Independent

auditors’report

To the Shareholders,Queiroz Galvão S.A.Rio de Janeiro – RJ

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Queiroz Galvão S.A., identified as Holding Company and Consolidated, respectively, comprising the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the summary of significant accounting policies and other information contained in the notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, and with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent Auditors’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriate-ness of accounting policies used and reasonableness of accounting estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements taken as a whole.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Queiroz Galvão Financial Statements 2015 3

Opinion on the Financial Statements

In our opinion, the individual and consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Queiroz Galvão S/A as of December 31, 2015, the performance of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB.

Emphases of Matters

Operation “Lava Jato”

As mentioned in Note 1 to the financial statements, investigations are underway relating to the operation called “Lava Jato” involving the Company’s subsidiary Construtora Queiroz Galvão S.A. In this context, up to the date of this report, the Company’s subsidiary Construtora Queiroz Galvão S.A. is not aware of the filing of any criminal proceedings against it or its legal representatives because of the investigations. The financial statements of Construtora Queiroz Galvão S.A., used by the Company for consolidation purposes, do not include any effects that in the future may result from such investigations and our opinion is not modified in relation to this issue.

Operational continuity of subsidiary as a going concern

As detailed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company’s subsidiary Queiroz Galvão Naval S.A. constituted an expense for an onerous contract involving investee CQG Oil & Gas Contractors Inc., in conformity with Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Nos. CPC 17 and CPC 25, when the costs that inevitably will be incurred to fulfill the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received over the course of such contract.

Accordingly, subsidiary Queiroz Galvão Naval S.A. has a significant indebtedness ratio, resulting in negative shareholders’ equity (uncovered liabilities). To fulfill its commitments and maintain operations, based on the supposition that the subsidiary will continue operating normally as a going concern, its Management is counting on the support of the controlling shareholder. Such support could come in the form of an intercompany loan or injection of capital, though non-confirmation thereof would indicate the existence of uncertainty that may raise doubts regarding the subsidiary’s ability to continue operating as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in relation to this matter.

3 - Summary of Significant Accounting policies

a. Cash and cash equivalent

They represent the company’s resources without restrictions for immediate use, in moving the company’s operations, they include cash balances, bank deposits and investments of immediate liquidity. They are classified as financial assets at fair value through income available for trading and are recorded at the original value plus accrued interest until the closing dates of the statements made by the pro-rata criterion which is equivalent to their market values.

b. Marketable securities

The company’s financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through income and are presented in the balance sheet at fair value with corresponding gains or losses recognized in the income statement.

The company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and marketable securities.

c. Financial assets (including receivables)

A financial asset not measured by fair value through profit or loss is assessed to each filing date to determine whether there is objective evidence that there has been loss of its recoverable amount. An asset is lost in its recoverable amount if objective evidence indicates that a loss event occurred after the initial recognition of assets, and that loss event had a negative effect on projected future cash flows that can be estimated in a reliable manner.

d. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower value between the cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the principle of the Average Cost of Acquisition and includes expenditure incurred for the purchase of inventory, production and processing costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their locations and existing conditions.

e. Fixed assets

The fixed asset items are measured at historical cost of acquisition or construction, including revaluations in prior years and the asset valuation adjustments attributable to the cost, less accumulated depreciation and losses on accumulated impairment. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset.

Where parts of an item of fixed assets have different useful lives, they are recorded as separate items (major components) of fixed asset. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of fixed assets (calculated as the difference

between the proceeds of the sale and the book value of fixed assets) are recognized in other income / expenses in the result.

The items of equipment are depreciated by straight-line method on the result of the year based on the useful lives of each component. Items of fixed assets are depreciated from the date they are installed and available for use, or in case of internally constructed assets, from the day on which construction is completed and the asset is available for use.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed every year and any closing adjustments are recognized as a change in accounting estimates.

f. Intangible assets

It is represented by expenditures on software acquisition and registration of trademark, registered earlier in the group fixed assets.

g. Investments

Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, evaluated by the equity method, based on consolidated financial statements of the investee companies. The results obtained are shown as operating result in account equity income.

Investments in controlled entities and associates

i. Deferred revenues

In compliance with Law 11.638/07, the result of the works of short-term (previously classified as Deferred Income) is recorded in Deferred Revenue. The recognition in the income statement is made at the close of the work.

j. Provisions

A provision is recognized on the basis of a past event, the Company has a legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are cleared thru the expected discounting in the future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the value of money over time and risks specific to the liability. The financial costs incurred are recorded in the result.

k. Construction contracts

Contract revenue comprises the initial value agreed in the contract plus variations due to additional requests, claims and incentive payment contract, provided that it is probable that they result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the result of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the result as far as the stage of completion of the contract. Contract expenses are recognized when incurred, unless they create an asset related to the activity of the future contract.

