UNIPAR - Results for the Second Quarter of 2007

Rio de Janeiro, August 14, 2007 – UNIPAR - União de Indústrias Petroquímicas S.A. - (BOVESPA: UNIP3, UNIP5 and UNIP6), one of the leading Brazilian petrochemical groups, with consolidated gross revenues of R$ 3.6 billion in 2006, announces today its results for the second quarter and first half of 2007 (2Q07 and 1H07, respectively). Unless otherwise stated, all financial and operating data discussed in this announcement are presented pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law and all comparisons are with the first quarter of 2007 (1Q07) and the first half of 2006 (1H06).

Highlights

UNIPAR posted a 1H07 net income of R$ 82.3 million, a hefty 152% up on the 1H06, due to the improved operating performance of the Company’s businesses, especially in the ethylene-polyethylene chain, in which Petroquímica União, Polietilenos União and Rio Polímeros operate.

The enhanced operating performance was underlined by the 49% growth in consolidated EBITDA [1], which reached R$ 207.5 million in the 1H07.

Net income totaled R$ 41.1 million in the 2Q07, virtually identical to the previous quarter.

In the 2Q07, UNIPAR made significant progress in consolidating its position as the main investor in the São Paulo Petrochemical Complex:

► On 05.25.07 the Company acquired 3,500,000 common shares of PQU, belonging to SEP Empreendimentos Produtivos S.A., comprising 7% of PQU’s voting capital and 3.49% of its total capital;

► On 06.25.07 the Company firmed and irrevocable commitment to acquire Dow Brasil’s stake in PQU, corresponding to 6,500,000 common shares and 6,500,000 preferred shares (13% of voting capital and 12.97% of total capital), which are part of PQU’s controlling block;

► On the same date UNIPAR acquired of 277,372 common shares and 227,372 preferred shares held by Dow Nordeste in PQU. These shares account for 0.55% of PQU’s voting and total capital and are not part of the controlling block;

► In addition, on 06.25.07 Polietilenos União, acquired Dow Brasil’s 140,000 t p.a. LDPE plant, located in the city of Cubatão.

The total value of these acquisitions was R$ 246 million. The shares owned by SEP and Dow Brasil were submitted to the other members of the controlling group of shareholders to exercise their right of first refusal, in accordance with PQU’s Shareholder Agreement.

However, it is worth noting that even if these rights are fully exercised, UNIPAR has already granted the majority stake in PQU’s voting shares, with a minimum interest of 53%.

2Q07 Results

With the acquisition of the Cubatão’s plant by Polietilenos União – a wholly-owned UNIPAR subsidiary, the production capacity of this subsidiary reached 270,000 t p.a., as of 08.01.07. As of the 3Q08, with the conclusion of Capuava’s ongoing expansion project, Polietilenos União will have a capacity of around 500,000 t p.a.

On 08.11.07, UNIPAR and PETROBRAS released the following notice to the market:

“Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - PETROBRAS and UNIPAR - União de Indústrias Petroquímicas S.A. hereby announce that they have started negotiations on the constitution of Companhia Petroquímica do Sudeste (hereinafter “CPS”). CPS will aggregate PETROBRAS and UNIPAR assets for basic petrochemicals and thermoplastic resins in the Southeast of Brazil in order to achieve global production scale and a greater competitiveness, both key issues in this sector.

In the evaluation of the assets that will make up CPS, identical assumptions, criteria and principals will be applied, always recognizing and respecting the rights of UNIPAR, PETROBRAS and the other signatories of the Shareholders’ Agreements of Petroflex and RioPolímeros, including, in the latter case, Petroquisa, in order to acquire the shares of said companies, as a result of the acquisition, by PETROBRAS, of the controlling shares in Suzano Petroquímica S.A..

UNIPAR will be the controlling shareholder of CPS, retaining the majority of the company’s voting capital, while PETROBRAS will have an important role as a CPS shareholder. Thus PETROBRAS and UNIPAR will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement, which will ensure that CPS will be supported by professional management, in line with the best corporate governance practices adopted by large nationally-owned publicly-held companies.

PETROBRAS and UNIPAR will make their best efforts to entering into an Investment Agreement within not more than 90 days of this date, establishing the conditions for the constitution of CPS.”

