2 Significant accounting policies

2.1 Accounting estimates

In the preparation of the financial statements it is necessary to use estimates for certain assets, liabilities and other transactions. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements include a number of estimates with respect to the selection of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, of intangible assets and the market value of financial instruments, provisions for contingent liabilities, the calculation of the provisions for income-tax and other similar provisions.

2.2 Effects of changes in exchange rates and translation of financial statements

The Company’s functional currency, as established by Management, is the Real.

The exchange variations on investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies with a functional currency different from the Parent Company are recorded in shareholders’ equity, as an accumulated translation adjustment and are transferred to the statement of income upon realization of the investments.

The income statements of invested companies in a stable economic environment with a functional currency different from the Parent Company are translated by the monthly average exchange rate, and the other items of shareholders’ equity are translated at the historic rate.

2.3 Intangible assets

Goodwill from expectations of future profitability resulting from the acquisition of a controlling interest (subsidiaries and jointly controlled subsidiaries) is presented as intangible assets and the goodwill resulting from acquisition of interests in affiliated companies is presented in investments.

This goodwill is no longer amortized and is subject to impairment testing. The effects of this amortization in the first half of 2008 are presented in Note 1.

2.5 Government subsidies and assistance

Government subsidies for investments, received as from January 1, 2008, are recognized as revenue throughout the period, compared with the expenses that it intends to offset on a systematic basis, and are applied in Petrobras in the following manner:

Subsidies with re-investments: in the same proportion as the depreciation of the asset; and

Direct subsidies related to the operating profit: directly in the results.

The amounts allocated in the statement of income will be distributed to the tax incentive reserve.

The balances of the capital reserves referring to donations and subsidiaries for investment, as of December 31, 2007, were held in the shareholders’ equity until their total use, as established in Law 6.404/76.

2.6 Transaction costs and premiums on issuing securities

The Company applies the adjustment to present value to material transactions.

2.8 Financial instruments

The cash flow hedges are recorded in the balance sheet at their fair value when they qualify as effective hedge, with effects in shareholders’ equity, and later reclassification to the results when the transaction that is the object of the hedge has an impact on the results.

Petrobras carries out commercial transactions with its subsidiaries and special purpose entities under normal market conditions. The transactions for the purchase of oil and oil products carried out by Petrobras with its subsidiary PifCo have longer settlement terms due to the fact that PifCo is a subsidiary created for this purpose, with the levying of the due charges in the period. The passing on of prepayments for exports and the raising of capital on the international market are carried out at the same rates as those obtained by the subsidiary. The intercompany loans are established based on normal market conditions and in accordance with specific legislation.

At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, losses are not expected on the realization of these accounts receivable.

Other information

Search and apprehension of ICMS/tax substitution considered not to be due.

In the period from 2000 to 2001, Petrobras was sued in the courts of the States of Goiás, Tocantins, Bahia, Pará, Maranhão and the Federal District by petrol distribution companies under the supposed allegation that it did not pass on to the state governments the tax on circulation of goods and services (ICMS) withheld by law on the sale of fuels.

Of the total amount of these lawsuits, approximately R$ 80.159 thousand was effectively withdrawn from the Company’s accounts, through legal decisions of advance relief. On appeal, these judicial rulings of advance relief were annulled.

Page 45


Petrobras, with the support of the state and federal authorities, in addition it to succeeding in stopping the execution of other withdrawals, is making every possible effort to obtain reimbursement of the amounts that have been unduly withdrawn from its accounts.

The current position of our legal advisers is that there is no expectation of future disbursements for the Company under these proceedings.

Other restricted deposits

The courts have blocked other amounts due to labor grievances that totaled R$ 38.729 thousand at June 30, 2009 (R$ 28.117 thousand at March 31, 2009), classified under Non-current assets as Restricted deposits.

a) New investments abroad

a.1) Sale option of the Pasadena refinery by Astra

In a decision handed down on April 10, 2009, in an arbitration process existing between Petrobras America Inc. (PAI) and others and Astra Oil Trading NV (ASTRA) and others, which is in progress in accordance with the arbitration rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the exercise of the put option by ASTRA was confirmed as valid with respect to PAI of the remaining 50% of the shares of ASTRA in Pasadena Refinery Systems Inc. (PRSI), a Company which holds interests in the Pasadena refinery, and in its related trading company, both with operational offices in Texas. The operating, management and financial responsibilities have already been transferred to PAI, based on this preliminary decision of October 24, 2008.

Page 49


According to the decision on April 10, the amount to be paid by PAI for the remaining 50% shareholding interest in the refinery and in the trading company in Pasadena was fixed at US$ 466 million. The payment would be made in three installments, the first in the amount of US$ 296 million (originally due on April 27, 2009, according to the decision) and the following two payments in the amount US$ 85 million each, with due dates fixed by the arbitrators for September 2009 and September 2010. ASTRA presented a request for clarification to the arbitration panel on certain points of the decision, but on June 3, 2009 the arbitration panel had already confirmed “in totum” the original decision without presenting any further explanations.

Until now the parties have not reached an agreement with respect to the finalization of the existing pending items for signing the term of the agreement that will end the litigation and permit the payments that are the object of the decision.

The legal proceedings that aim at defining, amongst other matters, aspects such as the partial confirmation/revision of the arbitration reports and petitions, formulated by the parties, aiming at receipt of reciprocal indemnities (in addition to those decided by the arbiters) and devolution by ASTRA of books and documents of the companies whose shares it sold and which are being unduly withheld, also continue in progress.

In March 2009 a loss was recognized in the amount of R$ 341.179 thousand (USS 147.365 thousand), corresponding to the difference between the value of the net assets and the value defined by the arbitration panel.

a.2) In Chile

On April 30, 2009, Petrobras, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Petrobras Venezuela Investments & Services B.V. and Petrobras Participaciones, S.L., located in the Netherlands and Spain, respectively, concluded the process for the acquisition of the distribution and logistics businesses of ExxonMobil in Chile, with the payment of US$ 400 million net of the cash and cash equivalents of the companies purchased.

With this acquisition, Petrobras has guaranteed its participation in the Chilean fuel distribution market with a network of around 230 service stations, present in 11 airports an interest in six distribution terminals, four of which are its own and two of which are joint ventures, and a 22% interest in the company Sociedad Nacional de Oleodutos and a 33.3% interest in the company Sociedad de Inversiones de Aviación.

b) Ipiranga Group

On March 18, 2007, Ultrapar, on its own behalf, with the intervention and consent of Braskem S.A. and Petrobras, based on a commission agreement entered into between them, acquired the control of the companies of the Ipiranga Group.

Page 50


On December 17, 2008, CADE approved, definitively, the acquisition of the distribution and asphalt assets of the Ipiranga Group by Petrobras, conditioned to the signing of and complete compliance with the Performance Commitment Agreement (TCD) entered into by Petrobras and Alvo, thus making the immediate and direct management of these assets possible.

Due to this favorable result, Petrobras began the process of transferring the assets represented by the companies IASA and Alvo to Petrobras Distribuidora.

In March 2009 the receipt of the assets of Refino acquired by the Ipiranga Group was also finalized with the effective delivery of the shares of Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. belonging to Petrobras and Braskem.

The delivery of the shares occurred concomitantly with the Refinery’s capital increase through the subscription and consequent payment for new shares by Petrobras, Braskem and Ultrapar, in order to equalize the corporate interests between these companies. On March 18, 2009 a shareholders’ agreement was executed between Petrobras, Ultrapar and Braskem, in which the governance rules for making the joint control and management between the signatories viable were established.

On March 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of Petrobras and Petrobras Distribuidora authorized the transfer of the interests in Alvo and IASA, through a capital increase corresponding to the net equity of these companies.

On April 9, 2009, the Special General Shareholders’ Meeting of Petrobras Distribuidora approved the proposed capital increase in the amount of R$ 670.966 thousand, thus concluding the process for transfer of Alvo and IASA, which became subsidiaries of Petrobras Distribuidora.

c) Braskem Investment Agreement

The merger of Petroquímica Triunfo S.A. (Triunfo) into Braskem, in the terms of the Protocol and Justification for Merger of April 7, 2009, was approved in the Special General Shareholder’ Meeting of Braskem held on April 30 and in the Special General Shareholders’ Meeting of Triunfo held on May 5. This transaction concluded the integration of assets established in the investment agreement between Braskem, Odebrecht, Petrobras, Petroquisa and Norquisa, executed in November 2007 and approved by CADE in July 2008. With this merger Petroquisa now holds 31.0% of the voting capital and 25.3% of the total capital of Braskem.

