                              The financial and operational information released
                              in this report,  unless otherwise indicated,  were
                              calculated  in   accordance   with  the  generally
                              accepted    accounting    principles   in   Brazil
                              (Brazilian GAAP).

                              Rio de  Janeiro,  14 August  2002 - In the  second
                              quarter of 2002 (2Q02)  Companhia Vale do Rio Doce
                              (CVRD)  obtained a net  earnings of R$ 85 million,
                              corresponding  to  earnings  per share of R$ 0.22.
                              Earnings accumulated in the first half amounted to
                              R$   718   million,    equivalent   to
  www.cvrd.com.br              R$   1.87 per share. Revenues, margins, cash
                              generation   and  sales   presented  an  excellent
                              performance, with some new records being achieved.

                              The  volatility  in the exchange  rate between the
                              Real  (BRL)  and  the  US  Dollar  (USD)  was  the
                              fundamental factor in reducing net earnings in the
                              quarter,  from  R$ 633  million  in  1Q02 to R$ 85
                              million in 2Q02, producing foreign exchange losses
                              (monetary variation) of R$ 997 million.

                              The  depreciation  of  the  BRL  causes  different
                              impacts over time on CVRD's earnings. In the short
          CVRD                term,  the negative  impact on net  liabilities in
  Investor Relations:         foreign  currency  has an  unfavourable  effect on
 Roberto Castello Branco      earnings.  However,  due to the asymmetry  between
      Andreia Reiis           revenues  and  expenses  - most  of the  Company's
    Daniella Tinoco           revenues  are  denominated  in USD,  82% in  2Q02,
    Barbara Gelluda           while the  majority  of costs are  denominated  in
     Rafael Azevedo           BRL, 68% in 2Q02 - the impact on cash flow is very
 Tel: (5521) 3814-4540        positive,  more than  compensating for the initial
    rio@cvrd.com.br           unfavourable  effect on earnings.  Normally,  this
                              reversion   tends   to  take   approximately   two
                              quarters.

                              In  this  quarter,  the  negative  effect  on  net
                              earnings was much sharper. The appreciation of the
                              USD  against  the BRL  between the end of 1Q02 and
                              the  last  day of  2Q02  - the  figure  needed  to
                              calculate  the  negative   accounting   effect  on
                              earnings in the  quarter - amounted  to 22.4%.  On
                              the other hand,  the fall in the average  exchange
                              rate from 1Q02 to 2Q02,  which is what affects the
                              behaviour  of  cash  flow  in BRL,  was  only  5%.
                              Therefore,  the exchange  rate  trajectory  during
                              2Q02   was    detrimental    to   CVRD   financial
                              performance.

                              The  Company's  operating  result  was very  good.
                              Gross operating revenues totalled R$ 1.843 billion
                              in the  quarter,  the  highest in CVRD's  history,
                              slightly  above  the  previous  record of R$ 1.840
                              billion  achieved  in 3Q01,  despite  the  limited
                              positive  impact of the USD  appreciation  and the
                              iron ore  price  decline.  Contrasting  with  this
                              scenario,  3Q01 revenues were benefited by a 11.1%
                              USD   appreciation   relatively  to  the  previous
                              quarter and an iron ore price rise.

                              Cash  generation,  as measured by EBITDA (earnings
                              before    interest,    tax,    depreciation    and
                              amortization)  amounted to R$ 864 million, was the
                              second  best  quarterly  result  in the  Company's
                              history. The highest ever quarterly EBITDA, R$ 986
                              million, was



                                                                               2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

achieved in 3Q01.  It should be pointed out that CVRD made a provision  of R$ 54
million, fully recognised in 2Q02, for the retrospective effect of a lowering of
iron ore and pellet prices,  which had a negative  effect on revenues,  margins,
cash generation and earnings.

EBITDA margin, the ratio between EBITDA and net revenues, amounted to 49%, again
confirming  CVRD's excellent  capacity for transforming  revenues into operating
profit.  EBITDA  margin in 2Q02 was  slightly  higher  than the  average for the
previous 17 quarters (1Q98 to 1Q02), of 48.7%.

The volume of iron ore and pellets  shipped by the Parent Company  constituted a
quarterly record of 36.330 million tons, exceeding the previous record of 34.769
million obtained in 3Q01 by 4.5%.  Sales volume of the above mentioned  products
in the first half of the year, 70 million tons, is also a new historical record.

The amount of general cargo transported for clients on CVRD's railroads (Vitoria
a Minas - EFVM and Carajas - EFC) also  constituted  a new  quarterly  record of
3.730 billion net ton kilometres (ntk).

CVRD's  consolidated  exports  in the first half of 2002  amounted  to US$ 1.865
billion.  It was a  significant  contribution  to  Brazil's  trade  surplus  and
ratifies CVRD position as the leading Brazilian exporter.

Capital  expenditures  carried out in the second  quarter  amounted to US$ 215.6
million.  Of this total, US$ 114.7 million was dedicated to various projects and
US$ 50.4 million was spent  acquiring full control of the Salobo copper project.
The purchase of partners'  stakes in the Sossego and Salobo  projects will allow
full  exploitation  of the  synergies  existing  within the  Carajas  region and
improved value generation for the Company's shareholders. During the first half,
CVRD's capital expenditure totalled US$ 373.2 million.

Various  important steps were taken in the execution of the Company's  strategy,
especially in regard to the aluminum, copper and electricity businesses.

RELEVANT EVENTS

Strategy execution

Two important  transactions took place in the  implementation of CVRD's strategy
in the aluminum businesses,  whose focus is the exploitation of opportunities in
the bauxite  and  alumina  segments.

The first was the purchase,  for R$ 118.9 million,  of a 12.6% stake in Alunorte
by Aluvale, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which thus now holds 62.1%
of  the  common  shares  and  19.1%  of  the   preferred   shares  in  Alunorte,
corresponding to 57% of the total share capital. Among other implications,  this
means that CVRD will be able to capture greater value in the future expansion of
this alumina refinery.

