Independent auditor´s review report on the interim condensed financial statements at June 30, 2018

To the Management and Shareholders of PPLA Participations Ltd. (previously denominated BTG Pactual Participations Ltd.) São Paulo - SP

We have reviewed the interim condensed financial statements of PPLA Participations Ltd. (previously denominated BTG Pactual Participations Ltd.) (Company) as of June 30, 2018 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and the cash flows for the quarter and semester then ended, as well as a summary of the main accounting practices and other notes.

The Company's management is responsible for the fair presentation and preparation of the interim condensed financial statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the interim information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards for reviewing interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 – “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” ). An interim review consists principally of applying analytical and other review procedures, and making enquiries of and having discussions with persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. An interim review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards. An interim review does not provide assurance that we would become aware of any or all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express such an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the interim condensed financial statements

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Accounting Standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of Reais)

1. Operations

PPLA Participations Ltd. ("PPLA Participations" or "Company") was constituted as a tax exempted Limited Liability Company under the laws of Bermuda on March 26, 2010. On December 29, 2010, the Bermuda monetary authority approved the constitution of the Company. PPLA Participations headquarters is located on Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, HM 11, Hamilton, Bermuda.

The Company has applied for and has been granted exemption from all forms of taxation in Bermuda until March 31, 2035, including income, capital gains and withholding taxes. In jurisdictions other than Bermuda, some foreign taxes will be withheld at source on dividends and certain interest received by the Company.

In August, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors changed the corporate name of BTG Participations Ltd. to PPLA Participations Ltd., in order to clarifying the investors' understanding of the BPAC11 units and BBTG12 units (PPLA Participacions, currently PPLA11) in the context of the segregation held on August 21, 2017.

PPLA Participations (together with BTG Pactual, the “Group”) have units listed on NYSE Euronext in Amsterdam and B3 in São Paulo. Each unit issued, corresponds to 1 class A shares and 2 class B shares of PPLA Participations Ltd. All units listed and traded in Amsterdam remained wholly interchangeable with the units in Brazil.

The Company is the sole owner of BTG Bermuda LP Holdco Ltd ("BTG Holdco") which, on December 29, 2010, received a Class C common share from BTG Pactual Management Ltd. and thus became general partner of PPLA Investments LP. (“PPLA Investments“), previously denominated BTG Investments LP. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company obtained the right to control the financial and operating policies of PPLA Investments.

PPLA Investments was formed in 2008 and makes proprietary capital investments in a wide range of financial instruments, including Merchant Banking investments in Brazil and overseas, and a variety of financial investments in global markets.

BTG Pactual’s asset management area manages PPLA Investments’ assets and receives fees at arm’s length.

Buyback Program

On November 25, 2015 the Board of Directors announced its units buyback program. Since the beginning of the program 92,742,230 shares have been repurchased in the total amount of R$1,260,754 and 86,530,430 shares had been canceled, in the amount of R$1,174,199. On June 30, 2018, 2,070,600 units (December 31, 2017: 5,896,900) are held in treasury.

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of Reais)

New unit programs

On February 14, 2017 the Board of Directors have approved two new unit programs, which units will be trade on the B3 S.A., comprised exclusively the securities of each of the Companies: (i) units to be traded under the "BPAC11" ticker symbol, comprised of one common share and two class A preferred shares issued by the Bank, and (ii) units to be traded under the BBTG12 ticker symbol, comprised of one Brazilian depositary receipt ("BDR") representing one class A share and one BDR representing two class B shares issued by PPLA Participations.

Acquisitions and sales

During the semester ended June 30, 2018, due to the financial situation of Brasil Pharma S.A. (“BR Pharma”) and recent request for judicial recovery carried out by the entity, an additional impairment was established in the credits held with PPLA Investments in the amount of R$262 millions. The Company's Management continues to monitor the restructuring process of BR Pharma, the likelihood of success and operational continuity, and the consequent ability to receive the activated amounts. As at June 30, 2018, PPLA Investments exposure in BR Pharma is equivalent to a corporate loan of R$56.9 millions (2017: R$318.4 millions) recorded at fair value.

