Review report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

 

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with  U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1.      Basis of Financial Statements Preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and its subsidiaries (together referred as “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the notes thereto.

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2010, presented for comparison purpose, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

The consolidated financial statements as of  March 31, 2011 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, included in this report, are unaudited. However, in management's opinion, such consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements, as well as amounts included in the notes thereto. Management reviews its estimates periodically, including those related to oil and gas reserves, pension and health care liabilities, depreciation, depletion and amortization, abandonment costs, fair value of financial instruments, contingencies and income taxes. While the Company uses its best estimates and judgements, actual results could differ from those estimates as further confirming events occur.

 

Certain prior years amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation standards. These reclassifications are not significant to the consolidated financial statements and had no impact on the Company’s net income.

 

Events subsequent to March 31, 2011, were evaluated until the time of the Form 6-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Pursuant to Rule 436 (c) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), this is not a “report” and should not be considered a part of any registration statement prepared or certified within the meanings of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act and therefore, the independent accountant’s liability under Section 11 does not extend to the information included herein.

2.      Derivative Instruments, Hedging and Risk Management Activities

 

The Company is exposed to a number of market risks arising from its normal course of business. Such market risks principally involve the possibility that changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices will adversely affect the value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities or future cash flows and earnings.

 

Petrobras’ risk management is performed by means of its Board of Directors pursuant to a corporate policy risk management. In March 2010, regarding the new corporate governance model developed by the Company, the Financial Commitee, in place of the Risk Management Committee, was organized by the Executive Board. Such a Committee is sponsored by the Financial Board and made up of all executive managers from the Financial area, and executive managers of Business can also be called to discuss about specific subjects. Among the Financial Commitee liabilities, it shall evaluate risk exposures and establish guidelines to measure, supervise and manage the risk concerning the Company's operation. The Board of Directors shall be liable to decide about the issues.

 

The risk management policy of Petrobras 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.

 

The Company may use derivative and non-derivative instruments to implement its corporate risk management strategy. However, by using derivative instruments, the Company exposes itself to credit and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of a counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. Market risk is the possible adverse effect on the value of an asset or liability, including financial instruments that results from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or commodity prices. The Company addresses credit risk by restricting the counterparties to such derivative financial instruments to major financial institutions. Market risk is managed by the Company’s executive officers. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

2.   Derivative Instruments, Hedging and Risk Management Activities (Continued) 

 

a)      Commodity price risk management

 

The Company is exposed to commodity price risks as a result of the fluctuation of crude oil and oil product prices. The Company’s commodity risk management activities are primarily undertaking through the uses of future contracts traded on stock exchanges; and options and swaps entered into with major financial institutions. The Company does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

 

The Company usually does not use derivatives to manage overall commodity price risk exposure, taking into consideration that the Company’s business plan uses conservative price assumptions associated to the fact that, under normal market conditions, price fluctuations of commodities do not represent a substantial risk to achieve strategic objectives.

 

The decision to enter into hedging or non-hedging derivatives is reviewed periodically and recommended, or not, to the Risk Management Committee. If entering into derivative is indicated, in scenarios with a significant probability of adverse events, and such decision is approved by the Board of Directors, the derivative transactions should be carried out with the aim of protecting the Company’s solvency, liquidity and execution of the corporate investment plan, considering an integrated analysis of all the Company’s risk exposures.

 

Outstanding derivative contracts aimed entered into in order to mitigate price risk exposures from specific transactions, in which positive or negative results in the derivative transactions are totally or partially offset by the opposite result in the physical positions. The transactions covered by commodity derivatives are certain cargoes traded from import and export operations and transactions between different geographical markets.

 

As a result of the Company’s current price risk management, derivatives are contracted for short term operations, to mitigate the price risk of specific forecasted transactions. 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.

2.   Derivative Instruments, Hedging and Risk Management Activities (Continued) 

 

a)     Commodity price risk management (Continued) 

 

The Company’s exposure from these contracts is limited to the difference between the contract value and market value on the volumes contracted. Crude oil future contracts are marked-to-market and related gains and losses are recognized in current period earnings, irrespective of when the physical crude sales occur.

 

The main parameters used in risk management for variations of Petrobras’ oil and oil products 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.

 

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

 

The commodity derivative contracts are reflected at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, recognizing gain or losses in earnings, using market to market accounting, in the period of change.

 

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts:

2.   Derivative Instruments, Hedging and Risk Management Activities (Continued) 

 

b)     Foreign currency risk management

 

Exchange risk is one of the financial risks that the Company is exposed to originating from changes in the levels or volatility of exchange rate. With respect to the management of these risks, the Company seeks to identify and handle them in an integrated manner, seeking to assure efficient allocation of the resources earmarked for the derivative. 

 

Taking advantage of operating in an integrated manner in the energy segment, the Company seeks, primarily, to identify or create “natural risk mitigation”, benefiting from the correlation between its income and expenses. In the specific case of exchange variations inherent to the contracts with the cost and remuneration involved in different currencies, this natural risk mitigation is carried out through allocating the cash investments between the real and the US dollar or another currency.

