Presentation of Financial Information

The individual and consolidated financial statements, were prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Brazil, and they are presented in accordance with NPC rule No. 27 issued by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (Instituto dos Auditores Independentes do Brasil - IBRACON) and rule No. 488 issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comisso de Valores Mobilirios CVM) , both dated October 3, 2005. With respect to the Companys investment in Swift Armour, we have compared the generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina with the corresponding principles in Brazil applied by the Company, and we have noted that there were no material differences. The accounting principles adopted by the Companies Tupman and Astro, both subsidiaries of SB Holdings, Inc., do not differ significantly from those adopted in Brazil. The individual and consolidated statements of income for the three-month period ended in March 31, 2006, presented for comparability purposes, were prepared excluding the net income of the hygiene and cleaning products division, which was separated from the Company through a partial spin-off occurred in December 31, 2006, as explained in Note 1. Accordingly, such statements of income are denominated as "Pro Forma".

The "Pro Forma" statements of income are not entitled to be used as a basis for the calculation of dividends, nor for any other purpose rather than to provide comparable information about the financial performance of the Company.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company in preparing its financial statements are described below:

a) Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Brazil requires the Companys management to (i) make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and (ii) disclose (a) contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (b) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. b) Swap Receivables or Payables The market value of derivative instruments is computed daily, and the resulting receivables or payables are recorded based on their fair market value. c) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Allowance for doubtful accounts is computed based on the probable loss, the profile of the clients, overall economic and financial condition and specific risks relating to the relevant client. The Companys management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover the losses if such allowances materialize. d) Inventories The Companys inventories are valued based on their cost of acquisition or production, which is lower than their market or net realizable value.

e) Investments The Companys investments in subsidiaries are accounted according to the equity method. Other investments of the Company are valued at their acquisition cost. f) Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at an amount equivalent to the sum of their historical acquisition cost and to the amount resulting from the increase in the value of these assets as determined by revaluations performed by independent appraisal firms. Depreciation is computed pursuant the straight-line method, at the rates described in Note 11, which take into account the useful and economic lives of the assets. g) Other Current and Long-term Assets Current and long-term assets are accounted for at their realization value, including, if applicable, the related income, charges and monetary variations. h) Current Liabilities and Long-term Liabilities Current and long-term liabilities are accounted for at their known or computed amounts, including, if applicable, the related income, charges and monetary variations. i) Statements of Income The income statement transactions are reported in accordance with the accrual method of accounting. j) Income Tax and Social Contribution Current taxes Provisions for income tax and social contribution are based on rates and laws and regulations in force. Deferred taxes The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts on the Company's financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. k) Supplemental information In order to provide a better understanding of its financial statements, the Company has presented, as supplementary information, its consolidated statements of cash flows. l) Consolidation

All balances of assets and liabilities accounts of JBS S.A. and its subsidiaries and revenues and expenses from transactions between JBS S.A. and its subsidiaries were eliminated. No inter-company profits were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. Accordingly, the shareholders equity of JBS S.A. individually is equal to its consolidated shareholders equity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries of JBS S.A. located outside of Brazil were originally prepared using the currency of the country in which they are located. Subsequently, these amounts were converted into Reais using the applicable commercial selling exchange rates reported by the Central Bank of Brazil on the date of the consolidated balance sheet. The subsidiaries companies included in the consolidation are mentioned in the Note 10.

Cash and cash equivalents


The balance of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2007 includes R$ 1,151,457 relating to the initial public offering of 150,000,000 of ordinary nominative shares at the share price of R$ 8.00 per share, occurred in March 28, 2007, and whose financial settlement was in April 2, 2007.

ICMS (value added tax)

Brazilian law authorizes manufacturers of goods to set off the ICMS tax paid upon the purchase of raw materials against the taxes charged upon the sale of the finished goods manufactured with such raw materials. Recoverable ICMS derives from tax credits received by the Company in connection with ICMS taxes paid upon its purchase of raw-materials, packaging materials and other goods, which are offset against ICMS taxes resulting from the sale of the Companys products. As export sales are exempt from ICMS and a relevant portion of the Companys sales are export sales, a tax credit is generated.

The Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo (Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado de So Paulo ) filed administrative proceedings against the Company challenging the amount of the Companys ICMS tax credits arising from the purchase of cattle by the Company in other Brazilian states. The Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo claims that the tax incentives granted by such other states were not based upon an agreement with the State of So Paulo, and accordingly, the Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo only recognizes the Companys ICMS tax credits up to the amount of the ICMS tax paid in such other states.The Companys management believes that its accounting of the ICMS tax credit is in accordance with Brazilian law, and expects to be reimbursed for a significant part of such credit during 2007. IPI (excise tax)

IPI tax credits are generated as a result of social contributions (PIS and COFINS) included in the acquisition cost of rawmaterials, packaging and other materials used in the manufacturing of the Companys products, which are offset against the IPI tax paid by the Company upon the sale of finished products. Due to the fact that the exports of the Companys products are exempt from IPI, a tax credit is generated. These tax credits were reviewed and approved by the Federal Tax Authority (Secretaria da Receita Federal ). The Company expects to be reimbursed for these tax credits during 2007. PIS and COFINS (social contribution on net income) PIS and COFINS tax credits are generated as a result of PIS/COFINS taxes paid by the Company upon its purchase of rawmaterials, packaging and other materials used in the manufacturing of its products against the PIS/COFINS taxes paid by Company upon the sale of its finished products. Similarly to ICMS and IPI, as exports of the Company's products are exempt from such taxes, a tax credit is created. An amount of R$ 46,000 of these tax credits were reviewed and approved by the Federal Tax Authority. The Company expects to be reimbursed for these tax credits during 2007. IRRF (withholding income tax)

IRFF corresponds to withholding income tax levied upon the redemption of marketable securities by the Company. The Company expects to set off such withholding income taxes against income taxes on net income paid for the applicable period.

General comments Based upon final administrative decisions by the Cmara Superior do Conselho de Contribuintes and on the opinion of its legal counsels, the Company and JBS Embalagens has performed a monetary adjustment of its tax credits of PIS, COFINS and IPI based on the SELIC rate (which is the reference rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil). After such monetary adjustments, the total PIS, COFINS and IPI tax credits totaled R$133,803 on March 31, 2007.

15 Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties in several legal and administrative proceedings arising from the ordinary course of their respective businesses, including labor proceedings, civil proceedings and tax proceedings based on the estimative of its legal advisors. The Company has established provisions in its financial statements for the contingencies arising from these proceedings based on the estimates provided by its legal advisors. The table below sets forth the main information about the legal and administrative proceedings as of March 31, 2007: Company Number of lawsuits/admi nistrative proceedings 752 795 212 1.759 Consolidated

Type of Proceedings Labor Civil Tax Total Tax Proceedings

Provision 4.869 13.290 31.409 49.568

a) ICMS - Value Added Tax (Imposto sobre Operaes Relativas Circulao de Mercadorias e sobre a Prestao de Servios de Transporte Interestadual e Intermunicipal e de Comunicao)

The Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo (Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado de So Paulo ) filed several administrative proceedings against the Company, under which the Tax Authority challenges the amount of the Companys ICMS tax credits arising from the purchase of cattle by the Company in other Brazilian states. The Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo claims that the tax incentives granted by such other states were not based upon interstate agreements, and accordingly, the Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo only recognizes the Companys ICMS tax credits up to the amount of the ICMS tax paid in such other states. The Company estimates that the claims under these administrative proceedings amount to R$ 22,276 in the aggregate. In addition to presenting its defense in such administrative proceedings, the Company has filed legal proceedings seeking the payment of damages from such other states if the Tax Authority of the State of So Paulo prevails in these administrative proceedings. Based on the opinion of the Companys legal counsels, the Companys management established a provision for losses arising from such administrative and legal proceedings in the amount of R$ 1,338 as of March 31, 2007.

b) PIS (Programa de Integrao Social) and COFINS (Contribuio para Financiamento da Seguridade Social) The Company has filed administrative proceedings challenging the calculation method used in the assessment of PIS and COFINS by the Federal Tax Authority (Secretaria da Receita Federal ). The Companys management estimates that the contingencies arising from these legal proceedings amount to R$6,969 in the aggregate. Based on the opinion of the Companys legal counsels and recent decisions granted by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal ), the Companys management has recorded a provision for losses arising from such legal proceedings in the amount of R$2,065 as of March 31, 2007. c) CSLL - Social contribution on net profit (Contribuio Social sobre o Lucro Lquido)

Based on an amendment to the Brazilian Federal Constitution that exempted revenues from exports from federal contributions, the Company has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Tax Authority (Secretaria da Receita Federal ) seeking to exclude its revenues from exports from the calculation of the Social Contribution on Net Profit (Contribuio Social Sobre o Lucro Lquido CSLL) payable by the Company. Although there are no judicial precedents supporting the exclusion of revenues from exports from the calculation of CSLL, the Company has historically excluded these amounts from the calculation of the CSLL payable by it. Despite the Companys management belief that the Company will prevail in these proceedings, the Companys management has established a provision for losses arising from these lawsuits in the amount of R$16,596 as of March 31, 2007.

