Banco Pactual S.A. and BB Banco de Investimento S/A are the comanagers of the Offering (and together with the Local Coordinator, the “Joint Bookrunners”). The Offering is being conducted in accordance with the Brazilian securities laws and regulations and is subject to registration with the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”). Pactual Capital Corporation is offering shares to a limited number of institutional accredited investors in the United States in a non-public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Prospective Investors outside Brazil (including accredited investors located in the United States) who wish to acquire shares must do so by way of the investment mechanisms set forth in National Monetary Council Resolution No. 2,689, dated January 26, 2000 (“Resolution 2,689”). See “Share Purchase Mechanism.” 3 THE PROSPECTUS This Confidential Offering Memorandum supplements the Prospectus dated [date], prepared in connection with the Offering (the “Prospectus”). Prospective investors should read the Prospectus, which has been prepared in accordance with Brazilian requirements. Brazilian disclosure differs in material respects from disclosure usual in U.S. markets. In particular, financial statements are prepared in accordance with Brazilian generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”), which differ from U.S. GAAP. The Prospectus is a free translation from Portuguese. The attachments to the preliminary version of the Prospectus have not been translated into English. Investors should bear this in mind in reviewing the Prospectus. The Portuguese is the definitive version of the Prospectus. U.S. lawyers have not reviewed the Prospectus and will not be giving any opinion with respect to its content. Prospective investors that have questions about the disclosure in the Prospectus should contact the Company’s Investors’ Relations Officer at the address below: Mr. Alidor Lueders Address: Rua Pref. Waldemar Grubba, 3300 Jaraguá do Sul, SC – Brazil Telephone: (5547) 372-4000 Facsimile: (5547) 372-4201 Email: alidor@weg.com.br The information contained in the Prospectus was obtained from the Company and other sources believed by the Company to be reliable, but no assurance can be given as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. The contents of this Confidential Offering Memorandum are not to be construed as legal, business or tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its own attorney, business advisor and tax advisor for legal, business and tax advice. 4 ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS In addition to the risk factors set forth in the Prospectus, prospective investors should take the following into account: Liquidity for the Company’s shares will be in Brazil. To the extent a market develops for the Shares, it will not be in the United States. Any liquidity will be on the São Paulo Stock Exchange. The price of the Shares obtained in U.S. dollars will be affected by the value of the Brazilian Real. Investors that sell their Shares will receive the proceeds of that sale in Brazilian reais. Even if the value of the Shares has increased in terms of reais, the U.S. dollar proceeds will depend upon the performance of the real against the U.S. dollar. Information about the Company will not be provided on an ongoing basis at the same level as in the United States. Although Brazilian companies provide periodic information, it is not typically as extensive as that provided in the United States, and is set out in a different format. Prospective investors should bear in mind the availability of information in the future. Brazilian accounting standards differ from those in the United States. Like all other Brazilian companies, the Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Thus, the items appearing on the financial statements of a company prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil may not reflect its financial position or results of operations in the way they would be reflected had such financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have made no attempt to identify or quantify the impact of those differences. In making an investment decision, investors must rely upon their own examination of the Company, the terms of the offering and the financial information contained in the Offering. Potential investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences between accounting practices adopted in Brazil and U.S. GAAP, and how those differences might effect the financial information presented in the Offering. 5 TAX ISSUES This Preliminary Supplemental Confidential Offering Memorandum does not discuss the U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income tax or other tax consequences that may be relevant to an investor acquiring, holding, and disposing of the preferred shares of the Company. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the specific tax consequences to them of investing in the Company's preferred shares, including the applicable federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them and the effect of possible changes in tax laws. Brazilian Taxation The following discussion summarizes the principal Brazilian tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of preferred shares by a holder that is not domiciled in Brazil and that has registered the investment as a U.S. dollar investment with the Central Bank (a “non-resident holder”). It is based on Brazilian law as currently in effect. Any change in that law may change the consequences described below. The following discussion summarizes the principal tax consequences applicable under Brazilian law to a nonresident holder of preferred shares in general and, therefore, does not specifically address all of the Brazilian tax considerations applicable to any particular non-resident holder. Each non-resident holder should consult its own tax adviser concerning the Brazilian tax consequences of an investment in preferred shares. The tax consequences described below do not take into account tax treaties entered into by Brazil and other countries. Nevertheless, please note that Brazil has not entered into any tax treaty with the United States. Income tax Dividends Dividends paid by a Brazilian corporation, such as our company, including stock dividends and other dividends paid to a non-resident holder of preferred shares, are currently not subject to withholding income tax in Brazil, as far as such amounts are related to profits generated as of January 1, 1996. Interest on Capital Law No. 9,249, dated December 26, 1995, as amended, permits a Brazilian corporation, such as our company, to make distributions to shareholders of interest on capital. These distributions may be paid in cash. This interest is limited to the daily pro rata variation of the TJLP, as determined by the Central Bank from time to time, and may not exceed the greater of: 50% of net income (after social contribution on profits and before corporate income tax, and taking into consideration the deduction of the own interest amount attributable to shareholders) related to the period in respect of which the payment is made; and 50% of the sum of retained profits and profit reserves as of the date of the beginning of the period in respect of which the payment is made. Payment of interest to a non-resident holder is subject to withholding income tax at the rate of 15%, or 25% if the non-resident holder is domiciled in a tax haven — that is, a country or location that does not impose income tax or where the income tax rate is lower than 20% or where the local legislation imposes restrictions on disclosing the shareholding composition or the ownership of the investment (“tax haven residents”). These payments may be included, at their net value, as part of any mandatory dividend. To the extent payment of interest on capital is so included, the corporation is required to distribute to shareholders an additional amount to ensure that the net amount received by them, after payment of the applicable withholding income tax, plus the amount of declared dividends is at least equal to the mandatory dividend. 6 Capital gains Brazilian law distinguishes between, on the one hand, direct foreign investments in Brazilian companies and, on the other hand, foreign investments in securities issued by Brazilian companies through the Brazilian capital markets. Under Resolution of the National Monetary Council No. 2,689, which became effective on March 31, 2000, superseding previous regulations (Annex IV) that restricted such foreign investment portfolios to institutional investors, foreign investors may invest directly in Brazilian financial markets, as long as they meet certain requirements. Gains realized by non-resident holders on the disposition of preferred shares in Brazil or in transactions with Brazilian residents carried out in a stock exchange, if they observe the requirements of Resolution No. 2,689, are exempted from withholding income tax, unless the foreign investor is located in a jurisdiction which does not impose income tax or which has an income tax rate lower than 20%, in which case it will be subject to the same general taxation rules applicable to Brazilian residents (withholding tax at a 20% rate). Any gains realized by a non-resident holders upon the redemption of preferred shares will be treated as gains from the disposition of such preferred shares to a Brazilian resident occurring off of a stock exchange and will accordingly be subject to tax at a rate of 20%, except for gains realized by a non-resident located in a jurisdiction which does not impose income taxes or which has an income tax rate lower than 20%, in which case such gain will be subject to tax at a rate of 25%. Gain is measured by the difference between the amount in Brazilian currency realized on the sale or exchange and the acquisition cost of the shares sold, measured in Brazilian currency without any correction for inflation; the acquisition cost of shares registered as an investment with the Central Bank of Brazil is calculated on the basis of the foreign currency amount registered with the Central Bank of Brazil. There can be no assurance that the current preferential treatment for non-resident holders of preferred shares under Resolution No. 2,689 will be maintained. Any exercise of preemptive rights relating to our preferred shares will not be subject to Brazilian taxation. Gains on the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to our preferred shares will be treated differently for Brazilian tax purposes depending on (a) whether the sale or assignment is made by you, and (b) whether the transaction takes place on a Brazilian stock exchange. Gains on sales or assignments made on a Brazilian stock exchange are not taxed in Brazil, but gains on other sales or assignments may be subject to tax at rates up to 20%. In case of direct foreign investments in Brazil (i.e., investments in Brazil that are not made through Resolution No. 2,689), according to Law No. 10,833 dated December 29, 2003, the gain in the disposition of assets located in Brazil by nonresident holders, whether to other Nonresidents or Brazilian residents and whether made within or outside Brazil, is subject to taxation in Brazil at a rate of 15% or 25%, if the nonresident holder is domiciled in a country that does not tax income or that taxes it at a maximum rate of 20%. Tax on foreign exchange and financial transactions (“IOF Tax”) Foreign exchange transactions Brazilian law imposes a Tax on Foreign Exchange Transactions, or IOF/Exchange Tax, on the conversion of reais into foreign currency and on the conversion of foreign currency into reais. Although the current applicable rate for almost all foreign currency exchange transactions is zero, the Ministry of Finance is permitted to increase the rate at any time up to 25%. However, any increase in rates may only apply to future transactions. 7 Tax on transactions involving bonds and securities Brazilian law imposes a Tax on Transactions Involving Bonds and Securities, or IOF/Bonds Tax, due on transactions involving bonds and securities, including those carried out on a Brazilian stock exchange. The rate of IOF applicable to transactions involving stocks is currently zero, although the Minister of Finance is permitted to increase such rate at any time up to 1.5% per day, but only in respect of future transactions. Temporary contribution on financial transactions (“CPMF Tax”) Any transaction carried out by a holder of securities in Brazil that results in the transfer of reais from an account maintained by such holder (or its custodian) with a Brazilian financial institution is subject to the CPMF tax at the rate of 0.38%. The CPMF will be in effect until December 31, 2007. Currently, the funds transferred for the acquisition of shares on BOVESPA are exempted from the CPMF Tax. On the other hand, when a non-resident remits abroad the proceeds earned from the disposition of stocks in Brazil by means of a currency exchange transaction, the CPMF tax is imposed on the amount in reais to be remitted abroad. When applicable, the CPMF tax must be withheld from the amounts transferred from such account and must be collected in favor of the Brazilian government by the financial institution that carries out the relevant financial transaction. Other Brazilian taxes There are no Brazilian inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of stocks, except for gift and inheritance taxes imposed by some Brazilian states on gifts or bequests by individuals or entities not domiciled or residing in Brazil to individuals or entities domiciled or residing within such states. There are no Brazilian stamp, issue, registration, or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of shares. 8 SHARE PURCHASE MECHANISM Investors residing outside Brazil, including institutional investors, are authorized to purchase equity instruments, including the Shares on the BOVESPA, provided that they comply with the registration requirements set forth in Resolution No. 2,689 and Instruction CVM No. 325. With certain limited exceptions, Resolution 2,689 investors are permitted to carry out any type of transaction in the Brazilian financial capital market involving a security traded on a stock, future, or organized over-thecounter market. Investments and remittances outside Brazil of gains, dividends, profits, or other payments under the shares are made through the commercial rate exchange market. In order to become a Resolution 2,689 investor, an investor residing outside Brazil must: • appoint a representative in Brazil with powers to take actions relating to the investment; • appoint an authorized custodian in Brazil for the investments, which must be a financial institution duly authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM; and • through its representative, register itself as a foreign investor with the CVM and the investment with the Central Bank of Brazil. 9 NOTICE TO INVESTORS The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and they may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account of, U.S. Persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Very truly yours, [INVESTOR] ________________________________ By: Name: Title: 12 EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION There are two legal foreign exchange markets in Brazil: the commercial rate exchange market; and the floating rate exchange market. Each of these markets is separately regulated. Most trade and financial foreign-exchange transactions are carried out on the commercial rate exchange market. These transactions include the purchase and sale of ordinary shares and the payment of dividends and other distributions with respect to them. Foreign currencies may be purchased only through a Brazilian bank authorized to operate in these markets. In 1999, the Brazilian government unified operational limits imposed on Brazilian banks with respect to both markets, which caused a reduction in the difference between their respective rates. In both markets, rates are still freely negotiated but may be strongly influenced by Central Bank intervention. From March 1995 through January 1999, the Central Bank allowed the gradual devaluation of the real against the U.S. dollar under an exchange rate policy that established a band within which the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate could fluctuate. Responding to pressure on the real, on January 13, 1999, the Central Bank widened the foreign exchange rate band. Because the pressure did not ease, on January 15, 1999, the Central Bank abolished the band system and allowed the real to float freely. Since the beginning of 2001, the Brazilian exchange market has been increasingly volatile, and, until early 2003, the value of the real declined relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily due to financial and political instability in Brazil and Argentina. Although the Central Bank has intervened occasionally to control unstable movements in the foreign exchange rates, the exchange market may continue to be volatile as a result of this instability or other factors, and, therefore, the real may substantially decline or appreciate in value in relation to the U.S. dollar in the future. The tables below show the commercial selling rates in reais for U.S. dollars for the periods indicated, as published by the Central Bank.

All of our directors and officers named in this offering memorandum reside in Brazil. Substantially all our assets and those of these other persons are located in Brazil. As a result, you may not be able to effect service of process upon us or these other persons within the United States or to enforce against us or these other persons judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. Judgments of United States courts for civil liabilities based on the federal securities laws of the United States may, subject to the requirements described below, be enforced in Brazil. A judgment obtained outside Brazil against us or our directors and officers named in this offering memorandum will be enforceable in Brazil without reconsideration of the merits upon confirmation of that judgment by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court. That confirmation will occur if the foreign judgment: fulfills all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the country where the foreign judgment is granted; is for a payment of a certain sum of money; is issued by a competent court after proper service of process is made or after sufficient evidence of the party’s absence has been given in accordance with Brazilian law; is not subject to appeal; is authenticated by a Brazilian consular office in the country where the foreign judgment is issued and is accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese; and is not contrary to Brazilian national sovereignty, public policy or public morality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cannot assure you that confirmation will be obtained, that the process described above will be conducted in a timely manner or that Brazilian courts will enforce a monetary judgment for violation of the U.S. securities laws with respect to our preferred shares. In addition: original actions based on the federal securities laws of the United States may be brought in Brazilian courts and, subject to applicable law, Brazilian courts may enforce liabilities in such actions against us, our directors and our executive officers named in this offering memorandum; and the ability of a judgment creditor to satisfy a judgment by attaching certain assets of ours is limited by provisions of Brazilian law. A plaintiff, whether Brazilian or non-Brazilian, who resides outside Brazil during the course of litigation in Brazil must provide a bond to guarantee court costs and legal fees if the plaintiff owns no real property in Brazil that could secure that payment. The bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of court fees and the defendant’s attorneys’ fees, as determined by a Brazilian judge. 14 Private and Strictly Confidential PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS Subject to completion, dated August __th, 2004 40,786,131 Preferred Shares Offer Price R$ _____per Preferred Share WEG S/A A company organized under the laws of Brazil The Offerors are offering, to the public in Brazil and to a limited number of institutional accredited investors in the United States and elsewhere, a total of 40,786,131 preferred shares of WEG S/A (the “Company”), a sociedade por ações organized under the laws of Brazil.

Though our business units are considered for a number of reasons as independent companies, with their own management, personnel, and structure, each one generates great synergies with the others, enabling us to offer a progressively more comprehensive package of products, services, and solutions to our customers. This type of organization is a result of our culture of continuously investing in business and activities that add synergies to the existing businesses. Gross Operating Revenues for 2003 Weg Máquinas 12% Weg Acionamentos 6% Weg Motores 56% R$ 2.015 billion 13% Weg Automação 7% 6% Weg Transformadores Weg Química WEG Motores Weg Motores is our largest business unit.

Our Argentine subsidiary had revenues of approximately US$ 25 million in 2003. Our factory in Mexico produces low-voltage electric motors (up to 100 HP) for use in industrial machinery and equipment. We are making capital outlays of about US$ 15 million to modernize and increase capacity. Our revenues in Mexico were approximately US 35 million in 2003. Our factory in Portugal, acquired in May 2002, produces electric motors with output above 50 HP, made to order for capital goods industries, steel mills, pulp and paper mills and others.. The company serves the entire European preferred market and had revenues of approximately US# 9 million in 2003. Key Strategies Our goals for the coming years are: (i) to become the largest world manufacturer of lowtension industrial electric motors; (ii) to lead in Brazil and become a benchmark in the international market for high-tension, motors, generators, drives, and small motors; (iii) to become the Latin American benchmark for transformers and low-tension electrical equipment; (iv) to become the Mercosul benchmark for industrial electronic systems for power generation; and (v) to lead the Brazilian market for electrical isolating material and industrial paints. In order to meet these goals our key strategies will be: • Internationalization. Intensify our internationalization process by means of: (a) broadening our relations with our partners in those countries where we have representatives or distributors; (b) open new branches and establish new partnerships in those countries where we are not present; and (c) build or purchase new industrial plants overseas, with priority to strategic markets with good growth prospects, such as in Asia or eastern Europe. • Intensification of Synergies. Provide an ever-growing amount of products and services to our international customers and obtain more and more significant market shares in each of the fields in which we are present, taking advantage of the existing sales structure (representatives, distributors, and overseas subsidiaries). Intensify integrated sales of goods and services. • Strengthen the Weg Brand in Brazil and Overseas. Strengthen (a) direct action with leading consumers and major engineering companies; (b) relationship marketing in the search for customer loyalty; and (c) our image as suppliers of a broad product line, of electro-electronic systems and paints. 14 • Continuous Technological Innovation. Maintain programs for technological innovation, working with our own research teams and through cooperation agreements with the most well known Brazilian and overseas universities. Intensify programs for standardizing products and processes. • Creation of New Businesses. We intend to create a new business unit oriented towards providing corrective and anticipated maintenance services for electric industrial machinery and transformers. Besides being a new source of income, we believe that the sale of maintenance services will add value to our products. • Greater Presence in Systems Automation and Electricity Generation and Transmission. Growth and strengthening of our performance as suppliers of industrial solutions for automation of systems and of electricity generation and energy transmission, and of equipment for small hydro-electric plants (PCH) and small thermo-electric plants (PCT). Our Strong Points We believe that our main strong points as listed below afford us competitive advantages that allow us to meet our strategic objectives. • The Ability to Generate Cash and a Consistent Financial Condition. The WEG Group has always had a great ability to generate cash, allowing for constant modernization and expansion of its manufacturing facilities and the pursuit of acquisitions, with low financial leverage. Our EBITDA for the last five years has been kept above 25% on average. Our operating revenue has been growing consistently, even in periods of economic crisis and stagnation in Brazil and abroad. Over the past 5 years, our operating revenues have grown on average by 26% a year. • Verticalization: Control over the Key Stages of the Production Process and Marketing of Products. We have adopted a highly integrated business model and produce various goods and services within our group of companies, employed in the development of our core activities. During periods of expanding activities verticalization contributes towards high operating efficiency at a low cost, with the large-scale and customized production of our goods. • Large, Modern, and Growing Industrial Facilities. We believe our electric motor industrial facilities to be the largest in the world in this production segment and one of the most modern. The industrial unit at Jaraguá do Sul covers a constructed area of roughly 800 thousand m2, with a production capacity of over 25,000 different kinds of electric motors. This structure permits us to develop products according to the needs and specifications of each customer with great agility. Our production volume affords us the gains in scale required to face up to our global competitors, and barring the entry of new ones. In 2003 we produced over 9 million electric motors. Despite our great production capacity, we continue investing substantially in modernization and expansion our manufacturing facilities. These investments have been in the region of R$ 73 million on average per annum, during the last five years. Currently idle capacity in our units is approximately 10%, considering the present production arrangement of two shifts followed at nearly all our factories. 15 • Product Diversification Reduces the Risk of Concentration. We are engaged in several product lines for different market segments. Diversification eliminates our dependence on a specific market segment, thus reducing the risk of over-concentration. Besides this, each or our product lines has great synergy with the others, which enables: (i) sharing of knowledge; (ii) joint use of our production and sales structure; and (iii) integrated sale of products and services. • A Global Action Company. Our products can be found in about 100 countries of five continents. We have companies with manufacturing units in Argentina, Mexico, and Portugal, and subsidiaries for marketing and distribution of our products in 14 other countries. (main markets). Besides these, we also export directly from Brazil, and in 2003 roughly 39% of our operating revenues were derived from export and overseas sales. Our export activity and global presence permits us to generate revenues in strong currencies (United States dollars and Euros), which reduces our exposure to depreciation of Brazilian currency. • Product Quality and Leadership of the Brazilian Markets. We believe we use the most modern tools, processes, and quality control procedures. Our products are certified in Brazil and overseas by renowned government bodies and independent laboratories. Besides consolidated leadership of the Brazilian market for electric motors, we believe we are positioned among the largest domestic makers of all lines of products we manufacture. • Trained and Motivated Staff. Our human resources are among the most important factors in our competitiveness. We invested around 1% of our gross revenue in 2003 in various training and development programs for our employees in Brazil and abroad. The WEG Quality and Productivity Program – PWQP, created in 1991, is the instrument through which we define together with our staff the goals for each year. Achieving these goals serves as a calculation basis for profit sharing. In 2003 we distributed R$ 45 million among our staff as profit sharing, an average of 3.7 extra salaries to each employee. We also granted benefits such as medical and dental assistance, nursery, transportation and investments in social activities, totaling R$ 9.6 million in 2003. • Technological Innovation and Development. We invest an average of 3% of our annual net revenues in research of new technologies and improvements to our industrial processes and product development. Large savings were possible over the last few years through the optimization of our industrial processes and reduction of production costs. We maintain a technology committee with members from the most renowned Brazilian and foreign universities, whose purpose is to keep abreast of trends in world electroelectronic technologies for industrial use. 16 INFORMATION AND EXPLANATIONS Additional copies of this Prospectus may be obtained at Company headquarters, with Bradesco, and also in the Company and CVM world computer network pages.

