Calyon Corporate Finance Brazil - Consultoria Financeira Ltda. (“Calyon Brazil”) was retained by Braskem S.A. (“Braskem”) in order to prepare an independent valuation report (“Valuation Report”) of the following assets: (i) Ipiranga Petroquímica S.A. (“IPQ”), following the merger with its subsidiary Copesul - Companhia Petroquímica do Sul, (ii) Petroquímica Paulínia S.A. (“PPSA”), (iii) Ipiranga Química S.A. (“IQ”) (IPQ, IQ and PPSA together denominated“Assets”, and together with Braskem denominated “Companies”) and, additionally, (iv) of Braskem itself, related to a possible merger of IPQ into Braskem (“Merger”), under the terms of article 227 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.

1. This Valuation Report can only be used under the terms of the Brazilian Corporation Law, of the instructions of the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM ) or of other applicable legislation, to be made available to the shareholders of Braskem and of the Assets, as well as the public in general, under the scope of the Transaction, and shall not be used or used as reference by any person to whom this Valuation Report was not directly destined, as referred above, or for any purpose other than those described herein. This Valuation Report, including its analyses and conclusions, does not constitute a recommendation to any Braskem shareholder or any member of the Board of Directors of Braskem or any of the Companies on how to act or/and vote in any matter related to the Merger. The base date used in this Valuation Report is June 30th 2008.

2. In order to reach the conclusions presented in this Valuation Report, among other initiatives: (i) we used the consolidated financial reports: (a) of Braskem, audited by KPMG Auditores Independentes for the years ended on December 31st 2005, 2006 e 2007, and non audited for the semester ended on June 30th 2008; (b) of IPQ following the merger with Copesul, for the year ended on December 31st 2007 and for the semester ended on June 30th 2008, both not audited; and (c) of IQ, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the years ended on December 31st 2006 e 2007, and non audited for the semester ended on June 30th 2008; (ii) we revised other information related to the Companies, including projections assumptions prepared by Braskem and price projections for the main products and raw materials prepared by CMAI (Chemical Market Associates, Inc.); (iii) we held discussions with members of the management of Braskem and the Assets about the businesses and outlooks for the Assets; and (iv) we took into consideration other public information, financial surveys, analyses and researches, as well as financial, economic and market criteria that we considered relevant, including for the purpose of analyzing the consistency of the information received from Braskem (together denominated “Information”) . The controlling shareholders and the management of Braskem and of the Assets did not (i) interfere with, limit or difficult, in any manner whatsoever, our access, utilization or knowledge of working information, goods, documents or methodologies relevant to the quality of the analysis presented in this Valuation Report, (ii) determine the methodologies used in the preparation of this Valuation Report, or (iii) restrict, in any manner whatsoever, our capacity to determine the conclusions presented in an independent manner in this Valuation Report.

3. For the purpose of our review, we assumed the veracity, exactness and completeness of the Information, and that no relevant information related to our scope of work was kept undisclosed to us. With respect to the parcel of Information related to future events, we assumed that such Information reflects the best estimates currently available in relation to the future performance of the Braskem and the Assets. Additionally, for the purpose of our review of the Information, we analyzed, based on our experience in preparing valuation reports of companies of similar size and same sector of the Companies, the consistency of the Information and we used it when we considered it reasonable for the preparation of the Valuation Report, but we did not assume any duty to perform an independent verification of any of the Information, or to carry an independent verification or valuation of any asset or liability (contingent or not) of the Braskem and the Assets, nor were we provided any analysis to this respect. We were also not requested to conduct (and we did not conduct) any physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Braskem and the Assets. Finally, we did not assess the solvency or fair value of the Braskem and the Assets under the scope of any law relative to bankruptcies, insolvency or similar matters.

4. As a result of the limitations mentioned in item 3 above, we do not nor will we make any expressed or implicit representation or declaration in relation with any Information used in the preparation of this Valuation Report. Should any of the assumptions related to item 3 above not be confirmed, or if anyhow, the Information proves incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, our conclusions might differ materially.

5. Additionally, for the analyses based on the discounted free cash flow methodology, we assumed a macroeconomic scenario based on market consensus compiled and published by the Central Bank of Brazil, which may differ materially for the future results. Given that the analyses and values are based on forecasts of future results, they do not necessarily indicate the real future financial results of the Companies, which may be significantly more or less favorable that those suggested by our analysis. Moreover, considering that these analyses are intrinsically subject to uncertainties, as they are based on different events and factors which escape from our control and from the Companies’ control, we will not be liable in any manner should the future results of Braskem and/or any of the Assets differ materially from the results presented in this Valuation Report. There is no guarantee that the future results of the Companies will reach the same levels of the financial projections used as a basis for our analysis, and that the differences between our projections and the financial results of the Companies will not be relevant. The future results of the Companies can also be affected by market and economic conditions.

