Results 3Q12

Dear Shareholders

In the third quarter of 2012, we concluded one of the most relevant stages of the merger, initiated by BRF in May 2009, with the fulfillment of the agreement signed with the Brazilian anti-trust authorities (CADE) in June 2011.

As expected the Management, the impact of an adverse sectoral scenario combined with the merger transition process were factors that reflected in higher transitory costs, causing a temporary shortfall in efficiency at our operations and consequently, negatively impacting our result for the period.

Notwithstanding this environment, we should emphasize the good results reported for revenues which rose 14.3% compared with 3Q11, reaching R$ 7.2 billion in the quarter, a growth of 5.1% when compared with 2Q12. This achievement can be attributed to the Company strategy focused on innovation through portfolio expansion, new product lines, repositioning of the Sadia brand and the expansion in brand mix: Perdigão, Batavo, Elegê, Qualy, among others. A total of 115 products was launched in the quarter to support this strategy, representing 283 new choices for the consumer for the year to date.

The net income for the quarter has already seen an important gain in relation to 2Q12 of R$ 84.5 million reaching R$ 90.9 million of net income , equivalent to 1.3% of net margin. The EBITDA result reached R$ 565 million, representing 7.9% of net sales.

In our business segments, we have seen good domestic market growth with a 7.4% increase in sales revenue despite the transfer of assets and the discontinuation of certain brands in specific categories that could have resulted in significant reductions in volume during the quarter. This potential impact was compensated by the successful execution of the Company’s chosen strategy for recovery of revenue.

Meanwhile, the international operations reported growth of 26% in exports with the improvement in performance in business with the Middle East and the incorporation of the Quickfood businesses in Argentina, absorbed following the asset swap in the domestic market. The dairy segment registered an increase of 4.8%, especially driven by an increase sales of refrigerated products while the food service segment rose 8%, reflecting better demand and higher in-natura sales.

In October, Management announced the signature of a binding offer to acquire Federal Foods Limited, with head offices in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), through BRF’s subsidiary in Austria. The acquired company holds the leadership in food distribution in the region catering to a full spectrum of retail, food service and wholesale clients . The investment for the acquisition is worth US$ 36 million and will give the Company a 49% stake in Federal Foods.

The challenging environment which we have experienced this year is fading away and we see opportunities for improving our margins as from the final quarter of 2012. During the course of 3Q12, we initiated price adjustments to recover margins which had been squeezed by rising sector costs. We also expect a good demand for traditional year-end products.

With the complete implementation of the agreement signed with CADE (the Performance Commitment Agreement – TCD process), BRF is to embark on a new phase in its business. At this point, we could not fail to extend a special vote of thanks to all our shareholders, investors, suppliers, clients and other stakeholders for their support and the confidence entrusted in us during this challenging period involving the various stages of the merger process. More especially we would like to place on record our thanks to our executives and staff who were tireless in successfully conducting the entire process. This capacity to overcome adversity and to seek out new opportunities is at the core of our corporate culture and is what will continue making BRF a very unique company.

3 ^rd QUARTER 2012 – 3Q12

Net sales totaled R$ 7.2 billion, a growth of 14.3% in relation to 3Q11, revenues being generated from the following business segments: domestic market (7.4%); exports (26.0%); dairy products (4.8%) and food service (8.0%), these results reflecting the efforts taken to offset the impact of the TCD process.

The businesses involving meats, dairy products, other processed products and remaining sales represented 1.6 million tons, a 4.3% increase, this despite sales of assets and the discontinuation of certain categories in line with the agreement with CADE.

Gross profit totaled R$ 1.5 billion, a 5.0% decrease due to the pressure of recurring costs during the quarter.

EBITDA reached R$ 565.1 million, 21.8% less than 3Q11 due to the squeeze on margins still being experienced in the markets, the result of a combination of spiking costs, a gradual improvement in export business and the impact of asset transfers and discontinuation of certain product categories.

Net income was R$ 90.8 million against R$ 365.0 million recorded in 3Q11 but already indicating a positive evolution of R$ 84.5 million in relation to 2Q12.

Financial trading volume in BRF’s shares reported an average of US$ 75.5 million/day in the quarter, 15.9% more than 3Q11.

