Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

Dear Shareholders

 

 

BRF – Brasil Foods S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA: BRFS3 and NYSE: BRFS) announces  its results for the year 2011 - one to be commemorated for its intense activity, challenges and many important achievements – part of the process of building a major company born from the merger of two companies with a track record of more than 70 years.

  

With the approval of the merger between BRF and Sadia by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in July , we have advanced in the direction of building a solid Brazilian multinational in the food sector - cause for satisfaction and pride among our entire team.

 

In 2011, we were confronted with a hostile scenario in the export market with the deceleration in several of the world economies and the continual appreciation of the Real. Our costs also came under pressure as a result of the rise in commodity prices and an increase in payroll above inflation. However, it was exactly in this inclement environment that we succeeded in ending the year with excellent results, given the momentum, clear evidence of the Company’s major potential going forward and this in spite of the delay during a good part of the year before receiving the final report on the merger from the anti-trust authorities.

 

Net sales amounted to R$ 25.7 billion, 13.3% greater than in 2010, closing 2011 with an output equivalent to 6.2 million tons of products. Cash generation expressed as EBITDA, grew 23.1%, reaching R$ 3.2 billion. Net income reported year-on-year growth of 97% reaching R$1.6 billion adjusted for the provision for the incorporation of Sadia S.A., scheduled to take place in 2012. These results have been made possible thanks to the capture of synergies from the merger, swift remedial action in the face of cost increases, the penetration of our brands and our widely dispersed distribution network in the domestic market.

 

We continue to invest heavily in Brazil and to move forward with our internationalization through selective acquisitions and the construction of a plant overseas. Out of investments of R$ 1.9 billion during the year, we allocated R$ 260.2 million to new businesses, including acquisitions.

 

We see great potential in the Argentine market and its vocation for agribusiness and for this reason, have expanded our operation in Argentina through the intermediary of the BRF unit. This will be in addition to the existing Sadia businesses and the two acquisitions made during the year, Avex and the Dánica Group. We will also absorb the processed division of Quickfoods and with it, the Paty brand (absolute leader in its category) to be received from Marfrig in exchange for the assets which we shall transfer during 2012 as part of the agreement signed with CADE.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

During the year, we took the decision to build a processed products plant in the United Arab Emirates, a region strategic to our internationalization process. Forecast to be unveiled in early 2013, this unit will be important in consolidating the Company’s share of Halal-related products market. Local production capacity will allow us to offer flexibility and adapt our products to regional and cultural demands and also expand the food service and retail portfolio enabling closer proximity to the region’s consumers.

 

The Company is also expanding its horizons in Asia. In addition to opening a sales office in China, we have constituted a joint venture with Dah Chong Hong Limited. This operation will allow us to distribute our products in the Chinese market, process meat at local units, disseminate the Sadia brand and enter the retail and food channels. There are also plans before the end of 2013, to build a plant in the country.

 

From the point of view of organizing our operations, the year was particularly notable for the unification and modernization of IT systems (SAP). We have also standardized processes and implemented a structure to monitor projects/synergies (PMO), which has permitted us to make advances in the merger process and to effectively operate as a single company with all that this represents in the administrative, commercial, manufacturing, human and behavioral areas. We have made progress in the capture of synergies post merger, achieving a gross gain of R$ 702 million in 2011 (R$ 562 million of net synergies before tax and participations) in a period in which we were still operating with the companies on only a partially unified basis.

 

New challenges lie ahead, inherent to the current stage of our business and arising from a macroeconomic scenario which remains volatile, principally in the overseas market. However, in the domestic market we see a positive outlook both in the traditional retailing area as well as in the food service business, notwithstanding the first half of 2012, when we expect to see continued adaptations due to the implementation of the Performance Commitment Agreement with CADE . In parallel, we will continue to pursue projects which seek to capture synergies and efficiency gains while investing substantially in improvements to the commercial, logistics and innovation areas. We will be working on this in juxtaposition with the formation of the new Company’s internal culture which also involves the integration of customs, values and credos of the countries where we are developing new businesses.

 

Again we are developing our commitment to building a better society, implementing at all stages of the production chain the mission to promote sustainability and improve the relationship with our stakeholders. It is in this spirit that we are developing actions of socio-environmental responsibility notably in the form of control of emissions, reduced water consumption and an enhanced relationship with the communities surrounding our operations. Our commitment is to local development based on initiatives identified and conducted jointly with community representatives. Such initiatives are in alignment with the principles of the Global Compact to which the Company subscribes in relation to human rights, labor rights, the environment and combating corruption.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 


Global Economy – The economies of the leading emerging market economies continued to expand, sustaining world growth in spite of uncertainties in the Eurozone and slower growth in the developed economies. The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) latest updates are projecting world GDP at 3.8% for 2011, a 1.6% growth for developed economies and 6.4% for the emerging market economies group for the same year. The Fund sees a slower global economy in 2012 albeit this far from classifying as a recession. The outlook is for the developed countries to maintain their investments in the emerging market economies and the Eurozone to intensify its efforts to resolve the crisis in the area.

 

Eurostat, the region’s statistics agency, reported that Eurozone GDP shrank by 0.3% in 4Q11, compared with 3Q11 and rose 0.7% against the same period for the preceding year. The IMF is predicting a “slight” recession in the Eurozone in 2012, while the German and French economies are expected to continue growing.

 

Meanwhile, the Chinese economy is expected to grow 9.2% in 2011 (IMF data). The country has suffered the threat of slowing exports in the face of global uncertainty, but despite lower expected growth rates for this year, the IMF is forecasting that "China has space for an anti-cyclic fiscal response and should use this space” to stimulate domestic demand and expects a recovery in growth of about 9.0% for 2012.

 

Domestic Economy – The deceleration in the Brazilian economy in 2H11 was more than expected, principally reflecting monetary and fiscal tightening in early 2011 and the deterioration in world markets. Brazilian GDP at market prices reported a variation of 1.3% in 4Q11 versus 2.1% in 3Q11.

In December/11, volumes of restricted retail sales (which do not include vehicles, parts and building materials) reported a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. Hyper- and supermarket segments posted a 4.0% increase in sales, below the 9.0% for 2010 versus 2009. This more modest showing can be attributed to factors such as the increase in the cost of food as well as a delayed response to the sharp deceleration in real incomes in the final months of the year. For 2012, prospects are for a recovery in consumption at the retail level driven by the expressive hike in the minimum wage that should favorably impact positively lower income families.

 

In 2012, the outlook is that interest rate cuts, the nominal increase of 14 % in the minimum wage and the expected dilution of international tension could all have a beneficial impact on the Brazilian economy. Low unemployment rates and rising consumption are expected to act as drivers of Brazilian growth. More specifically, the consumption of basic items and foodstuffs at the retail level are forecast to record increasing growth in 2012 thanks to higher purchasing power in lower income households. IMF forecasts indicate an evolution in Brazilian GDP of 3.0% in 2012, rising 4.9% in 2013.

Brazilian Exports - In 4Q11, the volume of Brazilian chicken exports was 7.7% higher than 3Q11. Compared with the same quarter of 2010, this increase was 7.9%. Revenue from chicken exports in US$ was 8.9% higher in 4Q11 against 3Q11 and more than 20% against 4Q10. According to the Brazilian Poultry Farmers Union -UBABEF/Secex data, chicken export volume in 2011 was 3.2% higher than the preceding year (with a revenue increase of 21.2%). The progressive opening of the Chinese market, which begun in 2011, will be crucial to providing  growth momentum in Brazilian exports over the next few years.

 

The performance in the pork meat segment was less vigorous in 4Q11 as well as the year as a whole. Export volumes in 4Q11 versus 3Q11 rose just 2.2% while revenue increased more than 12.0% on the same comparative basis. However, in relation to 4Q10, export volume in the final quarter of 2011 was 1.6% down, although revenue increased 11.5%. Export volumes ended  2011 with a decline of 4.4% compared to 2010 and an increase of revenue of 7.0%. With the Russian trade ban on Brazilian meat in 2011, which had a major negative impact on the segment, the expectation for the pork processing industry is for diversification of export destinations in 2012. Asia represents the best prospects for sustaining Brazilian overseas sales in 2012, with promising business in markets such as Hong Kong, China and South Korea. Recent approval for pork shipments by the US could help open up markets such as Japan and South Korea. For the president of Abipecs, (Brazilian Pork Production Industry and Exporters Association) these Asian markets are important for the quantity of meat consumed and the demand for better quality and higher value-added products. The measure could also open up exports to Europe, another market where sanitary rules are particularly demanding.

 

In relation to beef (in natura and industrialized), total export tonnage in 4Q11 increased 2.6% against 3Q11 (revenues increasing 1.8% in the same period). In relation to 4Q10, there was growth in export volume of 10.9% and an increase in revenue of 26.1%. Exported volumes of beef fell 10.8% in 2011 against 2010. On the other hand, revenue was 11.7% over 2010, driven by higher meat export prices and exchange rates for the US dollar.

 

In general, 2012 is shaping up to be a positive year for Brazilian meat exports. Expectations of opening of new markets, the recovery in traditional ones and the growth in demand coming from emerging markets should lift the volume of Brazilian meat exports during 2012, more especially chicken meat which will benefit from the impact of higher beef prices.

