3. Looking back
Clear and very well-defined objective aimed at the leadership of the Brazilian Biodiesel
Market;
Premises of the strategy: obligatory mixture of biodiesel into diesel starting in January
2008 and a business model of direct sale between producers of biodiesel and fuel
distributors;
Decision of CNPE to continue the system of auctions, making important aspects of the
competitive market would be left aside;
Biodiesel pick-up lower than planned in 1Q08 and collection of fines against Petrobras;
Nonpayment of fines, change in the credit scenario and impact on cash flow;
Volume of biodiesel lower than was expected , atypical vegetable oil market variations and
negative financial results.
4. Action
Legal Action
- The volume of biodiesel production was less than what was expected in accordance with
contracts signed for delivery until June 30, 2008;
- Petrobras’s default enabled us to suspend our contractual obligations;
- Brasil Ecodiesel filed a legal action aiming to receive the contractual fines in relation to
biodiesel contracted in February and March 2008, and also non-demandability of potential
collection demands against the company.
Financial Restructuring
- Brasil Ecodiesel began a process of financial restructuring to guarantee compliance with
the contracts currently in force, which allow the company to achieve positive results.;
- Reason: high short-term indebtedness and pressure on Company’s working capital;
- Negotiation with the main creditor banks to restructure the existing debt and obtain new
funding to strengthen the working capital necessary for continuation of operations;
- The Company restructured 82.65% of its financial debt..
5. Financial Restructuring
Debt Renegociation
- Brasil Ecodiesel restructured 82.65% of its financial debt, in the amount of R$ 205.8
millions, being R$ 184.8 millions to be paid within 48 months, out of which 12 month
grace period and 36 months of amortization and $ 21.0 million adjustment to the other
conditions of the Restructuring Financial Agreement.
New Funding
- Brasil Ecodiesel obtained a total amount of R$ 53.3 million to guarantee the working
capital necessary to comply with the contracts in force
6. Prospects
The prospects for the future remain promising: high oil prices, concern about climate
change and increase in demand for energy;
In Brasil, the CNPE ordered that the obligatory addition of biodiesel to mineral-sourced
diesel oil should be increased to 3% as from July 1, 2008;
Increasing the diesel volume sold. The increasing of biodiesel use has made possible
reduction of importation of petroleum-sourced diesel by Brazil
Brasil Ecodiesel’s average selling price in the auctions held on April 10 and 11 of this
year, for supply of biodiesel in the third quarter of 2008, was 48.2% higher than at the
auctions held in November 2007.
On August 14th ANP held the first auction for supply biodiesel in the fourth quarter of
2008, in which we obtained the right to provide 63.5 thousand m3 of biodiesel, at the
average price of R$ 2615.03 / m3, without ICMS, subject to signing the contracts. On
August 15 the ANP will hold another auction for the period.

47.8 mn comes from the sale of 18,918 m3 of biodiesel and the rest of our gross revenue

exchanged for soy oil, in which the grain made available was considered as revenue.

9. Operating Performance
Brasil Ecodiesel posted net revenue of R$ 45.8 million in 2Q08 with a gross loss of R$
13.2 mn;
The negative gross margin was due mainly to the increase in the prices of vegetable oils,
and the low utilization of capacity.

Gross profit -13,049 -13,202 -26,251
Net loss -14,925 -82,536 -97,461
Our net result in the period, although having as its bottom line a loss of R$ 82.5 million, is
significantly impacted by provisions that the Company made, for conservativeness,
relating to events in previous quarters.

11. Operating Performance
Net Revenue in the 2Q08 totaled R$ 45.8 million.
The Cost of Goods Sold stood at R$58.9 million in 2Q08, R$55.0 million of which from
biodiesel sales.
The General and Administrative Expenses was 30.5% more than in the previous
quarter, consisting primarily of a provision of R$ 1.9 mn made for labor-law and
environmental contingencies, the wage increase resulting from the annual wage
negotiation, and extraordinary expenses on outsourcing
Tax expenses : R$1.0 million in 2Q08.
Other Operating Expenses totaled R$ 36.0 mn from provisions for the penalty payments
owed by Petrobras, and provisions for adjustment to market value of the grain inventory.
We posted net financial expenses of R$ 12.8 mn, arising principally from payment of the
charges on loans, especially short-term loans to finance working capital.
We report a net loss of R$ 82.5 mn for 2Q08, mainly reflecting the high provisions for
various losses, a provision for adjustments to market value, and the costs of idle capacity
in our industrial plants.
