The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B de C.V. 

(Thousands of pesos) 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de 
C.V. and subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position 
as  at  January  1,  2011  and  December  31,  2011  and  2012,  the  consolidated  statements  of 
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended at December 31, 2011 
and 2012, and notes, comprising 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  these  consolidated  financial 
statements  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards,  and  for  such  internal 
control  as  management  determines  is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  consolidated  financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Auditors’ responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our 
audits.  We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  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  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures 
in the consolidated financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including 
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether 
due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the 
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.   

Opinion 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
consolidated  financial  position  of  Industrias  Bachoco,  S.A.B.  de  C.V.  and  subsidiaries  as  at  January,  1, 
2011  and  December  31,  2011  and  2012,  and  the  consolidated  results  of  their  operations  and  the 
consolidated  cash  flows  for  the  years  ended  at  December  31,  2011  and  2012,  in  accordance  with 
International Financial Reporting Standards.

Emphasis of Matter 

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following: 

As mentioned in note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 1, 2011, the Company 
acquired 100% percent of the voting stock of OK Industries, Inc. (the “Acquired Entity”) which owns 
five consolidated subsidiaries. OK Industries, Inc. operates and is located in the United States of 
America (U.S.A.). The results of operations of the Acquired Entity have been included in the 
consolidated financial statements from such date. The acquisition of this company originated a gain 
on bargain purchase of $1,000,565, which was booked in other income in 2011. 

As mentioned in note 7 to the consolidated financial statement, on March 2, 2012 Bachoco USA, LLC. 
was incorporated as a subsidiary of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V., and acquired 100% of the shares 
of  OK  Industries.  From  such  date,  Bachoco  USA,  LLC.  acts  as  holding  company  of  OK  Industries,  Inc. 
and, therefore, of the operations of the Company in the U.S.A.

INDUSTRIAS BACHOCO, S. A .B. DE C. V. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 

(Thousands of pesos, except per share amounts) 

(1) 

Reporting entity 

Industrias  Bachoco,  S.A.B.  de  C.V.  and  subsidiaries  (collectively  referred  to  as  “Bachoco”  or  the 
“Company”)  a public stock  corporation with variable capital was incorporated on  April 17, 1980, as  a 
legal entity. The Company’s registered address is Avenida Tecnológico 401, Ciudad Industrial, Celaya, 
Guanajuato, México. 

The Company is engaged in breeding, processing and marketing of poultry (chicken and eggs), swine 
and other products (principally balanced animal feed). Bachoco is a holding company that has control 
over a group of subsidiaries (see note 7).   

The  shares  of  the  Company  are  listed  on  the  Mexican  Stock  Exchange  (MSE)  under  the  symbol 
“Bachoco”; and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), under the symbol “IBA”. 

(2) 

Basis of preparation 

a)      Statement of compliance 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”),  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standard  Board  (IASB), 
adopted  by  public  entities  in  Mexico  in  accordance  with  the  amendments  to  Rules  for  Public 
Companies  and  other  Entities  Trading  on  the  Mexican  Stock  Exchange  Market,  established  by  the 
National  Banking  and  Securities  Commission  on  January  27,  2009  according  to  which,  beginning  in 
2012 the Company is required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the 
IASB. 

These are the Company’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, and 
the IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, has been applied. 

On  April  19,  2012  Bachoco  issued  its  last  consolidated  financial  statements  prepared  under  Mexican 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  (“NIF”)    as  of  December  2010  and  2011  and  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011. 

Note  33  contain  an  explanation  of  how  the  transition  to  IFRS  has  affected  the  financial  position, 
financial performance and cash flows reported by the Company. 

On  April  15,  2013,  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  notes  were 
authorized by the Company’s Finance Director, C.P. Daniel Salazar Ferrer and Controller Director  C.P. 
Marco  Antonio  Esparza  Serrano,  for  the  Audit  Committee,  Board  of  Directors  and  Stockholders’ 
approvals.  In  accordance  with  the  General  Corporations  Law  and  the  bylaws  of  the  Company,  the 
stockholders are empowered to modify the consolidated financial statements after issuance. 

22 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
b) 

Basis of measurement 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the 
following material items in the statement of financial position: 

•  Financial  derivative  instruments  for  trading    and  hedging  purposes  attributable  to  fair  value, 

primary investment securities and equity securities at fair value in gains or losses; 

•  Non-derivative financial instruments at fair value though profit or loss re measured at fair value.  

•  Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell; 

•  The defined benefit plan asset are recognized at fair value;  

c) 

   Functional and presentation currency 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Mexican pesos (“pesos” or “$”), 
national currency of México, which is the Company’s recording and functional currency, except for the 
foreign subsidiary that uses the dollar as its recording and functional currency. 

For  disclosure  purposes,  in  the  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  “thousands  of  pesos”  or  “$”  means 
thousands of Mexican pesos, and “thousands of dollars” means thousands of U.S. dollars. 

When  it  is  deemed  relevant,  certain  amounts  presented  in  the  notes  to  the  financial  statements  are 
included between parentheses as a convenience translation into thousands of dollars, into thousands 
of pesos, or both, as applicable. These translations are provided as informative data and should not be 
construed that these amounts should be converted into thousands of pesos or thousands of dollars at 
the indicated rate. 

d) 

Use of estimates and judgments 

IFRS  requires 
The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates. 

in  conformity  with 

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting 
estimates are recognized in the period in which the facts and circumstances that support a change in 
estimates occur and in any future periods affected. 

Information  about  critical  judgments  in  applying  accounting  policies  that  have  the  most  significant 
effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following 
notes: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

Note 10 – valuation of financial instruments 
Note 11 – allowance for doubtful accounts  
Note 12 – inventories 
Note 13 – biological assets 
Note 15 – assets available for sale  
Note 16 – useful lives of property, plant and equipment 
Note 21 – deferred income tax assets

The  information  on  assumptions  and  uncertainty  of  estimates  having  a  significant  risk  of  a  material 
adjustment within the next year is included in the note below: 

•  Note 28 – contingencies. 

(3) 

Significant accounting policies 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these 
consolidated  financial  statements,  and  have  been  applied  consistently  by  the  Company  and  its 
subsidiaries in preparing the opening consolidated IFRS statement of financial position as at January 1, 
2011, for the purposes of the transition to IFRS.  

(a) 

Basis of consolidation 

i.  Business acquisitions 

Acquisitions since January 1, 2011 

Business acquisitions made since January 1, 2011 are accounted for by the purchase method. For each 
business  acquisition,  the  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree  is  valued  either  at  fair  value  or 
according to the proportionate interest in acquiree’s identifiable net assets.  

On  a  business  acquisition,  the  Company  evaluates  the  financial  assets  acquired  and  the  financial 
liabilities  assumed  for  proper  classification  and  designation  according  to  the  contractual  terms, 
economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date.   

Goodwill is originally valued at cost, and represents any excess of  the transferred  consideration over 
the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the goodwill is negative, a bargain purchase gain 
is recognized immediately in profit or loss. 

Transaction  costs,  other  than  those  associated  with  the  issue  of  debt  or  equity  securities,  that  the 
Company incurs related to a business combination are expensed as incurred. 

Any  contingent  consideration  payable  is  measured  at  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date.    If  the 
contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted 
for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are 
recognized in profit or loss. 

Acquisitions prior to January 1, 2011 

As part of its transition to IFRS, the Company elected not to restate those business combinations that 
occurred prior to January 1, 2011. Goodwill in respect of acquisitions prior to this date represents the 
amount recognized under the accounting criteria previously followed by the Company. 

24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ii.  Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Company.  The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are 
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date 
that control ceases (see note 7). 

iii.Transactions eliminated in consolidation 

Intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealized  gain  and  loss  arising  from  intra-group 
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.  

b)  Foreign currency 

i.Foreign currency transactions 

Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  are  translated  to  the  respective  functional  currencies  of  the 
Company  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that 
date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in 
the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  period,  adjusted  for  effective  interest  and  payments 
during  the period, and the  amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the  exchange rate  at  the 
end of the reporting period. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value 
are  retranslated  to  the  functional  currency  at  the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  that  the  fair  value  was 
determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 

Foreign currency differences arising in retranslation are recognized in profit or loss. 

ii.Foreign operations 

The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations,  including  goodwill  and  fair  value  adjustments  arising 
on  acquisition,  are  translated  to  pesos  at  exchange  rates  at  the  reporting  date.  The  income  and 
expenses of foreign operations are translated to pesos at the average exchange rate of the period of 
the transactions.  

