To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ultrapar Participações S.A.
São Paulo - SP


1.
We have reviewed the Quarterly Financial Information of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (the Company) and the consolidated Quarterly Financial Information of the Company and its subsidiaries for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, comprising the balance sheet, the statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, changes in shareholders’ equity, explanatory notes and management report, which are the responsibility of its management.
 
2.
Our review was conducted in accordance with the specific rules set forth by the IBRACON - The Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors, in conjunction with the Federal Accounting Council - CFC and consisted mainly of the following: (a) inquiry and discussion with management responsible for the accounting, financial and operational areas of the Company and its subsidiaries, regarding the main criteria adopted in the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information; and (b) reviewing information and subsequent events that have or may have relevant effects on the financial position and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
3.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made in the accounting information included in the Quarterly Financial Information described above, for these to be in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, especially the Committee for Accounting Pronouncements – CPC n° 21 – Interim Financial Statements and the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), which are applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information.

4.
As per Note n° 2, during the year of 2009 a number of Pronuncements, Interpretations and Techinical Guidance issued by the Committee for Accounting Pronuncements – CPC – were approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), in effect as from January 1, 2010, and changed certain accounting practices adopted in Brazil. These changes were adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries in the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and disclosed in Note n° 2. This Quarterly Financial Information restated herein and, therefore, differ from the one originally presented by the Company as of March 31, 2010, including our review report dated May 4, 2010. The Quarterly Financial Information for the year and period related to 2009, presented herein for comparison purposes, were adjusted to include the changes in the accounting practices adopted in Brazil in effect in 2010.

Notes to the interim financial statements

1.  Operations

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Company”), with headquarters in the City of São Paulo, engages in the investment of its own capital in commercial and industrial activities and related businesses, including the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies.

Through its subsidiaries, it operates in the segment of liquefied petroleum gas - LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), light fuel & lubricant distribution, and related business (“Ipiranga”), production and marketing of chemicals (“Oxiteno”), and provision of logistics services for liquid bulk cargo (“Ultracargo”). The Company also operates a petroleum refining business through its investment in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. (“RPR”).


2.
 First-time adoption of the new pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”)

Pursuant to the requirements of the article 2, paragraph II, of CVM Resolution 603/09, the Company is restating the interim financial information for the 1st quarter of 2010 in accordance with the pronouncements issued in 2009 and 2010.


In order to bring about convergence of the Brazilian accounting rules and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), during the years 2009 and 2010 the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) issued several resolutions approving the CPC pronouncements and established new accounting standards applicable to Brazil, effective 2010 (“New BR GAAP”).


2.1 Transition basis for the adoption of the new CPC pronouncements

The transition date elected by the Company for the application of the New BR GAAP was January 1, 2009, date on which the Company and its subsidiaries prepared its opening balance sheet in accordance with the pronouncements of the New BR GAAP. The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2010, as well as 2009 information included therein, are being restated according to the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3.

The Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 will be the first annual financial statements under the New BR GAAP.

On the transition date, the Company applied CPC 43 (First-Time Adoption of CPC Technical Pronouncements 15 to 40), which establishes the steps to be followed for the adoption of the new pronouncements.

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 

With the purpose of making the financial statements under New BR GAAP equivalent to financial statements under IFRS, CPC 43 defines as the first step for the adoption of the new pronouncements the application of CPC 37 (First-Time Adoption of International Accounting Standards) – equivalent to IFRS 1 (First-Time Adoption of IFRS) – which provides exceptions to and optional exemptions from the retrospective application of the accounting standards.

The Company has applied certain optional exemptions with regard to the full retrospective application of the standards, as summarized below:

a.
Exemption related to business combination before the transition date

The Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption related to business combinations; accordingly, business combinations that occurred before January 1, 2009 were not restated. The main business combinations performed by the Company before the transition date were the acquisitions of Ipiranga in 2007 and União Terminais in 2008.

As permitted by CPC 37, the Company and its subsidiaries extended this exemption to acquisitions of interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, which were not restated in the opening balance sheet as well. The main acquisition of joint venture before the transition date was the acquisition of RPR in 2007.

b.
Exemption related to changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities included in the cost of property, plant and equipment

For New BR GAAP purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries identified the need to include in property, plant and equipment the estimated cost to remove, for decommissioning or restoration purposes, Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations.

Using the exemption permitted by the standard, Ipiranga did not calculate the removal cost of the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 based on the costs at the acquisition time of the respective tanks for recognition in property, plant and equipment. The amount added to the acquisition cost of the tanks in property, plant and equipment was obtained based on the estimated removal cost as of January 1, 2009, which was discounted to the date of acquisition of each tank and then depreciated up to the transition date.

c.
Exemption related to the capitalization of borrowing costs

Regarding borrowing costs incurred before January 1, 2009 and capitalized according to the prior accounting standards, the Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption that allows such costs to be written off in the opening balance sheet against retained earnings, instead of recalculating them on a retroactive basis according to the new rules applicable to the capitalization of borrowing costs.

d.
Exemption related to deemed cost

When recording the initial balance of property, plant and equipment upon the first-time adoption of CPC 27 (Property, Plant and Equipment) and ICPC 10 (Interpretation of the First-Time Adoption of Pronouncements CPCs 27, 28, 37 and 43 to Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property), the Company and its subsidiaries chose not to revise the historical costs of items of property, plant and equipment and not to use the deemed cost, as set forth in paragraphs 20 to 29 of ICPC 10.

The notes below describe the main effects resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP:

a.
Recognition of provision for removal of fuel tanks (asset retirement obligation - ARO)
 
Under the prior accounting standards, there was no requirement to recognize a provision for the liability to remove Ipiranga’s fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations. The Company recognized amounts related to the removal and write-off of tanks as an expense as incurred.

For New BR GAAP purposes, a provision must be recognized for the removal of assets when there is a legal or constructive obligation. The Company has identified that such provision is required for Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks. Therefore, a provision was recognized in the amount of the costs estimated to remove the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 (see Note 2.1.b).

b.  Measurement of property, plant and equipment

b.1) Under the prior accounting practices, subsidiaries capitalized just borrowing costs with specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets. After January 1, 2009, subsidiaries started to capitalize also borrowing costs without specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, based on a weighted average rate of borrowing costs prevailing in each period, according to CPC 20 (Borrowing Costs). Borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the prior accounting practices were written off in the opening balance sheet (see Note 2.1.c).

b.2) Hyperinflationary economy accounting, according to the prior accounting practices, was applied until December 31, 1995. Under the international standards applicable to the New BR GAAP, the Brazilian economy was qualified as a hyperinflationary economy in the years 1996 and 1997.


c.
Write-off of investments in progress

For the prior accounting practices purposes, the Company capitalized the following items:
 
·                 Sundry expenses incurred for Texaco acquisition, which were integrated into goodwill; and

·                 Expenses on the Comperj project, which is related to the future development of a joint business with other companies for the construction of a petrochemical complex.

For New BR GAAP purposes, the expenses described above do not meet the conditions for capitalization and must be recognized in income when incurred.
 
 
d.
Recognition of provisions for contingencies

For New BR GAAP purposes, a provision for contingencies is recognized when the probability that an obligation exists exceeds 50%, while, under the prior accounting practices, a provision was recognized when the likelihood of loss was deemed probable.

e.
Business combination - Texaco acquisition

On April 1, 2009, through its subsidiary Sociedade Brasileira de Participações Ltda., the Company acquired Chevron Brasil Ltda. and Sociedade Anônima de Óleo Galena Signal for an amount of R$ 1,355,509. This acquisition allowed an expansion of the Company’s fuel and lubricant distribution business to the Central-West, Northeast and North Regions of Brazil and an increase in its operating scale, which resulted in benefits for the Company and its resellers, customers, consumers and community.

For the prior accounting practices purposes, the assets and liabilities of acquired entities were recorded at book value. Goodwill was equal to the difference between the price paid, including sundry expenses incurred, and the net book value of the assets. Goodwill was broken down into R$ 398,985, based on expected future profitability, and R$ 344,418, based on the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets.

For New BR GAAP purposes, the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been determined. Acquisition cost has been allocated between the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recognized at fair value. Intangible assets which had not been recognized in the books of the acquired entity were taken into account during identification of assets and liabilities. Sundry expenses incurred were recognized as incurred and were not part of acquisition cost.

The table below summarizes the estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on completion of the acquisition:

Loyalty Program
 
Since March 2009, Ipiranga has a loyalty program called ‘Km de Vantagens’ that rewards registered customers with points when they buy products at Ipiranga gas stations. The customer may exchange the points for discounts on products and services offered by Ipiranga’s partners.
 
Under the prior accounting practices, charges under the program for which Ipiranga was liable (those related to Multiplus Fidelidade partner) were recognized as incurred.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, points received by Ipiranga’s customers for buying products at the gas station chain that may be used in Multiplus Fidelidade are considered as part of the sales revenue based on the fair value of the points granted. Revenue is deferred based on the expected redemption of points, and is recognized in income when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the charges incurred are also recognized in income. Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is recognized in income when the points expire.

i.
Presentation of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries

Under the prior accounting practices, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries were presented separately from shareholders’ equity and deducted from net income in the consolidated financial statements.

For New BR GAAP purposes, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented as part of consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.

j.
Reversal of dividends payable in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends set by the Bylaws

Under the prior accounting practices, at the closing of each fiscal year, dividends and interest on capital proposed by the management, even if not approved at a General Meeting, were recognized as liabilities.

For New BR GAAP purposes, dividends and interest on capital are only recognized when the legal obligation is established; therefore, dividends and interest on capital proposed beyond the requirements of the Bylaws should only be recognized when approved at a General Meeting.
 
Furthermore, for consistency with the New BR GAAP and for a better presentation of the financial statements, certain reclassifications between accounts were made in the balance sheet, in the statement of income and in the statement of cash flows, which had been previously published.

 
3.
Representation of interim financial statements and summary of main accounting practices

The interim financial statements were prepared according to the New BR GAAP, which includes the Brazilian Corporate Law, the standards, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Brazilian Accounting Standards Committee and the rules issued by the CVM, including the CPC’s issued in 2009 and 2010, which are applicable in 2010 (see Note 2).

The Company’s financial statements prepared under the New BR GAAP have only one difference from the IFRS, as expressly permitted by CPC 43, relating to the deferred charges accounted for by the Company, which, on the date of adoption of IFRS, were written off in the opening balance sheet, and the respective amortization was reversed in the subsequent periods (see Note 3.i).

The following is a summary of significant accounting practices followed in the preparation of the financial statements:

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

a.
Recognition of income

Income is recognized on the accrual basis. Revenues from sales and costs are recognized as income when all risks and benefits associated with the products are transferred to the purchaser. Revenues from services provided and their costs are recognized as income when the services are performed. Costs of products sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels/lubricants and LPG), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage and filling costs.

b.
Cash equivalents

Include short-term highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. See Note 5 for further detail on cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.

c.
Financial instruments

In accordance with Resolution CVM 604/09, the financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries were classified into the following categories:

Measured at fair value through income: financial assets held for trading, that is, purchased or created primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term, and derivatives. Changes in fair value are recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value.

Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments or determinable payments, with fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that were not classified into other categories. The interest earned is recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recorded in a specific account of the shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of prepayment.

Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in active markets, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the short term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through income; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those the holder of which cannot substantially recover its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
The Company and its subsidiaries designate certain derivative financial instruments used to hedge against changes in interest rates and variations in the exchange rate as cash flow hedge. In the case of derivatives designed hedge cash flow against changes caused by the variation in interest rates, the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its updated cost is recognized as a valuation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of foreign exchange derivatives designated by subsidiary RPR for hedge of future cash flows, the effect of variation in the derivative is posted to the valuation adjustment in shareholders’ equity until the time when the hedged item affects the income statement. The difference between the fair value of the derivative and updated cost is recognized directly in income of the subsidiary. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of financial instruments prepayment.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to compensate variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of contracted debt in Reais as fair value hedge. Such variations, as well as the difference between the derivative financial instrument fair value and its updated cost, are recognized in the income.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 5, 16, and 23.

d.
Current and non-current assets

The trade accounts receivable are recorded at the amount billed, adjusted to the present value if applicable, including all direct taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any loss on realization of accounts receivable.

Inventories are stated at the lower of average acquisition or production cost, and replacement cost or market value.

The other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, the interest earned, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred or less a provision for loss and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 3.r).

e.
Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued by the equity method of accounting.

Investments in companies in which management has a significant influence or in which it holds 20% or more of the voting stock, or that are part of a group under common control are also accounted for the equity method of accounting (see Note 12).

The other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for loss, unless the loss is considered temporary.

f.  Property, plant and equiment

Recorded at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant and equipment under construction, as well as significant maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages. Property, plant and equipment acquired before December 31, 1997 are adjusted for inflation as of that date, as mentioned in Note 2.2.b.2).

Depreciations are calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 13, taking into account the economic life of the assets, as periodically revised in accordance with ICPC 10 and applied on January 1, 2010. The methodology applied by the independent valuer took into account the economic or technical life estimated by the manufacturer, based on ideal project conditions, adjusted by determinant reduction factors of service and maintenance conditions inherent to the analyzed groups of assets. The following groups were subject to revision:

g.
Financial leases

•           Finance leases

Certain financial lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are stated at fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum payments under the relevant contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated at the depreciation rates applicable to each group of assets in accordance with Note 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to income over the contract term, based on the amortized cost and actual interest rate method (see Note 16.h).

•           Operating leases

Are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract, in accordance with Note 24.d).

h.
Intangible assets

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the following criteria (see Note 14):

• Goodwill is carried at the original value net of income and social contribution taxes less accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated as from January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, and tested annually to verify the existence of probable losses (impairment). In accordance with CPC 15, goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units for impairment testing purposes.

• Bonus expenses as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller gas stations and major consumers are recorded when incurred and amortized according to the term of the agreement.

• Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology and commercial property rights, are measured at the total acquisition cost less accumulated amortization expenses.

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have intangible assets that were created internally or that have an indefinite useful life.

i.
Deferred charges

Deferred charges include restructuring costs that will produce benefits in future years (see Note 15). As permitted by the CPC 43, the Company and its subsidiaries decided to maintain the balances existing as of December 31, 2008 until they are fully amortized and, therefore, the financial statemets under New BR GAAP contain this temporary difference in relation to IFRS.

j.
Current and non-current liabilities

Current and noncurrent liabilities are stated at known or calculable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred until the date of the interim financial statements. When applicable the current and noncurrent liabilities are recorded in present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction. Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary only to accomplish the transactions in order to raise funds through contracting debt or loans or by issuing debt bonds, as well as premiums in the issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are appropriated to their instrument and amortized to income over their term.

k.
Income and social contribution taxes on profit

Current and deferred income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) are calculated based on the current rates of income tax and social contribution on profit, including the value of tax incentives, as stated in Note 10.b).

l.
Assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

This provision corresponds to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations after a certain period. The estimated amount of the obligation to remove this fuel tank is recorded as a liability when the tanks are installed. The amount is recorded in assets and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are adjusted until the respective tank is removed. The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.

m.
Provision for contingencies

The provision for contingencies is created for contingent risks with a probable chance of loss (more-likely-than-not) in the opinion of managers and internal and external legal counsel, and the values are recorded based on evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 24.a).

n.
Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Reserves for actuarial liabilities for post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method, as described in Note 25.b).

Basis for translating  interim financial statements of foreign-based subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V. and its subsidiaries, located in Mexico (functional currency: Mexican Peso), and Oxiteno Andina, C.A., located in Venezuela (functional currency: Bolivares Fortes), denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Real), are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the interim financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized as income if these investments are disposed of. The recorded balance in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of March 31, 2010 was R$ 19,047 of exchange rate loss (R$ 5,302 loss as of December 31, 2009).

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have autonomy, are considered activities of their investor and are translated at the exchange rate in effect by the end of the respective period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income. The gain recognized as income as of March 31, 2010 amounted to R$ 609 (R$ 428 loss as of March 31, 2009).

p.
Use of estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the values of assets and liabilities presented as of the date of the interim financial statements, as well as the values of revenues, costs and expenses for the periods presented. Although these estimates are based on the best information available to management about present and future events, the actual results may differ from these estimates.

q.
Impairment of assets

The Company reviews, at least annually, the carrying value of assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use or disposal. In cases where future expected cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. No impairment was recorded in the abovementioned periods.

r.
Adjustment to present value

The subsidiaries booked the adjustment to present value of ICMS credit balances on property, plant and equipment (CIAP – see Note 8). The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as long-term and, where relevant, short-term assets and liabilities and did not identify the need to adjust other balances to present value.

Relates to the non-eliminated portion of the transactions between RPR and Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”), since RPR is proportionally consolidated and IPP is fully consolidated.

Purchase and sale transactions relate substantially to the purchase of raw materials, inputs, transportation and storage services based on arm’s length market prices and terms with customers and suppliers with comparable operational performance. Borrowing agreements are for an indeterminate period and do not contain interest clauses. In the opinion of the Company’s management, transactions with related parties are not subject to settlement risk, which is why no allowance for doubtful accounts or collaterals are provided. Collaterals provided by the Company in borrowings and financing of subsidiaries and affiliates are mentioned in Note 16.j.) The transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries related to post-employment benefits are described in Note 25.

At a Special General Meeting held on November 26, 2003, a benefit plan was approved for managers of the Company and its subsidiaries, which provides: (i) initial award of beneficial ownership of shares issued by the Company held in treasury by the subsidiaries at which the beneficiary managers are employed; and (ii) transfer of title to the shares within five to ten years after the initial award, subject to continuation of employment of the beneficiary manager with the Company and its subsidiaries. The total amount awarded to executives as of March 31, 2010, including tax charges, was R$ 29,562 (R$ 29,562 as of December 31, 2009). Such amount is being amortized over a period of five to ten years after the award, and amortization for the period ended in March 31, 2010 in the amount of R$ 1,095 (R$ 618 as of March 31, 2009) was recorded as operating expense for the year. The values of the awards were determined on the date of award based on the market value of these shares on the BM&FBovespa.

Software includes user licenses and costs for the implementation of the various systems used by the Company and its subsidiaries, such as: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational transportation and storage management, accounting information and other systems.

The Company records as technology certain rights held by the subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio (“Oxiteno Nordeste”), and Oleoquímica Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Químicos Ltda. (“Oleoquímica”). Such licenses cover the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers, ethoxylates, solvents, fatty acids from vegetable oils, fatty alcohols, and specialty chemicals, which products are supplied to various industries.

Commercial property rights include those described below:

On July 11, 2002, the subsidiary Tequimar executed an agreement with CODEBA – Companhia das Docas do Estado da Bahia, which allows exporting from the area in which the Aratu Terminal is located for 20 years, renewable for a like period. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 12,000, which is being amortized over the period from August 2002 to July 2042.

In addition, the subsidiary Tequimar has a lease contract for an area adjacent to the Port of Santos for 20 years from December 2002, renewable for a like period, which allows the construction, operation, and use of a terminal for liquid bulk unloading, tank storage, handling, and distribution. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 4,334, which is being amortized over the period from August 2005 to December 2022.


Market rights refer mainly to bonus expenses as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller gas stations and major consumers. Bonus expenses are recorded when incurred and recognized as an expense in income over the term of the agreement (typically 5 years).
 
 
Research & development expenses amounted to R$ 4,442 in the income for the period ended March 31, 2010 (R$ 5,477 in the income as of March 31, 2009).

Risks and financial instruments (Consolidated)

Risk management and financial instruments - Governance
The main risk factors to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by the Company’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the Company and its subsidiaries and by their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and establishment of limits.