In its 195 years or existence, Banco do Brasil has stood out for its capacity to serve segments of the financial market with a range of business products, services and solutions, without ignoring its social role of supplying programs, projects and incentives to strengthen the authentic values of Brazilian society. Banco do Brasil is currently organized as a full-service bank. The Banco do Brasil currently consists of 14 companies. Pactual Pactual was founded in 1983 as a securities distributorship. It is currently a full-service bank organized as a private corporation, having a net worth of R$575.6 million and manages assets in the region of R$21 billion (December 31, 2003). Pactual’s main focus resides in the fields of research, corporate finance, capital markets, private banking, treasury transactions, medium and long-term investments, and sales & trading. It is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and has offices in the cities of São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, and Recife, besides a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands. Pactual is one of the few independent investment banks, of predominantly Brazilian capital and focused on the domestic market. Pactual is an active participant in underwriting and distribution activities, involving debt and stock offerings on behalf of Brazilian corporations in the capital markets. Its strong points in distribution originate from its broad access and service provision to a number of local and overseas investment groups, which are acting whether in fixed or variable income. Pactual advised customers with regard to funding through the local market in 2003, in debenture and commercial paper transactions totaling roughly R$2.4 billion. Among the most expressive ones are the R$900 million debenture issue on behalf of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional and the R$200 million issue on behalf of Lojas Americanas, in which Pactual acted as Leading Coordinator. Pactual has been closely participating in origination and distribution in variable yield operations. In 2004, it participated as coordinator of initial and secondary public offerings of Natura S/A and primary distribution of CCR – Companhia de Concessões Rodoviárias. 20 RISK FACTORS Before making an investment decision, potential investors should consider all the information available in this Prospectus, particularly the risks described below. Our Company is a holding company with direct or indirect control of the WEG Group of companies that produce and market WEG products in the domestic and international markets. Almost all of our revenues originate from our interests in the equity of our subsidiaries. Hence, our operating profits and financial condition are directly related to the performance of these companies. In this section, references to “we” or “our” should be understood as a reference to our Company and the respective direct and indirect subsidiaries. RISKS RELATING TO BRAZIL The Brazilian government has a significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian economic and political conditions have a direct impact on our business, activities, and the market price for our shares. The Brazilian government frequently intervenes in the country’s economy, in monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies. Measures taken by government in order to stabilize the economy and control inflation have in the past included freezing of bank accounts, price and wage controls, currency devaluations, capital controls, increase in the economy’s basic interest rate, increase in the banking system’s reserve requirements, and limits on imports, among others. Our business, operating profits, and financial conditions may be adversely affected by changes in government policies, as well as general economic factors, including without limitation: • Fluctuations in exchange rate; • domestic economic conditions; • social instability; • interest rates; • inflation; • price instability; • tax policies; and • other political, diplomatic, social, and economic developments in or affecting Brazil. 21 Brazilian government measures in favor of a stable economy, coupled with speculation with regard to future government action, may generate uncertainties with respect to the Brazilian economy and greater volatility in the domestic capital market. This may adversely affect our business, activities, and financial condition, as well as the market price for our preferred shares. Inflation and certain government measures to curb inflation may have adversely effects on the Brazilian economy and our operating results. Brazil has historically experienced extremely high rates of inflation. Inflation and the Brazilian government’s measures taken in an attempt to curb inflation have significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. The Brazilian government implemented the Plano Real in 1994 with a view to reducing inflation and building a base for sustainable economic growth. . On June 30, 1999, the National Monetary Council adopted the inflation target system, (measured according to the IPCA index) as a guideline to monetary policy. With the exception of 2000, the Federal Government has been unable to comply with the targets initially determined, for the four-year period from 2000 to 2003. On June 25, 2003, the National Monetary Council determined as targets 5.5% and 4.5% variation in the IPCA index for the years 2004 and 2005, with a of tolerance of 2.5 percentage points above and below these targets. The inflation targets for 2004 and 2005 may not be achieved. The measures that the Federal Government may adopt in order to adapt to the established inflation targets, or to those to be defined in the future, may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy, affecting us as a consequence. Should inflation rates increase considerably, we may be unable to fully compensate the inflation in the final price of our products. An increase in our overheads arising from inflation and compounded by the lack of compensation of such an increase in the final price of our products may jeopardize our margins, adversely affecting our business, operating profits, and financial condition. The variation of the real in relation to the US dollar or Euro may have adverse effects on our operating profits and financial condition. During the last decades the Brazilian Government devised a number of economic plans and foreign exchange policies. Implementation measures for these policies and plans have included devaluations of the domestic currency, foreign exchange controls, the creation of two exchange markets, and a floating rate system, with an end result of large fluctuations in the exchange rates of the real in relation to the US dollar and other strong currencies. As of fiscal year end December 31, 2003, approximately 39% of our gross operating revenues originated from the sales of our products to overseas markets, mainly to countries in North America and Europe. Our growth strategy includes, among others, the increasing participation of foreign currencies in our revenues. 22 Volatility of local currency in relation to strong currencies may jeopardize our competitiveness in international markets, as well as our internationalization plans, with adverse effects on our business, operating profits, and financial condition. Our results may be affected by domestic currency devaluation, as we carry indebtedness in foreign currency (mainly US dollars debt) tied to the foreign exchange rate. On June 30, 2004, we owed R$ 527.5 million (considering the commercial rate for sale of US dollars (PTAX) of R$ 3.1075 per US$ 1.00), which corresponds to approximately 65.5% of our total indebtedness. Additionally, the capital loss due to exchange rate variation on investments our Company holds in its subsidiaries abroad can affect our results. External events such as the deterioration of economic conditions in the emerging economies or the increase in the US base rate may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy and the price for our shares. The market for securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil and, to varying degrees, market conditions in other Latin American and emerging market countries. Economic crises in emerging countries, such as Mexico and Argentina, have had a significant effect on the level or foreign investor confidence in the Brazilian economy. These crises were followed by considerable outflows of funds, local currency devaluations in relation to the US dollar, generation of inflationary pressures and declines in the volume of foreign currency invested in Brazil. New economic crises in the emerging markets may once more affect the Brazilian economy in the future. An increase in the US base rate may also cause an expressive portion of foreign investments currently allocated in emerging countries to be directed at investments in the United States. In this case, it is likely that the Brazilian economy might witness another capital outflow, together with loss of creditworthiness and investments. Moreover, factors such as a marked slow-down in the growth of the Chinese economy, weak performance of the US economy, and a hike in international oil prices, may adversely influence the international economic situation, reflecting on global demand for commodities, a major component in the aggregate of Brazilian exports. These include steel, and soybeans, which may be subject to a decline in price in international markets. Should these international events take place, they may have material adverse effects on the Brazilian economy and, as a result, in the operating profits and financial condition of domestic corporations, exerting a negative influence on the price of securities issued by these corporations, including the price of the preferred shares issued by our Company. Military actions consequent to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in the Unites States of America may exert adverse and unpredictable effects on the global economy and capital and financial markets, a well as on the price for our shares. 23 Military action consequent to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in the Unites States of America, including the escalation of hostilities, may cause uncertainties and volatility in the US and international financial and capital markets. It is impossible to estimate the future effects of these events on the economy and international financial and capital markets. It is also not possible to estimate the future effects of these events on the perception of investors as to investment risks in the shares of corporations located in the emerging markets or in investing in shares generally. Foreign Market Exposure Out international profile as a strong exporter has been growing since the start of the 1990s, when we began building our network of subsidiary companies and partnerships abroad. Since then, the importance of international markets to our total sales has grown continuously, until reaching 39% of our total gross revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003. Because of the above facts, our sales have come to depend not only on the performance of the Brazilian economy, but also on that of the economies of other countries in which we operate and that represent important markets for our products. Hence, for example, an economic slump in the North America or Europe, markets that represented, respectively, 40% and 29% of our foreign sales for the year ended December 31, 2003, can reduce demand for our products in these markets, adversely affecting our operating income and financial condition. Interest rate instability may adversely affect the business and financial condition of the WEG Group. Interest rates are utilized by the Brazilian Central Bank as an instrument for carrying out monetary policies. Interest rate variations reflect directly on economic activity in every sector of the economy. During recent months the trend has been a gradual decline in interest rates in Brazil. Government and market expectations in general point to a slow and gradual decrease in the ensuing months. Nevertheless, inflationary pressures in the domestic scenario or a possible increase in the US base rate may induce the Brazilian Central Bank to cease or even reverse this downward trend in the Brazilian economy’s basic interest rate. A rise in interest rates in Brazil may be followed immediately by increasing costs in indebtedness to Brazilian corporations and a slow-down in economic activity. Both of these outcomes may adversely affect our operating profits and financial condition, in view of the fact that a large portion of our financial obligations is on a floating interest rate basis. An electricity crisis may have adverse effects on our operating profits and financial condition. Brazil has undergone a serious electricity shortage during 2001, largely owing to an accentuated and extended dry spell that affected hydroelectric power generation and also because of lack of investments in this area. In May 2001 the Federal Government announced measures intended to reduce electricity consumption by an average 20% in several of Brazil’s regions, including those where we have industrial facilities and operations. 24 A new crisis in the supply of electricity may result in a decline or even a halt in production in our manufacturing units in Brazil, with adverse effects on our operating profits and financial condition. Moreover, the durable consumer goods industry, which represented 21% of our gross operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, suffered a significant retraction as a consequence of electricity rationing in 2001. A new electricity crisis in Brazil may once more affect our revenues derived from this market in the future. RISKS RELATED MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY Performance by the consumer durables sector is greatly influenced by fluctuations in the level of economic activity. Performance by the consumer durables sector, such as household appliances and small equipment in general, is greatly influenced economic performance. The consumer durables sector totaled R$ 423 million or 21% of our total revenues at the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2003. Variations in the Brazilian economy may exert a negative influence on the performance of the consumer durables sector in general, and as a result on our operating profits and financial condition. Performance by the capital goods sector is greatly influenced by the level of investments carried out in the country and by the availability of long-term credit lines. Performance by the capital goods sector in general and of machinery and heavy equipment in particular, is influenced significantly by the level of investments in the country, by private enterprise as well as by government. Because of the very nature of these high added-value goods, this activity also depends on long-term credit made available by private and public, domestic and international financial institutions and multilateral entities. The capital goods sector is usually one of the first to be affected by economic crises, and one of the last to react under a recovery of economic activity. The decline in investments in the country and the absence of long-term credit may adversely affect the domestic economy and jeopardize our operating profits and financial condition. The main raw materials employed by machinery and equipment manufacturers are international commodities. A commodity price increase in international markets may affect sales in this area as a whole and more specifically, our sales. The main raw materials used by machinery and equipment manufacturers are international commodities, such as copper and steel slabs. These commodities may represent as much as 40% of the final cost of some of our products. When overseas markets are more favorable, domestic manufacturers of these commodities may direct all or part of their production to the international market, which may cause price increases for these commodities and raise our production costs, with adverse effects on our operating profits and financial condition. 25 RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY We are present in highly competitive markets. Many of the markets where we are present are highly competitive. Our main competitors are international groups with a global presence, technical skills, well known trade names in Brazil and overseas, and with access to the financial and capital markets at lower costs and longer tenors than those available to ourselves. In the market activity of our electric motors unit (Weg Motores), responsible for roughly 56% of our operating revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003, we are faced with competition in domestic and international markets by traditional manufacturers such as GE, Siemens, Toshiba, and ABB. In our industrial automation unit (Weg Automação), which represented 13% of our operating revenues that same year, we have competitors such as ABB, Siemens, Danfoss Corporation, Alen-Bradley, and Telemecanique. In the activity undertaken by our machinery unit (Weg Máquinas), which accounted for 12% of our operating revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003, Gevisa, ABB, Siemens, GE, Toshiba, Trafo Eq. Elétricos, and Alstom are also present. In recent years many of these competitors reduced their activities or closed down in Brazil. However, they continue to present us with intense competition in the international market and in the future may resume their intense activities in Brazil. Besides the traditional competitors, Asian manufacturers may also face us with competition. These producers have available extremely cheap labor costs, reduced operating costs and a favorable exchange for exports. Hence, Asian countries in general and China in particular may very quickly develop production technology in the scale required to compete with us in the domestic and global markets for electric motors. A part of our revenues originates from the commercialization of our products in what are considered emerging countries. Political events and institutional crises in these countries may have adverse effects on our financial results. In the year ended December 31, 2003, approximately 37% of our exports were destined to emerging economies, including Latin American, Asian and African countries. We are also directly present in some of these countries, through subsidiaries that own local factories and distribution and commercialization units. Exporting to these emerging nations and operating factories, distribution and marketing units in these countries exposes us to the risks inherent to doing business in these countries. These risks include as the case may be: • expropriation and nationalization of assets; • political and economic instability; • social unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, wars and armed conflicts; 26 • inflation; • foreign exchange fluctuations, currency devaluations, and restrictions on the conversion of currency; • confiscation and other adverse fiscal policies; • government measures that may limit or change markets, restrict payments or limit receipts or transfers of funds; and • government measures liable to result in direct or indirect losses of rights. Political events and institutional crisis in these countries may adversely affect our business activities and operating income and as a consequence, the market price for our preferred shares. Our industrial automation activities depend on quality technology in order to develop and carry out highly complex projects. The industrial automation activity is subject to rapid and constant advances in technology. Our positive results in this area depend on our ability to continue developing improvements in our products and offering our customers innovative solutions that reflect the rapid changes in technical standards and market expectations in general. If we should be unable to predict and develop technical improvements, or adapt our products to new technical standards, we may suffer relevant adverse effects in our automation business, in our operating profits, and in our financial condition. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, our sales in this area totaled R$ 250 million, i.e., 13% of total invoicing; a 42% increase in relation to the previous year. We may be unable to obtain or develop new technologies within the required time span and in the volumes needed to be competitive in this market in the future, which might negatively affect our results and financial condition. We may be unable to implement our growth strategy. We believe that we are in the forefront of the Brazilian market for electric motors, with a market share of over 75% in some areas. This position makes sales growth difficult by increasing market share and implies that our sales growth in the Brazilian market should depend almost solely on expansion of the domestic economy. If we wish to continue growing, we will have to win over new markets in product lines and activities in which we occupy a small share, which will require: • maintenance of exchange rates at levels favorable to exports; • government investments in infra-structure in order to encourage growth and shipping of Brazilian exports; 27 • our ability to face existing competition in the international markets and to win over new customers in these markets; and • absence of import barriers and restrictions in those countries to which we export or are likely to export our products (we currently face entry restrictions to our products, in different scales, in India, Mexico, South Africa, Colombia, Peru, and some Andean countries). One or more of these factors may be unfavorable to our future growth, and consequently to the price of our preferred shares. We have a highly vertical production structure. We produce ourselves, as a matter of principle, many of the products and services we use to carry out our main activities. For example: • we produce the casings and covers for our electric motors in our own foundry; • we produce copper wire for electric motors, generators, and transformers, in our wire production line; • we produce molds, tools and machines, besides other stamped products, in our tool division; and • for customized packaging, we have reforestation areas, saw mills, and a packaging division for this purpose Verticalization implies in that activities not directly connected to manufacturing our products will represent an additional and significant portion in the overhead structure. In a recession this integrated structure may become a burden and adversely affect our margins, and consequently our operating profits and financial condition. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, our overheads represented roughly 16% of our total costs. We are subject to operating risks and risks related to the use of our products. Our industrial facilities may be adversely affected by natural disasters, unfavorable climate, operating errors, damage to property and equipment, and environmental damage. Discontinuance of business owing to strikes, slow-downs in services, or delays in deliveries of materials and raw materials, may cause the loss of earnings and relevant losses to the manufacturing companies in general, and to ourselves in particular. In addition, by virtue of their nature and use, electric motors and other products carry an inherent and significant risk of civil liability for damages to third parties. For example, our high-tension electric motors are used on offshore oil platforms and large steel mill production lines. A fault in the working of these motors may cause expressive losses to our customers and the respective obligation to indemnify the damages caused. On the other 28 hand, our low-tension electric motors are used by large manufacturers of consumer durables, such as Brastemp and Eletrolux, for assembling household appliances in general. Any personal or property damage caused to the purchasers of these appliances related to malfunction of the electric motor assembled into the appliance may create an obligation by us to indemnify the damages caused. Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to reimburse possible losses. Our insurance policies cover: (i) certain named risks, such as fire, explosion, lightening strike and other events of the same nature, lost profits related to our chemical plant, aircraft crashes, electrical damages, falling machinery, brush fires in rural areas, among others; (ii) general civil liability; (iii) products; (iv) international transportation; (v) domestic transportation; and (vi) vehicle fleet. Our insurance policies may be insufficient to reimburse of possible losses. The occurrence of accidents which exceeds the amount insured or are not coved by the insurance policies may give rise to unexpected additional and significant costs to the companies of our Group affecting therefore the financial results and financial condition. We are indirectly controlled by a small group of persons whose interests may prevail over the interests of the other shareholders. On June 30, 2004, 96.9% of our voting capital was in the hands of WEG Participações, which in its turn is controlled by a small group of persons related to the founders of our Group. Hence, these persons have enough power to approve or reject any subject, which by law or according to our Bylaws should be submitted to the shareholders’ decision, including: • the election or removal of the larger part of the board of directors; • the dividend payment policy; • the establishment of guidelines and business strategies; and • the approval of mergers, spin-offs, absorption, and sale of a part or the whole of our assets. We are subject to rigorous environmental requirements and restrictions. We are subject to rigorous environmental protection laws and regulations in the several locations where we operate. For example, the implementation of the second phase of our manufacturing park at the city of Jaraguá do Sul required a rigorous environmental study. Furthermore, our factories’ waste production is subject to rigorous polluting waste disposal rules and procedures. Non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations result in the obligation of repairing caused damages, as well as the application of administrative, civil and criminal sanctions (including retroactively). Infringement of any environment law or regulation or contractual obligation may adversely affect our operating income and financial conditions. 29 Furthermore, changes in environmental legislation or regulations may bring about increased expenses in complying with them, reducing the amount of available funds for paying expenses, making investments and developing other activities. This eventual decrease in funds may adversely affect our activities, operating income and financial condition. We are subject to risks associated with lawsuits. We are a party to several civil, environmental, labor and tax lawsuits, arising from the regular course of our business. These proceedings represented, as a whole, on June 30, 2004, an approximately R$ 138.5 million-contingency, of which roughly R$ 120 million has been accrued. In case some or several of these judicial contingencies become current liabilities and involve significant amounts, our operating income and financial condition may be negatively affected. We are subject to risks associated with our logistical and transportation structures. A major part of our customers is far from our production and distribution centers. In order to have our products reach our local and international customers, we use the Brazilian highway and harbor modals. Export flows out through the São Francisco do Sul and Itajaí (SC) harbors, which are located 60 km and 90 km, respectively, away from our manufacturing park in Jaraguá do Sul. Transportation infrastructure in Brazil currently faces several problems, which include, among others, lack of investments in the growth and modernization of the harbor structure, high harbor labor cost, saturation of existing harbors, and the precarious conservation situation of Brazilian highways and truck fleets. Moreover, Brazilian producers and exporters point out as obstacles to be overcome constant strikes and stoppages by civil servants and private entities linked to the transportation sector. These and other factors linked to the Brazilian transportation infrastructure may influence our ability to export our production, adversely affecting our operating income and financial condition. The holding company condition may limit our ability to pay dividends. Being a holding company, our assets are only shares issued by WEG Indústrias, WEG Exportadora and Perdigão S.A., besides resources held in financial investments. We do not conduct any operating activities. Nearly all our revenues come from our subsidiaries. Consequently, the ability to pay dividends solely depends on receiving dividends and other cash flows from our subsidiaries. Our result can be affected by that of Perdigão S.A. Our equity accounting income comes from our holing of 1,566,862 common shares, representing 10.1% of the voting capital, and 1,768,172 preferred shares, representing 6.1% of the preferred shares of Perdigão S.A, totaling 7.4% of the total capital of this company. The income and ability to pay dividends of our Company may be negatively affected by Perdigão S.A’s performance. 30 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OFFERING AND SHARES Our Company’s preferred shares have low liquidity on the secondary market, which could hinder their sale or lower their price. The total number of outstanding shares issued by our Company, on June 30, 2004, was 218,015,579 shares, 8,788,570 being common shares, representing 3.05% of the total common shares, and 209,227,009 preferred shares, representing 63.41% of the total preferred shares, and 35.28% of the total capital stock. In the past 12 months (July 2003 to June 2004) on the average, 336 operations per month were carried out with our preferred shares (normal trading unit of 100 shares) on BOVESPA’s (São Paulo Stock Exchange) secondary market, totaling an average monthly traded volume of R$ 8,598,519.00. Thus, our Company’s preferred shares are considered to have low liquidity on the secondary market. Our Company’s shares may not have liquidity on the secondary market. In this case, our preferred shareholders may face difficulties in selling them, or may have to do so at a price significantly below the acquisition price. The actual sale, or sale expectation, of a substantial number of shares issued by our Company may reduce these shares’ trading price; the investor may not be able to sell his preferred shares for thee price paid for them or a higher price. The actual sale, or sale expectation, of a significant number of shares issued by our Company, after realization of the Offering, may decrease the trading price of the preferred shares. After the Offering conclusion, there will be roughly 219,586,009 outstanding preferred shares, representing 35.5% of our Company’s share capital stock, in case the Option of the Additional Shares is exercised fully. Our Controlling Shareholder, WEG Participações, is not subject to any contractual obligations or other restrictions regarding future sales of our Company’s preferred shares. As a result of issuing or selling shares, by WEG Participações or other existing shareholders, the preferred stock market price and, consequently, that of the Shares, may go down appreciably. In this case, preferred shareholders may not be able to sell shares previously bought for a higher or equal price to the one paid for these shares. Our dividend distribution policy may be changed. Our current policy of dividend distribution and payment of interest on shareholders’ equity and the history of our dividend payment do not represent an assurance that we will allocate dividends in the future. Our Executive Board may change, at any time, by simple majority vote by its members, the dividend allocation policy. Our Company’s shareholders may have their interest in our capital stock decreased in case they do not subscribe shares in our future capital increases. Our shareholders may have their interest in our capital stock decreased in case they do not subscribe shares in future capital increases that we may realize. 31 Information about Our Group. The diversity of products and local and international manufacturers, besides the lack of upto-date research and information in the public domain of the market segments in which our Company operates makes it difficult to determine the market share of our own Company, much less that of its competitors. For this reason, the expressions “we believe” and “we are” used in this Prospectus, regarding (i) our Company’s market share; (ii) our Company’s performance in comparison with that of competitors; and (iii) the size of our manufacturing installations and output capacity in relation to that of our competitors must be understood as our best estimate, formulated in good faith and based on the available information in the market, and do not imply a guarantee of the accuracy of this information. 32 INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FUTURE This Prospectus contains information about our future outlook reflecting the opinions of the administrators of our Group regarding future events and that, as in any economic activity, involve risks and uncertainties. Future performance may not be consistent with this information. Future events may substantially differ from the trends indicated in this document, depending on several factors discussed in this section and other sections of this Prospectus. Potential investors are advised to examine very cautiously and diligently the information about our future and not to made investment decisions solely based on future forecasts or outlook. We do not take any obligation to update or review any information about our future outlook, except as required by Brazilian legislation. 33 PURPOSE OF THE OFFERING AND USE OF PROCEEDS The purpose of the Offering is to raise the liquidity of our preferred shares and obtain resources from the sale of the Shares. We do not receive any resources from the sale of the preferred shares held by FVL, PREVI or BNDES. These Offerors will receive all net funds resulting from sale of the Shares respectively owned by them. Funds resulting from selling Shares owned by us will be used for making investments in expanding and modernizing our facilities. 34 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The chart below shows selected financial information from our Company for each of the indicated periods.

