To
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ultrapar Participações S.A.
São Paulo – SP


We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (the Company), included in the Quarterly Financial Information - ITR of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, comprising the balance sheet, the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, including its explanatory information.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC n° 21 – Interim Financial Information and of these consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncements CPC n° 21  and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), comprising the presentation of these information consistent with rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), which are applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
 
Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International review standards of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance of standards on auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual Quarterly Financial Information
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made in the individual interim financial 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), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information.

Other matters

Statement of value added

We also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim information included in the statement of value added (DVA), for the quarter ended on March 31, 2011, which disclosure in the Quarterly Financial Information is required in accordance with regulations issued by Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information and supplementary information considered by IFRS, which does not require the disclosure of statement of value added (DVA).This statement was submitted to the same review procedures previously described and, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made in relation to the Quarterly Financial Information individual and consolidated taken as a whole.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
1.  Operations
 
Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Company”), is a Company with headquarters at the Brigadeiro Luis Antônio Avenue, 1343 in São Paulo – SP, Brazil.
 
It engages in the investment of its own capital in commercial and industrial activities, provision of services, and related businesses, including the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies.Through its subsidiaries, it operates in the segments of liquefied petroleum gas - LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), light fuel & lubricant distribution, and related business (“Ipiranga”), production and marketing of chemicals (“Oxiteno”), and provision of storage services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”). The Company also operates a petroleum refining business through its investment in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. (“RPR”).
 
2.  Summary of significant accounting policies
 
Aiming at the convergence of the Brazilian accounting practices to the IFRS, during the years 2009 and 2010 the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) issued several resolutions approving the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) pronouncements and established new accounting standards applicable to Brazil, effective in 2010 (“New BR GAAP”). These statements are in accordance with the international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
 
The interim financial information as of March 31, 2011 was prepared in accordance with Resolution CVM 581/09 (CPC 21) and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB.
 
The Company’s individual interim financial information are stated according to the New BR GAAP, which differs from IFRS in two respects. IFRS does not require the equity method of accounting for the individual interim financial information of the parent company. Besides equity accounting, the parent company’s interim financial information in New BR GAAP contain another difference to IFRS, as expressly permitted by CPC 43 (R1), relating to the deferred charges written off as of December 31, 2010, when such difference was eliminated.
 
The Company’s consolidated interim financial information are stated according to the IFRS, issued by IASB. The consolidated interim financial information as of 2010, previously reported in New BRGAAP (in accordance with CPC 43), is being presented considering the deferred charges written off in the IFRS initial adoption (in accordance with CPC 43(R1)). See Note 28 for further detail of deferred charges amortization effects in the income statements as of the first quarter of 2010.
 
The accounting policies described below were applied by the Company and its subsidiaries in a consistent manner for all periods presented in these Company and consolidated interim financial information.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
a.  
Recognition of income
 
Revenue from sales and costs are recognized when all risks and benefits associated with the products are transferred to the purchaser. Revenue from services provided and their costs are recognized when the services are provided. 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 4 for further detail on cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
c.  
Financial instruments
 
In accordance with IAS 39 (CPC 38, 39 and 40), 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 information

(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 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.
 
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 4, 14, and 20.
 
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 net realizable 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 2.r).

e.  
Investments
 
Investments in subsidiaries are valued by the equity method of accounting in the interim financial information of the parent company.
 
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 shared control are also accounted for the equity method of accounting (see Note 11). In the consolidated interim financial information the investments under shared control are consolidated proportionally by the Company (See Note 3).
 
The other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for loss, unless the loss is considered temporary.
 
f.

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 12. 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 14.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.

h.  
Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the main criteria below (see Note 13):
 
• Goodwill is carried net of 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 IFRS 3(R), 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 have not recorded intangible assets that were created internally or that have an indefinite useful life, except goodwill.

The estimated amount of the obligation to remove this fuel tank is recorded as a liability when tanks are installed. The amount is recorded in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are adjusted until the respective tank is removed (see Note 16). The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.
 
l.

m.  
Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Basis for translation of interim financial information 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 information. 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.

For IFRS purposes, based on IAS 29, from 2010, Venezuela is regarded as a hyperinflationary economy. As a result, the interim financial information of Oxiteno Andina C.A. were adjusted by the Venezuelan Consumer Price Index (CPI).
 
