MANAGEMENT REPORT 2010
Dear Shareholders,
The Management of ULTRAPAR PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (Ultrapar) hereby presents the Management Report and Financial Statements for the fiscal year 2010. This information is accompanied by an independent auditor’s report with an unqualified opinion (clean opinion), which was discussed and reviewed by the Management.
COMPANY PROFILE
Ultrapar is a Brazilian business group with more than 70 years of history, with leading position in the markets in which it operates: fuel distribution through Ultragaz and Ipiranga, specialty chemicals through Oxiteno and storage for liquid bulk through Ultracargo.
With 8.9 thousand employees by the end of 2010, Ultrapar has activities in the entire Brazilian territory and, through Oxiteno, operates in Mexico and Venezuela and has business offices in Argentina, Belgium and the United States.
Over the last years, as a result of the consistent strategic planning and execution, Ultrapar made a series of acquisitions and investments that led the company to achieve a new level of financial and operational scale. The excellence in management and the focus on value creation, combined with its strong fundamentals and the resilient nature of its businesses, enabled Ultrapar to attain record levels of EBITDA and net earnings in 2010, with growth rates of 24% and 74%, respectively, over the previous year, reaching 18 consecutive quarters of EBITDA growth and presenting one of the highest appreciations in the year among the companies part of Ibovespa index. With these results obtained in 2010, we accumulated over the last 10 years an average annual growth of 19% in EBITDA and 20% in net earnings.
Ultrapar has been listed at the BM&FBOVESPA – São Paulo Securities, Commodities and Future Exchange and at the NYSE – New York Stock Exchange since 1999. In 2010, Ultrapar was ranked the first among the 50 companies with the highest growth rate in the energy segment in the world, a ranking prepared by Platts, consulting firm specialized in the sector.
ECONOMIC AND OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
The year 2010 was marked by the strong growth of the Brazilian economy, with highlights to the low unemployment rates, expansion in income and total wages and higher credit availability, which reached in December a record level of 47% of the GDP. The gross domestic product grew by 8% as of September year-to-date, according to the latest published data, driven by the good performance of the retail, automotive and civil construction sectors. In 2010, the automotive industry reached a new sales record, with an 11% increase in the number of light vehicles licensed. In the financial market, the effects of the strong economic growth in Brazil, together with the public offering of Petrobras in the third quarter, resulted in a record of foreign investments inflow of US$ 48 billion to Brazil during 2010, contributing to a 12% appreciation of the Real against the US dollar, which ended the year at R$ 1.67/US$. In the international environment, the slower recovery in the economy of certain countries, particularly developed countries, led to a relative stability in oil prices during the first nine months of 2010. From the 4Q10 onwards, the higher demand, as a result of more severe winter in the northern hemisphere and the progression in the global economic growth resulted in soaring oil prices, which accumulated an 18% growth during the period and ended the year quoted at US$ 92/barrel, up 23% from 2009.

ULTRAPAR IN 2010
Highlights of the year
The larger scale of operations, derived from investments made in the last years, the prudence in financial management and results- and value creation oriented culture enabled Ultrapar to achieve record levels of results in 2010, enhanced by the strong growth presented by the Brazilian economy.
Ipiranga, which completed the acquisition of Texaco in 2009, consolidated in 2010 the capture of expected benefits in its results in a period shorter than that initially estimated. The integration of Texaco enabled the acceleration of its expansion strategy through converting unbranded stations to Ipiranga’s brand and opening of new gas stations, as well as through the acquisition of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”), the fourth largest fuel distributor in the north region of Brazil. Additionally, as part of its differentiation strategy, Ipiranga also added 188 new units to its am/pm and Jet Oil franchise network in 2010, and opened 18 bakeries in its convenience stores.
At Oxiteno, the capacity expansions made in recent years were focused in segments with growth rates higher than that presented by the economy, making the strong expansion in the volume sold and better sales mix possible, with an increased share of specialty chemicals. Furthermore, the relative stability in raw materials prices, especially ethylene, contributed to Oxiteno’s margin recovery process, resulting in a significant growth in its 2010 result, even with the stronger Real.
Ultracargo completed the sale of its road transportation, solid bulk storage and in-house logistics businesses, concentrating on its liquid bulk storage business, segment in which it holds a leading position with outstanding differentials. Focusing on the storage activities, Ultracargo accelerated the pace of expansion of its terminals and consequent profitability growth. The three main terminals of Ultracargo – Aratu, Santos and Suape – currently have investment projects in different phases of execution that will result in an expansion equivalent to 15% of the company's existing capacity.
Ultragaz continued to benefit from the operational efficiency programs implemented in the past years, with a focus on strengthening the relationship and enhancing the quality of resellers. In parallel, the greater dynamism of the economy positively reflected in the sales of bulk LPG, segment in which Ultragaz is a renowned leader, and to which the larger part of its investments was directed this year.
As a result of the positive progression in all businesses, Ultrapar presented record levels of revenue, EBITDA and net earnings in 2010. The net revenue of Ultrapar was R$ 42 billion in 2010, an 18% increase over 2009. Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA reached R$ 1,776 million in 2010, a growth of 24% over 2009. Net earnings amounted to R$ 765 million in the year, 74% higher than the previous year’s. The 2010 net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.2 - lower than the 1.5 ratio of the end of 2009 - reflecting the increase in earnings and cash generation.
The progression of our results and financial position in recent years prove our good track record in all the moments of the economic cycles. In 2009, a year marked by the effects of the world economic crisis, the resilient nature of our businesses and the investments made allowed us to continue our growth trajectory even facing a more challenging context. In 2010, in a completely different environment, with a greater dynamism of the economy, our businesses also grew leveraged on the GDP growth, as it can be seen in the higher sales of diesel, LPG for the bulk segment, specialty chemicals in the domestic market and in the liquid bulk storage.

Investments
The more dynamic economic environment in 2010 reflected in attractive opportunities for all Ultrapar’s businesses. The organic investments were made focusing on the growth through scale, technological differentiation, modernization of existing facilities and productivity gains. The year 2010 was also marked by the capture of synergies from the acquisition of Texaco and by the initial benefits derived from the expansions at Oxiteno.
Ultrapar’s investments decision follows a strict policy under which all the investments are evaluated with the use of managerial tools, notably the EVA® (Economic Value Added), metric also used to set the variable compensation of executives. Besides the deep analysis and criteria in the conception, the careful implementation by Ultrapar of the approved investments is key to ensure value creation.
Ultrapar’s investments in 2010, net of disposals, totaled R$ 815 million, of which R$ 848 million were related to organic investments and R$ 33 million were related to the sale of the road transportation, solid bulk storage and in-house logistics businesses, partially offset by the initial disbursement for the acquisition of DNP.
Regarding organic investments, Ipiranga invested R$ 383 million in 2010, mainly in the conversion of unbranded service stations, new service stations, and renewal and improvement of the distribution network, in order to strengthen its strategic positioning and to increase its operating scale. Of the total amounted invested, R$ 376 million were related to additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and R$ 7 million were related to financing to clients, net of repayments.
Oxiteno invested in 2010 R$ 227 million, mainly in the expansion of the ethylene oxide unit in Camaçari, which will be completed in 2011, and in the conclusion of the expansion of the ethoxylation production capacity at the Camaçari plant, which started operating in late 2010, increasing Oxiteno’s ethoxylates capacity by 70 thousand tons per year.
Ultracargo invested R$ 62 million in 2010, mainly to expand the Suape terminal, which will add 30 thousand cubic meters to Ultracargo’s capacity and is expected to start up in 2Q11, and the modernization of its terminals.
At Ultragaz, R$ 157 million were invested in 2010, mainly in new clients in the bulk segment, which is linked to the economic performance, and in the renewal of LPG bottles.
In 2010, Ultracargo completed the sale of its road transportation, solid bulk storage and in-house logistics businesses, with a net receipt of R$ 80 million, concentrating on its liquid bulk storage business. Ipiranga completed in November 2010 the acquisition of DNP, the fourth largest fuel distributor in the North region of Brazil, thus reinforcing its strategy of expansion to the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil, where the consumption growth rate has been above the national average and the market share of Ipiranga is lower than that in the South and Southeast regions. An amount of R$ 47 million was paid in November 2010 in connection with the acquisition of DNP. The remaining portion will be paid after the completion of the calculation of the working capital and indebtedness existing on the closing date, completion expected to occur in 1Q11.
Ultrapar’s 2011 investment plan, excluding acquisitions, amounts to R$ 1,044 million and aims at growth through increased scale, technological differentiation and productivity gains, as well as modernizing existing operations. The increase in investments over 2010 reflects the opportunities arising from the continued dynamism of the Brazilian economy and the implementation of strategic initiatives specific to each business unit.

