The expected allocation is as follows: R$ 414 million in investment at Oxiteno, R$ 100 million at Ultragaz and R$ 31 million at Ultracargo.

Ultrapar in the Macroeconomic Scenario

The fourth quarter of the year confirmed a scenario of moderate performance by the Brazilian economy in 2006, with an estimated GDP growth of approximately 2.7%, slightly higher than the growth seen in 2005. The government’s initiatives to stimulate demand, through income transfer programs and greater credit availability, have mainly had the effect of increasing retail activity.

In this quarter Ultragaz continued its growth trend, benefiting from its distribution structure review and the improved market conditions, basically as a result of an increase in the purchasing power of the lower-income population. EBITDA at Ultragaz amounted to R$ 58 million in 4Q06 and R$ 281 million in 2006, up 70% and 44%, compared to 4Q05 and 2005, respectively.

Oxiteno achieved a 9% increase in EBITDA in 4Q06, compared to the same period a year earlier, as a result of commercial initiatives and the development of products, which resulted in a higher sales volume, and an improved sales mix, with an increase in the volume of higher aggregate value products. By doing that, the company managed to neutralize the negative effects of soaring ethylene prices in the international market, as well as the appreciation in the Real. EBITDA for 2006 amounted to R$ 192 million, which despite being 36% lower than the EBITDA reported in 2005, followed a recovering trend during the year.

Ultracargo’s initiatives to redesign its customer portfolio in the transport segment, focusing on differentiated services and discontinuing certain transport operations, together with the increase in its storage operations, had a positive effect on EBITDA in 4Q06, amounting to R$ 9 million, up 13% compared to 4Q05. For the year, EBITDA at Ultracargo amounted to R$ 38 million, 14% lower than the EBITDA reported in 2005.

Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA amounted to R$ 115 million in 4Q06, up 33% on 4Q05, continuing its trend of earnings growth, when compared to the previous year. With this result, Ultrapar ended the year with EBITDA of R$ 516 million, net earnings of R$ 282 million, and the distribution of R$ 144 million in dividends.

Operational Performance

Ultragaz – The Brazilian LPG market in 4Q06 expanded by 2% compared to 4Q05, basically reflecting the improvement in incomes among the Brazilian population. In the same period, the volume sold by Ultragaz amounted to 388,000 tons, up 3% on the volume sold in 4Q05, exceeding the market’s expansion rate, basically due to an increase of 4% in the bulk segment, reflecting higher consumption by certain clients. In the bottled segment, volume sold was up by 2%, in line with the expansion in the market as a whole. Compared to 3Q06, Ultragaz’s sales volume was down 5%, basically due to the seasonal drop in volume between the two periods.

In the year, the LPG market amounted to a total volume sold of 6,465,000 tons, up 1% compared to the previous year. The volume sold by Ultragaz in 2006 amounted to 1,544,000 tons, also 1% higher than the volume in 2005.

Sales Volume – Ultragaz (in ‘000 tons)

Oxiteno - Total sales volume at Oxiteno in 4Q06 amounted to 131,000 tons, up 9% on 4Q05, basically as a result of the company’s commercial initiatives, which resulted in gains in market share and higher sales of products with greater added value. In the domestic market volume was up by 2%, with a 12% increase in the volume of specialty chemicals sold, offsetting commodity products sales, resulting in an improved sales mix. The expansion in specialty chemicals sales was spread out across the various sectors served by Oxiteno. In the international markets, sales

volume was 30% higher than in 4Q05, due principally to the growth in sales seen at Canamex and the higher volume of exports to Mercosur. Compared to 3Q06, Oxiteno’s total volume was down by 12%, due to seasonally weaker sales.

For 2006, sales volume amounted to 544,000 tons, 4% higher than the sales volume in 2005, with a 6% increase in the domestic market, and a retraction of 1% in the volume sold to international markets.

Ultracargo – Average storage volumes at Ultracargo in 4Q06, measured in cubic meters, were 8% higher than in 4Q05, basically due to the expansion in operations at the Santos Terminal, inaugurated in July 2005. Storage volumes showed an increase of 2% in comparison to 3Q06, due to expansion in capacity at the Suape terminal, in the state of Pernambuco. In the transport segment, total kilometrage traveled was down 33% and 13%, compared to 4Q05 and 3Q06, respectively, as a result of the decision to discontinue operations that had a lower aggregate value.

In 2006, Ultracargo’s average volume stored, as measured in cubic meters, was up 8% compared to 2005, while average kilometrage traveled was down 19%.

Economic – Financial Performance

Net Sales and Services – Ultrapar’s net consolidated sales and services in 4Q06 amounted to R$ 1,204 million, up 7% on the net sales in 4Q05. For the full year 2006, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 4,794 million, a 2% increase on 2005.

Ultragaz – Net sales and services at Ultragaz amounted to R$ 775 million in 4Q06, 7% higher than the figure in 4Q05, basically due to: (i) the benefits generated by the company’s distribution structure review, (ii) a more favorable market and (iii) the 3% increase in volume sold. Compared to 3Q06 there was a 5% reduction, in line with the seasonal drop in sales volume. For 2006 as a whole, Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 3,067 million, up 6% on 2005, basically due to gains obtained from the distribution structure review, as well as a more favorable market.

Oxiteno – Oxiteno reported net sales and services of R$ 387 million in 4Q06, up 9% on 4Q05, basically due to the 9% increase in volume sold and the improved sales mix, partially offset by the appreciation of 4% in the Real against the US dollar. Compared to 3Q06, net sales and services were down by 11%, due to a drop of 12% in sales volume, mitigated by an improvement in product mix. Net sales and services for 2006 as a whole amounted to R$ 1,550 million, down 4% compared to 2005 - commercial initiatives taken by Oxiteno resulted in an improved sales mix and better average prices in dollars, which partially offset the negative affect of the appreciation in the Real on the company’s net sales.

Ultracargo – Net revenues from services at Ultracargo amounted to R$ 54 million in 4Q06, down 10% and 2% compared to 4Q05 and 3Q06, respectively. Despite an increase in revenues from the increased volume of products handled at the Santos Terminal, there was a reduction in transport operations. Compared to 3Q06, the drop was mitigated by increased operations at the Suape terminal. For 2006, Ultracargo’s net revenues amounted to R$ 226 million, 3% lower than in 2005, for the same reasons outlined above.

Cost of Sales and Services – Ultrapar’s cost of sales and services amounted to R$ 971 million in 4Q06, 3% up on 4Q05, and 6% lower than in 3Q06. In 2006, Ultrapar’s cost of sales and services amounted to R$ 3,860 million, a 2% increase compared to 2005.

Ultragaz – The cost of sales and services at Ultragaz amounted to R$ 653 million in 4Q06, a 2% increase compared to 4Q05, slightly lower than the increase of 3% in volume sold due to operational improvements. Compared to 3Q06, there was a 3% reduction due to the seasonal drop in sales volume, partially offset by certain non-recurring costs. For the year as a whole, the company’s cost of sales and services amounted to R$ 2,573 million, up 2% on 2005.

- 6 -

Oxiteno – Oxiteno’s cost of sales and services in 4Q06 amounted to R$ 296 million, up 8% compared to 4Q05, compatible with the volume sold. The increase in the international ethylene prices was offset by a reduction in the consumption of ethylene in the period, related to an improvement in sales mix, with a higher proportion of specialty chemicals, as well as the 4% appreciation in the Real against the US dollar. Compared to 3Q06, the company’s cost of sales and services was down by 11% as a result of the seasonal drop in sales volume. In 2006, Oxiteno’s cost of sales and services amounted to R$ 1,192 million, 4% higher than the figure in 2005, due to an increase in the cost of raw materials, particularly ethylene, and the increase in sales volume, partially offset by the appreciation of 11% in the Real.

Ultracargo – The cost of services provided by Ultracargo amounted to R$ 33 million in 4Q06, down 19% and 6%, respectively, compared to 4Q05 and 3Q06, due to the reduction in costs in the transport segment, as a result of the lower kilometrage traveled. For the year, the cost of services provided was 7% lower than in 2005, also due to the reduction in transport operations, partly offset by an increase in storage costs due to the higher volume of products handled at the Santos Terminal.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses –Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 163 million in the quarter, an increase of 15% and 6% compared to 4Q05 and 3Q06, respectively. For the year as a whole, sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 605 million, up 10% compared to 2005.

Ultragaz – Sales, general and administrative expenses at Ultragaz totaled R$ 91 million in 4Q06, up 20% compared to 4Q05, basically due to salary increases arising from annual collective wage agreements and higher variable remuneration, in line with the improvement in the company’s results. In addition, the variation on 3Q06 included various expenses related to workforce adjustments as a result of the company’s restructuring program, as well as higher advertising and marketing expenses. In 2006, sales, general and administrative expenses were 12% higher than in 2005, basically due to (i) the salary increases arising from annual collective wage agreements and (ii) an increase in variable remuneration and profit-sharing, in line with the improvement seen in the company’s results.

