Independent accountant’s review report

 
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 June 30, 2009, comprising the balance sheet, the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows, 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 to the Quarterly Financial Information described above, for these to be in accordance with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), which are applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information.

4.  
As mentioned in Explanatory Note 2, due to the changes in the accounting practices adopted in Brazil during 2008, the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows, for the period ended June 30, 2008, presented for comparison purposes, were adjusted and restated, as required by NPC 12 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Correction of Errors, approved by CVM Resolution 506/06.

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 logistics services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”). The Company also operates in the petroleum refining business through its investment in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A.  (“Refining”).

2      Initial implementation of Law 11638/07 and summary of significant accounting policy changes

Law 11638/07 was enacted on December 28, 2007 and Provisional Measure 449/08 was issued on December 3, 2008, which was enacted as Law 11941/09 on May 27, 2009, both amending and repealing existing provisions and adding new provisions to Law 6404/76 (Brazilian Corporate Law) to adapt the accounting policies adopted in Brazil to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In order to regulate these changes, the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) issued a set of Resolutions during 2008, whose main effects on the interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are summarized below.

Resolution CVM 565 of December 17, 2008 – deals with the initial implementation of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Measure (MP) 449/08, which was enacted as Law 11941/09 on May 27, 2009.
As permitted by this Resolution, the Company decided to adopt January 1, 2008 as the date of transition. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries started to use the equity method of accounting for the company Metalúrgica Plus S/A. and consolidate the company SERMA – Associação dos Usuários de Equipamentos de Processamento de Dados e Serviços Correlatos in their interim financial statements (see Notes 4 and 12). The information presented herein for the quarter and semester ended June 30, 2008, differs from the one previously disclosed because the Company retroactively applied to them the new accounting standards issued during the year, as established by CVM. In the following table the effects on consolidated net income as of June 30, 2008 related to the adoption of Laws 11638/07 and 11941/09 are shown.

Resolution CVM 534 of January 29, 2008 – deals with effects of the changes in exchange rates and of the translation of financial statements.
The Company and its subsidiaries analyzed their investments in foreign entities and combined with the investor, those investees lacking autonomy and independent management, in accordance with item 41(a) of the Resolution. Foreign subsidiaries with autonomy were booked as provided for in item 41(b) of the Resolution, and the changes in exchange rates of the net investment in these subsidiaries were recorded as Cumulative translation adjustments in the investor’s shareholders’ equity. See Note 3.n).

Resolution CVM 547 of August 13, 2008 – deals with the Statement of Cash Flows.
The Company and its subsidiaries classified as cash equivalents, the short-term investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value. The statement of cash flows shows the activity in the accounts: (i) Cash and banks and (ii) Financial investments considered as cash equivalents in the fiscal year. See Notes 3.b) and 5.

Resolution CVM 566 of December 17, 2008 – deals with recognition, measurement, and evidence of financial instruments.
The financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries were classified, according to their characteristics and the Company’s intention, into: (i) measured at fair value through income; (ii) held to maturity; (iii) available for sale; and (iv) loans and receivables. See Notes 3.c), 5 and 21.

Resolution CVM 553 of November 12, 2008 – deals with intangible assets.
The Company and its subsidiaries reclassified to intangible assets the goodwill on the acquisitions of companies, which were previously shown as deferred charges in the interim financial statements. See Notes 3.h), 3.i) and 14.

Resolution CVM 554 of November 12, 2008 – deals with financial leases.
Certain financial lease contracts where substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset are transferred to the Company and its subsidiaries were recorded in the financial statements as finance leases, net of tax effects. The items recognized as assets were depreciated at the depreciation rates applicable to each of the group of assets into which they were classified, and the financial charges under the leases were allocated over the contract terms, based on the amortized cost method. See Notes 3.g) 16.e) and 22.d).

Resolution CVM 556 of November 12, 2008 – deals with transaction costs and premiums on issuance of bonds and securities.
Transaction costs and issue premiums associated with funding transactions by the Company and its subsidiaries were reclassified and added to the values of the respective funds raised, and the effective interest rate of each issuance was calculated. See Note 16.a).

Resolution CVM 564 of December 17, 2008 – deals with adjustment to present value of assets and liabilities.
The Company’s subsidiaries recorded the adjustment to present value of ICMS credit balances on acquisition of fixed assets (CIAP). The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all other items of long-term and, where relevant, short-term assets and liabilities and did not identify the need to adjust these transactions to present value. See Notes 3.q) and 8.

3      Presentation of interim financial statements and significant accounting policies

The individual and consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in conformity with the accounting pratices adopted in Brazil, which include the Brazilian Corporate Law, the Standards, Guidelines and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Standards Committee and the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).

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.

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 566/08, 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 payments, receipts or determinable payments 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.

Certain derivative financial instruments used to hedge against changes in interest rates were designated as cash flow hedge for purposes of measuring their fair value. The difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its value plus interest earned is recognized as a Valuation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement of the Company and its subsidiaries. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of prepayment.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 5, 16, and 21.

d.           Current and non-current assets

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.q).

e.           Investments

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

Investments in companies on 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 valued by 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, and also include investments in progress.

f.           Fixed assets

Recorded at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on fixed assets under construction, as well as significant maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages. The Company will maintain the revaluation balances, which were incorporated in the value of the respective assets, until their realization, without, however, accounting for new revaluations.