Petrochemical Scenario

International Scenario

• 2Q07

Brent crude prices began the 2Q07 at around US$ 68/bbl and remained more or less stable until mid-May before moving up and closing at around US$ 70.5/bbl. The average 2Q07 price of US$ 68.7/bbl, was 16% higher than the US$ 59/bbl recorded in the previous quarter

Naphtha prices (ARA, European market) averaged US$ 663/t in the 2Q07, 21% higher than the previous quarter, lifting the naphtha/Brent price ratio to 9.6, from 9.3 in the 1Q07.

US natural gas prices (Mont Belvieu), which had hovered around US$ 6.5/MM BTU since the 2Q06, reached US$ 7.5 MM BTU in the 2Q07, 12% up on the previous three months (US$ 6.7/MM BTU), pushed by oil prices and isolated demand swings in the fuel segment.

As for the natural gas derivatives widely used as inputs in the US petrochemical industry, average 2Q07 ethane and propane prices moved up strongly over the 1Q07, outpacing the upturn in natural gas prices. Ethane prices climbed by 23%, to US$ 538/t (72.3 US cents/gal), while those of propane rose by 17% to US$ 590/t.

The changes in the average quarterly price of ethane and propane showed a greater adherence to the variation in naphtha prices than to that of natural gas. The ethane/natural gas price ratio stood at 9.6 in the 2Q07, versus 8.8 in the previous quarter.

Most US basic petrochemical prices recorded an increase over the 1Q07: ethylene (US$ 984/t) and benzene (US$ 1,182/t) moved up 12% and propylene (US$ 1,133/t) 15%. Nevertheless, these variations were less than those of input prices, indicating that US cracker margins were squeezed in the 2Q07.

It is worth noting that the 2Q07 propylene/ethylene price ratio increased from 1.12 to 1.15, while the benzene/ethylene price ratio remained flat at 1.20.

European basic petrochemical prices in the 2Q07 also moved up over the previous three months. Ethylene (US$ 1,200/t) and propylene (US$ 1,146/t) climbed by 7%, while benzene (US$ 1,148/t) increased by a bigger 13%.

The 2Q07 propylene/ethylene price ratio remained stable at 0.96, while the benzene/ethylene ratio widened from 0.91 to 0.96.

Like their US counterparts, European crackers experienced narrower margins, since the increase in basic petrochemical prices was insufficient to offset the higher naphtha costs.

In the thermoplastics segment, taking low density polyethylene (LDPE) as a reference, 2Q07 prices in the US averaged around US$ 1,381/t, around 7% up on the 1Q07, but lower than the 12% increase in the price of ethylene. Consequently the average 2Q07 margin narrowed by 3% to US$ 397/t. Local demand recovered, but not enough to cause a significant reduction in resin stocks, prompting producers to look to exports as a means of unloading their production surplus.

In Europe, higher demand led to an 8% rise in the average 2Q07 LDPE price, which reached US$ 1,671/t, with a consequent 11% increase in the ethylene margin to US$ 471/t, the highest quarterly figure since the 4Q05.

2Q07 Results

• 1H07

Brent crude averaged US$ 63.9/bbl, 4% down on the US$ 66.5/bbl recorded in the 1H06. On the other hand, the naphtha price grew by 11% to an average of US$ 606/t. As a result, the naphtha/Brent price ratio reached 9.5, a significant increase over the 8.2 recorded in the 1H06.

In the US market, natural gas averaged US$ 7.1/MM BTU in the 1H07, 7% down year-on-year. As with naphtha, average ethane (US$ 488/t) and propane (US$ 548/t) prices climbed by 5% and 6%, respectively, over the 1H06. As a result, the ethane/natural gas price moved up to 9.2 from 8.5 in the 1H06.

In the US basic petrochemical market, the 1H07 low point was the 13% year-on-year decline in ethylene prices to US$ 933/t, chiefly due to the polyethylene stocks formed at the end of 2006, which remained high throughout 2007. On the other hand, average benzene prices jumped by 31% to US$ 1,119/t, while those of propylene remained flat at US$ 1,058/t.

In Europe, buoyant petrochemical demand ensured a healthier performance, with average ethylene, propylene and benzene prices moving up a respective 14%, 12% and 30% to US$ 1,160/t, US$ 1,110/t and US$ 1,082/t, respectively.

While the naphtha-based European crackers saw their margins widen over the 1H06 due to the across-the-board increase in average basic petrochemical prices, those of their ethane-and-propane-based US counterparts suffered a decline, chiefly due to the drop in average ethylene prices.