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, 2011 amounted to R$ 243 (R$ 609 gain as of March 31, 2010).

q.  
Impairment of assets
 
The Company reviews, at least annually, the carrying value of assets for their possible 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 7).

 (*)
The Company maintains a shared equity interest in these companies, whose articles of organization establish a joint control. These joint ventures are recognized by the Company using proportionate consolidation, as allowed by IAS 31.
 
 
RPR is primarily engaged in oil refining, Maxfácil Participações S.A. is primarily engaged in the management of Ipiranga-branded credit cards, and União Vopak Armazéns Gerais Ltda. is primarily engaged in liquid bulk storage in the port of Paranaguá.
 
Business combination – Acquisition of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”)
 
On November 1, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”), acquired a 100% equity interest in DNP for an amount of R$ 72,330, subject to final working capital adjustment. This acquisition reinforces the strategy of expansion, initiated with the acquisition of Texaco, to the Midwest, Northeast and North 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 acquisition cost was allocated among the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, valued at fair value. During the process of identification of assets and liabilities, intangible assets which were not recognized in the acquired entity’s books were also taken into account. The provisional goodwill based on expected future earnings is R$ 15,602. The estimated value added for assets acquired, which is being determined based on a report prepared by an independent appraiser, has a provisional value of R$ 54,349, which reflects the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets.
 
The table below summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the completion of the acquisition:

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 14.i). Borrowing arrangements are contracted in light of temporary cash surpluses or deficits of the Company and its subsidiaries.

b.    Key management personnel - Compensation (Consolidated)
 
The Company’s compensation strategy combines short and long-term elements, following the principles of alignment of interests and of the maintenance of a competitive compensation, and is aimed at retaining key officers and compensating them adequately according to their attributed responsibilities and the value created to the Company and its shareholders.

Further details about stock compensation are contained in Note 8.c) and about post employment benefits in Note 22. In addition, the Company has a plan for variable long-term remuneration with the purpose of aligning the long-term interests of executive officers and shareholders, as well as the retention of these executives. The Ultrapar´executive officers may receive additional variable compensation depending on the Company’s shares’ performance between 2006 and 2011, reflecting the target of more than doubling the share value of the Company in 5 years.

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, 2011, including tax charges, was R$ 39,164 (R$ 39,164 as of December 31, 2010).

The fair value of collateral recognized in current liabilities is R$ 97 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 190 as of December 31, 2010), which is recognized in income as customers set their obligations with financial institutions.
 
Some financing agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries have cross default clauses that require them to pay the debt assumed in case of default of other debts equal to or greater than US$ 10 million. As of March 31, 2011, there was no event of default of the debts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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 Company and its subsidiaries 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Amount disclosed due to its magnitude and to RPR having independent financial management. The net asset position as of March 31, 2011 of RPR reflects the amount of R$ 6.4 million of contracted exchange rate swaps primarily to protect the future imports of oil and to protect foreign currency debt, net of (i) R$ 6.6 million of financing in foreign currency and (ii) R$ 0.5 million of suppliers in foreign currency.

Based on the net liability position of R$ 165.8 million in foreign currency shown above, the Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 16.6 million, of which R$ 22.8 million of losses recognized in income and R$ 6.2 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$ 16.6 million, of which R$ 22.8 million of gains recognized in income and R$ 6.2 million of loss directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments (see Note 2.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 CDI, as set forth in Note 4. Fund raising primarily results from financing from BNDES and other development agencies, debentures and funds raised in foreign currency, as shown in Note 14.

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, 2011, 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, hedge instruments 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.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
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 volume of financial investments is 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. No single customer or group accounts for more than 10% of total revenue. As of March 31, 2011, Ipiranga maintained R$ 103,639 (R$ 101,275 as of December 31, 2010), Ultragaz maintained R$ 17,714 (R$ 16,613 as of December 31, 2010), Oxiteno maintained R$ 1,489 (R$ 1,429 as of December 31, 2010) and Ultracargo maintained R$ 645 (R$ 615 as of December 31, 2010) as a provision for potential loss on their accounts and assets receivables.

Liquidity risk

 
The Company and its subsidiaries’ main sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financings. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy their current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt and payment of dividends.
 
