$$/page=

BRF One of the largest protein-based chilled and frozen food producers in the world, BRF was created out of the association between Perdigão and Sadia, the merger of which was announced in 2009 with the signing of the Performance Commitment Agreement (TCD) with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense – the Brazilian anti-trust authority – (Cade) and concluded in 2012. The Company operates in the segments of meats (poultry, pork and beef), processed foods from meat, dairy products, margarines, pastas, pizzas and frozen vegetables and sold under such household names as Sadia, Perdigão, Batavo, Elegê, Qualy, Chester, Perdix, Paty, among others. BRF has more than 3.3 thousand products in its portfolio, 450 of which were launched on the market in 2012. |GRI 2.1, 2.2| BRF operates 50 plants installed throughout Brazil and has a solid domestic distribution network which through 33 distribution centers delivers its products to consumers in 98% of the country. In the overseas market, the Company has nine industrial units in Argentina and two in Europe (the United Kingdom and The Netherlands) and 19 commercial offices for serving clients in more than 120 countries in five continents. In 2012, work began on a new plant in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates - scheduled to be inaugurated in the second half of 2013. The joint venture with Dah Chong Hong Limited (DCH) was also consolidated and now distributes to the Chinese retail and food services sectors. |GRI 2.3, 2.5, 2.7|

The Company’s shares have been listed on the stock exchange for 32 years. Since 2006, BRF has been a component of BM&FBovespa’s Novo Mercado. For eight years now, the corporate commitment to sustainable development has been recognized through inclusion in the Exchange’s Corporate Sustainability Stock Index. The Company is a widely held company, its securities also trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE - ADR level III). One of the largest employers in Brazil, the Company ended the year with a payroll of 109,473 and approximately 20,000 integrated outgrowers. |GRI 2.6, 2.8| The most significant structural change undergone by the Company in 2012 was the full integration of the Sadia subsidiary. The year also saw the complete implementation of the TCD agreed with Cade, resulting in the divestment of assets and the suspension of certain brands. BRF ceded to Marfrig ten food and four animal feed processing plants, two hog and two poultry slaughtering facilities, 12 chicken breeder stock farms, two poultry hatcheries and eight distribution centers. Brands transferred under the agreement were Rezende, Wilson, Texas, Tekitos, Patitas, Escolha Saudável, Light Elegant, Fiesta, Freski, Confiança, Doriana and Delicata. Cade ordered the temporary suspension from three to five years of some categories sold under the Perdigão and Batavo names. |GRI 2.9| In compensation, BRF took control of Quickfood in Argentina, owner of Paty, the leading hamburger brand name in the local market. In expanding its footprint and operations in South America, the company underscored its target of overseas growth and this in conjunction with organic growth in Brazil currently underway, provides the foundations for sustained expansion in line with the objectives of the BRF 15 Strategic Plan.

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT |GRI 1.1| Dear Shareholders, The year will go down in the annals of BRF as the one in which we implemented one of the most complex mergers anywhere in the world - that between Perdigão and Sadia - with the Company embarking on a new cycle. During the year, we complied in full with the agreement signed with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade), the Brazilian anti-trust authority, selling off plants, brands and distribution centers as well as temporarily suspending the use of the Perdigão brand for some product categories. We successfully ended the year by completing the merger process, including the incorporation of Sadia. In the business field, we were faced with an international economic crisis and an unprecedented spike in costs on the back of highly volatile and rising grain prices, characterizing one of the most difficult years for the world animal protein segment. But despite the transfer of assets and the suspension of brands representing about a third of our sales volume to the domestic market, we successfully increased consolidated net sales by 10.9% to R$ 28.5 billion. Adjusted EBITDA reached R$ 2.7 billion, and EBITDA reached R$2.3 billion, while net income totaled R$ 813.2 million, a negative variation of 40.5% over the preceding year. It should be pointed out that in the second half of 2012 following the agreement with CADE, domestic market sales rose 50% on the same comparative basis. This result is a reflection of extremely arduous and consistent work on a process which involved the Company in the implementation of two agendas in parallel: the daily operational routine together with the commitments surrounding the execution of the merger. The result proved a reaffirmation of the capacity of the Company to plan as a critical element in its success and one of its competitive advantages. Since the announcement of the merger, we have reached an average of 30.2% per year in Total Shareholder Return with our market capitalization standing at R$ 36.8 billion, BRF ranking as the 7th largest food company in the world. We experienced a particularly challenging period, executing several hundred projects during the year, this involving the adjustment of plants for the production of product lines displaced due to the transfer of units, new distribution centers and the redesign of the logistics network. At the same time, we continued to focus on innovation, launching more than 454 products, underscoring our presence in the market and receiving the recognition of Forbes magazine as one of the hundred most innovative companies in the world. Emphasis was also given to our internationalization plan, most notably the start on construction of the Abu Dhabi plant to be concluded in 2013. We also consolidated the acquisitions made in Argentina with the merger of three companies, the purchase of the distributor, Federal Foods in the Middle East and the initiation of operations in China through the Dah Chong Hong Limited joint venture. We continue alert to opportunities for strategic acquisitions overseas so that we can evolve towards having our own local activities on the ground rather than being represented through the intermediary of exports only. The efforts to expand internationally have contributed – together with those made in the direction of ramping up organic growth in Brazil - towards building the BRF of our dreams, a world class company with unequaled competitiveness. We reiterate our commitment to sustainability, increasingly part of our culture and our brands, and to progress in all the facets of the business. As a result, we have improved occupational safety indicators with a reduction of 35.6% in accidents involving time off work compared with 2011. Since the inception of the Health, Safety and Environmental Program (SSMA) in 2008, the Company has successfully reduced this accident rate by 77.1%. Underlying this progress is an important cultural change: the individual attitude of our more than 114 thousand employees which make the difference in terms of safety, health and preservation of the environment. We provide employment in the places where people live: 80% of our employees are located in the interior of the country – in addition to the approximately 20 thousand integrated outgrowers with whom we have supply contracts. In this way, BRF brings economic and social development to small municipalities and helps maintain the population rooted in the countryside. Our values are aligned to the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact. We are active on all operating fronts in conjunction with clients, employees, suppliers, government and society for ensuring respect for human and labor rights, protection for the environment and combating corruption. These values are immutable, forming the bedrock of our business and underscoring our ambitions for growth. With the merger now consolidated, we have intensified the focus on the performance of assets through the increase in productivity and efficiency. We are reiterating our objective of being one of the largest food companies in the world, admired for its brand names, its innovative initiatives and its results, capable of maintaining and expanding its position of market leadership. To register this moment, we have adopted a new corporate brand with a new look, highlighting the building of a single company, which has energy, is a protagonist, cultivates relationships and dialog with the world. Our new corporate brand underscores our vocation for bringing lives together. In terms of business, the outlook for 2013 is extremely positive. During the course of the second semester, we undertook some important adjustments to ensure compatibility between the operations and the new reality of costs for the segment. We shall also focus on the synergies to be captured and take full advantage of market opportunities, especially in the sphere of exports which are already showing a gradual and promising recovery and providing the basis for improving margins. Deliveries in 2012 together with those we are preparing for 2013 are absolutely aligned with the BRF-15 strategic plan which is focused on internationalization and the enhancement of the value chain. Finally, we would especially like to thank the unceasing support of our shareholders – instrumental in achieving our strategic objectives – and register our recognition of the effort and competence of our teams in generating results, with the creation of sustainable value for all stakeholders. We are prepared to meet new challenges, identifying the role of each business segment, each product category and each brand. Our strategic focus is a long-term one and we have already begun to discuss our operation in the next decade in a process for outlining a vision of BRF in 2020. Unquestionably, we want to achieve even more.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT |GRI 1.2|
Domestic market
The Company adopts a long-term strategic stance and begins 2013 aligned with the objectives and goals laid out in the BRF15 Strategic Plan to be one of the world’s premier food companies by 2015, admired for its world-class brands, innovation and results. On the cusp of the new cycle, internal discussions are to begin on the BRF 20 Strategic Plan, preparing the Company for the coming decade. All the work done in 2012 laid the foundations for a new cycle that now begins. After consolidating the agenda of obligations and tasks associated with the BRF-Sadia merger, the Company shifts focus to strategies for meeting the existing organic growth plan, including the goal of doubling 2010 sales within five years. It will be a period of slower investments. Although the numbers are not small, the curve will drop in 2013-14. The focus will be on efficiency via increased productivity and the optimization of and return on invested capital, exploiting existing capacity in order to consolidate a globalized BRF with a wide and innovative portfolio of products to satisfy the diverse consumer profiles around the globe. Domestically, the Company will make efforts to identify the role and positioning of each product category. The potential of the Sadia name as an iconic brand will be exploited for its characteristic of vitality and as a source of pleasure and enhancing the concept of sociability. The Perdigão brand, in turn, will be addressed in order to keep it relevant in consumers’ minds, even with the volume loss arising from the agreement with Cade, conveying a sense of caring and protection. Synergic gains are linked to increased productivity and efficiency at a low cost, the result of distribution centers able to operate with the full spectrum of brands, deliveries using the same trucks, and joint bills-of-sale to invoice products from a single legal entity. The cornerstone of internationalization is based on four points: brand, portfolio, progress in distribution and local production, themes that are complementary and directed towards the desired change in the overseas market. Long-term planning will change BRF’s international profile and position it to focus less on commodities and more on processed goods. To this end, strategic moves will be based on acquisitions of processors and distributors in the international market, the construction of factories and the development of products and marketing campaigns for different cultures and tastes, consolidating Sadia as a premium brand.

CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
With ethics, transparency and equitability as the pillars of its corporate governance model, BRF was the first company in the food and beverages industry to adjust to the listing regulations of BM&FBovespa’s Novo Mercado of which it has been a member since April 2006. The Company adheres to best practices: maintaining all its shares as common stock; providing equality of rights; a premium in the event of public offerings of shares and mechanisms for investor protection; relevant decisions must be approved by at least two thirds of the votes of collegiate bodies; shareholders and executives are forbidden to secure advantages arising from access to privileged information; securities trading and material facts disclosure policies; and recognizing arbitration as the fastest and most specialized way to address conflicts of interest. In addition, to prevent stock concentration, any shareholder or group of shareholders who gains control over shares in excess of 20 percent of the total is required to hold a public tender for the acquisition of shares (OPA). |GRI 4.6| The company’s control is widely held and its stock is traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa – BRFS3) and the New York Stock Exchange (Level III ADRs – BRFS). Governance bodies include the General Shareholders Meeting, the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Council which serves as an Audit Committee, Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. |GRI 4.1| A Governance, Sustainability and Strategy Committee in support of the Board of Directors and an Executive Sustainability Committee made up of Vice Presidents evaluate and monitor performance, as well as sustainability-related risks and opportunities. Every three months, results are submitted for approval by the Board of Directors and then publicly disclosed in line with international accounting standards (IFRS). |GRI 4.9| Shareholders meeting – Meetings are the principal means by which shareholders make recommendations to the Company’s management. Attendance is encouraged by directly approaching investors and providing a reference manual that contains general guidance on the process and details on the reasons for the meeting. Shareholders approve financial statements, incorporations and other matters, elect the Board of Administration and the Fiscal Council and set the managers’ compensation, among other topics. |GRI 4.4| Board of Directors – In December, the Board was made up of ten members, seven of whom independent. In line with best governance practices, the Chairman of the Board does not have an executive function. As set forth in the Bylaws, eligibility to Board membership includes aspects such as having an unblemished reputation, not holding positions with competitors or representing conflicting interests. Members of the Board, as well as of the Committees and the Executive Board, are subject to a formal individual performance evaluation tool that includes a 360-degree evaluation and addresses sustainability-related issues. |GRI 4.2, 4.3, 4.7, 4.10|	Committees – The Company has had Advisory Committees accountable to the Board of Directors since 2006. These committees are made up of members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. In 2012, the following committees were active: Governance; Sustainability and Strategies; Finance and Risk Management; Best Practices; and People. |GRI 4.1| The Company also has a Disclosure Committee as called for under Sarbanes-Oxley Act legislation. Rating- The Company has been assigned an Investment Grade rating by Fitch Ratings, Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s agencies. Novo Mercado – BRF signed up to BM&FBovespa’s Novo Mercado on April12, 2006, agreeing to settle disputes through the Market Arbitration Panel pursuant to a commitment clause in its Bylaws and the Novo Mercado’s regulations. Fiscal Council/Audit Committee – Made up of three members, one of whom is a finance expert. The body also carries out the functions of an Audit Committee. It convenes monthly and meets with the Board of Directors as required. Employees and shareholders are able to voice their opinions, complaints, recommendations and allegations (whistle blowing) through the in-house Ombudsman, the Audit Committee being activated if required. The Audit Committee has powers to act independently, at its discretion being able to forward complaints/ allegations to the Internal Audit area to investigate or engage an independent company and if necessary activate the Board of Directors. |GRI 4.4|