In the thermoplastics segment, once again taking LDPE as a reference, the US and European markets also diverged significantly. While US prices dropped 14% year-on-year on average to US$ 1,337/t, European tags climbed by 12% to US$ 1,608/t, and while US margins were squeezed down by 16% to US$ 404/t, European ones widened by 5% to US$ 448/t.

It is important to point out that LDPE margins in both regions were above US$ 400/t, marking the 1H07 as a high point in the petrochemical margin cycle.

Domestic Scenario

• 2Q07

ABIQUIM’s 2Q07 average chemical sector domestic sales volume index moved up 5% over the previous quarter, but the price index remained flat, despite the 6% drop in the average R$/US$ exchange rate, from 2.1078, in the 1Q07, to 1.9818.

According to Coplast (ABIQUIM’s Plastics Commission), domestic thermoplastics sales volume grew by 8% over the 1Q07, while export volume remained virtually unchanged. Thus domestic sales accounted for 75% of the total in the 2Q07, versus 73% in the 1Q07.

Domestic polyethylene sales volume in the 2Q07 moved up 6% over the previous three months, while export volume dipped by around 2%. Domestic sales also slightly increased their share of total sales from 63%, in the 1Q07, to 65%.

Polyethylene installed capacity use stood at 87% in the 2Q07, very close to the previous quarter’s level.

• 1H07

ABIQUIM’s domestic sales volume index grew by 3% over the 1H06 and the domestic price index increased by 7% despite the 7% devaluation of the dollar against the Real.

Total thermoplastics sales volume moved up 9% year-on-year – 4% for domestic sales and 27% for exports – while domestic sales’ share of the total dropped from 78%, in the 1H06, to 74%, primarily due to the polyethylenes, given that Riopol’s operational start-up in the 2Q06 generated a domestic surplus, leading to a rise in exports.

Domestic polyethylene sales volume edged up by 3% over the 1H06, while exports jumped by almost 30% as a result of Riopol’s start-up, as mentioned above. Domestic sales accounted for 64% of total PE sales, less than the 69% recorded in the 1H07 due to higher exports.

Polyethylene installed capacity use stood at 88% in the 1H07, higher than the 1H06 average of 84%.

Consolidated Results

Net Revenues from Sales and Services:

Net revenues totaled R$ 1,349 million in the 1H07, 24% above the 1H06 figure of R$ 1,090 million, due to the 10% increase in sales volume and the 14% rise in the average sales price, in turn chiefly due to the start-up of Riopol in April/06.

Cost of Goods Sold and Services Rendered:

COGS stood at R$ 1,051 million in the 1H07, around 18% higher than the R$ 888 million recorded in the 1H06, thanks to the 8% increase in the unit sales price and the 10% upturn in sales volume.

Gross Profit:

Reflecting net revenue growth, gross profit climbed 47% over the R$ 202 million recorded in the 1H06 to R$ 297.9 million. Gross profit per unit stood at R$ 347 per tonne of product sold, 40% higher than the 1H06 figure, while the gross margin widened from 18.5% to 22.1%.

The ethylene-polyethylene companies – PQU, Polietilenos União and Riopol – contributed most to the margin recovery.

Net Operating Expenses:

Net operating expenses (excluding financial revenues and expenses) totaled R$ 134.3 million, R$ 37 million up year-on-year. The improvement was basically due to the R$ 19.4 million increase in selling expenses (since Riopol only began operations in the 2Q06), and the 1Q06 booking of R$ 16.7 million in non recurring operating revenues by the parent company from the favorable judicial verdict in the lawsuit related to PIS/Cofins taxes on financial revenues.

2Q07 Results

EBITDA [1] [2]:

The gross margin gain relative to the previous year was the main contributor to the 49% increase in EBITDA, which totaled R$ 207.5 million in the 1H07, accompanied by an EBITDA margin of 15.4%, versus 12.8% in 1H06.

Net Financial Result:

Net financial expenses totaled R$ 17.2 million, well down on the R$ 42 million registered in the 1H06, primarily due to the devaluation of the dollar against the Real, which had a favorable impact on companies with foreign-currency debt, especially Riopol, whose installations were financed with foreign funding.

Consolidated Net Income:

UNIPAR posted a 1H07 net income of R$ 82.3 million, a massive 152% up year-on-year, thanks to the improved period operating performance, especially in the ethylene-polyethylene chain.