17

d) INSS - National Social Security Institute (Instituto Social de Seguridade Social)

In June 2002, the INSS filed two administrative proceedings (autos de infrao ) against the Company, seeking to collect certain social security contributions (which are referred to as contributions to the Rural Workers Assistance Fund (NOVO FUNRURAL) in the aggregate amount of R$69,194, that the Company should have allegedly withheld in connection with purchases of cattle from individual ranchers. As a result of a decision by a lower court in a proceeding to adjudicate a writ of mandamus action filed by the Company in order to challenge the constitutionality of such social security contributions, the administrative proceedings have been stayed and the INSS has been enjoined from collecting these social security contributions from the Company.

The INSS has not timely appealed from this decision and, accordingly, the proceeding has been submitted to the review of the Regional Federal Court of the 3rd Region as a matter of law. Currently, the proceedings await a ruling by such appellate court. Based on the Companys legal counsel opinion supported by precedents of the Federal Supreme Court in a similar case, the Companys management believes that the Company will prevail in these proceedings. Accordingly, the Company has not established any provision for contingencies arising from these proceedings.

In order to preserve its claims under the administrative proceeding and to avoid the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations period relating to these claims, the INSS sent the Company tax default notices (notificaes fiscais de lanamento de dbito ) with respect to the contributions allegedly owed by the Company for the period from January 1999 to December 2003 in the aggregate amount of R$69,194. In its defense to these default notices, the Company argued that it did not pay the contributions with respect to the period described in such notices in light of the favorable decision issued by the trial court reviewing the writ of mandamus action, which ordered the stay of the administrative proceedings and enjoined the INSS from collecting the contributions from the Company until a final decision is reached under such action.

An ongoing legal proceeding arguing the unconstitutionality of the contribution to the Rural Workers Assistance Fund, with issues and factual circumstances similar to the writ of mandamus action is currently under review by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal ). Up to the present moment, five of the ten judges opining on this proceeding have voted to declare this contribution unconstitutional and no judge has issued a dissenting opinion on this matter.

Based on this and other precedents and on the opinions of its external legal counsel, the Companys management believes the Company will prevail in these proceedings. Accordingly, the Companys management has not established any provision for contingencies arising from these proceedings as of December, 31, 2006. Currently, the Company does not pay or deposit with any court any amounts in connection with contributions to the Rural Workers Assistance Fund.

Social Security Contributions Third-party Entities. The INSS filed several administrative proceedings against the Company with claims totaling approximately R$11,000, seeking to collect certain social security contributions with respect to third-party entities (contribuies previdencirias terceiras entidades ) allegedly owed by the Company. These proceedings are based on a wrongful interpretation by the INSS of the Social Security Fund Code (Cdigo do Fundo de Previdncia e Assistncia Social ). Based on the opinion of the Companys external legal counsel, the management of the Company believes the Company will prevail in these proceedings. Accordingly, the management of the Company has not established any provision for contingencies arising from these proceedings as of December, 31, 2006. e) Other Tax Proceedings The Company is also party of other 100 tax lawsuits and administrative proceedings. Contingencies arising from these proceedings are not material to the Company if considered on an individual basis. Set forth below are the details of these proceedings: * proceeding filed against the Company with claims totaling R$1,071, seeking to collect certain taxes allegedly owed by the Company in connection with the irregular remittance of goods by the Company to the Manaus Free Trade Area (Zona Franca de Manaus ); proceeding filed against the Company with claims totaling R$845, seeking to collect contributions to the National Service of Industrial Learning (Servio Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial - SENAI) allegedly owed by the Company;

18

* proceeding filed against the Company with claims totaling R$2,277, seeking to collect amounts allegedly owed by the Company in connection with tax credits for fuel used in the transportation of cattle to slaughterhouses; *

proceeding filed against the Company with claims totaling R$1,243, seeking to collect amounts allegedly owed by the Company with respect to an irregular invoice for the sale of certain products of the Company; proceeding filed against the Company with claims totaling R$453, seeking to collect amounts allegedly owed by the Company for not presenting evidence of the delivery of products sold by the Company to the applicable tax authority; other administrative tax proceedings with individual claims in amounts below R$200, which total R$5,521 in the aggregate.

