Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB and in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements taken as a whole.

In our opinion, the individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vigor Alimentos S.A. as of January 20, 2012 and its cash flows for the period of 20 days then ended in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Opinion on Consolidated Financial Statements

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Vigor Alimentos S.A. as of January 20, 2012 and its cash flows for the period of 20 days then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB and in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Other Matters

Financial statements framework

As described in note 2.c., on January 17, 2012, the Company was capitalized by its parent company JBS S.A. through the capital increase and assignment of its investment in S.A. Fábrica de Produtos Alimentícios Vigor considering the book value of its investment as of December 31, 2011 as the basis of capitalization. Prior to January 17, 2012, the Company had no operations. Thus, the consolidated financial statements referred above do not include the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and value added for the period of 20 days ended in January 20, 2012 because they are identical to their individual financial position.

The accompanying financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

Notes to the financial statements for the period ended on January 20, 2012 and year ended on December 31, 2011

(in thousands of Reais)

 

a) 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.

The Company reviews estimates and underlying assumptions used in its accounting estimates at least on a quarterly basis. 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.

b) 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.

c) Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable correspond to amounts owed by customers in the ordinary course of business of the Company. 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 less any allowance for doubtful accounts when necessary, 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.

d) Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet only when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of these instruments. A financial asset or liability is initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

In case of financial assets and liabilities classified in the category of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are directly posted to profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement of financial instruments occurs at each balance sheet date, according to the rules for each category of financial assets and liabilities: (i) assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, (ii) held to maturity, (iii) loans and receivables (iv) available for sale.

e) Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in an amount considered sufficient by the management to cover probable losses on accounts receivable. The analyzes are made based on historic loss.

The allowance for doubtful accounts expense was 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.

f) 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.

g) Investments

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.

h) Property, plant and equipment

According to IFRS 1/CPC 37 - First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, an entity may elect to measure an item of PP&E at the date of transition to IFRS at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date.

An item is disposed when of there is no future economic benefits resulting from its continued use. 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 Company opted to use the concept of deemed cost.

i) 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 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 years. Reversal of loss on the impairment is recognized directly in the income statement.

j) 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.

k) Trade accounts payable

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

l) 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 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.

m) 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.

n) Contingent assets and liabilities

According to IAS 37/CPC 25 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, 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 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.

o) Loans and financing

Loans and financing 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.

p) Adjustment of assets and liabilities to present value

As provided under IFRS, the Company presents, when applicable, assets and liabilities at present value, according to CPC 12 - Adjustment to present value. The 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.

q) Consolidation

Consolidated financial statements include individual financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and joint controlled entities (proportionally consolidated). 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, its subsidiaries and joint controlled entities (proportionally consolidated) are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are originally prepared in the currency of the country in which they are located and, subsequently, are converted into IFRS and Brazilian 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 for income and expenses when it is appropriate. Exchange gains and losses 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.

r) Foreign currency translation

Function and presentation currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company 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.

New accounting pronouncements from the IASB and IFRIC interpretations have been published and / or reviewed and have the optional adoption in December 31, 2011. The Management assessed the impact of these new pronouncements and interpretations and does not anticipate that its adoption will lead to a significant impact on the annual information of the Company and its subsidiary in the year of initial application. The mains pronouncements and interpretations are presented as follows:

Not yet effective:

 

   

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Classification and measurement - It reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 uses a simplified approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, based on the manner in which an entity manages its financial instruments (business model) and the typical contractual cash flow of financial assets. 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.

 

   

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements - IFRS 11 provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. IFRS 13 supersedes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Ventures, and 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 11.

 

   

IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities - IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiary, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted. 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.

 

   

IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine - IFRIC 20 deals with issues concerning the recognition of production stripping costs as an asset; initial measurement of the assets of removal activity, and subsequent measurement of the assets of removal activity. The effect for financial years beginning on / or after January 1, 2013.

Other improvements to IFRS:

 

   

IFRS 7 – Financial instrument: Disclosures (annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)

 

   

IAS 1 – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012)

 

   

IAS 12 – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

 

   

IAS 19 – Employee benefits (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

 

   

IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

 

   

IAS 28 – Investments in associates (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

The Accounting Pronouncement Committee (CPC) has not yet issued these standards or amendments equivalent to the IFRS mentioned above. The Company does not expect material effects on its financial statements from these new standards.

According to IAS 16/CPC 27 - Fixed Assets, the Company made a review of the useful lives of fixed assets, resulting in different rates of depreciation for each asset, which hinders the disclosure of annual depreciation rate for each group of assets. Because of the above, annually is calculated, for the purpose of disclosure and to provide additional information to readers, the calculation of the weighted average depreciation rates of assets that make up each group.

Goodwill

In the Company refers to assignment of goodwill in S.A Fabrica de Produtos Alimentícios Vigor for capitalization in the Company, in the amount of R$ 860.946.

In the year of 2008, Vigor acquired a 100% interest in Latícinios 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 Vigor, In accordance with CVM Decision No. 565, dated December 17, 2008, and CVM Decision No. 553, dated November 12, 2008, since January 1, 2009 the Company has adopted the criteria of not amortizing goodwill based upon expected future earnings, which is in line with IFRS 3/CPC 15 - Business combination. It should be noted that intangible assets with indefinite useful lives can no longer be amortized according to deliberations and Brazilian accounting practices - IAS 36/CPC 01-Impairment of Assets, thus the “Goodwill arising from expected future profitability,” for accounting purposes, which is not amortized, is subject to annual test for impairment (impairment test) to meet the IAS 36/CPC 01-Impairment of Assets.

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

 

   

Sales Revenue - Revenues are projected from 2012 to 2016 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 Company and, with the historical growth in revenues. In addition, we considered efficiency gains derived from business combinations of synergies and process improvements.

 

   

Capital investment - Investment in capital goods were estimated considering the maintenance of existing infrastructure and expectations required to enable the supply of products.

The key assumptions were based on historical performance of the Company and reasonable macroeconomic assumptions reasoned basis on projections of the financial market, documented and approved by management.

Based on the annual test for impairment of the Company’s intangible assets, prepared based on the projections made on the financial statements of December 31, 2011, growth prospects and then follow the projections and results of operations, there were no indications of possible losses or losses, as the estimated market value is higher than the carrying amount at the valuation date.

The changes in foreign rates can impact in losses to the Company, due to possible assets decrease or increase in the liabilities. The mainly exposure that the Company is subjected, related to exchange variation, refers to US dollars, Euros and Pounds variations against Brazilian reais.

d) Credit risks

Vigor is potentially subject to credit risks related to accounts receivable. 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.

Vigor limits its exposure to credit risk by customer and market, through its department of credit analysis and portfolio management clients. Thus, Vigor seeks to reduce the economic exposure to a particular customer and/or market that may represent significant losses to 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 Vigor that meets regularly with the commercial areas for analysis and control of the portfolio. Historically, there were no significant losses on its accounts receivables.

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.

e) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the management of working capital of the Company and its subsidiaries and amortization of financing costs and principal of the debt instruments. It is the risk that the Company and its subsidiaries will find difficulty in meeting their financial obligations falling due.

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 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 Company and its subsidiaries at levels equal to or less than the leverage ratio that we want to achieve.