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method, at the annual rates stated in Note 13, over the useful/economic life of the property.

Leasehold improvements in service stations 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 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.e).

           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 22.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 less accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized.

• Other intangible assets acquired from third parties 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). The Company and its subsidiaries decided to maintain the balances until they are fully amortized.

j.           Current and non-current 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 financial statements and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 3.q).

k.           Income tax and social contribution 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.           Provision for contingencies

The provision for contingencies is created for contingent risks with a “probable” chance of loss 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 22.a).

m.           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 23.b).

n.           Basis for translating  financial statements of foreign-based subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries Oxiteno Mexico 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: Bolivar), 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 financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as Cumulative translation adjustments and are recognized as income when these investments are disposed of. The amount recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of June 30, 2009 was R$ 578.

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 on the date of the financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as income. The loss recognized as of June 30, 2009 amounted to R$ 6,993 (R$ 8,727 loss as of June 30, 2008).

o.           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 fiscal years 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.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
p.           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 interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009.

q.           Adjustment to present value

The subsidiaries recorded the adjustment to present value of ICMS credit balances on fixed assets (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.

(*)
Proportional consolidation, as established in Article 32 of CVM Instruction 247/96 (control shared equally among Petrobras, Ultrapar and Braskem, since April 2007).

(**)         In August 2008, the Company, through the subsidiary Sociedade Brasileira de Participações Ltda. (“SBP”), entered into a purchase agreement with Chevron Latin America Marketing LLC and Chevron Amazonas LLC (collectively, “Chevron”) for the purchase of 100% of the shares issued by Chevron Brasil Ltda. (“CBL”) and by Sociedade Anônima de Óleo Galena Signal (“Galena”), subsidiaries of Chevron that held Texaco fuel distribution business in Brazil (“Texaco”). On March 31, 2009, the acquisition was closed and SBP disbursed the amount of R$ 1,106 million, in addition to the US$ 38 million advanced payment made to Chevron in August 2008. The terms of acquisition do not include the assumption of Texaco’s net debt. As from April 1st, 2009, the operations of Texaco were consolidated in the Company´s financial statements. Adjustments to working capital are being calculated and will be settled with Chevron thereafter. Until this moment, goodwill breaks down into R$ 213,835 based on future profitability, and R$ 344,418, based on the difference between the market value and the carrying value of the assets. On May 16, 2009, the subsidiary CBL had its name changed to Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”).

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 significant transactions conducted between the companies. The interest of minority shareholders in the subsidiaries is indicated in the financial statements.

(a) Represents US$ 60 million in linked notes (“Linked Notes”) to notes issued by the subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. in the foreign market in 1997 (“Original Notes”). In April 2006, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas Corp., the then owner of the Original Notes, sold such notes to a foreign financial institution. Simultaneously, the subsidiary purchased the Linked Notes from that financial institution. Such transaction enables a financial gain to the subsidiary corresponding to the difference between the interest rate paid on Linked Notes and Original Notes, as remarked in Note 16.c). This financial instrument was classified as loans and receivables for measurement purposes (see Note 3.c).

(b) Accumulated gains, net of income tax (see Note 21).

Relates to the non-eliminated portion of the transactions between RPR and CBPI, since RPR is proportionally consolidated and CBPI 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.f). The transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries related to post-employment benefits are described in Note 23.

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, 2009, including tax charges, was R$ 22,407 (R$ 22,407 as of March 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 June 30, 2009 in the amount of R$ 1,018 (R$ 814 on June 30, 2008) 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 BM&FBovespa.

(*)
Tax exemption of the Suape base expired in December 2007, and a request was filed with the Agency for the Development of the Northeast (ADENE), responsible for managing this incentive plan, asking for 75% tax relief until 2017. If this 75% relief is not granted, the subsidiary will file another request with ADENE for 12.5% relief until 2013, to which it is entitled because it is located in an incentive area and is considered a priority economic activity for the development of the region. As a result, the subsidiary has not recorded the tax benefit for this unit.

(**)
Due to the upgrade of the Aracaju base, the Agency for the Development of the Northeast (ADENE) approved an increase in the income tax relief from 25% to 75% until 2017, through a report issued on December 19, 2008. In May 2009, the period of 120 days that Federal Revenue Service had to express itself about the tax benefit report expired, fact that allowed the subsidiary to record the tax benefit in the accumulated amount of R$ 850.

 c.          Notes in the foreign market

In June 1997, the subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. issued US$ 60 million in notes in the foreign market (Original Notes), with maturity in 2005, and in June 2005 obtained the extension of the maturity of these notes for June 2020, with put/call option in June 2008, which was not exercised by the subsidiary and financial institutions. The next put/call option will be on June 2011.

In June 2005, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas Corp. acquired all the Original Notes issued by Companhia Ultragaz S.A. with funds from a syndicated loan in the amount of US$ 60 million with maturity in June 2008 and financial charge of 5.05% p.a. In June 2008, the syndicated loan was renewed under the same conditions, but the financial charges have been changed to LIBOR + 1.25% p.a. The syndicated loan is secured by the Company and Oxiteno S.A. Indústria e Comércio.

As a result of the issuance of the syndicated loan, some obligations other than those in Note 16.b) must be maintained by the Company:

Maintenance of a financial index, determined by the ratio between net debt and consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), at less than or equal to 3.5.