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries examine the opportunities for acquisitions and investments. They consider different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or affiliated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, through funding raised in the capital markets, through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries believe to have enough working capital to satisfy their current needs. The gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totals R$ 1,338 million. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2011 totals R$ 1,044 million. On March 31, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 2,800.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term financial investments (for quantitative information, see Notes 4 and 14).

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.

All transactions mentioned above were properly registered with CETIP S.A., except for the 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 March 31, 2011 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, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 174.3 million in notional amount and, on average, they had asset position at US$ + 5.46 p.a. and liability position at 119.74 % 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, 2011, these swap contracts totaled US$ 112.2 million and, on average, had an asset position at 74.57% 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, 2011 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 March 31, 2011, 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. On March 31, 2011 the subsidiary RPR held no NDF (non-deliverable forwards).

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 March 31, 2011, this swap contract totaled US$ 4.0 millions in notional amount, proportional to the Company’s interest in RPR, and had asset position at US$ + 1.84% p.a. and liability position at 101.25 % 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 of changes of subsidiary RPR on future imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On March 31, 2011 these instruments of protection amounted US$ 60.0 million.

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.
 
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, 2011 these instruments of protection totaled R$ 1,809.5 million. The Company and its Subsidiaries recognized a gain of R$ 4.1 million in the period, of which R$ (22.4) million refer to the result of instruments of protection and R$ 26.5 million refer to the fair value adjustment of the debt.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

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 information, 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.
For fair value calculation of LPG’s notes in the external market (see Note 14.b) the price quoted in an active market is used.
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, 2011 and December 31, 2010. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries can use 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.

Financial instruments were classified as loans and receivables, except (i) all exchange rate and interest rate hedging instruments, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, (ii) financial investments (see Note 4), (iii) funding from the Banco do Brasil that is measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14.e), (iv) accounts receivable that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.i) and Ipiranga customer financing (see Note 5), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Thus, accounts receivable, loans and financing, accounts payable and trade payables are substantially classified as loans and receivables.

Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments

The financial instruments recognized at fair value on the balance sheet are classified in the following categories:

 
(a) 
Level 1 - prices negotiated (without adjustment) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 
(b) 
Level 2 - inputs other than prices negotiated in active markets included in Level 1 and observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

 
(c) 
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).

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, 2011. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.34 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.

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, 2011 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, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011 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.

Contingencies and commitments (Consolidated)

a.         Civil, tax and labor proceedings

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Companhia Ultragaz S.A. 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$ 191,452 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 185,398 as of December 31, 2010) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

Subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, Utingás Armazenadora S.A. (“Utingás”), Tequimar 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 in the previous year. Ultracargo Participação maintain a provision of R$ 998 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 980 as of December 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$ 6,535 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 6,481 as of December 31, 2010).

Subsidiary IPP has a pending Declaratory Judgment Action challenging the constitutionality of Law No. 9.316/96, which has made CSLL nondeductible for the IRPJ calculation basis. The claim was denied in the first and second instances, an extraordinary appeal was not entertained by the STF (Federal Supreme Court), and the case was remanded to the lower Court for new trial. Backed by an order issued in a Provisional Remedy connected to the main action, the subsidiary made a deposit in court for the amounts challenged and maintains a provision for this contingency in the amount of R$ 13,103 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 12,934 as of December 31, 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$ 1,004 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 982 as of December 31, 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, Tequimar, 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$ 61,456 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 57,302 as of December 31, 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$ 35,972, 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$ 19,526 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 19,216 as of December 31, 2010).

IPP and its subsidiaries maintain provisions for ICMS-related contingencies mainly in connection with (a) appropriation of a credit related to the difference between the amount that served as a basis for tax withholding and the amount actually charged in the sale to end consumers, which resulted in excess ICMS withholding by refineries: R$ 10,325; (b) tax-deficiency notices for interstate sales of fuels to industrial customers without payment of ICMS due to the interpretation of Article 2 of Supplementary Law No. 87/96: R$ 28,411; (c) tax-deficiency notices for the use of a deemed credit resulting from interstate transfers of Hydrated Ethyl Alcohol Fuel (HEAF), since, in the opinion of the state tax authority, the deemed credit was allowed only when resulting from acquisitions directly from third parties: R$ 6,703; (d) collection of ICMS-ST (State VAT Substitution) from distributors on interstate sales to end consumers, since there is no withholding under ICMS Agreements No. 105/92 and No. 112/93: R$ 4,903; (e) attorneys’ fees in connection with Motions to Stay Execution which have been adhered to in a tax amnesty in the State of Minas Gerais, since the fees had already been awarded against the company at the time of adhesion: R$ 9,312, (f) collection of ICMS on the common ground of non-payment, since there are several reasons that resulted in the tax assessments and whose rebuttal is not evident: R$ 14,842.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 