Raw Materials – The average price of a sack of corn on the domestic market fell 4.4% in 4Q11 versus 3Q11 due to the reduction of 12.3% in export volume in relation to the preceding year. Compared with 4Q11 and 4Q10, domestic corn prices remained 4.9% higher due to the sharp rise in prices on the international commodities markets (+ 10.5% above 4Q10) partly offset by final inventory 2.2% higher in Brazil when compared with the previous year. Soybean prices on the Brazilian market suffered a decline of 3.7% in 4Q11 versus 3Q11 with the outlook of a record area under this crop in Brazil and Argentina in addition to greater supplies coming onto the US market in September/October. Compared with 4Q11 and 4Q10, prices on the domestic market fell 6.0% due to higher year-on-year inventory. Prices on the international soybean market rose 5.5% compared with 4Q11 and 4Q10 due to a decline in output in US production of 90.6 in 2010  to 83.2 million tons in 2011(-8.2%). In the year 2011, corn increased 37.5% and soybeans, 14.7% in the Brazilian market, while international prices registered an increase of 59% for corn and 25.9% for soybeans.

Production

 

In 2011, BRF produced 5.8 million tons of foodstuffs, in volume terms, 4.1% higher than reported in 2010. The larger part of this growth was in the meats segment. The Company pursued a policy of prioritizing enhanced commercialization margins for all segments in detriment to growth in volume and market share.

 

Operations were terminated at São Lourenço do Sul (RS) and Itatiba (SP) and production transferred to Carambeí (milk-based beverages) and Teutônia (pasteurized milks). The decision to relocate manufacturing activities was due principally to logistical questions.

 

During the year, the production process was focused on redirecting production from Russia to other markets without impacting volume output. In line with plan, the Company also started operations at Copercampos and gradually ramped up capacity at the Lucas do Rio Verde (MT) plant. Also in line with plans, additional production synergies were captured and organizational structuring implemented following CADE’s approval. 

 

The Company also established a procurement intelligence area for monitoring risks and opportunities along the more important production chains and implemented Global Sourcing.  A significant portion of captured synergies were obtained through the implementation of optimization projects as a result of joint efforts by the supplies and technical areas.

 

On the innovation front, BRF launched 288 new SKUs, namely: Food Services - 14; domestic market – 43; exports – 121; beef - 82 and 28 in the dairy products segment. A start was made on the construction of a new technologies center in Jundiaí (SP) to support the innovation processes with operations scheduled to begin during 2012.

Domestic Market

 

Domestic market sales evolved 14.3% to R$ 11.6 billion, a period marked by lower robust consumption rates compared with 2010. Additionally, the increase in the price of commodities exerted upward pressure on production costs. On the other hand, price and cost management policy, the efforts made to improve sales team productivity and investments in innovation contributed positively to results.

 

Meats – Despite an increase in costs – more especially those of grains – the meats segment posted a 18% improvement in revenue with the commercialization of 1.8 million tons in the year. Total revenue was R$ 9 billion.

 

Other processed products – In 2011, BRF dedicated special attention to innovation in the frozen product business. The distribution of the Sadia-branded products under the Escondidinho  label was expanded throughout Brazil and reported excellent sales performance.

 

The Perdigão Meu Menu line was also expanded, consumer reception being particularly good. Total revenue for the segment was R$ 2.0 billion, a growth of 2.3%.

Exports

 

Operations in the international market developed satisfactorily in 2011. Despite oscillations in foreign exchange rates, the economic crisis in Europe, the Russian trade ban on Brazilian meat imports and the escalating costs of commodities, net sales grew 12.3% to R$ 10 billion, equivalent to a volume of 2.2 million tons, 1.2% lower than the preceding year due to the strategy of prioritizing wider margins.

 

Some markets such as Europe, Japan, China and Singapore helped drive a positive performance while the Middle East and Egypt, affected by popular uprisings (the Arab Spring), as well as Iraq, reported a weaker business climate. The European Plusfood division turned in results above forecast reflecting strategic changes in the client and product portfolios and the modernization of the industrial unit in the Netherlands.

 

In the quarter, net revenue from exports amounted to R$ 2.7 billion, 16.9% higher than recorded in 4Q10. Margins for the quarter were squeezed by higher local inventory in the Japanese and Middle Eastern markets where there was a decline in prices and volumes. In addition, there was a strike early in the quarter at the port of Itajaí which required shipments to be diverted. Consequently, the operating margin in the export market fell from 5.5% in 4Q10 to 1.2% in 4Q11.

 

Market performance

 

Far East – Volumes grew 4% and revenues, 20.1% in the year despite pressure to reduce prices in the final quarter in the Japanese market, which had performed well up to the end of the first half.  We expect margins to be squeezed in this market until local inventories adjust to demand.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

Eurasia – Revenues fell 26.6%, with volumes also down 31.5% due to the Russian ban on imports from the majority of Brazilian exporting plants. The ban has since been lifted and exports should normalize as from February 2012. However, the Ukraine took a large part of the volume originally destined for Russia, alleviating most of the negative impact of these import restrictions.

 

Europe – In this region , difficulties in some countries, especially Greece, Italy and Portugal have had no impact on our businesses. Sales revenue in this market increased 8.1%, albeit on lower volumes of 9.2% due to the Company’s switch in strategic focus to higher value added particularly in the case of those products made at Plusfood, which expanded its portfolio, from the increased local productive capacity.

 

Middle East – Sales revenue was up 5.7% on stable volume. Margins were squeezed for products such as chicken griller – a heavily demanded product in this market, more especially in the 2H11. However, while our marketing campaigns focused on the religious period of Ramadan with the objective of further enhancing customer loyalty to the Sadia brand - Top of Mind in the region -, it also served to relieve some of the pressure on margins for in natura products. The Company’s objective in this market is to add value by building a new industrial unit in the United Arab Emirates focused on the production of processed products (breaded products, hamburgers, etc.).

 

South America – Revenues increased 55.2% and volumes 14.8%. In addition to growing demand in these markets, business benefited from the incorporation of the acquired Avex and Dánica operations as from 4Q11 in Argentina.

 

Africa and other countries – In Africa, the Company continued to pursue its principal objective of improving relationships with some distributors in those regions of the continent considered strategic, the area as a whole growing sales revenue by 32.7%, while in other countries growth was 51.7%.

Dairy products – An improved product mix was instrumental in increasing the dairy product sales revenue 9.8% to R$ 2.5 billion. The atypical spike in sugar and the continual upward pressure on milk prices paid to the producers, pressured production costs in the segment.

Some important steps were taken in remodeling the industrial complex in this segment and launching the Naturis line, Sadia-branded danbo and mozzarella cheeses and the ecologically correct packaging for Batavo milk.

 

In 4Q11, dairy product revenue rose 4.7%, although, operating performance was negative at 2.3%. The strategic plan provides for the upgrading of the product mix with higher value added products in addition to integration of logistics with other segments, permitting gains in synergies and expansion of the sales portfolio.

Food Service – In 2011, this segment reported a performance which was better than the average for the market . This reflects the importance of the Food Service business in the Company’s expansion strategy in a process which adds in customer service as a competitive differential. Sales revenue increased 19.7% to R$ 1.4 billion. The result is largely due to the growth in the consumption of away-from-home meals, increased purchasing power nation-wide, more especially the C class, and by the increase in food service chains as a result of a growing number of shopping malls not only in the major cities but also in upcountry areas. The management model for the area contributed to results, reflecting the adoption of processes representing the best practices of both Sadia and Perdigão following the effective merger of the two. Examples are the added value in the delivery of beef and the improved focus on the service provider areas with dedicated portfolio and commercialization areas. In addition, the adding of value in the positioning of the global accounts contributed to the performance of the Food Service segment.

Net Sales – BRF registered net operating sales of R$ 25.7 billion in the year, 13.3% higher, principally supported by good performance in the domestic market and the Food Service segment. In 4Q11, net operating revenue totaled R$ 7.1 billion, a 10.9% increase, driven by the commercialization of the festive line of products (year-end holiday season).

Cost of Sales – The cost of sales rose 12.4% to R$ 19 billion. Although the cost of the corn and soybean meal – increased 38% and 15%, respectively, during the year and there was also pressure from other costs such as direct raw materials and labor, COGS was 74.1% of net sales, 60 basis points lower than the preceding year, principally due to captured synergies.

 

In 4Q11, the cost of sales reported a year-on-year 13% increase, representing a 130 basis points rise in COGS from 71.3% to 72.6%.  4Q10 benefited from a well adjusted inventory policy both for raw materials as well as seasonal products, built up to confront grain costs.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin – Gross Profit amounted to R$ 6.7 billion, a gain of 16.2%, reflecting an improvement of 60 basis points, or 0.6 percentage points in gross margin, which increased from 25.3% to reach 25.9% of net sales, supported by revenue performance and synergy gains. In 4Q11, Gross Profit amounted to R$ 1.9 billion – a year-on-year increase of 5.8%, which we consider positive given the excellent performance in 4Q10 when costs were lower.

 

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses were 10.6% higher due to investments in the implementation of IT systems and in consultancy work related to the merger. Besides that, we obtained 40 basis points of gains. In 4Q11, operating expenses amounted to R$ 1.2 billion – 17.4% higher, a reflection of the increase in fixed commercial overheads and administrative expenses/management compensation.

 

Other Operating Results – The amount of R$ 402.7 million in other operating results is 2.2% higher than the preceding year and incorporates income from the reversal of provisions, recovery of expenses, benefits plan and insurance claims. Expenses include: costs with the pre-operational phase of the new industrial units, loss damages, provision for tax and civil risks. In line with IFRS rules, participations in profits are also booked to this item.

 

Operating Profit and Margin The Company recorded an operating margin which was 130 basis points higher – from 6.5% to 7.8%, the operating result indicative of the improvement in business performance. Operating income before financial expenses (EBIT) reached R$ 2 billion, a gain of 34.8%.

 

However in 4Q11, there was a decline of 9.2% to R$ 508 million in operating profit – EBIT, equivalent to an operating margin of 7.2% (150 basis points below the figure registered in 4Q10). This reflects greater pressures from costs of the principal raw materials, direct materials, exports and a one-off spike in fixed commercial and administrative expenses.