Foreign  currency  differences  are  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income,  and  presented  in  the 
foreign currency translation reserve in equity. 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from an item received from or payable to a foreign operation, 
whose settlement is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered part of a net 
investment in a foreign operation and are recognized under “other comprehensive income” account, 
and presented within equity in the foreign currency translation reserve. At 1 January 2011, as well as at 
31 December 2011 and 2012 the Company does not have such operations.  

25 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
c) 

Financial instruments 

i. Non-derivative financial assets 

Non-derivative  financial  instruments  include  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  trade  receivable  and  other 
receivables. 

The Company initially recognizes accounts receivables and cash equivalents on the date that they are 
originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss) 
are  recognized  initially  on  the  trade  date,  which  is  the  date  that  the  Group  becomes  a  party  to  the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. 

The  Company  derecognizes  a  financial  asset  when  the  contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  from  the 
asset  expire,  or  it  transfers  the  rights  to  receive  the  contractual  cash  flows  in  a  transaction  in  which 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. 

Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  and  the  net  amount  presented  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either 
to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

The  Company  has  the  following  non-derivative  financial  assets:  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through 
profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or 
is  designated  as  such  on  initial  recognition.  Financial  assets  are  designated  as  at  fair  value  through 
profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based 
on  their  fair  value  in  accordance  with  the  Company´s  documented  risk  management  or  investment 
strategy.  Upon  initial  recognition,  attributable  transaction  costs  are  recognized  in  profit  or  loss  as 
incurred.  Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  measured  at  fair  value,  and  changes 
therein are recognized in profit or loss. 

Held-to-maturity financial assets 

If the Company has the intention and ability to hold debt instruments to maturity quoted on an active 
market, then such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity.  Held-to-maturity financial assets 
are originally recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently to 
initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at their amortized cost by using the 
effective  interest  method,  less  any  impairment  losses.  Any  sale  or  reclassification  of  a  more  than 
insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments would result in the reclassification of all held-to-
maturity  investments  as  available-for-sale,  and  prevent  the  Company  from  classifying  investment 
securities as held-to-maturity for the current and the following two years. 

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents  

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or 
less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and 
are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments. 

Receivables 

Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. 
Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  receivables  are  measured  at  amortized  cost.  Receivables  comprise 
trade and other receivables. 

ii. Non-derivative financial liabilities  

All  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  initially  on  the  trade  date,  which  is  the  date  that  the  Company 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are satisfied, cancelled 
or expire. 

The  Company  has  the  following  non-derivative  financial  liabilities:  debt,  senior  bond  issuance,  trade 
and other payables. 

The  aforementioned  financial  liabilities  are  originally  recognized  at  fair  value,  plus  cost  directly 
attributable to the transaction.  Subsequently, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost 
during its term. 

iii. Derivative financial instruments 

Derivative financial instruments for fair value hedging or for trading purposes are initially recognized 
at fair value; any attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.  Subsequent 
to  initial  recognition,  the  derivative  financial  instruments  are  measured  at  fair  value,  and  changes  in 
fair value are immediately recognized in profit or loss. 

The  fair  value  of  derivative  financial  instruments  that  are  traded  in  recognized  financial  markets  is 
based on quotes issued by these markets; when a derivative financial instrument is traded “Over the 
Counter” market, the fair value is determined based on internal models and market inputs accepted in 
the financial environment. 

The  Company  analyzes  if  the  embedded  derivatives  exist  that  should  be  segregated  from  the  host 
contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and 
the embedded derivative are not closely related. A separate instrument with the same terms as those 
of the  embedded derivative meet the definition of a derivative, and the combined instrument is not 
measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.    Changes  in  fair  value  of  the  separable  embedded 
derivatives  are  immediately  recognized  in  profit  or  loss.  At  January  1,  2011,  December  31,  2011  and 
2012, the Company has not recognized embedded derivatives.

The  Company  has  derivative  instruments  for  accounting  fair  value  hedging  for  its  exposure  to 
commodity  price  risks  resulting  from  its  operating  activities.  Derivative  instruments  not  meeting  the 
requirements for hedge accounting treatment are accounted for as derivative trading instruments. 

On initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Company formally documents the 
relationship  between  the  hedging  instrument  and  hedged  item,  including  the  risk  management 
objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the 
methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. 

The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an 
ongoing  basis,  of  whether  the  hedging  instruments  are  expected  to  be  highly  effective  in  offsetting 
the changes in the fair value of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is 
designated and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80 – 125 percent. 

Derivatives  are  recognized  initially  at  fair  value;  any  attributable  transaction  costs  are  recognized  in 
profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and 
changes therein are accounted for as follows: 

Fair value hedging 

When  a  derivative  is  designated  as  a  fair  value  hedging  instrument,  the  fluctuations  of  both  the 
derivative and the primary position for the hedged risk(s) are measured at fair value and recognized in 
profit or loss. 

If  the  hedging  instrument  no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting,  expires  or  is  sold, 
terminated  or  exercised,  or  the  designation  is  revoked,  then  hedge  accounting  is  discontinued 
prospectively. 

iv. Capital stock 

Ordinary shares 

Ordinary  shares  are  classified  as  equity.  Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issuance  of 
ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

Stock repurchase  

When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which 
includes  directly  attributable  costs,  net  of  any  tax  effects,  is  recognized  as  a  deduction  from  equity. 
Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the reserve for own shares. 
When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received as well as the resulting 
surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in equity.

Property, plant and equipment 

i.Recognition and measurement 

Property, plant and equipment, except for land, are measured at the acquisition cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. As of the transition date to IFRS, the Company 
elected  the  “Deemed Cost”  option, thus recognizing the values  of  property, plant  and equipment  as 
determined under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards as of the transition date (see note 33). 

The acquisition cost includes the purchase price, as well as any cost directly attributable to the asset 
acquisition,  and  all  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  assets  to  a  working  condition  for  their 
intended use. 

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted 
for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 

A component of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is retired 
at the time of disposal or when economic benefits from use or disposal are not expected to be realized 
in the future.  Gains or losses on the sale of a property, plant and equipment item are determined by 
comparing  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  with  the  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment, 
and are recognized net under “other income” in profit or loss for the year. 

ii.Subsequent costs 

The  replacement  cost  of  a  property,  plant  and  equipment  item  is  capitalized  if  the  future  economic 
benefits  associated  with  the  cost  will  flow  to  the  Company  and  the  related  cost  may  be  reliably 
determined.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  replaced  item  is  written  off  from  the  accounting  records. 
Maintenance and repairs expenses related to property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. 

iii.Depreciation 

Depreciation  is  computed  on  the  amount  subject  to  depreciation,  which  is  the  asset  cost,  or  other 
amount  substituting  the  cost.  The  depreciable  amount  normally  does  not  reduce  residual  values  as 
they are not representative considering the industry in which the entity operates.  

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the assets 
and recognized in profit or loss beginning in the month following that in which they are available for 
use. Land is not depreciated. 

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant 
and equipment are as follows: 

•  Buildings 
•  Machinery and equipment 
•  Transportation equipment 
•  Computer equipment 
•  Furniture 

20 - 40 years 
  7 - 15 years 
         6 years 
         3 years 
         3 years 

29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
adjusted if appropriate. 

e) 

Goodwill 

Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  the  entities  over  which  control  is  obtained.  Negative  goodwill 
arises in the business combination at bargain purchase is recognized immediately in profit or loss. 

Goodwill  is  measured  at  cost  less  cumulative  impairment  losses  and  is  subject  to  annual  tests  for 
impairment. 

f) 

Biological assets 

Biological  assets  are  measured  at  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell,  with  any  change  therein  recognized  in 
profit or loss. Costs to sell include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets. 

The  Company’s  biological  assets  consist  of  hens  in  production,  laying  and  breeder  hens  incubatable 
eggs, and breeder pigs. 

When the fair value cannot be reliably, verifiably and objectively determined, the assets are valued at 
production cost less accumulated depreciation and any cumulative impairment loss. 

Cumulative  impairment  loss  in  productivity  of  poultry  and  breeder  pigs  is  estimated  based  on  the 
future life expected and determined on a straight-line basis. 

The  agricultural  products  obtained  from  biological  assets  are  live  chicken,  processed  chicken, 
commercial eggs and pigs available for sale, which are recognized as inventories in the statement of 
financial position. 

The Company is exposed to financial risks related to changes in chicken price. The Company does not 
contemplate  a  significant  drop  in  chicken  price  in  the  future;  therefore,  it  has  not  entered  into  any 
financial derivative or contract for managing the risk related to a decrease in chicken price. 