At Ipiranga, investments will be directed to the expansion and renewal of its service stations, franchise network and facilities, focusing the expansion in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil. Out of Ipiranga’s total investment budget, R$ 520 million refer to additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and R$ 29 million refer to financing to clients, net of repayments. At Oxiteno, the significant reduction in investments reflects the conclusion of an expansion cycle, with R$ 87 million directed to expansion projects, mainly the conclusion of the ethylene oxide plant in Camaçari, adding 90 thousand tons/year to the current capacity. Ultracargo’s investments will be directed to expansions in Santos, Suape and Aratu terminals, adding 98 thousand m³ to Ultracargo’s storage capacity, an addition equivalent to 15% of its current capacity, with start-ups scheduled for 2011 and 2012. At Ultragaz, investments will be mainly dedicated to

the expansion of UltraSystem (small bulk), as a result of the higher level of economic activity and the prospects for capturing new clients, to the expansion and modernization of bottling facilities and to the replacement of LPG bottles and tanks.
Capital markets
Ultrapar ended 2010 with a market value of R$ 14 billion, 31% higher than that of 2009. The greater dynamism of the economy, the benefits from the investments made and the growth and value creation potential of its businesses resulted in a 31% appreciation of Ultrapar’s shares in 2010, one of the five highest stock appreciations among the companies that are part of the Ibovespa index in the year. In the same period, Ibovespa presented a 1% appreciation. At the NYSE, the shares of Ultrapar presented a 38% appreciation, while the Dow Jones index appreciated by 11% in the period.
In 2010, Ultrapar declared dividends in the amount of R$ 429 million, related to the fiscal year of 2010, 54% higher than that in 2009, representing a 56% payout over the consolidated net earnings of the year and a dividend yield of 4% over the average share price in 2010. Ultrapar constantly evaluates its capital needs for investments and acquisitions and, being assured the maintenance of a solid financial position, distributes the proceeds to its shareholders in the form of dividends. Since its IPO in 1999, Ultrapar consistently distributed dividends to its shareholders, both in periods of adverse economic environment as 2008 and 2009 and in periods of large investments, as 2007 and 2008, years marked by the acquisitions of Ipiranga and Texaco.
Ultrapar’s shares ended the decade with an average appreciation of 21% per year in the period, reflecting its strategy of sustained growth and value creation. Considering the reinvestment of dividends distributed in the period, the yearly average shareholder return in the decade would have been of 29% per year. In the same period, Ibovespa, the main liquidity index of BM&FBOVESPA, presented an average return of 16% per year.
In 2010, the average daily trading volume of BM&FBOVESPA was R$ 6.5 billion/day, 23% higher than that in 2009. The average daily trading volume of Ultrapar shares at BM&FBOVESPA and NYSE was R$ 33 million, 22% higher than that in 2009.
In 2010, Ultrapar took advantage of the more favorable market environment to reduce its indebtedness and extend its debt profile, taking the average cost of its consolidated debt to levels lower than market references by the end of the year.
Following its philosophy of assuring the transparency, the reach and the symmetry of information disclosure, more than 300 meetings with representatives of the capital markets and interested public were held in 2010 in proper forums, besides keeping information of interest updated in its Investor Relations’ website, contributing to the proper pricing of its shares and to the feasibility of the capital markets as means of financing the company’s growth.

Corporate governance
In 2010, Ultrapar was selected once more to be part of the Corporate Sustainable Index (ISE) of BM&FBOVESPA, index that reflects the return of a portfolio comprised of shares from companies with renowned practices of corporate sustainability, selected through an assessment that includes aspects such as corporate governance, economic- financial performance, and social and environmental responsibility. The inclusion of Ultrapar in the ISE also reflects its pioneering and constant evolution in the adoption of the best practices of corporate governance, a company’s essential value.
The importance of the topic for Ultrapar harks back to almost 30 years ago, when the stock ownership plan was implemented, turning key executives into relevant shareholders of the company, aiming to align long-term interests and to retain executives.
In 2000, already as a listed company, Ultrapar pioneered in granting tag along rights to all its shareholders, at 100% of the offered value. Only in 2001 the Brazilian Corporate Law established the mandatory adoption of tag along rights, although limited to voting shareholders and to 80% of the offered value.
Following the interest alignment principles, in addition to the stock ownership plan, Ultrapar adopted a variable compensation plan linked to economic value added (EVA®) growth targets, reinforcing the interest alignment among managers and shareholders and the implementation of investment projects that create value to the company.
Since 2004, Ultrapar adopts a Code of Ethics which is a reference to the professional conduct of employees and internal and external relationship with stakeholders, reducing the subjectivity of interpretations about ethical principles and assuring that the daily concerns with efficiency, competitiveness and profitability include the ethical behavior. This code was enhanced in 2009, with the inclusion of acceptable and unacceptable behavior and an additional channel to report behavior that may not be in accordance with the code.
Ultrapar has a Board of Directors comprised of eight members, five of which are independent and, among them, two were elected by minority shareholders. In 2010, the Board of Directors held 13 meetings. Since 2007, the roles of chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of Director have been separated. Paulo Cunha, who held both positions, became exclusively the chairman of the Board of Directors. Pedro Wongtschowski took over as chief executive officer, a position he still holds.
Ultrapar has a permanent Fiscal Council that also works as an audit committee pursuant to the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Fiscal Council is a body independent from our management comprised of five members, two of them representing minority shareholders. In 2010, the Fiscal Council held 10 meetings.
The executive board of Ultrapar is comprised of the chief executive officer, executive officers of Ipiranga, Oxiteno, Ultracargo and Ultragaz and the chief financial and investor relations officer, officers that perform the integrated management of the businesses following the guidelines of the Board of Directors.
Ultrapar has level III ADRs listed in the NYSE and complies with the highest corporate governance standards of foreign companies listed in the United States. The company is also compliant with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which regulates mechanisms that guarantee the transparency of companies listed in the United States and the responsibility of managers towards the information provided. Since 2007, Ultrapar has had the SOX certification under section 404, attesting to the efficiency of its internal controls over the company’s financial information. Ultrapar developed and implemented in 2009 a distinguished risk matrix to monitor its internal controls, initiative that was awarded by the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC).
In advance to the requirements of CVM for the convergence of the accounting standards to the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS for the fiscal year 2010, Ultrapar started to report its financial statements according to the new accounting practices in the third quarter of 2010, aiming to provide the shareholders and investors with a longer period to understand their effects over its financial statements and allow for a gradual transition of accounting standards.
The continuous improvement in corporative governance practices adopted by Ultrapar allowed the company to receive important acknowledgements. In 2010, Ultrapar was chosen one of the five best companies in Brazil in “Corporate Governance” and in “Performance of Investor Relations by a CEO or CFO” to André Covre, according to the IR Magazine.
Besides internal initiatives related to good corporate governance practices, Ultrapar also actively contributed to the development of the capital market in Brazil through its participation in the Latin American Governance Roundtable Companies Circle, of which it is a founding member. Such entity is sponsored by the Organization for the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and aims at promoting corporate governance in Latin America. Between 2008 and 2010, André Covre, chief financial and investor relations officer, was the chairman of this group.

