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.

b
Investments in affiliated companies where there is significant influence over their management, or an interest of 20% (twenty percent) or more in the voting capital, in subsidiaries and in other companies in the same group or that are under common control, will be appraised by the equity method.
 
c
Property, plant and equipment and recognition of debt in relation to expenditure on leasing. The Company already discloses these effects, including the amounts of depreciation, in a specific Note.
 
d Tax incentives derived from donations or government investment subsidies will no longer be classified as Capital Reserve, but will be recorded in income for the year. Company Management may allocate the portion of the net income derived from these incentives to a Revenue Reserve, which may be excluded from the calculation base for the mandatory dividend.
 
e Interests participation of debenture holders, employees and directors, even in the form of financial instruments, and of employees' welfare or pension funds, that are not classified as expense, shall not be included in the statement of income for the year.
 
f

The Company's Board of Directors is evaluating the effects that the above changes might have on the shareholders' equity and the 2008 results, and will take into consideration the guidelines and definitions to be issued by the regulatory bodies. At present, Management does not feel that it is in a position to calculate the effects of these changes on the income and shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2007.