Accumulated 2012 – 9M12 (January to September)

Net sales amounted to R$ 20.4 billion, a growth of 9.5%, reflecting good performance in sales for BRF’s chosen business segments.

The meats, dairy products and other products businesses and other sales recorded volumes of 4.7 million tons, a 3.8% increase.

Gross profits totaled R$ 4.4 billion, 7.5% lower due to the pressure on raw material costs and the CADE process-related costs - not fully covered by higher sales revenue. However, price adjustments have been made in order to recovery margins to be effective as from the fourth quarter 2012.

EBITDA reached R$ 1.7 billion, 28.5% less than the for 9M11, representing an EBITDA margin of 8.2%.

Net income was R$ 250.5 million against a net income of R$ 1,246.4 million for 9M11– a 79.9% reduction with a net margin of 1.2% against 6.7% by virtue of the pressures resulting from operating performance and accumulated financial expenses.

Financial trading volume in BRF’s shares reached an average of US$ 76 million/day for the year , 16% lower than 3Q11.

Brazilian Exports

Beef and pork export volumes recorded a significant recovery in 3Q12 versus 2Q12 and 3Q11. The increase in revenues (measured in US$) in the compared periods was also notable with the exception of a decline in revenues from beef exports in 3Q12 versus 2Q12. However, chicken meat shipments in volume and revenue terms in 3Q12 (measured in US$) posted a decrease in 3Q12 versus 2Q12 and 3Q11.

Chicken meat exports reached 935 thousand tons in 3Q12, 7.7% below 2Q12 and 3.5% lower than 3Q11. Quarterly revenue (measured in US$) was 7.0% down on 2Q12 and 1.7% less than 3Q11. Volumes to Africa continue to report the fastest growth for the accumulated period for the year (+34.0% Jan-Sep/12 vs Jan-Sep/11), in addition to some Asian countries such as China (+25.0% on the same comparative basis). On the other hand, shipments to the Middle East registered a decline for the year to date of 4.8% (Jan-Sep/12 vs Jan-Sep/11), as did Saudi Arabia (-3.4% on the same comparative basis). The decline in export volume to Venezuela and Argentina during the year also negatively impacted chicken meat shipments to the Americas for the accumulated nine month period 2012 (-24.3% in Jan-Sep/12 vs Jan-Sep/11).

Pork shipment volumes reached 159 thousand tons in 3Q12, a 9.9% increase over 2Q12 and 29.2% more than 3Q11. Revenue (measured in US$) for the quarter represented an increase of 7.6% compared with 2Q12 and 21.4% versus 3Q11. The Ukraine continues to be the leading importer for the year, replacing Russia, which still reports a decrease of 16.3% for the accumulated total Jan-Sep/12 vs Jan-Sep/11. Volumes for this year to Angola and Singapore continue to exceed 2011 levels while it still remains for Argentina to show signs of a recovery (fall of 43.3% for the accumulated period Jan-Sep/12 vs Jan-Sep/11).

Overseas beef sales continue to turn in good results in terms of export volume, reaching 339 thousand tons in 3Q12, 1.1% more than 2Q12 and 24.1% above 3Q11. However, quarterly revenue (as measured in US$) fell by 5.4% versus 2Q12, in spite of a 10.7% increase compared with 3Q11. Greater export volume during the quarter was principally due to the recovery in such markets as Iran (from 5.4 thousand tons in 2Q12 to 37.8 thousand tons in 3Q12) and Egypt (from 28.4 thousand tons in 2Q12 to 46.6 thousand tons in 3Q12).

Raw Material

US corn prices rose in 3Q12 by 26.3% in relation to 2Q12 and were a further 12.4% higher than 3Q11 set against a scenario of the worst drought in the United States for the last 15 years – representing a loss of nearly 100 million tons of production in relation to the preceding year (-13.4%). Since in the past few years, the United States has accounted for about 65% of world corn exports, importing countries were obliged to seek alternative sources to guarantee supplies, importing corn from Brazil, the Ukraine and Argentina. As a result, in line with trends in international markets, in 3Q12 Brazilian corn prices were 26.5% on average higher than in 2Q12 and 12.1% up on 3Q11. Corn exports should amount to 17.5 million tons in 2012 (a record). In these circumstances, BRF took the initiative to anticipate purchases and optimize inventory management to ensure competitively priced supplies.

