   Petrobras wrote off R$6.194 billion of capitalized costs that represent amounts overpaid in the acquisition of fixed assets in previous years, because of the payment scheme revealed by Lava Jato; the write-off was recognized in 3Q14 (US$2.527 billion per the 20-F).

   Petrobras stated that the difference between the fair value and the book value of its assets was significantly greater than any reasonable estimate of improper payments and that this difference does not originate primarily from improper payments, but from other sources, such as the measurement method and changes in the business context (exchange rate, discount rate, prices, and margins).

   Petrobras explained that the postponements of Comperj and RNEST-2 were measures to preserve cash and a response to the difficulties the Lava Jato investigation created for suppliers, and attributed the losses mainly to project planning deficiencies, a higher discount rate (risk premium of the stalled project), delays in expected cash inflows, and lower projected economic growth.