The statements contained in this Prospectus have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, being that financial statements referring to the year ending on December 31st, 2003 were audited by KPMG Auditores Independentes S/C Ltda and financial statements referring to the years ending on December 31st, 2002 and 2002 were audited by Martinelli Auditores Independentes S/C Ltda. Some amounts presented in this Prospectus may not result in an accurate sum because of approximations. Main Accounting Practices As mentioned above, this analysis and discussion by the Administration on the financial conditions and operating income of WEG S.A. has been conducted based on our consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil, as determined by the Brazilian Corporation Law, and comply with standards and regulations issued by the Securities Commission (CVM) and technical bulletins prepared by the Brazilian Institute of Accountants (IBRACON). Our main accounting practices are as follows: Income Ascertainment. We state our revenues and expenses in our financial statements abiding by the accrual basis – Regime de Competência. Financial investments. We record our financial investments at cost values, added by yields earned up to the balance sheet date, in accordance with rates agreed to with financial institutions. Provision for Customers’ Credit Losses. We calculate our provision for customers’ credit losses based on credit risk analysis, which considers the loss history, being sufficient to cover losses on receivable amounts. Inventories. We value our inventories at mean purchase and / or manufacturing cost, net of recovered taxes and in order not to surpass market prices. Other Current and Long-Term Assets. We present our other current and long-term assets at their cost or realization value, including, when applicable, earned yields and incurred monetary and foreign exchange variations. 38 Investments. We adjust our investments in subsidiaries by the equity method – equivalência patrimonial” – of accounting. We appraise all other investments at purchase price. We convert our foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into local currency by the “historic rate method”, in which: • • Balance Sheets are converted based on the currency rate in force on December 31st of the analyzed year; and Income statements are converted based on the year’s average monthly rate. After the conversion, we ascertain the equity adjustment by the equity method of accounting, by observing that: • • The amount resulting from the period’s income and capital gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange variation and equity increases or decreases, is recorded in Operating Incomes; and The amount resulting from the interest percentage variation in our subsidiaries’ capital stock is recorded in non-operating incomes. Fixed Assets. We calculate our fixed assets at their purchase cost, deducted by their respective depreciations. We calculate depreciations on purchase cost by the linear method, at the rates mentioned in their respective explanatory notes, by taking into consideration their life cycle estimate. Deferred. We record the deferred at purchase and formation cost, deducted from amortization, which is calculated by the linear method at rates taking into consideration intangible assets’ life cycle. Income Tax and Social Contribution. We ascertain income tax and social contribution by taxable and presumed profit – lucro real e presumido, in accordance with the legislation in force. We ascertain deferred income tax and social contribution based on CVM Deliberation 371/02. Other Current and Long-Term Liabilities. We state our other current and long-term liabilities by recognized or calculable amounts, added, as the case may be, by the corresponding financial charges on “pro rata” basis day and incurred monetary and foreign exchange variations. Consolidated. Pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law, the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Company are prepared according to the following main criteria and principles: • • • • Elimination of asset and liability balances arising from transactions between companies included in the consolidation; Elimination of investments in subsidiaries to the extent of the respective net equities; Elimination of revenues and expenses from business dealings with companies included in the consolidation and the profits contained in inventories resulting from transfers to subsidiaries; and Information on minority interests in the net equity and income statement. 39 Income Statement Comparison of our Operating Incomes between the first semester of 2004 and equal period of 2003 The table below shoes the comparison of our Operating Incomes between the first semester of 2004 and equal period in 2003 R$ thousand Gross Revenue from Sales and/or Services Domestic Market Foreign Market Deductions from Gross Revenue Net Revenue Costs of sold goods and/or services Gross Profit Selling Expenses General and Administrative Expenses Financial Revenues Financial Expenses Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Other Operating Revenues/Expenses Equity Accounting Income Operating Income Non-Operating Revenues / Expenses Income Before Taxes/Participations Income Tax / Social Contribution Statutory Participations/Contributions Interest Reversal on Shareholders’ Equity Minority Interests Period’s Profit (Loss) EBITDA 06.30.2003 944,453 580,274 364,179 (148,919) 795,534 (478,185) 317,349 (89,419) (40,158) 101,558 (66,574) 0,0 (25,447) 512 197,821 (4,360) 193,461 (56,546) (2,844) 5,382 (77) 139,376 207,904 06.30.2004 1,181,271 701,665 479,606 (182,942) 998,329 (592,025) 406,304 (112,088) (50,536) 68,622 (53,362) 0,0 (15,671) 12,751 256,020 (4,592) 251,428 (41,854) (4,863) (3,746) (120) 200,845 291,525 Var. % 25.1 20.9 31.7 22.8 25.5 23.8 28.0 25.4 25.8 -32.4 -19.8 0.0 -38.4 0.0 29.4 5.3 30.0 -26.0 71.0 0.0 55.8 44.1 40.2 Remark: For calculation of EBITDA, we consider: (+) Gross Earnings (-) general and administrative expenses (-) other operating revenues and expenses (not including participation in the results from shareholdings of R$ 44.5 million in 2003 and R$ 30.2 million in 2002, R$ 23,9 million in 2001 and R$ 31,6 million in the first semester of 2004 and R$ 17,8 million in the first semester of 2003) (+) depreciation and amortization. Gross Operating Revenue Our revenues come, mainly, from the following: • sales, on the local market, of several types of electric motors and related products, mainly transformers, electrical systems, industrial automation systems, energy machines and generators, industrial paints and varnishes; • export of above-mentioned products, directly from Brazil or through our foreign subsidiaries, abroad including those having manufacturing units; • international sales of our electric motors and other products manufactured in our foreign factories (Argentina, Mexico and Portugal); and 40 • other revenues, including revenues from services rendered to our customers, revenues originating from investments and foreign exchange variation resulting from our foreign currency income and investments in our foreign companies. Our Gross Operating Income in the first semester of 2004 of totaled R$1,181.3 million, representing an R$ 236.8 million increase, that is, 25.1% in relation to our R$ 944.5 Gross Income in the first semester of 2003. Our Gross Operational Income on the domestic market showed a 20.9% growth, comparing the first semester of 2004 to the first semester of 2003, while on the foreign market our Gross Income showed a 31.7% growth, compared to our Gross Operating Income in the same period of the year 2003. Among the factors contributing to this performance, we emphasize the sales increase of electric motors, our Group’s main product: physical sales of single-phase motors totaled 4.0 million units in the first semester of 2004 (representing 1,274.8 thousand HP), a 9.5% increase when compared to the first semester of 2003, when 3.6 million units were marketed (representing 1,076.8 thousand HP). Single-phase motor sales showed a 16.1% growth in the first semester of 2004, totaling a sale of 647.5 thousand units (representing 5.6 million HP), compared to 557.7 thousand units in the same period in 2003 (5.1 million HP). Our Gross Income on the foreign market totaled R$ 479.6 million (US$ 161.1 million) in the first semester of 2004, versus R$ 364.2 million (US$ 113.4 million) in the first semester of 2003. Despite the 9% Real appreciation against the Dollar in the period (owing to the average quotation of R$ 2.97 / US$ 1 in the first semester of 2004, versus the average R$ 3.24 / US$ 1 quotation in the first semester of 2003), which has a direct influence on our competitiveness abroad, we recorded a 42.1% growth in our Dollar Gross Income. Of our total Income Gross on the foreign market, 40% refer to sales to North America in the first semester of 2004, being that in the first semester of 2003 these sales represented 43%, 18% to South and Central America in the first semester of 2004, being that in the first semester of 2003 these sales represented 12% and, lastly, 30% to Europe in the first semester of 2004, being that in the first semester of 2003 this percentage was 31%. Net revenue in the first semester of 2004 was R$ 998.3 million (R$ 795.5 million in the first semester of 2003). Cost of Sales and Services Rendered Our cost of sales and rendered services in the first semester of 2004 increased by R$ 113.8 million, that is, 23.8% when compared to the first semester of 2003, growing from R$ 478.2 million in the first semester of 2003, to R$ 592.0 million in the first semester of 2004. The cost of sales and rendered services in the first semester of 2004 represented a percentage of 59.3% of our net income from sales and services in this same period, while in the first semester of 2003 our cost of sales and rendered services corresponded to 60.1% of our net income from sales and services in the same period. 41 This variation (on a monetary basis or on absolute terms) was due, mainly, to the following: (i) copper and steel slabs cost increase – our main raw materials, whose prices are quoted in Dollars and indicated by the international market – even though this cost pressure as a result of Dollar price increase has been partly offset by the 9.0% Real appreciation against the Dollar, by comparing the Real average quotations against the Dollar in the first semester of 2004 to the first semester of 2003; and (ii) the addition of 1,335 employees to our payroll, growing from a total of 10,763 employees registered in the first semester of 2003, to 12,098 in the first semester of 2004, as a result of our production growth (especially electric motor production) and (iii) the category’s 11% collective bargaining salary raise in January 2004 (8% in Jan/2003 and 6.24% in Feb/2003). Gross Profit In consequence of the above-mentioned factors, our Gross Profit in the first semester of 2004 increased by R$ 89.0 million in relation to the same period in 2003, growing from R$ 317.3 million in the first semester of 2003, to R$ 406.3 million in the first semester of 2004, which represented a 28.0% increase. In spite of the impact of our raw-material and labor-related costs, we managed by means of passing on prices and productivity gains in our operations, to increase our gross margin, which grew from 39.9% in the first semester of 2003 to 40.7% in the first semester of 2004. Operating Expenses In the first semester of 2004, our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 162.6 million, representing a 25.5% increase in relation to the same period the previous year, which was R$ 129.6 million at the first semester of 2003. The ratio between our consolidated operating expenses and our net income did not present an expressive variation when comparing the first semester of 2004 to an equal period in the previous year, remaining at 16.3% in the first semester of 2003 and in the first semester of 2004. In the first semester of 2004 our expenses with sales totaled R$ 112.1 million, representing an 25.4% increase when compared to expenses with sales in the first semester of 2003, which totaled R$ 89.4 million. This R$ 22.7 million increase, that is, 25.4% was expected and occurred in consonance with our net income growth of 25.5% in this same period. Our general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 50.5 million, representing a R$ 10.4 million increase, that is, 25.8% when compared to our general and administrative expenses in an equal period in the previous year, which totaled R$ 40.2 million. We emphasize that the main item of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses is payroll expenses, which grew a result of an 11% raise under the collective bargaining agreement of January 2004, after previous raises on 8% in January 2003 and 6.24% in February 2003. Financial Income Our financial income in the first semester of 2004 was R$ 15.3 million, representing a R$ 19.7 million decrease, that is, 56.4% when compared to our financial income in the first semester of 2003, which had totaled R$ 35.0 million. On the other hand, our financial expense on loans and financings decreased from R$ 66.6 million in the first semester of 2003 to R$ 53.4 million in the 42 first semester of 2004, representing a R$ 13.2 million decrease, or 19.8%. While our financial income increased from R$ 101.6 million in the first semester of 2003 to R$ 68.6 million in the first semester of 2004. The positive financial result arises from investments in a fixed income investment fund and certificates of deposit superior to the expenses arising from loans and financing. This variation mainly resulted from the 9.0% Real appreciation against the Dollar in the period (by comparing the average Real daily quotation in relation to the Dollar in the first semester of 2004 and in the first semester of 2003) and its effects on our foreign currencydenominated loans and financial investments, taking into account that a portion of our investments was not hedged by foreign exchange swap financial instruments. At the end of the first semester of 2004, of our total R$ 805.2 million indebtedness, approximately 65.5%, or, R$ 527.5 was made of foreign currency-indexed loans. At the end of the first semester of 2003, the percentage of our total foreign currency-indexed indebtedness was approximately 63.5%, representing a R$ 341.4 million amount, against our total indebtedness in this period of R$ 537.3 million. Our financial investments in the first semester of 2004 totaled R$ 849.0 million, being that, of this total, R$ 273.8 million in dollar-denominated financial investments. In the first semester of 2003, our financial investments totaled R$ 686.5 million, of which R$ 189.1 were dollar-denominated. In order to hedge against investment transactions variations, we performed foreign swap operations: (i) on dollar investments abroad for 100% to 105% of Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI), in the total amount of R$ 163.1 million (US$ 52.5 million), in the first semester of 2004, while in the same period in 2003 these operations totaled R$ 134.7 million (US$ 46.9 million); and (ii) of financial investments in Brazil, CDI to Dollar swap, in the amount of R$ 39.7 million and from CDI to TJLP + interest in the amount of R$ 40 million in the first semester of 2004. Other Net Expenses/ Operating Incomes Our other net operating expenses were reduced from R$ 25.4 million in the first semester of 2003 to R$ 15.7 million in the first semester of 2004. The main component of this item is our employees’ participation in our profits, which represented expenditures of R$ 31.6 million in the first semester of 2004, while in an equal period in the 2003-year these expenditures were R$ 17.8 million. Other non-recurring items, which had an influence on this variation of our other net operating expenses were (i) Employees’ Profit Participation Plan - PIS/semestrial recovery*, in the amount of R$ 6.9 million in the first semester of 2004; and (ii) capital loss resulting from foreign exchange variation of investments abroad in the amount of R$ 11.4 million occurred in the first semester of 2003. The recovery of “PIS/Semestralidade” refers to refund of PIS overpayment in the period from June 1988 to November 1995 because of interpretation of the laws in force at that time – DecreeLaws no. 2445/88 and 2449/88 – that PIS could be paid monthly based on revenue from the sixth prior month, without any monetary correction indexation during this period. The calculation base of the PIS contribution remained in force until the issuance of Provisional Measure 1212/95, which defined the calculation base for PIS as the revenue from the previous month. On June 30, 2004, the remaining PIS/Semestralidade credit was R$ 2.9 million. 43 Equity Accounting Income Our equity accounting income is made up of the 7.47% interest in Perdigão S.A.’s total capital. In the first semester of 2004, our equity accounting income was positive by R$ 12.8 million, versus a R$ 512 thousand income in the first semester of 2003. This variation in the equity accounting income occurred as a result of the improvement in Perdigão S.A’s net income. Operating Profit In consequence of the above-mentioned factors, our Operating Profit in the first semester of 2004 totaled R$ 256.0 million, representing a R$ 58.2 million increase, that is, approximately 29.4% in comparison to our R$ 97.8 million Operating Profit in an equal period in the year 2003. Net Non-Operating Income Our net non-operating income in the first semester of 2004 had little effect on our net income in this period, totaling R$ 4.6 million in the first semester of 2004 in comparison to R$ 4.4 million in the first semester of 2003, whose main item was a provision for losses on investments in FINAM and FINOR, in the amount of R$ 3.7 million in the first semester of 2003 and provision for losses on export notes in the amount of R$ 4.9 million in the first semester of 2004. FINAM (Amazon Investment Fund) and FINOR (Northeast Investment Fund) are funds created to make investments in projects in regions benefited by incentives from the Amazon Development Superintendency (SUDAM) and the Northeast Development Superintendency (SUDENE), respectively. The amounts recognized in the income statement refer to the loss on realization of these investments (sales of quotas in these funds at market rates). Income Tax and Social Contribution In the first semester of 2004 we made a provision for income tax and social contribution of R$ 44.1 million and R$ 2.3 million of deferred income tax (positive). In the same period the previous year these figures were R$ 45.2 million of provision for income tax and social contribution and R$ 11.4 million of deferred income tax. Contributing to this variation was the result of the effect of tax credits on our taxable income and movements in deferred income tax and social contribution accounts. We have deferred tax credits, whose balance on June 30, 2004 totaled R$ 15.0 million (in comparison to the R$ 4.1 million balance calculated on June 30, 2003), coming from income tax and social contribution losses by our subsidiaries (R$ 2.8 million on June 30, 2004), and from taxes under judicial discussion, tax/civil contingencies and non-deductible provision totaling R$ 12.2 million on June 30, 2004, being that these same provisions totaled R$ 4.1 million on June 30, 2003. We expect to offset credits coming from tax loss with future tax losses, within the next 3 years, and tax credit originating from judicial issues and contingencies, according to the outcome of judicial proceedings in progress. 44 Net Profit We calculated a R$ 200.8 net profit in the first semester of 2004, representing a 44.1% increase on the profit recorded in the first semester of 2003. The expansion or our revenues on the foreign market, our products’ penetration in new markets, our sales growth in the industrial automation segment and industrial package services (Turnkey) for large consumers, have contributed to this performance. EBITDA EBITDA totaled R$ 291.5 million in the first semester of 2004, against R$ 207.9 million in the same period of 2003, an increase of R$ 83.6 million (40.2%). EBITDA margin was 29.2% in the first semester of 2004, greater than the margin of the same period the previous year (26.1%).