$$/page=

$$/page=

Executive Board – Made up of ten members who answer directly to the Board of Directors and are responsible for running the business in full compliance with strategic guidelines as set forth by the Executive Board members and approved by the Board of Directors. Compensation- Members of the Board of Directors and Fiscal Council/Audit Committee receive fixed compensation contingent upon their attendance at meetings. Their compensation was R$ 3.7 million in 2012. Members of the Executive Board earn fixed and variable compensation associated with goals and performance indicators. The Executive Board’s total compensation in 2012 was R$ 29.3 million. Individual and collective goals are based on strategic and budgetary plans and linked to the Company’s and/or the respective operational area’s general productivity indicators, in addition to those of resource and people management optimization, associated with the long-term outlook for the business. |GRI 4.5|

$$/page=

ET HIC AL BEHAVIOR |GRI 4.8| Published at the beginning of 2012, the new BRF Ethics and Code of Conduct is a compendium of best practices inherited from the former Perdigão and Sadia companies clearly explaining the behaviors and attitudes the Company expects from all of its employees. The Code sets forth guidelines for topics such as integrity, ethics and relationships with coworkers, suppliers and customers, among others. Conduct under the Code is expected from all employees, who are trained in anti-corruption practices in the New Employee Induction Program. In addition, whistle blowing policies and a channel for this purpose are available on the Intranet/Internet with Internal Audit in charge of establishing the facts. In 2012, Auditors evaluated 45 percent of the 211 locations (units) identified as showing the highest corruption-related risk. Over the course of the year, non-compliance with corporate policies led to the termination of 45 employees and the discontinuation of business with 13 service suppliers. |GRI SO3, SO2, SO4| HUMAN RIGHTS The Employee Induction Program addresses the subject of human rights as they relate to ethical behavior. In 2012, 36,092 people attended the program (31 percent of all employees), corresponding to a total 12,030 hours dedicated to the subject. Leaders training totaled 780 hours with human rights-related content, where 195 individuals (0.17 percent of the workforce) received instruction on the application of disciplinary measures; labor law; civil, criminal and labor liability of managers; moral and sexual harassment. With the updated Ethics and Conduct Code, the Company held orientation sessions on the new version of the document for 11,186 participants (9 percent of all employees) summing a total of 11,186 hours devoted to the topic. |GRI HR3| R ISK MANAGEMENT |GRI 1.2| The risk management policy is developed in a participative manner that involves all of the Company’s areas, under the lead of a specialized unit. This unit is responsible for providing the entire Company with a risk dashboard to assist in understanding the importance of the factors and the cost of their mitigation. Preventive action involves comprehensively and continuously monitoring factors capable of interfering with business or a ecting results. Following the strengthening of financial and operational aspects, risk management at BRF is now evolving towards a more business and strategy-oriented approach, in a gradual reformulation process, so that factors that are already managed at the sectorial level may be managed in an integrated manner. The objective is to reach the Expanded Corporate Risk Management stage by 2015, with maximum decision-making transparency. The aspects currently regarded as most relevant include: Financial – The Financial Risk Management Committee is responsible for evaluating full compliance with the Financial Risk Management policy and proposing applicable alternatives. In addition, the Committee has the authority to veto proposed operations that it may deem inappropriate to BRF at the time of their evaluation. Supplier chain – In 2012, the Company expanded its Supplier Chain Monitoring Program to identify and mitigate risk controlled by third parties that may influence the business. These factors include, for example, discontinuing relationships with suppliers in breach of human rights or suppliers contributing to deforestation in the Amazon region. Operational – Operational risks at the manufacturing units and distribution centers have been mapped based on 144 risk inspections, complete with determination of impact and probability of occurrence. The Operational Risk Management Project ( “Projeto de Gestão de Risco Operacional” – PGR) was adopted in 2010, and focuses on preventing potential damage to assets, involving several areas. In 2012, the Company installed its Operational Control Center in Curitiba (PR) where employees from di erent areas proactively manage potential issues a ecting operational continuity, productivity and eciency . BRF embraces the Precautionary Principle, according to which the absence of scientific certainty must not be used as justification for failing to prevent serious or irreversible damage to the environment or human health. The principle is observed in the product development, conception, manufacturing and distribution phases. |GRI 4.11| Sanitary control – Permanent updates on practices used in proprietary and integrated outgrowers’ operations, process improvements and a strict industrial operations system comprise the set of steps taken to eliminate or minimize risk of this kind. Slaughtering units are strategically spread across di erent regions in Brazil and abroad to reduce the impacts arising from sanitary issues or eventual international embargoes against imports from any one region. Food safety – Items produced at any unit can be traced from the breeding stock to animal rearing farms through to products distributed to end consumers. This process includes controls on livestock feed and medication and the use of metal detectors and X-ray machines at the plants. All suppliers sign agreements with clauses guaranteeing the safety of the products we market. Commodities – The commodities risk policy is discussed monthly at meetings of the Executive Board meeting and the Financial Risks Committee based on the monitoring of the entire production chain in an attempt to anticipate shifts that may have a positive or negative impact on operation costs. Used to maximum e ect, these strategies mitigated the impact of the rising cost of grains in 2012 to a significant extent. Image and reputation – With a clear image and reputational risk policy adjusted to every business and segment, BRF seeks to maintain its image associated with sound corporate governance and values such as trust, ethics and transparency. Standards for commercial areas also cover relationships with strategic international partners. In addition, the Company acts in all cases where events may expose the Company’s image and its relationship with stakeholders. Environmental – Every manufacturing unit has technical teams specialized in environmental issues and capable of improving procedures as required, as well as to operate correctly and e ectively under emergency circumstances. Legal/Tax – Ethical standards attempt to safeguard the Company from the risk of failure to comply with laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels. In this sense, the Committee permanently monitors any aspects questioned by government authorities, thus reducing the potential for administrative and court claims. Climate change – BRF also takes the impact of climate change into consideration as part of the overall interaction with other business risks. One particular concern relates to the supply of commodities (grains, beef and milk); the availability of water and power; and logistics. To this end, the company adopts preventive practices such as regional procurement, research into new ways of using water, reuse and treatment technologies, power generation, reduced emission of greenhouse gases, verticalization of the supply chain, among others. |GRI EC2|

FINANCIAL AND CONSTRUCTED CAPITAL SECTOR SCENARIO Deceleration was the hallmark of the food industry in 2012, a sector which represents 9% of the country’s GDP. Nominal sales grew 11.3% in Reais, but discounting inflation, growth was 4.96% compared with 5.90% in 2011, according to the Brazilian Food Industries Association (Abia). The indices used to seasonally adjust prices for inflation are the Fipe/USP for industrialized and semi-elaborated foods (70%) and the IPCA/IBGE for away-from- home foods (30%). In accordance with Abia data, nominal sales of meat products expanded by 9.8% and dairy products by 9.9%. Export markets reported a decline – the effect of the international crisis. Exports of processed foods (specialty meats and semi-elaborated) fell by 3.3% – from US$ 44.8 billion in 2011 to US$ 43.4 billion in 2012. Out of total exports, 24% corresponds to high added value industrialized foods.

Brazilian Exports The year 2012 reported a good year-on-year performance for Brazilian exports of beef and pork, albeit for both meats the percentage growth in volume exceeded sales revenue, an indication of the decline in average price. Chicken meat exports in turn recorded a decline in volume and principally revenue. Exports of chicken meat reached 3.92 million tons in 2012, 0.6% below 2011 (3.94 thousand tons). Sales revenue in 2012, US$ 7.70 billion, was 6.7% below the US$ 8.25 billion for 2011. Sales volumes to the African continent reported the strongest growth in 2012 (+20.1% or +100.1 thousand tons year-on-year), the importing countries posting a particularly robust performance being Egypt (+65.6% or +47.3 thousand tons), South Korea (+155.4% or +39.7 thousand tons), China (+16.1% or +31.6 thousand tons) and the United Arab Emirates (+11.4% or +24.4 thousand tons). Despite the good performance in exports to the Arab Emirates, total shipments to the Middle East reported a decline of 1.2% in the full year (-17.1 thousand tons), principally due to the decline in volumes of more than 20% to Kuwait, Iran and Iraq, which together amounted to a drop of 77.3 thousand tons (2012 vs 2011). A similar volume shortfall occurred with Venezuela where Brazilian exports in 2012 recorded a drop of 43.7% (-77.3 thousand tons). Export business with Europe also contributed to a reduction of 8.2% or 40.0 thousand tons in the same period. Shipments of pork amounted to 581.5 thousand tons in 2012, 12.6% up on 2011 while sales revenue posted an increase of 4.2% in the period totaling US$ 1.5 billion. During 2012, the Ukraine became a major market for Brazilian exports with 138.7 thousand tons (+125% or +77.0 thousand tons vs 2011), while business with Russia remained largely stable at close to 127 thousand tons, a growth of 0.5% in the period. Other important destinations were Angola, Uruguay, Singapore, Georgia, China and Bolivia, which together imported an additional 26.0 thousand tons from Brazil in 2012. On the other hand, Argentina was the leading negative performer with a decline of 18.6 thousand tons (-44%) as well as Albania, Venezuela and Hong Kong, each of which registered a decline of 5 thousand tons. Beef exports reached 1.24 million tons in 2012, 13.3% or 146.3 thousand tons up on 2011. Sales revenues reached US$ 5.77 billion in the period, a growth of 7.3%. Egypt, Hong Kong and Chile were leading importers, ramping up volumes by more than 25 thousand tons each. Iran was the principal negative highlight in the year, reducing its imports of beef from Brazil by 48.7% a reduction equivalent to (63.5 thousand tons).

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE Production A total of 5.8 million tons of foodstu s was produced in the year, in volume terms, 0.3% less than reported in 2011. Adjustments were made in the meat production segment in the light of the implementation of the Commitment Agreement Instrument (TCD) and a reduction in dry line dairy products (UHT milk) – a strategic decision in view of the focus on profitability. Production by the Argentine companies Avex and Dánica has been incorporated since January and Quickfood’s output in Argentina has been consolidated since July 2012, and recorded in the Company’s overall numbers for the meats and other processed products segments. A total of 454 new products were launched during the year as part of portfolio expansion, the repositioning of the brands and categories and the creating of added value: Food Service – 82; domestic market – 99; exports – 219; and 54 in the dairy product segment. The principal innovations were made in the lines and brands for Ready-to-Eat Dishes, Pizzas, Meu Menu , Ouro, Breaded Products, Processed Products, Dairy Products, Frozen Vegetables and Margarines. — Production	2012	2011	% Ch.

DOMESTIC MARKET The principal challenge to BRF’s domestic operation in 2012 was to mitigate or minimize the impact of asset sales and the suspension of brands both from the operational point of view as well as from that of restoring the scale of the business. There were other challenges as well: the spike in grain prices with the impact on the cost of production, and the oversupply of finished product due to di erent problems in the export market, among them, Russian restrictions on imports of pork meat for protectionist reasons and excess inventory in Japan. Between asset sales and suspended brands, there was a reduction of a third by volume in the domestic market. The objective of minimizing this impact was achieved: a growth of 9% on the revenues of the 4Q12 compared with 2011, despite taking into account the ceding of R$ 850 million in quarterly sales with respect to our commitment under the TCD agreement. The Company adopted the strategy of using the Sadia brand to recover the scale lost as a result of the suspension of some of the categories under the Perdigão brand, the latter in turn innovating in other categories or in new ones where there was no restriction. A large part of the Company’s success is due precisely to innovation, research and planning. In 2012, 58 innovation projects were developed leading to the launch of 99 new products in the domestic market and accounting for 8.5% of total domestic sales revenue for the year. Among new product launches under the Sadia brand were: pork sausage, pizzas, lasagnas, beef cuts, processed products and ready-to-eat dishes; under the Perdigão brand name: the Sanduba and Meu Menu line; specialty meat and frozen products; and margarines with the relaunch of the Claybon brand.