The Company reviews the chicken prices frequently so as to evaluate the need for having a financial 
instrument to manage the risk. 

The biological assets were classified in current and non-current assets, based on their availability and 
business cycle.

g) 

Leased assets 

Operating  leases  of  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2011  and  2012,  are  not  recognized  in  the 
Company’s statement of financial position.  The rentals paid by the Company for the operating leases 
are  recognized  in  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  by  the  straight-line  method  over  the  lease  term,  even 
though the payments are not made on the same basis. 

h) 

Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based 
on  the  average  costs,  and  includes  expenditure  incurred  in  acquiring  the  inventories,  production  or 
conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. 

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated 
costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Cost of sales represents cost of inventories at the time of sale, plus, if applicable, by reductions in the 
net realizable value of inventories during the year. 

The Company records the necessary allowances to recognize declines in the value of their inventories 
impairment,  obsolescence,  slow  movement  and  other  factors  that  may  indicate  that  the  use  or 
performance of the items that are part of inventory may be lower than the carrying value. 

i) 

Impairment 

i.Financial assets 

A financial asset that is not recorded at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting 
date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if 
there  is  objective  evidence  of  impairment  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  events  that  occurred  after  the 
initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows 
of that asset that can be estimated reliably. 

Objective  evidence  that  financial  assets  are  impaired  includes  default  or  delinquency  by  a  debtor, 
restructuring  of  an  amount  due  to  the  Company  on  terms  that  the  Company  would  not  consider 
otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment 
status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance 
of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or 
prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment. 

The  Company  considers  evidence  of  impairment  for  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost 
(accounts  receivables  and  held-to-maturity  investment  securities)  at  both  a  specific  asset  and 
collective  level.  All  individually  significant  receivables  and  held-to-maturity  investment  securities  are 
assessed  for  specific 
individually  significant  receivables  and  held-to-maturity 
investment  securities  found  not  to  be  specifically  impaired  are  then  collectively  assessed  for  any 

impairment.  All 

31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
impairment  that  has  been  incurred  but  not  yet  identified.  Assets  that  are  not  individually  significant 
are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. 

In  assessing  collective  impairment  the  Company  uses  historical  trends  of  the  probability  of  default, 
timing  of  recoveries  and  the  amount  of  loss  incurred,  adjusted  for  management’s  judgment  as  to 
whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater 
or less than suggested by historical trends. 

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  a  financial  asset  measured  at  amortised  cost  is  calculated  as  the 
difference  between  its  carrying  amount  of  the  asset,  and  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future 
cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected 
in an allowance account against receivables or held-to-maturity investment securities. Interest on the 
impaired  asset  continues  being  recognized.  When  a  subsequent  event  causes  the  amount  of 
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. 

ii.Non-financial assets 

The carrying amounts of the Company´s non-financial assets, other than inventories, biological assets 
and  deferred  tax  assets,  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  to  determine  whether  there  is  any 
indication  of  impairment.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  then  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is 
estimated.  Goodwill  and  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  tested  annually  for  impairment  on  the 
same dates. 

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the greater of its value in use and 
its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted 
to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market  assessments  of  the 
time  value  of  money  and  the  risks  specific  to  the  asset  or  CGU.  For  impairment  testing,  assets  that 
cannot  be  tested  on  an  individual  basis  are  grouped  together  into  the  smallest  group  of  assets  that 
generates cash inflows from continuing use that are independent of the cash inflows of other  assets 
CGU.  For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing  of  the  goodwill,  CGU  to  which  goodwill  has  been 
allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest 
level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes.  

Goodwill  acquired  in  a  business  combination  is  allocated  to  groups  of  CGU  that  are  expected  to 
benefit from the synergies of the combination. 

In  regards  to  goodwill,  the  Company  identifies  the  CGU  related  to  balanced  animal  feed  plants, 
chicken processing plants and some chicken farms for the Peninsula and Itsmo divisions in which such 
Goodwill was generated. 

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGU are 
allocated  first  to  reduce  the  carrying  amount  of  any  goodwill  allocated  to  the  CGU  (group  of  CGUs), 
and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata 
basis. 

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  goodwill  is  not  reversed.  For  other  assets,  an  impairment  loss  is 
reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that 
would  have  been  determined,  net  of  depreciation  or  amortization,  if  no  impairment  loss  had  been 
recognized.

Available-for-sale assets 

Assets  available  for  sale  mainly  consist  of  foreclosed  assets  as  well  as  an  aircraft  included  with  the 
acquisition of OK Industries, Inc. (note 6a). Management sold this aircraft in 2012. 

Immediately  before  classification  as  available-for-sale,  the  assets  are  remeasured  according  to  the 
Company’s accounting policies.  Subsequently, available-for-sale  assets are generally recorded at the 
lower  of  carrying  amount  and  fair  value  less  cost  to  sale  the  assets.  Impairment  losses  on  initial 
classification of available-for-sale assets and subsequent revaluation gains or losses are recognized in 
profit or loss. Gains exceeding any cumulative impairment loss are not recognized. 

k) 

 Other assets 

Other  long-term  assets  primarily  include  prepayments  for  the  purchase  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment, investments in insurance policies and investment in an associate company. 

At  December  31,  2011  y  2012,  Bachoco  USA  (foreign  subsidiary)  holds  a  minority  investment  in 
Southern Hens, Inc. The Company does not exercise significant influence over the entity and therefore 
the investment is recorded at original cost which is similar to fair value at the acquisition date (see note 
17).  

Bachoco  USA,  (foreign  subsidiary)  owns  life  insurance  policies  of  some  of  the  previous  shareholders. 
The Company records these policies to net cash surrender (see note 17). 

l) 

 Employee benefits 

Benefit plan in Mexican operation 

Bachoco has a retirement plan in which non-union workers in México participate. Pension benefits are 
determined  based  on  the  salary  of  workers  in  their  final  three  years  of  service,  the  number  of  years 
worked in the Company and their age at retirement. This plan includes: 

i Defined contribution plan 

A  defined  contribution  plan  is  a  post-employment  benefit  plan  under  which  an  entity  pays  fixed 
contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. 
Obligations  for  contributions  to  defined  contribution  plans  are  recognized  as  an  employee  benefit 
expense  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  periods  during  which  related  services  are  rendered  by  employees. 
Prepaid  contributions  are  recognised  as  an  asset  to  the  extent  that  a  cash  refund  or  a  reduction  in 
future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 
months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their 
present value. 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ii Defined benefit plan 

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. It is 
funded only  by contributions made by the Company  and is intended to satisfy the Company’s labor 
obligations to employees. 

The Company´s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan 
by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in 
the  current  and  prior  periods.  That  benefit  is  discounted  to  determine  its  present  value.  Any 
unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is 
the yield at the reporting date on investment grade bonds that have maturity dates approximating the 
terms of the Company´s and that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are expected 
to be paid. 

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary  using the projected  unit credit  method. 
When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of 
any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form 
of  any  future  refunds  from  the  plan  or  reductions  in  future  contributions  to  the  plan.  In  order  to 
calculate  the  present  value  of  economic  benefits,  consideration  is  given  to  any  minimum  funding 
requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company 
if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.  

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit related to past service 
by employees is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the 
benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognized 
immediately in profit or loss. 

The Company recognizes the surplus that is outside the 10% margin of the actuarial gains and losses 
arising from defined benefit plans in the previous reporting date divided by the expected average life 
of the employees participating in the plan.  

iii Short-term benefits 

Short-term  employee  benefits  are  valued  on  a  non-discounted  basis  and  are  recognized  in  profit  or 
loss as respective services are rendered. 

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be payable under the short-term cash bonus plans 
or profit sharing, if the Company has a legal or constructive obligation to pay such amounts as a result 
of prior services rendered by the employee, and the obligation may be reliably estimated. 

iv Termination benefits from constructive obligation 

The Company recognized as a defined benefit plan, a constructive obligation from practices typically 
done.  This  constructive  obligation  is  associated  with  the  period  of  time  that  an  employee  rendered 
services  to  the  Company.  Payment  of  this  benefit  is  made  in  one  installment  at  the  time  that  the 
employee voluntarily stops working for the Company. 

34 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Benefit plan in the foreign operation 

Bachoco USA (foreign subsidiary) maintains a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan covering all 
employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company contributes to the plan at the rate 
of  50%  of  employee’s  contributions  up  to  a  maximum  of  2%  of  the  individual  employee’s 
compensation. 

m) 

Provisions 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive 
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will 
be required to settle the obligation. 