It should be noted that in the 1H06, UNIPAR’s result was impacted by the initiation of Riopol’s operational learning curve following its 2Q06 start-up. In addition, the polyethylene market at that time was characterized by exceptionally compressed margins and fierce competition among producers who took pre-emptive measures to maintain their shares in the light of Riopol’s market entry.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Sales volume in the 2Q07 increased by 3% over the previous quarter. The unit gross margin also widened by 3% to R$ 352/t, thanks to the 6% rise in the average sales price, generating a gross profit of R$ 153.4 million, 6% up on the 1Q07.

The gross margin growth absorbed the higher operating expenses (non-financial) – mainly selling expenses – generating modest EBITDA growth of 2% to R$ 104.6 million.

2Q07 net income of R$ 41.1 million was very close to the 1Q07 figure of R$ 41.2 million.

[1] EBITDA = Operating Income + Financial Expenses – Financial Revenues + Devaluation and Amortization + Goodwill Amortization – Statutory Participation. [2]

The sales volume, unit price/margin and EBITDA figures have not been audited by the independent auditors.

Net income for the 1H07 totaled R$ 82.3 million, a massive 152% up year-on-year, driven by the improved performance of the ethylene-polyethylene chain.

Capital Expenditures

In the 2Q07, in addition to proceeding with its business expansion program in the state of São Paulo, UNIPAR increased its stake in Petroquímica União, and acquired Dow Brasil’s LDPE plant in Cubatão through Polietilenos União.

Jointly, these investments marked a significant step forward in implementing UNIPAR’s strategy of augmenting its petrochemical competitiveness in São Paulo and the Southeast by growing in size and increasing the integration between the first and second generation plants.

Acquisition of Stake in PQU

On May 25, 2007, UNIPAR acquired 3,500,000 PQU common shares from SEP Empreendimentos Produtivos S.A., corresponding to 7% of the company’s voting capital and 3.49% of its total capital.

On June 25, 2007, UNIPAR entered into a firm and irrevocable agreement with Dow Brasil to acquire the latter’s stake in PQU, corresponding to 6,500,000 common shares and 6,500,000 preferred shares (13% of voting capital and 12.97% of total capital), which are part of PQU’s controlling block.

As part of the same agreement, UNIPAR acquired 277,372 common shares and 227,372 preferential shares held by Dow Nordeste in PQU. These shares account for 0.55% of PQU’s voting and total capital and are not part of the controlling block.

The value of these acquisitions will total R$ 180.5 million, considering the hypothesis of UNIPAR carrying out the whole acquisition.

In accordance with the PQU Shareholders Agreement, the other members of the controlling block have the right of first refusal over the shares previously owned by SEP and Dow Brasil.

The deadline for the exercise of right of refusal for the Dow Brasil shares is August 25, 2007, when the shares will be transferred to UNIPAR. At any rate, UNIPAR will hold at least 55% of PQU’s voting capital.

Acquisition of the Cubatão LDPE Plant

On June 25, 2007, Polietilenos União, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNIPAR, acquired Dow Brasil’s 140,000 t p.a. LDPE plant in Cubatão.

On August 1, 2007, Polietilenos União assumed full operational control of the Cubatão plant, raising its total polyethylene capacity to 270,000 t p.a., including the Capuava facility.

As of the 3Q08, with the conclusion of the Capuava plant’s ongoing expansion project, Polietilenos União will reach a capacity of around 500,000 t p.a., producing all the types of polyethylene required by the market: low density, high density and linear.

The acquisition of the Cubatão plant absorbed investments of R$ 65.5 million.

In addition to proceeding with its business expansion program, UNIPAR increased its stake in Petroquímica União, and acquired Dow Brasil’s LDPE plant in Cubatão through Polietilenos União.

Note that the contribution of these acquisitions to the EBITDA of UNIPAR refers only to the additional interest of 3.2% in the total capital of PQU and only to the month of June.

At the close of the second quarter, the foreign-currency portion of UNIPAR’s consolidated debt was R$ 389.5 million, equivalent to 24% of its gross debt.

2Q07 Results

The gross margin stood at 7.2% of net revenues, versus 14% in the 1H06, jeopardized by the reduced contribution margin for cumene (Divisão Química’s main product) in the US market, exacerbated by the exchange rate.