The second transaction was the acquisition, for R$ 6.4 million, of total control
in Mineracao Vera Cruz (MVC). MVC has significant bauxite reserves located in an
area adjoining  CVRD's own reserves in the Paragominas  region,  in the state of
Para.  The  geographical  location  of  MVC's  mineral  resources  significantly
increases flexibility in the use of the Company's logistics infrastructure.

In the  non-ferrous  segment,  CVRD  acquired  full control of the Salobo copper
project for US$ 50.4 million and entered into a joint  venture with  Antofagasta
Plc,  one  of  the  largest  copper  producers  in  the  Americas,  for  mineral
exploration  in the south of Peru,  an area with  significant  mineral  resource
potential.

In June,  the Company  ceased  extraction  activities  at the Igarape Bahia gold
reserve in Carajas. As a consequence,  CVRD's estimated gold production for 2002
is 320,000  troy ounces,  compared to the 514,400 troy ounces  produced in 2001.
However,  concurrently,  there  is an  ongoing  pre-feasibility  study  for  the
development  of Igarape Bahia Phase IV. From the middle of 2004, it is estimated
that this new





                                                                               3

[LOGO]  Comphania                                                   BR GAAP 2Q02
        Vale do Rio Doce
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

phase will produce 36,000 tons of copper  concentrate  and 83,600 troy ounces of
gold annually. The estimated capex for the development of Igarape Bahia Phase IV
is US$ 54 million.

CVRD has obtained  the  concession  for the  construction  and  operation of the
Estreito  hydroelectric  power  plant  which will have a  capacity  of 1,087 MW.
CVRD's  stake in the  consortium  that made the  winning  bid at the  concession
auction is 30% and the Estreito plant will be the Company's tenth  hydroelectric
power  project,  two of which,  Igarapava  and Porto  Estrela,  are  already  in
operation.

The Company is in the process of negotiating the sale of the assets of Florestas
Rio Doce to Bahia Sul Celulose S.A. and Aracruz  Celulose  S.A.,  concluding the
strategy  of  divesting  out of the  paper and pulp  sector.

Bond  issues

Vale  Overseas,  a wholly owned  subsidiary of CVRD, has begun the offer to swap
bonds  guaranteed  by the  Company,  which  fall due in 2007,  with a coupon  of
8.625%,  political  risk  insurance  and a total face value of US$ 300  million,
series A (old issue) for series B bonds (new issue). The new issue represent the
same debt with exactly identical characteristics.  However, the new issue do not
carry restrictions on their purchase by retail investors and are registered with
the  SEC  (Securities  and  Exchange  Commission)  under  the  terms  of  the US
Securities  Act of 1933,  which will improve the liquidity of these bonds in the
secondary market.

Authorization  was requested  from the CVM  (Brazilian  Securities  and Exchange
Commission) on June 28, 2002, to register shareholders debentures issued by CVRD
and  distributed  to its  shareholders  in April  1997,  in the  context  of the
privatization  program.  Registration of these  debentures will allow them to be
traded on Brazilian  markets.

The  Chicago  Board  Options  Exchange  (CBOE) and Pacific  Exchange  have begun
trading in options on RIO, the ADR representing the common shares of CVRD. These
options constitute a risk transfer vehicle,  and it is hoped that they will help
to reduce  volatility in the Company's  share price.

Iron ore and pellet prices

Between the end of May and the beginning of June,  CVRD  concluded  iron ore and
pellet price  negotiations  with  European and Japanese  clients for 2002 (April
2002 to March  2003 in the case of Japan).  Reflecting  the  performance  of the
steel industry in 2001, prices were down, by between 1% (iron ore fines from the
Southern  System to Europe) and 5.5%  (blast  furnace  pellets to  Europe).  The
impact of this drop in prices in the first half of the year is fully  recognised
in the results for 2Q02.

SHORT TERM PROSPECTS

The increased risk aversion  prevailing in the world  financial  market reflects
the  suspicion  generated by the cases of  corporate  fraud and doubts about the
strength of the global economic recovery.

Recent  statistics  on  economic  activity  in the US and  Europe  suggest  that
recovery  in the global  economy is likely to take place more slowly than we had
expected at the time of publishing  CVRD's first quarterly  results earlier this
year, on May 15, 2002.

In Brazil,  uncertainty in world financial  markets magnified the effects of the
uncertainties  about  the  future  of  macro-economic   policy  under  the  next
government.  This  combination  produced a high degree of financial assets price
volatility.  It is hoped,  as a result of the new  agreement  with the IMF, that
involves a credit line of US$ 30 billion,  will produce  positive effects on the
markets and, consequently, on the Brazilian economy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 3.1% drop in global steel  output  (ex-China)  in 2001 and the  expansion of
industrial  production in 2002, were the main factors behind the recovery of the
steel  products  markets this year.  The average  price of steel  products  rose
significantly: the Steel Price Index (CRUspi), computed by CRU, showed a rise of
32% between the end of last year and the  beginning of August this year.  Global
production of crude steel,  according to data from the  International  Institute
for Steel and Iron (IISI),  grew 3.9% in the first half of 2002, compared to the
same period in 2001.  In the second  quarter of 2002,  this growth  accelerated,
production increasing by 5.7% over the first quarter.

This  scenario is reflected  positively  in the demand for iron ore and pellets.
China continues to be the principal  driving force behind the growth in seaborne
demand for iron ore:  its imports  amounted to 51 million tons in the first half
of 2002 (1H02) compared to 41.9 million in 1H01, an increase of 21.9%. In Japan,
where the economy is still undergoing a fragile  recovery,  iron ore inventories
are down and import levels remained constant in 1H02, totalling 63 million tons.
Higher steel prices have stimulated a recovery in the global demand for pellets.

The  prospects  for  continuing  increase in Chinese  imports,  driven by a fast
growing GDP and replacement of  domestically  produced iron ore for the imported
product,  combined  with the fact that steel  prices are  expected  to remain at
current  levels,  leads us to expect  good  sales  performance  for iron ore and
pellets of CVRD in the second half of 2002,  consolidating  the  movement saw in
the 1H02.

