1.2.Carne Fraca Operation

BRF's Statutory Audit Committee has initiated an investigation with respect to the allegations involving BRF employees in the Carne Fraca Operation and it involved outside counsel. The investigation is substantially concluded.

The Company revisited food quality and safety processes and reinforced our internal control and compliance.

1.3.Trapaça Operation

On March 5, 2018, the Company learned of a decision issued by a federal judge of the 1^st Federal Court of Ponta Grossa/PR, authorizing the search and seizure of information and documents from us and certain current and former employees, and the temporary detention of eleven individuals, who have already been released.  Current or former employees of BRF were identified for questioning.  Based on the judge’s decision authorizing the temporary detention and the search and seizure, the main allegations at this stage involve alleged misconduct relating to quality violations, improper use of feed components, and falsification of tests at certain BRF manufacturing plants and accredited labs.

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)   ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2018 – BRF S.A.   Explanatory Notes (in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

The Company is cooperating with authorities and initiated an internal investigation with respect to the allegations. BRF’s Statutory Audit Committee has initiated an investigation with respect to the alleged misconduct involving BRF employees in the Trapaça Operation and it involved outside counsel. The investigation is still at its early stages and at this point the results obtained have not indicated necessary adjustments in BRF’s financial statements.

As a result of the Trapaça Operation, on March 5, 2018, BRF received notice from Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (“MAPA”) that it immediately suspended exports from its Rio Verde/GO, Carambeí/PR and Mineiros/GO plants to 12 (twelve) countries that require specific sanitary requirements for the control of the bacteria group Salmonella spp and Salmonella pullorum. On March 15, 2018, MAPA suspended exports from 9 (nine) other BRF plants to the European Union, but revoked the temporary suspension on April 18, 2018. Although to date, the Company have not received any formal notice from Brazilian or European authorities, media reports indicate that the European Union is considering suspending imports of poultry from certain production facilities in Brazil, including supposedly due to sanitary concerns. If the European Union, were to implement any such ban of imports from BRF’s production facilities, the Company may not be able to sell its products from such embargoed production plants in the European Union, and depending on the extension of such suspension, it’s results of operations may be adversely affected if BRF are not capable of directing any exceeding production capacity resulting from suspension to other markets at similar prices.

The outcome of this operation may result in penalties, fines and sanctions from governmental authorities or other forms of liabilities. Also, as a result of this operation, the Company may present losses related to contingencies, adjustments to net realizable value of inventories and recoverability of certain assets, all of which are not possible to be estimated at this moment and therefore, no provision has been recorded, except for expenses incurred and disclosed in note 31.

1.4. U.S. Class Action

On March 12, 2018, a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in U.S. Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging, among other things, that BRF and certain of its officers and/or directors engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices related to the regulatory issues or other illegal commercial acts related to Trapaça and Carne Fraca Operation. Because this lawsuit is in its early stage, the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this litigation cannot be estimated. While BRF believes that the claims are without merit and will continue to defend against the litigation vigorously, in the event that this litigation is decided against the Company, or BRF enter into an agreement to settle, there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome would not have a material impact.

1.5. Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting for change of Board of Directors

On March 5, 2018, the Company was called for an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held jointly with the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting on April 26, 2018 to deliberate on the requests: (i) removal of all current members of the Board of Directors; (ii) approval of the number of 10 members to compose the Board of Directors; (iii) election of new members to fill the positions on the Board of Directors; and (iv) election of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors.

1.6.Seasonality

In Brazil and Southern Cone operating segments, in months of November and December of each year, the Company is impacted by seasonality due to Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations, being the best-selling products in this period: turkey, Chester®, ham and pork loins.

In One Foods operating segment, seasonality is due to Ramadan, which is the holy month of the Muslim Calendar. The start of Ramadan depends on the beginning of the moon cycle and therefore can vary each year.

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

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), introduced in Brazil through Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and its technical interpretations (“ICPC”) and guidelines (“OCPC”), approved by the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and applicable to the preparation of quarterly financial information.

The Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as the amounts of other currencies disclosed in the financial statements, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated.

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. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of the affected assets and liabilities in future periods.

64

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)   ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2018 – BRF S.A.   Explanatory Notes (in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis as disclosed of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 (note 3.28).

The individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items which are measured at fair value:

i.derivative and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

ii.share-based payments and employee benefits at fair value, and

iii.biological assets at fair value.

The Company’s Management notes that the consolidated financial statements were prepared considering the continuing capacity of the Company’s operating activities, demonstrated through several acquisitions and maintenance of its operations in the operating segments in which it operates.