Page 51


d) Creation of companies of the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex (COMPERJ)

On February 5, 2009, Petrobras, in continuation of the implementation of the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex (COMPERJ), established six (6) joint stock companies, which are wholly owned subsidiaries, in Rio de Janeiro, as follows:

• Comperj Participações S.A. - a specific purpose entity that will hold the interests of Petrobras in the producing companies of COMPERJ;

• Comperj Petroquímicos Básicos S.A. - a company producing basic petrochemicals;

• Comperj PET S.A. - a company producing PTA/PET;

• Comperj Estirênicos S.A.: a company producing styrene;

• Comperj MEG S.A.: a company producing glycol ethylene and ethylene oxide; and

• Comperj Poliolefinas S.A.: a company producing polyolefines (PP/PE);

At first, Petrobras will hold 100% of the total and voting capital of these companies, when the integration and relationship model of the companies of COMPERJ is implemented. This model seeks to capture the synergies arising from locating a number of companies on the same production site. The assets, obligations and rights related to COMPERJ will be transferred to these companies by Petrobras at an opportune moment.

With the forming of these companies, Petrobras is initiating the preparation stage of the project for the entry of potential partners.

e) Acquisition of Marlim Participações S.A.

On April 30, 2009, Petrobras exercised its put option of 100% of Marlim Participações S.A. (MarlimPar). The exercise price for the put option was R$ 700,00 (seven hundred reais), as established in the Option Agreement for Purchase and Sale of shares of Project Marlim, entered into on June 22, 1999 between Petrobras and the former shareholders of MarlimPar.

MarlimPar holds full control of Companhia Petrolífera Marlim (CPM), a special purpose entity created for the development of the production of petroleum from the Marlim Field, Project Marlim. The acquisition of MarlimPar occurred after the full amortization of the investments of each one of the shareholders in Project Marlim, as well as after total fulfillment of all the financial obligations of MarlimPar and CPM.

The equipment and facilities for petroleum and gas production, related to the respective developed wells are depreciated according to the monthly volume of production in relation to the proven and developed reserves of each producing field. The straight line method is used for assets with a useful life shorter than the life of the field or for assets that are linked to fields in various stages of production. Other equipment and assets not related to petroleum and gas production are depreciated according to their estimated useful life.

Material expenses incurred with programmed stoppages for maintenance of the industrial units and ships, which include spare parts, dismantling and assembly services, amongst others, are recorded in Property, plant and equipment.

Page 54


These stoppages occur in programmed periods, on average every four years, and the respective expenses are depreciated as a production cost until the beginning of the following stoppage.

Expenditure on exploration and development of petroleum and gas production is recorded according to the successful efforts method. This method establishes that the development costs of the production wells and the successful exploration wells, linked to economically viable reserves, are capitalized, while the geology and geophysics costs are considered expenses for the period in which they occur and the cost of dry exploration wells and the costs linked to non-commercial reserves should be recorded in the Income Statement when they are thus identified.

Capitalized costs and related assets, rights and concessions are reviewed annually, field by field, in order to identify possible losses on recovery based on the estimated future cash flow.

Capitalized costs are depreciated using the unit of production method in relation to the proven, developed reserves. These reserves are estimated by the Company’s geologists and petroleum engineers according to international standards and are reviewed annually or when there are indications of material changes.

In accordance with the accounting practice that has been adopted, based on “SFAS Pronouncement 143 – Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards - FASB, the future liability for abandonment of wells and dismantling of the production area is stated at its present value, discounted at a risk free rate and is fully recorded at the time of the declaration of commercial viability of each field as part of the costs of the related assets (property, plant and equipment) as a balancing item to the provision recorded in liabilities that will bear these expenses.

The expense with the interest incurred on the provision for the liability, in the amount of R$ 156.829 thousand in the period from January to June 2009, is classified as Operating expenses – Expenses with prospecting and drilling for extracting oil (item 3.06.05.04 of the Income Statement – Interim Financial Statements – Parent company).

12.5 Litigations abroad

a) In the United States - P-19 and P-31

On July 25, 2002, Braspetro Oil Service Company (Brasoil) and Petrobras won related lawsuits filed with the US lower courts by the insurance companies United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company and American Home Assurance Company since 1997. A court decision by the Federal Court of the Southern District of New York recognized the right of Brasoil and Petrobras to receive indemnity for losses and damages in the amount of US$ 237 million, plus interest and reimbursement of legal expenses on the date of effective receipt related to the performance bond, totaling, approximately, US$ 370 million. An appeal filed by the insurance companies removed the obligation by the insurance companies with respect to payment of the fine, legal fees and costs, thus reducing the amount of the indemnity to US$ 245 million.

On July 21, 2006, the US court handed down an executive decision, conditioning the payment of the amounts owed to Brasoil to the permanent closing of legal proceedings involving identical claims in progress before the Brazilian courts, which the parties proceeded to do.

b) In London – P-36

In relation to the sinking of Platform P-36 in 2001, in the contracts related to the building of the platform, Brasoil and Petrobras, in accordance with a mechanism agreed to contractually, are obliged to deposit the compensation in the event of a claim in favor of a security agent for payment to the creditors. Litigation filed by creditors of part of these payments, which Brasoil and Petrobras understand to be their rights, is in progress in the London courts.

Page 56


At the current stage of the litigation, Petromec, the contractual party involved, filed a claim against Brasoil and Petrobras in the amount of US$ 154 million, plus interest, on September 29, 2008. The defense for Brasoil and Petrobras should be filed in the second half of 2009 or at the beginning of 2010. The hearing of Petromec’s claim should take place in 2010.

c) Other litigation for indemnification

In the construction/conversion of ships into vessels for Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and Floating, Storage and Offloading (FSO), Brasoil transferred financial resources in the amount of US$ 629 million, equivalent to R$ 1.227.959 thousand at June 30, 2009 (R$ 1.451.849 thousand at March 31, 2009) directly to its suppliers and subcontractors, with the aim of avoiding delays in the construction/conversion of vessels and, consequently, losses to Brasoil.

Based on the opinions of Brasoil’s legal advisers, these expenditures are liable to reimbursement by the constructors, which is the reason why litigations for financial indemnification were filed in international courts. However, conservatively, the portion of this balance not covered by real guarantees, in the amount of US$ 557 million, equivalent to R$ 1.087.362 thousand at June 30, 2009 (R$ 1.285.058 thousand at March 31, 2009) is recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts.

12.6 Devolution of exploration areas to ANP

During the second quarter of 2009, Petrobras returned to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) the rights to:

• The exploration titles for the Sergipe Terra Basin: BT-SEAL-13 (block SEAL-T-456) - total devolution of the block; and

• The exploration concession of the Espírito Santo Basin: BT-ES-34 (block ES-T-527) - total devolution of the block.

12.7 Devolution to ANP of fields in the production stage operated by Petrobras

During the second quarter of 2009, Petrobras did not return to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) the rights to fields in the production stage.

14.14 Other information

The loans and the financing are intended mainly for the purchase of raw material, development of oil and gas production projects, construction of ships and pipelines, as well as the expansion of industrial units.

a) Debentures

The debentures issued through BNDES to finance the anticipated acquisition of the right to use the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline over a period of 40 years to transport 6 million cubic meters of gas per day (TCO – Transportation Capacity Option) totaled R$ 430.000 thousand (43.000 debentures with a face value of R$ 10,00) with maturity on February 15, 2015. These debentures are secured by common shares of TBG.

In August 2006, Alberto Pasqualini – Refap S.A. issued simple, registered and book-entry debentures with the aim of expanding and modernizing its industrial park, with the following characteristics (basic conditions approved by BNDES and BNDESPAR on June 23, 2006): Amortization over 96 months plus a six-month grace period; 90% of the debentures subscribed by BNDES with TJLP interest + 3,8% p.a.; 10% of the debentures subscribed by BNDESPAR with BNDES basket of currencies interest + 2,3% p.a..

Page 68


a.1) Guarantees

Petrobras is not required to provide guarantees to financial institutions abroad. Financing obtained from BNDES is secured by the assets being financed (carbon steel pipes for the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline and vessels).

On account of a guarantee agreement issued by the Federal Government in favor of Multilateral Loan Agencies, motivated by financings funded by TBG, counter guarantee agreements were entered into, having as signatories the Federal Government, TBG, Petrobras, Petroquisa and Banco do Brasil S.A. where TBG undertakes to entail its revenues to the order of the Brazilian treasury until the settlement of the obligations guaranteed by the Federal Government.

In guarantee of the debentures issued, Refap has a short-term investment account (Deposits tied to loans), indexed to the variation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI). Refap has to maintain three times the value of the sum of the last installment due for the amortization of the principal and related charges.

b) Indebtedness of CIESA and TGS

In order to clear the financial encumbrances of Compañia de Inversiones de Energia S.A. (CIESA) (a jointly controlled company), Pesa transferred its 7,35% interest in the capital of Transportadora de Gás Del Sur S.A. (TGS) (a subsidiary of CIESA) to ENRON and, simultaneously, ENRON transferred 40% of its interest in the capital of CIESA to a trustee.

In the second stage of the process, in conformity with the agreement for restructuring the financial debt, once the necessary approvals have been obtained from Ente Nacional Regulador Del Gas (ENARGAS) and Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia, ENRON would transfer the remaining 10% interest in CIESA to the financial creditors in exchange for 4,3% of the class B common shares of TGS, that CIESA would deliver to its financial creditors as partial payment of the debt. The remaining balance of the financial debt would be capitalized by the creditors. The restructuring agreement established a period of validity until December 31, 2008, as from which date any one of the parties could consider the agreement as unilaterally terminated.

