Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the interim consolidated statement of financial position of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2018, the related interim consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the related interim consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 14, 2018, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
Estimates related to overpayments on the acquisition of property plant and equipment
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated interim financial information, on September 30, 2014, the Company wrote off US$2,527 million of overpayments on the acquisition of property plant and equipment incorrectly capitalized according to testimony obtained from Brazilian criminal investigations. The note also describes that no additional information has been identified through this date which could materially impact the estimation methodology adopted for the write off previously recorded.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Companys management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated 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 PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. Petrobras Notes to the financial statements - unaudited (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
1. | The Company and its operations |
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), hereinafter referred to as Petrobras or Company, is a partially state-owned enterprise, controlled by the Brazilian Federal Government, of indefinite duration, governed by the terms and conditions under the Brazilian Corporate Law (Law 6,404 of December 15, 1976), Law 13,303 of June 30, 2016 and its Bylaws.
Following the adherence to the market tier called Level 2 at the Brazilian stock exchange (B3), a market tier that requires a high level of corporate governance standards, the Company, its managers and fiscal council members also became subject to provisions set out in the Level 2 Regulation (Regulamento de Listagem do Nível 2 de Governança Corporativa da Brasil Bolsa Balcão B3).
The provisions of the Level 2 Regulation shall prevail over statutory provisions, in the event of damage to the rights of investors of public offers provided for in the Companys Bylaws, except in cases of: (i) prior notice to shareholders made by the Minority Shareholders Committee and eventual dissenting opinion of the controlling shareholder as to the prevalence of said Level 2 Regulation (article 30, paragraphs 4 and 5 and article 40, paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Companys Bylaws); (ii) disputes or controversies that refer to Petrobras activities based on art. 1 of Law 9,478/97, observing the provisions of the Bylaws, regarding the public interest that justified the Companys creation; and (iii) disputes or controversies involving inalienable rights, as provided for in the sole paragraph of article 58 of the Bylaws.
The Company is dedicated to prospecting, drilling, refining, processing, trading and transporting crude oil from producing onshore and offshore oil fields and from shale or other rocks, as well as oil products, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons. In addition, Petrobras carries out energy related activities, such as research, development, production, transport, distribution and trading of all forms of energy, as well as other related or similar activities.
The economic activities linked to its business purpose shall be undertaken by the Company as free competition with other companies according to market conditions, in compliance with the other principles and guidelines of Laws no. 9,478/97 and 10,438/02 (oil & gas and electricity sector regulations, respectively).
Petrobras may perform any of the activities related to its corporate purpose, directly, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, controlled companies, alone or through joint venture with third parties, in Brazil or abroad.
Petrobras may have its activities, provided they are in compliance with its corporate purpose, guided by the Brazilian Federal Government to contribute to the public interest that justified its creation, aiming to meet the objectives of the national energy policy outlined in the Annual Letter of Public Policies and Corporate Governance approved by the Board of Directors.
The Brazilian Federal Government may only guide the Company to assume obligations or responsibilities, including the implementation of investment projects and the assumption of specific operating costs/results, such as those relating to the sale of fuels, as well as any other related activities, under conditions different from those of any other private sector company operating in the same market, when:
I | established by law or regulation, as well as under provisions of agreements with a public entity that is competent to establish such obligation, abiding by the broad publicity of such instruments; and |
II | the cost and revenues thereof have been broken down and disseminated in a transparent manner, including in the accounting plan. |
Moreover, as set out in the Companys Bylaws, the terms of which were amended to conform to provisions under law 13,303/2016, Decree 8,945/2016 and the B3 market tier named New Market (Novo Mercadothe main governance market tier of B3), in the event the Brazilian Federal Government guides the Company to meet the public interest under conditions different from market conditions, the Companys Finance Committee and Minority Shareholders Committee, exercising their advisory role to the Board of Directors, shall assess and measure the difference between such market conditions and the operating result or economic return of the transaction, based on technical and economic criteria for investment valuation and specific operating costs and results under the Companys operations, In this case, for every financial year, the Federal Government shall compensate the Company.

2. | Basis of preparation |
2.1. | Statement of compliance and authorization of unaudited consolidated interim financial statements |
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported. Hence, it should be read together with the Companys audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which include the full set of notes.
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Companys Board of Directors in a meeting held on August 2, 2018.
2.2. | Functional and presentation currency |
The functional currency of Petrobras and all of its Brazilian subsidiaries is the Brazilian Real. The functional currency of most of the Petrobras entities that operate outside Brazil is the U.S. dollar.
Petrobras has selected the U.S. Dollar as its presentation currency to facilitate a more direct comparison to other oil and gas companies. The financial statements have been translated from the functional currency (Brazilian Real) into the presentation currency (U.S. Dollar). All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate at the date of the financial statements; income and expenses, as well as cash flows are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. All exchange differences arising from the translation of the consolidated financial statements from the functional currency into the presentation currency are recognized as cumulative translation adjustments (CTA) within accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity.

3. | The Lava Jato (Car Wash) Operation and its effects on the Company |
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company wrote off US$2,527 of capitalized costs representing amounts that Petrobras overpaid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment in prior years. For additional information about this write off and its approach to estimate amounts overpaid by the Company, see note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements ended December 31, 2017.
In the preparation of these unaudited interim financial statements ended June 30, 2018, the Company has not identified any additional information that would affect the adopted calculation methodology to write off the amounts overpaid. The Company has monitored the progress of investigations by Brazilian authorities under the Lava Jato Operation, as well as an internal investigation carried out by independent law firms. The Company will continue to monitor these investigations for additional information and will review their potential impact on the adjustment made.
We have been formally recognized as a victim of the crimes identified under the Lava Jato investigation by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutors Office, the lower court hearing the case and by the Brazilian Supreme Court. As a result, we have entered into 49 criminal proceedings as an assistant to the prosecutor. In addition, we have entered into four criminal proceedings as an interested party. We have also renewed our commitment to continue cooperating with authorities to clarify the issues and report them regularly to our investors and to the public in general.
In addition, the Company has been taking the necessary procedural steps to seek compensation for damages suffered from the improper payments scheme, including those related to its reputation.
Accordingly, the Company joined 15 public civil suits addressing acts of administrative misconduct filed by the Brazilian Public Prosecutors Office and the Federal Government, including demands for compensation for reputation damages.
To the extent that any of the proceedings resulting from the Lava Jato investigation involve leniency agreements or plea agreements for return of funds, the Company may be entitled to receive a portion of such funds. Nevertheless, the Company is unable to reliably estimate further recoverable amounts at this moment. Any future recoverable amount will be recognized as income when received or when its economic benefits become virtually certain.
The total funds collected through June 30, 2018 under the Lava Jato investigation amounted to US$ 456 (US$ 455 through December 31, 2017).

3.1. | Investigations involving the Company |
Petrobras is not a target of the Lava Jato investigation and is formally recognized as a victim of the improper payments scheme by the Brazilian Authorities.
On November 21, 2014, Petrobras received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting certain documents and information about the Company with respect to, among other things, the Lava Jato investigation and any allegations regarding a violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) is conducting a similar inquiry, and the Company is cooperating with both investigations and intends to continue to do so, working with the independent Brazilian and U.S. law firms that were hired to conduct an independent internal investigation. The investigations carried out by the SEC and DoJ may require the Company to pay penalties or provide other financial relief, or consent to injunctions or orders on future conduct or suffer other penalties.
The inquiries carried out by these authorities remain ongoing, and to date it is not possible to estimate their duration, scope or results. Accordingly, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate about amounts and probability of penalties that may be required or if other financial relief may be provided in connection with any SEC or DoJ investigation.
On December 15, 2015, the State of São Paulo Public Prosecutors Office issued the Order of Civil Inquiry 01/2015, establishing a civil proceeding to investigate the existence of potential damages caused by Petrobras to investors in the stock market. The Company has provided all relevant information required by the authorities.
4. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in these consolidated interim financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the changes arising from the adoption of IFRS 9Financial Instruments, IFRS 15Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration. The provisions under these standards and interpretation became effective on January 1, 2018.
4.1. | IFRS 9Financial Instruments |
IFRS 9 establishes, among others, new requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets, measurement and recognition of impairment of financial assets, changes in the terms of financial assets and liabilities, hedge accounting and disclosure.
As permitted by IFRS 9, the company did not restate prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment and modification of financial assets and liabilities) changes. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 were recognized at January 1, 2018 in retained earnings within equity. Information on the consolidated impacts is presented below:

The new hedge accounting requirements were applied prospectively. The cash flow hedge relationships of highly probable future exports for the purposes of IAS 39 were considered as hedges for IFRS 9 purposes, since they also qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with the new standard.
12
The main accounting policies following the adoption of IFRS 9 at January 1, 2018 are shown below:
4.1.1. | Classification and measurement of financial assets |
Financial assets are generally classified and subsequently measured based on the business model in which assets are managed and their contractual cash flow characteristics, as follows:
| Amortised cost: when the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the business models objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; |
| Fair value through other comprehensive income: i) when the contractual terms of a debt instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and the business models objective to collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets; and ii) equity instruments not held for trading purposes for which the Company has made an irrevocable election in their initial recognition to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss, and |
| Fair value through profit or loss: if the financial asset does not meet the criteria for the two aforementioned categories. |
The table below presents comparative information of marketable securities between the former classification and measurement in accordance with IAS 39 and the current requirements following the effectiveness of IFRS 9:

4.1.2. | Modification of contractual cash flows |
When the contractual cash flows of a financial liability measured at amortized cost are renegotiated or modified and this change is not substantial, its gross carrying amount should reflect the discounted present value of its cash flows under the new terms using the original effective interest rate. The difference between the book value immediately prior to such modification and the new gross carrying amount is recognized as gain or loss in profit or loss.
4.1.3. | Impairment of financial assets |
An allowance for expected credit losses is recognized on a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost, including lease receivables, and on financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company measures expected credit losses for short-term trade receivables using a provision matrix based on unadjusted historical observed default rates when such information represents the best estimate, or such information adjusted by current and forward-looking information available without undue cost or effort.
The Company measures the allowance for expected credit losses of other financial assets based on their 12-month expected credit losses. However, whenever their credit risks have increased significantly since their initial recognition, the allowance for expected credit losses is based on their lifetime expected credit losses.
Significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
When determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of default on initial recognition and at the reporting date by using certain indicators, such as the actual or expected significant change in the financial instruments external credit rating and information on payment delays.
Regardless of the assessment of significant increase in credit risk, a delinquency period of 30 days past due triggers the definition of significant increase in credit risk on a financial asset, unless otherwise demonstrated by reasonable and sustainable information.
13
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is considered to have low credit risk at the reporting date. The financial instrument has a low credit risk in case of low risk of default, the counterparty has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. The Company determines if a financial instrument has low credit risk based on external credit ratings or internal methodologies.
Definition of default
The Company assumes that a default occurs whenever financial assets are at least 90 days past due and or the counterparty does not comply with the legal obligation to pay its debts when due.
Measurement of expected credit losses
The measurement of credit loss comprises the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate weighted by the probability of default.
The probability of default, losses (the magnitude of the loss if a default occurs) and exposure to default are factored into the measurement of the expected credit loss.
The evaluation of default probability takes into account data of the main credit rating agencies, as well as internal valuation methodologies. The loss due to a default also takes into account the probability of expected cash flows from collateral (collateral assets) and other credit enhancements that are part of the contractual terms, less the costs of obtaining and selling that collateral. Exposure to default comprises the gross carrying amount of the financial asset at the reporting date.
Disclosure
The Company recognizes in profit or loss the impairment on financial assets measured at amortized cost.
4.1.4. | Hedge Accounting |
At inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents its objective and strategy, including identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the hedged risk and evaluation of hedge effectiveness requirements. The hedge relationship meets all of the hedge effectiveness requirements when:
| An economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; |
| The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from the economic relationship; and |
| The hedge ratio is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Company uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. |
The Company applies cash flow hedge accounting for certain transactions. Hedging relationships qualify for cash flow hedges when they involve the hedging of exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction that may impact the statement of income.
Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of such hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income within equity and recycled to the statement of income in finance income (expense) in the periods when the hedged item affects the statement of income. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are immediately recognized in finance income (expense).
When the hedging instrument expires or settled in advance or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective is recorded separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income is immediately reclassified from equity to the statement of income.
In addition, when a financial instrument designated as a hedging instrument expires or settled, the Company may replace it with another financial instrument in a manner such that the hedge relationship continues to occur. Likewise, whenever a hedged transaction effectively occurs, its financial instrument previously designated as a hedging instrument may be designate for a new hedge relationship.
14
4.2. | IFRS 15Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
The company has determined when and by what amounts revenue from contracts with customer should be recognized according to the following five step approach: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract, 5) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. A performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of that good or service.
For the purposes of the transition requirements, the Company applied this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of its application recognized at its effective date within retained earnings. However, the changes arising from the adoption of IFRS 15 only affected the way certain revenues from contracts with customers are disclosed within the statement of income and did not affect net income. Accordingly, there were no impacts within retained earnings (equity).
The following table presents the impacts of adoption of this standard for the first half of 2018:

The Company acting as an agent
In accordance with accounting policies at December 31, 2017, the Company was regarded as the principal in certain transactions. Therefore, the revenues from these sales, cost of the product sold and sales expenses were presented separately in the statement of income. However, under the new standards requirements, the Company acts as an agent because it does not obtain control of goods or services provided by another party before it is transferred to the customer. From January 1, 2018, revenues from these sales have been presented in the statement of income net of their cost of sales and sales expenses.
Non-exercised right Income (breakage)
In accordance with accounting policies at December 31, 2017, the Company regarded the income from rights not exercised by customers in certain take or pay and ship or pay contracts as penalties revenue and presented it as other income and expenses in the statement of income. However, according to the new standards requirements, the Company has accounted for and presented its income from rights not exercised by customers as sales revenues in the statement of income, as from January 1, 2018.
4.3. | IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration |
Based on the transition provisions of IFRIC 22, the Company has applied the new requirements prospectively from January 1, 2018. IFRIC 22 clarifies that the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.
5. | Accounting estimates |
The preparation of interim financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions for certain assets, liabilities and other transactions. These estimates and assumptions include oil and gas reserves and their impacts to other parts of the financial statements, the main assumptions and cash-generating units identified for impairment testing of assets, pension and medical benefits liabilities, provisions for legal proceedings, dismantling of areas and environmental remediation, deferred income taxes, cash flow hedge accounting and impairment of trade receivables. Although our management uses assumptions and judgments that are periodically reviewed, the actual results could differ from these estimates.
15
Except for the impairment of trade receivables estimate, which has been based on the expected credit losses model since the effectiveness of IFRS 9 at January 1, 2018 (see note 4.1.3), information on those accounting estimates is presented in note 5 to the Companys annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The Company uses judgment for inputs and assumptions, such as risk of default, the determination of whether or not there has been a significant increase in credit risk and expectation of recovery, that are factored into the estimate of expected credit losses.

The principal uses of funds in the first half of 2018 were for debt service obligations (US$ 27,072), including pre-payment of debts, and acquisition of PP&E and intangibles assets (US$ 5,860). The uses of funds were principally provided by operating activities (US$ 13,948), proceeds from financing (US$ 8,149) and disposal of assets (US$ 4,914).
Short-term financial investments in Brazil primarily consist of investments in funds holding Brazilian Federal Government Bonds and related repo investments that mature within three months as of the date of their acquisition. Short-term financial investments abroad comprise time deposits that mature in three months or less from the date of their acquisition, highly-liquid automatic investment accounts, interest checking accounts and other short-term fixed income instruments.
Expected credit losses on cash and cash equivalents were not material at June 30, 2018.

Marketable securities classified as fair value through profit or loss refer mainly to investments in Brazilian Federal Government Bonds. These financial investments have maturities of more than three months and are mostly classified as current assets due to their maturity or the expectation of their realization in the short term.
At June 30, 2018, expected credit losses on marketable securities measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income were immaterial. In addition, the amounts of marketable securities at December 31, 2017 classified by categories in accordance with the former accounting practice (IAS 39) are presented in note 4.1.