 

Financial – Net financial expenses totaled R$ 479.5 million (0.7% lower) and remained largely unchanged in relation to the preceding year. While currency volatility during the course of the year had an impact on increased outstanding debt and financial overheads, efficient risk management and the adoption of best practices of hedge accounting mitigated the adverse effects on financial result.

In addition to the foreign exchange translation effect, allocation of cash to investments in Capex  and acquisitions made during the year, increased net debt by 48.7% to R$ 5.4 billion, resulting in a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.7 times, with a book currency exposure of US$ 470.7 million.

 

In 4Q11, financial expenses were 21.6% higher than the same period in 2010 due to the foreign exchange translation effect on loans, financing and other currency denominated liabilities as well as an impact on the conversion of overseas investments.

 

In the light of the high level of exports, the company conducts operations with the specific purpose of currency hedging. In accordance with hedge accounting standards (CPC 38 and IAS 39), the Company uses financial derivatives (for example: NDF) and non-derivative financial instruments (for example: foreign currency debt) for conducting hedging operations and concomitantly, to eliminate the respective unrealized foreign exchange rate variations from the income statement (under the Financial Expenses line).

 

The use of non-derivative financial instruments for foreign exchange cover continues to permit significant reduction in the net currency exposure in the balance sheet, resulting in substantial benefits through the matching of currency liability flows with export shipments and therefore contributing to a reduction in the volatility of the financial result.

 

In 12.31.11, the non-financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting for foreign exchange cover amounted to USD 645.2 million with a reduction in currency exposure in the balance sheet of the same value. In addition, the financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting according to the concept of a cash flow hedge for coverage of highly probable exports, totaled USD 1,360 million + EUR 316 million + GBP 69,3 million and also contributed directly to the reduction in currency exposure. In both cases, the unrealized result for foreign exchange rate variation was booked to shareholders’ equity, thus avoiding the impact on the Financial Expenses.

Income Tax and Social Contribution Income tax and social contribution totaled R$156.5 million for the year, 20.3% lower, due to differences in tax rates on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries and the foreign exchange translation effect on overseas investments. However, in 4Q11, the Company booked R$ 215 million under this item with respect to the constitution of a provision for losses of income tax and deferred social contribution on tax losses and negative base for social contribution on net income and not to be used following the incorporation of Sadia into BRF, in accordance with expected for 2012, in line with CPC 24 (Subsequent Events – IAS 10), and CPC 32 (Taxes on Profits – IAS 12). The foregoing value reflects Management’s current best estimates. The final impact of Sadia’s incorporation with BRF will be calculated as at 31 December 2012. The provision will not affect the amount of dividends proposed/distributed relative to fiscal year 2011, and relating to the dividend distribution through the intermediary of payment of interest on shareholders’ equity.

Net Income and Net Margin – Net income was R$ 1.4 billion in the year with a net margin of 5.3%, an increase of 70.1% in relation to the preceding year, reflecting BRF’s good operating performance and synergies captured – this despite the twin challenges of exports and associated currency volatility. In 4Q11, net income reached R$ 121 million, 66.4% down due to the factors explained above.

 

As mentioned in the previous item, a provision was constituted in 4Q11 for the future incorporation of Sadia. Excluding this effect, the adjusted net income for the year would have been R$ 1.6 billion,  an increase of 96.8%, with a net margin of de 6.2% and R$ 336 million in 4Q11, 6.7% lower and equivalent to net margin of  4.7%.

 

EBITDA – EBITDA reached R$ 3.2 billion, 23.1% higher, recording a gain of 100 basis points in relation to the preceding year, building in the improvement in results and synergy gains in commercial cost and expense variables. On a year-on-year comparative basis, 4Q11 reported a reduction of 4.1%. In spite of factors already discussed such as: pricing pressure in some export markets, pressure from grain prices – reflecting in higher production costs for the principal raw materials, and strikes in the port of Itajaí delaying shipments due to the need for diversion to other port causing the Company to turn in a narrower EBITDA margin, there was significant cash generation in 4Q11.

Social Balance – At the end of 2011, BRF employed 132,696, of which 120,096 were direct employees (308 with labor contracts for a fixed duration); 12,301 outsourced personnel and 299 interns.

 

Enhancement of Human Capital – BRF has expanded the number of women in leadership positions by 2011, included themes and aspects of sustainability in the integration process of new hires as well as focusing on the internal communication of the company for increasing employee awareness of the Group’s business. All this has been achieved based on a program for enhancing and training of the local labor force, the improvement of management practices for increasing employee satisfaction, the inclusion and education of the sustainability issue in the strategies of organizational development, and for providing guidance to employees as agents for sustainability.

 

BRF also runs programs for training leaders appropriate to their various hierarchical levels. During the third quarter, 100% of the leaders in the Company’s operating areas took part in the ‘Our Way of Leading’ program. Individual development plans were concluded for 100% of the vice presidents, directors and managers and a functional competences model established for the areas and for senior management. Thus, managers and teams can already be guided by competencies in processes for attraction and selection, training and development, career appraisal and guidance.

 

The Company also operates a Trainees Program – since January 2011 with a group of 30 participants selected from a total of about 15 thousand applicants. The selection process for the group began in the third quarter of 2011 with the significant number of 19,065 enrolled candidates. During the quarter, the Interns Program was begun - designed for the formation of future young professionals. The team which will act through the Global Development Program was also selected. This is a project which focuses on the overseas market and is designed to hire qualified professionals who are able to bring their professional experience and knowledge to bear in the BRF’s chosen markets. After a period of training, development and familiarization with the Company, these professionals will be ready to assume leadership positions.

Begun in early 2011, the Company also conducted initiatives under the Attraction and Retention Plan for employees at the industrial plants. Among these initiatives were the standardization of positions and salary brackets and the implementation of an assiduity plan.

 

BRF Culture – The year 2011 was characterized by the development and consolidation of the new BRF Culture. On the approval of the merger between Perdigão and Sadia, one of the priorities for personnel management was to unify the best practices of each one of the merged companies in order to consolidate corporate values, principles and beliefs responsible for driving the new organization. The building of the new culture is a participative process and takes into account the transversal application of sustainability questions in management.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

An initial stage of the Culture Project was the Leadership Meeting in September 2011, when 600 executives from all locations were encouraged to reflect on the theme. All the managers, directors, vice presidents and the CEO took part, beginning a process which seeks to make the Company a benchmark in personnel management.

 

BRF 15’s international expansion and strategic planning entails additional challenges in the building of the new culture. In addition to preparing Brazilian in-house stakeholders for this change, the Company will have to have an understanding of external customs and integrate employees from different origins.

 

Even prior to the merger, BRF had developed a robust communication plan to keep employees abreast of developments in this process in a rapid and transparent manner during and after the approval by the Brazilian anti-trust authorities.

 

SSMA - BRF implemented its SSMA Project in 2008 for matters related to Health, Safety and Environment, initially contemplating the operational areas. Due to concern in expanding this practice – its focus being on safe behavior, the health of direct employees and outsourced workers and on sustainability – in October (2010), steps were taken to extend the project to all the areas, also benefiting the communities contiguous to company plants. In the quarter, the Company implemented the project’s initiatives at the corporate units. Numbers indicate that the expanded project has been highly successful. The accident frequency rate with time off work declined 35% in lower than a year (the accident frequency rate is the total number of accidents with time off work divided by a million man/hours worked pursuant to the NBR 14,280 standard).

 

The Company delivered 252 houses in 2011 under the Housing program operated by BRF for its employees.

 

Stock Option Plan Currently, the Company has granted R$ 3,911,236 (three million, nine hundred and eleven thousand, two hundred and third-six) stock options to 55 executives with a maximum vesting period of five years as established in the Compensation Plan Regulations approved by the AGM/EGM of 03/31/2010.

Sustainability                                                               

Sustainability for BRF is part of its strategy and is thoroughly integrated into its mission, vision and values. More than just preserving the environment or generating jobs, this understanding incorporates the notion that the Company must act in a differentiated manner, managing the daily routine and attitudes of the organization based on a series of guidelines, practices and actions with a view to achieving positive results pari passu with economic, environmental and social aspects.

 

In 2011, key stakeholders of the Company were invited to assess its evolution on the basis of the six pillars defined for sustainability, an indication that the Company is on the right track. Participants contributed to some important decisions for action, such as expanding the dissemination of the Company’s sustainability practices along its chain of suppliers. Another important achievement was BRF’s adherence to Level A compliance of the GRI – Global Reporting Initiative guidelines in the annual report on economic, financial, social and environmental information for the year 2011.

Management     Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

Association of BRF and Sadia – On 07/13/11, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense – CADE approved the Association between BRF and Sadia S.A., conditional on compliance with the provisions contained in the Performance Commitment Agreement -TCD, which was also signed on the same date.

 

The measures established in the TCD are limited to Brazil only and the markets and/or categories of products specified therein. The Company and Sadia are free to operate in the export market as a whole, the domestic dairy products market and the domestic food service business as long as they do not infringe TCD requirements and effectiveness. The documents with respect to this agreement are available in the website: www.brasilfoods.com/ri

 

On the basis of an analysis of the results announced in 2010, the sale of assets and brands agreed with CADE represent revenues of R$ 1.7 billion and equivalent to volumes of 456 thousand tons of in natura, elaborated and processed products as well as festive product lines and margarines. Suspended Perdigão and Sadia brand categories are equivalent to a further R$ 1.2 billion in sales revenues.

 

Agreement was also reached on the sale of the entire direct or indirect stake in the capital stock of Excelsior Alimentos S.A. by the wholly owned subsidiary of BRF to Sadia S.A., with the consequent transfer to the future purchaser of the entire tangible and intangible assets. The respective impacts of this divestment are also incorporated in the amounts mentioned in the preceding paragraph. 