Maintenance of a financial index, determined by the ratio between consolidated EBITDA and consolidated net financial expenses, higher than or equal to 1.5.

The restrictions imposed on the Company and its subsidiaries are usual in transactions of this kind and have not limited their ability to conduct their business to date.

In April 2006, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas Corp. sold the Original Notes issued by Companhia Ultragaz S.A. to a financial institution. Simultaneously, the subsidiary acquired from that financial institution notes linked to the Original Notes (the Linked Notes), as described in Note 5, thus obtaining an additional return on this investment. The transaction matures in 2020, and both the subsidiary and the financial institution may prepay it. In case of insolvency of the financial institution, Companhia Ultragaz S.A. would have to settle the Original Notes, but Oxiteno Overeseas Corp. would continue to be the creditor of the Linked Notes.

21    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, 2009 and March 31, 2009:

Based on the net liability position of R$ 172.2 million in foreign currency shown above, we estimate that a 10% devaluation (valuation) of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 17.2 million, of which R$ 22.5 million of financial expense (revenue) and R$ 5.3 million of gain (loss) directly recognized in the shareholders’ cummulative translation adjustments (see Note 3.n).

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 Interbank Certificate of Deposit (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, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have derivative financial instruments for interest rate risk management linked to domestic loans.

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. Oxiteno S.A. Indústria e Comércio and its subsidiaries maintained, as of June 30, 2009, R$ 2,752 (R$ 2,407 as of March 31, 2009), the subsidiaries Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. and Companhia Ultragaz S.A. maintained, R$ 11,473 (R$ 9,339 as of March 31, 2009), Ipiranga/Refining maintained, R$ 94,867 (R$ 48,266 as of March 31, 2009), and the subsidiaries of Ultracargo Operações Logísticas e Participações Ltda. maintained, R$ 1,754 (R$ 1,593 as of March 31, 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 and, 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.

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 financial statements, which correspond to their fair value.
Financial investments in CDBs 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, 2009 and March 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 dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBovespa as of June 30, 2009. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.84 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, 2009, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of June 30, 2009 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, the Company used the future LIBOR curve (BBA – British Bankers Association) as of June 30, 2009 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, 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, 2009. The result is stated on the table below:

22    Contingencies and commitments (Consolidated)

a.           Civil, tax and labor proceedings

In 1990, the Union of Workers in Petrochemical Plants, of which the employees of the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio and Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. 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 the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in the collective bargaining and the position of the individual action of the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio, Management of the subsidiaries did not deem it necessary to record a provision as of June 30, 2009.

Subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. is facing an administrative case pending before the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) for alleged anticompetitive practice in cities in the Triângulo Mineiro region in 2001. Recently, the CADE entered a decision against Companhia Ultragaz S.A. imposing a penalty of 1% of the annual gross revenue for 2001 (which was R$ 1,475 million), excluding taxes and adjusted by SELIC. This administrative decision may have its execution suspended and the merits reconsidered in court. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiary’s Management did not record a provision.

Subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. 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 62 actions decided to date, 61 were favorable, of which 27 are already shelved; only 1 was adverse in the second instance, which can still be appealed, and if such decision is upheld, the value is R$ 17. There are 3 actions yet to be decided. The subsidiary has insurance coverage for these legal proceedings, and the value not insured is R$ 16,524. 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 obtained 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$ 33,578, net of attorney’s fees.

Based on the favorable jurisprudence and the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio and Oxiteno S.A. Indústria e Comércio filed, on September 16 and October 1st, 2008, respectively, lawsuits to obtain preliminary injunctions to exclude export revenues from the tax base for Social Contribution on Profit. The injunction was granted to Oxiteno Nordeste, and the subsidiary is making judicial deposits of the amounts due, in the amount of R$ 866 as of June 30, 2009; the subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. awaits judgment of appeal against the decision which denied the requested injunction.

Subsidiary Utingás Armazenadora S.A. is defending itself against notices of assessment of Service Tax (ISS) issued by the Municipal Government of Santo André. The position of the subsidiary’s legal counsel is that the risk is low since a significant portion of the administrative decisions was favorable to the subsidiary. The thesis defended by the subsidiary is supported by the opinion of a renowned tax specialist. The unprovided for contingency, adjusted as of June 30, 2009, is R$ 48,576 (R$ 47,457 as of March 31, 2009).

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Companhia Ultragraz S.A. and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. filed for and obtained an 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 injunction obtained, the subsidiaries have been making judicial deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 125,639 as of June 30, 2009 (R$ 123,037 as of March 31, 2009) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

Subsidiaries Companhia Ultragaz S.A., Utingás Armazenadora S.A., Terminal Químico de Aratu S.A. - Tequimar, Transultra - Armazenamento e Transporte Especializado Ltda. and Ultracargo Operações Logísticas e Participações Ltda. have filed actions with a motion for 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) and maintain a provision of R$ 15,064 (R$ 14,853 as of March 31, 2009) to cover any contingencies if they lose such actions.

