ANNEX II - ITEM 10 OF THE REFERENCE FORM

10. | Management discussion & analysis

Introduction
You should read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements, filed with the CVM on February 24th, 2011, including the notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this document.
From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in the presentation of financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010, as well as the information of 2009 included in such statements, were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differs in certain aspects from the previous Brazilian accounting standards. Likewise, the financial information referring to the fiscal years ended December 31st, 2009 and 2010, as well as the balance sheet information of January 1st, 2009, are presented in this document according to the IFRS, except when otherwise indicated.
As allowed by CVM, the financial information referring to the fiscal year ended December 31st, 2008 is presented without the changes introduced by the new legislation, but with the format of such financial statements compatible to the IFRS. In order to provide comparability of information, the analysis of the main changes in the results for the years 2009 and 2008 included in item 10.1.h is presented according to accounting policies previously adopted in Brazil.
See “Item 10.4.a. Significant changes in accounting principles” and “Item 10.4.b. Significant effects of the changes in accounting practices”. Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31st, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were audited by the independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG Auditores Independentes.

10.1. | Management discussion on:

a. | General financial and equity conditions

Company overview
Ultrapar is a Brazilian business group with more than 70 years of history, with leading position in the markets in which it operates. Our four principal segments are:
· the LPG distribution business, conducted by Ultragaz;
· the fuels distribution business, conducted by Ipiranga;
· the chemical and petrochemical business, conducted by Oxiteno; and
· storage for liquid bulk, conducted by Ultracargo.
Ultragaz distributes LPG to residential, commercial and industrial market segments. Ipiranga distributes gasoline, ethanol, diesel, NGV (natural gas for vehicles), fuel oil, kerosene and lubricants through a network of 5.7 thousand service stations and directly to large customers. Oxiteno produces ethylene oxide and its principal derivatives, and is also a major producer of specialty chemicals, particularly surfactants. It manufactures approximately 700 products used in various industrial sectors such as cosmetics, detergents, crop protection chemicals, packaging, textiles, paints and varnishes. Ultracargo is the largest provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil.
In June 2008, Ultrapar signed a sale and purchase agreement with Unipar for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of União Terminais, a company engaged in the storage and handling of liquid bulk. In October 2008, Ultrapar closed the acquisition in relation to the port terminals in Santos and Rio de Janeiro. In November 2008, it closed the acquisition of the 50% stake in União/Vopak, which owns a port terminal in Paranaguá (in the state of Paraná). The results of the businesses acquired were consolidated into Ultrapar’s financial statements after their respective closing dates. Ultrapar’s financial statements in periods prior to fourth quarter 2008 do not include the results of the businesses acquired.
In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The acquisition was closed on March 31st, 2009. The results of Texaco started to be consolidated into Ultrapar’s financial statements on April 1st, 2009 onwards, after the financial settlement of the transaction. Ultrapar’s financial statements in periods prior to second quarter 2009 do not include Texaco’s results.
On July 1st, 2010, Ultrapar concluded the sale of 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. The financial statements of Ultrapar and Ultracargo from the third quarter of 2010 onwards no longer include the businesses sold.
On October 26th, 2010, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of DNP. 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.
2010
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 7.5% in the year, driven by the good performance of the retail, automotive and civil construction sectors. The strong growth of the Brazilian economy, associated with larger scale of operations, derived from investments made in the last years, with the prudence in financial management and with results- and value creation oriented culture enabled Ultrapar to achieve record levels of results in 2010. In the year, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 42.5 billion, EBITDA amounted to R$ 1,776.3 million and net earnings amounted to R$ 765.2 million. 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. Ultrapar ended 2009 with total assets of R$ 13.0 billion and shareholders’ equity of R$ 5.2 billion.
2009
The year 2009 was marked by the effects of the global financial crisis, more intense during the first quarter of 2009, period when the Brazilian gross domestic product decreased by 2.1% compared with 2008. During the following quarters, measures adopted by the Brazilian government to minimize the impacts of the crisis started to reflect on the economy, leading to a gradual recovery of the GDP. Even in the instable economic environment seen particularly in the first half of 2009, the Company reported growth in its results quarter after quarter, while keeping a sound and prudent management of its cash generation and indebtedness levels. In 2009, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 36.1 billion, EBITDA amounted to R$ 1,430.4 million and net earnings amounted to R$ 440.7 million. The Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.5 times in December through the achievement of cash generation established goals. Ultrapar, which had already been assigned the investment grade rating by Moody’s, was also assigned investment grade by Standard & Poor’s in October 2009. Ultrapar ended 2009 with total assets of R$ 11.5 billion and shareholders’ equity of R$ 4.8 billion.
2008
In 2008, Ultrapar concluded a cycle of major investments, continuing its strategy of expanding its scale and improving the competitiveness of its businesses. In the fuel distribution segment, Ultrapar continued its growth strategy initiated in 2007 with the acquisition of Ipiranga’s distribution business in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, and entered into an agreement in August 2008, to acquire Texaco's fuel distribution business in Brazil. In the logistic segment, Ultracargo concluded the acquisition of União Terminais in November, a milestone in its transformation process, with the objective to consolidate itself as the largest and most complete provider of integrated logistic solutions for special bulk cargo in Brazil. In Oxiteno, relevant investments were completed in 2008, significantly increasing the company's specialty chemical production capacity. With the acquisitions and investments in organic expansion, we ended 2008 with net sales of R$ 28.3 billion, EBITDA of R$ 1.1 billion and net earnings of R$ 390.3 million. Ultrapar ended 2008 with total assets of R$ 9.7 billion and shareholders’ equity of R$ 4.7 billion.

| i. | Hypothesis for the redemption of shares

There is no hypothesis for the redemption of shares issued by the Company, in addition to those legally provided.

| ii. | Calculation for redemption value

Not applicable.

c. | Capacity to meet our financial commitments

Our principal sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) loans. We believe that these sources will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our 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, we assess opportunities for acquisitions and investments. We consider different types of investments, either direct or through our subsidiaries, joint ventures, or affiliated companies. We finance such investments through cash generated from our operations, through new loans and financings, through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.
We believe we have sufficient working capital for our present requirements. We have R$ 820.5 million in debt maturing from January 2011 to December 2011. Additionally we have a R$ 1,044 million capital expenditures budgeted for 2011. As of December 31st, 2010, we had R$ 3,220.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments.
We anticipate that we will spend approximately R$ 9.3 billion in the next five years to meet long-term contractual obligations, including the amortization and payment of interests, as well as the capital expenditures budgeted for 2011.