On the other hand,  given the current and expected  short term demand  evolution
for  aluminum,  we cannot  anticipate a price  recovery for the next few months.
Inventories on the London Metal Exchange (LME) continue to accumulate and prices
have  reacted   negatively  to  the  turbulence  in  global  financial  markets,
converging  to US$ 1,300 per ton,  compared to the 2001 average of US$ 1,453 and
US$ 1,378 in the first seven months of 2002. In the case of alumina, demand from
China provides support for prices at their current level. For new contracts, the
alumina price has remained at around 11% of the aluminum  price on the LME. Gold
prices have remained consistently above the level of US$ 300 per troy ounce, and
its  resiliency  may be  associated  to the  asset  price  volatility  in global
financial markets.

Despite the slow growth in the Brazilian economy,  demand for logistics services
has been very  strong,  given the  deficiencies  that  exist in  Brazil's  cargo
transport  infrastructure.  CVRD has been able to exploit  opportunities  in the
market, especially in the transport of grains and cement, as well as inter-modal
transportation.  For instance,  the winning of new contacts has made it feasible
to expand the Company's  railroad  activities in the  transportation of products
for the car industry from 4Q02 onwards.

REVENUES AND SALES VOLUME

Sales  volume of iron ore and pellets in 2Q02  reached a record  level of 36.330
million tons,  exceeding the previous  record of 34.769 million tons recorded in
3Q01.  It is worth  pointing  out that  since  3Q01,  the sales of iron ore from
Samitri's  mines have been fully  incorporated  into the Parent  Company's sales
figures.  Shipments in the second  quarter were up 7.9% on the previous  quarter
and 16.5% on 2Q01. Sales volume by the Parent Company encompasses all pellet and
iron ore  shipments,  including  the sales of pellet  feed to the  pellet  joint
ventures (Nibrasco, Itabrasco, Hispanobras and Kobrasco).

Accumulated  sales  volume in the first half of the year  amounted to 70 million
tons,  14.1% higher than in the same period a year  earlier.  1H02 sales volumes
set a historical  record as well.

In 2Q02, sales of iron ore fines accounted for 78.9% of shipments, lumps 10% and
pellets  11.1%.  Sales of pellets  increased  the most, up 23.1% on the previous
quarter.  The Parent  Company bought 3.050 million tons of pellets for resale to
customers from the pellet joint ventures, compared to 1.769 million tons in 1Q02
and 2.847 million on 2Q01.

Sales  of iron  ore to China of 5  million  tons  were up 13.6% on the  previous

The  transportation  of general cargo (products other than iron ore and pellets)
for customers on CVRD's railroads,  amounted to 3.730 billion net ton kilometres
(ntk), a quarterly  record,  surpassing the previous record of 3.468 billion ntk
in 1Q02. Ferrovia Centro-Atlantica (FCA) also registered its best performance in
terms of general cargo transportation since its operation was taken over by CVRD
at the beginning of 2000: 2.712 billion nkt.

In addition to transportation  records, CVRD's railroads have been significantly
improving productivity.  At EFVM, ntk per active locomotive,  per day, rose from
0.87 million in 2Q01 to 0.95 million in 2Q02.  Simultaneously  fuel  consumption
fell. EFVM's trains transported, on average, 300 ntks per litre of fuel consumed
in  2Q02,  compared  to 280 in  2Q01.  Maximization  of  asset  utilization  and
operational  cost reductions are  contributing  to increase  returns on existing
assets.

CVRD's ports  handled  7.007  million  tons,  an increase of 27% on the previous
quarter.

Gold sales have been falling due to the  exhaustion  of the Igarape  Bahia mine,
amounting to 111,854 troy ounces in the quarter. From the third quarter of 2002,
gold will be produced  only from the mines of Fazenda  Brasileiro  and  Itabira.
However,  CVRD's gold production will rise strongly when operations begin at the
copper mines in Carajas.  Annual  production of 950,000 troy ounces is estimated
for 2007,  by which time all the copper  projects  should be fully  operational.

Potash shipments increased substantially, up by 69.9% qoq and 27.2% yoy.

SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

Net earnings in 2Q02 were strongly hit by monetary variation associated with the
depreciation of the BRL against the USD to the tune of R$ 997 million.

Compared  to 2Q01,  when  earnings  came to R$ 546  million,  the main factor to
affect  earnings  was the  increase in  negative  monetary  variation  of R$ 814
million.

Results of investment participation  contributed favourably to earnings in 2Q02,
up R$ 169  million on 2Q01,  chiefly  due to the result of an increase of R$ 361
million in equity income. This item amounted to R$ 626 million in 2Q02, of which
R$ 596 million  derived  from the iron ore and pellets  division,  R$ 66 million
from  manganese  and  ferro-alloys  and R$ 63  million  from steel  assets.  The
aluminum businesses contributed for a loss of R$ 127 million,  mainly because of
the effect of the  depreciation  of the Real  against  the Dollar on the foreign
currency  denominated  debt of Albras and  Alunorte.  Despite  the low  aluminum
prices,  the operational  performance of all aluminum  companies  improved.  For
example,  EBITDA  generated by Albras in 2Q02, of R$ 150.4  million,  was up 10%
yoy, and 41.9% qoq.

Net operating revenues raised R$ 222 million compared to 2Q01, while the cost of
goods sold (COGS) saw an increase of R$ 162  million,  adversely  affecting  the

EBITDA EVOLUTION

EBITDA in 2Q02 amounted to R$ 864 million,  up 18.7% on the previous quarter and
11.6% higher than the same period a year  earlier.  This was the second  highest
figure in CVRD's  history,  and 46.2%  higher than the EBITDA  average of R$ 591
million over the previous 17 quarters (1Q98 to 1Q02).  EBITDA margin amounted to
49%, in line with previous quarterly results.

Compared  to EBITDA  obtained  in 2Q01,  of R$ 774  million,  the main source of
improvement was in net sales growth up by R$ 222 million. On the other hand, the
increase in COGS of R$ 163 million was the most important  factor in restricting
growth in this variable.

