PROTOCOL OF Merger AND JUSTIFICATION OF
EMBRAER – EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE AERONÁUTICA S.A. WITH AND
INTO RIO HAN EMPREENDIMENTOS E PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A.

Under this private agreement, the managers of the companies below,

EMBRAER – EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE AERONÁUTICA S.A., a public company with head offices in the City of São José dos Campos, State of São Paulo, at Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 2,170, enrolled with CNPJ/MF under no. 60.208.493/0001-81, with articles of incorporation filed with the Commercial Registry of the State of São Paulo – JUCESP, under NIRE 35.300.026.420, represented herein in accordance with its By-laws (“Embraer” or “Merged Company”); and

RIO HAN EMPREENDIMENTOS E PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A., a closed company with head offices in the City of São José dos Campos, State of São Paulo, at Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 2,170, building F56, ground floor, room 2,565, enrolled with the CNPJ/MF under no. 07.689.002/0001-89, with articles of incorporation filed with the Commercial Registry of the State of São Paulo – JUCESP under NIRE 35.300.325.761, represented herein in accordance with its By-laws (“Rio Han”, “New Embraer” or “Mergor Company” and, together with Embraer, the “Companies”),

WHEREAS:

(A)          The development of new products by Embraer, as well as the sustainability, growth and continuity of its businesses and activities depends on the improvement of its capacity to access the national and international capital markets, to allow for the raising of funds;

(B)          The current capital structure of Embraer not only limits such access to the capital markets, but also precludes the obtaining of higher stock liquidity, since it restricts the adoption of higher corporate governance standards, including, for example, the granting of voting rights to all shareholders and the strengthening and independence of its management;

(C)          As a result of the transaction described herein, New Embraer will become the first major Brazilian company with dispersed capital and decision-making powers only exercised by Brazilian shareholders. The new structure will also allow the Rio Han to be listed on the BOVESPA’s Novo Mercado segment, thus increasing the liquidity and market valuation of its shares, by improving the corporate governance standards arising from the extension of voting rights to all shareholders of New Embraer (the “Restructuring”);

(D)          The above mentioned proposal, as structured by the management of the Companies, will represent a landmark in the Brazilian capital market, not only for mechanisms introduced to restrict the acquisition of control and hostile take over, but also due to the high levels of corporate governance to be implemented, both initiatives without precedent in Brazil;

(E)          Rio Han is a privately-held company, whose only shareholders are Cia. Bozano (“Bozano”), Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil – PREVI (“Previ”) and Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social (“SISTEL” and, collectively, the “Controlling Shareholders”), which was specifically organized to serve as a vehicle for the transactions described herein; and

(F)          The management of Rio Han and Embraer, after conducting the necessary studies, believes that the implementation of the transactions described herein will benefit the Companies, their shareholders and the market in general;

the Companies hereby DECIDE, based on articles 224, 225, 227 and 264 of Law 6,404/76 (the “Brazilian Corporation Law”) and CVM Instruction no. 319/99, to enter into this Protocol of Merger and Justification of Embraer – Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. into Rio Han Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. (the “Merger Agreement”), which terms and conditions shall guide the proposal of the Merger to be submitted to the shareholders of each of the Companies, as follows:

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
1.1.	This Protocol provides for the Merger of Embraer with and into its controlling shareholder, Rio Han, which will succeed Embraer in all its rights and obligations, pursuant to articles 224, 225, 227 and 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law (the “Merger”).
1.2.	As a preliminary measure to the Merger, the Controlling Shareholders, as sole shareholders of Rio Han, approved, on January 18, 2006, the capital increase of Rio Han, through the transfer of all the total common shares subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement of Embraer, entered into on July 24, 1997, as amended (“Control Shares” and “Shareholders’ Agreement”, respectively). As a result of such capital increase, Rio Han currently holds 60% of the voting capital and 20.16% of the total capital stock of Embraer, and holds the control of Embraer.

2

1.3.	Upon approval of the Merger, both the Shareholders’ Agreement and Embraer will automatically cease to exist. The shareholders and holders of American Depositary Shares – ADS of the Merged Company, regardless of the type of shares held, will receive, respectively, common shares or ADS issued by New Embraer, according to the exchange ratio set forth in Section 6.4 below. The golden share issued by Embraer and held by the Federal Government (“Golden Share”) will be replaced by another golden share issued by New Embraer.
1.4.	The common and preferred shares issued by Embraer, as well as the ADS, will be replaced by voting common shares or ADS, as the case may be, issued by New Embraer.
1.5.	The By-laws of New Embraer will prohibit the issuance of preferred shares.
2.	RATIONALE, PURPOSES AND INTERESTS OF THE COMPANIES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRANSACTION
2.1.	The primary purpose of the Restructuring is to create a basis for the sustainability, growth and continuity of the business of Embraer, through its successor, New Embraer. Such goals will be achieved through a greater access of New Embraer to the capital markets, increase of its capacity for fund raising for the development of new products and expansion of its businesses and markets.
2.2.	The management of the Companies expect that the following benefits will result from the Restructuring:

(A)	Benefits to Embraer resulting from the Restructuring, after its Merger into New Embraer:
	(i)	To enhance the capacity to attract resources to support its expansion programs because of increased access to capital markets, currently limited due to: (a) the share control structure of the Embraer; and (b) the maximum proportion allowed by the Brazilian Corporate Law between common and preferred shares;
	(ii)	Possibility of use of New Embraer’s shares as acquisition currency of assets, which shall allow its potential international expansion.

3

(B)	Benefits to the current shareholders of Embraer:
	(i)	Extension of voting rights to all shareholders – including to the depositary of the ADR program, which will vote instructed by the ADS holders – since the shares of New Embraer will be common shares, thus allowing New Embraer’s admission to BOVESPA’s Novo Mercado segment;
	(ii)	Potential liquidity of shares, thus impacting its quotation on the stock exchanges;
	(iii)	Improvement of the corporate governance practices and higher transparency in the management of New Embraer; and
	(iv)	For the Current Controlling Shareholders, establishment of a premium for the termination of the Shareholders’ Agreement and relinquishing of the control of Embraer. Based on the Restructuring proposal, such premium shall be attributed to the Control Shares upon the attribution of a differentiated exchange ratio when compared to that attributed to the other shares issued by Embraer, at the moment of the Merger.
(C)	Benefits to the Brazilian Capital Markets:
	(i)	creation of the first major Brazilian company with dispersed corporate control and adequate structure to be listed on BOVESPA’s Novo Mercado, creating a standard that may be used as model for similar transactions; and
	(ii)	creation of a new corporate governance benchmark.