The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the measurement of the work performed.

When the result of a construction contract can not be measured reliably, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of the costs recognized on condition that the costs incurred can be recovered. Losses on contracts are recognized immediately in the result.

l. Results of operations

Revenues from services, associated costs and other income and expenses are recognized on the accrual for the year.

m. Translation into United States dollars

The United States dollar amounts result from translation of the financial statements at the year-end rate of exchange as follows:

infrastructure. Receipt of this injection follows what is described in the disbursement flow for the portions of the Outlay of Funds established in

the Sponsored Concession Agreement, as provided in the “Events for Disbursement of the Injection” of the Concession Contract.

b) Negative results at QGDN

In 2015, the Company’s business development subsidiary Queiroz Galvão Desenvolvimento de Negócios S.A. (QGDN) posted a loss in Brazilian

Reais of R$ 195,703, mainly due to depreciation of the Real against the US$ (47.0%) and the Euro (31.7%). Such variations generated exchange

losses on debts denominated in such currencies in QGDN’s steel and food subsidiaries. The exchange losses on debt have no direct impact on

the cash situation of such companies, since they are exporting concerns and their billings are substantially denominated in such foreign curren-

cies as well.

Although the immediate short-term effect of such devaluation is negative for the companies in question, over the medium- and long-term they

will accrue positive effects due to the rise in billings and resulting improvement in results.

c) The balance of USD307,004 in 2015 and USD 331,996 in 2014, in the investment account of the Consolidated Information as per

i) provision for asset retirement obligation (ARO) - QGEpp

The estimated costs for ARO, as reported by the operator, were revised for the year ended December 31, 2015. As of such date, this provision

reflects the revision of the estimates of costs to be incurred, including, but not limited to: (i) plugging of wells; and (ii) removing pipelines and

production equipment, and (iii) other costs inherent in meeting such obligation.

The ARO costs have been projected based on the average industry inflation rate of 2.8% p.a. (in US$), through the date for expected asset

retirement or decommissioning, and have been updated to present value at the risk-free rate in US$ for Brazilian assets, which is 5.4% p.a.

Management identified that changes in the exchange rate must be treated as changes in the face value of the estimates of the ARO provision.

11 - Contingency Allowance

The provision for contingency is due to the constitution of onerous contract expense in the investee CQG Oil & Gas Contractors INC., which in accordance with CPC 17 (item 36), CPC 25 (items 66-69) and CVM 489 (9 items -52), the Company recorded Onerous Contract expense from 2013 to 2015. The pronouncements define Onerous Contract as a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received during the same contract. Thus, after an assessment of the current economic situation of the company linked to negative expectation in the projection of the P-58 project budget reports, single company´s construction contract since 2013, it became evident the need for the onerous expense record, so the accounting result can mirror faithfully and realistically the economic / financial scenario of the Company.

As per CPC 17 (item 36), the amount of the expected loss is recognized, regardless of having been started the work on the contract, and of its implementation phase.

The Company maintains claims against his client to meet costs incurred during final phases of work. Negotiations are still in progress and is currently not possible to measure the success in receiving the claims.

16 - News published – “Lava Jato” operation – Construtora Queiroz Galvão S/A

As mentioned in Note 1, regarding the news published in the media, concerning the ongoing investigations related to the operation called “Lava Jato”, regarding contracts concluded with Petrobras, according to internal investigations carried out until now, no evidence of non-compliance with legal regulations have been identified, especially with regards to provisions of the legislation applicable to public tenders.

As a result of such press reports, some administrative processes were initiated, in order to investigate any possible irregularities, however there are no current deadlines for such processes, nor any conclusive decisions.

It is important to notice, especially, that the administrative proceedings initiated by Petrobras, which led to suspend preventively more than twenty companies in its register, among them the Company, preventing them from participating in new contracting processes, were filed by the Comptroller General of the Union, having no decision related to the Company.

As an exceptional measure, a relative to the writs of payment enforceable to the Government of the State of Alagoas owed by the Company, in the amount close to R$ 163 million, was provisionally suspended by the Federal Court, even before those values were made available to the company. Given the disagreement as to the regularity of judicial measures applied, a legal proceeding was initiated that still remains pending.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that Construtora Queiroz Galvão SA has no knowledge of any criminal action that has been proposed against the Company or its legal representatives, due to the mentioned investigations.