Labor Proceedings As of March 31, 2007, the Company was party to (i) 671 labor lawsuits and 79 administrative proceedings (autos de infrao ) filed by the Regional Labor Offices (Delegacias Regionais do Trabalho ) involving claims in the total aggregate amount of R$16,561 and (ii) two administrative proceedings filed by the Labor Department of Justice (Ministrio Pblico do Trabalho ) involving claims in the total aggregate amount of R$258. Based on the opinion of the Companys external legal counsel, the Companys management recorded a provision in the amount of R$4,869 for losses arising from such proceedings as of March 31, 2007. Most of these lawsuits were filed by former employees of the Company seeking overtime payments and payments relating to their exposure to health hazards. Approximately 8,0% of these lawsuits were filed by employees of third-party companies that provide outsourced services to the Company. Pursuant to Brazilian labor laws, the Company is jointly liable for failure of these third-party companies to comply with applicable labor laws. Civil Proceedings a) Slaughterhouse at Araputanga In 2001, the Company (formerly known as Friboi Ltda.), entered into a purchase agreement for the acquisition of one slaughterhouse located in the City of Araputanga, State of Mato Grosso, from Frigorfico Araputanga S.A. (Frigorfico Araputanga) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately R$36 million. As a result of the payment of the purchase price by the Company and the acknowledgement by Frigorfico Araputanga of compliance by the Company with its obligations under the purchase agreement, a public deed reflecting the transfer of title of the slaughterhouse from Frigorfico Araputanga to the Company was registered with the applicable real estate notary.

As (i) Frigorfico Araputanga was a beneficiary of certain tax benefits granted by the Federal Government through an agency responsible for fostering the development of the northern region of Brazil (Superintendncia de Desenvolvimento da Amaznia SUDAM) and (ii) [the slaughterhouse sold to the Company was granted by Frigorfico Araputanga to SUDAM as collateral for these tax benefits the consent of SUDAM was required for the registration of the public deed with the applicable real estate notary. In June 2004, Frigorfico Araputanga S.A. filed a lawsuit against the Company in a state court located in the City of Araputanga, State of Mato Grosso, alleging that the Company breached the purchase agreement and seeking an injunction to prevent the Company from finalizing the transfer of the slaughterhouse and a declaratory judgment that the purchase agreement and the public deed registered with the real estate notary were null and void.

19

In the lawsuit, Frigorfico Araputanga claimed that the sale of the slaughterhouse should be nullified as the Company did not obtain the consent of SUDAM in order to register the public deed with the applicable real estate notary. In January 2005, the court of appeals (Tribunal de Justia do Mato Grosso ) held that the Company had complied with all material terms of the purchase agreement. The lawsuit was subsequently submitted to the review of the Federal Court of Cceres, under No. 2005.36.01.001618-8, in light of the inclusion of the Federal Government as a party to the lawsuit. The Company obtained the consent of Unidade de Gerenciamento dos Fundos de Investimento - UGFIN, the successor of SUDAM, and this consent was declared valid by the Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (Tribunal Federal da 1 Regio ) under Proceedings No. 2006.01.00.024584-7 and 2006.01.00.019052-8.

As a result, the Company successfully registered the public deed transferring title of the slaughterhouse from Frigorfico Araputanga to the Company with the real estate registry. This proceeding remains pending until court-appointed accounting experts confirm the amount of the payments made in connection with the proceeding and certain appeals are reviewed by the applicable appellate courts. Based on the opinion of the Companys legal counsel, supported by precedents of the Federal Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal ) and the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justia ), the Companys management believes that the Company will prevail in these proceedings. Accordingly, the Companys management has not established any provision for contingencies arising from these proceedings. b) Trademark Infringement In July 2005, Frigorfico Araputanga also filed a lawsuit against the Company seeking damages in the amount of R$26,900 and punitive damages in the amount of R$100,000 for the use by the Company of the trademark Frigoara without Frigorfico Araputangas consent. The amounts of the claim were based upon a report presented by Frigorfico Araputanga to the trial court, which appraised the value of the trademark Frigoara at R$315,000.

