Initial considerations

n This appraisal report (“Report” or “Valuation Report”) was prepared by Deutsche Bank as requested by Ultrapar

n The Report observes the requirements imposed by Brazilian Securities Regulation, in particular Rule #361/02 of the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”). Ultrapar requested this Report to be used in connection with (i) the mandatory tender offers related to the acquisition by Ultrapar of the control of Ipiranga Group, and (ii) the incorporation of CBPI, DPPI and RIPI shares in Ultrapar

Executive summary Section 1

Scope of Deutsche Bank’s analysis

The objective of this Valuation Report is to present economic valuations of both Ultrapar and Ipiranga Group in accordance with the criteria defined as mandatory by the CVM

Under the CVM Rule #361/02, Deutsche Bank has conducted an analysis using the following methodologies and assumptions:

n Economic value based on discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis for the main operating companies and comparable multiples for some smaller operating subsidiaries

– Based on publicly available information and discussions with management of Ultrapar and Ipiranga

n Market value based on average share prices weighted by traded volume

– Average share price weighted by traded volume during the last twelve months ended March 16, 2007 (last trading day pre-announcement)

n Book value of the shares

– Based on Ultrapar and Ipiranga’s audited financial statements as of December 31,2006

Among the different valuation methodologies presented in this Valuation Report, Deutsche Bank believes that economic value based on DCF and comparable multiples is the most applicable methodology for valuing Ultrapar and Ipiranga

Economic value - methodologies for different business lines
Discounted cash flow	Codename	WACC	Public company comparables	Codename
Companhia Brasileira de Petróleo Ipiranga	CBPI	12.2%	Ipiranga Química S.A.	IQ
Distribuidora de Prod. de Petróleo Ipiranga	DPPI	12.3%	Empresa Carioca de Prod. Químicos S.A.	EMCA
Copesul Central Química	Copesul	11.2%	Ipiranga Asfaltos	IASA

Executive summary Section 1

Conducting the economic valuation

The three main economic valuation methodologies used were: Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”), comparable public companies’ multiples and comparable precedent transaction multiples

	Discounted Cash Flow - DCF Analysis	Comparable Public Company Analysis	Comparable Precedent Transaction Analysis
Methodology	Un-levered projections of cash flow to the firm Terminal value calculation based on perpetuity growth (Gordon’s growth model) or exit multiple Cash flow and terminal value discounted by a discount rate that corresponds to the Company’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”)	Identification of listed companies that are comparable to the business being assessed Calculation of value (TEV or equity) as a multiple of value drivers (sales, Ebitda, earnings, etc.) Multiples of value are applied to the corresponding value driver of the Company being assessed	Identification of transactions involving companies with comparable activities Calculation of the implied multiples of value in those transactions Multiples of value are applied to the corresponding value driver of the Company being assessed
Potential advantages	Estimates the intrinsic value of the Company Valuation takes into consideration the risk-return profile of the investment, and can be adjusted for the country risk Takes into consideration the company’s capital structure More flexibility to incorporate expected changes in the business profile such as change in product mix, capacity expansion, etc.	In efficient markets, it properly reflects the market consensus of value of a given industry Reflects historical performance and industry trends	Reflects the implied value of transactions in a given industry
Potential disadvantages	Subject to different view of the Company’s future generation of cash and risk Uncertainties of longer forecasts	Difficulty to identify companies that are comparable to the asset being assessed Does not reflect differences among the companies such as capital structure, profitability, management, etc Results can be affected by adverse situations not linked to valuation (macroeconomic, political, etc.)	Difficulty to identify companies/ transactions that are comparable Characteristics of the transaction might affect valuation such as competitiveness of the sale process, estimated synergies of the potential buyer, defensive play, etc It does not reflect the differences among the companies’ potential returns Limited public information available
Considerations	Maximum flexibility to incorporate in the valuation several value drivers such as discount rate (driven by capital structure, country risk, cost of equity), perpetuity growth and expected performance (as opposed to historical performance)	Limited sample in the local market requires evaluator to expand to different markets (normally with different characteristics) Does not incorporate specific nature of the company being assessed Based on historical performance, it incorporates market trend	Limited sample
Notes: (1) TEV - Total Enterprise Value = Equity plus Net debt.