Most  of the  expenditure  on  projects  was in the  area of  ferrous  minerals,
totalling US$ 58.6 million.  Of particular note were: the US$ 21.4 million spent
on the  purchase  of  locomotives  for  iron  ore  transportation,  work  on the
construction  of Pier III at the Ponta da  Madeira  maritime  terminal  (US$ 5.6
million) and US$ 24.0  million on the Sao Luis pellet  plant and its  supporting
infrastructure.

US$  27.3  million  were  invested  in the  construction  and the  environmental
licensing  of  eight  hydroelectric  power  projects.   By  the  end  of  August
construction will begin on the Capim Branco I and II hydroelectric power plants.

Logistics projects absorbed US$ 19.6 million,  the largest investment of US$ 7.7
million being spent on the purchase of transtainers  and portainers for the Vila
Velha  Terminal  (TVV) and US$ 3.8  million on the  enlarging  of the Praia Mole
Terminal,  both in the state of  Espirito  Santo.  US$ 2.2  million was spent on
enlarging the capacity of the grain  handling  facilities at the port of Tubarao
and US$ 2.9 million spent on increasing transportation capacity, warehousing and
general cargo handling facilities in the Northern System.

Investment of US$ 7.7 million was carried out in Mineracao Serra do Sossego,  in
developing the copper mine. Capital  expenditure on enlarging the potash mine at
Taquari-Vassouras  amounted to US$ 1.5 million. This brownfield project involves
total  investment of US$ 67.5 million from 2002 to 2005, to increase  production
capacity from 600 to 850,000 tons a year by 3Q05.  This is an investment  with a
high  expected  rate of return,  in a product  whose sales  produce  strong cash
generation,  which will increase  CVRD's share in a market that is growing by an
average of 6% a year.

Mineral  exploration  continues to focus on the discovery of world class mineral
deposits.  Investment in 2Q02 quarter  amounted to US$ 8.3 million.  Most of the
expenditure  for this year is  allocated  to the  exploration  of copper,  gold,
nickel,  kaolin  and  platinum  group  metals.  US$ 2.7  million  was  spent  on
information technology and US$ 0.9 million on environmental protection.

forward-looking  statements  involve  risks and  uncertainties  that could cause
actual  results to differ  materially  from those  projected in  forward-looking
statements,  and CVRD  cannot give  assurance  that such  statements  will prove
correct.  These  risks  and  uncertainties  include  factors:  relating  to  the
Brazilian economy and securities  markets,  which exhibit  volatility and can be
adversely affected by developments in other countries;  relating to the iron ore
business and its dependence on the global steel  industry,  which is cyclical in
nature;  and  relating  to the  highly  competitive  industries  in  which  CVRD
operates.  For additional  information on factors that could cause CVRD's actual

revenue is derived from exports and,  additionally,  part of domestic  sales are

1.3-   Comments on the Parent Company Results

The net income of the Company for the first semester of 2002 was R$ 718,388 (net
income of R$ 633,138 in the first quarter and R$ 85,250 in the second quarter) a
40.4% decrease on the R$ 1,205,898 in the first  semester of 2001,  reducing the
earnings per share to R$ 1.87 on 06/30/02 from R$ 3.13 on 06/30/01. We point out
that the result of year 2001  includes gain on sales of  investments,  basically
Bahia Sul, in the amount of R$ 298,972.

The decrease of 2.3% in the gross margin  (44.8% on 06/30/02,  against  47.1% on
06/30/01)  was due to cost of products and  services  increase of 20.4% (from R$
1,515,092  on 06/30/01 to R$ 1,824,537 on  06/30/02),  while gross  revenue rose
16.0% (from R$ 2,969,114 on 06/30/01 to R$ 3,444,193 on 06/30/02). The market of
pellets  decreased 5.8% in terms of sales volumes.  This decrease was monetarily
offset by the  valorization  of the US dollar  against  the real,  due to 82% of
Company's revenues are denominated in US dollar.

1.3.1-   Gross Revenues

Gross revenues increased 16.0% (from R$ 2,969,114 on 06/30/01 to R$ 3,444,193 on
06/30/02).  This reflects the  strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the real
as well as a growth in iron ore, gold and potash sales volume, offset in part by
a decrease in the volumes of other  products and services  sold. The increase in
iron ore sales is due to mining  operations  previously  belonging  to  Samitri,
since May 2001.  However,  these  events  also  resulted  in a decrease in gross
revenue from  railroad  transport  and port  services  since CVRD ceased to sell
these services to that Company and absorbed related costs.



                                                                               5

1.3.2-   Cost of Products and Services

The increase of 20.4% in the cost of products and services (from R$ 1,515,092 at
06/30/01 to R$ 1,824,537 at 06/30/02) is due  principally  to 17,0%  increase in
sales volume of iron ore (in function of Samitri's incorporation),  the exchange
rate variation of 32% of total costs and  amortization  of goodwill from Samitri
in 2002.  The following  table shows each  component of the cost of products and

The numbers reported per area do not necessarily  reflect the individual results
of each company,  but rather the amounts effectively  applicable to the business
area.

Equity earnings,  increasing from a gain of R$ 546,241 on 06/30/01 to R$ 558,587
on 06/30/02. This variation was due to a combination of the following factors:

Ferrous

(a) Iron ore and pellets

    ITABRASCO - A reduction  in the equity  result of R$ 6,102 (gain of R$ 4,047
    at 06/30/02  against a gain of R$ 10,149 at 06/30/01) due to a 4.5% decrease
    in the average  sale price (US$ 29.99 per ton at 06/30/02  against US$ 31.41
    per ton at  06/30/01)  offset  partly by an increase in sales volume of 1.9%
    (from 1,550 thousand tons at 06/30/01 to 1,579 thousand tons at 06/30/02).

                                                                               7


..   ITACO - An  improved  equity  result of R$ 83,301 (a gain of R$  131,523  at
    06/30/02 against a gain of R$ 48,222 at 06/30/01),  due to 37.6% higher iron
    ore sales volume (42,550  thousand tats in 2002 against 30,923 thousand tats
    in 2001) including sales to its subsidiary CVRD Overseas.