The Company supplies fuel oil, natural gas, and other products to power distributors controlled by Eletrobras and to independent power producers (Produtores Independentes de Energia PIE) that operate in the isolated electricity system in the northern region of Brazil. This isolated system comprises electricity generation and distribution systems not connected to the Brazilian National Interconnected Power Grid (Sistema Interligado Nacional).
18
The costs of the isolated electricity system is substantially covered by the Fuel Consumption Account (Conta de Consumo de Combustível CCC), a fund regulated and oversaw by the Brazilian National Electricity Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia ElétricaANEEL), that receives funds from the Brazilian Energy Development Account (Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético - CDE). The CDE is a fund created by the Brazilian Federal Government to promote power development in Brazil and its transfers of funds to CCC are based on fees paid by all of concessionaires of electricity distribution and transmission in Brazil. However, regulatory and administrative issues have impacted funds flows from CCC to the companies operating in the isolated system since 2013, which also affected the payments of distributors controlled by Eletrobras for products supplied by the Company.
As a result, on December 31, 2014, the Company (Petrobras parent company and its subsidiary BR Distribuidora) entered into debt acknowledgement agreements (DAAs 2014) concerning the balance of its receivables as of November 30, 2014 with distributors controlled by Eletrobras, to be settled in 120 monthly installments updated by the Selic interest rate (Brazilian short-term interest rate). The balance of DAAs 2014 was 89% collateralized by payables from the CDE to the CCC and, despite some periodic delays, these payments have continued. At December 31, 2017, the amounts of DAAs 2014 totaled US$ 3,107.
The Company continued to sell its products to the isolated electricity system but took several measures to safeguard its interests arising from sales after the signing of the DAAs 2014, including judicial collection of all overdue receivables, as well as suspension of fuel supply on credit. Thus, the allowance for credit losses on receivables from electricity sector amounted US$ 2,522 at December 31, 2017, primarily reflected the historical defaults of companies operating in the isolated electricity system in the northern region of Brazil relating to receivables not under DAAs 2014.
Following the inclusion of the power distributors controlled by Eletrobras within the Investments Partnership Program, a Brazilian Federal program that foresees new infrastructure investments and privatizations, along with the process of privatization of the distributors controlled by Eletrobras, the Company intensified negotiations with the Eletrobras group aiming at reaching an agreement that would resolve disputes and mitigate future defaults.
Accordingly, both parties reached an agreement on April 30, 2018 under which the structure of collateralization under the DAAs 2014 was recomposed and new debt acknowledgement agreements comprising a portion of receivables under judicial disputes were signed (DAAs 2018). In addition, parties also entered into debt assumption agreements in which Eletrobras will assume a significant portion of overdue receivables in case of power distributors privatization.
Following improvements in Eletrobras credit risk, the new collateralization structure under DAAs 2014 provides for replacement of original collateral by guaranties provided by Eletrobras (54%), collateral based on credits from Brazilian Treasury (34%) and new payables from the CDE (12%).
However, the replacement with credits from Brazilian Treasury, expected to be in place by the end of June 2018, has not occurred as the Provisional Measure 814/2017 lost its effectiveness since June 1, 2018. In addition, the Bill 10,332/18 that outlines the previous condition for such collateralization was approved by the Brazilian House of Representatives on July 11, 2018 but is awaiting Brazilian Senate approval and will only be effective after signed into law. Regarding the collateralization based on new payables from the CDE, Eletrobras and relevant authorities are still discussing alternatives to document such pledge.
Due to extended period necessary for changes in collateralization structure of DAAs 2014 with respect to credits from Brazilian Treasury and payables from the CDE, the Company recognized US$ 103 as allowance for expected credit losses over such receivables due the lower effectiveness of their collateral. Amendments to the April 30, 2018 agreement are under discussion in order to reflect the new conditions and to provide legal security to both parties. At June 30, 2018, the outstanding amount of the DAAs 2014 was US$ 2,334, net of expected credit losses.
The DAAs 2018 comprise receivables from sales of fuel oil and natural gas, which had been past due since December 2014 and under judicial collection, in the gross nominal value of US$ 1,752. These agreements outline the settlement of this amount in 36 monthly instalments bearing interest at 124.75% of the Brazilian interbank deposit rate (CDI). Of this amount, US$ 1,293 relates to BR Distribuidora which is guaranteed by Eletrobras but only until the effective privatization of the power distributors and is nullified if privatization does not occur. The remaining US$ 459 relates to Petrobras parent company and Eletrobras also guarantees these receivables until the privatization, however, in this case, an unsuccessful privatization process will not lead to the cancellation of the guarantee. Considering the conditions attached to these guarantees, the Company recognized an asset of US$ 453 in the second quarter of 2018. At June 30, 2018, the outstanding amount of DAAs 2018 was US$ 456.
Based on the agreement reached on April 30, the Company recognized US$ 580 as finance income in the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflecting receivables under the DAAs 2018 recognized at their fair value due to the material changes in their contractual terms.
19
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company accounted for allowance for expected credit losses amounting to US$ 393 (US$ 23 in the first half of 2017), primarily regarding receivables from sale of gas outside the scope of DAAs and due to the current lower collateralization of DAAs 2014.

9. | Disposal of Assets and other changes in organizational structure |
The Company has an active partnership and divestment program, which takes into account opportunities for divestments in several areas in which it operates. The divestment portfolio is dynamic, meaning that market conditions, legal matters and negotiations may affect the Companys evaluation of ongoing and potential transactions. This program is an essential initiative in the Companys 2018-2022 Business and Management Plan (2018-2022 BMP) and its decision-making methodology was reviewed and approved by the Brazilian Federal Auditors Office (Tribunal de Contas da União TCU). Along with other initiatives, the partnership and divestment program will enable the Company to reduce and improve its indebtedness and debt profile, respectively. For the 2017-2018 period, the target of proceeds from divestments is US$ 21 billion.
On July 3, 2018, the Brazilian Supreme Court issued a preliminary injunction in the context of a direct action of unconstitutionality (ADI 5624 MC/DF) that challenges certain provisions under the State-Owned Companies Law (Law 13.303/2016). According to this injunction, competitive processes related to partnerships in refining business that would result in transfer of control are suspended, including the following divestments projects:
| Araucária Nitrogenados S.A.; |
| Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG). This process has been suspended since the beginning of June, following a judicial decision of the Federal Regional Court; and |
| Partnerships in the following refineries: Landulpho Alves (RLAM), Abreu e Lima (RNEST), Alberto Pasqualini (REFAP) and Presidente Getúlio Vargas (REPAR). |
9.1. | Disposal of assets |
Second installment of the exploratory block BM-S-8 sale
On July 28, 2016 the Board of Directors of Petrobras approved the disposal of the Companys 66% interest in the exploratory block BM S-8 to Statoil Brasil Óleo e Gás Ltda, which includes the Carcará area located in the pre-salt of Santos Basin, for the amount of US$ 2.5 billion.
The first installment of US $ 1.25 billion, corresponding to 50% of the transaction value, was received on November 22, 2016, and the remaining amount relates to two contingent payments.
The production sharing agreement with respect to the Norte de Carcará area, entered into by the Brazilian Federal Government, Statoil, Petrogal and Exxon, was made official on February 2, 2018 through the Brazilian Federal Register (official gazette). This fact completed the conditions precedent for the second payment of the exploratory block BMS-8. Accordingly, the Company received US$ 300 on March 21, 2018 and accounted it for within other income and expenses.
The third installment of this sale, in the amount of US$ 950, is still pending of certain future events related to the signing of a unitization agreement.
Disposal of Liquigás
On November 17, 2016 the Companys Board of Directors approved the disposal of its wholly-owned subsidiary Liquigás Distribuidora S.A, a group entity from the RT&M business segment (Refining, Transportation and Marketing), to Companhia Ultragaz S.A., a subsidiary of Ultrapar Participações S.A. In January 2017, this sale was approved at Ultrapars and Petrobras Shareholders Meetings in the amount of US$ 828.
According to an official statement released by the General Superintendence of CADE (SG) on June 30, 2017, additional diligence was required in order to make a decision regarding on market concentration aspects of this sale. On August 28, 2017, the SG reported some concerns about market concentration that may result from this transaction and submitted its opinion to the CADE court.
Based on pending conditions precedent to the transaction at December 31, 2017, including CADE approval, the related assets and liabilities remained classified as held for sale at that date.
On February 28, 2018, the CADE court ruled on this matter and dismissed this sale. The sales and purchase agreement was subject to a termination clause providing for compensation to the Company in case of such decision. Accordingly, the Company received US$ 88 on March 13, 2018 and the related assets and liabilities are no longer classified as held for sale.

Following price adjustments in the transaction closing, reversals of impairment in the amount of US$ 77 were accounted for within other income and expenses.
Strategic alliance with Total

The market value of these shares does not necessarily reflect the realizable value upon sale of a large block of shares.
Braskems shares are publicly traded on stock exchanges in Brazil and abroad. As of June 30, 2018, the quoted market value of the Companys investment in Braskem was US$ 3,685 based on the quoted values of both Petrobras interest in Braskems common stock (47% of the outstanding shares), and preferred stock (22% of the outstanding shares). However, there is extremely limited trading of the common shares, since non-signatories of the shareholders agreement hold only approximately 3% of the common shares.
Since July 2017, the Company has been negotiating with Odebrecht S.A., the controlling shareholder of Braskem S.A, to revise the terms and conditions of the Braskem S.A. Shareholders Agreement, signed on February 8, 2010. This revision aims to improve Braskems corporate governance and the corporate relationship between the parties, with the purpose of creating value for all Braskem shareholders.
On June 14, 2018, the Company received a correspondence from Odebrecht S.A, in which it communicated that it has initiated negotiations with LyondellBasell, a public company headquartered in Rotterdam, for a potential transaction involving the transfer of Odebrechts entire interest in Braskem. The negotiation is in its preliminary stage and the parties entered into a confidentiality agreement.
This transaction is subject, among other conditions, to due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements and all necessary approvals. There is no binding obligation between the parties to assure the conclusion of the transaction.
Depending on the outcome of this transaction, the Company will assess the terms and conditions of the LyondellBasells offer in the context of exercising its tag-along right as set forth in Braskem S.A. Shareholders Agreement.
25
Given the operational relationship between Petrobras and Braskem, the recoverable amount of the investment for impairment testing purposes was determined based on value in use, considering future cash flow projections and the manner in which the Company can derive value from this investment via dividends and other distributions to arrive at its value in use. As the recoverable amount was higher than the carrying amount, no impairment losses were recognized for this investment.
Information on the main estimates used in the cash flow projections to determine the value in use of Braskem is set out in Note 14 to the audited financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

