With reference to the corporate operations of the company, in view of the restricted term for execution and conclusion of the services, as well as other procedures, we shall perform an evaluation of the report and verification of other independent auditors and consultants, including the complete independent auditor’s limited review and complete audit report and we shall use these as an initial basis of reference for the scope of our services for issuing an appraisal report and will perform the all other necessary additional work to fulfill the objectives for issuing the appraisal report. Apart from the above mentioned, we shall observe and consider in our evaluation the following aspects of NPA 14 – APPRAISAL REPORTS BY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS :
Professional restrictions

Special attention should be given to the matters referred to under items 21 to 29 – Inherent situations to issuing appraisal reports.

I.2 | Scope of our services |
Appraisal report of the book value of shareholders’ equity of Braskem QPar as at September 30, 2014, for the purpose of a corporate restructure in 2014 (continuation)
Scope of the Services and of the Responsibility of the Professional
The scope of the appraisal services should correspond to the provisions established in NBC T 11 – Standards for Independent Auditing of the Financial Statements, observing the standards and application of technical procedures and documentation required for performing audits, which procedures should be adapted to the circumstances, once the services for issuing an appraisal report for any period, the procedures applied are mainly directed to the amounts included in the balance sheet, therefore not guided towards examining the statements of income, origins and application of resources and/or changes in equity for the period ended on the base-date of the appraisal report. Similar focus is applicable when the appraisal report refers to accounting records.
It is the understanding of IBRACON that the nature of the limited review or agreed-upon procedures with management of the entity is not consistent with the objectives of an appraisal report. Nevertheless, there is nothing to hinder that procedures previously performed by an auditor in a prior audit, engaged by the entity, to be considered in the planning of the services of an appraisal report, also occurring with the use, as appropriate, of auditing procedures applied in an audit of the financial statements, for a close prior period or procedures related to an audit in progress (preliminary audit services) of the financial statements for a subsequent period, in accordance with items 39 to 43 of the mentioned NPA.
Inherent Situations to Issuing Appraisal Reports
Listed below are certain situations which the independent auditor may come across during the execution of appraisal services.
(7) | |
| |
I.2 | Scope of our services |
Appraisal report of the book value of shareholders’ equity of Braskem QPar as at September 30, 2014, for the purpose of a corporate restructure in 2014 (continuation)
Amounts diverging from the Book Values
The appraisal report must be conclusive as to the value of the shareholders’ equity or net assets. Nevertheless, it is possible that the entity has adopted, in the accounting records of its transactions, accounting practices judged inappropriate by the auditor. Always when the divergences originated from such accounting practices can be adequately quantified, permitting the identification of adjustments to the items object of the evaluation, such fact will not hinder the issue of a conclusive appraisal report on the evaluated items, even when such adjustments are not registered by the entity.
In such circumstances, explanatory paragraphs shall be included in the body of the report in relation to the observed non-compliance and, in the attachment of the report, the components of the evaluated balance sheet, presented in the amounts recorded in the books, and the necessary adjustments to adapt the to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. In the paragraph of conclusion, the adjusted values shall be explicitly mentioned.
Scope limitations of the Appraisal
Scope limitations of the appraisal shall require considerations by the auditor in relation to the quantification and relevance of factors involving limiting aspects and which were not identified prior to the execution of the services (which situation, if occurred, would have led the professional to not accept the engagement, as mentioned under the Item - Professional Restrictions).

| |
I.2 | Scope of our services |
Appraisal report of the book value of shareholders’ equity of Braskem QPar as at September 30, 2014, for the purpose of a corporate restructure in 2014 (continuation)
Scope limitations of the Appraisal (continuation)
In such cases where existing limitation is not quantifiable, such as the non-execution of physical counting of inventory, the relevance attributable to this item in the entirety of the assets and liabilities subject to appraisal shall be fundamental for the decision of issuing or not the conclusive appraisal report. Under such circumstances, the standards for the services of an independent auditor determine that the auditor, in view of the relevance of the limitation: (i) issue an audit report without any qualification or (ii) issue a qualified audit report or abstain from issuing any opinion, due to the scope limitation. Nevertheless, for the purpose of issuing appraisal reports, the existence of material limitations is inconsistent with the nature and objective of the appraisal and, therefore, it is not acceptable to issue appraisal reports with a non quantified qualification. Should the auditor verify restrictions to the work and face any impossibility in issuing a conclusive appraisal report, a letter should be forwarded to the contracting party, identifying the reasons leading to this decision.
Future and Undetermined Events (Uncertainties)
During the performance of the works, the auditor may identify uncertainties in which the solution depends on future events, but which, if the solution were known before issuing the report, these could affect the intended appraisal. The underlying premise for the issue of an appraisal report is the fact that the values of the appraised components reflect the transactions occurred up until the base-date, observing subsequent events that could generate adjustments to the balance of the mentioned base-date, in compliance with the accounting standards. In this manner, in principle, the mentioned uncertainties should not be mentioned in the conclusive appraisal report. Nevertheless, appraisal reports may be issued and used as essential instruments in the negotiation process of assets and liabilities. The necessity of issuing a conclusive appraisal on accounting items that are registered on certain dates does not hinder the auditor from disclosing certain relevant uncertainties which, if known, could significantly alter the course of the negotiations in progress and, thus, lead to the adoption, between the parties, contractual clauses conditioned or restricted to future facts. This fact should be disclosed in an explanatory paragraph after the conclusive paragraph, which should begin with an expression that makes it clear that this is not a qualification, such as “without altering the net asset value”.

Appraisal report of the book value of shareholders’ equity of Braskem QPar as at September 30, 2014, for the purpose of a corporate restructure in 2014 (continuation)
Future and Undetermined Events - Uncertainties (continuation)
A paragraph of emphasis means disclosing uncertainties that could have relevant outcomes, and for which a solution depends on future events, but which do not affect the conclusion on the book value of items evaluated on the base-date, in accordance with the fact known at present. The decision of disclosing or not certain uncertainties must be duly formalized in the work-papers of the auditor, with the discussion of all the facts and future events related to the matter.
Use of the Work of Other Professionals of the Accounting Area and/or of Legally Qualified Specialists
When issuing an appraisal report, the auditor may come across the necessity of using the work or other auditors and/or legally qualified specialists, with the purpose of offering support to part of the work inherent to the appraisal. In the case of the Company, we shall use the audit and limited review reports of prior periods, in order to contribute towards agility and safety in the evaluation of the assets and maintaining the fees proposed below. The support of the Accounting, Tax, Financial and Operations Management is an important requirement for the execution of these services in supplying in advance the information and documents considered vital for the appraisal of the book value of shareholders’ equity, as well as permitting interviews and documental verification.
