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,

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.

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

10

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

13

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.