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 information, relate to ICMS and related mainly to: (a) 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 (current National Oil Agency), R$ 87,033, (b) 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$ 15,888 (c) assessments for alleged lack of tax payment, R$ 24,324; (d) records of notices issued in Ourinhos/SP for the operations to return the loan of ethanol made with tax deferral, R$ 24,505, (e) 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$ 10,303, (f) 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$ 19,696, (g) 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$ 16,174 (h) assessment notices relating to the disallowance of ICMS credits legitimately appropriated by the company due to alledged non-compliance with formalities required under applicable law R$ 18,458 and (i) assessments arising from ICMS credits relative to the inputs of AEHC, in alledged disagreement with the law, from certain States that had granted tax benefits to producers of alcohol, R$ 23,299.

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, 2011, is R$ 61,148 (R$ 60,053 as of December 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$ 30,466 as taxes payable.

In 1990, the Petrochemical Workers’ Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of companies sited on Petrochemical Hub in the Camaçari, of which Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are members, filed individual claims against the subsidiaries for the performance of the Section 4 of the Collective Labor Agreement, which provided for a salary adjustment in lieu of the salary policies actually implemented. In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica for recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such Section 4. Individual claims were denied. The collective dispute is currently awaiting trial by the STF. In the second half of 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective dispute. Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, who have reviewed the latest STF decision in the collective dispute and the position of the individual claims involving subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, the management of those subsidiaries decided that it was not necessary to record a provision as of March 31, 2011.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz has answered an administrative proceeding before the CADE ( the Brazilian Antitrust Authority) based on alleged anticompetitive practices in municipalities of the Triângulo Mineiro region in 2001, in which a fine in the amount of R$ 23,104 was awarded against it. The execution of such administrative decision was suspended by a court order and the credit is being discussed in court. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal advisors, the management of the subsidiary has not recorded a provision for 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 39 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 Company has not recorded a provision for these cases because it believes that the likeliness of realization of this contingency is essentially remote, and also because it has insurance coverage for the full amount in dispute.

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$ 92,290 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 91,644 as of December 31, 2010) and also a provision of R$ 24,429 as of March 31, 2011 (R$ 23,259 as of December 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 information due to their contingent nature.

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$ 1,307 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 audit on interim financial information, and consequently haven’t been audited 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:

   
03/31/2011
   
12/31/2010
 
             
Up to 1 year
    659       752  
More than 1 year
    305       400  
      964       1,152  

The total payments of operating lease recognized as expense for the quarter was R$ 188 (R$ 139 as of March 31, 2010).

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, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 3,560 (R$ 3,216 as of March 31, 2010) 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 March 31, 2011 was 7,266 active participants and 50 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 29 former employees receiving benefits under the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b.        Post-employment benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries 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, 2011 are R$ 104,501 (R$ 104,501 as of December 31, 2010), of which R$ 12,060 (R$ 11,339 as of December 31, 2010) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 92,441 (R$ 93,162 as of December 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 information in accordance with Resolution CVM 600/2009.

Earnings per share
 
The table below presents a conciliation of numerators and denominators used in the computing earnings per share. Earnings per share of 2010, consider the stock split occured in February 2011. As mentioned in Note 8.c), the Company has a share compensation plan. The impact of this share compensation plan on earnings per share was minimal for all the periods presented and consequently, the Company has not been presenting a separate calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in the presentation of financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements of 2010 and for the quarter ended March 31st, 2011 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differs in certain aspects from the previous Brazilian accounting standards.

For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the IFRS, 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 IFRS on the main line items of the 2009 and 2010 financial statements in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the IFRS is available in note 2 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 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 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. In October 2010, Ultrapar disbursed R$ 2 million in connection with the expected working capital adjustment. The financial statements of Ultrapar and Ultracargo from 3Q10 onwards no longer include the businesses sold.