The Company has a conservative policy for the management of assets, financial instruments and financial risks approved by its Board of Directors (“Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management is to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the proper conduct of business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments and risks is the responsibility of the Financial Area, through its treasury, with the assistance of the tax and accounting areas.
Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, set up more than 10 years ago and composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fund raising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.
Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Continuous enhancement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the Financial Area.

Currency risk
Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for currency risk management is the Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

The subsidiaries of the Company use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are stated below, translated into Reais as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

(1)
Amount disclosed due to its magnitude and to RPR having independent financial management. The net asset position as of March 31, 2010 of RPR reflects the amount of R$ 63.4 million of contracted exchange rate swaps primarily to protect the future import of oil, net of (i) R$ 17.1 million of financing in foreign currency and (ii) R$ 1.7 million of suppliers in foreign currency.

Based on the net liability position of R$ 208.7 million in foreign currency shown above, the Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 20.9 million, of which R$ 25.4 million of financial expense and R$ 4.5 million of gain directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments. Based on the same position, the Company estimates that a 10% valuation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 20.9 million, of which R$ 25.4 million of financial revenue and R$ 4.5 million of loss directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments (see Note 3.o).

Interest rate risk
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative policies for fund raising and use of financial resources and capital cost minimization. The financial investments of the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily held in transactions linked to the interest rate for CDI, as set forth in Note 5. Fund raising primarily results from financing from BNDES and other development agencies, debentures and funds raised in foreign currency, as shown in Note 16.

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of March 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had derivative financial instruments of interest rate linked to domestic loans, swapping pre-fixed interest of certain debts to floating rate.

Credit risks
The financial instruments that would expose the Company and its subsidiaries to credit risks of the counterparty are basically represented by cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and accounts receivable.

Credit risk of financial institutions - Such risk results from the inability of financial institutions to comply with their financial obligations to the Company and its subsidiaries due to insolvency. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly conduct a credit review of the institutions with which they hold cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments through various methodologies that assess liquidity, solvency, leverage, portfolio quality, etc. Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are held only with institutions with a solid credit history, chosen for safety and soundness. The volumes of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Government credit risk - The Company and its subsidiaries have financial investments in federal government bonds of Brazil and countries rated AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies. The volumes of financial investments are subject to maximum limits by country and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Customer credit risk - Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and credit rating and are additionally mitigated by diversification of sales. As of March 31, 2010, Ipiranga maintained R$ 99,011 (R$ 98,330 as of December 31, 2009), Ultragaz maintained R$ 14,394 (R$ 12,719 as of December 31, 2009), Oxiteno maintained R$ 2,338 (R$ 2,089 as of December 31, 2009) and the subsidiaries of Ultracargo maintained R$ 858 (R$ 1,322 as of December 2009) as a provision for potential loss on their accounts and assets receivables.

Selection and use of financial instruments
In selecting financial investments and hedging instruments, an analysis is conducted to estimate rates of return, risks involved, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying value and fair value, and documentation applicable to the financial instruments. The financial instruments used to manage the financial resources of the Company and its subsidiaries are intended to preserve value and liquidity.

The Policy contemplates the use of derivative financial instruments only to cover identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). The risks identified in the Policy are described in the above Sections of this Note, therefore, are subject to risk management. In accordance with the Policy, the Company and its subsidiaries can use forward contracts, swaps, options, and futures contracts to manage identified risks. Leveraged derivative instruments or instruments with a margin call are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

As mentioned in the section Risk management and financial instruments – Governance of this Note, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis.

Hedging instruments existing as of March 31, 2010 are described below, according to their category, risk, and protection strategy:

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency - The purpose of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of debts or firm commitments in U.S. dollars by converting them into debts or firm commitments in Reais linked to CDI. As of March 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 188.7 million in notional amount and, on average, they had asset position at US$ + 5.13% p.a. and liability position at 117.72 % of CDI.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations - The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the turnover of the subsidiaries of Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials. As of March 31, 2010, these swap contracts totaled US$ 70.2 million and, on average, had an asset position at 80.29% of CDI and liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing - The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Reais from fixed into floating. On March 31, 2010 these swap contracts totaled $ 853.0 million, and on average had an asset position at 11.48% p.a. and liability position at 98.5% of CDI.

Hedging against floating interest rate in foreign currency - The purpose of this contract is to convert the interest rate on the syndicated loan in the principal of US$ 60 million from floating into fixed. As of March 31, 2010, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas had a swap contract with a notional amount of US$ 60 million, with an asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 1.25% p.a. and a liability position at US$ + 4.93% p.a.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of a firm commitment in foreign currency (RPR) - The purposes of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates on imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars (US$ 26.6 million) and the financing denominated in foreign currency (US$ 9.8 million). On March 31, 2010 the subsidiary RPR held NDF (non-deliverable forwards) contracts with contracted average future U.S. dollar of R$ 1.8111/US$ and principal, proportional to the Company’s interest of US$ 36.4 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate as cash flow hedges some instruments of protection for future cash flows. These instruments of protection whose purpose is to protect the cash flows (i) from the risk of fluctuations in Libor on loans contracted and (ii) the risk of exchange rate changes of subsidiary RPR on future imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On March 31, 2010 these instruments of protection amounted US$ 86.6 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of financing contracted in Reais as fair value hedge. As of March 31, 2010 these instruments of protection totaled R$ 853.0 million.

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

The fair values of cash on current account are identical to the carrying values.
Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the interim financial statements, which correspond to their fair value.
Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase in the yield curve and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.
The fair value of other financial investments and financing was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries used quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

The interpretation of market information on the choice of calculation methodologies for the fair value requires considerable judgment and estimates to obtain a value deemed appropriate to each situation. Consequently, the estimates presented do not necessary indicate the amounts that may be realized in the current market.

Sensitivity analysis
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments only to hedge against identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). Thus, for purposes of sensitivity analysis of market risks associated with financial instruments, the Company analyzes the hedging instrument and the hedged item together, as shown on the charts below.

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBovespa as of March 31, 2010. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.65 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional devaluation, respectively, of the Real in the likely scenario.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of March 31, 2010, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of March 31, 2010 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

For the sensitivity analysis of the interest rate hedging instrument in dollar, the Company used the future LIBOR curve (BBA – British Bankers Association) as of March 31, 2010 at maturity of the swap and of the syndicated loan (hedged item), which occurs in 2011, in order to define the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, in the estimate of the likely LIBOR.

Based on the three interest rate scenarios in dollar (LIBOR), management estimated the values of its loan and of the hedging instrument by calculating the future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted according to the projected scenarios and adjusting them to present value by the rate in effect on March 31, 2010.

For sensitivity analysis of interest rate instruments of protection in Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract of BM&FBovespa as of March 31, 2010 for each swap and each debt (object of protection) maturities, for defining the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of pre-fixed rate to that of the likely scenario.

Based on three scenarios of interest rates in Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and instruments of protection according to the risk which is being protected (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Reais), by projecting them to future value by the contracted rates and bringing them to present value by the interest rates of the estimated scenarios.

Contingencies and commitments (Consolidated)

a.           Civil, tax and labor proceedings

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Cia Ultragaz”) and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to offset PIS and COFINS credits against other taxes administered by the Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court judgment on May 16, 2008. Under preliminary the injunction obtained, the subsidiaries have been making judicial deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 145,586 as of March 31, 2010 (R$ 135,821 as of December 31, 2009) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

Subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, Utingás Armazenadora S.A. (“Utingás”), Tequimar, Transultra and Ultracargo - Operações Logísticas e Participações Ltda. (“Ultracargo Participações”) have filed actions with a motion for preliminary injunction seeking full and immediate utilization of the supplementary monetary adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (IPC)/National Treasury Bonds (BTN) for 1990 (Law 8200/91); the subsidiaries Cia Ultragaz, Utingás and Tequimar opted to include the contingencies related to their processes within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified the contingencies’ amount to the line of taxes payables. The other subsidiaries maintain a provision of R$ 928 as of March 31, 2010 (R$ 15,436 as of December 31, 2009) to cover any contingencies if they lose such actions.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries have filed actions with a motion for preliminary injunction against the application of the law restricting offset of tax losses (IRPJ) and negative tax bases (CSLL) determined as of December 31, 1994 to 30% of the income for the year. As a result of the position of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and based on the opinion of its legal counsel, a provision was recorded for this contingency in the amount of R$ 6,330 as of March

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

31, 2010 (R$ 7,044 as of December 31, 2009). The subsidiary Ultracargo Participações decided to include an administrative case related to this thesis within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified part of the provisioned contingency to the line of taxes payable.

The subsidiary IPP has proposed a Declaratory Action questioning the constitutionality of Law No. 9316/96, which denied the CSLL from the IRPJ calculation basis. This action had its application denied at lower court levels, and the subsidiary is awaiting the judgment of the appeal made to the STF. As a result of the decisions issued, the subsidiary has constituted judicial deposits and recorded a provision for contingencies amounting to R$ 12,528 as of March 31, 2010 (R$ 12,528 as of December 31, 2009).

Based on the favorable jurisprudence and the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and Oxiteno S.A. filed lawsuits to obtain exclusion of export revenues from the tax base for CSLL. The preliminary injunction was granted to Oxiteno Nordeste and the subsidiary is making judicial deposits of the amounts in discussion, as well as provisioning the corresponding contingency in the amount of R$ 919; the subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. awaits judgment of appeal against the sentence which denied the requested preliminary injunction, and is still normally paying the CSLL.

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Transultra, RPR, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda. (“Tropical”), Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) e IPP, filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax basis. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained a preliminary injunction and are paying the disputed amounts into judicial deposits, as well as recording the respective provision in the amount of R$ 46,617 as of March 31, 2010 (R$ 43,571 as of December 31, 2009); the others subsidiaries did not obtain an injunction and are awaiting the judgment of these lawsuits.

The Company and its subsidiaries obtained preliminary injunctions to pay PIS and COFINS contributions without the changes introduced by Law 9718/98 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of theses taxes on sources other than revenues. In 2005, the STF decided the question in favor of the taxpayer. Although it has set a precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await judgment of their own legal lawsuits. The Company has subsidiaries whose lawsuits have not yet been decided. If all ongoing lawsuits are finally decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income tax and social contribution will reach R$ 34,500, net of attorney’s fees.

The Company and its subsidiaries are recording provision for PIS and COFINS calculated on the basis of the interest on capital. The total amount accrued at March 31, 2010 is R$ 22,006 (R$ 21,724 as of December 31, 2009).

The subsidiariy IPP have provisions for contingencies related to ICMS related mainly to: (a) ownership of the credit for the difference between the value that was the basis for the retention tax and the amount actually practiced in sales to final consumers, resulting in excessive retention of ICMS by the Refinery, R$ 50,485 (b) delinquency notice for interstate sales of fuel to industrial customers without taxation of ICMS, because the interpretation of Article 2 of the LC 87/96, R$ 41,258, (c) requirement of the reversal of ICMS credits in the State of Minas

Gerais, in the interstates, made under Article 33 of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of the credits and was suspended by a preliminary injunction granted by the STF, R$ 39,629, (d) requirement of ICMS-ST on interstate sales from the distributors to final consumers, because there is no retention under the duration of the Conventions ICMS 105/92 and 112/93 R$ 18,604 (e) assessments for deducting of unconditional discounts from the tax basis for ICMS due to tax substitution, in the state of Minas Gerais, R$ 17,019, (f) delinquency notice resulting from lack of ICMS collection in the States due to errors or lack of delivery of reports in interstate operations, contemplated by Convention ICMS 54/02, that enabled the transfer of ICMS to the state of fuel consumption, R$ 4,012, and (g) requirement for the reversal of ICMS credits on transportation services taken during the freight reimbursement system established by the DNC (currently ANP – National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency), R$ 8,965.

The main tax claims of the subsidiary IPP that were considered to pose a possible risk of loss, and based on this position, have not been provided for in the interim financial statements, relate to ICMS and related mainly to: (a) assessments for lack of retention of ICMS-ST in the sale of petroleum products to customers who held decisions designed to separate the tax substitution, R$ 104,660, (b) requirement of proportionate reversal of ICMS credits in view of the acquisitions of hydrous ethanol to give higher values than the its sales, because of the transfer of a portion of financial support for agriculturists (FUPA) made by the distributors upon the acquisitions subsequently reimbursed by the DNC, R$ 71,638, (c) requirement of the reversal credit on the difference between the values that formed the basis for withholding tax and the amounts actually charged on sales to final consumers, R$ 40,316, (d) assessments for alleged non-payment of taxes, R$ 48,268, (e) requirement by SEFAZ RJ-reversal of ICMS credits on purchases of basic oils, due to the subsequent output of finished lubricant without taxation, R$ 35,642, (f) delinquency notice on interstate sales of fuel for industrial customer without ICMS, following the interpretation of Article 2 of LC 87/96, R$ 15,049, (g) records of notices issued in Ourinhos / SP for the operations to return the loan of ethanol made with tax deferral, R$ 18,884, (h) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits generated in interstate shipments made under Article 33 of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of credit and was suspended by an injunction granted by STF, R$ 14,599, (i) disallowance of ICMS credits taken in the bookkeeping of bills considered inapt, though the understanding of the STJ is in the sense that it is possible to take credit for the buyer even if there is defect in the document of the seller, provided that the remains confirmed that the transaction actually took place, R$ 15,376, (j) records of notices issued on the grounds of alleged improper calculation of the base of ICMS, since it was not included in the database to calculate the value of the tax itself in interstate operations with petroleum products for final consumers, R$ 13,182, (k) requiring the reversal of ICMS credits on the freight contract to transport fuel, due to the fact that the operation is not taxed as constitutional non-impact, for R$ 12,770 and (l) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of stock, occurred due to differences in temperature or handling the product in which the review believes that there is input or output without a corresponding issue of invoice, R$ 10,382.

In addition, the subsidiary IPP has infraction of the non-approval of set-off of IPI credits appropriate under inputs taxed whose outputs were under the protection of immunity. The non-provisioned amount of contingency, updated as of March 31, 2010, is R$ 54,780 (R$ 53,288 as of December 31, 2009). The subsidiary also has legal lawsuits to guarantee the compensation of

overpaid PIS values before the declaration of unconstitutionality of Decrees 2445/88 and 2449/88, and decided to include part of these cases within the Law 11941/09 amnesty, recording the corresponding amount of R$ 29,607 as taxes payable. The non-provisioned amount for the others cases updated as of March 31, 2010 is R$ 50,464 (R$ 98,608 as of December 31, 2009).

In 1990, the Union of Workers in Petrochemical Plants, of which the employees of the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are members, filed an action against the subsidiaries to enforce adjustments established under a collective labor agreement, in lieu of the salary policies actually implemented. At the same time, the Employers’ Association proposed a collective bargaining for interpretation and clarification of Clause Four of the agreement. Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, who reviewed the latest decision of STF in the collective bargaining and the position of the individual action of the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste, management of the subsidiaries did not deem it necessary to record a provision as of March 31, 2010.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is facing an administrative case pending before the CADE, for alleged anticompetitive practice in cities in the Triângulo Mineiro region in 2001. Recently, the CADE entered a decision against Cia. Ultragaz imposing a penalty of R$ 23,104. This administrative decision had its execution suspended under court order and the merits are being discussed in court. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiary’s management did not record a provision to this contingency.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is the defendant in legal proceedings for damages arising from an explosion in 1996 in a shopping mall located in the City of Osasco, State of São Paulo. Such proceedings involve: (i) individual proceedings brought by victims of the explosion seeking compensation for loss of income and pain and suffering (ii) request for compensation for expenses of the shopping mall administrator and its insurer; and (iii) class action seeking economic and non-economic damages for all victims injured and dead. The subsidiary believes that it produced evidence that the defective gas pipelines in the shopping mall caused the accident, and Ultragaz’s local LPG storage facilities did not contribute to the explosion. Out of the 64 actions decided to date, 63 were favorable, of which 29 are already shelved; only 1 was adverse and the subsidiary was sentenced to pay R$ 17. There is only 1 action yet to be decided. The subsidiary has insurance coverage for these legal proceedings, and the value not insured is R$ 19,554. The Company did not record any provision for this value because it considers the chances of realization of this contingency as essentially remote.

The Company and its subsidiaries have provisions for settlement of terms of contracts with customers and ex-service providers, as well as environmental issues, in the amount of R$ 86,355 as of March 31, 2010 (R$ 86,792 as of December 31, 2009) and also a provision of R$ 18,098 as of March 31, 2010 (R$ 18,394 as of December 31, 2009) to meet the contingencies of labor litigation.

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings, which were estimated by their legal counsel as possible and/or remote risk (less-likely-than-50%), and the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries also have litigations for recovery of

b.           Contracts

Subsidiary Tequimar has agreements with CODEBA and Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros in connection with its port facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such agreements set a minimum value for cargo movement, as shown below:

Port
Minimun moviment in tons per year

If the annual movement is less than the minimum required, then the subsidiary will have to pay the difference between the actual movement and the minimum required by the agreements, using the port rates in effect at the date established for payment. As of March 31, 2010, such charges were R$ 5.79 and R$ 1.38 per ton for Aratu and Suape, respectively. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement requirements since the beginning of the agreements.

Subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply agreement with Braskem S.A. setting a minimum value for quarterly consumption of ethylene and establishing conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. In case of breach of the minimum purchase commitment, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 40% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall. The provision of minimum purchase

In August 2008, the subsidiary Oxiteno S.A signed an Ethylene Supply Agreement with Quattor Química S.A., maturiting in 2023, which establishes and regulates the conditions for supply of ethylene to Oxiteno based on the international market for this product. The minimum purchase is 19,800 tons of ethylene semiannually. In case of breach, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 30% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall.

c.           Insurance coverage in subsidiaries

The Company maintains appropriate insurance policies to cover several risks to which it is exposed, including asset insurance against losses caused by fire, lightning, explosion of any kind, gale, aircraft crash, and electric damage, and other risks, covering the bases and other branches of all subsidiaries, except RPR, which maintains its own insurance. The maximum compensation value, including loss of profits, based on the risk analysis of maximum loss possible at a certain site is US$ 1,050 million.

The General Responsibility Insurance program covers the Company and its subsidiaries with a maximum aggregate coverage of US$ 400 million against losses caused to third parties as a result of accidents related to commercial and industrial operations and/or distribution and sales of products and services.

Group Life and Personal Accident, Health, National and International Transportation and All Risks insurance policies are also maintained.

The coverages and limits of the insurance policies maintained are based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by local insurance advisors, and the type of insurance is considered by management to be sufficient to cover potential losses based on the nature of the business conducted by the companies. The risk assumptions adopted, given their nature, are not part of the scope of a review on interim financial information, and consequently haven’t been reviewed by our independent accountants.

Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)

a.           ULTRAPREV- Associação de Previdência Complementar

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a defined-contribution pension plan to its employees, which is managed by Ultraprev - Associação de Previdência Complementar. Under the plan, the basic contribution of each participating employee is calculated by multiplying a percentage ranging from 0% to 11%, which is annually defined by the participant based on his/her salary. The sponsor companies match the amount of the basic contribution paid by the participant. As the participants retire, they choose to receive monthly either: (i) a percentage, ranging from 0.5% to 1.0%, of the fund accumulated for the participant with Ultraprev; or (ii) a fixed monthly amount that will exhaust the fund accumulated for the participant within a period ranging from 5 to 25 years. Thus, the Company and its subsidiaries do not assume responsibility for guaranteeing amounts and periods of pension benefits. As of March 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 3,216 (R$ 2,227 as of March 31, 2009) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement for the year. The total number of employees participating in the plan as of March 31, 2010 was 7,162 active participants and 41 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 30 former employees receiving benefits under the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b.           Post-employment benefits

Ipiranga and RPR recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Severance Pay Fund, and health and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The net liabilities for such benefits recorded as of March 31, 2010 are R$ 102,040 (R$ 102,040 as of December 31, 2009), of which R$ 11,955 (R$ 11,960 as of December 31, 2009) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 90,085 (R$ 90,080 as of December 31, 2009) as long-term liabilities.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and are recorded in the interim financial statements in accordance with Resolution CVM 371/2000.

