8. COGS
NONWOVENS DIVISION
The 2009 vs 2008 decline of 16.4% reflects the adjustment in depreciation and reduction in
raw material prices, the same factors explaining the variations between 4Q09 and 4Q08;
The increase of 4Q09 vs 3Q09 is due basically to the adjustment in depreciation in 3Q09.

15. OUTLOOK
Prospects for 2010 are for an increase in sales volume and operations running at full
capacity given that nonwoven products are sold as a raw material for non-durable
consumer goods. In turn the sale of such goods is directly related to monthly
household income which has been reporting consistent growth for some time and
should continue this trend in the coming years;
The Company’s principal investment, the plant in the United States, is progressing in
line with the forecasted schedule. We believe that it will be possible to maintain the
initial forecast so that operations can begin in the first half of 2011.