In addition, all the relevant information was disclosed in the explanatory notes, in order to clarify and complement the accounting basis used in the preparation of the financial statements and used by the Management.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The quarterly financial information have been prepared according to CVM Deliberation Nº 673/11, that approved CPC 21 (R1), which is consistent with IAS 34, which establishes the minimum content of interim financial statement and the principles for measurement and recognition of a full or condensed set of financial statements for an interim period.

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

The current quarterly financial information was consistently prepared based on the accounting policies and estimates calculation methodology adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 (note 3).

There were no changes on such policies and estimates calculation methodology, except for those related to the adoption of CVM Deliberation 762/16, which regulates revenue from contracts with customers and nº 763/16, which regulates instruments financial, corresponding to IFRS 15 and 09, respectively, set forth below. As allowed by CVM Deliberation Nº 673/11, Management decided not to disclose again the details of the accounting policies adopted by the Company. Hence, the quarterly financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, in order to allow the users of this financial information to further understand the Company’s capacity of profit and future cash flows generation as well as its financial conditions and liquidity.

65

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)   ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2018 – BRF S.A.   Explanatory Notes (in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

3.1.IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company assessed the content of IFRS 15 and based on its operations considers that revenues are recognized when it products are delivered to the customer and therefore, determining when the customer accepts the products and the risks and benefits related to the property are transferred. The revenue recognition occurs when (i) revenue and cost can be reliably measured (ii) receipt of consideration is probable and (iii) there is no continued involvement of the Company with the products. The standard established that revenue must be recognized when the customer obtains the control of products.

In this assessment, recognition and measurement of revenue, rebates, discounts and returns, as well as policies, processes and individual relevant agreements, have not been substantially changed by the new standard. Then, the accounting policy applied by the Company did not change significantly.

3.2.IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

The Company adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement from January 01, 2018, as per CVM Deliberation Nº 763/16. The changes in accounting policies and its impacts to the financial statements are described below:

Classification of Financial Assets

IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets which contains three principal classification categories: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, held for trading, loans and receivables and available for sale.

This change did not cause any retrospective impact in the measurement of the Company’s financial assets. Prospectively, for equity instruments measured at FVOCI, when settled or transferred, the gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income no longer affect income statement, being immediately reclassified to accumulated profits or losses, in equity.

66

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)   ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2018 – BRF S.A.   Explanatory Notes (in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

The classification of financial assets is based on individual characteristics of the instrument and the management model of the asset or portfolio in which it is contained. For already existent financial instruments on January 01, 2018, the Company has adequate the categories on the following manner:

(i)        Financial assets held to maturity and loans and receivables were transferred to the amortized cost category;

(ii)       Financial assets held for trading were transferred to the FVTPL classification;

(iii)      Financial assets available for sale were transferred to the FVOCI classification;

The charts related to financial instruments in Notes 4 and 7 now follow the categories described above.

Hedge accounting

The Company has chosen to apply the new hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9. The standard requires that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with the Company’s risk management objectives and strategy, the application of a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness and prohibits voluntary discontinuation of hedge hedge accounting.

For financial instruments designated into cash flow hedge relations, the Company has begun to account for the time value of purchased options, the forward element of forward contracts and foreign currency basis spreads as cost of hedging, into other comprehensive income. When the instrument is terminated, the costs of hedge are reclassified to the income statement together with the intrinsic values of the instrument.

The categories and designation models for hedge accounting remain unchanged,

Impairment of Financial Assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ model. This model is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, except for equity instruments and contractual assets.

For financial investments and cash and equivalents, the Company did not have any relevant impact on credit losses, due to the elevated ratings of its counterparties.

For trade receivables and notes receivables, the Company has elected the practical expedient of the aging-based provision matrix in paragraph B5.5.35 of IFRS 9, with the appropriate groupings of the receivables.

The Company prepared a study of historical losses of its customers portfolios for every acting region, taking into consideration the dynamics of the markets and the instruments hired to reduce credit exposures, such as: letters of credit, insurances and guarantees. In addition to the analysis of the consolidated portfolios, specific clients with different credit risks were treated separately.

67

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)   ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2018 – BRF S.A.   Explanatory Notes (in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

Based on the studies, expected losses indexes were calculated for each portfolio and aging class. The indexes were applied to the accounts receivable balances and generated the amounts of expected credit losses. The Company monitors the indexes, customers and portfolios constantly, recognizing the respective changes into the commercial expense account.