EXPORTS Export operations reflected the international scenario characterized by excess inventory in the Middle East, Japan and Russia and by the sharp rise in grain prices creating worldwide oversupply and squeezing the Company’s margins – albeit with some recovery in sales, prices and profitability in the last quarter of the year. Exports reached R$ 11.6 billion in the year, a growth of 15.2% in revenues with 9.6% higher volume, totaling 2.5 million tons. Average prices reported a gradual recovery as supply adjusted to demand in the leading markets, rising by 5.1% in local currency terms. However, this proved insucient f or a total recovery in operating margins which declined from 5.5% to 1.6% for the year due to the 8.8% hike in production costs – principally driven by significant increases in the main raw materials and the prevailing conditions in the Company’s principal markets. In the year, BRF recorded progress in its international operations based on its four key pillars of brand, portfolio, advances in distribution logistics and local production. The following initiatives are of note: Argentina – Initiation of a process of consolidation and capture of synergies of five companies through concentration on BRF Argentina, with nine plants and 22 chilled and frozen distribution centers. Work has been accelerated since June when the company took full control of Quickfood, leader in the hamburger market with the Paty brand, as part of the asset exchange agreement. Integrated operations in the Argentine market represented R$ 1.2 billion of sales/year.
Company	Activity
Avex	Slaughter and sale of whole chicken and chicken parts.
Dánica	Leader in margarines, vice leader in sauces, manufacturer of pasta and cooking oil. Has two plants and 22 distribution centers.
Levino Zaccardi	Exports cheeses to Brazil. Has a plant.

Middle East – Start of work on the construction of a processed foods plant in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) with inauguration scheduled for 2013. The first to be built outside Brazil, the unit will have a capacity to produce approximately 80 thousand tons per year of breaded products, hamburgers, pizzas and specialty meats products. A 49% stake in Federal Foods was also acquired, a company which for more than 20 years has distributed products under the Sadia brand name in the region. The company has six branches in the United Arab Emirates and one in Qatar, serving two thousand points of sale. The company also distributes Hilal and Perdix brands. Europe – A new high productivity line was installed at Plusfood with technological improvements and a 75% expansion in production capacity to 20 thousand tons annually of breaded, cooked and grilled chicken products as well as hamburgers and other items. China – A company was constituted with Dah Chong Hong Limited (DCH) for the distribution of the Sadia brand to the retailing and food services segments in Hong Kong and Macau. The joint venture is responsible for BRF’s businesses in the Chinese market including the Perdix brand and all the Company’s operations - for which DCH’s existing storage, sales and distribution infrastructure will be used. During the year, feasibility studies were initiated for building a processing plant in China using raw material imported from Brazil or acquired locally.

DAIRY During the year, the Company repositioned the Batavo and Elegê brands, investing in new packaging to communicate the new concepts of the product lines in a more ecient w ay. Another initiative which gained traction was the ‘Cheese you ask by the brand and it’s Sadia’ (Queijo se pede pela marca, e é Sadia) marketing campaign. The objective is to reinforce BRF’s presence, expanding its market share of higher value-added products such as processed and refrigerated items. The Company ended 2012 as the third largest dairy products manufacturer in Brazil with a 10.5% share of domestic business in the segment. In line with Mundo Batavo guidelines, the brand adopted the ‘Thinking about your nature’ (Pensado para sua natureza) signature. This is printed on the packages and conveys the concept of a sustainable waste-free world with attributes of wellbeing, balance and nature, proposing solutions for the life of the modern man. The entire project is focused on innovation. The Pense Zero line added functional products to the yogurts line such as Bio Fibras. With the launch of the Pedaços line (with fruit chunks), a yogurt with up to ten times more fruit than similar products in the market, the brand reported a 3.3 percentage points growth by volume in the cups category between April and November (Nielsen data). With the Elegê brand, restyled packaging helps disseminate the new brand slogan: One gesture, two smiles (Um gesto, dois sorrisos) . On the back of the packages are stories of a ection and on the side, there is space where consumers can leave messages. Market leader in various categories in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro, BRF is now seeking to expand and strengthen the brand’s footprint throughout the country. For example, the strategy includes the launch of products customized to habits of the Northeast Region such as milk-based drinks in sachets. Revenue from milk products amounted to R$ 2.7 billion, a growth of 6.9% with volumes 0.7% down and average prices 7.7% higher while average costs rose 7.6%. The operating margin recovered from a 1% decline in profitability in 2011 to stability in 2012 The major challenge in 2012 was to fully integrate the dairy products business into BRF’s operational structure. The capture of synergies will benefit production and this process should be complete by the end of 2014, involving: distribution centers, and sales, technical and management teams; definition of the optimum size of the business prioritizing results; improving execution and growth in a sustainable manner.

E CONOMIC-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Net Operating Sales BRF reported net operating sales of R$ 28.5 billion in the year, a growth of 10.9% the result of organic growth, the incorporation of companies acquired in Argentina, more especially Quickfood, and an expanded portfolio thanks to innovation with the launch of various products and categories designed to cushion the impact of asset transfers in 3Q12 in accordance with the agreement signed with Cade (TCD). Cost of Sales (CPV) Cost of sales rose 15.8% year-on-year to R$ 22.1 billion, reporting an increase proportionally greater than sales revenue, squeezing margins during the year. The principal impacts on costs of products sold were: 1) the significant increase in the cost of the principal raw materials – corn and soybeans due to failure in the American grain crop; 2) readjustments in the industry as a whole as a result of collective wage bargaining; 3) an increase in items restated against the foreign exchange rate such as: packaging, freight, vitamins; 4) temporary spike in production costs due to the breakup of certain parts of the Company with the implementation of the TCD process. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross Profit amounted to R$ 6.5 billion, a 3.1% reduction in the year with a gross margin 3.3 percentage points lower than reported for 2011, declining from 25.9% to 22.6%. In spite of the positive commercial performance in sales, margins remained under pressure from rising costs. Operating Expenses Thanks to e orts to reduce overall expenses, BRF was able to maintain operating expenses at the same level as 2011 at 16.5%. Commercial expenses increased 12.5%, reflecting the growth of variable expenses due to: 1) investments in the development of new lines and products (innovation), product launches and marketing campaigns; 2) an increase of operations in the logistics chain, which was also significantly impacted by the TCD process (transfer of assets and repositioning of the portfolio and distribution channels); 3) port and truck driver strikes. Administrative expenses and fees fell 8.9% due to the simplification of the administrative structure of the relationship between BRF and its subsidiaries and the lower disbursements of consultancy fees in the quarter (in 2011, there were significant payments to consultancies advising the Company in its negotiations with CADE for approving the merger).

Other Operational Expenses Despite the pre-operational phase of the new industrial units, insurance claims, provisions for tax risks, results of TCD-related divestments, the other operational expenses item posted a decline of 5.4% in the year due to revenues from the reversal of provisions, recovery of expenses and leasing with third parties. Expenses with profit sharing are also booked under this item and recorded a decline as a reflection of the operating results. Operating result before financial expenses and operating margin In the light of the above explanations, the operating result before net financial expenses reached R$ 1.4 billion in the year –30.6% down in relation to the operating margin of 4.9% of net sales against 7.8%. The 2.9 percentage point decrease is due to a combination of factors during the year of a one-off nature such as: inflated inventories in the Japanese market; pressure on variable commercial costs and expenses; and extraordinary expenses due to the transitory process of transferring assets in accordance with the provisions of the TCD. Financial result Net financial expenses totaled R$ 570.6 million, a 19.0% increase, especially due to higher debt levels as a result of the currency effect and the need to allocate cash to support investments in Capex and working capital, the result of reduced cash generation in the period. In the light of the high level of exports, the Company conducts operations with the specific purpose of currency hedging. In accordance with hedge accounting standards (CPC 38 and IAS 39), the Company uses financial derivatives (for example: NDF) and non-derivative financial instruments (for example: foreign currency debt) for hedge operations and concomitantly, to eliminate the respective unrealized foreign exchange rate variations from the income statement (under the Financial Expenses line). The use of non-derivative financial instruments for foreign exchange cover, continues to permit a significant reduction in the net currency exposure in the balance sheet, resulting in substantial benefits through the matching of currency liability flows with export shipments and therefore contributing to a reduction in the volatility of the financial result. On December 31, 2012, the non-financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting for foreign exchange cover amounted to USD 614 million, and a proportional reduction in book currency exposure of the same value. In addition, the financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting according to the concept of a cash flow hedge for coverage of highly probable exports, totaled USD 1,007 million + EUR 197 million + GBP 53.4 million and also contributed directly to the reduction in currency exposure. In both cases, the unrealized result for foreign exchange rate variation was booked to shareholders’ equity, thus avoiding the impact on the Financial Expenses. The Company’s net debt was R$ 7 billion, 29.7% more than reported for December 31, 2011, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio (last twelve months) of 2.6 times with a book currency exposure of US$ 411.6 million, a 12.5% decline. Income Tax and Social Contribution Income tax and social contribution totaled a positive R$ 2.4 million in the year against a negative R$ 156.5 million reported in 2011 due to the differences in tax rates on the results of overseas subsidiaries and foreign exchange variation on overseas investments. This deterioration is a combination of reductions interest due to the results of the overseas subsidiaries and payment of on equity before the provision for tax losses as a result of the incorporation of Sadia recorded in 2011. Participation of non-controlling shareholders The result of R$ 7.4 million negative against R$ 2.3 million positive in 2011 recorded for this item reflects the consolidation of results of the subsidiaries acquired in Argentina through Avex and, as from 3Q12, the incorporation of the results of Quickfood plus those of the Al Wafi and Plusfood subsidiaries, among others. Net Income and Net Margin In the light of the foregoing, the net income was R$813.2 million in 2012 with a net margin of 2.9%, a decline of 40.5% compared with 2011 due to the squeeze on margins during the year from production costs which reported a proportionally greater increase than revenues. EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA (operating cash generation) reached R$ 2.7 billion, a 17.4% decline, recording an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.4% against 12.6% in 2011, down by 3.2 percentage points. EBITDA reached R$ 2.3 billion in 2012 (18.7% lower than 2011), with EBITDA margin of 8.2% against 11.2% in 2011.

Built in the city of Jundiaí (SP), in the same complex already occupied by a distribution center and a laboratory, the research facility houses the activities previously carried out at the Vieira (SC) and Concórdia (SC) centers. Concentration in a single site will bring synergies to research and development activities as will the single team of 250, facilitating interaction with the marketing teams based at the São Paulo headquarters. The center has physical-chemical and microbiological laboratories as well as those for sensorial analysis, materials and packaging in addition to eight experimental kitchens. There are also facilities for developing and testing food service products. Another highlight in 2012 was the implementation of a unified Information Technology system at all units so that activities and processes may now operate under the same management and procedures model. Production structure – The operational structure is distinguished by the geographic location of its production units, which, in line with the agreement with Cade and the implementation of a unified manufacturing management model, mark the beginning of a new phase of optimized production capacity. The new model was responsible for defining and implementing identical procedures and practices for all operations and will be replicated in the dairy products area during 2013. The high level of automation at our plants and our skilled labor force are additional competitive advantages, further improved in 2012 with the introduction of new technology intended to automate repetitive processes. Logistics and distribution network – BRF’s supply chain is one of the largest operations of its kind among Brazilian companies. Products are shipped from 52 units in 11 states and are distributed to 150 thousand points of sale across Brazil. The physical distribution matrix and the production system are synchronized such that production is able to meet demand in terms of quantity, quality and range of orders. Logistics is responsible for making deliveries at the precise place and time agreed. BRF employs practically every mode of transportation to get its products to the points of sale. In the domestic market, most of the cargo is shipped by trucks of various sizes (an outsourced fleet of 8 thousand vehicles) and rail although there was an increase in the use of coastal shipping in 2012. Distribution will become even more synergistic and ecient in 2013 with deliv eries of all segments and brands made possible from a single truck and also as a result of the integration of warehouses. Internationally, the development of the distribution network is a challenge. In 2012, progress was made in distribution in Saudi Arabia: with the incorporation of the joint venture partner responsible for importing and distributing our products in the local market, BRF gained more than 2 thousand points of sale. Again, in May 2012 the joint venture in Asia also helped boost retail and food service distribution in Hong Kong, Macao and Continental China. Human capital – All employees at BRF are critical to the Company’s expansion and consolidation process and regarded as its most important intangible asset. With a team of experienced, professional executives, the Company maintains training courses that include a leadership program which serves as a forum for the exchange of experiences. Although employee profiles change from one job position to another, our human capital is made up of people who are aligned with the Company’s values, adaptable to a constantly changing arena and committed to the results and goals set out in the BRF 15 Plan. Management – BRF’s management model focuses on planning and is aligned with the best transparency practices in the market. Its main distinction lies in the ability to execute and maintain operations under complex scenarios. The major work done in 2012 to comply with the conditions in the agreement with Cade is proof of the Company’s managerial efficiency.

