Quarterly Information (ITR) at

September 30, 2012

and Report on the Review

of the Quarterly Information

Report on Review of Quarterly Information

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Braskem S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim accounting information of Braskem S.A., included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, comprising the balance sheet as at that date and the statements of operations and comprehensive income for the quarter and nine-month periods then ended, and the statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the parent company interim accounting information in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and of the consolidated interim accounting information in accordance with CPC 21 and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of this information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the parent

company interim information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company interim accounting information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

Conclusion on the consolidated

interim information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim accounting information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

Other matters

Statements of value added

We have also reviewed the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. These statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management, and are required to be presented in accordance with standards issued by the CVM applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and are considered supplementary information under IFRS, which do not require the presentation of the statement of value added. These statements have been submitted to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

1. Operations

Braskem S.A. (hereinafter “Parent Company”) is a public corporation headquartered in Camaçari, Bahia, which jointly with its subsidiaries (hereinafter “Braskem” or “Company”), operates 36 industrial units, 29 in Brazil and 7 abroad (5 in the United States and 2 in Germany).

The Company is controlled by Odebrecht S.A. (“Odebrecht”), which indirectly holds interests of 50.11% and 38.11% in its voting and total capital, respectively.

(a) Material operating events

(a.1) In December 2011, Sunoco Chemicals, Inc. (“Sunoco”) announced the definitive shutdown of operations at its refinery that was responsible for supplying propylene, the main feedstock to one of the five polypropylene (“PP”) plants of the subsidiary Braskem America Inc (“Braskem America) in the United States.

In 2012, Sunoco formally informed the Management of Braskem America of its alternative plan to supply feedstock, as required under the supply agreement entered into in 2010. The definitive termination of the supply agreement occurred on June 8, 2012, upon payment of the respective compensation set forth in the contract, in the amount of R$235,962 (Note 30).

Despite the termination of the supply agreement, the Management of Braskem America pursued alternative supply and logistics solutions in order to continue operations at the unit and has already identified other sources to supply the feedstock required.

Another important and fundamental step in maintaining the operations at the plant was the acquisition of a propylene splitter unit from Sunoco on June 29, 2012. This unit transforms refinery-grade propylene into polymer-grade propylene. This acquisition does not represent a business combination, since it does not meet the definitions required by IFRS 3 and its corresponding CPC 15 (R1).

With the acquisition, Braskem America expanded its supply sources, since the supply of refinery-grade propylene is more abundant in the U.S. market.

(a.2) On August 17, 2012, the Company inaugurated, in Marechal Deodoro, Alagoas, a new plant with annual production capacity of 200 kton of polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”). With the plant’s inauguration, Braskem’s annual PVC production capacity increased to 710 kton. Total investment in the plant was approximately R$1 billion.

(a.3) On September 13, 2012, the Company inaugurated, in the Triunfo Petrochemical Complex in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, a new plant with annual production capacity of 103 kton of butadiene. The new plant is already operating at full production capacity. Total investment was approximately R$300 million.

(b) Corporate events

(b.1) On January 27, 2012, the controlling shareholder of Braskem, BRK Investimentos Petroquímicos S.A. (“BRK”) was proportionally spun-off. In the spin–off, a part of the shares issued by Braskem that were held by BRK was delivered to Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras (“Petrobras”). With the spin-off, BRK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Odebrecht Serviços e Participações (“OSP”) and maintained ownership of shares corresponding to 50.11% and 28.23% of the voting and total capital of Braskem, respectively. On the same date, the merger of Petrobras Química S.A. – Petroquisa (“Petroquisa”) into Petrobras was approved and Petrobras became the holder of 47.03% and 35.95% of the voting and total capital of Braskem, respectively.

(b.2) On February 27, 2012, the company Braskem International GmbH (“Braskem Áustria”) was incorporated with the purpose of holding equity interests in other companies, in addition to performing financial and commercial operations. The capital stock was fully paid up by the Parent Company, a sole partner, in the amount of R$81 (EUR 35 thousand) (Note 14(b)).

