Report on the quarterly information review

To

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Vigor Alimentos S.A.

São Paulo - SP

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Vigor Alimentos S.A. (“Company”) contained within the Quarterly Information - ITR for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2012, which comprise the balance sheet and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the notes to these interim financial information.

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

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standard on Review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim 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 would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion about the individual interim financial information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that causes us to believe that the individual interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) applicable to Quarterly Information and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Conclusion about the consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34 applicable to Quarterly Information and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other issues

Interim statement of value added

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated Interim Statement of Value added for the period ended March 31, 2012, which are the responsibility of its Management, which presentation in the interim financial statements is required in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information and considered as supplemental information by IFRS, which do not require the disclosure of the Statement of Value Added. This statement was submitted to the same review procedures previously described and based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that would lead us to believe that they have not been fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Individual and Consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

3 Summary of significant accounting practices

The main accounting practices used in the preparation of these financial statements, as described below, have been consistently applied all over the reported periods, unless otherwise stated.

a) Revenue recognition

Revenue and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the payment received or receivable for sale of products and services in the controlled Vigor normal course of business.

In the income statement, the revenue is net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts, as well as of intercompany sales, on note 18 is presented net revenue reconciliation. Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

According to IAS 18/CPC 30 - Revenues, the controlled Vigor recognizes revenue when, and only when:

(i) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

(ii) the entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards incidental to ownership over the goods;

(iii) it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and its subsidiary;

(iv) Entity neither maintain involvement in the management of product sold at levels normally associated with ownership nor effective control of such cost of good sold.

(v) expenses incurred or to be incurred related to the transaction, can be reliably measured.

The expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

b) Accounting estimates

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, Management made the following judgments which can eventually have a material impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

 

   

impairment of non-financial assets;

 

   

loss on the reduction of recoverable value of taxes;

 

   

fair value of financial instruments;

 

   

provision for tax, civil and labor risks;

 

   

estimated losses on doubtful receivables;

 

   

useful lives of property, plant and equipment.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the financial statements in the period in each the estimates are revised.

The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in different amounts due to potential inaccuracies inherent in the process of its determination..

c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances, banks and financial investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of the contract.

d) Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable correspond to amounts owed by customers in the ordinary course of business of the controlled Vigor. If the due date is equivalent to one year or less, the account receivable is classified as current assets. Otherwise, the corresponding amount is classified as noncurrent assets.

Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value, subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any allowance for doubtful accounts and any provision for impairment when necessary. In practice, are recognized at the invoiced amount, adjusted by any provision of loan losses and provision for possible impairment if there is evidence of reduction in the recoverable amount.

e) Financial instruments

Subsequent measurement of financial instruments occurs at each balance sheet date, according to the rules for each category of financial assets and liabilities:

 

   

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial asset are classified by its fair value on the financial report if it is classified as held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair values in accordance with a documented risk management and investment strategy of the Company. Transaction costs, after initial recognition are recognized in income statement as incurred. Financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes in fair value of these assets are recognized in statement of income of the period.

 

   

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or estimated payment amounts that are not quoted in 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 using the effective interest method, decreased by any loss on the impairment. The main assets of the controlled Vigor classified in this category are “trade accounts receivables” and “related parties”.

Held to maturity

In the case when the Company intends and is able to hold bonds to maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held to maturity. Investments held to maturity are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, investments held to maturity are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, decreased by any loss on the impairment. The Company has no financial instruments in this category.

 

   

Non derivative financial liabilities

The Company recognizes debt securities and subordinated debt on the date on which they originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value recorded in income) are initially recognized on the trade date on which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations canceled or expired.

The controlled Vigor has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: loans, financing, trade accounts payable and other payables.

 

   

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, except those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment loss is recognized if, and only if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition, and had an impact on the future cash flows estimated of this asset.

The financial asset carrying value is reduced directly by the loss of the impairment for all financial assets, except accounts receivable in which the carrying value is reduced by provision. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the provision. Changes in the carrying value of the provision are recognized in statement of income.