HUMAN CAPITAL With its focus on the performance of people, BRF is constantly analyzing the market scenario, adapting to tendencies and implementing improvements in programs and processes. In 2012, the Company prioritized alignment and standardization to ensure that employees at all levels are in harmony with the BRF Culture so that development can proceed in accordance with the BRF15 strategic plan. The Company is a major employer in the agro-industrial sector – more than 80% of its employees are located in small cities –, driving local economies and collaborating with the development of society. The corporate culture’s values and mission are beginning to be disseminated outside Brazil in line with BRF’s internationalization thus preparing the Company’s executives to operate in an intercultural environment. BRF’s human capital incorporates a universe of more than 120 thousand people, between direct and outsourced employees. The Company adopts a policy of internal recruiting and the selection process is decentralized through the individual units. The principal purpose is to attract, select and direct manpower in accordance with its profile and potential, hiring those aligned with BRF’s values. The practice is to prioritize candidates originating from the location where there is a vacancy. The targets for internal recruitment in 2012 for leadership posts were maintained, 84% of all vacancies being filled by candidates from among the Company’s employees – an advance in relation to the 78% for 2011. |GRI EC7|

SOCIAL CAPITAL BRF periodically engages its stakeholders for reviewing its sustainability programs and actions. In 2012, it ran panels with key stakeholder representatives (shareholders, clients, consumers, sector entities, specialists, suppliers, employees, media, academia and NGOs) to identify the principal interests and concerns. A total of 81 people were involved – 28 company leaders and 53 representatives of external stakeholder groups with a specific panel for suppliers. The purpose was to evaluate the relevance of themes involving changes that have taken place in the relationship and involvement for joint action in the challenges of sustainability facing the Company, using its Sustainability Pillars as framework. |GRI 4.14, 4.15, 4.16|

VALUE C HAIN In 2012, BRF expanded its initiatives under the Supply Chain Monitoring Program. The aim is to identify and minimize the principal social and environmental risks by reducing impacts, developing new operational opportunities, disseminating sustainability and improving the relationship with suppliers on six fronts: beef, grains/meal/oil, logistics, ranching, supplies and dairy products. The Program’s focus was on the training and raising the awareness among negotiators and suppliers of the standards of sustainability. Participants are able to understand the details and targets for meeting the requirements of the Program, involving the signature to the Code of Conduct, the execution of socio-environmental evaluations and audits. These actions cover 50% of the negotiators in the supplies and grains, meal and oils departments, a total of 90 people, and should reach 100% of the group in 2013. The Company began disseminating the Code of Conduct for Suppliers in early 2012 to reiterate the commitment to responsible management and sustainability. The document was sent to 893 suppliers and, by the end of December, 209 (10% of suppliers) had returned the Instrument of Awareness and Agreement. The self-evaluation questionnaire was sent to 232 suppliers of which 162 replied to the socio- environmental questions (such as the combat of child or forced labor, freedom of association and correct environmental management). The target for 2013 is to have a 60% acceptance rate among critical suppliers for the Code of Conduct As a practice, BRF does not enter relationships with suppliers that do not comply with the minimum standards of human rights (child or forced labor), labor rights (freedom of association) and respect for the environment. In 2012, none of these risks was identified in the Company’s operations although there were some cases where contracts were terminated with suppliers (integrated outgrowers, suppliers of grains, meal and oil and freight services) not in compliance with a given item of the Procurement Policy (example: absence of an environmental license). |HR5, HR6, HR7, GRI FP1| The principal highlights on the labor front in 2012 were: Logistics – Expansion of the Occupational Health, Security and Environment Program for transportation companies. This initiative is developed through the Excellence in Logistics Program with the objective of promoting logistics chain sustainability. Standards are monitored using the Suppliers Integrated Management system, which classifies and awards partners on the basis of the criteria of quality, cost competitiveness, sustainability of the business and care with people and the environment. As part of the commitment under the In the Right Direction Program against sexual exploitation of children and adolescents on Brazilian highways, 1,050 outsourced drivers and assistants were trained to become protection agents and co-responsible in the elimination of the problem. Ranching – More than 800 agricultural extension agents periodically evaluate and guide conditions at the integrated outgrowers and at third parties on the care taken with animal production and slaughter of poultry. In 2012, the Suppliers Code of Conduct was included as an attachment to the integrated outgrowers production contracts and implemented at all producers where hogs are reared through to the final slaughtering phase (approximately 4.5 thousand producers). The target is to extend the Code of Conduct to the other animal categories by December 2013. Beef Cattle – Technical personnel addressed and visited more than 300 producers in the state of Mato Grosso providing guidance on procedures for maintaining high levels of quality and compliance with all legal requirements. Grains, meal and oil – Given the use of family labor in agriculture, all contracts carry specific clauses on the requirement not to employ those under the age of 18 or maintain any working condition which does not comply with the prevailing legislation. Supplies – In 2012, two procurement negotiators training programs were o ered to 44 employees, for presenting BRF’s Sustainability Management strategy and the Suppliers Monitoring Program. In 2013, onsite audits of suppliers are scheduled. Dairy Products – Pilot project at 32 properties, the Good Practices on the Farm Program evaluates quality, sustainability and human rights aspects such as child and forced labor. The Company plans to expand the program to its remaining milk producers.

BRF recognizes the benefits to be had in purchasing from locally- based suppliers, such as reduction of transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions as well as enhanced integration with the community. Consequently, local purchasing is prioritized although there is no specific policy to this end. |GRI EC6|

RE SPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRODUCT The Company understands its responsibility in offering safe and healthy food and consequently conducts research, the latter continually responsible for adjusting the product portfolio to world tendencies in health and wellbeing. The assessment of the impact on consumer health and nutritional safety involves the conception of all products and extends through to the production phases, packaging and storage. Laboratory analyses are instrumental in ensuring products comply with prevailing legislation and internal standards. |GRI PR1| BRF works with the Brazilian Food Industries Association (Abia) in discussing pertinent and strategic themes for the sector such as the amounts for reducing the content of sodium, saturated/trans fats, total fats and carbohydrates (total sugars) in processed foods/industrialized meats and dairy products. The entity has already signed agreements and commitments with the Ministry of Health for reducing trans fats (in 2008) and salt/sodium (in 2010). Gradually, di erent sectors of the industry are preparing proposals for reducing sodium content, in the case of the margarine and vegetable cream category, this taking place in 2012 – the theme was also the subject of discussion in the context of meat- and milk-based products. The total fat and sodium content such as saturated and trans fats in several of BRF’s products has either been eliminated or reduced. Among the projects where sodium has been reduced are Sadia Smoked Bologna Sausage, Sadia Escondidinho (meat and chicken flavors) and Salami for the Subway chain (Food Services). Other products have also been developed with 0% trans fats and a reduced salt content – such as Perdigão Maionese (light and traditional). In dairy products, in 2012, sucrose in the Batavo yogurt cups line was substituted by fructose. |GRI FP6| Labeling on all products carries complete information on nutritional values, composition, conservation instructions and traceability as well as citing ingredients classified as allergenic. |GRI PR3, FP8| The year was also one of product launches focused on consumers in the C and D social groupings with a popular line in frankfurters under the Perdigão label. In the milk products area, the highlight was the fermented Elegê Batmilk beverage in sachets of 900g (with a focus on the Northeast of Brazil). |GRI FP4| As for products with more nutritive ingredients, in 2012, the Company launched new nutritionally balanced ready-to-eat and quick preparation dishes in addition to whole wheat lasagnas with less fat and more fiber. In the food services, a new type of bread was launched for the Subway network with the addition of cereals – such as oatmeal, rye, barley, flaxseed – and honey.	% products with ingredient	Improvements /

¹ Fibers, vitamins, minerals, phytochemical and functional data applies only to products with sales in 2012. Note: For BRF, the definition of a food additive is identical to that of Anvisa (the Brazilian Food and Drug Administration): all and any ingredient added intentionally to foods with no nutritional purpose with the objective of modifying the physical, chemical, biological or sensorial characteristics, during the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packaging, storage, warehousing, transportation or handling. (Ordinance SVS/MS 54 of October 27, 1997). Recycling One of the principal challenges for Brazilian industry is to make adjustments for the new National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) which sets a 22% target for the country as the reduction in the percentage of recyclable dry waste sent for disposal in landfills by 2015. This is a critical issue for BRF due to the complexity of the actions required and the size of the supply and distribution chain. Having in mind the national target, in 2012, the Company took part in discussions on a proposal for a sector agreement on PNRS with the principal initiatives which should be contained in the final document. The text was prepared within the scope of the Business Coalition made up of 27 associations (of industries, commercial wholesalers and retailers as well as packaging manufacturers) and coordinated by the Business Commitment for Recycling (Cempre). The Coalition aims to work jointly through synergies in the business sector to obtain the best results in relation to the increase in percentages recycled in Brazil and to meet PNRS targets |GRI SO5|

S OCIETY |GRI SO1| BRF’s social initiatives in 2012 focused on the development of the communities in which it is inserted – a reflection of the Company’s concern for promoting transformational initiatives which have continuity. Key to this activity was the work of 33 Social Investment and Community Relations committees. Made up of about 400 employees, these committees mapped the priorities for each region to ensure that partners, investors and community are fully integrated. In the Company’s view, this is a strategic process along which three types of resources are invested: volunteer workers, financial injections and training. BRF has invested approximately R$ 4.7 million in the BRF Institute, more than 50% being directed to the beneficiary communities. The year was marked by the consolidation of the strategy for social investment, symbolized by the formal launch of the BRF Institute. This established a methodology for action divided into four fronts – Public Policies, Entrepreneurship & Employability, Inter-sector Networks and the Third Sector. Transversal to these work fronts is the support of the BRF Volunteers Program. Direct investment of more than R$ 2 million was expanded to 37 municipalities, 10 more than 2011, benefiting more than 29 thousand people. For 2013, the target is to expand the Institute’s footprint in four new municipalities where BRF has operations and upgrade the instruments and methodology for the qualitative and quantitative measurement of the impacts. Inter-sector networks – The front involves two programs: Active Community with about 50 partners executing 29 development projects in districts where there are BRF units, benefiting more than 15 thousand people; and Protection Links ( Laços de Proteção ), which ran four training sessions on the prevention, identification and handling situations of domestic and sexual violence against children and adolescents for 300 educators and the Rights Guarantee System. This program is being o ered in Vitória de Santo Antão and Bom Conselho (PE) in partnership with the Brazil Childhood Foundation. Third sector – In 2012, BRF launched the Inspire Program following a commitment made by the Company in 2011. The aim is to underscore the strategic role of social organizations in the promotion of local development in 23 municipalities. Some 150 social organizations have enrolled in the selection process and up to 75 will receive training in 2013 through five onsite workshops and systemic virtual monitoring in order to incorporate financial sustainability strategies. Public policies – In view of the importance of the role of the public-private partnership in the development of public policies for promoting sustainability, during 2012, the Company finalized two projects for upgrading public education: Concórdia Digital for the inclusion of computer skills in the curriculum of the public educational network of the city of Concórdia (SC) and responsible for the graduation of 18 teachers as multipliers; and Educate is to Care ( Educar é Cuidar ) in Buriti Alegre (GO) for upgrading infant teaching in the town. At the end of 2012, the Company also began a partnership with the Sustainable Cities Program for launching an online platform in 2013 in support of signatory cities for implementing and upgrading sustainability indicators in public management. Entrepreneurship and employability – This focuses on two projects. The first is the Digital Station ( Estação Digital ) for basic computer courses for young people from Bom Conselho (PE), which had its scope expanded in 2012 including intermediate information technology and IT for adults courses with a total of 278 students in 26 groups. The courses have the support of the Municipality, the Banco do Brasil Foundation and Oi Futuro. The second is Time for Entrepreneurship ( Tempo de Empreender ) which has been implemented (in its final phase) in Lucas do Rio Verde (MT) in partnership with the Camargo Corrêa Institute, Sebrae and local partners through the creation of business incubators for young people. BRF Volunteers – Central to the program’s methodology is a mapping process to identify the potential and needs of municipalities as well as possible partners and organizations. In 2012, the second year of the program, approximately 14 thousand people and 66 organizations in 35 municipalities benefited from the program. About 2.7 thousand volunteers took part in 160 initiatives, 80% of them related to the environment (focus on selective collection and solid waste), education, citizenship, social welfare and organizational management.

