Operating Result
Cost of goods sold totaled R$582.3 million in 2Q08, up 28% year on year and 14% quarter on quarter, due to the sales mix, the price increase in inputs (fuel oil, chemical products and natural gas), the depreciation of MA 1100 equipments and the costs incurred during the maintenance stoppage at the Correia Pinto and Otaclio Costa plants.

General and administrative expenses totaled R$44.1 million in 2Q08, 8% lower year on year and 8% higher quarter on quarter, representing 6% of net revenue, versus 7% in 2Q07 and 6% the 1Q08.

Business Performance
BUSINESS UNIT - FORESTRY
Klabin handled 2.1 million metric tons of pine and eucalyptus logs, woodchips and waste for energy generation in 2Q08, representing an increase in volume of 18% year on year and 1% quarter on quarter. Of this amount, 1.5 million metric tons were transferred to the plants in Paran, Santa Catarina and So Paulo. The volume of log sales to sawmills and laminators totaled 633,100 metric tons in 2Q08, up 8% year on year and stable compared to 1Q08. Net revenue from log sales to third parties in 2Q08 was R$53.0 million, down 3% year on year and 6% quarter on quarter. Klabins customers have managed to reduce their dependence on the U.S. market, increasing sales to Europe and domestic market. However, the local-currency appreciation and the contraction in U.S. the homebuilding market continue to have an adverse affect on wood sales to third parties. In May, new-home starts in the United States fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 975,000 units, declining by 3% against April 2008 and by 32% against May 2007. At the end of June, planted area totaled 218,000 hectares, of which 156,000 were planted with pine and araucaria and 62,000 hectares with eucalyptus, with 183,000 hectares of permanent preservation and legal reserve areas. To support the current expansion in capacity as well as future capacity expansions, the company continues to invest in increasing its own forestry area and through partnerships, leasing agreements and development programs. The forestry unit is working on improving its genetics to boost the productivity of forests by at least 50% over the next seven years. Since 2007, a fast-growing, frost-resistant eucalyptus species has been introduced in Santa Catarina.

The power boiler, the last piece of equipment under the MA 1100 Expansion Project, started operation in mid-June and is operating almost 100% of the time powered by biomass. This boiler has steam production capacity of 250 t/hour and is currently producing between 200 and 220 t/hour. Final adjustments and equipment inspections were conducted in late July during the maintenance stoppage at the Monte Alegre plant. Accordingly, the plant is expected to operate normally in line with the capacity of the MA 1100 Project. To support the current increase in capacity and future expansions, the company continues to invest in expanding its own forest area and in the development program.

Outlook
The operational startup of the power boiler only in mid-June and the maintenance stoppages at the Correia Pinto and Otaclio Costa plants frustrated the expectations for an improvement in results in 2Q08. In late July, with the general maintenance stoppage at the Monte Alegre plant, final equipment adjustments and inspections will be carried out; therefore, this unit should be operating normally by the start of August. Some factors support the expectation of better results starting in 3Q08: normalization of the operations paper and coated board plants and the increase in domestic sales volumes, with margin expansion in principal products.