(b.3) On February 28, 2012, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Parent Company approved the merger of the subsidiary Ideom Tecnologia Ltda., based on its net book value as of December 31, 2011, in the amount of R$20,762, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the protocol and justification dated February 6, 2012.

(b.4) On April 30, 2012, the capital stock of the subsidiaries Braskem Petroquímica S.A. (“Braskem Petroquímica”) and Rio Polímeros S.A. (“Riopol”) was increased in the amounts of R$649,639 and R$738,799, respectively (Note 14(b)), without the issue of new shares, as approved at the respective shareholders’ meetings. The increases occurred through utilization of the balances recorded under advance for future capital increase.

(b.5) On June 27, 2012, Braskem Áustria incorporated Braskem Petroquímica Ibérica, S.L. (“Braskem Espanha”), which has capital of EUR 3 thousand. The purpose of this subsidiary is to hold equity interests in other companies.

(b.6) On June 30, 2012, BRK was merged into its parent company OSP, which now holds 50.11% and 38.11% of the voting and total capital of the Parent Company, respectively.

(b.7) On August 27, 2012, Braskem Áustria incorporated Braskem Áustria Finance GmbH (“Braskem Áustria Finance”), which has capital of EUR 35 thousand. The subsidiary’s purpose is to raise funds in international financial markets.

(c) Net working capital

On September 30, 2012, net working capital at the Parent Company and Consolidated were negative R$1,847,334 and R$258,933, respectively. The consolidated figures are used in the management of working capital, since the Company uses mechanisms to transfer funds between the companies efficiently without jeopardizing the fulfillment of the commitments of each of the entities forming the consolidated statements. For this reasons, any analysis of the Parent Company’s working capital will not reflect the actual liquidity position of the consolidated group. Although the consolidated net working capital is negative, the Company does not have any issue regarding liquidity, since this condition is only temporary. Braskem is lending funds to its subsidiary Braskem Idesa, in connection with the investments in property, plant and equipment made by this subsidiary in the Ethylene XXI Project (Note 15), which will be reimbursed upon the inflow of funds from the Project Finance, which is in final phase of structuring. As of September 30, 2012, the amount sent by the Parent Company was R$400,273 (US$197 million) and was related to its 65% interest in the project. The Idesa Group, the non-controlling shareholder of Braskem Idesa, has also provided funds for the project corresponding to the 35% interest it holds in the subsidiary, with the amount of R$215,066 (US$105 million) recorded in “other accounts payable” under current liabilities in the consolidated financial statements (Note 24(a)).

The Company also has two revolving credit lines that may be used at any time and which allow for a reduction in the cash balance maintained by Braskem (Note 3.3).

(d) Effect of foreign exchange variation

The Company has balances and transactions in U.S. dollar, as well as financial investments, trade accounts receivable, trade payables, borrowings and sales. The balances of assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rate at the end of each period, while transactions are based on the effective exchange rate on the date each operation occurs. These rates are informed by the Central Bank of Brazil.

The following table shows the U.S. dollar average and end-of-period exchange rates for the periods in this report:

U.S. dollar, end of period
September 2012	R$ 2.0306
December 2011	R$ 1.8758
Appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Brazilian real	8.25%

Average U.S. dollar rate
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2012	R$ 1.9213
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2011	R$ 1.6331
Appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Brazilian real	17.65%

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1. Basis of preparation

This quarterly information should be read together with the financial statements of Braskem S.A. as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended, which were prepared and presented in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The preparation of the quarterly information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management of the Company to exercise its judgment in the process of applying its accounting policies. There were no changes in the assumptions and judgments made by the Company’s management in the use of estimates for the preparation of the quarterly information in relation to those used in the December 31, 2011 financial statements.

(a) Consolidated quarterly information

The consolidated quarterly information was prepared and is being presented in accordance with the pronouncements CPC 21 and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, which establish the minimum content for interim financial statements.

(b) Parent company quarterly information

The parent company quarterly information was prepared and is being presented in accordance with pronouncement CPC 21.