4

	(D)	Benefits to the Federal Government:
		(i)	maintenance of the rights attributed to the Golden Share and improvement of the conditions for its application;
		(ii)	assurance of the majority of voting rights being held by Brazilian shareholders, due to the limitation of foreign shareholders’ voting rights set forth in the By-Laws of New Embraer, in order to maintain the principle established in the Privatization Notice of Embraer;
		(iii)	control over the concentration of equity interest in the capital stock of New Embraer equal to or greater than 35%;
		(iv)	statutory assurance of maintenance of a capital dispersed structure, due to the adoption of mechanisms restricting the number of votes that can be casted by each shareholder or group of shareholders; and
		(v)	assurance that New Embraer will remain as the technological and industrial partner of the Brazilian Army strategic actions, thus taking into consideration the maintenance of the control of New Embraer with Brazilian shareholders and the strengthening of the rights of the Golden Share.

	Valuation Report of Market Value of Shareholders’ Equity
5.1.	As set forth in article 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the valuation report of market value of shareholders’ equity of Embraer and Rio Han, for purposes of calculation of the withdrawal price described in item 9.7 below, was conducted by Acal Consultoria e Auditoria S/S (“ACAL”), with head offices in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, at Av. Paulista, 2,300, Pilotis, Cj. 60, enrolled with CNPJ/MF under no. 28.005.734/0003-44, on January 18, 2006, according to the valuation reports attached hereto as Exhibits I and II. Such valuation reports were prepared according to the same criteria and same base date (September 30, 2005), based on the duly audited financial statements of the Merged Company and Rio Han. For such purposes, ACAL accounted the necessary adjustments in the balance sheets of Rio Han, in order to reflect the transfer of the Control Shares into its capital stock, dated as of January 18, 2006, having as assumptions that Rio Han: (i) has the Control Shares as its sole assets; and (ii) does not have any liability or obligations that could adversely affect its net equity. The results of the valuation carried out by ACAL are presented as follows:

6

EXCHANGE RATIO – MARKET VALUE	EMBRAER	RIO HAN
Valuation of market value (in thousands of reais)	2,756,720.00	555,776.40
Shares comprising the capital stock	721,832,057	162,306,763
Exchange ratio of the common and preferred shares based on the valuation of market value	1.11543 shares of Rio Han for 1 share of Embraer

	Valuation Report of Shareholders’ Equity
5.2.	The capital increase of Rio Han resulting from the Merger, as set forth in Section 7 below, will be calculated based on the Valuation Report of Shareholders’ Equity of Embraer, as prepared on January 18, 2006 by ACAL, above qualified, attached hereto as Exhibit III. The valuation carried out by ACAL was prepared based on the accounting net equity of Embraer, according to its balance sheet dated as of September 30, 2005, duly audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes. According to this accounting valuation report, Embraer’s net equity on September 30, 2005 amounted to R$4,771,725,554.66.
	Financial Analyses
5.3.	In order to support the determination of the exchange ratio between the shares issued by Embraer for those issued by Rio Han, Goldman, Sachs & Companhia, with head offices in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, at Av. Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek, 510, 6th floor, enrolled with the CNPJ/MF under no. 30.892.178/0001-55 (“Goldman Sachs”) was retained to prepare the financial analyses of Embraer (“Financial Analysis”) attached hereto as Exhibit IV.

7

5.4.	The management of the Companies understand that, among the several valuation methods addressed in the Financial Analysis, the discounted cash flow method is the one which best reflects the value of the Merged Company and, consequently, of the Mergor Company, since the assets of the latter comprise exclusively the Control Shares held by the Controlling Shareholders.
5.5.	Considering that New Embraer: (i) has the sole purpose to serve as a vehicle for implementation of the Restructuring; (ii) has as sole assets the Control Shares; and (iii) does not have any liability or obligation of any kind which could adversely affect its net equity, the management of the Companies concluded that each share or ADS issued by Embraer not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, regardless of the type of share, will correspond to one common share or ADS issued by Rio Han.
5.6.	Consequently, the management of the Companies recommend that all shares or ADS issued by Embraer and not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement be replaced by shares or ADSs issued by the Mergor Company, as follows:

SHAREHOLDER/HOLDER OF ADS OF EMBRAER	TYPE AND NUMBER OF SHARES/ADS ISSUED BY RIO HAN TO BE RECEIVED
Shareholder owner of one common share of Embraer	One common share of Rio Han
Shareholder owner of one preferred share of Embraer	One common share of Rio Han
Holder of one ADS of Embraer	One ADS of Rio Han

6.

PREMIUM PERCEIVED BY EMBRAER’S SHARES SUBJECT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

6.1.

Based on the contents of the Financial Analysis, the management of the Companies understands that there is a legitimate and justified expectation of the Current Controlling Shareholders that the Control Shares receive an amount higher than that applied to the other shares that are not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement. The Merger will result in the dilution of New Embraer’s shareholding composition and, therefore, will equalize the amount of all New Embraer shares, granting to its shareholders, indistinctly, higher chances of influencing management.

8

6.2.

The Financial Analysis examines the elements that would justify the payment of a premium of up to 24.4% to the holders of the Control Shares, on the valuation value of the shares of Embraer not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, regardless of their type.  The management of the Companies understands that the approval of the Restructuring proposal by the Current Controlling Shareholders provides incentives that justify the waiver of rights currently set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement and the power to control the Company.

6.3.

On the other hand, the management of the Companies must consider the best interests of the Companies and the group represented by all their shareholders, without favoring any group, whether controlling or minority. Due to the assumptions above, and based on the opinions of the most renowned Brazilian scholars, the management of the Company and Rio Han proposed the implementation of the Restructuring, based on the following exchange ratio:

SHARE/ADS OF EMBRAER	TYPE AND NUMBER OF SHARES/ADS ISSUED BY RIO HAN TO BE RECEIVED
1 Control Share	1.1153 common shares
1 share/ADS not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement	1 common share or ADS

6.4.	Due to the Restructuring: (i) the transfer of the Control Shares to the capital stock of the Mergor Company will be made at the ratio of 1.1153 share of New Embraer for each Control Share; and (ii) the Proposal of the Executive Committee and the Merger Agreement determine that, upon the Merger, each ADS or share of the Company not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, regardless of the type, will be replaced by one ADS or common share of New Embraer, as the case maybe, such proposal to be submitted to the shareholders of Embraer includes the concession of a premium of 9.0%, exclusively to the Control Shares.
6.5.	The implementation of the Restructuring will result in the increase in the interest participation of the Control Shares, from 20.16% of the Company’s capital stock to 21.97% of New Embraer’s capital stock. On the other hand, the interest of the shares not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, including those held by the Current Controlling Shareholders, will be reduced from 79.84% of the Company’s capital stock to 78.03% of New Embraer’s capital stock, resulting in a dilution of 2.3%.
6.6.	Embraer’s common and preferred shares held by the Current Controlling Shareholders, but not subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, will not be entitled to the premium referred to above and will receive the same treatment given to the shares held by the non-controlling shareholders.