 

The Perdigão brand as well as all the rights associated to it, remains the property of  BRF and is used normally in various processed food categories such as breaded items, hamburgers, bologna sausage, fresh sausage, frozen ready-to-eat meals (except lasagna), bacon, festive poultry-based products, in addition to the entire line of in natura products, among others. In 2010, the volume subject to TCD restrictions would have represented sales of about one third of all Perdigão branded products.

 

Expected Synergies – We estimate our net synergies before taxes and participations as a result of the BRF/Sadia merger, post-CADE approval, at about R$ 562 million in 2011. The Company aims to capture net synergies before taxes and participations of about R$ 1 billion per year for the period 2012 - 2013 after which these will stabilize around this amount. To achieve this result, BRF will require approximately R$ 700 million in investments for the period 2011 - 2013.

Expected synergies are in line with the survey conducted by the Company. However, realization of the synergies will be contingent on the success of the processes to be implemented in the areas of supplies (grains and other raw materials), manufactures, agriculture and logistics as well as the investments which will be needed to obtain these gains.

On December 8, 2011, the Company and Marfrig Alimentos S.A. (“Marfrig”)  disclosed to the market that they signed a binding document, Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which was confirmed with some amendment by the Asset Exchange and Other Agreements signed on March 20, 2012, as disclosed in note 38 – Subsequent Events,  establishing the main term and conditions aiming to the accomplish an exchange of assets comprising of the Company’s assets and rights related to the TCD with Marfrig or its subsidiary Quickfood’s including assets and rights as follows:

 

(1)   the entire equity interest held either directly or indirectly by Marfrig, equivalent to 90,05% of the capital of Quickfood, a company based in Argentina, which owns the rights of Paty  brand. Additionally, Marfrig is compelled to adopt all necessary actions to segregate and remove from Quickfood, all assets and liabilities related to beef activity that will remain under control of Marfrig, except the San Jorge cold storage, that property will be transferred to the BRF;

 

(2)   additional payment of an amount of R$350,000, of which R$100,000 will be paid between June and October 2012 and the remaining amount of R$250,000 will be paid in 72 monthly installments bears market interest rates; and

 

(3)   commercial operations related to the Paty brand in Uruguay and Chile.

 

Additionally, it was agreed that risks and benefits regarding to the BRF's pork manufacturing facility , located in the City of Carambeí, State of Paraná, will be transferred to Marfrig through a lease contract for a period of 3 years, renewable for more 1 year, with a call option for the amount of R$188,000.

 

Management's understanding of both companies is that the assets to be exchanged have equivalent values. Such understanding is subject to corroboration through an appraisal report at fair market value of the businesses which is currently being prepared. The transaction is subject to adjustments resulting from the legal, accounting, financial and operational due diligences, which are in progress and until the date of the issuance of these financial statements have not been finalized.

 

The signing of the definitive agreements and the actual implementation of the transaction are subject to precedent conditions, including the assessment of CADE, in the terms and limits placed on the TCD signed on July 13, 2011.

 

The Company did not reclassify the set of assets and liabilities to be disposed of as held for sale, because it concluded that on December 31, 2011, the current condition of these assets did not met the requirements of CPC 31, paragraph 7  “ the assets or group of assets held for sale must be immediately available in its current conditions…”. The Company’s conclusion is supported by the following factors:

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

(1)   in order to attend the requirements related to the disposal of productive capacity, which correspond to 730,000 tons, the Company prepared a plan comprising of refurbishments and adaptations necessary in these plants which demand an investment in the amount of R$78,528. Until December 31, 2011, only R$10,826 was effectively invested, hence showing that the plants were not immediately available for sale in the conditions determined by CADE;

 

(2)   in the MOU signed on December 8, 2011, and in the Asset Exchange and Other Agreements, Marfrig imposed other conditions that also require additional changes in the plants besides those mentioned in the item (1) above, denominated “precedent conditions”;

 

(3)   the buildings and lands related to the plants to be disposed of are pledged as guarantees;

 

(4)   as required by CADE, the plants in the scope of TCD must operate until the moment of ownership transfer; therefore, such plants will attend the sales orders of the products currently being manufactured, which are not part of the products portfolio to be sold to Marfrig according to TCD. Thus, the sales orders backlog will not be transferred to the Marfrig.

 

Due to the fact that the Company and the Marfrig have not concluded all appraisal reports of fair value assets until the date of the issuance of these financial statements and also because it has not identified other  impairment    factors, no adjustments have been recorded in these financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

On December 31, 2011, the book value of BRF’s assets to be exchange does not exceed their fair value.

2.             MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 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 financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and for presentation purposes, are identified as (“BR GAAP”). Such financial statement 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 financial statements are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as, the amount of other currencies disclosed in the financial statement, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands.

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements 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 of financial statement, see note 3.30. 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 different from those recorded in the financial statement due to the lack of precision inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis.

 

The individual and consolidated financial statements were 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;

·            assets and liabilities of acquired companies from January 1, 2009 recorded initially at fair value; and

 

·            share-based payments measured at fair value.

 

 

3.             SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

 

3.1.     Consolidation : includes the BRF’s financial statements and the financial statements of the directly and indirectly held subsidiaries where BRF has control. All transactions and balances between BRF and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation, as well as the unrealized profits or losses arising from negotiations between the Company and its subsidiaries, and the related charges and taxes. Non-controlling interest is presented separately.

 

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company applied CVM Deliberation No. 640/10, which approved the technical pronouncement CPC 02 (R2), addressing the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and Translation of Financial Statements. Pursuant to this Resolution, the Company must apply the following criteria for the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries:

 

·          Functional currency the financial statements of each subsidiary included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the currency of the main economic environment where it operates.  The foreign subsidiaries adopt the Brazilian Real as their functional currency, except for the subsidiary Plusfood Groep B.V. and Avex S.A. which adopt the Euro and the Argentine Peso, respectively, as their functional currency;

 

·          Investments investments in affiliates are accounted for under the equity method adjusted for the effects of measurement of the business combination, where applicable. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Brazilian Reais in accordance with their functional currency using the following criteria:

 

Functional currency – Euro/Argentine Peso

 

·       Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period;

 

·       Statement of income accounts are translated at the exchange rate obtained from the monthly average rate of each month; and

 

·       The cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity.

Functional currency – Brazilian Reais

 

·       Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;

 

·       Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate effective at the end of the period;

 

·       Statement of income accounts are translated at the exchange rate obtained from the monthly average rate of each month; and

 

·       The cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are directly recognized in the statement of income.

 

The accounting practices have been consistently applied in all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements and are consistent with the practices adopted by the parent company.

 

3.2.     Business combinations : business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is the sum of the consideration transferred, valued based on the fair value at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition must be accounted for as an expense when incurred.

 

When acquiring a business, Management evaluate the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in order to classify and allocate them pursuant to the terms of the agreement, economic circumstances and the conditions at the acquisition date.

 

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired (net assets identified and liabilities assumed). If the consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference should be recognized as a gain in the statement of income.

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill acquired in a business combination, as from the acquisition date, should be allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units expected to be benefit from the synergies of the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are attributed to these units.

3.3.     Segment information : an operating segment is a Company’s component that carries out business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses. The operating segments reflect how the Company’s management reviews financial information to make decisions and for which individual financial information is available. The Company’s management has identified 4 reportable segments, which meet the quantitative and qualitative disclosure parameters. The segments identified for disclosure represent mainly sales channels. The information according to the characteristics of the products is also presented, based on their nature, as follows: poultry, pork, beef, dairy products, processed, others processed and animal feed.

 

3.4.     Cash and cash equivalents: include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid investments in fixed-income funds and/or securities with maturities, upon acquisition, of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to immaterial risk of change in value.   The investments classified in this group, due to their nature, are measured at fair value through the statement of income.   

 

3.5.     Financial instruments: financial assets and liabilities are recorded on the date they are delivered to the Company (settlement date) and classified based on the purpose for which they were acquired, being divided into the following categories: financial investments, loans, receivables, derivatives and other.

 

3.5.1.   Financial investments are financial assets that comprise of public and private fixed-income securities, classified and recorded based on the purpose for which they were acquired, in accordance with the following categories:

 

·         Trading securities: acquired for sale or repurchase in the short term, initially recorded at fair value and its variations, with a corresponding entry directly recorded in the statement of income for the year within interest income or expense;

 

·            Held to maturity: when the Company has the intention and financial ability to hold them up to maturity, the investments are recorded at amortized cost, plus interest, monetary and exchange rate changes, when applicable, and recognized in the statement of income when incurred, within interest income or expense; and

  

·            Available for sale: this category is for all the financial assets that do not classify for any of the categories above, which are measured at fair value, with variations recorded in the shareholders’ equity within other comprehensive income while the asset is not realized, net of taxes. Interest, inflation adjustments and exchange rate changes, when applicable, are recognized in the statement of income when incurred within interest income or expense.

3.5.2.   Derivatives measured at fair value : derivatives that are actively traded on organized markets, and their fair value is determined based on the amounts quoted in the market at the balance sheet date. These financial instruments are designated at initial recognition, classified as other financial assets and/or liabilities, with a corresponding entry in the statement of income within ‘Finance income or costs’ or ‘Cash flow hedge’, which are recorded in equity net of taxes.

 

3.5.3.   Hedge transactions : derivatives used to hedge exposures to risks or change the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, highly probable transactions or net investments in transactions abroad, and which: (i) are highly correlated as regards changes in their fair value in relation to the fair value of the hedged item, both at inception and throughout the life of the contract (effectiveness from 80% to 125%); (ii) are supported by documents that identify the transaction, the hedged risk, the risk management process and the methodology used to assess effectiveness; and (iii) are considered as effective in the mitigation of the risk associated with the hedged exposure.  Their accounting follows CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, which allows the application of the hedge accounting methodology with the effects of measurement at fair value recognized in equity and their realization in the statement of income under a caption corresponding to the hedged item. 