 

   

Derivatives

The Company and subsidiaries recognize and disclose financial instruments and derivatives according to IAS 39/CPC 38 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRIC 9 - Assessment of embedded derivatives and IFRS 7/CPC 40 - Disclosure of Financial Instruments. The financial instruments are recognized after the Company and its subsidiaries become a party to the contractual provisions at the instruments.

Based on a risk management policy of the JBS Group, the controlled Vigor contract financial derivatives instruments in order to minimize the risk of losses due to the exposure to fluctuation in exchange rates, interest rates, commodities prices, credit risks and liquidity, which can affect the valuation of current and noncurrent assets, future cash flow and profit.

The fair value of derivative instruments is calculated by the treasury department, based on information of each contracted transaction and market information on the dates of closure of the financial statements, such as interest rates and exchange rates.

f) Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on the analysis of the aging list, provisioning the items of long standing, and considering the probable estimated losses, which the amount is considered sufficient by the Management of the controlled Vigor to cover probable losses on accounts receivable.

Bad debits expenses were recorded under the caption “Selling Expenses” in the consolidated statement of income. When no additional recovery is expected, the allowance for doubtful accounts is usually reversed against the definitive write-off of the account receivable.

g) Inventories

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 2/CPC 16 - Inventories, the inventories are stated at the lower of the average cost of acquisition or production, and the net realizable value. The cost of inventories is recognized in statement of income when inventories are sold.

h) Investments - Individual financial statements

In the individual financial statements of the Company, the information of the subsidiaries are measured by the equity method.

Exchange differences on foreign currency investments are recognized in shareholders’ equity in the accumulated translation adjustments.

i) Property, plant and equipment

According to IAS 16/CPC 27 - Fixed Assets, Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, based on the estimated economic useful lives of the assets

An item of fixed assets is disposed when of there is no future economic benefits resulting from its continued use or sale. Any gains or losses on sale or disposal of fixed assets are determined by the difference between the amounts received against the book value and are recognized in the income statement.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of the financial statement date and the effect of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Due to the change in the Brazilian accounting practice for the full compliance to the convergence with international practices, and the initial adoption of the CPC 27 (IAS 16), the Company had the option of using the concept of deemed cost as provided in the CPC 37 (IFRS 1), and CPC 43, based on this practice, the date of initial adoption of IFRS, the Vigor opted to use the concept of deemed cost.

j) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, less amortization. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with defined useful life and other assets (current and noncurrent) are tested for impairment, if indications of potential impairment exist. Intangible assets with indefinite lives useful are tested for impairment when an indication of potential impairment exists or on an annual basis, regardless of whether or not there is any indication of impairment, pursuant to IAS 38/CPC 4 - Intangible Assets.

After each year end a review is made of the book value of tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is some indication that those assets have suffered any impairment. If such indication is indentified, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to measure the amount of such loss, if any.

The recoverable amount is the higher amount between fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In evaluation of value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value by the discount rate before tax that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its carrying value, the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. The loss on the impairment is recognized immediately in the statement of income and is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, there is an increase in amount of the asset due to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but it does not exceed carrying amount that would have been determined if no loss on the impairment had been recognized for the asset in prior periods. Reversal of loss on the impairment is recognized directly in the income statement.

k) Other current and noncurrent assets

Other current and noncurrent assets are stated at cost or realizable value including, if applicable, income earned through the balance sheet date.

l) Trade accounts payable

Correspond to the amounts owed to suppliers in the ordinary course of business of the controlled Vigor. If the payment period is equivalent to one year or less, suppliers are classified as current liabilities. Otherwise, the corresponding amount is classified as noncurrent liabilities. When applicable, are added interest and monetary or exchange variation.

m) Income tax and social contribution

Current taxes

Current taxes are computed based on taxable income at tax rates in effect, according to prevailing legislation.