The Company presented its defense against this lawsuit alleging that (i) the lawsuit should be analyzed and reviewed together with the lawsuit relating to the purchase of the slaughterhouse from Frigorfico Araputanga by the Company, (ii) the trademark Frigoara was used by the Company for a limited period of time, with the written consent and upon the request of Frigorfico Araputanga (the use of the trademark by the Company was a requirement of SUDAM to consent to the registration of the public deed contemplating the transfer of the slaughterhouse from Frigorfico Araputanga to the Company) and (iii) the amount of any damages under the lawsuit should be limited to a percentage of products sold by the Company under the trademark Frigoara, pursuant to article 208 of the Intellectual Property Law. Almost all of the products manufactured by the Company were marketed under the trademark Friboi. The only product marketed by the Company under the trademark Frigoara was minced meat, in limited amounts.

In light of the foregoing, the Companys management established a provision for losses arising from this lawsuit in the amount of R$600 as of December 31, 2006. Following a determination of the judge of the trial court, the lawsuit was submitted to the review of the Federal Court of Cceres on January 17, 2007. The judge of the Federal Court of Crceres determined that this lawsuit be joined with the lawsuit relating to the purchase of the slaughterhouse by the Company from Frigorfico Araputanga. The Federal Government will be notified to issue an opinion on the matter under discussion in this lawsuit. Based on the Companys legal counsel opinion supported by precedents of the Federal Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal ) and the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justia ), the Companys management believes that the Company will prevail in these proceedings.

c) Administrative Council of Economic Defense (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econmica), or CADE In 2005, the Economic Law Secretariat (Secretaria de Direito Econmico ) initiated administrative proceedings against 11 Brazilian beef processing companies, including the Company (formerly Friboi Ltda.) and other large beef producers. The proceedings relate to allegations made by the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Cattle Raising (Confederao da Agricultura e Pecuria do Brasil ) that these beef companies may have breached Brazilian antitrust regulations by entering into agreements to establish the price of cattle purchased by them for slaughter. The SDE submitted these proceedings to the review of the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (Conselho Administrativo da Defesa Econmica CADE) with a recommendation to impose fines on the beef producers which are party to the proceedings. If CADE ultimately confirms such recommendation, CADE may impose administrative penalties on the Company in accordance with articles 23 and 24 of Law No. 8,884/84, including an administrative fine that may range from 1.0% to 30.0% of the Companys annual gross revenues for the years prior to the proceeding. Based on the evidence presented in connection with these proceedings and on the arguments of its defense (that will be presented together with the opinion of a renowned Economics professor), the Companys management believes that CADE will grant the Company a favorable decision under these proceedings. In particular, the Company believes that there can be no standard discount prices for cattle carcass. Based on the opinion of the Companys legal counsel supported by favorable domestic and international precedents, the Companys management believes that the Company will prevail in these proceedings. Accordingly, the Companys management has not established any provision for contingencies arising from these proceedings. d) Accidents in the Workplace At December 31, 2006, the Company was party to several civil lawsuits, under which certain of the Companys former and current employees are seeking damages from accidents that occurred in the workplace, in amounts varying based on their salaries. Based on the opinion of the Companys legal counsel, the Companys management recorded a provision for losses arising from these lawsuits in the amount of R$12,690 as of March 31, 2007.

19 Managements Compensation
For the period of three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the aggregate compensation paid by the Company to the Companys management was R$ 990 and R$ 1,295, respectively.

20 Insurance Coverage (unaudited)


The Company adopts the policy of maintaining insurance coverage for property, plant and equipment and inventories that are subject to risks, in the amounts considered sufficient to cover any loss arising from such risks. Due to the multi-location aspect of its business, the Company contracts insurance covering the maximum possible loss per operational unit. The insurance covers the following events: fire, flooding and landslide.

As of March 31, 2007 and 2006 the maximum individual coverage was R$ 99,000, considering all types of risks.

The insurance coverage related to the controlled Company Swift Armour has the same characteristics as explained above, and the maximum coverage as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 was US$ 65,000 (equivalent to R$ 132,633 as of March 31, 2007).