 

3.5.4.    Loans and receivables : these are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments which are not quoted on an active market. Such assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost under the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses.

 

3.6.     Adjustment to present value : the Company and its subsidiaries measure the adjustment to present value of outstanding balances of other non-current rights, trade payables, social obligations and other non-current obligations. The Company adopts the weighted average of the cost of funding on the domestic and foreign markets to determine the adjustment to present value to the assets and liabilities previously mentioned, which corresponds to 6.66% p.a. (6.33% p.a. as of December 31, 2010).

 

3.7.     Trade receivables and other receivables : are recorded at the invoiced amount and adjusted to present value, when applicable, net of estimated losses on doubtful receivables.

 The Company adopts procedures and analyses to establish credit limits and substantially does not require collateral from customers. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which includes direct contact with customers and collection through third parties. Should these efforts not prove successful, court measures are considered and the notes are reclassified to non-current at the same time receivables is written-off. The notes are written off against the provision when Management considers that they are not recoverable after all appropriate measures to collect.

 

3.8.     Inventories : are stated at average cost, not exceeding market value or net realizable value.  The cost of finished products includes raw materials, labor, cost of production, transport and storage, all of which are related to making the products ready for sale. Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production cost of the respective month, whereas unusual losses, if any, are recorded directly as an expense for the year in other operating income.

 

3.9.     Biological assets : due to the fact that the Company is responsible for managing the biological transformation of poultry, pork and beef, pursuant to CVM Deliberation No. 596/09, the Company classified these assets as biological assets.

 

The Company recognizes biological assets when it controls these assets as a result of a past event and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these assets will flow to the Company and fair value can be reliably estimated.

 

Pursuant to CVM Deliberation No. 596/09, the biological assets should be measured at fair value less selling expenses at the time they are initially recognized and at the end of each accrual period, except for cases in which fair value cannot be reliably estimated.

 

In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by formation cost, mainly due to the short life cycle of the animals and the fact that a significant share of the profits from our products arises from the manufacturing process rather than from obtaining in natura meat (raw materials at slaughtering point). This opinion is supported by a fair value appraisal report prepared by an independent expert, which presented an immaterial difference between the two methodologies. As a consequence, Management continued to record biological assets at cost.

 

3.10. Non-current assets held for sale: assets included in this subgroup are those identified as unusable by the Company and whose sale has been authorized by Management; accordingly, there is a firm commitment to find a purchaser and conclude the sale within 12 months, the assets are readily available at a reasonable price and it is unlikely there will be changes in the plan to sale. These assets are measured at carrying amount or fair value, whichever is lower, net of selling costs and are not depreciated or amortized.

3.11. Property, plant and equipment : stated at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, when applicable. The costs of short term debt are recorded as an integral part of construction in progress, pursuant to CVM Deliberation No. 672/11 considering the average interest rate of the short term debt in effect on the capitalized date.

 

Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated.

 

The CVM Resolution No. 639/10 requires that a recovery evaluation of these assets should be done, whenever there is evidence of loss in comparison with the net realizable value, either by sale or use. The Company annually performs an analysis of impairment indicators. If an impairment indicator is identified , the corresponding assets are tested for impairment using the discounted cash flow methodology. Hence, when an impairment is identified, a provision is recorded. The investments in property, plant and equipments were tested for impairment in the last quarter of 2011, and no adjustments were detected. The result of this test is detailed in note 17.

   

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the sales value with the residual book value and recognized in the statement of income.

 

3.12. Intangible assets : are identifiable nonphysical assets, under the Company’s control and which generate future economic benefits.

 

Intangible assets acquired are measured at cost at the time they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination corresponds to the fair value at acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable. Internally-generated intangible assets, excluding development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is recognized in the statement of income for the year in which it was incurred.

 

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as finite or indefinite.

 

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economic useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication of a reduction in the economic value of the asset. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income as an expense consistently with the use of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment on an individual basis or at the cash generating unit level. The Company records in intangible assets the goodwill balance.

 

Goodwill recoverability was tested in the last quarter of 2011 and no adjustments to reflect an impairment loss were identified.   Such test involved the adoption of assumptions and judgments, as detailed in note 18.

 

3.13. Income taxes and social contributions: in Brazil, are comprised of income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution (“CSLL”), which are calculated monthly on taxable income, at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax for IRPJ and of 9% for CSLL, considering the offset of tax loss carryforwards, up to the limit of 30% of taxable income.

 

The income from foreign subsidiaries is subject to taxation in their home countries, pursuant to the local tax rates and standards.

 

Deferred taxes represent credits and debits on IRPJ and CSLL tax losses, as well as temporary differences between the tax basis and the carrying amount. Deferred income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities are classified as non-current, as required by CVM Deliberation No. 676/11. When the Company’s analysis indicates that the future use of these credits, within the time limit of 10 years, is not probable, a provision for losses will be recorded.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. In the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s tax assets and liabilities can be offset against the tax assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries if, and only if, these entities have a legally enforceable right  to make or receive a single net payment and intend to make or receive this net payment, or recover the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously; therefore, for presentation purposes, the balances of tax assets and tax liabilities are being disclosed separately.

3.15. Provision for tax, civil and labor risks and contingent liabilities : provisions are established when the Company has a present obligation, formalized or not, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

 

The Company is a party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings. The assessment of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in these lawsuits and proceedings includes the analysis of the evidence available, the hierarchy of the laws, available former court decisions, as well as the most recent court decisions and their importance to the Brazilian legal system, as well as the opinion of external legal counsel. The provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the circumstances, such as the applicable statute of limitation, conclusions of tax inspections or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.

 

A contingent liability recognized in a business combination is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of:

 

·          the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above (CVM Deliberation No. 594/09); or

 

·          the amount initially recognized less, if appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policy (CVM Deliberation No. 597/09).

 

As a result of the business combination with Sadia, the Company recognized contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor matters.

 

Costs incurred with disposal of assets are accrued based on the present value of the costs expected to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows, and are recognized as an integral part of the corresponding asset, or as a production cost, when incurred.

 

3.16. Leases : lease transactions in which the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred to the Company are classified as finance leases. When there is no significant transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership, lease transactions are classified as operating leases.

 

Finance lease agreements are recognized in property, plant and equipment and in liabilities at the lower of the present value of the minimum mandatory installments of the agreement and the fair value of the asset, including, when applicable, the initial direct costs incurred in the transaction. The amounts recorded in property, plant and equipment are depreciated and the underlying interest is recorded in the statement of income in accordance with the term of the lease agreement.

Operating lease agreements are recognized as expenses throughout the lease period.

 

3.17. Share based payments: the Company provides share based payments for its executives, which are settled with Company shares.

The contributions made by the sponsors are recognized as an expense for the year.

 

The plan assets are not the disposal of the Company’s creditors and cannot be directly paid to the Company. Fair value is based on information on the market price and, in the case of quoted securities, on the purchase price disclosed. The value of any defined benefit asset recognized is restricted to the sum of any past service costs not yet recognized and the fair value of any economic benefit available in the form of reductions in the plan’s future employer contributions.

 

3.19. Capital : corresponds to the value obtained in the issuance of common shares. Additional costs directly attributable to issue of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, after any tax effects.

 

3.20. Treasury shares: when the capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of compensation paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognized as a deduction from equity. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the value received is recognized as an increase in shareholders' equity and surplus or deficit arising is recorded to retained earnings.

 

3.21. Earnings per share: basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

4.             FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

4.1.        Overview 

 

In the regular course of its business, the Company is exposed to market risks related mainly to the fluctuation of interest rates, variation of foreign exchange rates and changes in the commodities prices.

 

The Company utilizes hedging instruments to mitigate its exposure to these risks, based on a Risk Policy under the management of the Financial Risk Management Committee, Board of Executive Officers and Board of Directors. Such policy includes the monitoring of the levels of exposure to each market risk and its measurement is performed based on the accounting exposure and forecast of future cash flows. The policy establishes limits for the decision making and adoption of hedging instruments with the purposes of:

 

(i)     protecting from the exposure to fluctuation of interest rates;

 

(ii)    protecting from the exposure to variation of foreign exchange rates on debt and cash flow; and

 

(iii)   protecting from the exposure to changes in the commodities prices.

 

The Board of Directors plays a crucial role in the financial risk management structure as responsible for approving the Risk Policy. Moreover, the Board of Directors defines the limits of tolerance of the different risks identified as acceptable for the Company on behalf of its shareholders.

 

The Board of Directors is in charge of the evaluation of the Company’s positioning for each identified risk, according to the guidelines enacted by the Board of Directors as well as for approving:

 

(i)      the action plans defined for aligning the risks within the defined limits of tolerance;

 

(ii)     the performance indicators to be used in risk management;

 

(iii)   the overall limits; and

 

(iv)   the evaluation of improvements to the Risk Policy.

 

The Financial Risk Management Committee is in charge of the execution of the Risk Policy, which comprises the supervision of the risk management process, planning and verification of the impacts of the decisions implemented, as well as the evaluation and approval of hedging alternatives and monitoring the exposure levels to risks in order to ensure the compliance of the Policy.

 

79

 


 

DFP – Standard Financial Statements – December     31, 2011 – BRF – BRASIL FOODS S.A.

 

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

The Risk Management area has as primary task the monitoring, evaluation and reporting of financial risk taken by the Company, and among these are:

 

(i)         an ongoing review of the scope of Risk Policy, ensuring that hedging instruments utilized are within the limits of tolerance established by the Policy;

 

(ii)        the preparation of reports;

 

(iii)      the evaluation and presentation of alternatives to mitigate risks; and

 

(iv)      the modeling and assessment of exposure to risks.