The period of validity of the agreement expired without the government approvals having been obtained and on January 9, 2009, Ashmore Energy International Limited (currently AEI) declared that it was the sole owner of the negotiable obligations of CIESA.

On January 28, 2009, CIESA filed litigation in the courts of the State of New York in the United States of America, challenging the lapse of the abovementioned negotiable obligations.

Page 69


Also, on April 6, 2009, CIESA received notice of a petition for bankruptcy filed by AEI in the Argentine court. CIESA replied to the notice, opposing the petition for bankruptcy, justifying, mainly, the following reasons: (i) difficulty in filling the requirement of a bankruptcy petition considering that the requests for Corporate Bonds have a statute of limitation under in New York law. (ii) CIESA is not insolvent.

On April 21, 2009, AEI filed a petition for annulment of the process filed by CIESA in the state of New York. On May 14, 2009, CIESA and AEI were present in the New York court for discussion of the petition for annulment filed by AEI. Until the present day, the New York court has not yet handed down a decision on the matter.

As it is operating under long-term constraints which significantly hinder its ability to transfer capital to its investors and while the process for clearing the company’s financial encumbrances is not concluded, CIESA will continue to be excluded from the consolidation process of Petrobras, in conformity with CVM Instruction 247/96.

For purposes of calculating the income tax and social contribution on net income, the Company adopted the Transition Tax Regime (RTT), as established in Law 11.941, i.e., for calculating taxable income it considered the criteria of Law 6.404/76 before the amendments of Law 11.638/07. The confirmation of the option for this regime will be given at the time of delivery of the Corporate Income Tax Return – DIPJ for calendar year 2008. Accordingly, the taxes on temporary differences, generated by adopting the new corporate law, were recorded as asset and liability provisions for deferred taxes and social contributions.

c) Realization of deferred income tax and social contribution

In the Parent Company, the realization of deferred tax credit assets in the amount of R$ 2.321.893 thousand does not depend on future income because they will be absorbed annually by the realization of the deferred tax liability. In the Consolidated statements, for the portion that exceeds the Parent Company’s balance, when applicable, the managements of the subsidiaries, based on projections that they have made, expect to offset these credits within a period of up to 10 years.

The subsidiary Petrobras Energia S.A. (Pesa) and its subsidiaries have tax credits arising from accumulated tax losses amounting to, approximately, R$ 224.434 thousand (US$ 115.000 thousand) which are not recorded in their assets. In accordance with specific tax legislation in Argentina and other countries where Pesa has investments that define the expiration date for such credits, these credits may only be offset against future taxes payable, at the most until 2009, limited to R$ 173.692 thousand (US$ 89.000 thousand), and from 2010 onwards R$ 50.742 thousand (US$ 26.000 thousand).

In addition, the subsidiary Petrobras America Inc. (PAI) has unrecorded tax credits amounting to the equivalent of R$ 1.012.716 thousand (US$ 518.916 thousand) resulting from accumulated tax losses, arising mainly from oil and gas exploration and production activities. In accordance with specific legislation in the United States, where PAI has its headquarters, tax credits expire after 20 years. Accordingly, the amounts of R$ 4.758 thousand (US$ 2.438 thousand) until 2024, R$ 17.512 thousand (US$ 8.973 thousand) until 2025, R$ 221.009 thousand (US$ 113.245 thousand) until 2026, R$ 253.999 thousand (US$ 130.149 thousand) until 2027, R$ 393.345 thousand (US$ 201.550 thousand) until 2028 and R$ 122.093 thousand (US$ 62.561 thousand) in 2029 may be offset.

Some subsidiaries abroad have accumulated tax losses in the exploration stage. These credits will be recognized, in accordance with the tax legislation of each country, if the venture is successful, through the generation of future taxable income.

19 Employee benefits

19.1 Pension Plan – Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social (Petros)

a) Petros Plan

Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social (Petros) is a defined benefit plan set up by Petrobras in July 1970 to ensure that members of the plan receive a supplement to the benefits provided by the Social Security system. The Petros Plan is a closed plan for the employees of the Petrobras system, hired since September 2002.

At June 30, 2009, the Petros Plan is sponsored by the following companies within the ambit of the Petrobras system: Petrobras; Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. (BR); Petroquisa and Alberto Pasqualini – Refap S.A.

The evaluation of the Petros costing plan is done by independent actuaries on a capitalization basis for the majority of the benefits. With the most recent regulatory adjustments for the Plano Petros, this plan now receives regular contributions from the sponsoring companies, in amounts equal to the amounts of the contributions of the participants (employees) and assisted persons (retired employees and pensioners), i.e. equally.

In the event of a deficit in the defined benefit plan, as established by Constitutional Amendment 20 of 1998, this should be resolved through an adjustment in the costing plan, through extraordinary contributions calculated by the added value method and these costs should be shared equally between the sponsors and the members of the plan.

The actuarial commitments to the pension and retirement plan benefits are provisioned for in the company’s balance sheet in accordance with the projected credit unit method. This method considers each period of service as generating an additional unit of benefit, net of the assets guaranteeing the plan, when applicable, and the costs referring to the increase in the present value of the obligation resulting from the service provided by the employees are recognized during his labor period.

The actuarial gains and losses generated by the differences between the amounts of the obligations and assets calculated based on actuarial assumptions and those effectively incurred are considered in the determination of the net actuarial commitment. These gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining period of service of the active employees.

Page 80


On October 23, 2008, Petrobras and the subsidiaries that are sponsors of the Petros Plan, union entities and Petros signed a financial commitment agreement, after legal ratification to cover obligations with the pension plan which will be paid in half-yearly installments of interest of 6% p.a. on the debit balance, updated actuarially and by the IPCA (Amplified Consumer Price Index), for the next 20 years, as previously established in the renegotiating process. As of June 30, 2009, the balance of the consolidated obligation was R$ 3.666.941 thousand (R$ 3.428.821 thousand in the Parent company), of which R$ 26.034 thousand (R$ 24.298 thousand in the Parent Company) matures in 2009.

The Company’s obligation, through the financial commitment agreement, represents a counterpart to the concessions made by the members/beneficiaries of the Petros Plan in the amendment of the plan’s regulations, in relation to the benefits, and in the closing of existing litigations.

On April 16, 2009, the Regional Federal Court of the First Region, in Brasília, suspended the effects of an injunction granted on March 24, 2009 to oil worker unions, retired workers’ associations and other associations, which nullified the renegotiation process. Accordingly, all the changes in the regulations of the plan arising from this process were maintained.

As of June 30, 2009, Petrobras and its subsidiaries held long-term National Treasury Notes in the amount of R$ 3.559.806 thousand (R$ 3.352.244 thousand in the Parent Company), acquired to balance liabilities with Petros, which will be held in the Company’s portfolio as a guarantee for the financial commitment agreement.

b) Petros Plan 2

As from July 1, 2007, Petrobras, Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. (BR), Petroquisa and Alberto Pasqualini – Refap S.A. implemented a new supplementary pension plan, called Petros Plan 2, in the form of a variable contribution or mixed plan for the employees with no supplementary pension plan. In 2008, Ipiranga Asfaltos S.A. (IASA), Alvo Distribuidora de Combustíveis Ltda. and FAFEN Energia S.A. joined the plan.

The portion of this plan with defined benefit characteristics refers to risk coverage for disability and death, a guarantee of a minimum benefit and a lifetime income, and the related actuarial commitments are recorded according to the projected credit unit method. The portion of the plan with defined contribution characteristics, earmarked for forming a reserve for programmed retirement, was recognized in the results for the year as the contributions are made. At June 30, 2009, the contribution of Petrobras and subsidiaries to the defined contribution portion of this plan was R$ 95.799 thousand (R$ 91.696 thousand in the Parent Company).

Page 81


The sponsors Petrobras, Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. (BR), Petroquisa and Alberto Pasqualini – Refap S.A. assumed the past service of the contributions corresponding to the period in which the members had no plan, as from August 2002, or from later hiring, until August 29, 2007. The plan will continue to be open for inscriptions after this date, but there will no longer be payment for past service.

The disbursements related to the cost of past service will be made on a monthly basis over the same number of months during which the member had no plan and, therefore, will cover the part related to the members and the sponsors.

19.2 Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. – PIB BV

     19.2.1 Petrobras Energia S.A.

a) Defined contribution pension plan

In 2005, Petrobras Energia S.A. (Pesa) implemented a voluntary plan for all employees who met certain conditions. The Company contributes with amounts equal to the contributions made by the employees in accordance with the contributions specified for each salary level.