n Research reports prepared by different areas of Deutsche Bank may utilize different assumptions with respect to the future performance of Ultrapar and Ipiranga than those used in the Valuation Report, and thus potentially present significantly different conclusions with respect to valuation. Those different areas at Deutsche Bank are independent to the Corporate Finance and Mergers and Acquisitions department that was responsible for the elaboration of this Report. Those different areas have their own sources of information and a different assessment about what they make available to the public in the form of publications, and there is no communication between the professionals involved in the elaboration of this report and the professionals of those different areas. Deutsche Bank has strict internal policies regarding the segregation of public and private areas at the bank and monitoring the information flow between them in order to guarantee that both areas operate independently

n In compliance with the resolution CVM #361/02, Deutsche Bank states that as of April 4, 2007:

– In May 2006, Deutsche Bank received R$2,673,760.50 net of taxes from Petrobras for the advisory and structuring services rendered in connection with the acquisition of ABB's stake in Termobahia. Deutsche Bank did not receive any other fees from Ultrapar, Braskem or Petrobras in connection with financial advisory, consulting or auditing services, or any other investment banking services over the past 12 months

Valuation considerations

The companies were valued on a stand-alone basis

The valuation of each asset excludes any potential synergies that could be achieved as a result of the transaction

DCF
n	Basic assumptions
	–	10-year projections
	–	Base date of DCF valuation is December 31, 2006
	–	Exchange rate of 2.1385 R$/US$ as of 12/31/2006
	–	Models projected in nominal Brazilian Reais; cash flows were converted to US Dollars based on average exchange rate for the year
	–	WACC in nominal US Dollars
	–	To discount the annual cash flow to the present value, it considers that cash flow is generated in the middle of the year (in June)1
n	Perpetuity
	–	Calculated based on Gordon’s growth formula
	–	Adjustments to capex/ depreciation, tax rates, net operating working capital
	–	Petrochemical companies: perpetuity cash flow adjusted for mid-cycle

Selected income statement drivers

Oxiteno is currently in the process of increasing its capacity (expected to be fully operational in 2009)

Oxiteno’s strategy is to meet Brazil’s demand for specialties (expected to grow twice as fast as GDP)

Specialties prices are constant in US Dollars and commodities prices are based on CMAI projections in US Dollars

31

Economic value of assets Section 3

Assumptions - Oxiteno (continued)

Selected income statement drivers

Revenue forecast reflects the capacity expansion and change in production mix

Sales are expected to shift over-time from commodities to specialties and from exports to the domestic market

The production shift to specialties diminishes the cyclicality of the EBITDA margin

⁵ CBPI has the objective of increasing its market share, which is deemed feasible by its management. This assumption was verified in a confirmatory due diligence session, and corroborated by the fact that CBPI gained 2 (two) percentage points of market share between 2001 and 2005, according to the National Petroleum Agency, ANP. However, the market consultant indicated that in order to gain 2 (two) percentage points market share in the coming years, it would demand stronger capex and higher marketing expenses to support this growth. It is expected that CBPI’s market share will stabilize at 18.9% after 2012, when CBPI sales will grow at the market pace, around 8% per year. A scenario in which sales would grow above this pace and therefore resulting in further market share increase would demand significant investments and is inconsistent with the expected increasing competition in the long term, considering a market dominated by 5 main players (which now control about 70% of the market) and numerous other players

Assumptions – DPPI distribution

Gas and alcohol volumes in the Brazilian market were forecasted based on a regression on number of cars in Brazil as a function of GDP per capita, and consumption per car

Diesel volumes in the Brazilian market were projected as a result of a regression on diesel volumes in Brazil on GDP growth 

Given its leadership in the region, DPPI presents little market share fluctuation

DPPI’s market share remains approximately constant because DPPI is a leader in the region in which it operates – Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina – with an already high 35% (thirty-five percent) market share. Nationally, DPPI reduced its market share from 2.9% in 2001 to 2.6% in 2005 according to the National Petroleum Agency – ANP. As per the recommendation of the market consultant, which was validated on confirmatory due diligence session with DPPI’s management, DPPI would tend to maintain its market share given DPPI’s dominant position in the region, or even lose some market participation to competition in line with the company’s recent performance.