Gross Revenue Our Gross Revenue in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 increased by R$ 480.2 million, that is, 31.3%, growing from R$ 1,535.9 million in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 to 45 R$ 2,015.1 million in 2003. Our gross revenue on the domestic market showed a 22.9% growth, while our gross revenue on the foreign market showed a 47.1% growth, comparing the period ending on December 31st, 2003 to the period ending on December 31st, 2002. Among the factors contributing to this performance, we emphasize: (i) electric motor sales growth – our main product, single-phase motor physical sales having totaled 7.4 million units (2.4 million HP) in 2003, 15.6 % higher than the 6,4 million unit total (2.0 million HP) marketed in the previous period and three-phase motor sales totaled 1.2 million units in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 (10.7 million HP), compared to sales of 1.1 million units (9.7 million HP) marketed in the 2002 period; and (ii) share growth of the industrial automation unit in our Group’s total billing, which increased from 11.9% of gross revenue in 2002 to 13.2 % in 2003, representing a 45% gross revenue growth in this segment only. Our Gross Operating Revenue in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 coming from the foreign market totaled R$ 781.2 million (US$ 256.4 million), while these same revenues in the year 2002 totaled R$ 531.2 million (US$ 177.3 million). Of our revenue total on the foreign market in the period ending on December 31st, 2003, 67% were revenues generated through our foreign subsidiaries. This percentage in 2002 was 63%. Our Group has factories in Mexico, Argentina and Portugal. We also have subsidiaries that market and distribute our products in the United States, Venezuela, Germany, England, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Australia and Japan. In 2003, we established companies for marketing and distributing our products in Chile and Colombia, in addition to having formed a partnership with Mitsui as our product distributor in Japan. Our Net Revenue grew by R$ 412.1 million (32.1%), from R$ 1,282.0 million in 2002 to R$ 1,694.2 million in 2003. Cost of Sales and Rendered Services The cost of our sales and rendered services in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 totaled R$ 1,027.4 million, representing a R$ 228.7 million growth, that is, 28.6%, in relation to the cost incurred in the year 2002, which totaled R$ 798,7 million. The ratio between the cost of our sales and rendered services decreased by 62.3% in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 to 60.6% in the year 2003. We highlight that mentioned decrease was, mainly a result of: (i) the scale gain as result of our product sales growth and consequent dilution of our fixed costs; and (ii) the smaller foreign exchange pressure on dollar-quoted raw materials prices, taking into account that during the year 2003 the Real showed an average 4.9% devaluation in relation to the Dollar, based on Real daily quotations against the Dollar, whereas in 2002 average devaluation was 19.5%. Gross Profit As a result of the above-mentioned factors our gross margin showed a 39.4% growth in the 2003 period, in comparison to the 37.7% growth in the year 2002. Our Gross Profit in 2003 increased by R$ 183.4 million, that is, 38%, growing from R$ 483.3 million in 2002, to R$ 666,7 million in the 2003 period. 46 Operating Expenses Our expenses with sales, general and administrative in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 totaled R$ 283.7 million, which represented a 27.2% growth in relation to the 2002 period, when they totaled R$ 223.1 million. The consolidated operating expense share percentage showed a 17.4% decrease in 2002 to 16.7% in 2003, in spite of the 14.74% salary adjustment in 2003 (9.5% in 2002). The main reason for improvement of our performance was our fixed expense dilution as a result of our expressive 32.19% income growth in the period. Other Net Operating Expenses The item other net operating expenses totaled R$ 54,8 million in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 representing a R$ 40.3 million growth, that is, 277.93% in relation to this item in the 2002 period that totaled R$ 14.5 million. The main component of this item is our employees’ participation in our profits, which represented, in 2003, represented expenditures of R$ 44.5 million, while these expenditures in 2003 totaled R$ 30.2 million. Among other non-recurring items that had an influence on this variation of other operating expenses, we highlight: (i) capital losses resulting from foreign exchange variation on investments abroad in the amount of R$ 13.8 million in the year 2002, versus a R$ 21.7 gain in 2003; and (ii) Employees’ Profit Participation Plan - PIS/Semestraildade recovery, in the amount of R$ 6.6 million in 2003. On December 31, 2003 the remaining PIS/Semestralidade credit was R$ 10.3 million. Financial Income Our financial income in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 was R$ 66.6 million, representing a R$ 36.4 million growth, that is, 120.5%, over our financial income in the year 2002, which totaled R$ 30.2 million. Our financial expense with loans and financings totaled R$ 111.1 million in 2003, versus R$ 111.4 million in 2002, while our financial income totaled R$ 177.6 million in the period ending on December 31st, 2003, representing a R$36 million increase, that is, approximately 25.4% over our financial income in 2002, which totaled R$ 141.6 million. The financial result comes from financial investments in a fixedyield investment fund and certificates of deposit superior of the expenses arising from loans and financing. This variation is the result, mainly, of the smaller Real devaluation in relation to the Dollar during the Year 2003, which accumulated a 4.5% devaluation, in comparison to the devaluation accumulated in the year 2002, which totaled 19.5% and, consequently, of its effects on our foreign currency-denominated loans, and financial gain with foreign exchange swap operations, which totaled R$ 26.5 million in 2003, in comparison to R$ 7.8 million in 2002. Our total indebtedness on December 31st, 2003 was R$ 599.7 million, being that of this amount, approximately, 58.0 %, that is, R$ 347.6 million was made up of foreign currencyindexed loans, while of our total R$ 696.0 million indebtedness on December 31st, 2002, R$ 527.6 million were foreign-currency indexed. Our financial investments on December 31st, 2003 totaled R$ 723.6 million, being that R$ 237.5 million of this total were made up of 47 investments in Brazilian government dollar-denominated bonds and export notes, while on December 31st, 2002, our financial investments totaled R$ 743.1 million, of which R$ 206.1 million were made up of Dollar financial investments. In order to hedge against foreign exchange variation effects on our investments abroad, we made foreign exchange swap operations: (i) on foreign dollar investments for 100% to 105% of Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI), which totaled R$ 108.4 million (US$ 37.5 million), on December 31st, 2003, while on December 31st, 2002 these operations totaled R$ 175.4 million (US$ 49.7 million); and (ii) financial investments in Brazil, CDI to Dollar swap, totaling R$ 59.0 million on December 31st, 2003 and R$ 202.2 on December 31st, 2002. Equity Accounting Income Our equity accounting income is made up of the 7.47% interest in Perdigão S.A.’s total capital (we recognize the equity based on the balance sheet related to December of the previous fiscal year to November of the current fiscal year). In the period ending on December 31st, 2003, our Equity Accounting Income was positive by R$ 7.6 million, versus the amount of R$ 2.2 million in the year 2002. The variation in the Equity Accounting Income occurred as a result of the improvement in Perdigão S.A’s net income, which increased from an R$ 8.2 million profit in 2002 to a R$ 123.5 profit in 2003. Operating Profit As a result of the above-mentioned factors, our operating profit in the period ending on December 31st, 2003 totaled R$ 392.0 million, representing a R$ 113.9 million increase, that is, 41.0% over our R$ 278.1 million operating profit in the year 2002. Net Non-Operating Expenses Our Net Non-Operating Expenses totaled R$ 4.6 million in 2003, representing a R$ 3.5 million decrease in the period ending on December 31st, 2003, that is, 42.5% in relation to our non-operating expenses in the year 2002, which totaled R$ 8.1 million. The main nonoperating item was made up of the loss provision in investment in FINAM and FINOR, in the amount of R$ 3.7 million in 2003, and which had totaled R$ 7.2 million in 2002. Income Tax and Social Contribution In the 2003 we made a provision for income tax and social contribution of R$ 80.1 million and R$ 2.6 million of deferred income tax (negative). In 2002 these figures were R$ 48.6 million of provision for income tax and social contribution and R$ 3.4 million of deferred income tax (positive). Contributing to this variation was the result of the effect of tax credits on our taxable income and movements in deferred income tax and social contribution accounts. We have deferred tax credits, whose balance on December 31st, 2003 totaled R$ 12.9 million (in comparison to the R$ 15.4 million balance calculated on December 31st, 2002), coming from income tax and social contribution losses by our subsidiaries (R$ 1.0 million on December 31st, 2003, versus R$ 3.7 million on December 31st, 2002) and from taxes under 48 judicial discussion, tax/civil contingencies and non-deductible provision totaling R$ 11.9 million on December 31st, 2003, with these same provisions totaling R$ 11.7 million on December 31st, 2002. Net Profit As a result of export income and financial income increase, we calculated a R$ 307.8 million Net Profit in the period ending on December 31st, 2003, representing a 39.7% increase over the profit recorded in the period ending on December 31st, 2002, which totaled R$ 220.3 million. EBITDA EBITDA totaled R$ 430.0 million in 2003, against R$ 326.8 million in 2002, an increase of R$ 103.2 million (31.6%). EBITDA margin changed very little, totaling 25.4% in 2003 against 25.5% in 2002. Comparison of Operating Incomes in the periods ending on December 31st, 2002 and December 31st, 2001 The chart below shows the comparison of our Operating Incomes between the periods ending on December 31st, 2002 and December 31st, 2001 R$ thousand Gross Revenue from Sales and/or Services Domestic Market Foreign Market Gross Revenue Deductions Net Revenue Cost of sold goods and/or services Gross Profit Selling Expenses General and Administrative Expenses Financial Revenues Financial Expenses Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Other Operating Revenues/Expenses Equity Accounting Income Operating Income Non-Operating Revenues / Expenses Income Before Taxes/Participations Income Tax / Social Contribution Statutory Participations/Contributions Interest Reversal on Shareholders’ Equity Minority Interests Profit (Loss) in the Period EBITDA 12.31.2001 1,268,873 853,872 415,001 (202,937) 1,065,936 (663,302) 402,634 (113,096) (61,007) 111,394 (83,908) (42.893) (15,831) 11,081 208,374 (3,469) 204,905 (72,025) 0 42,893 (90) 175,683 280,351 12.31.2002 1,534,903 1,003,670 531,233 (252,868) 1,282,035 (798,745) 483,290 (146,524) (76,544) 141,596 (111,410) 0 (14,482) 2,196 278,122 (8,088) 270,034 (45,203) (3,960) (405) (140) 220,326 326,817 Var. % 21.0% 17.5% 28.0% 24.6% 20.3% 20.4% 20.0% 29.6% 25.5% 27.1% 32.8% -8.5% -80.2% 33.5% 133.2% 31.8% -37.2% 55.6% 25.4% 16,6% Remark: For calculation of EBITDA, we consider: (+) Gross Earnings (-) general and administrative expenses (-) other operating revenues and expenses (not including participation in the results from shareholdings of R$ 44.5 million in 2003 and R$ 30.2 million in 2002, R$ 23,9 million in 2001 and R$ 31,6 million in the first semester of 2004 and R$ 17,8 million in the first semester of 2003) (+) depreciation and amortization. 49 Gross Operating Revenue Our Gross Operating Revenue in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 increased by R$ 266.0 million, that is, 21.0%, growing from R$ 1,268.9 million in the period ending on December 31st, 2001 to R$ 1,534.9 million in 2002. Our gross revenue on the domestic market showed a 17.5% growth, while our gross revenue on the foreign market showed a 28% growth, by comparing the period ending on December 31st, 2002 to the period ending on December 31st, 2001. Among the factors contributing to our growth on the domestic market, we highlight the industrial automation and transformers segment, which showed a growth, respectively, of 46% and 36% in the period ending on December 31st, 2002, in relation to the year 2001. Our foreign sales performance benefited from the Real devaluation against the Dollar, which accumulated, during the year 2002, a 19% devaluation, based on average daily quotations of the Real against the Dollar, since our gross operating revenue on the foreign market totaled R$ 531.2 million (US$ 177.3 million) in the period ending on December 31st, 2002, and R$ 415.0 million (US$ 175.6 million) in the year 2001. Our gross revenue distribution on the foreign market was influenced by the drop in the North American share and by the Argentine economic recession. However, these factors were offset by the growth of our sales in Europe. In the year 2002, sales to North America represented 43% of our foreign sales (46% in 2001), while South and Central America represented 13% in the same year (18% in 2001) and Europe 28% (21% in 2001). In accordance with our internationalization strategy, during the 2002 period, we purchased a manufacturing unit with 150 employees in Portugal, dedicated to the production of special electric motors with a power over 50 HP. Our net operating revenue underwent a R$ 216.1 million increase, that is 20.3%, growing from R$ 1,065.9 million in 2001 to R$ 1,282.0 million in 2002. Cost of Sales and Rendered Services The cost of our sales and rendered services in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 798.7 million, representing a R$ 135.4 million growth, that is 20.4%, in relation to the cost incurred in the year 2001, which totaled R$ 663.3 million. The ratio between the cost of our sales and rendered services and our net revenue from sales and services in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 was 62.3%, remaining at the same level as in the year 2001, in which the ratio was 62.2%. This behavior, was due, mainly, to the following factors: (i) Impact of the 19.5% foreign exchange devaluation in the year 2002 over the costs of raw materials, which are quoted in Dollar and indicated by international prices (especially steel slabs and copper); e (ii) The labor cost increase as a result of the growth in the number of our employees, which increased from a 9.254 total on December 31st, 2001, to 10,152 employees on December 31st, 2002, as well as the category’s salary collective bargaining of 9.5% in 2002 (8% in 2001). 50 Gross Profit Our Gross Profit in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 483.3 million, representing an R$ 80.7 million increase, that is 20.0%, in relation to the 2001 period, which totaled R$ 402.6 million. The Real exchange devaluation in relation to the Dollar, which accumulated a 19.5% devaluation during the 2002 period, and, consequently, its effects on our export incomes offset the pressure caused by the cost of our inputs with a Dollar price and, as a result, our gross 37.7% margin in 2002 remained at the same level as in 2001, which was 37.8%. Operating Expenses Our consolidated sales, general and administrative expenses in the period closed on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 223.1 million, representing a 28.1% increase in relation to the same expenses during the previous year, when they totaled R$ 174.1 million. The ratio between our consolidated operating expenses and our net revenue showed a small increase, growing from 16.3% in the 2001 period to 17.4% in the 2002 period. The main reasons for the drop in our performance were: (i) increase in expenditures with personnel in our foreign operations, due to the increase in the number of employees in these operations by 42%; and (ii) foreign exchange variation on general expenses for maintaining our foreign structure. Other Net Operating Expenses/Revenues The item other net operating expenses in the year ending on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 14.5 million, representing a R$ 1.3 million decrease,. That is, 8.2%, in relation to the same expenses in the year 2001, which totaled R$ 15.8 million. The main component of this item is our employees’ participation in our profits, which, in the 2002 period, represented a R$ 30.2 million expenditure, while in the year 2001 this expenditure was R$ 23.9 million. Another non-recurring item, which influenced the variation of our other net operating expenses, was our capital gain on investments abroad as a result of foreign exchange variation, which, in the year 2002, totaled R$ 21.7 million, in comparison to gains in the year 2001, which totaled R$ 8.2 million. Financial Income Our financial income in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 30.2 million, representing a R$ 2.7 million increase, that is, 9.8%, over our income in the 2001 period, which was R$ 27.5 million. Our financial expense on loans and financings totaled R$ 111.4 million in 2002, versus R$ 83.9 million in 2001, representing a 32.8% increase, that is, R$ 27.5 million by comparing the 2002 and 2001 periods. Our financial revenue totaled R$ 141.6 million in 2002, versus R$ 111.4 million in 2001, representing a R$ 30.2 million increase, that is, 27.1% in relation to the 2001 period. The financial result comes from investments in a fixed-yield investment fund and certificates of deposit superior of the expenses arising from loans and financing. This variation is the result, mainly, of the smaller Real devaluation against the Dollar during the year 2002, which accumulated a 19.5% devaluation and, consequently, its effects on our foreign exchange-denominated loans, since a portion of our investments was not hedged by swap. 51 Of our total R$ 696.0 million indebtedness on December 31st, 2002, approximately 73.3%, that is, R$ 510.2 million was made up of foreign currency-indexed loans, while in the 2001 period, of our total R$ 456,5 million indebtedness, R$ 275.6 were made up of foreign-currency indexed loans. Our financial investments on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 743.1 million, being that of this total, R$ 206.1 million were made up of Dollar financial investments, while on December 31st, 2001, of our total financial investments in the amount of R$ 539.2 million, a total of R$ 188.6 million was made up of Dollar financial investments. In order to hedge against the foreign exchange variation on our investments abroad, we made swap operations: (i) on foreign dollar investments for 100% to 105% of the CDI, in the total amount of R$ 175.4 million (US$ 49.7 million, during the year 2002, while in the year 2001 these operations totaled R$ 125.3 million (US$ 54 million); and (ii) financial investments in Brazil, CDI to Dollar swap, in the amount of R$ 202.2 million in the year 2002, while in 2001 these operations totaled R$ 21.3 million. Equity Accounting (“Equivalência Patrimonial”) Our equity accounting income is made up of our 7.47% interest in Perdigão S.A.’s total capital (we recognize the equity based on the balance sheet related to December of the previous fiscal year to November of the current fiscal year). In the period ending on December 31st, 2002, our equity accounting income was positive by R$ 2.2 million, versus R$ 11.1 million in the year 2001. The variation in the equity accounting income occurred as a result of Perdigão S.A.’s worsening net income, which decreased from a R$ 168.2 million profit in 2001 to an R$ 8.2 million profit in 2002. Operating Profit As a result of the above-mentioned factors, our Operating Profit in the period ending on December 31st, 2002 was R$ 278.1 million, representing a R$ 69.7 million increase, that is, 33.4% in comparison to our Operating Profit in the year 2001, which totaled R$ 208.4 million. Net Non-Operating Expenses Our Net Non-Operating Expenses totaled R$ 8,1 million in the period ending on 31st, 2002, representing a R$ 4.6 million increase, that is, approximately 131.4% in relation to our NonOperating Expenses in the year 2001, which totaled R$ 3.5 million. The main non-operating item pressing our non-operating expenses was made up of the loss provision in investment in FINAM and FINOR (see previous explanation), in the amount of R$ 7.2 million in the year 2002, while this provision in the 2001 period totaled R$ 3.1 million. Income Tax and Social Contribution In 2002 we made a provision for income tax and social contribution of R$ 48.6 million and R$ 3.4 million of deferred income tax (positive). In 2001 these figures were R$ 76.7 million of provision for income tax and social contribution and R$ 4.7 million of deferred income tax (positive). Contributing to this variation was the result of the effect of tax credits on our taxable income and movements in deferred income tax and social contribution accounts, as follows: 52 i) On December 31st, 2002, we have deferred tax credits, whose balance on December 31st, 2002 totaled R$ 15.4 million (in comparison to the R$ 12.0 million balance calculated on December 31st, 2001), coming from income tax fiscal losses of our subsidiaries (in the amount of R$ 3.7 million on December 31st, 2002 and from taxes under judicial discussion, tax/civil contingencies and non-deductible provision totaling R$ 11.7 million on December 31st, 2002, being that these same provisions totaled R$ 12.0 on December 31st, 2001. ii) As of 2002, WEG Industries started to calculate the income tax and social contribution provision based on presumed profit, as a result of the company’s adhesion to the Fiscal Recovery Program (REFIS) in December 2000. The new calculation form resulted in income tax and social contribution payment decrease for our Group by comparing the 2002 period to 2001 and should be used by WEG Industries until final settlement of the REFIS balance in 2005. The aim or joining REFIS was to reduce fiscal contingencies, choosing to pay them over a period of 60 months with the outstanding balances updated by the Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP). On December 31st, 2003, the consolidated balance due was R$ 87 million. Net Profit As a result of the above-mentioned factors, we calculated a R$ 220.3 million Net Profit in the period ending on December 31st, 2002, representing a R$ 44.6 increase, that is, 25.4% over the profit recorded in the year 2001, which totaled R$ 175,7 million. EBITDA EBITDA totaled R$ 326.8 million in 2002, against R$ 280.4 million in 2001, an increase of R$ 46.5 million (16.6%). EBITDA margin went from 26.3% in 2001 to 25.5% in 2002, affected mainly by the effect of exchange rate devaluation on operating expenses indexed in foreign currency and increased expenditures for labor abroad. Liquidity and Financial Resources We believe we have sufficient liquidity and financial resources to fulfill our forecasts of debt service needs, capital expenditure and other needs in the next years, although we cannot provide assurances in this respect. We have been obtaining funds from our operating activities on the local and international market (by means of direct exports and our foreign subsidiaries’ activities, allocating these resources to our cash investment and management program for working capital of financial commitments. Invested amounts totalized R$ 72.9 million in 2001, R$ 83.0 million in 2002, R$ 125.7 million in 2003 and R$ 68.4 million in the first semester of 2004 and have been allocated to modernizing and expanding our productive capacity and opening representative offices abroad, in order to increase the number of our foreign subsidiaries and expand our exports. We predict investments for 2004 around R$ 149.6 million, which will be allocated to expanding our productive capacity and modernizing our manufacturing park, being that of this total, R$ 121.0 million allocated to application in Brazil, and the remaining balance, to completing the construction of our new factory located in Mexico. 53 On June 30th, 2004, we had, approximately, 63.0% of maturities, totaling approximately R$ 507.5 million, of a total R$ 805.2 million short-term debt. Short-term loans are mainly constituted of transactions linked to our operating activities (trade finance) such as ACC’s (advance on export contract) and loans via a secured account contracted in local currency by our foreign subsidiaries to cover working capital needs of their activities.

