"Summary -- Summary Financial and Other Information."
Market and Other Information
Industry and market data included in this offering memorandum is based on industry publications,
government publications, reports by market research firms or other published sources. Some industry and market
data is also based on our estimates, which are derived from internal analyses as well as third-party sources.
Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and cannot
assure you of its accuracy or completeness. Data regarding our industry and markets is intended to provide
general guidance but is inherently imprecise. In addition, although we believe these estimates were reasonably
derived, you should not place undue reliance on estimates, as they are inherently uncertain.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum contains forward-looking statements, including within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that
include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar
expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are
based upon reasonable assumptions, these statements are subject to several risks, known and unknown, and
uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including as a result of the following
factors:
· the implementation of the principal operating strategies of our company, including integration of recent
acquisitions as well as acquisition or investment opportunities that may occur in the future;
· general economic, political and business conditions in the markets in which we do business, both in Brazil
and abroad, that affect prices of and demand for our products;
· the cyclicality and volatility of raw materials and selling prices;
· health risks related to the food industry;
· the risk of outbreak of animal diseases, in particular avian influenza and A(H1N1) influenza;
· export duties and tariffs, as well as more stringent trade barriers, in key export markets and increased
regulation of food safety and security;
· strong international and domestic competition;
· the effects of the global financial market and economic crisis;
· interest rate fluctuations, inflation and exchange rate movements of the real in relation to the U.S. dollar
and other currencies;
· the declaration or payment of dividends;
· the direction and future operation of our company;
· the implementation of our company's financing strategy and capital expenditure plans;
· the factors or trends affecting our company's financial condition or results of operations;
· changes in environmental, labor and tax policies and legislation;
· the cost and availability of financing and our ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms;
· compliance with existing and future government regulations; and
· other factors identified or discussed under "Risk Factors."
Because they involve risks and uncertainties, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance, and our actual results or other developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed
in the forward-looking statements. With respect to forward-looking statements that relate to future financial
results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts
and projections. Because of these uncertainties, potential investors should not rely on these forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS
BRF is incorporated under the laws of Brazil. All, or substantially all, of its directors and officers reside
outside the United States. Substantially all of the assets of BRF are located in Brazil. As a result, it may not be
possible (or it may be difficult) for you to effect service of process upon us or these other persons within the
United States or to enforce judgments obtained in United States courts against us or them, including those
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
In the terms and conditions of the notes, BRF will (1) agree that the courts of the State of New York and the
federal courts of the United States, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, will
have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise
out of or in connection with the notes and, for such purposes, irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts
and (2) name an agent for service of process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. We have been
advised by Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados, our Brazilian counsel, that a judgment of a United
States court for the payment of money, including for civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of
the United States, may be enforced in Brazil, subject to certain requirements described below. Such counsel has
advised that a judgment against BRF, its directors and officers thereof, or certain advisors named herein obtained
in the United States would be enforceable in Brazil upon confirmation of that judgment by the Superior Court of
Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justiça). That confirmation will be available only if the U.S. judgment:
· fulfills all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the United States;
· is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction after proper service of process is made or sufficient evidence
of our or these other persons absence is given, in accordance with Brazilian law;
· is final and therefore not subject to appeal;
· is for payment of a specified sum of money;
· is authenticated by a Brazilian diplomatic office in the United States and is accompanied by a sworn
translation into Portuguese; and
· is not against Brazilian national sovereignty or public policy or equitable principles (as set forth in
Brazilian law).
The confirmation process may be time-consuming and may also give rise to difficulties in enforcing the
foreign judgment in Brazil. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that confirmation would be obtained, that the
confirmation process would be conducted in a timely manner or that a Brazilian court would enforce a monetary
judgment, including for violation of the securities laws of countries other than Brazil, including the federal
securities laws of the United States.
We have been further advised by our Brazilian counsel that (1) original actions may be brought in
connection with this offering memorandum predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States in
Brazilian courts and that, subject to applicable law, Brazilian courts may enforce liabilities in such actions
against BRF or its directors and officers thereof and certain advisors named herein, provided that provisions of
the federal securities laws of the United States do not contravene Brazilian public policy, national sovereignty or
equitable principles and provided further that Brazilian courts can assert jurisdiction over such actions; and
(2) the ability of a creditor to satisfy a judgment by attaching certain assets of BRF or the other persons named
above is limited by provisions of Brazilian law, given that assets are located in Brazil.
In addition, a plaintiff (whether Brazilian or non-Brazilian) that resides outside Brazil during the course of
litigation in Brazil must provide a bond to guarantee court costs and legal fees if the plaintiff owns no real
property in Brazil that could secure payment. This bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of
court fees and defendant attorney's fees, as determined by the Brazilian judge, except in such instances involving
(1) enforcement of foreign judgments that have been duly confirmed by the Superior Court of Justice (Superior
Tribunal de Justiça), (2) collection of claims based on instruments that may be enforced in Brazil without review
of merit (título executivo extrajudicial), which does not include the notes, and (3) counterclaims (reconvenção).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cannot assure you that confirmation of any judgment will be obtained, that the
process described above can be conducted in a timely manner, or that Brazilian courts will enforce a judgment
for violation of the federal securities laws of the United States with respect to the notes.