When the effect of time value of money is significant, the amount of the provision is the present value 
of  the  expected  disbursements  necessary  to  settle  the  obligation.  The  discount  rate  applied  is 
determined  before  taxes,  and  reflects  the  market  conditions  at  the  statement  of  financial  position 
date, and takes into account the specific risk of the relevant liability, if any.  In these cases, the increase 
in the provision is recognized as a finance cost. 

n) 

Revenue 

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the 
consideration  received  or  receivable,  net  of  returns,  trade  discounts  and  volume  rebates.  Revenue  is 
recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that 
the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the 
consideration relating to the transaction is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods 
can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing  management involvement with  the goods, and the 
amount of revenue can be  measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the 
amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue. 

The  Company’s  products  are  sold  to  a  large  number  of  customers,  with  no  significant  concentration 
with any specific customer. 

o) 

Finance income and costs 

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, fair value changes on financial assets at 
fair value through profit or loss and foreign currency gains. Interest income is recognized at amortized 
cost  in  profit  or  loss,  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Dividend  income  is  recognized  in  profit  or 
loss on the date that the Company´s right to receive payment is established. 

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency losses, fair value changes on 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to 
the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using 
the effective interest method. 

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. 

35 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
p) 

Income taxes 

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognized in profit or 
loss  except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  a  business  combination,  or  items  recognized  directly  in 
equity or in other comprehensive income. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the fiscal year, 
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted in each jurisdiction at the of the statement of financial 
position. Any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes 
any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends. 

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred 
tax is not recognized for: 

• 

the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination 
and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; 

•  differences  related  to  investments  in  subsidiaries  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  the 
Company  is  able  to  control  the  timing  of  the  reversal,  and  the  reversion  is  not  expected  to 
take place in the foreseeable future. 

• 

taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred  tax  is  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  be  applied  to  temporary  differences 
when  they  reverse,  based  on  the  legislations  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the  date  of  the 
statement of financial position. 

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of 
uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Company believes 
that  its  accruals  for  the  tax  liabilities  are  adequate  for  all  open  tax  years  based  on  its  assessment  of 
many  factors,  including  the  interpretation  of  tax  law  and  prior  experience.  This  assessment  relies  on 
estimates  and  assumptions  and  may  involve  a  series  of  judgments  about  future  events.  New 
information  may  become  available  that  causes  the  Company  to  change  its  judgment  regarding  the 
adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period 
that such a determination is made.  

A  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognized  for  unused  tax  losses,  tax  credits  and  deductible  temporary 
differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which 
they can be utilized. Deferred tax  assets  are reviewed  at each date  of statement  of financial  position 
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

q) 

Earnings per share 

The Company presents information on the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for their ordinary 
shares.  The  basic  EPS  is  computed  by  dividing  the  profit  or  loss  attributable  to  the  holders  of  the 
Company’s common shares by the weighted average number  of ordinary shares  outstanding during 
the period, adjusted for the own shares held.  The diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or 
loss attributable to the holders of the ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding, adjusted by the own shares held, for the effects of potential dilution of all ordinary 
shares,  including  the  convertible  instruments  and  options  on  share  granted  to  employees.  At 
December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

r) 

Segment information 

An  operating  segment  is  a  component  of  the  company  that  is  engaged  in  business  activities  from 
which  revenues  and  expenses  may  be  obtained  and  incurred,  respectively,  including  revenues  and 
expenses related to transactions with other components of the Company.  The transactions between 
segments are determined on an arm’s-length basis. 

The financial information by segments is prepared based on the management approach, as a segment 
represents  the  operating  components  of  a  company  that  are  subject  to  risks  and  benefits  and  are 
different  from  other  business  segments.    As  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of  OK  Industries,  company 
located  in  the  United  States  (see  note  6a),  beginning  in  2011,  geographical  operating  segments  are 
also taken into consideration. 

(4)  New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

The following new Standards, modifications to Standards and Interpretations that are not  in force as 
of December 31, 2012, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. 

• 

• 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments will come into force for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 
2015;  early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  new  Standard  will  be  issued  in  various  stages,  and  is 
intended  to  supersede  IAS 39  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement.  The  Company 
acknowledges  that  such  adoption  will  affect  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial 
instruments.  The magnitude of the effect of adoption of this IFRS has not been determined. The 
Company  acknowledges  that  the  new  standard  introduces  many  changes  to  the  accounting 
treatment  of  financial  instruments,  and  is  likely  to  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements. The effect of such changes will be analyzed in the course of the 
project as additional stages of the standard are issued. 

In  May  2011,  the  IASB  issued  the  IFRS  10  Consolidated  Financial  Standards,  IFRS  11  Joint 
Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of interest in other entities, and NIIF 13 Fair Value Measurement.  All 
of  these  standards  are  effective  beginning  on  January  1,  2013,  early  adoption  permitted.  The 
Company does not expect a significant impact on the application of these standards.

•  On  June  16,  2011,  the  IASB  issued  modifications  to  IAS  19  Employee  Benefits.  The  amendments 
improve  the  recognition  and  the  requirements  for  dissemination  of  defined  benefit  plans.    The 
new  requirements  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013;  early 
application is permitted. Among other changes, the amendments require a) the use of a single rate 
for  determining  the  expected  return  on  plan  assets  and  the  present  value  of  the  benefit  liability 
discount  (in  overall  "net  finance  costs"),  b)  the  recognition  of  net  finance  cost  over  net  pension 
liability (liabilities minus plan assets), rather than a finance cost over the liabilities and an expected 
return on assets separately; and c) the recognition of actuarial gains or losses for the period within 
comprehensive  income  or  loss.  The  option  of  postponing  the  gains  and  losses,  known  as  the 
"corridor method", is eliminated. Company does not anticipate that the impact will be material. 

• 

In December 2011, the IASB modified IFRS 32, to incorporate compensation disclosures regarding 
assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. The modified standard requires entities 
to disclose both amounts gross and offset, on eligible instruments and transactions to offset in the 
statement  of  financial  position,  as  well  as  instruments  and  transactions  subject  to  a  offsetting 
agreement.  The  scope  includes  derivative  instruments,  purchase  and  sale  agreements  and 
purchase, sale and leaseback agreements and securities lending agreements. The amendments to 
IFRS 32 are effective from January 1, 2014 and retrospective application is required. The Company 
is currently evaluating the impact of adopting modified IFRS 32, however, the Company does not 
expect that the  adoption of this modified IFRS will result a significant impact on its consolidated 
financial statements.

Financial risk management 

The Company is exposed to the following risks related to the use of financial instruments to which risk 
management is applied: 

•  credit risk 
• 
liquidity risk 
•  market risk 

This note presents information on the Company’s exposure to each of the aforementioned risks, and 
the  Company’s  objectives,  policies  and  procedures  for  risk  measurement  and  management.    Further 
quantitative disclosures are included in various sections of these consolidated financial statements. 

Risk management framework 

The risk philosophy adopted by the Company seeks to minimize the risk and, therefore, to enhance its 
business  stability,  by  opting  for  a  sound  relationship  between  the  levels  of  risk  assumed  and  its 
operating capabilities, for ensuring a better decision-making that will enable an optimal combination 
of products and assets leading to a risk-return ratio more in line with the stockholders’ risk profile. 

Risk will mean the level of uncertainty associated with the Company’s future losses. 

Risk  Management  will  mean  the  “Set  of  objectives,  policies,  procedures  and  actions  implemented  to 
identify,  measure,  monitor,  limit,  control,  report  and  disclose  the  various  types  of  risks  to  which  the 
entity is exposed”. 

38 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
General Objectives  

•  Promoting  the  development  and  application  of  a  Risk  Management  culture,  establishing 
guidelines  that  will  ensure  the  efficient  application  of  relevant  Risk  Management  policies  and 
procedures. 

•  Having  sound  Risk  Management  practices  in  place,  consistent  with  relevant  criteria  and 

international recommendations. 

• 

Implementing an  efficient Risk Management  that will allow performing  the entity’s activities  and 
ensuring levels of risk exposure consistent with the operating capability. 

Organizational structure  

In  order  to  create  a  clear  and  optimum  Risk  Management,  the  Company  established  the  Risk 
Committee,  which  is  the  specialized  body  in  terms  of  managing  risks.  At  the  Committee,  objectives, 
policies,  procedures,  methodologies  and  strategies  as  well  as  maximum  risk  exposure  limits  and 
contingency plans are defined, proposed, approved and implemented. 

Management by type of risk. 

a)  Credit risk 

Credit risk is defined as the potential loss of an accounts receivable portfolio due to lack of payment by 
a  debtor  or  for  the  nonperformance  of  a  counterparty  with  which  transactions  with  derivative  or 
primary instruments are conducted. 