Social and environmental performance and operational excellence
Among Ultrapar’s initiatives regarding safety and the environment in 2010, the implementation of the Air Emission Monitoring and Reduction Program by its businesses stands out, a program that deepens initiatives to minimize the volume of gas emissions. As part of this work, Ultrapar’s businesses completed emission inventories of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), focusing on the identification and quantification of the main sources of GHG emission to a more efficient action in its reduction.
Ipiranga, which has been monitoring the GHG emissions for three years, prepared in 2010 its emission inventory at nearly 70 operational and administrative units of the company. Oxiteno’s inventory, started in 2008, enabled the company to identify several opportunities to reduce GHG emissions, of which 15 gases were selected and will be prioritized in specific action plans, mainly through Six Sigma projects. Additionally, Oxiteno has been evaluating alternatives that should bring higher financial return through the possibility of converting the reduction of GHG emissions in carbon credits. Ultracargo and Ultragaz also adopted in 2010 programs related to the reduction of polluting gases emission such as the program to reduce CO2 emissions in all Ultragaz’s fleet.
In parallel, Ultrapar keeps a range of initiatives in its businesses aiming not only to comply with the increasing environmental requirements in its operating segments but also to strengthen its pioneering and innovative approach, which distinguish the company.
Ipiranga has adopted for almost 10 years its own environmental management system through SIGA, which considers the highest international standards in its practices. In addition to initiatives focused on management, training and investments in preventive technology, since 2009 SIGA has had its scope amplified, starting to include matters such as safety, health, quality and social responsibility, with the objective of adjusting the operations of its terminals to a broaden vision of sustainability. Evolving to the SIGA+ concept (Ipiranga’s management system applied to health, safety, environment, quality and social responsibility), the program involved, in 2010, the performance of audits to verify the results of the actions expected in its implementation and to identify improvement opportunities.
As part of its Energetic Efficiency Program, which intends to reduce the energy consumption in its service stations, Ipiranga launched in 2009 the first eco-efficient station in the country, called Caminho Verde, built in Porto Alegre. Operating as a pilot project, it was awarded the National Award of Conservation and Rational Use of Energy in 2009. This project foresees the multiplication of a series of actions to adapt the service stations, with focus on water, energy, materials and waste management, aiming to reduce impacts and costs. In 2010, the Energetic Efficiency Program was implemented at nearly 1,600 stations, resulting in a reduction of 1 million kWh/month in energy consumption. The energy consumption reduction resulted in avoided emissions equivalent to nearly 140 trees monthly planted, considering the carbon stock during the first twenty years of the plant.
At Oxiteno, the strategy of intensifying its presence in the segment of green chemicals, initiated in 2008 with the start-up of the oleochemicals unit, the only in Latin America that produces fatty alcohols from palm-kernel oil, resulted in new business opportunities. Aiming to strengthen its regional leadership, in 2010 Oxiteno joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, an organization that works to regulate the sustainable plantation of palm, as the company is currently an important buyer of palm kernel oil in the world. Oxiteno, that had only 9% of its raw materials from renewable origins in 2006, ended 2010 with a share of 20%.
Other important initiatives in Oxiteno were the development of new solvents to clients of the coatings segment and new applications in the segment of soaps from co-products of the oleochemicals unit, initiatives that resulted in additional sources of revenues and in reduction of effluents.
Ultracargo has the safety and care for the environment as key elements for its differentiated positioning. The Ultracargo unit in Paulínia (São Paulo) has the ISO 14001:2004 certification and was re-certificated in 2009. In 2007, the Aratu unit obtained the ISO 14001:2004 certification and was re-certified in 2009. The Santos terminal was designed with the maximum safety standards and obtained the ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 certificates in 2009.
At Ultragaz, the standardization of quality, operational safety, health and care for the environment is established through the Fator Azul (Blue Factor), which sets the environmental, quality and safety guidelines to all the units of company.
Relationship with stakeholders
Ultrapar’s long trajectory of growth has been based on the strong commitment built with the stakeholders of the company, through principles of ethics, respect, trust, and sharing of values.
Based on these assumptions, Ultrapar seeks to keep a sustainable relationship network with its stakeholders, with continuous improvement of the best practices of social and environmental responsibility, in addition to adopting policies directed to the development and recognition of its employees, aiming to create value for all the value chain.

Ultrapar continuously invests in its professionals, with the objective of developing leaders for the company and the society. Ethics, transparency and respect for people have been the main values of Ultrapar’s relationship with its employees since the beginning of its activities, more than 70 years ago. By the end of 2010, Ultrapar had 8.9 employees, 400 of them headquartered outside of Brazil.
Ultrapar adopts a personnel management policy based on the valorization and development of employees, seeking to provide them with professional development and growth opportunities, recognition of the technical skills and commitment to the organizational values, in order to achieve the best results. This philosophy can be proved by many professionals that started their careers in the internship or trainee programs maintained by Ultrapar that currently are part of the company’s executive board and its group of managers. The good track record in recruiting people made these processes one of the most important sources of renovation and qualification of Ultrapar’s staff. Training and stimulating employees in order to make them achieve their targets and dreams are Ultrapar’s daily goals.
Ipiranga yearly sponsors the General Training Program (PGT), which promoted the training of 58% of its staff in 2010. The PGT offers in-company training and enables the continuous learning, the adjustment of professionals to the company’s strategy and, consequently, the generation of results.
In 2010, Oxiteno started the implementation of a new approach of personnel management, consolidating actions, programs and processes of management of international units with the Brazilian unit, aiming to create a stronger convergence and identity of performance in personnel management, preserving certain adjustments to local cultures. Oxiteno also has partnerships with renowned universities and institutions in its area, offering its staff continuous technical training, a rich exchange of information about trends in specialty chemicals, keeping the constant innovation as part of its culture.
Ultracargo developed in 2010 the Leadership Training Program, promoting the training of employees in leading positions with new concepts of personnel management, team motivation and work environment harmonization, strengthening its managers to face the challenges of its strategic repositioning with focus on the liquid bulk storage business.
Regarding the development of its staff, Ultragaz maintains the Ultragaz Academy, which offers training programs in the areas of business management, planning, marketing and client service, being supported by partnerships with renowned educational institutions such as Fundação Getúlio Vargas, Universidade de São Paulo and Fundação Dom Cabral. Training programs are also offered to the company’s resellers.
The passion for the client heads Ultrapar’s search for continuously improving its products and services to the specific needs of its clients. This philosophy, responsible for the solid partnership with its clients throughout decades, is based on the proximity to customers, constant innovation and excellence in the quality of products and services provided.
At Ipiranga, the strategy of innovation and differentiated service and convenience is evidenced by the constant launch of specific products and services for each segment of activity. Among the initiatives in 2010, the opening of bakeries at am/pm stores proved to be a significant sales booster, reaching 30% of the revenues in some stores. Private label products, which started to be sold at am/pm stores in 2010, provide resellers with the benefit of an additional source of income, and also strengthen the am/pm brand. Other recent very successful initiatives were Km de Vantagens, a pioneer loyalty program in the fuel industry that grants rewards and benefits to customers and resellers, currently with over five million participants, and Jet Oil Motos, the first specialized lubricant oil changing and service network to serve an increasing motorcycle fleet that nearly doubled in five years. These strategic differentiation initiatives implemented by Ipiranga result in a better value proposition for customers and resellers, generating benefits for the whole chain – the consumer gets access to differentiated products, the reseller earns higher revenues, and the service station obtains a differentiated positioning, thus contributing for an increase in the company’s income.
For Oxiteno, innovation is one of the essential guidelines to allow it to reach its strategy of maximizing sales of specialty chemicals and added value to its products. Over the last three years, Oxiteno developed more than 40 new products and deployed significant resources to research and development of products and processes. For example, sec-butyl acetate, a new solvent launched in late 2009, has been successfully introduced into the coatings industry and, at the same time, positioned Oxiteno as the only producer in the continent. Oxiteno is also working on other fronts to incorporate new technologies and vegetal raw materials into its process, in order to increase its offer of renewable products, such as fatty alcohols and solvents derived from sugarcane.
At Ultragaz, behind the apparent stability in the LPG market, there is a very dynamic retail market where consumers’ habits change constantly, thus creating opportunities for the company. In order to follow market developments and differentiate from competitors, in light of this new scenario, Ultragaz has developed and enlarged new sales channels and payment methods. In the last years, the company has expanded Disk Gás (sale of LPG bottles by telephone) and online ordering share, and has introduced bottle ordering by mobile phone messages. These initiatives provide customers with greater convenience, add further value and generate logistic optimization to Ultragaz. The same principles are extended to the bulk segment, in which Ultragaz is a pioneer and has a leading position, and where it has been developing new applications to its products, such as localized heating to start up the operation of industrial furnaces, mainly in iron and steel industries.

