Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

 

1st Quarter 2011

 

 

Dear Shareholders

 

 

BRF – Brasil Foods S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA: BRFS3 and NYSE: BRFS) first quarter 2011 financial results reflect a good performance thanks to the efforts at all the company’s business units as well as the capture of synergies which have already been incorporated since the anti-trust authority (CADE) gave us a degree of flexibility.

 

 

Net sales reached R$ 6.0 billion, a year-on-year growth of 19.3%, resulting in gross profit of R$ 1.5 billion, 37.4% higher, with a gross margin of 25.7%. EBITDA reached R$ 816.4 million, equivalent to a record EBITDA margin of 13.6%, reflecting a gain of 480 basis points.  Net profit was 527.4% higher, amounting to R$ 383.5 million, representing a net margin of 6.4%.

 

 

This good operating result for 1Q11 was driven by the following factors: (i) successful strategy for the acquisition of inputs in a trading  environment of higher commodity prices, offsetting the specific effects in the quarter, (ii) better management of the Company’s cost and expenses, (iii) continuing capture of synergies in areas authorized by the anti-trust agency and (iv) better performance in the export market, the division which most contributed to the  4.8 percentage point improvement in EBITDA margin.

 

 

Demand in the Brazilian market remains positive for food due to the favorable macroeconomic environment which is benefiting growth in the sale of processed products and consequently, improved profitability. Although representing a smaller relative share, the market for in-natura meat also reported a good performance.

 

 

On the external front, improved demand was an important factor in restoring profitability to historical levels, also supported by joint operations between BRF and Sadia.

 

 

In addition, Fitch Ratings assigned an investment grade rating to BRF, this being instrumental in providing the company with greater  opportunity, visibility and ease of investor access and thus confirming the strategic focus of a world class company.

 

 

We are leading a new cycle of company growth within the limits laid down by the Transaction Reversibility Preservation Agreement (Apro) while we await a final decision from the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on the merger.

SECTORAL PERFORMANCE  

 

Global Economy – During 1Q11, the rate of growth in the world economy remained very close to that registered at the end of 2010, driven mainly by emerging market countries. One of the prime concerns during the period was inflation due to energy and foodstuffs costs increase. In this context, the central banks of Europe as well as countries such as China, India, Russia, Brazil and Chile all embarked on a process of monetary tightening.

Exports – Export volumes of Brazilian chicken meat during 1Q11 was 10.7% higher than for the same period last year. Physical shipments of pork and beef were down 2% and 16.6% respectively, on the same comparative basis. Average export prices rose significantly for these three segments (18% for chicken meat, 13% for pork and 39% in the case of beef) when compared with 1Q11 against 1Q10. As a result export revenues were higher than those registered in the first three months of 2010 - 31% for chicken meat, 11% for pork and 16%, beef.

Domestic Economy – Macro-prudential measures adopted by the outgoing government towards the end of 2010 combined with increases in the basic Selic interest rate in the first quarter of this year provoked the first signs of moderation in the rhythm of expansion of the Brazilian economy. The main concern of the new government was also to take steps towards countering high inflation rates driven by commodity prices, monitored prices (urban transportation, principally) and services (education, health, etc). Nevertheless, the consumer confidence index remained at a positive level in March (120.1 according to the São Paulo Commercial Association - ACSP) while the unemployment rate was 6.5% in March this year, below the 7.6% reported in March 2010 and thus keeping consumer optimistic.

Raw Materials – Between January and March 2011, average domestic corn prices were 69% higher than 1Q10, a similar trend being seen in average soybean prices (32%). Both commodities also registered increases of 10% and 1% respectively between 4Q10 and 1Q11, these increases similarly driven by the appreciation in the Real, the rise in oil prices, the tightening in the supply-demand binomial and excessive liquidity due to reduced rates of interest.

Domestic Market

 

Net sales totaled R$ 3.6 billion, 20.4% higher than in 1Q10. The highlight for the quarter was in processed products which recorded growth of 16.8% with good profitability. The good first quarter performance confirms the capacity of our brands to hold their margins despite sharp increases in costs, principally those of grains. The markets for in-natura products remained strong with healthy margins.


The Company also reported an outstanding result in the Food Services businesses where there was a 28.4% increase in sales in relation to last year, the focus being on the growth in processed products and Global Accounts and above the market as a whole. Such a consistent performance was supported in the domestic market by the increase in disposable incomes and by increased food consumption in the away-from- home segment, driven by demand from the emerging class C population grouping. This performance was reflected in margins sustained at significant levels.

 

Meats – With sales rising 27.5%, volumes up 10.7% with a good improvement in sales mix and higher average prices, the highlights in this segment were a better processed product mix and an increase in the relative participation of  in-natura sales of poultry and pork meats, more especially in the form of special cuts.

 

Dairy Products – Dairy product volumes were 8.7% higher while sales revenue was up by 16.2% against average prices 6.9% higher. Even though sales performance improved, prices paid by industry to producers pushed costs, and then the margins.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

Marketing – The campaign run to broaden the Sadia brand’s international footprint among Brazilian consumers was very well accepted, serving to further consolidate the name. The Perdigão brand’s “One heart only” campaign gives the opportunity for corporate areas to relate directly with the client. The Batavo brand launched its refrigerator award campaign jointly with the launch of various dairy product lines, especially the Naturis line.

 

Exports

 

The international operation reported an excellent recovery in performance in 1Q11, despite the substantial increase in costs and the appreciation in the Real against the US dollar. Measures were taken in the direction of introducing more robust internal measures based on the structuring of an initiative for standardizing all the overseas offices and operations.

 

Export revenue increased 17.7%, to R$ 2.4 billion on a volume of 549.9 thousand tons (up 4%).

 

Meats – World demand for protein continued intense during 1Q11, largely due to the gradual recovery in the leading economies and the increasing importance of emerging powers such as China and South Africa. During the period, there were some shortfalls in production in several producing countries which further strengthened demand for Brazilian meat. As a result, and in spite of unfavorable exchange rates and grain prices, the Company was successfully able to implement its principal commercial initiatives, ensuring above expected returns.

 

Meat exports reached R$ 2.4 billion, 18.3% greater, with volumes 3.7% up on the year and average prices 14% more in Reais. In the food service segment, global accounts reported growth in consumption in such markets as the Middle East and Japan.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

During the quarter the leading markets performed as follows:

 

*       Europe – Just as in Brazil, grain costs are affecting European production (and consequently an increase in local product prices). This to a degree favors our activity in this market by allowing a consistent increase in prices. Since the beginning of the year, the focus has been on the qualification of the portfolio and the improvement in services rendered to our clients in the Industry segment. Results at Plusfood were satisfactory with market repositioning and management reorganization.

 

*       Middle East – The political situation in the region following the outbreak of several internal insurrections recommended some precaution although we have experienced no significant problems of an operational nature with our clients. Inventory in the region has been in equilibrium since 2H10 and demand strong and expected to be especially the case as from 2Q11 due to shipments to supply the Ramadan period when traditionally consumption rises. It is worth pointing out  that among the specific objectives in the region, the Company is seeking to increasingly consolidate its brands, upgrade activities as a local distributor and continually improve our Halal slaughtering practices, fundamental if we are to export to Islamic countries.

 

*       Far East – BRF’s Rio Verde-GO industrial unit was approved for exports of pork to China, the largest market in the world for this meat, and the plant is now awaiting the appropriate certification. Additionally, our business in the Japanese market was unaffected in the period in spite of all the problems in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami.

 

 

*       Eurasia – Efforts are being channeled towards consolidating local distribution, increasing the participation of elaborated products in line with the Company’s general guideline for adding value in each chosen market. The issue of Russian trade embargoes on some processing plants could reduce the profitability of this market in 2Q11.

