Basis of Presentation

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, beginning on page F-2. You should also read our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the accompanying notes, which are included in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2009, but which are not presented in this Form 6-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, and June 30, 2008, and the accompanying notes, have been presented in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a subsidiary of Petrobras, we also prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Overview

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrobras. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are significantly affected by decisions of our parent company. Our ability to meet our outstanding debt obligations depends on a number of factors, including:

• Petrobras’ financial condition and results of operations;
  
  
• the extent to which Petrobras continues to use our services for market purchases of crude oil and oil products;
  
  
• Petrobras’ willingness to continue to make loans to us and provide us with other types of financial support;
  
  
• our ability to access financing sources, including the international capital markets and third-party credit facilities; and
  
  
• our ability to transfer our financing costs to Petrobras.

We earn income from:

• sales of crude oil and oil products to Petrobras;
  
  
• sales of crude oil and oil products to third parties and affiliates; and
  
  
• the financing of sales to Petrobras, inter-company loans to Petrobras and investments in marketable securities and other financial instruments.

Our operating expenses include:

• cost of sales, which is comprised mainly of purchases of crude oil and oil products;
  
  
• selling, general and administrative expenses; and
  
  
• financial expense, mainly from interest on our lines of credit and capital markets indebtedness, sales of future receivables and inter-company loans from Petrobras.

Purchases and Sales of Crude Oil and Oil Products

We typically purchase crude oil and oil products in transactions with payment terms of approximately 30 days. Petrobras typically pays for shipments of crude oil and oil products that we sell to it over a period of up to 330 days, which allows Petrobras sufficient time to assemble the necessary documentation under Brazilian law to commence the payment process for its shipments. During this period, we typically finance the purchase of crude oil and oil products through either funds previously provided by Petrobras or third-party trade finance arrangements. The difference between the amount we pay for crude oil and oil products and the amount Petrobras pays for that same crude oil and oil products is deferred and recognized as part of our financial income on a straight-line basis over the period in which Petrobras’ payments to us come due. We also purchase crude oil and oil products from Petrobras for sale outside Brazil. Additionally, we sell and purchase crude oil and oil products to and from third parties and related parties, mainly outside Brazil.

Results of Operations for the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2009, Compared to the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2008

Net Income

We had net income of U.S.$343 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$184 million in the first six months of 2008.

Sales of Crude Oil and Oil Products and Services

Our sales of crude oil and oil products and services decreased 48.2% to U.S.$12,047 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$23,257 million in the first six months of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales prices resulting from a 53% decrease in the average price of Brent crude oil, to U.S.$52 per barrel during the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$109 per barrel during the first six months of 2008. This decrease was partially offset by a 11% increase in our sales volumes, primarily due to increased sales of crude oil and oil products purchased from Petrobras and subsequently sold to third parties and affiliates.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased 50.4% to U.S.$11,352 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$22,874 million in the first six months of 2008. This decrease was proportional to the decrease in sales of crude oil and oil products and services and was primarily due to the same reasons, and also to lower average inventory price formation for oil and oil products acquired in periods of low international prices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of shipping costs and fees for services, including accounting, legal and rating services. These expenses decreased 10.5% to U.S.$229 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$256 million in the first six months of 2008. Shipping costs decreased 24% to U.S.$158 million during this period compared to U.S.$208 million in the same period of 2008, primarily due to reduced in the international freight prices.

Financial Income

Our financial income consists of the financing of sales to Petrobras, inter-company loans to Petrobras, investments in marketable securities and other financial instruments. Our financial income increased 3.5% to U.S.$1,099 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$1,062 million in the first six months of 2008.

2

Financial Expense

Our financial expense consists mainly of interest paid and accrued on our outstanding indebtedness and other fees associated with our issuance of debt. Our financial expense increased 19.9% to U.S.$1,204 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to U.S.$1,004 million in the first six months of 2008. This increase was primarily due to increased derivative expenses for exchange traded contracts resulting from increased offshore sales and volatility in the average price of crude oil and oil products in the international market; and increased interest expenses relating to the issuance of U.S.$1,500 million in Global notes in February 2009, and lines of credit in the aggregate amount of U.S.$4,500 million borrowed during this period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our oil trading activities principally from commercial banks, including lines of credit, as well as through inter-company loans from Petrobras and the issuance of notes in the international capital markets.