..   ITABIRA  INTERNATIONAL - In 2002, R$ 231,757 of exchange rate variation  was
    booked.

..   KOBRASCO  - A  reduction  in the  equity  result  of R$ 13,809 (a loss of R$
    23,126  at  06/30/02  versus  a loss of R$ 9,317  at  06/30/01),  due to the
    increased  negative  effects of  exchange  rate  variation  on debt,  a 2.2%
    reduction in the average  sale price (US$ 30.39 per ton at 06/30/02  against
    US$  31.07  per ton at  06/30/01)  and a 6.3%  fall in  volume  sold  (1,868
    thousand tons at 06/30/02 against 1,993 thousand tons at 06/30/01).

..   NIBRASCO - A reduction in the equity result of R$ 7,613 (a gain of R$ 671 at
    06/30/02 against a gain of R$ 8,284 at 06/30/01),  caused by a 22.1% fall in
    sales volume (3,257 thousand tons at 06/30/2002  against 4,179 thousand tons
    at 06/30/2001),  offset partly by a 1.3% increase in the average sales price
    (US$ 31.06 per ton at 06/30/02 versus US$ 30.67 per ton at 06/30/01).

..   RDE - An  increased  equity  result of R$ 99,049  (a gain of R$  253,880  at
    06/30/02  against a gain of R$ 154,831 at  06/30/01),  due  basically to the
    fall in the value of the real against the dollar (a positive  exchange  rate
    variation  of R$  172,355  at  06/30/02  versus  a  positive  exchange  rate
    variation of R$ 109,929 at 06/30/01).

..   SAMARCO - The equity result remained  virtually  stable (a gain of R$ 19,464
    at 06/30/02 against a gain of R$ 18,578 at 06/30/01).  In operational terms,
    sales volume  increased 6.6% (6,737 thousand tons at 06/30/02  against 6,318
    thousand tons at 06/30/01)  offset by a 2.5% fall in the average sales price
    (US$ 28.63 per ton at 06/30/02 against US$ 29.37 per ton at 06/30/01) and by
    the negative effects of exchange rate variation on debt.

..   FERTECO - An increase in the equity result of R$ 45,366 (a gain of R$ 47,709
    at  06/30/2002  against a gain of R$ 2,343 at  06/30/2001).  The company was
    acquired in April 2001.

    ferroalloy sales (60 thousand tons at 06/30/02 against 49 thousand tons at
    06/30/01) offset partly by a 16.6% fall in the price of ferroalloys (US$
    448.03 per ton at 06/30/02 against US$ 536.93 per ton at 06/30/01) as well
    as a 15.0% increase in the average manganese sales price (US$ 51.39 per ton
    at 06/30/02 against US$ 44.70 per ton at 06/30/01) also partly offset by a

    of 140.3% in  manganese  sales (173  thousand  tons at  06/30/02  against 72
    thousand tons at 06/30/01).

    51,541 at 06/30/02 against a gain of R$ 64,358 at 06/30/01),  due to a 29.8%
    decrease in average  freight rates (US$ 5.36 per ton at 06/30/02  versus US$
    7.64 per ton at 06/30/01),  offset partly by the  appreciation of the dollar
    against the real.

..   FCA - R$ 49,285 of  amortization  of goodwill was booked on 06/30/02,  along

    positive variation of R$ 64,447 at 06/30/01).

    2,355 thousand tons in 2001).

    terms,  the average aluminum sales price fell 11.6% (US$ 1,326.67 per ton at
    06/30/02  compared  with US$ 1,501.45 per ton at 06/30/01)  and sales volume

    (837 thousand tons at 06/30/02 versus 770 thousand tons at 06/30/01).

..   MRN - A reduction in the equity  result of R$ 23,920 (a gain of R$ 12,893 at
    06/30/02  against a gain of R$ 36,813 at  06/30/01),  due to a  decrease  in
    sales volume of 12.5% (4,391  thousand tons at 06/30/02  compared with 5,017
    thousand  tons at  06/30/01),  average sales price fell 13.3% (US$ 18.39 per
    ton at  06/30/02  against  US$  21.22 per ton at  06/30/01),  as well as the

    at 06/30/02  against a gain of R$ 13,042 at 06/30/01),  caused by a decrease

    against US$ 1,967.99 per ton at 06/30/01),  while sales volume rose 4.8% (44

..   ALUVALE - An increase in the equity result (own  operations)  of R$ 3,212 (a
    gain of R$ 16,125  at  06/30/02  against  a gain of R$  12,913 at  06/30/01)
    basically due to financial result.

    06/30/02  against  a gain of R$ 17,225  at  06/30/01),  due to a fall in the
    average  sales  prices of  aluminum  (12.2%),  alumina  (23.8%)  and bauxite
    (21.5%),  offset  partly by higher  sales  volume  for all  three:  aluminum
    (11.6%), alumina (98.6%) and bauxite (31.2%).

Expressed in thousands

6.1-   Operations

Companhia  Vale  do Rio  Doce - CVRD  is a  publicly  traded  corporation  whose

jointly controlled companies, CVRD operates in logistics, geological studies and
technological research services, steel and aluminum.

6.2-   Presentation of Financial Statements

The  quarterly  information  have  been  prepared  according  to the  accounting
principles provided for in Brazilian corporate  legislation as well as the rules
and  guidelines  issued by the Comissao de Valores  Mobiliarios - CVM (Brazilian
Securities  Commission) and IBRACON - Instituto dos Auditores  Independentes  do
Brasil (Brazilian Independent Auditors Institute).

In order to provide better  information to the market, the Company is presenting
Statements of Cash Flow.  The  disclosure of this statement is stimulated by CVM
acording to the rule 01/00 from 01/31/00.

Certain amounts and classifications in the 2001 quarterly  information have been
adjusted to the criteria used on 06/30/02 for better comparability.

