Tests were performed for mean differences for the following indicators of the 75 companies in the sample: debt, profitability, debt composition, immobilization of non-current resources and participation of financial result in operating expenses. The following accounting components were also analyzed: fixed assets and net profit.

Already with regard to the profitability, debt composition, immobilization of non-current resources and participation of the financial result in operating expenses, and the components fixed assets and net income, there is no evidence of significant differences in values derived from statements of 2007 “original” and “restratement”.