In the case of soybeans, the impact of the drought in the US has been less dramatic given that the development cycle of the crop is different from corn. In the USA, soybean meal prices in 3Q12 were 24.3% higher than 2Q12 and 45.6% higher than 3Q11, since the production of soybeans in the United States reported a decline compared with 2011 (-7.5%) at a time when inventory remains low in Brazil and Argentina (in the middle of offseason period). In spite of lower growth than previous years, Chinese demand for soybeans remains strong, thus giving support to current price levels in the international market. In Brazil, soybean meal prices in 3Q12 rose 38.0% as compared with 2Q12 and 104.1% in relation to 3Q11, reflecting the fragile supply situation for soybeans in the country where output fell 11.9% but exports declined only 5.3% in relation to 2011. BRF has been proactive in these circumstances by signing long-term agreements with suppliers, thus attenuating the negative impact of the price hike of the commodity on the meats production chain.

Investments

Investments in Capex during the quarter amounted to R$ 419 million, a 83.7% increase over the same quarter for 2011 and allocated to projects involving growth (188% higher), efficiency (31% down) and support (125% increase), besides R$ 121.2 million directed to biological assets (28% less than in 2011). Additionally, we incorporated the acquisition of Quickfoods in Argentina, an asset arising out of a swap for assets in the domestic market (TCD process).

For the nine-month period, investments totaled R$ 1.7 billion, taking into account investment in maintenance, expansion and acquisitions, representing a growth of 82% in relation to the same period in 2011 when investments were constrained as the Company awaited the decision from CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) in order to proceed with the implementation of the Long-Term Strategic Plan – BRF 15 based on organic growth and growth by acquisition.

Investments - R$ million

New Businesses – Federal Foods – On October 4, 2012, BRF announced that it had signed a binding offer to acquire a 49% stake in Federal Foods Limited, with head offices in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), through BRF’s subsidiary in Austria. The remaining shareholding stake in Federal Foods will be held by Al Nowais Investments, the current controlling company of Federal Foods. Established in 1991, Federal Foods is a leading food company in the United Arab Emirates, catering to a full spectrum of retail, food service and wholesale clients. The company operates 6 branches in the UAE and 1 in Qatar with over 1,350 employees and a logistics fleet of more than 260 trucks and vans for the delivery of chilled and frozen products.

In 2011, Federal Foods reported net sales of US$ 266 million and 92 thousand tons of commercialized products. The company has been a distributor of Sadia products in the UAE for more than 20 years. In addition, it distributes a range of chilled, frozen and dry products pertaining to other brands and suppliers. Currently, BRF products account for about 65% of Federal Foods’ net sales. BRF reiterates its intention to continue the partnerships built up over time between Federal Foods and current suppliers. BRF is to commercialize its portfolio of products in the UAE through Federal Foods, including the Sadia and Perdix brands as well as the portfolio of processed products to be produced by the plant which is to start operations in 2013.

This acquisition is in line with BRF’s strategic plan to internationalize the Company by accessing local markets, strengthening BRF’s brands and distribution and expanding its product portfolio in the Middle East. The investment in this acquisition will amount to US$ 36 million in exchange for a 49% equity stake in Federal Foods. BRF will have management control as established in the shareholders’ agreement and will consolidate the acquired company’s financial statements. The conclusion of this transaction is contingent on the successful completion of the due diligence process.

JV Carbery – BRF and Group Carbery announced a formation of a 50/50 whey processing joint venture. The $50 million investment will use Carbery’s innovative technology to process whey generated at BRF’s cheese manufacturing facilities. The venture is aligned with BRF´s strategic objective to be a leading player in the Brazilian cheese market.

The joint venture will house a state of the art manufacturing plant to produce added value nutritional ingredients sourced from whey, a byproduct from cheese manufacturing. These ingredients are utilized by leading consumer brands in baby food and sports nutrition, among others uses. The construction of the processing facility is planned to commence immediately and it will be commissioned in 2014.

Production

A total of 1.4 million tons of food was produced in 3Q12, a volume 3.2% less than reported in 3Q11 due to the reduction of volumes transferred under the TCD process involving meats and other processed products and by the reduction in dry line (UHT milk) volumes. In the dairy product segment, BRF is focusing on growing the refrigerated products business.