Ultrapar’s relationship with its suppliers and its network of resellers is based on shared values and principles covering ethics, sustainability, business vision, quality and safety. Ultrapar’s suppliers are subject to strict requirements related to the quality standards of their processes, products and services, including compliance with social and environmental requirements in the supply chain.
In order to strengthen the relationship with its network of resellers and brand loyalty, Ipiranga develops several incentive programs. Through the Clube do Milhão (Million Club) incentive program, the company annually rewards with international trips the most accomplished resellers in terms of the year’s pre-established targets. Ipiranga also establishes incentive programs for service stations’ employees, such as Clube VIP (VIP Club), with the purpose of valuing these employees and encouraging sales of products with higher added value. Following this strategy, the company has offered, since 2006, Treinamento VIP (VIP Training) to set a service standard for the Ipiranga network, to advertise the incentive programs, and to provide guidance to service stations’ employees on ongoing promotions, travelling Brazil in itinerant qualification units (school-like buses) adapted to work as classrooms. In addition to these initiatives, Ipiranga has maintained for ten years the Programa Gestão da Revenda (Management Program for Resellers), which offers training in business and financial management, marketing, legislation and the environment for resellers. In line with the PGR, Ipiranga also keeps Programa Gestão de Negócios de Varejo (Retail Business Management Program), which offers training specifically developed for am/pm and Jet Oil franchises in order to increase the specialization of its resellers.
Ultragaz also maintains Programa de Qualificação de Revendas (Reseller Qualification Program), which aims at standardizing Ultragaz’s resellers’ good management practices, which includes brand standardization, management quality, and strict compliance with the laws applicable to the industry. Through an assessment process, resellers are classified into categories (blue diamond, diamond, golden and opportunity), allowing the participants to check their performance compared to Ultragaz’s excellence standards and encouraging constant improvement. In 2010, over three thousand resellers participated in the program – a significant increase against 2008, year of inception of the program, when 700 resellers were evaluated. Out of the resellers that participated in the program in 2010, 228 qualified as blue diamond, a 109% increase over 2009, indicating an improvement in the quality of the resellers network last year.
The training of resellers’ employees is an essential part of the relationship with the end customer. In 2010, Ultragaz strengthened its Ultragaz Especialista (Ultragaz Specialist) advertising campaign, as a reference to its long experience in and knowledge of LPG distribution. This year’s campaign was accompanied by a reseller training process to enhance technical skills and improve customer service. Still in 2010, Ultragaz continued Formação em Gestão de Revendas (Reseller Management Education) program, developed by Academia Ultragaz together with the Parceria Consultores consulting firm, which applies business management concepts to the LPG market.

Ultrapar focuses its social work on programs based on promotion and dissemination of education, culture and professionalization. With its great diversity of programs and projects for this purpose, Ultrapar seeks to support initiatives that promote social inclusion and development, and benefit the communities with which it interacts.
Through the Ultra Formare project, Ultrapar offers free professional training to low-income young students, to the beginning of their working life.

Approximately 100 Ultrapar’s employees voluntarily participate as teachers and mentors in the project, which graduated its ninth class in 2010. During the program, students are provided with several benefits so
10

that they may devote themselves exclusively to study. They receive certificates accredited by the Ministry of Education upon completion.
In addition to Ultrapar’s initiatives, each business has its own social programs. In 2010, Ipiranga held the third edition of its Saúde na Estrada (Health on the Road) roadshow, aimed at promoting the health and well-being of professional drivers and released in 85 service stations spread across the main Brazilian highways. The initiative includes performing free medical exams, blood pressure measurement, blood glucose and blood type tests, besides providing information on sexually transmitted diseases. Over 120 thousand exams were performed since the implementation of the campaign. In 2010 alone, 32 thousand people received medical care.
Ipiranga also built partnerships with renowned education-oriented institutions, as in the case of the partnership with Alfabetização Solidária, which has been engaged in reducing illiteracy levels in Brazil since 1997. Another type of partnership is the support provided by Ipiranga to Instituto Superior de Educação – Pró-Saber, a community college that develops and disseminates alternative solutions to educational problems in Brazil.
Oxiteno, together with the member companies of APOLO (Industrial Association of ABC Region Petrochemical Complex), offers underprivileged communities surrounding the petrochemical complex several social and health services, including, for example, dental and medical exams.

This program, launched in 2000, traveled to 37 cities in 2010, totaling approximately 370 exhibitions.
Relationship with Independent Auditors
Ultrapar and its subsidiaries’ policies on contracting services from its independent auditors aims to ensure that there is no conflict of interest, loss of independence or objectivity, being based on principles that preserve the auditor’s independence.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2010
Considerations on the financial 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-listed companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010 and its quarters 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 quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010 and years ended December 31st, 2009 and 2010 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 of the financial statements of the year ended December 31st, 2010.
The financial information of Ipiranga, Oxiteno, Ultracargo and Ultragaz 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 August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The results of Texaco were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements from April 1st, 2009, after the financial settlement of the transaction, which occurred on March 31st, 2009. Ultrapar's financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.
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 the initial disbursement of R$ 47 million settled in November 2010. 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.

