AUDITORS' REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To Shareholders and Management
Wilson Sons Limited and Subsidiaries
Hamilton, Bermuda
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Wilson
Sons Limited and subsidiaries ('the Group') as of September 30, 2007 and the
related condensed consolidated income statement for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, as well as the related
condensed and consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for
the nine-month periods then ended, all expressed in United States Dollars.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim
financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard No.
34 ('IAS 34'), Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a
conclusion on this interim financial information based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
We conducted our reviews in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to
obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34
(IAS 34), Interim Financial Reporting.
We have previously audited the consolidated balance sheet of Wilson Sons Limited
and subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2006, presented here in
condensed format for comparative purposes, and based on our audit, we issued an
unqualified opinion thereon, dated March 5, 2007.
Wilson Sons Limited and subsidiaries 2
Our reviews also comprehended the convenience translation of the presentation
currency amounts (United States dollar) into Brazilian real amounts and, based
on our reviews nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that
such convenience translation has not been made in conformity with the basis
stated in Note 2. The translation of the consolidated financial information
amounts into the Brazilian real has been made solely for the convenience of
readers in Brazil.
International Financial Reporting Standards vary in certain significant respects
from Brazilian accounting practices established by Brazilian Corporate Law and
standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission ('CVM'). The application
of the latter would have affected the determination of stockholders' equity and
financial position as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the
determination of net income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007
and 2006 to the extent summarized in Note 23.

WILSON SONS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
(Amounts expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted - Brazilian real amounts
are the result of a Convenience Translation: See Notes 1 and 2) (UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Wilson Sons Limited (the 'Group') is a Company incorporated in Bermuda under the
Companies Act 1981. The address of the register office is Clarendon House, 2
Church Street, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda. The Group is one of the largest
providers of integrated port and maritime logistics and supply chain solutions
in the Brazilian market. Throughout our 170 years operating in Brazil, we have
developed an extensive national network and provided a variety of services
related to international trade, particularly in the port and maritime sectors.
Our principal activities are divided into the following segments: operation of
ports terminals, towage services, logistics, shipping assistance and support to
offshore oil and natural gas platforms.
These condensed financial statements are presented in United States Dollars
because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
Group operates. Amounts are also presented in the Brazilian real for the
convenience of readers, computed as disclosed in Note 2.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and most significant judgments adopted by the Group's
management were not modified in relation to those presented in the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, disclosed on 26th of
April 2007 in the Final Prospectus of the Public Offering for the Primary and
Secondary Distribution of Certificates of Deposit representative of Common
Shares of Wilson Sons Limited.
Convenience translation
The condensed financial statements, originally prepared in US Dollars, were also
translated to Brazilian Reais. For purposes of this translation, the PTAX
exchange rates were used as of the closing dates of the consolidated financial
statements, as published by the Brazilian Central Bank. On September 30, 2007,
December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the applicable exchange rates were
R$1.8389, R$2.1380 e R$2.1742, respectively. The difference in these exchange
rates, between each of the referred closing dates, generates translation
variances on the beginning balances of the amounts reported in the condensed
financial statements as of the subsequent period end. The effect of such
differences was disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity and respective notes as 'Currency translation adjustment'. This
translation was carried out with the sole purpose of providing the user of the
condensed financial statements with a view of the reported amounts expressed in
the currency of the country where the Group carries out its operations.
3. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Financial expenses and respective liabilities were allocated to reporting
segments where interest arises from loans used to finance the construction of
fixed assets in that segment.
Financial income arising from bank balances held in Brazilian operating
segments, including foreign exchange variation on such balances, were not
allocated to the business segments as cash management is performed centrally by
the corporate function.