Quickfoods production in Argentina was incorporated into total meat volume output in the quarter.

In 2012, 283 new products were launched with a focus on portfolio expansion, on brand and category repositioning and the creation of value. In the third quarter, we launched 115 new products, which: Food Service - 18; domestic market – 51; exports – 31; and 15 in the dairy product segment.

Domestic Market

Sales to the domestic market were R$ 3.1 billion, a 7.4% increase 1.2% but with lower volumes and average prices 8.7% higher. Average costs rose 13.2%, reflecting an operating profit of R$ 183.9 million in this segment, a 35.7% decline with operating margins oscillating from 9.9% to 6.0% in the quarter.

Operating results in the domestic market continued to be squeezed by the increase in costs in relation to the preceding year (prices of the leading raw materials and grains) as well as other direct inputs, to some extent offset by the partial passing on of cost rises to prices during the quarter. There was also an increase in commercial costs and expenses – principally a reflection of the TCD process: 1) revision of lines

and production transfers; 2) loss of volume transferred to Marfrig; 3) partial suspension of some categories; 4) increase in product mix; 5) increase in the transitional logistics network; 6) investments in product innovation.

For the accumulated nine months, sales revenue amounted to R$ 9.0 billion, a 8.3% increase. However, the increase in revenue was proportionally insufficient to entirely offset cost and expense pressures. Volumes practically remained unchanged in spite of the TCD process, implemented in the quarter and cutting output volume by 175 thousand tons. Average prices and costs were 8.7% and 16.3% higher, respectively, translating into a 22.1% lower operational result. As a result, the operational margin for the domestic market segment fell from 10.0% to 7.2%

To support the recovery of growth in this market following the full implementation of the TCD process, 51 new products were launched in the domestic market in the quarter: Sadia: Mini-Pizza ( Brotinho ); Whole-wheat Lasagna; Smoked Chicken Sausage; Beef Cuts; Perdigão: re-launch of Claybon margarine; Rump Steak, Turkey and Soy hamburger, breaded chicken; diced chicken.

Exports

In 2012, hog and poultry farming faced a challenging trading environment due to oversupply in some importing countries, aggravated by the high cost of grains together with drought conditions in the USA, combined with less than favorable harvest conditions in South America, Russia and Australia, all of which impacted the food sector globally.

In spite of the complex scenario, the situation prompted an increase in international prices across the board to the benefit of overseas business in 3Q12. In the quarter, exports amounted to 628.3 thousand tons, 11.7% higher in volume terms in relation to 3Q11. Average prices have already seen a recovery, rising 12.8% and 10.7% when compared with 2Q12. This is not only due to result of increasing production costs and consequently the need to recuperate margins but also a reflection of the running down of inventories in the Middle East and Eurasia markets. The average cost was 21.3% higher – still at very high levels, once more at 0.8% squeezing operating margins resulting in a fall of 4.6 percentage points in operating margins compared with 3Q11. The operating result was R$ 24.5 million, a 81.5% reduction.

Thus, in spite of the innumerous difficulties during the year, the outlook is now more promising. In some markets variations in seasonal demand favor price increases as is the case with China where preparations are already afoot for the Chinese New Year. In other regions such as Europe the approach of winter represents an historically more constrained period in terms of price adjustments, although the worldwide increase in production costs has tended to allow the re-composition of prices – a situation which has already begun in various countries.

The Company reported the following scenario for its principal markets during the quarter:

Middle East – While volumes were 12.1% higher in 3Q11, export revenue recorded an increase of 46.5%. Indeed, the market has managed to recover from the aftermath of the Arab Spring. The good performance also reflects the strategy of increasing the penetration of the Sadia brand in the Middle East. The announcement of the acquisition of an equity stake of 49% in the capital stock of Federal Foods in Abu Dhabi, will bring fresh vigor to the Company’s distribution business in the UAE.

Far East – Just as in the case of the preceding quarter, the decline in exports to Hong Kong continued to be mitigated by the increase in exports to China, reflecting a strategy of capturing better returns from the operation. Export volume was 15.5% higher than in 3Q11. Export revenues accompanied this trend in volume and rose by 10.7%. The prospects for business activity in the region are sustained by the approaching Chinese New Year celebrations – a period representing a seasonal peak in terms of both volume and also prices – as well as the liberation on the part of the Chinese authorities of new pork and poultry processing units for exports to the Chinese market. Locally held inventory in the Japanese market continues to place a drag on recovery in performance for this region.