 

*       Africa, Americas and other countries – The Company has made an effort to adjust its product portfolio to the needs of this market, also endeavoring to find solutions for developing the sale of accessible processed products. The development of closer relations with the leading distributors in the region has also been pursued relentlessly by the Johannesburg office. In the Americas, BRF is standardizing all operational procedures of its proprietary distribution operations (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Peru), so reinforcing the current distribution model.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin – Gross Profit totaled R$ 1.5 billion, 37% more than 1Q10, reflecting a gain of 340 basis points in operating margin from 22.3% to 25.7% of Net Sales.

 

These results were possible thanks to an improvement in operating performance, principally in the export market and from gains in synergy – mitigating cost pressure from commodities.

 

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses before other results and equity income were 9.8% greater – representing a reduction from 17.0% to 15.6% of Net Sales.

 

Selling expenses totaled R$ 854.9 million, an increase of 140 basis points.  In spite of the 20.5% increase in fixed expenses, variable expenses fell 2.7% following negotiations involving maritime transportation.

 

On the other hand, administrative expenses registered R$ 84.1 million, a year-on-year increase of 25.2% reflecting operating expenses with the implementation of IT systems, payment of consultancies for merger and due to necessary adjustments in structure in accordance with company requirements.

 

Other Operating Results – The amount of R$ 83.6 million for other operating results against the R$ 60.6 million in the preceding year reflects principally costs of idle capacity and due to the pre-operational phase of the new industrial units in Bom Conselho-PE, Lucas do Rio Verde-MT, Mineiros-GO and Três de Maio-RS. Additionally, profit sharing overheads are included in this account in line with IFRS requirements.

 

Operating Profit and Margin – The operating result was R$ 525.0 million against R$ 210.6 million in the same period in 2010, a 149.3% improvement on the back of the excellent performance recorded. As a percentage of Net Sales, the Company posted a margin of 8.7% against 4.2% in 1Q10.

 

Financial – Financial expenses amounted to R$ 52.3 million against R$ 151.8 million, a decline of 65.5% due to the lengthening of short-term debt and corresponding to an average reduction in interest rates as well as a  function of results obtained from wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant reductions in net currency exposure have been possible thanks to the use of non-derivative instruments (currency denominated debt) for  foreign exchange protection in line with hedge accounting standards, generating substantial benefits through the matching  of currency liabilities with export shipments. As a result of this process, there has been a reduction in the volatility of financial expenses on a monthly basis. BRF’s net debt registered a increase from R$ 3.6 billion to R$ 3.8 billion.

Income Tax and Social Contribution – Quarterly income tax and social contribution totaled R$ 86 million, representing 18.2% of the corporate tax base. In 1Q10, income tax and social contribution corresponded to a positive R$ 2.3 million due to weaker results posted for that period in the light of export market conditions.

 

Net Income and Net Margin – Net income of R$ 383.5 million was 527.4% higher, principally due to the results from both domestic and export markets as well as the capture and implementation of synergies with the accompanying reduction in costs and expenses.

 

EBITDA – Operating profits in the form of EBITDA (earnings before financial expenses, taxes and depreciations) was R$ 816.4 million, 83.8% higher. This increase in the profitability from operations is a reflection of good domestic market performance, an improving international market and the capture of synergies which accounted for a net R$ 62 million in 1Q11.

 

With this improvement in performance, the Company was able to report an increase of 480 basis points in the EBITDA margin from 8.8% to 13.6% in the quarter, 102 basis points of this corresponding to synergies achieved in 1Q11.

2.     MANAGEMENT’ STATEMENT AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The Company’s quarterly financial information are in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil which comprise the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”) and the pronouncements and interpretations of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), which are in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

The Company’s individual quarterly financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and for presentation purposes, are identified as (“BR GAAP”). Such quarterly financial information differs from IFRS in relation to the evaluation of investments in associates and joint ventures, which were measured and recorded based on the equity accounting method rather than at cost or fair value, as is required by IFRSs. 

 

The Company’s individual and consolidated quarterly financial information, are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais, as well as, the amount of other currencies disclosed in the quarterly financial information, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands.

 

The preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial information requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosures of contingent liabilities, as of the reporting date. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could lead to results requiring a material adjustment to carrying amount of the affected asset or liability in future periods.