Deferred taxes

Income tax and social contribution (deferred tax) are calculated on the revaluation reserves, and on the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates enacted and expected to be applied when the deferred tax assets are realized or when the income tax and social contribution tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only in proportion to the expectation or likelihood that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences, tax losses and tax credits can be used.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and they are related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

n) Current and noncurrent liabilities

Current and noncurrent liabilities are stated at known or estimated amounts, including, if applicable, charges and monetary or exchange rate variations.

o) Contingent assets and liabilities

In accordance with IAS 37/CPC 25 - IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the contingent assets are recognized only when their realization is virtually certain, based on favorable final judicial decision. Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets classified as likely success are only disclosed.

Contingent liabilities are accrued when losses are probable and the amounts can be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities classified as possible are only disclosed and contingent liabilities classified as remote are neither accrued nor disclosed.

p) Loans and financing

Loans and financing by the controlled Vigor are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently re-measured to amortized cost, which are the costs plus charges, interest and monetary and exchange variations established in contracts and incurred through the balance sheet date, as stated in note 13.

q) Adjustment of assets and liabilities to present value

As provided under IFRS, the Company presents, when applicable, assets and liabilities at present value. Long-term assets and liabilities are adjusted to present value, but the adjustment on the short-term balances occurs only when the fact is considered material in relation to the consolidated financial statements.

In the present value calculation adjustment the Company considered the following assumptions: (i) the amount to be discounted; (ii) the dates of realization and settlement; and (iii) the discount rate.

The discount rate assumption relies on current market valuations as to time value of money and specific risks for each asset and liability.

r) Consolidation

Consolidated financial statements include individual financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. Control is obtained when the Company has the power to control financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

When necessary, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted according to the accounting policies established by the Company.

All transactions, balances, income and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The financial statements of the foreign wholly owned subsidiary, Vigor Limited, are originally prepared in the currency of the country in which they are located and, subsequently, are converted into IFRS and Reais using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the historical exchange rate for changes in shareholders’ equity and the average exchange rate for the period of income and expenses when it is appropriate. Gains and losses arising from changes in shareholders’ equity and recognition of income and expenses by the average exchange rate are recognized in shareholders’ equity under the caption “accumulated translation adjustments” in accordance with IAS 21/CPC 2 - The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates.

s) Foreign currency translation

Function and presentation currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the subsidiary entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.

The items of the financial statements of the subsidiary are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the its subsidiary operate (“functional currency”), being translated to Brazilian Real at the corresponding exchange rate of the reporting period for assets and liabilities, the historical rate for equity and the exchange rate at date of the relevant transactions, when it is appropriate we use the average exchange rate of the period of the period for the income statement.

Basic: Calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted: Calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares in common shares, adjusted for own shares held.

v) Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8/CPC 22 - Segment reporting - Segment reporting is presented consistently with the internal reports provided to the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources allocations, performance evaluation by segment and strategic decision making process.

w) New IFRS, amendments and interpretations issued by IASB applicable to the consolidated financial statements

New accounting pronouncements from the IASB and IFRIC interpretations have been published and / or reviewed and have the optional adoption in March 31, 2012.

The standard also requires the adoption of only one method for determining losses in recoverable value of assets. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The Company will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

 

   

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 10 as issued establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently analyzing any possible effects arising from the adoption of IFRS 10.

The Company is currently analyzing impacts on its disclosures arising from the adoption of IFRS 12.

 

   

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - IFRS 13 establishes new requirements on how to measure fair value and the related disclosures for IFRSs and US generally accepted accounting principles. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently analyzing any possible effects arising from the adoption of IFRS 13.

Value-added tax on sales and services (ICMS)

Recoverable ICMS refers to excess of credits derived from purchases of raw materials, packaging and other materials over tax charges due on domestic sales, specifically in the unit based in the city of Santo Inácio - PR. To offset these credits, the controlled Vigor signed an agreement with suppliers for non-use of the credit of ICMS based on local laws, through the ICMS exemption on purchases of packaging.