The cost of the plan is recognized in accordance with the contributions that the Company makes, which at June 30, 2009 was R$ 2.517 thousand.

b) Defined benefit pension plan

b.1) Termination Indemnity Plan

This is a benefit plan in which employees who meet certain targets are eligible on retirement to receive one month’s salary for each year they have worked in the Company, according to a decreasing scale, according to the number of years the plan has existed.

b.2) “Compensator Fund” Plan

This plan is available for all Pesa employees who joined the defined contribution plans in force in the past and who joined the Company prior to May 31, 1995 and have accumulated the required time of service. The benefit is calculated as a supplement to the benefits granted by these plans and by the retirement system, so that the total benefit received by each employee is equivalent to the amount defined in this plan.

If it produces an amount, duly certified by an independent actuary, exceeding the funds transferred to trusts earmarked to pay the defined benefit granted by the plan, Pesa will be able to use this amount, only needing to make the due communication to the trustee.

19.3 Nansei Sekiyu S.A.

The Nansei Sekiyu Refinery offers its employees a programmed supplementary retirement benefit plan, a defined benefit plan, where the members in order to become eligible for the benefit need to be at least 50 years old and have 20 years service in the Company. Contributions are made only by the sponsor. The plan is managed by the Sumitomo Trust.

19.4 Healthcare benefits plan

Petrobras and its subsidiaries, Petrobras Distribuidora, Petroquisa and Alberto Pasqualini – Refap S.A. have a health care plan (AMS) that has defined benefits and covers all present and retired employees of the companies in Brazil (active and retired) and their dependents. The plan is managed by the Company, itself, and the employees contribute a fixed monthly amount to cover the main risks and a portion of the costs related to the other types of coverage in accordance with a participation table based on specified parameters, including salary levels, in addition to a pharmacy benefit that provides special terms for plan holders to buy certain medications in registered pharmacies throughout Brazil.

The Company’s commitment with respect to future benefits due to the employees participating in the plan is calculated annually by an independent actuary, based on the Projected Credit Unit method, in a manner similar to the calculations made for the commitments to pensions and retirements described earlier.

The health care plan is not covered by guarantor assets. The benefits are paid by the Company, based on the costs incurred by the plan members.

19.5 Other defined contribution plans

The subsidiary Transpetro and the subsidiary of Petrobras, Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolívia-Brasil (TBG) sponsor defined contribution retirement plans for their employees.

Fishermen’s Federation of Rio de Janeiro – FEPERJ

On behalf of its members, FEPERJ is making a number of claims for indemnification as a result of an oil spill in Guanabara Bay which occurred on January 18, 2000. At the time, Petrobras paid out extrajudicial indemnification to all who proved they were fishermen when the accident happened. According to the records of the national fishermen’s registry, only 3.339 people were eligible to claim an indemnification.

On February 2, 2007, a decision, partially accepting the expert report, was published and, on the pretext of qualifying the amount of the conviction, established that the parameters for the respective calculation based on the criteria would result in an amount of R$ 1.102.207 thousand. Petrobras appealed against this decision before the Court of Appeals of Rio de Janeiro, as the parameters stipulated in the decision were the opposite from the ones specified by the Court of Appeals of Rio de Janeiro, itself. The appeal was accepted. On June 29, 2007, the decision of the First Civil Chamber of the Court of Appeals of the State of Rio de Janeiro was published, denying approval of the appeal filed by Petrobras and approving the appeal lodged by FEPERJ, which presents a significant increase in the value of the damages, since in addition to having maintained the 10-year indemnification period, it increased the number of fishermen included in the claim. Special appeals were lodged against the decision by the Company, which are awaiting a hearing before the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). Based on the calculations prepared by the company’s experts, the amount of R$ 39.194 thousand, updated to June 30, 2009, was maintained as representing the amount that we understand will be established by the higher courts at the end of the proceedings.

22.2 Legal proceedings not provisioned for

We present, below, the updated situation of the main legal proceedings with chances of possible loss:

Description    Current situation 
 
Plaintiff: Porto Seguro Imóveis Ltda.
Nature: Civil
Porto Seguro, a minority shareholder of Petroquisa, filed a lawsuit against Petrobras, related to alleged losses arising from the sale of the shareholding interests of Petroquisa in various petrochemical companies included in the National Privatization Program. The plaintiff filed the aforesaid lawsuit to obtain an order obliging Petrobras, as the majority shareholder of Petroquisa, to compensate for the “loss” inflicted on the equity of Petroquisa, through the acts which approved the minimum sales price of its shareholding interest in the capital of the privatized companies. 
  On March 30, 2004 the Court of Appeals of Rio de Janeiro unanimously granted the new appeal lodged by Porto Seguro, ordering Petrobras to indemnify an amount equal to US$ 2.370 million, plus 5% as a premium and 20% as lawyers’ fees. 
Petrobras filed a special, extraordinary appeal before the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which were rejected. Petrobras then filed an interlocutory appeal against the decision before the Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Supreme Court. 
In accordance with the decision published on June 5, 2006, Petrobras is now awaiting assignment of the agenda to re- examine the matter related to the blocking of Petrobras’ special appeal before the Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Supreme Court. 
Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, the Company does not expect an unfavorable outcome to these proceedings. 
If the situation is not reversed, the estimated indemnification to Petroquisa, including monetary restatement and interest, would be R$ 14.881.530 thousand as of June 30, 2009. As Petrobras owns 100% of the capital of Petroquisa, part of the indemnification to Petroquisa, estimated at R$ 9.821.810 thousand, will not represent an actual disbursement from the Petrobras System. Additionally, Petrobras would have to indemnify Porto Seguro, the plaintive, R$ 744.077 thousand as a premium and R$ 2.976.306 thousand as lawyers’ fees to Lobo & Ibeas Advogados. 
 
Plaintiff: Federal Revenue Department of Rio de Janeiro

Description    Current situation 
Plaintiff: Municipal governments of Anchieta, Aracruz, Guarapari, Itapemirim, Jaguaré, Marataízes, Serra, Vila Velha and Vitória.    The Company presented administrative defenses with the aim of canceling the assessments and the majority are in the process of being heard. The municipalities, where the defenses have already been heard at the administrative level, have not filed any measure aiming at judicial execution of their credits. The Company is studying the best strategy for legally annulling these credits and avoiding future infraction notices. 
 
Nature: Tax   
Not withholding and paying service tax (ISS) on offshore services.   
Some municipalities located in the State of Espírito Santo have filed notices of infraction against Petrobras for the supposed failure to withhold service tax of any nature (ISSQN) due on offshore services. Petrobras withheld the ISSQN; however, it paid the tax to the municipalities where the respective service providers are established, in accordance with Complimentary Law 116/03. 
  Maximum updated exposure: R$ 1.025.245 thousand 
   
   
   
 
Plaintiff: National Petroleum Agency (ANP)

Nature: Tax   
Special participation of the Marlim field – Campos Basin.   
The special participation was established by Brazilian Petroleum Law 9.478/97 and is paid as a form of compensation for oil production activities and is levied on high volume production fields. 
 
Petrobras filed a writ of security and obtained an injunction suspending the payment of the differences with respect to the special participation mentioned in ANP Board Resolution 400/2007, until the legal proceedings currently in progress in the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro are concluded. 
 
 
The method used by Petrobras to calculate the special participation due for the Marlim field is based on a legally legitimate interpretation of Ordinance 10 of January 14, 1999, approved by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). 
 
The administrative collection, which had been suspended due to the injunction granted in a writ of security, was resumed due to dismissal of the appeal by Petrobras. The company filed an appeal with the Civil Appeals Court and also filed for a temporary stay, both of which are awaiting a hearing by the court. 
 
On August 16, 2006 the full Board of Directors of ANP approved the report on the certification of the payment of the special participation in the Marlim field that established the methodology to be applied with regard to the special participation in Marlim, and also determined that Petrobras should make an additional payment in the amount of R$ 400 million, related to underpayment by Petrobras as a result of having used the calculation method initially determined by ANP. 
 
  Question decided judicially. The amount claimed is R$ 3.265.134 thousand. 
   
   
   
Petrobras accepted the order of ANP on the grounds that the new methodology would not be applied retroactively, thus ensuring compliance with constitutional principles such as legal security and perfect legal act and paid the additional amount charged in accordance with the final decision of the highest level of decision-making of ANP – its Full Board of Directors.

22.2.1 Environmental questions

The Company is subject to various environmental laws and regulations that regulate activities involving the unloading of oil, gas and other materials and that establish that the effects on the environment caused by the Company’s operations must be remedied or mitigated by the company. We present below the updated situation of the main environmental proceedings with chances of possible loss.

In 2000, an oil spill at the São Francisco do Sul Terminal of the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar) discharged approximately 1.06 million gallons of crude oil into the surrounding area. At that time approximately R$ 74.000 thousand was spent to clean up the affected area and to cover the fines applied by the environmental authorities. The following lawsuit refers to this spill:

22.3 Asset contingencies

    Recovery of PIS and COFINS

Petrobras and its subsidiaries Gaspetro and Refap filed a civil suit against the Federal government before the judiciary of Rio de Janeiro, referring to recovery, through offsetting, of the amounts paid as PIS on financial revenue and exchange gains in the period between February 1999 and November 2002 and COFINS between February 1999 and January 2004, in light of the ruling that paragraph 1 of article 3 of Law 9.718/98 is unconstitutional.