9

7.	CAPITAL INCREASE OF RIO HAN
7.1.	The Merger will be effected by transferring the net assets of Embraer to Rio Han, as valued by ACAL based on the balance sheets of Embraer dated as of September 30, 2005, duly audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes. The balances of the accounts of assets and liabilities of Embraer will be recorded in the accounting books of Rio Han with the necessary adjustments. The shares issued by Embraer and held by Rio Han will be cancelled.
7.2.	According to the valuation report prepared by ACAL, the net equity of Embraer to be merged into Rio Han, based on the balance sheet prepared on September 30, 2005, amounts to R$3,809,708,284.77, corresponding to the total net equity of Embraer, less the portion corresponding to the investment of Rio Han in Embraer’s capital stock. The net equity variation verified at Embraer between September 30, 2005, and the date the General Shareholders’ Meeting approves the Merger, will be appropriated by the Mergor.
7.3.	As a result of the Merger, Rio Han will succeed Embraer in all its assets, rights and obligations, without interruption of corporate continuity. Upon the approval of the Merger, Embraer will cease to exist for all legal purposes. The shareholders of Embraer will become shareholders of Rio Han based on the exchange rate determined herien and proportionally to their equity interest.
7.4.	Therefore, as a result of the Merger, the capital stock of Rio Han will be increased by R$3,809,708,284.77, from R$962,017,769.89 to R$4,771,726,054.66, and the shares issued by Rio Han subscribed by Embraer, to be distributed amongst the shareholders of the latter, may vary based on the decision of the common shareholders of Embraer to exercise or not exercise their withdrawal right due to the Merger.
7.5.	After the Merger, the capital stock of New Embraer will comprise 738,611,819 common shares and one Golden Share, all nominative, book-entry and with no par value.

10

8.	SHARES TO BE RECEIVED BY THE PREFFERRED SHAREHOLDERS OF  EMBRAER DUE TO THE Merger
8.1.	The common and preferred shares issued by Embraer, as well as the ADS, will be exclusively replaced by common shares or ADS, as the case may be, issued by Rio Han; therefore, the preferred shareholders of Embraer will no longer be granted, as of the Merger, with the following rights: (i) priority in capital reimbursement; and (ii) priority in receiving dividends per share 10% higher than those granted to the common shares, acquiring, however, voting rights.
8.2.	The management of the Companies consider equitable the application of the same exchange rate between the Company’s common and preferred shares (ADS included) and New Embraer’s shares and ADS, since the equity losses suffered by the preferred shares (including those in form of ADS) of Embraer will be offset against the acquisition of the voting rights granted to the shareholders of Rio Han.
8.3.	New Embraer’s shares and ADS issued on behalf of the Company’s shareholders as a result of the Merger will be entitled to all rights prescribed in New Embraer’s By-Laws, and will have full participation in the financial results for 2006.
9.	DISSENTERS’ OR APPRAISAL RIGHTS
9.1.	The Merger will grant appraisal rights to the shareholders of the Merged Company who expressly disagree with the proposal within 30 days as from the publication of the minutes of the General Shareholders’ Meeting which approves the Merger Agreement, and the payment of the respective reimbursement will depend on the effective conclusion of the transaction, as set forth in article 230 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.
9.2.	In accordance with article 137, item II of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the withdrawal rights are not granted to holders of shares of any type that cumulatively presents: (i) liquidity, typified by the listing of such shares in a trading index; and (ii) dispersed ownership, in which case the controlling shareholder, the controlling company or other companies under its control, hold less than half of the shares of such type or class.
9.3.	Both Embraer’s common shares and preferred shares are listed in the Bovespa Index, but only preferred shares are dispersely held. Accordingly, appraisal rights will be assured to the shareholders of Embraer’s common shares who timely and formally express their disagreement with the Merger, being these shareholders entitled to claim the auditing of the special balance sheet of Embraer, as set forth in paragraph 2 of article 45 of Law 6,404/76, for purposes of calculation of the reimbursement price.

11

9.4.	The express disagreement will be considered as timely if received within 30 days as from the publication of the minutes of the General Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company that approves the Merger. In the cases in which auditing of the special balance sheet is requested, according to paragraph 2 of article 45 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the shareholder will receive 80% of the reimbursement price, and the balance, if any, will be paid within 120 days from the date of the resolution in the respective Meeting, as set forth in paragraph 3 of article 137 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.
9.5.	The appraisal rights of Embraer’s shareholders dissenting from the Merger will be limited to the shares held by these shareholders until the day of the first publication of the call notice to the General Shareholders’ Meeting, and cannot be exercised in relation to the shares purchased afterwards, as set forth in paragraph 1 of article 137 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.
9.6.	Since the Merger involves two companies respectively controlled by and controller of each other, pursuant to article 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, ACAL must determine, based on the valuation report mentioned in item 5.1 above, the shareholders’ equity of the Companies on the base date September 30, 2005, as indicated in line “1” of the following chart:

		EMBRAER	RIO HAN
(1)	Market value per share	R$3.82	R$3.42
(2)	Exchange ratio at market value (article 264 of the Brazilian Corporation Law)	1 share of Embraer for each 1,1153 shares of New Embraer
(3)	Exchange ratio proposed at economic value (per share)	1 share of New Embraer for each share of Embraer
(4)	Reimbursement price per share calculated based on the Embraer’s book value	R$6.61
(5)	Reimbursement price per share calculated based on the Embraer’s market value	R$3.82

12

9.7.	As set forth in the main section and paragraph 3 of article 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law and considering that the exchange ratio of Embraer’s shares for New Embraer’s shares proposed in line 2 above is more benefic than the one proposed in line 3 above, the reimbursement to the shareholders of Embraer that timely and formally express their disagreement with the Merger will be guaranteed and made based on the greater of the following amounts: (i) Embraer’s book value, calculated on September 30, 2005, as presented in line “4” of the chart above; and (ii) Embraer’s market value, calculated on September 30, 2005, as presented in line “5” of the chart above.

This measure, set forth based on article 110, paragraph 1 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, intends to avoid the excessive concentration of shares in the hands of a sole shareholder or group of shareholders. With due observance to the privileges granted to the Golden Share, which aims to avoid the excessive concentration of shares in the hands of one shareholder or group of shareholders, as set forth in item (C) hereunder, this restriction does not impose any limitation to the ownership of shares or to the economical rights of the shares, including in relation to the distribution of dividends.