Contractual obligations |  |  | 1,572.2 |
Investment plan for 2011 |  |  | 1,044.0 |

Total |  |  | 9,313.1 |
1 Includes estimated interest payments on our short- and long-term debt. Information of our derivative instruments is not included. The fair value information of such derivatives is available in note 20 of our financial statements, filed with the CVM on February 24th, 2011. The estimated interest payment amount was calculated based on macro-economic assumptions including, on average for the period, (i) 11% CDI interest rate, (ii) 4.0% weaker real in relation to the U.S. dollar and (iii) 6.0% TJLP rate.

See “Item 10.1.f. Indebtedness level and debt profile”, “Item 10.8.b. Other off-balance sheet arrangements” and “Item 10.10.a.i. Quantitative and qualitative description of the investments in progress and the estimated investments” for further information.
We expect to meet these cash requirements through a combination of cash flows generated from operating and financing activities, including new debt financing and the refinancing of some of our indebtedness as it becomes due.

d. | Sources for financing working capital and investments in non-current assets

We generated cash flow from operations of R$ 1,508.2 million, R$ 1,742.1 million and R$ 623.4 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2010, our cash flow from operations decreased R$ 233.9 million from 2009, despite the growth of R$ 674.5 million in the cash flow from operating activities, due to the higher investment in working capital in 2010, resulting from the growth in all businesses, and from the decrease of working capital in 2009. Our cash flow from operations increased by R$ 1,118.7 million in 2009 compared to 2008, mainly reflecting (i) a decrease in working capital due to the inventory realization process at Oxiteno and the decrease in the diesel cost at Ipiranga from June 2009 on, (ii) a higher depreciation resulting from the investments made and (iii) an increase in net earnings, as a result of the increase in EBITDA.
Cash flow of investing activities used an amount of R$ 1,903.6 million, R$ 1,609.0 million and R$ 1,276.4 million in the years ended December 31st, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, we invested R$ 840.8 million, R$ 603.8 million and R$ 889.4 million in additions to fixed and intangible assets, net of disposals. In 2010, Ultrapar concluded the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses of Ultracargo with a net receipt of R$ 80 million, that was partially offset by the initial disbursement of R$ 47 million settled in November 2010 for the acquisition of DNP. In 2009 and 2008, we invested R$ 1,355.5 million and R$ 432.4 million in equity investments, net of disposals, mainly due to the acquisitions of Texaco in 2009 and of União Terminais in 2008.
Net cash flow from financing activities totaled R$ 153.6 million, R$ 484.5 million and R$ 1,057.9 million in the years ended December 31st, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, mainly from financing obtained with Banco Bradesco S.A., Banco do Brasil, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES and Caixa Econômica Federal. Net cash flow from financing activities reflected the increase in Ultrapar’s gross debt due to the investments in organic growth, acquisitions and payment of dividends. As a consequence, cash and cash equivalents increased from R$ 1,887.5 million as of December 31st, 2009, to R$ 2,642.4 million as of December 31st, 2010, and from R$ 1,275.1 million as of December 31st, 2008 to R$ 1,887.5 million as of December 31st, 2009.

| e. | Sources for financing working capital and investments in non-current assets to be used to in case of deficiencies in liquidity

In 2010, 2009 and 2008, we did not present deficiencies in liquidity. We believe that Ultrapar has own resources and operational cash generation sufficient to finance its needs for working capital and investments estimated for 2011.

f. | Indebtedness level and debt profile

Our gross debt increased by 21% during the year ended on December 31st, 2010, from R$ 4,466.7 million as of December 31st, 2009 to R$ 5,396.0 million as of December 31st, 2010. As of December 31st, 2008, our gross debt was R$ 3,671.9 million, 18% lower that the gross debt at the end of 2009. Our short term debt as of December 31st, 2010, 2009 and 2008 2007 was equivalent to 15%, 26% and 45% of our gross debt, respectively.

The table below shows our indebtedness for each period:

The syndicated loan has maturity in June 2011 and financial charge of LIBOR + 1.25% p.a. Cia Ultragaz contracted hedging instruments for floating interest rate in dollar and for exchange rate variation, swapping the syndicated loan rate to 99.5% of CDI (see note 20). The syndicated loan is secured by the Company and subsidiary Oxiteno S.A.
In April 2006, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas sold the Original Notes issued by Cia. Ultragaz to a financial institution. Simultaneously, the subsidiary acquired from that financial institution notes linked to the Original Notes (the Linked Notes), as described in note 4 of our financial statements, thus obtaining an additional return on this investment. On December 23rd, 2009 the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas sold the Linked Notes to the financial institution and repurchased the Original Notes.
Debentures and Promissory Notes
In June 2009, Ultrapar made its third issuance of debentures, in a single series of 1,200 simple, non-convertible into shares and unsecured with the following characteristics:

Face value unit: | R$ 1,000,000.00
Final maturity: | May 19th, 2012
Payment of the face value: | Lump sum at final maturity
Interest: | 100% CDI + 3.0% p.a.
Payment of interest: | Annually
Reprice: | Not applicable

The proceeds obtained with this issuance were used for the prepayment, in June 2009, of 120 Promissory Notes in the total amount of R$ 1,200,000,000.00 issued by the Company in December 2008.
In December 2009, we concluded the review of certain terms and conditions of our third issuance of debentures. Thus, the interest of the debentures was reduced to 108.5% of CDI and its maturity date was extended to December 4th, 2012. The debentures have annual interest payments and amortization in one single tranche at the maturity date, with the following characteristics:

Face value unit: | R$ 1,000,000.00
Final maturity: | December 4th, 2012
Payment of the face value: | Lump sum at final maturity
Interest: | 108.5% of CDI
Payment of interest: | Annually

Financing contracts with BNDES
In August 2006, our subsidiaries signed a revolving line of credit agreement with BNDES in the total amount of R$ 728 million to finance investments over the next 5 years, starting in 2006. In December 2008, an additional credit limit was hired with BNDES, including new beneficiaries (IPP and its subsidiaries), and the credit limit was extended to R$ 1,622 million. On December 31st, 2010, the amount being used by the subsidiaries was R$ 645 million.
Additionally, through its subsidiaries, Ultrapar contracted a working capital loan (not included in the revolving line described above) with BNDES in the total amount of R$ 612 million. As of December 31st, 2010, the total amount outstanding of this debt was R$ 624 million.
Bank Credit Bill
In March 2009, subsidiary IPP contracted a Bank Credit Bill with Caixa Econômica Federal in the amount of R$ 500 million maturing in March 2012. In March 2010, subsidiary IPP settled this loan in advance and substituted it for a loan with Banco do Brasil.
Loans with Banco do Brasil
The subsidiary IPP contracted loans with Banco do Brasil to finance the marketing, processing or manufacture of agricultural-derived goods (ethanol). During 2010, IPP raised an additional R$ 1,400 million and renegotiated certain loans that would mature during this period in an amount of R$ 410 million. IPP contracted interest rate hedging instruments, thus converting the charges for those loans into an average 98.75% of CDI (see note 20 of our financial statements). Subsidiary IPP designates its hedging instruments as a fair value hedge. Therefore, loans and hedging instruments are both stated at fair value since their hiring date.

ii. | Other long term relations with financial institutions

In addition to the relationships mentioned in items 10.1.f.i. Relevant loan and financing contracts and 10.1.g. Limits of use of contracted loans and financing, Ultrapar maintains long term relationships with financial institutions (i) in connection with the ordinary course of the business, such as the payroll of its employees, credit and collection, payments and currency and interest rate hedging instruments and (ii) through a joint venture (50%/50%) between Ipiranga and Itaú Unibanco for the provision of financial services and management of the Ipiranga-branded credit cards, due in 2016.

iii. | Subordination of debt

Our secured debt as of December 31st, 2010, amounted to R$ 83.7 million. Except for the secured debt, there is no subordination among our existing debt.

iv. | Any restrictions imposed on the issuer, especially related to indebtedness limits and the hiring of new debt, to dividend distribution, to the sale of assets, to the issuing of new securities and to change of control

The restrictions imposed on Ultrapar and its subsidiaries are those usual for transactions of this nature and have not limited their ability to conduct their business to date.
As a result of the issuance of notes due in 2015, certain obligations must be maintained by Ultrapar:

· | Limit on transactions with shareholders that hold 5% or more of any class of capital of the Company, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company than what could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a third-party;

· | board approval requirement for transactions with related parties totaling more than

| US$ 15 million (except transactions with or between subsidiaries);

· | restriction on the sale of all or substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries;

· | restriction on encumbrances on assets in excess of US$ 150 million or 15% of the value of consolidated tangible assets.

As a result of the issuance of the syndicated loan, some obligations additional to the ones mentioned above must be maintained by Ultrapar:

· | maintain a ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) of no more than 3.5; and

· | maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net financial expenses of at least 1.5.

· | As a result of BNDES financing contracts, during the effectiveness of these agreements, Ultrapar must keep the following capitalization and current liquidity levels, as verified in annual audited balance sheet

Ÿ | capitalization level: shareholders’ equity / total assets equal to or above 0.30; and

Ÿ | current liquidity level: current assets / current liabilities equal to or above 1.3.

g. | Limits of use of contracted loans and financings

The BNDES credit lines described under “Item 10.1.f.i. Relevant loan and financing contracts – BNDES” must be used exclusively to partially finance the Company’s investments projects. The proceeds are available upon approval of each project and according to the project’s disbursement schedule.

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. 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.

Overview on sales volume

|  | 2009 |  |  | 2008 |  |  | Percent change 2009-2008 |
Ultragaz (000 tons) |  |  | 1,589 |  |  |  | 1,601 |  |  |  | -1 | %
Ipiranga (000 m3) |  |  | 17,214 |  |  |  | 12,075 |  |  |  | 43 | %
Oxiteno (000 tons) |  |  | 634 |  |  |  | 567 |  |  |  | 12 | %
Ultracargo (000 m3) |  |  | 461 |  |  |  | 335 |  |  |  | 37 | %

In 2009, the Brazilian LPG market decreased by 1.2% from 2008. In the same period, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 1,589 thousand tons, a 0.7% decrease, with a 0.7% increase in the bottled segment and a 4.0% decrease in the bulk segment. Excluding the effect of a temporary consumption of 15 thousand tons in 2008 by a large client in the bulk segment, the total volume would have remained stable, and sales volume in the bulk segment would have decreased by 1% compared with 2008. The growth in the bottled segment is a result of the resilient demand in this segment, given its essential good nature, and of commercial initiatives implemented by the company, including new markets. At Ipiranga, sales volume grew by 43%, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco’s volume from the second quarter of 2009 on and the expansion of the light vehicle fleet, which boosted the combined volume of gasoline, ethanol and NGV. The diesel volume increased by 32% as a result of the aggregation of Texaco’s volume from the second quarter of 2009 onwards, partly offset by a reduction in consumption associated with the economic performance. At Oxiteno, sales volume reached 634 thousand tons in 2009, up 12% over 2008, mainly due to completed expansions in the production capacity, highlighting the 8% growth in the domestic market, primarily on the back of imports replacement. At Ultracargo, effective storage showed an increase of 37%, as result of the consolidation of União Terminais from the forth quarter of 2008 onwards, the expansions of the Aratu terminal and a higher volume of operations at the Suape terminal.
Net sales and services

Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 36,115.9 million in 2009, a 28% increase over 2008, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 3,441.2 million, 3% higher than that of 2008, despite the 0.7% decrease in sales volume, due to commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented. Ipiranga’s net sales and services totaled R$ 30,498.8 million in 2009, a 34% growth over 2008, as a consequence of the 43% increase in sales volume, partly offset by the reduction in the diesel ex-refinery cost in June 2009. Oxiteno reported net sales and services of R$ 1,921.1 million, practically stable compared with 2008, despite the 12% increase in sales volume and the 9% weaker real, as a result of an 18% decrease in average dollar prices, particularly the 46% decrease in international glycol prices. Ultracargo’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 337.0 million, 19% higher than that in 2008, mainly on the back of the consolidation of União Terminais from the forth quarter of 2008 onwards, increased average storage, and contractual tariff adjustments.
Cost of products and services

(R$ million) |  | 2009 |  |  | 2008 |  |  | Percent change 2009-2008 |
Ultragaz |  |  | 2,895.7 |  |  |  | 2,898.4 |  |  |  | 0 | %

Ultracargo |  |  | 197.0 |  |  |  | 187.4 |  |  |  | 5 | %

Ultrapar's cost of products and services amounted to R$ 33,412.0 million in 2009, a 28% increase over 2008, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards. Ultragaz’s cost of products sold amounted to R$ 2,895.7 million, practically stable compared with 2008 and in line with the variation in sales volume. Ipiranga’s cost of products sold totaled R$ 28,828.0 million, 34% higher than that in 2009, mainly as a consequence of a 43% increase in sales volume, partly offset by the decrease in the diesel ex-refinery cost in June 2009. The cost of products sold at Oxiteno totaled R$ 1,611.2 million, an increase of 6% over 2008, due to the growth in sales volume, a 9% weaker real and a higher depreciation resulting from the expanded operations in the forth quarter of 2008, partly offset by a 17% reduction in the variable cost per ton in dollar. Nevertheless, the reduction in the variable cost per ton in dollar price reported in the 2009 financial statements was significantly lower than the reduction in raw materials international prices, due to the process of realization of Oxiteno’s inventories with historical costs higher than replacement costs, mainly in the first half of the year. Ultracargo's cost of services provided amounted to R$ 197 million, up 5% from 2008, as a result of the consolidation of União Terminais’ cost of services from the forth quarter of 2008 onwards and an increase in the volume of products handled at the terminals, partly offset by the realization of operational synergies resulting from the consolidation of União Terminais and a reduced presence in the packed cargo transportation segment.
Gross profit
Ultrapar’s gross profit amounted to R$ 2,703.9 million in 2009, a 28% increase over 2008, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards. Ultragaz’s gross profit totaled R$ 545.5 million, up 24% from 2008. Ipiranga’s gross profit amounted to R$ 1,670.7 million, 41% higher than that in 2008.

Sales, general and administrative expenses

(R$ million) | 2009 | 2008 | Percent change 2009-2008
Ultragaz | 381.4 | 348.3 | 9%
Ipiranga | 1,068.2 | 691.4 | 54%
Oxiteno | 267.6 | 246.0 | 9%
Ultracargo | 90.0 | 91.9 | -2%

Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 1,808.2 million in 2009, a 27% increase over 2008, mainly as a result of the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards. Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 381.4 million, 9% higher than that in 2008, as a consequence of an increase in expenses related to sales campaigns, the effect of inflation on expenses and an increase in variable compensation, partially offset by expense reduction initiatives implemented. Sales, general and administrative expenses at Ipiranga (including employees statutory interest) totaled R$ 1,068.2 million, a 54% increase over 2008, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco, including R$ 68.8 million non-recurring expenses with (i) the conversion of service stations from the acquired network to the Ipiranga brand (R$ 31.3 million) and (ii) the integration of operations (R$ 37.5 million). Excluding these non-recurring expenses and the depreciation, Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 48/m³ of product sold in the post-acquisition period (from the second quarter of 2009 onwards), lower than the R$ 50/m³ level in 2008, reflecting the implementation of the operational and administrative synergies plan, particularly after the integration of Texaco’s information technology systems with Ipiranga’s and Ultrapar’s completed in August 2009. Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 267.6 million, a 9% increase over 2008, primarily as a result of increased freight expenses resulting from higher sales volume and the effect of a weaker real on international freights. This increase was partly offset by expense reduction initiatives implemented, resulting in a 2% increase of administrative expenses, which is lower than the inflation rate in the period. Ultracargo’s sales, general

and administrative expenses amounted to R$ 90 million in 2009, a 2% decrease from 2008, despite the 37% increase in effective storage, on the back of the realization of operational synergies resulting from the integration of União Terminais and of lower expenses in the transportation segment.
Depreciation and amortization
Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 2009 amounted to R$ 439.3 million, a R$ 64 million increase over 2008, due to the addition of the depreciation resulting from (i) the acquisitions of União Terminais and Texaco, (ii) Oxiteno’s expanded operations from the forth quarter of 2008 onwards, and (iii) investments in new and in the conversion of unbranded service stations at Ipiranga.
Operational profit
Ultrapar’s operational profit amounted to R$ 935.4 million in 2009, a 29% increase over 2008, mainly due to the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards.
Financial result
Ultrapar reported net financial expenses of R$ 278.2 million in 2009, R$ 109 million higher than that of 2008. The increase in net financial expense in 2009 reflects an increase of Ultrapar’s net debt, which increased from R$ 1,538.3 million at the end of 2008 to R$ 2,059.6 million at the end of 2009, as a result of acquisitions carried out, particularly the disbursement related to the acquisition of Texaco in March, and investments in organic expansion.
Ultrapar ended the fiscal year 2009 with a gross debt of R$ 4,342.8 million, resulting in a net debt of R$ 2,059.6 million, 34% higher than the Company’s net debt position at the end of 2008, but 20% lower than the net debt on March 31st, 2009, the date of the payment for the acquisition of Texaco.
Net earnings
Consolidated net earnings amounted to R$ 466.7 million in 2009, 20% higher than that reported in 2008, as a consequence of the 25% increase in EBITDA at Ultrapar, partly offset by the increase in net debt and depreciation.

Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA amounted to R$ 1,354.4 million in 2009, a 25% growth over 2008, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards and the EBITDA growth at Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Ultragaz’s EBITDA totaled R$ 281.4 million, up 34% over the previous year, as a result of a recovery in margins, mainly deriving from commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented. Ipiranga reported EBITDA of R$ 777.5 million in 2009, an increase of 29% over 2008, mainly as a consequence of the consolidation of Texaco from the second quarter of 2009 onwards. Excluding the R$ 68.8 million expenses with the conversion of service stations and integration of operations, Ipiranga’s EBITDA reached R$ 846.3 million in 2009, equivalent to an EBITDA unit margin of R$ 49/m³, already close to the EBITDA unit margin of R$ 50/m³ in 2008. Oxiteno reported EBITDA of R$ 144.8 million, a 31% decrease over 2008, mainly as a consequence of historical costs of goods sold higher than replacement costs until the third quarter of 2009. Oxiteno estimates that the effect of the difference between historical and replacement costs was R$ 78 million in 2009. Ultracargo’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 104.8 million, a 107% growth over 2008, as a consequence of (i) the consolidation of União Terminais from the forth quarter of 2008 onwards and the resulting operational synergies, (ii) the expansions of the Aratu terminal and (iii) an increase in the volume of products handled at the Suape terminal. In 2009, Ultracargo’s EBITDA margin reached 31%, higher than the 18% margin reported in 2008.

a. | Company’s operating results, especially:

i. | description of major components of revenues

More than 90% of consolidated net revenues of Ultrapar is generated by the fuel and LPG distribution businesses. Therefore, the main components of these revenues come from diesel, gasoline and ethanol sales by Ipiranga and from LPG sales by Ultragaz.

LPG business
Between 2003 and 2007, LPG prices charged to LPG distributors in Brazil have been stable, despite increases in oil and LPG prices in the international markets, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the real compared to the U.S. dollar, reducing the difference between LPG prices in Brazil and in the international markets. However, in 2008 Petrobras increased LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 15% in January, an additional 10% in April and 6% in July. In January 2010, Petrobras increased once more the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 6%. The LPG refinery price for residential use remained unchanged since May 2003. In the last few years, Petrobras had as a practice not to immediately reflect in the Brazilian market the volatility of international prices of oil and its derivatives. We cannot guarantee that this trend will continue. Any sharp increase in LPG prices charged to LPG distributors could have an impact on Ultragaz’s results if it is unable to maintain its operational margins or sales volume.
LPG bulk sales are correlated to economic growth, thus an acceleration or deceleration in the Brazilian GDP growth can affect our sales volume, once this segment represents about 30% of the volume sold by Ultragaz. The bottled LPG is an essential good and, therefore, it has a low correlation with economic performance.
Chemical and petrochemical business
The specialty chemicals volume in the Brazilian market is correlated to economic growth and therefore an acceleration or deceleration in the Brazilian GDP growth can affect our sales volume, as Oxiteno’s specialty chemicals sales in Brazil represented 65% of its total sales in 2010. By the end of 2008, Oxiteno completed certain capacity expansions that, together with the conclusion of the expansion of 70 thousand tons per year of the ethoxylation unit in Camaçari in 2010, resulted in an increase in exports sales and hence in the portion of its volume sold in outside Brazil. As the Brazilian market grows, Oxiteno aims at increasing the volume sold in the domestic market once the logistics costs are usually lower than logistics cost of sales outside Brazil. Additionally, Oxiteno is currently investing in capacity expansion in the ethylene oxide unit at Camaçari, Bahia, that will add 90 thousand tons/year to the current capacity, which will likely provide higher production flexibility and increase the volume sold.