The adoption of the new policy has impacted the Company’s equity as per below:

Retained Earnings	Impact of IFRS 9 adoption
Increase in expected credit losses with trade accounts receivable	12,613
Increase in expected credit losses with notes receivable	6,499
Deferred taxes	(5,963)
Non-controlling interest	2,547
Impact on 01.01.18	15,696

Transition

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 were applied retrospectively, except as described below:

·The Company took advantage of the exemption allowing it not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) changes. Differences in carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 were recognized in retained earnings at January 01, 2018.

·The new hedge accounting requirements were applied prospectively.

3.3.Comparability of the statement of income

In 2018, for a better presentation of expenses by function, the Company reclassified expenses with employee benefits plan, share-based payment, labor contingencies (public civil actions) and disabled operations. For the purposes of comparability with the previous year, the Company reclassified the amount of R$78,849 for the period ending 03.31.17 from other operating income (expenses), net, to (i) cost of sales in the amount of R$73,562 (ii) selling expenses in the amount of R$4,222 and (iii) administrative expenses in the amount of R$1,165.

The exchange rates in Brazilian Reais that are effective at the balance sheet dates are as follows:

Exchange rate at the balance sheet date	03.31.18	12.31.17

4.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

4.1.Overview

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks, which are actively managed in compliance with the Financial Risk Management Policy and Strategic Documents (“Risk Policy”) and internal guidelines subject to such policy.

The Risk Policy is under the management of the Board of Directors, Risk Management Committee and Financial Risk Management department, with clear and defined roles and responsibilities, as follows:

·The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the Risk Policy further defining the tolerance limits for the different risks identified as acceptable to the Company on behalf of its shareholders. The current risk policy was reviewed and approved and is valid until on November 26, 2019;

·The Financial Risk Management Committee formally and subordinated to the Executive Board, 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 strategies and monitoring the risk exposure levels to ensure compliance with Risk Policy; and

·The Risk Management Department has the key role in monitoring, evaluating and reporting the financial risks taken by the Company.

The Risk Policy determines that derivatives can only be used for hedge purposes, and prohibits entering into any leveraged derivative transaction. Additionally, any individual hedge operation (notional amount) must not exceed 2.5% of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

4.2.Credit risk management

The Company is exposed to credit risk related to the financial assets held by: trade and non-trade accounts receivable, marketable securities, derivative instruments and cash and equivalents.

i.Accounts receivable credit risk

Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable is actively managed through specific systems and is supported by internal policies for credit analysis. The significant level of diversification and geographical dispersion of the customer portfolio significantly reduces the risk, however, the Company choses to complement the risk management tactic by hiring insurance policies for specific markets. The impairment of these financial assets is carried out based on IFRS 9 (note 3.2).

ii.Counterparty credit risk

Credit risk associated with marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments is limited to counterparties with Investment Grade ratings. The risk concentration is constantly assessed according to credit ratings and the Company’s portfolio.

On March 31, 2018, the Company had financial investments over R$100,000 at the following financial institutions: Banco Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú, BNP Paribas, Banco Santander, Caixa Econômica Federal, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, Standard Chartered and Unicredit Bank.

The Company also held derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Banco Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú, Banco Santander, Banco Votorantim, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Rabobank.

4.3.Capital management and liquidity risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as far as it needs cash or other financial assets to settle its obligations in the respective terms. The Company’s cash and liquidity strategy takes into consideration historical results volatility scenarios as well as simulations of sectorial and systemic crisis, grounded by allowing resilience in scenarios of capital restriction.

BRF’s ideal capital structure definition is essentially associated with (i) cash strength as tolerance factor to liquidity shocks, (ii) financial leverage and (iii) maximization of the opportunity cost of capital.

The financial leverage seeks balance between various sources of financing and the conditions of allocations, with the purpose of maximizing the opportunity cost of the Company in its business expansion initiatives, without compromising the capacity to honor its commitments and obligations. Additionally, the maintenance of the investment grade disciplines the weighting between third-party and own capital.

As guideline, the gross debt must be concentrated in the long term. On March 31, 2018, the long term consolidated gross debt represented 62.0% (75.4% as of December 31, 2017) of the total indebtedness with an average term higher than 4 years.

The Company monitors the net debt and indebtedness as set forth below:

4.4.Market risk management

a.Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the one that may cause economic losses to the Company resulting from volatility of the rates, affecting its assets and liabilities.

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

the market interest rates, in order to evaluate any need to enter into hedging transaction to protect from the exposure to fluctuation of such rates and manage the mismatch between its financial investments and debts.