In case an authorization by the Federal Government is obtained, such increase in participation will also be subject to a Public Tender Offer for Acquisition of Shares (OPA) of the total shares and ADS of New Embraer, at the price calculated based on the criteria established in the By-Laws. This mechanism ensures, at once, that: (i) the Federal Government will have the control over the acquisition of interest equal or higher than 35% of the capital stock of New Embraer; and (ii) in case such authorization is granted, the other shareholders of New Embraer may sell their shares to the offering shareholder.

(F)	Breaches to Legal and Statutory Provisions. Pursuant to article 120 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the violations with the law or the By-Laws of New Embraer will subject the violating shareholder to the suspension of its political rights (i.e., the temporary loss of its voting rights), upon decision of the General Shareholders’ Meeting in this sense, such suspension to be ceased as soon as the obligation is complied with. The provision mentioned above is also included in the proposed By-Laws of New Embraer, in order to emphasize that such measure may also be adopted upon proposal of the management of New Embraer, in case of breach to the statutory provisions, especially those mentioned in items (A), (B), (C) and (D) above.

This valuation report is divided into sections as follows:

• Objectives

• Bases and Approaches for the Valuation

• Approach Adopted and Summary of Work Performed

• Conclusion

I.     OBJECTIVES

          The purpose of this Valuation Report is to record the valuation, at market value, of the shareholders’ equity of EMBRAER for purposes of its Merger with and into the holding company (Rio Han), as a result of a corporate reorganization, of EMBRAER in accordance with the requirement of article 264 of Law No. 6404/76, and according to the methodology established in article 183, § 1, of the same law. There were also observed, the technical requirements from the Instruction CVM No. 319 issued on December 3rd 1999, and the related update from the Instructions CVM No. 320/99 and 349/01.

II.     BASES AND APPROACHES FOR THE VALUATION

          Determining the value of a company’s shares is subject to different variables, as well as various uncontrollable factors, considering that it will always take certain subjective aspects into account. As examples, we cite some of the main aspects that affect such determination:

EMBRAER Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A.
Shareholders’ Equity Valuation Report – Market Value
Base Date September 30, 2005
2   

(a)	The perspectives of the owners versus the perspectives of a potential buyer;
(b)	The economic conditions that allowed for past results may be better or worse in the future;
(c)	Political and economic conditions, which may fluctuate completely out of control;
(d)	The strategic interests of economic groups or specific programs, such as the privatization program;
(e)	The existence of several valuation approaches that generate quite different results.

          Accordingly, the work of determining the value of shares in capital is not precise, and contains subjective aspects, depending on the owner’s expectations and the use of the shares.

          However, there are various approaches used to estimate the fair value of shares. Although such approaches vary in their applicability, depending on specific facts and circumstances, they may at least indicate a range of reasonable values for a preliminary determination of such value.

2.1.     EXAMPLES OF APPROACHES BASED ON THE VALUE OF NET ASSETS

Equity Valuation

This valuation approach is used to determine the fair market value of specific assets, provide a basis for certain adjustments to net book value (as mentioned above) and as a starting point to estimate the liquidation value. In addition, equity valuation also provides an adequate basis for the business’ value and is frequently used in negotiations of companies, with the value being adjusted according to applicable depreciations and obsolescence.

Liquidation Value

The liquidation value has been used as a basis for negotiations of prices and, therefore, represents an initial range of interest to both buyers and sellers.

The liquidation value is determined through the estimate of the value of the company’s assets, assuming its conversion into currency in a reasonably short period of time, deducting all the company’s obligations, as well as the liquidation cost of the business, including valuation fees, brokerage commissions, taxes and legal fees.

The liquidation value may be determined considering both an orderly liquidation as well as a faster and forced liquidation of the business. This last approach will obviously result in a lower value.

However, this criterion would not be the most adequate one for purposes of valuation of shares in companies with ongoing operating activities.

2.2.     EXAMPLES OF METHODS BASED ON RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Price/Profit Ratio

For publicly-trade companies, the price/profit ratio is known and could easily be used to obtain the estimated value of the shares of such companies, through the multiplication of the price/profit by the expected aggregated results. The average price/profit for the industry or for several comparable publicly-trade companies may be used to arrive at an indication of the value. Often, a shareholder control premium is added to this estimated value.

A valuation through the price/profit approach may also be used to estimate the value of a certain company. Assuming a profit growth rate estimated by the current shareholders and a return on investment desired by the acquirer, the latter may determine the multiple of profit that would still allow it to achieve its return target. This approach allows the buyer to determine the price it is willing to pay, to compare it with that desired by the seller.

Discounted Net Cash Flow

The analysis of discounted net cash flow may be used to estimate the value of a company and, consequently, its shares, based on the present value of its cash flow estimates. In theory, this approach should result in the same value as that determined using the price/profit ratio, since the latter reflects the current perception of how much a company will be worth in the future.

In practice, this analysis is growingly used to determine a company’s value because it is based on an effective estimate of cash flows, incorporating factors such as cost reductions due to synergies, product development, etc., and not on the simple market perception of future profits for the company. Other factors that affect the stock market and, consequently, the price/profit ratio, are also eliminated in the analysis of the discounted cash flow.

III.     APPROACH ADOPTED AND SUMMARY OF WORK PERFORMED

          As mentioned previously, there are various approaches to determine a company’s market value.

          To determine the value of EMBRAER’s shareholders’ equity at market prices, as of September 30, 2005, considering its characteristics as an operating company and a holding company, the application of the usual criteria for valuation of assets inevitably entails determining the value of the investments that the company holds in its subsidiaries EMBRAER Aircraft Holding, EMBRAER Liebherr Equip. Brasil, EMBRAER Representation LLC, EMBRAER Spain Holding CO and HARBIM Embraer Airc. Ind. Co. These investments, in the amount of R$ 948,770,000, as of the valuation date, equal 6.74% of the company’s total assets, therefore being significant assets in the value of the shareholders’ equity of the investor (EMBRAER).

          For purposes of this Report, we adopted as valuation criterion, as prescribed by  article 264 of the Law 6.404/76, the adjustment to market value of EMBRAER`s and its subsidiaries net assets, on the base date September 30 2005, and the recognition of these adjustments, under the equity method, in the shareholders’ equity of EMBRAER.

          The market value adjustment of the net assets of the parent company EMBRAER and its subsidiaries took into consideration legal definitions and precepts, notably article 264 of Law No. 6404/76, and according to the approach established in article 183, § 1, of the same law. That methodology consider that the assets have to be evaluated by their net market value for the purpose to be sold to a third party, assuming that the company will stop its operations immediately.