11.2. | Concession for exploration of oil and natural gasAssignment Agreement (Cessão Onerosa) |
Petrobras and the Brazilian Federal Government entered into the Assignment Agreement in 2010, which grants the Company the right to carry out prospecting and drilling activities for oil, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons located in the pre-salt area, subject to a maximum production of five billion barrels of oil equivalent. The agreement has a term of forty years and is renewable for a further five years subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2018, the Companys property, plant and equipment include the amount of US$ 19,401 related to the Assignment Agreement (US$ 22,614 as of December 31, 2017).
Petrobras has already declared commerciality in fields of all six blocks under this agreement: Franco (Búzios), Florim (Itapu), Nordeste de Tupi (Sépia), Entorno de Iara (Norte de Berbigão, Sul de Berbigão, Norte de Sururu, Sul de Sururu, Atapu), Sul de Guará (Sul de Sapinhoá) and Sul de Tupi (Sul de Lula).
The agreement establishes that its review procedures will commence immediately after the declaration of commerciality for each area and must be based on reports by independent experts engaged by Petrobras and the ANP.
If the review of the Assignment Agreement determines that the value of acquired rights is greater than the amount initially paid, the Company may be required to pay the difference to the Brazilian Federal Government, or may proportionally reduce the total volume of barrels acquired. If the review determines that the value of the acquired rights is lower than initially paid by the Company, the Brazilian Federal Government will reimburse the Company for the difference by delivering cash or bonds or equivalent means of payment, subject to budgetary regulations.
The formal review procedures for each block are based on costs incurred over the exploration phase, and estimated costs and production for the development period. The review of the Assignment Agreement may result in renegotiation of: (i) the amount of the agreement; (ii) the total volume (in barrels of oil) to be produced; (iii) the term of the agreement; and (iv) the minimum percentages of local content.
The information gathered after drilling over 50 exploratory wells and performing extended well tests in this area, as well as the extensive knowledge acquired on the pre-salt layer of Santos Basin, made possible the identification of volumes exceeding five million barrels of oil equivalent.
In November 2017, the Company set up an internal commission responsible for the negotiation with the Brazilian Federal Government, composed of representatives of the Chief Exploration and Production Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
In January 2018, the Brazilian Federal Government established, through the Interministerial Ordinance No. 15/2018, the Interministerial Commission responsible for negotiating and concluding the terms of this review.
The negotiations are ongoing and have taken into account appraisals by independent experts engaged by both parties and their respective reports. As at the date of issue of these financial statements, the final amount to be established for this agreement is not defined.
The identification of the volume exceeding five million barrels of oil equivalent provides an opportunity for both parties to reach an agreement in case of compensation to the Company arising from the review. Therefore, aiming to support an eventual negotiation where this compensation would be paid through the right over exceeding volume, the Company is complementing its assessment based on reports issued by the independent experts it has engaged.
This review process of the Assignment Agreement has been monitored by the Minority Shareholders Committee, which is composed of two board members elected by the minority shareholders and by a third independent member with knowledge in technical-financial analysis of investment projects. This Committee provides support to the boards decisions through opinions about related matters.
On July 5, 2018, the Brazilian House of Representatives approved a bill amending the Assignment Agreement, which may make possible, if approved by the Brazilian Senate and signed by the President, a review of the contract clauses, sale of rights to produce exceeding volume and partial transfers of areas under this regime to third parties.

The Audit Committee reports monthly to the Board of Directors.
Transactions with entities controlled by key management personnel or by their close family members are also approved in advance by the Audit Committee regardless of the amount involved.
Transactions with the Brazilian Federal Government, including its agencies or similar bodies and controlled entities, which are under the scope of Board of Directors approval, must be preceded by the Audit Committee and Minority Shareholders Committee assessment and must have prior approval of, at least, 2/3 of the board members.
The related-party transactions policy also aims to ensure an adequate and diligent decision-making process for the Companys key management.
17.1. | Transactions with joint ventures, associates, government entities and pension plans |
The Company has engaged, and expects to continue to engage, in the ordinary course of business in numerous transactions with joint ventures, associates, pension plans, as well as with the Companys controlling shareholder, the Brazilian federal government, which includes transactions with banks and other entities under its control, such as financing and banking, asset management and others.

In addition to the aforementioned transactions, Petrobras and the Brazilian Federal Government entered into the Assignment Agreement in 2010, which grants the Company the right to carry out prospecting and drilling activities for hydrocarbons located in the pre-salt area limited to the production of five billion barrels of oil equivalent.
For detailed information on Assignment Agreement, see note 11.2.
17.2. | Diesel Price Subsidy Program |
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company joined the two first phases of the Diesel Price Subsidy Program established by the Brazilian Federal Government pursuant to Provisional Measure 838, Decree 9,392 and Decree 9,403 of 2018. This program grants reimbursements to diesel producers and importers to the extent that their selling prices to the domestic distributors are equal or lower than prices determined by relevant regulation. The amount of this government grant results from the following parameters:
| US$ 0.02 dollars (R$0.07) per liter of diesel sold from June 1 to June 7, 2018; and |
| Difference between reference price provided for by ANP (Preço de ReferênciaPR) and the sales price to domestic distributors (Preço de ComercializaçãoPC), limited to US$ 0.08 dollars (R$ 0.30) per liter, for diesel sales from June 8 to July 31, 2018. |
The PR is driven by diesel international prices and U.S. dollar exchange rates. Differences falling above US$ 0.08 dollars in the second phase of the program will be held in the next program phase, the parameters of which are still pending regulation. In case of a lower PR when compared to PC, the program foresees reimbursement to the Brazilian Federal Government.
The Brazilian Federal Government established a US$ 2,539 threshold for this program (R$ 9,500 million), meaning that the subsidy will be ceased if the total grants provided for by the government meets such amount before December 31, 2018.
The settlement of the subsidy occurs to the extent the Company provides all necessary information to ANP in order to prove its fiscal regularity and prices of diesel sold in accordance with the relevant regulation. The period of the subsidy computation is up to thirty days and ANP must confirm the grant within nine business days after receiving all the necessary documentation.
36
Due to the complexity in meeting all the requirements in the first phase of the program, the company is seeking alternatives to prove to ANP that its sales prices were in accordance with relevant regulation during this phase, which will enable the recognition and collection of the subsidy in the amount of US$ 17.
Regarding the second phase of the program, the Company gathered and sent to ANP all information required to receive US$ 226 from sales from June 8 to July 7, 2018 and, at the date of the issue of these interim financial statements, the assessment of the documentation by this authority is ongoing. Such revenue recognition occurs when the diesel is sold and delivered to distributors and the right to the grant is recognized within current account receivables. Through June 30, 2018, the Company accounted for US$ 153 as accounting receivables from the program with respect to sales within the second phase (note 7.1).
On July 31, 2018, the Brazilian Federal Government enacted the Provisional Measure 847/2018 extending the program to December 31, 2018 with respect to sales of road diesel. In addition, the Decree 9,454 and ANP Resolution 738 enacted on July 31 and August 1, 2018, respectively, brought up new rules to govern the continuity of the program. The Company is assessing its adherence to the third phase of the program and, if it occurs until the fifth business day of the subsidy computation period, from August 1 to August 31, 2018, its effects will be applied retrospectively to August 1, 2018.

In the first half of 2018, charges related to compensation of the board members and executive officers of the Petrobras group amounted to US$ 13 (US$ 12 in the first half of 2017).
The compensation of the Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors is apart from the fixed compensation set for the Board Members and, therefore, has not been classified under compensation of Petrobras key management personnel.
In accordance with Brazilian regulations applicable to companies controlled by the Brazilian Government, Board members who are also members of the Audit Committee are only compensated with respect to their Audit Committee duties. The total compensation concerning these members was US$ 57 thousand in the first half of 2018 (US$ 68 thousand with social security and related charges).
The monthly compensation of Audit Committee members is fixed at 10% of monthly average executive officers compensation, excluding certain social security benefits and paid vacation.
In the first half of 2018, the Board of Directors approved the variable compensation program (PRV) of the Board of Executive Officers for the year 2018. The amount of compensation to be paid varies according to the percentage of achievement of the financial and operational targets. The program foresees compensations being disbursed through 5 years and may also trigger other compensations to officers from 2019 provided the achievement of certain prerequisites.
The Companys General Shareholders Meeting held on April 26, 2018 determined the amount of US$ 8 as the threshold of executive officers and board members compensation for the period from April 2018 to March 2019, as well as approved the increase in the number of board members to 11.