 

The settlement of the transactions involving these estimates can result in amounts that significantly differ from those recorded in the quarterly financial information due to the lack of precision inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis.

 

The quarterly financial information was prepared based on the historical cost except for the following material items recognized in the balance sheet:

 

·          derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

 

·          derivative financial instruments measured at fair value through the statement of income ;

 

·          financial assets available for sale measured at fair value; and

3.      SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

The quarterly financial information was prepared according to CVM Deliberation No. 581/09, which establishes the minimum content of interim financial statements and the principles for measurement and recognition of full set or condensed financial statements for an interim period.

 

The interim financial statements, in this case denominated as quarterly financial information, is aiming to provide updated information  based on the last annual financial statements disclosed. Therefore, the quarterly financial information is focused on new activities, events and circumstances and do not duplicate the information previously disclosed, except in the case where Management judged that the maintenance of the information was relevant.

 

The current quarterly financial information was consistently prepared based on the accounting policies and estimates calculation methodology adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 (note 4). There were no changes of any nature related to such policies and estimates calculation methodology.  As allowed by CVM Deliberation No. 581/09, Management decided not to disclose again the details of the accounting policies adopted by the Company, hence, it is necessary the reading of the quarterly financial information together with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, in order to allow the quarterly financial information users to enlarge its understanding regarding the Company’s capacity of profit and future cash flows generation as well as its financial conditions and liquidity.

 

 

4.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

4.1. Overview 

 

In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to market risks related mainly to the fluctuation of interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company utilizes hedging instruments to mitigate its exposure to these risks, based on a Financial Risk Management Policy (“Risk Policy”) under the management of the Financial Risk Management Committee, Board of Executive Officers and Board of Directors.

 

 

 

47


 

ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2011 – BRF – BRASIL FOODS S.A.

 

Explanatory Notes

 

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

 

The Company has policies and procedures to manage such exposures and can use hedging instruments, provided they are approved by the Board of Directors, in order to reduce the impacts of these risks.

 

The Policy does not authorize the Company to contract leveraged transactions in derivative markets, and determines that individual hedge operations (notional) must be limited to 2.5% of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

 

Considering the objective of hedging transactions to mitigate the risks and the uncertainties to which the Company is exposed, the results obtained in the three period ended on March 31, 2011 met the established objectives.

 

In the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, Management provided the details about the workflow of the Risk Policy (note 5), which has not been changed during the three month period ended March 31, 2011, therefore, in the quarterly financial information and, therefore, only the balance sheet and statement of income figures of the financial instruments hired are presented.

 

4.2. Interest rate risk management  

 

The interest rate risk is the risk of the Company suffering economic losses due to adverse changes in the interest rates.

 

The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to the different interest rates and does not establish limits between fixed and floating rates either.

 

The Company’s indebtedness is essentially tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), fixed coupon (Brazilian Reais e U.S. Dollars), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”) and Brazilian National Development Bank Monetary Unit (“UMBNDES”) rates. In the event of adverse changes in the market that result in LIBOR hikes, the cost of the floating indebtedness rises and on the other hand, the cost of the fixed indebtedness decreases in relative terms. The same consideration is applicable to the TJLP.

 

Regarding to the Company's marketable securities investments, the main index is the Interbank Deposit Certificate (“CDI”) for investments in the domestic market and fixed coupon for investments in the foreign market.

 

The results obtained in relation to the objectives proposed by the Company concerning exposure to interest rates were attained in the three month period ended on March 31, 2011.

4.3. Foreign exchange risk management  

 

Foreign exchange risk is the risk of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates causing the Company to incur unexpected losses, leading to a reduction of the values of assets or an increase of the amounts of obligations. The main exposures, to which the Company is subject, as regards foreign exchange variations, refer to the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar (“US$” or “USD”) and also of the Euro and of the British Pound in relation to the Brazilian Real.

Additionally, the Company also held 1.300 short positions of option contracts (700 short position of option contracts on December 31, 2010) (note 4.3.2).