          Under the provisions of this article, market value is considered:

(a)	For raw materials and storeroom supplies, the price at which they may be replaced, through purchase in the market;
(b)	For goods and rights intended for sale, the net realization price through sales to the market, less taxes and other expenses necessary for the sale, and the profit margin;
(c)	For investments, the net value at which they can be sold to third parties.

          Within the parameters defined for the preparation of this valuation, the determination of the equity value – net value at market prices – of the shareholders’ equity of EMBRAER and its subsidiaries, as of the base date of September 30, 2005, is also based on a limited review performed by our firm on these companies’ financial statements, as of that date.

This valuation report is divided into sections as follows:

• Objectives

• Bases and Approaches for the Valuation

• Approach Adopted and Summary of Work Performed

• Conclusion

I.          OBJECTIVES

          The purpose of this Valuation Report is to record the valuation, at market value, of the shareholders’ equity of Rio Han for purposes of Merger with a subsidiary (Embraer), due to a corporate reorganization involving Rio Han and Embraer, in accordance with the requirement of article 264 of Law No. 6404/76, and according to the methodology established in article 183, § 1, of the same law. The provisions contained in CVM Instruction No. 319, of December 3, 1999, with the due amendments enacted by CVM Instructions No. 320/99 and 349/01, were also observed.

II.          BASES AND APPROACHES FOR THE VALUATION

          Determining the value of a company’s shares is subject to different variables, as well as various uncontrollable factors, considering that it will always take certain subjective aspects into account. As examples, we cite some of the main aspects that affect such determination:

III.          APPROACH ADOPTED AND SUMMARY OF WORK PERFORMED

          As mentioned previously, there are various approaches to determine a company’s market value.

          For the purpose of this report, we adopted as valuation criterion, in accordance with article 264 of Law No. 6.404/76 the adjustment to market value of the net assets of Rio Han, as of September 20, 2005, except in regard to Rio Han’s interest in Embraer, adding to 145,527,000 registered common shares, which make up its control block and represent 20.16% of its capital. These shares have been transferred to the company’s capital valuated on the date this report was written. Thus, this Report contemplates Rio Han’s net assets as of September 30, 2005, adjusted by the effect of the capital subscription of Issued Embraer shares on that date.

          Within the parameters defined for the preparation of this valuation, the determination of the market value of the shareholders’ equity of Rio Han, as of September 30, 2005, is also based on a limited review performed by us on the company’s financial statements, duly audited as of that date. This procedure was performed according to certain generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included tests on the accounting records necessary in the circumstances for the specific purpose of determining the equity value – at market prices of said equity. These examinations found that the aforementioned records and elements were in accordance with all legal formalities, including regarding the observance of generally accepted accounting principles, being uniform and consistently applied by the entity. In addition, the financial statements of the subsidiary Embraer and its main investees have been audited by other independent auditors as of September 30, 2005, whose opinion thereon, dated November 10, 2005, was unqualified.

          These reviewed financial statements, as of the aforementioned base date, with the purpose of showing the assets stated with the respective realization values, already contain, for example, the following provisions:

- Allowance for doubtful accounts;

- Provision for adjustment to realization value;

- Provision for depreciation; and

- Provision for amortization.

          Additionally, with the purpose of adjusting the said financial statements to the valuation criterion of the shareholders’ equity at market prices, as shown in the chart below, we have adjusted the amounts related to the investments in Embraer (shares transferred to Rio Han’ shareholders), owing to adjustments to the following financial accounts of that company:

- Prepaid expenses

- Deferred tax assets calculated on tax losses, available for offset against future income

- Unamortized goodwill/negative goodwill on the acquisition of investments

- Deferred assets

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY VALUATION REPORT
EMBRAER – EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE AERONÁUTICA S.A.
CNPJ/MF 60.208.493/0001-81

          ACAL CONSULTORIA E AUDITORIA S/S, a company specialized in valuations, with office at Avenida Paulista 2300, andar Pilotis - conj. 60, São Paulo – SP, registered with the CRC/SP (Regional Accounting Council of São Paulo State) under number 2RJ001144/F-4, and registered in the CNPJ (National Register of Legal Entities) of the Ministry of Finance under number 28.005.734/0003-44, and whose technical person in charge is Mr. Elias da Silveira Cerqueira, after having conducted the necessary studies and research, hereby presents the Valuation Report of the Market Value of the Shareholders’ Equity of EMBRAER - EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE AERONÁUTICA S.A., a corporation with principal place of business at Av.

• Objectives

• Bases and Approaches for the Valuation

• Approach Adopted and Summary of Work Performed

• Conclusion

I.          OBJECTIVES

          The purpose of this Valuation Report is to record the valuation, at book value, of the shareholders’ equity of EMBRAER for purposes of its Merger with and into the holding company (Rio Han), as a result of a corporate reorganization of EMBRAER in accordance with the requirement of article 264 of Law No. 6404/76, and according to the methodology established in article 183, § 1, of the same law.

II.          BASES AND APPROACHES FOR THE VALUATION

          Determining the value of a company’s shareholders’ equity is subject to different variables, as well as various uncontrollable factors, considering that it will always take certain subjective aspects into account. As examples, we cite some of the main aspects that affect such determination:

(a) The perspectives of the owners versus the perspectives of a potential buyer;

(b) The economic conditions that allowed for past results may be better or worse in the future;

(c) Political and economic conditions, which may fluctuate completely out of control;

(d) The strategic interests of economic groups or specific programs, such as privatization programs;

(e) The existence of several valuation approaches that generate quite different results.

          Accordingly, the work of determining the value of shares in capital is not precise, and contains subjective aspects, depending on the owner’s expectations and the use of the shares.

          However, there are various approaches used to estimate the fair value of shares. Although such approaches vary in their applicability, depending on specific facts and circumstances, they may at least indicate a range of reasonable values for a preliminary determination of such value.

2.1.     EXAMPLES OF APPROACHES BASED ON THE VALUE OF NET ASSETS

Equity Valuation

          This valuation approach is used to determine the fair market value of specific assets, provide a basis for certain adjustments to net book value (as mentioned above) and as a starting point to estimate the liquidation value. In addition, equity valuation also provides an adequate basis for the business’ value and is frequently used in negotiations of companies, with the value being adjusted according to applicable depreciations and obsolescence.

Liquidation Value

          The liquidation value has been used as a basis for negotiations of prices and, therefore, represents an initial range of interest to both buyers and sellers.

          The liquidation value is determined through the estimate of the value of the company’s assets, assuming its conversion into currency in a reasonably short period of time, deducting all the company’s obligations, as well as the liquidation cost of the business, including valuation fees, brokerage commissions, taxes and legal fees.