The Company’s indebtedness is essentially linked to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), fixed coupon (“R$ and USD”), Interbank Deposit Certificate (“CDI”) and Broad Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”). In situations of adverse market changes that result in an increase in LIBOR, CDI and IPCA, the cost of floating-rate debt rises and on the other hand, the cost of fixed-rate debt decreases in relative terms.

Regarding the marketable securities, the Company holds mainly instruments indexed by the Interbank Deposit Certificate ("CDI") for investments in Brazil and fixed coupon (“USD”) for investments in the foreign market.

The derivative instruments held to reduce the interest rate risk exposure as of March 31, 2018 are set forth below:

b.Foreing exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the one that may cause unexpected losses to the Company resulting from volatility of the FX rates, reducing its assets or revenues or increasing its liabilities and costs. The Company’s exposure is managed in two dimensions: balance sheet exposure and operating income exposure.

i.Balance sheet exposure

The Risk Policy regarding balance sheet exposure has the objective to balance assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, hedging the Company’s balance sheet by using natural hedges, over-the-counter derivatives and exchange traded futures.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are mainly impacted by variations in the following currencies: Baht, Kwait Dinar, Dirham, U.S. Dollar, Euro, Yen, Pound Sterling, Turkish Lira, Argentine Peso, Riyal Saudi Arabia, Riyal Qatar, and Russian Ruble.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency which exchange variations are recognized in the income statement are as follows, summarized in Brazilian Reais:

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have amounts denominated in Brazilian Reais registered as trade accounts payable, which reduces the exposure to liabilities in foreign currencies registered in Brazil. On March 31, 2018, as well as on December 31, 2017 this effect overcame the amount of trade accounts payable in foreign currencies registered in Brazil, inverting the trade accounts payable exposure.

The investments, net line item is comprised of natural hedges derived from assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with Brazilian Reais as functional currency.

The net P&L exposure is mainly composed of the following currencies:

Total		(15,596)		55,393

The Company has a foreign exchange exposure that impacts shareholders’ equity equivalent to R$5,376,235 on March 31, 2018 (R$5,519,344 on December 31, 2017). This exposure does not contemplate the effects of the financial instruments designated as hedging instruments in the item 4.2.1, whose changes in fair value present a temporary effect on shareholders’ equity. 

The derivative financial instruments hired to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposure on March 31, 2018 are not designated as hedge accounting and are set forth below:

ii.Operating income exposure

The Risk Policy regarding operating income exposure has the objective to hedge revenues and costs denominated in foreign currencies. The Company is supported by internal models to measure and monitor these risks, and uses financial instruments for hedging, designating the relations as cash flow hedges.

⁽¹⁾Notional amount converted by the Ptax rate at the end of the period or partial revocation dates. This amount represents the total that may impact the Company's shareholders' equity.

c.Commodities price risk

In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases commodities, mainly corn, soybean, soybean meal and soybean oil, individual components of the production costs.

Corn and soy prices are subject to volatility resulting from weather conditions, harvest productivity, transport and warehouse costs, government agricultural policies, FX rates and international market prices, among other factors.

The Risk Policy stablishes coverage limits to the flow of purchases of corn and soy with the purpose of reducing the impact due to a price increase of these raw materials. The hedge may be reached using derivatives or by inventory management.

The financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges and fair value hedges for the commodities price exposure on March 31, 2018 are set forth below:

03.31.18

d.Stock price risk

On August 16, 2017, the Company sold shares held in treasury and entered into a Total Return Swap instrument registered in B3, in equivalent amount, with maturity on February 05, 2019 and no possibility of renewal. By this instrument, the Company will receive or pay the variation on the stock price (BRFS3) in exchange for the payment of interest indexed to CDI. This swap does not qualify as hedge accounting and therefore was not designated as such. Additionally, there are securities given as guarantee to the counterparty, as demonstrated in note 14.

4.5.Hedge accounting

4.5.1.Relations designated as hedge accounting

The Company applies hedge accounting rules for derivative and non-derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and fair value hedges, in accordance with the Risk Policy determinations. For all the hedge relations, the hedge index, which represents the proportion of the object hedged by the instrument, is 100%.

The Company formally designates its hedge accounting relations in compliance with CVM Deliberation 763/16 and the Risk Policy. The hedge accounting relations used by the company as of March 31, 2018 and their effects are described below:

i.Cash flow hedge accounting – exports in foreign currencies

The future exports in foreign currencies are highly probable and qualify as hedged object since the Company expects to keep its sales in foreign currencies for future periods, based on sales already committed and historical exports.