Other information – Market announcement

In March 31, 2010, the Company announced to market that had signed a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) to sell the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses of Ultracargo Participações to Aqces Logística Internacional Ltda. (“Aqces“).The transaction value is R$ 82 million, subject to adjustments on the closing date. Under the terms of the SPA, closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent, notably the segregation of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation operations, with the transfer of the respective assets, contracts, licenses and employees from Ultracargo Participações to its subsidiaries AGT – Armazéns Gerais e Transporte Ltda. (“AGT”) and Petrolog Serviços e Armazéns Gerais Ltda. (“Petrolog”). On the closing date, which is expected to occur in mid-2010, shares of AGT and Petrolog will be transferred to Aqces. This transaction allows Ultracargo Participações to focus exclusively on its liquid bulk storage business, segment in which it has a leadership position and which already represented approximately 85% of the results after the recent acquisitions of União Terminais and Puma and investments in capacity expansions at the Aratu, Santos and Suape terminals.

Considerations on the financial and operational information
 
 
Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information
 
Ultrapar’s financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2009 were prepared in accordance with the accounting directives set out in the Brazilian Corporate Law, being adopted the alterations introduced by Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09 (former Provisional Measure 449/08), as well as the CVM standards, instructions and guidelines, which regulate them. In connection with the process of converging the accounting practices adopted in Brazil to the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), several guidelines, interpretations, and orientations were issued during 2009 and 2010 establishing a new accounting standard in Brazil (“New BR GAAP”). Ultrapar decided to adopt the New BR GAAP in its interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 and information for 2009 contained therein. The interim financial statements for June 30th, 2010 and March 31st, 2010, as well as the information for 2009, were restated and presented in accordance with the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3 to the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.
 
For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the new legislation, we released financial spreadsheets on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) as well as on Ultrapars website (www.ultra.com.br) demonstrating the impacts of the accounting changes introduced by the New BR GAAP on the main line items of the quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010, year ended December 31st, 2009, and nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP is available in notes 2 and 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.
 
The financial information of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno, and Ultracargo is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar. In addition, except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of R$ and, therefore, are subject to rounding off. Consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.
 
Effect of the acquisition of Texaco
In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The results of Texaco were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements from April 1st, 2009, after the closing of the transaction on March 31st, 2009. Ultrapar’s financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.

(2) Performance Analysis:

Net Sales and Services: Ultrapar’s consolidated net sales and services amounted to R$ 9,933 million in 1Q10, up 55% over 1Q09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards and the growth in sales in all businesses. Compared with 4Q09, Ultrapar’s net sales and services declined by 5% due to seasonality between periods.

Ultragaz: In 1Q10, Ultragaz’s sales volume amounted to 371 thousand tons, up 2% over 1Q09. In the bottled segment, Ultragaz sales volume remained stable compared with 1Q09. In the bulk segment, sales volume grew by 6% due to the higher level of economic activity and recovery of manufacturing activity. Compared with 4Q09, Ultragaz’s sales volume decreased by 7%, as a result of seasonality between periods. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 842 million in 1Q10, up 10% over 1Q09, due to an increase in sales volume, a rise in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment and commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented. Compared with 4Q09, net sales and services declined by 5% as a consequence of seasonally lower sales volume, partially offset by the effect of an increase in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 4,597 thousand cubic meters in 1Q10, 66% higher than that in 1Q09. Sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 69%, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from April 1st, 2009 onwards and the increase in the light vehicle fleet during the last 12 months, especially the increase in sales volume of gasoline due to the lower availability of ethanol. Diesel volume grew by 65% due to the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from April 1st, 2009 onwards and the higher level of economic activity in 1Q10. Compared with 4Q09, sales volume decreased by 8%, especially as a result of seasonality between quarters. Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 8,565 million in 1Q10, up 68% over 1Q09, especially as a result of a 66% increase in sales volume, an increased share of gasoline in the product mix and an increase in ethanol costs due to the reduced availability of the product in 1Q10, partially offset by a reduction in the diesel ex-refinery cost in June 2009. Compared with 4Q09, net sales and services declined by 5%, mainly due to a 8% decrease in sales volume.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 164 thousand tons, up 32% (40 thousand tons) over 1Q09, with a 31% increase in sales volume of specialty chemicals, as a result of the higher level of economic activity compared with 1Q09, initiatives to replace imports and expansions in the production capacity. In the Brazilian market, sales volume rose by 35% (31 thousand tons), with a positive progression in all markets, especially in specialty chemicals sold to the cosmetics, agrochemicals and paints and varnishes industries. Sales volume outside Brazil grew by 26% (10 thousand tons) due to an increase in sales of specialty chemicals as a result of the capacity expansions. Compared with 4Q09, sales volume decreased by 10% (18 thousand tons), as a result of seasonality between quarters. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totaled R$ 472 million in 1Q10, up 3% over 1Q09, despite the 22% stronger Real, as a consequence of the 32% growth in sales volume. Compared with 4Q09, net sales and services declined by 7%, mainly due to the 10% reduction in sales volume.

Ultracargo: In 1Q10, Ultracargo reported a 23% and 25% increase in average effective storage measured in cubic meters compared with 1Q09 and 4Q09, respectively, due to the consolidation of the acquired terminal in Suape in December 2009 and higher volume of operations in Santos and Aratu terminals, as a result of capacity expansions and the economic growth. In the transportation segment, total kilometrage travelled declined by 19% compared with 1Q09, especially due to Ultracargo’s decision to reduce its presence in some segments during 2009. Compared with 4Q09, total kilometrage travelled declined by 3%. Ultracargo’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 82 million in 1Q10, up 1% from 1Q09, despite the 23% increase in average storage, due to a reduction in kilometrage travelled. Compared with 4Q09, Ultracargo’s net sales and services grew by 4%, mainly due to the progression in average storage.

Cost of Good Sold: Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 9,239 million in 1Q10, up 56% from 1Q09, especially as a result of the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards and higher volume of operations in all business. Compared with 4Q09, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold declined by 4%, especially due to seasonality between quarters.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 715 million in 1Q10, up 6% over 1Q09, as a consequence of a 6% increase in ex-refinery cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 and higher

sales volume. Compared with 4Q09, the cost of goods sold declined by 5%, in line with the sales volume variation – higher ex-refinery cost of LPG used in the bulk segment was offset in the quarter by lower distribution costs, especially lower costs with bottles re-qualification.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 8,124 million in 1Q10, up 68% over 1Q09, especially due to a 66% increase in sales volume, an increased share of gasoline in the product mix and an increase in ethanol costs in 1Q10, partially offset by a reduction in the diesel ex-refinery cost in June 2009. In relation to 4Q09, cost of goods sold declined by 4%, due to the 8% reduction in sales volume.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold in 1Q10 amounted to R$ 395 million, up 5% over 1Q09, as a result of the 32% increase in sales volume and higher costs of raw material in dollars, partially offset by the 22% stronger Real. Compared with 4Q09, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold declined by 7%, almost in line with sales volume variation, with variations in raw material prices in dollars offset by those in the exchange rate.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s cost of services provided amounted to R$ 41 million in 1Q10, down 16% over 1Q09, mainly due to its reduced presence in the transportation segment and a R$ 5 million reduction in depreciation resulting from the revision in the useful life of assets. Compared with 4Q09, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided declined by 18%, especially due to increased expenses for scheduled maintenance of terminals in 4Q09 and the R$ 5 million reduction in depreciation.

Gross profit: Ultrapar’s gross profit amounted to R$ 695 million in 1Q10, up 39% from 1Q10 as a consequence of the growth seen in Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. Compared with 4Q09, Ultrapar's gross profit decreased by 7%, as a consequence of seasonality in its businesses.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses: Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 456 million in 1Q10, up 39% from 1Q09, basically as a result of Texaco’s consolidation from 2Q09 onwards and non-recurring expenses related to the integration of its operations into Ultrapar. Compared with 4Q09, Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses declined by 8%.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 88 million in 1Q10, up 33% over 1Q09 as a consequence of (i) increased expenses related to promotional and sales campaigns, (ii) the effects of inflation on personnel expenses, and (iii) higher variable compensation, in line with the earnings progression. Compared with 4Q09, sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11% as a consequence of seasonally lower sales volume.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 285 million in 1Q10, up 59% from 1Q09, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards. In relation to 4Q09, sales, general and administrative expenses declined by 7% due to lower sales volume, partially offset by a concentration of advertising and marketing expenses in the first quarter.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 64 million in 1Q10, up 8% from 1Q09 mainly due to higher freight expenses resulting from the 32% increase in sales volume, partially offset by expense reduction initiatives implemented, lower variable compensation and the effect of a stronger Real over international freight expenses. Compared with 4Q09, Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses declined by 4% especially due to the seasonally lower volume.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 20 million in 1Q10, down 14% from 1Q09, despite the 23% growth in stored volume, especially as a result of its reduced presence in the transportation segment and operational synergies resulting from União Terminais’ integration during 2009. Compared with 4Q09, Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11%, especially due to the higher variable compensation in 4Q09, in line with the strong earnings progression reported in 2009.

Income from Operations before Financial Items: Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items amounted to R$ 246 million in 1Q10, up 36% from 1Q09 as a consequence of the increase in the income from operations before financial items of Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Compared with 4Q09, Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items decreased by 6%, as a consequence of seasonality in its businesses.
 
 
85

 
 
Depreciation and Amortization: Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 1Q10 amounted to R$ 133 million, up R$ 26 million from 1Q09 and down R$ 15 million from 4Q09. The reduction compared with 4Q09 is a result of the revision in the economic useful life of assets in accordance with Technical Standard ICPC (Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee) 10 and in effect from January 1st, 2010 onwards.

Financial result: Ultrapar reported net financial expense of R$ 73 million in 1Q10, R$ 15 million higher than that of 1Q09, mainly as a result of the higher average net debt resulting from the disbursement related to the acquisition of Texaco on March 31st, 2009. Compared with 4Q09, net financial expense decreased by R$ 4 million.

Income and Social Contribution / Benefit of Tax Holidays: Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 51 million in 1Q10, compared with an expense R$ 30 million in 1Q09, basically as a result of a higher pre-tax profit in 1Q10. Compared with 4Q09, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays decreased by 4%.

Net Earnings: Ultrapar’s consolidated net earnings in 1Q10 amounted to R$ 122 million, a growth of 31% over 1Q09 and 8% lower than that of 4Q09, especially due to variations in EBITDA in relation to the compared periods.

EBITDA: Ultrapar’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 379 million in 1Q10, 33% growth over 1Q09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards and EBITDA growth in Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Compared with 4Q09, Ultrapar’s EBITDA declined by 7%, especially due to the seasonal volume reduction between periods.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 71 million in 1Q10, up 36% over 1Q09, especially due to a recovery in margins, to which the operational efficiency programs implemented contributed, and an improvement in the bulk segment performance, partially offset by an increase in expenses related to promotional and sales campaigns and higher variable compensation. Compared with 4Q09, Ultragaz’s EBITDA grew by 16%, despite the seasonally lower volume, especially due to a R$ 7 million extraordinary item related to tax contingencies in 4Q09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 228 million in 1Q10, up 48% over 1Q09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards, the implementation of the operational and administrative synergy plan and the improved product mix. Compared with 4Q09, Ipiranga’s EBITDA decreased by 18%, especially due to the seasonally lower volume.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 38 million in 1Q10, down 19% over 1Q09, especially due to the 22% stronger Real. Compared with 4Q09, Oxiteno’s EBITDA grew by 1%, despite the seasonally lower volume, especially as a result of the gradual recovery in margins, the expense reduction initiatives and the 4% weaker Real. Oxiteno’s unit EBITDA reached US$ 129/ton in 1Q10, up 9% over 4Q09.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 30 million, up 27% and 38% over 1Q09 and 4Q09, especially due to the higher volume of operations in its terminals and operational synergies resulting from União Terminais’ integration during 2009.

The purpose of including EBITDA information is to provide a measure for assessing our ability to generate cash from our operations. The EBITDA presented above was calculated based on the income before financial result, including depreciation and amortization and excluding income on disposal of assets. In managing our business we rely on EBITDA as a means for assessing our operating performance and a portion of our employee profit sharing plan is linked to EBITDA performance. Because EBITDA excludes income on disposal of assets, net financial income (expense), income tax, depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, or levels of income on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, we believe that this type of measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period and making certain related management decisions. We also calculate EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financing. We believe that EBITDA enhances the understanding of our financial performance and our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under Brazilian GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and income taxes, depreciation or capital expenditures and associated charges.

We hereby inform that in accordance with the requirements of CVM Resolution 381/03, our independent auditors KPMG Auditores Independentes have not performed during these first three months of 2010 any service other than the external audit of the financial statements of Ultrapar and affiliated companies and subsidiaries.

The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2010, as well as 2009 information included therein, are being restated according to the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3.
 
The Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 will be the first annual financial statements under the New BR GAAP.
 
On the transition date, the Company applied CPC 43 (First-Time Adoption of CPC Technical Pronouncements 15 to 40), which establishes the steps to be followed for the adoption of the new pronouncements.

With the purpose of making the financial statements under New BR GAAP equivalent to financial statements under IFRS, CPC 43 defines as the first step for the adoption of the new pronouncements the application of CPC 37 (First-Time Adoption of International Accounting Standards) – equivalent to IFRS 1 (First-Time Adoption of IFRS) – which provides exceptions to and optional exemptions from the retrospective application of the accounting standards.
 
The Company has applied certain optional exemptions with regard to the full retrospective application of the standards, as summarized below:
 
a.  
Exemption related to business combination before the transition date
 
The Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption related to business combinations; accordingly, business combinations that occurred before January 1, 2009 were not restated. The main business combinations performed by the Company before the transition date were the acquisitions of Ipiranga in 2007 and União Terminais in 2008.
 
As permitted by CPC 37, the Company and its subsidiaries extended this exemption to acquisitions of interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, which were not restated in the opening balance sheet as well. The main acquisition of joint venture before the transition date was the acquisition of RPR in 2007.
 
b.  
Exemption related to changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities included in the cost of property, plant and equipment
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries identified the need to include in property, plant and equipment the estimated cost to remove, for decommissioning or restoration purposes, Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations.
 
Using the exemption permitted by the standard, Ipiranga did not calculate the removal cost of the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 based on the costs at the acquisition time of the respective tanks for recognition in property, plant and equipment. The amount added to the acquisition cost of the tanks in property, plant and equipment was obtained based on the estimated removal cost as of January 1, 2009, which was discounted to the date of acquisition of each tank and then depreciated up to the transition date.
 
c.  
Exemption related to the capitalization of borrowing costs
 
Regarding borrowing costs incurred before January 1, 2009 and capitalized according to the prior accounting standards, the Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption that allows such costs to be written off in the opening balance sheet against retained earnings, instead of recalculating them on a retroactive basis according to the new rules applicable to the capitalization of borrowing costs.

Exemption related to deemed cost
 
When recording the initial balance of property, plant and equipment upon the first-time adoption of CPC 27 (Property, Plant and Equipment) and ICPC 10 (Interpretation of the First-Time Adoption of Pronouncements CPCs 27, 28, 37 and 43 to Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property), the Company and its subsidiaries chose not to revise the historical costs of items of property, plant and equipment and not to use the deemed cost, as set forth in paragraphs 20 to 29 of ICPC 10.

The notes below describe the main effects resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP:
 
a.  
Recognition of provision for removal of fuel tanks (asset retirement obligation - ARO)
 
Under the prior accounting standards, there was no requirement to recognize a provision for the liability to remove Ipiranga’s fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations. The Company recognized amounts related to the removal and write-off of tanks as an expense as incurred.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, a provision must be recognized for the removal of assets when there is a legal or constructive obligation. The Company has identified that such provision is required for Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks. Therefore, a provision was recognized in the amount of the costs estimated to remove the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 (see Note 2.1.b).

b.  
Measurement of property, plant and equipment
 
b.1) Under the prior accounting practices, subsidiaries capitalized just borrowing costs with specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets. After January 1, 2009, subsidiaries started to capitalize also borrowing costs without specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, based on a weighted average rate of borrowing costs prevailing in each period, according to CPC 20 (Borrowing Costs). Borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the prior accounting practices were written off in the opening balance sheet (see Note 2.1.c).

b.2) Hyperinflationary economy accounting, according to the prior accounting practices, was applied until December 31, 1995. Under the international standards applicable to the New BR GAAP, the Brazilian economy was qualified as a hyperinflationary economy in the years 1996 and 1997.
 
c.  
Write-off of investments in progress
 
For the prior accounting practices purposes, the Company capitalized the following items:
 
·  Sundry expenses incurred for Texaco acquisition, which were integrated into goodwill; and

·  Expenses on the Comperj project, which is related to the future development of a joint business with other companies for the construction of a petrochemical complex.

For New BR GAAP purposes, the expenses described above do not meet the conditions for capitalization and must be recognized in income when incurred.

d.  
Recognition of provisions for contingencies
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, a provision for contingencies is recognized when the probability that an obligation exists exceeds 50%, while, under the prior accounting practices, a provision was recognized when the likelihood of loss was deemed probable.

e.  
Business combination - Texaco acquisition
 
On April 1, 2009, through its subsidiary Sociedade Brasileira de Participações Ltda., the Company acquired Chevron Brasil Ltda. and Sociedade Anônima de Óleo Galena Signal for an amount of R$ 1,355,509. This acquisition allowed an expansion of the Company’s fuel and lubricant distribution business to the Central-West, Northeast and North Regions of Brazil and an increase in its operating scale, which resulted in benefits for the Company and its resellers, customers, consumers and community.
 
For the prior accounting practices purposes, the assets and liabilities of acquired entities were recorded at book value. Goodwill was equal to the difference between the price paid, including sundry expenses incurred, and the net book value of the assets. Goodwill was broken down into R$ 398,985, based on expected future profitability, and R$ 344,418, based on the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been determined. Acquisition cost has been allocated between the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recognized at fair value. Intangible assets which had not been recognized in the books of the acquired entity were taken into account during identification of assets and liabilities. Sundry expenses incurred were recognized as incurred and were not part of acquisition cost.
 
The table below summarizes the estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on completion of the acquisition:

      R$

Loyalty Program
 
Since March 2009, Ipiranga has a loyalty program called ‘Km de Vantagens’ that rewards registered customers with points when they buy products at Ipiranga gas stations. The customer may exchange the points for discounts on products and services offered by Ipiranga’s partners.
 
Under the prior accounting practices, charges under the program for which Ipiranga was liable (those related to Multiplus Fidelidade partner) were recognized as incurred.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, points received by Ipiranga’s customers for buying products at the gas station chain that may be used in Multiplus Fidelidade are considered as part of the sales revenue based on the fair value of the points granted. Revenue is deferred based on the expected redemption of points, and is recognized in income when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the charges incurred are also recognized in income. Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is recognized in income when the points expire.

i.  
Presentation of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries
 
Under the prior accounting practices, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries were presented separately from shareholders’ equity and deducted from net income in the consolidated financial statements.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented as part of consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.
 
Furthermore, for consistency with the New BR GAAP and for a better presentation of the financial statements, certain reclassifications between accounts were made in the balance sheet, in the statement of income and in the statement of cash flows, which had been previously published.