6. The preparation of a financial analysis is a complex process which involves several definitions related to the more appropriate and relevant financial analysis methodologies as well as to the application of such methodologies. We reached a final conclusion based on the results of the analysis made considered as a whole, and we did not reach conclusions based on, or related to, any of the factors or methods of our analysis taken separately. Consequently, we believe our analysis must be considered as a whole and that any selection of parts of our analysis and specific factors, without considering our analysis and our conclusions as a whole, may result in an incomplete or incorrect understanding of the processes used for the purpose of our analyses and conclusions.

7. This Valuation Report only indicates an estimate, following or own criteria, of the value derived from the application of the valuation methodologies known as discounted free cash flow and comparable transactions multiples, as may be the case, methodologies which are commonly used in financial valuations of companies, and does not analyze any other aspect or implication of the Merger or any future contract or agreement reached in relation to the Merger. We do not express any opinion related to the issuance price of the shares to be issued as a result of the Merger or the value at which the shares of the Companies will be traded in the stock market at any time. Additionally, this Valuation Report is not and should not be used as (i) an opinion about the adequacy of the Merger (fairness opinion) or (ii) a recommendation related to any aspect of the Merger. Moreover, this Valuation Report does not address the strategic and commercial adequacy of the Merger, nor does it address the eventual strategic and commercial decision from the parties related to the Merger to perform the Merger. The results presented in this Valuation Report are exclusively destined to the Merger, and do not apply to any other decision or operation, present or future, related to the Companies or the sector in which they operate.

8. Our Valuation Report is necessarily based on information that was provided to us on this date and considering market, economic and other conditions as they present themselves and as they may be assessed as of this date. Although future events and other developments may affect the conclusions presented in this Valuation Report, we dot have any obligation to update, review, rectify or revoke this Valuation Report, in whole or in part, as a result of any future development or for any reason whatsoever.

9. We did not consider any synergies from the merger of the Assets into Braskem, as the Companies are being valued on a stand alone basis. Nevertheless, as it announced previously, Braskem calculated synergies with a net present value of US$ 1.1 Bn resulting from that merger

10. As per Braskem indication, the net debt calculation in the scope of this Valuation Report considers an adjustment related to events that occurred after June 30th 2008, specifically the shares purchased by Braskem under its share repurchase program and the shares acquired by minority shareholders who exercised their right to withdraw related to the merger of Grust Holdings S.A. into Braskem . The amounts related to such events were considered as being part of Braskem’s indebtedness as of June 30th 2008.

Valuation Report of Braskem and its Subsidiaries – August 2008 

11. Our analyses do not differentiate classes or types of shares, when and if applicable, and do not include operating, fiscal or any other nature of benefits or losses, including any eventual goodwill, or any synergy, incremental value and/or costs, in case they exist, resulting from the conclusion of the Merger, should it occur, or any other operation. The valuation does not take into consideration eventual operating and financial benefits or losses that may occur after the conclusion of the Merger as a result of commercial changes in the existing businesses.

12. Braskem agreed in reimbursing our expenses and in indemnifying us, or persons related to us, should specific damages and expensed occur as a result of our hiring. We received a fee related to the preparation of this Valuation Report independently from the approval or rejection of the Merger by the shareholders or the companies involved.

13. We provided, from time to time, in the past, investment banking services, financial and banking services in general and other financial services to Braskem and its affiliates and, also, to any of the Assets and to any other company involved in the Merger, for which we have been remunerated, and we may in the future provide such services to Braskem and its affiliates and, also, to any of the Assets and to any other company involved in the Merger, for which we expect to be remunerated. Calyon Brazil and our affiliates provide a variety of financial services and other services related to securities, brokerage and investment banking. In the course of these activities, we may acquire, hold or sell, acting for our proprietary interest and for the interests of our clients, shares, debt instruments and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of Braskem, any of the Assets or any other company involved in the Merger, as well as provide investment banking services and other financial services to these companies, their controllers or controlled companies. Additionally, the professionals involved with securities research and other divisions of Credit Agricole Group may base their analyses and publications on different analyses methodologies when compared with those employed in the preparation of this Valuation Report. Consequently, the research reports and other publication prepared by them may include results and conclusions different from those presented herein, considering that these analyses and the valuation reports were prepared by independent analysts without any connection with the professionals which participated in the preparation if this Valuation Report. We adopt policies and procedures to preserve the independence of our securities analysts, which may have different perceptions than those of our investment banking department. We also adopt policies and procedures to preserve the independence between our investment banking department and the other areas and departments of Calyon Brazil and other companies of the Credit Agricole Group, including, but not limited to, the asset management department, proprietary stocks, debt instruments, securities and other financial instruments trading desks.