During the semester ended June 30, 2018, PPLA Investments has measured at nil its exposure in Bravante Group due to a fair value adjustment made in light of a reduced transported volume, relevant commercial contracts lost and company high indebtness.

During the semester ended June 30, 2018, PPLA Investments recorded fair value adjustment gain of R$350.5 millions in Universo Online S.A (“UOL”), as a result of PagSeguro’s IPO on NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) on January 24, 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, PPLA Investments has measured at nil its equity investment in B&A Mineração S.A and Brasil Pharma S.A., recording a loss of approximately R$125 millions and R$404 millions, respectively.

2. Presentation of financial statements

The Company’s interim condensed financial statements were prepared and are being presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS 34) – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The items included in the financial statements of each of the businesses of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates ("functional currency"). The Company's functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, since the majority of the Company's business transactions are in the mentioned currency. The subsidiaries functional currency generally corresponds to the currency from its country.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

a. Revised IFRS pronouncements

  • I. Accounting standards applicable for semester ended June 30, 2018

  • IFRS 9 ‐ as IFRS 9 were adopted by PPLA Participations during the years ended during 2015 and 2016, no impacts are expected from the adoption of the standard on the date of the interim condensed financial statements for the semester ended June 30, 2018.

  • IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: The pronouncement replaces IAS 18 – Revenue and IAS 11– Construction Contracts, as well as respective interpretations (IFRICs 13, 15 and 18). It requires that the recognition of revenue reflect the transfer of goods or services to the client. This standard is effective for the years beginning January 1st, 2018 and there are no impacts for the interim condensed financial statements of Company.

II. Accounting standards recently issued and applicable in future periods

The following pronouncements will become applicable for periods after the date of these interim condensed financial statements and were not early adopted:

  • IFRS 16 – Leases – The pronouncement replaces IAS 17 ‐ Leases, and related interpretations (IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27). It eliminates the accounting for operating lease agreements for the lessee, presenting only one lease model, that consists of: (a) recognizing leases which terms exceeds 12 months and with substantial amounts; (b) initially recognizing lease in assets and liabilities at present value; and (c) recognizing depreciation and interest from lease separately in the result. For the lessor, accounting will continue to be segregated between operating and financial lease. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1st, 2019. Possible impacts arising from the adoption of this standard are being assessed and will be completed by the date this standard is effective.

  • IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts: The pronouncement replaces IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts and presents three approaches for assessment of insurance contracts:

  • General Model: applicable to all contracts, particularly the long‐term contracts;

  • Premium Allocation Approach (PAA): applicable to contracts which term is up to 12 months and with modestly complex cash flows. It is simpler than the standard model; however, it can be used only when it produces results similar to those that would be obtained it the standard model was used;

  • Variable Fee Approach: approach specific for contracts with participation in the result of investments.

Insurance contracts should be recognized based on the analysis of four components:

  • Expected Future Cash Flows: estimate of all components of cash flow of the contract, considering inflows and outflows;

  • Risk Adjustment: estimate of offset required by deviations that may occur between cash flows;

10

PPLA Participations Ltd.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

  • Contractual Margin: difference between any amounts received before the beginning of the contract coverage and present value of cash flows estimated in the beginning of the contract;

  • Discount: projected cash flows should be discounted at present value, to reflect the time value of money, at rates that reflect the characteristics of respective flows.

This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1st, 2021. Possible impacts arising from the adoption of this standard are being assessed and will be completed by the date this standard is effective.

  • Amendment to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts – Joint application of IFRS 9: The amendment enables entities that are issuers of insurance contracts to mitigate possible impacts of the adoption of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments before the effectiveness of IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts, through two options:

  • Temporary exemption: adoption of IFRS 9 together with IFRS 17, i.e., as from January 2021. This option is applicable only to entities with significant insurance activities (over 80% of total liabilities) and that have not applied IFRS 9 in advance;

  • Overlay approach: adoption of IFRS 9, however, for assets reclassified to the category Fair Value through Profit or Loss, transferring the effects of the adoption of IFRS 9 from Income for the period to Other Comprehensive Income until the effectiveness of IFRS 17.

The Company has no insurance contracts at the date of preparation of these interim condensed financial statements.