EMBRAER – EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE AERONÁUTICA S.A.
Shareholder’s Equity Valuation Report – As of September 30,  2005
3   

          The liquidation value may be determined considering both an orderly liquidation as well as a faster and forced liquidation of the business. This last approach will obviously result in a lower value.

          However, this criterion would not be the most adequate one for purposes of valuation of shares in companies with ongoing operating activities.

2.2     EXAMPLES OF METHODS BASED ON RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Price/Profit Ratio

          For publicly-traded companies, the price/profit ratio is known and could easily be used to obtain the estimated value of the shares of such companies, through the multiplication of the price/profit by the expected aggregated results. The average price/profit for the industry or for several comparable publicly-traded companies may be used to arrive at an indication of the value. Often, a shareholder control premium is added to this estimated value.

          A valuation through the price/profit approach may also be used to estimate the value of a certain company. Assuming a profit growth rate estimated by the current shareholders and a return on investment desired by the acquirer, the latter may determine the multiple of profit that would still allow it to achieve its return target. This approach allows the buyer to determine the price it is willing to pay, to compare it with that desired by the seller.

Discounted Net Cash Flow

          The analysis of discounted net cash flow may be used to estimate the value of a company and, consequently, its shares, based on the present value of its cash flow estimates. In theory, this approach should result in the same value as that determined using the price/profit ratio, since the latter reflects the current perception of how much a company will be worth in the future.

          In practice, this analysis is growingly used to determine a company’s value because it is based on an effective estimate of cash flows, incorporating factors such as cost reductions due to synergies, product development, etc., and not on the simple market perception of future profits for the company. Other factors that affect the stock market and, consequently, the price/profit ratio, are also eliminated in the analysis of the discounted cash flow.

III.          APPROACH ADOPTED AND SUMMARY OF WORK PERFORMED

          As mentioned previously, there are various approaches to determine a company’s value.

          To determine the book value of EMBRAER’s shareholders’ equity, as of September 30, 2005, we chose the book valuation approach, since it seems to be the most adequate one under the circumstances - a Merger of companies of the same business group - and since the shares that represent this equity have not been exposed to any fact that may be used to justify their overvaluation.

          Within the parameters defined for the preparation of this valuation, the determination of the book value of the shareholders’ equity of EMBRAER, as of September 30, 2005, is also based on a limited review performed by us of the company’s financial statements, as of that date. This procedure was performed according to certain generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included tests on the accounting records necessary in the circumstances for the specific purpose of determining the book value of said equity. These examinations found that the aforementioned records and elements were in accordance with all legal formalities, including regarding the observance of generally accepted accounting principles, being uniform and consistently applied by the entity, including the fact that the book value did not exceed the market value. In addition, the financial statements of the parent company EMBRAE R and its main subsidiaries have been audited by other independent auditors as of September 30, 2005, whose opinion thereon, dated November 10, 2005, was unqualified.

          In light of the above, and considering the provisions of Article 8 of Law No. 6404, of December 15, 1976, and subsequent amendments, verifications were performed on the accounting books and records that gave rise to the Balance Sheet, as well as the respective documents that gave rise to it, although based on selective tests and by sampling.

          For all legal purposes, ACAL states that: (i) it has no direct or indirect interest in any of the companies involved in this work or in their operations, and there is no significant circumstance that may characterize a conflict of interest for the issuance of this Report; and (ii) there has been no attempt by EMBRAER’s controlling shareholders or management to direct, limit, hinder, or perform any action that might have affected the access to and the use and knowledge of any information, assets, documents or work methodologies relevant to our conclusions.

Financial Analyses

Regarding the Restructuring of the Capital Stock of Embraer

Goldman Sachs & Cia.

January-2006

Disclaimers

Goldman Sachs & Co. together with Goldman, Sachs & Cia. (“Goldman Sachs”) has been engaged by EMBRAER – Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. (“Embraer”, or the “Company”) as financial advisor to assist the Company in its analysis and consideration of a potential restructuring of the capital stock of the Company which would result in the consolidation of the Company’s voting shares (ONs) and non-voting shares (PNs) into a single, voting (ON) class (the “Transaction”).  In connection with our engagement, we have been requested to perform financial analyses (the “Financial Analyses”) for the consideration of the Board of Directors of Embraer in its determination of a proposed exchange ratio applicable to the shares of the Company held by Cia. Bozano (“Bozano”), Previ – Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (“Previ”) and Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social (“Sistel”, and together with Bozano and Previ, the “Controlling Shareholders”) that are party to of a Shareholders’ Agreement between the Controlling Shareholders, dated as of July 24, 1997, as amended (the “Control Shares”), relative to the remaining shares of the Company (the “Non-control Shares”).  References herein to “Shares” shall include both the ONs and the PNs.

Our Financial Analyses have been prepared for the exclusive use of Embraer’s Board of Directors in connection with its analysis of the Transaction, as described above, and should not be used for any other purposes, including, without limitation, for capital formation under the terms of the Corporation Law, including, but not limited to, its Article 8.  This Report should is not, and should not be construed as, an opinion as to the fairness of the Transaction, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Non-control shares or to the Controlling Shareholders.  Our Financial Analyses have been prepared in both the Portuguese and English languages, and the Portuguese version shall prevail for all purposes.

In connection with preparing our analyses, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company prepared and approved by its senior management; (ii) publicly available financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 of the Company, which were audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu - Auditores Independentes (“Auditors”); (iii) certain other financial information with respect to the Company, including the cash and bank balances, loans and other debt obligations and hedging and contingencies provisions of the Company as of September 30, 2005 reflecting the best judgment of the Auditors in conformity with generally accepted accounting procedures in Brazil. We also have held discussions with members of the senior management of the Company with respect to its assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company. 

In preparing our Financial Analyses, we have assumed and relied, with the express consent of the Company and without independent verification, on the accuracy, content, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information reviewed by or discussed with us, and we have not assumed, and do not hereby assume, any responsibility to independently verify any of the information or to make an independent verification or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company, nor have we examined the solvency or fair value of the Company under any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.  To this effect, we assume no responsibility or liability with respect to the accuracy, truthfulness, integrity, consistency, or sufficiency of such information, for which the Company is solely and exclusively responsible. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, and have not conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Company.  With your consent, we have assumed that the financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the senior management of the Company, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Company.

Disclaimers

(Continued)

Our Financial Analyses assume a stable macroeconomic scenario for Brazil.  The Financial Analyses and the results therefrom do not purport to reflect the prices at which the Company or its securities could be sold, nor do they take into account any element of value that may arise from the accomplishment or expectation of the proposed Transaction.  You should further note that we are not an accounting firm and we did not provide accounting or audit services in connection with these Financial Analyses.  In addition, because these analyses are based upon forecasts of future financial results, they are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses.  Given, further, that these analyses are intrinsically subject to uncertainties and various events or factors outside the control of the Company and Goldman Sachs, neither Goldman Sachs, nor any of its affiliates and representatives, assume any responsibility or liability if future results differ substantially from the projections presented in the Financial Analyses and make no representation or warranty with respect to such projections.