A large portion of Oxiteno’s products prices are linked to U.S. dollar. Therefore, a sharp appreciation or depreciation could have an impact on Oxiteno’s revenues in the future. Since September 2008, the worsening of the global financial crisis led to a sharp reduction in the flow of capital to Brazil, reversing the real appreciation trend in place since 2003. However, during the following quarters, measures adopted by the Brazilian government to minimize the impacts of the crisis started to reflect on the economy, driving the inflow of foreign investments in the country, thus contributing to a 25% appreciation of the Brazilian currency against the U.S. dollar in 2009 - the highest appreciation in the decade, closing the year at a rate of R$ 1.74/US$. In 2010, the effects of the strong economic growth in Brazil, together with the public offering of Petrobras in the third quarter, resulted in a record of foreign investments inflow to Brazil of US$ 48 billion, contributing to a 12% appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar, which ended the year at R$ 1.67/US$. From December 31st, 2010 to March 24th, 2011, the Brazilian real appreciated 0.4% against the U.S. dollar. We cannot predict whether the real will keep this trend.
Oxiteno’s main raw material is the ethylene, which is produced from naphtha in Brazil. Naphtha prices in Brazil fluctuate with oil prices, which sharply decreased in the international markets in late 2008. However, in 2009, the initiatives adopted by several governments to minimize the effects of the crisis also contributed to the beginning of the economic recovery of certain countries, specially the emerging markets, with a recovery of the demand for commodities and a consequent upward trend in their prices, notably oil, which closed the year quoted at US$ 75 per barrel, an 80% increase compared with its 2008 closing price. In 2010, the slow 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 forth quarter of 2010 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 rising oil prices, which accumulated an 18% growth during the period and ended the year quoted at US$ 92/barrel, up 23% from 2009. From December 31st, 2010 to March 24th, 2011, oil prices increased by 22%. We cannot predict whether oil and ethylene prices will keep this trend. A sharp variation in ethylene prices could have an impact on Oxiteno’s results of operations if it is unable to maintain its operational margins.
The increase in demand for chemical and petrochemical products in Brazil during the last years and the ongoing integration of regional and world markets have contributed to the increasing integration of the Brazilian petrochemical industry into the international petrochemical marketplace. As a consequence, events affecting the petrochemical industry worldwide could have a material effect on our business and results of operations. The chemical industry performance worldwide was strongly affected by the world financial crisis in 2009, which caused the demand for chemical products to decrease in several countries. Due to the faster recovery of the Brazilian economy, Oxiteno faced tougher competition from certain foreign producers in 2009.
Fuels distribution
In the recent past, the combined sales of gasoline, ethanol and natural gas in Brazil have been correlated to the growth of light vehicle fleet. In 2009, as part of the Brazilian government plan to mitigate the effects of global financial crisis, some measures were implemented to incentivize the economic activity, such as the federal Excise Tax on Manufactured Products (IPI) tax break on durable goods. Such measures, associated with a gradual recovery of credit availability, resulted in a positive response from certain sectors of economy, notably the automotive industry, which in 2009 reported another sales record with more than 3 million vehicles licensed, leading to an estimated fleet increase of 8% in the year. In 2010, despite the removal of tax breaks to the automotive industry in March 2010, the number of licensed vehicles reached a new record level of 3.3 million vehicles, 11% growth over 2009. In December 2010, aiming at inflation control, the Brazilian government announced measures to limit the availability of credit. From December 31st, 2010 to February 28th, 2011, the number of licensed vehicles increased 18% compared with the same period of the previous year. Additionally, the current ratio of inhabitants per vehicle in Brazil is still low when compared to the rate seen in countries with similar level of development. According to 2008 data released by ANFAVEA, last available data, the penetration of light vehicles in Brazil is about 14% of total inhabitants, while in Argentina is 21% and in Mexico is 25%. Diesel sales, which in 2010 accounted for approximately 55% of the volume sold by Ipiranga, have historically been correlated with the economic performance. In 2010, the Brazilian diesel market, according to ANP data, presented strong growth of 11%, but with decreasing growth rates over the quarters, similar to the Brazilian GDP trajectory. The increase in fuels consumption could have a positive effect on the future volume sold by the Company and on its results, but we cannot guarantee that this trend will continue.

In the last few years, Petrobras had as a practice not to immediately reflect in the Brazilian market the volatility of international prices of oil and its derivatives. We cannot guarantee that this trend will continue. From September 2005 to May 2008, gasoline and diesel prices remained unchanged. In May 2008, Petrobras increased diesel and gasoline prices by 15% and 10%, respectively, in order to adjust internal prices for the successive increases in international oil prices. The Brazilian government simultaneously announced a reduction in CIDE tax over these products, fully offsetting the gasoline price increase and partially offsetting the diesel price increase. However, with the worsening of the global financial crisis and the consequent slowdown in the global economy, prices of commodities fell sharply, and the gasoline and diesel prices in the foreign markets, during the first half of 2009, remained lower than those charged in Brazil. In June 2009, Petrobras reduced diesel and gasoline prices by 15% and 4.5%, respectively, and the Brazilian government simultaneously announced an increase in CIDE tax over these products. As a result of CIDE’s decreases, the increase in the prices charged to the distributors was partially offset to diesel and fully offset to gasoline. We cannot guarantee that this trend will continue.
Effects of inflation over our operational costs and expenses
Ultrapar’s operational costs and expenses are substantially in reais, thus are influenced by the general price levels in the Brazilian economy. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, the variation of IPCA (Consumer Prices Index), the index adopted by the Brazilian government to set inflation targets, was 5.9%, 4.3% and 5.9%, respectively. From December 31st, 2010 to February 28th, 2011, the variation of IPCA was 1.6%.
Financial Result
The main macroeconomic factors that influence the financial results of Ultrapar are the foreign exchange and interest rates.
Foreign exchange rate
Most operations of Ultrapar 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 Ultrapar and its subsidiaries to changes in exchange rates. Ultrapar considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno. Ultrapar and its subsidiaries use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on their results and cash flows in reais, within the exposure limits set by its financial resources, tools and risks management 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 31st, 2010 and December 31st, 2009:

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency

Net asset (liability) position – Total |  |  | (155.4 | ) |  |  | (35.0 | )

¹ Amount disclosed due to its magnitude and to RPR having independent financial management. The net asset position as of December 31st, 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.
Interest Rate
The financial investments of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries are primarily held in transactions linked to the Interbank Certificate of Deposit – “CDI”. Funding primarily results from financing from BNDES and other development agencies, debentures substantially indexed to the TJLP and to CDI, respectively, and funds raised in foreign currency. Ultrapar does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial assets and liabilities at floating rates. On December 31st, 2010, Ultrapar and its subsidiaries had financial instruments of interest-rate derivatives linked to domestic loans, swapping fixed interest rate of certain loans to floating rate.

