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:

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

Conducting the economic valuation

  Discounted Cash Flow 
- DCF Analysis
 
  Comparable Public 
Company Analysis
 
  Comparable Precedent Transaction Analysis 
   
         
The three main economic valuation methodologies used were: Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”), comparable public companies’ multiples and comparable precedent transaction multiples    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
 
  • of transactions involving Identification 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, cos t 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 nat ure 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.

    Valuation considerations    
         
         
The companies were

basis

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

Basic assumptions
     – 10-year projections
     – Base date of DCF valuation is December 31, 2006
     – Assumes exchange rate of 2.1385 R$/US$ as of 12/31/2006
     – Models projected in nominal reais; cash flows were converted to US Dollars based on average exchange rate for the year
     – WACC in nominal US Dollars
     – Considers that cash flow is generated evenly throughout the year 
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