2.2. Significant accounting policies

There were no changes in the accounting practices used in the preparation of the quarterly information in relation to those presented in the December 31, 2011 financial statements, except for the method of recognition of jointly controlled investments (Note 2.3). The accounting practice adopted complies with the alternative provided for by IAS 31and its corresponding CPC 19 (R1), which determine that such investments may initially be valued at their acquisition cost and subsequently using the equity method.

Due to the accounting of jointly controlled companies using the equity method as of 2012, the balance of cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flow at the start of the period (January 1, 2012) was reduced by R$34,547, which corresponds to the balances at Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense (“RPR”), Polipropileno Del Sul S.A. (“Propilsur”) and Polietilenos de America S.A. (“Polimerica”) on that date.

2.3. Consolidated quarterly information

On September 30, 2012, investments in jointly controlled companies of the Company are calculated using the equity method and no longer based on proportionate consolidation (Note 2.2). The consolidated information for prior periods will not be restated given the immateriality of the balances of these jointly controlled companies to the Company's financial statements.

3. Risk management

Braskem is exposed to (i) market risks arising from variations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates; (ii) the credit risks of its counterparties in cash equivalents, financial investments and trade accounts receivable; and (iii) liquidity risks to meet its obligations related to financial liabilities.

Braskem adopts procedures for managing market, credit and liquidity risks that are in conformity with the financial policy approved by the Board of Directors on August 9, 2010. The purpose of risk management is to protect the cash flows of Braskem and reduce the threats to the financing of its operating working capital and investment programs.

3.1. Market risk

Braskem prepares a sensitivity analysis for the main types of market risk to which it is exposed, which is presented in Note 18.4.

(a) Exposure to commodity risks

Braskem is exposed to the variation in the prices of certain commodities and, in general, seeks to transfer the variations caused by fluctuations in market prices. On the other hand, during the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company entered into derivative operations to hedge against the exposure to risks arising from isolated transactions involving the commodities naphtha and ethanol (Note 18.2.1). Additionally, an immaterial part of sales is performed based on fixed-price contracts or contracts with a maximum and/or minimum fluctuation range. These contracts can be commercial agreements or derivative contracts associated with future sales.

Braskem S.A.

Notes to the financial statements

at September 30, 2012

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

(b) Exposure to foreign exchange risk

Braskem has commercial operations denominated in or pegged to foreign currencies. Braskem’s inputs and products have prices denominated in or strongly influenced by international prices of commodities, which are usually denominated in U.S. dollar. Additionally, Braskem has long-term loans in foreign currencies that expose it to variations in the foreign exchange rate between the Brazilian real and the foreign currency, in particular the U.S. dollar. Braskem manages its exposure to foreign exchange risk through the combination of debt, financial investments and accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies and through derivative operations. Braskem’s financial policy for managing foreign exchange risks provides for the maximum and minimum coverage limits that must be observed and which are continuously monitored by its Management.

On September 30, 2012, Braskem prepared a sensitivity analysis for its exposure to U.S. dollar risk, as informed in Note 18.4(c).

(c) Exposure to interest rate risk

Braskem is exposed to the risk that a variation in floating interest rates causes an increase in its financial expense due to payments of future interest. Debt denominated in foreign currency subject to floating rates is mainly subject to fluctuations in Libor. Debt denominated in local currency is mainly subject to the variation in the Long-Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), to fixed rates in Brazilian real and to the variation in the Interbank Certificate of Deposit (“daily CDI”) rate.

In the period ended September 30, 2012, Braskem held swap contracts designated as hedge accounting that: (i) exposure of principal in pre-contractual rate and hedge in CDI overnight rate; and (ii) exposure of principal in LIBOR and hedge in fixed rate (Note 18.2).

On September 30, 2012, Braskem prepared a sensitivity analysis for the exposure to the floating interest rates Libor, CDI and TJLP, as informed in Notes 18.4(d), 18.4(e), 18.4(f), respectively.

3.2. Exposure to credit risk

The transactions that subject Braskem to the concentration of credit risks are mainly in current accounts with banks, financial investments and trade accounts receivable in which Braskem is exposed to the risk of the financial institution or customer involved. In order to manage this risk, Braskem maintains bank current accounts and financial investments with major financial institutions, weighting concentrations in accordance with the credit rating and the daily prices observed in the Credit Default Swap market for the institutions, as well as netting contracts that minimize the total credit risk arising from the many financial transactions entered into by the parties.