Brazilian fuel distribution industry

Ipiranga and Petrobras (BR) are the leading players in the Brazilian fuel distribution market

Changes in the regulatory framework benefited the independent (no brand) players

Summary

n   According to ANP, total consumption of fuel, including diesel, gasoline, and alcohol reached 67 million m³ in 2006

–        Consumption of fuel has reached an average annual growth rate of 1.4% in the last 5 years (0.9% growth for diesel, 1.2% for gasoline, and 6.7% for alcohol)

n   Consumption of the three main fuel products (gasoline, alcohol, and diesel) grows as the number of cars grows. Ethanol-fueled vehicles are expected to post the highest growth rate, due to the large number of flexible fuel (flex-fuel) cars entering the market

n   The fuel distribution industry in Brazil has significant growth potential based on the expected growth of the Brazilian economy, and the relatively high number of inhabitants per car observed in Brazil compared to other countries

n   Foreign players have been relatively conservative in regards to their expansion plans, while some have already exited the country. In contrast, Ipiranga and BR are committed to increase their market share and expand their national footprint

Comments

n   The Brazilian petrochemical industry is organized into first, second, and third generation producers based on the stage of raw material processing

–      1^st generation producers convert naphtha into basic petrochemicals

–      2^nd generation producers process basic petrochemicals into intermediate products

–      3^rd generation producers transform intermediate products into final products

n   The Brazilian petrochemical industry is the largest in Latin America, but suffers from the lack of integration between businesses and the dependence on imports of raw materials such as naphtha

n   Petrobras and its subsidiaries are attempting to diminish Brazilian dependence on petrochemical imports through investment projects involving petroleum, gas, and naphtha

n   Brazil’s major petrochemical production centers are located in Camaçari, Triunfo, and Cubatão. Two large investment projects are located in Rio de Janeiro (Comperi) and in Pernambuco (Abreu e Lima), with operations expected to begin in 2012

n   According to BMI, the main companies operating in Brazil include Braskem, Copesul, Petroquímica União, Rio Polímeros, Ultrapar, Politeno, and Dow Química

Brazilian LPG distribution industry

Summary

n   In 2006, Brazilian LPG market sales totaled 6.5 million tons. 87% was produced in Brazil and the balance was imported

n   Primary use of LPG:

–   Bottled: Cooking (historically around 70% of sales)

–   Bulk: Cooking and heating in shopping malls, hotels, residences, hospitals, and industrial centers

n   Petrobras is responsible for all national production of LPG (87% of national consumption). LPG is transported from Petrobras storage facilities via pipelines and trucks to the LPG distributors, who then sell it in the retail market

n   The market for LPG is considered mature with moderate growth potential, dependent on economic growth (which will lead consumers to substitute firewood for LPG)

n   Market competition is largely based on brand positioning, customer service, and the efficiency of logistics and distribution

Corporate tax rate (IR+CS)

When applicable, as in the cases of Copesul, CBPI, and DPPI, the projections were based on the average effective corporate tax rate over the past 3 years as shown in the tables that follow. This assumption was validated by the management of the companies in confirmatory due diligence performed by Deutsche Bank

For IPQ, in addition to the company’s historical data, the projections were based on our assessment for companies in this sector. An effective tax rate of 25% for the coming years was considered adequate by the management of IPQ in confirmatory due diligence

Ultrapar

Our analysis uses a sub-optimal capital structure of 35% debt, 65% equity, based on the capital structure observed in a sample of companies* that include those with a sub-optimal capital structure, in line with the recent practice by Ultrapar of maintaining low financial leverage

Notes:

(*) For example: petrochemical companies (Braskem, Suzano Petroquimico, Petroquimica União) and gas distributors (Amerigas Partners LP, Ferrellgas Partners LP, Buckeye Partners LP, Enbridge Energy Partners LP, Enterprise Product Partners LP, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP, Magellan Midstream Partners LP, Plains All American Pipeline LP, Crosstex Energy LP, Copano Energy LLC)

n   Fuel distribution: considering a capital structure based on the same sample used for the beta, it would result in a 12.7% WACC for CBPI and 12.7% WACC for DPPI. We considered more appropriate to use a more refined sample excluding the companies Casey’s and Alimentation Couche, which have sub-optimal capital structures (less than 20% debt), that resulted in a 12.2% WACC for CBPI and 12.3% WACC for DPPI

n   Petrochemical: considering a capital structure based on the same sample used for the beta, it would result in a 11.7% WACC for Copesul and a 12.0% WACC for IPQ. We considered more appropriate to use a more refined sample excluding the companies Copesul, BASF, and Nova Chemicals, which have sub-optimal capital structures (below 20% debt and above 70% debt), that resulted in a 11.2% WACC for Copesul and 11.8% WACC for IPQ

n   For Ultrapar, we observed the debt to capital ratio of other companies with the same underlying operations as Ultrapar⁸, such as for example: petrochemical companies (Braskem, Suzano Petroquimica, Petroquimica União) and LPG distributors (Amerigas Partners LP, Ferrellgas Partners LP, Buckeye Partners LP, Enbridge Energy Partners LP, Enterprise Product Partners LP, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP, Magellan Midstream Partners LP, Plains All American Pipeline LP, Crosstex Energy Inc., Crosstex Energy LP, Copano Energy LLC). We have not excluded companies whose capital structure were sub-optimal in line with Ultrapar’s management preference for a low financial leverage