Our Financial Analyses are necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof.  As a result, the analyses are valid exclusively as of the date hereof as future events and developments may affect their conclusions.  We do not assume any obligation to update, review, revise or revoke the Financial Analyses as a result of any subsequent event or development. With respect to the Financial Analyses, Embraer and its Board of Directors have not authorized us to solicit, nor have we solicited, any indication of interest from third parties to acquire, in whole or in part, any of the Shares. As a result, the results determined in the Financial Analyses do not necessarily correspond to, and should not be construed as representative of, the prices at which any Company could be sold in a third-party acquisition transaction, at which any of the Shares trade on the date hereof or will trade at any future time, or at which the ON shares of Embraer will trade after the Transaction.

The preparation of economic and financial analyses such as those conducted in the preparation of the Financial Analyses is a complex process that involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its conclusions, Goldman Sachs did not attribute any particular weight to any particular factor considered by it; rather, Goldman Sachs made qualitative judgments as to the importance and relevance of all the factors considered therein. Accordingly, Goldman Sachs believes that the Financial Analyses should be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered therein could result in an incomplete and incorrect understanding of the conclusions of the Financial Analyses.  The results presented herein refer solely to the Transactions and do not extend to any other present or future matters or transactions regarding the Company, the economic group to which they belong or to the sector in which they operate.

The Financial Analyses are exclusively addressed to Embraer and do not address the underlying business decision by Embraer to engage in the Transaction and do not constitute a recommendation to the Company and/or the holders of the Shares (including, but not limited to, as to whether any such holder should vote in favor of the Transaction or exercise any appraisal rights or other rights with respect thereto). In addition, the Financial Analyses (i) treat the Company as stand-alone operations and therefore, the Financial Analyses do not include any operational, tax or other benefits or losses, or synergies, incremental value and/or costs for the Company, if any, which may arise from the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) do not address the treatment of the different classes of  Shares, and any adjustments intended to offset, or that may reflect, any specific rights associated with any specific class of Shares. We are therefore not expressing, and the Financial Analyses do not contain, any views relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of Shares.

(Continued)

Goldman Sachs and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with Mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions as well as for estate, corporate and other purposes. We have been engaged by Embraer and we will receive a fee for the services provided by us. Moreover, Embraer has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of our engagement.  We also may provide investment banking services to the Company and its affiliates in the future.  In connection with the above-described services we have received, and may receive, compensation. 

Goldman Sachs is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals.  In the ordinary course of these activities, Goldman Sachs and its affiliates may provide such services to the Company and its affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of the Company and its affiliates for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities. Goldman Sachs does not have a direct or indirect interest in the Transaction, provided however that, in accordance with usual market practice, part of the compensation payable by the Company in connection with the services rendered by Goldman Sachs depends on the implementation of the Transaction. Except as may result from the activities described in the first and second sentences of this paragraph, Goldman Sachs does not have a direct or indirect interest in the Company. Without limiting any other statement set forth herein, to the best of our knowledge, neither the Controlling Shareholders nor the managers of the Company have directed, limited, obstructed or otherwise taken any action that has or could have compromised the access to, or use or knowledge of, information, documents or work methodologies relevant to the quality of the Financial Analyses.

In preparing the Financial Analyses, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we did not take into account (i) the tax consequences of the Transaction for the holders of the Shares, and (ii) the impact of any fees and expenses that may result from the consummation of the Transaction, including, but not limited to, those related to any depositary services that may be charged to the holders of the Company’s ADRs. The financial calculations contained in the Financial Analyses may not always result in a precise sum due to rounding.

Summary of Premium Analyses

Methodology		Description	Implied premium
Discounted Cash Flow Analyses (DCF)	•	The DCF method is utilized to determine the intrinsic value of the company based on its projected cash flows	Implied premium over: 60-day average of ADR price: 1.6% – 24.4%
	•	The DCF analyses treat the Company as a stand-alone operation and therefore do not include any benefits or losses which may arise from the consummation of the Transaction, such as operating benefits, fiscal benefits, synergies etc.
	•	The DCF analyses performed for Embraer were based on forecasts provided by and discussed with its management.  Management projections were expressed in US dollars and based in projections in US GAAP	30-day average of ADR price: (0.9%) – 21.4%
	•	The DCF analyses do not consider the differences among the classes of shares of the Company, and any adjustments intended to offset any specific rights associated with any specific class of shares of the Company.  We are not expressing any views relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of shares of the Company	Current ADR price: (3.1%) – 18.6%
	•	The implied values per ADR were obtained by subtracting the net financial debt and minority interest of Embraer as of September 30, 2005 from the range of the Company’s Enterprise Value, and dividing the result by the number of ADRs outstanding
	•	The range of Enterprise Values was obtained by the sum of (i) the present value of the unlevered free cash flows (operating income less income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, less increases in working capital and less capital expenditures) that Embraer projects to generate from 2005 and 2014, using a range of discount rates between 11.3% and 12.3%; and (ii) the present value of the terminal value of Embraer in 2014 using a perpetuity growth rate between 4.0% and 5.0%.  DCF valuation analyses were performed as of September 30, 2005
	•	The DCF valuation analyses result in an indicative ADR value range between US$39.92 and US$48.87
	•	For more information and details on the DCF valuation analyses, please refer to Section II of this document
Note: Implied premium as of 13-Jan-2005

Summary of Premium Analyses

Methodology		Description	Implied Premium
Analysis of Historical Share Reclassification Transactions	•	We identified and analyzed 17 reclassification transactions of international companies occurring among publicly traded companies from 2000 to 2005	With relinquishment of control: 0.0% – 19.4%
	•	In each reclassification transaction, two classes of stock of a single company with different voting rights were reclassified or combined into a single class of common stock	Without change in control: 0.0% – 8.2%
	•	For each of the companies identified for the reclassification transaction analysis, we determined the premium paid to the high-vote shares or controlling shareholder by dividing the total value that those shares represented after and before the transaction, respectively
	•	In transactions where a payment or a targeted repurchase was made by the company, we added the cash component to the value received by the high-vote shares or controlling shareholder, and adjusted the proforma market capitalization of the company to reflect the cash payment and shares repurchased
	•	The analysis of Share Reclassification Transactions aims at identifying similar precedents to the Transaction and verifies the range of premium historically paid in this kind of transaction
	•	We have divided the universe of selected transactions in two groups: (i) situations in which a controlling shareholder with more than 50% of the votes reduced its voting power to less than 50% after the reclassification, and (ii) situations in which there was no controlling shareholder
	•	Of the transactions examined in the reclassification transaction analysis, 4 transactions involved a controlling shareholder with greater than 50% of the votes reducing its voting power to less than 50%.  The premium paid for the controlling shareholder in these transactions varied from 0.0% to 19.4%, and the average is 7.6%
	•	13 of the transactions analyzed did not involve a change of control.  Of these, 11 transactions had no implied premium to the high-vote shares.  The premium paid for the high-vote shares in these transactions varied from 0.0% to 8.2%, and the average is 1.1%
	•	No company utilized in the analysis of historical reclassification transactions is identical to the Company. In evaluating historical reclassification transactions, we have made judgments and assumptions with regard to, among other things, the capital structure and shareholder base of such companies

