INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Net Serviços de Comunicação S.A.

São Paulo - SP

IntroductionWe have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) of Net Serviços de Comunicação S.A. (“Company”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, comprising the balance sheet as at September 30, 2012 and the related income statement for the three and nine-month periods then ended and the statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the nine-month period then ended, including accompanying notes.  

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim financial information in accordance with Accounting Pronouncement CPC 21 – Interim Financial Reporting, and of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 and with the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the fair presentation of this information in conformity with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR), and presented consistently with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR), and presented consistently with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Other matters

Interim statements of value added

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim statement of value added for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, preparation of which management is responsible for, whose presentation in the interim financial information is required by standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR), and as supplementary information under IFRS, whereby no statement of value added presentation is required. These statements have been subjected to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, consistently with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

20. Commitments and provisions

I)Commitments 

The Company has several firm agreements with suppliers as follows:

	Rental of poles	Rental of ducts	Rental of offices	Equipment	Total
2012 (6 months)	32,108	2,333	8,025	42,652	85,118

Total	1,649,057	118,952	398,160	48,320	2,214,489

II)Provisions 

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal and administrative proceedings before several courts and governmental agencies arising during the normal course of operations, involving tax, labor, civil and other legal matters. These cases involve tax delinquency notices, compensation claims, requirements for contract review and other actions for which the amounts claimed can be substantially different from the final expected settlement value. In addition, it is not possible to predict when these cases will be settled, as they are dependent on factors outside the Company management’s control. The Company does not expect any reimbursement in connection with the outcome of these legal and administrative proceedings and, based in its legal advisors, pending judicial analysis an prior experience in the claim amounts, constituted provision considered enough to cover probable losses in the proceedings in course, as follows:

20. Commitments and provisions – continued

II)Provisions – continued

Management based on similar tax assessment defense issued by its lawyers believes that these expenses are in accordance with tax legislation, so there is therefore no reason for disallowance by tax authorities.

In September 2012, the Company settled the ICMS tax on access provider, in the state of Espírito Santo, in the amount of R$11,596. As a result of this payment, we reverse the allowance surplus, amounting to R$5,519, against income for the period.

Except for the matters above mentioned, the nature of the estimated liability for tax, labor and civil claims has not changed significantly in relation to disclosures made in note 21 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

21. Equity

Share capital

On September 30, 2012, the Company’s share capital is represented by 114,459,685 ordinary shares and 228,503,916 preferred shares with no par value.

The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 5, 2012 decided for the cancellation of the Company’s registration as a publicly-held company and the discontinuation of the Level 2 Special Corporate Governance Practices, both subject to the result of the unified public tender offer for the acquisition of all common and preferred shares issued by the Company, included those traded at Nasdaq and Latibex (Unified PTO) of which the maximum price to be offered will be R$26.04 adjusted by the CDI (Interbank Certificate of Deposit) as from March 5, 2012 until the date of delivery of the valuation report of the Company’s shares, that will be prepared by Banco BTG Pactual S.A.. In the event of the price of the shares, calculated pursuant the valuation report, exceeds the maximum price, Embrapar reserves the right to cancel the public offer for cancellation of registration and /or the purchase offer for delisting from level II of BM&FBOVESPA, and to proceed only with the purchase offer through sale of control.

21. Equity – continued

Share capital – continued

On July 5, 2012, Embrapar informed its decision to give up the public offering of shares of the Company for cancellation of registration as a public company and further will promote, together with its subsidiaries Embratel and GB, only the public offer for divestiture of the Company’s controlling shareholder at a price of R$26.64 per share, regardless of the class or type, adjusted by the CDI variation from June 8, 2012 until the date of auction, as well as the discontinuing by the Company, of the corporate governance practices of Level 2 of BM&FBOVESPA.

During the period ended September 30, 2012, Embrapar agreed with Globo Comunicação e Participações SA ("Globo") the terms and conditions of a restructuring of shareholdings held by Embrapar, its subsidiary, Embratel and Globo in the capital of the Company and GB. The implementation of this restructuring was initiated through partial spin-off of GB for an existing entity, the EG Participações S.A. ("EG"), whose controlling shareholder still held by Embrapar and Globo participates as a minority shareholder. Thus, the GB now holds 89,446,769 common shares and 223,080,448 preferred shares issued by the Company, representing 78.15% of its voting capital and 97.63% of non-voting capital and EG now holds 14,080,704 common shares of the Company, representing 12.30% of its voting capital.

Under this restructuring, it was determined that the terms and conditions of the current GB shareholders agreement will remain in force for regulating relations between the Globo and Embrapar, also linking  to EG , until the new shareholders' agreements of EG and the Company's , submitted to ANATEL to meet the regulatory requirements contained in Law 12.485/11, are approved.

24. Financial instruments

a)General considerations

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from its operations, and uses derivatives to minimize its exposure to such risks. The Company's revenues are generated in Brazilian reais, while the Company debts, interest charges and accounts payable to equipment suppliers are denominated in foreign currency. Therefore, the Company’s earnings are sensitive to exchange rate variations, in particular the US dollar. Market values of the Company's key financial assets and liabilities were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The use of different market methodologies may affect estimated realization values. Capital is managed using operational strategies aiming for protection, security and liquidity. The control policy involves constantly monitoring rates contracted against current market rates. The Company and its subsidiaries do not make speculative investments in derivatives or other risk assets.

The Company has a formal risk management policy. The Financial Committee that supports the Company's Board of Directors consists of members of the Stockholders and management, examines issues relating to investments, debt and risk management, and refers matters for management approval, Pursuant to internal policy; the Company's financial earnings must derive from cash generated through operations rather than gains on financial markets. Results obtained by the application of internal controls to manage risks were satisfactory for the proposed objectives.

25. Measurement and fair value hierarchy

Fair value is an existing price representing the value that would be received from the sale of an asset, or that would be paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction between market participants.

Therefore fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined using the assumptions market participants would make when pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for consideration thereof, a three-level fair value hierarchy is determined by prioritizing the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1. Observable inputs such as those with prices quoted in active markets;

•Level 2. Inputs other than those with prices quoted in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3. Unobservable inputs, for which there are few or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

		Measurement of fair value
	Derivative instruments – currency swap contracts	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)	Other significant observable sources(Level 2)	Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Balances at September 30, 2012 (unaudited)	(4,657)	-	(4,657)	-
Balances at December 31, 2011	(12,527)	-	(12,527)	-

Currency swap derivative instruments are tools for managing risks arising from the effects of a major devaluation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar, which are inputs, other prices quoted in active markets, which are directly or indirectly observable.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 , there were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 in relation to the measurement of the fair value or transfers to level 3.

26. Insurance

The Company has a policy of contracting insurance coverage for assets subject to risks at amounts deemed sufficient to cover any claims, taking into consideration the nature of its operations. The risk assumptions adopted, given their nature, are not included in the scope of a review of the interim financial statements, therefore, they were not reviewed by our independent auditors.