On December 29, 2006, the subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A. Indústria e Comércio, Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio, Companhia Ultragaz S.A. and Transultra Armazenamento e Transporte Especializado Ltda. filed for an injuction seeking the deduction of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax basis. Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio obtained an injuction and is paying the disputed amounts into judicial deposits, as well as recording the respective provision in the amount of R$ 30,285 (R$ 27,365 as of March 31, 2009). The other subsidiaries did not obtain an injunction and are awaiting the outcome of an appeal lodged with Tribunal Regional Federal (TRF) for the 3rd Region. On August 19, 2008, the subsidiaries Companhia Brasileira de Petróleo Ipiranga, Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A., Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda. and Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. also filed for injuctions seeking the same benefit, and are awaiting the judgment of these lawsuits.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries have filed actions with a motion for 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 (SFT) and based on the opinion of its legal counsel, a provision was recorded for this contingency in the amount of R$ 6,940 (R$ 6,882 as of March 31, 2009).

In 2007, based on recent jurisprudence, the position of its legal counsel, and the increase in the amounts involved in transactions, the Company and its subsidiaries began to record a provision for PIS and COFINS on credits of interest on capital. The total amount accrued as of June 30, 2009 is R$ 22,785 (R$ 22,420 as of March 31, 2009).

Regarding Ipiranga/Refining, the main contingencies provided for, relate to: (i) 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$ 7,387; (b) requirement for the reversal of ICMS credits, in the State of Minas Gerais, on interstate outflows carried under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed maintenance of credits and was suspended by an injunction issued by the STF, R$ 28,853; (c) assessments for deduction of unconditional discounts from the tax base for ICMS due to tax substitution, in the State of Minas Gerais, R$ 16,562; (d) litigation on clauses of contracts with customers; and (e) claims made by former employees and subcontractors on salary allowances.

The main tax contingences of Ipiranga/Refining that were considered to pose a possible risk of loss relate to ICMS and total R$ 154,444, and based on this position, have not been provided for in the financial statements, consisting primarily of: (a) requirement for the reversal of credits resulting from excess taxation on acquisition of products in the petroleum refinery under the tax substitution regime; (b) requirement for the ICMS on acquisition of basic oils; (c) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro requiring reversal of ICMS credits on interstate outflows made under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed maintenance of credits and was suspended by an injunction issued by the STF; (d) requirement for the reversal of presumed credit on interstate transfers of hydrated fuel ethanol in the State of Santa Catarina; (e) notices of assessment issued in Minas Gerais for alleged miscalculation of the tax base for ICMS, since the amount of the tax itself on interstate transactions with petroleum byproducts to end consumer was not included in such tax base; and (f) notice of assessment regarding transactions for return of anhydrous ethanol loan.

In addition, the subsidiary CBPI and its subsidiaries have tax assessments concerning non-homologation of IPI credits originated in acquisitions of products whose subsequent sales had no taxation. The amount of the unprovided for contingency, adjusted as of June 30, 2009, is R$ 44,569 (R$ 42,266 as of March 31, 2009).

The main contingencies accrued for Texaco refer to: (a) requirement of ICMS-ST on interstate sales from distributors to final consumers, R$ 17,687; (b) requirement for reversal of ICMS credits in interstate exits, made under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of the credits and was suspended by injunction granted by the STF, R$ 9,845; (c) delinquency notice on interstate sales of fuel for industrial customer without  ICMS, following the interpretation of Article 2 of LC 87/96, R$ 40,675; (d) possibility of litigation over claims of difference between the value of ICMS-ST paid and charges on the actual price of sale in transactions made directly to final consumers, R$ 48,554; (e) delinquency notice resulting from lack of ICMS collection in the States due to errors or lack of delivery of reports in interstate operations, that enabled the transfer of ICMS to the state of fuel consumption, R$ 11,757; (f) lack of obligation to collect charges on education allowance before the advent of Law No. 9424/96, in the period from May/1989 to January/1997, R$ 11,177; and (g) litigation on clauses of contracts with customers and environmental issues, R$ 28,477.

Texaco has lawsuits seeking the exemption of ICMS generated by contributions of PIS/COFINS. There is also a lawsuit requesting exemption of social contribution tax based on income tax, which is currently recorded as contingent liability and an escrow deposit is held, in the amount of R$ 23,754.

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, 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 financial statements due to their contingent nature.

b.           Contracts

Subsidiary Terminal Químico de Aratu S.A. – 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 of 1,000,000 tons per year in Aratu by 2022 and 250,000 tons per year in Suape effective through 2027. 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, 2009, such charges were R$ 4.93 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 S.A. Indústria e Comércio 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.

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 Refining, 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$ 852 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.

d.           Operating lease contracts

The subsidiaries Tropical, SBP and Serma have operating lease contracts for the use of fuel transportation equipment (trucks) and computer equipment.

23    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 their 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, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 5,107 (R$ 1,845 as of June 30, 2008) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement for the period. The total number of employees participating in the plan as of June 30, 2009 was 7,314 active participants and 29 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/Refining, and as from April 1st, 2009 IPP, recognized a provision for post-employment benefits related to seniority bonus, payment of Severance Pay Fund, and health and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

Net liabilities for such benefits recorded as of June 30, 2009 are R$ 102,785 (R$ 86,359 as of March 31, 2009), of which R$ 10,798 (R$ 8,768 as of March 31, 2009) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 91,987 (R$ 77,591 as of March 31, 2009) as long-term liabilities.

Considerations on the financial and operational information


Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information
Ultrapar's financial statements for the quarter ending June 30th, 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 order to provide comparability of financial statements, the figures presented in this document for the first half and second quarter of 2008 consider such changes and, therefore, are different from the figures previously reported in the respective results release. In order to provide a better understanding of the effects of the new legislation, it is presented on pages 16 and 17 in the earnings release a statement with the impacts derived from the changes introduced by Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09 in the main accounts of the financial statements in the first half and second quarter of 2008, compared with the figures previously reported. Additional information regarding effects of the new legislation are available on the accompanying notes 2 and 3 of the audited financial statements for the year ended on December 31st, 2008 and financial statements for the quarters ended on March 31st, 2009 and June 30th, 2009, available at Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br).

Separately, in 1Q09 Ultragaz reclassified the volumes sold between the bottle and bulk segments to reflect the current structure and management responsibility between geographies and segments. This reclassification between segments corresponds to approximately 1% of Ultragaz’s total volume and net sales in 2008. In order to provide comparability, Ultragaz’s information on volume and net sales for the bottled and bulk segments presented in this document and in the company’s website were reclassified retroactively to 1Q08 based on the new criteria adopted.

Except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of R$ and 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 União Terminais
In June 2008, Ultrapar signed the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% shares of União Terminais e Armazéns Gerais Ltda., a company involved in the storage and handling of bulk liquids previously held by Unipar – União das Indústrias Petroquímicas S.A., with operations in the ports located in Santos (in the state of São Paulo), Rio de Janeiro and Paranaguá (in the state of Paraná - through a 50% stake in União/Vopak Armazéns Gerais Ltda.). In October 2008, Ultrapar announced to the market that it had closed the purchase of the port terminals in Santos and Rio de Janeiro and, in November 2008, the closing of the acquisition of the port terminal in Paranaguá. The results of the businesses acquired were consolidated in Ultrapar's financial statements after their respective closing dates. Ultrapar's financial statements in periods prior to 4Q08 do not include the results of the businesses acquired. The total acquisition amounted to R$ 519 million, including in this figure the assumption of R$ 32 million in net debt.


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. On March 31st, 2009, Ultrapar closed the acquisition of Texaco through the disbursement of
R$ 1,106 million, in addition to the US$ 38 million deposit made to Chevron in August 2008. Texaco’s results started to be consolidated into Ultrapar's financial statements from April 1st, 2009 on. Ultrapar's financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.

With the purpose of providing a comparison basis for analysis of the evolution in the performance of Ipiranga prior to the consolidation of Texaco’s results, we have included in this document a discussion on the results we estimate Ipiranga would have obtained in 2Q09 excluding Texaco’s results (“Ipiranga ex-Texaco”).

Likewise, in order to allow the understanding of Texaco’s recurring contribution to Ipiranga’s consolidated results, we have excluded R$ 28 million in non-recurring expenses incurred in 2Q09 with the conversion of Texaco service stations into the Ipiranga brand and with integration of operations (“Texaco ex-non-recurring expenses”).

The table below summarizes Ipiranga’s results for 2Q09, which are segregated into Ipiranga ex-Texaco, Texaco ex-non-recurring expenses, Ipiranga ex-non-recurring expenses (resulting from the sum of the first two items) and Ipiranga as consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements:

(2) Performance Analysis:

Net Sales and Services: Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 9,622 million in 2Q09, up 38% from 2Q08, as a consequence of the sales growth in all of its units and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. Compared with 1Q09, Ultrapar's net sales and services increased by 50% as a consequence of seasonality in its businesses and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. In the first half of 2009, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 16,033 million, up 24% compared with the first half of 2008, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s net revenues from 2Q09 on.

Ultragaz: According to the Brazilian National Oil Agency (ANP), the Brazilian LPG market decreased by 2.1% in 2Q09 compared with 2Q08, mainly as a result of less selling days in 2Q09 and the lower level of industrial activity. In the same period, Ultragaz's sales volume reached 401 thousand tons, a 2.6% decrease in relation to 2Q08, practically in line with the market variation. In the bottled segment, Ultragaz’s sales volume amounted to 281 thousand tons, almost stable compared with 2Q08. The stability in the bottled segment for 2Q09 is the result of (i) the resilient demand in the segment, as it is a good of first necessity, and (ii) commercial initiatives implemented by the company, including new markets. Ultragaz's sales in the bulk segment (UltraSystem) decreased by 7% in 2Q09, reflecting the lower level of industrial activity and a temporary consumption by a major client in 2Q08. Compared with 1Q09, Ultragaz’s sales volume rose by 10%, slightly higher than the average market seasonality of 8.6% for the last five years. For the first half of 2009, Ultragaz totals 765 thousand tons in sales volume, down 2% compared with 1H08. Ultragaz's net sales and services amounted to R$ 863 million in 2Q09, a 1% increase on 2Q08, despite the 2.6% decrease in sales volume, as a result of a recovery in average prices, to which the operational efficiency programs contributed, as well as the rise in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment in 2008. Compared with 2Q09, net sales and services increased by 13%, basically as a consequence of seasonality between quarters. For 1H09, Ultragaz’s net sales and services totalled R$ 1,628 million, up 2% from 1H08.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s sales volumes totalled 3,055 thousand cubic meters, in line with the sales volume for 2Q08. Fuel sales volume for passenger cars (gasoline, ethanol and NGV) grew 8%, mainly as a consequence of the increase in light vehicles fleet during the last 12 months and investments in new Ipiranga service stations in 2008. Diesel sales volume decreased by 5%, following the slowdown in the economy. Compared with 1Q09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco reported a 10% increase in sales volume, reflecting basically the typical seasonality between periods. For 1H09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco totals 5,825 thousand cubic meters in sales volume, up 1% compared with Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s sales volume for 1H08.