PIS and COFINS (social contribution on net income)

Refers to non-cumulative PIS and COFINS credits arising from purchases of raw materials, packaging and other materials used in the products sold in the foreign market. The company has honed credit balance of such taxes due to tax rate to zero in some lines of products such as milk, yogurt and cheeses under the provisions introduced by Law No. 11.196/05 and No. 11.488/07. Since August 2011, the Company is compensating these credits against other taxes due (withholding income tax and social contribution , income tax and social contribution) and is in the process of application for approval for reimbursement of the total balance of credits.

IRPJ/CSSL/IRRF (withholding income tax)

Refers to withholding income tax levied on financial investments, tax losses and negative basis of social contribution which can be offset against income tax payable on profits.

Goodwill

In the Company refers to the cession of JBS S.A investment at carrying amount, including goodwill, in S.A. Fábrica de Produtos Alimentícios Vigor for Company’s capitalization. This cession occurs as a result of a transaction under common control, which occurred on January 17, 2012, in which the parent JBS S.A. has subscribed the capital on the amount of R$ 1,191,373 in the Company by cession of investment at carrying amount (R$ 330,427) and goodwill (R$ 860,946) in the S.A. Fábrica de Produtos Alimentícios Vigor (“Vigor”). At that date the Company became the wholly shareholder of Vigor, there has been no change in its final control, which remained with the parent company JBS S.A. The values recorded in the financial statements represent the carrying amount in JBS S.A. before such transaction.

In the year of 2008 the subsidiary Vigor acquired a 100% interest in Laticínios Serrabella Ltda, with goodwill of R$ 1,481,based on expected future earnings of the acquired business, which will be paid over a period of 5 years. Goodwill amortized as of December 31, 2008 is R$ 22.

In accordance with CVM Decision No. 565, dated December 17, 2008, and CVM Decision No. 664, dated December 2, 2010, since January 1, 2009 the Subsidiary has adopted the criteria of not amortizing goodwill based upon expected future earnings, which is in line with IAS 38/CPC 04. Under these CVM decisions and the IAS 36/CPC 01, intangible assets with indefinite life can no longer be amortized, but should be tested for impairment on an annual basis.

Goodwill: According to technical interpretation ICPC 09—Individual Financial Statements, Separate Statements, Consolidated Statements and Application of Equity Method, in the consolidated statements goodwill is recorded in the Intangible assets due to expected profitability of the acquired subsidiary, assets and liabilities are consolidated in the Company. In the balance sheet of the Individual Statements, this goodwill is recorded in Investments, the same group of noncurrent assets, because, for the Company it is part of its investment on subsidiary acquisition, not being its intangible assets (as stated above, the expectation of future earnings—the genuine intangible—is the subsidiary).

Impairment test of goodwill

On January 20, 2012 the Company tested the recovery of the goodwill using the concept of “value in use” through models of discounted cash flow, representing the group of tangible and intangible assets used in the development and sale of products to Vigor’s customers.

The process of determining the value in use involves the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates about cash flows, such as rates of revenue growth, costs and expenses, estimates of investment, working capital and discount rates. The assumptions about growth projections, cash flow and future cash flows are based on Management’s best estimates, as well as comparable information from market, economic conditions that will exist during the economic life of the group of assets that provides the generation of the cash flows. The future cash flows were discounted based on the representative rate of the cost of capital (WACC).

Consistent with the techniques of economic evaluation, assessment of the value in use is effected for a period of 10 years, and since then, considering the perpetuity of the premises in view of the business continuity capability for an unlimited period. The Management judged appropriate to use the period of 10 years based on their past experience in designing accurately projected cash flows. This understanding is in accordance with paragraph 35 of IAS 36/CPC 01 (R)—Impairment of Assets.