Sales Volume
At Ipiranga, sales volumes grew by 17%, totaling 20,150 thousand cubic meters. The sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 16%, as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from April 1st, 2009 onwards, and of the increase in the light vehicle fleet during the last 12 months, notably the 27% growth in gasoline volume. Diesel volumes grew by 19%, due to the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from April 1st, 2009 and the economic growth. At Oxiteno, sales volume totaled 684 thousand tons in 2010, up 8% over 2009, with highlight to the growth of 11% of specialty chemicals volume sold in Brazil, on the back of the increased economic activity and the expansions in the production capacity. At Ultracargo, effective storage increased by 20%, as a result of the consolidation of the terminal acquired in Suape in December 2009 and of the higher utilization level in the Santos and Aratu terminals, partially offset by a reduction in ethanol handling. In 2010, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 1,608 thousand tons, a 1% increase over 2009, with volumes practically stable in the bottled segment and a 4% growth in the bulk segment, due to the increased economic activity and the recovery in the industrial activity.
13

Net Sales and Services
Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 42,482 million in 2010, up 18% from 2009, as a result of the increased volume of operations in all businesses and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards, partially offset by the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses of Ultracargo. Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 36,483 million in 2010, up 20% over 2009, as a result of a higher sales volume, an increase in the share of gasoline in the product mix, and the increased ethanol costs due to the lower availability of the product, partially offset by the decrease in the diesel ex-refinery cost in June 2009. Oxiteno reported R$ 2,083 million in net sales and services, up 9% from 2009, despite the 12% stronger Real, as a result of the 8% volume growth and the recovery in the average dollar prices. Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 293 million, down 13% from 2009, due to the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses, partially offset by the growth in average storage in its liquid bulk terminals. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 3,661 million in 2010, up 6% over 2009, as a result of a higher sales volume, an increase in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 onwards and the commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented.
Cost of Products and Services
Ultrapar’s cost of products and services amounted to R$ 39,323 million in 2010, up 18% over 2009, as a consequence of the increased volume of operations in all businesses and the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards, partially offset by the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses of Ultracargo.

Oxiteno’s cost of products sole totaled R$ 1,655 million, up 4% over 2009, as a result of an 8% growth in sales volumes, a higher unit variable cost in dollars of raw materials, and extraordinary costs resulting from the maintenance stoppage of the Camaçari plant, effects partially offset by the 12% stronger Real.

Ultragaz’s cost of products sold amounted to R$ 3,076 million, up 4% over 2009, as a consequence of the 6% increase in the ex-refinery cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 onwards and the higher sales volume.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses
Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 1,924 million in 2010, up 9% over 2009, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards. Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 1,184 million, up 8% over 2009, as a result of a 17% increase in sales volumes and the consolidation of Texaco’s sales, general and administrative expenses from 2Q09 onwards, partially offset by the implementation of the operational and administrative synergy plan. Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 291 million, up 12% over 2009, mainly as a result of increased freight expenses resulting from higher sales volume and increased variable compensation, in line with earnings progression. Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 76 million in 2010, down 13% from 2009, despite the 20% increase in effective storage, due to the effect of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses. Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 375 million, up 15% over 2009, as a result of increased expenses related to promotional and sales campaigns and higher personnel expenses derived from the effect of inflation and an increase in variable compensation, in line with earnings progression.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA was R$ 1,776 million in 2010, up 24% over 2009, as a result of EBITDA growth in all businesses.

14

related to Texaco’s acquisition, and (iv) an improved product mix, effects partially offset by strong fluctuation in the availability of ethanol in the market. Oxiteno reported an EBITDA of R$ 241 million, up 41% over 2009, despite the 12% stronger Real, as a result of the recovery in margins and of an 8% increase in sales volumes. In 2010, Oxiteno’s unit EBITDA reached US$ 200/ton, up 49% over 2009. Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 111 million in 2010, up 7% from 2009, as a result of the growth in average storage in liquid bulk terminals, partially offset by the effects of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses. In 2010, Ultracargo’s EBITDA margin reached 38%, higher than the 31% margin reported in 2009. Ultragaz’s EBITDA totaled R$ 307 million, up 9% over 2009, as a result of the recovery in margins, to which the operational efficiency programs implemented and the performance in the bulk segment both contributed, partially offset by increased expenses with promotional and sales campaigns and by higher variable compensation, in line with earnings progression.
The EBITDA is a commonly used measure that aims to represent our capacity to generate cash from operations. Among other uses, EBITDA is used as an indicator in Ultrapar’s covenants related to financings, according to note 14 of the company’s financial statements. The EBITDA should not be considered separately, or as an alternative to net income, as a measure of operational performance, or as an alternative to the operational net cash flow, or even as a liquidity measure.
Depreciation and Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses amounted to R$ 531 million in 2009, stable in comparison with 2009, with the increased depreciation resulting from the consolidation of Texaco from 2Q09 onwards and from the investments made offset by a revision in the economic useful life of assets in accordance with Technical Standard ICPC 10 (from the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee), in effect from January 1st, 2010 onwards.
Income from sale of assets
In 2010, Ultrapar recorded an income from sale of assets in the total amount of R$ 79 million, up R$ 60 million over 2009, mainly from the sale of fixed assets and of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses of Ultracargo, and the receipt related to MaxFácil, on the back of the increase in Ipiranga’s distribution network in the last years.
Financial result
Ultrapar reported R$ 264 million of net financial expenses in 2010, down R$ 27 million from 2009, mainly as a result of the lower cost of debt. Ultrapar’s net debt to EBITDA ratio decreased from 1.5 times EBITDA at the end of 2009 to 1.2 times EBITDA at the end of 2010.
Net Earnings
Ultrapar’s consolidated net earnings reached R$ 765 million in 2010, up 74% over 2009, as a result of the 24% growth in Ultrapar’s EBITDA, lower financial expenses and the income from sale of assets.
Indebtedness
Ultrapar ended the fiscal year 2010 with a gross debt of R$ 5,396 million, resulting in a net debt of R$ 2,176 million, practically stable in comparison with 2009.

OUTLOOK
Ultrapar enters into the new decade well-positioned to capture the benefits from the economic growth and the larger scale of operations derived from the investments made, which strengthened its leading position in its markets and significantly expanded its exposure to the Brazilian domestic consumption. At Ipiranga, the perspectives of the continued growth in the light vehicle fleet derived from the increase in total wages and the credit availability, combined with the higher level of economic activity, will continue to boost sales volume growth. In addition, Ipiranga will continue to focus on the expansion plan of its service stations network in the Midwest, Northeast and North regions. Concurrently, Ipiranga will continue to benefit from its differentiation and innovation strategy, expanding and diversifying its products and services portfolio. At Oxiteno, with an important investment cycle to be concluded in 2011, the expansion of specialty chemicals production capacity focused on segments with a strong growth potential and the expansion of its ethylene oxide capacity to meet the growing demand for its products, will allow for the continuity of volume growth, with lower share of commodities in the sales mix and higher operating leverage. Ultracargo, now focused on liquid bulk storage, will benefit from the expansions underway at its terminals, with significant growth in its storage capacity, from the increased specialization of services provided, and from the growing demand for logistics infrastructure in Brazil. Ultragaz, which had a significant growth in its results in 2010, will continue to reap the benefits from the good prospects for the bulk segment, in which it is a prominent leader, and from its strategy of expanding in niche markets.
With higher investments expected for 2011 and potential acquisitions, Ultrapar enters into the new decade taking important steps to grow, with a constant focus on value creation and working adhered to the company’s strategy, alignment of interests and financial prudence. In addition to those basic pillars, the new decade is being planned based on a strategy with increasingly strong presence of innovation and sustainability, which are key elements in the pioneering initiatives that Ultrapar adopts in its business segments.

Opinion on the individual financial statements
In our opinion, the aforementioned individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual financial position of Ultrapar Participações S.A. as at December 31, 2010, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
Opinion on the consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ultrapar Participações S.A. as of December 31, 2010, and of its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
Emphasis of matter paragraph
As mentioned in note 2, the individual financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. In the case of Ultrapar Participações S.A. these practices differ from the IFRS, applicable to the separate financial statements, only with respect to the measurements of investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities measured by the equity method, while for IFRS purposes these investments would be measured at cost or fair value.
Other matters
Statements of value added
We also examined the individual and consolidated statement of value added (DVA), for the year ended on December 31, 2010, for which the disclosure is required by Brazilian corporation laws applicable to publicly-held companies and is an additional information for the IFRS which not requires this disclosure. These statements were submitted to the same audit procedures previously described and, in our opinion, are fairly presented in all its material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as whole.