Our operations in Brazil and abroad generate substantial funds for our own financing. Gross operating cash generation represented by EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) totaled R$ 280.4 million in 2001, R$ 326.8 million in 2002, R$ 430.0 million in 2003 and R$ 291.5 million on the first semester of 2004. On June 30th, 2004, approximately 65.5% of our total R$ 805.2 million indebtedness, that is, R$ 527.5 million (US$ 169.8 million) was made up of foreign currency-indexed loans. Of this total, R$ 494.4 million were Dollar-indexed and R$ 33.1 basket of currencies-indexed, 27.3% TJLP (Long-Term Interest Rate)-indexed, 7.2% to the IGP-M (General Price IndexMarket) and others. Most of our foreign currency loans refer to financial funding by our foreign subsidiaries, which totaled, on June 30th, 2004, the amount of R$ 275.2 million (US$ 88.6 million). Other foreign-currency funded loans are made up of ACC’s (advance on export contracts) and lines funded with BNDES, EXIM e FINEM. Our revenue with exports and foreign sales through our subsidiaries make up a natural hedge of these loans, being that in the first semester of 2004, approximately, 40.6% of our total revenue, that is, R$ 479.6 million were foreign currency-originated. 54 WEG Group’s Debt Status Financings R$ mil ST 12.31.2003 LT Gross Debt 376,521 Foreign Currency Working Capital Working Capital (ACC) Local Currency Property, Plant and Equipment Working Capital Others Financial Assets Local Currency Cash Assets Bank Deposit Certificate Fixed Income Funds Foreign Currency Foreign Government Securities Export Note Other Investments Net Cash Net Worth Total Capitalization ST 06.30.2004 LT Total 223,147 599,668 507,510 297,701 805,211 299,838 47,802 347,640 387,936 139,533 527,469 253,810 47,802 301,612 168,691 139,533 308,224 46,028 - 46,028 219,245 - 219,245 76,683 175,345 252,028 119,574 158,168 277,742 4,933 57,201 4,931 56,775 61,706 55,122 118,144 173,266 112,578 100,593 213,171 16,628 - 800 2,865 848,953 563,323 29,142 451,321 82,860 273,837 273,837 11,793 43,742 977,253 933,511 Total 62,134 16,628 723,622 452,411 32,678 327,812 91,921 253,582 237,505 16,077 17,629 123,954 861,426 737,472 2,065 On June 30th, 2004, our financial investments totaled R$ 849.0 million, of which R$ 273.8 million were represented by Dollar financial investments (R$ 189.1 million on June 30th, 2003). The financial result comes from investments in a fixed-yield investment fund and bank certificates of deposit backed by the Brazilian interbank certificates superior to the expenses resulting from loans and financing. In order to hedge against the effects of foreign exchange variations on our foreign investments, we made swap operations: (i) over foreign investments: in Dollars for 100% to 105% of the CDI in the total amount of R$ 163.1 million (US$ 52.5 million) on the first semester of 2004, while in this same period of 2003 such transaction totaled R$ 134,7 million (US$46.9 million); and (ii) financial investments in Brazil: CDI to Dollar, in the total amount of R$ 39.7 million and fro CDI to TJLP plus interest in the total amount of R$ 40 million in the first semester of 2004. 55 THE ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC SECTOR IN BRAZIL General View of Our Business and Sector Despite their great diversity, the products manufactured by Group Weg mainly consist of motors/generators and related electrical and electronic equipments (switches, automation, paints and varnishes for related equipments). In general, such items have been created in the history of the Company to aggregate value to our basic products (motors and generators), such as the part for protection and control (switches). Except for the paints unit (Weg Química, nearly 6% of the sales), all these products are classified as part of the “Electrical-electronic Complex” as defined by the Brazilian Association of Electrical and Electronic Industry (ABINEE). Hence, we analyze below the relevant aspects of this complex, of which Weg is a part (the information below regarding the Sector of Capital Goods and household appliances (white line) were selected from public recognized sources (governmental entities and sector entities), ABINEE – Brazilian Association of Electrical and Electronic Industry, ABIMAQ – Brazilian Association of Machines and Equipment and Ministry of Development, Industry and External Commerce. Proportion of roughly 80-20% between capital goods and consumer goods. The electrical and electronic products made by our various business units serve both the capital goods and consumer goods segment (the latter consisting of household appliances, or “white line”). It is important to note that sales to the capital goods segment are both for direct industrial application and indirect uses (industrial equipments that use motors or other Weg products) and represent 79% of the total sales (including in this total sales of the Weg Química ones, essentially paints and varnishes for industrial applications). We identify below the sales breakdown of each WEG business unit in its respective segment, according to the ABINEE classification.

Source: ABINEE The electrical-electronic sector is one of the most important industrial segments nowadays, permeating all industrial sectors and one of the main agents for diffusion of technology. The principal economic blocks and industrialized countries have integrated and welldeveloped electrical-electronic industries, ranging from manufacturing of semiconductors to final products, both for industrial (capital goods) and household use. In large part the domestic needs of these blocks and countries are supplied internally. The United States, Japan and Western Europe dominate the market for high-technology products. More conventional products and sub-products, with low unit value and mass consumption, are mainly produced by countries of Southeast Asia, notably China. 57 In Brazil, the sector had gross revenues of R$ 64 billion (2003), 13% more than the previous year, representing 4.2% of Brazil’s GDP. According to information from the ABIDEE, over the past 5 years, the average revenue annual growth of the electrical-electronic sector in Brazil has been 11.3%. Below we present this evolution for each segment of the sector, and in the graph that follows, the evolution of the overall sector.

It is worth noting hat this deficit fell 10% in 2003 because the lower exchange rate (Real decreased 4.7%) compared to the previous year, while exports grew 7% (to R$ 4.7 billion) and imports fell slightly 2% (to R$ 9.9 billion). In this scenario, Weg is an exception, with only slight imports and large exports (nearly 40% of its total sales were direct exports and sales to its foreign subsidiaries). Below we present the recent evolution of exports and imports in the sector.

Exports in 2003 totaled R$ 217 million, growth of 24% over 2002. In relation to the markets to which the sector’s products are exported, with the exception of Southeast Asia and the United States, exports to all other regions in the world rose in 2003 in relation to the results of 2002. Even with the retraction, the United States continued to be the main market for electro-electronic products and accounted for almost half of exported total. Next comes ALADI (Latin American Association of Integration), which relied on Argentina’s recovery, since all other countries making up this block dropped from 19% to 17% in the Sector’s Brazilian export share.

The largest drop was in the Industrial equipment area (-29%), with a US$ 520 million retraction. The largest drop was of the motor generator group, whose imports dropped from US$ 1.2 billion, in 2002, to US$ 657 million, in 2003. We note that imports of generator motors were very high during the period power rationing in 2001 and start of 200s, but returned to normal in 2003. Semiconductors were the most imported products, reaching US$ 1.7 billion in 2003, followed by computer components (US$ 879 millions) and telecommunications components (US$ 812 million). In relation to imports from several regions of the world, the 21% growth from Southeast Asia stood out, which reached US$ 4.2 billion, becoming the main origin of the Sector’s Brazilian imports. The Component segment (US$ 3.1 billion) represented 74% of this total. Semiconductor purchases stood out, reaching US$ 1.2 billion. 60 Capital Goods Segment Of the six Weg business units, we can classify the industrial activities of the following as falling in the capital goods sector: (i) Weg Motores, excluding the part aimed at the electrical appliance sector; (ii) Weg Máquinas; (iii) Weg Acionamentos; (iv) Weg Automação Industrial; (v) Weg Transformadores; and (vi) most of the industrial paints and varnishes of Weg Química. Present in the productive chain of most industrial sectors, the capital goods industry is fundamental to the economy, diffusing technology and quality that are essential for the competitive production of a country’s consumer goods and services. Capital goods are products endowed with many attributes (price, durability, precision, performance, etc.) whose relative importance to their users is highly variable. As a consequence, the heterogeneity of products is one of the main characteristics of the capital goods industry. For example, just in the machine tools segment there are more then 3,000 types of products, differing according to their finality, size, means of control, performance and accessories. The output of capital goods is basically divided into goods produced in series and those made to order. Series capital goods are machines with simpler technology, smaller physical dimensions, produced in large scale, with low unit value and less time between manufacture and sale. Naturally, such characteristics imply relatively lower profit margins. Such goods, which represent nearly 80% of the capital goods market1, are produced for various segments, among them: machinery and tools; textile machinery; heavy machinery; agricultural machinery and tools; machinery for plastic articles; printing machinery; equipment for electrical, plumbing, heating, refrigeration and ventilation installations; scales; and industrial chains, among others. They are produced from standardized designs, in medium or large runs. The fabrication of this type of equipment can be done in relatively short order. Their production depends on basic inputs such as steel, electricity and components produced by the informatics sector, whose intensity of use can be taken as an indicator of the technological evolution of the sector and of the industry as a whole. Custom-made capital goods, in general commanding larger profit margins, are those made from pre-agreed designs, with large dimensions, high unit value, technologically more complex and with longer periods between order and delivery. These items represent some 20% of the market2, the main segments being: boilers; mechanical, electrical, railway and nautical equipment; industrial production line equipment (steel making, pulp and paper); mining equipment; oil and petrochemical industry equipment; among others. Production is done from specific designs for determined productive units, or also from standardized designs for products whose fabrication is to order. Production of such machinery and equipment typically takes longer. 1 Source: ABIMAQ 2 Source: ABIMAQ 61 General View of the Offer of Demand Made-to-order capital goods Series-made capital goods Subsector Offer – some products Pumps and compressors Movement of cargo and persons Agricultural equipment and implements Refrigeration Measurement and precision instruments Machine tools Electrical conductors Electric motors and components Measurement instruments Industry Demanding Manufacturing industry Electric power Heavy construction Agriculture Mining Power generation, transmission and distribution Heavy machinery and equipment Industrial machinery Boilers Metal structures for civil construction Shipyard and ship components Trains and railroad components Oil and gas Petrochemicals Pulp and paper Steel making and metallurgy Electric power Telecommunications Civil construction Mining Capital goods Consumer goods Transportation According to the Brazilian Association of the Machinery and Equipment Industry (ABIMAQ), the sector consists of roughly 4,500 companies, of which 60% are classified as small, 20% as medium and 20% as large. The machinery and equipment industry encompasses 36 segments ranging from pumps to sophisticated hydraulic equipment. Imports and Exports Companies that produce capital goods in Brazil in general have low production scale because of the competition from foreign companies, which generates high idle plant capacity and fixed costs. The commercial opening of the Brazilian economy starting in 1990 and the upturn in industrial activity after currency stabilization with the introduction of the real in July 1994 have been causing strong expansion of capital goods imports. This is negative for Weg because many producers of industrial equipment use motors in this equipment and are potential customers of Weg. This sector generally produces a trade deficit, but Weg is an exception, with growing exports (nearly 40% of sales go to direct exports of sales to foreign subsidiaries). It is important to note that in this context a devaluation of the real has a doubly positive impact. Weg’s products become more competitive abroad (and to those imported competitors), and the capital goods industry in Brazil benefits as well. The majority of industrial equipment used by this industry has motors, in large part made by Weg. The recovery of the domestic capital goods industry is thus positive for Weg. 62 The strategy of foreign companies is specialization of plants, defining the products that will be manufactured in each country where they have branches. This results in a complementary production pattern. In Brazil, these companies are producing goods with lower aggregate value and for the regional market. According to ABIMAQ, nearly 80% of imports are made by means of regional manufacturers and represent 30% of their revenue. Some companies are becoming resellers of foreign marks and suppliers of technical assistance services of these imported products.

Other parts of this segment are audio and video equipment (brown line) and portable appliances.