Texaco’s sales volume for 2Q09 totalled 1,580 thousand cubic meters, which, together with Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s sales volume, allowed Ipiranga’s sales volume to reach 4,635 thousand cubic meters in 2Q09, up 51% compared with 2Q08 and corresponding to 22% of the Brazilian fuel market. Compared with 1Q09, Ipiranga reported a 67% increase in sales volume, reflecting basically the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 and the typical seasonality between quarters. For 1H09, Ipiranga totals 7,405 thousand cubic meters in sales volume, up 28% compared with Ipiranga’s sales volume for 1H08.

Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s net sales and services totalled R$ 5,429 million in 2Q09, down 3% compared with 2Q08, despite the stability in sales volume, basically due to (i) anhydrous and hydrated ethanol cost fluctuations; and (ii) increased participation of ethanol in total sales. Compared with 1Q09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s net sales and services rose by 6% as a result of an increase in sales volume, partially offset by a reduction in diesel costs occurred in June 2009 and in ethanol costs. For 1H09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s net sales and services totalled
R$ 10,543 million, up 2% from 1H08.

With the consolidation of Texaco, Ipiranga’s net sales and services reached R$ 8,213 million in 2Q09, up 47% and 61% compared with 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively. For 1H09, Ipiranga’s net sales and services totalled
 R$ 13,326 million, up 29% from 1H08.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totalled 160 thousand tons, up 10% (14 thousand tons) compared with 2Q08, mainly due to increases in the production capacity and the imports replacement process. In the domestic market, sales volume rose by 6% (6 thousand tons), with a good performance in specialty chemicals sold to the cosmetics, detergents, and agrochemicals industries. Sales volume in the foreign market grew by 19% (8

thousand tons) due to an increase in exports, of specialties, as a result of the expansions, and of glycols. Compared with 1Q09, the sales volume rose by 29% (36 thousand tons) as a result of the same elements above and the seasonality between quarters, with sales of specialty chemicals accounting for two-thirds (24 thousand tons) of the total growth in sales volume. Oxiteno’s sales volume for 1H09 totals 284 thousand tons, in line with the sales volume for 1H08. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totalled R$ 473 million in 2Q09, up 6% from 2Q08, as a result of a 10% growth in sales volume and a 25% weaker Real, partially offset by a 23% reduction in average dollar prices, particularly international glycol prices. Compared with 1Q09, net sales and services increased by 3% due to a growth in sales volume, which was mostly offset by a 10% stronger Real and a 12% decrease in average dollar prices. Net sales and services in 1H09 were R$ 933 million, up 8% from 1H08.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo reported a 67% increase in average storage measured in cubic meters compared with 2Q08 as a consequence of (i) the consolidation of União Terminais from 4Q08 on, (ii) the expansions of the Aratu terminal, and (iii) a higher occupancy rate at the Santos terminal. Compared with 1Q09, Ultracargo’s average storage rose by 12% as a result of (i) the effects of the seasonality between quarters, particularly an increase in the handling of ethanol and oils, and (ii) the start-up of an expansion at the Aratu terminal. In the transportation segment, total kilometrage travelled declined by 34% and 6% compared with 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, mainly due to a lower level of economic activity compared with 2Q08 and to Ultracargo’s decision to reduce its presence in the packed cargo segment. For the first half, Ultracargo totals a 56% increase in the average occupancy rate at its terminals, and a 28% decrease in the total kilometrage travelled. Ultracargo reported net sales and services of R$ 88 million for 2Q09, up 35% compared with 2Q08, as a result of (i) the consolidation of União Terminais from 4Q08 on and (ii) higher average storage and contractual tariff adjustments. Compared with 1Q09, Ultracargo's net sales and services increased by 8% as a consequence of seasonality between quarters and the start-up of an expansion at the Aratu terminal. For 1H09, Ultracargo’s net sales and services totalled R$ 170 million, up 36% from 1H08.

Cost of Good Sold: Ultrapar's cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 8,927 million in 2Q09, up 37% and 52% compared with 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, as a result of an increase in sales volume and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. In the first half of 2009, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold amounted to
R$ 14,813 million, up 24% compared with the first half of 2008, basically as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s cost of goods sold from 2Q09 on.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 724 million in 2Q09, down 2% and up 11% compared with 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, as a result of a variation in sales volume between the compared periods, as well as the rise in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment in 2008, partially offset by the operational efficiency programs implemented. For 1H09, Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold totalled R$ 1,378 million, 1% lower than that in 1H08.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s cost of goods sold totalled R$ 5,105 million in 2Q09, down 4% compared with 2Q08, as a result of (i) anhydrous and hydrated ethanol cost fluctuations; and (ii) increased participation of ethanol in total sales. Compared with 1Q09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s cost of goods sold rose by 6% as a result of an increase in sales volume, partially offset by a reduction in diesel costs occurred in June 2009 and in ethanol costs. For 1H09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s cost of goods sold totalled R$ 9,928 million, up 2% from 1H08.

