4. APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY

ASSETS APPROACH – NET EQUITY AT MARKET VALUE

This methodology derives from generally accepted accounting principles (PCGA), where financial statements are prepared based on the principle of historic or acquisition cost.

Due to this principle and to the fundamental principle of accounting, the book value of the assets of a company less the book value of its liabilities equals the book value of its net equity.

The application of the methodology is based on the book values of the assets and liabilities and requires adjustments to some of these items so as to reflect their probable realization values. The result of the application of this method may provide an initial basis to the calculation of the company’s value, as well as a useful basis for comparison with the result of other methodologies.

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

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

The general appraisal criteria applied in the adjustment of assets subject to appraisal at market value are detailed in Chapter 10 of this report.

These adjustments, duly analyzed, are added to the book Net Equity value, thus determining the market value of the company by assessing the assets. The fair market value of the company will be the Net Equity value, considering the adjustments found for the assets and liabilities appraised.

It should be stressed that it was not the purpose of our work to identify and make a valuation of the assets that were not accounted for in the financial statements of the companies; nor the identification and quantification of liabilities not recorded or not disclosed by the Companies’ Management.

In this appraisal, the objective of the scope and methodology adopted was to appraise a going concern; therefore, the expenses incurred with the realization of the assets or enforcement of liabilities, as well as related to the bankruptcy or liquidation of companies were not considered in the calculations.

MAIN STAGES OF THE APPRAISAL

• Reading and analysis of the company’s balance sheets.

• Analysis of the assets and liabilities accounts recorded in the company ’s balance sheet, to identify accounts subject to adjustments, as well as calculation and their probable market value.

• Adjustments of the property, plant and equipment of the companies by their respective market value based on the equity appraisals performed by Apsis.

• Application of the equity method of accounting on the net equity at market value of the subsidiaries and associated companies for calculation of the value of investments.

• Calculation and market value of the companies’ net equity.

5. PROFILING OF THE IPIRANGA GROUP

The Ipiranga Group, one of the largest and most traditional business conglomerates in Brazil, operates in the same segments as Petrobras, Ultrapar and Braskem. It is the second largest distributor of fuels in Brazil, with a network of 4,240 stations. It also has prominent participation in the petrochemical sector, with production of circa 650 thousand tons of petrochemical resins through IPQ, in addition to sharing, with Braskem, control of Copesul – the second largest center of petrochemical raw materials in Brazil. In 2006, the consolidated net revenue of the Ipiranga Group totaled R$ 31 billion, with R$ 1,0 billion of EBITDA and R$ 534 million in net profits. The figure below presents the corporate structure of the group before Stage 1 of the acquisition process:

With its origins in the first half of the XX century, the Companies of the Ipiranga Group develop activities in diverse sectors from the petrochemical industry to the production of tar, including refinery and distribution of fuels. We will present below a description of the companies that belong to the group’s petrochemical segment and their respective distribution assets, object of this report.

PETROCHEMICAL ASSETS

Still within the petrochemical production sector, we can visualize in the corporate structure of the Ipiranga Group four relevant companies: (i) IPIRANGA PETROQUÍMICA S/A (IPQ); and (ii) COMPANHIA PETROQUÍMICA DO SUL (COPESUL) . We will begin with COPESUL, because it is a 1^st generation industry in the petrochemical chain.

THE RAW MATERIALS CENTER - COPESUL

Copesul is a 1^st generation company (also know as raw materials centers), located in Pólo Petroquímico do Sul (Southern Petrochemical Pole), Triunfo, RS, which processes naphtha, mainly, in addition to condensate and LPG to generate the basic products that feed the 2^nd generation industries of the petrochemical chain.

Copesul supplies the basic petrochemicals necessary to the production of innumerable articles present in modern life. Processing raw materials derived from petroleum (naphtha, LPG, condensate), the company produces ethene, propene, butadiene, benzene, solvents and fuels, which in turn will be raw materials for four large production chains:

• Thermoplastic resins chain: produced from ethene and propene by the second generation industries of Pólo Petroquímico do Sul (Ipiranga Petroquímica, Braskem, Petroquímica Triunfo and Innova), they are commercialized with the plastic transformation industries.

• Elastomers chain: also produced by the companies of Pólo do Sul (Petroflex e DSM Elastômeros), they are commercialized with the rubber transformation industries.

• Solvents chain: covers the industry of paints, shoes, furniture, agricultural industry and other sectors which process basic petrochemicals for the production of solvents, adhesives and others.

• Fuels chain: covers fuel distributors and others.