6.3-   Significant Accounting Policies

(a) The Company adopts the accrual basis of accounting;

(b) Assets and  liabilities  that are  realizable or due more than twelve months
    after the balance sheet date are classified as long-term;

(c) Marketable  securities classified as cash and cash equivalents are stated at
    cost plus accrued income earned through the balance sheet date;

(d) Inventories are stated at average  purchase or production  cost, and imports
    in transit  at the cost of each item,  not  exceeding  market or  realizable
    value;

(e) Assets and  liabilities  in foreign  currencies  are  translated at exchange
    rates in effect at the balance sheet date,  and those in local  currency are
    restated based on contractual indexes;

(f) Investments in  subsidiaries,  jointly  controlled  companies and affiliated
    companies are accounted for by the equity method, based on the stockholders'
    equity of the investees, and when applicable increased/decreased by goodwill
    and  negative  goodwill to be  amortized  and  provision  for losses.  Other
    investments are recorded at cost, less provision for unrealized  losses when

The realization of tax credits arising from temporary  differences occurs at the
time of effective payment of the provisions made, in accordance with tax law.

In addition to the credits recorded,  the Company has a lawsuit pending claiming
an additional 51.83% monetary restatement for tax purposes applied to the months
of January and February 1989 ("Plano Verao" monetary  plan). A favorable  ruling
has already been obtained for  compensation of credits  corresponding  to 42.72%
instead of the 51.83%  requested.  The  amount of these  credits  covered by the
ruling total  approximately R$ 405,000,  and the accounting effects have not yet
been recognized in the quarterly information.

The current expectation is to realize deferred income tax by the end of the year
2003.

The amounts reported as income tax and social contribution which affected income
for the period are as follows:

       management upon the advice of the legal department and outside counsel.

       Tax  contingencies   relate  principally  to  a  legal  process  claiming

(c)    Upon privatization of the Company in 1997,  debentures were issued to the
       then stockholders,  including the federal government.  The maturity dates
       of these debentures were established to guarantee that  pre-privatization
       stockholders,  including the federal  government,  would share any future
       benefits from subsequent mineral discoveries.

       On 06/28/02 CVRD protocoled a debentures registration request at Comissao
       de Valores  Mobiliarios  - CVM.  The  obtainment  of the above  mentioned
       registration  with the CVM has the purpose to enable the Debentures to be
       traded in the secondary  market  together with SND - Sistema  Nacional de
       Debentures (National Debentures System), under the management of ANDIMA -
       Associacao

       Nacional  das   Instituicoes  do  Mercado  Aberto  (National
       Association of Open Market  Institutions)  and  operationally  by CETIP -
       Central de Custodia e de Liquidacao Financeira de Titulos (Clearing House
       for the Custody and Financial Settlement of Securities).

       According  to  the  regulations  of  the  Brazilian   Central  Bank,  the
       pre-privatization  stockholders  who held their shares  through  American
       Depositary  Receipts (ADRs) were not authorized to receive  debentures or
       any other financial  benefits related to same. The Company will present a
       new request to the Central Bank,  but there is no guarantee  that it will
       be granted.

       The  debenture  holders  are  entitled  to receive  semi-annual  payments
       equivalent to a percentage of the net revenues  from  determined  mineral
       resources held by the Company in May 1997, as per the table below:

       Based on current  production  levels and estimates for new projects,  the
       forecast is to start payments referring to copper resources in 2004, iron
       ore in  approximately  2012,  and other types of minerals in later years.
       The obligation to make payment to the debenture  holders will expire when
       the pertinent mineral resources are depleted.

(d)   The  Company  has  commitments  under a  take-or-pay  contract  to acquire
      approximately  207,060  tons of  aluminum  per year from  ALBRAS at market
      prices. This estimate is based on 51% of the estimated output of ALBRAS at
      a market price of US$ 1,375.00 per ton on June 30, 2002,  representing  an
      annual  commitment  of R$  694,918  based on the  final  exchange  rate of
      06/30/02. The same applies to 683,135 tons of alumina per year produced by
      ALUNORTE,  which at a market  price of US$ 170.28 per ton on June 30, 2002
      represents a yearly  commitment  of R$ 283,926 on the same  exchange  rate
      mentioned.  The effective  take of ALBRAS was R$ 312,266 and R$ 278,206 in
      06/30/02 and  06/30/01,  respectively,  and directly from ALUNORTE (net of
      the take assigned to ALBRAS),  was R$ 57,525 and R$ 29,655 in 06/30/02 and
      06/30/01, respectively.





6.14 - Environmental and Site Reclamation and Restoration Costs

Expenditures  relating to ongoing compliance with environmental  regulations are
charged to production costs or capitalized as incurred.  The Company manages its
environmental  policies  according  to  the  specifications  of ISO  14,001  and
maintains  ongoing programs to minimize the  environmental  impact of its mining
operations as well as to reduce the costs that will be incurred upon termination
of  activities  at each mine.  On  06/30/02,  the  provision  for  environmental
liabilities  amounted to R$ 59,651 (R$ 62,899 on 03/31/02),  which was accounted
in "Others" in long-term liabilities.

6.15 - Pension Plan - VALIA

The  Fundacao  Vale do Rio Doce de  Seguridade  Social  - VALIA is a  non-profit
entity, legally separate from the CVRD, founded in 1973 to provide supplementary
social  security  benefits to the  employees of the Company,  its  subsidiaries,
affiliated   companies  and  others  that  participate  or  may  in  the  future
participate in plans administered by the Foundation.

The  Company  and  various of its  subsidiaries  and  affiliated  companies  are
sponsors of VALIA, in the following benefit plans:

(a)   Benefit Plan

      Defined Benefit Plan - " BD"

      A pure defined benefit plan, now being phased out, instituted in 1973 upon
      establishment  of VALIA.  This plan has been  closed to new members and is
      maintained only for existing retired  participants and their beneficiaries
      and a few residual active participants.

      Mixed-Benefit Plan - " Vale Mais"

      A mixed plan which offers  programmable  retirement income benefits of the
      defined contribution type,  independent of government Social Security.  It
      also  includes a deferred  severance  benefit  (vesting),  as well as risk
      benefits:   retirement  for  disability,  death  benefits  and  sick-leave
      assistance.  This new plan has more modern, transparent and flexible rules
      that make it more  attractive  for employees and more  economical  for the
      sponsors.