SPORTS PLATFORM BRF’s sports platform is based on two pillars: participation and high performance through sponsorships under the Sadia brand granted to confederations, athletes and events. Of Brazil’s 17 medal winners at the London Olympics, four were to sportsman belonging to confederations which receive sponsorship money from Sadia such as judo and swimming. A further three were awarded to athletes sponsored directly by Sadia. The BRF Institute supports the Lançar-se para o Futuro Institute which fosters the practice of athletics as a way of promoting the development of children and young people. BRF also supports the development of high performance young athletes, part of the Lançar-se para o Futuro Institute.	Brazilian Medalists — Athlete	Type of Sport	Medal

NATURAL CAPITAL The management of BRF’s natural capital is concentrated on issues related to the ecosystems and the healthy use of natural resources which include water, land, minerals and forests. During the course of the year, the Company was a party to the discussion of the sector agreement for the implementation of National Solid Waste Policy through its participation in the Business Coalition coordinated by the Business Commitment for Recycling (Cempre). ( More information in Responsibility for the Product ) The Company has structured a selective waste collection system for the new administrative building in Curitiba (PR) and at the head oc e in São Paulo (SP), further enhancing its operations in this area. The ‘Recycle your Ideas’ in-house campaign was another initiative in 2012 for raising the awareness of employees as to the importance of recycling and rational consumption. A recycling standard has been created for the administrative buildings with the purpose of raising awareness for the need to change habits both in and outside the home. Two new constructions finished during the year (the administrative building in Curitiba and the Jundiaí Technology Center) adopt the technical concepts and criteria of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system. Among the features of the new buildings, of particular note are the use of natural light, reuse of water and energy-saving technologies. Another important initiative is the Renewable Forests Program, which is designed to increase forest productivity reducing the need for the cultivated area to supply biomass as an energy source for the industrial area, with a consequent reduced impact on the ecosystem.

GHG EMISSIONS Although it has published its GHG emissions since 2009, BRF now considers 2011 as the baseline year for its inventory. Based on the 2011 inventory, it has structured the indicator for evaluating the performance of its activities, setting out its commitments and reduction targets. The Company received the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Program’s (GHG Protocol Brazil) Gold Seal following verification by a third party. BRF used a more complete methodology in 2012 to compile its inventory based on an integrated database for operations in Brazil. As a result, the evaluation is more precise, permitting results and variations to be visualized by area, operational unit, source of emissions, fuel types, etc. The measurement of agricultural waste was also refined. The incorporation of Sadia and the sale of assets following the agreement with Cade have also meant the need to recalculate the GHG inventory, justifying the lower volumes in 2011 in relation to 2010. The carbon intensity ratio for the year 2011 was 53.55 kg CO 2 e/ ton produced. The target is to reduce the intensity of BRF’s direct carbon emissions (scope 1) by 10% by 2015 using the 2011 inventory as a base. For this purpose, the following commitments were adopted: Energy eciency with a priorit y for renewable sources and an incentive for the rational use of resources; Development of new technologies, products and processes with low environmental impact; projects involving new enterprises which use sustainable concepts (management of waste and energy efficiency); Dissemination of good practices and actions for reducing GHG emissions along the value chain; Transparency and disclosure of the results for emissions verified by a third party (scopes 1 and 2).

CONSUMPTION OF RESOURCES Materials In 2012, the Company used 11.2 million tons of grains and derivatives, all of it received in bulk. All purchased products underwent processing (meal and corn into animal protein; oils into animal protein and margarine; soybeans into meal and soybean oil) thus not permitting calculation of direct inputs in the final product. By the nature of the products and due to a question of food safety, the use of recycled raw material is restricted to secondary packaging – where there is no contact with foodstuffs – and material for office use and merchandising. |GRI EN1, EN2| Inputs and packaging materials (tons) – 2012 |GRI EN1|		Paper for office use	87%

EFFLUENT AND WASTE
Water
During the year, water consumption fell by 1.7%, equivalent to more than 1 billion liters. These savings were due to the implementation of efficiency projects at several units for reducing consumption such as the substitution of equipment for others that are more productive as well as the development of new production technologies and reuse – which increased 1.5% compared with 2011. In 2013, the target is to keep the level of reuse above the 20% mark. |GRI EN8, EN10|	The Company uses 22 sources of surface withdrawal, 5 of them with a percentage withdrawal of more than 5%. In the majority of cases, almost 95% of water withdrawn is returned to the originating water sources after waste water treatment. The quality of the water which is disposed is better than the quality of river water from which it is extracted. |GRI EN9|

In 2012, the Company began a corporate project for reducing the level of organic waste emanating from the plants. The aim is to achieve a minimum loss of products during the slaughtering and industrialization processes, thus reducing the generation of waste. The target for 2013 is to reduce by 2% (in weight) total generated waste. |GRI EN22| Innovation in animal husbandry department also works towards the reduction of effluent volume. The new technological standard for raising hogs has diminished the generation of liquid manure by 35% not to mention the resulting potential for reducing water consumption. In 2012, 280 tons of Health Service Waste (RSS) was collected at the integrated properties and correctly sent for treatment. In addition, based on the information raised during the Life Cycle Analysis project, it has been possible to diagnose where the impacts on the value chain are, identifying the actions needed for expanding the efficiency of the processes and reducing the negative impact on the environment. |GRI EN26| Effluent disposal (m 3 ) |GRI EN21|				Waste by type and disposal method |GRI EN22|	2010 (%)	2011 (%)	2012 (%)	2012 (t)

Notifications resulted in two warnings and a Conduct Adjustment Agreement with payment of a fine in the amount of R$ 555,991.31. Occurrences involved environmental accidents, non-conformities at waste water treatment plants, degradation of the environment and the absence of a license. There were two events in the judicial sphere, one of them resulting in an agreement with the payment of an insignificant amount (R$ 2,488.00). Over the years under review, BRF paid fines in the amount of R$ 12,909.76.

The Company owns 50% of the equity interest of the JV and involves a total shared investment of R$50,000 utilizing Carbery’s innovative technology to process whey generated by BRF’s cheese operations. The project includes the construction of a manufacturing plant to produce high added value nutritional ingredients, which are mainly used by baby food and nutritional sports customers. The construction of the plant is expected to commence in 2013 and the beginning of its operations is planned for 2014. 1.5. Acquisition of assets related to integration, production and slaughter of porks – DOUX On November 7, 2012, the Company established an agreement with CADE aiming the creation of the rules for the assets related to integration, production and slaughter of porks from Doux, located in the City of Ana Rech, State of Rio Grande do Sul, pledged to BRF during the year of 2011, according to note 6.4 of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 disclosed on March 22, 2012, to have their property transferred to third parties through an extrajudicial auction. This agreement was necessary to allow the execution of the guarantees offered by Doux in consideration to the advances made by BRF which were not settled yet. On December 31, 2012, such advances totaled R$191,514, and were accounted for as other rights in non-current assets. In addition, the agreement establishes the limits for the use of such assets by BRF, as well as authorizes the Company to take all necessary measures to recovery these advances.

2. MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company’s consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil which comprise the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”) and the pronouncements and interpretations of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), which are in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company’s individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and for presentation purposes, are identified as “BR GAAP”. Such information differs from IFRS in relation to the evaluation of investments in associates and joint ventures, which were measured and recorded based on the equity accounting method rather than at cost or fair value, as is required by IFRS. The Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as, the amount of other currencies disclosed in the financial statement, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands. The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosures of contingent liabilities, as of the reporting date of these financial statements. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could lead to results requiring a material adjustment to carrying amount of the affected asset or liability in future periods. The settlement of the transactions involving such estimates can result in amounts significantly different from those recorded in the financial statement due to the lack of precision inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis. The individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the historical cost except for the following material items recognized in the balance sheet:

$$/page=

days or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to immaterial risk of change in value. The investments classified in this group, due to their nature, are measured at fair value through the statement of income and will be utilized by the Company in a short period of time. 3.5. Financial instruments: financial assets and liabilities are recorded on the date they are delivered to the Company (settlement date) and classified based on the purpose for which they were acquired, being divided into the following categories: financial investments, loans, receivables, derivatives and other. 3.5.1 Financial investments are financial assets that comprise public and private fixed-income securities, classified and recorded based on the purpose for which they were acquired, in accordance with the following categories: • Trading securities: acquired for sale or repurchase in the short term, initially recorded at fair value and its variations, with a corresponding entry directly recorded in the statement of income for the year within interest income or expense; • Held to maturity: when the Company has the intention and financial ability to hold them up to maturity, the investments are recorded at amortized cost, plus interest, monetary and exchange rate changes, when applicable, and recognized in the statement of income when incurred, within interest income or expense; and • Available for sale: this category is for all the financial assets that are not classified as any of the categories above, which are measured at fair value, with variations recorded in the shareholders’ equity within other comprehensive income while the asset is not realized, net of taxes. Interest, inflation adjustments and exchange rate changes, when applicable, are recognized in the statement of income when incurred within interest income or expense. 3.5.2 Derivatives measured at fair value: derivatives that are actively traded on organized markets, and their fair value is determined based on the amounts quoted in the market at the balance sheet date. These financial instruments are designated at initial recognition, classified as other financial assets and/or liabilities, with a corresponding entry in the statement of income within ‘Finance income or costs’ or ‘Cash flow hedge’, which are recorded in equity net of taxes. 3.5.3 Hedge transactions: the Company utilizes derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, as disclosed in note 4, to hedge the exposure to exchange rate and interest variations or to modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, transactions highly probable and which are: (i) highly correlated to changes in the market value of the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the term of the contract (effectiveness between 80% and 125%); (ii) supported by documents that identify the transaction, the hedged risk, the risk management process and the methodology used to assess effectiveness; and (iii) are considered as effective in the mitigation of the risk associated with the hedged exposure. The accounting follows the CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, which allows the application of the hedge accounting methodology with the effects of the measurement at fair value recognized in equity and the realization in the statement of income under a caption corresponding to the hedged item. Hedges that meet the criteria for accounting are recorded as cash flow hedge. In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly in equity as other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized immediately as financial income or expense. When the documented strategy of the Company’s risk management for a particular hedge relationship excludes from the assessment of hedge effectiveness a specific component of gain or loss or the related cash flows of the hedge instrument, this excluded component of the gain or loss is immediately recognized in the financial result. The amounts registered as other comprehensive income are immediately transferred to the statement of income when the hedged transaction affects the statement of income, for example, when the forecasted revenue in foreign currency occurs. If the occurrence of the forecasted transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected, the amounts previously recognized in equity are transferred to the statement of income. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its classification as a hedge is revoked, the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income remain deferred in equity as other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction or firm commitment affect the statement of income. 3.5.4 Loans and receivables: these are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments which are not quoted on an active market. Such assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost under the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. 3.6. Adjustment to present value: the Company and its subsidiaries measure the adjustment to present value of outstanding balances of other non-current rights, trade payables, social obligations and other non-current obligations. The Company adopts the weighted average of the cost of funding on the domestic and foreign markets to determine the adjustment to present value to the assets and liabilities previously mentioned, which corresponds to 6.06% p.a. (6.66% p.a. as of December 31, 2011). 3.7. Trade receivables and other receivables: are recorded at the invoiced amount and adjusted to present value, when applicable, net of estimated losses on doubtful accounts. The Company adopts procedures and analyses to establish credit limits and substantially does not require collateral from customers. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which includes direct contact with customers and collection through third parties. Should these efforts not prove successful, court measures are considered and the notes are reclassified to non-current assets at the same time receivables are written-off. The notes are written- off from the provision when Management considers that they are not recoverable after all appropriate measures to collect. 3.8. Inventories: are evaluated at average acquisition or formation cost, not exceeding market value or net realizable value. The cost of finished products includes raw materials, labor, cost of production, transport and storage, which are related to all process needed to making the products ready for sale. Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Usual production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production cost of the respective month, whereas unusual losses, if any, are recorded directly as an expense for the year in other operating income. 3.9. Biological assets: due to the fact that the Company is responsible for managing the biological transformation of poultry, pork and beef, pursuant to CVM Deliberation No. 596/09, these assets were classified as biological assets. The Company recognizes biological assets when it controls these assets as a result of a past event and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these assets will flow to the Company and fair value can be reliably estimated. Pursuant to CVM Deliberation No. 596/09, the biological assets should be measured at fair value less selling expenses at the time they are initially recognized and at the end of each accrual period, except for cases in which the fair value cannot be reliably estimated.