Representation of interim financial statements and summary of main accounting practices

The  interim financial statements were prepared according to the New BR GAAP, which includes the Brazilian Corporate Law, the standards, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Brazilian Accounting Standards Committee and the rules issued by the CVM, including the CPC’s issued in 2009 and 2010, which are applicable in 2010 (see Note 2).

The Company’s financial statements prepared under the New BR GAAP have only one difference from the IFRS, as expressly permitted by CPC 43, relating to the deferred charges accounted for by the Company, which, on the date of adoption of IFRS, were written off in the opening balance sheet, and the respective amortization was reversed in the subsequent periods (see Note 3.i).

The following is a summary of significant accounting practices followed in the preparation of the financial statements:

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 

a.  
Recognition of income

Income is recognized on the accrual basis. Revenues from sales and costs are recognized as income when all risks and benefits associated with the products are transferred to the purchaser. Revenues from services provided and their costs are recognized as income when the services are performed. Costs of products sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels/lubricants and LPG), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage and filling costs.

b.  
Cash equivalents

Include short-term highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. See Note 5 for further detail on cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.

c.  
Financial instruments

In accordance with Resolution CVM 604/09, the financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries were classified into the following categories:

Measured at fair value through income: financial assets held for trading, that is, purchased or created primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term, and derivatives. Changes in fair value are recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value.

Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments or determinable payments, with fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that were not classified into other categories. The interest earned is recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recorded in a specific account of the shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of prepayment.

Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in active markets, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the short term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through income; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those the holder of which cannot substantially recover its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate certain derivative financial instruments used to hedge against changes in interest rates and variations in the exchange rate as cash flow hedge. In the case of derivatives designed to hedge cash flows against changes caused by the variation in interest rates, the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its updated cost is recognized as a valuation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of foreign exchange derivatives designated by subsidiary RPR for hedge of future cash flows, the effect of variation in the derivative is posted to the valuation adjustment in shareholders’ equity until the time when the hedged item affects the income statement. The difference between the fair value of the derivative and updated cost is recognized directly in income of the subsidiary. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of financial instruments prepayment.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to compensate variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of contracted debt in Reais as fair value hedge. Such variations, as well as the difference between the derivative financial instrument fair value and its updated cost, are recognized in the income.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 5, 16, and 23.

d.  
Current and non-current assets

The trade accounts receivable are recorded at the amount billed, adjusted to the present value if applicable, including all direct taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any loss on realization of accounts receivable.

Inventories are stated at the lower of average acquisition or production cost, and replacement cost or market value.

The other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, the interest earned, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred or less a provision for loss and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 3.r).

e.  
Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued by the equity method of accounting.

Investments in companies in which management has a significant influence or in which it holds 20% or more of the voting stock, or that are part of a group under common control are also accounted for the equity method of accounting (see Note 12).

The other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for loss, unless the loss is considered temporary.

f.  
Property, plant and equipment

Recorded at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant and equipment under construction, as well as significant maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages. Property, plant and equipment acquired before December 31,1997 are adjusted for inflation as of that date, as mentioned in Note 2.2.b).

Depreciations are calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 13, taking into account the economic life of the assets, as periodically revised in accordance with ICPC 10 and applied on January 1, 2010. The methodology applied by the independent valuer took into account the economic or technical life estimated by the manufacturer, based on ideal project conditions, adjusted by determinant reduction factors of service and maintenance conditions inherent to the analyzed groups of assets. The following groups were subject to revision:

   
Weighted
average term of depreciation
   
Weighted average term of depreciation
 
   
(years) - previous
   
(years) - revised

    10       14  
LPG tanks and bottles
    10       13  
Vehicles
    5       9  
IT equipment
    5       5  
 
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the contract term and useful/economic life of the property.

g.  
Financial leases

•           Finance leases

Certain financial lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are stated at fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum payments under the relevant contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated at the depreciation rates applicable to each group of assets in accordance with Note 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to income over the contract term, based on the amortized cost and actual interest rate method (see Note 16.g).

•           Operating leases
 
Are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract, in accordance with Note 24.d).

h.  
Intangible assets

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the following criteria (see Note 14):

•  Goodwill is carried at the original value net of income and social contribution taxes less accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated as from January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, and tested annually to verify the existence of probable losses (impairment). In accordance with CPC 15, goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units for impairment testing purposes.

•  Bonus expenses as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller gas stations and major consumers are recorded when incurred and amortized according to the term of the agreement.

•  Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology and commercial property rights, are measured at the total acquisition cost less accumulated amortization expenses.

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have intangible assets that were created internally or that have an indefinite useful life.

i.  
Deferred charges

Deferred charges include restructuring costs incurred up to December 31, 2008, that will produce benefits in future years (see Note 15). As permitted by the CPC 43, the Company and its subsidiaries decided to maintain the balances existing as of December 31, 2008 until they are fully amortized and, therefore, the financial statemets under New BR GAAP contain this temporary difference in relation to IFRS.

j.  
Current and non-current liabilities

Current and noncurrent liabilities are stated at known or calculable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred until the date of the interim financial statements. When applicable the current and noncurrent liabilities are recorded in present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction. Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary only to accomplish the transactions in order to raise funds through contracting debt or loans or by issuing debt bonds, as well as premiums in the issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are appropriated to their instrument and amortized to income over their term.

k.  
Income and social contribution taxes on profit

Current and deferred income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) are calculated based on the current rates of income tax and social contribution on profit, including the value of tax incentives, as stated in Note 10.b).

l.  
Assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

This provision corresponds to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations after a certain period. The estimated amount of the obligation to remove this fuel tank is recorded as a liability when the tanks are installed. The amount is recorded in assets and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are adjusted until the respective tank is removed. The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.

m.  
Provision for contingencies

The provision for contingencies is created for contingent risks with a probable chance of loss (more-likely-than-not) in the opinion of managers and internal and external legal counsel, and the values are recorded based on evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 24.a).

n.  
Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Reserves for actuarial liabilities for post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method, as described in Note 25.b).

Basis for translating interim financial statements of foreign-based subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V. and its subsidiaries, located in Mexico (functional currency: Mexican Peso), and Oxiteno Andina, C.A., located in Venezuela (functional currency: Bolivares Fortes), denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Real), are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the interim financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized as income if these investments are disposed of. The recorded balance in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of June 30, 2010 was R$ 19,708 of exchange rate loss (R$ 19,047 loss as of March 31, 2010).

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have autonomy, are considered activities of their investor and are translated at the exchange rate in effect by the end of the respective period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income. The gain recognized as income as of June 30, 2010 amounted to R$ 860 (R$ 6,993 loss as of June 30, 2009).

p.  
Use of estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the values of assets and liabilities presented as of the date of the interim financial statements, as well as the values of revenues, costs and expenses for the periods presented. Although these estimates are based on the best information available to management about present and future events, the actual results may differ from these estimates.

q.  
Impairment of assets

The Company reviews, at least annually, the carrying value of assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use or disposal. In cases where future expected cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. No impairment was recorded in the abovementioned periods.

r.  
Adjustment to present value

The subsidiaries booked the adjustment to present value of ICMS credit balances on property, plant and equipment (CIAP – see Note 8). The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as long-term and, where relevant, short-term assets and liabilities and did not identify the need to adjust other balances to present value.

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
In June 2010, in order to simplify the corporate structure and facilitate the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses (see Note 29) the subsidiary Terminal Químico de Aratu S.A. – Tequimar (“Tequimar’) became the parent company of Transultra - Armazenamento e Transporte Especializado Ltda. (“Transultra”).

Investments of one company in the other, balances of asset and liability accounts and revenues and expenses were eliminated, as well as the effects of transactions conducted between the companies. The non-controlling interest by subsidiaries is indicated in the interim financial statements.

Relates to the non-eliminated portion of the transactions between RPR and Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”), since RPR is proportionally consolidated and IPP is fully consolidated.

Purchase and sale transactions relate substantially to the purchase of raw materials, inputs, transportation and storage services based on arm’s length market prices and terms with customers and suppliers with comparable operational performance. Borrowing agreements are for an indeterminate period and do not contain interest clauses. In the opinion of the Company’s management, transactions with related parties are not subject to settlement risk, which is why no allowance for doubtful accounts or collaterals are provided. Collaterals provided by the Company in borrowings and financing of subsidiaries and affiliates are mentioned in Note 16.i.) The transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries related to post-employment benefits are described in Note 25.

c.
Stock compensation plan

At a Special General Meeting held on November 26, 2003, a benefit plan was approved for managers of the Company and its subsidiaries, which provides: (i) initial award of beneficial ownership of shares issued by the Company held in treasury by the subsidiaries at which the beneficiary managers are employed; and (ii) transfer of title to the shares within five to ten years after the initial award, subject to continuation of employment of the beneficiary manager with the Company and its subsidiaries. The total amount awarded to executives as of June 30, 2010, including tax charges, was R$ 29,562 (R$ 29,562 as of March 31, 2010). Such amount is being amortized over a period of five to ten years after the award, and amortization for the period ended in June 30, 2010 in the amount of R$ 2,190 (R$ 1,018 as of June 30, 2009) was recorded as operating expense for the year. The values of the awards were determined on the date of award based on the market value of these shares on the BM&FBovespa.

The chart below summarizes the information on the shares awarded to executives of the Company:

Risks and financial instruments (Consolidated)

Risk management and financial instruments - Governance
The main risk factors to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by the Company’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the Company and its subsidiaries and by their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and establishment of limits.

The Company has a conservative policy for the management of assets, financial instruments and financial risks approved by its Board of Directors (“Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management is to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the proper conduct of business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments and risks is the responsibility of the Financial Area, through its treasury, with the assistance of the tax and accounting areas.
Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, set up more than 10 years ago and composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fund raising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.
Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Continuous enhancement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the Financial Area.

Currency risk
Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for currency risk management is the Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

The subsidiaries of the Company use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are stated below, translated into Reais as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010:

Amount disclosed due to its magnitude and to RPR having independent financial management. The net asset position as of June 30, 2010 of RPR reflects the amount of R$ 79.5 million of contracted exchange rate swaps primarily to protect the future import of oil, net of (i) R$ 17.4 million of financing in foreign currency and (ii) R$ 3.8 million of suppliers in foreign currency.

Based on the net liability position of R$ 193.0 million in foreign currency shown above, the Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 19.3 million, of which R$ 24.6 million of financial expense and R$ 5.3 million of gain directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments. Based on the same position, the Company estimates that a 10% valuation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 19.3 million, of which R$ 24.6 million of financial revenue and R$ 5.3 million of loss directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments (see Note 3.o).

Interest rate risk
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative policies for fund raising and use of financial resources and capital cost minimization. The financial investments of the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily held in transactions linked to the interest rate for CDI, as set forth in Note 5. Fund raising primarily results from financing from BNDES and other development agencies, debentures and funds raised in foreign currency, as shown in Note 16.

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of June 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had derivative financial instruments of interest rate linked to domestic loans, swapping pre-fixed interest of certain debts to floating rate.

Credit risks
The financial instruments that would expose the Company and its subsidiaries to credit risks of the counterparty are basically represented by cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and accounts receivable.

Credit risk of financial institutions - Such risk results from the inability of financial institutions to comply with their financial obligations to the Company and its subsidiaries due to insolvency. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly conduct a credit review of the institutions with which they hold cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments through various methodologies that assess liquidity, solvency, leverage, portfolio quality, etc. Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are held only with institutions with a solid credit history, chosen for safety and soundness. The volumes of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Government credit risk - The Company and its subsidiaries have financial investments in federal government bonds of Brazil and countries rated AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies. The volumes of financial investments are subject to maximum limits by country and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Customer credit risk - Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and credit rating and are additionally mitigated by diversification of sales. As of June 30, 2010, Ipiranga maintained R$ 99,101 (R$ 99,011 as of March 31, 2010), Ultragaz maintained R$ 15,887 (R$ 14,394 as of March 31, 2010), Oxiteno maintained R$ 2,368 (R$ 2,338 as of March 31, 2010) and the subsidiaries of Ultracargo maintained R$ 985 (R$ 858 as of March 31, 2010) as a provision for potential loss on their accounts and assets receivables.

Selection and use of financial instruments
In selecting financial investments and hedging instruments, an analysis is conducted to estimate rates of return, risks involved, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying value and fair value, and documentation applicable to the financial instruments. The financial instruments used to manage the financial resources of the Company and its subsidiaries are intended to preserve value and liquidity.

The Policy contemplates the use of derivative financial instruments only to cover identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). The risks identified in the Policy are described in the above Sections of this Note, therefore, are subject to risk management. In accordance with the Policy, the Company and its subsidiaries can use forward contracts, swaps, options, and futures contracts to manage identified risks. Leveraged derivative instruments or instruments with a margin call are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

As mentioned in the section Risk management and financial instruments – Governance of this Note, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis.

Hedging instruments existing as of June 30, 2010 are described below, according to their category, risk, and protection strategy:

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency - The purpose of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of debts or firm commitments in U.S. dollars by converting them into debts or firm commitments in Reais linked to CDI. As of June 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 189.9 million in notional amount and, on average, they had asset position at US$ + 5.11 p.a. and liability position at 117.44 % of CDI.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations - The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the turnover of the subsidiaries of Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials. As of June 30, 2010, these swap contracts totaled US$ 71.5 million and, on average, had an asset position at 81.48% of CDI and liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing - The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Reais from fixed into floating. On June 30, 2010 these swap contracts totaled R$ 1,809.5 million, and on average had an asset position at 11.81% p.a. and liability position at 98.75% of CDI.

Hedging against floating interest rate in foreign currency - The purpose of this contract is to convert the interest rate on the syndicated loan in the principal of US$ 60 million from floating into fixed. As of June 30, 2010, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas had a swap contract with a notional amount of US$ 60 million, with an asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 1.25% p.a. and a liability position at US$ + 4.93% p.a.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of a firm commitment in foreign currency (RPR) - The purposes of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates on imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars (US$ 34.3 million) and the financing denominated in foreign currency (US$ 9.8 million). On June 30, 2010 the subsidiary RPR held NDF (non-deliverable forwards) contracts with contracted average future U.S. dollar of R$ 1.8692/US$ and principal, proportional to the Company’s interest of US$ 44.1 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate as cash flow hedges some instruments of protection for future cash flows. These instruments of protection whose purpose is to protect the cash flows (i) from the risk of fluctuations in Libor on loans contracted and (ii) the risk of exchange rate changes of subsidiary RPR on future imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On June 30, 2010 these instruments of protection amounted US$ 94.3 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of financing contracted in Reais as fair value hedge. As of June 30, 2010 these instruments of protection totaled R$ 1,809.5 million.

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

The fair values of cash on current account are identical to the carrying values.
Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the interim financial statements, which correspond to their fair value.
Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase in the yield curve and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.
The fair value of other financial investments and financing was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries used quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

The interpretation of market information on the choice of calculation methodologies for the fair value requires considerable judgment and estimates to obtain a value deemed appropriate to each situation. Consequently, the estimates presented do not necessary indicate the amounts that may be realized in the current market.

Sensitivity analysis
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments only to hedge against identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). Thus, for purposes of sensitivity analysis of market risks associated with financial instruments, the Company analyzes the hedging instrument and the hedged item together, as shown on the charts below.

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBovespa as of June 30, 2010. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.68 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional devaluation, respectively, of the Real in the likely scenario.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of June 30, 2010, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of June 30, 2010 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

For the sensitivity analysis of the interest rate hedging instrument in dollar, the Company used the future LIBOR curve (BBA – British Bankers Association) as of June 30, 2010 at maturity of the swap and of the syndicated loan (hedged item), which occurs in 2011, in order to define the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, in the estimate of the likely LIBOR.

Based on the three interest rate scenarios in dollar (LIBOR), management estimated the values of its loan and of the hedging instrument by calculating the future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted according to the projected scenarios and adjusting them to present value by the rate in effect on June 30, 2010. The result is stated on the table below:

For sensitivity analysis of interest rate instruments of protection in Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract of BM&FBovespa as of June 30, 2010 for each swap and each debt (object of protection) maturities, for defining the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of pre-fixed rate to that of the likely scenario.

Based on three scenarios of interest rates in Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and instruments of protection according to the risk which is being protected (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Reais), by projecting them to future value by the contracted rates and bringing them to present value by the interest rates of the estimated scenarios. The result is shown in the table below:

Civil, tax and labor proceedings

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Cia Ultragaz”) and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to offset PIS and COFINS credits against other taxes administered by the Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court judgment on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction obtained, the subsidiaries have been making judicial deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 150,297 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 145,586 as of March 31, 2010) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

Subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, Utingás Armazenadora S.A. (“Utingás”), Tequimar, Transultra and Ultracargo - Operações Logísticas e Participações Ltda. (“Ultracargo Participações”) have filed actions with a motion for preliminary  injunction seeking full and immediate utilization of the supplementary monetary adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (IPC)/National Treasury Bonds (BTN) for 1990 (Law 8200/91); the subsidiaries Cia Ultragaz, Utingás and Tequimar opted to include the contingencies related to their processes within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified the contingencies’ amount to the line of taxes payables. The other subsidiaries maintain a provision of R$ 944 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 928 as of March 31, 2010) to cover any contingencies if they lose such actions.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries have filed actions with a motion for preliminary injunction against the application of the law restricting offset of tax losses (IRPJ) and negative tax bases (CSLL) determined as of December 31, 1994 to 30% of the income for the year. As a result of the position of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and based on the opinion of its legal counsel, a provision was recorded for this contingency in the amount of R$ 6,375 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 6,330 as of March 31, 2010). The subsidiary Ultracargo Participações decided to include an administrative case related to this thesis within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified part of the provisioned contingency to the line of taxes payable.

The subsidiary IPP has proposed a Declaratory Action questioning the constitutionality of Law No. 9316/96, which denied the CSLL from the IRPJ calculation basis. This action had its application denied at lower court levels, and the subsidiary is awaiting the judgment of the appeal made to the STF. As a result of the decisions issued, the subsidiary has constituted judicial deposits and recorded a provision for contingencies amounting to R$ 12,528 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 12,528 as of March 31, 2010).

Based on the favorable jurisprudence and the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and Oxiteno S.A. filed lawsuits to obtain exclusion of export revenues from the tax base for CSLL. The preliminary injunction was granted to Oxiteno Nordeste and the subsidiary is making judicial deposits of the amounts in discussion, as well as provisioning the corresponding contingency in the amount of R$ 938; the subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. awaits judgment of appeal against the sentence which denied the requested preliminary injunction, and is still normally paying the CSLL.

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Transultra, RPR, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda. (“Tropical”), Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) e IPP, filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax basis. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained an injunction and are paying the disputed amounts into judicial deposits, as well as recording the respective provision in the amount of R$ 49,436 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 46,617 as of March 31, 2010); the others subsidiaries did not obtain a preliminary injunction and are awaiting the judgment of these lawsuits.

The Company and its subsidiaries obtained preliminary injunctions to pay PIS and COFINS contributions without the changes introduced by Law 9718/98 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of theses taxes on sources other than revenues. In 2005, the STF decided the question in favor of the taxpayer. Although it has set a precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await judgment of their own legal lawsuits. The Company has subsidiaries whose lawsuits have not yet been decided. If all ongoing lawsuits are finally decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income tax and social contribution will reach R$ 34,824, net of attorney’s fees.

The Company and its subsidiaries are recording provision for PIS and COFINS calculated on the basis of the interest on capital. The total amount accrued at June 30, 2010 is R$ 22,317 (R$ 22,006 as of March 31, 2010).

The subsidiary IPP has provisions for contingencies related to ICMS related mainly to: (a) ownership of the credit for the difference between the value that was the basis for the retention tax and the amount actually practiced in sales to final consumers, resulting in excessive retention of ICMS by the Refinery, R$ 29,297 (b) delinquency notice for interstate sales of fuel to industrial customers without taxation of ICMS, because the interpretation of Article 2 of the LC 87/96, R$ 26,643, (c) requirement of the reversal of ICMS credits in the State of Minas Gerais, in the interstates, made under Article 33 of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of the credits and was suspended by a preliminary injunction granted by the STF, R$ 33,753, (d) requirement of ICMS-ST on interstate sales from the distributors to final consumers, because there is no retention under the duration of the Conventions ICMS 105/92 and 112/93 R$ 7,794 (e) assessments for deducting of unconditional discounts from the tax basis for ICMS due to tax substitution, in the state of Minas Gerais, R$ 17,193 , (f) delinquency notice resulting from lack of ICMS collection in the States due to errors or lack of delivery of reports in interstate operations, contemplated by Convention ICMS 54/02, that enabled the transfer of ICMS to the state of fuel consumption, R$ 4,129, and (g) requirement for the reversal of ICMS credits on transportation services taken during the freight reimbursement system established by the DNC (currently ANP – National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency), R$ 9,043. In the second quarter of 2010, the subsidiary IPP adhered to the amnesties granted by the states of Goiás, Pará, Paraíba, Tocantins and Paraná and partially paid its contingent liabilities.

The main tax claims of the subsidiary IPP that were considered to pose a possible risk of loss, and based on this position, have not been provided for in the interim financial statements, relate to ICMS and related mainly to: (a) assessments for lack of retention of ICMS-ST in the sale of petroleum products to customers who held decisions designed to separate the tax substitution, R$ 68,339, (b) requirement of proportionate reversal of ICMS credits in view of the acquisitions of hydrous ethanol to give higher values than the its sales, because of the transfer of a portion of financial support for agriculturists (FUPA) made by the distributors upon the acquisitions subsequently reimbursed by the DNC, R$ 24,338, (c) requirement of the reversal credit on the difference between the values that formed the basis for withholding tax and the amounts actually charged on sales to final consumers, R$ 40,727, (d) assessments for alleged non-payment of taxes, R$ 22,440, (e) requirement by SEFAZ RJ-reversal of ICMS credits on purchases of basic oils, due to the subsequent output of finished lubricant without taxation,

R$ 36,005, (f) delinquency notice on interstate sales of fuel for industrial customer without ICMS, following the interpretation of Article 2 of LC 87/96, R$ 6,221, (g) records of notices issued in Ourinhos / SP for the operations to return the loan of ethanol made with tax deferral, R$ 19,077, (h) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits generated in interstate shipments made under Article 33 of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of credit and was suspended by a preliminary injunction granted by STF, R$ 14,748, (i) disallowance of ICMS credits taken in the bookkeeping of bills considered inapt, though the understanding of the STJ is in the sense that it is possible to take credit for the buyer even if there is defect in the document of the seller, provided that the remains confirmed that the transaction actually took place, R$15,524, (j) records of notices issued on the grounds of alleged improper calculation of the base of ICMS, since it was not included in the database to calculate the value of the tax itself in interstate operations with petroleum products for final consumers, R$ 11,521, (k) requiring the reversal of ICMS credits on the freight contract to transport fuel, due to the fact that the operation is not taxed as constitutional non-impact, for R$ 11,893 and (l) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of stock, occurred due to differences in temperature or handling the product in which the review believes that there is input or output without a corresponding issue of invoice, R$ 10,488.

In addition, the subsidiary IPP has infraction of the non-approval of set-off of IPI credits appropriate under inputs taxed whose outputs were under the protection of immunity. The non-provisioned amount of contingency, updated as of June 30, 2010, is R$ 55,339 (R$ 54,780 as of March 31, 2010). The subsidiary also has legal lawsuits to guarantee the compensation of overpaid PIS values before the declaration of unconstitutionality of Decrees 2445/88 and 2449/88, and decided to include part of these cases within the Law 11941/09 amnesty, recording the corresponding amount of R$ 29,670 as taxes payable. The non-provisioned amount for the others cases updated as of June 30, 2010 is R$ 49,760 (R$ 50,464 as of March 31, 2010).

In 1990, the Union of Workers in Petrochemical Plants, of which the employees of the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are members, filed an action against the subsidiaries to enforce adjustments established under a collective labor agreement, in lieu of the salary policies actually implemented. At the same time, the Employers’ Association proposed a collective bargaining for interpretation and clarification of Clause Four of the agreement. Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, who reviewed the latest decision of STF in the collective bargaining and the position of the individual action of the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste, management of the subsidiaries did not deem it necessary to record a provision as of June 30, 2010.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is facing an administrative case pending before the CADE, for alleged anticompetitive practice in cities in the Triângulo Mineiro region in 2001. Recently, the CADE entered a decision against Cia. Ultragaz imposing a penalty of R$ 23,104. This administrative decision had its execution suspended under court order and the merits are being discussed in court. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiary’s management did not record a provision to this contingency.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is the defendant in legal proceedings for damages arising from an explosion in 1996 in a shopping mall located in the City of Osasco, State of São Paulo. Such proceedings involve: (i) individual proceedings brought by victims of the explosion seeking

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
compensation for loss of income and pain and suffering (ii) request for compensation for expenses of the shopping mall administrator and its insurer; and (iii) class action seeking economic and non-economic damages for all victims injured and dead. The subsidiary believes that it produced evidence that the defective gas pipelines in the shopping mall caused the accident, and Ultragaz’s local LPG storage facilities did not contribute to the explosion. Out of the 64 actions decided to date, 63 were favorable, of which 29 are already shelved; only 1 was adverse and the subsidiary was sentenced to pay R$ 17. There is only 1 action yet to be decided. The subsidiary has insurance coverage for these legal proceedings, and the value not insured is R$ 19,554. The Company did not record any provision for this value because it considers the chances of realization of this contingency as essentially remote.

The Company and its subsidiaries have provisions for settlement of terms of contracts with customers and ex-service providers, as well as environmental issues, in the amount of R$ 86,781 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 86,355 as of March 31, 2010) and also a provision of R$ 17,602 as of June 30, 2010 (R$ 18,098 as of March 31, 2010) to meet the contingencies of labor litigation.

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings, which were estimated by their legal counsel as possible and/or remote risk (less-likely-than-50%), and the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries also have litigations for recovery of taxes and contributions, which were not recorded in the interim financial statements due to their contingent nature.

Contracts

Subsidiary Tequimar has agreements with CODEBA and Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros in connection with its port facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such agreements set a minimum value for cargo movement, as shown below:

    400,000       2029  
 
If the annual movement is less than the minimum required, then the subsidiary will have to pay the difference between the actual movement and the minimum required by the agreements, using the port rates in effect at the date established for payment. As of June 30, 2010, such charges were R$ 5.79 and R$ 1.38 per ton for Aratu and Suape, respectively. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement requirements since the beginning of the agreements.

Subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply agreement with Braskem S.A. setting a minimum value for quarterly consumption of ethylene and establishing conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. In case of breach of the minimum purchase commitment, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 40% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall. The provision of minimum purchase commitment is under renegotiation with Braskem, including the minimum purchase commitment related to 2009.

The minimum purchase is 19,800 tons of ethylene semiannually. In case of breach, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 30% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall.

c. 
Insurance coverage in subsidiaries

The Company maintains appropriate insurance policies to cover several risks to which it is exposed, including asset insurance against losses caused by fire, lightning, explosion of any kind, gale, aircraft crash, and electric damage, and other risks, covering the bases and other branches of all subsidiaries, except RPR, which maintains its own insurance. The maximum compensation value, including loss of profits, based on the risk analysis of maximum loss possible at a certain site is US$ 1,050 million.

The General Responsibility Insurance program covers the Company and its subsidiaries with a maximum aggregate coverage of US$ 400 million against losses caused to third parties as a result of accidents related to commercial and industrial operations and/or distribution and sales of products and services.

Group Life and Personal Accident, Health, National and International Transportation and All Risks insurance policies are also maintained.

The coverages and limits of the insurance policies maintained are based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by local insurance advisors, and the type of insurance is considered by management to be sufficient to cover potential losses based on the nature of the business conducted by the companies. The risk assumptions adopted, given their nature, are not part of the scope of a review on interim financial information, and consequently haven’t been reviewed by our independent accountants.

d. 
Operating lease contracts

The subsidiaries IPP and Serma have operating lease contracts for the use of IT equipment.

These contracts have terms of 36 months. The subsidiaries have the option to purchase the assets at a price equal to the fair market price on the date of option, and management does not intend to exercise such option.

The future disbursements (installments), assumed under these contracts, total approximately:

   
06/30/2010
   
03/31/2010
 
             
Up to 1 year
    752       554  
More than 1 year
    776       553  
      1,528       1,107  

The total payments of operating lease recognized as expense for the quarter was R$ 171 (R$ 127 as of June 30, 2009).

Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)

a. 
ULTRAPREV- Associação de Previdência Complementar

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a defined-contribution pension plan to its employees, which is managed by Ultraprev - Associação de Previdência Complementar. Under the plan, the basic contribution of each participating employee is calculated by multiplying a percentage ranging from 0% to 11%, which is annually defined by the participant based on his/her salary. The sponsor companies match the amount of the basic contribution paid by the participant. As the participants retire, they choose to receive monthly either: (i) a percentage, ranging from 0.5% to 1.0%, of the fund accumulated for the participant with Ultraprev; or (ii) a fixed monthly amount that will exhaust the fund accumulated for the participant within a period ranging from 5 to 25 years. Thus, the Company and its subsidiaries do not assume responsibility for guaranteeing amounts and periods of pension benefits. As of June 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 6,414 (R$ 5,107 as of June 30, 2009) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement for the year. The total number of employees participating in the plan as of June 30, 2010 was 7,189 active participants and 45 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 30 former employees receiving benefits under the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b. 
Post-employment benefits

Ipiranga and RPR recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Severance Pay Fund, and health and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The net liabilities for such benefits recorded as of June 30, 2010 are R$ 102,040 (R$ 102,040 as of March 31, 2010), of which R$ 11,955 (R$ 11,955 as of March 31, 2010) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 90,085 (R$ 90,085 as of March 31, 2010) as long-term liabilities.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and are recorded in the interim financial statements in accordance with Resolution CVM 371/2000.

Other information – Market announcement

On July 1, 2010, the Company announced that it had concluded the sale of Ultracargo’s in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses with the transfer of the shares of AGT – Armazéns Gerais e Transporte Ltda. and Petrolog Serviços e Armazéns Gerais Ltda. to Aqces Logística Internacional Ltda. and the receipt of R$ 74 million by Ultracargo, in addition to the R$ 8 million deposit received upon the announcement of the transaction on March 31, 2010.  This transaction allows Ultracargo Participações to focus exclusively on its liquid bulk storage business, segment in which it has a leadership position and which already represented approximately 85% of the results after the recent acquisitions of União Terminais and Puma and investments in capacity expansions at the Aratu, Santos and Suape terminals.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

Ultrapar’s financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2009 were prepared in accordance with the accounting directives set out in the Brazilian Corporate Law, being adopted the alterations introduced by Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09 (former Provisional Measure 449/08), as well as the CVM standards, instructions and guidelines, which regulate them. In connection with the process of converging the accounting practices adopted in Brazil to the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), several guidelines, interpretations, and orientations were issued during 2009 and 2010 establishing a new accounting standard in Brazil (“New BR GAAP”). Ultrapar decided to adopt the New BR GAAP in its interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 and information for 2009 contained therein. The interim financial statements for June 30th, 2010 and March 31st, 2010, as well as the information for 2009, were restated and presented in accordance with the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3 to the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.

For an understanding the effects of the adoption of the new legislation, we released financial spreadsheets on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) as well as on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br) demonstrating the impacts of the accounting changes introduced by the New BR GAAP on the main line items of the quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010, year ended December 31st, 2009, and nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP is available in notes 2 and 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.

The financial information of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno, and Ultracargo is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar. In addition, except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of R$ and, therefore, are subject to rounding off. Consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.

Effect of the acquisition of Texaco
In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The results of Texaco were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements from April 1st, 2009, after the closing of the transaction on March 31st, 2009. Ultrapar’s financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.

Effect of the divestment – Ultracargo’s road transportation, in-house logistics and solid bulk storage
On July 1st, 2010, Ultrapar concluded the sale of Ultracargo’s in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses, with the transfer of the shares of AGT – Armazéns Gerais e Transporte Ltda. and Petrolog Serviços e Armazéns Gerais Ltda. to Aqces Logística Internacional Ltda. and the receipt of R$ 74 million, in addition to the R$ 8 million deposit received upon the announcement of the transaction on March 31st, 2010. Consequently, the financial statements of Ultrapar and Ultracargo from 3Q10 onwards include only the results of the liquid bulk storage business.

(2) Performance Analysis:

Net Sales and Services: Ultrapar’s consolidated net sales and services amounted to R$ 10,383 million in 2Q10, up 8% over 2Q09, as a consequence of the growth in sales in Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Oxiteno. Compared with 1Q10, Ultrapar’s net sales and services increased by 5% due to seasonality between the periods. In the first half of 2010, Ultrapar's net sales and services amounted to R$ 20,316 million, up 27% compared with the first half of 2009, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco's net sales and services from 2Q09 onwards.

Ultragaz: In 2Q10, Ultragaz’s sales volume amounted to 407 thousand tons, up 2% over 2Q09. In the bottled segment, Ultragaz sales volume remained stable compared with 2Q09. In the bulk segment, sales volume grew 4% due to the higher level of economic activity and a recovery in the industrial activity. Compared with 1Q10, Ultragaz’s sales volume increased by 10%, as a result of seasonality between periods. For the first half of 2010, Ultragaz’s sales volume totals 778 thousand tons in sales volume, 2% growth compared with 1H09. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 922 million in 2Q10, up 7% over 2Q09, as a result of higher sales volume, an increase in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 onwards and commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented. Compared with 1Q10, net sales and services increased by 10%, in line with the sales volume progression. For 1H10, Ultragaz’s net sales and services totaled R$ 1,764 million, up 8% from 1H09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 4,984 thousand cubic meters in 2Q10, 8% higher than that in 2Q09. Sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 4%, mainly as a consequence of the increase in the light vehicle fleet during the last 12 months. Diesel volume grew by 11% due to the higher level of economic activity in 2Q10. Compared with 1Q10, sales volume increased by 8% as a result of seasonality between quarters. In 1H10, Ipiranga’s sales volume totals 9,581 thousand cubic meters, up 29% over 1H09, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from 2Q09 onwards. Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 8,843 million in 2Q10, up 8% over 2Q09, in line with sales volume variation. Compared with 1Q10, Ipiranga’s net sales and services revenues grew by 3% as a consequence of the increase in sales volume, partially offset by the lower average price derived from (i) a decrease in the share of gasoline in the product mix in 2Q10 and (ii) the reduction in ethanol cost in 2Q10, due to the increased availability of the product compared with 1Q10. In 1H10, Ipiranga's net sales and services amounted to R$ 17,408 million, a 31% increase compared with 1H09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco's net sales and services from 2Q09 onwards.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 176 thousand tons, up 10% (16 thousand tons) over 2Q09, highlighting the 15% increase in sales volume of specialty chemicals, on the back of higher level of economic activity compared with 2Q09 and enabled by the expansions in the production capacity. In the Brazilian market, sales volume increased by 18% (19 thousand tons), with positive progression in all markets, notably in specialty chemicals sold to the cosmetics, agrochemicals and coatings industries. Sales volume outside Brazil decreased by 7% (4 thousand tons) due to higher spot sales of glycols in 2Q09. Compared with 1Q10, sales volume increased by 7% (12 thousand tons) as a result of seasonality between quarters. Oxiteno’s sales volume for 1H10 totals 339 thousand tons, up 20% over 1H09. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totaled R$ 549 million in 2Q10, up 17% over 2Q09, despite the 14% stronger Real, as a consequence of the recovery in average dollar prices and a 10% growth in sales volume. Compared with 1Q10, Oxiteno’s net sales and services increased by 16%, as a consequence of the recovery in average dollar prices and the seasonally higher volume. Net sales and services in 1H10 totaled R$ 1,021 million, up 10% from 1H09.

Ultracargo: In 2Q10, Ultracargo reported a 14% increase in average effective storage compared with 2Q09, due to the consolidation of the terminal acquired in Suape in December 2009 and higher volume of operations in Aratu terminal, on the back of the capacity expansion completed, partially offset by a reduction in the handling of ethanol. In the transportation segment, total kilometrage travelled in 2Q10 declined by 13% compared with 2Q09, especially due to Ultracargo’s decision to reduce its presence in certain segments during 2009. Compared with 1Q10, Ultracargo’s average effective storage was 4% higher and the total kilometrage travelled increased by 2%. In 1H10, Ultracargo accumulates an 18% increase in the average effective storage of its terminals and a 16% decrease in the total kilometrage travelled. Ultracargo’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 86 million in 2Q10, down 2% from 2Q09, despite the 14% increase in average storage, due to a reduction in kilometrage travelled. Compared with 1Q10, Ultracargo’s net sales and services grew by 5%, mainly due to the progression in average storage. For 1H10, Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 169 million, in line with 1H09.

Cost of Good Sold: Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 9,574 million in 2Q10, up 7% from 2Q09, as a result of the higher volume of operations in all the businesses. Compared with 1Q10, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold increased by 4%, especially due to seasonality between quarters. In the first half of 2010, Ultrapar's cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 18,812 million, a 27% increase compared with the first half of 2009, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco's cost of goods sold from 2Q09 onwards.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 772 million in 2Q10, up 5% over 2Q09, as a consequence of a 6% increase in ex-refinery cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 onwards and higher sales volume. Compared with 1Q10, the cost of products sold increased by 8%, mostly in line with the sales volume variation. For 1H10, Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 1,487 million, 5% higher than that in 1H09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 8,363 million in 2Q10, up 7% over 2Q09, mainly as a result of the 8% growth in sales volume. Compared with 1Q10, the cost of goods sold grew by 3%, lower than the growth of 8% in the volume, as a consequence of (i) a decrease in the share of gasoline in the product mix in 2Q10 and (ii) the decrease in ethanol cost in 2Q10, due to the increased availability of the product compared with 1Q10. In 1H10, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 16,487 million, 31% higher than that reported in 1H09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s cost of goods sold from 2Q09 onwards.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold in 2Q10 amounted to R$ 428 million, up 9% over 2Q09, as a result of the 10% increase in sales volume and higher costs of raw material in dollars, partially offset by the 14% stronger Real. Compared with 1Q10, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold increased by 8%, in line with sales volume variation, while raw material prices in dollars and the exchange rate remained stable in the period. For 1H10, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 823 million, up 7% from 1H09.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s cost of services provided amounted to R$ 43 million in 2Q10, down 16% over 2Q09, mainly due to its reduced presence in the transportation segment and a R$ 6 million reduction in depreciation resulting from the revision in the useful life of assets. Compared with 1Q10, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided grew by 5%, due to the progression in the volume of operations. For 1H10, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided totaled R$ 84 million, down 16% from 1H09.

Gross profit: Ultrapar’s gross profit amounted to R$ 809 million in 2Q10, up 18% from 2Q09 as a consequence of the growth seen in all the businesses.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses: Sales, general and administrative expenses at Ultrapar reached R$ 475 million in 2Q10, down 1% from 2Q09 and up 4% over 1Q10. In the first half of 2010, Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 931 million, up 15% compared with the first half of 2009, basically as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s sales, general and administrative expenses from 2Q09 onwards.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 94 million in 2Q10, up 14% over 2Q09 as a consequence of (i) an increase in personnel expenses, due to the effects of inflation and higher variable compensation, in line with the earnings progression, and (ii) an increase in expenses related to promotional and sales campaigns. Compared with 1Q10, sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 7%, due to the increase in sales volume in 2Q10, partially offset by higher expenses related to promotional and sales campaigns in 1Q10.

For 1H10, Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 181 million, up 23% compared with 1H09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 284 million in 2Q10, down 8% compared with 2Q09, despite the 8% increase in sales volume, due to the expenses related to the conversion of Texaco service stations, integration of acquired operations and the implementation of the operational and administrative synergy plan. Compared with 1Q10, sales, general and administrative expenses remained stable, despite the 8% increase in sales volume, due to higher expenses related to advertising and marketing in 1Q10. For 1H10, Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 568 million, up 16% from 1H09, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco’s sales, general and administrative expenses from 2Q09 onwards.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 74 million in 2Q10, up 11% and 15% compared with 2Q09 and 1Q10 respectively, as a consequence of (i) higher freight expenses resulting from increased sales volume and (ii) higher variable compensation, in line with the strong earnings progression. For 1H10, sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 139 million, up 9% compared with 1H09.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 23 million in 2Q10, up 4% from 2Q09, despite the 14% growth in stored volume and the effects of inflation in the period, mainly as a result of the reduced presence in the transportation segment and operational synergies resulting from União Terminais’ integration during 2009. Compared with 1Q10, Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 16%, especially due to higher indemnification expenses related to the transportation segment in 2Q10. For 1H10, sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 42 million, down 5% compared with 1H09.

Income from Operations before Financial Items: Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items amounted to R$ 334 million in 2Q10, up 54% from 2Q09 as a consequence of the increase in the income from operations before financial items of all the businesses. Compared with 1Q10, Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items was up by 36% due to the seasonality in its businesses. In 1H10, Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items totalled R$ 581 million, a 46% increase compared with 1H09.

Depreciation and Amortization: Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 2Q10 amounted to R$ 131 million, down R$ 4 million and R$ 2 million from 2Q09 and 1Q10, respectively. In 1H10, Ultrapar’s total depreciation costs and expenses amounted to R$ 264 million, up R$ 22 million from 1H09.

Financial result: Ultrapar reported net financial expense of R$ 66 million in 2Q10, R$ 25 million lower than that in 2Q09, mainly as a result of the reduction in the cost of debt and the lower average net debt. The net debt to last 12 months EBITDA ratio decreased from 2.0 times at the end of 2Q09, right after the disbursement for the acquisition of Texaco, to 1.4 times at the end of 2Q10. Compared with 1Q10, net financial expense was R$ 7 million lower. In 1H10, Ultrapar reported net financial expense of R$ 139 million, R$ 9 million lower than that in 1H09.

Income and Social Contribution / Benefit of Tax Holidays: Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 77 million in 2Q10, compared with an expense of R$ 37 million in 2Q09, especially due to the lower pre-tax profit. Compared with 1Q10, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays was up 50%. In 1H10, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays amounted to R$ 128 million, 90% up from 1H09.

Net Earnings: Ultrapar’s consolidated net earnings in 2Q10 amounted to R$ 192 million, a growth of 116% and 57% over 2Q09 and 1Q10, respectively, mainly due to the EBITDA growth and lower financial expenses in 2Q10. In 1H10, Ultrapar reported net earnings of R$ 314 million, a growth of 72% over 1H09.

EBITDA: Ultrapar’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 467 million in 2Q10, 36% and 23% growth over 2Q09 and 1Q10, respectively. In the first half of 2010, Ultrapar’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 846 million, up 34% compared with the first half of 2009 as a result of the EBITDA growth in all the businesses and the consolidation of Texaco’s EBITDA from 2Q09 onwards.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 83 million in 2Q10, up 13% over 2Q09, especially due to a recovery in margins, to which the operational efficiency programs implemented contributed, and an improvement in the bulk segment performance, partially offset by an increase in expenses related to promotional and sales campaigns and higher variable compensation. Compared with 1Q10, Ultragaz’s EBITDA increased by 18%, mainly as a consequence of a seasonally higher volume. For 1H10, Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 154 million, up 22% from 1H09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 268 million in 2Q10, up 42% over 2Q09, mainly on the back of higher sales volume and the implementation of the operational and administrative synergy plan. Compared with

1Q10, Ipiranga’s EBITDA increased by 18%, due to seasonal increase in volumes. For 1H10, Ipiranga’s EBITDA reached R$ 496 million, up 44% from 1H09.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 71 million in 2Q10, up 96% over 2Q09, despite the 14% stronger Real, as a consequence of the 10% increase in sales volume and the recovery in margins. Compared with 1Q10, Oxiteno’s EBITDA increased by 86%, as a consequence of seasonally higher volume and the recovery in margins. Oxiteno’s unit EBITDA reached US$ 225/ton in 2Q10, up 107% and 75% over 2Q09 and 1Q10, respectively. For 1H10, Oxiteno’s EBITDA reached R$ 109 million, up 31% from 1H09.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 28 million in 2Q10, a 1% increase over 2Q09, having the higher volume of operations in its terminals been partially offset by the lower kilometrage travelled in the transportation segment. In relation to 1Q10, the company’s EBITDA decreased by 7%, mainly as a result of higher administrative expenses in 2Q10. For 1H10, Ultracargo’s EBITDA reached R$ 59 million, up 13% from 1H09.

The purpose of including EBITDA information is to provide a measure for assessing our ability to generate cash from our operations. The EBITDA presented above was calculated based on the income before financial result, including depreciation and amortization and excluding income on disposal of assets. In managing our business we rely on EBITDA as a means for assessing our operating performance and a portion of our employee profit sharing plan is linked to EBITDA performance. Because EBITDA excludes income on disposal of assets, net financial income (expense), income tax, depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, or levels of income on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, we believe that this type of measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period and making certain related management decisions. We also calculate EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financing. We believe that EBITDA enhances the understanding of our financial performance and our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under Brazilian GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and income taxes, depreciation or capital expenditures and associated charges.

We hereby inform that, in accordance with the requirements of CVM Resolution 381/03, our independent auditors KPMG Auditores Independentes have not performed during these first six months of 2010 any service other than the external audit of the financial statements of Ultrapar and affiliated companies and subsidiaries.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

 
Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information
 
Ultrapar’s financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2009 were prepared in accordance with the accounting directives set out in the Brazilian Corporate Law, being adopted the alterations introduced by Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09 (former Provisional Measure 449/08), as well as the CVM standards, instructions and guidelines, which regulate them. In connection with the process of converging the accounting practices adopted in Brazil to the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), several guidelines, interpretations, and orientations were issued during 2009 and 2010 establishing a new accounting standard in Brazil (“New BR GAAP”). Ultrapar decided to adopt the New BR GAAP in its interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 and information for 2009 contained therein. The interim financial statements for June 30th, 2010 and March 31st, 2010, as well as the information for 2009, were restated and presented in accordance with the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010, available on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br).
 
In order to allow gradual transition between accounting standards and facilitate comparability of financial statements with periods prior to the adoption of the above-mentioned accounting changes, the amounts presented in this document do not reflect such changes. For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the new legislation, we released financial spreadsheets on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) as well as on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br) demonstrating the impacts of the accounting changes introduced by the New BR GAAP on the main line items of the quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010, year ended December 31st, 2009, and nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP is available in notes 2 and 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.
 
The financial information of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno, and Ultracargo is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar. In addition, except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of R$ and, therefore, are subject to rounding off. Consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.
 
Effect of the acquisition - Texaco
 
In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The results of Texaco were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements from April 1st, 2009, after the closing of the transaction on March 31st, 2009. Ultrapar’s financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.
 
In order to provide a better understanding of the progression of Ipiranga’s recurring results, the table below summarizes Ipiranga’s results for 2Q09, 3Q09, 4Q09, 1Q10, 2Q10, and 3Q10 ex-non-recurring expenses related to the conversion of Texaco service stations into the Ipiranga brand and to the integration of the acquired operations. The analysis and discussion of the progression in Ipiranga’s results presented in this document exclude non-recurring items, in order to provide comparability of the information and better understanding of the company’s performance.

Effect of the divestment - Ultracargo’s road transportation, in-house logistics, and solid bulk storage
 
On July 1st, 2010, Ultrapar sold Ultracargo’s in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses, with the transfer of shares of AGT – Armazéns Gerais e Transporte Ltda. and Petrolog Serviços e Armazéns Gerais Ltda. to Aqces Logística Internacional Ltda. and the receipt of R$ 74 million, in addition to the R$ 8 million deposit received upon announcement of the transaction on March 31st, 2010. Consequently, the financial statements of Ultrapar and Ultracargo from 3Q10 onwards include only the results of the liquid bulk storage business.
 
Effect of the acquisition - DNP
 
On October 26th, 2010, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”). The total value of the acquisition is R$ 85 million, subject to working capital and indebtedness adjustments on the closing date. Ultrapar and Ipiranga’s financial statements will start to consolidate the results of the acquired business from the closing of the acquisition, occurred on November 1st, 2010.

Acquisition of the fuel distributor DNP - On November 1st, 2010, Ultrapar closed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of DNP. The total value of the acquisition is R$ 85 million, with an initial disbursement of R$ 47 million and another R$ 38 million within 60 days after the closing date, subject to adjustments for working capital and indebtedness as of the closing date. DNP distributes fuels in the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima, Acre, Pará, and Mato Grosso through a network of 110 service stations, with 4% market share in the North of Brazil, being the fourth largest fuel distributor in this geographic area. In 2009, the combined volume of diesel, gasoline, and ethanol sold by DNP totaled approximately 260 thousand cubic meters, with EBITDA of R$ 17 million. The acquisition of DNP reinforces the strategy of expansion to the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil, where the consumption growth has been above the national average and the market share of Ipiranga is lower than that in the South and Southeast. The addition of DNP will increase the volume of Ipiranga by 40% in the region and will result in a regional market share of 14%, consolidating Ipiranga as the second largest distributor in the region and allowing a better positioning to capture the fast-paced regional growth and additional benefits from the larger local operating scale.

Ø  
Ultracargo focuses its activities on liquid bulk storage and announces expansion in the Santos terminal - With the completion of the sale of its internal logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation business on July 1st, 2010, Ultracargo concentrated its activities in the liquid bulk storage business, a segment in which it has a leading position and will continue to seek opportunities to leverage the benefits of a growing demand for logistics infrastructure in Brazil. In October 2010, Ultracargo announced the expansion of the storage capacity of its terminal in Santos by 46,000 m³, with an estimated investment of R$ 62 million for 2011. The expanded operations are expected to start up in early 2012. This expansion represents a growth of 18% in Santos terminal’s capacity and 7% in Ultracargo’s overall storage capacity, strengthening Ultracargo’s position in the port of Santos’ region and reinforcing its operating scale.

Executive summary of the results
 
The macroeconomic indicators released during the third quarter of 2010 indicate continued strong growth of the Brazilian economy, as evidenced by the 9% year-over-year growth of the Brazilian GDP in the first half of 2010, boosted by the 14% growth in the manufacturing activity. Such growth has been supported by the expansion in income, employment, and credit availability, with positive effects on the automotive industry, which accumulates a 7% growth in the year-to-date number of light vehicles licensed as of September 2010 over the same period of 2009. The good performance of the Brazilian economy, combined with the public offering of Petrobras’ shares in 3Q10, resulted in a record of foreign investments in Brazil and consequently in a 15% appreciation of the Real in the year. In the international market, commodity prices remained stable, especially the oil price, which ended the 3Q10 at US$ 76/barrel, a similar level compared to 2Q10.
 
In 3Q10, Ultragaz’s sales volume grew by 1% compared with 3Q09, due to the 4% growth in the bulk segment, as a result of the higher level of economic activity. Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 97 million in the quarter, up 3% over 3Q09, mainly as a result of a recovery in margins, to which contributed the operational efficiency programs implemented and the performance in the bulk segment.
 
At Ipiranga, the expansion of the Brazilian economy combined with the continuing growth in the light vehicle fleet resulted in a 10% growth in the fuel sales volume in 3Q10 over the same period of 2009, with a growth of 14% in the volume of diesel and of 6% in the combined volume of gasoline, ethanol, and NGV. Ipiranga’s EBITDA reached R$ 239 million in 3Q10, up 6% over 3Q09.
 
In 3Q10, Oxiteno’s sales volume grew 3% over 3Q09, boosted by the 11% increase in the volume of specialty chemicals sold in the domestic market, as a result of the higher level of economic activity and expansions in the production capacity. Despite the 6% stronger Real, Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 67 million in 3Q10, up 72% from 3Q09, due to the increase in sales volume and the margin recovery, to which contributed the recent stability in raw material prices and an enhanced sales mix, both product and geographic.
 
Ultracargo reported a 21% increase in average storage compared with 3Q09, mainly due to the consolidation of the acquired terminal in Suape in December 2009 and the higher level of occupation in the Santos and Aratu terminals, partially offset by a reduction in ethanol handling. Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 28 million in 3Q10, down 9% from 3Q09, with the growth in average storage in liquid bulk terminals offset by the sale of in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses on July 1st, 2010.
 
Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 437 million in 3Q10, up 18% over 3Q09, due to the EBITDA growth in Ultragaz, Ipiranga, and Oxiteno. Net earnings for 3Q10 reached R$ 211 million, up 58% over 3Q09, especially due to the growth in EBITDA and lower costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization.

Outlook
 
With the acquisition of DNP, we took one more step forward in implementing Ipiranga’s expansion strategy towards the North, Northeast, and Midwest of Brazil, regions that will continue to be the priority in our distribution network expansion plan. In addition, the positive effects of the higher economic activity in diesel sales and visibility for continued growth in the vehicle fleet will further benefit Ipiranga. Ultracargo, focused on liquid bulk storage, will benefit from greater specialization in services provided and the good prospects for the industry, derived from the growing demand for logistics infrastructure and investment opportunities. Ultragaz will continue to reap the good prospects for the bulk segment, in which it is a prominent leader. At Oxiteno, the growth in the volume of specialty chemicals in the domestic market, resulting from the higher economic activity, provides a better sales mix, helping to offset the effects of the Real appreciation seen over the past few quarters. Finally, the good prospects in each of our businesses, combined with our resilience and the greater dynamism of the economy, allow the visibility for maintaining the current growth trajectory of the company’s results.

The Company also operates a petroleum refining business through its investment in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. (“RPR”).

First-time adoption of the new pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”)

In order to bring about convergence of the Brazilian accounting rules and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), during the years 2009 and 2010 the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) issued several resolutions approving the CPC pronouncements and established new accounting standards applicable to Brazil, effective 2010 (“New BR GAAP”).
 

2.1 Transition basis for the adoption of the new CPC pronouncements

The transition date elected by the Company for the application of the New BR GAAP was January 1, 2009, date on which the Company and its subsidiaries prepared its opening balance sheet in accordance with the pronouncements of the New BR GAAP. The interim financial statements as of September 30, 2010, are being stated according to the New BR GAAP, as well as 2009 information included therein, as described in Note 3.
 
The Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 will be the first annual financial statements under the New BR GAAP.
 
On the transition date, the Company applied CPC 43 (First-Time Adoption of CPC Technical Pronouncements 15 to 40), which establishes the steps to be followed for the adoption of the new pronouncements.

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
With the purpose of making the financial statements under New BR GAAP equivalent to financial statements under IFRS, CPC 43 defines as the first step for the adoption of the new pronouncements the application of CPC 37 (First-Time Adoption of International Accounting Standards) – equivalent to IFRS 1 (First-Time Adoption of IFRS) – which provides exceptions to and optional exemptions from the retrospective application of the accounting standards.
 
The Company has applied certain optional exemptions with regard to the full retrospective application of the standards, as summarized below:
 
a.  
Exemption related to business combination before the transition date
 
The Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption related to business combinations; accordingly, business combinations that occurred before January 1, 2009 were not restated. The main business combinations performed by the Company before the transition date were the acquisitions of Ipiranga in 2007 and União Terminais in 2008.
 
As permitted by CPC 37, the Company and its subsidiaries extended this exemption to acquisitions of interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, which were not restated in the opening balance sheet as well. The main acquisition of joint venture before the transition date was the acquisition of RPR in 2007.
 
b.  
Exemption related to changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities included in the cost of property, plant and equipment
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries identified the need to include in property, plant and equipment the estimated cost to remove, for decommissioning or restoration purposes, Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations.
 
Using the exemption permitted by the standard, Ipiranga did not calculate the removal cost of the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 based on the costs at the acquisition time of the respective tanks for recognition in property, plant and equipment. The amount added to the acquisition cost of the tanks in property, plant and equipment was obtained based on the estimated removal cost as of January 1, 2009, which was discounted to the date of acquisition of each tank and then depreciated up to the transition date.
 
c.  
Exemption related to the capitalization of borrowing costs
 
Regarding borrowing costs incurred before January 1, 2009 and capitalized according to the prior accounting standards, the Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption that allows such costs to be written off in the opening balance sheet against retained earnings, instead of recalculating them on a retroactive basis according to the new rules applicable to the capitalization of borrowing costs.

d.  
Exemption related to deemed cost
 
When recording the initial balance of property, plant and equipment upon the first-time adoption of CPC 27 (Property, Plant and Equipment) and ICPC 10 (Interpretation of the First-Time Adoption of Pronouncements CPCs 27, 28, 37 and 43 to Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property), the Company and its subsidiaries chose not to revise the historical costs of items of property, plant and equipment and not to use the deemed cost, as set forth in paragraphs 20 to 29 of ICPC 10.

The notes below describe the main effects resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP:
 
a.  
Recognition of provision for removal of fuel tanks (asset retirement obligation - ARO)
 
Under the prior accounting standards, there was no requirement to recognize a provision for the liability to remove Ipiranga’s fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations. The Company recognized amounts related to the removal and write-off of tanks as an expense as incurred.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, a provision must be recognized for the removal of assets when there is a legal or constructive obligation. The Company has identified that such provision is required for Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks. Therefore, a provision was recognized in the amount of the costs estimated to remove the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 (see Note 2.1.b).

b.  
Measurement of property, plant and equipment
 
b.1) Under the prior accounting practices, subsidiaries capitalized just borrowing costs with specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets. After January 1, 2009, subsidiaries started to capitalize also borrowing costs without specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, based on a weighted average rate of borrowing costs prevailing in each period, according to CPC 20 (Borrowing Costs). Borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the prior accounting practices were written off in the opening balance sheet (see Note 2.1.c).

b.2) Hyperinflationary economy accounting, according to the prior accounting practices, was applied until December 31, 1995. Under the international standards applicable to the New BR GAAP, the Brazilian economy was qualified as a hyperinflationary economy in the years 1996 and 1997.

 
c.  
Write-off of investments in progress
 
For the prior accounting practices purposes, the Company capitalized the following items:
 
· Sundry expenses incurred for Texaco acquisition, which were integrated into goodwill; and

· Expenses on the Comperj project, which is related to the future development of a joint business with other companies for the construction of a petrochemical complex.