      " Vale Mais" was  established  in May 2000 and nearly  98.7% of the active
      participants migrated to this new plan.

      The contributions of the sponsors are as follows:

      o     Ordinary  contribution - Destined to accrue the resources  necessary
            to grant income benefits,  sponsor contributions are matched equally
            by participants, up to 9% of their participation salaries, which may
            not exceed ten "plan reference  units" (this limit was R$1,383.86 in
            December 2001).

      o     Extraordinary  contribution  - This can be made at any time,  at the
            discretion of the sponsors.

      o     Normal  contribution  - To fund  the risk  plan  and  administrative
            expenses, fixed by the actuary based on actuarial appraisals.

      o     Special contribution - Destined to cover any special commitment that
            may arise.

      During 2001, the Company made  contributions  to VALIA in the amount of R$
      6,947 (R$ 4,881 on 06/30/01) to fund the benefit plans it sponsors.

(b)   Actuarial liability

      This  provision is the result of the Company's  responsibility  to provide
      supplementary  pensions relating to the early retirement  programs of 1987
      and 1989,  in the  amount of R$  460,951  and an  additional  amount of R$
      33,075  as  required  by CVM  Deliberation  371.  These  liabilities  were
      calculated by an  independent  actuary for the year 2001 and represent the
      current value of the benefits and  pensions.  Part is recorded in "Pension
      Plan"  account in current  liabilities - R$ 64,533 (R$ 63,896 on 03/31/02)
      and part in long-term liabilities - R$ 429,493 (R$ 425,580 on 03/31/02).

      The  actuarial  assumptions  and  economics'  hypothesis  adopted  in  the
      actuarial  calculations for the year 2001, were disclosed in the Financial
      Statements ended December 31, 2001.

(c)   Subsidiaries and affiliated companies

      Some  subsidiary and affiliated  companies that do not  participate in the
      social security plan through VALIA also record their actuarial liabilities
      referring to the plans they sponsor as set forth in CVM  Deliberation  371
      of December 13, 2000.

6.16 - Capital

The Company's capital is R$ 5 billion, corresponding to 388,559,056 book shares,
of which  249,983,143  are common shares,  138,575,913  are preferred  class "A"
shares,  the latter including one special preferred share ("Golden Share"),  all
with no par value. On April 29, 2002, the  Extraordinary  Stockholders'  General
Meeting  approved a capital  increase,  without new shares  issues,  but through
capitalization of reserves in the amount of R$ 1 billion.

26



Preferred shares have the same rights as common shares,  except for the right to
elect the  members of the Board of  Directors.  They have  priority to a minimum
annual  dividend  of 6% on the portion of capital  represented  by this class of
share.

The special "Golden Share" created during the  privatization  in 1997 belongs to
the Brazilian  Government.  This share gives it the right to a permanent veto of
changes  in the  Company's  name,  headquarters  location,  nature  as a  mining
enterprise,  continuous  operation of the integrated mining,  transportation and
loading systems and other matters determined in the Bylaws.

On 06/30/02 the Company's capital is comprised as follows:



                                                                                                            Number of shares

6.20 - Financial Instruments - Derivatives

The main market risks the Company faces are related to interest rates,  exchange
rates and  commodities  prices.  CVRD has a policy of managing risks through the
use of derivatives instruments.

The Company's  risk  management  follows  policies and  guidelines  reviewed and
approved by the Board of  Directors  and  Executive  Board.  These  policies and
guidelines  generally prohibit speculative trading and short selling and require
diversification of transactions and counterparties. The policy of the Company is
to settle all contracts  financially  without physical delivery of the products.
The overall position of the portfolio is assessed and monitored daily to measure
the  financial  results  and the  impact on cash  flow.  The  credit  limits and
creditworthiness of counterparties are also reviewed  periodically.  The results
of hedging are reported to the  Executive  Board and monthly  recognized in CVRD
result.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk derives from  floating-rate  debt,  mainly from trade finance
operations. The portion of floating-rate debt denominated in foreign currency is
mainly subject to fluctuations in the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The
portion  of  floating-rate  debt  expressed  in reais  refers  basically  to the
Brazilian  long-term interest rate (TJLP),  established by the Brazilian Central
Bank.  Since May 1998, CVRD has been using  derivatives to limit its exposure to
fluctuations  in the LIBOR,  through  LIBOR's  swap  instruments  based on fixed
rates.

The interest rate derivatives portfolio consists mainly of options trades aiming
to cap  exposure to interest  rate  fluctuations,  establishing  upper and lower
limits. Some operations are subject to knock-out provisions which, if triggered,
eliminate the protection provided by the cap.

Exchange Rate Risk

Exchange  rate risk comes from  foreign  currency  debts.  On the other hand,  a
substantial  part of the Company's  revenues are  denominated or indexed in U.S.
dollars, while the majority of costs are in reais. This provides a natural hedge
against possible  devaluations of Brazilian currency against the dollar.  Events
of this nature  have an  immediate  negative  impact on foreign  currency  debt,
offset by the positive effect on future cash flows.

The  Company  adopts a  strategy  of  monitoring  market  fluctuations  and,  if
necessary,  carrying out derivatives  operations to cover risks related to these
variations.

The  portion of debt  denominated  in euros and  Japanese  yen is  protected  by
derivatives to cover risks of exchange rate movements of these currencies.

The table below shows the exchange rate  derivatives  portfolio for 06/30/02 and
06/30/01.  These  operations are range forwards which were  structured to ensure
the purchase price of the following currencies:

Commodities Price Risk

The  prices  of  iron  ore,  the  Company's  main  product,  are  set in  annual
negotiations  between  producers and consumers and are notably stable over time.
The  Company  does not  enter  into  derivatives  operations  to hedge  iron ore
exposure.

The  Company  uses hedge  instruments  to manage its  exposure to changes in the
price of gold. These  derivatives  operations  allow  establishment of a minimum
profit  level for future  gold  output.  The Company  actively  manages its open
positions,  with the  results  reported  monthly to senior  management  to allow
adjustment of targets and strategies in response to market conditions.