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 | Basis of preparation of financial statements

2.1 Basis of transition to adoption of the new accounting pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
Aiming at the convergence of the Brazilian accounting to the IFRS, during the years 2009 and 2010 the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) issued several resolutions approving the 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 transition date elected by the Company for the application of the New BR GAAP was January 1, 2009, date on which the Company and its subsidiaries prepared their opening balance sheet in accordance with the pronouncements of the New BR GAAP and IFRS.
The Company’s individual financial statements as of December 31, 2010 are stated according to the New BR GAAP, as well as 2009 information included therein. IFRS does not require the equity method of accounting for the individual financial statements of the parent company. Besides equity accounting, the parent company’s financial statements in New BR GAAP contain a second difference to IFRS, as expressly permitted by CPC 43, relating to the deferred charges written off as of December 31, 2010, when such difference was eliminated (see Notes 2.2.c) and 28).
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 are stated according to the IFRS, issued by IASB, as well as 2009 information included therein.
With the purpose of preparing the financial statements under New BR GAAP equivalent to financial statements under IFRS, CPC 43 defines as the first step for the adoption of the new pronouncements the adoption of CPC 37 (First-Time Adoption of International Accounting Standards) – equivalent to IFRS 1 (First-Time Adoption of IFRS) – which provide exceptions to and optional exemptions for the complete retrospective addoption of the accounting standards, as summarized below.

a. | Exemption related to business combination occurred before the transition date

The Company and its subsidiaries opted for the exemption related to business combinations; accordingly, business combinations that occurred before January 1, 2009 were not restated. Main business combinations performed by the Company before the transition date were the acquisitions of Ipiranga in 2007 and União Terminais in 2008.
The Company and its subsidiaries extended this exemption to acquisitions of interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, which were not restated in the opening balance sheet as well. The main acquisition of joint venture realized before the transition date was the acquisition of RPR in 2007.

b. | Exemption related to changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities included in the cost of property, plant and equipment

The Company and its subsidiaries identified the need to include in property, plant and equipment the estimated cost to remove, to decommission or to restore, Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations.
Using the exemption permitted by the standard, Ipiranga did not calculate the removal cost of tanks existing on January 1, 2009 based on the costs at the acquisition date of the respective tanks for recognition in property, plant and equipment. The amount registered as the acquisition cost of the tanks in property, plant and equipment was obtained based on the estimated removal cost as of January 1, 2009, which was discounted to the date of acquisition of each tank and then depreciated up to the transition date.

c. | Exemption relating to deemed cost

The Company and its subsidiaries elected not to review historical costs of property, plant and equipment and not to use the deemed cost standard. The Company’s election not to use deemed cost is primarily a result of the following factors: (i) election to maintain the existing revaluation balances, which are now included in the cost value of its assets, (ii) recognition of the 1996 and 1997 inflation adjustment, (iii) a significant amount of investments in property, plant and equipment in the last three years, and (iv) fair value accounting for property, plant and equipment in acquisitions carried out since January 1, 2009.

a. | Recognition of provision for removal of fuel tanks (“asset retirement obligation” - ARO)

Under the prior accounting standards, there was no requirement to recognize a provision for the liability to remove Ipiranga’s fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations. The Company recognized amounts related to the removal and write-off of tanks as an expense as incurred.
For IFRS purposes, a provision must be recorded for the removal of assets when there is a legal or constructive obligation. The Company has identified that such provision is required for Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks. Therefore, a provision was recognized in the amount of the costs estimated to remove the tanks existing on January 1, 2009 (see Note 2.1.b).

b. | Measurement of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with the prior accounting practices, subsidiaries capitalized just borrowing costs with specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets. After January 1, 2009, subsidiaries started to capitalize also borrowing costs without specific destination related to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, based on a weighted average rate of borrowing costs prevailing in each period, according to IAS 23. In addition, hyperinflationary economy accounting, according to the prior accounting practices, was applied until December 31, 1995. Under the international standards applicable to the New BR GAAP, the Brazilian economy was qualified as a hyperinflationary economy in the years 1996 and 1997.

c. | Write-off of investments in progress and of deferred charges

For the prior accounting practices purposes, the Company capitalized the following items: (i) sundry expenses incurred for Texaco acquisition; (ii) expenses for the Comperj project, which is related to the future development of a joint business with other companies for the construction of a petrochemical complex; and (iii) restructuring costs related to the LPG distribution business.
For IFRS purposes, the expenses described above do not meet the conditions for capitalization and must be recognized in income when incurred. For New BR GAAP purposes, the balance relating to the LPG business restructuring project was written off as of December 31, 2010, while the remaining deferred items had already been written off as of the transition date.

d. | Business combination

d.1) Business combination – Texaco acquisition
On April 1, 2009, through its subsidiary Sociedade Brasileira de Participações Ltda., the Company acquired Chevron Brasil Ltda. and Sociedade Anônima de Óleo Galena Signal by an amount of R$ 1,355,509. This acquisition allowed an expansion of the Company’s fuel and lubricant distribution business to Brazil´s central-west, northeast and north regions and an increase in operating scale, which resulted in benefits for the Company and its resellers, customers, consumers and community.
In accordance with the prior accounting practices the assets and liabilities of acquired entities were recorded at book value. Goodwill was equal to the difference between the price paid, including sundry expenses incurred, and the net book value of the assets. Goodwill was broken down into R$ 398,985 based on expected future profitability and R$ 344,418 based on the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets.
For IFRS purposes, the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been determined. Acquisition cost has been allocated between the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recognized at fair value. Intangible assets which had not been recognized in the books of the acquired entities were taken into account during identification of assets and liabilities. Sundry expenses incurred were recognized as incurred and were not part of acquisition cost.
The table below summarizes the estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on completion of the acquisition:

|  |  | R$ |
Current assets |  |  | 625,000 |
Non-current assets |  |  | 1,132,485 |
Goodwill |  |  | 177,759 |
Total assets acquired and goodwill |  |  | 1,935,244 |
Current liabilities |  |  | 311,869 |
Non-current liabilities |  |  | 267,866 |
Net assets |  |  | 1,355,509 |

The fair value of intangible assets acquired in the business combination was allocated to (i) licensing, in the amount of R$ 25,466, which is amortized over 5 years and (ii) market rights of R$ 95,995, which are amortized over approximately 4 years.

d.2) Business combination – Acquisition of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”)
On November 1, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary IPP, acquired a 100% equity interest in DNP for an amount of R$ 72,330, subject to 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 provisionally taken into account.The provisional goodwill based on expected future earnings is R$ 46,541. 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$ 47,648 (gross of R$ 16,126 of deferred income and social contribution taxes), which reflects the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets. The report is in its preliminary stage and may be changed until its completion expected for March 2011.
The table below summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the completion of the acquisition:

|  |  | $R |
Current assets |  |  | 45,292 |
Non-current assets |  |  | 39,942 |
Goodwill |  |  | 46,541 |
Total assets acquired and goodwill |  |  | 131,775 |
Current liabilities |  |  | 21,223 |
Non-current liabilities |  |  | 38,222 |

Net earnings per share - whole R$ (see Note 29) |  |  | 1.45 |

e. | Loyalty Program

Since March 2009, Ipiranga has a loyalty program called Km de Vantagens that rewards registered customers with points when they buy products at Ipiranga gas stations. The customer may exchange the points for discounts on products and services offered by Ipiranga’s partners.
Under the prior accounting practices, charges under the program for which Ipiranga was liable (those related to Multiplus Fidelidade partner) were recognized as incurred.
For IFRS purposes, points received by Ipiranga’s customers for buying products at the gas station chain that may be used in Multiplus Fidelidade are considered as part of the sales revenue based on the fair value of the points granted. Revenue is deferred based on the expected redemption of points, and is recognized in income when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the charges incurred are also recognized in income. Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is recognized in income when the points expire.