On November 9, 2005, the Federal Supreme Court considered that the aforementioned paragraph 1 of article 3 of Law 9.718/98 is unconstitutional.

On January 9, 2006, in view of the final decision by the Federal Supreme Court, Petrobras filed a new suit aiming at recovering the COFINS related to the period from January 2003 to January 2004.

At June 30, 2009, the amount of R$ 2.163.706 thousand for Petrobras, R$ 70.424 thousand for Gaspetro, R$ 26.900 thousand of Transpetro and R$ 13.718 thousand for Refap, with respect to the aforementioned suits, are not reflected in the financial statements.

23 Commitments assumed by the energy segment

Commitments for purchase of natural gas

Petrobras entered into an agreement with Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) to purchase a total of 201,9 billion m3 of natural gas during the term of the agreement, undertaking to purchase minimum annual of volumes at a price calculated according to a formula indexed to the price of fuel oil. The agreement is valid until 2019 and shall be renewed until the total contracted volume has been consumed.

Additional values are being negotiated with YPFB, with respect to the quantity of liquids (heavy hydro carbonates) present in the natural gas acquired through the Guess Supply Agreement (GSA). The amendment to the GSA shall take into consideration additional values between US$100 million and US$180 million per year, applied to the volumes of gas delivered as from May 2007.

In the period between 2002 and 2005, Petrobras bought less than the minimum volume established in the agreement with YPFB and paid US$ 81.409 thousand (equivalent to R$ 158.814 thousand at June 30, 2009) referring to the volumes not transported, the credits for which will be realized through the drawing of future volumes.

The commitments for purchase of gas up to the end of the agreement represent volumes of 24 million cubic meters per day.

24 Guarantees for concession agreements for petroleum exploration

Petrobras gave guarantees to the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) in the total amount of R$ 4.232.476 thousand for the Minimum Exploration Programs established in the concession agreements for exploration areas, with R$ 3.708.929 thousand, net of commitments already undertaken, remaining in force. Of this amount, R$ 2.997.056 thousand corresponds to a lien on the oil from previously identified fields already in production, and R$ 711.873 thousand refers to bank guarantees.

The items that cannot be attributed to the other departments, notably those linked to corporate financial management, the overheads related to central administration and other expenses, including the actuarial expenses referring to the pension and healthcare plans are allocated to the retirees and beneficiaries.

The accounting information per business segment was prepared based on the assumption of controllability, for the purpose of attributing to the business sectors only those items over which these segments have effective control.

26 Derivative financial instruments, hedge and risk management activities

The company is exposed to a series of market risks arising from its operations. These risks mainly involve the fact that eventual variations in the prices of oil and oil products, in exchange rates or in interest rates may negatively affect the value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities or future cash flows and profits

26.1 Risk management objectives and strategies

Petrobras has a global policy for risk management which it has been developing under the management of the Company’s officers. In 2004, the Executive Committee of Petrobras established the Risk Management Committee composed of executive managers from all the business departments and from a number of corporate departments. This committee, as well as having the purpose of assuring integrated management of exposures to risks and formalizing the main guidelines for the Company’s operation, aims at concentrating information and discussing actions for risk management, facilitating communication with the executive officers and the board of directors in aspects related to best corporate governance practices.

The risk management policy of the Petrobras System aims at contributing towards an appropriate balance between its objectives for growth and return and its level of risk exposure, whether inherent to the exercise of its activities or arising from the context within which it operates, so that, through effective allocation of its physical, financial and human resources the company may attain its strategic goals.

In addition to assuring adequate protection for its fixed assets, facilities, operations and officers and orientating financial, tax, regulatory, market and loan exposure evaluations, amongst others, the Petrobras risk management policy seeks to explicit its character of complementariness to its structural actions, which will create solid economic and financial grounds, capable of assuring that the opportunities for growth will be taken advantage of, even in adverse external circumstances.

Page 98


26.2 Market risk management of oil and oil products

a) Hedge policy

Considering that the Company’s business plan uses conservative price assumptions and the fact that, in normal conditions, price fluctuations of commodities do not present a substantial risk to the carrying out of its strategic objectives, Petrobras maintains exposure to the price cycle and does not use derivatives for hedging systemic operations, i.e. the purchase or sale of goods with the aim of meeting the operating needs of the Petrobras System.

Nevertheless, the decisions referring to this issue are reviewed periodically and recommended to the Risk Management Committee. If hedge is indicated, in scenarios with a significant probability of adverse events, the hedge strategy should be carried out with the aim of protecting the Company’s solvency and liquidity, considering an integrated analysis of all the company’s risk exposures and assuring the execution of the corporate investment plan.

Following the assumption of considering only the consolidated net exposure of the price risk of oil and oil products, the operations with derivatives, generally, are limited to protecting the results of transactions carried out on the international market for physical goods, i.e. hedge operations are those where the positive and negative changes are totally or partially offset by the opposite result in the physical position.

b) Main transactions and future commitments that are the object of hedge

The main hedge operations carried out by the companies of the Petrobras System are intended for protecting the expected results of the transactions performed abroad.

The hedges are usually short-term operations and accompany the terms of the commercial transactions. The instruments used are futures, forward, swap and options contracts. The operations are carried out on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), as well as on the international over-the-counter market.

c) Parameters used for risk management and the results obtained with respect to the proposed objectives

The main parameters used in risk management for variations of Petrobras’ oil and oil product prices are the cash flow at risk (CFAR) for medium-term assessments, Value at Risk (VAR) for short-term assessments, and Stop Loss. Corporate limits are defined for VAR and Stop Loss.

Page 99


The hedges settled during the period from April to June 2009 corresponded to approximately 16,48% of the traded volume of imports and exports to and from Brazil plus the total volume of the products traded abroad, compared to (9,58%) in the period from January to March 2009.

d) Criteria for determining fair value

The fair value of the derivatives for oil and oil products is determined through prices quoted (without adjustments) on the market for similar assets or liabilities.

e) Notional and fair values and values at risk of the portfolio

The main counterparties of operations for derivatives for oil and oil products are the New York Stock Exchange (NYMEX), Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), BP North America Chicago, Morgan Stanley and Shell (STASCO).

At June 30, 2009, the portfolio for commercial operations carried out abroad, as well as the hedges for their protection through derivatives for oil and oil products, presented a maximum estimated loss per day (VAR – Value at Risk), calculated at a reliability level of 95%, of approximately US$ 14.611 million.

The following table summarizes the information on the derivative contracts in force for oil and oil products.

26.3 Management of exchange risks

a) Hedge policy

Exchange risk is one of the financial risks that the company is exposed to and it originates from changes in the levels or volatility of the exchange rate. With respect to the management of these risks, Petrobras seeks to identify and address them in an integrated manner, seeking to assure efficient allocation of the resources earmarked for hedge.

Taking advantage of operating in an integrated manner in the energy segment, the Company seeks, primarily, to identify or create natural hedges, i.e. to benefit from the correlation between its income and expenses. In the specific case of exchange variation inherent to contracts where the cost and the remuneration involve different currencies, this protection is provided through the allocation of investments of the cash between the real, the US dollar or another currency.

The management of risks is done for the net exposure. Periodic analyses of the exchange risk are prepared, assisting the decisions of the executive committee. The exchange risk management strategy involves the use of derivative instruments to minimize the exchange exposure of certain obligations of the Company.

The subsidiary Petrobras Distribuidora carries out exchange hedge operations for covering the trading margins inherent to exports (aviation segment) for foreign clients. The purpose of the operation, contracted concomitantly with the definition of the cost of the products exported, is to assure that the trading margins agreed to with the foreign clients are maintained during the period of validity of the negotiated prices, as well as during the commercial term for payment. Internal policy limits the volume of exchange hedge operations to the volume of products exported.

Page 102


REFAP has a policy of using swaps (US$ vs. CDI) for reducing exchange exposure. The Exchange Protection Committee evaluates the risks that the Company is exposed to and recommends carrying out operations for contracting exchange hedge for future settlement at the cost of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI), plus the exchange coupon. The exclusive purpose of the policy is to reduce exchange exposure.

b) Main transactions and future commitments that are the object of hedge

In September 2006, the Company, through its subsidiary PifCo, contracted a hedge known as a cross currency swap for coverage of the bonds issued in Yens in order to fix the company’s costs in this operation in dollars. In a cross currency swap there is an exchange of interest rates in different currencies. The exchange rate of the Yen for the US dollar is fixed at the beginning of the transaction and remains fixed during its existence. The Company does not intend to settle these contracts before the end of the term. For this relationship between the derivative and the loan, the Company adopted hedge accounting.

Between January 1 and June 30, 2009 Petrobras Distribuidor contracted exchange hedge operations for covering the trading margins inherent to exports (aviation segment) for foreign clients. The purpose of the operation is to assure that the trading margins agreed to with the foreign clients are maintained during the period of validity of the negotiated prices, as well as during the commercial term for payment. On average, the period of exposure is three months.