Oxiteno – Sales, general and administrative expenses at Oxiteno totaled R$ 57 million in 4Q06, up 14% and 3% on 4Q05 and 3Q06, respectively, due to higher staff expenses principally due to collective wage agreements, an increase in expenses at Canamex, and a rise in freight costs. For 2006 as a whole, sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 212 million, 4% higher than in 2005, basically due to (i) the increase in sales volume, (ii) annual collective wage agreements and (iii) increased expenses at Canamex.

Ultracargo – Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 17 million in 4Q06, down 3% compared to 4Q05, and a slight drop of 1% compared to 3Q06, as a result of lower administrative expenses, due to the downsizing in the workforce. For the year as a whole, Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 71 million, 15% higher than in 2005, due to salary increases as a result of a wage agreement, in addition to extraordinary expenses related to the downsizing in the workforce as a consequence of the reduction of operations in the transport segment.

EBITDA – Ultrapar reported consolidated EBITDA of R$ 115 million in 4Q06, a 33% increase compared to 4Q05, and a 27% drop compared to 3Q06. EBITDA for 2006 as a whole amounted to R$ 516 million, 5% down on 2005.

- 7 -

Ultragaz – EBITDA at Ultragaz amounted to R$ 58 million in 4Q06, up 70% compared to 4Q05. For 2006 as a whole, EBITDA at Ultragaz amounted to R$ 281 million, up 44% on 2005. Ultragaz’s performance was a result of the benefits generated by its distribution structure review and a more favorable LPG market.

Oxiteno – Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 46 million in 4Q06, 9% higher than in 4Q05. EBITDA for 2006 amounted to R$ 192 million, down 36% on 2005. During 2006 commercial initiatives were strengthened aiming at offsetting cost increases – a reflection of the rise in international oil prices – and the appreciation in the Real, resulting in (i) higher sales, with a higher added value and (ii) a resumption of year-over-year EBITDA growth in the last quarter of the year.

Ultracargo – Ultracargo’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 9 million, an increase of 13% and 4% respectively compared to 4Q05 and 3Q06, basically as a result of increased operations in the storage segment. EBITDA for the year 2006 as a whole totaled R$ 38 million, down 14% on that reported in 2005.

Financial result – Ultrapar’s financial result amounted to a R$1.4 million expense, practically unchanged on 4Q05. The drop in interest income on financial investments, as a function of the lowering in the interest rate and the reduction in the company’s net cash position, was partially offset by non-recurring revenues of R$ 6 million due to the winning of a lawsuit related to the payment of PIS and COFINS taxes by the company’s subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A. and Ultracargo, explained in further detail below.

Through its subsidiaries, Ultrapar had filed lawsuits questioning the levy of PIS and COFINS taxes on sources of income other than revenues. As occurred in 1H06, the Federal Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ultrapar, resulting in the addition of R$ 6 million to the company’s earnings in 4Q06. Ultrapar has yet other subsidiaries that are also appealing the levying of these taxes, which has yet to be ruled on. Should the court rule in favor of these subsidiaries, Ultrapar estimates that the total effect on the Company’s financial result will be an additional R$ 14 million, net of legal fees

Net earnings – Consolidated net earnings in 4Q06 amounted to R$ 48 million, up 16% on 4Q05 and 46% lower than in 3Q06. For 2006 as a whole, net earnings amounted to R$ 282 million, down 6% on the net earnings in 2005.

Outlook

In 2006 Ultrapar saw a gradual recovery in its earnings, with the implementation of strategic initiatives in its businesses to cope with the scenario imposed on the company from 2005, under which a combination of macroeconomic and sector-related factors combined had a negative effect on the business. Some of these initiatives already resulted in improvements in 2006, but most of the investments made are likely to have an impact on the company’s results from 2007, with the start-up of operations of the new fatty alcohols plant and the expansion of specialty chemicals production capacity, improving Oxiteno’s operational performance. Additionally, in 2007 Oxiteno will be dedicating itself to opening up and consolidating operations at new sales offices in Europe, Argentina, the United States and Asia, focusing its efforts on internationalizing its operations. At Ultragaz, the distribution structure review will continue, which should result in additional gains in EBITDA. At Ultracargo, the strategic repositioning carried out in 2006 should generate benefits and result in growth in the company’s operations over the next few years.