Copesul has an installed capacity to process 3.7 million tons /year of naphtha, with flexibility to use LPG and/or light condensate. Naphtha is a hydrocarbon in liquid form, derived from petroleum, which is quite similar to gasoline. Petrobras/Refinaria Alberto Pasqualini (Refap), of Canoas (RS), is the exclusive supplier of naphtha for Copesul taken by an underground pipeline to the South Petrochemical Pole.

As Refap does not have sufficient production capacity, a part of naphtha arrives in the state by the maritime terminal of Petrobras on the northern coast. Copesul’s tankage park with Petrobras/Tedut, in the municipality of Osório, has capacity for 170 thousand cubic meters and guarantees the maintenance of strategic stocks. The transfer of naphtha to Refap also occurs by an underground pipeline.

With naphtha and condensate gas, Copesul produces 3.2 million annual tons of Aromatics and Olefins, such as ethene, propene, butadiene, toluene and other solvents, gasoline and other fuels (see the produced capacity per product in the chart below) . It also produces and supplies to the other companies of the Pole utilities such as treated water (drinking, demineralized and service water), steam, hydrogen and maintenance services.

The figure below presents a summary of the production capacities per product, whose processes can be better visualized in the specific report RJ-0117/07 -8:

Production Capacity per Product (in thousand tons/year)


Benzene		265
Butadiene		105
Butene 1		40
Aromatic C9		76
Ethylene		1.200
Gasoline		177
LPG		24
MTBE		115
Diesel Oil		--
Low-Sulfur-Content Petrochemical Oil		169
Propane		16
Propene		581
Light Acyclic Solvent		--
Toluene		91
Mixed Xylenes		66

After the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group, COPESUL’s share (29.46%) held by IPQ will be owned by BRASKEM (60%) and PETROBRAS (40%).

IPIRANGA PETROQUÍMICA S/A (IPQ): THE 2^ND GENERATION

Ipiranga Petroquímica (IPQ) is an industry that manufactures thermoplastic resins used in innumerable day-to-day products, such as in the manufacturing of film for packages, flasks, domestic utensils and special pipes. Ipiranga Petroquímica produces more than 700 thousand tons per year of four thermoplastic resins, the high, medium and low linear density polyethylene (PEAD, PEMD e PEBDL), and polypropylene (PP) in five industrial plants, located in Pólo Petroquímico de Triunfo —RS—Brazil.

You will find below a summary of the production capacities of each of the five plants, whose production processes may be better visualized in the specific report RJ-0117/07 -16:



- Industrial Plant 1 – PEAD (high-density polyethylene)
Beginning of operation: 1982
Capacity: 140.000 ton/year
Technology: Hostalen/Basell

- Industrial Plant 2 – PEAD
Beginning of operation: 1990

8. ASSESSMENT OF IQ’s NET EQUITY AT MARKET VALUE

In this report, the assets approach for assessment of IQ’s Net Equity at market value was adopted. In this approach, we valued the relevant assets and liabilities so as to reflect their fair market value, according to the criteria detailed in Chapter 7.

RELEVANT ASSETS

IQ is a company that presents a double function in the structure of the Ipiranga Group: (i) holding of the group’s petrochemical investments; (ii) operating company, acting in the segment of petrochemical products distribution.

To arrive at IQ’s Net Equity at market value, therefore, it will be necessary for us to make valuations of their relevant operating assets, and also of the relevant investments in other companies of the group.

ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The assets that integrate the property, plant and equipment relating to the accounts of land, buildings/facilities and machinery/equipment are of greatest relevance within the group of operating assets of IQ. The valuation of these assets can be found in Assessment Report RJ-0117/07 -17, and is summarized in the table below:



FIXED ASSETS		MARKET VALUE (R$ MILLION)
RELEVANT ACCOUNTS

EQUIPMENTS AND INSTALLATIONS		15.80
BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTIONS		33.43
LAND		9.76

ASSESSMENT OF PETROCHEMICAL INVESTMENTS

For assessment of IQ’s Net Equity at market value, we need to assess, in addition to its property, plant and equipment, Net Equity at market value of the invested companies considered relevant.

We present below the list of companies considered relevant, with the respective specific reports of assessment of the property, plant and equipment:

• IPQ – Assessment Report RJ-0117/07 -16

• COPESUL – Assessment Report RJ-0117/07 -18

The Net Equity at market value of these companies is detailed in Attachment 1.

ASSESSMENT OF OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

For the other assets and liabilities of RPI, the criteria detailed in Chapter 7 were adopted, as shown in the calculations spreadsheets of Attachment 1.

GLOSSARY

ASSETS APPROACH – valuation methodology in which all assets and liabilities (including unregistered ones) have their value adjusted according to their market values.

BETA – measurement of a stock systematic risk, price trend of a certain stock to be related to changes in a certain index.