Producing electric motors in the early 60s, in a 20 thousand-inhabitant town located in upstate of Santa Catarina, was a challenge. In order to create the brand used in our motors, the founding partners chose a conjugation of their names’ initials, Werner, Eggon and Geraldo – WEG, which means “path” in the German language. In the first quarter of the activity, 146 electric motors were assembled and, since then, our business has not stopped expanding. Since our foundation, we have adopted as business strategy the creation of a highly-qualified technical assistance network, developing our client`s confidence and publicizing our products. Still in the 60’s, we started qualifying our first technical assistant, whom we trained and provided with always updated information on our products. Focused on this action, we quickly developed the largest technical assistance network in Brazil. We believe that thanks to specialized training, constant technical updating and presence throughout the Brazilian territory, our technical assistant network can be pointed out as responsible for the great initial success of our products. On June 7th, 1965, already structured and stable on the market, Eletromotores Jaraguá Ltda. was transformed into a corporation. In 1971, our company’s shares were admitted for trading on the stock exchange. In 1972, in order to meet the growing demand for motors we started a phase of intensive expansion of our industrial park. We built a foundry that made us self-sufficient in casing, machining machines and tooling production. In this manner we were able to manufacture new tools essential for increasing our productivity. In 1973, we started the construction of a new production unit called “Parque Fabril II”, on a 400 thousand square-meter land, which would be added to the 30 thousand square meters up to then occupied by our factories. At that time, our strategy started to be based on a fair and competitive price, technological quality and efficient technical assistance. In September 1975, we reached the mark of 1 million produced electric motors, consolidating the WEG brand. We believe that we became, then, the biggest electric motor manufacturer in Latin America and leading the product’s Brazilian exports. In the early 80’s, we redefined our strategy toward diversifying our activities. Following the major corporations operating in the sector, such as General Electrics, AEG, Siemens and Brown Boveri, we expanded our product line, by also offering technological “packages”, expanding our product and service line. 65 In 1979, in order to acquire cutting-edge technology to enter the power electronics field, we associated, in Brazil, with a Swedish company Asea, through a joint-venture company called WEG/ASEA Industrial Ltda. The association lasted for a short period of time due to the Swedish company’s resistance to nationalizing its products. Already in the next year the joint venture was terminated and we started developing in our laboratories the technology used in our new products and services. Pursuing our diversification strategy, in March 1980 we created WEG Máquinas Ltda., aimed at producing large-size rotary electric machines, mainly intended for the energy, petrochemical, mining, and pulp and paper industry. WEG Máquinas also absorbed the production of direct current, medium and high power motors, in addition to power generators. In December 1980, we established WEG Acionamentos Ltda., in order to produce electroelectronic components and develop application engineering for industrial systems, focusing on the motor protection concept. With the new company, we also started operating in the industrial computing area, developing programmable controllers, designed for industrial process command and control. With WEG Acionamentos S.A. and WEG Máquinas S.A. we took the first step toward diversification and future establishment of the WEG Group. In the first months of 1981, we purchased Ecemic Indústria de Transformadores, a Blumenau (SC) company, whose corporate name was later changed to WEG Transformadores Ltda. The new company is dedicated to the production of distribution equipment, meeting a diversified line of needs for industrial complexes, electric power concessionaires, rural electrification companies, hospitals, residential and commercial condominiums, hotels, civil and public construction. With WEG Transformadores S.A., we achieved a new synergy and started standing out in the electric power generation, distribution and transmission market. Pursuing the implementation of our diversification strategy, in November 1983, we purchased Tintas Michigan S/A, a company located in Garamirim (SC), whose corporate name was changed to WEG Química S.A. This company started focusing on market conquest within the specific segment of industrial and electro-insulating paints. Currently, under the form of a business unit, it fully meets the need for paints and insulators by our other companies. We believe that WEG Química supplies a major part of the domestic market in the industrial paint segment. In 1986 we created WEG Automação S.A. This company started its activities with an operation line oriented toward servo-mechanism and industrial robots mainly used in unhealthy activities, or repetitive job such has handling, loading and unloading of parts. In April 1988, Weg Máquinas, Weg Acionamentos, Weg Transformadores, Weg Química and Weg Automação were transformed from corporations into limited liability companies. In 1993, WEG Automação was moved to Jaraguá do Sul, starting to manufacture, develop and market industrial automation products. That same year, we began an operation consolidation process in the power electronics, industrial facilities, industrial process automation and control market. 66 In 1994, with the implementation of our industrial business centers, we started offering, through WEG Automação, electrical packages to the market, including electric panels, motor control centers, supervision and control systems, low and medium-voltage motors, in addition to transformers. In 1999, all the companies in charge of WEG Group’s industrial activities, were incorporated by Weg Automação, which in turn had its corporate name changed to WEG Indústrias S.A. As a result of this restructuring, all the factories and transactions of the Group`s companies in Brazil started making up WEG Indústrias’ business units. Corporate Restructuring In the late 1999, we started a corporate restructuring process aimed at obtaining better operating performance and reduction of administrative bureaucracy. This restructuring was characterized, mainly, by two basic aspects: (i) the concentration of all our industrial activities in a single corporation, WEG Indústrias, through consecutive incorporations, seeking, among other things, to eliminate cascading taxes; this company started being responsible for the development, manufacturing, and marketing of WEG products on the domestic market; and (ii) the establishment in August 2001 of the group’s trading company, WEG Exportadora, which became responsible for our international activities, carrying out exports and promoting our products abroad, in addition to being the controlling company of our foreign subsidiaries; In December 1999, WEG Transformadores, WEG Máquinas, WEG Acionamentos and WEG Química were incorporated into WEG Automação’s equity. Later on, on January 17th, 2000, WEG Motores and WEG Indústrias S.A. were also incorporated into WEG Automação’s equity, which started controlling all our industrial activities. Soon afterwards, on January 18th, 2000, WEG Automação had its corporate name changed to WEG Indústrias Ltda. At last, on August 1st, 200, WEG Indústrias Ltda. was transformed into a corporation, called WEG Indústrias S.A. In September 2001, in view of tax and operating advantages related to the concentration of our exports in a single corporation, we established WEG Exportadora. In January 2002, WEG Indústrias was partially split off, transferring part of its equity to WEG Exportadora, in the amount of R$ 211,214,482.00 (based on an appraisal report conducted at the time), referring to the interest in the foreign subsidiaries.

The Company owns the remaining stock capital of all the subsidiaries of the Weg Exportadora indicated in the above chart. Our Group’s Internationalization Process Our first exports of electric motors to the Latin American continent countries happened already in the 60’s. Later on, as a result of our technological upgrading and new competitiveness gains, our motors started reaching new markets, as from Mexico and the United States, besides competing in the German market. The evolution of our exports has been happening within an internationalization strategy that can be divided into 3 distinct phases indicated below: 1. Export via Foreign Representatives and Distributors In the period comprised between 1970 and 1990, we started exports to about 60 countries through trade representatives and distributors. This strategy allowed for the growth or our exports, opening markets to our products and knowledge of these products, customers and technologies abroad. However, our export increase became dependant on our representatives’ and distributors’ financial capacity abroad. 68 2. Export via Subsidiaries In the period comprised between 1991 and 1999, we started our internationalization process, by establishing subsidiaries in countries that we considered with good market potential, aimed at marketing, distributing, providing technical assistance and promoting our products abroad. In August 1991, we established Weg Electric Motors Corp., in the United States, in order to directly serve local manufacturers of local machines and equipment, in addition to collecting technological trends in the American market, the largest electric motor market in the world. In September 1992, we started expansion to Europe, by establishing Weg Europe S/A in Belgium. We successively established subsidiaries for marketing and distribution in Germany, in March 1995, in England, in November 1996 and in Sweden, France and Spain, during the year 1998. In order to consolidate our position in Mercosul, we established, in January 1994, Weg Equipamientos Electricos S/A, in Argentina. That same year, we also advanced in Asia, by establishing Weg Japan Co. Ltd. in Tokyo and, in August 1995, in the emerging Oceania market, by establishing Weg Australia Pty Ltda. On August 13th, 1999, we established Weg México S.A. de C.V., oriented towards exploring the Mexican market. In 2001, we established subsidiaries for distribution and marketing of our products in Venezuela and Italy. And in the course of 2003, we established subsidiaries in Chile and Colombia. Finally, in April 2004 we set up our most recent foreign subsidiary, Weg Electric India Private Limited, aimed at selling and distributing our products to the Indian market. The internationalization strategy via subsidiaries allowed for the creation of pre- and postsales service infrastructure and the expansion of our business with large resellers, service providers and end consumers, which are not served in the representative and distributor model. Self-management of our internationalization process allowed us to have greater flexibility and greater direct involvement with customers. It has also required greater investments in working capital for supporting our inventories and granting credit to our customers. 3. Development of Foreign Manufacturing Park In response to the emergence of economic blocks (Mercosur, NAFTA and European Community) we have adopted, as of 2000, the strategy of purchasing and/or implementing production units in South America, North America, Europe and Asia, aimed at obtaining greater competitiveness in these regions. In March and June 2000, respectively, we purchased Argentine companies Morchio y Benitez SAIC, manufacturer of electric motors for washing machines in clothes driers and Intermatic SACIF, manufacturer of molded box circuit breakers, both incorporated by WEG Equipamientos Electricos S/A in January 2002. In August 2000, we purchased Asea Brown 69 Boveri (ABB), in Mexico, a low-voltage electric motor factory, which was later incorporated to Weg México S.A. de C.V. In May 2002, we purchased the motor unit of the Efacec group, in Portugal. The unit was incorporated to WegEuro Indústrias Eléctricas S.A., a corporation that we established in Portugal on May 10th, 2002. Nowadays we are making efforts in order to acquire an electric motors fabric in China. Our foreign factories are aimed at: • • • • • expanding our universe of customers and large consumers, whose philosophy is purchasing products from local manufacturers only; setting up foreign factories in a more horizontal concept, chiefly oriented toward assembling products, taking advantage of parts of components manufacturing in Brazil, which, we believe, will result in increased exports by our units located in Brazil; reducing delivery term to foreign customers of products requiring adaptations and customization, taking into account that foreign factories are complementary to those in Brazil and are capable of adapting finished products coming from Brazil to local needs of the countries where they operate; reducing costs by improving logistics; and acquiring greater flexibility in production management in order to face issues such as changes in foreign exchange policies and non-customs barriers. 70 Our Businesses Overview We believe that our Group is currently the largest electric motor manufacturer in Brazil and Latin America. We further believe that we are among the largest manufacturers of this product in the world. We estimate that our electric motor domestic market share ranges between 75% and 89%, depending on the type of motor and market segment. In the global segment of electric motors, which operates US$ 8 billions per year, we estimate that our market share in this segment is 4%. We produce an average of 40,000 motors daily and 25,000 different types of motors yearly. Our gross operating revenue in the year 2003 totaled R$ 2,02 billion. Our companies employ approximately 12,100 people, of which 1,000 are allocated abroad. Our operations are concentrated in the city of Jaraguá do Sul, in the State of Santa Catarina, where our product research and development technological centers are located. We also have factories in Blumenau and Guaramirim, in Santa Catarina, and Guarulhos in São Paulo. We operate throughout Brazil, through commercial representatives, resellers and a broad technical assistance network. We also have strong international presence, by means of subsidiaries with headquarters and factories in Argentina, Mexico and Portugal and other subsidiaries that act as distribution and sales units in the United States, Venezuela, Germany, England, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Australia, Japan, Chile, Colombia and India. Our products are present in nearly 100 countries throughout the world.

To be a good corporate citizen, participating in community life and preserving the environment. 71 Our Vision We intend to be in the near future: The world’s largest manufacturer of low-voltage industrial electric motors. The leading company in Brazil and one of international reference in high-voltage motors, generators, drives, switches and electric motors for household appliances. A reference company in South America in industrial electrical-electronic systems, power generation system and transformers. We have been growing continuously since the early 70’s. Our sales growth in the past 5 years has been, on the average, over 21% per year. Our high electric motor domestic market share hampers our growth by increasing our market share and makes our sales growth dependent on the national economic growth. On the other hand, our foreign market sales are in an intensive expansion phase, growing from US$ 177 million in 2002 to about US$ 256 million in 2003, a growth around 45%.

Its main customers are metalworking firms, vehicle body assemblers, makers of tooling and equipment, and furniture makers. These customers are also consumers of the product lines of the other business units of our group, which shows the great synergy between Weg Química and our other business lines. Weg Química was responsible for 6% of our gross operating revenue in 2003. Products Our chemical unit is made up of the liquid and powder paint, electro-insulating varnish and resin production factories. These products are used by the durable consumer goods and capital goods industry in general, to paint and protect components and products. Weg Química products are divided into 5 lines: industrial, anti-corrosive, Petrobras, thinners and resale. 84 Productive Process A brief description of the powder and liquid paint productive process of our chemical division is found below: • Powdered Paint. They are 100% solid paints. Powder paint is a well-balanced mix of solid substances designed to decorate and protect a surface. Such substances are polymers, additive pigments and mineral loads, which, after being processed, are presented as a single substance, under the form of fine powder. This powder is applied at high temperatures. The end result is a highly resistant chemical and physical protective film that can be presented in several colors, glosses and finishing aspects. • Liquid Paints. The basic composition of liquid paints is loads, resins, solvents, pigments and reagents. These elements make up the formula according to the customer’s need, which is defined by application, that is, exposure to weather, intemperate weather and aggressive conditions, among other factors. The production process consists of the following stages: (i) weighing; (ii) dispersal; (iii) grinding; (iv) completion; (v) product characteristics adjustment (color, viscosity, gloss, among others) according to the customer’s pattern (vi) the quality center analyzes all paint characteristics (viscosity, solids, drying, gloss, among other factors) and makes final approval, and (vii) packing and identification with product code, batch, and validity date, and forwarding the report according to the customer’s request. Main Customers Weg Química’s main customers and their respective shares of the total sales of this business unit are: Customer Sérgio Augusto Medina Metalúrgica Duque S/A Marcopolo S/A Share 1.88% 1.62% 1.62% Main Competitors Weg Química’s main competitors in the domestic market are Akzo Nobel, Basf, Tintas Coral, ICI, Dupont and Sherwin Williams.

The partnership has a three-year duration and is in the initial operating phase. Manufacturing Parks We believe we have the largest manufacturing parks for electric motors in the world in this segment of production, and one of the most modern. This gives us the capacity to turn out more than 25,000 types of electric motors. Our production volume permits the scale gains necessary to compete globally and constitutes a barrier to the entry of new players. In 2003 we produced more than 9 million electric motors, a growth of 18,4% and 32,4% related to 2002 and 2001, when we produced approximately 7.6 million and 6.8 million electric motors, respectively. We also have, through our foreign subsidiaries, factories in Argentina, Mexico and Portugal. Notwithstanding our high production capacity, we continue making substantial outlays for modernization and expansion of our plants. These investments have average R$ 80 million a year over the past 5 years. Currently the idle capacity of our factories is on the order of 10%, considering the current production structure based mainly on 2 work shifts. Considering current production levels, according to the installed capacity, we have the flexibility to augment our production by about 20% without new relevant outlays on fixed assets. With continual investments in modernization and expansion, we have managed to boost our output and grow in recent years. (a) Manufacturing Park I Inaugurated still in the 1960’s, our industrial park called Manufacturing Park I is located in the central region of Jaraguá do Sul – SC, and has a 31 thousand m²-built-up area and 53 thousand m²-total area, currently housing the following departments: (i) Foundry; (ii) Winding, Assembly and Shipment; (iii) Tool Room; (iv) Product Research and Development; (v) Quality Engineering; (vi) Capacitor Factory; (vii) Weg Training Center (CentroWeg); and (viii) Customer Training Center (CTC).

Technological Research and Development activities are part of our Technological Development Program (PDT), which is the instrument responsible for systemizing our Research and Development activities. On June 30th, 2004, we had more than approximately 500 engineers and 100 medium-level technicians involved with these activities. Each sector of our Group has, in addition to its specific activities, the role of creating, developing and setting the pertinent technology to its area. Our research and development lines are established in a general manner from three prioritized areas: New Technologies, Optimization and Materials, and can be grouped in nine categories, as follows: • • • • • • • • • Development of new products; Optimization of current products; Benchmarking; Development of new technologies (new conceptions); Analysis and testing techniques of their products; Software development for product calculation and optimization; Development of magnetic, electrical, and insulating materials; Development of methods for product life cycle evaluation; Development of physical and chemical testing methods in materials and components. Our Research and Development Department has the Chemical, Physical Laboratories, Insulating and Magnetic Materials, Mechanical Essays and Benchmarking. Our technological research and development center, located in Manufacturing Park I, has as its main purpose the development, coordination, follow-up and guidance and all performed research activities. The company also hires specialized consultants and has agreements with universities and research institutions aimed at constant updating of technological knowledge. Scientific and Technological Committee In 1998, we created a Scientific and Technological Committee, a discussion forum aimed at following up on electro-electronic technology trends for industrial use (motors, generators, transformers, contactors, drives) and more specifically technological trend of motors and drives, in order to keep ourselves updated in relation to the latest world trend and allow for development of innovating products, through partnerships with universities and research institutes. 96 Most of the jobs growing out of the Scientific and Technological Committee’s presentations and discussion start out as “knowledge acquisition”, which after due maturation in the engineering areas result in products, either through innovation or small improvements, or further as engineering tools helping us to develop and optimize our products. The Committee is made up of our executive officers and managers and PhDs from the most respected Brazilian and foreign universities, among which we highlight the Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro – UFRJ, Hanover and Wuppertal Universities, both from Germany and the University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA. The Scientific and Technological Committee’s activities include: • • • • • • • evaluating our Research and Development Plan; proposing themes for research and development of new products as a result of technological trends; suggesting excellence centers (research centers and universities) in Brazil and foreign for technological development of our products, seeking approach and development of good relationship with these centers; evaluating our technological shortages (personnel, infrastructure, knowledge, etc) and suggesting measures to minimize them; suggesting and evaluating opportunities for purchasing or hiring technology and consultants in the electro-electronic area; following up, evaluating and suggesting eventual route corrections in ongoing researches; proposing themes for research and development of new materials in order to optimize current products. The committee meets approximately every nine-month for a two-day period. At the meeting, Research and Development strategic themes are discussed and the professors make technical presentations on recent or ongoing researches at their universities to our Research and Engineering areas. Customer Training Center (CTC) Another great differential to our group is our Customer Training Center. Also known by the acronym “CTC”, The Customer Training Center is made up of laboratories equipped with educational benches, classrooms and a 100-seat auditorium, its own instructors, in addition to a 1,200 m2-infrastructure especially designed for developing technical courses with emphasis on synergy modules. The programming also includes training in administration, sales, marketing and various other courses. Approximately 2,500 customers per year receive training at the CTC. 97 In 2003, 2002 and 2001, the CTC consumed investments around R$ 794 thousand, R$ 769 thousand and R$ 655 thousand, respectively. Our investment forecast for the year 2004 is R$ 1.1 million, being that in the first semester we invested approximately R$ 416 thousand. Sales Process In the domestic market, we have sold our products directly to resellers, equipment makers (original equipment manufacturers - OEMs), household appliance manufacturers, generator group manufacturers and industries in general and infrastructure, such as sanitation and public works, which use Weg products in their installations. Our sales in Brazil are made with an average 30-day billing term. In the international market, our sales are made through our foreign subsidiaries, or in countries where we do not have a local operation, through direct export to our foreign distributors and representatives. Our exports, both to our foreign subsidiaries and to our foreign representatives and distributors, are made through Weg Exportadora, which purchases the products from Weg Indústrias and organizes and implements the export logistics. Our pricing policy toward our foreign subsidiaries is to maintain profit margins in Brazil, the foreign subsidiaries being challenged to cover internment and commercial operation costs abroad. The average billing term of foreign sales is 70 days, and may vary from country to country. Distribution of our Products Many of our customers are located far from our production and distribution centres. To make sure our products reach our domestic and foreign customers, we use highway and ship transport in Brazil. Our exports go through the ports of São Francisco do Sul and Itajaí in Santa Catarina, located 60 km and 90 km, respectively, from our main manufacturing park in Jaraguá do Sul. Main Raw Materials and Suppliers The main inputs used in our production lines are steel slabs and copper. In 2001, 2002 and 2003, these inputs accounted for 40% of total cost of products sold. The charts below indicate our main input suppliers in the national and international markets. 98 Brazilian Suppliers Share in total inputs consumed in Raw Material Copper Supplier Caraíba Metais S/A Usinas Sid.