As an offshore, non-Brazilian company, we are not legally obligated to receive prior approval from the Brazilian National Treasury before incurring debt or registering debt with the Central Bank. As a matter of policy, however, we only issue debt following the recommendation of any of Petrobras’ Chief Financial Officer, Executive Board or Board of Directors, depending on the aggregate principal amount and the tenor of the debt to be issued.

Sources of Funds

Our Cash Flow

At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of U.S.$810 million compared to U.S.$288 million at December 31, 2008. Our operating activities used net cash of U.S.$54 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to using net cash of U.S.$4,237 million in the first six months of 2008, primarily due to lower sales of crude oil and oil products and services in 2009, as a result of lower average prices of crude oil and oil products in the international market.

Our investing activities used net cash of U.S.$255 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to using net cash of U.S.$8 million in the first six months of 2008, primarily as a result of decreased receivables from loans to related parties.

Our financing activities provided net cash of U.S.$831 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to providing net cash of U.S.$4,197 million in the first six months of 2008, primarily as a result of our financing needs, PifCo issued U.S.$1,500 million in Global notes in February 2009, and borrowed an aggregate amount of U.S.$4,500 million under lines of credit during the first six months of 2009.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable from related parties increased 3.9% to U.S.$25,092 million at June 30, 2009, from U.S.$24,155 million at December 31, 2008.

Our Short-Term Borrowings

Our short-term borrowings are denominated in U.S. dollars and consist of short-term lines of credit, loans from financing institutions and the short-term portion of long-term lines of credit, loans from financing institutions and sale of right to future receivables. At June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008, we had no short-term lines of credit or loans from financing institutions outstanding.

Our notes payable to related parties consist of notes payable to Petrobras, which decreased 20.3% to U.S.$20,196 million at June 30, 2009, from U.S.$25,353 million at December 31, 2008, as a result of the application of proceeds from our financing activities.

3

Our Long-Term Borrowings

At June 30, 2009, we had long-term borrowings outstanding in financing institutions of :

• U.S.$4,901 million (U.S.$275 million current portion) in long-term lines of credit with maturity date from 2009 to 2017 compared to U.S.$631 million at December 31, 2008. Between March 24, 2009, and June 5, 2009, PifCo borrowed an aggregate amount of U.S.$4,500 million under lines of credit with Banco Santander S.A., Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A and Société General. The loans will mature in 2011 and bear interest at an initial rate of Libor plus spreads reflecting prevailing rates at the time of incurrence. At June 30, 2009, we had utilized all of our available funds from lines of credit to purchase crude oil and oil products on the international market for sale to Petrobras and to purchase Petrobras’ crude oil and oil products exports; and

• U.S.$322 million (U.S.$72 million current portion) under the loan agreement with Malha Gas Investment Co. Ltd. (M-GIC), which acts as a Facility Agent for the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). This loan bears interest at Libor plus 0.8% per year, payable semi-annually. The principal amount will be paid semi-annually starting on December 15, 2009 through December 15, 2014.

At June 30, 2009, we also had outstanding:

• U.S.$235 million in Senior notes due 2011, bearing interest at the rate of 9.75%;

• U.S.$298 million (U.S.$67 million current portion) in connection with Petrobras’ exports prepayment program, U.S.$550 million in 6.436% Senior Trust Certificates due 2015, and U.S.$200 million in 3.748% Senior Trust Certificates due 2013;