Summary of Premium Analyses

Methodology		Description	Implied Premium
Analysis of Multiples of Selected Private Market Transactions in the Aerospace Industry	•	We selected and examined 16 change-of-control transactions in the aerospace and defense industry	Implied premium over: 60-day average of ADR price: (23.2%) – 11.5%
	•	We applied the implied EV/LTM EBITDA1 multiples resulting from those transactions to the LTM EBITDA figures of Embraer and translated the resulting range of per share prices into implied premiums over the 60-day average, 30-day average and current Embraer’s ADR prices as of January 13, 2006
			30-day average of ADR price: (25.0%) – 8.8%
	•	The EV/LTM EBITDA multiple of private change of control transactions is a metric that depends, among other things, on the potential growth of the target company, competition for target (if existent) and potential synergies forecasted by the acquirer
	•	No company utilized in the private market transactions analyses is identical to the Company. In evaluating private market transactions, we have made judgments and assumptions with regard to, among other things, the capital structure and shareholder base of such companies	Current ADR price: (26.8%) – 6.3%
Note: Implied premium as of 13-Jan-2006

Summary of Premium Analyses

Considerations on Control Premium and Implied Exchange Ratio⁴

9

1	DCF valuation range assumes a WACC from 11.3% to 12.3% and a perpetuity growth rate from 4.0% to 5.0%. Premium determined by the comparison of the following share prices as of 13-Jan-06: current (US$41.2), 30-days average (US$40.3) and 60-days average (US$39.3)
2	Based on the range of implied premiums in selected share reclassification transactions
3	Share price based on the range of EV / LTM EBITDA multiples from 9.0x to 13.1x, applied to Embraer’s LTM EBITDA of US$599mm. Assumes net debt (including minority interest) of US$51mm, and 180.5mm shares outstanding. Premium determined by the comparison of the following share prices as of 13-Jan-06: current (US$41.2), 30-days average (US$40.3) and 60-days average (US$39.3)
4	Implied exchange ratio to Control Shares relative to that of Non-control Shares, which results in corresponding premium. Note that, if as a result of the Transaction New Embraer ends up with more than shares than Embraer, a premium of Z% requires an exchange ratio greater than (1+Z/100):1. If p is the premium, y the implied exchange ratio to Control Shares relative to that of Non-control Shares, St the number of total shares of the Company and Sc the number of Control Shares, then y = [(1+p) x (St - Sc)] / [St - (1+p) x Sc)]

10

Control Premium in the Brazilian Corporation Law

• The new Brazilian Corporation Law (Lei 10,303), enacted in 2001, establishes that, in the event of change of control, minority ON (voting) shareholders have the right to receive 80% of the price per share received by controlling shareholders

— In effect, this provision of the Brazilian Corporation Law implies in a control premium of 25% (i.e. 100/80 -1)

— Non-voting (PN) shares have no tag-along rights in the event of change of control

— The acquiring party is obliged to launch a mandatory tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding non-control ON shares within 30 days of the closing of the control acquisition.  Minority ON shareholders have to be offered the same conditions offered to the controlling shareholders

• Companies listed in Bovespa’s “Nível 2” of corporate governance have to extend tag-along at 70% of the price per share paid to the controlling shareholder to all its PN shareholders.  Companies listed in Bovespa’s “Novo Mercado” segment (which allows for ON shares only) must offer a 100% tag-along to all shareholders in the event of change of control

• Prior to 1997, the Brazilian Corporation Law established a 100% tag-along right for ONs and PNs.  That provision was eliminated in order to make privatizations viable, and the 80% tag-along provision for ONs was reintroduced in 2001

II.          Discounted Cash Flow Valuation Analysis

12

Discounted Cash Flow Valuation Analyses

Methodology

• Valuation analyses were performed as of September 30, 2005 based on a projection period from 2005 to 2014.  All projections used for purposes of the valuation of the Company were prepared by the senior management of that company

• Unlevered free cash flows (before financing costs) were projected by the Company in US Dollars and based on financial statements of the Company in US GAAP

• Illustrative enterprise values of each of the Companies were determined by the sum of:

— Net present value indication calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the unlevered free cash flows for the projection period, and

— Net present value indication calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the illustrative terminal value, determined using the perpetuity growth methodology applied to a normalized unlevered free cash flow (capex equal to depreciation and excluding temporary tax benefits)

• The illustrative present value of the unlevered free cash flows was calculated using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) between 11.3% and 12.3%. The perpetuity growth rate for the unlevered free cash flow was between 4.0% and 5.0%

• The equity value indications calculated for the Company were determined by subtracting from the illustrative enterprise value previously calculated the total value of the net debt and minority interest, as set forth in the audited balance sheets as of September 30, 2005

• The indicative equity value indication per share for each of the Company was determined by dividing the equity value indication by the total number of shares outstanding

— Total shares outstanding: 721,832,057

— Control Shares outstanding: 145,527,000

• The valuation analyses result in aggregate equity value indication for the Company and do not allocate value between any classes of shares. No adjustments were made as to potential benefits that may arise from the transaction, such as synergies or tax gains

Cost of Capital Calculation Assumptions

Discount rates used for the purpose of the Discounted Cash Flow Analyses set forth herein are based on the WACC methodology (“Weighted Average Cost of Capital”)

•	Basic WACC formula for emerging countries
•	Cost of debt component: estimation of the expected cost of the company’s marginal financing sources
•	Cost of equity component: estimated by the CAPM (“Capital Asset Pricing Model”)
	—	The opportunity cost of capital is equal to the return of the risk-free bonds plus the company’s systematic risk (beta), multiplied by the market risk premium
	—	Adjustment for the calculation of the country risk, considering the difference between the expected average yield of the Brazilian Global 40 bond (callable in 2015) and the equivalent US Treasury Bond