 

The tasks mentioned above are performed in order to highlight and give acknowledgement to Management on the magnitude of the risks and the related hedging instruments utilized presenting the potential impacts.

 

The Risk Policy defines the strategies to be adopted, and Management contracts hedging instruments that are approved within the delegation of authority levels. The Board of Directors, Board of Executive Officers and Financial Risk Committee have different levels of  authority where each one acts within the limits pre-established in this Policy.

 

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

 

The inclusion and updating of transactions are recorded in the Company’s operating systems, with proper segregation of duties, being validated by the back-office and daily monitored by the Risk Management area.

 

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

 

As permitted by CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company applies hedge accounting rules to its derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedge, in accordance with  its Risk Policy. The cash flow hedge consists of hedging the exposure to variations of the cash flow that:

 

(i)         is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability;

 

80

 


 

DFP – Standard Financial Statements – December     31, 2011 – BRF – BRASIL FOODS S.A.

 

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

 

(ii)        a highly probable predicted transaction; and

 

(iii)      could affect profit and loss.

 

The Policy has also the purpose of determining parameters of use of financial instruments, including derivatives, which are designed to protect the operating and financial assets and liabilities, which are exposed to the variations of foreign exchange rates,  the fluctuation of the interest rates and changes to the commodities prices. The Risk Management area is responsible for ensuring compliance to the requirements established by the Company’s Risk Policy.

 

4.2.        Interest rate risk management  

 

The risk of interest rates is that one which the Company may suffer economic losses, arising from changes in these rates, which can be caused by factors related to economic crises or changes in monetary policy on domestic and foreign markets. This exhibition refers primarily to changes in market interest rates, that affect assets and liabilities of the companies, indexed to the London Interbank Offered rate ("LIBOR"), Term Interest Rate ("TJLP"). Currency of the Bank National Economic and Social Development ("UMBNDES") or Interbank Deposit ("CDI")  Certificate, and any transactions with pre-established positions in some of the indices mentioned above, which can lead to losses unrealized or realized through the calculation of fair market value (mark to market).

  

The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to different interest rates, neither establishes limits for fixed or floating rates.

 

The Company continually monitors the market interest rates, in order to evaluate any potential need to enter in hedging contracts to protect from the exposure to fluctuation of such rates. These transactions are basically characterized by contracts that exchange floating rate for fixed rate. Such transactions were designated by the Company as cash flow hedge.

 

The Company seeks a stable correlation between its current and non-current term indebtedness, maintaining a higher portion in the non-current term.

 

The Company’s indebtedness is essentially tied to the LIBOR , fixed coupon (“R$ and USD”), TJLP and UMBNDES rates. In case 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 also applicable to the TJLP and UMBNDES.   

 

With regards to the Company's marketable securities, the main index is the CDI for investments in the domestic market and fixed coupon (“USD”) for investments in the foreign market. If CDI increases, impacts become favorable, while if CDI decreases, results become unfavorable.

In August 2011, the Monetary Policy Committee ("COPOM") initiated a cycle of monetary policy easing by reducing the basic interest rate from 12.5% p.a. to 11.0% p.a. in December 2011. Thus, interest income derived from investments subject to the CDI variations were reduced. Moreover, there is the maintenance of the expectation of low international interest rates. With LIBOR at historically low levels, there was a positive impact on financial costs linked to this indicator .  

 

Regarding the exposure to fluctuation of interest rates, the results obtained for the year ended December 31, 2011, met the established objectives.

 

4.3.        Foreign exchange risk management  

 

Foreign exchange risk is the one related to variations of foreign exchange rates that may cause the Company to incur unexpected losses, leading to a reduction of the assets or an increase of the amounts of liabilities.

 

The main exposures to which the Company is subject, as regards foreign exchange rates variations, refer to the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar (“US$” or “USD”) and also of the Euro (“EUR”) and the British Pound (“GBP”) in relation to the Brazilian Real.

 

The objective of the Company’s Risk Policy is the protection from excessive exposure to the risks of foreign exchange variations by balancing its assets not denominated in Brazilian Reais against its obligations not denominated in Brazilian Reais, thus protecting the Company’s balance sheet, through the use of over-the-counter transactions (“swap”) and transactions on the futures exchange.

In order to conduct an active management and as required by the Risk Policy, the Company performs daily monitoring, through reports issued by the Risk Management area, on cash flow needs and foreign exchange exposure.

4.4.3.     Options 

 

The Company designates only the variation in the intrinsic value of its options as a hedge instrument (hedge accounting), recognizing the time value of the premium in the financial result. If the hedge is not effective and the option is not exercised due to devaluation of the Real, the losses related to the options will be registered in the financial result.

 

The Company has designated as hedge accounting transactions involving options denominated collar where there is a purchase of a put option ("PUT") and a sale of a call option ("CALL").

 

When the quotation of any of the options is not available in an active market, the fair value will be based on an option pricing model (Black-Scholes or Binomial).

4.4.4.    Exports pre-payments - PPEs

 

As authorized by CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company utilizes the exchange rates variation of export pre-payments contracts (“PPEs”) as a hedge instrument in order to mitigate the risk of the variation of exchange rate resulting from the highly probable future sales in foreign currency.

 

In order to test the effectiveness of this hedge category, the Company established a comparison between the exchange rate variation arising from the PPE agreement (variation of the fair value of the hedging instrument) and the variation of the fair value of highly probable future export revenues (Spot-to-Spot rate method).

 

The position of the PPEs designated as hedge accounting is set forth below:

4.6.        Determination of the fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company discloses its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, based on the pertinent accounting pronouncements, which refers to concepts of valuation and practices, and requires certain disclosures on the fair value.

 

Particularly related to the disclosure, the Company applies the hierarchy requirements set out in CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, which involves the following aspects:

 

·   The fair value is the price that an asset could be exchanged, a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in a transaction without favoritism; and

DFP – Standard Financial Statements – December     31, 2011 – BRF – BRASIL FOODS S.A.

 

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

·   Hierarchy on 3 levels for measurement of the fair value, according to observable inputs for the valuation of an asset or liability on the date of its measurement.

 

The valuation established on 3 levels of hierarchy for measurement of the fair value is based on observable and non-observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while non-observable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of input create the hierarchy of fair value presented below:

 

·    Level 1 - Prices quoted for identical instruments in active markets;

 

·    Level 2 - Prices quoted in active markets for similar instruments, prices quoted for identical or similar instruments in non-active markets and evaluation models for which inputs are observable; and

 

·    Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are non-observable

 

Management concluded that balances of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are close to their fair value recognition due to the short-term cycle of these operations.

 

The book value of financing and loans in the financial statements is close to the fair value due to the major portion of the total gross debt bears interest based on the variation of TJLP,  LIBOR and CDI, except the capital markets transactions (Bond). On December 31, 2011, the fair value adjustment for Bond (“BRFSBZ”) is represented by a negative impact of R$186,703.

 

4.6.1.    Comparison between book value and fair value of financial instruments

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

Presented below is the description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company for financial instruments measured at fair value:

 

·         The investments in financial assets in the categories of Brazilian foreign debt securities, National Treasury Certificates (“CTN”), Financial Treasury Notes (“LFT”), financial investment funds and shares are classified at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market prices are available in an active market;

 

·         The investments in financial assets in the categories of Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and the repurchase agreements backed by debentures are classified at Level 2, since the determination of fair value is based on the price quotation of similar financial instruments in non-active markets; and

 

·         The derivatives are valued through existing pricing models widely accepted by financial market and described in appendix 3 of the Risk Policy. Readily observable market inputs are used, such as interest rate forecasts, volatility factors and foreign currency rates. These instruments are classified at Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, including swaps, NDFs and options.

 

4.7.        Credit management

 

The Company is potentially subject to the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, financial investments and derivative contracts. The Company limits its risk associated with these financial instruments, allocating them to financial institutions selected by the criteria of rating and percentage of maximum concentration by counterparties.

 

The credit risk concentration of accounts receivable is minimized due to the diversification of the customer portfolio and concession of credit to customers with good financial and operational conditions. The Company does not normally require collateral for credit sales, yet it has a contracted credit insurance policy for specific markets.

 

On December 31, 2011, the Company had financial investments over R$10.000 at the following financial institutions: Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú, Unibanco, Deutsche Bank, Banco Bradesco, Credit Suisse, Banco Votorantim, Citigroup, Santander, Erste Bank, BTG Pactual, Banco do Nordeste, Caixa Econômica Federal and JP Morgan.

 

The Company also held derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Banco Santander, Citibank, HSBC, Credit Suisse, Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú, Rabobank, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Banco Votorantim, Banco Bradesco, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Standard Bank, Goldman Sachs, Barclays Bank, ING Bank and Banco Safra.

4.8.        Liquidity risk management

 

Liquidity risk management aims to reduce the impacts caused by events which may affect the Company’s cash flow performance.

 

The Company has identified market risk factors which are associated to future cash flow that may jeopardize its liquidity and calculates the Cash Flow at Risk (“CFAR”) on a twelve-month basis aiming to verify potential cash flow forecast deviations. The Company determined that the minimum value of its cash availability should consider mainly the average monthly revenue and EBITDA for the last twelve-month period.

 

Derivatives transactions may demand payments of periodic adjustments. Currently, the Company holds only BM&F operations with daily adjustments. In order to control the adjustments, the Company utilizes Value at Risk methodology (“VaR”), which statistically measures potential maximum adjustments to be paid in a 1 to 21-day interval.

 

The allocation of financial investments among counterparts is conservative and seek the liquidity and profitability of these assets avoiding concentration.

 

The Company maintains its leverage levels in a manner to not jeopardize the ability to honor commitments  and obligations. As a guideline, the majority of the debt should be in long term. On December 31, 2011, the long term debt portion accounted for 58% of the total outstanding debt with an average term greater than 3.5 years.

4.9.        Commodity price risk management

 

In the regular course of its operations, the Company purchases commodities, mainly corn, soymeal and live hog, which are some of the individual components of production cost.

 

Corn and soymeal prices are subject to volatility resulting from weather conditions, crop yield, transportation and storage costs, government’s agricultural policy, foreign exchange rates and the prices of these commodities on the international market, among others factors. The prices of hog acquired from third parties are subject to market conditions and are influenced by internal availability and levels of demand in the international market, and other aspects.

 

The Risk Policy establishes limits for hedging the corn and soymeal purchase flow, aiming to reduce the impact resulting from a price increase of these raw materials, and may utilize derivative instruments or inventory management for this purpose. Currently, the Management of inventory levels is used as a hedging instrument.

 

During the 2011 fiscal year, the Company utilized derivative instruments to mitigate the exposure to live cattle prices variation. The derivative instruments are entered into to protect the following transactions:

 

(i)         forward purchase of cattle,

 

(ii)        contracting of own cattle confinement,

 

(iii)      contracting of cattle confinement with partnership, and

(iv)      spot purchase of cattle aiming to guarantee the off-season scale of slaughtering.

 

The contracts are recorded at their fair value in the statement of income, regardless of the contract expiration date.

 

On December 31, 2011, the Company held a short position in the BM&F of 150 future contracts (137 contracts as of December 31, 2010) with maturity dates between January and October 2012. In the counter market, the Company held a short position of 50 contracts with maturity dates in 2012. Additionally, through the utilization of options, the Company also held a short position of 600 allotments (700 allotments as of December 31, 2010) (note 4.3.2).

 

4.10.     Table of sensitivity analysis

 

The Company has financing and loans and receivables denominated in foreign currency and in order to mitigate the risks resulting from exchange rate exposure it contracts and derivative financial instruments.

 

The Company understands that the current interest rate fluctuations do not significantly affect its financial results since it opted to change to fixed rate a considerable part of its floating interest rates debts by using derivative transactions (interest rates swaps). The Company designates such derivatives as hedge accounting and, therefore, the effectiveness is monitored through prospective and retrospective tests.

 

In the table depicted below, five scenarios are considered for the next twelve-month period, considering the variations of the quotations of the 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 one adopted by the Company. The total of export sales analyzed corresponds to the total of derivative financial instruments increased by the amortization flow of PPEs designated as hedge accounting.

The additions presented in the provision for inventory losses are mainly related to the decrease in the foreign market sales price of chicken griller which occurred from July to August, 2011. From September, 2011 there was a recovery in the sales price hence the provision was reversed.

11.          BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

The group of biological assets of the Company comprises living animals which are segregated by the categories: poultry, pork and cattle. In addition, these categories were separated into consumable and for production.

 

The animals classified in the subgroup of consumables are those intended for slaughtering to produce unprocessed meat and/or manufactured and processed products, and while they do not reach the weight adequate for slaughtering, they are classified as immature. The slaughter and production process occurs sequentially and in a very short time period, and as a consequence, only the living animals transferred for slaughtering in refrigerators are classified as mature.

  

The animals classified in the subgroup for production (breeding stock) are those that have the function of producing other biological assets. And, while they do not reach the age of reproduction they are classified as immature and when they are able to initiate the reproductive cycle, they are classified as mature.

 

In the measurement of the biological assets at fair value, the Company adopted the model of discounted cash flow. Firstly, the discount rate used was the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”), which was then adjusted to reflect the specific risk of the asset in question, utilizing mathematical model of Weighted Average Return on Assets (“WARA”), as follows:

 

 

  12.31.11   12.31.10  
Cost of nominal owners' equity   10.31   11.10  
Projected inflation rate USA   2.26   1.85  
Cost of actual owners' equity   7.88   9.08  
Actual WACC   5.80   6.93  
WARA discount rate:      

Animals for slaughtering  

5.50   6.00  

Animals for production  

5.75   6.90

Explanatory Notes

In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by the cost of formation, mainly due to the short life cycle of the animals and to the fact that a significant portion of the profitability of our products derives from the manufacturing process and not from obtaining in natura meat (raw materials at slaughtering point). This opinion is supported by a fair value appraisal report prepared by an independent expert, which presented an immaterial difference between the two methodologies. Therefore, Management maintained the biological assets at formation cost.

The costs of the breeding animals are depreciated using the straight-line method for a period from 15 to 30 months.

 

The acquisitions of biological assets for production (non-current) occur when there is an expectation that the production plan cannot be met with its own assets and, usually, this acquisition refers to immature animals in the beginning of the life cycle.

 

The acquisitions of biological assets for slaughtering (poultry and pork) are represented by poultry of one day old and pork of up to 22 kilos, which are subject to the management of a substantial part of the agricultural activity by the Company.

 

The increase by reproduction of the biological assets classified in the current assets is related to eggs from animals for production.

12.1       Value-added Tax

 

Due to its export activity, domestic sales and investments in property, plant and equipment are subject to reduced tax rates and, the Company accumulates credits that are offset with debits generated in sales in the domestic market or transferred to third parties.

 

The Company has ICMS credit in the States of Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais and Distrito Federal, for which Management understands that realization is uncertain and, therefore, formed full provision for loss of these credits as shown in the table above.

 

The increase in the balance is related to the exports from the States of Parana and Santa Catarina and are presented net of the related allowances judged necessary by the Company’s Management.

12.2       Income tax and social contribution

 

These correspond to withholdings at source on financial investments, prepayments of income tax and social contribution, and on the reception of interest on shareholders’ equity by the parent company, realizable through offsetting with federal taxes and contributions payable.

 

12.3       PIS and COFINS

 

Recoverable taxes derived from Contribution to the Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Contribution for Funding of Social Welfare Programs (“COFINS”) basically are originated from credits on purchases of raw materials used in the production of exported products or in the production of products which sales are taxed at the zero rate, such as UHT and pasteurized milk as well as sales to the Manaus Free Zone. The recovery of these receivables can be achieved by means of offsetting with domestic sale operations of taxed products, with other federal taxes or compensation claims.

 

For the accumulated PIS and COFINS credits, the Company adopts the procedure of legal action aiming to accelerate the analysis process of applications for refund of these contributions already filed, which are under supervision for the release of new amounts.

 

Management is analyzing alternatives that would allow the utilization of the credits in the operations and there is no expectation of losses in their recovery.

 

The Law No. 12,350/10 introduced significant changes in the taxation of PIS and COFINS in the productive chain of poultry and pork products with retroactive application of its provisions from January 1, 2011. As a consequence, the Company recognized a credit in cost of sales in the amount of R$41,333 in the parent company and R$90,186 in the consolidated during 2011.

Empreendimentos e Participações Imobiliárias, held on November 8, 2010.

  

The sales value was R$120,000, of which R$12,000 was received in cash. The remaining amount of R$108,000, will be received in 35 consecutive monthly installments of R$3,086, updated by the National Index of Consumer Prices ("INPC"), which receipt will start in March 2012. The book value of the property on the disposal date was R$45,514. This disposal generated a net gain of R$49,406 recognized in other operating income.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

The decision to merge Sadia into BRF will result in the recognition of a loss for 2011 of approximately R$215,205 on the allowance for tax loss carryforwards, which will not be recovered after the merger. The value of the loss reflects Management's best estimate at the date of the publication of these financial statements, considering the available conditions. The final value of the impact of the merger of Sadia into BRF will be known on December 31, 2012.

 

Management has prepared a sensitivity analysis considering variations in the discount rate used in the above estimate, the results are presented below:

 

 
  Long-Term Interest Rate - "TJLP"
  5% p.a.   6% p.a.   7% p.a.  
Estimated value   212,315   215,205   218,042  
Changes   (2,890)   -   2,837  
 

 

14.2.        Estimated time of realization

 

Management considers that deferred tax assets related to temporary differences will be realized as the lawsuits are resolved. The deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences of employee benefits will be realized at the payment of the projected obligations.

 

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

 

 

  BR GAAP   BR GAAP and IFRS  
  Parent company   Consolidated  
Year   Value   Value  
2012   -   304,412  
2013   32,620   33,475

2020-2021   14,496   15,956  
  533,586   846,912  

 

When 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.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax-planning strategies when performing 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 is considered realizable, however, could be impacted in the short term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

Deferred income taxes benefit from foreign subsidiaries   492   773  

 

The Company determined that the total profit accounted for by holdings of their wholly-owned subsidiary will not be redistributed. Such resources will be used for investments in the subsidiaries, and thus no deferred income taxes were recognized. The total of undistributed earnings corresponds to R$2,057,655 as of December 31, 2011 (R$1,144,538 as of December 31, 2010).

 

The Brazilian income taxes are subject to review for a 5-year 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.

DFP – Standard Financial Statements – December     31, 2011 – BRF – BRASIL FOODS S.A.

 

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

On September 28, 2011, the wholly-owned subsidiary Crossban Holdings GmbH, acquired from Agricola Nova S.A. the total of 1,133,820 quotes which correspond to 40% of the capital of Sadia Chile S.A. (non-controlling shareholders’ interest), for the total amount of R$16,801, originating goodwill of R$12,224, which in the consolidated financial statements was recorded as a capital reserve since it did not result in a change of control of the investment.

The Company performed an analysis of impairment indicators of the property,  plant and equipment during the last quarter of 2011 and identified the need to execute an impairment test for certain manufacturing facilities mainly those affected by the CADE’s decision of suspending the future sales of specific products under the Perdigão’s brand. Hence, the discounted cash flows were prepared, and as a result of the analysis,  no provision was deemed necessary by Management.