On September 30, 2012, Braskem held netting contracts with Banco Citibank S.A. HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo, Banco Itaú BBA S.A. Banco Safra S.A. Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. Banco Votorantim S.A. Banco West LB do Brasil S.A. Banco Caixa Geral – Brasil S.A. and Banco Bradesco S.A., which seek to mitigate credit and liquidity risks in the event of the insolvency of the parties involved. Approximately 33% of the amounts held in cash and cash equivalents (Note 5) and financial investments (Note 6) are contemplated by these agreements, whose related liabilities are accounted for under “borrowings” (Note 17).

With respect to the credit risk of customers, Braskem protects itself by performing a rigorous analysis before granting credit and obtaining secured and unsecured guarantees when considered necessary.

Braskem S.A.

Notes to the financial statements

at September 30, 2012

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

The maximum exposure to credit risk of non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date is the sum of their carrying amounts less any provisions for impairment losses. On September 30, 2012, the balance of trade accounts receivable was net of allowance for doubtful accounts of R$289,440 (R$253,607 on December 31, 2011).

3.3. Liquidity risk and capital management

Braskem has a calculation methodology to determine operating cash and minimum cash for the purpose of, respectively: (i) ensuring the liquidity needed to comply with short-term obligations, calculated based on the operating disbursements projected for the following month; and (ii) ensuring that the Company maintains liquidity during potential crises, calculated based on the projected operating cash generation, less short-term debts, working capital needs and other items.

In the period ended September 30, 2012, some of Braskem’s borrowing agreements had financial covenants that linked net debt and the payment of interest to its consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) (Note 17 (h)). The Company’s Management monitored these indicators on a quarterly basis in U.S. dollar, as established in the borrowing agreements. These agreements were settled in the third quarter of 2012 and the Company no longer holds commitments of this nature.

Additionally, Braskem has two revolving credit lines amounting to: (i) US$350 million, which may be used without restriction for a period of three years as from September 2010; and (ii) US$250 million, which may be used without restriction for a period of five years as from August 2011. On September 30, 2012, Braskem had not drawn any credit from these lines.

4. Business combination

PP assets abroad – Dow Chemical

On September 30, 2011, Braskem, through its subsidiaries Braskem America and Braskem Alemanha, acquired the PP business of Dow Chemical for R$607.6 million (US$323 million). On the same date, the amount of R$312,263 (US$166 million) was paid, which corresponds to the portion of accounts payables that were assumed in the transaction.

The agreement also provided for adjustments to the amount paid based on the variation in trade accounts receivable and inventory, for which the final amount was a receivable of R$23.7 million (US$12.3 million) by the acquirers.

The negotiation included four industrial units, of which two are in the United States and two in Germany, with combined annual production capacity of 1,050 thousand tons of PP.

In the United States and Germany, the acquisition included mainly industrial plants, trade accounts receivable, inventory and assumed liabilities related to the business operation. In the United States, the acquired plants are located in the state of Texas and have annual production capacity of 505 thousand tons of PP. In Germany, the plants have annual production capacity of 545 thousand tons of PP.

The amount paid included trade accounts receivable and inventory located in Mexico through the subsidiary Braskem México, in the amount of R$13.2 million (US$7.6 million), net of the accounts payable assumed. Since it represented an isolated asset acquisition closed in the short term with the sale of inventory and the financial settlement of accounts receivable and payable, this part of the operation was not considered a business combination.

The effective settlement of the operation by the parties occurred on September 30, with financial settlement on October 3, 2011. Until the effective payment to Dow Chemical, the acquirers did not make any relevant decisions regarding the operations of the plants, which began to occur only after October 3. The rights and obligations generated as of October 1, 2011 are the responsibility of the acquirers, such as the inventory produced and the new obligations assumed.

The reasons mentioned above lead to the conclusion that the acquisition of control occurred on October 3, 2011, the date of the registration of the business combination and as of when the acquired assets and liabilities were consolidated into Braskem’s financial statements.