21 Risk Management and Derivative Instruments


The Companys operations are exposed to market risks primarily related to exchange rates, the credit worthiness of its customers, interest rates and cattle prices. These types of risks are monitored by its treasury area, which manages these risks through a system of statistical computation of the Value at Risk (VAR) and its technical committee. This committee is composed of board members and by the Companys financial executives, who monitor the risks, limits on financial positions and overall level of risk exposure. a) Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Risk The exchange rate and interest rate risks related to financings and loans, marketable securities and accounts receivable from clients denominated in foreign currencies are hedged on a transaction by transaction basis, through derivative instruments, such as swap contracts (dollar to CDI or LIBOR to fixed interest rates or vice-versa), futures contracts traded on the Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros - BM&F and forward contracts. The notional value of the contracts is only accounted for in memorandum accounts. The results of over-the-counter trades in the futures market and daily adjustments of currency future contracts are made realized and liquidated; on the BM&F, and, as of March 31, 2007, are accounted for as Amounts receivable from or payable to future contracts. The results of over-the-counter trades contracted with a future maturity date are recorded on the balance sheet. b) Credits risks

The Company is exposed to credit risks in respect of accounts receivable from customers, which are partially mitigated through the diversification of the credit profile of the Companys customer portfolio. The Company does not have a client that represents more than 10% of its combined net sales revenue, and its clients have good financial and operating indicators. c) Purchase Price of Cattle

The Company is exposed to volatility with respect to the price of cattle, caused by climate factors, supply, transportation cost and agricultural policies. According to its inventory policy, the Company maintains individual physical control of its livestock, which includes anticipated purchases combined with operations on the future markets.

24

d) Estimated Market Value The assets and liabilities of the Company are accounted for in the consolidated balance sheet and in the pro forma balance sheets of JBS S.A. based on their respective acquisition cost, and the related classification of revenue and expenses in the income statement is accounted for based on its expected fair market or liquidation value.

SUMMARY OF THE PERIOD


During the 1Q07, JBS continued its growth and leadership consolidation in the markets where it operates. The Company posted a substantial increase in revenues, with net sales totaling R$1.1 billion for the quarter, driven by its ability to increase slaughtering capacity and sales, both in the domestic and international markets. It also improved operationally, posting an EBITDA margin of 14.4%, compared to 13.7% in the same period of last year. In accordance to its expansion strategy, and taking advantage of opportunities for consolidation within the sector, as well as the opening and growth of international markets, in January of 2007, JBS, through Swift-Armour Argentina S.A., acquired a plant in Berazategui, Buenos Aires, with a slaughtering capacity of approximately 1,000 heads per day. Also in January of 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of the North American company SB Holdings and its subsidiaries, Tupman Thurlow, Astro Sales International and Austral Foods for US$11.9 million. SB Holdings is one of the largest industrialized beef distributors in the North American market and is the proprietor of the Hereford, Manco Pride and Rip n Ready brands. This recent acquisition provided JBS with direct access to the processed beef market in the United States. On March 19, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Mr. Jay Earl Link, an American entrepreneur in the beef jerky business, pursuant to which each of Mr. Link and JBS will own 50% of a new company that will produce and market beef jerky in Brazil and in the United States.

THE BEEF INDUSTRY


According to the USDA, with an estimated 187.7 million heads of cattle in 2007, Brazil has the worlds largest cattle herd for commercial purposes. Over the last 15 years, the Brazilian beef industry has undergone an intense process of internationalization and Brazilian beef exports increased from less than 5% of domestic beef production in the early 1990s to approximately 20.0% in 2006. This has occurred despite the fact that Brazil has access to less than 50.0% of the worlds fresh beef markets, since countries from the Pacific Block such as the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan and South Korea prohibit the importing of fresh beef from Brazil. Brazilian beef exports have grown by 25.7% on average from 2000 to 2006, as a result of: Increased productivity in the Brazilian beef sector and reduced production costs; Expanded marketing and advertising efforts; An increased number of export destinations; and A gradual reduction of sanitary and trade barriers. In spite of sanitary and commercial restrictions imposed by some of the leading beef importing countries, Brazilian exports are expected to continue growing primarily due to: A growth in demand in industrialized and developing countries; A continuous reduction of sanitary barriers; A reduction of cattle herd in Russia and the consequent decrease in its production capacity; A reduction of subsidies to cattle ranchers and exporters in the European Union, which has been negatively affecting its production and increasing its deficit; and Beef imports expected in China as a result of the significant growth in its beef consumption.