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, with an initial disbursement of R$ 47 million in November 2010 and an additional disbursement of R$ 26 million in January 2011, subject to the final working capital adjustment. Ultrapar’s and Ipiranga’s financial statements started 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$ 10,806 million in 1Q11, up 9% over 1Q10, as a consequence of the sales growth in Ultragaz, Ipiranga, and Oxiteno. Compared with 4Q10, Ultrapar’s net sales and services decreased by 4%, as a result of seasonality between periods.

Ultragaz: In 1Q11, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 381 thousand tons, up 3% over 1Q10. In the bottled segment, Ultragaz’s sales volume increased by 1% over 1Q10. In the bulk segment, sales volume grew by 7%, due to the increased economic activity and the investments made to capture new clients. Compared with 4Q10, sales volume decreased by 5%, as a result of seasonality between periods. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 866 million in 1Q11, up 3% over 1Q10, in line with the variation in the volume sold. Compared with 4Q10, net sales and services decreased by 6%, as a result of a seasonally lower volume.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 4,898 thousand cubic meters in 1Q11, up 7% over 1Q10. In 1Q11, the sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 11%, as a consequence of the estimated 8% growth in the light vehicle fleet and the investments made to expand its network. The diesel volume grew by 4%, on the back of the growth of the Brazilian economy. Compared with 4Q10, sales volume decreased by 8%, as a result of seasonality between periods, with reduction in diesel and ethanol volumes partially offset by a 3% growth in gasoline volumes, which reflects the lower availability and competitiveness of ethanol in 1Q11. Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 9,333 million in 1Q11, up 9% from net sales and services for 1Q10, mainly as a consequence of increased sales volume and higher ethanol costs, due to the lower product availability. Compared with 4Q10, Ipiranga’s net sales and services decreased by 4%, as a result of a seasonally lower volume, partially offset by the increase in biodiesel and ethanol costs and by an increased share of gasoline in the sales mix.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 156 thousand tons, down 5% (7 thousand tons) from 1Q10, mainly as a result of unplanned stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex, due to a power outage in the Northeast region in early 2011. In the Brazilian market, sales volume decreased by 7% (9 thousand tons), as a consequence of the unplanned stoppages in the Camaçari petrochemical complex, partially offset by a growth in the cosmetics and detergents segment, which allowed an improved sales mix during this period. Sales volume outside Brazil grew by 3% (1 thousand ton) as a result of increased volumes sold by Oxiteno Mexico and Oxiteno Andina. Compared with 4Q10, sales volume decreased by 8% (14 thousand tons), as a result of seasonality between periods and the stoppages. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totaled R$ 548 million in 1Q11, up 16% over 1Q10, despite the 7% stronger Real and the 5% lower volume, as a consequence of the recovery in average prices in dollar during the last 12 months and of an improved sales mix in 1Q11. Compared with 4Q10, net sales and services increased by 5%, mainly as a consequence of increased average prices in dollar and of an improved sales mix, despite the reduction in sales volume and a stronger Real.

Ultracargo: In 1Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage remained stable in relation to 1Q10 and 4Q10, due to a decrease in the handling of ethanol, as a result of a shortage in the supply of this product, and to the stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex, which affected the handling of chemicals at the Aratu terminal, both offset by the growth in other terminals. Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 62 million in 1Q11, down 25% from 1Q10, as a consequence of the sale of in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses. Compared with 4Q10, net sales and services increased by 5%, as a consequence of an improved sales mix, with higher share of handling of chemicals, and of the increased effective storage.

Cost of Good Sold: Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 9,980 million in 1Q11, up 8% over 1Q10, as a result of the higher cost of goods sold in Ultragaz, Ipiranga, and Oxiteno. Compared with 4Q10, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold decreased by 4%, as a result of seasonality between periods.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 736 million in 1Q11, up 3% over 1Q10, in line with the higher volume sold. Compared with 4Q10, the cost of goods sold decreased by 6%, mainly as a result of a seasonally lower volume.

Ipiranga:  Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 8,809 million in 1Q11, up 8% over 1Q10, mainly as a result of the growth in sales volume and the increase in ethanol costs, due to the lower availability of this product. Compared with 4Q10, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold decreased by 4%, mainly as a result of a seasonally

lower volume, partially offset by the increase in biodiesel and ethanol costs and by an increased share of gasoline in the sales mix.