The discount rates used to extrapolate the projections beyond the period of 10 years ranged from 3.5% to 5.5% per annum in nominal values. The estimated future cash flows were discounted at discount rates ranging from 9.9% to 11.7% per year, also in nominal values. The principal assumptions used in estimating the value in use are as follows:

 

   

Sales Revenue—Revenues are projected from 2012 to 2021 considering the growth in volume of different products of Cash Generating Units.

 

   

Operating costs and expenses—The costs and expenses were projected accordance with historical performance of the subsidiary Vigor and, with the historical growth in revenues.

24 Insurance coverage (non audited)

As of March 31, 2012 the controlled Vigor had insurance coverage in amounts considered sufficient to cover possible losses. This coverage includes all types of casualties.

Adopted risk assumptions are not part of quarterly review scope and consequently were not reviewed by independent auditors.

 

25 Risk management and financial instruments

The controlled Vigor’s operations is exposed to market risks arising from their operations, mainly related to possible changes in exchange rates, interest rates, credit risks and liquidity risk.

a) Management risk policy

Risk management is basically corporative, being applied and monitored on a global level, by JBS S.A.

The controlled Vigor has a formal risk administration policy, controlled by the administration treasury department that uses control instruments through appropriate systems and qualified professionals in risk measurement, analysis and administration that make possible the reduction of the daily risk exposure. This policy is permanently monitored by the financial committee and for Directors of the JBS S.A. that have the responsibility of the strategy definition to the risk administration, determining the position limits and exhibition. Additionally, operations with speculative financial instruments character are not allowed.

b) Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk is tied directly to the risk of increases in expenses related to loans and financing, or reduction in income linked to financial investments, considering the fluctuations of market rates. The risk is reduced by the strategy of equalization of the rates contracted to CDI .

Sensibility analysis

The controlled Vigor’s operations are indexed to fixed rates by CDI. Thus, in general, the Company’s management believes that any fluctuation in interest rates, would create no significant impact on its income.

c) Exchange variation risks

Exchange rate risk is related to potentially adverse results that may arise from oscillations in this risk factor, which may be caused by economic crisis, sovereign monetary policy alterations, or market movements. The Vigor has assets and liabilities exposed to foreign currencies, however the Risk Management Policy does not believe in natural hedging from those opposite exposures, since other important issues like expiry matching and market volatility are very relevant and must be observed.

The Risk Management Department applies approved hedge instruments to protect financial assets and liabilities, potential future cash flow from commercial activities and net investments in foreign operations. Swaps may be used to hedge loans whenever they are quoted in currencies different than the Company’s functional currency. The main exposures to exchange rate risk are in US Dollars (US$).

The risk of exchange rate variation on loans, financing, trade accounts receivable in foreign currency from exports, inventories and any other payables denominated in foreign currency, of the Company and its subsidiary.

Below are presented the assets and liabilities exposed to exchange rate variation risks, as well as the effects of such accounts in the income statements for the periods ended on March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

d) Credit risks

The controlled Vigor is potentially subject to credit risks related to accounts receivable, financial investments and hedging contracts. The Strategies to reduce the credit risk is based on the spread of portfolio, not having customers or business group representing over 10% of consolidated sales, credit-related financial ratios and operational health, credit limits, detailed analysis of the financial ability of customers through own federal tax number, affiliates companies and partners federal tax number, and through consult with the agencies of information and constant monitoring of customers.

The controlled Vigor limits its exposure to credit risk by customer and market, through its department of credit analysis and portfolio management clients. Thus, the Company seeks to reduce the economic exposure to a particular customer and/or market that may represent significant losses to the controlled Vigor in the event contractual default or implementation of sanitary or trade barrier in countries to which it exports. The market risk exposure is monitored by the Credit Committee of the controlled Vigor that meets regularly with the commercial areas for analysis and control of the portfolio.

The parameters used are based on the daily flows of information monitoring operations that identify additional purchase volumes in the market, eventual contracts default, bad checks, and protests or lawsuits against their customers. Internal controls include the assignment of credit limits and configuration status granted to each individual client and automatic lock-billing in the event of default, timeouts or occurrence of restrictive information.