10.5. | Comments on the Company’s critical accounting policies

The presentation of our financial condition and results of operations requires our management to make judgments regarding the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and may affect the reported amount of them as well as our revenues and expenses. The financial statements include estimates related mainly to, among others, (i) determining the fair value of financial instruments (notes 4 and 20 of our financial statements), (ii) the determination of provisions for income taxes (note 9), (iii) the useful life of property, plants and equipments (note 12), (iv) recovery value of long-lived assets (note 13), (v) provisions for tax, civil and labor liabilities (note 21) and (vi) estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (note 22). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimated under different variables, assumptions or conditions, even though our management believes that its accounting estimates are reasonable. The following paragraphs review the critical accounting estimates that management considers most important for understanding our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. An accounting estimate is considered a critical accounting estimate if it meets the following criteria:

· | The accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made; and

· | Different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have identified the following five of our accounting policies as critical:
Allowance for doubtful accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in an amount we consider sufficient to cover any probable losses on realization of our accounts receivable from our customers, as well as other receivables, and is included as selling expenses; no adjustment is made to net sales and services revenue. In order to establish the allowance for doubtful accounts, our management constantly evaluates the amount and characteristics of our accounts receivable. When significant delays occur and the likelihood of receiving these payments decreases, a provision is made. In case receivables in arrears are guaranteed or there are reasonable grounds to believe they will be paid, no provision is made. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required in future periods. However, because we cannot predict with certainty the future financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our reserves will continue to be adequate. Actual credit losses may be greater than the allowance registered, which could have a significant impact on our selling expenses.
Deferred income tax and social contribution
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities which do not expire, arising from tax loss carryforwards, temporary add-backs, revaluation of property, plants and equipment and mainly the effects from the transition tax regime. We periodically review the deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance, as required, based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. In the event we or one of our subsidiaries operate at a loss or are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we evaluate the need to establish a valuation allowance against all or a significant portion of our deferred tax assets, resulting in an increase in our effective tax rate, thereby decreasing net income. A high degree of management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance. The principal uncertainty relates to the likelihood of future taxable income from the subsidiary that generated the deferred tax asset. A change in our projections of profitability could result in the need to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, resulting in a negative impact of future results.
Contingent liabilities.

We are currently involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings that arise from our ordinary course of business. We believe that the extent to which these contingencies are recognized in our consolidated financial statements is adequate. It is our policy to record accrued liabilities in regard to contingencies when the probability of an existing obligation is considered more likely than not to occur in the opinion of our management, based on information available to the Company, including information obtained from our internal and external legal advisors. Future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, by the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings, by future developments relating to the contingencies or by changes in their approach, such as a change in the strategy of dealing with these matters.
Fair value of financial instruments
Our financial instruments are classified as follows:

· | 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 intention 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 were not classified into other categories. The interest earned is recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recorded in a specific account of the shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of prepayment.

· | Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed payments or determinable payments not quoted in active markets, except for: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the short term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through income; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those the holder of which cannot substantially recover its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Certain derivative financial instruments used to hedge against changes in interest rates were designated as cash flow hedges for purposes of measuring their fair value. In the case of derivatives designed to cash flow hedge of the variation in interest rates, the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its value plus interest earned is recognized as a valuation adjustment in shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement. In the case of foreign exchange derivatives designated by subsidiary RPR for protection 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 derivative and updated cost is recognized directly in the income of the subsidiary. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income, in case of prepayment.
In order to estimate fair values, we consider several variables, such as interest rates, discount rates, foreign exchange rates and future cash flows. Our most important sources of information concerning these variables are the market projections of future exchange and interest rates provided by the BM&FBovespa. We believe BM&FBovespa to be the most adequate and reliable source of information available for our calculations. However, given the volatility inherent in financial markets, estimates concerning the variables used to calculate fair values are subject to constant change. As a consequence, our judgment related to, among other issues, the behavior of these variables, the selection of sources of information and the timing of calculation, directly affects the fair values of our financial instruments and the amount of gains or losses recorded in the income statement. Additional information regarding fair value of financial instruments is available in notes 4, 14 and 20 of Ultrapar’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2010, filed with the CVM on February 24th, 2011.
Pension and other post-retirement benefits
Ultrapar and its subsidiaries offer their employees a defined contribution pension plan, managed by Ultraprev — Associação de Previdência Complementar. Under the terms of the plan, the basic contribution of each participating employee is defined annually by the participant between 0% and

11% of his or her salary. The sponsoring companies provide a matching contribution to the basic contribution. As participants retire, they may opt to receive monthly: (i) a percentage varying between 0.5% and 1.0% of the fund accumulated in their names at Ultraprev, or (ii) a fixed amount that will extinguish the fund accumulated in their names in a period between 5 and 25 years. As such, neither Ultrapar nor its subsidiaries assume responsibility for guaranteeing amounts or periods of benefits for the participants that retire.
Ultrapar 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 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.
Significant actuarial assumptions adopted include:
Economic Factors
• Discount rate for the actuarial obligation at present value - 10.29% per annum
• Average projected salary growth rate - 6.32% per annum
• Inflation rate (long term) - 4.24% per annum
• Growth rate of medical services - 8.41% per annum
Demographic factors
• Mortality Table - AT 2000 Basic decreased by 10% (*)
• Disabled Mortality Table - RRB 1983
• Disability Table - RRB 1944 modified
(*) CSO-80 mortality table was used for the life insurance benefit.

10.6. | Discussion on internal controls adopted to ensure the formulation of accurate financial statements

a. | Level of efficiency of such controls, indicating any potential misstatements and measures to correct them

Ultrapar is a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with Level III ADRs, and maintains its internal controls standards in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Ultrapar’s management annually evaluates the internal controls over financial reporting under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer or CEO and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO. Management evaluates the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the criteria set out in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) framework. Based on those criteria, our management believes that our internal controls over financial reporting are adequate and effective, providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.

(1) | The estimated payment amount was calculated based on a 4% inflation assumption.

(2) | Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply contract with Braskem, which establishes a minimum quarterly consumption level of ethylene and establishing conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. Under the terms of this agreement, Oxiteno is currently required to purchase at least 190 thousand tons this year and from 2012 will have to purchase at least 220 thousand tons. After the conclusion of the ethylene oxide production capacity expansion at Oxiteno’s Camaçari plant in 2011, Braskem will be required to supply Oxiteno with at least 235,000 tons of ethylene per year until 2021. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine of 40% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased. The minimum purchase commitment clause is in renegotiation with Braskem. On August 1st, 2008, Oxiteno S.A. signed an Ethylene Supply Agreement with Quattor, valid until 2023, which establishes and regulates the conditions for supply of ethylene to Oxiteno based on the international market for this product. The minimum purchase is 19,800 tons of ethylene semiannually. In case of breach of the minimum purchase commitment, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 30% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall.