 

The risk management is based on the Company’s net exposure. Periodical 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 of the Company’s obligations.

 

BR Distribuidora (wholly owned subsidiary) entered into an over the counter contract, not qualified as hedge accounting, for covering the trading margins inherent to exports (aviation segment) for foreign clients. The objective of the operation, contracted contemporaneously with the definition of the cost of the products exported, is to lock the trading margins agreed with the foreign clients. Internal policy limits the volume of derivative contracts to the volume of products exported.

 

The volume of hedge executed for the exports occurring between January and March 2011 represented 48.2% of the total exported by BR Distribuidora. The settlements of the operations that matured between January 1 and March 31, 2011 generated a positive result for the Company of US$2.

 

The over the counter contract is presented at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, recognizing gains or losses in earnings, using market to market accounting, in the period of change.

Cash flow hedge

In March 2006, the Company 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.

 

The Company has qualified its cross currency swap as a cash flow hedge. Both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, a cash flow hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving to offset cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the term of the hedge. Derivative instruments qualified as cash flow hedges are reflected as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Change in fair value, to the extent the hedge is effective, is presented in accumulated other comprehensive income until the cash flows of the hedged item occurs.

 

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

c)   Embedded derivatives

 

Derivatives embedded within other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they have a price based on an underlying that is not clearly and closely related to the asset being sold or purchased. The assessment is made only at the inception of the contracts. Such derivatives are separately from the host contract and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

 

Sale of ethanol

 

Petrobras through its subsidiary, Petrobras International Finance (PifCo), entered into a sales contract of 143,000 m³ per year of ethanol, with Toyota Tsusho Corporation, for ten years subject to renegotiation of prices and termination after the first five years. The sales price formula is based on both quotations: ethanol and naphtha.

 

Naphtha is an extraneous underlying to the cost and fair value of the asset being sold.  The embedded derivative was bifurcated from the host contract and recognized at fair value through earnings.

The Company’s interest rate risk is a function of the Company’s long-term debt and to a lesser extent, its short-term debt. The Company’s foreign currency floating rate debt is principally subject to fluctuations in LIBOR and the Company’s floating rate debt denominated in Reais is principally subject to fluctuations in the Brazilian long-term interest rate (TJLP) as fixed by the National Monetary Counsel. The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

3.      Income Taxes

 

Income taxes in Brazil comprise federal income tax and social contribution, which is an additional federal income tax. The statutory enacted tax rates for income tax and social contribution have been 25% and 9%, respectively, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

The Company’s taxable income is substantially generated in Brazil and is therefore subject to the Brazilian statutory tax rate.

As of  March 31, 2011, Petrobras had a balance of US$2,963 linked to B Series National Treasury Notes, which are accounted for as available-for-sale securities in accordance with Codification Topic 320.

 

On October 23, 2008, the B Series National Treasury Notes were used as a guarantee after the confirmation of the agreements into with Petros, Petrobras’ pension plan (see Note 12 (b)). The nominal value of the NTN-Bs is based on variations in the Amplified Consumer Price Index (IPCA). The maturities of these notes are 2024 and 2035 and they bear interest coupons of 6% p.a., which is paid semi-annually. At March 31, 2011, the balances of the National Treasury Notes - Series B (NTN-B) are measured in accordance to their market value, based on the average prices disclosed by the National Association of Open Market Institutions (ANDIMA).

 

During the first quarter of  2011, Petrobras invested a portion of the resources raised from the Global Offering primarily in Brazilian Treasury Securities with original maturity of more than three months. These securities were classified as trading, in accordance with Codification Topic 320, due to the purpose of selling them in the near term.

8.   Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

a)   Accounting treatment of Assignment Agreement (“Cessão Onerosa”)

On September 3, 2010, Petrobras entered into an agreement with the Brazilian federal government (Assignment Agreement), under which the government assigned to the Company the right to conduct research activities and the exploration and production of fluid hydrocarbons in specified pre-salt areas, subject to a maximum production of five billion barrels of oil equivalent up to 40 years renewable for more five years upon certain conditions.

 

The Assignment Agreement provides for a subsequent revision of the volume and the price, based on an independent third party assessment. If the contract parties determine that the value of the rights acquired is higher than the initial purchase price, the Company may either pay the difference to the Brazilian federal government, in which case is expected the recognition of the difference as Property Plant & Equipment (long-term asset), or reduce the total volume acquired under the contract, in which case there would be no impact on the balance sheet. If the contract parties determine that the value of the rights acquired is lower than the initial purchase price, the Brazilian federal government will pay for the difference in cash and/or bonds, dependent of Government Budget conditions and it is expected a reduction of the amount originally recorded as Property Plant & Equipment (long-term asset) by the amount received from the Brazilian federal government.

 

The Company will record any adjustment to the acquisition cost, when it is probable and determinable it will pay or receive in the future, amounts as a result of the subsequent revision.