The Risk Management Department follows all operations involving credit risk with financial institutions (investments and hedging), monitoring exposure limits set in the Risk Management Policy based in credit ratings provided by international rating agencies.

The controlled Vigor held on March 31, 2012 investments with balances exceeding R$ 10,000 with the following financial institutions: Banco Santander, Banco do Brasil and Banco Bradesco.

The controlled Vigor held on March 31, 2012 contract for protection with fair value exceeding R$ 10,000 with Banco Votorantim S.A.

e) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the management of working capital of the controlled Vigor and amortization of financing controlled Vigor will find difficulty in meeting their financial obligations falling due.

The controlled Vigor manage its capital based on parameters optimization of capital structure with a focus on liquidity and leverage metrics that enable a return to shareholders over the medium term, consistent with the risks assumed in the transaction.

The Management of the Vigor’s liquidity is done taking into account mainly the immediate liquidity indicator modified, represented by the level of cash plus investments divided by short-term debt.

Based on the analysis of these indicators, the management of working capital has been defined to maintain the natural leverage of the controlled Vigor at levels equal to or less than the leverage ratio that we want to achieve.

h) Fair value of financial instruments

The assets and liabilities are represented in the financial statements at cost and their appropriations of revenues and expenses are accounted for in accordance with its expected realization or settlement. The swap is obtained by calculating independently the active and passive parts, bringing them to their present value. The future prices used to calculate the curve of the contracts were drawn from the Bloomberg database.

In accordance with IFRS 7/CPC 40 the controlled Vigor classify the measuring of fair value in accordance with the hierarchical levels that reflects the significance of the indices used in this measurement, as the following levels:

Level 1: Prices quoted in active markets (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2—Additional information available, except those of Level 1, in which prices are quoted for similar assets and liabilities, either directly by obtaining prices in active markets or indirectly, as valuation techniques that use data from active markets.

Level 3—The indices used for calculation are not derived from an active market. The controlled Vigor do not have this level of measurement instrument.

As noted above, the fair values of financial instruments, except for those maturing in the short term, equity instruments with no active market and contracts with discretionary features that fair value can not be reliably measured, are presented in hierarchical levels of measurement below:

Fair Value versus Book Value

Loans and financing presented in the table below, include the values of working capital in Reais and working capital in foreign currency (bonds), as shown in detail in note 13. In the opinion of Management the loans and financing, which are measured at their amortized cost values do not vary significantly with respect to their fair values. These loans and financing are restated with bases in contracted rates and interest through the date of closing of financial statements, so the outstanding balance is recognized by an amount close to fair value. Since there is no active market for such instruments, the differences that could occur if these values were for amounts paid in advance would be unrepresentative.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet are as follows:

Additional Information for U.S. Shareholders of JBS S.A. (“JBS”):

Exchange Offer of JBS Shares for Vigor Alimentos S.A. (“Vigor”) Shares

This communication contains information with respect to the proposed exchange offer (oferta pública voluntária de permuta de ações) (“Exchange Offer”) under Brazilian law of JBS shares for Vigor shares. JBS and Vigor are Brazilian companies. Information distributed in connection with the proposed Exchange Offer is subject to Brazilian disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and accounting practices in Brazil that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws in respect of the proposed Exchange Offer, since the companies are located in Brazil and all of their officers and directors are residents of Brazil. You may not be able to sue the companies or their officers or directors in a Brazilian court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Finally, it may be difficult to compel the companies and their affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

You should be aware that the companies may purchase shares of the companies otherwise than through the proposed Exchange Offer, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

The words “expect”, “believe”, “estimate”, “intend”, “will”, “plan” and similar expressions, when related to JBS and its subsidiaries, indicate forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the current view of management and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on various assumptions and factors, including general economic, market, industry, and operational factors. Any changes to these assumptions or factors may lead to practical results different from current expectations. Excessive reliance should not be placed on those statements.
