Period Highlights

   The conclusion of the investment plan in the USA and Australia, initiated in July
    2007 through the Swift & Co acquisition.

   As announced it was realized the renewal of credit lines in the total amount of
    US$750 million.

   JBS’ net revenue increased 256.4%, from R$3,967.6 million in 2006 to
    R$14,141.6 million in 2007.

   The Company’s EBITDA margin in 2007 was 4.18%, comprised by the 14.2%
    margin of JBS MERCOSUL and -1.1% margin of JBS USA;

   In the 4Q07, JBS MERCOSUL’s EBITDA margin was 15.1%.

    The pork division in JBS USA in the 4Q07 returned its highest EBITDA margin
    in the past 4 years: 6.8%.

   In the 4Q07, EBITDA margin of JBS Australia was 3.4%, the second highest
    EBITDA in the past 4 years.

   The company’s results were negatively impacted by the exchange variation on
    investments made in the foreign subsidiaries.

    The acquisitions described in the recent events, allied with the positive
    atmosphere in the global beef trade and the improved margins in the USA in
    2008, create a positive environment for JBS to achieve positive results this
    year.