REFAP contracted swap operations of exchange variance versus CDI, swapping the exposure in dollars plus the exchange coupon for variation of the CDI. The purpose of these operations is to hedge the debt denominated in US dollars (tied to the acquisition of imported petroleum).

c) Parameters used for risk management and the results obtained with respect to the proposed objectives

The hedge known as a cross-country swap follows CVM Resolution 566/08 which approved CPC 14 - Financial Instruments: Recognition, valuation and proof.

Effectiveness tests are conducted quarterly in order to measure how much the changes in the fair value or the cash flow of the hedge items are being absorbed by the hedge mechanisms. The effectiveness calculation indicated that the cross currency swap significantly minimizes the variation in the cash flow of the bonds issued in Yens.

Page 103


Petrobras Distribuidora is in a short position in exchange futures rates through NDFs on the Brazilian over-the-counter market. The hedge is contracted concomitantly with the definition of the cost of the exported products, thus fixing and guaranteeing the trading margin. The Company's policy is to contract hedge up to the maximum of 100% of the volume exported.

In the period from January to June 2009 operations were contracted in the amount of US$ 139.18 million. The volume of hedge executed for exports represented 67,5% of the total exported by the company. The settlements of the operations that matured between January 1 and June 30, 2009 generated a positive result for the Company of R$ 12.110 thousand.

d) Criteria for determining fair value

The fair value of the derivatives is calculated based on usual market practices, using the closing values of the interest rates in Yens, US dollars and Reais for all the period of the contracts.

e) Notional and fair values and values at risk of the portfolio

The table below summarizes the information on the derivative contracts. The derivative transactions take into consideration the approved limits and credit balance for each institution in accordance with the regulatory orientations and procedures established by the Company. The main counterparties of these operations are: Banco do Brasil, HSBC, Bradesco and Itaú BBA.

26.4 Management of interest rate risks

The interest rate risk that the company is exposed to is due to its long-term debt and, to a lesser degree, its short-term debt. The foreign currency debt at floating rates is subject, mainly, to the fluctuation of the Libor and the debt expressed in reais is subject, mainly, to the fluctuation in the long-term interest rate (TJLP), published by the Central Bank of Brazil. Currently, the company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to floating interest rates.

Page 105


26.5 Financial instruments

During the normal course of its business dealings the company uses various types of financial instruments.

a) Credit concentration risk

A significant portion of the company's assets, including financial instruments, is located in Brazil. The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to credit concentration and risk are mainly cash and cash equivalents, government bonds, accounts receivable and futures contracts.

The Company adopts a number of measures to decrease its exposure to credit risks to acceptable levels.

b) Market fair value

The market fair value of financial instruments is determined based on published market prices or, in the absence thereof, on the present value of expected cash flows. The market fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, short term debt and accounts payable to suppliers are the same as their carrying values. The market fair value of the long-term assets and liabilities closely approximates their carrying value.

27 Security, environment and health

In the first half of 2009, Petrobras’s main security, environment and health indexes were compatible with the best companies in the sector worldwide and in the period it did not register any significant occurrence of oil spillage affecting the environment.

Petrobras continually invests in training and development of new technologies aimed at accident prevention and the safety and health of its employees. In its continual quest for excellence in these areas, the Company is implementing the Project for Strategic Excellence in Multidisciplinary Healthcare (SMS), involving its business departments, units abroad and subsidiary companies.

This project establishes a set of actions that aim to promote continuous improvement in the Company’s performance in multidisciplinary healthcare (SMS), preparing it for the growth forecast in its 2020 Strategic Plan. It includes training in multidisciplinary healthcare of new employees, which led to the installation, last April, of the SMS Station, an interactive space with modern 3D technology, intended to make the new employees aware of multidisciplinary health questions.

The Company’s total expenditure on security, environment and health (SMS), considering investments and operations, reached the amount of R$ 1.988.285 thousand in the first half of 2009, of which R$ 1.003.678 thousand was spent on security, R$ 800.230 thousand was spent on the environment and R$ 184.377 thousand was spent on health, where the expenses with multidisciplinary health assistance (AMS) and support for outside environmental programs and/or projects are not included.

This total includes the expenditures made through Pegaso (Program for Excellence in Environmental Management and Operating Security), which, between investments and operations, totaled R$ 273.994 thousand in the period.

30 Subsequent Events

30.1 PifCo Global Notes

On July 9, 2009, the Petrobras International Finance Company (PifCo) concluded the offer of US$ 1.25 billion for reopening its global notes with maturity on March 15, 2019, in the format of a subordinated senior debt, with a yield for the investor 1.25% lower than the yield of the original issue made in February this year.

· Coupon: 7.875% p.a.;
· Yield for the investor: 6.875%;
· Spread for the American Treasury Bond: 332.3 base points;
· Date for Payment of Interest: March 15 and September 15 of each year, starting on September 15, 2009;
· Ratings: Baa1 (Moody’s); BBB- (S&P); BBB (Fitch);
· Subscribers: Citi, HSBC, J.P. Morgan and Santander; and
· Co-Managers: Banco do Brasil and Société Generale

The funds raised with this issue will be earmarked to pay part of the two-year bridge loans taken out at the beginning of the year, which will represent the lengthening of the financing, in line with what was announced during the disclosure of the 2009-2013 Business Plan.

This financing had issuing costs estimated at US$ 5 million, a premium of US$ 87 million and an effective tax rate of 6.933% p.a. Global Notes constitute unsecured, unsubordinated obligations for PifCo and have the complete, unconditional guarantee of Petrobras.

30.2 BNDES Financing

On July 30, 2009, Petrobras, jointly with its subsidiaries, Transportadora Associada de Gás S/A (TAG) and Refinaria Abreu e Lima S/A (RNEST), entered into a financing agreement in the amount of R$ 25 billion with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES). This transaction was included in the 2009-2013 Business Plan as one of the sources for financing investments estimated at US$ 174,4 billion for the period.

The funds will be received as federal government bonds and their purpose is to finance investments related to increasing oil and gas production, amplifying refining capacity and expanding the existing network of gas pipelines in Brazil.

The cost of the financing is in line with that verified on the international capital market for a similar period and the main characteristics of the financing are:

• A term of 19 years and 8 months;

• Half-yearly amortization in September and March, with the first payment in September 2016;

• Payment of half-yearly interest, also in September and March;

• The currency of the agreement is the Real (R$); and

• Indexed to the exchange variance of the US dollar.

30.3 PifCo Line of Credit

On July 13, 2009, the Petrobras International Finance Company (PifCo) raised US$ 500 million from a line of credit with Santander with maturity in 2012. The cost of this line of credit is Libor plus market spread. PifCo used these funds to finance its operations for importing oil and oil products.

30.4 Tax contingencies

On July 16, 2009, Companhia Locadora de Equipamentos Petrolíferos (CLEP) received from the Rio de Janeiro regional office of the Federal Revenue Department notice of tax assessment in the amount of R$ 325.742 thousand, referring to questioning with respect to the rate for income tax withheld at source (IRRF) applicable to the issuing of notes abroad. There is the possibility of applying the Brazil – Japan Treaty (Dec. 61.889/67) . CLEP is taking appropriate measures for its defense.

07.01 - COMMENTS ON THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER 
 

Net income

Petrobras posted net income of R$ 7,889 million in the second quarter of 2009, with an operating profit corresponding to 32% of the net operating income (25% in the first quarter of 2009).

(1) Before financial income and expenses and equity accounting.

The main factors that contributed to the 15% decrease in net income for this half year in relation to the first half of 2008 were:

• 15% decrease in net operating income, due to:

• Decrease in the average realization prices for naphtha, aviation kerosene and fuel oil, reflecting the behavior of international quotations; and

• Decrease in the volume sold on the domestic market, particularly the sales of naphtha (-5%), fuel oil (-4%), natural gas (-27%) and diesel (-5%).

• 17% decrease in average unit costs, as a result of:

• Lower expenditures with imports of oil and oil products and with government interests, reflecting the decrease in international quotations, as well as the lower volume of imports of oil products, especially diesel and aviation kerosene;

• Increase in the following expenditures:

• Exploration costs (R$ 486 million), due to greater expenses for geology and geophysics (R$ 357 million), due to the intensification of the Company’s investment program, in addition to the increase in expenses for the write-off of dry or economically unviable wells (R$ 114 million);

Page 111


• Sales (R$ 382 million), due to the increase in contractual charges for storage and movement of products (R$ 263 million), incurred through not using the minimum contracted capacity of the pipes and terminals (ship or pay) and an increase in the expenses with freightage of the ships for exports, under VCP and TCP contracts (R$ 195 million), due to the increase in exports of oil and oil products, mitigated by the decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts for account receivable (R$ 97 million);

• General and administratives expenses (R$ 181 million), due to an increase in expenses with personnel (R$ 127 million), as a result of the increase in the labor force, the 2008/2009 collective bargaining agreement and the process for advances in level and the promotion for 2008. There was also an increase in expenses with third-party services (R$ 97 million), mainly data-processing, compensated by the decrease in travel expenses (R$ 31 million), as a result of the Company’s measures for cost optimization;

• Other Operating Expenses (R$ 131 million), resulting from the increase in expenses with equipment out of operation (R$ 161 million), mainly dock dues for sonar ships that will provide services for offshore fields, and lower revenues from incentives, donations and government subsidies (R$ 82 million), mitigated by lower expenses for institutional relations and cultural projects (R$ 128 million).