Europe – The economic crisis in Europe brought difficulties to the market throughout the year, although the need for a global increase in prices has already impacted the region as well. While there was a higher of 5.4% in volume compared with 3Q11, revenues remained stable. Another factor contributing to the region’s performance is the focus on local production of higher value-added items (Plusfood).

Eurasia – Despite the Russian trade ban on the large majority of Brazilian plants, the market has been showing a good performance with a 100.6% growth in revenue, albeit against 86.3% higher volumes. The Company has been refocusing its presence to other consumer markets. The Ukraine has been reaching the levels of one of the largest pork importers.

South America – The end of the trade barriers on pork exports to Argentina and the consequent recovery in shipments has brought very positive results for the market. Additionally, business with Argentina has gained in relative importance in the region with the incorporation of the activities of Quickfoods, revenue having grown by 47.5% although volumes increased 32.4%.

Africa and other countries - In Africa, the Company reported good business with the growth in revenue despite a decline in export volume, the result of the strategy of enhancing the portfolio in the region. A highlight was the Libyan market in which the prices of whole chicken matched levels practiced in some regions of the Middle East. An expected highlight for this year-end is the recovery in chicken breast exports to South Africa. On the other hand, the Venezuelan market remained close. As a result total volumes for Africa and other countries declined 26.6% as did revenue by 17.6%.

Exports by Region

Dairy Products – Dairy product revenue totaled R$ 692.3 million, an increase of 4.8% with volumes up by 2.7% with average prices improving by 2.1% while average costs were 4.0 higher. Operating margins recovered year-on-year from a fall of 3.2% to 0.5% compared with 3Q11 although operating results for the business remained negative at R$ 3.7 million, principally a reflection of dry line products – UHT milk.

For the accumulated period, revenue from dairy products reached R$ 2.0 billion – 5.6% over the preceding year, with volumes 1.0% up and average prices and costs higher by 4.6% and 4.5%, respectively. Consequently, the operating result was a negative R$ 1.8 million against R$ 10.9 million in 9M11.

New product launches and enhancement of the refrigerated products mix continue to be a priority as a means of ramping up the segment’s results. The Company launched 15 new products in the quarter.

Food service – Revenues for this segment reported R$ 354.0 million in the quarter – 8.0% higher, on 2.6% greater volume, an improvement of 5.3% in average prices against 10.5% higher average costs, thus reducing the operating margin from 17.7% to 7.7%, the operating result totaling R$ 27.4 million against R$ 57.9 million (52.7% down).

Accumulated nine-month revenue rose 9.2% to R$ 1.0 billion, on 5.7% higher volume, reaching an operating margin of 9.3% against 14.7% in 9M11 and an operating result of R$ 98.2 million – 31.2% down on 9M11.

Weaker operating results from food service continue to reflect the diversion of in-natura products from the export market, thus altering the sales mix, as well as one-off deceleration in the segment, the result of greater competition for Brazilian disposable household incomes.

The Company launched 18 products in the food service line: Subway Salami; Breaded Products; Platform pork ribs; 9 special KFC cuts – Chile; Dobon Beef; Sweet Milk; KFC Canada and England filet steaks. Sadia and Perdigão Kits – Collections 2012 (3Q12).

Net Sales – BRF reported net operating sales of R$ 7.2 billion in the quarter, an increase of 14.3%, the result of organic growth, the incorporation of Quickfood, Argentina and an expanded portfolio thanks to innovation with the launch of various products and categories designed to cushion the impact of asset transfers in the quarter in line with the agreement with CADE (TCD).

For the first nine month of the year, revenues increased 9.5%, reaching R$ 20.4 billion, representing the production and commercial teams efforts to overcome the adversities, in addition to complex factors as: the adverse international scenario and a reduction in volume of assets (plants and distribution) transferred to third parties under the TCD process as well as the discontinuation of specific categories of the Perdigão and Batavo brands as announced in a material fact.

Breakdown of Net Sales 3Q12(%)

Cost of Sales – Cost of sales rose 20.9% in relation to 3Q11, recording R$ 5.7 billion. The cost of sales reported an increase proportionally greater than sales revenue, squeezing margins during the quarter. The principal impacts on costs of products sold were: 1) the significant increase in the cost of the principal raw materials – corn and soybeans due to failure of the American grain crop; 2) industry-wide readjustments as a result of collective wage bargaining; 3) an increase in items restated against the foreign exchange rate such as: packaging, freight, vitamins; 4) temporary spike in production costs due to the breakup of certain parts of the Company with the implementation of the TCD process.

For the first nine months of the year, selling costs were R$ 16.0 billion, registering an increase of 15.2%, reflecting the higher costs of the leading raw materials and other production costs. In addition to cost pressure on raw materials, we are incurring transitory costs (plants running below maximum capacity and lower productivity) from the implementation of the TCD.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin – Gross Profit amounted to R$ 1.5 billion, a 5.0% reduction in the quarter with a gross margin 4.3 percentage points lower than reported for 3Q11, declining from 25.5% to 21.2%. In spite of the positive commercial performance in sales, margins remained under pressure from rising costs. For the accumulated nine-month period, Gross Profit reached R$ 4.4 billion, a fall of 7.5%, equivalent to a gross margin of 21.4% against 25.3%, also squeezed by higher production costs, albeit mitigated by the gradual recovery in performance reported by the principal markets for the Company’s operations.

Operating Expenses – Thanks to its efforts to reduce overall expenses, BRF was able to reduce operating expenses by 0.7 percentage points in the quarter from 17.3% to 16.6% of net operating sales, reporting a nominal increase below the gain in sales revenue.

Commercial expenses as a percentage of net sales remained stable, although there was a growth of 31.4% in variable expenses due to: 1) investments in the development of new lines and products (innovation), product launches and marketing campaigns; 2) increase of operations in the logistics chain, also significantly impacted by the TCD process (transfer of assets and repositioning of the portfolio and distribution channels); 3) port and transportation employee strikes at the beginning of the quarter.

Administrative expenses and fees fell 20.9% due to the simplification of BRF’s administrative intra-group structure and the lower disbursements in consultancy fees in the quarter (In 3Q11, significant payments were made to consultancies advising the Company on negotiations with CADE for approving the merger).

In 9M12, operating expenses totaled R$ 3.4 billion with an increase of 12.2%, notably impacted by selling expenses which increased 14.8% and mitigated by administrative expenses which fell 10.1% for the aforementioned reasons and also reflected in the quarter’s results.

Other Operating Expenses – The increase of 61.7% covers costs with the pre-operational phase of the new industrial units, insurance claims, provisions for tax risks and results of divestments under the TCD in other operating expenses as well as revenues from the reversal of provisions, recovery of expenses and leasing with third parties. In line with IFRS regulations, expenses with profit sharing are also booked under this item.

For the first nine months of 2012, there was a 0.4% decline in this item due to gains in third party leasing, with the leasing of the Carambei-PR facility to Marfrig. The key factor in this item is the result of the divestment of assets under the TCD process (R$

30.3 million in 3Q11 and R$ 104.4 million for the year to date) due to the non-cash effect and corresponding to the value of the evaluation of the asset sales in relation to their book value.

Operating Result before Financial Expenses and Operating Margin – In the light of the above explanations, the operating result before net financial expenses reached R$ 232.1 million in the quarter –49% down in relation to 3Q11 from an operating margin of 3.2% net sales against 7.2%. The 4.0 percentage point decrease is due to a combination of adverse factors during the quarter: inflated local inventory in the Japanese market; pressure on variable commercial costs and expenses; and extraordinary expenses due to the transitory process of transferring assets in accordance with the provisions of the TCD.

These factors, associated with the gradual recovery in exports and the loss of revenue from divested assets (TCD) also explains the operating result against financial expenses reported in the accumulated period of R$ 780.7 million, 47.7% below the result reported in the same period of 2011, with a squeeze of 4.2 percentage points on the reported operating margin.

Financial Result – Net financial expenses amounted to R$ 117.2 million in the quarter, registering a fall of 37.2%, that is, a gain of R$ 69.3 million when compared to 3Q11, which reported non-cash effects of currency variation on liabilities.

In 9M12, net financial expenses totaled R$ 479.7 million, a 63.1% increase, especially due to higher debt levels as a result of the currency effect and the need to allocate cash to support investments in Capex and working capital , due to reduced cash generation in the period.

Financial expenses due to exchange variation were 12% of net financial expenses during the quarter and 37% in 9M12, although this is not reflected in any cash disbursement.

Exchange Rate Exposure - US$ Million			(519)	(471)	-

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), financial derivatives (for example: NDF) and non-derivative financial instruments (for example: foreign currency debt) are used 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 a 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.

On September 30, 2012, the non-financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting for foreign exchange cover amounted to USD 631.4 million, and a proportional reduction in book currency exposure 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 1,312 million + EUR 199 million + GBP 61.9 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.

The Company’s net debt was R$ 7.1 billion, 32% more than reported for December 31, 2011, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio (last twelve months) of 2.76 times with a book currency exposure of US$ 519 million.

Net Debt – R$ million

Income Tax and Social Contribution – Income tax and social contribution totaled a negative R$ 26.1 million in the quarter against a positive R$ 87.7 million in 3Q11 due

to differences in tax rates on earnings of foreign subsidiaries and the foreign exchange translation effect on overseas investment. This increase is a combination of a higher tax base and smaller adjustments for other taxes which compensate the tax benefits accruing to payments of interest on shareholders’ equity.

For the full nine months, income tax and social contribution represented a negative R$ 48.2 million against a positive R$ 43.4 million in the same period of the previous year due to the differences in tax rates on results for the overseas subsidiaries and the foreign exchange translation effect on overseas investment .

Participation of non-controlling shareholders – The result of R$ 2.1 million against R$ 8.9 million in 3Q11 recorded for this item reflects the consolidation of results of the subsidiaries acquired in Argentina through Avex and as from 3Q12, the incorporation of the results of Quickfoods added to the results of the Al Wafi and Plusfood subsidiaries among others.

Net Income and Net Margin – In the light of the foregoing, BRF reported net income of R$ 90.9 million in the quarter, equivalent to a net margin of 1.3%, a year-on-year reduction of 75.1% due to narrower margins in the quarter, in turn a reflection of production costs which rose proportionally faster than sales revenue. For the accumulated period for the year, the Company was able to report a net income of R$ 250.5 million, 79.9% down on the same period 2011 with net margin at 1.2% compared with 6.7% and reflecting

weaker performance posted for the principal business segments and financial expenses impacted by currency variation.

EBITDA – EBITDA (operating cash generation) reached R$ 565.2 million, a 21.8% decline, recording an EBITDA margin of 7.9% against 11.5% in 3Q11, down by 3.6 percentage points. In 9M12, accumulated EBITDA was R$ 1.7 billion, 28.5% below the same item for 9M11, with an EBITDA margin of 8.2% against 12.5% reported for the same period in 2011, for reasons already explained above.

The Company’s individual quarterly financial information are 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 IFRS.

The Company’s individual and consolidated quarterly financial information are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as the amount of other currencies disclosed in the financial statement, when applicable, are also expressed in thousands.

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 are significantly different from those recorded in the quarterly financial information due to the lack of precision inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis.

Thus, from the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company started to recognize the income tax expense based on the best estimate of the annual weighted effective tax rate for the fiscal period December 31, 2012, as disclosed in note 14.

The book value of financing and loans in the quarterly financial information approximate the fair value as 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 September 30, 2012, the consolidated fair value adjustment for Bond ("BRFSBZ") is represented by a negative impact of R$492,482, being R$69,802 attributable to the Sadia Bonds ("BRFSBZ6"), R$289,361 attributable to the BFF Notes ("BRFSBZ7") and R$133,319 attributable to the BRF Notes ("BRFSBZ5").

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

On September 30, 2012, the Company held a short position in the BM&F of 3,067 future contracts (150 contracts as of December 31, 2011) with maturity dates between October and January 2013.

In the counter market, the Company held a short position of 25 contracts with maturity dates in 2012. Additionally, through the utilization of options, the Company also held a short position of 788 allotments (600 allotments as of December 31, 2011), as described in note 4.1.2.