EBITDA: 1H07 EBITDA reflected the narrower gross margin, reaching R$13 million, 53% down year-on-year. Consequently, the EBITDA margin fell from 10.8% to 4.8%.

Net Income: Divisão Química’s 1H07 net income, assessed as an independent company, totaled R$ 9.7 million, roughly half the 1H06 figure (R$ 20.9 million), once again mainly due to the compression of the gross margin.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Net income in the 2Q07 stood at R$ 1.4 million, a significant decline over the previous quarter’s R$ 8.2 million, pulled down by the reduced margin in the naphtha-cumene production chain, chiefly due to the increase in the 2Q07 naphtha price. Gross profit fell by R$ 5.3 million and the gross margin narrowed from 9.0% to 5.4%.

União Terminais

Net Revenues: 1H07 net revenues stood at R$ 30.1 million, 7% down year-on-year, primarily due to the 5% reduction in billed volume and the 2% decline in the average billing price, in turn caused by the 7% period drop in the R$/US$ exchange rate, given that around 60% of União Terminais’ sales are tied to the US dollar.

EBITDA: Mostly thanks to the revenue slide, 1H07 EBITDA fell 21% year-on-year to R$ 15.3 million, bringing the EBITDA margin down from 60%, in the 1H06, to 50.7%.

Net Income: União Terminais posted a 1H07 net income of R$ 8.7 million, R$ 3.2 million down on the 1H06, mainly due to the drop in net revenues caused by the reduction in billed volume.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

2Q07 net income moved up 9% over the previous quarter to R$ 4.5 million. The period operating performance also improved, with an 18% recovery in billed volume, which offset the 8% average price slide. EBITDA totaled R$ 8 million, up by 9%.

Unipar Comercial

Net Revenues: Net revenues came to R$ 122.8 million in the 1H07, 11% up on the 1H06, due to the 11% increase in the average sales price, given that sales volume remained virtually unchanged.

Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled R$ 17.5 million, 11% up year-on-year, reflecting better quality sales, leading to the increase in the average sales prices. The gross margin stood at 14.2%, similar to the 1H06 level.

EBITDA: Period EBITDA totaled R$ 7.9 million, 25% up on the 1H06.

of 24

2Q07 Results

Net Income: Unipar Comercial declared a 1H07 net income of R$ 2.7 million, higher than the R$ 1.9 million posted in the 1H06, primarily due to the increase in net revenues and the average sales price, especially in the thermoplastics segment, which was strongly impacted by reduced margins and prices in the 1H06.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Net income in the 2Q07 totaled R$ 1.3 million, in line with the previous quarter. Sales volume fell by 4%, offset by the higher average sales price which outpaced the rise in costs, generating EBITDA of R$ 4 million, also close to the 1Q07 figure.

Polietilenos União

Net Revenues: Net revenues totaled R$ 196.5 million in the 1H07, 10% up year-on-year.

The operating highlights included the 8% rise in domestic sales volume and the 15% increase in the domestic market price. Total sales moved up by 8%.

Gross Margin: The improved sales performance, especially in Brazil, pushed gross profit up by 64% from R$ 18.9 million, in the 1H06, to R$ 30.9 million, accompanied by a gross margin of 15.7% of net revenues, up by 10.6%.

EBITDA: The improved gross margin was reflected in 1H07 EBITDA, which jumped by 153% year-on-year (or around R$ 11 million) to R$ 17.8 million in the 1H07, corresponding to a margin of 9.1%.

Net Income: Polietilenos União recorded a 1H07 net income of R$ 11.3 million, after the reversal of goodwill amortization, a massive 158% up on the R$ 4.4 million posted in the 1H06 thanks to the improved operating performance.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Total sales in the 2Q07 moved up 3% over the quarter before, led by the 6% increase in domestic volume. The average sales price also climbed by 3%, although this was offset by the 5% increase in average selling expenses. Overall, therefore, the operating performance suffered, exemplified by the reduction in EBITDA, from R$ 9.9 million in the 1Q07 to R$ 8 million.

Consequently, 2Q07 net income fell from R$ 6.9 million, in the 1Q07, to R$ 4.4 million. Controlled Companies

Petroquímica União

Net Revenues: Net revenues reached R$ 1,577 million in the 1H07, 15% above the 1H06 figure, thanks to the 4% upturn in total sales volume and the 11% increase in average prices.

Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled R$ 224 million, significantly higher than the R$ 96.4 million registered in the 1H06, reflecting the growth in net revenues,

of 24

2Q07 Results

given that selling expenses only moved up 6% to R$ 1,275 million. The gross margin also improved substantially, widening from 7.0%, in the 1H06, to 14.2%.

In unit terms, gross profit stood at R$ 229/t of naphtha consumed, a massive increase over the R$ 99/t recorded in the 1H06.

EBITDA: The operating performance, measured by EBITDA, reflected the period margin gain, jumping by 149% from R$ 81.3 million, in the 1H06, to R$ 202.2 million. Consequently, the EBITDA margin widened from 5.9% to 12.8%.

Net Income: PQU posted a 1H07 net income of R$ 115.3 million, a vast improvement over the R$ 28.4 million recorded in the 1H06, due to the higher gross margin.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Sales volume and the average sales price in the 2Q07 increased by 8% and 4%, respectively, over the previous three months, pushing net revenues up by 12% to R$ 833 million, sufficient to absorb the 11% period upturn in selling expenses to R$ 713 million. Consequently, gross profit of R$ 120.6 million moved up by R$ 17 million, or 17%, over the 1Q07.

This margin gain was the main factor behind the increase in PQU’s net income, which grew from R$ 50.4 million, in the 1Q07, to R$ 64.9 million.

Carbocloro

Net Revenues: 1H07 net revenues came to R$ 279.3 million, 11% down year-on-year, jeopardized by the 11% drop in the average price, since sales volume moved up by 5%.

The international price of caustic soda – used as a price-setting reference for the domestic market – fell by 15% year-on-year in the 1H07. Soda is Carbocloro’s main product, responsible for close to 50% of its sales. Thus the international price slide, along with the devaluation of the dollar, contributed decisively to the decline in the company’s average sales price.

Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled R$ 90.9 million, 15% below the 1H06, mostly due to the drop in the average sales price. Consequently, the gross margin narrowed from 35.8% in the 1H06 to 32.5%.

EBITDA: Due to the reduced gross margin, 1H07 EBITDA fell 21% year-on-year, from R$ 102.4 million to R$ 80.9 million, while the EBITDA margin narrowed from 34.2% to 29%.

Net Income: Carbocloro recorded 1H07 net income of R$ 53 million, 17% down on the R$ 63.5 million reported in the 1H06, due to the margin reduction triggered by the drop in the average sales price.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Net income in the 2Q07 totaled R$ 26 million, similar to the previous quarter’s total of R$ 26.9 million. Operating performance followed a similar pattern, as evidenced by comparing the EBITDA figures for the two periods: R$ 40 million in the 2Q07, versus R$ 41 million in the 1Q07.

2Q07 Results

Rio Polímeros

As Rio Polímeros only started up in April 2006, the following analysis compares the company's performance in the 2Q07 and 1Q07 only.

Net Revenues: Riopol recorded 2Q07 net revenues of R$ 359.9 million, 7% down on the previous quarter due to the 9% reduction in sales volume, given that the average sales price only edged up by 2%.

Net revenues in the 1H07 totaled R$ 727 million.

The 2Q07 polyethylene highlight was the 10% quarter-over-quarter increase in domestic sales. Exports plunged by around 30%, leading to an 8% decline in total sales to 105,800 t. In terms of mix, domestic market sales accounted for 66% of the period total, an improvement over the 55% recorded in the 1Q07.

In year-to-date terms, total polyethylene sales (domestic plus exports) came to 220,900 t, 60% in Brazil and 40% abroad.

In the 2Q07, Riopol commenced the production and sale of metallocenes.

In terms of production, the capacity utilization of the pyrolysis unit in the 1H07 was 81%, as a result of the instability in the supply of raw materials, which led the PE unit to register capacity utilization of 80%.

Gross Margin: Gross profit for the 2Q07 totaled R$ 76.7 million, representing a modest 3% increase over the previous three months, due to the rise in the average sales price, favored by the improved import/export sales mix and the maintenance of unit costs.

The 2Q07 gross margin came to 21.3% of net revenues, versus 19.2% in the 1Q07. First-half gross profit totaled R$ 151.1 million, accompanied by a gross margin of 20.2%.