Offset by the decrease in the following expenses:

• Research and Development (R$ 85 million), resulting from the lower provisioning of funds for contracting projects tied to entities accredited by ANP, a result of the decrease in oil prices and consequent decrease in gross revenue from Brazilian production fields.

• Negative effect of R$ 3,202 million on the financial results, emphasizing the lower results from monetary and exchange variations (R$ 3,475 million), as a result of the effects of the depreciation of the Real in 2009 on net assets exposed to exchange rates; and

• Increase of R$ 1,486 million in the equity earnings of subsidiaries, mainly due to the better results presented by PNBV, Downstream, Gaspetro, PIB BV and Petroquisa.

Economic indexes

In the first half of 2009 the business conducted by Petrobras presented a profit of R$ 22.9 billion before financial results, results originating from corporate interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a decrease of 3.9 billion compared to the same period of 2008.

    Second Half        First Half 
1t 2009    2009    2008        2009    2008 
43    47    43    Gross margin (%)   45    43 
25    32    31    Operational margin(%)   28    31 
20    23    20    Net margin (%)   22    22 
9.706    13.168    15.341    EBITDA – R$ millions    22.874    26.757 

The gross margin increased two percentage points compared to the same period of the previous year, due to the lower average unit costs, as a result of the realization of expenses formed in a period of decreasing international quotations, thus reducing the cost of importing oil and oil products and expenses with government interests. This effect was mitigated by the lower average prices for exports and for the sales of basic oil products on the domestic market, whose prices are indexed to international quotations.

The operating margin decreased 3 percentage points compared to the same period of the previous year on account of higher operating expenses, compensated by the higher gross margin for the reasons already mentioned.

The Net Margin remained stable compared to the previous year.

12.01 - COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER 
 

Consolidated net income in the 2Q-2009 totaled R$ 7,734 million, 33% up on the previous quarter, primarily due to increased production, the recovery of oil prices and their impact on exports, and the reduction in operating expenses. Operating cash flow, measured by EBITDA, came to R$ 17,513 million and the operating margin widened by 7% over the previous quarter.

Consolidated net income in the 1H-2009 fell 20% year-on-year, chiefly due to the 53% reduction in the average Brent crude price, which dropped from US$ 109 in the 1H-2008 to US$ 52, and the decline in international oil products prices. The negative financial result, generated by higher financing volume, commercial hedge operations and the impact of the exchange variation on assets abroad also contributed to this result. However, these effects were partially offset by the tax benefit from the provisions for Interest on Own Capital in June/2009.

On the other hand operating cash flow (EBITDA) remained much closer to 2008 levels, totaling R$ 30,936 million, 6% down on the R$ 32,814 million recorded in the 1H-2008.

Page 114


Total second-quarter oil and gas production (Brazil and abroad) increased by 2% over the 1Q-2009 and by 6% year-on-year in the 1H-2009. Increased output from the P-52 and P-54 platforms (Roncador), coupled with the startup of P-53 (Marlim Leste) and P-51 (Marlim Sul), more than offset the natural decline of the mature fields.

First-half investments came to R$ 32,500 million, mostly allocated to expanding future oil and gas production capacity, the Company’s investment priority, which absorbed 45% of the total. In percentage growth terms, the leaders were the Supply, Gas and Energy, and International segments, where the respective main allocations were refinery investments in Brazil, gas pipeline network in Brazil and the distribution businesses in Chile.

EBITDA is not a measure recognized by the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and other companies may define it in different ways. It should not be considered as an alternative indicator for measuring operating income, or as the best form of measuring liquidity or cash flow from operating activities. EBITDA is an additional measure of the Company’s capacity to amortize debt, maintain investments and cover working capital needs.

A R$ 1,405 million increase in operating expenses, notably:

• Exploration costs (R$ 508 million), due to the increase in the write-off of dry and economically unviable wells (R$ 114 million) and increased geological and geophysical costs (R$ 357 million) in Brazil, in turn caused by the intensification of the Company’s investment program;

• General and administrative expenses (R$ 417 million), due to the rise in personnel costs (R$ 127 million) as a result of the increase in the workforce, the 2008/09 collective bargaining agreement and salary-level advancements and promotions in 2008, higher third-party service costs (R$ 97 million), especially expenses related to data processing and the incorporation of new companies (R$ 43 million); and the exchange impact on the conversion of expenses from foreign subsidiaries (R$ 121 million);

• Other operating expenses (R$ 285 million), due to the recognition of losses from the depreciation of commodities (R$ 454 million) due to the change in the commodity price level, and expenses from non-operational equipment (R$ 161 million) from the docking of drills that will be used in maritime fields, offset by the decline in regulatory and contractual fines that occurred in 2008 (R$ 282 million), resulting from failures in gas supplies to thermal plants, and lower expenses from institutional relations and cultural projects (R$ 133 million);

• Selling expenses (R$ 250 million), due to higher export and trading volumes, which pushed up ship chartering expenses, and expenses from chartering in the cabotage segment (R$ 237 million), as well as the inclusion of new companies and the exchange impact on the conversion of expenses from foreign subsidiaries (R$ 117 million), offset by the reduction in provisions for doubtful debts (R$ 97 million).

Page 119


Negative impact on the financial result (R$ 1,440 million) due to the increase in financing volume over 2008 and the impact of the dollar appreciation on foreign debt, in addition to higher exchange-rate losses on foreign investments due to the appreciation of the Real in the 1H-2009, as shown below:

The decline in equity income (R$ 538 million) due to gains from the change in equity interests resulting from the corporate restructuring in 2008 (R$ 409 million). In 2009, the positive result from the petrochemical sector and other subsidiaries, in addition to reducing goodwill amortizations, offset provisions for losses on the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Pasadena refinery and Trading Company (USA) for a judicially arbitrated price (R$ 341 million).

A negative minority interest impact (R$ 1,768 million), due to the result from the Special Purpose Companies caused by the impact of the exchange variation on their debt.

(*) In the quarterly COGS comparison, note that COGS in the 1Q-2009 was negatively impacted by higher unit costs formed in previous periods. This trend was reversed as of the 2Q-2009.

A R$ 500 million reduction in the following operating expenses:

    • Other operating expenses (R$ 258 million) due to higher gains from fiscal incentives (ADA and Sudene) and reduced losses from the decline in commodity prices and contractual fines;

    • Exploration costs (R$ 220 million), lower expenses with the write-off of dry or economically unviable wells (R$ 366 million), offset by higher geological and geophysical costs (R$ 144 million);

    • Selling expenses (R$ 118 million), due to the decline in chartered vessel freight costs, offset by increased sales and promotion costs.

An increase in equity income (R$ 744 million), reflecting the result from the petrochemical sector offset by the result from associated companies abroad (R$ 305 million) and 1Q-2009 provisions for losses in the USA (R$ 410 million).

A negative minority interest impact (R$ 1,535 million) due to the result from the Special Purpose Companies, in turn caused by the impact of the exchange variation on their debt.

A reduction in income tax and social contributions (R$ 645 million), due to the tax benefit resulting from the provisioning of interest on equity in the 2Q-2009.

Increased output from P-52 and P-54 (Roncador), together with the start-up of P-53 (Marlim Leste), P-51 (Marlim Sul) and FPSO Cidade de Niterói (Marlim Leste), more than offset the natural decline in the mature fields.

Increased production from P-53 and the start up P-51 (Marlim Sul) and FPSO-Cidade de Niterói (Marlim Leste) in January/2009 and February/2009, respectively, more than offset the natural decline in the mature fields.

Consolidated international oil and NGL production increased due to the start-up of production in Nigeria in July 2008, partially offset by the reduction in Ecuador due to the sale of part of the interest in Block 18.

Consolidated gas production dipped by 1% due to the reduction in Brazil’s imports of Bolivian gas until April/2009 and lower consumption by thermal plants as a result of increased production by the hydro plants, offset by the increased interest in Sierra Chata, in Argentina, in the 4Q-2008.

Consolidated international oil and NGL production moved up due to the start-up of the Akpo Field, in Nigeria, in March/2009.

Consolidated gas production increased by 6% due to the increase in Brazil’s imports of Bolivian gas as of May/2009.

Page 127


Refining, Transportation and Supply – thousand barrels/day

Processed crude volume in the country’s refineries fell due to the scheduled stoppages in distillation units.

The 1% quarterly decrease was due to the programmed stoppage in the distillation units.

Processed crude in the overseas refineries rose by 17% due to the inclusion of the Japanese refinery acquired in April/08, in addition to the improved operating performance by the U.S. refinery.

In the 2Q-2009, processed crude in the overseas refineries fell by 10%, due to a scheduled stoppage in the Japanese refinery in May/2009.

Costs

Lifting Cost (US$/barrel)

Excluding the impact of the depreciation of the Real, the lifting cost in Brazil climbed by 4% over the 1H-2008 due to the increased number of well interventions and equipment maintenance in P-34, wells in the Marlim field and the Pargo platform, as well as higher personnel expenses.

Excluding the impact of the appreciation of the Real, the unit lifting cost in Brazil edged up by 2%, chiefly due to higher expenses with well interventions in Campos Basin.

Page 129



The lifting cost fell due to the decrease in the average Brazilian oil price used to calculate the government take, partially offset by the increase in the special participation tax rate due o due to higher output from the new platforms.

The lifting cost moved up due to the increase in the average Brazilian oil price used to calculate the government take, thanks to the international price recovery.

Page 130


The international unit lifting cost increased due to higher third-party service costs in Argentina, higher prices and the start-up of production in Nigeria, where costs are lower than the average in the Company’s international segment.

The quarter-over-quarter increase was due to higher material and third-party service costs in Argentina and the higher number of well interventions, partially offset by higher output.

Page 131


Refining Cost (US$/Barrel)

Excluding the impact of the depreciation of the Real, the domestic refining cost moved up by 1%, due to higher personnel expenses resulting from the 2008/2009 collective bargaining agreement and increased expenses with materials and lower feedstock processed.

Excluding the impact of the depreciation of the Real, the refining cost increased by 8% due to greater expenditure on conservation and repairs, and increased expenses with materials associated with production.

Page 132



The international refining cost fell by 7% due to the higher volume of processed crude in the Pasadena refinery (USA) following the scheduled stoppage in the 1Q-2008, together with the inclusion of the Japanese refinery as of April 2008, whose refining costs are lower than the international average.

The quarter-over-quarter upturn was chiefly due to reduced production in Japan due to the scheduled stoppage in May/2009 and maintenance of the alkylation unit in the USA.

Page 133


Excluding the impact of the depreciation of the Real, corporate overhead fell by 1% over the 1H-2008 due to reduced expenses from sponsorships and advertising, partially offset by the upturn in data-processing and personnel expenses.

Discounting the appreciation of the Real, corporate overhead increased by 8% over the previous quarter, due to higher data-processing, sponsorship and personnel expenses.

Page 134


Sales Volume – thousand barrels/day

Domestic sales volume fell by 5% over the 1H-2008, led by diesel and natural gas. Diesel sales were impacted by the non-operation of the emergency diesel-powered thermal plants in the 1H-2009 (as occurred last year), the reduction in economic activity, the increase in the percentage of biodiesel from 2% to 3% as of July/2008 and the decline in the grain harvest. Natural gas sales were also jeopardized by the economic slowdown, the replacement of gas with fuel oil for industrial use, and reduced demand from the thermal plants due to higher reservoir levels in the Southeast compared to the beginning of 2008.

Exports increased 13% year-on-year, led by oil, thanks to increased output, especially from the operational start-up of FPSO – Cidade de Rio das Ostras (Badejo), P-53 (Marlim Leste), P-51 (Marlim Sul) and FPSO – Cidade de Niterói (Marlim Leste), as well as reduced domestic demand.

(1) Comments on the results by business area begin on page 19 and their respective financial statements on page 32.

(2) In the international business segment, given that all operations are executed abroad, comparisons between the periods are influenced by foreign exchange variations in dollars or in the currency of those countries in which the companies in question are headquartered. As a result, there may be substantial variations in Reais, primarily arising from and reflecting changes in the exchange rate.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS AREA

Petrobras is a company that operates in an integrated manner, with the greater part of oil and gas production in the Exploration and Production area being sold or transferred to other Company areas.

The main criteria used to report results per business area are as follows:

a) Net operating revenues: revenues from sales to external clients, plus intra-Company sales and transfers, using internal transfer prices established between the various areas as a benchmark, with assessment methodologies based on market parameters;

b) Operating income: net operating revenues, plus the cost of goods and services sold, which are reported per business area considering the internal transfer price and other operating costs for each area, plus the operating expenses effectively incurred by each area;

c) The entire financial result is allocated to the corporate group;

d) Assets: refers to the assets as identified by each area. Equity accounts of a financial nature are allocated to the corporate group.

The lower result reflected the new level of international oil prices and the increase in exploration costs due to higher geological and geophysical costs.

Part of these effects were offset by the 7% increase in average daily oil and NGL production and the lower government take.

The spread between the average domestic oil sale/transfer price and the average Brent price narrowed from US$ 13.25//bbl in the 1H-2008 to US$ 10.86/bbl in the 1H-2009.

Page 136


The quarter-over-quarter results increase was due to the upturn in international oil prices and the increase of 7% in the oil sale/transfer volume, as well as the reduction in exploration costs due to the write-off of dry or economically unviable wells.

These factors were partially offset by the higher government take and increased geological and geophysical costs

The spread between the average domestic oil sale/transfer price and the average Brent price fell from US$ 12.17/bbl in the 1Q-2009 to US$ 10.11/bbl in the 2Q-2009.

The year-on-year improvement in the Supply result was due to lower oil acquisition/transfer costs and reduced imported oil product costs, reflecting the new level of international oil prices.

These effects were partially offset by the following factors:

• The reduction in average oil product prices due to reduced export prices and, in Brazil, to the lower price of those oil products pegged to international prices; gasoline and diesel prices remained at 2008 levels until June 2009;

• Higher operating expenses, particularly from the adjustment of inventories to market value and from judicial contingencies.

Page 137


The increase in the quarter-over-quarter result was due to the following factors:

• Higher sales volume in Brazil and abroad;

• Higher average export prices;

• The sale, in the 2Q-2009, of inventories formed in the previous quarter at a lower acquisition cost;

• Increased equity income, reflecting the petrochemical sector result.

These effects were partially offset by the reduction in average domestic oil product prices due to the downturn in diesel and gasoline prices in June 2009.

Page 138



The improved result was due to lower electricity purchase costs due to the reduction in the difference settlement price, the greater availability of electricity for commercialization, due to the recovery of the peg, and the increase in fixed revenue from auctions, as well as higher electricity exports. Other contributory factors included the conclusion of infrastructure projects, which facilitated gas production outflow, thereby avoiding the failure-to-supply penalties incurred in the 1H-2008.

These effects were partially offset by reduced thermal power output due to higher hydroelectric reservoir levels and lower gas sales volume.

The quarter-over-quarter result recorded an upturn due to higher electricity sales/generation margins generated by the reduction in spot market acquisition costs, increased export volume and lower gas import costs.

These effects were partially offset by the reduction in the average gas sales price.

Page 139


The year-on-year decline was caused by narrower sales margins, in turn due to lower average sales prices. This was partially offset by the 10% upturn in sales volume, primarily thanks to the consolidation of ALVO Distribuidora, despite the consequent increase in SG&A expenses.

The Company’s share of the fuel distribution market climbed from 35.2% in the 1H-2008 to 38.4% in the 1H-2009.

The higher result was caused by the 9% increase the sales margins and the 5% upturn in sales volume.

These effects were partially offset by higher SG&A expenses due to increased freight costs.

The segment recorded a 38.0% share of the fuel distribution market in the 2Q-2009, versus 38.8% in the previous quarter.

Page 140


The main events impacting the year-on-year reduction were:

• The reduction in gross profit due to lower international oil prices;

• Lower equity income due to losses on investments in the USA from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Pasadena refinery.

Higher oil prices and the upturn in sales volume due to the start-up of production in Akpo, in Nigeria, increased gross profit by R$ 189 million.

The constitution of provisions for losses on investments in the USA in the 1Q-2009 also contributed to the improvement.

Page 141


The increase in the negative result was due to the upturn in the negative financial result (R$ 1,440 million), as dealt with on page 6, and the minority interest result, reflecting the impact of appreciation of the Real against the dollar on the debt of Special Purpose Companies and controlled companies that are not wholly-owned by Petrobras or its subsidiaries.

These effects were partially offset by the increase in income tax and social contribution credits due to the tax benefit generated by provisions for interest on equity.

The increase in the negative result was due to the upturn in the negative financial result (R$ 1,612 million), as mentioned on page 10, and the minority interest result, despite the increase in income tax and social contribution credits.

The government take in the country in the 1H-2009 fell by 38% over the 1H-2008, due to the 38% decline in the reference price for local oil, which averaged R$ 94.38 (US$ 43.62) in the 1H-2009, versus R$ 151.53 (US$ 89.64) in the same period in 2008, reflecting the average Brent price on the international market

The government take in the country in the 2Q-2009 increased by 33% over the 1Q-2009, due to the 26% upturn in the reference price for local oil, which averaged R$ 105.40 (US$ 51.16) in the 2Q-2009, versus R$ 83.36 (US$ 36.08) in the 1Q-2009, reflecting the recovery in the main international oil prices.

3. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material change that should be made to the accounting information included in the Quarterly Information referred to above, for them to be in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and regulations issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), specifically applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information.