4.8. 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 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 portion of its floating interest rates debts by using derivative financial instruments (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 the one adopted by the Company. The total of export sales analyzed corresponds to the total of derivative financial instruments, which is increased by the amortization flow of PPEs designated as hedge accounting.

	1,408,900	1,166,150	3,435,568	2,679,211

The increase in the balance of finished goods is mainly related to the following factors: (i) R$186,000 due to the lower volume of sales compared to the production plan of in-natura products in the domestic market, that will be recovered in a subsequent period; (ii) R$121,000 related to the strategic increase of the level of the inventories to attend the recovery of the demand in the foreign market, expected to occur as from September 2012; (iii) R$81,000 related to the festive items; and (iv) R$56,000 due to the business combination with Quickfood.

The write-offs of products sold from inventories to cost of sales during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, totaled R$ 8,694,674 at the parent company and R$ 16,013,183 in the consolidated (on September 30, 2011, R$7,401,192 at the parent company and R$13,894,972 in the consolidated). Such amounts include the additions and reversals of inventory provisions presented in the table below:

⁽¹⁾ Business combination with Quickfood (note 6).

The additions presented in the provision for inventory losses are mainly related to the decrease in the foreign market sales price of griller and the domestic market of whole poultry in-natura which occurred during the first semester. The reversals recorded during the quarter are related to the decrease in the critical inventory of griller chicken and to the recovery of the foreign market sales price as from the second semester of 2012.

Additionally, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, there were write-offs of inventories in the amount of R$ 22,257 at the parent company and R$ 33,063 in the consolidated (on September 30, 2011, R$19,622 at the parent company and R$38,209 in the consolidated), referring to deteriorated items, which have been charged to the statement of income.

Management expects inventories to be recovered in a period of less than 12 months.

On September 30, 2012, R$39,999 (R$67,079 as of December 31, 2011) of the balance of inventories of the parent company and consolidated was pledged as collateral for rural credit operations.

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.

In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by the cost of breeding, 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.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, Management did not identify any event that could impact the business model or the assumptions utilized in the analysis performed as of December 31, 2011, and considering this, did not update the independent appraisal report that supports the accounting practice adopted by the Company.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company in Brazil have tax loss carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution of R$34,885 and R$34,769, respectively, (R$31,650 and R$31,470 on December 31, 2011), for which the Company have not recorded a related deferred tax asset. If there was any expectation that such tax credits would be realized the amount to be recognized in the balance would be R$11,851 (R$10,745 as of December 31, 2011).

As disclosed to the market on February 9, 2012, the Company´s Board of Directors approved the merger of the wholly-owned subsidiary Sadia with BRF, which will be implemented on December 31, 2012. The main purpose of this merge is to maximize synergies and to rationalize activities, with consequent reductions in administrative (A FREE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

and operating costs and increasing in productivity.

The decision to merge Sadia into BRF resulted in the recognition of a loss in fiscal year 2011 of R$215,205 on the valuation allowance for tax loss carryforwards, which will not be recovered after the merger. The value of the loss reflects Management's best estimate at September 30, 2012, considering the available information. The final value of the impact of the merger of Sadia into BRF will be known on December 31, 2012.

As per the requirements of paragraph 28 of CVM Deliberation No. 673/11, during the year the Company started to disclose the income tax expense based on the best estimate of the annual weighted effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. As a consequence, the income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was adjusted by a credit in the amount of R$46,655 at the parent company and R$37,357 in the consolidated, as disclosed in note 14.3.

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:

	755,455	1,032,018

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 (A FREE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

differences are deductible.

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.

I NDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON REVIEW OF QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The Shareholders and Officers

BRF - Brasil Foods S.A.

Itajaí - SC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF - Brasil Foods S.A. (“Company”), contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which comprise the balance sheet as at September 30, 2012 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months periods then ended, and changes in equity and cash flow for the nine-month period then ended, including other explanatory information.

Management is responsible for the preparation of individual interim financial information in accordance with Accounting Pronouncement CPC 21 - Demonstração Intermediária (“CPC 21”) and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 and International Accounting Standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of this information in a manner consistent with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR).

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade) and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe (A FREE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

These statements have been subject to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they are not prepared, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with the overall individual and consolidated interim financial information.