 

4.10.     Sensitivity analysis chart

 

The Company has loans, payables and receivables in foreign currency, and in order to mitigate the risks incurred through foreign exchange exposure it contracts derivative financial instruments.

 

The Company understands that the present interest rate fluctuations do not significantly affect its financial result since it opted to change to fixed rate a considerable part of its floating interest rates debts by using derivative transactions (interest rates swaps). Company designates such derivatives as hedge accounting and therefore adopts special accounting treatment proving the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of the hedge transaction.

 

Five scenarios are considered for the next twelve-month period in the table below, considering the percentage variations of the quotes of parity between the Brazilian Reais and U.S. Dollar, Brazilian Reais and Euro and Brazilian Reais and Pounds, whereas the most likely scenario is that adopted by the Company. The remaining scenarios are based on quoted prices from the Brazilian Central Bank as of March 31, 2010.

10. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

The group of biological assets of the Company comprises living animals which are separated by the categories: poultry, swine and bovine. These animals were separated into consumable and for production. The evaluation criteria and the accounting practices adopted by the Company related to biological assets have not changed in the period of three month ended on March 31, 2011, when compared to the ones adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 (note12).

 

In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by the cost of formation especially due to the short life cycle of the animals and due to the fact that a significant portion of the profitability of our products derives from the manufacturing process, not from the obtainment of unprocessed meat (raw materials / slaughter). This opinion is supported by an annual report of appraisal of fair value prepared by an independent specialist, which assessed an immaterial difference between the two methodologies. Therefore, the Management maintained the registration of the biological assets at formation cost.

 

During the first quarter Management has not identified any events that could have changed business conditions or severely affected the assumptions adopted, therefore, the appraisal report issued for December 31, 2010 was not updated.

13.2.     Estimated time of realization

 

Management considers that deferred tax assets related to provisions for contingencies will be realized as the lawsuits are resolved and there are no estimates for the expected time of realization; thus, they are classified as non-current. The Company considers that deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences of employee benefits will be realized at the payment of the projected obligations.

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

Management estimates that the deferred tax assets originating from tax losses carryforward and negative basis of social contribution are expected to be realized as set forth below:

 

    BR GAAP     BR GAAP e IFRS  
    Parent company     Consolidated  
Year     Value     Value  
2011     22,198     80,384  
2012     23,664     85,693  
2013     25,450     92,160  
2014     27,131     98,246  
2015 onwards     144,006     431,927  
    242,449     788,410  

 

In assessing the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible.

 

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

Current income taxes benefit (expense) of subsidiaries abroad     (2,962)     (2,582)  
Deferred income taxes benefit (expense) of subsidiaries abroad     429     2,942  

 

The Company determined that the total profit recorded in the books of its wholly-owned subsidiary Crossban will not be redistributed. Such resources will be used for investments in the subsidiary, and thus no deferred income taxes were recognized. The total of undistributed earnings corresponds to R$998,838 as of March 31, 2011 (R$928,885 as of December 31, 2010).

 

The Brazilian income tax returns are subject to a 5-year statute of limitation period, during which the tax authorities might audit and assess the company for additional taxes and penalties, in case inconsistencies are found. Subsidiaries located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

23.   PROVISION FOR TAX, CIVIL AND LABOR RISK

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising from the regular course of business, which include civil, administrative, tax, social insurance and labor lawsuits.

 

The Company classifies the risk of adverse decisions in the legal suits as “remote”, “possible” or “probable”. The provisions recorded by the Company in its consolidated financial statements relating to such proceedings fairly reflect the probable losses as determined by the Company’s management, based on legal advice and for which the amount of probable losses is known or can be reasonably estimated.

 

The Company is involved in certain judicial proceedings for which the amount of probable losses is not known or cannot reasonably be estimated, especially in the civil area. The Company, with the assistance of its legal counsel, monitors the course of these claims and classifies the probability of losses in such cases as possible or remote.