This acquisition was approved by Brazil’s antitrust authority CADE (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica) on February 8, 2012, by the corresponding U.S. regulatory body on September 9, 2011, and by the European antitrust authorities on September 28, 2011.

The allocation of the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 was made on a preliminary basis by the acquirers. The Company contracted independent experts to measure the fair value of this acquisition, which was concluded in the second quarter of 2012. As a result of this assessment, and as required by IFRS 3 and its corresponding CPC 15 (R1), the Company recognized, retrospectively, among other, the following main amounts in the 2011 financial statements:

Braskem S.A.

Notes to the financial statements

at September 30, 2012

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

(i) addition of property, plant and equipment, in the amount of R$36,526;

(ii) effect on deferred income tax loss, in the amount of R$15,021.

The Company also recognized a credit, in the amount of R$8,540, related to an adjustment in the amount paid, as provided for by the initial agreement.

Therefore, the Company recognized a gain (bargain purchase) of R$30,045 (US$16.3 million) in the 2011 financial statements under “retained earnings”. The Company also recognized depreciation on the fair value adjustment in the amount of R$1,992, and its deferred income tax effect in the amount of R$639.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid to Dow Chemical and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which were recognized retrospectively in the financial statements of December 31, 2011:

	United States	Germany	Total business combination	Mexico	Total

Result of business combination (A) - (B)	9,824	20,222	30,045		30,045

A specialized independent company estimated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on the following assumptions:

(i) the fair value of trade accounts receivable was calculated based on the collectability of the receivables acquired;

(ii) the fair value of inventory was calculated considering the net realizable value of inventories;

(iii) the method used to calculate the value of property, plant and equipment was the “replacement cost approach”, reduced by economic and functional obsolescence. The Management, together with its external valuation experts, believed that because it uses the unit value of each asset comprising the plant, the “market approach” would not reflect the actual economic value, since it would not consider the costs with the technologies installed, installation-support and the active connection with the production and distribution system. During the valuation process, the following information was considered: (a) the installation cost of similar plants; (b) the most recent quotes for the expansion and replacement of similar assets; (c) the cash price for replacing the asset, considering the use conditions on the inspection date; and (d) the projected cash flows of the business.

(iv) the fair value of trade payables was determined based on the amount paid to settle the obligations by Dow during the negotiation; and

(v) the fair value of private pension plans was determined based on the net present value of actuarial liabilities.

The information related to the other business combinations carried out by the Company was presented in Note 5 to the annual financial statements for 2011.

This accounting offset was carried out in accordance with CPC 39 and IAS 32, which provides for the possibility of offsetting financial instruments when there is intent and rightfully executable right to realize an asset and settle a liability simultaneously.

This table was presented in the Company’s 2011 annual financial statements, in Note 16.

The projects in progress mainly relate to operating improvements to increase the economic useful life of machinery and equipment and to the expansion projects. On September 30, 2012, the main project in progress was located in Mexico (Ethylene XXI) and involved the construction of an ethylene and polyethylene plant through the subsidiary Braskem Idesa.

Impairment test for property, plant and equipment

In the first quarter of 2012, with the announcement of the shutdown of the refinery of Sunoco (Note 1 (a.1)), the Company's Management decided to conduct impairment testing of the Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) composed of the PP plants in the United States and that is part of the International Business operating segment, in accordance with the guidelines in CPC 1 (IAS 36). The test did not indicate the need to provision for the impairment loss of this CGU.

The following premises were adopted to determine the discounted cash flow: cash flow for 5 years based on the Business Plan, discount rate based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of 8.1% p.a. and growth rate to determine the perpetuity based on the annual inflation as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 2.3% p.a.

Notes to the financial statements

at September 30, 2012

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

Given the potential impact on cash flows of the “discount rate” and the “growth rate in perpetuity”, a sensitivity analysis was conducted based on changes in these variables, which confirmed that there was no need for recording a provision. The sensitivity analysis included two scenarios: (i) +0.5% in the discount rate; and

(ii) - 0.5% in the growth rate in perpetuity.