  • Amendment to IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – The amendments refer to an inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 requirements, when addressing the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The effective date has not been defined by IASB yet. No material impacts arising from this change on the interim condensed financial statements of Company were identified.

b. Restatement of statements of cash flows

Due to the improvements identified on the statement of cash flow for the semester ended June 30, 2017, the "Translation adjustments" was reclassified in the amount of R$3,078 thousand, previously presented in the group "Adjusted gain / (loss) for the year ", to "Investment entity portfolio" included in the group "Increase / (decrease) in operating assets", both of them included in the Operating Activities of the Company.

The interim condensed financial statements were approved by the Management on August 14, 2018 and they contain a true and fair view of the financial position and results of the Company.

3. Main accounting practices

a. Financial instruments

This section described the accounting practices adopted as a result of the early adoption of IFRS 9.

Recognition date

All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trading date, that is, the date in which the entity becomes an interested party to the contractual relationship of the instrument. This includes purchases or sales of financial assets or liabilities that require delivery of the asset at a specified time established by regulation or market standard.

Initial recognition of financial instruments

The classification of the financial instruments at their initial recognition depends on the purpose for which they were acquired and their characteristics. IFRS 9 classification is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flows. Subsequently to the IFRS 9 early adoption without electing fair value option, the Company classified its financial assets as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) with or without recycling or at amortized cost.

Derivatives financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value and held as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. The changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the consolidated income statement “Net gains (losses) with financial instruments held for trading”.

Financial assets and liabilities held for trading

Financial assets or liabilities held for trading are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Variations in fair value, interest revenue, expenses and dividends are recorded in “Gains (losses) on financial instruments held for trading”.

Included in this classification are: debt instruments, equities and short sale that have been acquired specifically for the purpose of short term trading or repurchase.

Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss

Company irrevocably designates financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the initial recognition (fair value option), when the option significantly reduces or eliminates measurement or recognition inconsistencies that could otherwise arise from the measurement of assets or liabilities or recognition of gains and losses on these assets and liabilities in different bases.

12

PPLA Participations Ltd.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income includes equities and debt instruments:

Equity Instruments

At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading, nor contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies. If it makes such election, only dividend income that does not clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment is recognized in profit or loss, with all other gains and losses (including those related to foreign exchange) recognized in other comprehensive income. These gains and losses remain permanently in equity and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss, even on derecognition. After derecognition of the investment, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss retained in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

Debt Instruments

Debt instruments can be recognized under this category if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and; 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. The unrealized gains or losses are recognized directly in equity as other comprehensive income. Upon the realization of the debt instrument, the unrealized gains or losses, previously recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, are reclassified to the income statement, as “Gain (losses) on fair value through other comprehensive income”.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and;

  • 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.

After initial measurement, financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Although the Company is not expected to sell a financial asset measured under this category, as it is expected to hold it to maturity to collect contractual cash flows, the Company need not hold all of those instruments until maturity and sales may occur. Changes in foreign exchange related to Financial assets measured at amortized cost are presened as “Other income / (expenses)”.

13

PPLA Participations Ltd.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and taking into account any discount or premium on issue and relevant costs that become part of the effective interest rate.

Reclassifications

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Impairment of financial assets

Under IFRS 9, at initial recognition of a debt instrument, the Company needs to project its expected credit losses for the next 12 months and recognize it as an allowance for credit losses, even though no losses have yet occurred. This is a change of concept to an expected loss model, rather than an incurred loss model that was effective under IAS 39.

If the Company is expecting a significant deterioration in the credit quality of its counterparty, it should recognize an allowance equivalent to the lifetime expected credit losses of the instrument, rather than only the 12 month expected credit losses.

Measurement

Expected credit losses are a probability‐weighted estimate of credit losses. They are measured as follows:

  • Financial assets that are not credit‐impaired at the reporting date: as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive);

  • Financial assets that are credit‐impaired at the reporting date: as the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows;

  • Undrawn loan commitments: as the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group if the commitment is drawn down and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive; and

  • Financial guarantee contracts: the expected payments to reimburse the holder less any amounts that the Group expects to recover.

If the assets are no longer performing (a credit event), despite considering the expected credit losses for the lifetime of the instrument, the Company should also recognize interest revenue based on the net carrying amount, which means that the allowance should be accounted for on interest recognition.

14

PPLA Participations Ltd.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

The main evidence of deterioration of the credit quality of the counterparty are:

  • the significant decline in the fair value of any security for a prolonged period;

  • noncompliance with contract terms for delay of principal or interest;

  • deterioration in ability to pay and operational performance;

  • breach of covenants;

  • significant change in the performance of the counterparty market;

  • reduced liquidity of the asset due to financial difficulties the lender.

For impairment losses related to debt instruments through other comprehensive income, such losses will be recognized on the consolidated statements of income against other comprehensive income in an account called “accumulated impairment amount”. However, if in a subsequent year occur an increase in the fair value of the financial asset that can be related to any event, the loss previously considered will be reversed in profit and losses.

The Company is required to reduce the gross carrying amount of its financial instruments when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows on the financial assets on its entirety or a portion thereof.

4. Risk management

The Company’s risk management involves several levels of our management team and various policies and strategies. The structure of the Company’s committees/areas allows engaging the whole organization and ensuring decisions are readily implemented.

PPLA Participations Ltd.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

The main committee/area structure allows for the inputs from the entire organization and ensures that the decisions are implemented effectively. The main committees involved in risk management activities are: (i) management committee, which approves policies, defines overall limits and is ultimately responsible for managing risks; (ii) New Business Committee, which assesses the feasibility and supervises the implementation of proposals for new businesses and products; (iii) Credit Risk area, which is responsible for approving new loans according to the guidelines set forth by our CRO; (iv) Market Risk area, which is responsible for monitoring market risk, including the use of our risk limits (Value at Risk ‐ VaR), and approving exceptions, (v) Operational Risk Area, which assesses the main operational risks for the internal policies and regulatory risks established; (vi) Compliance Committee, which is responsible for establishing policy rules and reporting potential problems related to money laundering; (vii) CFO, which is responsible for monitoring liquidity risk, including cash and cash equivalents and capital structure; (viii) Audit Committee, which is responsible for independent verification of compliance with internal controls and assessment of maintenance of the accounting records.

The Company seeks to monitor and control its risk exposure through a variety of separate but complementary financial, credit, operational, compliance, tax and legal reporting systems. In addition, a number of committees are responsible for monitoring risk exposures and for general oversight of our risk management process, as described further below. The close involvement of various committees/areas (including their subcommittees) with the ongoing management and monitoring of our risks helps the Company foster its culture of risk control throughout the organization. The committees/areas consist of senior members of business units and senior members of control departments that are independent of businesses.

a. Market risk

Value at Risk (VaR) is the potential loss of value of the trading positions due to adverse movements in the market during a defined year within a specific level of confidence. Together with the Stress Test,

VaR is used to measure the exposure of the Company’s positions at market risk. The Company uses a historical simulation for calculation of VaR, applying real distributions and correlation amongst assets, not using Greek approximations and standard distributions. VaR may be measured in accordance with different years, historical data and reliable levels. The accuracy of the market risk methodology is tested through daily back testing that compares the compliance between VaR estimates and gains and losses realized.

PPLA Participations Ltd.

Notes to the interim condensed financial statements

As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands of reais)

The VaR presented below was calculated for a one‐day year, level of level of confidence of 95.0% and one‐year historical data. Reliable level of 95.0% means that there is 1 within 20 chances that the day trade net income remains below estimated VaR. Therefore, insufficiencies arising from net income expected from trade in a single day of trading exceeding the reported VaR would be expected to occur, on average, around once a month. Insufficiencies in a single day may exceed the VaR reported in material amounts. Insufficiencies may also occur more frequently or accrue during a longer year, such as the number of consecutive trading days. As it is backed up by historical data, VaR’s accuracy is limited to its capacity to predict unprecedented market changes, as historical distributions in market risk factors may not produce accurate prognostics of future market risk. VaR methodologies and assumptions on different distributions may produce a materially different VaR. In addition, VaR calculated for a one‐day year does not consider the market risk of positions that may not be settled or offset with hedges within the term of one day. As previously mentioned, the Company uses a stress test models as a complement to VaR method for its daily risk activities.

The table below contains daily average VaR for the years ended:
