4.	APPRAISAL OF THE IPIRANGA GROUP

4.1.	METHODOLOGY USED

ASSETS APPROACH – NET EQUITY AT MARKET PRICE

This methodology derives from generally accepted accounting principles (PCGA), where financial statements are prepared based on the principle of historic cost or acquisition cost. Due to this principle and to the fundamental principle of accounting, the book value of the assets of a company less the book value of its liabilities equals the book value of its net equity.

On the other hand, the basic principles of economics allow us to create the following appraisal technique: the value defined for assets less the value defined for liabilities equals the value defined for a company’s net equity. From an appraisal perspective, the relevant value definitions are those appropriate to the purpose of the appraisal.

The assessment of assets, therefore, aims at appraising a company according to the adjustment of the book value (net balance) to its respective fair market value. The assets and liabilities deemed relevant are appraised for their fair market value, with a comparison being made between this amount and the book value (net balance).

Next, we will present a description of the Net Assets acquired by ULTRAPAR, subject to this appraisal report.

REFINARIA DE PETRÓLEO IPIRANGA (RPI) (IPIRANGA PETROLEUM REFINERY)

The Ipiranga Petroleum Refinery is quite old. It was inaugurated in 1937 in the city of Rio Grande (State of Rio Grande do Sul), marking the beginning of the petroleum industrialization process in the country and originating the Ipiranga Petroleum Companies. Currently, its industrial plant occupies an area of 40 hectares, with capacity to produce 17 thousand barrels/day of petroleum.

In 1988, the Turbo-Generator operation was consolidated. The Turbo-Generator was intended to promote the self-generation of electric energy, contributing to improvement of the environment surrounding the Company, by reducing the emission of gases into the atmosphere. Also in the same year, the new Products Receipt and Delivery terminal entered into operation. It was built to speed up the entry and exit operation of products from the Refinery.

In 1998, the Ipiranga Refinery was authorized to produce a capacity of 12,580 barrels per day by Article 55 of the new Legislation for the activity, according to the characteristics and capacities of its respective facilities.

From 1999 onwards, considering the possibility of importing petroleum, the Ipiranga Refinery started to acquire raw material for its process, using supply alternatives also through the foreign market. By 2002, the modifications in the main process units of Ipiranga Refinery were concluded, contemplating the 1st stage of expansion and modernization of the industrial park.

APSIS CONSULTORIA

REPORT RJ-0285/08-01A

The level of conversion was expanded and the metallurgy of main equipment improved. The nominal petroleum processing capacity was expanded in more than 35 %, reaching 17,000 barrels per day.

In 2003, the construction of a petroleum tank with storage capacity of 30,000 m³ was started. The tank was concluded in 2004. Still in 2003, the Ipiranga Refinery started to invest in the quality improvement project of special solvents.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REFINING PROCESS

The figure below presents a summarized scheme of the production process, which may be better visualized in the specific appraisal report RJ-0117/07-01:

After the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group, the operating assets of RPI started being jointly managed by the three purchasing companies.

EMPRESA CARIOCA DE PRODUTOS QUÍMICOS – EMCA (Chemical Products Company from Rio de Janeiro)

EMCA is headquartered in Camaçari Petrochemical Pole – State of Bahia. It is the main producer of white mineral oils and special fluids from Latin America, and it also produces special fluids and solid vaseline. Using leading technology in the refinery of fractions of petroleum through the process of catalytic hydrogenation, it places at the disposal of its clients, products of a high degree of purity and high performance for application in the most diverse industrial segments, such as: Pharmaceutical, Food, Cosmetic, Plastic, Textile, Agricultural Defensives, Veterinary Products, Rubber and Special Lubricants industries.

The EMCA products are processed by Catalytic Hydrogenation in 2 stages, at 200 to 360°C temperatures, 225 kg/cm2 pressure and hydrogen purity greater than 95% and finally finished by distillation and drying. The production processes may be visualized in the specific report RJ-0117/07-09.