Oxiteno:  Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold in 1Q11 amounted to R$ 418 million, up 6% from 1Q10, as a result of the 18% increase in variable unit costs in dollars, partially offset by a 5% decrease in sales volume and a 7% stronger Real. Compared with 4Q10, the cost of goods sold remained stable, with the variation in variable unit costs in dollars offset by a reduction in volume sold and a stronger Real.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s cost of services provided amounted to R$ 26 million in 1Q11, down 36% from 1Q10, due to the effect of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses. Compared with 4Q10, cost of services provided increased by 2%, following the volume progression.

Gross profit: The gross profit of Ultrapar amounted to R$ 826 million in 1Q11, up 19% from 1Q10 as a consequence of the growth seen in the gross profit of Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultragaz. Compared with 4Q10, Ultrapar's gross profit decreased by 3%, as a consequence of seasonality between periods.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 85 million in 1Q11, down 2% from 1Q10, despite a 3% growth in volumes sold and the effects of inflation on expenses, as a consequence of a higher variable compensation in 1Q10. Compared with 4Q10, Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 16%, mainly as a result of a seasonally lower volume and the variable compensation.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 321 million in 1Q11, up 13% over 1Q10, due to the higher volume sold, the inflation on expenses, the higher variable compensation, in line with the earnings progression, and expansion projects. Compared with 4Q10, Ipiranga's sales, general and administrative expenses remained stable.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 80 million in 1Q11, up 24% over 1Q10, due to the effects of inflation on expenses and a higher variable compensation, in line with the earnings progression.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 15 million in 1Q11, down 21% from 1Q10, mainly due to the effect of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses.

Income from Operations before Financial Items: Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items amounted to R$ 334 million in 1Q11, up 35% from 1Q10 as a consequence of the increase in the income from operations before financial items of Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultragaz. Compared with 4Q10, Ultrapar’s income from operations before financial items decreased by 16%, as a consequence of the higher income of sale of assets in 4Q10.

Financial result: Ultrapar reported R$ 66 million of net financial expense in 1Q11, down R$ 7 million compared to net financial expense in 1Q10, mainly as a result of a lower cost of debt.

Income and Social Contribution / Benefit of Tax Holidays: Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 74 million in 1Q11, compared with an expense of R$ 52 million in 1Q10, basically as a result of a higher pre-tax profit in 1Q11. Compared with 4Q10, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays decreased by 16%.

Net Earnings: Ultrapar’s consolidated net earnings in 1Q11 amounted to R$ 194 million, up 58% over 1Q10, due to the EBITDA growth and lower net financial expense. Compared with 4Q10, net earnings decreased by 21%, mainly as a result of the higher income from sale of assets in 4Q10.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 286 million in 1Q11, up 26% over 1Q10, mainly on the back of higher sales volume, improved sales mix and margin recovery. Compared with 4Q10, Ipiranga’s EBITDA decreased by 11%, as a result of seasonally lower volume, partially offset by the above-mentioned factors.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 74 million in 1Q11, up 96% over 1Q10, as a result of the recovery in margins during the last 12 months and an improved sales mix in 1Q11, elements which offset the effects from (i) a 5% decrease in sales volume as a result of unplanned stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex and (ii) a 7% stronger Real.

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 from sale 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 from sale 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 2011 any service other than the external audit of the financial statements of Ultrapar and affiliated companies and subsidiaries.

We reported in this 1Q11 another quarter of significant and consistent earnings progression, presenting a 23% growth in EBITDA and a 58% growth in net earnings. In April, we announced a new corporate governance structure for Ultrapar aiming to deepen the alignment of interests and to endure the company’s growth, a structure that includes conversion of each preferred share into one common share, the migration to the Novo Mercado listing segment and amendments to the bylaws that strengthen the company’s corporate governance.
 
Ø ULTRAPAR’S NET SALES REACH R$ 11 BILLION IN 1Q11, 9% GROWTH OVER 1Q10
 
Ø ULTRAPAR’S EBITDA REACHES R$ 467 MILLION IN 1Q11, UP 23% OVER 1Q10
 
Ø ULTRAPAR’S NET EARNINGS REACH R$ 194 MILLION IN 1Q11, 58% HIGHER THAN THAT IN 1Q10.
 
“We entered 2011 presenting our nineteenth consecutive quarter of EBITDA growth, as a result of the benefits from the larger operating scale and our focus on value creation. With an eye on the future, we took in April an important step in our corporate governance evolution process. We announced the proposal for the migration to the Novo Mercado, under conditions that exceed the requirements of this listing segment of BM&FBOVESPA, establishing a differentiated corporate governance standard in Brazil. This new structure aims to position Ultrapar to repeat the performance of the last ten years, when our results grew at a pace exceeding 20% per year.”

Considerations on the financial and operational information

 
Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information
 
From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in the presentation of financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements of 2010 and for the quarter ended March 31st, 2011 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differs in certain aspects from the previous Brazilian accounting standards.
 
For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the IFRS, 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 IFRS on the main line items of the 2009 and 2010 financial statements in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the IFRS is available in note 2 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 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 order to provide a better understanding of the progression of Ipiranga’s recurring results, the table below summarizes Ipiranga’s results for all periods from 2Q09 to 4Q10 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.

Ø
Ultrapar announces its new corporate governance structure – On April 4th, 2011, the Board of Directors of Ultrapar resolved to submit to the extraordinary shareholders' meeting (“Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting”) and to a special preferred shareholder’s meeting (“Preferred Shareholders’ Meeting”) a proposal to (i) convert any and all shares of preferred stock issued by the company into shares of common stock, on a 1-to-1 conversion ratio, (ii) amend the company’s current bylaws (Estatuto Social), modifying several of its provisions, aiming to strengthen the company’s corporate governance, and (iii) adhere to the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA.

The material proposed amendments to the bylaws are (i) mandatory tender offer to 100% of the company's shareholders in the event a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, acquire or become holders of 20% of the company's shares, excluding treasury shares, (ii) minimum of 30% of independent members of the Board of Directors, and (iii) creation of audit and compensation committees, as ancillary bodies of the Board of Directors.

Additionally, there will not be any limitation on voting rights, special treatment to current shareholders, tender offers for a price above that of the acquisition of shares or any other poison pill provisions, thus assuring the effectiveness of a majority shareholders’ approval on all matters to be deliberated.

This resolution aims at bringing Ultrapar’s corporate governance into line with the company’s current stage and profile, and will enable higher investment capacity, growth, attraction and retention of talented professionals, value creation and longevity.

Ø
Stages to implement the new corporate governance structure Following the disclosure of the new corporate governance structure, Ultrapar started discussions with BM&FBOVESPA in order to obtain all necessary authorizations to list its shares on the Novo Mercado segment, including through the submission of the proposed amendments to its bylaws.

Once the listing and Ultrapar's amended bylaws are approved by BM&FBOVESPA, a company's Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting will be called to decide upon (a) the conversion of all shares of preferred stock issued by the company into shares of common stock, on a 1-to-1 conversion ratio, (b) the amendment of the company's bylaws, (c) the adherence of the company to the rules of the Novo Mercado listing segment of BM&FBOVESPA, and (d) the confirmation that the new provisions related to the rights of all company's shareholders in the event of a change in control are equivalent to those in the Ultra S.A. shareholders’ agreement of March 22nd, 2000, which will be terminated should such equivalence be recognized and approved. The effectiveness of the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting resolutions will depend on the ratification by the Preferred Shareholders’ Meeting, to be held on the date of the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting. The preferred shareholders who dissent from the resolutions above will have withdrawal rights considering their shareholdings as of the close of trading on April 4th, 2011. The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting and the Preferred Shareholders’ Meeting are expected to be held within 60 to 90 days as from the date of the announcement of the material notice on April 4th, 2011.

Executive summary of the results
 
During the first quarter of 2011, economic indicators continued to reflect a growth in the level of economic activity, highlighting the 8.5% growth in the retail industry, slowing, on the other hand, the growth pace verified in 2010, mainly as an effect of measures adopted to control inflation, particularly the successive increases in the SELIC interest rate, currently at 12% per annum. The first quarter was also marked by a record inflow of funds to Brazil, notably foreign loans, which led the dollar to end the quarter at R$ 1.63/US$. In the international environment, conflicts in oil-producing regions led to further increases in international oil prices, which ended the quarter at US$ 114/barrel, a 44% increase over the price on March 31st, 2010.
 
In 1Q11, Ultragaz's sales volume grew by 3% compared with 1Q10, mainly as a result of the growth in the bulk segment, on the back of the higher level of economic activity and the investments made to capture new clients. Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 73 million in the quarter, up 2% over 1Q10.
 
At Ipiranga, the continued expansion of the light vehicle fleet and the growth of the Brazilian economy, combined with the investments for the network expansion, resulted in a 7% increase in the fuel sales volume in 1Q11 over 1Q10. Ipiranga’s EBITDA in 1Q11 amounted to R$ 286 million, up 10% over 1Q10, resulting in an EBITDA margin of R$ 58/m3, higher than the R$ 57/m3 EBITDA margin for 1Q10.
 
Oxiteno reported sales volume of 156 thousand tons, a 5% decrease in comparison with the 1Q10 volume, mainly as a result of unplanned stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex. Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 74 million in 1Q11, a strong 96% increase over 1Q10, as a result of the recovery in margins during the last 12 months and the improved sales mix.
 
In 1Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage remained stable in relation to 1Q10, due to a decrease in the handling of ethanol, as a result of a shortage in the supply of this product, and to the stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex, which affected the handling of chemicals at the Aratu terminal, both offset by the growth in other terminals. Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 28 million in 1Q11, down 6% from 1Q10, as a result of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses on July 1st, 2010.
 
Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 467 million in 1Q11, up 23% over 1Q10, due to the EBITDA growth in Ultragaz, Ipiranga, and Oxiteno. Net earnings for 1Q11 reached R$ 194 million, up 58% over 1Q10, mainly as a result of the EBITDA growth.

Ipiranga – Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 4,898 thousand cubic meters in 1Q11, up 7% over 1Q10. In 1Q11, the sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 11%, as a consequence of the estimated 8% growth in the light vehicle fleet and the investments made to expand its network. The diesel volume grew by 4%, on the back of the growth of the Brazilian economy. Compared with 4Q10, sales volume decreased by 8%, as a result of seasonality between periods, with reduction in diesel and ethanol volumes partially offset by a 3% growth in gasoline volumes, which reflects the lower availability and competitiveness of ethanol in 1Q11.

 
Oxiteno – Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 156 thousand tons, down 5% (7 thousand tons) from 1Q10, mainly as a result of unplanned stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex, due to a power outage in the Northeast region in early 2011. In the Brazilian market, sales volume decreased by 7% (9 thousand tons), as a consequence of the unplanned stoppages in the Camaçari petrochemical complex, partially offset by a growth in the cosmetics and detergents segment, which allowed an improved sales mix during this period. Sales volume outside Brazil grew by 3% (1 thousand ton) as a result of increased volumes sold by Oxiteno Mexico and Oxiteno Andina. Compared with 4Q10, sales volume decreased by 8% (14 thousand tons), as a result of seasonality between periods and the stoppages.
 
 
Ultracargo – In 1Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage remained stable in relation to 1Q10 and 4Q10, due to a decrease in the handling of ethanol, as a result of a shortage in the supply of this product, and to the stoppages at the Camaçari petrochemical complex, which affected the handling of chemicals at the Aratu terminal, both offset by the growth in other terminals.

Outlook
 
We continue to benefit from the growth of the Brazilian economy and from the maturing process of the investments made in our businesses. Ultragaz, which in recent years has reported strong growth in its results, will continue to benefit from good market growth outlook in the bulk segment, mainly on the back of the investments to capture new clients. At Ipiranga, in addition to the positive effects of the economic growth, the continued expansion of the light vehicle fleet and the investments made to expand the distribution network, with a focus on the North, Northeast and Midwest regions, will sustain the solid growth of its volume of fuels. At Oxiteno, the process of completing an important investment cycle, which resulted in an increased specialty chemicals production capacity, will allow an improved sales mix. Ultracargo will continue to reap benefits from the growing demand for logistics infrastructure in Brazil and from the investments underway for expansion of the capacity of its terminals.
 
In addition, the new corporate governance structure, which allows a strengthening of the alignment of interests and professional management, reinforces Ultrapar’s investment capacity, allowing the endurance of the company’s growth.

MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT


From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in the presentation of financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements for the year 2010 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differs in certain aspects from the previous Brazilian accounting standards.

For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the IFRS, 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 IFRS on the main line items of the 2009 and 2010 consolidated financial statements  in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes (Annex I). Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the IFRS is available in note 2 of the financial statements of the year ended December 31st, 2010.