The  following  table  shows the gold  derivatives  portfolio  of the Company on
06/30/02 and 06/30/01.

6.23-  Subsequent Events

Sale of Pulp Assets

On 06/10/02,  CVRD and its  subsidiary  Florestas Rio Doce S.A (FRDSA)  signed a
letter of intent with Aracruz  Celulose  S.A.  (Aracruz)  and Bahia Sul Celulose
S.A.  (Bahia Sul),  agreeing on general lines and the basic  conditions  for the
purchase and sale of assets (planted  eucalyptus forest lands) owned by FRDSA in
the Sao Mateus region of the state of Espirito Santo.

The completion of this operation is conditional on a forest, legal and financial

CVRD and Antofagasta Establish a Joint Venture

On 07/19/02,  CVRD and Antofagasta Plc (Antofagasta),  one of the largest copper
producers in Chile, constituted Cordillera de las Minas S.A. (Cordillera), whose
purpose is to develop mineral  research and exploration  activities in the south
of Peru,  near Cuzco.  The area of  interest  covers  approximately  60 thousand
square kilometers. Other important mining operations are located in this region,
which has great  potential  mineral  wealth.  This joint venture was  formalized
through  the  Memorandum  of  Understanding  signed  by  CVRD  and  Antofagasta,
disclosed on June 6, 2002.

The corporate  documents  signed on July 18, 2002 involve the following  events:
(i)  Anaconda  Peru  S.A.  (Anaconda),  a  company  controlled  by  Antofagasta,
transferred mineral rights to Cordillera, in which it detains 99.9% of the total
capital;  (ii) CVRD constituted  Compania Minera  Andino-Brasilera  Ltda (CMAB),
which owns 0.1% of the capital of Cordillera;  (iii) CVRD/CMAB has the option of
acquiring  50% of the  capital of  Cordillera,  through the  realization  over a
three-year  period of investments  of US$ 6,700,000 for geological  research and
exploration of the mining rights held by Cordillera.

The Investment  Agreement signed that same day between CVRD, CMAB,  Antofagasta,
Anaconda and  Cordilllera,  assures the  participation,  influence and rights of
CVRD/CMAB  in the  management  of  Cordillera,  particularly  in  directing  the
investments to be made and the exercise of the option contracted.

This  deal  represents  an  important  step  by  CVRD  to  internationalize  its
activities  and  ratifies its interest in copper  mining,  already  shown by its
acquisition of sole control of Mineracao  Serra do Sossego S/A and Salobo Metais
S.A and by the start of development of the Sossego project in Carajas, Para.

CVRD Acquires Mineracao Vera Cruz

At  07/01/02  CVRD  through its  subsidiary,  Vale do Rio Doce  Aluminio  S.A. -
ALUVALE (Aluvale),  acquired 64% of the total capital of its affiliated company,
Mineracao Vera Cruz S.A. (MVC),  which was previously  held by the  Paranapanema
Group,  for R$ 6.4 millions.  With this  acquisition,  Aluvale will hold 100% of
MVC.  Paranapanema  holds 18 active mining rights in the Paragominas  region, in
the state of Para, with total  metallurgical  bauxite resources estimated at 878
million tons.

New Stage of the Igarape Bahia Mine

On July CVRD, after twelve years of activities, discontinued the exploitation of
the gold ore reserves in the Igarape Bahia mine,  in Carajas.  During the period
Igarape Bahia produced a total of 3,119,000 troy ounces of gold.

As of 07/08/02,  this operational unit has been integrated into the CVRD Carajas
Department  of  Operations,  which will  initiate  the  Igarape  Bahia  Phase IV
project. In accordance with a pre-feasibility  study under development,  the ore
deposit is  estimated  to have an annual  production  capacity of 36,000 tons of
copper and 83,600 troy ounces of gold. It is estimated  that the  development of
the mine will begin in mid-2003 and production will begin in 2004.

To the Board of Directors
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce

1     We have carried out limited reviews of the Quarterly Financial Information
      - ITR of Companhia  Vale do Rio Doce for the quarters  ended June 30, 2002
      and  2001.  This  financial  information  is  the  responsibility  of  the
      Company's management.


2     Except as mentioned in paragraph  three,  our limited reviews were carried
      out  in  accordance  with  the  specific  procedures  established  by  the
      Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (IBRACON), in conjunction with
      the Federal  Accounting  Board,  and consisted mainly of: (a) inquires and
      discussion  with the officers  responsible  for the Company's  accounting,
      financial and operational areas about the procedures adopted for preparing
      the  Quarterly  Financial  Information  -  ITR,  and  (b)  review  of  the
      information  and  subsequent  events  which  have,  or may have,  relevant
      effects on the Company's financial position and operations.

3     The  financial  statements  at June 30,  2002  and  2001,  of  subsidiary,
      jointly-owned  and  associated  companies,  in which  there  are  relevant
      investments, have not been reviewed by independent accountants.  Thus, the
      conclusions  resulting  from our  reviews  do not cover the  amounts of R$
      6,909,059 thousand (2001 - R$ 6,603,856 thousand) of these investments and
      R$ 909,701 thousand (2001 - R$ 321,767 thousand) of the income produced by
      them for the quarters then ended.

4     Based on our limited  reviews,  except for the effects of any  adjustments
      which  might  have  been  required  if  the  financial  statements  of the
      subsidiary,  jointly-owned and associated companies mentioned in paragraph
      3 had been reviewed by  independent  accountants,  we are not aware of any
      relevant  adjustments  which  should  be made to the  Quarterly  Financial
      Information - ITR,  referred to in paragraph 1, for it to be in accordance
      with  the  rules  issued  by the  Brazilian  Securities  Commission  - CVM
      specifically   applicable  to  the  preparation  of  obligatory  Quarterly
      Financial Information - ITR.

5     The Quarterly  Financial  Information - ITR also contains  accounting  and
      financial  information  relating to the quarter  ended March 31, 2002.  We
      reviewed this  information at the time of its  preparation  and issued our
      respective  report on May 3, 2002,  including the limitation  mentioned in
      paragraph 3.