(3) | The purchase obligation relates to long-term contracts under which Oxiteno is required to purchase a minimum amount of energy annually.

(4) | Tequimar contracts with Companhia de Docas do Estado da Bahia and with Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros, in connection with its port facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such contracts establish a minimum cargo movement of products of 1,000,000 tons per year in Aratu, effective through 2022 and 250,000 tons per year in Suape, effective through 2027. With the acquisition of the assets of Puma, Tequimar assumed another contract with the Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros, which establishes an additional minimum cargo movement of products of 400,000 tons per year in Suape, until 2029. If the annual movement is less than the minimum contractual movement, the subsidiary is liable to pay the difference between the effective movement and the minimum contractual movement based on the port tariff rates on the date established for payment. As of December 31st, 2010, these rates were R$ 5.79 for Aratu and R$ 1.38 for Suape. The Company has been in compliance with the minimum movement of products since the inception of the contracts

(5) | Corresponds to a franchise contract with am/pm under which Ipiranga is required to pay minimum royalty fees until 2015.

Additionally, our subsidiaries have provided guarantees to financial institutions related to amounts owed to those institutions by certain of their customers (vendor financing). There exists no recourse provision that would enable us or our subsidiaries to recover any amount paid to the financial institutions under these guarantees. In the event that the financial institutions exercise these guarantees, we are entitled to recover the amount paid directly from our customers under the vendor contracts. As of December 31st, 2010, Ultrapar and its subsidiaries did not record any losses related to these guarantees.

10.10. | Discussion on the main elements of the issuer’s business plan

a. | investments:

i. | Quantitative and qualitative description of the investments in progress and the estimated 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 July 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 first quarter of 2011.
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.

ii. | Sources of financing investments

For further details on the sources of financing investments see “Item 10.1.d. Sources for financing working capital and investments in non-current assets” e “Item 10.1.e. Sources for financing working capital and investments in non-current assets to be used to in case of deficiencies in liquidity”.

iii. | Relevant disposals in process and forecasted disposals

None.

b. | Disclosed acquisitions of plants, equipment, patents or other assets that may materially affect the issuer’s production capacity

At Oxiteno, investment plan for 2011 includes R$ 87 million for expansion projects, mainly to the conclusion of the ethylene oxide unit at Camaçari, which will add 90 thousand tons/year.
In October 2010, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of DNP. DNP distributes fuels in the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima, Acre, Pará and Mato Grosso through a network of 110 service stations and has 4% market share in the Northern region of Brazil, being the fourth largest fuel distributor in this area. The addition of DNP increased the volume of Ipiranga by 40% in the region and resulted in a regional market share of 14%, consolidating Ipiranga as the second largest fuel distributor in the region and allowing a better positioning to capture the fast-paced growth in the region and additional benefits on the back of the larger operating scale.

c. | New products and services:

Oxiteno carries on a wide range of research and development activities, principally related to the application of specialty chemicals and improvements in production processes. As of December 31st, 2010, 102 employees of Oxiteno were engaged in research and development and engineering activities. Oxiteno’s research and development expenditures in 2010 were R$ 18.8 million. In 2004, Oxiteno founded its own “Science and Technology Council” with six of the world’s major specialists in surfactants being members. With experience in the surfactant industry or in the academic environment, having worked in the US, Europe and Latin America, these specialists follow the tendencies and opportunities in the sector. The council, currently composed of five specialists, meets once a year in September in São Paulo, when deeply analyses Oxiteno’s research and development project portfolio, as well as the management methodology applied. Valuable recommendations allow Oxiteno to improve its research and development activities’ efficiency, as well as broadening the reach of it alliances with foreign institutions. In December 2005, Oxiteno signed a contract with PMD – Project Management and Development Co., or PMD, a private Saudi-Arabian company with their head-office in the industrial city of Al Jubail, for the license of technologies for the production of ethanolamines and ethoxylates. The technologies licensed by Oxiteno will be used in the petrochemical complex located in Al Jubail, currently being built by PMD. The plants that will use the Oxiteno technologies will have a production capacity of 100,000 tons/year of ethanolamines and 40,000 tons/year of ethoxylates.
Oxiteno’s investments in research and development have resulted in the introduction of 41 new products during the last three years. Oxiteno will continue to invest in research and development focused on developing new product applications to meet clients’ needs.
Ipiranga constantly develops specific initiatives for each segment in which it operates, such as the offering of supply and technical support at large clients’ facilities. In the urban service stations segment, the wide range of non-fuel products and services and the constant pursue of excellence have being contributing significantly to the increase in the number of consumers and the client-loyalty for its service stations. In addition to fueling its vehicles the consumer can also shop at am/pm convenience stores and at Ipirangashop.com and enjoy other services provided in many service stations of Ipiranga’s network. In another pioneering initiative in the fuels market, Ipiranga developed in 2009 the Km de Vantagens, a program to encourage the loyalty of clients and resellers through rewards and other benefits. After a little more than one year from its launching, the program reached more than 5.5 clients by the end of 2010. 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. Another recent very successful initiative was the launching of Jet Oil Motos, first specialized lubricant oil changing and service network to serve an increasing motorcycle fleet that nearly doubled in five years.

Ultrapar’s compensation policy and practices aim at short and long-term alignment with the interests of shareholders. Short-term and long-term variable compensation, which is a material portion of the overall compensation, is linked to economic value added targets, what is the main interest of shareholders. Variable compensation also strengthens the focus of the executives to the adherence to the strategic growth plan approved by the Board of Directors, with short-term compensation being linked to annual goals of value generation and long-term compensation being directly linked to the evolution of the Company’s market value. The stock ownership plan turns executives into shareholders of the Company and is a strong additional element for aligning long-term interests.