There were no significant events or circumstances in the period ended September 30, 2012 that indicated the need for impairment testing on the property, plant and equipment of the other CGUs and/or operating segments of the Company.

This table was presented in the 2011 annual financial statements of the Company, in Note 17.

Impairment testing of intangible assets with indefinite useful life

In December 2011, the Company tested intangible assets for impairment and did not identify any losses. The projection of cash flows used was 5 years as from December 2011. The following assumptions were adopted to determine value through the discounted cash flow method: projections of cash flows based on estimates of the business for future cash flows, discount rates based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and growth rates to determine perpetuity based on annual inflation measured by the IPCA consumer price index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo).

There were no significant events or circumstances in the period ended September 30, 2012 that indicated the need for impairment testing of the intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

(i) In June 2012, the Company paid at maturity the borrowing denominated in yen contracted from NEXI (Note 17 (ii)).

(ii) The Company entered into commodity hedge operations through swap instruments and naphtha and ethanol futures in order to protect itself from the fluctuations in feedstock prices to which it was exposed in certain transactions. It also entered into currency hedge transactions through futures to protect its cash flow, which exchanged exposure to prices in Brazilian real for prices in U.S. dollar or euro, since ethanol (the main feedstock used to produce green polyethylene) is traded in Brazilian real.

(iii) Brent – reference oil price.

(iv) The Company paid in advance the borrowings related to hedge accounting (Note 17 (b.i)).

(v) In September 2012, the Company settled at maturity the NCE contract that was classified as hedge accounting (Note 17(d)).

(b) Hedge accounting transactions

On September 30, 2012, all operations classified under hedge accounting had been settled.

(b.1) Effectiveness test of transactions designated for hedge accounting

In the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company showed that the derivatives held as hedge accounting were effective in offsetting the changes in the hedged item from the time the derivatives were contracted until the settlement of operations in September 2012, and that all other conditions for qualifying these instruments for hedge accounting were met. Accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivatives, amounting to R$1,948 (Note 18.2.2), was recorded under "other comprehensive income", completely transferred to profit or loss after the settlement of operations.

(c) Estimated maximum loss

The amount at risk of the derivatives held by Braskem on September 30, 2012, which is defined as the highest loss that could result in one month and in 95% of the cases under normal market conditions, was estimated by the Company at US$12,417 for the NCE swaps and US$777 for the share repurchase swap.

18.2.2. Hedge operations presented under “other comprehensive income” in shareholders' equity

The derivatives designated as cash flow hedge impacted “other comprehensive income”. The appropriations are allocated to interest expenses in the financial expenses group. The table below shows the summary of changes before the impact of income tax and social contribution:

		Appropriation of	Change in
	Dec/2011	interest	fair value	Sep/2012

Swaps EPP	(17,071)	16,386	685
Swaps NCE	833	(2,096)	1,263
	(16,238)	14,290	1,948

In the period ended September 30, 2012, the appropriation of accrued interest and change in the fair value of derivatives designated as “cash flow hedge” was R$16,238, which, with the effect of income tax and social contribution of R$5,522, amounts to R$10,716 and is presented in “other comprehensive income” (Note 26(e)).

18.3. Credit quality of financial assets

(a) Trade accounts receivable

Only a few of the Company's customers have risk ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. For this reason, the Company developed its own credit rating system for all accounts receivable from domestic customers and for part of the accounts receivable from foreign customers. The Company does not apply this rating to all of its foreign customers because most accounts receivable from them are covered by an insurance policy or letters of credit issued by banks. On September 30, 2012, the credit ratings were as follows:

			Percentage
1	Minimum risk		20.98%
2	Low risk		32.16%
3	Moderate risk		34.65%
4	High risk		3.34%
5	Very high risk	(i)	8.88%

(i) Most customers in this group are inactive and the respective accounts are in the process of collection actions in the courts. Customers in this group which are still active buy from Braskem paying in advance.