The  Credit  Risk  Management  process  begins  with  the  execution  of  transactions  with  derivative  and 
primary instruments, which are plainly exposed to a market risk but also to a counterparty risk. 

Measurement and monitoring of counterparty risks  

Currently, in terms of derivative and primary instruments, the Company has decided to measure and 
monitor  its  counterparty  risk  by  calculating  and  identifying  the  Counterparty  Valuation  Adjustment 
(CVA).  

Measurement and monitoring of accounts receivable 

There is a policy whereby an allowance for doubtful accounts is established for balances of accounts 
which are likely not to be recovered. For defining the required reserve, the entity considers historical 
losses  in  evaluating  the  current  market  conditions  as  well  as  the  financial  condition  of  customers, 
accounts  receivable  in  dispute,  price  differences,  the  aging  of  the  portfolio  and  present  payment 
patterns.

Risk reporting structure 

This  part  of  the  report  considers  the  change  in  the  market  value  of  the  portfolio  of  derivative  and 
primary instruments after the credit risk factor (CVA) has been applied to valuations. 

The ratings of counterparties with which the entity has contracted derivatives are circumscribed. 

CVA (Counterparty Valuation Adjustment) 

In the case of investments in primary financial instruments in local currency, the valuation models for 
financial  instruments  used  by  price  vendors  are  validated  annually  by  the  National  Banking  and 
Securities  Commission  (CNBV)  and  incorporate  market  movements  and  the  credit  quality  of  the 
issuers; therefore, it is implicitly included in the determination of the fair value of the transaction’s CVA. 
For  this  reason,  the  position  in  primary  financial  instruments  includes  the  CVA  and  no  other  related 
study and/or adjustment will be performed. Price Vendor’s provided securities pricing, are released at 
mid prices.  

Financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies and not listed in Mexico are valued with the 
prices  included  in  the  broker  statements  of  accounts,  which  are  taken  from  Bloomberg,  the  world’s 
largest price vendor. Furthermore, the entity validates such market prices in Bloomberg.  Market prices 
included in Bloomberg incorporate market movements and the credit quality of issuers; therefore, it is 
implicitly included in the determination of the fair value of the transaction’s CVA. For this reason, the 
position  in  primary  financial  instruments  includes  the  CVA  and  no  other  related  study  and/or 
adjustment will be performed. Price Vendor’s provided securities pricing, are released at mid prices.  

In case of derivative financial instruments traded in “Over the Counter” markets, the CVA is calculated 
in  Bloomberg.  For  accounting  purposes,  the  CVA  is  part  of  the  fair  value  of  derivative  financial 
instruments.  

Trade and other accounts receivable 

The assessment of accounts receivable impairment is made on a collective basis because there are no 
accounts with significant balances individually and due to their short term. The Company’s products 
are  traded  among  a  large  number  of  customers  without  significant  concentration  with  any  of  them. 
Among  objective  evidence  of  an  impaired  accounts  receivable  portfolio  we  may  include  the 
Company’s past experience as to collections, increase in the number of overdue payments that exceed 
the average credit period as well as observable changes in the national and local economic conditions 
that correlate with default on payments. 

The  Risk  Management  Committee  has  implemented  a  credit  policy  whereby  each  new  customer  is 
analyzed individually as  to  creditworthiness prior  to extending it  the payment terms  and conditions. 
The  Company’s  review  includes  internal  and  external  assessments  and,  in  certain  instances,  bank 
references  and  looking  up  assets  in  the  Public  Registry.  Purchase  limits  are  set  for  each  customer, 
which represent the maximum outstanding amount. Customers who fail to meet the Company’s credit 
references may only engage in cash or advance payment transaction with the Company. 

40 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts includes impaired trade accounts receivable, which at December 
31,  2011  and  2012  amounted  to  $38,537  and  $46,681,  respectively.  Such  allowance  is  determined 
based on the historical experience of accounts receivable, guarantees obtained, etc. 

i. 

Guarantees on loans granted 

The Company receives guarantees on loans granted, which consist of personal and real property such 
as  plots  of  land,  buildings,  houses,  transportation  units,  letters  of  credit  and  cash  deposits.  At 
December 31, 2011 and 2012, the fair value of  guarantees, at  appraisal value  at  the time of  granting 
the loan amounted to $484,771 and $517,269, respectively. 

ii. 

Fair value 

The fair value and amortized cost of trade accounts receivable is the same since those are short term 
nature, with no significant financial component. 

Investments 

The  Company  limits  its  exposure  to  credit  risk  by  investing  only  in  liquid  securities  and  with 
counterparties  with  a  credit  rating  of  at  least  A1  and  A  granted  by  Standard  &  Poor’s  and  Moody’s, 
respectively.  Management  continuously  monitors  credit  ratings  and  since  the  Company  has  only 
invested in highly rated securities, management does not anticipate any counterparty default, except 
as disclosed in note 10. 

Eventually, the debt and equity investments with the credit rating lower than those mentioned in the 
previous paragraph, are authorized by the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors. 

Guarantees 

It is the Company’s policy to grant financial guarantees only to wholly-owned subsidiaries.  

b)  Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is defined as the potential loss due to the inability to renew liabilities or contract others in 
normal conditions, from the advance or compulsory sale of assets or unusual discounts in meeting its 
obligations, or, for the fact that a position may not be timely sold, acquired or covered by establishing 
an equivalent opposite position. 

The Liquidity Risk Management process considers asset and liability management (ALM).  

Its objective is: 

•  Anticipating funding difficulties due to extreme events. 

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Follow-up  

Liquidity  risks  associated  with  ALM  are  measured,  monitored  and  reported  and  authorization, 
application and operation limits are set as well as contingent action in case of liquidity requirements. 

Liquidity risk due to differences between current cash flows and cash flows projected at various dates 
are  measured  and  monitored,  considering  the  totality  of  the  entity’s  asset  and  liability  positions 
denominated in domestic and foreign currencies. Furthermore, the Company’s funding diversification 
and sources are evaluated. 

The  Company  quantifies  the  potential  loss  due  to  the  advanced  or  forced  sale  of  assets  at  unusual 
discounts to  timely face its  obligations  as well  as  for the fact that  a position may not be timely sold, 
acquired or covered by establishing an equivalent opposite position. 

This part of the report is deemed in the analysis of liquidity gaps, scenarios on insufficient liquidity and 
use of alternative sources of financing. 

c)  Market risk 

Market  risk  is  defined  as:  “The  potential  loss  of  a  portfolio  of  derivative  instruments  and  primary 
instruments  for  trading  (speculation)  purposes,  due  to  changes  in  risk  factors  that  impinge  on  the 
valuation  of  long  or  short  positions.  In  this  regard,  uncertainty  is  detected  if  future  losses  resulting 
from  changes  in  market  conditions  (interest  rates,  exchange  rates,  price  of  commodities,  etc.)  that 
have a direct impact on price changes both of assets and liabilities. 

The Company measures, monitors and reports all financial instruments subject to market risks, using to 
such end the sensitivity measurement models for measuring potential losses associated to changes in 
risk  variables,  in  accordance  with  the  various  interest  and  exchange  rate  scenarios  over  a  period  of 
time. 

Follow up 

Sensitivities are reported at least monthly. These values are compared to the limits and any excesses 
are immediately reported as stipulated in the Risk Manual. 

Stress testing 

Stress tests are performed on a quarterly or more regular basis, based on the following assumptions. 
To  this  end,  the  value  of  portfolios  is  calculated  considering  the  changes  in  risk  factors  observed  in 
historical financial stress dates, including, among others: 

•  Changes in the exchange rates, interest rates, commodities prices; scenarios:+5%,  -5%, +25% 
, -25%, +50%, -50% 

•  2008 (+25% in the MXN/USD exchange rate) 

42 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
i) Exchange Risk 

The Company is exposed to an exchange risk on sales, purchases and borrowings denominated in  a 
currency  other  than  its  functional  currency,  which  is  the  peso.  The  foreign  currency  in  which  such 
transaction is denominated is primarily the US dollar. 

The Company protects by derivative instruments for hedging a percentage of its estimated exposure 
to  variance  in  exchange  rate  in  regards  to  the  projected  sales  and  purchases  during  the  year  and 
months, as required. Maturities of all the aforementioned instruments as hedges for its exchange risks 
are  less  than  one  year  from  the  date  of  contracting.  At  December  31,  2012  the  Company  have  not 
financial derivates instruments about tax rate (see note 10d). 

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk (Peso/USD denominated instruments) within the assets 
and liabilities as: primary instruments (investments), financial liabilities and commodity derivatives that 
are denominated in a other currency than its functional currency. In this regard the Company does not 
perform sensitivity analysis in order to measure the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in the asset 
an liabilities described. 

ii) Interest rate risk 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in the assets and liabilities as: primary instruments (with 
floating  rates),  financial  liabilities  (loans  and  debt  issuance)  and  interest  rate  derivatives  (e.g  Interest 
Rate  Swaps  (IRS)).  The  Company  performs  a  sensitivity  analysis  to  measure  the  effect  of  changes  in 
interest  rates  in  derivative  instruments  as  of  December  31,  2012,  while  for  the  other  instruments 
described, no sensitivity analysis is performed. The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to 
different interest rates, neither establishes limits for fixed or floating rates.

d)  Quantitative measurements of sensitivity 

Main  quantitative  sensitivities  of  the  current  derivative  financial  instruments  at  December  31,  2012 
related  to  commodities  prices  and  rates,  as  well  as  the  impact  of  different  scenarios  based  on  the 
established limits, are as follows:

For FX ($12.87), Rate (TIIE 28 days 4.8475%) and commodities (corn  and soybean  meal), the  effect of 
the current position is a loss of $1,919, mainly originated by losses on commodity programs in Mex of 
$1,612. The exposure of current positions is below of the preventive and maximum limits approved by 
the and Risk Committee.  

In market stress scenarios where all hedging programs managed by the Company would be affected 
by  a  decline  of  50%  and  25%,  the  effect  of  total  exposure  would  be  a  loss  of  $91,949  and  $46,934, 
respectively.   

Such amounts represent a negative effect of 2.9% and 1.5% respectively, compared to EBITDA of the 
last 12 months. On the other hand, the total amount of cash would have a negative impact on EBITDA 
of 2.0% and 1.0%, respectively.

A  negative  consumption  means  that  the  overall  position  presents  valuation  gain,  while  positive 
consumption means valuation loss. 

At market levels of the ended year, the preventive consumption limit of all programs is 2% due to the 
fact that current position is negative. Moreover, the consumption of the maximum acceptable limit is 
1%, as a result of the mentioned above.  

At stress levels of -25% of current market prices, the preventive limits of consumption of total hedging 
programs is 59%. On the other hand, the maximum acceptable limit of consumption is 23%.

At current levels of 28-days TIIE of 4.8475%, the effect of the current secured debt  represents $151 of 
profit and accounts for 5.5% of the total debt of the Company. 

If the 28-day TIIE moves in ranges of -5%, +5%, +25% and +50%, current hedge gain exposure levels 
would be $32, $270, $746 and $1,342 in each one of the levels, respectively.  

In  market  stress  scenarios  with  fluctuations  of  -50%  and  -25%,  the  loss  exposure  levels  for  current 
hedge would be $1,040 and $444, respectively.

Business and assets acquisitions 

a)  

OK Industries acquisition 

On November 1, 2011, the Company acquired 100% percent of the voting stock of OK Industries, Inc. 
and  subsidiaries  (Acquired  Entity).  Income  of  the  Acquired  Entity  has  been  included  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  from  such  date.  The  Acquired  Entity  is  engaged  in  breeding, 
processing  and  marketing  of  poultry  (chicken)  to  supplier  autoservices  networks,  fast  food  networks 
and  others  in  the  U.S  and  foreign  markets.  The  aggregate  purchase  price  that  was  paid  in  cash 
amounted $1,269,306 (93.4 million USD). 

On March 2, 2012 Bachoco USA, LLC. was incorporated as a subsidiary of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de 
C.V., Bachoco USA, LLC acquired 100% of the shares of OK Industries. 

The consolidated financial statements of Bachoco as of December 31, 2011 include the balance sheet 
of OK Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of such date, based on the best estimate of its net asset’s fair 
value  as  of  the  acquisition  date,  and  its  results  of  operations  for  the  two-month  period  ended 
December  31,  2011.  The  fair  values  of  these  assets  acquired  were  determined  using  the  cost  and 
market approaches. 

The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with 
another  of  equivalent  economic  utility,  was  utilized  primarily  for  plant  and  equipment.  The  cost  to 
replace  a  given  asset  reflects  the  estimated  reproduction  or  replacement  cost  for  the  asset,  less  an 
allowance  for  loss  in  value  due  to  depreciation.  The  market  approach,  which  indicates  value  for  a 
subject  asset  based  on  available  market  pricing  for  comparable  assets,  was  utilized  primarily  for  real 
estate. The market approach indicates value based on financial multiples available for similar entities 
and adjustments for the lack of control or lack of marketability that market participants would consider 
in determining fair value.    

Due  to  their  short-term  maturities,  the  Company  believes  the  carrying  amounts  of  cash  equivalents, 
accounts receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate 
their  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date.  At  the  acquisition  date,  inventories  are  stated  at  their  net 
realizable  value.  The  Company’s  investment  in  an  unconsolidated  entity  is  recorded  at  its  historical 
cost and the investment in insurance contracts is recorded at its aggregate net cash surrender value, 
both of which approximate fair value at the acquisition date.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed 

A  summary  follows  of  the  main  classes  of  consideration  transferred  and  the  recognized  amounts  of 
acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the acquisition date. The following summarizes the acquired 
condensed  balance  sheet  of  OK  Industries,  Inc.,  including  the  application  of  purchase  accounting 
adjustments  to  record  the  best  estimate  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  acquisition 
(November  1,  2011),  as  well  as  additional  adjustments  to  the  balance  of  certain  items.  Such 
adjustments  arose  from  additional  information  obtained  during  the  measurement  period  and  were 
recognized retroactively at the date of acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3:

This  gain  was  derived  due  that  the  former  strategies  resulted  in  high  cost  structure  and  limited 
opportunity to improve profitability; as a consequence the fair value of the enterprise was found lower 
than the respective fair values of its components. Therefore, after reviewing if all the acquired assets 
and assumed liabilities had been properly identified and recognizing any additional assets identified in 
this  review,  a  gain  was  recognized  as  bargain  purchase  price  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
comprehensive income. 

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2011, management estimates that consolidated revenues 
and consolidated profits for the period would have totaled $34,809,853 and $911,952, respectively. In 
determining  these  amounts,  management  has  assumed  that  adjustments  to  fair  value  determined 
temporarily,  originating  on  the  acquisition  date  would  have  been  the  same  had  the  acquisition 
occurred on January 1, 2011.

S.A.  de  C.V.  In  accordance  with  IFRS  3,  such  net  assets  qualify  as  business  combination.  With  the 
acquisition  of  the  net  assets,  the  Company  will  be  dedicated  to  the  production  of  high  value  added 
products from beef and pork. Below is a summary of the assets acquired at their fair value (determined 
within the measurement period and recorded at the acquisition date in accordance with IFRS 3) and

(8)  Operating segments 

Reporting  segments  have  a  line  of  product  approach.  Intersegment  transactions  have  been 
eliminated. The poultry segment consists of the chicken and egg operations and has been added due 
to  its  risks  and  benefits  similarities.  The  information  included  in  the  “Others”  column  corresponds  to 
pigs, balanced feed for animal consumption and other non-significant sub-products.   

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arms – length basis.  The accounting policies of operating 
segments are the same as those described in note 3. 

The next pages includes information on the results of each segment by line of business. Performance is 
measured  based  on  each  segment’s  income  before  taxes,  in  the  same  manner  as  included  in 
management reports that are reviewed by the Company’s General Director. Each segment profits are 
used in measuring performance since management believes such information is most appropriate for 
assessing  the  results  of  certain  segments,  as  compared  with  other  entities  that  operate  in  the  same 
businesses as the Company.

c)  Major Customers 

In  Mexico,  the  Company’s  products  are  traded  among  a  large  number  of  customers,  without 
significant  concentration  with  any  specific  customer.  Therefore,  in  2011  and  2012,  no  customer 
accounted for over 10% of the Company’s total revenue. 

The foreign subsidiary held sales transactions representing the 12% of total sales with the entity Ozark 
Mountain Poultry.

The Company considers that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 60 days are still 
collectible, based on historic payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk. 

Based  on  historical  trends  of  the  probability  of  default,  the  Company  considers  that  no  impairment 
allowance is necessary in respect of current trade receivables.

At least on a monthly basis the Company evaluates and reports to the Board of Directors the liquidity status 
of  the  Company.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  has  determined  that  has  sufficient  resources  to 
meet  its  short  and  long  term  obligations  and;  therefore,  it  does  not  expect  to  have  liquidity  gaps  in  the 
future and will not necessary  to sell assets to settle their debts at unusual or off market prices. 

c)  Market risk 

Price risk of generic commodities 

The Company seeks protection against declines in the agreed-upon price of corn and/or sorghum after 
the producer issues the respective invoice that may result in not ceasing an opportunity cost for lower 
prices in the commodity market against a higher agreed-upon price and once they become part of the 
inventory to hedge a risk if the price declines prior to their consumption.   

In other words, if the price on the physical delivery of the agreed-upon commodities is lower than the 
agreed-upon prices, the entity does not benefit from lower market prices and purchases are made at 
higher prices, resulting in a loss for the Company. 

Corn  and/or  sorghum  purchases  are  formalized  through  a  forward  sales  agreement,  which  stipulate 
the following: 

•  Date of execution; 
•  Number of tons sold; 
•  Harvest, State and the harvest’s agricultural cycle;  
•  Price per ton plus quality premium or penalty based on the following formula: 

Agricultural agreements that lead to firm commitments are related to two corn and/or sorghum cycles 
and to the contracting of purchases; both cycles and contracting dates are detailed below:   

61 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  Fall  /  Winter  Cycle  –  ASERCA,  at  its  discretion,  determines  the  registration  desk  period,  which 
normally runs from December to March, while the harvest period for the Fall / Winter cycle occurs 
in the months of May through July. However, the corn and/or sorghum harvest period may extend 
from one to several months, depending on the climatic conditions such as droughts and frosts.  

•  Spring / Summer Cycle – ASERCA, at its discretion, determines the registration desk period, which 
normally runs from July to August while the harvest time varies depending on the specific State.   

The risk being hedged is for exposure from changes in the fair value by fixing the price of corn and/or 
sorghum purchases that may cause potential losses by not taking advantage, as applicable, of lower 
corn and/or sorghum prices at the date of purchase of the physical product. 

The Company conducts effectiveness tests at the beginning and at least on a quarterly basis using a 
specific methodology for each test. Effectiveness tests are conducted for hedging relationships for put 
options  the  Company  acquires  from  ASERCA.    These  methodologies  are  described  below.  Each  only 
distinguishes changes in the price of corn below the strike price agreed in the put option. 

Prospective effectiveness tests 

For  this  test,  it  is  proven  that  the  hedging  relationship  being  set  operates  properly  prior  to  it  being 
established. Basically, the test consists of performing a linear regression on the put option profits that 
would  be  obtained  at  the  expiration  date  (explanatory  or  independent  variable)  against  the  losses 
sustained from the primary position, which are defined as losses arising from the fall of the corn spot 
price. 

The test is deemed highly effective and therefore, the implementation of the hedging relationship is 
feasible, where: 

• 

• 

• 

The R2 of the linear regression is equal to or greater than 0.8 

The correlation in the linear regression is 0.8 or greater 

The slope m lies within the [0.8, 1.25] interval. 

Failure  to  meet  any  these  conditions  indicates  that  the  test  is  not  effective  and  the  hedging 
relationship may not be established. 

The  retrospective  effectiveness  test  is  performed  at  least  quarterly  and  only  after  the  hedging 
relationship  has  been  established,  not  at  the  beginning.  The  test  is  performed  following  the 
methodology known as “Dollar Offset”, which changes in the value of the put option are compared to 
changes in the value of the accumulated primary position through an index. This index is computed as 
follows: 

The absolute value of the “Dollar Offset” (DO) index should always fall within the [0.8, 1.25] range. In 
this case, the test and, therefore, the hedging relationship, are deemed effective and so the latter may 
continue.  

In cases where the  absolute value is not within such range, the test is not deemed effective and the 
hedging relationship designated in that moment. 

62 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At December 31, 2012, there were no open positions of long put hedge options with ASERCA. 

Regarding  commodity  price  risk,  for  derivative  instruments  that  are  not  designated  in  a  hedging 
relationship,  the  Company  performs  sensitivity  analysis  on  the  corn  and  soybean  future  contracts, 
considering different scenarios (bullish  and bearish). These results  are  shown  in Note 5 b). In case  of 
structured commodity derivatives, that contains options (traded with Cargill), the Company does not 
perform a sensitivity analysis on the volatility factor.

d)  Currency risk 

Interest  on  borrowings  is  denominated  in  currencies  that  match  the  cash  flows  generated  by  the 
underlying  operations  of  the  Company,  primarily  pesos,  but  also  euro  and  dollars.  This  provides  an 
economic hedge without derivatives.

e)  Interest rate risk  

Fluctuations in interest rates mainly impact loans by changing either their fair value (fixed-rate debt) or 
their future cash flows (variable-interest debt). Management lacks a formal policy for determining how 
much of the Company’s exposure should be at fixed or variable rate. However, on getting new loans, 
management uses is judgment for deciding if a fixed or a variable rate would be more favorable for the 
Company, considering the original term of the loan, through its maturity. 

The Company only made sensibility´s analysis.

g)  Fair value hierarchy 

The  table  below  analyses  financial  instruments  carried  at  fair  value,  by  the  levels  in  the  fair  value 
hierarchy.  The  Company  adopted  the  early  exemption  of  IFRS  1,  which  exempts  the  entity  from 
providing comparative information. 

The different levels have been defined as follows: 

•  Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

•  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 

liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 

•  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable 

inputs).

On  August  28,  2012,  the  Company  was  authorized  to  make  an  issue  of  senior  bonds  for  a  total 
authorized  amount  of  the  program  of  $5,000,000  pesos  or  its  equivalent  in  UDIS,  on  a  revolving 
program period of five years from the date of authorization letter of the CNBV. The initial issue dated 
August  31,  2012  was  for  $1,500,000  pesos  with  ticker:  "BACHOCO  12"  for  a  period  of  1,820  days, 
equivalent to 65 periods of 28 days, approximately five years. For a total senior bonds of 15,000,000, 
and a face value of $100 pesos each. 

From the date of issue, and while the senior bonds have not been amortized, will accrue annual gross 
interest  on  their  face  value,  at  a  yearly  interest  rate,  which  is  calculated  by  adding  0.60  (zero  point 
sixty) percentage points to the TIIE to within 28 days and in case of non-publication TIIE 28-day TIIE be 
used to nearer term, released by the Bank of Mexico. The Common Representative will calculate two

schedule, computed from the date of issue or at the beginning of each interest period and governed 
precisely during this period of interest.

Amortization of senior bonds will be at the deadline for the term of issue. 

Senior  bonds-related  cost  are  capitalized  to  the  debt  and  amortized  through  earnings  by  using  the 
effective  interest  method  through  the  maturity  of  each  transaction.  Such  related  cost  includes 
commissions and professional fees.

Income Tax (IT), Asset Tax (AT), and Flat Rate Business Tax (IETU) 

Under the current tax legislation in Mexico, companies must pay the greater of their IT or IETU. If IETU 
is payable, the payment will be considered final, not subject to recovery in subsequent years.  

a) 

Income tax (IT)- 

The  Company  and  each  of  its  subsidiaries  file  separate  income  tax  returns  (including  its  foreign 
subsidiary, that files income tax returns in the U.S. based on its existing tax year end of April).  Bachoco, 
S.A. de C.V. (“BSACV”), the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, is subject to corporate income tax 
under the provisions of the simplified regime, which is applicable to companies engaged exclusively in 
agriculture,  cattle-raising,  fishing,  forestry  and  other  activities.  The  income  tax  law  establishes  that 
such  regime  is  only  for  companies  that  obtain  no  more  than  10%  of  their  total  revenues  from  the 
production of processed products; BSACV has complied with this criteria. 

The  simplified  regime  establishes  that  the  taxable  base  for  income  tax  is  determined  on  revenues 
collected net of deductions paid (cash basis). The tax rate for this regime is 21%. 

The income tax rate of the general regime for fiscal years 2011 to 2013 is 30%, for 2014 the rate shall be 
29% and for 2015 and thereafter is 28%.  

The income tax rate of the foreign subsidiary is 38.79%. 

b) 

Flat rate business tax (IETU)- 

IETU is calculated applying the rate of 17.5% to profit determined based on cash flows less authorized 
tax credits. 

IETU  credits  are  derived  mainly  from  the  unamortized  negative  IETU  base,  and  taxable  salaries  for  IT 
purposes  and  social  security  contributions,  as  well  as  credits  derived  from  the  deduction  of  certain 
investments, such as inventories and fixed assets. 

The  IETU  is  required  to  be  paid  only  when  it  is  greater  than  the  IT.  To  determine  the  IETU  payable, 
income tax paid in a given period shall be subtracted from the current IT of the same period.  

If negative IETU base is determined because deductions exceed income, there will be no current IETU. 
The amount of negative base multiplied by the IETU rate results in a IETU credit, which may be applied 
against IT for the same year or, if applicable, against IETU payable in the next ten years. According to 
the tax law, the IETU credit cannot be applied against IT for 2011 and 2012.

Deferred income tax 

Based  on  the  financial  projections  of  taxable  income,  the  Company  estimated  that  it  will  pay  IT; 
therefore, deferred tax effects have been determined and recorded reflecting the IT basis. 

The  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences  that  lead  to  significant  portions  of  deferred  tax  assets  and 
liabilities at January 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and 2012 are detailed below:

d) 

Dividends 

The following dividends were declared and paid by the Company at the reporting date: 

In  2011  y  2012,  the  Company  declared  and  paid  cash  dividends  at  nominal  values  of  $299,926  and 
$299,175 respectively, or $0.50 per share in nominal pesos.  

Dividends  paid  to  shareholders  of  the  Company,  are  subject  to  IT  only  insofar  as  such  dividends 
exceed  the  net  tax  profit  account  "CUFIN"  consisting  of  profits  in  which  the  IT  is  already  paid.  The 
income tax paid on the dividend corresponds to a tax payable by corporations and not by individuals. 

The Company derives most of its revenue and net income of Bachoco, S.A. de C.V. ("BSACV"). For the 
years 2011 and 2012, net income of BSACV, accounted for 86% and 79% respectively, of consolidated 
net income. Dividends which BSACV pay income tax will be credited to the account of the Company 
CUFIN, and accordingly, any future liabilities arising from income taxes arise when such amounts are 
distributed as dividends by the Company to the shareholders. 

From 1999 to 2001, according to IT law, had the option of deferring a portion of the annual corporate 
income tax until the rate represented 30%. The deferral of such income tax and the related profits are 
controlled through the "net tax profit account reinvested" (CUFINRE). 

Given that some subsidiaries opted to defer a portion of the income tax, the distributed profits will be 
treated as paid first from the CUFINRE and any excess will be paid from the CUFIN balance in order to 
pay the 5% of the deferred income tax. The option of deferring a portion of the annual income tax was 
eliminated as of January 1, 2002. 

91 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The updated amount on tax bases, of the contributions made by shareholders (CUCA), totaling 
$2,324,358, may be refunded to them tax-free, to the extent that such amount is the same or higher 
than equity. 

(26)  Earnings per share  

The calculation of basic earnings per share at 31 December 2012 was based on profit attributable to 
ordinary shareholders of $2,184,567 ($1,177,346 in 2011), and a weighted average number of ordinary 
shares  outstanding  of  598,959,882  (599,822,448  in  2011).  The  Company  has  no  potential  ordinary 
shares with dilutive effects.

(28)  Contingencies 

a) 

Insurance 

The Company has not contracted  full coverage insurance for its facilities, interruption of activities or 
corporate civil liability in respect  of  property and  environmental damage  resulting from  accidents in 
the Company’s property or that relate to company operations. Until appropriate insurance coverage is 
provided,  there  is  a  risk  that  the  loss  or  destruction  of  certain  assets  may  have  a  significant  adverse 
effect on the Company’s operations and financial situation. 

Litigation 

The  Company  is  involved  in  a  number  of  lawsuits  and  claims  arising  in  the  normal  course  of 
business. In the opinion of management, it is expected that the final outcome of these matters 
will not have significant adverse effects  on the  Company’s consolidated financial  position  and 
results of income.  

Bachoco USA, LLC (foreign  subsidiary) is  involved in claims with  the U.S. Department of Labor 
and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and various other matters incidental to its 
business,  including  workers’  compensation  claims  and  environmental  issues.  At  December  31, 
2012, the subsidiary has accrued reserves for potential claims of $25,740 (2,000 USD) which are 
included within other current liabilities.

Tax contingencies 

In accordance with tax laws, the tax authorities are empowered to examine transactions carried 
out during the five years prior to the most recent income tax return filed. 

In  accordance  with  the  Income  Tax  Law,  companies  carrying  out  transactions  with  related 
parties  are subject to certain requirements  as  to  the determination of prices, which should be 
similar to those that would be used in arms-length transactions. 

Should  the  tax  authorities  examine  the  transactions  and  reject  the  related-party  prices,  they 
could  assess  additional  taxes  plus  the  related  inflation  adjustment  and  interest  in  addition  to 
penalties of up to 100% of the omitted taxes. 

d) 

Other contingencies 

There is a contingent liability arising from employee benefits mentioned in note 3(l).

(32)  Subsequent events 

On  February  14,  2013,  the  Company  announced  the  detection  of  a  possible  outbreak  of  H7N3  avian 
influenza  in  five  of  its  poultry  breeding  farms  located  in  the  state  of  Guanajuato.  Subsequently,  on 
February  18,  2013,  the  Company  reported  that  the  National  Service  of  Sanity  and  Food  Quality 
(SENASICA,  by  its  Spanish  acronym)  confirmed  the  presence  of  the  avian  influenza  in  some  farms  of 
the Company, all located in the same region of the state of Guanajuato.  

At  the  date  of  issuance  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  been  affected  in 
several of its farms in the state of Guanajuato, as well as in the boundaries of the state of Jalisco and 
Guanajuato.  The  Company  believes  that  the  outbreak  is  under  control,  but  not  yet  eradicated.  The 
Company is in the process of quantifying the financial impact arose from this contingency thereof will 
be recognized in income for the year 2013.  

(33)  Explanation of transition to IFRS 

As mentioned in note 2(a), these are the first Company´s consolidated financial statements prepared in 
accordance with IFRS. 

The accounting policies referred to in note 3 have been applied in the preparation of the consolidated 
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, in the comparative information presented 
in  these  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  and  in  the 
preparation  of  the  initial  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  in  accordance  with  IFRS  at 
January 1, 2011 (date of the Company’s transition). 

In  preparing  its  initial  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  in  accordance  with  IFRS,  the 
Company  has  adjusted  the  amounts  reported  previously  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
prepared in accordance with Mexican FRS. In the following tables and notes thereto, an explanation is 
provided  of  how  the  transition  from  Mexican  FRS  to  IFRS  has  affected  the  Company’s  consolidated 
financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows. 

The Company has not prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with Mexican FRS for 
any period subsequent to December 31, 2011. 

There are no material differences between the statements of cash flows presented under IFRS and the 
statements of cash flows presented under Mexican FRS; except that under IFRS the starting point was 
profit for the year, whereas under Mexican FRS was profit before income taxes, as well as for the effects 
derived from the adoption of IFRS further described below.

a) 

Deemed cost of property, plant and equipment 

According  to  Mexican  FRS,  the  Company  initially  recorded  the  property,  plant  and  equipment  at 
acquisition cost, and through December 31, 2007, adjusted for inflation by using factors derived from 
National Consumer Price Index (NCPI). 

At  transition  date  to  IFRS,  the  Company  initially  opted  to  apply  the  “Fair  Value”  option  through 
appraisals  performed  by  independent  appraisers.  This  option  remained  during  2012  interim  periods; 
however,  after  detailed  analysis,  management  decided  to  change  its  accounting  policy  to  recognize 
the  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  under  Mexican  FRS  as  “Deemed  Cost”  at  the 
date of transition to IFRS. Because of this, there are no reconciling effects in this caption. 

b) 

Effects of inflation 

IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”  requires  the recognition of the  effects of 
inflation on the financial information when the entity operates in a hyperinflationary economy, being 
one of the characteristics when the cumulative inflation rate over three years approaches, or exceeds, 
100%. 

The  last  three-year  period  where  Mexico  was  a  hyperinflationary  economy  was  from  1995  to  1997. 
Therefore,  the  Company  eliminated  the  effects  of  inflation,  recognized  under  Mexican  FRS,  in  equity 
accounts,  from  January  1,  1998  to  December  31,  2007  (last  period  in  which  inflation  effects  were 
recognized under Mexican FRS). 

The following table summarizes the impact of such change:

Employee benefits 

In making its transition to IFRS, the Company eliminated the termination benefits liability which does 
not comply with the guidelines established by the IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, recognizing in addition, 
the corresponding effect on deferred income taxes.

Acquisition of a foreign business  

During  2011,  derived  from  the  business  combinations  disclosed  in  note  6,  under  IFRS  the  Company 
recognized under IFRS an increase in the value of property, plant and equipment in order to recognize 
such assets at fair value, based on the guidelines provided by the IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. 

Under Mexican FRS, when there is a gain from bargain purchase price, the fair values of non-monetary 
assets are reduced to compensate the resulting gain from the business combinations.