19.4. | New Taxation Model for the Oil and Gas Industry |
On December 28, 2017, the Brazilian federal government enacted Law No. 13,586, which outlines a new taxation model for the oil and gas industry and, along with the Decree 9,128/2017, establishes a new special regime for exploration, development and production of oil, gas and other liquid hydrocarbons named Repetro-Sped.
Due to the application of this new model, the Company expects greater legal stability in the oil and gas industry in Brazil, which may encourage higher investments and reduce the number of litigations involving the industry players.
Regarding the Repetro-Sped, this regime enhances the former Repetro (Special Customs Regime for the Export and Import of Goods designated to Exploration and Production of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves), notably providing for tax relief over goods permanently held in Brazil in addition to the previous relief related to temporary admissions. Therefore, we are assessing transfers in the ownership of certain oil and gas assets from foreign subsidiaries to the parent company in Brazil. The regime will expire in December, 2040.
Following the creation of Repetro-Sped, the Brazilian states, pursuant to a decision of the Brazilian National Council of Finance Policies (CONFAZ), agreed to allow tax incentives relating to VAT (ICMS) to the extent each state enacts its specific regulation providing for the tax relief on oil and gas industry.
At the date of issue of these unaudited interim financial statements, the states enacting new regulations governing the VAT tax incentives authorized by the Brazilian Federal Government were: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Espírito Santo, Sergipe, Amazonas, Ceará, Minas Gerais and Piaui.
For additional information on the main provisions under Law 13,586/17, Decree 9,128 /17 and VAT (ICMS) tax incentives over the Repetro-Sped, see notes 21.4.1 and 21.4.2 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The increase in deferred tax assets in the first half of 2018 is mainly attributable to foreign exchange effects over the Companys finance debt.
The Company recognizes the deferred tax assets based on projections of future taxable profits in a ten-year perspective supported by the Business and Management Plan, which is revised annually.

20.1. | Pension and medical benefits |
The Company sponsors defined benefit and variable contribution pension plans in Brazil and abroad, as well as defined-benefit medical plans for employees in Brazil (active and retirees) and their dependents. See note 22 to the audited consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2017 for detailed information about pension and medical benefits sponsored by the Company.
Deficit settlement plan Petros Plan
The Petros Plan has in place a deficit settlement plan (PED) due to its accumulated deficit until 2015 in the amount of US$ 5,788. This amount was updated based on interest and inflation and reached US$ 8,253 at December 31, 2017. The PED was approved by the Executive Council of Petros Foundation on September 12, 2017 and assessed by the Company and the Secretariat of Management and Governance for the State-owned Companies (Secretaria de Coordenação e Governança das Empresas Estatais SEST).
The additional contributions from participants and sponsors commenced in March 2018. Certain participants appealed before the judiciary and have had their contributions suspended based on judicial injunctions. In these cases, the Company has not paid its parity contributions. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company paid US$ 80 with respect of contributions under the PED.
Pursuant to relevant regulation, the sponsors and participants will cover this deficit based on their respective proportions of regular contributions (parity basis). Accordingly, the Company will cover approximately US$ 4,141 of this deficit.
Split of Petros Plan
On February 15, 2018, the PREVIC authorized the split of Petros Plan into two new separate plans: Petros Plan Renegotiated and Petros Plan Non-renegotiated. The Petros Plan split has been in place since April 1, 2018.
This split arose from the renegotiation procedures held in 2006-2007 period and in 2012, when 75% of the participants accepted the option to change to a model that sets forth solely inflation indexation on the annual adjustment of their benefits. The other participants benefits remained adjusted by the same rate as the Petrobras workforce had their salaries adjusted.
42
The balance of Petros plan was transferred to the new plans based on future commitments on a participant basis. As there were no changes in post-retirement benefits rules, the actuarial liabilities of these plans will be reviewed during the annual actuarial assumptions review to be carried out in December 2018.
Changes in the net defined benefits are set out as follows:

As of June 30, 2018 the Company had pledged crude oil and oil products volumes, totaling US$ 4,336, as collateral for the Terms of Financial Commitment (TFC) signed by Petrobras and Petros in 2008 (US$ 4,067 as of December 31, 2017).
For the first half of 2018, the Companys contribution to the defined contribution portion of the Petros Plan 2 was US$ 127 (US$ 140 for the first half of 2017 ) recognized in the statement of income.
20.2. | Profit sharing |
The Companys profit sharing benefits comply with Brazilian legal requirements and those of the Brazilian Secretariat of Coordination and Governance of State-Owned Enterprises (SEST), of the Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management, and of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and are computed based on the consolidated net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras.
The amount of profit sharing benefits is computed based on the results of six corporate indicators, for which annual goals are defined by the Executive Board and approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to the review of the Business and Management Plan (BMP). The annual goals are based on the results of the following corporate indicators:
| Maximum permissible levels of crude oil and oil products spill; |
| Lifting cost excluding production taxes in Brazil; |
| Crude oil and NGL production in Brazil; |
| Feedstock processed - excluding NGL - in Brazil, |
| Vessel operating efficiency; and |
| Percentage of compliance with natural gas delivery schedules. |
The results of the six individual goals are factored into a consolidated result that will determine the percentage of the profit to be distributed as a profit sharing benefit to employees (6.25% at June 30, 2018). However, in the event the Company records a net loss for the period and all the annual goals are achieved, the profit sharing benefit will be half a month salary for each employee added to half of the lowest amount of profit sharing paid in the prior year, as established in the Companys collective bargaining agreement.
The subsidiary Liquigás and the joint operations Fábrica Carioca de Catalizadores (FCC) and Ibiritermo have their specific methodology for profit sharing computation pursuant to their own collective bargaining agreement, apart from other entities of the group.
Based on the estimates in the first half of 2018, the Company recognized a provision of US$ 319 as other income and expenses (US$ 93 in the first half of 2017) regarding profit sharing benefits in accordance with clauses of the collective bargaining agreement, including US$ 3 as complement of the profit sharing for 2017.

20.3. | Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan |
The Company has implemented voluntary separation incentive plans (PDIV) which have had the following cumulative adherence by employees since their announcement:

(*) | On January 29, 2018, Petrobras Distribuidora reopened its 2016 separation incentive plan PIDV (BR 2016) for new enrollments up to March 2, 2018. |
20.4. | New Employee Career and Compensation Plan |
On July 2, 2018, the Company released to its workforce the Employee Career and Compensation Plan (Plano de Carreiras e Remuneração PCR), an upgrade of the remuneration and career model driven by initiatives outlined in BMP 2018-2022. The new plan enhances the Companys people management model by means of a number of criteria that enables higher rewards based on skills and performances, broader mobility and career development.
The PCR results in a greater alignment with practices suggested by Secretariat of Management and Governance for the State-owned Companies (Secretaria de Coordenação e Governança das Empresas Estatais SEST), and employees may join the program until September 14, 2018. Employees that do not adhere to the program will remain in the current career plan (PCACPlano de Classificação e Avaliação de Cargos).
The Company has granted monetary incentive to employees joining the program in order to stimulate a higher number of enrollments to the plan better aligned with its strategic goals, thus avoiding higher administrative costs by maintaining two types of career and compensation plans.
The PCR implementation will impact the Companys financial statements in the third quarter of 2018 to the extent that employees enroll in the new plan. The Company has already disbursed US$ 131 with respect to the 15,502 enrollments by July 10, 2018.
21. | Equity |
21.1. | Share capital (net of share issuance costs) |
As of June 30, 2018, subscribed and fully paid share capital, net of issuance costs, was US$ 107,101, represented by 7,442,454,142 outstanding common shares and 5,602,042,788 outstanding preferred shares, all of which are registered, book-entry shares with no par value.
Preferred shares have priority on returns of capital, do not grant any voting rights and are non-convertible into common shares.
21.2. | Other comprehensive income |
For the first half of 2018, the Company primarily recognized as other comprehensive income the following effects:
| Cumulative translation adjustment loss of US$ 6,255, primarily reflecting translations from the main functional currency of Petrobras group (Brazilian Real) into the presentation currency (U.S. Dollar); |
45
| Foreign exchange rate variation loss of US$ 4,760, after taxes and amounts reclassified to the statement of income, recognized in the Companys equity, as a result of its cash flow hedge accounting policy. At June 30, 2018, the cumulative balance of foreign exchange variation losses, net of tax effects, was US$ 14,333 (see note 30.2). |

28. | Provisions for legal proceedings |
28.1. | Provisions for legal proceedings, judicial deposits and contingent liabilities |
The Company recognizes provisions based on the best estimate of the costs of proceedings for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required and that can be reliably estimated. These proceedings mainly include:
| Labor claims, in particular: (i) opt-out claims related to a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employees position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e RegimeRMNR) is calculated; (ii) lawsuits relating to overtime pay and (iii) actions of outsourced employees; |
| Tax claims including: (i) claims relating to Brazilian federal tax credits applied that were disallowed; (ii) demands relating to the VAT (ICMS) tax collection on jet fuel sales and (iii) alleged misappropriation of VAT (ICMS) tax credits on import of platforms; |
| Civil claims relating to: (i) agreement to settle the Consolidated Securities Class Action before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (ii) collection of royalties over the shale extraction; (iii) non-compliance with contractual terms relating to oil platform construction; (iv) compensation relating to an easement over a property; (v) collection of production taxes over natural gas production; (vi) penalties applied by ANP relating to measurement systems and (vii) claim for compensation. |

(*) | For the first half of 2017, additions to provision and accruals and charges amounted to US$ 183 and US$ 183, respectively. |
In preparing its unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018, the Company considered all available information concerning legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant, in order to estimate the amounts of obligations and probability that outflows of resources will be required.
The main additions to the provision for legal proceedings in first half of 2018 were primarily attributable to unfavorable court rulings that changed the probabilities of outflows of resources relating to certain claims to probable, as well as changes in the assessment of civil claim for compensation. These additions were partially offset by reversal of provisions relating to the class action requiring a review of the RMNR following a favorable decision of the Brazilian Supreme Court, as set out in note 28.3.1. Indexation charges over the balance of provision also increased the balance of the provision at June 30, 2018, and the use of funds for amounts previously provisioned mainly relates to withholding income tax disbursed on the first installment of the class action settlement as shown in note 28.4.1.

In the first half of 2018, the Company made judicial deposits in the amount of US$ 1,080 mainly resulting from an unfavorable decision issued by the Regional Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro (Tribunal Regional Federal TRT/RJ) in October 2017, with respect to withholding income tax on remittances for payments of vessel charters occurred from 1999 to 2002, as well as judicial deposits related to tax claim alleging taxable income from foreign subsidiaries and associates located outside Brazil, as set out in note 28.3.
28.3. | Contingent liabilities |
Contingent liabilities for which either the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of the expected financial effect that might result from resolution of the proceeding, or a cash outflow is not probable, are not recognized as liabilities in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the likelihood of any outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is considered remote.
The estimates of contingent liabilities for legal proceedings are indexed to inflation and updated by applicable interests. As of June 30, 2018, estimated contingent liabilities for which the possibility of loss is not considered remote are set out in the following table:

Current status: The legal argument about the incidence of withholding income tax (Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte- IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters, occurred from 1999 to 2002, involves the legality of the normative rule issued by the Federal Revenue of Brazil, which ensured no taxation over those remittances. The Company considers the likelihood of loss as possible, since there are decisions from Superior Courts favorable to the understanding of the Company, and will continue to defend its opinion. The other claims, concerning CIDE and PIS/COFINS, involve lawsuits in different administrative and judicial stages, for which the Company understand there is a possible likelihood of loss, since there are legal predictions in line with the understanding of the Company. |

In 2017, after assessing the fundamentals of this court ruling, the Company considered as probable the likelihood of outflow of resources with respect to the portion of the deduction that exceeds the 20% limit, and as remote the portion within the 20% limit. The other claims of this item, which have different legal basis, remain with their likelihood of loss as possible and are in different administrative and judicial stages. |

||||||||
Current status: This list involves claims that are disputed in court and in arbitration proceedings, as follows: a) Lula and Cernanbi: the Company has made judicial deposits for the alleged differences resulting from the special participation. However, with the reversal of the favorable injunction, the arbitration is stayed and currently the payment of these alleged differences have been made directly to ANP, until a final judicial decision is handed down. b) Baúna and Piracicaba: the Court reassessed previous decision that disallowed judicial deposits, therefore the Company is currently depositing the controversial amounts. The arbitration is stayed. c) Tartaruga Verde and Mestiça: The Company has authorization to make the judicial deposits relating to these fields. The Regional Federal Court of the Second Region has the opinion that the Chamber of Arbitration has jurisdiction on this claim and the arbitration is ongoing. d) Parque das Baleias complex: the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) ruled that is the Chamber of Arbitration which has the responsibility to determine if the claim should be arbitrated or not. The Judiciary stated decisions allowing the continuation of the arbitration. Therefore, the Chamber of Arbitration disallowed ANP to charge for special participation, establishing that Petrobras should provide collateral on the debt to be negotiated with ANP. |

Petrobras appealed from the part of the court decision with respect to which Petrobras preliminary defense was denied. On January 19, 2018, oral argument on the appeal was held before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On July 3, 2018, a panel of the Court of Appeals rendered a decision, by a majority, rejecting Petrobras appeal. This ruling did not discuss the merits of EIGs allegations and examined only whether the US had jurisdiction over the case.

Petrobras will challenge the arbitral award, arguing that it has been denied the fundamental safeguards of impartiality and due process, as expressed by the dissenting arbitrator. Therefore, the Company understands that the likelihood of loss remains possible, thus no provision was recognized for the moment. |

28.4. | Class action and related proceedings |
28.4.1. | Class action and related proceedings in the USA |
Between December 8, 2014 and January 7, 2015, five putative securities class action complaints were filed against the Company, Petrobras International Finance Company S.A. (PifCo), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF, and collectively with the Company and PifCo, the Petrobras Defendants), certain underwriters of debt securities (the Underwriter Defendants), among other defendants (the Defendants), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY or the District Court). These actions were consolidated on February 17, 2015 (the Consolidated Securities Class Action or Class Action). The Court appointed a lead plaintiff, Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited (USS), on March 4, 2015.
In sum and substance, the complaints in the Consolidated Securities Class Action asserted claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), alleging that in the Companys press releases, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and other communications, the Company made materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the value of its assets, the amounts of the Companys expenses and net income, the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over financial reporting, and the Companys anti-corruption policies, due to the alleged corruption purportedly committed in connection with certain contracts, which allegedly artificially inflated the market value of the Companys securities.
In addition to the Consolidated Securities Class Action, 33 lawsuits were filed by individual investors before the same judge in the SDNY, and one was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (collectively, the Individual Actions), consisting of allegations similar to those in the Consolidated Securities Class Action.
Between August 2015 and December 2015, the Company and certain other defendants made motions to dismiss the complaints and amended complaints in the Consolidated Securities Class Action and certain of the Individual Actions. Certain, but not all, of the claims were definitively dismissed and others were dismissed but with leave to re-plead. Thus, the actions continued against the Company and other defendants with respect to certain claims. Following the motion to dismiss stage, the complaint that was then considered operative for the subsequent proceedings in the Class Action was the fourth consolidated amended complaint (FAC) filed on November 30, 2015 by plaintiff USS, Employees Retirement System of the State of Hawaii (Hawaii), North Carolina Department of State Treasurer (North Carolina) (collectively, Class Plaintiffs), and one other plaintiff whose claims were later dismissed.
The judge scheduled a consolidated trial for the Class Action and the Individual Actions to begin on September 19, 2016, except that the judge ordered that any Individual Actions filed in the SDNY after December 31, 2015 would be stayed in all respects until after the completion of the trial. Six of the Individual Actions have been stayed as a result of this order.
62
On February 2, 2016, the judge granted Class Plaintiffs motion for class certification, certifying a class under the Securities Act represented by Hawaii and North Carolina (the Securities Act Class) and a class under the Exchange Act represented by USS (the Exchange Act Class). The Securities Act Class was defined, in relevant part, as all purchasers who purchased or otherwise acquired debt securities issued by Petrobras, PifCo, and/or PGF, in domestic transactions, directly in, pursuant and/or traceable to public offerings on May 15, 2013 and March 11, 2014, and were damaged thereby. The Exchange Act Class was defined, in relevant part, as all purchasers who, between January 22, 2010 and July 28, 2015, purchased or otherwise acquired Petrobras securities, including debt securities issued by PifCo and/or PGF on the New York Stock Exchange or pursuant to other domestic transactions, and were damaged thereby.
On June 15, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Second Circuit) granted the Petrobras Defendants (and other defendants) motion requesting interlocutory appellate review of the District Courts class certification of the Class Action. The Petrobras Defendants (and other defendants) moved in District Court for a stay of all District Court proceedings, which the district judge denied on June 24, 2016 and, on June 27, 2016, the parties filed motions for summary judgment. The Petrobras Defendants (and other defendants)then moved in the Second Circuit for a stay of all District Court proceedings. On August 2, 2016, the Second Circuit granted the motion to stay all District Court proceedings during the pendency of the appeal.
Between on or about October 21, 2016 and September 13, 2017, Petrobras board of directors approved agreements to settle 21 of the Individual Actions (the Settled Individual Actions), leaving 13 remaining pending Individual Actions (six of which had been stayed since filed) (the Pending Individual Actions). The terms of the settlements for the Settled Individual Actions are confidential and Petrobras denies all allegations of wrongdoing. The settlements are aimed at eliminating the uncertainties, burdens and expense of ongoing litigation.
Based on the settlements reached in the Settled Individual Actions and advanced stages of negotiations in certain other Pending Individual Actions, the Company charged US$ 448 to the statement of income as other income and expenses (US$ 76 in 2017 and US$ 372 in 2016).
On July 7, 2017, the Second Circuit vacated, in part, the class certification decision in the Class Action and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings.
The Second Circuit partially granted the appeal by the Petrobras Defendants (and other defendants), reversing some aspects of the District Courts ruling and affirming others. Among other issues, the Second Circuit ruled that the district judge failed to consider whether the question of whether the transactions occurred in the United States could be determined through a common set of evidence, and whether, if not, common issues would predominate over individual ones. The effect of the Second Circuits decision was to vacate the classes certified by the District Court pending additional proceedings in the District Court on remand.
On July 21, 2017, the Petrobras Defendants (and other defendants) filed a request for panel rehearing or en banc rehearing with the Second Circuit regarding portions of the Second Circuits decision affirming the District Courts order, which was denied on August 24, 2017.
On November 1, 2017, the Petrobras Defendants (and other defendants) filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court appealing the Second Circuits decision. On November 3, 2017, the Second Circuit granted the Companys unopposed motion to stay the mandate, which was filed by Petrobras on August 30, 2017.
At the end of December 2017, the Company signed an agreement in principle to settle the Consolidated Securities Class Action, which was subject to court approval (the Class Action Settlement).
The Class Action Settlement was intended to resolve all pending and prospective claims by purchasers of Petrobras securities in the United States and by purchasers of Petrobras securities that are listed for trading or that clear or settle through the Depository Trust Company in the United States. Under the Class Action Agreement, the parties agreed to the certification, for settlement purposes only, of a new class defined as all persons who (i) during the time Period between January 22, 2010 and July 28, 2015, inclusive (the Class Period), purchased or otherwise acquired Petrobras Securities, including debt securities issued by PifCo and/or PGF, on the New York Stock Exchange or pursuant to other Covered Transactions; and/or (ii) purchased or otherwise acquired debt securities issued by Petrobras, PifCo, and/or PGF, in Covered Transactions, directly in, pursuant and/or traceable to a May 13, 2013 public offering registered in the United States and/or a March 10, 2014 public offering registered in the United States before Petrobras made available to its security holders an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the effective date of the offerings (i.e. before August 11, 2014 in the case of the May 13, 2013 public offering and before May 15, 2015 in the case of the March 10, 2014 public offering).
63
Covered Transactions is defined to mean (i) any transaction in a Petrobras Security listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE); (ii) any transaction in a Petrobras Security that cleared or settled through the Depository Trust Companys book-entry system; or (iii) any transaction in a Petrobras Security that otherwise qualifies as domestic under the Supreme Courts decision in Morrison v. National Australia Bank, 561 U.S. 247 (2010). Excluded from the definition of Covered Transaction are purchases of any Petrobras Security on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3).
The Class Action Settlement eliminates the risk of an adverse judgment which, as Petrobras has previously reported, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial situation, and puts an end to the uncertainties, burdens and costs of protracted litigation.
Under the Class Action Settlement, Petrobras (together with its subsidiary PGF) has agreed to pay US$ 2,950 to resolve claims in two installments of US$ 983 and a further installment of US$ 984. Accordingly, the Company charged US$ 3,449 to its statement of income for the last quarter of 2017 as other income and expenses, taking into account the gross up of tax related to the Petrobrass portion of the settlement. On March 1, 2018, Petrobras and PGF disbursed the first installment into an escrow account designated by the lead plaintiff and accounted for it as other current assets. The second installment was deposited on July 2, 2018, 10 days after the final approval of the Class Action Settlement. Foreign exchange losses on the provision amounted to US$ 441 at June 30, 2018 and were accounted for as other income and expenses. The third installment will be paid by January 15, 2019.
On January 16, 2018, United States Supreme Court granted a joint motion to defer consideration of Petrobras petition for a writ of certiorari, pending final approval of the Class Action Settlement.
The Class Action Settlement was submitted to the District Court for preliminary approval. On February 23, 2018, the District Court held a hearing on preliminary approval of the settlement, and subsequently granted preliminary approval on February 28, 2018. Notice was provided to potential class members who had the opportunity to opt out or not of the settlement and raise any objections to the District Court.
After the notice and objection period, the District Court conducted a hearing on June 4, 2018 to determine whether to grant final approval of the Class Action Settlement and a decision was rendered on June 22, 2018, which granted final approval of the agreement and rejected the challenges raised by the objectors. Certain objectors have appealed the District Courts final approval decision. In the event that a higher court annuls the agreement, or if the agreement does not become final for other reasons, the Company will return to its position prior to the Class Action Settlement and, depending on the outcome of the subsequent litigation, the Company might be required to pay substantial amounts, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, its consolidated results of operations or its consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
Individuals are seeking measures against Petrobras in Brazil to annul and/or suspend the Class Action Settlement. No adverse action has been taken to date against the settlement.
With respect to the thirteen outstanding Individual Actions, only two plaintiffs exercised the option of being excluded from the Collective Action Agreement. The actions of the two plaintiffs who chose not to join the Class Action will continue.
The remaining Pending Individual Actions involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties and depend on a number of factors such as the novelty of the legal theories, the information produced in discovery, the timing of court decisions, rulings by the court on key issues, and analysis by retained experts. Except as set forth above, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of eventual loss, if any, arising from Pending Individual Actions that did opt out of the Class Action Agreement.
The Company intends to defend these actions vigorously.
28.4.2. | Class action in the Netherlands |
On January 23, 2017, the Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation (Foundation) filed a class action before the district court in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, against Petrobras and its subsidiaries Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIBBV) and Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF); joint venture Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G), and some former managers of Petrobras.
This Foundation allegedly represents an unidentified group of investors and demands judicial remedies for alleged damages caused to investors who purchased securities issued by Petrobras and PGF outside the United States, before July 28, 2015, due to alleged illegal acts. The Foundation also alleges financial losses are connected to the facts uncovered by the Lava-Jato investigation and to purported false and misleading financial information released by the Company.

Petrobras, PGF, PIBBV and PO&G filed their first response to the claim on May 3, 2017 (first docket date), presenting the law firms that will defend these companies and requesting a hearing to discuss some aspects of the case.
On August 23, 2017, a hearing was held at the District Court in Rotterdam to establish the timeframe for proceedings. Petrobras (and other defendants) presented preliminary defenses on November 29, 2017 and the Foundation presented its response on March 28, 2018. On June 28, 2018, a hearing was held for the parties to present oral arguments. The Court informed that will issue judgmentwhich can either be an interim or a final judgmenton these preliminary issues on September 19, 2018. If the case is not dismissed or stayed by that judgment, the parties and the court will discuss the further course of the proceedings on the basis of a skeleton of Petrobras defense by the end of 2018.
This class action involves complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties and depend on a number of factors such as the legitimacy of the Foundation as the plaintiffs attorney, the applicable rules to this complaint, the information produced in discovery, analysis by experts, the timing of court decisions and rulings by the court on key issues. Currently, it is not possible to determine if the Company will be responsible for the payment of compensation as a result of this action as this assessment depends on the outcome of these complex issues. Moreover, it is uncertain which investors are able to file complaints related to this matter against the Company.
In addition, the claims asserted are broad, span a multi-year period and involve a wide range of activities, and, at the current stage, the impacts of such claims are highly uncertain. The uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of the ultimate resolution of these actions. As a result, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of eventual loss arising from this action. The Company is victim of the corruption scheme uncovered by the Lava-Jato investigation and aims to present and prove this condition before the Netherlands Authorities.
The uncertainties inherent in all such matters do not enable the Company to identify possible risks related to this action. Compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court rulings on complaints to be filed by individual investors, unless agreements to settle Opt-out Claims occur. The Foundation is not able to demand compensation for damages.
Petrobras and its subsidiaries deny the allegations presented by the Foundation and intend to defend themselves vigorously.
28.4.3. | Other Related Investor Claims |
Petrobras is also currently a party to arbitration and judicial proceedings in Brazil, all of which are currently in their initial stages. In each case, the proceedings were brought by investors that purchased Petrobras shares traded in Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3), alleging damages caused by facts uncovered in the Lava Jato Operation.
29. | Collateral for crude oil exploration concession agreements |
The Company has granted collateral to the Brazilian Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e BiocombustíveisANP) in connection with the performance of the Minimum Exploration Programs established in the concession agreements for petroleum exploration areas in the total amount of US$ 1,938 of which US$ 835 were still in force as of June 30, 2018, net of commitments undertaken. The collateral comprises crude oil from previously identified producing fields, pledged as collateral, amounting to US$ 702 and bank guarantees of US$ 133.
30. | Risk management |
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising from its operations, including price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices), foreign exchange rates risk, interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Corporate risk management is part of the Companys commitment to act ethically and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the countries where it operates. To manage market and financial risks the Company prefers structuring measures through adequate capital and leverage management. The Company takes account of risks in its business decisions and manages any such risk in an integrated manner in order to enjoy the benefits of diversification.