 

The Company’s Management believes that the recorded provision for contingencies, according to CVM Deliberation No. 594/09 is sufficient to cover eventual losses related to its legal proceedings, as presented below:

Explanatory Notes

 

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

The subsidiary Sadia and some of its current and former executives were nominated as defendant in five class actions suits arising from investors of American Depositary Receipts (“ADR’s”) issued by Sadia and acquired between April 30, 2008 and September 26, 2008 (Class Period). These claims were filed in the Southern District of New York court in the United States of America, seeking remediation in accordance with Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from losses on foreign exchange derivative contracts. By order of the American court, the five class actions suits were consolidated into a single case (class action) on behalf of the Sadia’s investors group.  As allowed by the CVM Deliberation No. 594/09, paragraph 92, the Company’s Management has not disclosed any additional information related to this legal suit because it could be harmful to its defense.

IAS 12 deferred taxes: 

 

On December 2010, IASB issued a review of rule IAS 12. The amendment addresses aspects related to the determination of the manner expected of recovery of the deferred income tax when the ownership of the investment is measured by the model of fair value of IAS 40.  This rule is effective for the fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2012. The Management of the Company does not predict impacts resulting from the adoption of that amendment to its financial statements.

 

IFRS 9 financial instruments: 

 

On October 2010, IASB issued a review of rule IFRS 9. The amendment to rule IFRS 9 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.  The rule will apply as from January 1, 2013. The company is assessing the effects of the application of that rule and possible differences in relation to IAS 39. 

 

Improvements on IFRSs 2010:

 

In May 2010, IASB issued a review of rules IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 27, IAS 34 and IFRIC 13. The amendment to rule IFRS 3 is effective for the yearly periods starting on/or after July 1, 2010. The other changes to the rules are effective for yearly periods starting on/or after January 1, 2011. The Company is assessing the impacts of the adoption of these changes of rules on its financial statements.

On May 10, 2011 as disclosed through the announcement to the market issued by the Company the Federal Government Attorney’s Office at the CADE has published a report PROCADE 8012.004423/2009-18 on the business combination transaction involving Sadia and BRF (previously denominated Perdigão).

 

PROCADE has suggested to the CADE that the transaction be approved, conditional to certain restrictions, considering:

 

(i)      effectively permit a third economic entity to contrast the marketing power generated by BRF; and/or

 

(ii)     allow BRF to share with consumers the efficiencies resulting from the transaction.

 

According to the Report, the hypothesis of rejection of the transaction would only arise should no alternative be found that meets the requirements indicated.

 

PROCADE’s report is neither final nor binding being a supporting document to the final ruling on the transaction to be issued by CADE, which is not limited to the terms of the report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

BRF - Brasil Foods S.A.

Itajaí - SC

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF - Brasil Foods S.A. included in the Quarterly Financial Information referring to the quarter ended March 31, 2011, comprising the balance sheet and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual interim financial information in accordance with Committee for Accounting Pronouncements CPC 21 – Interim Financial Statements and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 and the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting , as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB,  and presented in a manner consistent with the rules of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International Standards on interim reviews (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 financial 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.

 

Opinion on the individual quarterly financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information included in the Quarterly Financial Information described above were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information and presented in a manner consistent with the rules of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

 

Opinion on the consolidated quarterly financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Financial Information described above were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information and presented in a manner consistent with the rules of the CVM.

 

Emphasis of matters

 

Approval of Sadia S.A.’s business combination

As mentioned in note 1 and 36, on July 8, 2009, the Company acquired the control of Sadia S.A. This transaction is under analysis of the Administrative Counsel for Economic Defense (“CADE”) and involved the execution of an Agreement for the Preservation of the Operation Reversibility (“APRO”), until the implementation of the final decision by CADE.

 

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

We also examined the individual and consolidated statement of value added (DVA), prepared under management’s responsibility, for the quarter ended on March 31, 2011, for which the disclosure is required by Brazilian corporation laws applicable to publicly-held companies and is an additional information for the IFRS which does not require this disclosure. These statements were submitted to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all its material respects, in accordance with the Quarterly Financial Information taken as whole.

 

The accompanying financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