For New BR GAAP purposes, the expenses described above do not meet the conditions for capitalization and must be recognized in income when incurred.
 

d.  
Recognition of provisions for contingencies
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, a provision for contingencies is recognized when the probability that an obligation exists exceeds 50%, while, under the prior accounting practices, a provision was recognized when the likelihood of loss was deemed probable.

e.  
Business combination - Texaco acquisition
 
On April 1, 2009, through its subsidiary Sociedade Brasileira de Participações Ltda., the Company acquired Chevron Brasil Ltda. and Sociedade Anônima de Óleo Galena Signal for an amount of R$ 1,355,509. This acquisition allowed an expansion of the Company’s fuel and lubricant distribution business to the Central-West, Northeast and North Regions of Brazil and an increase in its operating scale, which resulted in benefits for the Company and its resellers, customers, consumers and community.
 
For the prior accounting practices purposes, the assets and liabilities of acquired entities were recorded at book value. Goodwill was equal to the difference between the price paid, including sundry expenses incurred, and the net book value of the assets. Goodwill was broken down into R$ 398,985, based on expected future profitability, and R$ 344,418, based on the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been determined. Acquisition cost has been allocated between the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recognized at fair value. Intangible assets which had not been recognized in the books of the acquired entity were taken into account during identification of assets and liabilities. Sundry expenses incurred were recognized as incurred and were not part of acquisition cost.
 
The table below summarizes the estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on completion of the acquisition:

Loyalty Program
 
Since March 2009, Ipiranga has a loyalty program called ‘Km de Vantagens’ that rewards registered customers with points when they buy products at Ipiranga gas stations. The customer may exchange the points for discounts on products and services offered by Ipiranga’s partners.
 
Under the prior accounting practices, charges under the program for which Ipiranga was liable (those related to Multiplus Fidelidade partner) were recognized as incurred.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, points received by Ipiranga’s customers for buying products at the gas station chain that may be used in Multiplus Fidelidade are considered as part of the sales revenue based on the fair value of the points granted. Revenue is deferred based on the expected redemption of points, and is recognized in income when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the charges incurred are also recognized in income. Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is recognized in income when the points expire.

i.  
Presentation of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries
 
Under the prior accounting practices, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries were presented separately from shareholders’ equity and deducted from net income in the consolidated financial statements.
 
For New BR GAAP purposes, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented as part of consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.

Furthermore, for consistency with the New BR GAAP and for a better presentation of the financial statements, certain reclassifications between accounts were made in the balance sheet, in the statement of income and in the statement of cash flows, which had been previously published.

Apresentation of interim financial statements and summary of main accounting practices

The  interim financial statements were prepared according to the New BR GAAP, which includes the Brazilian Corporate Law, the standards, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Brazilian Accounting Standards Committee and the rules issued by the CVM, including the CPC’s issued in 2009 and 2010, which are applicable in 2010 (see Note 2).

The Company’s financial statements prepared under the New BR GAAP have only one difference from the IFRS, as expressly permitted by CPC 43, relating to the deferred charges accounted for by the Company, which, on the date of adoption of IFRS, were written off in the opening balance sheet, and the respective amortization was reversed in the subsequent periods(see Note 3.i).

The following is a summary of significant accounting practices followed in the preparation of the financial statements:

Notes to the interim financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)


 
a.  
Recognition of income

Income is recognized on the accrual basis. Revenues from sales and costs are recognized as income when all risks and benefits associated with the products are transferred to the purchaser. Revenues from services provided and their costs are recognized as income when the services are performed. Costs of products sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels/lubricants and LPG), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage and filling costs.

b.  
Cash equivalents

Include short-term highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. See Note 5 for further detail on cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.

c.  
Financial instruments

In accordance with Resolution CVM 604/09, the financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries were classified into the following categories:

Measured at fair value through income: financial assets held for trading, that is, purchased or created primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term, and derivatives. Changes in fair value are recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value.

Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments or determinable payments, with fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that were not classified into other categories. The interest earned is recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recorded in a specific account of the shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of prepayment.

Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in active markets, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the short term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through income; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those the holder of which cannot substantially recover its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate certain derivative financial instruments used to hedge against changes in interest rates and variations in the exchange rate as cash flow hedge. In the case of derivatives designed to hedge cash flows against changes caused by the variation in interest rates, the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its updated cost is recognized as a valuation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of foreign exchange derivatives designated by subsidiary RPR for hedge of future cash flows, the effect of variation in the derivative is posted to the valuation adjustment in shareholders’ equity until the time when the hedged item affects the income statement. The difference between the fair value of the derivative and updated cost is recognized directly in income of the subsidiary. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of financial instruments prepayment.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to compensate variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of contracted debt in Reais as fair value hedge. Such variations, as well as the difference between the derivative financial instrument fair value and its updated cost, are recognized in the income.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 5, 16, and 23.

d.  
Current and non-current assets

The trade accounts receivable are recorded at the amount billed, adjusted to the present value if applicable, including all direct taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any loss on realization of accounts receivable.

Inventories are stated at the lower of average acquisition or production cost, and replacement cost or market value.

The other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, the interest earned, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred or less a provision for loss and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 3.r).

e.  
Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued by the equity method of accounting.

Investments in companies in which management has a significant influence or in which it holds 20% or more of the voting stock, or that are part of a group under common control are also accounted for the equity method of accounting (see Note 12).

The other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for loss, unless the loss is considered temporary.

f.  
Property, plant and equipment

Recorded at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant and equipment under construction, as well as significant maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages. Property, plant and equipment acquired before December 31,1997 are adjusted for inflation as of that date, as mentioned in Note 2.2.b).

Depreciations are calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 13, taking into account the economic life of the assets, as periodically revised in accordance with ICPC 10 and applied on January 1, 2010. The methodology applied by the independent valuer took into account the economic or technical life estimated by the manufacturer, based on ideal project conditions, adjusted by determinant reduction factors of service and maintenance conditions inherent to the analyzed groups of assets. The following groups were subject to revision:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the contract term and useful/economic life of the property.

g.  
Financial leases

•           Finance leases

Certain financial lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are stated at fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum payments under the relevant contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated at the depreciation rates applicable to each group of assets in accordance with Note 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to income over the contract term, based on the amortized cost and actual interest rate method (see Note 16.g).

•           Operating leases

Are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract, in accordance with Note 24.d).

h.  
Intangible assets

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the following criteria (see Note 14):

• Goodwill is carried at the original value net of income and social contribution taxes less accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated as from January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, and tested annually to verify the existence of probable losses (impairment). In accordance with CPC 15, goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units for impairment testing purposes.

• Bonus expenses as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller gas stations and major consumers are recorded when incurred and amortized according to the term of the agreement.

• Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology and commercial property rights, are measured at the total acquisition cost less accumulated amortization expenses.

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have intangible assets that were created internally or that have an indefinite useful life.


i.  
Deferred charges

Deferred charges include restructuring costs incurred up to December 31, 2008, that will produce benefits in future years (see Note 15). As permitted by the CPC 43, the Company and its subsidiaries decided to maintain the balances existing as of December 31, 2008 until they are fully amortized and, therefore, the financial statemets under New BR GAAP contain this temporary difference in relation to IFRS.

j.  
Current and non-current liabilities

Current and noncurrent liabilities are stated at known or calculable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred until the date of the interim financial statements. When applicable the current and noncurrent liabilities are recorded in present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction. Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary only to accomplish the transactions in order to raise funds through contracting debt or loans or by issuing debt bonds, as well as premiums in the issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are appropriated to their instrument and amortized to income over their term.

k.  
Income and social contribution taxes on profit

Current and deferred income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) are calculated based on the current rates of income tax and social contribution on profit, including the value of tax incentives, as stated in Note 10.b).

l.  
Assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

This provision corresponds to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations after a certain period. The estimated amount of the obligation to remove this fuel tank is recorded as a liability when the tanks are installed. The amount is recorded in assets and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are adjusted until the respective tank is removed. The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.

m.  
Provision for contingencies

The provision for contingencies is created for contingent risks with a probable chance of loss (more-likely-than-not) in the opinion of managers and internal and external legal counsel, and the values are recorded based on evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 24.a).

n.  
Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Reserves for actuarial liabilities for post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method, as described in Note 25.b).

Basis for translating interim financial statements of foreign-based subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V. and its subsidiaries, located in Mexico (functional currency: Mexican Peso), and Oxiteno Andina, C.A., located in Venezuela (functional currency: Bolivares Fortes), denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Real), are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the interim financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized as income if these investments are disposed of. The recorded balance in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of September 30, 2010 was R$ 22,317 of exchange rate loss (R$ 19,708 loss as of June 30, 2010).

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have autonomy, are considered activities of their investor and are translated at the exchange rate in effect by the end of the respective period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income. The loss recognized as income as of September 30, 2010 amounted to R$ 1,029 (R$ 10,079 loss as of September 30, 2009).

p.  
Use of estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the values of assets and liabilities presented as of the date of the interim financial statements, as well as the values of revenues, costs and expenses for the periods presented. Although these estimates are based on the best information available to management about present and future events, the actual results may differ from these estimates.

q.  
Impairment of assets

The Company reviews, at least annually, the carrying value of assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use or disposal. In cases where future expected cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. No impairment was recorded in the abovementioned periods.

r.  
Adjustment to present value

The subsidiaries booked the adjustment to present value of ICMS credit balances on property, plant and equipment (CIAP – see Note 8). The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as long-term and, where relevant, short-term assets and liabilities and did not identify the need to adjust other balances to present value.

Relates to the non-eliminated portion of the transactions between RPR and IPP, since RPR is proportionally consolidated and IPP is fully consolidated.

Purchase and sale transactions relate substantially to the purchase of raw materials, inputs, transportation and storage services based on arm’s length market prices and terms with customers and suppliers with comparable operational performance. Borrowing agreements are for an indeterminate period and do not contain interest clauses. In the opinion of the Company’s management, transactions with related parties are not subject to settlement risk, which is why no allowance for doubtful accounts or collaterals are provided. Collaterals provided by the Company in borrowings and financing of subsidiaries and affiliates are mentioned in Note 16.i.) The transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries related to post-employment benefits are described in Note 25.

c. Stock compensation plan

At a Special General Meeting held on November 26, 2003, a benefit plan was approved for managers of the Company and its subsidiaries, which provides: (i) initial award of beneficial ownership of shares issued by the Company held in treasury by the subsidiaries at which the beneficiary managers are employed; and (ii) transfer of title to the shares within five to ten years after the initial award, subject to continuation of employment of the beneficiary manager with the Company and its subsidiaries. The total amount awarded to executives as of September 30, 2010, including tax charges, was R$ 29,562 (R$ 29,562 as of June 30, 2010). Such amount is being amortized over a period of five to ten years after the award, and amortization for the period ended in September 30, 2010 in the amount of R$ 3,285 (R$ 1,428 as of September 30, 2009) was recorded as operating expense for the year. The values of the awards were determined on the date of award based on the market value of these shares on the BM&FBovespa.

The chart below summarizes the information on the shares awarded to executives of the Company:

Risks and financial instruments (Consolidated)

Risk management and financial instruments - Governance
The main risk factors to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by the Company’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the Company and its subsidiaries and by their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and establishment of limits.

The Company has a conservative policy for the management of assets, financial instruments and financial risks approved by its Board of Directors (“Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management is to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the proper conduct of business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments and risks is the responsibility of the Financial Area, through its treasury, with the assistance of the tax and accounting areas.
Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, set up more than 10 years ago and composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fund raising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.
Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Continuous enhancement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the Financial Area.

Currency risk
Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for currency risk management is the Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

The subsidiaries of the Company use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are stated below, translated into Reais as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

Amount disclosed due to its magnitude and to RPR having independent financial management. The net asset position as of September 30, 2010 of RPR reflects the amount of R$ 82.3 million of contracted exchange rate swaps primarily to protect the future import of oil, net of (i) R$ 18.1 million of financing in foreign currency and (ii) R$ 15.8 million of suppliers in foreign currency.

Based on the net liability position of R$ 74.3 million in foreign currency shown above, the Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 7.4 million, of which R$ 13.1 million of financial expense and R$ 5.7 million of gain directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments. Based on the same position, the Company estimates that a 10% valuation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 7.4 million, of which R$ 13.1 million of financial revenue and R$ 5.7 million of loss directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments (see Note 3.o).

Interest rate risk
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative policies for fund raising and use of financial resources and capital cost minimization. The financial investments of the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily held in transactions linked to the interest rate for CDI, as set forth in Note 5. Fund raising primarily results from financing from BNDES and other development agencies, debentures and funds raised in foreign currency, as shown in Note 16.

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of September 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had derivative financial instruments of interest rate linked to domestic loans, swapping pre-fixed interest of certain debts to floating rate.

Credit risks
The financial instruments that would expose the Company and its subsidiaries to credit risks of the counterparty are basically represented by cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and accounts receivable.

Credit risk of financial institutions - Such risk results from the inability of financial institutions to comply with their financial obligations to the Company and its subsidiaries due to insolvency. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly conduct a credit review of the institutions with which they hold cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments through various methodologies that assess liquidity, solvency, leverage, portfolio quality, etc. Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are held only with institutions with a solid credit history, chosen for safety and soundness. The volumes of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Government credit risk - The Company and its subsidiaries have financial investments in federal government bonds of Brazil and countries rated AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies. The volumes of financial investments are subject to maximum limits by country and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Customer credit risk - Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and credit rating and are additionally mitigated by diversification of sales. As of September 30, 2010, Ipiranga maintained R$ 99,856 (R$ 99,101 as of June 30, 2010), Ultragaz maintained R$ 15,968 (R$ 15,887 as of June 30, 2010), Oxiteno maintained R$ 1,929 (R$ 2,368 as of June 30, 2010) and the subsidiaries of Ultracargo maintained R$ 691 (R$ 985 as of June 30, 2010) as a provision for potential loss on their accounts and assets receivables.

Selection and use of financial instruments
In selecting financial investments and hedging instruments, an analysis is conducted to estimate rates of return, risks involved, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying value and fair value, and documentation applicable to the financial instruments. The financial instruments used to manage the financial resources of the Company and its subsidiaries are intended to preserve value and liquidity.

The Policy contemplates the use of derivative financial instruments only to cover identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). The risks identified in the Policy are described in the above Sections of this Note, therefore, are subject to risk management. In accordance with the Policy, the Company and its subsidiaries can use forward contracts, swaps, options, and futures contracts to manage identified risks. Leveraged derivative instruments or instruments with a margin call are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

As mentioned in the section Risk management and financial instruments – Governance of this Note, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis.

All transactions mentioned above were properly registered with CETIP S.A., except for the LIBOR interest rate swap in U.S. dollars, which is an over-the-counter contract governed by ISDA (International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.) executed with the counterparty Banco Itaú BBA S.A. – Nassau Branch.

Hedging instruments existing as of September 30, 2010 are described below, according to their category, risk, and protection strategy:

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency - The purpose of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of debts or firm commitments in U.S. dollars by converting them into debts or firm commitments in Reais linked to CDI. As of September 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 231.5 million in notional amount and, on average, they had asset position at US$ + 4.16 p.a. and liability position at 110.38 % of CDI.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations - The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the turnover of the subsidiaries of Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials. As of September 30, 2010, these swap contracts totaled US$ 79.7 million and, on average, had an asset position at 77.38% of CDI and liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing - The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Reais from fixed into floating. On September 30, 2010 these swap contracts totaled R$ 1,809.5 million, and on average had an asset position at 11.81% p.a. and liability position at 98.75% of CDI.

Hedging against floating interest rate in foreign currency - The purpose of this contract is to convert the interest rate on the syndicated loan in the principal of US$ 60 million from floating into fixed. As of September 30, 2010, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas had a swap contract with a notional amount of US$ 60 million, with an asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 1.25% p.a. and a liability position at US$ + 4.93% p.a.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of a firm commitment in foreign currency (RPR) - The purposes of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates on imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars (US$ 39.4 million) and the financing denominated in foreign currency (US$ 9.8 million). On September 30, 2010 the subsidiary RPR held NDF (non-deliverable forwards) contracts with contracted average future U.S. dollar of R$ 1.8580/US$ and principal, proportional to the Company’s interest of US$ 49.2 million.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency (RPR) - The purpose of this contract is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of a debt in U.S. dollars by converting it into a debt in Reais linked to CDI. As of September 30, 2010, this swap contract totaled US$ 0.9 million in notional amount, proportional to the Companys interest in RPR and had asset position at US$ + 1.26 p.a. and liability position at 105.5 % of CDI.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate as cash flow hedges some instruments of protection for future cash flows. These instruments of protection whose purpose is to protect the cash flows

(i) from the risk of fluctuations in Libor on loans contracted and (ii) the risk of exchange rate changes of subsidiary RPR on future imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On September 30, 2010 these instruments of protection amounted US$ 99.4 million.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of financing contracted in Reais as fair value hedge. As of September 30, 2010 these instruments of protection totaled R$ 1,809.5 million.

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

The fair values of cash on current account are identical to the carrying values.
Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the interim financial statements, which correspond to their fair value.
Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase in the yield curve and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.
The fair value of other financial investments and financing was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries used quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

The interpretation of market information on the choice of calculation methodologies for the fair value requires considerable judgment and estimates to obtain a value deemed appropriate to each situation. Consequently, the estimates presented do not necessary indicate the amounts that may be realized in the current market.

Sensitivity analysis
The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments only to hedge against identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). Thus, for purposes of sensitivity analysis of market risks associated with financial instruments, the Company analyzes the hedging instrument and the hedged item together, as shown on the charts below.

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBovespa as of September 30, 2010. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.52 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional devaluation, respectively, of the Real in the likely scenario.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of September 30, 2010, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of September 30, 2010 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

For the sensitivity analysis of the interest rate hedging instrument in dollar, the Company used the future LIBOR curve (BBA – British Bankers Association) as of September 30, 2010 at maturity of the swap and of the syndicated loan (hedged item), which occurs in 2011, in order to define the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, in the estimate of the likely LIBOR.

Based on the three interest rate scenarios in dollar (LIBOR), management estimated the values of its loan and of the hedging instrument by calculating the future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted according to the projected scenarios and adjusting them to present value by the rate in effect on September 30, 2010. The result is stated on the table below:

For sensitivity analysis of interest rate instruments of protection in Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract of BM&FBovespa as of September 30, 2010 for each swap and each debt (object of protection) maturities, for defining the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of pre-fixed rate to that of the likely scenario.

Based on three scenarios of interest rates in Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and instruments of protection according to the risk which is being protected (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Reais), by projecting them to future value by the contracted rates and bringing them to present value by the interest rates of the estimated scenarios.

(“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to offset PIS and COFINS credits against other taxes administered by the Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court judgment on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction obtained, the subsidiaries have been making judicial deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 165,128 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 150,297 as of June 30, 2010) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

Subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, Utingás Armazenadora S.A. (“Utingás”), Tequimar, Transultra and Ultracargo Participações have filed actions with a motion for preliminary  injunction seeking full and immediate utilization of the supplementary monetary adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (IPC)/National Treasury Bonds (BTN) for 1990 (Law 8200/91); the subsidiaries Cia Ultragaz, Utingás and Tequimar opted to include the contingencies related to their processes within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified the contingencies’ amount to the line of taxes payables. The other subsidiaries maintain a provision of R$ 962 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 944 as of June 30, 2010) to cover any contingencies if they lose such actions.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries have filed actions with a motion for preliminary injunction against the application of the law restricting offset of tax losses (IRPJ) and negative tax bases (CSLL) determined as of December 31, 1994 to 30% of the income for the year. As a result of the position of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and based on the opinion of its legal counsel, a provision was recorded for this contingency in the amount of R$ 6,428 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 6,375 as of June 30, 2010). The subsidiary Ultracargo Participações decided to include an administrative case related to this thesis within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified part of the provisioned contingency to the line of taxes payable.

The subsidiary IPP has proposed a Declaratory Action questioning the constitutionality of Law No. 9316/96, which denied the CSLL from the IRPJ calculation basis. This action had its application denied at lower court levels, and the subsidiary is awaiting the judgment of the appeal made to the STF. As a result of the decisions issued, the subsidiary has constituted judicial deposits and recorded a provision for contingencies amounting to R$ 12,716 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 12,528 as of June 30, 2010).

The subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and Oxiteno S.A. have a lawsuit for the exclusion of export revenues from the tax base for CSLL. The preliminary injunction was granted to Oxiteno Nordeste and the subsidiary is making judicial deposits of the amounts in discussion, as well as provisioning the corresponding contingency in the amount of R$ 960 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 938 as of June 30, 2010); the subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. awaits judgment of appeal against the sentence which denied the requested preliminary injunction, and is still normally paying the CSLL. Althought in August 2010 the STF has positioned itself against the thesis, this decision is effective just between the parties involved in that lawsuit, not affecting directly the subsidiaries lawsuit.

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Transultra, RPR, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda. (“Tropical”), Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) e IPP, filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax basis. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained an injunction and are paying the disputed amounts into judicial deposits, as well as recording the respective provision in the amount of R$ 53,520 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 49,436 as of June 30, 2010); the others subsidiaries did not obtain a preliminary injunction and are awaiting the judgment of these lawsuits in the Federal Regional Courts.

The Company and its subsidiaries obtained preliminary injunctions to pay PIS and COFINS contributions without the changes introduced by Law 9718/98 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of theses taxes on sources other than revenues. In 2005, the STF decided the question in favor of the taxpayer. Although it has set a precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await judgment of their own legal lawsuits. The Company has subsidiaries whose lawsuits have not yet been decided. If all ongoing lawsuits are finally decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income tax and social contribution will reach R$ 35,201, net of attorney’s fees.

The Company and its subsidiaries are recording provision for PIS and COFINS calculated on the basis of the interest on capital. The total amount accrued is R$ 22,683 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 22,317 as of June 30, 2010).

The subsidiary IPP has provisions for contingencies related to ICMS related mainly to: (a) ownership of the credit for the difference between the value that was the basis for the retention tax and the amount actually practiced in sales to final consumers, resulting in excessive retention of ICMS by the refineries, R$ 9,863 (b) delinquency notice for interstate sales of fuel to industrial customers without taxation of ICMS, because the interpretation of Article 2 of the LC 87/96, R$ 26,829, (c) requirement of the reversal of ICMS credits in the State of Minas Gerais, in the interstates, made under Article 33 of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of the credits and was suspended by a preliminary injunction granted by the STF, R$ 4,072, (d) requirement of ICMS-ST on interstate sales from the distributors to final consumers, because there is no retention under the duration of the Conventions ICMS 105/92 and 112/93 R$ 4,699, (e) attorney’s fees relating to court proceedings for stay of execution, which qualified for tax amnesty in the State of Minas Gerais, because, at the time of qualification, the fees had already been awarded against the subsidiary, R$ 8,848, (f) payment of ICMS on the grounds of lack of payment, where many were the reasons that gave rise to the tax assessments and regarding which the rebuttal evidence was not apparent, R$ 13,947. In the second quarter of 2010, subsidiary IPP adhered to the amnesties granted by the states of Goiás, Pará, Paraíba, Tocantins and Paraná, and in the third quarter adhered to the amnesty granted by the state of Minas Gerais and partially paid its contingent liabilities, reducing its tax liability of ICMS.

The main tax claims of the subsidiary IPP that were considered to pose a possible risk of loss, and based on this position, have not been provided for in the interim financial statements, relate to ICMS and related mainly to: (a) assessments for lack of retention of ICMS-ST in the sale of petroleum products to customers who held decisions designed to separate the tax substitution, R$ 11,733, (b) requirement of proportionate reversal of ICMS credits in view of the acquisitions of hydrous ethanol to give higher values than the its sales, because of the transfer of a portion of financial support for agriculturists (FUPA) made by the distributors upon the acquisitions subsequently reimbursed by the DNC, R$ 81,869, (c) undue credit, relating to recognized ICMS tax credits in the subsidiary tax books, regarding which the Tax Authorities understand that there was no proof of their origin, R$ 13,615 (d) assessments for alleged lack of tax payment, R$ 22,034;  (e) records of notices issued in Ourinhos / SP for the operations to return the loan of ethanol made with tax deferral, R$ 22,078, (f) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits generated in interstate shipments made under Article 33

of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of credit and was suspended by a preliminary injunction granted by STF, R$ 9,688, (g) disallowance of ICMS credits taken in the bookkeeping of bills considered inapt, though the understanding of the STJ is in the sense that it is possible to take credit for the buyer even if there is defect in the document of the seller, provided that the remains confirmed that the transaction actually took place, R$ 17,409, and (h) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of stock, occurred due to differences in temperature or handling the product in which the review believes that there is input or output without a corresponding issue of invoice, R$ 15,269. In addition, assessment notices were issued against subsidiary Tropical relating to the disallowance of ICMS credits legitimately recognized by the company, on the grounds that, allegedly, not all of the formalities required under the applicable law were met. They were classified as a possible loss, for which no provision was recognized, in the amount of R$ 15,864 as of September 30, 2010.

Still on loss contingencies classified as possible, the subsidiary IPP has infraction of the non-approval of set-off of IPI credits appropriate under inputs taxed whose outputs were under the protection of immunity. The non-provisioned amount of contingency, updated as of September 30, 2010, is R$ 57,366 (R$ 55,339 as of June 30, 2010). The subsidiary also has legal lawsuits to guarantee the compensation of overpaid PIS values before the declaration of unconstitutionality of Decrees 2445/88 and 2449/88, and decided to include part of these cases within the Law 11941/09 amnesty, recording the corresponding amount of R$ 29,935 as taxes payable. The non-provisioned amount for the others cases updated as of September 30, 2010 is R$ 50,336 (R$ 49,760 as of June 30, 2010).

In 1990, the Union of Workers in Petrochemical Plants, of which the employees of the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are members, filed an action against the subsidiaries to enforce adjustments established under a collective labor agreement, in lieu of the salary policies actually implemented. At the same time, the Employers’ Association proposed a collective bargaining for interpretation and clarification of Clause Four of the agreement. Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, who reviewed the latest decision of STF in the collective bargaining and the position of the individual action of the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste, management of the subsidiaries did not deem it necessary to record a provision as of September 30, 2010.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is facing an administrative case pending before the CADE, for alleged anticompetitive practice in cities in the Triângulo Mineiro region in 2001. Recently, the CADE entered a decision against Cia. Ultragaz imposing a penalty of R$ 23,104. This administrative decision had its execution suspended under court order and the merits are being discussed in court. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiary’s management did not record a provision to this contingency.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is the defendant in legal proceedings for damages arising from an explosion in 1996 in a shopping mall located in the City of Osasco, State of São Paulo. Such proceedings involve: (i) individual proceedings brought by victims of the explosion seeking compensation for loss of income and pain and suffering (ii) request for compensation for expenses of the shopping mall administrator and its insurer; and (iii) class action seeking economic and non-economic damages for all victims injured and dead. The subsidiary believes that it produced evidence that the defective gas pipelines in the shopping mall caused the

accident, and Ultragaz’s local LPG storage facilities did not contribute to the explosion. Out of the 64 actions decided to date, 63 were favorable, of which 33 are already shelved; only 1 was adverse and the subsidiary was sentenced to pay R$ 17. There is only 1 action yet to be decided. The subsidiary has insurance coverage for these legal proceedings, and the value not insured is R$ 19,554. The Company did not record any provision for this value because it considers the chances of realization of this contingency as essentially remote.

The Company and its subsidiaries have provisions for settlement of terms of contracts with customers and ex-service providers, as well as environmental issues, in the amount of R$ 88,179 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 86,781 as of June 30, 2010) and also a provision of R$ 24,718 as of September 30, 2010 (R$ 17,602 as of June 30, 2010) to meet the contingencies of labor litigation.

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings, which were estimated by their legal counsel as possible and/or remote risk (less-likely-than-50%), and the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries also have litigations for recovery of taxes and contributions, which were not recorded in the interim financial statements due to their contingent nature.

If the annual movement is less than the minimum required, then the subsidiary will have to pay the difference between the actual movement and the minimum required by the agreements, using the port rates in effect at the date established for payment. As of September 30, 2010, such charges were R$ 5.79 and R$ 1.38 per ton for Aratu and Suape, respectively. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement requirements since the beginning of the agreements.

The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. In case of breach of the minimum purchase commitment, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 40% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall. The provision of minimum purchase commitment is under renegotiation with Braskem, including the minimum purchase commitment related to 2009.

c.           Insurance coverage in subsidiaries

The Company maintains appropriate insurance policies to cover several risks to which it is exposed, including asset insurance against losses caused by fire, lightning, explosion of any kind, gale, aircraft crash, and electric damage, and other risks, covering the bases and other branches of all subsidiaries, except RPR, which maintains its own insurance. The maximum compensation value, including loss of profits, based on the risk analysis of maximum loss possible at a certain site is US$ 1,050 million.

The General Responsibility Insurance program covers the Company and its subsidiaries with a maximum aggregate coverage of US$ 400 million against losses caused to third parties as a result of accidents related to commercial and industrial operations and/or distribution and sales of products and services.

Group Life and Personal Accident, Health, National and International Transportation and All Risks insurance policies are also maintained.

The coverages and limits of the insurance policies maintained are based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by local insurance advisors, and the type of insurance is considered by management to be sufficient to cover potential losses based on the nature of the business conducted by the companies. The risk assumptions adopted, given their nature, are not part of the scope of a review on interim financial information, and consequently haven’t been reviewed by our independent accountants.
 
d.           Operating lease contracts

The subsidiaries IPP and Serma have operating lease contracts for the use of IT equipment.

These contracts have terms of 36 months. The subsidiaries have the option to purchase the assets at a price equal to the fair market price on the date of option, and management does not intend to exercise such option.

The future disbursements (installments), assumed under these contracts, total approximately:

Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)

a.           ULTRAPREV- Associação de Previdência Complementar

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a defined-contribution pension plan to its employees, which is managed by Ultraprev - Associação de Previdência Complementar. Under the plan, the basic contribution of each participating employee is calculated by multiplying a percentage ranging from 0% to 11%, which is annually defined by the participant based on his/her salary. The sponsor companies match the amount of the basic contribution paid by the participant. As the participants retire, they choose to receive monthly either: (i) a percentage, ranging from 0.5% to 1.0%, of the fund accumulated for the participant with Ultraprev; or (ii) a fixed monthly amount that will exhaust the fund accumulated for the participant within a period ranging from 5 to 25 years. Thus, the Company and its subsidiaries do not assume responsibility for guaranteeing amounts and periods of pension benefits. As of September 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 9,633 (R$ 8,161 as of September 30, 2009) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement for the year. The total number of employees participating in the plan as of September 30, 2010 was 7,253 active participants and 48 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 30 former employees receiving benefits under the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b.           Post-employment benefits

Ipiranga and RPR recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Severance Pay Fund, and health and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The net liabilities for such benefits recorded as of September 30, 2010 are R$ 102,040 (R$ 102,040 as of June 30, 2010), of which R$ 11,955 (R$ 11,955 as of June 30, 2010) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 90,085 (R$ 90,085 as of June 30, 2010) as long-term liabilities.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and are recorded in the interim financial statements in accordance with Resolution CVM 371/2000.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

Ultrapar’s financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2009 were prepared in accordance with the accounting directives set out in the Brazilian Corporate Law, being adopted the alterations introduced by Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09 (former Provisional Measure 449/08), as well as the CVM standards, instructions and guidelines, which regulate them. In connection with the process of converging the accounting practices adopted in Brazil to the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), several guidelines, interpretations, and orientations were issued during 2009 and 2010 establishing a new accounting standard in Brazil (“New BR GAAP”). Ultrapar decided to adopt the New BR GAAP in its interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 and information for 2009 contained therein. The interim financial statements for June 30th, 2010 and March 31st, 2010, as well as the information for 2009, were restated and presented in accordance with the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.

For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the new legislation, we released financial spreadsheets on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) as well as on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br) demonstrating the impacts of the accounting changes introduced by the New BR GAAP on the main line items of the quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010, year ended December 31st, 2009, and nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP is available in notes 2 and 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.

The financial information of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno, and Ultracargo is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar. In addition, except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of R$ and, therefore, are subject to rounding off. Consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.

Effect of the acquisition of Texaco
In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The results of Texaco were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements from April 1st, 2009, after the closing of the transaction on March 31st, 2009. Ultrapar’s financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.

Effect of the divestment – Ultracargo’s road transportation, in-house logistics and solid bulk storage
On July 1st, 2010, Ultrapar concluded the sale of Ultracargo’s in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses, with the transfer of the shares of AGT – Armazéns Gerais e Transporte Ltda. and Petrolog Serviços e Armazéns Gerais Ltda. to Aqces Logística Internacional Ltda. and the receipt of R$ 74 million, in addition to the R$ 8 million deposit received upon the announcement of the transaction on March 31st, 2010. Consequently, the financial statements of Ultrapar and Ultracargo from 3Q10 onwards include only the results of the liquid bulk storage business.

Effect of the acquisition of DNP
On October 26th, 2010, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”). The total value of the acquisition is R$ 85 million, subject to working capital and indebtedness adjustments on the closing date. Ultrapar and Ipiranga’s financial statements will start to consolidate the results of the acquired business from the closing of the acquisition, occurred on November 1st, 2010.

 
 

 
 
(2) Performance Analysis:

Net Sales and Services: Ultrapar’s consolidated net sales and services amounted to R$ 10,911 million in 3Q10, up 13% over 3Q09, as a consequence of the growth in sales in Ipiranga, Ultragaz, and Oxiteno. Compared with 2Q10, Ultrapar’s net sales and services increased by 5%. In 9M10, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 31,227 million, up 22% over 9M09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s net sales and services from 2Q09 onwards.

Ultragaz: In 3Q10, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 427 thousand tons, up 1% over 3Q09. In the bottled segment, Ultragaz sales volume decreased by 0.8% as compared with 3Q09. In the bulk segment, sales volume grew 4% due to the higher level of economic activity and a recovery in the industrial activity. Compared with 2Q10, sales volume increased by 5% as a result of seasonality between periods. In 9M10, Ultragaz’s sales volume totals 1,205 thousand tons, up 1% over 9M09. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 975 million in 3Q10, up 5% over 3Q09, as a result of higher sales volume in the bulk segment, an increase in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 onwards and commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented. Compared with 2Q10, net sales and services increased by 6%, in line with the sales volume progression. In 9M10, Ultragaz’s net sales and services totaled R$ 2,739 million, up 7% over 9M09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 5,244 thousand cubic meters in 3Q10, up 10% over that of 3Q09. The sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 6%, mainly as a consequence of the increase in the light vehicle fleet during the last 12 months. The diesel volume grew 14% due to the higher level of economic activity in 3Q10. Compared with 2Q10, sales volume increased by 5% as a result of seasonality between quarters. In 9M10, Ipiranga accumulates sales volume of 14,825 thousand cubic meters, up 22% over Ipiranga’s volume in 9M09, mainly  on the back of the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from 2Q09 onwards. Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted R$ 9,320 million in 3Q10, up 14% over net sales and services for 3Q09, as a consequence of the increase in sales volume by 10% and the increase in ethanol costs. Compared with 2Q10, Ipiranga’s net sales and services grew by 5%, in line with the sales volume progression. In 9M10, Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted R$ 26,729 million, up 24% over 9M09, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s net sales and services from 2Q09 onwards.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 175 thousand tons, up 3% (6 thousand tons) over 3Q09, highlighting the 11% increase in sales volume of specialty chemicals sold in the Brazilian market, on the back of higher level of economic activity compared with 3Q09, and enabled by the expansions in the production capacity. The total volume sold in Brazil rose by 8% (9 thousand tons), notably in specialty chemicals sold to the agrochemicals, cosmetics and detergents industries. Sales volume outside Brazil was down by 7% (4 thousand tons), due to higher spot sales of glycols and specialty chemicals in 3Q09. Compared with 2Q10, sales volume remained stable. Oxiteno’s sales volume in 9M10 totals 514 thousand tons, up 14% over 9M09. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totaled R$ 538 million in 3Q10, up 12% over 3Q09, despite the 6% stronger Real, as a consequence of the recovery in average dollar prices and a 3% growth in sales volume.

Ultracargo: In 3Q10, Ultracargo reported a 21% increase in average storage over 3Q09, mainly due to the consolidation of the terminal acquired in Suape in December 2009 and the higher volume of operations in the Santos and Aratu terminals, partially offset by a reduction in ethanol handling. Compared with 2Q10, Ultracargo’s average effective storage was 5% higher. In 9M10, Ultracargo accumulates a 19% increase in the average effective storage of its terminals. Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 65 million in 3Q10, down 25% from 3Q09 and 2Q10, respectively, with the growth in average storage in liquid bulk terminals offset by the sale of in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses.

In 9M10, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 25,330 million, up 24% over 9M09, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco’s cost of goods sold from 2Q09 onwards.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold in 3Q10 amounted to R$ 420 million, up 7% over 3Q09, as a result of the 3% increase in sales volume and extraordinary costs resulting from the scheduled maintenance stoppage of the Camaçari plant, with the higher unit variable cost in dollar offset by the 6% stronger Real. Compared with 2Q10, the cost of goods sold decreased by 2%, as a consequence of 2% stronger Real. In 9M10, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 1,243 million, up 7% over 9M09.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 296 million in 3Q10, down 1% from 3Q09, due to the higher level of non-recurring expenses related to the conversion of Texaco service stations into the Ipiranga brand and the integration of acquired operations in 3Q09, which were partially offset by higher sales volume, effects of inflation on expenses, and expenses related to studies and projects. Compared with 2Q10, sales, general and administrative expenses grew by 4%, as a result of the same items above.

The purpose of including EBITDA information is to provide a measure for assessing our ability to generate cash from our operations. The EBITDA presented above was calculated based on the income before financial result, including depreciation and amortization and excluding income on disposal of assets. In managing our business we rely on EBITDA as a means for assessing our operating performance and a portion of our employee profit sharing plan is linked to EBITDA performance. Because EBITDA excludes income on disposal of assets, net financial income (expense), income tax, depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, or levels of income on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, we believe that this type of measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period and making certain related management decisions. We also calculate EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financing. We believe that EBITDA enhances the understanding of our financial performance and our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under Brazilian GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and income taxes, depreciation or capital expenditures and associated charges.

We hereby inform that, in accordance with the requirements of CVM Resolution 381/03, our independent auditors KPMG Auditores Independentes have not performed during these first nine months of 2010 any service other than the external audit of the financial statements of Ultrapar and affiliated companies and subsidiaries.

MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

In connection with the process of converging the accounting practices adopted in Brazil to the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), in which several guidelines, interpretations, and orientations were issued during 2009 and 2010 establishing a new accounting standard in Brazil (“New BR GAAP”). Ultrapar Participaçöes S.A. ("Ultrapar") decided to adopt the New BR GAAP in its interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 and information for 2009 contained therein. The interim financial statements for June 30th, 2010 and March 31st, 2010, as well as the information for 2009, were restated and presented in accordance with the New BR GAAP, as described in Note 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010, available on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br).

For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the new legislation, we released financial spreadsheets on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) as well as on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br) demonstrating the impacts of the accounting changes introduced by the New BR GAAP on the main line items of the quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010, year ended December 31st, 2009, and nine-month period ended September 30th, 2010 in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes (Attachment 1). Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the New BR GAAP is available in notes 2 and 3 of the interim financial statements for September 30th, 2010.