Eastmann, Basf Renk Aktiengesellschaft WEK Fiscal Incentives We have a fiscal incentive pursuant to Decree 3800/01, which enables us to reduce IPI (Excise Tax on Manufactured Products) rates, having as a counterpart investments in research. In order to be entitled to this benefit we must invest at least 5% of our gross revenue in the domestic market with marketing of computing goods and services. A statement is presented below of our revenues and IPI reduction for the years 2002 and 2003: Amounts in R$ Period Quarters 2002 2003 Total 6,122,539 13,245,202 Investment in Research Internal External 1,046,580 697,721 2,493,219 1,662,145 Fund 193,811 461,707 19,367,741 3,539,799 655,518 Revenue IPI Reduction 46,507,230 107,002.598 153,509,828 2,359,866 The table below shows applicable IPI tax rates, observing that the tax rate without incentive is 15%: Year 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 to 2009 IPI Tax Rate % 1.50 2.25 3.00 3.75 4.5 Reduction % 90 85 80 75 70 99 Tax Recovery Program (REFIS) On December 12th, 2000 our Company adhered to the Tax Recovery Program (REFIS), a government program allowing installment payment of tax debts, in order to reduce our fiscal contingencies, choosing to pay them in 60 months, with a final deadline of 2005. The outstanding balance is updated at the Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP). The table below shows the amounts relative to REFIS: In R$ thousand Long-term Short-term Total Company 06/30/04 12/31/03 126 133 0 56 126 189 Consolidated 06/30/04 12/31/03 4,682 4,933 0 2,056 4,682 6,989 Insurance Our insurance policies cover (i) certain named risks, such as fire, explosion, lightning strike and other events of the same nature, lost profits in relation to the chemical unit, aircraft crash, electrical damages, machine breakage, brush fires in rural zones, among others; (ii) general civil liability, (iii) products; (iv) international transportation; (v) domestic transportation; and (vi) vehicle fleet. Amounts are contracted on technical bases and considered sufficient for covering eventual losses resulting from losses with permanent asset goods and inventories, whose declared amount is R$761,524,000. Human Resources On June 30th, 2004, our Company had a total of 12.098 employees (who we call collaborators) mainly concentrated in WEG Indústrias. The table below shows the evolution of our staff over the past three years, broken down by professional category and geographic location: December 31st, 2002 2003 2001 Total number of employees Number per professional category: Technical and operational Administrative / Financial Commercial Number of employees per company WEG S.A. Weg Indústria Weg Indústria, per location: Jaraguá do Sul Guaramirim Blumenau São Paulo Weg Exportadora Foreign Subsidiaries June 30th, 2004 9,254 10,152 11,294 12,098 6,805 1,106 809 7,191 1,186 1,019 7,884 1,336 1,126 8,430 1,471 1,202 8,645 9,310 10,238 10,985 6,972 409 604 660 75 534 7,472 420 536 882 86 756 8,377 433 533 895 108 948 9,008 482 593 902 118 995 100 The average length of service of our employees is, approximately, 10 years. We believe on the whole that those relations with our employees are good. Practically all of our employees at the non-administrative level are unionized. The unions that represent them are: Sindicato dos Trabalhadores nas Indústrias Metalúrgicas, Mecânicas, de Materiais Elétricos, de Motores Elétricos, de Máquinas, de Peças para Reparação de Veículos, de Fundição e de Oficinas de Jaraguá do Sul e Região (Union of Workers in the Metallurgy, Mechanical, Electrical Materials, Electric Motors, Machinery, Vehicle Repair Parts, Metal Casting and Repair Shop Industries of Jaraguá do Sul and Region); Sindicato dos Trabalhadores nas Indústrias Químicas, Plásticos, Borrachas, Papel e Isopor do Município de Jaraguá do Sul, Corupá, Guaramirim, Massaranduba e Schroeder (Union of Workers in the Chemical, Plastic, Rubber, Paper and Styrofoam Industries of the Minicipalities of Jaraguá do Sul, Corupá, Guaramirim, Massaranduba and Schroeder); Sindicato dos Trabalhadores nas Indústrias Metal Mecânicas e de Material Elétrico de Blumenau (Union of Workers in the Metalworking and Electrical Material Industries of Blumenau); and Sindicato dos Trabalhadores nas Indústrias Metalúrgicas, Mecânicas e de Material Eléctrico de Guarulhos (Union of Workers in the Metallurgy and Electircal Material Industryies of Guarulhos). Each year we negotiate collective bargaining agreements with these unions establishing the levels of pay and fringe benefits of our employees. In January, May, August and November, we negotiate collective agreements with our employees, represented by their unions. Our current collective bargaining agreements are, in general, do not stipulate any tenured employment. We have no formal voluntary severance program, particularly because the Company has been growing and requiring increasing amounts of labor over the past 3 years. Our system of wage administration seeks to allow us to establish a fair and competitive policy. For this purpose, we seek to: (i) determine pay structures able to attract and retain the type of labor we need; (ii) establish the duties of each function within the organization through job descriptions; (iii) determine the amounts related to each position through our evaluation by points; (iv) prepare rules to assure equitable treatment; and (v) establish a policy compatible with the market. The only strike we have suffered in the past 15 years was in 1989. Thee are approximately 80 labor suits pending against our Group, the great majority of them filed by former employees. We believe that any decisions against the companies of our Group will not taken individually or together have a materially adverse effect on our operating results or financial condition. Benefits In 1991, we constituted the WEG Seguridade Social, a closed complementary pension fund under a defined contribution plan, aiming to ensure earnings, retirement and other benefits to our former employees and their families. Both our companies and our employees make contributions to the plan. We contributed R$ 5.153 million in 2003, R$ 4.040 million in 2002 and R$ 3.649 million in 2001. We also made contributions of R$ 3.228 million for the first semester of 2004 ended on June 30. 101 On June 30th, 2004, the assets of WEG Seguridade Social reached R$ 123.1 million, with 9,275 contributors. The Fund currently has a surplus. The benefits offered by WEG Seguridade Social are: (i) supplementary sick leave pay; (ii) supplementary retirement due to disability; (iii) supplementary benefit for retirement for length of service; (iv) supplementary annual bonus; (v) supplementary death survivorship pension; and (vi) death benefit. Our Group’s human resources policy includes granting of benefits that include, among others, medical-hospital assistance; dental assistance (110% paid by the companies); daycare reimbursement; exceptional assistance; food assistance; life insurance; complementary sick leave assistance; scholarship program; prizes; retirement; complementary retirement plan; and assistance for transfer. Our employees also receive the following benefits, which are granted by means of agreements with the respective unions for each category and for each company of our Group, by signing collective bargaining agreements: • • • • • • • • Profit Sharing (described below) Medical-hospital assistance Life Insurance Dental Plan (100% paid by the company) Health Plan Life Insurance Private Pension At-company meals (company cafeteria) Our investments in employee benefits totaled R$9.6 million in 2003, and R$ 7.5 million and R$ 6.7 million in 2002 and 2001 respectively. Profit Sharing Program The Weg Quality and Productivity Program was conceived in 1991. The program’s permanent guideline is to attain international quality and productivity standards, making our products and services competitive worldwide. Broadly speaking, the program aims at awakening awareness and stimulated readiness of our employees to solve problems and take advantage of improvement opportunities, seeking continued quality and productivity gains both in product manufacturing and service rendering, as well as in the overall corporate performance, sector by sector. The program sets specific objectives in the beginning of each year. Income sharing is distributed together with dividend payment to shareholders. In the year 2003, every employee received an average of 3.60 salaries thanks to the profit sharing programs. On December 31st, 2003 and 2002 and 2001, approximately R$44 million, R$30 million and R$ 24 millions were paid, respectively, for distribution to our employees. 102 Profit sharing has a motivational plan as its basis, which sets distribution of up to 12.5% of our profits (consolidated balance sheet), if the profit equivalent to 6% of net worth existing on December 31st of the previous year is attained. Profit sharing takes into consideration performance evaluation, and is divided as follows: • 1/3 is destined to all employees, proportionately to the salary of each one, being that the condition for this distribution is that our consolidated profit is higher than 6% of net worth. • 1/3 is destined to the employees of each unit, proportionately to the score obtained by the respective unit in the evaluation, being that the condition for this condition is the existence of profit (activity result). • 1/3 is destined to the employees of each department, proportionately to the score obtained by the employee referring to fulfillment of given goals. The Weg Quality and Productivity Program is made up of four specific sub-programs: (a) Specific Goal Program. Encompasses quality, productivity improvement studies and product cost reduction and services in general. (b) Technological Development Program. Includes research and development and significant improvements in products, processes and materials, as well as industrial automation projects. (c) Standardization Program. Encompasses technical, operational and administrative standards, including procedure, standardization, testing method specification, classification, symbology and product, process and materials terminology, as well as quality and managerial systems. (d) Work Safety Program. This program, integrated to the PWQP as of 1995, encompasses improvements toward safety in its several aspects. Training and Development We invested around 1% of our gross revenue in 2003 in various employee training and development programs in Brazil and abroad. Among these programs, the CentroWeg stands out as one of the largest company professional training schools in Brazil. Founded on April 23, 1968, CentroWeg’s main objective is to train and develop the competencies of minor apprentices, qualifying them for full job mastery in activities that require specific technical skills. Currently CentroWeg offers courses in the areas of electricity, electronics, maintenance and tooling mechanics, mechatronics and chemistry. The training of persons fully qualified to assume the specific jobs required by our Group is a source of great pride to us. Besides training minor apprentices, CentroWeg trains adults, with a 540-hour course in general mechanics. This course seeks to upgrade existing skills or teach a profession to our employees and has facilitated the access to promotions and enabled better performance. 103 The minor students at CentroWeg are chosen from candidates from the entire micro-region, aged between 15 and 16, who have completed their primary schooling. The selection process includes informative presentations about the courses and future areas in which the company will be active and psychological tests, pedagogic assessment and a newly devised practical test (lasting one week) for those chosen for the last step, called the Acclimation Week. After the training period, which takes two or three years depending on the hourly class load, the students are referred for internships in the areas of interest to incorporate them into the regular staff. CentroWeg is presently established in an area of 2,640 m2 and has already graduated more than 2,500 technical staff since its foundation, of whom 75% remain employed by us, thus assuring a source of qualified labor. Our investments in training and development were on the order of R$ 7.5 million in 2003, R$ 5.7 million in 2002 and R$ 4.0 million in 2001. Our forecast for outlays in 2004 is R$ 8.3 million, of which R$ 4.7 million was spent in the first semester this year. Participative Management Participative management is a method of working that aims to eliminate barriers between the departments of the Group’s companies, fostering cooperation among the various areas, which enables an analysis of the same theme from different perspectives of the sectors involved, along with internal suppliers and customers. The participative management system is totally integrated in the daily activities of our Company. It includes 5 spheres of decision: (i) collegial among the executives of all the Group’s business units; (ii) executive board of each of the Group’s business units; (iii) committees of executives; (iv) commissions of managers and chiefs; and (v) Quality Control Circles (QCCs). At the joint meetings of the executive boards, questions of common interest of all our Group’s lines of business are decided. At the individual meetings of the executive boards of each business unit decisions are taken that affect only that particular unit. The meetings of the executive committees establish and implement our Group’s strategic guidelines. There are more than 50 commissions of managers and chiefs. They deal with specific subjects of their areas. Among these commissions are those on procurement (which approves all purchases above R$ 3 thousand); finances (which proposes and approves loans according to the “credit limit policy”); and marketing (which approves the marketing plan). There are more than 360 Quality Control Circles, composed of a total of 2,700 employees, which deal with subjects seeking: (i) process improvements (whether industrial, engineering, accounting, managerial, etc.; (ii) product quality; and (iii) occupational safety. The participants in the QCCs do not receive additional pay, but gain prizes, training trips and the opportunity for personal development and to contribute to improve the daily routines of their work areas. 104 Marketing Relationship is the key word of our marketing plan: relationship of data and relationship among people. Since our inception, people have been one of our strongest points. Our relationship matrix is divided into four steps: Identification, Differentiation, Interaction and Customization. In practical terms, we treat different customers differently. To do this, we invest in a database to know our customers fully: who makes the decisions, market share, purchase history and other management information that enables us to create filters to differentiate customers by category, permitting creation of projects for interaction focused on the customer. With this information, we define and optimize the investment in events, technical seminars, trade fairs, press relations, Internet and advertising, among others. Intellectual Property Our Group has a policy of protecting our trademarks in the various countries where we are active or intend to be. We see to the renewal of these registrations according to the respective periods in force, normally 10 years. Our principal mark, “WEG”, is registered with the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (Industrial Property Institute - INPI), with term for use valid up to May 2, 2009, renewable for equal and successive periods. It is also registered in 68 other countries. We currently have nearly 20 patents granted or in the examination phase with the INPI and similar organs abroad. Over the past 3 years, we have filed 9 patent applications with the INPI and equivalent foreign organs. Our main patents cover improvements to electric motors. Regulatory Aspects Our activities are not subject to the regulation of any specific agency or organ. Our products are compliant with all the rules and specifications of the National Institute of Metrology, Normalization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO) and the quality certification entities and organs of the countries where we are present, among which we can highlight: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (United States), Bureau Veritas Quality International (England), CSA International (Canada), Asociación de Normalización Y Certificación, AC. (México), Instituto Argentino de Mormalización (Argentina), South African Bureau of Standards (South Africa), and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (Germany). We are subject to Brazilian labor, environmental, commercial, tax and other laws in the normal course of our business, and the operations of our foreign subsidiaries are subject to the laws of their respective countries. 105 Environment Our Group actively seeks to minimize the impact of its operations on the environment, making ongoing investments in this area. Taking effective actions for self-sustainable development has been part of our Group’s culture since our founding over 40 years ago. These investments also benefit us by reducing the marginal production costs by increasing efficiency in the use of raw materials. We also carry out educational efforts relative to our operations and the environment among the local population. Environmental Legislation. The Brazilian Federal Constitution grants concurrent competence to the federal as well as state governments to legislate and regulate on environmental matters. The environmental laws of the states where we have industrial activities, along with the applicable general rules, contain certain specificities regarding our activity. The standards are established in the environmental licenses (prior site study licenses, construction licenses and operating licenses) issued for each of our factories. The operating licenses are subject to renewal, and can therefore be modified from one year to the next. We are fully covered by our current environmental operating licenses and do not expect to be affected materially be any more rigorous environmental conditions, although there is no guarantee of this. Our liquid effluents, solid waste and atmospheric emissions are in line with all applicable laws and regulations of all the states where we conduct our industrial activities. We do not forecast having to make significant expenditures to continue meeting the existing or proposed environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, there are no guarantees that stricter environmental legislation enacted in the future will not demand extraordinary expenditures to acquire fixed assets on our part. Atmospheric Emission Levels. We have made significant investments over the years in smokestack filters, gas scrubbers, catalytic burners for solvents and to develop new operating procedures aimed at reducing our levels of atmospheric emissions. Liquid Effluents. Water is important to our manufacturing processes in general. We obtain water from the rivers near our factories. Our Manufacturing Parks II (Weg Motores and Weg Automação), III (Weg Química) and IV (Weg Transformadores), located respectively in Jaraguá do Sul, Guaramirim and Blumenau, have effluent treatment stations. The processes used to treat these effluents are physical-chemical and biological. After treatment, the effluents are returned to the rivers, according to the parameters established by current legislation. The effluents generated in the industrial processes of our Manufacturing Park I and part of Park II are sent for treatment at the station of Park III. The characteristics of the effluents are monitored constantly through chemical, physical and biological analyses. Solid Wastes. The great majority of our solid industrial wastes are recycled. Scrap from the processing of steel slabs and machining of cast iron parts, for example, is reused in our productive process. Our paper, cardboard and plastic trash is also collected for recycling. Wastes that are not recycled are disposed of in industrial landfills or sent for co-processing in cement furnaces. We are building a specific industrial landfill for our foundry wastes, 106 with a projected useful life of 18 years. The first step of this landfill is scheduled for conclusion in August 2004. Preservation of Native Vegetation. All the wood we use comes from tree plantations instead of native stands. We currently have 4,200 hectares of preserved native forests and 6,000 hectares of planted forests to supply wood for our packaging crates. The lands we use are generally not of high enough quality for other forms of agriculture. Every year we plant more trees for our own future use than we fell. The cultivation techniques seek to preserve the health of our forests. In the occupation of areas of silviculture and ranching, we always preserve more than 20% of the native vegetation. Environmental Certification. Our Manufacturing Parks I and III are certified according to the requirements of ISO 14001. We are in the process of obtaining such environmental certification for Park II. This will complete the certification process of all our units located in Jaranguá do Sul and Guaramirim. The forecast for certification of Park II is by the end of 2004. The requirements for environmental certification include: (i) establishment of an environmental management policy; (ii) study of environmental aspects and impacts; (iii) compliance with applicable legislation; and (iv) establishment of procedures for operational control, emergency response, communication with interested parties, internal audits of the Environmental Management System, critical analysis by upper management, monitoring and measurement, treatment of nonconformities and corrective and preventive actions. Prizes and Certificates For us, a prize, more than a trophy or a certificate, is recognition by the market. Therefore, we are proud of each one of the many prizes we have received over our history.

On July 2003, our industrial plants named Manufacturing Parks I and III also received a certification of their environment administration systems. 110 Green Life Environemnt Park Project The city of Chapecó (SC) has few green and recreation areas to the society. The majority of the population survives upon the activity of the collection of recycling material. The Green Life Environment Park Project seeks teenagers aged from 14 to 17 years of the Bom Pastor neighborhood in Chapecó, upon the construction of the Vida Verde school in a local park. The project plant is already approved and awaits financings so that the works can be started. The project has an estimated value of R$ 2 millions. Santuário Rã-Bugio Project The Rã-Bugio Institute for the Conservation of the Biodiversity is a non-governmental organization with head offices in Guaramirim (SC) and was created on April 5, 2003, as an association. The institute develops research and projects regarding environment education in the north region of the Santa Catarina State, intending to save the remaining of the floresta atlântica. In addition to the above-mentioned programs and projects, we allocate funds to the community, especially and the culture, education and citizenship areas. In 2003, we allocated funds to the fire brigade, artistic cultural society (SCAR) and other social entities in the amount of R$2.0 million, being this R$1.5 million in 2002. In September 2003, we opened the WEG Museum with R$1.7 million investments, aimed at portraying our history, preserving and transmitting our organization’s culture to our employees and society and stimulating science and technology development. 111 OUR GROUP’S MANAGEMENT Weg Group Convention Our Company, WEG Indústrias and WEG Exportadora are part of a corporate group, pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law, whose establishment convention, signed on November 4th, 1981, has been amended four times, the last one, which consolidated it, dated October 15th, 2002 (the “Convention”). The Convention establishes that we are the controlling company of the WEG Group (“WEG Group”) and that WEG Indústrias and WEG Exportadora are affiliated corporations (the “subsidiaries”), being that this relationship will be expressed by obligatory use of the designation “WEG Group” added by the company names of the corporations that have adhered to the Convention. In accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law, corporate groups do not have their own legal personalities, being obligated, however, to publish, in addition to financial statements of each one of the corporations that are part of them, consolidated financial statements.