With the consolidation of Texaco, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold amounted to at R$ 7,780 million in 2Q09, up 46% and 61% compared with 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively. For 1H09, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold totalled
R$ 12,603 million, up 29% from 1H08.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno's cost of goods sold in 2Q09 amounted to R$ 400 million, a 7% increase on 2Q08, due to a 10% growth in sales volume, a 25% weaker Real and higher depreciation, as a result of the start-up of the expanded operations in 4Q08. These effects were partially offset by a reduction in the variable cost in dollars per ton. However, as occurred in the 1Q09, such reduction in the variable cost in dollars per ton reported in the financial statements was significantly lower than, for example, the 42% reduction in international ethylene prices, due to the process of realization of Oxiteno’s inventories with historical costs higher than replacement costs. Compared with 1Q09, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold rose by 6% due to an increase in sales volume, partially offset by a 10% stronger Real. For 1H09, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold totalled R$ 776 million, up 9% from 1H08.
 
 
76


 
Ultracargo: Ultracargo's cost of services provided in 2Q09 amounted to R$ 51 million, a 12% increase on 2Q08, as a consequence of the consolidation of the cost of services provided by União Terminais from 4Q08 on and an increase in the volume of products handled at the terminals, partially offset by the realization of operational synergies resulting from the consolidation of União Terminais and a reduced presence in the packed cargo transportation segment. Compared with 1Q09, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided was up by 6%, due to seasonality between quarters. For 1H09, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided totalled R$ 99 million, up 18% from 1H08.

Gross profit: Ultrapar’s gross profit amounted to R$ 694 million in 2Q09, up 42% from 2Q08 as a consequence of the growth seen in all the business units and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. Compared with 1Q09, Ultrapar’s gross profit was up by 32%, as a consequence of seasonality in its businesses and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. In 1H09, Ultrapar’s gross profit totalled R$ 1,221 million, a 28% increase compared with 1H08.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses: Sales, general and administrative expenses at Ultrapar totalled
R$ 480 million in 2Q09, up 44% and 36% from 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, basically due to Texaco’s consolidation from 2Q09 on. In the first half of 2009, Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 833 million, up 25% compared with the first half of 2008, basically as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s sales, general and administrative expenses from 2Q09 on.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz's sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 94 million in 2Q09, 4% up from 2Q08, as a consequence of the effect of inflation on expenses and higher expenses related to sales campaigns, partially offset by lower indemnification expenses and expense reduction initiatives implemented in 2008. Compared with 1Q09, sales, general and administrative expenses were up by 7%, basically due to an increase in sales volume and in variable compensation, in line with the recent progression of the company’s results. For 1H09, Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses totalled R$ 181 million, up 3% compared with 1H08.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga ex-Texaco's sales, general and administrative expenses (including employees statutory interest) amounted to R$ 191 million in 2Q09, up 23% and 7% from 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively. Sales expenses increased by 23% compared with 2Q08, basically due to a rise in the freight unit cost and a concentration of advertising and marketing expenses in 2Q09, combined with a low level in 2Q08. Compared with 1Q09, sales expenses were up by 12%, basically as a consequence of a 10% increase in sales volume. Compared with 2Q08, general and administrative expenses (including employees statutory interest) increased by 23% as a result of (i) higher depreciation expenses, (ii) higher personnel expenses as a consequence of the annual collective wage agreement and an increase in variable compensation, in line with the progression of the results, and (iii) higher environment-related expenses. Compared with 1Q09, general and administrative expenses (including employees statutory interest) increased by 3%. For 1H09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s sales, general and administrative expenses (including employees statutory interest) totalled R$ 370 million, up 15% compared with 1H08.

With the consolidation of Texaco, Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses (including employees statutory interest) totalled R$ 297 million in 2Q09, up 91% and 66% from 2Q08 and 2Q09, respectively, including expenses of R$ 21 million related to the conversion of Texaco service stations to the Ipiranga brand in the quarter and of R$ 7 million related to Texaco’s integration. For 1H09, Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses (including employees statutory interest) totalled R$ 475 million, up 48% compared with 1H08.

Oxiteno: Sales, general and administrative expenses of Oxiteno amounted to R$ 68 million in 2Q09, up 20% from 2Q08, mainly as a consequence of (i) increase in volume sold, (ii) higher national and international freight unit cost as a result of a rise in diesel prices, a 25% weaker Real, and a higher participation of sales in the foreign market, (iii) an increase in personnel expenses as a result of the annual collective wage agreement, and (iv) higher expenses related to Oxiteno’s operations outside Brazil. Compared with 1Q09, sales, general and administrative expenses at Oxiteno rose by 8%, despite a 29% increase in sales volume, as a consequence of the 10% stronger Real and a decrease in variable compensation. For 1H09, sales, general and administrative expenses totalled R$ 131 million, up 23% compared with 1H08.
 
 
77


 
Ultracargo: Ultracargo's sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 23 million in 2Q09, up 12% compared with 2Q08, due to the consolidation of sales, general and administrative expenses from União Terminais from 4Q08 on. Compared with 1Q09, Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2%. For 1H09, sales, general and administrative expenses totalled R$ 46 million, up 15% compared with 1H08.

Income from Operations before Financial Items: Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items amounted to R$ 215 million in 2Q09, up 31% from 2Q08 as a consequence of the increase in the income from operations before financial items of Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Compared with 1Q09, Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items was up by 21%. In 1H09, Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items totalled R$ 393 million, a 29% increase compared with 1H08.