Reasonably possible and remote scenarios consider 25% and 50% deterioration in the associated risk variables, respectively. |
30.1. | Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices |
Petrobras does not regularly use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to commodity price cycles related to products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs. However, derivatives may be used in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the Business and Management targets are being met.
Accordingly, Petrobras executed a hedge strategy for part of its oil production foreseen for 2018. The transaction was carried out during February and March, in a volume equivalent to 128 million barrels of oil. Over-the-Counter Put Options (OTC Put Options) were purchased with an average cost of US$ 3.48 per barrel and an average strike price of US $ 65 / barrel . These options will expire at the end of 2018.
This transaction aims to hedge a portion of the cash flow from operating activities for 2018, guaranteeing a minimum price level for the volume under this transaction without limiting the sales price if the average Brent price in the year exceeds the reference value, thereby protecting the Company in case of oil prices downturn while enabling to take advantage of higher prices. The goal is to reduce negative impacts on the Companys cash generation in the most adverse price scenarios, increasing the confidence on the strategy of reducing its leverage.
On June 30, 2018, the Company accounted for a US$ 402 loss as other income and expenses within corporate business segments, US$ 152 and US$ 250 in the first and second quarters, respectively, due to a decrease in the fair value of these put options driven by the increase in the commodity price in the international market.
30.2. | Foreign exchange risk management |
The Companys Risk Management Policy provides for, as an assumption, an integrated risk management extensive to the whole corporation, pursuing the benefit from the diversification of its businesses.
By managing its foreign exchange risk, the Company takes into account the group of cash flows derived from its operations. This concept is especially applicable to the risk relating to the exposure of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, in which future cash flows in U.S. dollar, as well as cash flows in Brazilian Real affected by the fluctuation between both currencies, such as cash flows derived from diesel and gasoline sales in the domestic market, are assessed in an integrated manner.
Accordingly, the financial risk management mainly involves structured actions encompassing the business of the Company.
Changes in the Real/U.S. dollar spot rate, as well as foreign exchange variation of the Real against other foreign currencies, may affect net income and the statement of financial position due to the exposures in foreign currencies, such as:
| High probable future transactions; |
| Monetary items; and |
| Firm commitments. |
The Company seeks to mitigate the effect of potential variations in the Real/U.S. dollar spot rates mainly raising funds denominated in US dollars, aiming at reducing the net exposure between obligations and receipts in this currency, representing a form of structural protection that takes into account criteria of liquidity and cost competitiveness.
67
Foreign exchange variation on future exports denominated in U.S. Dollar in a given period are efficiently hedged by the US dollar debt portfolio taking into account changes in such portfolio over time.
The foreign exchange risk management strategy may involve the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain liabilities, mitigating foreign exchange rate risk exposure, especially when the Company is exposed to a foreign currency in which no cash inflows are expected, for example, Pound Sterling.
In the short-term, the foreign exchange risk is managed by applying resources in cash or cash equivalent denominated in Brazilian Real, U.S. Dollar or in another currency.
a) | Cash Flow Hedge involving the Companys future exports |
Considering the natural hedge and the risk management strategy, the Company designates hedging relationships to account for the effects of the existing hedge between a foreign exchange gain or loss from proportions of its long-term debt obligations (denominated in U.S. dollars) and foreign exchange gain or loss of its highly probable U.S. dollar denominated future export revenues, so that gains or losses associated with the hedged transaction (the highly probable future exports) and the hedging instrument (debt obligations) are recognized in the statement of income in the same periods.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on proportions of cash flows from debt obligations (non-derivative financial instruments), as well as foreign exchange rate forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) have been designated as hedging instruments. Derivative financial instruments expired during the year were replaced by debts in the hedging relationships for which they had been designated.
Individual hedging relationships were designated in a one-to-one proportion, meaning that the highly probable future exports for each month and the proportions of cash flows from debt obligations, hedged in individual hedging relationship, an equal in US dollar in nominal amount. Only a portion of the Companys forecast exports are considered highly probable.
The Companys future exports are exposed to the risk of variation in the Brazilian Real/U.S. dollar spot rate, which is offset by the converse exposure to the same type of risk with respect to its debt denominated in US dollar.
The hedge relationships are assessed on a monthly basis and they may cease and may be re-designated in order reach the risk management strategy.
Whenever a portion of future exports for a certain period, for which their foreign exchange gains and losses hedging relationship has been designated is no longer highly probable, the Company revokes the designation and the cumulative foreign exchange gains or losses that have been recognized in other comprehensive income remain separately in equity until the forecast exports occur.
If future exports, for foreign exchange gains and losses hedging relationship has been designated is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative foreign exchange gains or losses that have been recognized in other comprehensive income from the date the hedging relationship was designated to the date the Company revoked the designation is immediately recycled from equity to the statement of income.
In addition, when a financial instrument designated as a hedging instrument expires or settled, the Company may replace it with another financial instrument in a manner in which the hedge relationship continues to occur. Likewise, whenever a hedged transaction effectively occurs, its financial instrument previously designated as a hedging instrument may be designate for a new hedge relationship.
Ineffectiveness may occur as hedged items and hedge instruments have different maturity dates and due to discount rate used to determine their present value. Accordingly, the Company recognized a US$ 61 gain as foreign exchange gains (losses) due to ineffectiveness.
68
The carrying amounts, the fair value as of June 30, 2018, and a schedule of expected reclassifications to the statement of income of cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders equity) based on a US$ 1.00 / R$ 3.8558 exchange rate are set out below:

Additional hedging relationships may be revoked or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the statement of income may occur as a result of changes in forecast export prices and export volumes following a review of the Companys business plan. Based on a sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in our BMP-2018-2022, would not indicate a reclassification adjustment from equity to the statement of income.
A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of June 30, 2018 is set out below:

b) | Cross currency swap Pounds Sterling x Dollar |
In the first half of 2017, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Petrobras Global Trading B.V. (PGT), entered into cross currency swaps maturing in 2026 and 2034, with notional amounts of £ 700 million and £ 600 million, respectively, in order to hedge its Pounds/U.S. Dollar exposure arising from bonds issued amounting to £ 1,300. The Company does not expect to settle these swaps before their expiration dates.
c) | Non Deliverable Forward (NDF) Euro x Dollar |
In the second quarter of 2018 the Company, also through PGT, entered into non deliverable forwards with notional amount of Euro 2,700 million and maturing in 2019, in other to reduce its euro x dollar exposure raised by bonds issued. The Company does not intend to settle such derivatives before their expiration dates.
d) | Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments |
A sensitivity analysis is set out below, showing the probable scenario for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments, computed based on external data along with stressed scenarios (a 25% and a 50% change in the foreign exchange rates), except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

(**) | It includes the Class Action provision as set out note 28.4. |
30.3. | Interest rate risk management |
The Company considers that interest rate risk does not create a significant exposure and therefore, preferably does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, except for specific situations encountered by certain subsidiaries of Petrobras.
70
30.4. | Credit risk |
Credit risk management in Petrobras aims to mitigate risk of not collecting receivables, financial deposits or collateral from third parties or financial institutions through efficient credit analysis, granting and management based on quantitative and qualitative parameters that are appropriate for each market segment in which the Company operates.
The commercial credit portfolio is broad and diversified and comprises clients from the domestic and foreign markets. Credit granted to financial institutions is related to collaterals received, cash surplus invested and derivative financial instruments. It is spread among investment grade international banks rated by international rating agencies and Brazilian banks with low credit risk.
30.5. | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is represented by the possibility of a shortage of cash or other financial assets in order to settle the Companys obligations on the agreed dates and is managed by the Company based on policies such as: centralization of cash management, optimization of the level of cash and cash equivalents held and reduction of working capital; maintenance of an adequate cash balance to ensure that cash needed for investments and short-term obligations is met even in adverse market conditions; increase in the average debt maturity, increase in funding sources from domestic and international markets, and developing a strong presence in the capital markets and also searching for new funding sources (such as new markets and financial products), as well as funds under the partnership and divestment program.
Company regularly evaluates market conditions, and may enter into transactions to repurchase its own securities or those of its affiliates, through a variety of means, including tender offers, make whole exercises and open market repurchases.
A maturity schedule of the Companys finance debt (undiscounted), including face value and interest payments is set out as follows:

Fair values are determined based on market prices, when available, or, in the absence thereof, on the present value of expected future cash flows.
The hierarchy of the fair values of the financial assets and liabilities, recorded on a recurring basis, is set out below:
Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