$$/page=

In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by formation cost, mainly due to the short life cycle of the animals and the fact that a significant share of the profits from our products arises from the manufacturing process rather than from obtaining in natura meat (raw materials at slaughtering point). This opinion is supported by a fair value appraisal report prepared by an independent expert, which concluded that the formation cost of these assets approximates to their fair value (see note 11). 3.10. Non-current assets held for sale: assets included in this subgroup are those identified as unusable by the Company and whose sale has been authorized by Management. Accordingly, there is a firm commitment to identify a purchaser and conclude the sale. These assets are readily available at a reasonable price and it is unlikely there will be changes in the plan to sale. Such assets are measured at carrying amount or fair value, whichever is lower, net of selling costs and are not depreciated or amortized. On December 31, 2012 the amounts related to these assets corresponded to R$11,173 in the parent company and R$22,520 in the consolidated (R$5,980 in the parent company and R$19,007 in the consolidated as of December 31, 2011) and are recorded in the current assets as other rights. 3.11. Property, plant and equipment: presented at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, when applicable. The costs of short term debt are recorded as an integral part of construction in progress, pursuant to CVM Deliberation No. 672/11 considering the weighted average interest rate of the short term debt effective on the capitalized date. Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated. The CVM Deliberation No. 639/10 requires that a recovery evaluation of these assets should be done, whenever there is evidence of loss in comparison with the net realizable value, either by sale or use. The Company annually performs an analysis of impairment indicators. If an impairment indicator is identified, the corresponding assets are tested for impairment using the discounted cash flow methodology. Hence, when an impairment is identified, a provision is recorded. The investments in property, plant and equipments were tested for impairment in the last quarter of 2012, and no adjustments were detected. The result of this test is detailed in note 18. Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the sales value with the residual book value and recognized in the statement of income. 3.12. Intangible assets: are identifiable nonphysical assets, under the Company’s control and which generate future economic benefits. Intangible assets acquired are measured at cost at the time they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination corresponds to the fair value at acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable. Internally-generated intangible assets, excluding development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is recognized in the statement of income for the year in which it was incurred. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economic useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication of a reduction in the economic value of the asset. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income as an expense consistently with the use of the intangible asset. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment on an individual basis or at the cash generating unit level. The Company records in intangible assets the goodwill balance. Goodwill recoverability was tested in the last quarter of 2012 and no adjustments to reflect an impairment loss were identified. Such test involved the adoption of assumptions and judgments, as detailed in note 18. 3.13. Income taxes and social contributions: in Brazil, are comprised of income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution (“CSLL”), which are calculated monthly on taxable income, at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax for IRPJ and of 9% for CSLL, considering the offset of tax loss carryforwards, up to the limit of 30% of taxable income. The income from foreign subsidiaries is subject to taxation in their home countries, pursuant to the local tax rates and standards. Deferred taxes represent credits and debits on IRPJ and CSLL tax losses, as well as temporary differences between the tax basis and the carrying amount. Deferred income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities are classified as non-current, as required by CVM Deliberation No. 676/11. When the Company’s analysis indicates that the future use of these credits, within the time limit of 10 years, is not probable, a provision for losses will be recorded. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. In the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s tax assets and liabilities can be offset against the tax assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries if, and only if, these entities have a legally enforceable right to make or receive a single net payment and intend to make or receive this net payment, or recover the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, therefore, for presentation purposes, the balances of tax assets and tax liabilities are being disclosed separately. Deferred tax assets and liabilities must be measured by rates that are expected to be applicable for the period when the assets are realized and liabilities settled, based on the rates (and fiscal regulation) that are in force on the date of disclosure. 3.14. Accounts payable and trade accounts payable: are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently increased, if applicable, with the accrued charges, monetary and exchange variations incurred until the closing dates of the financial statements. 3.15. Provision for tax, civil and labor risks and contingent liabilities: provisions are established when the Company has a present obligation, formalized or not, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. The Company is part of various lawsuits and administrative proceedings. The assessment of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in these lawsuits and proceedings includes the analysis of the evidence available, the hierarchy of the laws, available former court decisions, as well as the most recent court decisions and their importance to the Brazilian legal system, as well as the opinion of external legal counsel. The provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the circumstances, such as the applicable

$$/page=

statute of limitation, conclusions of tax inspections or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions. A contingent liability recognized in a business combination is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of: • the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above (CVM Deliberation No. 594/09); or • the amount initially recognized less, if appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policy (CVM Deliberation No. 692/12). As a result of the business combination with Sadia, Avex and Dánica group the Company recognized contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor matters. Costs incurred with disposal of assets must be accrued based on the present value of the costs expected to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows, and are recognized as an integral part of the corresponding asset, or as a production cost, when incurred. 3.16. Leases: lease transactions in which the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred to the Company are classified as finance leases. When there is no significant transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership, lease transactions are classified as operating leases. Finance lease agreements are recognized in property, plant and equipment and in liabilities at the lower of the present value of the minimum mandatory installments of the agreement and the fair value of the asset, including, when applicable, the initial direct costs incurred in the transaction. The amounts recorded in property, plant and equipment are depreciated and the underlying interest is recorded in the statement of income in accordance with the term of the lease agreement. Operating lease agreements are recognized as expenses throughout the lease period. 3.17. Share based payments: the Company provides share based payments for its executives, which are settled with Company shares. The Company adopts the provisions of CVM Deliberation No. 650/10, recognizing as an expense, on a straight- line basis, the fair value of the options granted, over the length of service required by the plan, with a corresponding entry to equity. 3.18. Supplementary retirement plan and other benefits to employees: the Company and its subsidiaries recognize actuarial assets and liabilities related to employee benefits in accordance with the criteria provided for in CVM Deliberation No. 695/12. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, based on the actuarial report prepared by independent experts. The contributions made by the sponsors are recognized as an expense for the year. The plan assets are not available to the Company’s creditors and cannot be directly paid to the Company. Fair value is based on information on the market price and, in the case of quoted securities, on the purchase price disclosed. The value of any defined benefit asset recognized is restricted to the sum of any past service costs not yet recognized and the fair value of any economic benefit available in the form of reductions in the plan’s future employer contributions. 3.19. Capital: corresponds to the value obtained in the issuance of common shares. Additional costs directly attributable to issue of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, after any tax effects. 3.20. Treasury shares: when the capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of compensation paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognized as a deduction from equity. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are disclosed as a deduction from equity. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the value received is recognized as an increase in shareholders’ equity and surplus or deficit arising is recorded to retained earnings. 3.21. Earnings per share: basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of ordinary shares of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. 3.22. Determination of income: results from operations are recorded on an accrual basis. 3.23. Revenues: revenues comprise of the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the sale of products, net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts in the consolidated financial statements and also net of eliminations of sales between BRF and its subsidiaries. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, when the sales value is reliably measurable and when the Company no longer has control over the goods sold, or otherwise related to the property, the costs incurred or to be incurred due to transaction can be reliably measured, it is probable that economic benefits will be received by the Company and the risks and benefits were fully transferred to the purchaser. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries have incentive programs and sales discounts, which are accounted for as deductions from sales or selling expenses, based on their nature. These programs include discounts to customers for a good sales performance based on volumes and marketing actions carried out at the sales points. 3.24. Employee and management profit sharing: employees are entitled to profit sharing based on certain targets agreed upon on an annual basis, whereas managers are entitled to profit sharing based on the provisions of the by-laws, proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders. The profit sharing amount is recognized in the statement of income for the period in which the targets are attained. 3.25. Research and development: expenditures on research activities, undertaken with the opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of science or technology, are recognized in income as incurred. Development activities involve a plan or project aimed at producing new or significantly improved technologies, process or products. The development costs are capitalized only if development costs can be reliably measured, if the product or process is technically and commercially viable if the future economic benefits are probable, and if the Company has the intention and the resources to complete the development and use or sell the asset. The expenditures capitalized include the cost of materials, labor, manufacturing costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, other development expenditures are recognized in income as incurred. The capitalized development expenditures are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and loss on impairment.

3.26. Financial income: include interest earnings on amounts invested (including available for sale financial assets), dividend income (except for dividends received from equity investees evaluated by the Company), gains on disposal of available for sale financial assets, changes in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through income and gains on hedging instruments that are recognized in income. Interest income is recognized in earnings through the effective interest method. The dividend income is recognized in the statement of income on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established. The distributions received from investees that are recorded under equity income reduce the value of the investment, in the individual financial statements. 3.27. Subsidies and tax incentives: government subsidies are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions established and related benefits will be received. The amounts are accounted for as follows: • Subsidies relating to assets: are accounted for in the statement of income in proportion to the depreciation of the asset; and • Subsidies to investments: the amounts recorded as revenue in the statement of income when excluded from the income tax and social contribution calculation basis will be reclassified to equity, as a reserve of tax incentives, unless there are accumulated losses. 3.28. Dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity: the proposal for payment of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity made by the Company’s Management, which is within the portion equivalent to the mandatory minimum dividend, is recorded in current liabilities, for it is regarded as a legal obligation provided for in the bylaws; on the other hand, the dividends that exceed the mandatory minimum dividend, declared by Management before the end of the accounting period covered by the financial statements, not yet approved by the stockholders, is recorded as additional dividend proposed in shareholders’ equity. For financial statement presentation purposes, interest on shareholders’ equity is stated as an allocation of income directly in equity. 3.29. Translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency: as mentioned in item 3.1 above, the balances of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Brazilian Reais using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and statement of income accounts are translated at the average monthly rates in effect. The exchange rates in Brazilian Reais effective at the date of the balance sheets translated were as follows: — Final rate	12.31.12	12.31.11
U.S. Dollar (US$)	2.0435	1.8758
Euro (€)	2.6954	2.4342
Pound Sterling (£)	3.3031	2.9148
Argentine Peso (AR$)	0.4160	0.4360
Average rates
U.S. Dollar (US$)	1.9550	1.6746
Euro (€)	2.5103	2.3278
Pound Sterling (£)	3.0985	2.6835
Argentine Peso (AR$)	0.4298	0.4056