⁸ For example, the average of the betas of the referenced companies is 0.53, below the beta of 0.64 implicit for Ultrapar under the utilized assumptions (pg. 24). We consider the observed beta for Ultrapar to be

more appropriate than the average of the comparable companies within similar operations. The betas for each company are: Braskem (0.76), Suzano Petroquimica (0.36), Petroquimica União (0.42), Amerigas Partners LP (0.24), Ferrellgas Partners LP (0.11), Buckeye Partners LP (0.42), Enbridge Energy Partners LP (0.32), Enterprise Product Partners LP (0.54), Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP (0.34), Magellan idstream Partners LP (0.51), Plains All American Pipeline (0.47), Crosstex Energy Inc.

Brazilian fuel market

The volume of fuel (alcohol and gasoline only) was calculated by multiplying the number of cars in Brazil (based in the regression of number of cars versus the GDP per capita) by the estimated average consumption of fuel for each type of vehicle

The average fuel consumption was estimated to be approximately 1.23 m³/year for gasoline-based vehicles, and approximately 1.75m³/year for vehicles that consume alcohol, based on the different energy content of alcohol and gasoline

The Discounted Cash Flow depicted on page 40 of this Report is in US dollar in contrast to the chart on page 44 that is in Brazilian Reais

In general, all investments in the distribution network are equally shared between CBPI and the dealer (owner of the point of sale, or the “Client”). CBPI is responsible for 50% (fifty percent) of all capital expenditures, which are capitalized on the company’s balance sheet. The other 50% (fifty percent) of expenditures are the Clients’ responsibilities who pay for it through a financing line from CBPI, which is amortized over 3 years

CBPI’s cash outflow depicted in the Discounted Cash Flow is, therefore, 100% (one hundred percent) of the annual investments in the distribution network in each year (item “a” above) minus the Client’s repayments of financing relative to previous years investments (item “b” above)

Description of capital expenditure – CBPI

	Comments	NOPLAT growth versus Reinvestment rate
The capex in perpetuity adds value to CBPI as the ROC is higher than the WACC	n Investments in perpetuity add value to CBPI –  In perpetuity, the normalized free cash flow to the Firm is 11.5% higher than the cash flow in the last year of the projections despite capex being higher than depreciation –  The reinvestment rate in perpetuity is 45% lower than the average reinvestment rate over the projection period –  The Return on Capital (“ROC”) in perpetuity is 29.6%, therefore higher than the cost of capital –  ROC = growth rate divided by the reinvestment rate n CBPI’s free cash flow in perpetuity has been normalized9 to serve as base for the calculation of CBPI’s terminal value because the company in the end of the projections is not considered mature yet –  During the projections, NOPLAT growth fluctuates reflecting the company is not mature yet. Accordingly, the reinvestment rate also fluctuates –  Assumes an annual 3% growth in volumes for CBPI to maintain its market share –  Capex was estimated based on the expected number of gas stations required to sell the estimated volume of fuels –  opening of 164 new gas stations to sell the extra fuel being distributed –  renovating about 850 stations (equal to 20% of the base in the last year of the projections) –  Repayment of client financing is sufficient to finance clients’ future capex
	nIn perpetuity, capex is  greater than depreciation –In this case, the growth in perpetuity requires substantial investments –Depreciation is not adjusted for inflation as the investments are –The projection is not sufficiently long to reach the expected maturity of the market in the terminal year nThere are precedents in literature and in the Brazilian market –Copeland stated that estimating cash flow in perpetuity should reflect expectations of the evolution of the business and the sector10 –This assumption is validated by Damodaran11 –The Valuation Report for Ferronorte, Ferroban and ALL is based on Gordon’s Growth Model in the final year of projections, in which capex was expected to be greater than depreciation nPart of CBPI’s investments is not CBPI’s capex (and does not incorporate CBPI’s asset base), but it also incorporate Clients net financing (refer to pg. 89 and 94)	CBPI’s Reinvestment rate

(9) We believe it was inappropriate to perpetuate the last cash flow of the projections as CBPI has not yet reached its maturity at that point.