 

9.   Financing

 

The Company has utilized project financing to continue its development of exploration, production and related projects.

 

The VIE's associated with the project financing projects are consolidated based on ASC Topic 810-10-25 (“Variable Interest Entities”).

 

The Company's short-term borrowings are principally sourced from commercial banks and    include import and export financing denominated in United States dollars, as follows:

 

The weighted average annual interest rates on outstanding short-term borrowings were 1.93% and  2.31% at  March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Petrobras is subject to a number of commitments and contingencies arising from its normal course of business. Additionally, the operations and earnings of the Company have been, and may be in the future, affected from time to time in varying degrees by political developments and laws and regulations, such as the Federal Government's continuing role as the controlling shareholder of the Company, the status of the Brazilian economy, forced divestiture of assets, tax increases and retroactive tax claims, or environmental regulations. The likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Company are not readily predictable.

 

a)   Litigation – Legal proceedings  provisioned

 

The Company is a defendant in numerous legal actions involving civil, tax, labor, corporate and environment issues arising from its normal course of business. Based on the advice of its internal legal counsel and management’s best judgment, the Company has recorded accruals to provide sufficiently for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable.

 

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the respective amounts accrued by type of claims are as follows:

14. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

 

a)   Litigation - Legal proceedings  provisioned (Continued) 

 

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, in accordance with Brazilian law, the Company had US$1,767 and US$1,674 respectively, into federal deposit accounts to provide for certain claims until they are settled. These amounts are reflected in the balance sheet as restricted deposits for legal proceedings and guarantees.

 

b)      Proceedings classified as possible losses

 

The relevant changes in contingent liabilities related to principal proceedings, disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010, are described below:

 

b.1) Processes included in the period

 

·         Special participation in the Albacora, Carapeba, Cherne, Espadarte, Marimbá, Marlim, Marlim Sul, Namorado, Pampo and Roncador Fields- Campos Basin

 

This special participation was established by Brazilian Petroleum Law 9478/97 and is paid as a form of compensation for oil production activities and is levied on high volume production fields.  The method used by Petrobras to calculate the special participation due for the abovementioned fields is based on a legally legitimate interpretation of Ordinance 10 of January 14, 1999, approved by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP).

 

On February 7, 2011, Petrobras received notice from ANP, which instituted an administrative process and established payment of new sums of money considered to be owed for the period between the first quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2010, referring to amounts that had been underpaid by the concessionaire, totaling US$224 (principal, without fine and interest).

 

On February 22, 2011, Petrobras filed for a hearing for dismissal of the aforementioned official notification. If ANP’s administrative decision is maintained, Petrobras shall evaluate the possibility of a court suit to suspend and annul the collection of the differences of the special participation.

 

If the ANP’s administrative decision is maintained, Petrobras would consider legal action to suspend and cancel the charge of the differences of the special participation.

 

The maximum updated exposure for Petrobras as at March 31, 2011 is US$346.

Through a civil suit, the Company is claiming recognition of its credit resulting from article 22, paragraph 2 of the Petroleum Law, requesting the offsetting of the eventual debt that Petrobras may have with ANP. Both the legal processes, which are being handled jointly, are in the evidentiary stage.

 

The maximum exposure including monetary restatement for Petrobras as of March 31, 2011 is US$354.

17.b) Sale of assets and other information (Continued) 

 

·         Sale of the San Lorenzo Refinery and part of the distribution network in Argentina

 

On May 4, 2010, the Company approved the terms and conditions of the agreement for the sale to Oil Combustibles S.A. of refining and distribution assets in Argentina. The deal comprises a refinery located in San Lorenzo in the province of Santa Fé, a fluvial unit and a fuel trading network connected to this refinery, consisting of approximately 360 sales points and associated wholesaler clients.

 

The transaction was carried out on May 2, 2011 for a total amount of US$102, which includes the previously mentioned assets, as well as the stocks of oil and oil products.  The transaction is subject to the approval of the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de La Competência (CNDC).

 

At March 31, 2011 the assets are recorded under other current assets.

 

·         Operations no Ecuador

 

In 2006, the Ecuadorian government began a series of tax and regulatory reforms with respect to hydrocarbon activities, which significantly affected the agreements for participation in exploration blocks. As from November 24, 2010, all the exploration agreements in force until then had to migrate to service agreements.

  

Petrobras Argentina S.A. (PESA), through Sociedade Ecuador TLC S.A., held a 30% interest in the exploration agreements for block 18 and the unified Palo Azul field, located in the Oriente basin of Ecuador.

 

PESA decided not to accept the final proposal to migrate its agreements to the new contractual model, thus it is the responsibility of the Ecuadorian Government to indemnify the investments made in those exploration blocks.

 

After the deadline for negotiation of the winding up of the contract had expired, the Ecuadorian government reported that it would use criteria different from those previously agreed upon.  The Company disagrees with this procedure and, although it is not renouncing its rights, it recognized a loss in an amount equivalent to US$53, due to the uncertainties involving the process.