BRAZILIAN BEEF MARKET


Brazil offers several competitive advantages in producing beef when compared to its competitors in the international market, which contribute to its consolidation as the worlds leading beef producer and exporter. These competitive advantages include: Low Production Cost: Brazil has the lowest production cost among major global producers; High Growth Potential: Brazil currently has the largest commercial cattle herd in the world and large amounts of available grazing land, with an estimated capacity to sustantially increase its existing cattle herd and beef production; Disease-Resistant Breeding Practices: Unlike most other major beef producers (including the United States and the European Union), Brazilian cattle are grass-fed and/or are provided vegetable-based feed, which is largely viewed as a factor that eliminates the risk of an outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (commonly referred to as mad cow disease), or BSE,

29

among Brazilian cattle. In addition, Brazilian beef is characterized by its low fat content and lack of use of chemicals and growth hormones (used by other countries), which are key factors used in marketing Brazilian beef, primarily to developed nations; Strong domestic market demand: Brazil has a very large domestic market, which currently consumes approximately 80.0% of its beef production. Domestic market sales increase revenue through an optimization of the value of the carcass, a competitive advantage when compared to other world beef producers;

For the 1Q07, JBS reported net revenues in the domestic market of R$460.2 million, a 19.6% increase over the 1Q06. This is primarily due to a 12.7% growth in sales volumes, which rose from 167.9 thousand tons in the 1Q06 to 189.2 thousand tons in the 1Q07, as well as to a growth of 6.2% in average sales prices in comparison to the same period of last year. Fresh beef volumes in the domestic market grew by 12.9% to 138.5 thousand tons, from 122.6 thousand tons in the 1Q06. This growth is attributable to a recovery of average sales price in Brazil during the quarter, which had been affected by the outbreak of the avian influenza that occurred in several countries in 2006. The outbreak of the avian influenza resulted in lower poultry consumption in international markets, reducing poultry exports from Brazilian producers which, having no other alternative, allocated their export production towards the domestic market. With an increase in supply, poultry prices in the domestic market were reduced, pressuring prices of other sources of protein to follow this reduction. Recovering poultry exports from Brazil has decreased the competition between poultry and fresh beef and resulted in an increase of average sales prices, with a consequent growth in fresh beef volumes sold in the domestic market during the period. Processed beef volumes have increased by 28.3% to 12.6 thousand tons in the 1Q07, from 9.8 thousand tons in the 1Q06, primarily due to the launching of a new line of ready-to-eat meals in Brazil in the end of 2006, the entrance of JBS in the foodservice business with product sales to restaurants and an increase in the consumption of the Companys products. As a consequence, processed beef

sales as a percentage of total net sales in the domestic market increased from 14% in the 1Q06 to 15% in 1Q07. The average sales price of processed beef has decreased by 2.4% in the 1Q07, mainly driven by the product mix sold throughout the quarter.

JBS net export revenues rose by 24.8% to R$626.0 million compared to R$501.5 million for the 1Q06, despite the appreciation of the Brazilian Real that occurred during the period. This result was mainly driven by increased sales volumes of both fresh and processed beef sold throughout the quarter.

33

The factors that caused the increase in volumes are the following: An increase in exports to the European Union, due mainly to a reduction of subsidies to cattle ranchers and exporters, which has been negatively affecting its production and increasing its deficit; Increased exports to Russia due to a gradual reduction of its cattle herd and the consequent decrease in its production capacity; Increased volumes exported to Africa, especially to Argelia and Egypt, one of the countries where the Company maintains a subsidiary to market and distribute its products; Opening of new markets in Latin America and growth of exports to other Latin American countries; An increase in exports to Asia (i.e.: Hong Kong); Expectations with regards to the international beef industry remain optimistic primarily due to (i) the growth in demand in industrialized and developing countries, (ii) a gradual reduction of sanitary and economic barriers imposed by some of the leading consuming and importing countries, (iii) a reduction of cattle herd in Russia and the consequent decrease in its production capacity, (iv) a reduction of subsidies to cattle ranchers and exporters in the European Union, which has been negatively affecting its production and (v) beef imports expected in China as a result of the significant growth in its beef consumption. Average export sales prices have decreased by 4.3% for the quarter, mainly driven by the product mix sold during the quarter, as the Company began to export higher volumes to Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries. In terms of product mix sold by the Company in international markets, fresh beef sales increased to 70% of total export revenues from 64% in the 1Q06, mainly driven by the increase in volumes sold during the period.