14. We do not own any direct or indirect interest in Braskem, the Assets or the Merger which may constitute a conflict of interest or which reduces our independence in preparing this Valuation Report.

15. We did not provide accounting, auditing, legal, tax or fiscal services related to this Valuation Report.

16. The financial calculations presented in this Valuation Report might not always lead to precise results as a consequence of rounded numbers. .

17. This Valuation Report is Calyon’s Brazil intellectual property.

Overview 

• Petroquímica Paulínia was created in September 2005, initially as a joint venture between Braskem (60% of capital) and Petroquisa (40% of capital) 

Located in Paulínia (SP), PPSA has total capacity/year of 350 ktons of PP (expected for 2010). PPSA started operations in April 2008 and should produce 300 ktons yearly initially. Total investments were of around US$300MM 

• After May 30th 2008, some of the petrochemical assets of Petrobras and its subsidiary Petroquisa were merged into Braskem, and Braskem's stake in PPSA reached 100% of capital

• The industrial unit utilizes polymer grade propylene (propylene obtained from refinery grade propylene) supplied by Petrobras, through the refineries of Paulínia (Replan) and Henrique Lage (Revap) as raw material

- Macroeconomic Assumptions    Of the Original in Portuguese 

We considered the market consensus for macroeconomic assumptions compiled and disclosed by the Brazilian Central Bank (“Focus Report”), as of August 1st, 2008

As the Focus Report only refers to projections in the period from 2008 to 2012, we considered that, from 2012 to the normalized year, inflation and interest rates estimates would remain constant

In relation to the exchange rate, we considered the end of the year and the year average projections published in the Focus Report. After 2012, we projected the exchange rate based on the Purchase Power Parity Method

In order to remain consistent with CMAI price projections (“CMAI Scenario”), we considered the US inflation assumptions provided by the company

- Operating Assumptions    Of the Original in Portuguese 

Main Assumptions

IPQ is the company resulting from the merger of Copesul into Ipiranga Petroquímica

Main assumptions in the Discounted Cash Flow analysis :

Ethylene and propylene reference prices on international markets (Europe) as projected by CMAI, considering margin sharing for ethylene

The margin sharing calculation reflects an agreement between Copesul and the 2nd generation companies in Triunfo’s petrochemical complex (Braskem, Ipiranga e Triunfo) in order to share the profitability of the petrochemical chain among 1st and 2nd generation companies

The propylene prices are based on Copesul’s ethylene list price and are adjusted by the relationship of ethylene to propylene for European prices projected by CMAI Scenario

- Volumes Assumptions    Of the Original in Portuguese 

Main Assumptions

IPQ is analyzed on a stand alone basis

Forecasted ethylene capacity increase of 25,000 tons for Copesul starting in 2008, as reported in Braskem’s 2Q08 release

The average installed capacity utilization rate, based on historical averages of IPQ and Copesul and on future availability of raw material, is:

98% in the cracker units in the years without maintenance shutdowns and 93% in the years with shutdowns (2008, 2011, 2014 and 2017)

87.8% for polyethylene and 81.3% for polypropylene

For the calculation of perpetuity, the normalized year considers the average production of the forecast period

The historical technical yields of Copesul and Ipiranga were kept constant for the entire forecast period

IPQ    Free Translation 
- Operational Performance    Of the Original in Portuguese 

Main Assumptions

Net sales were calculated by multiplying the projected prices by the sales volume of the main products

The cost of goods sold is calculated based on the total acquisition price of naphtha projected by Scenario CMAI, as well as on the total acquisition price of butene, ethylene, propylene supplied by CMAI, and on other costs of Ipiranga Petroquímica

Historically, the acquisition price for the company’s naphtha and condensates presents a discount to the international reference ARA (Amsterdam -Rotterdam -Antwerp)

Consequently, we consider an average price for naphtha and condensates acquired with a discount when compared to the international reference (ARA) for the entire projection period

The average prices of ethylene and propylene acquired by Ipiranga Petroquímica are determined using the sales prices of Copesul considering the margin sharing as well as international prices for these products as reference for volumes not acquired from Copesul