Our Bylaws set forth that General Shareholders’ Meetings shall have the duties granted to them by the Brazilian Corporations Law. The shareholders may be represented in General Meeting by their proxy so appointed less than 1 year before such meeting and who is our shareholder, our administrator or a lawyer, provided that his capacity as such is proven in a special power of attorney which is to be filed at our head office, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law. The General Meeting may, at any time, deliberate on transforming our corporate type, in accordance with the legislation in force. Furthermore, General Meetings shall comply with all other legal provisions applicable to open companies including concerning the installation quorum. Right of Removal The Brazilian Corporations Law sets forth that, in restricted circumstances, shareholders dissenting from given General Meeting deliberations (even though they have not attended the General Meeting or have abstained from voting) are entitled to remove themselves from our Company, being refunded for the amount of their shares. Dissenting shareholders may perform the right of removal in case any of the deliberations indicated below is approved in the General Meeting: • • • • • • • • • • creation of preferred shares or increase of existing preferred share class without keeping proportion to the other preferred share classes, being understood that the right of removal shall only be performed by the damaged shareholders; change in preferred shares, advantages and redemption or amortization conditions of one or more classes of preferred shares, or creation of a new more favored class, being understood that the right of removal shall only be performed by the damaged shareholders; reduction of mandatory dividend; merger of our Company, or our amalgamation into another one; interest in a group of corporations, according to the definition contained in the Brazilian Corporation Law, by observing the conditions set forth therein; change in our corporate purpose; stoppage of liquidation status of our Company; spit-up of our Company implying (i) a change in our corporate purpose (except when the split equity goes into a corporation which predominant activity is similar to that of the split-up company); (ii) the reduction of mandatory dividend e (iii) to join a groups of corporations; transformation of our Company into another corporate type; dissolution of our Company; 130 • • transfer of all shares issued by us to another company in order to make it become a whollyowned subsidiary of the company in question, an operation called upstream merger, according to the Brazilian Corporation Law, by observing the conditions set forth therein; or purchase of control from another corporation by a price exceeding the limits set forth by the Brazilian Corporation Law. The right of removal shall be performed by dissenting shareholders in up to 30 days starting on the publication of the General Meeting minute that has approved any of the abovedescribed corporate deliberations and shall only be performed by those damaged shareholders, as set forth in the Brazilian Corporations Law. We are authorized to reconsider any of our deliberations that cause the right of removal in the 10 subsequent days to the expiry of the term for performing this right in case the stock refund of dissenting shareholders jeopardizes our financial stability, being understood that the refund for the amount of shares is due only upon execution of the transaction approved. The Brazilian Corporations Law authorizes companies to refund shares of dissenting shareholders for their economic value, by observing the provisions contained in the respective Bylaws and other legal requirements. Our Bylaws sets forth that shares integrating our capital stock be refunded for their economic value. Consequently, every eventual refund of shares issued by our Company shall be made based on the equity (accounting) value of our shares, determined in our latest balance sheet approved by the shareholders. However, in case a General Shareholders’ Meeting deliberating about matters causing the right of removal occurs after 60 days starting on the date our Company’s latest balance sheet was disclosed, any shareholder may require that his shares be evaluated based on a new balance sheet to be made in up to 60 days starting on the date the respective General Shareholder’s Meeting was held. As set forth in the Brazilian Corporations Law, the right of removal based on the fourth, fifth and ninth above-described items may only be performed by shareholders in case: • • shares have no liquidity, namely, they have no general representative index of security portfolio admitted for trading in Brazil or abroad, as defined by the CVM; and there is no dispersal, that is, when WEG Participações or other companies under its control hold more than half of the kind or class of stocks. Our preferred shares are not part of the general representative index of securities admitted for trading on the securities market in Brazil (São Paulo Stock Exchange Index– IBOVESPA). The right of removal may also be performed in the hypothesis that the company resulting from upstream merger, merger, amalgamation or split-up of our Company does not have its shares admitted for trading on a stock exchange within 120 days starting on the date when the General Meeting approved the deliberation. Redemption of Shares According to the Brazilian Corporations Law, our company-issued shares may be redeemed by means of our Company shareholders’ determination at the Extraordinary General Meeting, by observing the conditions set forth in the referred to law. 131 Reserves The Company has the following reserve accounts: Profit Reserves. Comprise the statutory reserve, realizable profits reserve, contingency reserve and profits withholding reserve. • Statutory Reserve. According to the Brazilian Corporations Law, the Company must keep a statutory reserve, to which it must allocate 5% of the net profit earned in each accounting year, until the reserve amount is equal to 20% of our capital stock. Nevertheless, the Company is not obligated to make any allocation to the statutory reserve in relation to any accounting year in which the statutory reserve, when added by other established capital reserves, exceeds 30% of our capital stock. Eventual losses may be debited to the statutory reserve. The General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting must approve the amount of profits allocated to forming the statutory reserve and, once this allocation is approved, these amounts shall not be available for dividend payment. The statutory reserve may be used to increase the Company’s capital stock. On June 30th, 2004, the Company had no balance in its statutory reserve, once the balance of approximately R$ 15.4 million, which was equal to approximately 2.6% of our Company’s paid-in capital, had been fully used to increase our paid-in capital stock, as established in our General Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting dated April 5th, 2004. • Realizable Profits Reserve. According to the Brazilian Corporation Law, in the accounting year in which the mandatory dividend amount exceeds the realized portion of net profit, the surplus may be allocated to establishing a realizable profits reserve. According to the Brazilian Corporation Law, the portion of the period’s net profit exceeding the sum of one of the following amounts is considered to be realized: • o o the positive net income of equity accounting and the profit, gain or yield in operations whose financial realization term occurs after the following accounting year end. o Reversion of Profits Realized. Profits accounted for the realizable profits reserve must be added to the first divided declared after their realization, if they are not absorbed by losses in subsequent years. On June 30th, 2004, the Company had no realizable profits reserve balance. Contingency Reserve. According to the Bylaws, part of the net profit may be allocated to the contingency reserve in order to make for, in a future year, the decrease of profit resulting from a loss deemed probable, whose amount can be estimated. Any thus allocated amount in a previous year must be reverted in the accounting year in which it is found that the predicted loss will not occur, or must be cancelled and written off in the event the predicted loss actually occurs. On June 30th, 2004, the Company had no contingency reserve balance. 132 • Profits withholding reserve. According to the Brazilian Corporation Law, the General Assembly may deliberate on withholding part of the year’s net profit forecasted in capital budget, previously approved by our Company’s General Meeting, which may last up to 5 years, and indicate all the sources of our Company’s funds and capital investments, fixed or short-termed, which shall be yearly reviewed by the General Ordinary Meeting, in case its duration surpasses one accounting year. On June 30th, 2004, the balance of this reserve was, approximately, R$ 129.7 million. Capital Reserves. Our Company’s capital reserves consist of share premium reserve, tax incentives and investment subsidies, as allowed by the legislation in force. The amounts allocated to the capital reserve are not considered for the effect of determining the mandatory dividend. On June 30th, 2004, the Company had no capital reserve balance. • Revaluation Reserve. The revaluation reserve is divided into two different subaccounts, being the first related to our own assets and the second related to the assets belonging to our Subsidiaries, being understood that in the latter the contra-entry related to the registries accounted for in the Investment account in Subsidiaries shall be accounted for, pursuant to the equity accounting method. On June 30th, 2004, the balance of this reserve was, approximately, R$ 9.088 million, accounted for in the Subsidiaries’ sub-account. Dividend Policy The Company’s preferred shares grant to their holders participation in dividend distribution in equal conditions with the Company’s other shares. As set forth in article 38 of our Company’s Article of Incorporation, after ascertaining each accounting year’s income and making all applicable legal deductions, our Company shall distribute dividends and/or interest on shareholders’ equity imputed to the dividends in the minimum mandatory percentage of 25% on the net profit adjusted according to article 202 of the Brazilian Corporation Law. As set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, income distribution under the form of interest on shareholders’ equity allows us the treatment as deductible expenses for corporate income tax and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) purposes. Furthermore, after making all distributions and deductions, as set forth above, the balance found can also be distributed to our shareholders in the form of dividends. In this case, our Board of Directors will decide: • • on the amount of interest on shareholders’ equity to be paid to shareholders, in kind or “in natura”, wholly or partly; and on the refutation or deduction of the mandatory dividend, of the amount of interests credited or paid to shareholders under the title of shareholders’ equity compensation. In this context, in case we raise a half-yearly balance sheet according to the legislation in force, our Board of Directors may declare intermediate dividend distribution and/or interest on shareholders’ equity, according to Law No. 9.249/95. In this case, declared dividends will 133 be taken to the account of profits earned in this half-yearly balance sheet, as set forth in article 204 of the Brazilian Corporation Law. Unclaimed dividends in 3 years, starting on the date when they were placed at the disposal of shareholders, are reverted in our favor, according to the Brazilian Corporation Law and our Bylaws. Our Company makes yearly dividend distribution. In the past 4 (four) years, we have distributed dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity in a percentage exceeding 30% of our net profit. The table below shows dividend on interest distributions made by the Company between 1998 and 2004: Type of Proceeds Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Dividends Dividends Dividends Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Dividends Approval Date Relating to Payment Start Limitation Amount per Share (R$) 07/16/1998 1st Half/1998 08/17/1998 08/17/2001 0.017647 12/18/1998 Complement 1998 03/15/1999 03/15/2002 0.0025 12/18/1998 Complement 1998 03/15/1999 03/15/2002 0.032353 07/20/1999 1st Half/1999 08/16/1999 08/16/2002 0.022941 12/16/1999 Complement 1999 03/13/2000 03/13/2003 0.021764 07/13/2000 1st Half/2000 08/21/2000 08/21/2003 0.03294118 12/14/2000 Complement 2000 03/14/2001 03/14/2004 0.03176471 02/15/2001 Complement 2000 06/13/2001 03/14/2001 03/14/2004 0.01 st 08/20/2001 08/20/2004 0.03176471 st 1 Half/2001 06/13/2001 1 Half/2001 08/20/2001 08/20/2004 0.013 12/13/2001 Complement 2001 03/11/2002 03/11/2005 0.03764706 12/13/2001 07/18/2002 02/13/2003 07/17/2003 Complement 2001 1st Half/2002 1st Half/2002 1st Half/2003 03/11/2002 08/09/2002 03/10/2003 08/18/2003 03/11/2005 08/09/2005 03/10/2006 08/18/2006 0.028 0.05 0.095 0.0725 07/17/2003 1st Half/2003 08/18/2003 08/18/2006 0.008823544 12/11/2003 Complement 2003 03/17/2004 03/17/2007 0.008235294 02/12/2004 07/23/2004 Complement 2003 1st Half/2004 03/17/2004 08/18/2004 03/17/2007 08/18/2004 0.114 0.140 Stock Register The institution in charge of our stock bookkeeping is Bradesco. Our stock transfer is done by means of an entry by Bradesco in its register systems to the debit of the transferor’s share account and credit to the buyer’s share account, by means of a written order from the transferor or by a judicial order or authorization. 134 Relevant Act or Fact Disclosure According to legal provisions, our Company must inform the CVM and BOVESPA the occurrence of any act or fact concerning our business, and must also widely disclose it in the newspapers in which we usually publish our financial statements a notice on such act or fact. An act or fact is considered relevant if it affects the price of securities issued by us, decision by investors to trade securities issued by us or the decision by investors to perform any of the rights in quality of our security holders. In exceptional cases, which in our Administrators’ understanding may cause losses to the Company, we may apply for an authorization by the CVM for a confidential treatment concerning the notified matter. Trading Disclosure by WEG Participações, Administrators and Statutory Audit Committee Members WEG Participações, in the quality of our controlling company, our Administrators and Statutory Audit Committee members are obligated to communicate to the CVM and BOVESPA the quantity and characteristics of our securities, including derivatives, held by them or by spouses, mates and dependents, as already set forth in the Company’s Stock Trading and Disclosure Policy Manual, within the period and conditions stipulated by applicable CVM regulation. Our manual establishes the policy for the disclosure of information which aims to make available to investors and the public in general acts and facts related to the Company’s activities, pursuant to the rules established by the CVM. Furthermore, because we have adhered to Corporate Governance Level 1, there are other rules to be complied with. For further information, see item “Bovespa Level 1”.

CVM and BOVESPA are empowered to, discretionarily, suspend trading on shares issued by our Company in special circumstances. Settlement of operations performed on the BOVESPA occurs in 3 business days after trading date. We adhered to BOVESPAS’s Corporate Governance Level 1 as soon as it was launched in June 2001. According to the Corporate Governance Differentiated Practice Regulation (the “Regulation”), companies adhering to Level 1 shall commit themselves, primarily, to adopting corporate government practices and disclosure in addition to those required by the legislation. The main practices to be complied with by our Company because we are part of the select group of open companies that have adhered to BOVESPAS’s Corporate Governance Level 1: • • • • • Free Float. We must keep a portion of the outstanding shares issued by us representing, at least, 25% of our total capital stock, including after capital increases and control transfers, observing that, in these cases, in the event this minimum percentage is not respected, the Company will be granted a 6-month- period to reset this minimum percentage; In case of making public stock distribution, we must exert our best efforts in order to attain stock dispersal, by adopting special procedures, including concerning assuring access to all interested investors and distribution to natural persons or noninstitutional investors of, at least, 10% of the total to be distributed; We must draw up and publicize financial consolidated and revised statements and quarterly information, in accordance with the requirements set forth in Regulation, in addition to those of the Brazilian Corporation Law and CVM’s applicable regulation.

The exit from the Corporate Governance Level I does not imply that the Company has lost its listing on the BOVESPA. If the discontinuance of the exercise of good corporate governance practices is due to cancellation of authorization as a publicly traded company by the CVM, all procedures stipulated in the Brazilian Corporation Law and applicable CVM regulations must be followed. Discontinuance of the exercise of the corporate governance practices does not excuse the Company, its Administrator and WEG Participações from complying with the obligations and meeting the demands arising from the Agreement to Adopt Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices, the Arbitration Regulation and the Regulation covering facts prior to the exit mentioned here.

Below is a description of the main suits involving the Group’s companies. Labor Suits On June 30th, 2004, WEG Group companies were defendant in approximately 107 laborrelated suits representing a total liability of around R$ 4.5 million. Of this amount, roughly R$ 3.4 million is provisioned on the balance sheets of the respective companies (see table below). The main suits regard work-related accidents and illnesses, particularly repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Besides the labor-related suits above mentioned, the WEG Group companies are party in 3 suits filed by their former commercial representatives, through which such former commercial representatives are pledging the recognizing of their labor relationship with the WEG Group companies. Such suits represented a liability of R$ 2.9 million on June 30th, 2004. Of this amount, roughly R$ 2.8 million is provisioned on the balance sheets of the respective companies (see table below). Social Security Suits The WEG Group companies have filed a lawsuit claiming unconstitutionality of the collection of Work-Related Accident Insurance (SAT) at the tax rate of one, two or three percent, according to the activity of the company being light, medium or severe, respectively. There is already jurisprudence on the matter contrary to the thesis. Furthermore, the Company is discussing the possibility of paying the SAT according to the hazard degree of each plain, which would already mean a reasonable reduction in this contribution. This thesis is being supported by the courts, relying on favorable jurisprudence from the Superior Tribunal of Justice (STJ, the highest infra-constitutional court). The amount involved is R$ 21.4 million, and it is fully provisioned and deposited judicially (as shown below). Civil Suits On June 30th, 2004, WEG Group companies were defendant in approximately 50 civil suits representing a total liability of around R$ 19.3 million. Most of these proceedings concern work-related accident compensations and repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Furthermore, the Company is the defendant in an ongoing proceeding before the Court of Alberta, in Canada, in which it is accused of being co-responsible for an accident occurring at a customer’s facilities. The amount involved is US$ 12.4 million. The trial court decision was favorable to the Company and the plaintiff has already authorized the Company to 153 withdraw from the proceeding, but the other co-defendants have not so allowed. The Company has provisioned the amount of R4 3.1 million, equivalent to 25% of the abovementioned amount, on its balance sheet. Tax-Related Proceedings WEG Group companies are plaintiffs in several tax-related proceedings, through which they are challenging the constitutionality and legality of levying certain federal taxes and social contributions. The main tax-related proceedings involving the Group’s companies are described below. (a) Plano Verão (“Summer Plan”) Upon institution of the January 1989 Economic Plan, known as the “Summer Plan”, the Brazilian government unduly expurgated part of the currently verified price-level restatement, which brought about a smaller restatement in that year’s balance sheet, of around 51.87%. Consequently, WEG Group companies proposed a lawsuit in order to enable completing the balance sheet restatement by 51.87%. The trend of appellate court decisions in similar cases is to allow a restatement complement of around 35.58%, which has also already been recognized in a final decision of one the company’s suits. The amount involved related to IRPJ and CSLL (Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income, respectively) is R$ 41 million. The Group’s companies have established provisioned the full amount of the challenged taxes and have deposited in court the amount exceeding the 35.58% percentage. (b) PIS/COFINS on financial revenues The WEG Group companies have proposed a lawsuit aimed to exclude their financial revenues from the calculation base of the contribution to the Social Integration Program (PIS) and Contribution for Social Security Financing (COFINS), in relation to the alteration promoted by Law No. 9718/98. However, jurisprudence on this matter is unfavorable to the thesis presented by the Group’s companies. The amount involved is R$ 17.9 million and is partly provisioned and partly deposited in court. (c) PIS/COFINS on inputs applied to products intended for export As a result of Law No. 9363/96, the WEG Group’s companies are entitled to the presumed IPI (Excise Tax on Manufactured Products) credit, as a form of offsetting PIS and COFINS that have been incurred by inputs applied to exported products. The Group’s companies have not been subjecting such amounts to PIS, COFINS, IRPJ and CSLL levies. The amount involved is R$ 16.3 million, and there is no provision or deposit in court, because there is an understanding that these amounts represent compensation and therefore should not be subject to taxation. 154 (d) IPI Credits The WEG Group’s companies have been seeking judicially for the recognition of the right to use the IPI on duty-free and zero tax rate imports as offsetting credits, in light of the noncumulative principle. The courts have been favorable to the Group’s position. The amount involved is R$ 30 million, but the companies only intend to utilize these credits after a res judicata decision of the respective suits, taking into account the legal provision in this sense.