BUSINESS RISK – uncertainty level for realizing future returns expected for the business, which do not result from financial leverage.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE – breakdown of the capital invested in a company, including own capital (equity) and third-parties capital (indebtedness).

CAPITALIZATION – conversion of a simple period of economic benefits into value.

CAPITALIZATION RATE – any divisor used for converting economic benefits into value in a simple period.

CAPM – Capital Asset Pricing Model - model in which the cost of capital for any stock or group of stocks is equivalent to the risk-free rate added to a risk premium, provided by the systematic risk of the stock or group of stocks under analysis.

CASH FLOW – cash generated by an asset, group of assets or company during a certain period of time. Usually, such term is complemented by a qualification, depending on the context (operating, non-operating, etc)

COMPANY – commercial, industrial, service or investment entity performing an economic entity.

CONSTRUCTION EQUIVALENT AREA – constructed area on which the corresponding construction unit cost equivalence is applied, as provided by the principles of NB-140 of ABNT (Brazilian Association of Technical Rules).

CONTROL – power to direct the company strategic, politic and administrative management.

CONTROLLING PREMIUM – value or percentage of a controlling stocks pro rata value over the non-controlling stocks pro rata value, which reflect the controlling power.

COST OF CAPITAL – expected return rate required by the market for attracting funds for a determined investment.

CURRENT VALUE – It is the value for replacing an existing asset for a new one, depreciated according its physical conditions.

DISCOUNT FOR LACK OF CONTROL – value or percentage deducted from the 100%-pro rata value of a company value, which reflects the lack of part or whole control.

DISCOUNT FOR LACK OF LIQUIDITY – value or percentage deducted from the 100% pro rata value of a company value, which reflects the lack of liquidity.

DISCOUNT RATE – any divisor used for converting a future economic benefit flow into present value.

EBITDA - Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.

ECONOMIC BENEFIT – benefits such as revenues, net income, net cash flow, etc.

ELECTRIC DAMAGE VALUE – It is an estimation of the cost for repairing or replacing the parts of an asset in case of electric damage. Values are scheduled in percentages of the Replacing

Value and were calculated through equipment’s manual analysis and the repairing maintenance expertise of APSIS’ technicians.

FAIR MARKET VALUE – value for which a certain asset change its ownership between a potential seller and a potential buyer, when both parties are aware of relevant facts and none of them are under pressure to make the deal.

GOODWILL – intangible asset referring to name, reputation, client portfolio, loyalty, localization and other similar items that cannot be identified separately.

HOMOGENIZED AREA – usable, private or constructed area with mathematical treatments for valuation purposes, according to criteria set forth by APSIS, based on the real state market.

INCOME APPROACH – valuation methodology by converting to present value expected economic benefits.

INSURANCE MAXIMUM VALUE – It is the maximum value of an asset for which it is advisable to insure it. Such criterion establishes that the asset which depreciation is higher than 50%¨should have a Insurance Maximum Value equivalent to twice the Current Value; and, an asset which depreciation is lower than 50%, should have a Insurance Maximum Value equivalent to the Replacing Value.

INSURANCE VALUE – It is the value for which the Insurance Company assumes the risks, and it is not applied on land and foundations, expect in special cases.

INVESTED CAPITAL – sum of own capital and third-parties capital invested in a company. Third-parties capital is usually related to debts with short and long term interests to be specified in the valuation context.

INVESTED CAPITAL CASH FLOW – cash flow generated by the company to be reverted to financers (interests and amortizations) and shareholders (dividends) after operating costs and expenses and capital expenditures.

INVESTMENT VALUE – value for a particular investor, based on particular interests for a certain asset such as synergy with other companies of a investor, different perceptions of risk and future performances, etc.

ISSUE DATE – date on which the valuation report is ended, when valuation conclusions are presented to the client.

LEVERAGED BETA – beta value reflecting the indebtedness in the capital structure.

LIQUIDATION VALUE – It is the value of a sale on sale in the market, out of its original productive process. In other words, it is the value that would be verified in case the asset was deactivated and put up for sale separately, considering costs of disassembly or demolition (in case of real estate), storage and transportation.

LIQUIDITY – capacity to rapidly convert a certain asset into cash or into a debt payment.

MARKET APPROACH – valuation methodology, which utilizes multiples that result from the sale price of similar assets.

MARKET NET EQUITY – see assets approach.

MULTIPLE – market value of a company, stock or invested capital, divided by a company’s measurement (revenues, income, client volume, etc.).

NON-OPERATING ASSETS – assets that are not directly related to the company operating activity (whether they generate revenue or not) and that may be sold without affecting its operation.

OPERATING ASSETS – assets that are necessary for the company operation.