Default indicators for the periods ended:

	Domestic Market (LTM)	Export Market (LTM)
September 30, 2012	0.35%	0.25%

18.4. Sensitivity analysis

Financial instruments, including derivatives, may be subject to changes in their fair value as a result of the variation in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, shares and share indexes, price indexes and other variables. The sensitivity of the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to these variables are presented below:

(a) Selection of risks

On September 30, 2012, the main risks that can affect the value of the Company’s financial instruments are:

· Brazilian real/U.S. dollar exchange rate;

· LIBOR floating interest rate;

· CDI interest rate; and

· TJLP interest rate.

For the purposes of the risk sensitivity analysis, the Company presents the exposures to currencies as if they were independent, that is, without reflecting in the exposure to a foreign exchange rate the risks of the variation in other foreign exchange rates that could be directly influenced by it.

(b) Selection of scenarios

In accordance with CVM Instruction No. 475/08, the Company included three scenarios in the sensitivity analysis, with one that is probable and two that represent adverse effects to the Company. In the preparation of the adverse scenarios, only the impact of the variables on the financial instruments, including derivatives, and on the items covered by hedge transactions, was considered. The overall impacts on the Company’s operations, such as those arising from the revaluation of inventories and revenue and future costs, were not considered. Since the Company manages its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk on a net basis, adverse effects from depreciation in the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar can be offset by opposing effects on Braskem’s operating results.

(b.1) Probable scenario

The Market Readout published by the Central Bank of Brazil on September 28, 2012 was used to create the probable scenario for the U.S. dollar/Brazilian real exchange rate and the CDI interest rate, using the reference date of December 31, 2012. The Market Readout presents a consensus of market expectations based on a survey of the forecasts made by various financial and non-financial institutions.

The Market Readout does not publish forecasts for the interest rates LIBOR and TJLP. Therefore, the Company considered the expectations for the CDI interest rate for determining the probable scenario for those rates, given their correspondence.

(b.2) Possible and extreme adverse scenarios

For the Brazilian real/U.S. dollar exchange rate, a positive change of 25% was considered for the possible adverse scenario and of 50% for the extreme scenario based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2012.

For the CDI interest rate, a positive change of 25% was considered for the possible adverse scenario and of 50% for the extreme scenario based on the interest rate on September 30, 2012.

For the LIBOR interest rate, a positive change of 25% was considered for the possible adverse scenario and of 50% for the extreme scenario based on the LIBOR rate on September 30, 2012.

For the TJLP interest rate, an increase of 0.5% was considered for the possible adverse scenario and of 1% for the extreme scenario based on its rate on September 30, 2012, in accordance with the upward or downward adjustments made by the government in the rate, in this order of scale.

The sensitivity values in the table (c) below are the changes in the value of the financial instruments in each scenario, except for tables (d), (e) and (f), which show the changes in future cash flows.

25. Contingencies

The Company has contingent liabilities related to lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising from the normal course of its business. These contingencies are of a labor and social security, tax, civil and corporate nature and involve risks of losses that are classified by the Company’s management as possible. A provision for the lawsuits for which the risk of loss is classified as probable is recognized and is presented in Note 21 of this quarterly information.

The Company received a deficiency notice from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service due to the use of non-cumulative PIS and COFINS tax credits related to: (i) treatment of effluents; (ii) charges on transmission of electricity; (iii) freight for storage of finished products; and (iv) extemporaneous credits from acquisitions of property, plant and equipment. These deficiency notices have already been contested at the administrative level and comprise the period from 2006 and 2011, and as of September 30, 2012 totaled R$640 million, of which R$352 million related to principal and R$288 million of fine and interest.

The Company's legal counsel, in view of the recent decisions by the Tax Resources Administrative Board and the evidence provided by the Company, assess as possible the chances of success at the administrative level. For this reason, no provision has been accrued for these deficiency notices. Any changes in the court’s understanding of the position could cause future impacts on the financial statements of the Company due to such proceedings. For being a matter of recent contingencies, the Company cannot estimate the date for conclusion of the proceedings. No guarantee was accrued for these claims.

Based on the opinion of the internal legal advisors, there were no other significant additions of lawsuits that involve the risk of losses classified as possible or significant changes in the progress of the existing lawsuits.

The description of the main contingent liabilities of the Company was presented in the 2011 annual financial statements, in Note 28.