f. | Embedded derivative

Under the previous accounting standards, a derivative embedded in a financial investment or contract was not required to be accounted for separately from the host contract.
For IFRS purposes, an embedded derivative must be bifurcated between the host contract and the derivative. As of January 1, 2009, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas Corp (“Oxiteno Overseas”) had Linked Notes, which were linked to the notes issued by its subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Cia. Ultragaz”). These Linked Notes were bifurcated for IFRS purposes (see Note 4.a) for additional details on these Linked Notes).

g. | Other effects

Other effects include amounts that, whether individually or jointly, are immaterial.

h. | Deferred income and social contribution taxes

Deferred income and social contribution taxes represent the effects of the matters addressed in items (a) to (g).

i. | Reversal of dividends payable in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends established in the Bylaws

Under the previous accounting standards, at the end of each fiscal year, dividends and interest on equity proposed by management were recognized as liabilities, regardless of whether they had been approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
For IFRS purposes, dividends and interest on equity in excess of the obligation established in the Bylaws must be recognized as a legal obligation in current liabilities only if approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

j. | Presentation of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries

Under the previous accounting standards, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries were presented separately from shareholders’ equity and deducted from net income in the consolidated financial statements.
For IFRS purposes, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented as part of consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.

k. | Reclassifications

For compatibility with IFRS and a better presentation of the financial statements, certain reclassifications between accounts were made in the previously published balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
The main reclassifications were:

· | Depreciation and amortization costs, which were previously recorded in the income statement under depreciation and amortization, are now allocated according to their function, i.e. in costs of goods sold, selling expenses or administrative expenses.

· | Escrow deposits are now disclosed separately from provisions for contingencies.

· | Bonuses for clients, which were previously recognized in accounts receivable, are now recognized in intangible assets.

· | Foreign currency advances delivered, which were previously recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable, are now recorded under loans and financing.

· | Deferred income and social contribution taxes are now recorded as long-term.

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies
The accounting policies described below were applied by the Company and its subsidiaries in a consistent manner for all the periods presented in these Company and consolidated financial statements and in the preparation of the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2009 for transition to the New BR GAAP and the IFRS standards. For information about the basis for the transition to New BR GAAP and IFRS, as well as the differences between both accounting standards see Notes 2.1, 2.2.c) and 28.

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

31

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the financial statements
(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
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.
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 ornet 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 2.3.r).

e. | Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued by the equity method of accounting.
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 common control are also accounted for the equity method of accounting (see Note 11).
The other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for loss, unless the loss is considered temporary.

f. | Property, plant and equipment

Recorded at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant and equipment under construction, as well as significant maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages. Property, plant and equipment acquired before December 31,1997 are adjusted for inflation as of that date, as mentioned in Note 2.2.b).
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 12, taking into account the economic life of the assets, which are periodically revised and applied as from January 1, 2010. The methodology applied by the independent appraiser took into account the economic or technical life estimated by the manufacturer, based on ideal project conditions, adjusted by determinant reduction factors of service and maintenance conditions inherent to the analyzed groups of property, plant and equipment. The following groups of property, plant and equipment were subject to revision:

| Weighted average term of depreciation | Weighted average term of depreciation
| (years) - previous | (years) - revised
Buildings | 25 | 26
Leasehold improvements | 14 | 12
Machinery and equipment | 10 | 11
Light fuel/lubricant distribution equipment and facilities | 10 | 14
LPG tanks and bottles | 10 | 13
Vehicles | 5 | 6
Furniture and utensils | 10 | 7
IT equipment | 5 | 5

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the contract term and useful/economic life of the property.

g. | Financial leases

• Finance leases
Certain financial lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are stated at fair value or, 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.h).
• Operating leases
Are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract, in accordance with Note 21.d).

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.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

i. | Current and non-current liabilities

Current and noncurrent liabilities are stated at known or calculable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred until the date of the financial statements. When applicable the current and noncurrent liabilities are recorded in present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction. Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary only to accomplish the transactions in order to raise funds through contracting debt or loans or by issuing debt bonds, as well as premiums in the issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are appropriated to their instrument and amortized to income over their term.

j. | Income and social contribution taxes on profit

Current and deferred income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) are calculated based on the current rates of income tax and social contribution on profit, including the value of tax incentives, as stated in Note 9.b).

k. | Assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

This provision corresponds to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations after a certain period. 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. The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.

l. | Provision for contingencies

The provision for contingencies is created for contingent risks with a probable chance of loss (more-likely-than-not) in the opinion of management and internal and external legal counsel, and the amounts are recorded based on evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 21.a).

m. | Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Reserves for actuarial liabilities for post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method, as described in Note 22.b).

n. | Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are translated into their functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in income until their realization.

o. | Basis for translation of financial statements 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 financial statements. 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. The recorded balance in other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2010 was R$ 18,597 of exchange rate loss (R$ 5,302 loss as of December 31, 2009).
For IFRS purposes, based on IAS 29, from 2010, Venezuela is regarded as a hyperinflationary economy. As a result, the financial statements 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 loss recognized as income as of December 31, 2010 amounted to R$ 1,726 (R$ 10,794 loss as of December 31, 2009).

p. | Use of judgment

The financial statements require the use of judgment and estimates for the accounting of certain assets, liabilities and results. In these estimates, the Company and subsidiaries's management use the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The financial statements therefore include estimates related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 4 and 20), the determination of provisions for income taxes (Note 9), the useful life of property, plants and equipments (Note 12), recovery value of long-lived assets (Note 13), provisions for tax, civil and labor liabilities (Note 21) and estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Note 22). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from estimates.

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 and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as long-term and, where relevant, short-term assets and liabilities and did not identify the need to adjust other balances to present value.

s. | Statements of value added

The Company and its subsidiaries prepare the statements of value added, individual and consolidated, according to CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added, as an integral part of the New BR GAAP financial statements as applicable to public companies, while for IFRS purposes they represent additional financial information.

t. | New pronouncements not yet adopted

Some standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRS issued by IASB have not yet taken effect for the year ended December 31, 2010:
• Limited exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters.
• Improvements to IFRS 2010.
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
• Prepayment of a minimum fund requirement (Amendment to IFRIC 14)
• Amendments to IAS 32 Classification of rights issues
CPC has not yet issued statements equivalent to the above IFRS pronouncement, but is expected to do so before the date they become effective. The early adoption of IFRS pronouncements is subject to prior approval of the CVM.
The Company and its subsidiaries have not estimated the impact of these new standards on their financial statements.
On February 23, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the conclusion of these financial statements.

(a) Represents US$ 60 million in linked notes (the “Linked Notes”), which were linked to the notes issued by subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz in foreign markets in 1997 (the “Original Notes”). In April 2006, subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas, then the owner of the Original Notes, sold those notes to a financial institution abroad. Simultaneously, the subsidiary purchased the Linked Notes from the same financial institution. This transaction resulted in a financial gain to the subsidiary corresponding to the difference between the interest rate paid on the Linked Notes and the Original Notes, as explained in Note 14.c). This financial instrument was classified as loans and receivables for measurement purposes (see Note 2.3.c). The Linked Notes have an embedded derivative, which was bifurcated (see Notes 2.2.f) and 20). On December 23, 2009, subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas sold the Linked Notes to the financial institution and repurchased the Original Notes, thus settling the investment.
(b) Accumulated gains, net of income tax (see Note 20).