The Financial Risk Management Committee is in charge of the execution of the Risk Policy, which comprises the supervision of the risk management process, planning and verification of the impacts of the decisions implemented, as well as the evaluation and approval of hedging alternatives and monitoring the exposure levels to risks in order to ensure the compliance of the Policy. The Risk Management area has as primary task the monitoring, evaluation and reporting of financial risk taken by the Company, and among these are: (i) an ongoing review of the scope of Risk Policy, ensuring that hedging instruments utilized are within the limits of tolerance established by the Policy; (ii) the preparation of reports; (iii) the evaluation and presentation of alternatives to mitigate risks; and (iv) the modeling and assessment of exposure to risks. The tasks mentioned above are performed in order to highlight and give acknowledgement to Management on the magnitude of the risks and the related hedging instruments utilized presenting the potential impacts. The Risk Policy defines the strategies to be adopted, and Management contracts hedging instruments that are approved within the delegation of authority levels. The Board of Directors, Board of Executive Officers and Financial Risk Committee have different levels of authority where each one acts within the limits pre-established in this Policy. The Policy does not authorize the Company to contract leveraged transactions in derivative markets, as well as determines that individual hedge operations (notional) must be limited to 2.5% of the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The inclusion and updating of transactions are recorded in the Company’s operating systems, with proper segregation of duties, being validated by the back-office and daily monitored by the Risk Management area. Considering the objective of hedging transactions is to mitigate the risks and the uncertainties to which the Company is exposed, the results obtained in the current fiscal year met the established objectives. As permitted by CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company applies hedge accounting rules to its derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedge, in accordance with its Risk Policy. The cash flow hedge consists of hedging the exposure to variations of the cash flow that: (i) is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability; (ii) a highly probable predicted transaction; and (iii) could affect profit and loss. The Policy has also the purpose of determining parameters of use of financial instruments, including derivatives, which are designed to protect the operating and financial assets and liabilities, which are exposed to the variations of foreign exchange rates, the fluctuation of the interest rates and changes to the commodities prices. The Risk Management area is responsible for ensuring compliance to the requirements established by the Company’s Risk Policy. 4.2. Interest rate risk management The risk of interest rates is that one which the Company may suffer economic losses, arising from changes in these rates, which can be caused by factors related to economic crises or changes in monetary policy on domestic and foreign markets. This exhibition refers primarily to changes in market interest rates, that affect assets and liabilities of the Company, indexed to the London Interbank Offered rate (“LIBOR”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”). Currency of the Bank National Economic and Social Development (“UMBNDES”) or Interbank Deposit Certificate (“CDI”) Certificate, and any transactions with pre-established positions in some of the indices mentioned above, which can lead to losses unrealized or realized through the calculation of fair market value (mark to market). The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to different interest rates, neither establishes limits for fixed or floating rates. The Company continually monitors the market interest rates, in order to evaluate any potential need to enter in hedging contracts to protect from the exposure to fluctuation of such rates. These transactions are basically characterized by contracts that exchange floating rate for fixed rate. Such transactions were designated by the Company as cash flow hedge. The Company seeks a stable correlation between its current and non-current term indebtedness, maintaining a higher portion in the non-current term. The Company’s indebtedness is essentially tied to the LIBOR , fixed coupon (“R$ and USD”), TJLP and UMBNDES rates. In case of adverse changes in the market that result in LIBOR hikes, the cost of the floating indebtedness rises and on the other hand, the cost of the fixed indebtedness decreases in relative terms. The same consideration is also applicable to the TJLP and UMBNDES. With regards to the Company’s marketable securities, the main index is the CDI for investments in the domestic market and fixed coupon (“USD”) for investments in the foreign market. If CDI increases, impacts become favorable, while if CDI decreases, results become unfavorable. In August 2011, the Monetary Policy Committee (“COPOM”) initiated a cycle of monetary policy easing by reducing the basic interest rate from 12.5% p.a. to 7.25% p.a. in December 2012. Thus, interest income derived from investments subject to the CDI variations were reduced. Moreover, there is the maintenance of the expectation of low international interest rates. With LIBOR at historically low levels, there was a positive impact on financial costs linked to this indicator. Regarding the exposure to fluctuation of interest rates, the results obtained for the year ended December 31, 2012, met the established objectives. 4.3. Foreign exchange risk management Foreign exchange risk is the one related to variations of foreign exchange rates that may cause the Company to incur unexpected losses, leading to a reduction of the assets or an increase of the amounts of liabilities. The main exposures to which the Company is subject, as regards foreign exchange rates variations, refer to the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar (“US$” or “USD”) and also of the Euro (“EUR”) , Pound Sterling (“GBP”) and the Argentine Peso (“ARS”) in relation to the Brazilian Real (“R$ or BRL”). The objective of the Company’s Risk Policy is the protection from excessive exposure to the risks of foreign exchange variations by balancing its assets not denominated in Brazilian Reais against its obligations not denominated in Brazilian Reais, thus protecting the Company’s balance sheet, through the use of over-the-counter transactions (“swap”) and transactions on the futures exchange.

The Company’s total net foreign exchange exposure as of December 31, 2012, is a liability of US$411,638 and is within the limit established by the Risk Policy. The Risk Policy aims to protect the operating revenues and costs that are related to the operations resulting from the business activity, such as estimates of exports and purchases of raw materials. For the purpose, the Company utilizes hedge instruments focusing mainly on the protection of its foreign currency denominated projected cash flow. In order to conduct an active management and as required by the Risk Policy, the Company performs daily monitoring, through reports issued by the Risk Management area, on cash flow needs and foreign exchange exposure. 4.3.2 Breakdown of the balances of derivative financial instruments The positions of outstanding derivatives are as follows:

(1) The market value determination method used by the Company consists of calculating the future value based on the contracted conditions and determining the present value based on market curves, extracted from the database of Bloomberg and BM&F.

The Company contracted swap operations, NDF and future contracts with the objective of minimize the effects of the variations in the foreign exchange rates and for protection from the fluctuations of interest rates. Management understands that the results obtained with these derivative operations are in compliance with the Risk Policy adopted by the Company and were satisfactory. 4.4. Breakdown of the balances of financial instruments designated for cash flow hedge accounting and export revenues The Company formally designated its operations for hedge accounting treatment for the derivative financial instruments to protect cash flows and export revenues, documenting: (i) the relationship of the hedge; (ii) the objective and risk management strategy of the Company to hire a hedge transaction; (iii) the identification of the financial instrument; (iv) the hedge object or transaction; (v) the nature of the risk to be hedged; (vi) the description of the hedge relationship; (vii) he demonstration of the correlation between the hedge transaction and the hedge object, when applicable; and (viii) the prospective demonstration of the effectiveness of the hedge. The transactions for which the Company has designated hedge accounting, are highly probable to present a variation in cash flow that could affect profit and loss are highly effective in achieving changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to hedged risk, consistent with the risk originally documented in the Risk Policy. The Company recorded the unrealized results of the designated derivatives for interest rates and exchange rates risks in shareholders’ equity, net of taxes.

4.4.3 Fixed exchange rate

Fixed Exchange rate is a non-derivative financial instrument hired from financial institutions and allows the definition of future rate to internalization of resources arising from foreign activities. By means of contract it is necessary the submission of export invoices to prove the nature of resources which will be internalized trough closing exchange rate. Such contract has similar characteristics to a derivative contract non-deliverable forward since it determines, at the time of their hiring a future exchange rate. Nevertheless, the contract requires a physical settlement of the contracted positions.

4.4.4. Exports pre-payments - PPEs As authorized by CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company utilizes the exchange rates variation of export pre-payments contracts (“PPEs”) as a hedge instrument in order to mitigate the risk of the variation of exchange rate resulting from the highly probable future sales in foreign currency. In order to test the effectiveness of this hedge category, the Company established a comparison between the exchange rate variation arising from the PPE agreement (variation of the fair value of the hedging instrument) and the variation of the fair value of highly probable future export revenues (Spot-to-Spot rate method). The position of the PPEs designated as hedge accounting is set forth below:

The unrealized gains and losses from PPEs designated as hedge accounting, recorded in the shareholders’ equity is represented by a loss of R$66,527 (R$30,507 as of December 31, 2011), net of income tax of R$ 34,271 (R$15,716 as of December 31, 2011). 4.4.5. Senior Unsecured Notes – Bonds According to CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company designated on June 30, 2012, part of the transaction hired as Senior Unsecured Notes (Bond BRF2022), as hedge accounting. In order to test the effectiveness of this hedge category, the Company established, a comparison between the exchange rate variation arising from contract of issuing bonds (variation of the fair value of the hedging instrument) and the variation of the fair value of highly probable future export revenues (Spot-to-Spot rate method).

4.6. Determination of the fair value of financial instruments The Company discloses its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, based on the appropriatte accounting pronouncements, which refers to concepts of valuation and practices, and requires certain disclosures on the fair value. Particularly related to the disclosure, the Company applies the hierarchy requirements set out in CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, which involves the following aspects: • The fair value is the price that an asset could be exchanged, a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in a transaction without favoritism; and • Hierarchy on 3 levels for measurement of the fair value, according to observable inputs for the valuation of an asset or liability on the date of its measurement. The valuation established on 3 levels of hierarchy for measurement of the fair value is based on observable and non-observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while non-observable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the hierarchy of fair value set forth below: • Level 1 - Prices quoted for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2 - Prices quoted in active markets for similar instruments, prices quoted for identical or similar instruments in non-active markets and evaluation models for which inputs are observable; and • Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are non- observable. Management concluded that balances of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are close to their fair value recognition due to the short-term cycle of these operations. The book value of financing and loans in the financial statements is close to the fair value due to the major portion of the total gross debt bears interest based on the variation of TJLP, LIBOR and CDI, except the capital markets transactions (Bond). On December 31, 2012, the fair value adjustment for Bond (“BRFSBZ”) is represented by a positive impacto f R$521,092, which R$80,463 is attributable to Sadia Bonds (“BRFSBZ6”), R$295,030 is attributable to BFF Notes (“BRFSBZ7”) and R$145,599 is attributable to BRF Notes (“BRFSBZ5”), this impact was measured only for disclosure purposes not being recorded in the financial statements of the Company. 4.6.1.

Presented below is the description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company for financial instruments measured at fair value: • The investments in financial assets in the categories of Brazilianforeign debt securities, National Treasury Certificates (“CTN”), Financial Treasury Notes (“LFT”), financial investment funds and shares are classified at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market prices are available in an active market; • The investments in financial assets in the categories of Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and the repurchase agreements backed by debentures are classified at Level 2, since the determination of fair value is based on the price quotation of similar financial instruments in non-active markets; and • The derivatives are valued through existing pricing models widely accepted by financial market and described in appendix III of the Risk Policy. Readily observable market inputs are used,

such as interest rate forecasts, volatility factors and foreign currency rates. These instruments are classified at Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, including interest rates swap and foreign currency derivatives. 4.7. Credit management The Company is potentially subject to the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, financial investments and derivative contracts. The Company limits its risk associated with these financial instruments, allocating them to financial institutions selected by the criteria of rating and percentage of maximum concentration by counterparties. The credit risk concentration of trade accounts receivable is minimized due to the diversification of the customer portfolio and concession of credit to customers with good financial and operational conditions. The Company does not normally require collateral for credit sales, yet it has a contracted credit insurance policy for specific markets. On December 31, 2012, the Company had financial investments over R$10.000 at the following financial institutions: Banco Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Banco do Nordeste, Banco Votorantim, Banco Itaú, Banco Safra, Banco Santander, Caixa Econômica Federal, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Erste Bank, HSBC and JP Morgan. The Company also held derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: ABN, Banco Bradesco, Banco BTG Pactual, Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú, Banco Safra, Banco Santander, Banco Votorantim, Barclays, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ING Bank, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Rabobank and Standard Bank. 4.8. Liquidity risk management Liquidity risk management aims to reduce the impacts caused by events which may a ect the Company’s cash flow performance. The Company has identified market risk factors which are associated to future cash flow that may jeopardize its liquidity and calculates the Cash Flow at Risk (“CFaR”) on a twelve-month basis aiming to verify potential cash flow forecast deviations. The Company determined that the minimum value of its cash availability should consider mainly the average monthly revenue and EBITDA for the last twelve-month period. Derivatives transactions may demand payments of periodicb adjustments. Currently, the Company holds only BM&F operations with daily adjustments. In order to control the adjustments, the Company utilizes Value at Risk methodology (“VaR”), which statistically measures potential maximum adjustments to be paid in a 1 to 21-day interval. The allocation of financial investments among counterparts is conservative and seek the liquidity and profitability of these assets avoiding concentration. The Company maintains its leverage levels in a manner to not jeopardize the ability to honor commitments and obligations. As a guideline, the majority of the debt should be in long term. On December 31, 2012, the long term debt portion accounted for 59% of the total outstanding debt with an average term greater than 3.5 years. The table below summarizes the commitments and contractual obligations that may impact the Company’s liquidity as of December 31, 2012:

4.9. Commodity price risk management In the regular course of its operations, the Company purchases commodities, mainly corn, soymeal and live hog, which are some of the individual components of production cost. Corn and soymeal prices are subject to volatility resulting from weather conditions, crop yield, transportation and storage costs, government’s agricultural policy, foreign exchange rates and the prices of these commodities on the international market, among others factors. The prices of hog acquired from third parties are subject to market conditions and are influenced by internal availability and levels of demand in the international market, and other aspects. The Risk Policy establishes limits for hedging the corn and soymeal purchase flow, aiming to reduce the impact resulting from a price increase of these raw materials, and may utilize derivative instruments or inventory management for this purpose. Currently, the Management of inventory levels is used as a hedging instrument. During the 2012 fiscal year, the Company utilized derivative instruments to mitigate the exposure to live cattle price variation. The derivative instruments are entered into to protect the following transactions:

6.2.Business combination – AVEX According to the Company’s strategic plan to become a global player, on October 03, 2011, acting through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sadia Alimentos S.A., in Argentina, the Company acquired 69.15% of the equity interest in Avex S.A. (“Avex”), which is located in the city of Rio Cuarto, in Córdoba province, engaged in the poultry production as well as chilled and frozen chicken, sold as a whole and in cuts. Avex is the sixth largest participant in the Argentine poultry domestic market, with 4% of participation and its productive capacity is presented below:

Animal feed industry	Juárez Celman, Córdoba	40 ton per hour
Hatcheries	General Deheza, Córdoba	758,800 eggs per week
Termination poultry farm	Rio Cuarto, Córdoba	-

As disclosed in note 1.6, on December 28, 2012, aiming to accelerate the integrating of its business in Argentina, the Company acquired the equity interest held by non-controlling shareholders in Avex, corresponding to 33.33% of the capital for the amount of R$82,776, and therefore holding 99.46% of the equity interest. Due to the fact that BRF already held the control of Avex prior to the acquisition of the non-controlling interest mentioned above, such transaction is not accounted for as business combination. Therefore, the amount of R$33,851 corresponds to the difference between the carrying amount and the effective amount paid for the shares. Such amount was recorded as a debt in the shareholders’ equity and does not compose the goodwill generated in the business combination.

On December 31 2012, the increase in the parent company arises from the merger of the subsidiaries Sadia and Heloisa, while the increase in consolidated is mainly related to the acquisition of the Quickfood and the increase in the prices of the main raw materials utilized in production. The write-offs of products sold from inventories to cost of sales during the twelve month period ended on December 31, 2012, totaled R$12,114,733 at the parent company and R$22,063,563 in the consolidated (on December 31, 2011, R$10,008,750 at the parent company and R$19,046,963 in the consolidated).

The additions presented in the provision for inventory losses are mainly related to the decrease in the foreign market sales prices of griller and the domestic market of whole poultry in-natura, which occurred during the first semester. The reversals recorded during the quarter are related to the decrease in the critical inventory of griller chicken and to the recovery of the foreign market sales price as from the second semester of 2012. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2012, there were write-offs of inventories in the amount of R$28,582 at the parent company and R$44,431 in the consolidated (R$35,832 at the parent company and R$53,018 in the consolidated on December 31, 2011), referring to deterioration items, which have been charged to the statement of income in the provision. Management expects inventories to be recovered in a period of less than 12 months. On December 31, 2012, R$50,000 (R$67,079 as of December 31, 2011) of the balance of inventories of the parent company and consolidated was pledged as collateral for rural credit operations.	The animals classified in the subgroup for production (breeding stock) are those that have the function of producing other biological assets. And, while they do not reach the age of reproduction they are classified as immature and when they are able to initiate the reproductive cycle, they are classified as mature. In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by the cost of formation, mainly due to the short life cycle of the animals and to the fact that a significant portion of the profitability of our products derives from the manufacturing process and not from obtaining in natura meat (raw materials at slaughtering point). This opinion is supported by a fair value appraisal report prepared by an independent expert, which presented an immaterial difference between the two methodologies. Therefore, Management maintained the biological assets at formation cost. In the measurement of the biological assets at fair value, the Company adopted the model of discounted cash flow. Firstly, the discount rate used was the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”), which was then adjusted to reflect the specific risk of the asset in question, utilizing mathematical model of Weighted Average Return on Assets (“WARA”), as follows:
11. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
		31.12.12	31.12.11
The group of biological assets of the Company comprises living animals which are segregated by the categories: poultry, pork and cattle. In addition, these categories were separated into consumable and for production. The animals classified in the subgroup of consumables are those intended for slaughtering to produce unprocessed meat and/ or manufactured and processed products, and while they do not reach the weight adequate for slaughtering, they are classified as immature. The slaughter and production process occurs sequentially and in a very short time period, and as a consequence, only the living animals transferred for slaughtering in refrigerators are classified as mature.

The costs of the breeding animals are depreciated using the straight-line method for a period from 15 to 30 months. The acquisitions of biological assets for production (non-current) occur when there is an expectation that the production plan cannot be met with its own assets and, usually, this acquisition refers to immature animals in the beginning of the life cycle. The acquisitions of biological assets for slaughtering (poultry and pork) are represented by poultry of one day old and pork of up to 22 kilos, which are subject to the management of a substantial part of the agricultural activity by the Company. The increase by reproduction of the biological assets classified in the current assets is related to eggs from animals for production.

The increase in the balance during the year ended December 31, 2012 is mainly due to the tax credits arising from exports occurred through the States of Paraná and Santa Catarina. 12.1. Value-added Tax Due to its export activity, domestic sales and investments in property, plant and equipment are subject to reduced tax rates and, the Company accumulates credits that are offset with debits generated in sales in the domestic market or transferred to third parties. The Company has ICMS credit in the States of Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais and Distrito Federal, for which Management understands that realization is uncertain and, therefore, formed full provision for loss of these credits as shown in the table above. The increase in the balance is related to the exports from the States of Parana and Santa Catarina and are presented net of the related allowances judged necessary by the Company’s Management. 12.2. Income tax and social contribution These correspond to withholdings at source on financial investments, prepayments of income tax and social contribution, and on the reception of interest on shareholders’ equity by the parent company, realizable through offsetting with federal taxes and contributions payable. 12.3. PIS and COFINS Recoverable taxes derived from Contribution to the Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Contribution for Funding of Social Welfare Programs (“COFINS”) basically are originated from credits on purchases of raw materials used in the production of exported products or in the production of products which sales are taxed at the zero rate, such as UHT and pasteurized milk as well as sales to the Manaus Free Zone. The recovery of these receivables can be achieved by means of offsetting with domestic sale operations of taxed products, with other federal taxes or compensation claims. Management is analyzing alternatives that would allow the utilization of the credits in the operations.

Due to the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary Sadia on December 31, 2012 from this date, the balances of tax assets and liabilities deferred of the parent company are disclosed on a net basis, as there is a legally enforceable right to offset such amounts. Due the merger of wholly-owned subsidiary Sadia was determined an effective loss of deferred taxes arising from tax losses and negative basis of social contribution of R$130,959, generating a reversal recorded as a credit in the caption expense Income tax and social contribution social worth R$84,246. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have tax loss carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution of R$19,633 and R$19,514, respectively, (R$31,650 and R$31,470 as of December 31, 2011), for which the Company have not recorded a deferred tax assets. If there was an expectation that such tax credits would be realized the amount recognized in the balance would be R$6,664 (R$10,475 as of December 31, 2011). 13.2. Estimated time of realization Deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences will be realized as they are settled our realized. The period of the settlement or realization of such differences is inaccurate and is tied to several factors that are not under control of the Management. Management estimates that the deferred tax assets originated from tax losses carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution are expected to be realized as set forth below:	BR GAAP	BR GAAP and IFRS
	Parent company	Consolidated
Year	Value	Value
2013	36,068	41,625
2014	48,321	54,331
2015	60,869	65,960
2016	74,012	77,491
2017	88,022	91,817
2018-2020	385,315	390,416
2021-2022	200,723	200,783
	893,330	922,423
When assessing the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax-planning strategies when performing this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset is considered realizable, however, could be impacted in the short term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The Company determined that the total profit accounted for by holdings of their wholly-owned subsidiary will not be redistributed. Such resources will be used for investments in the subsidiaries, and thus no deferred income taxes were recognized. The total of undistributed earnings corresponds to R$2,223,856 as of December 31, 2012 (R$2,057,655 as of December 31, 2011). The Brazilian income taxes are subject to review for a 5-year period, during which the tax authorities might audit and assess the company for additional taxes and penalties, in case inconsistencies are found. Subsidiaries located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

Amortizations of outgrowers loyalty and suppliers relationship are recognized as a cost of sales in the statement of income, while software amortization is recorded according to its use, where the alternatives are cost of sales, administrative or sales expenses. Trademarks in intangible assets derive from the business combination with Sadia, Quickfood and Dánica group and are considered assets with indefinite useful life as they are expected to contribute toward the Company’s cash flows indefinitely. The goodwill presented above is based on expected future profitability supported by valuation reports, after allocation of identified assets in use. The value of goodwill and the value of intangible assets with indefinite useful life (trademarks and patents) allocated by cash- generating unit, are presented in note 5. The Company performed the impairment tests of assets based on the fair value, that was determined by a discounted cash flow model, in accordance with the level of goodwill and intangible allocations to the group of cash generating units. Discounted cash flows were prepared based on the multi-annual budget (2013-2016) of the Company and growth projections up to 2022 (9.3% p.a.up to 18.2% p.a.), which in turn, are based on historical experiences and market projections of government agencies and associations, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), the Brazilian Pork Industry and Exporter (“ABIPECS”), the Brazilian Pullet Producer Association (“APINCO”) and others. In the opinion of Management, the use of periods that exceed those quoted (5 years) in the preparation of discounted cash flows is adequate, as it reflects the estimated time of use of the groups of assets. Management adopted the WACC (11.2% p.a.) as the discount rate for the development of discounted cash flows and also adopted the assumptions shown in the table below:

The rates presented above do not consider any tax effect (pre-tax). Based on Management analyses performed during the fourth quarter of 2012, no adjustments for reduction in the balances of the assets to recoverable value were identified. In addition to the above mentioned recovery analysis, Management prepared a sensitivity analysis considering the variations in the EBITDA margin and in the nominal WACC as presented below:

Apreciation (devaluation)	3.0%	1.5%	0.0%	-1.5%	Variations — -3.0%
WACC	14.2%	12.7%	11.2%	9.7%	8.2%
EBITDA margin	16.5%	15.0%	13.5%	12.0%	10.5%

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Shareholders and Officers BRF - Brasil Foods S.A. Itajaí - SC
We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of BRF – Brasil Foods S.A., identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2012, and the statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and in accordance and with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, as well as for the internal controls management determined as necessary to enable the preparation of these financial statements free from material misstatement, regardless of whether due to fraud or error. Independent auditors’ responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion on the individual financial statements In our opinion, the individual financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BRF-Brasil Foods S.A. as at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.	Opinion on the consolidated financial statements In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BRF-Brasil Foods S.A. as at December 31, 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Emphasis of matter As described in Note 2, the individual financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. In the case of BRF-Brasil Foods S.A. theses practices differ from IFRS, applicable to separate financial statements, only in relation to the valuation of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures under the equity method, while for IFRS purposes it would be cost of fair value. Our opinion is not modified due to this matter.