EBITDA: EBITDA stood at R$ 63.4 million in the 2Q07, corresponding to a margin of 17.6%, down on the 19.1% registered in the previous quarter, impacted by the higher selling expenses due, among other factors, to the payment of royalties to the licensor of the PE technology. Year-to-date EBITDA totaled R$ 137.3 million, equivalent to 18.4% of net revenues.

Net Income: Thanks to the impact of the dollar devaluation on the company’s debt, which led to a gain of R$ 26.4 million in the financial result compared to the previous quarter, Riopol recorded a 2Q07 net income of R$ 33.5 million, well above the 1Q07 figure of R$ 21.2 million.

Net income for the 1H07 totaled R$ 54.7 million.

According to the Material Fact published by Riopol on June 30, the company signed an agreement with the consortium responsible for building its industrial complex (“EPC Contractor”), putting an end to the negotiations over damages arising from the delay in Riopol’s operational start-up. The effect of this agreement on Riopol’s results will be booked in August as non-operating revenues in the amount of R$ 142 million.

Petroflex

Net Revenues: Net revenues totaled R$ 712.4 million in the 1H07, 13% up on the same period in 2006 due to the 4% upturn in sales volume and the 9% increase in the average sales price.

It is worth underlining the 16% increase in domestic sales volume, mostly fueled by the healthy performance of the auto industry, whose sales moved up 26% year-on-year. This more than offset the 17% drop in exports, helping total sales to surpass their 1H06 levels. Domestic sales accounted for 71% of the 1H07 total, well above the 63% in the first six months of 2006.

This increased share of domestic sales also helped push up the average price between the two periods.

Gross Margin: Thanks to the growth in net revenues, which offset the increase in selling expenses, the 1H07 gross profit came to R$ 105 million, 56% up on the 1H06. The unit gross margin averaged R$ 616/t, a substantial 50% above the R$ 410/t registered in the same period in 2006.

The 1H07 gross margin came to 14.7% of net revenues, versus 10.7% in the 1H06.

EBITDA: As a result of the wider gross margin, EBITDA totaled R$ 80.6 million in the 1H07, practically double the R$ 39.2 million recorded in the 1H06, accompanied by an EBITDA margin of 11.3%, also significantly higher than the 1H06 mark of 6.2%.

Net Income: Petroflex posted a 1H07 net income of R$ 36.8 million, significantly higher than the 1H06 figure of R$ 6 million.

2Q07 Results

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Net income in the 2Q07 jumped by 102% over the previous three months, reaching R$ 24.6 million.

Sales volume increased 7% year-on-year. Although the average sales price dipped by 3%, the average unit cost fell by 5% (thanks to the decline in the average cost of butadiene and styrene, the principal inputs), leading to an 11% increase in the unit gross margin and pushing up 2Q07 gross profit by 18% to R$ 57 million.

The R$ 6.3 million reduction in operating expenses also contributed to the improved result. This decrease was due to the non-recurring reversal of provisions for Petros’ actuarial liabilities in the amount of R$ 6.1 million and the R$ 2.6 million reduction in net financial expenses, thanks to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar.

Polibutenos

Net Revenues: Net revenues in the 1H07 came to R$ 27.3 million, 21% up year-on-year due to the 12% upturn in the average price and the 7% increase in sales volume.

Domestic sales volume did exceptionally well, moving up by 37%, offsetting the 19% decline in exports. Domestic sales accounted for 61% of the 1H07 total, higher than the 48% ratio in the 1H06. This more favorable sales profile contributed to the rise in the average price mentioned above.

Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled R$ 8.9 million, R$ 2.8 million (or 45%) up on the 1H06, thanks to the increase in net revenues. The gross margin stood at 32.8%, versus 27.3% in the 1Q06.

EBITDA: Thanks to the margin gain, EBITDA increased by R$ 2.9 million year-on-year to R$ 7.5 million. The EBITDA margin stood at 27.4%, versus 20.1% in the 1H06.

Net Income: Polibutenos posted a 1H07 net income of R$ 4 million, higher than the R$ 2.1 million recorded in the 1H06 thanks to the wider gross margin.

• 2Q07 vs. 1Q07

Net income in the 2Q07 came to R$ 2.2 million, versus R$ 1.8 million in the 1Q07.

Despite the 7% decline in the unit gross margin due to the increase in the cost of isobutene – the company’s main input, whose price is tied to that of naphtha – sales volume climbed by 17%, pushing gross profit up by 9% to R$ 4.7 million, contributing to the improved result.