In the third quarter of 2007, the Group obtained new loans from the BNDES for
financing the construction of new vessels (platform supplier vessels.
The other main characteristics of the Group's loans are as follows:
The principal on the loans in Reais linked to US Dollars are subject to exchange
variance on the changes in the US Dollar/Real exchange rate and bear interest
between 1.5% and 6.0% per year on the US Dollar amounts. These loans are to
finance the building of new tugs, platform supply vessels and the refurbishment
of dredges. They are guaranteed by mortgage on the assets financed. The amounts
outstanding at September 30, 2007 are repayable over periods varying up to 18
years.
The loans in US Dollars bear interest at rates between six-month LIBOR plus 3.5%
per year and six-month LIBOR plus 4.15% per year. The majority of these loans
are to fund the expansion of the container terminal at Tecon Rio Grande and have
no recourse to other companies in the Group. The amounts outstanding at
September 30, 2007 are repayable over periods varying up 8 years.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK ASSESSMENT
a) Foreign exchange risk management (Forwards and Swaps)
The Group engages in forward and swap operations to mitigate and manage the
exposure to change in foreign exchange rates of loan agreements denominated in
foreign currency (in US Dollars and in Reais linked to US Dollars).
Contracts are denominated in Reais at the notional value of US$676 (R$1,243)
(December 31, 2006: US$2,038 (R$4,293)).
The fair value of forward and swap operations at 30 September 2007 is US$51
(R$94) (December 31, 2006: US$782 (R$1,673)) reported under liabilities as
Derivative Financial Instruments. The results of transactions with derivatives
terminated in the reporting periods and still in force as of each period end is
reported under Finance Costs (Note 7).
b) Fair value of financial instruments
The Group's financial instruments are recorded in balance sheet accounts at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 at amounts compatible with those
practiced in the market at those dates. These instruments are managed though
operating strategies aimed to obtain liquidity, profitability and security. The
control policy consists of an ongoing monitoring of rates agreed versus those in
force in the market and confirmation as to whether its short-term financial
investments are being properly marked to market by the institutions dealing with
its funds.
The Group does not make speculative investments in derivatives or any other risk
assets.
The determination of estimated realization values of Company's financial assets
and liabilities relies on information available in the market and relevant
assessment methodologies. Nevertheless, a considerable judgment was required
when interpreting market data to derive the most adequate estimated realization
value. Eventually, the following estimates do not necessarily indicate the
amounts that can be realized in the present foreign exchange market.
c) Criteria, assumptions and limitations used when computing market values
Cash and cash equivalents
The market values of the bank current account balances are consistent with book
balances. The market value of short-term financial investments was calculated
based on market quotations.
Investments classified as 'available for sale'
The investment available for sale is in Barcas S.A. Transportes Maritimos. Such
company does not have any market quotation, and its fair value is calculated in
accordance with criteria and assumptions set by Group management.
Intercompany loans receivable/payable
Because of the lack of similar financial instruments in the present market, the
related amounts involved are shown at book balances.
Trade accounts receivable and others/Suppliers and other payables
In the Group management's view, the book balance of trade and other accounts
receivable and suppliers and other payables approximates fair value.
Investments
Market values of Group investments are identical to book balances, since they do
not have any market quotation.
Bank Overdrafts and Loans
Market values of loans arrangements were calculated at their present value
determined by future cash flows and at interest rates applicable to instruments
of similar nature, terms and risks or at market quotations of these securities.
Market value of BNDES/FINAME financing arrangements is identical to book
balances since there are no similar instruments, with comparable maturity dates
and interest rates.
As regards the loan arrangement with the IFC, fair value was obtained at the
rate of the latest loan arrangement using the Libor rate at September 30, 2007.
Derivatives
The Company engages in derivatives operations ('swaps' and 'forwards') to hedge
against the effects from changes in foreign currency-denominated exposure.
Market value is determined at quotations reported by the financial institutions
issuing the instruments.
d) Credit Risk
The Group's credit risk can be attributed mainly to balances such as cash and
cash equivalents, investments classified as 'trading' and trade accounts
receivable.
The accounts receivable in the balance sheet are shown net of the provision for
doubtful receivables. The valuation provision is established whenever a loss is
detected, which, based on past experience, evidences impaired possibility of
recovering cash flows.
The Group's sales policy is subordinated to the credit sales rules set by
Management, which seeks to mitigate any loss from customers' delinquency.

17. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The legal situation of the Group includes labor, civil and tax processes.
Management, based on the opinion of its external legal counsel, understands that
legal procedures in each situation are sufficient to preserve the equity of the
Group, there being no need to recognize loss provisions in addition to those
entered at September 30, 2007 in the amount of US$5,665 (R$10,417), (December
31, 2006: US$5,913 (R$12,640)). Additionally, there were no significant
modifications in the legal situation of the Group subsequent to that described
in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006,
as well as in the Final Prospectus of the Public Offering for the Primary and
Secondary Distribution of Certificates of Deposit representative of Common