Description of capital expenditure – CBPI(continued)

Reinvestment rate versus Sales volume growth	Capex versus Depreciation
	■The hypothetical example above demonstrates that in years 10 and 11, when the company is in equilibrium and investing at the same rate as depreciation, there is a difference between capex and depreciation ■ The difference results from the monetary adjustment in assets value vis-a-vis the linear depreciation of assets (which is not adjusted for inflation) Note: Values above are in nominal terms for illustrative purpose only
Note:   Sales volume growth should not be compared with the “g” in Gordon’s growth model which corresponds to the growth of the free cash flow to the firm

Considerations regarding AM/PM valuation

n   As usual in valuation exercises, we have used the DCF method for the most relevant companies that were part of the Ipiranga Group

–   We have used the DCF method to value Copesul, IPQ, CBPI Opco and DPPI Opco, which represents approximately 90% of the value of the Ipiranga Group

–    The other companies¹² being evaluated were valued based on multiples because the preparation of projections would be subject to a high level of imprecision and wouldn’t improve the quality of the analysis

n   We considered inappropriate to value AM/PM based on the DCF analysis

–   The projected cash flow would be subject to significant imprecision that wouldn’t improve the conclusions from the analysis

–    A valuation based on DCF assumes the company is able to independently execute its business plan in order to maximize its value. This assumption is incorrect for AM/PM as its operations are directly dependent on CBPI’s strategy on fuels distribution¹³

–   Forecasts for AM/PM would be based on arbitrary assumptions that would be difficult to justify, as for example, estimating the number of CBPI’s clients that would be interested in opening an AM/PM store in their gas stations¹⁴ and how this additional AM/PM store would impact the consolidated margins. The valuation based on CBD’s multiple avoided using such speculative assumptions about AM/PM business plan and therefore was the best estimate of AM/PM’s value

n   The quality of the valuation based on multiples depends on the quality of the sample¹⁵ and not on its size. The quality of the valuation analysis based on multiples depends on the similarities of the companies in the sample and the company being assessed. We have analyzed the companies that could potentially be included in the sample and we have selected those that in our opinion would be a good benchmark for the valuation of AM/PM

n   AM/PM’s valuation was based on CBD multiples because CBD is the Brazilian company that best reflects AM/PM’s business plan. CBD has been selected¹⁶ as the best benchmark of value given its business profile, the characteristics of the products being sold, its growth profile and margins

n   Historical growth rates reflect Ipiranga’s strategy to launch AM/PM stores primarily on Ipiranga’s own gas stations and in the best locations available in the network. In the future, we expect growth rates to be lower given that AM/PM’s growth strategy and market positioning are limited to the gas station network, the desire and viability of opening AM/PM stores, and the Ipiranga Group and the clients agreeing on opening stores

(12) Specifically, AM/PM represents approximately 6% of CBPI’s value.

(13) AM/PM is not able to independently outline and execute a plan to maximize sales and improve profitability, but rather, AM/PM is part of CBPI which in turn is focused on the business of distributing fuel, and therefore increase the Ipiranga’s brand recognition. AM/PM does not operate in a captive market as AM/PM potential clients can acquire their products in other locations such as supermarkets (CBD), other gas stations (within the network or not), and other types of stores such as restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

(14) Expanding the AM/PM network is not an exclusive decision of the Ipiranga Group, and therefore is not solely based on Ipiranga Group’s economic perspective. Opening an AM/PM store depends on client and Ipiranga to agreeing on opening a store. Note that the client is not obliged to open an AM/PM store, but rather, the Client could open any other convenience store in their gas stations. In addition, not all the gas stations are ready to the opening of an AM/PM store, which is subject to certain criteria such as location and space among others.

 (15) Deutsche Bank did not consider correct to compare AM/PM to apparel stores such as Renner, internet based Submarino, department stores or any other retailer focused on selling toys or electronics

 (16) Naturally, other companies were considered to be incorporated into the sample, however we understand CBD is the best benchmark of value comparable to AM/PM. Adding more companies to the sample just for the sake of increasing the number of companies in the sample would not improve the quality of the analysis nor the conclusions, but it would compromise the conclusions of the analysis.