20 | Risks and financial instruments (Consolidated)

Risk management and financial instruments - Governance
The main risk factors to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by the Company’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the Company and its subsidiaries and by their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and establishment of limits.
The Company has a conservative policy for the management of assets, financial instruments and financial risks approved by its Board of Directors (“Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management is to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the proper conduct of business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

• | Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments and risks is the responsibility of the Financial Area, through its treasury, with the assistance of the tax and accounting areas.

• | Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, set up more than 10 years ago and composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fund raising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.

• | Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

• | Continuous enhancement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the Financial Area.

Currency risk
Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for currency risk management is the Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.
The subsidiaries of the Company use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are stated below, translated into Reais as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

(1) | Amount disclosed due to its magnitude and to RPR having independent financial management. The net asset position as of December 31, 2010 of RPR reflects the amount of R$ 18.2 million of contracted exchange rate swaps primarily to protect the future import of oil, net of (i) R$ 1.6 million of financing in foreign currency and (ii) R$ 3.0 million of suppliers in foreign currency.

Based on the net liability position of R$ 169.0 million in foreign currency shown above, the Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 16.9 million, of which R$ 22.2 million of losses recognized in income and R$ 5.3 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$ 16.9 million, of which R$ 22.2 million of gains recognized in income and R$ 5.3 million of loss directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments (see Note 2.3.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 the interest rate for 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 December 31, 2010, 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.
Government credit risk - The Company and its subsidiaries have financial investments in federal government bonds of Brazil and countries rated AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies. The volumes of financial investments are subject to maximum limits by country and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Customer credit risk - Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and credit rating and are additionally mitigated by diversification of sales. No single customer or group accounts for more than 10% of total revenue. As of December 31, 2010, Ipiranga maintained R$ 101,275 (R$ 98,330 as of December 31, 2009), Ultragaz maintained R$ 16,613 (R$ 12,719 as of December 31, 2009), Oxiteno maintained R$ 1,429 (R$ 2,089 as of December 31, 2009) and the subsidiaries of Ultracargo maintained R$ 615 (R$ 1,322 as of December 31, 2009) 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 from January to December 2011 totals R$ 820.5 million. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2011 totals R$ 1,044 million. On December 31, 2010, the Company and its Subsidiaries had R$ 3,220.4 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.
As mentioned in the section Risk management and financial instruments – Governance of this Note, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis.

The 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 changes of subsidiary RPR on future imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On December 31, 2010 these instruments of protection amounted US$ 70.3 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 December 31, 2010 these instruments of protection totaled R$ 1,809.5 million. The Company and its Subsidiaries recognized a gain of R$ 18.2 million in the period, of which R$ 16.4 million refer to the result of instruments of protection and R$ 1.8 million refer to the fair value adjustment of the debt.

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

• | The fair values of cash on current account are identical to the carrying values.

• | Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the financial statements, which correspond to their fair value.

• | Financial investments in CDBs (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 December 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009. 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.j) 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 December 31, 2010. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.36 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional devaluation, respectively, of the Real in the likely scenario.
Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of December 31, 2010, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of December 31, 2010 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

|  |  |  | Scenario I (likely) |  |  |  |  |  |  |

(7)+(8) |  | Net Effect |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 1 |

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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010. The result is stated on the table below:

| Risk |  | Scenario I (likely) |  |  | Scenario II |  |  | Scenario III |
Interest rate swap (in dollars) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
(1) LIBOR swap - fixed rate | Increase in |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | 52 |  |  |  | 105 |
(2) LIBOR Debt | LIBOR |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | (54 | ) |  |  | (108 | )
(1)+(2) | Net Effect |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | (2 | ) |  |  | (3 | )

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 December 31, 2010 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.
Based on three scenarios of interest rates in Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and instruments of protection according to the risk which is being protected (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Reais), by projecting them to future value by the contracted rates and bringing them to present value by the interest rates of the estimated scenarios. The result is shown in the table below:

| Risk |  | Scenario I (likely) |  |  | Scenario II |  |  | Scenario III |
Interest rate swap (in R$) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
(1) Fixed rate swap - CDI | Increase in |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | (126,499 | ) |  |  | (240,480 | )
(2) Fixed rate financing | prefixed rate |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 126,526 |  |  |  | 240,539 |

21 | Contingencies and commitments (Consolidated)

a. Civil, tax and labor proceedings
On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Cia Ultragaz”) 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$ 185,398 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 135,821 as of December 31, 2009) and have recorded a corresponding liability.
Subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, Utingás Armazenadora S.A. (“Utingás”), Tequimar, Transultra and 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. The other subsidiaries maintain a provision of R$ 980 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 914 as of December 31, 2009) 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$ 6,481 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 7,044 as of December 31, 2009).
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$ 12,934 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 12,528 as of December 31, 2009).
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$ 982 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 902 as of December 31, 2009); 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, Transultra, 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$ 57,302 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 43,571 as of December 31, 2009); 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$ 35,583, 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$ 19,216 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 21,724 as of December 31, 2009).
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$ 10,119; (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$ 27,752; (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$ 5,994; (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$ 4,798; (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$ 9,078, (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$ 14,241. During 2010, subsidiary IPP has adhered to amnesties granted by States of Goiás, Pará, Paraíba, Tocantins, Paraná and Minas Gerais and paid off a portion of its contingent liabilities, which significantly reduced its ICMS tax liability.

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 financial statements, 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$ 85,197, (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$ 14,747 (c) assessments for alleged lack of tax payment, R$ 23,157; (d) records of notices issued in Ourinhos/SP for the operations to return the loan of ethanol made with tax deferral, R$ 23,292, (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$ 10,014, (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$ 18,553, (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$ 15,788 and
(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$ 17,161.
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 December 31, 2010, is R$ 60,053 (R$ 53,288 as of December 31, 2009). 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$ 30,192 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 December 31, 2010.

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 37 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$ 91,552 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 86,818 as of December 31, 2009) and also a provision of R$ 23,256 as of December 31, 2010 (R$ 18,390 as of December 31, 2009) 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 financial statements due to their contingent nature.

b. Contracts
Subsidiary Tequimar has agreements with CODEBA and Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros in connection with its port facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such agreements set a minimum value for cargo movement, as shown below:

Aratu | 900,000 | 2022
Suape | 250,000 | 2027

The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. In case of breach of the minimum purchase commitment, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 40% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall. The provision of minimum purchase commitment is under renegotiation with Braskem.

|  | Minimum purchase commitment (accumulated until December) |  |  | Accumulated demand until December (actual) |

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 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:

|  | 12/31/2010 |  |  | 12/31/2009 |  |  | 1/1/2009 |
Up to 1 year |  |  | 752 |  |  |  | 554 |  |  |  | 739 |
More than 1 year |  |  | 400 |  |  |  | 692 |  |  |  | 742 |
|  |  | 1,152 |  |  |  | 1,246 |  |  |  | 1,481 |

22 | 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 December 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 13,041 (R$ 10,623 as of December 31, 2009) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement for the year. The total number of employees participating in the plan as of December 31 , 2010 was 7,271 active participants and 48 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 29 former employees receiving benefits under the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

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 December 31, 2010 are R$ 104,501 (R$ 102,040 as of December 31, 2009 and R$ 86,490 as of January 1, 2009), of which R$ 11,339 (R$ 11,960 as of December 31, 2009 and R$ 8,768 as of January 1, 2009) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 93,162 (R$ 90,080 as of December 31 , 2009 and R$ 77,722 as of January 1, 2009) 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 financial statements in accordance with Resolution CVM 600/2009.