The derivative and non-derivative financial instruments used for hedging (detailed in note 4.4.b.ii) have a direct economic relation with the objects risk, since both are transactions in the same currency. The main source of ineffectiveness in this relation is the possible mismatch between the instruments maturity dates and the sales dates. However, this mismatch is limited within the month of designation and it is not expected to compromise the hedge relation.

ii.Cash flow hedge – commodities

The future commodities purchases are highly probable and qualify as hedge object as far as these inputs are essential for the productive process of the Company. The exposure consists of purchases already committed and of historical purchase volumes.

78

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)   ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2018 – BRF S.A.   Explanatory Notes (in thousands of Brazilian Reais)  

The derivative instruments used as hedge (detailed in note 4.4.c) have a strong economic relation with the objects risk, since the purchase prices negotiated with the suppliers are indexed to the same prices used as coverage. The main source of ineffectiveness is the sales seasonality, which in atypical situations may delay or anticipate the orders. It is not expected that this ineffectiveness may compromise the hedge relation.

iii.Fair value hedge – commodities

The Company has agreements with suppliers for future purchases at fixed prices. These agreements are firm commitments, which the company designates as fair value hedge objects.

The derivative instruments used as hedge (detailed in note 4.4.c) have a strong economic relation with the objects risk, since the purchase prices negotiated with the suppliers are indexed to the same prices used as coverage. There are no identified sources of ineffectiveness that may compromise the hedge relation.

4.5.2.Gains and losses with hedge accounting instruments

The gains and losses with the instruments designated as cash flow hedge, while unrealized, are registered as a component of other comprehensive income. For hedging instruments designated in fair value hedge relations, the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in inventories, item in which the object will be registered at initial recognition.

4.6.Sensitivity analysis

The Management understands that the most relevant risks that may affect the Company’s income are: volatility of commodities prices, stock prices and foreign exchange rates. Currently the fluctuation of the interest rates do not affect significantly the Company’s results since Management has chosen to keep at fixed rates a considerable portion of its debts.

The scenarios below are compliant with CVM Instruction 475/08 and present the possible impacts of the financial instruments considering situations of increase and decrease in the selected risk factors. The amounts of exports used correspond to the notional amount of the financial instruments designated for hedge accounting.

The information used in the preparation of the analysis are based on the position as of March 31, 2018. The future results to be measured may diverge significantly of the estimated values if the reality presents different than the considered premises. Positive values indicate gains and negative values indicate losses.

4.8.Fair value of the financial instruments

According to CVM Deliberation 699/12 the fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value are classified into 3 hierarchy levels:

·Level 1 – Prices quoted (not adjusted) for identical instruments in active markets. Investments in stocks, credit linked notes, savings accounts, overnights, term deposits, Financial Treasury Bills (“LFT”) and investment funds are classified at level 1;

·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. Investments in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and derivatives, which are measured by well-known pricing models: discounted cash flows and Black & Scholes. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; and

12.2. Estimated time of realization

Deferred tax arising from temporary differences will be realized as these differences are settled. The period of the settlement or realization of such differences is uncertain and is tied to several factors that are not under control of the Management.

When assessing the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets on income tax loss carryforward and negative calculation basis of social contribution tax, Management considers the Company’s budget, strategic plan and projected taxable income. Based on this estimate, Management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax will be realized, as set forth below:

The Company has partnerships with several financial institutions that allow the suppliers to anticipate their receivables. The suppliers do have the freedom to choose whether to anticipate or not and, if positive, with which institution. The anticipation allows the suppliers to better manage their cash flow needs. This flexibility allows the Company to intensify its commercial relations with the network of suppliers by potentially leveraging benefits such as preference for supply in case of restricted supply, better price conditions and / or more flexible payment terms, among others.

The Company has not identified a material change in the existing commercial conditions with its suppliers.

As such, these transactions are set forth in the operating cash flows.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

BRF S.A.

Itajaí - SC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF S.A. (“Company”) contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which comprises the balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and the respective statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, as well as for the presentation of this information in accordance with standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on review engagements of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the 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 the auditing standards 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 interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, issued by IASB, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to explanatory notes 1.3 and 1.4 to the interim financial information, which disclose information about the events, the measures taken by the Company and the potential consequences of Operação Trapaça. Our conclusion is unmodified in respect to this matter.

Other matters

Statements of Value Added

The individual and consolidated interim financial information, related to statements of value added for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34, were submitted to the review procedures followed together with the review of the Quarterly Information – ITR of the Company. In order to form our conclusion, we evaluated whether these statements are reconciled to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that it has not been prepared, in all material respects, consistent with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