• U.S.$5,418 million in Global notes, consisting of U.S.$374 million of Global notes due July 2013 that bear interest at the rate of 9.125% per year; U.S.$577 million of Global notes due December 2018 that bear interest at the rate of 8.375% per year; U.S.$398 million of Global notes due 2014 that bear interest at the rate of 7.75% per year; U.S.$899 million of Global notes due October 2016 that bear interest at the rate of 6.125% per year; U.S.$1,750 million of Global notes due March 2018 that bear interest at the rate of 5.875% per year; and U.S.$1,500 million in Global notes due March 2019 that bear interest at the rate of 7.875% per year. Interest on these notes is paid semi-annually and the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including the financing of the purchase of oil product imports, the repayment of existing trade-related debt and inter-company loans;

• U.S.$364 million (¥35 billion) in Japanese Yen Bonds issued in September 2006 and due September 2016. The issue was a private placement in the Japanese market with a partial guarantee from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). The bonds bear interest at the rate of 2.15% per year, payable semi-annually. On the same date, we entered into a swap agreement with Citibank, swapping the total amount of this debt to a U.S. dollar-denominated debt.

Our outstanding position at June 30, 2009 in irrevocable letters of credit was U.S.$947 million compared to U.S.$628 million at December 31, 2008, supporting crude oil and oil products imports. At June 30, 2009, we had standby committed facilities available in the amount of U.S.$478 million, which are not committed to any specific use. We have not drawn down amounts under these facilities, and, as of the date of this filing, we have not scheduled a date for the drawdown.

In June 2008, PifCo issued a corporate guaranty to International Finance Corporation – IFC in the amount of U.S.$40 million to guarantee a loan contracted by the affiliate company Quattor Petroquímica in connection with Petrobras’ consolidation of petrochemical assets in Southeastern Brazil. PifCo guarantee is directly proportional to the participation of Petrobras in Quattor Petroquímica. Accordingly, Quattor Petroquímica assumed the obligation to pay interest annually, in Reais, at a rate of 1% per year over the amount guaranteed by PifCo up to the maturity date of the loan in 2017, or until certain contractual conditions are reached, whichever comes first. In the event of execution of this guarantee, PifCo has been granted the right to recourse.

The Global notes bear interest at the rate of 7.875% per year, payable semiannually beginning on September 15, 2009. The Global notes are consolidated, form a single series and are fully fungible with PifCo’s outstanding U.S.$1,500 million 7.875% Global notes due 2019, issued on February 11, 2009. The funds were used to repay of the bridge loans incurred at the beginning of this year, in accordance with the 2009-2013 Petrobras Business Plan.

This financing had an estimated cost of U.S.$5 million, a premium of U.S.$87 million and an effective interest rate of 6.933% per year. The Global notes constitute general senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of PifCo and are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Petrobras.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Executive Board and Stockholder of
Petrobras International Finance Company

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Petrobras International Finance Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholder’s (defict) / equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

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

In an effort to ensure procurement of oil products for the Company’s customers, the Company currently has several short and long-term normal purchase contracts with maturity date up to 2017, which collectively obligate it to purchase a minimum of approximately 246,864 barrels of crude oil and oil products per day at market prices.

8. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

(b) Purchase option - Platforms (Continued)

PifCo may designate any affiliate or subsidiary to perform its obligations under this agreement.

(c) Loans agreement

The Company’s outstanding position at June 30, 2009 in irrevocable letters of credit was US$ 947,300, as compared to US$ 627,946 at December 31, 2008, supporting crude oil and oil products imports.

Additionally, the Company had standby committed facilities available in the amount of US$ 478,000 (US$ 546,270 at December 31, 2008), which are not committed to any specific use. PifCo has no drawn down amounts related to these facilities and does not have a scheduled date for the drawdown.

In June 2008, PifCo issued a corporate guarantee to International Finance Corporation – IFC in the amount of US$ 40,000 to back a loan contracted by affiliate company Quattor Petroquímica in connection with Petrobras strategy to consolidate petrochemical assets in the southeast region of Brazil. PifCo guarantee is directly proportional to the participation of Petrobras in Quattor Petroquímica. Accordingly, Quattor Petroquímica assumed the obligation to pay interest annually, in Reais, at a rate of 1% p. a. over the amount guaranteed by PifCo up to the maturity date of the loan in 2017, or until certain contractual conditions are reached, whichever comes first. In the event of execution of this guarantee, PifCo has been granted the right to recourse.

9. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

PifCo’s policy for the risk management of the price of oil and oil products consists basically in protecting the margins in some specific short-term positions. Future contracts, swaps and options are the instruments used in these economic hedge operations which are tied to actual physical transactions. Positive and negative results are offset by the reverse results of the actual physical market transaction and they are recorded in the statement of operations as financial income and financial expense. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value.

9. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)

For exchange-traded contracts, fair value is based on quoted market prices. For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value is based on dealer quotes, pricing models or quoted prices for instruments with similar characteristics. The transaction price is used as the initial fair value of the contracts.

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

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts that were entered into:

Commodity Contracts	Notional amount in thousands of bbl*
Maturity 2009	June 30, 2009	December 31, 2008
Futures and Forwards contracts
Crude oil and oil Products	(345)	(2,704)
Options contracts
Crude Oil and Oil Products	(950)	-
* A negative notional amount represents a short position

Cash Flow Hedge

In September 2006, the Company contracted a hedge known as a cross currency swap for coverage of the bonds issued in Yens in order to fix the Company’s costs in this operation in dollars. In a cross currency swap there is an exchange of interest rates in different currencies. The exchange rate of the Yen for the US dollar is fixed at the beginning of the transaction and remains fixed during its existence. The Company does not intend to settle these contracts before the end of the term.

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

Cash Flow Hedge (Continued)

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

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had the following cross currency swap, which was entered into:

Cross Currency Swaps

		Notional Amount
Maturing in 2016	%	in thousand (JPY)
Fixed to fixed		35,000,000
Average Pay Rate (USD)	5.69
Average Receive Rate (JPY)	2.15

At June 30, 2009, the over the counter foreign exchange derivative contract, presented a maximum estimated loss per day (VAR – Value at Risk), calculated at a reliability level of 95%, of approximately US$ 22,534.

PifCo designates at inception whether the derivative contract will be considered hedging or non-hedging for SFAS 133 accounting purposes. Non-hedging derivatives that are considered economic hedges, but not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes, are recorded as other current assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded as financial income or financial expense.

The effect of derivative instruments on the statement of financial position for the period ended 30, June 2009.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(In thousand of U.S. dollars, except as otherwise indicated)

9. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)

Cash Flow Hedge (Continued)

PifCo had written put options in the past that allows the holder of the options to sell a floating number of heavy fuel oil volumes at a minimum price of US$14/barrel. Such option had served as an economic hedge on related future sales of receivables under the structured finance export prepayment program; the intent of which was to ensure that physical barrels delivered under the structured finance export prepayment program generate sufficient cash proceeds to repay related financial obligations. Given the low strike price relative to the market the fair value of these options is immaterial at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Fair Value

Fair values are derived either from quoted market prices available, or, in their absence, the present value of expected cash flows. The fair values reflect the cash that would have been received or paid if the instruments were settled at year end. Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term debt and trade payables approximate their carrying values.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the Company’s long-term debt was US$ 11,537,955 and US$ 5,883,376 respectively, and had estimated fair values of approximately US$ 11,960,000 and US$ 5,625,000, respectively.

The Company’s long-term asset related to the export prepayment program was US$ 297,600 and US$ 331,450 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and had fair values of US$ 300,700 and US$ 335,100, respectively.

The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 were applied to the Company’s derivative instruments and certain marketable securities recognized in accordance with SFAS-115.

The Company’s commodities derivatives and marketable securities fair values were recognized in accordance with exchanged quoted prices as the balance sheet date for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, and, therefore, were classified as level 1.

Fair Value (Continued)

The fair values of cross currency swaps were calculated using observable interest rates in JPY and USD for the full term of the contracts, and, therefore, were classified as level 2.

The fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liability accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009, was:

	Level 1	Level 2	June 30, 2009