Amortizations of outgrowers loyalty and relationship with suppliers are recognized as a cost of sales in the statement of income, while software amortization is recorded according to its use, where the alternatives are cost of sales, administrative or sales expenses.

 

Trademarks in intangible assets derive from the business combination with Sadia and are considered assets with indefinite useful life as they are expected to contribute toward the Company’s cash flows indefinitely.

 

The goodwill presented above is based on expected future profitability supported by valuation reports, after allocation of identified  assets in use.

 

The value of goodwill and the value of intangible assets with indefinite useful life (trademarks and patents) allocated by cash-generating unit, are presented in note 5.

 

The Company performed the impairment tests of assets based on the fair value, that was determined by a discounted cash flow model, in accordance with the level of goodwill and intangible allocations to the  group of cash generating units.

 

Discounted cash flows were prepared based on the multi-annual budget (2012-2016) of the Company and growth projections up to 2021 (9.3% per annum up to 18.2% per annum), which in turn, are based on historical experiences and market projections of government agencies and associations, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), the Brazilian Pork Industry and exporter (“ABIPECS”), the Brazilian Pullet Producer Association (“APINCO”) and others. In the opinion of Management, the use of periods that exceed those quoted (5 years) in the preparation of discounted cash flows is adequate, as it reflects the estimated time of use of the groups of assets.

SELIC   10.70%   9.50%   9.50%   8.90%   8.90%   8.90%   8.90%  

 

The rates presented above do not consider any tax effect (pre-tax).

 

Based on Management analyses performed during the fourth quarter of 2011, no adjustments for reduction in the balances of the assets to recoverable value were identified.

 

In addition to the above mentioned recovery analysis, Management drew up a sensitivity analysis considering the variations in the EBITDA margin and in the nominal WACC as presented below:

 

  Variation
Apreciation (Depreciation)   3.0%   1.5%   0%   -1.5%   -3.0%  
WACC   15.2%   13.7%   12.2%   10.7%   9.2%  
EBITDA margin   15.6%   14.1%   12.6%   11.1%   9.6%  

 

In none of the scenarios above considered, the Company determined the need to recognized an impairment provision to the intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

23.   SHARE BASED PAYMENT

 

On March 31, 2010, the shareholders approved the stock option plan for officers of the Company and of its subsidiaries, consisting of two instruments: (i) stock option plan, granted annually to the beneficiary and (ii) additional stock option plan, optional for the beneficiary, who may adhere with part of their profit-sharing money. The basis of the vesting conditions will be the attainment of effective results and valuation of the Company’s business.

 

The plan includes shares issued by the Company up to the limit of 2% of the total stock, and its purpose is to: (i) attract, retain and motivate the beneficiaries, (ii) add value for shareholders, and (iii) encourage the view of entrepreneur of the business.

 

The plan is managed by the Board of Directors, within the limits established in the general guidelines of the plan and in the applicable legislation, which are disclosed in detail in the Company’s “Reference Form”.

 

The strike price of the options is determined by the Board of Directors and is equivalent to the average amount of the closing price of the share at the last twenty trading sessions of the BM&FBOVESPA, prior to the grant date, updated monthly by the variation of the Amplified Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) between the grant date and the month prior to the remittance of the option exercise notice by the beneficiary.

 

The vesting period during which the participant cannot exercise the purchase of the shares ranges from 1 to 3 years and will observe the following deadlines from the grant date of the option:

 

  • up to 1/3 of the total options may be exercised after one year;
  • up to 2/3 of the total options may be exercised after two years; and
  • all the options may be exercised after three years.

 

After the vesting period and within no more than five years from the grant date, the beneficiary will lose the right to the unexercised options.

 

To satisfy the exercise of the options, the Company may issue new shares or use shares held in treasury.

 

The breakdown of the outstanding granted options is presented as follow:

24.1.     Supplementary retirement plan

 

24.1.1. BFPP 

 

Brasil Foods Previdência Privada (“BFPP”), previously denominated as Perdigão Sociedade de Previdência Privada (“PSPP”) was created in April 1997, sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries. 

 

The purpose of BFPP is the management of supplementary plans of benefits of retirement for the employees of the sponsors. BFPP manages three retirement plans. Plan I and Plan II which is closed to new adhesions, and Plan III, which has been in operation since October 1, 2011.

 

The plan III was created as result of the association between Sadia and BRF in order to meet the employees who were not participating in any of the previous plan.

 

In plans I, II and III, the contributions are made on a 1 to 1 basis (the contributions of the sponsor are equal to the basic contributions of the participants), and the actuarial calculations are made by independent actuaries, on a yearly basis, according to the rules in force. 

 

Should the participant end the employment relationship with the sponsor, the balance formed by the contributions of the sponsor not used for the payment of benefits, will form a fund of overage of contributions that may be used to compensate the future contributions of the sponsor. The asset presented in the balance of the fund of reversion amounts to R$5,379 (R$4,102 as of December 31, 2010) and was recorded as other current assets.

 

Although the plans offered by BFPP are basically of defined contribution, there is a small portion of defined benefits, as presented in the schedule above. The demographic data of the plan are presented below:

24.1.2.    FAF 

 

The subsidiary Sadia sponsors a plan of social-security benefits, in the modality of defined benefit, intended for its employees and administered by Attilio Francisco Xavier Fontana Foundation (“FAF”).

 

The benefit of supplementary retirement is defined as the difference between (i) the benefit salary (updated average of the last 12 updated salaries of participation, capped at 80% of the last participation salary) and (ii) the value of the retirement paid by the official social-security regime. The benefit of supplementation is adjusted on a yearly basis at the INPC.

 

The actuarial regime adopted is that of capitalization for supplementation of retirements and pensions and simple sharing for the supplementations of sick pay.  The contribution of Sadia is made through a percentage that applies to the payroll of the active participants, according to the cost plan prepared on yearly basis by independent actuaries and approved by the Deliberative Council of FAF.

 

According to the bylaws of the FAF, the sponsoring company is severally liable for the obligations contracted by the entity with its participants and dependents.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

As from January 1, 2003, the wholly-owned subsidiary Sadia started to offer a benefit plan in the modality of defined contribution managed by an open-ended entity of supplementary social security, for all the employees admitted by Sadia and its subsidiaries.  The funding of the plan is proportional in relation to the basic monthly contribution (mandatory), whose portion of the subsidiary is equal to that made by the employee according to a scale of contribution based on salary ranges, which vary from 1.5% to 6% of the respective remuneration, in accordance with the ceiling of contribution that is updated every year.  

 

The contributions made by Sadia in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, amounted to R$2,800 (R$2,583 as of December 31, 2010), on that date the plan had 1,376 participants (1,501 participants as of December 31, 2010).

 

As demonstrated in the schedules above, the plans of BFPP and of FAF had assets in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, however, an asset could only be acknowledged if it is clearly evidenced that such asset could actually reduce the contributions of the sponsor or that it will be reimbursable in the future, based on the actuarial reports of these same year, the Company could not benefit from the surplus of the plans, therefore the assets were not acknowledged in the financial statements. 

 

The demographic data of the plan is presented below:

Additionally, the Company’s Management judged proper to disclose information related to the lawsuit in which it was included as co-responsible in a debt from Huaine Participações Ltda (former holding of Perdigão). In this lawsuit it is being discussed the inclusion of the Company in the liability from the tax execution in the amount of R$572,188. On February 16, 2012, the Company received a favorable decision from the Superior Court, in which it determined the matter to be judged again by the lower court. The Company’s legal advisors classified the risk of losses as remote.

 

25.2.2. Civil lawsuits

 

As of December 31, 2011, the wholly-owned subsidiary Sadia has other civil contingencies in the amount of R$ 129,805  (R$ 70,640  as of December 31, 2010).

 

The subsidiary Sadia and some of its current and former executives were named as defendants in five class actions suits arising from investors of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) issued by Sadia and acquired in the period from April 30, 2008 to September 26, 2008 (Class Period). These claims were filed in the Southern District of New York federal court in the United States of America, seeking remediation in accordance with U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from losses on foreign exchange derivative contracts entered during the Class Period. By order of the U.S. court, the five class actions suits were consolidated into a single case (Class Action) on behalf of the Sadia’s investors group. During the second semester of 2011, the Company reached a final agreement with the plaintiffs homologated by the U.S. judicial authority and as a consequence settled the case with a payment of US$27,000. The Company’s previously recorded a provision superior to the amount of the settlement, therefore, a reversal in the amount of R$118,684 was recorded in the other operating income. The Company understands that the likelihood of having new lawsuits related to this Class Action is remote.

Approval of Sadia S.A.’s business combination

 

As mentioned in note 1.2, on July 13, 2011, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("CADE") approved the business combination between the Company and Sadia S.A., and revoked the Agreement to Preserve Reversibility and Operation ("APRO ") signed on July 8, 2009. This approval is subject to compliance with the obligations assumed by the Company with the CADE in the Term Performance Commitment ("TCD") entered into on the same date. On March 20, 2012, the Company signed the Contract of Exchange of Assets and Other Agreements with Marfrig Alimentos S.A., whose main objective is to establish the terms and conditions enabling the transaction to occur as mentioned in notes 1.2 and 38, which is subject to suspension conditions depending on the CADE manifestation. Our conclusion does not contain any qualification relating to this matter.

 

Other matters

 

Statements of added value

 

We also examined the individual and consolidated statements of added value, which are the responsibility of Company’s management, for the year ended December 31, 2011, for which the disclosure is required by Brazilian corporation laws applicable to publicly-held companies and is an additional information for IFRS, which does not require this disclosure. These statements were submitted to the same audit procedures previously described and, in our opinion, are fairly presented in all its material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as whole.