After the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group, the operating assets of EMCA started being property of ULTRAPAR.

CBPI and DPPI (Ipiranga Brazilian Petroleum Company and Ipiranga Petroleum Product Distributor)

DISTRIBUTION OF FUELS

After the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group in 2007, where it acted as commissionaire, Ultrapar, the largest LPG distributor in Brazil, became the second largest distributor of fuels in the country and owner of the Ipiranga brand, holding 14% of the market through its subsidiaries CBPI and DPPI. Fuel distribution is a natural extension of LPG distribution, as it has similar profitability determinants: logistic efficiency, reseller network management and an important, well-known brand.

In 2007, 64% of the fuels sold by Ipiranga were distributed by gas stations, with the remaining quota being directly sold to major clients and retailer reseller transporters (TRR). The average volume sold per Ipiranga station in 2007 was 180m³ per month, while the average volume sold by the market was 146m³ per month, per station.

The south and southeast regions in which Ipiranga operates represent 67% of the total fuel consumption in 2007 in Brazil, and include the more densely populated states of Brazil, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais.

The growth of the fuels sector is directly influenced by the growth rates of the Gross Domestic Product (PIB) and by the size of the vehicle fleet. Vehicle sales in Brazil have grown at a fast pace based on the greater availability of income and credit in Brazil. In 2007, approximately 2.5 million new vehicles were licensed, according to ANFAVEA (National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), a 28% increase in relation to 2006, with the increase among bi-fuel vehicles being 40%. In 2007, there was a 6% increase in the volume sold by CBPI and DPPI in comparison to 2006, where:

(i) The combined volume of gasoline, ethanol and vehicular natural gas (GNV) had a 12% increase (460 thousand m3), based on the growth of the fleet of vehicles and improvement in

APSIS CONSULTORIA

REPORT RJ-0285/08-01A

legislation implemented in the distribution sector, with a highlight on the 79% increase in ethanol sales based on the expansion of the number of bi-fuel vehicles, and;

(ii) The volume of diesel presented a 3% growth in the period (193 thousand m³) based on the highest level of economic activity.

In 2007 there were 3.292 service stations operating under the Ipiranga brand, of which 509 were their own or were operating under a long-term lease contract, and 2,783 belonged to third parties. From the total number of stations, 86% were located in densely populated urban areas, and the remaining 14% on highways.

Distribution to major consumers represented 28% of CBPI and DPPI sales in 2007, with direct sales to approximately 2,800 customers, including state and municipal governments and owners of transportation fleets.

CBPI and DPPI also sell diesel, lubricants, fuel oil and kerosene to approximately 200 independent TRRs (retailer reseller transporters), which re-distribute petroleum derivatives to small and medium-size companies throughout Brazil. Most retailer reseller transporter customers of CBPI and DPPI consist of companies that have large fixed tanks in its facilities. These customers represent 8% of CBPI and DPPI sales volume in 2007.

AMPM CONVENIENCE STORES

AM/PM COMESTÍVEIS LTDA (AMPM) and ISA-SUL ADMINISTRAÇÃO E PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA (ISASUL), subsidiaries of CBPI and DPPI respectively, have as their operational activity the management of AMPM convenience store franchises and of JET OIL automotive units within service stations under the Ipiranga brand.

After the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group, the operating assets related to the distribution activity of CBPI and AMPM became property of ULTRAPAR and PETROBRAS, in the following divisions:

CBPI e AMPM - NORTE (PETROBRAS) – operating assets located in the states of Bahia, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Rondônia and Tocantins.

CBPI e AMPM – SUL (ULTRAPAR) – operating assets located in the states of Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São Paulo.

After the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group, the operating assets of DPPI started being property of ULTRAPAR.

The description and location of the relevant operating assets of CBPI and DPPI can be visualized in the specific reports RJ-0117/07-03 (CBPI – SUL), RJ-0117/07-04 (DPPI) and RJ-0117/07-05 (AMPM).