Financial result: Ultrapar reported net financial expense of R$ 87 million in 2Q09, R$ 75 million higher than that in 2Q08. The increase in net financial expense in 2Q09 reflects an increase in Ultrapar’s net debt, which increased from R$ 421 million at the end of 2Q08 to R$ 2,352 million at the end of 2Q09, as a result of investments in organic expansion and acquisitions over the last 12 months, particularly the disbursement related to Texaco on March 31st, 2009. Compared with 1Q09, net financial expense was R$ 28 million higher, due to an increase in Ultrapar's average net debt resulting from the disbursement to pay for the acquisition of Texaco. For 1H09, Ultrapar’s net financial expenses came in at R$ 146 million, up R$ 97 million from 1H08.

Depreciation and Amortization: Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 2Q09 were R$ 105 million, R$ 16 million higher than those in 2Q08 due to the addition of the depreciation resulting from (i) the acquisitions of União Terminais and Texaco, (ii) Oxiteno’s expanded operations from 4Q08 on, and (iii) investments in new and re-branded service stations at Ipiranga, partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization expenses starting from January 1st, 2009. Compared with 1Q09, total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses increased by R$ 9 million as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s depreciation. For 1H09, total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses amounted to R$ 202 million, up R$ 25 million compared with 1H08.

Other revenues and expenses (former "Non-Operating Results"): In 2Q09 Ultrapar reported other revenues of
R$ 7 million, mainly due to the sale of trucks and bottles in 2Q09, compared with other revenues of R$ 1 million in 2Q08 related to the sale of a Ultracargo’s land in Mauá. In 1Q09, Ultrapar reported other revenues of R$ 3 million, mainly due to the sale of trucks. For 1H09, other revenues reached R$ 10 million, up R$ 3 million from 1H08.

Income and Social Contribution / Benefit of Tax Holidays: Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 41 million in 2Q09, compared with an expense R$ 40 million in 2Q08, despite the lower pre-tax profit, due to a decreased participation of regions with tax benefits in the results. Compared with 1Q09, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays was up 38%. In 1H09, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays amounted to R$ 70 million, 23% up from 1H08.

Net Earnings: Net earnings in 2Q09 amounted to R$ 93 million, down 15% compared with 2Q08, due to an increase in net debt and the higher depreciation resulting from investments in organic expansion and acquisitions over the last 12 months, partially offset by the growth in EBITDA. Compared with 1Q09, net earnings increased by 2%, mainly as a consequence of the increase in EBITDA. For 1H09, Ultrapar’s net earnings reached R$ 184 million, down 8% from 1H08.

EBITDA: Ultrapar’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 321 million in 2Q09, up 28% and 17% from 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, as a consequence of the EBITDA growth in all the business units and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 on. In the first half of 2009, Ultrapar’s EBITDA totalled R$ 595 million, up 25% compared with the first half of 2008.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 74 million in 2Q09, up 36% and 41% on 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, basically as a consequence of (i) a recovery in margins, to which the operational efficiency

programs implemented contributed, and (ii) the effects of seasonality in comparison with 1Q09. For 1H09, Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 126 million, up 33% from 1H08.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 162 million in 2Q09, up 5% and 13% from 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively, basically as a consequence of (i) measures implemented to improve legislation and inspection of the fuel sector, with influence over the fluctuations of prices and costs of ethanol, and (ii) an increase in sales volume compared with 1Q09. For 1H09, Ipiranga ex-Texaco’s EBITDA reached R$ 305 million, up 8% from 1H08.

Texaco ex-non-recurring expenses’ EBITDA for 2Q09, which excludes expenses of R$ 21 million related to the conversion of Texaco service stations to the Ipiranga brand and of R$ 7 million related to integration of operations, amounted to R$ 38 million, which corresponds to an EBITDA unit margin of R$ 24/m3, higher than the observed pre-acquisition margin.

Therefore, Ipiranga ex-non-recurring expenses’ EBITDA totalled R$ 200 million, and the EBITDA unit margin reached R$ 43/m³. Including non-recurring expenses, Ipiranga reported EBITDA of R$ 172 million in 2Q09, totalling R$ 316 million in 1H09.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA totalled R$ 29 million in 2Q09, up 10% from 2Q08, as a result of a 25% weaker Real in 2Q09 and a 10% increase in sales volume, mostly offset by a difference between historical costs and replacement costs in 2Q09. Compared with 1Q09, EBITDA decreased by 37% as a result of (i) a 10% stronger Real in 2Q09 and its 16% appreciation over the quarter, and (ii) a decrease in average dollar prices, as a result of a higher participation of glycols and exports in sales, without an equivalent reduction in dollar costs, due to the process of realization of inventories with historical costs higher than replacement costs. For 1H09, Oxiteno’s EBITDA reached R$ 75 million, up 2% from 1H08. Oxiteno estimates that the effect from the difference between historical and replacement costs was R$ 35 million and R$ 68 million for 2Q09 and 1H09, respectively.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo reported EBITDA of R$ 28 million, R$ 20 million higher than in 2Q08, as a consequence of the consolidation of União Terminais from 4Q08 on and the resulting operational synergies, the expansions of the Aratu terminal, and an increase in the volume of products handled at the Santos terminal. Compared with 1Q09, Ultracargo’s EBITDA increased by 17%, due to an increase in the volume of products handled at its terminals. In 2Q09, Ultracargo’s EBITDA margin reached 32%, higher than the 13% and 29% margins reported in 2Q08 and 1Q09, respectively. For 1H09, Ultracargo’s EBITDA reached R$ 52 million, up 182% from 1H08. Ultracargo’s EBITDA margin in 1H09 was 31%, twice the 15% margin reported in 1H08.