Net sales revenue increased by 22.6%, from R$886.1 million in the 1Q06 to R$1.1 billion in the 1Q07, primarily due to a growth of 19.9% in the total sales volume and to an increase in the average sales price of 2.2% compared to the same period of last year. The increase in volume is a result of higher

35

exports for the quarter, which grew by 35.9%, and to a growth of 12.7% in domestic sales in comparison to the same period of last year. Cost of goods sold increased by 21.5% to R$828.5 million in the 1Q07 from R$681.7 million in the 1Q06, primarily due to an increase in the volume of cattle slaughtered to meet the growing demand for the Companys products and to increased volumes sold during the quarter. As net sales revenue increased at a faster rate than cost of goods sold, the Companys gross profit increased by 26.0% to R$257.6 million in the 1Q07 from R$204.4 million in the 1Q06. Gross margin increased to 23.7% in 1Q07 from 23.1% in the same quarter of last year. General and administrative expenses fell to 1.9% as a percentage of net sales from 2.6% in the 1Q06 due to the growth in revenues posted for the quarter. Selling expenses increased to R$99.9 million from R$77.6 million in the 1Q06 mainly due to the increase in total sales volumes during the period. The Company also posted non-recurrent expenses totaling R$50.6 million, which are related to its initial public offering. As a result of the factors described above, JBS net income decreased by 67.0% to R$10.6 million in the 1Q07 from R$32.3 million in the 1Q06. EBITDA increased by 28.4% to R$156.2 million, compared to R$121.7 million in the 1Q06, while EBITDA margin grew to 14.4% compared to 13.7% in the same quarter of last year.

RECENT EVENTS
In accordance to its expansion strategy, and taking advantage of opportunities for consolidation within the sector, as well as the opening and growth of international markets, in January of 2007, JBS, through Swift-Armour Argentina S.A., acquired a plant in Berazategui, Buenos Aires, with a slaughtering capacity of approximately 1,000 heads per day. Also in January of 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of the North American company SB Holdings and its subsidiaries, Tupman Thurlow, Astro Sales International and Austral Foods for US$11.9 million. SB Holdings is one of the largest industrialized beef distributors in the North American market and is the proprietor of the Hereford, Manco Pride and Rip n Ready brands. This recent acquisition provided JBS with direct access to the processed beef market in the United States. For the year 2006, SB Holdings consolidated net sales revenue totaled US$55.7 million. On March 19, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Mr. Jay Earl Link, an American entrepreneur in the beef jerky business, pursuant to which each of Mr. Link and JBS will own 50% of a new company that will produce and market beef jerky in Brazil and in the United States. JBS will contribute its beef jerky facility in the City of Santo Antnio da Posse, So Paulo, to the joint venture. This facility is currently being built and it estimated to be valued at approximately US$10.0 million when completed. Mr. Link will contribute US$4.0 million in cash and two beef jerky facilities located in the United States (with an estimated aggregate value of US$6.0 million) to the joint venture. It is expected that the joint venture will enter into credit facilities in the approximate amount of US$30.0 million in order to finance its working capital requirements.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING


On March 28, 2007, in accordance to the terms of CVM Instruction 358, of January 3, 2002, and article 53 of CVM Instruction 400, of December 29, 2003, JBS S.A. initiated a public offering for a primary and secondary distribution of 200,000,000 of it common shares, representing 23.5% of its capital, being 150,000,000 million shares related to the primary offer and 50,000,000 shares related to the secondary offer, all of them listed at the So Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) in the Novo Mercado

38

segment, under the symbol JBSS3, at the price of R$8.00 per share, with proceeds totaling R$1.6 billion. The Company has received a total of R$1.2 billion as proceeds from the primary offer, before the deduction of commissions and related expenses. JBS will use the majority of the net proceeds from this offering to: (i) additional investments in, and purchase of equipment for, its plants in order to increase their operating capacity; (ii) the acquisition of companies or assets that have not yet been identified in the beef industry; and (iii) strengthening working capital. Decisions as to the use of proceeds for operating capacity expansion or for acquisitions will only be made after economical and legal evaluations are made on the investment opportunities in order to identify how they will add value to the Companys shareholders. Although JBS strategy contemplates acquisitions as a way to accelerate its future growth, while the Brazilian and Argentine markets are very fragmented and offer several acquisition opportunities, it is not possible to forecast when an acquisition may occur or the amounts involved in future transactions. Any acquisition that may be made by the Company will be communicated to the market in accordance to the applicable legislation. The table below summarizes the estimated and approximate percentages and the intended use of the net proceeds from the primary offer:
