MESSAGE TO
SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders of Industrias Bachoco:

Year  2013  was,  in  general  terms,  positive  for  Bachoco;  we  achieved 
historical  figures  in  sales  and  EBITDA  while  keeping  a  solid  financial 
position  that  allowed  us  to  end  the  fiscal  year  with  more  than  $5,600 
million of negative net debt.

However,  we  faced  important  challenges  along  the  way,  in  particular 
the  one  related  to  bio-security.  Sanitary  and  bio-security  are  important 
issues for both Bachoco and the poultry industry, as these largely impact 
production efficiency and product quality.

Despite  the  challenges  we  faced  in  2013,  the  Company  was  able  to 
prove that it is a flexible company in its processes, which quickly adapts to 
current conditions and takes the necessary actions to keep its presence 
in the marketplace, ensuring that our customer have a constant supply of 
products with consistent quality. 

Some  of  the  actions  that  took  place  to  face  this  contingency  were: 
taking  advantage  of  the  geographical  dispersion  we  have  to  redirect 
our  production  and  distribution  processes;  coordinating  actions  with 
the  sanitary  authorities  and  keeping  our  customers,  employees  and 
shareholders informed.  All this led us to a prompt recovery of production 
levels.

Regarding our operations located in the U.S., we reached positive results 
in terms of EBITDA for the second consecutive year. We have not reached 
the results we know can achieve in this operation, but we have identified 
opportunity areas.

We quickly integrated our second acquisition in the U.S., an operation of 
breeding hens, which timely reinforced our supply of hatching eggs.

We continue the process of reorganization in our structure and aligning 
functions in our supply chain, in order to remain a flexible company, closer 
to our markets and customers.

An important factor was the downtrend in the cost of main raw materials, 
which we observed particularly towards the end of the year; we expect 
this situation to continue and allow us to capitalize on decreases in our 
production costs.

Our operating expenses remained practically unchanged with respect to 
the previous year and below 9% of our total sales.  This was mainly due 
to strict control of expenses; capitalization of improvements in processes, 
and investments made in information technology. We still have a long way 
to go in this direction, and we will be focusing on achieving it. 

In 2013, we had important changes in the management of the Company.  
After successful careers in Bachoco and excellent performance of their 

02

ANNUAL REPORT 2013

duties,  José  Luis  Lopez  Lepe  and  David  Gastelum  Cazares,  Directors 
of  Personnel  and  Sales,  respectively,  retired.  They  have  left  a  legacy  of 
knowledge and experience that will serve as a solid basis for the executives 
who take those positions. Ismael Sanchez enters the Company to fill the 
Director  of  Personnel  position,  and  Andres  Morales,  who  previously 
served  as  Director  of  Marketing,  now  also  takes  the  responsibility  for 
Sales management.

By the end of 2013, one of the two Family Trusts decided to sell a block of 
shares equivalent to 9.5% of the total shares of the Company, with which 
our float changed from 17.25% to 26.7% of the total shares outstanding. 
An increase in the free float of the Company was one of the reiterated 
requests  from  current  and  potential  investors  and  financial  analysts;  as 
a  result  of  this  decision,  we  observed  an  increase  in  the  trading  of  our 
shares.

As  a  result  of  the  solid  performance  of  Bachoco  and  the  trust  that  the 
participants of the market have in the Company, our shares had a positive 
trade in the markets in which it participates, with yields of 46.6% on the 
Mexican  Bolsa  and  44.2%  on  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  when 
compared with the closing price of 2012.

This  year  we  are  celebrating  thirty  years  since  the  beginning  of  our 
successful advertising campaign; during this time we have made a constant 
effort to achieve branding identification in a generic product like chicken 
and eggs in Mexico, in order to forge an identity and brand loyalty in our 
products.  We  can  say  that  this  has  been  a  successful  effort;  we  have  a 
brand with the highest level of recognition in the Mexican poultry industry, 
and the Company has earned several awards for this achievement. 

Year 2014 has started with a good dynamic in the poultry industry.  We 
are prepared to focus on the opportunities that the market offers and to 
face the challenges that arise; bio-security, the effects of the tax reform, 
and more aggressive competition are issues that we will monitor closely.

Our goal is to remain as leaders of the poultry industry in Mexico, and to 
continue strengthening our position globally, while continuing to deliver 
positive results to our investors who have placed their trust in Bachoco.

CEO’s LETTER

The  following  financial  information  for  2013  is  presented  in  millions  of 
pesos  unless  otherwise  indicated,  with  comparative  figures  for  2012.   
It  was  prepared  under  IFRS  accounting  principles.  This  information 
should be read in conjunction with our Audited Consolidated Financial 
Statements, attached to this Annual Report. 

It  is  estimated  that  in  2013,  the  Mexican  economy  grew  1.1%,  below 
expectation, with an inflation rate of 3.97%. The average rate peso-dollar 
strengthened  during  the  year,  ending  with  1%  depreciation.  Moreover 
there  was  some  uncertainty  regarding  the  fiscal  reforms  that  were 
approved by the end of the year.  

According to the National Poultry Union estimates, for 2013 the chicken 
volume  produced  in  Mexico  slightly  decreased,  partly  as  a  result  of  an 
outbreak of avian flu that affected this industry. This decrease affected the 
consumption of chicken, which had a reduction of about 1.5%.  Meanwhile, 
egg production showed a growth of about 6.1% and a 5.3% increase in its 
consumption.

The reduction in poultry production was 
present mainly during the first half of the 
year;  the  lower  production,  combined 
with a strong demand, resulted in a good 
level  of  prices.  This  situation  changed  in 
the second half when the poultry industry 
went back to standard levels of production 
leading  to  oversupply  conditions  in  the 
market.

The Company keeps a 
solid financial structure, 
with negative net debt 
and a strong cash 
position.

The cost of our main raw materials had a 
reduction  mainly  towards  the  end  of  the 
year, after posting historical increases in prices during the two previous 
years.

For  Bachoco,  year  2013  was  positive;  we  reached  historical  sales  and 
EBITDA results, with good control of operating expenses.

In  July  2013,  we  acquired  a  U.S.  breeding  asset.  This  operation  has  a 
capacity  of  around  350  thousand  laying  hens  that  produce  hatching 
eggs.  Bachoco quickly integrated this new operation with the rest of its 
facilities and currently is in the process of refining synergies between this 
operation and the rest of the Company.

In 2013 we continued working hard on our quality systems, an essential 
factor in providing adequate products to meet the needs of our customers. 
We also continued to improve our information technology systems, which 
are  an  important  support  in  maintaining  adequate  control  of  operating 
expenses and giving flexibility in our operations.

We have committed employees who have vast experience in the poultry 
industry. It is thanks to their high performance we have achieved important 
goals.

 2013 & 2012 RESULTS

Net  sales  in  2013  totaled  $39,711  million,  an  increase  of  0.9%  from 
$39,367 million of net sales recorded in 2012. This increase was primarily 
due  to  higher  sales  prices  in  our  main  business  lines,  offset  by  lower 
volume in chicken products during the second and third quarters of 2013.

Sales of chicken products decreased 0.3% during 2013, as a result of an 
increase of 3.5% in prices, offset by a 4% decrease in volume.

Egg  sales  increased  14.7%  in  2013.  This  increase  was  attributable  to 
increases in egg prices, partially offset by a 2% decline in sales volume.

Sales  of  balanced  feed  decreased  8.6%  in 
2013,  as  a  result  of a 1.6%  increase in prices, 
partially  offset  by  a  10.1%  decline  in  volume 
sold.  This  was  a  consequence  of  oversupply 
conditions in the balanced feed market.

In the “other lines” item for 2013, sales of beef 
value-added  products  and  swine  increased 
when compared to 2012.

In 2013 the cost of sales totaled $33,117 million, 
a 0.4% decrease when compared to $33,318 
million  cost  of  sales  in  2012.  This  decrease  is 
primarily  attributable  to  a  4.9%  decrease  in 
sales volume of our main lines of business, partially offset by an increase in 
the production cost of 4.7%.

Bachoco’s  gross  income  for  2013  totaled  $6,534  million  and  $6,049 
million  in  2012;  this  represented  a  gross  margin  of  16.5%  and  15.4%, 
respectively. The decrease in gross income is mainly due to lower sales 
volume and prices in the second half of 2013.

Total operating expenses were $3,291 million in 2013, 3.1% lower than 
expenses  in  2012  of  $3,397  million.  The  Company  has  kept  a  strict 
control over its expenses across all processes. In 2013 and 2012, total 
expenses represented 8.3% and 8.6% of the total sales of the Company.

In 2013, we achieved a net finance income of $118 million, a result that 
compared with a net finance income of $165 million registered in 2012. 
This was a result of interest earned in both years due our surplus in cash.

REVIEW AND

REPORT

The EBITDA result in 2013 and 2012 was $4,091 and $3,467 million, 
respectively;  this  result  let  the  Company  reach  an  EBITDA  margin 
of  10.3%  and  8.8%  in  those  periods.  The  amount  reached  in  2013 
represented a historical amount for the Company.

Total  income  taxes  in  2013  were  $1,350  million,  compared  to  income 
taxes  of  $602  million  in  2012;  the  increase  is  mainly  due  a  one-time 
charge of $668 million as a result of the Mexican Tax Reform approved 
in 2013.

As a result of all the above, the income for the year was $2,042 million 
or 5.1% of net margin. This represented a decrease with respect to net 
income of 2012 that reached $2,192 million and 5.6% of net margin.

Net  income  per  Share  in  2013  was  $3.40  pesos  or  $40.8  pesos  per 
ADR;  this  result  compares  to  a  net  income  of  $3.65  pesos  or  $43.8 
pesos per ADR in 2012.

The Company keeps a solid financial structure, with negative net debt and 
a strong cash position.

Total cash as of December 31, 2013 was $7,733 million, 50.3% higher 
when compared to $5,145 million reached in the same period of 2012.

For 2013 and 2012, total debt for the Company was $2,068 and $2,724 
million,  respectively.  Negative  net  debt  as  of  December  31,  2013  was 
$5,665 million, compared to a negative net debt of $2,421 million in 2012.

The  Company’s  capital  expenditures  in  2013  were  $575  million, 
mainly  allocated  to  productivity  projects  and  maintenance.  Bachoco 
will gradually restart its organic growth in Mexico in the following years; 
therefore an increase in CAPEX is expected. 

In 2013, the Company paid cash dividends of $1.584 pesos per Share, 
which represented an estimated dividend yield of 3.6% per Share.

MAIN EFFECTS OF THE TAX REFORM

As  a  result  of  the  Mexican  tax  reform  approved  by  the  end  of  2013, 
Bachoco, SA de CV, our main subsidiary, increased its income tax rate 
from 21% to 30%, starting in 2014.

REPORT

FROM THE BOARD 
OF DIRECTORS

Section IV of Article 28 of the Securities Market Law, I hereby inform you of the following:

This Board of Directors reviewed and approved the Chief Executive Officer’s report which supports the per-

sistent with the Audited Financial Statements attached to this Annual Report.

We determined that during this period the Company did not engage in unusual operations or other activities 
different from its normal operations. No exemptions were granted to any member of the Board, executive officers 
or any other member of the Company to take advantage of business opportunities for themselves or in favor of 
third parties.

Lastly, attached to this report, the Board presents in the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting the report of 
the Auditing and Corporate Practices Committee, the Chief Executive Officer’s report, the report on prompt 
compliance with tax obligations, and the report on the principal accounting and information policies and criteria

Dear members of the Board of Director and Shareholders, 
  It is my pleasure to inform you of the activities performed by this Committee during fiscal year 2013:

COMMITTEE

REPORT

• We reviewed the proposals of unusual or nonrecurring transactions presented during the year 2013, to be 
held by the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition or disposal of goods, and the 
granting of guarantees or assumption of liabilities by an amount equal or greater than 5% percent of the

BACHOCO: 30 YEARS
OF BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL BRAND

In  Mexico  during  the  80’s,  no  one  thought  that  eggs  or  chicken 
needed to have a brand.  It can be said that there was no consumer 
preference when purchasing these products. In the case of eggs, they 
were sold in bulk, had no advertising and no brand identification. 

Over  these  30  years  we  have  constantly  worked  on  building  the 
BACHOCO brand, which has competed with strongly-established 
local producers, successfully achieving a preference for our brand.

At  that  time,  the  growth  of  Bachoco  depended  mainly  on  its 
production capacity and the scope of its distribution.

Given  this  fact,  Bachoco  initiated  a  dialogue  with  the  consumers, 
presenting a different point of view and generating brand recognition. 
This was achieved by communicating the main characteristics of our 
products:  freshness, quality and nationalism (Mexican).

BACHOCO  was  the  first  “branded  commodity”  in  the  Mexican 
poultry industry, a great communication effort that began in 1984 in 
Mexico City and then later was extended to the whole country. 
A  successful  and  well-recognized  advertising  campaign,  based 
mainly on creative, fun and current issues billboards, acquainted the 
consumer with our brand and our products.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013

WHAT HAVE WE REACHED?

• Being present in the daily diet of Mexican consumers.
•  Placed  an  affective  and  emotive  relationship  with  our  brand 
BACHOCO .
•The  BACHOCO  brand  has  a  perception  of  quality  in  the 
market. 
•BACHOCO is perceived as an original, innovative, intelligent, 
honest, surprising, and dynamic brand.

During  these  years,  we  have  integrated  other  brands  into  our 
portfolio that, little by little, have gained the same recognition as our 
leading brand in their own markets. 

This is a continuous effort.  We continue to work 
to position our brands in new markets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Board of Directors and 
Stockholders of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V. 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  of  Industrias  Bachoco,  S.A.B.  de 
C.V. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 
31,  2013.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the consolidated financial statements  are free of material  misstatement. An  audit includes  examining, on a 
test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well  as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, such 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  of  December  31,  2013  and  the  results  of  their 
operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  in  conformity  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

We  have  also  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United  States),  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2013,  based  on  the 
criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  (1992)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated April 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion 
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Board of Directors and 

Section 1.01 Stockholders of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V. 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) 
issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission.  The  Company’s  management  is 
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial  reporting  and for its assessment of the effectiveness of 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  in  the  accompanying  Management’s  Annual  Report  on  Internal  Control 
Over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting based on our audit.  

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material  respects.  Our  audit  included  obtaining  an 
understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  testing  and 
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other 
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable  basis for 
our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s 
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s 
board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions 
of  the  assets  of  the  company;  (2)  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and 
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, 
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  

Because  of  the  inherent  limitations  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  including  the  possibility  of  collusion  or 
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected 
on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to 
future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the 
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

19 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company and our 
report dated April 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V. and 
subsidiaries  (the  “Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2012  and  January  1,  2012,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of 
profit and loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 
and 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the 
amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and 
significant estimates  made by management, as well  as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation. We  believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

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

As mentioned in note 4 to the 2013 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, (thousands of Mexican pesos) which was booked in other income in 
2011.  

As  mentioned  in  note  5  to  the  2013  consolidated  financial  statements,  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 the 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, 2013, 2012 and 2011 

(Thousands of Mexican pesos, except amounts per share) 

(1) 

Reporting entity 

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

The  Company  is  engaged  in  breeding,  processing  and  marketing  poultry  (chicken  and  eggs),  swine  and  other  products 
(primarily balanced animal feed). Bachoco is a holding company that has control over a group of subsidiaries (see note 5). 

The shares of the Company are listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV for its Spanish acronym) under the symbol 
“Bachoco,” and in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), under the symbol “IBA”. 

Significant event 

During 2013, the Company informed the National Service of Sanity, Safety and Food Quality (SENASICA, by its Spanish 
acronym) the presence of a H7N3 avian flu outbreak in some of the Company’s farms located in the state of Guanajuato 
and in the limits of the Jalisco and Guanajuato states. The financial effects derived from the outbreak were a charge to cost 
of sales in 2013 for $350,821 related to the destruction of birds and eggs inventory. As of the date of the issuance of the 
consolidated  financial  statements,  the  National  Agriculture,  Husbandry,  Rural  Development,  Fishing  and  Food  Agency 
maintains a monitoring process of the outbreak in both states.

Basis of preparation 

a) 

Statement of compliance 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS), 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, 
established  by  the  Mexican  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. 

On April 28, 2014, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes were authorized for issuance by 
the Company’s Finance Director, Mr. Daniel Salazar Ferrer  and the Company’s Controller  Director, Mr. Marco Antonio 
Esparza  Serrano,  for  the  Audit  Committee,  Board  of  Directors  and  Stockholders’  approvals.  In  accordance  with  the 
Mexican  General  Corporate  Law  and  the  bylaws  of  the  Company,  the  stockholders  are  empowered  to  modify  the 
consolidated financial statements after their issuance. 

b) 

Reclassifications 

(a)  Criteria for classification of inventory and biological assets 

During  2013,  the  Company  decided  to  reclassify  live  poultry,  formerly  presented  within  inventory,  to  current  biological 
assets in order to provide a more accurate presentation based on the nature of the assets. Prior year financial information 
was  adjusted  for  such  reclassification,  for  which  reason  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  a 
consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2012.

Basis of measurement 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis (historical cost is generally 
based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  given  in  exchange  for  goods  and  services)  except  for the  following  material 
items in the consolidated statement of financial position, which are measured at: 

i.Fair value 

• 

• 

• 

Derivative financial instruments for trading and hedging, and the investments in primary debt and equity instruments at 
fair value through profit or loss 

Biological assets 

Defined benefit plan assets 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market  participants  at  the  measurement  date,  regardless  of  whether  that  price  is  directly  observable  or  estimated  using 
another  valuation  technique.  In  estimating  the  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  a  liability,  the  Company  takes  into  account  the 
characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the 
asset or liability at the measurement date.  

In  addition,  for  financial  reporting  purposes,  fair  value  measurements  are  categorized  into  Level  1,  2  or  3  based  on  the 
degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value 
measurements in its entirety, which are described as follows: 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable either directly or indirectly. 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. 

ii.Present value 

• 

Defined benefit obligation 

The present value discounts future cash flows to a present day amount using a discount rate. 

d) 

Functional and presentation currency 

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

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

When deemed relevant, certain amounts are included between parentheses as a translation into thousands of dollars, into 
thousands of Mexican pesos, or both, as applicable. These translations are performed for the convenience of the reader at 
the closing exchange rate, which is $13.09, as of December 31, 2013.

e) 

Use of estimates and judgments 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires 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. 

Estimates  and  significant  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Changes  arising  from  these  reviews  are 
recognized in the period in which they are reviewed and in any future periods affected. 

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty  

Below are critical estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting policies with significant effects on the amounts 
recognized in the consolidated financial statements, as well as information on assumptions and uncertainty of estimates that 
have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in future years. 

i.Fair value of biological assets 

The  Company  estimates  the  fair  value  of  biological  assets  as  the  price  that  would  be  received  or  paid  in  an  orderly 
transaction  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date.  As  part  of  the  estimate,  the  Company  considers  the 
maturity  periods  of  such  assets,  the  necessary  time  span  for  the  biological  assets  to  reach  a  productive  stage,  as  well  as 
future economic benefits obtained. 

The  balance  of  current  biological  assets  is  integrated  by  hatching  eggs,  growing  pigs  and  growing  poultry,  while  the 
balance of non-current biological assets is integrated by poultry in its different production stages, and breeder pigs.  

Non-current biological assets are valued at its production cost less accumulated depreciation or accumulated impairment 
losses,  because  the  Company  considers  there  is  no  observable  or  reliable  market  for  such  assets.  Also,  the  Company 
considers there is no reliable method for measuring the fair value of non-current biological assets. Current biological assets 
are valued at fair value when there is an observable market, less sale expenses. 

ii.Business combinations or acquisition of assets 

Management uses its professional judgment to determine whether the acquisition of a group of assets constitutes a business 
combination.  This  determination  may  have  a  significant  impact  in  how  the  acquired  assets  and  assumed  liabilities  are 
accounted for, both at the initial recognition and subsequently. 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The following are the key assumptions which are source of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reference reporting 
period which may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to and do not have significant effects on the 
recorded amounts in the consolidated financial statements. 

iii. Assessments to determine the recoverability of deferred tax assets 

As part of the tax analysis carried out by the Company, on an annual basis the Company prepares projections of taxable 
income  for  purposes  of  determining  if  taxable  income  will  be  sufficient  to  recover  the  benefit  of  deferred  tax  assets 
recognized from deductible temporary differences, including tax losses and other tax credits. 

iv. Useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment 

Useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment are used to determine depreciation expense of such assets 
and are defined according to the analysis by internal and external specialists. Useful lives and residual values are reviewed 
periodically at least once a year, based on the current conditions of the assets and the estimate of the period during which 

29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
they will continue to generate economic benefits to the Company. If there are changes in the estimate, measurement of the 
net carrying amount of assets and the corresponding depreciation expense are prospectively affected. 

v. Measurements and disclosures at fair value 

Fair value is a measurement based on the price a market participant would be willing to receive to sell an asset or pay to 
transfer  a  liability,  and  is  not  a  measure  specific  to  the  Company.  For  some  assets  and  liabilities,  observable  market 
transactions  or  market  information  may  be  available.  For  other  assets  and  liabilities,  observable  market  transactions  and 
market information may not be available. However, the purpose of a measurement at fair value in both cases is to estimate 
the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liabilities would be carried out among the market 
participants at the date of measurement under current market conditions. 

When  the  price  of  an  identical  asset  or  liability  is  not  observable,  the  Company  determines  the  fair  value  using  another 
valuation  technique  which  maximizes  the  use  of  relevant  observable  information  and  minimizes  the  use  of  unobservable 
information.  As  the  fair  value  is  a  measurement  based  on  the  market,  it  is  measured  using  the  assumptions  that  market 
participants would use when they fix a price to an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. 

vi. Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill 

The carrying amount of long-lived assets is reviewed for impairment when situations or changes in circumstances indicate 
that it is not recoverable, except for goodwill which is reviewed on an annual basis. If there are indicators of impairment, a 
review is carried out to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable value and whether it is impaired. 
The recoverable value is the highest of the asset’s fair value, less selling costs, and its value in use which is the present value 
of the future estimated cash flows generated by the asset. The value in use calculation requires the Company’s management 
to  estimate  the  future  cash  flows  expected  to  arise  from  the  asset  and/or  from  the  cash-generating  unit  and  a  suitable 
discount rate in order to calculate present value. 

vii.Contingencies 

Due to their nature, contingencies can solely be resolved when they occur or one or more future events or one or more 
uncertain events that are not entirely under the control of the Company. The assessment of such contingencies significantly 
requires the exercise of judgments and estimates on the possible outcome of those future events. The Company assesses 
the probability of loss of lawsuits and contingencies according to the estimates made by its legal advisors. These estimates 
are reconsidered periodically. 

viii.Other non-significant estimates

(b)  i. New and amended IFRS that affect reported balances and/or disclosures in financial statements 

In the current year, the Company adopted a series of new and amended IFRS issued by the IASB which are binding and go 
into effect from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. 

Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures - Offset of financial assets and liabilities 

The Company applied the amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures- Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities for the first time in 
the  current  year.  Amendments  to  IFRS  7  require  companies  to  disclose  information  about  offsetting  rights  and  related 
agreements  for  recognized  financial  instruments  that  are  subject  to  a  master  close-out  netting  agreement  or  similar 
agreement. 

30 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Amendments to IFRS 7 apply retroactively. As the Company does not have any close-out netting agreement, the adoption 
of  the  amendments  had  no  significant  effect  in  disclosures  or  in  balances  recognized  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

Modified standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures 

In  May  2011,  a  package  of  five  standards  on  consolidation,  joint  arrangements,  associates  and  disclosures  standards  that 
comprise  IFRS  10 Consolidated financial statements,  IFRS  11 Joint arrangements,  IFRS  12 Disclosure of interests in other 
entities, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate financial statements and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in associates 
and joint ventures, were issued. Subsequent to the issuance of these standards, amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 
were issued to clarify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of the standards. 

In the current year, the Company has applied these standards for the first time, together with the amendments to IFRS 10, 
IFRS  11,  and  IFRS  12  regarding  the  transitional  guidance.  Both  IAS  27  and  IAS  28  do  not  apply  to  the  Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements,  since  these  financial  statements  are  not  separate  financial  statements,  nor  does  it  have 
investments on which it has significant influence or joint control that result in the application of the equity method. As of the 
issuance  date  of  the  consolidated  financial  statement,  separate  financial  statements  were  issued  in  order  to  comply  with 
statutory requirements for the Company as legal entity and IAS 27 was applied for its preparation. 

The impact of these standards is shown below: 

Impact of the application of IFRS 10 

IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and separate financial statements that deal with consolidated financial 
statements  and  SIC-12 Consolidation – special purpose entities.  IFRS  10  changes  the  definition  of  control  such  that  an 
investor  has  control  over  an  investee  when  a)  it  has  power  over  the  investee,  b)  it  is  exposed,  or  has  rights,  to  variable 
returns from its involvement with the investee and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these 
criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern 
the  financial  and  operating  policies  of  an  entity  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  its  activities.  Additional  guidance  has  been 
included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee. Some guidance included in IFRS 10 that deals 
with whether or not an investor that owns less than 50% of the voting rights in an investee has control over the investee is 
relevant to the Company. 

Specifically, the Company, through its subsidiary Bachoco, S.A. de C.V., has a 51% equity interest in four entities engaged in 
breeding and marketing poultry. As the Company has substantive rights over such entities, which grant it the power over 
the relevant activities that affect its variable returns arising from its interests, it has concluded that it has control over such 
entities. 

In addition, the Company has an equity interest of  64.00% in PEC LAB, S.A.  de  C.V., which  also grants the  Company 
substantive rights in the entity, providing it the power over the relevant activities that affect its variable returns arising from its 
interests, for which reason it has concluded that is has control over the entity. 

Due  to  the  application  of  IFRS  10,  there  were  no  changes  to  the  consolidation  of  entities  on  which  control  thereon  was 
determined in prior periods. 

Impact of the application of IFRS 11 

IFRS  11  replaces  IAS  31 Interests in joint ventures,  and  the  guidance  contained  in  a  related  interpretation,  SIC-13 Jointly 
controlled entities – non-monetary contributions by venturers, has been incorporated in IAS 28 (as revised in 2011). 

IFRS  11  deals  with  how  a  joint  arrangement  of  which  two  or  more  parties  have  joint  control  should  be  classified  and 
accounted for. Under IFRS 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements – joint operations and joint ventures. 

31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The classification of joint arrangements under IFRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint 
arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties 
to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the 
parties  that  have  joint  control  of  the  arrangement  (i.e.  joint  operators)  have  rights  to  the  assets,  and  obligations  for  the 
liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the 
arrangement (i.e. joint ventures) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.  

The  initial  and  subsequent  accounting  of  joint  ventures  and  joint  operations  is  different.  Investments  in  joint  ventures  are 
accounted  for  using  the  equity  method.  Investments  in  joint  operations  are  accounted  for  such  that  each  joint  operator 
recognizes and records its assets, its liabilities, its revenues, and its expenses, relating to its interest in the joint operation in 
accordance with the applicable standards. 

As mentioned in the analysis of impact for the adoption of IFRS 10, Company’s management examined and assessed the 
classification of the investments it has through its subsidiary Bachoco, S.A. de C.V., where it has equity interest of 51% to 
determine whether or not it had control or joint control. Management concluded that such investments should be classified 
as  subsidiaries  and  not  as  joint  arrangements.  The  Company  also  analyzed  certain  agreements  it  has  entered  into  with 
respect to broiler operations and determined that such arrangements constitute joint operations. The accounting for these 
joint operations under IFRS 11 is consistent with the treatment previously applied by the Company and therefore no impact 
of adoption has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. 

Impact of the application of IFRS 12 

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have equity interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint 
arrangements  and/or  unconsolidated  structured  entities.  In  general,  the  application  of  IFRS  12  has  resulted  in  more 
extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, in relation to significant judgments made by the Company to 
determine the nature of its equity interests in other entities, as well as the equity interest that the non-controlling entity has in 
the Company’s activities and in its cash flows. 

IFRS 13 Fair value measurement 

The Company has applied IFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for 
fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. 

IFRS  13  defines  fair  value  as  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly 
transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair 
value  under  IFRS  13  is  an  exit  price  regardless  of  whether  that  price  is  directly  observable  or  estimated  using  another 
valuation technique. 

IFRS  13  requires  prospective  application  from  January  1,  2013.  In  addition,  specific  transitional  provisions  were  given  to 
entities  such  that  they  need  not  to  apply  the  disclosure  requirements  set  out  in  the  Standard  in  comparative  information 
provided for prior periods before the initial application of the Standard. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the 
Company  has  not  made  any  new  disclosures  required  by  IFRS  13  for  the  2012  comparative  period.  Other  than  the 
additional  disclosures,  the  application  of  IFRS  13  has  not  had  any  material  impact  on  the  amounts  recognized  in  the 
consolidated financial statements. 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income  

The Company applied the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income for the first time in 
the current year. The amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories 
in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will be reclassified to profit and loss and (b) items that will not be 
reclassified to profit and loss. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same 
basis and the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or 
net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive 
income has been modified to reflect the changes. In addition to the aforementioned presentation changes, the application of 
the  amendments  to  IAS  1  does  not  result  in  any  impact  on  profit  and  loss,  other  comprehensive  income  or  total 
comprehensive income.

IAS 19 Employee benefits – (revised in 2011) 

In the current year, the Company applied IAS 19, Employee benefits (revised in 2011) and its consequential amendments for 
the first time. 

Amendments  to  IAS  19  change  the  accounting  treatment  of  defined  benefit  plans  and  benefits  for  termination  of  the 
employment  relationship.  The  most  important  change  refers  to  the  accounting  treatment  for  changes  in  defined  benefit 
obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and the fair 
value  of  the  plan  assets  when  they  occur  and,  therefore,  eliminate  the  “corridor  approach”  allowed  under  the  previous 
version of IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of prior service costs. The amendments require that all actuarial gains and 
losses  are  recognized  immediately  through  other  comprehensive  income,  for  the  net  asset  or  liability  recognized  in  the 
consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  to  reflect  the  total  value  of  the  deficit  or  surplus  of  the  plan.  Additionally,  the 
interest cost and the expected return on plan assets used in the previous version of IAS 19 are replaced with the amount of 
net interest, which is calculated by applying the same discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability. In summary, 
IAS  19  (revised  in  2011)  introduces  certain  changes  in  the  presentation  of  the  cost  of  defined  benefits,  including  more 
extensive disclosures. 

Beginning  January  1,  2013,  the  Company  applied  the  new  accounting,  presentation  and  disclosure  requirements 
established in IAS 19 (revised in 2011). However, given that the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on 
the  Company’s  consolidated  statements  of  financial  position,  the  corresponding  comparative  amounts  were  not 
retrospectively adjusted. The effect of the adoption of this standard as of January 1, 2013 was $25,315. 

(c)  ii. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

The Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRS that have been issued, but that they have not gone into 
effect yet at December 31, 2013. 

• 

IFRS  9  Financial instruments,  issued  in  November  2009  and  amended  in  October  2010,  introduced  new 
requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and derecognition.  

All recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and measurement 
are required to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held 
within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows 
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal are generally measured at amortized cost 
at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their 
fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. 

The most significant effect of IFRS 9 with respect to the reclassification and measurement of financial liabilities is related 
to the accounting for changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated as at fair value through profit and loss), 
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under IFRS 9, for financial liabilities designated at fair 
value through profit and loss, the amount of change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in credit 
risk  of  that  liability  is  recognized  in  items  of  other  comprehensive  income,  unless  the  recognition  of  the  effects  of 
changes  in  the  liability’s  credit  risk  in  items  of  other  comprehensive  income  would  create  or  enlarge  an  accounting 
mismatch in profit and loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credits risk are not subsequently 
reclassified to profit and loss. Previously, under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial 
liability designated as fair value through profit and loss is presented in profit and loss. 

IFRS  9 Financial instruments,  issued  in  November  2013,  introduces  a  new  chapter  for  the  accounting  for  hedges, 
establishing  a  new  hedge  accounting  model  that  is  designed  to  be  more  adhered  to  how  entities  assume  risk 
management activities when they cover both financial and non-financial risk exposures. Similarly, it allows an entity to 
apply  solely  the  requirements  introduced  in  IFRS  9  (2010)  for  the  presentation  of  profits  and  losses  on  financial 
liabilities  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss,  without  applying  the  other  requirements  of  IFRS  9,  which 
means that the portion of the change in fair value related to changes in the own entity’s credit risk can be presented in 
items of other comprehensive income rather than in profit and loss. 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As IFRS 9 (2013) eliminates the effective date of mandatory application of IFRS 9 (2013), IFRS 9 (2010) and IFRS 9 
(2009), as well as the required disclosures of IFRS 7 derived from the adoption of IFRS 9, leaving the effective date 
open to the end of the impairment, classification and measurement requirements. The Company has decided not to 
adopt  it  until  the  effective  date,  and  it  is  not  practical  to  quantify  the  effect  unless  the  aforementioned  stages  are 
concluded definitively, and the final versions are issued. 

•  Amendments  to  IFRS  10,  IFRS  12  and  IAS  27,  provide  investment  entities  with  an  exemption  to  consolidate  certain 
subsidiaries  and,  rather,  they  require  that  an  investment  entity  measures  the  investment  of  each  one  of  the  eligible 
subsidiaries  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  under  IFRS  9  or  IAS  39.  In  addition,  these  amendments  require 
disclosures about the reasons for which an entity is deemed an investment entity, entity’s unconsolidated subsidiaries’ 
details, and nature of the relationship and certain transactions between the investment entity and its subsidiaries. The 
amendments  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2014.  The  amendments  to  these 
standards  have  not  been  early  adopted,  and  their  adoption  is  not  expected  to  have  an  effect  on  the  Company’s 
financial information, as it is not classified as an investing entity. 

•  Amendments to IAS 19 (2011) Employee benefits, in regards to employee contributions on defined benefit plans, clarify 
the requirements relating to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to the service should be 
attributed  to  periods  of  service.  In  addition,  it  allows  a  practical  resource  if  the  amount  of  the  contributions  is 
independent from the number of years of service in which contributions can be, but are not required to be recognized 
as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered. These amendments are effective 
for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The amendments to this standard have not been early adopted by 
the Company and no material effects are expected due to their adoption since employees do not make contributions 
to the defined benefit plan. 

•  Amendments to IAS 32 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities, with respect to offsetting financial assets and 
financial  liabilities  and  the  related  disclosures  clarify  existing  application  issues  related  to  offsetting  requirements. 
Specifically,  the  amendments  clarify  the  meaning  of  “currently  has  a  legally  recognized  right  to  offsetting”  and 
“simultaneous realization and offsetting.” Amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 
January  1,  2014,  applied  retroactively.  This  standard  has  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  Company,  and  no  material 
effects on its consolidated financial statements are expected since the Company does not have offsetting agreements. 

•  Amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of assets, reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or 
cash  generating  units  are  required  to  be  disclosed,  clarify  the  disclosures  required,  and  introduce  an  explicit 
requirement  to  disclose  the  discount  rate  used  in  determining  impairment  (or  reversals)  where  recoverable  amount 
(based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique. Amendments to IAS 36 are 
effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2014.  The  amendments  to  this  standard  have  not  been 
early adopted by the Company and no material on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements 
since the Company has included the majority of the disclosures required by this amended IAS. 

•  Amendments  to  IAS  39  Financial instruments, recognition and measurement,  clarify  that  there  is  no  need  to 
discontinue hedge accounting if a hedging derivative is novated, provided certain criteria are met. A novation indicates 
an event where the original parties to a derivative agree that one or more settling counterparties replace their original 
counterparty  to  become  a  new  counterparty  to  any  of  the  parties.  In  order  to  apply  the  amendments  and  continue 
hedge accounting, novation to a central counterparty (CCP) must happen as a consequence of laws or regulations or 
the introduction thereof. Amendments to IAS 39 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. 
The amendments to this standard have not been early adopted by the Company and no material effects are expected 
on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  due  to  their  adoption,  since  the  Company  does  not  have  novation 
agreements. 

•  Annual  Improvements to 2010-2012  Cycle make  amendments to: IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment,  by amending the 
definitions  for  consolidation  (irrevocability)  of  concessions  and  market  conditions,  and  adding  definitions  for 
performance  condition  and  service  condition;  IFRS  3,  Business Combinations,  which  require  that  contingent 
considerations  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  are  measured  at  fair  value  at  the  reporting  date;  IFRS  8, Operating

Fair Value Measurement,  clarifies  that  the  issuance  of  IFRS  13  and  the  amendments  to  IFRS  9  and  IAS  39  did  not 
remove the ability to measure certain short-term receivables and payables on an undiscounted basis (amendment to 
conclusion bases solely); IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38, Intangible Assets, clarifying that the gross 
amount of property, plant and equipment is adjusted in a manner consistent with a revaluation of the carrying amount; 
and IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures, clarifying how payments to entities providing management services are to be 
disclosed. These improvements are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. The Company has 
yet to complete its evaluation of whether these improvements will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial 
statements. 

•  Annual Improvements to 2011-2013 Cycle makes amendments to the following standards: IFRS 1 First-time adoption 
of IFRS, clarifying which  versions  of IFRSs can be  used on  initial  adoption  (amendments to conclusion bases solely); 
IFRS 3, clarifying that the standard excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in 
the  financial  statements  of  the  joint  arrangement  itself;  IFRS  13,  clarifying  the  scope  of  the  portfolio  exception  of 
paragraph  52  of  the  standard,  which  allows  an  entity  to  measure  the  fair  value  of  a  group  of  financial  assets  and 
financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be received for selling a net long position or at which a net short 
position would be transferred, both for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants 
at the measurement date under current market conditions; IAS 40 Investment property, clarifying the interrelationship 
of IFRS 3 and IAS 40 when classifying a property as an investment property or as an owner-occupied property. These 
improvements are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. The Company has yet to completed 
its  evaluation  of  whether  these  improvements  will  have  a  significant  impact  on  its  consolidated  financial  statements, 
except  for  improvements  to  IFRS  1,  which  is  a  standard  applicable  solely  to  first-time  adopters,  and  therefore  no 
impacts are expected at a consolidated level for the Company.

Interpretation  of  the  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRIC)  21 Levies,  provides  guidance  on  when  to 
recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 
37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain. 
The interpretation identifies the binding event for the recognition of a liability as the activity that triggers the payment of 
the levy in accordance with the relevant legislation. In addition, it provides the following guidance in the recognition of a 
levy payment liability, where the liability is recognized progressively if the binding event occurs over a period of time, 
and  if  an  obligation  is  triggered  on  reaching  a  minimum  threshold,  the  liability  is  recognized  when  that  minimum 
threshold  is  reached.  This  interpretation  is  effective  for  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2014,  with  early 
adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted this IFRIC. The Company has yet to complete its evaluation 
of whether this interpretation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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.  

a) 

Basis of consolidation 

i.  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 5). 

ii.  Transactions eliminated in consolidation 

Profits and losses of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated statements of profit and 
loss and other comprehensive income from the acquisition date to the selling date, as the case may be. 

35 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Where  necessary,  subsidiaries’  financial  statements  are  adjusted  to  align  their  accounting  policies  with  the  Company 
accounting policies. 

Significant  consolidated  intercompany  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealized  gains  and  losses  arising  from 
transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.  

iii.Business acquisitions 

Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. For each business acquisition, 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 assets acquired and the 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. If after a revaluation, the net amount of identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities 
as of the acquisition date exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquired company and the fair value of the prior shareholding of the acquirer in the acquired company (if any), the excess is 
immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as a purchase 
gain at bargain price. 

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

Certain contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is 
classified as equity, then it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes 
in the fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in profit and loss. 

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 and loss on monetary items is the difference 
between  amortized  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  period,  adjusted  for  interest  and  effective 
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 valued 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 translation are recognized in profit and loss. 

ii.Translation of foreign operations 

Assets  and  liabilities,  including  goodwill  and  fair  value  adjustments  arising  on  acquisition,  of  foreign  operations  whose 
functional currency differs from the reporting currency, are translated into  pesos at exchange rates at the reporting date. 
Income and expenses 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 stockholders’ equity. 

36 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from an item received from or payable to a foreign transaction, whose settlement 
is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered part of a net investment in a foreign transaction and are 
recognized  under  the  “other  comprehensive  income”  account,  and  presented  within  stockholders’  equity  in  the  foreign 
currency translation reserve. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 the Company did not enter into such 
operations.  

c) 

Financial instruments 

i. Non-derivative financial assets 

Non-derivative financial assets of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, primary financial instruments (financial 
assets  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  and  financial  assets  held  to  maturity),  trade  receivable  and  other 
receivables. 

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

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

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

Financial assets valued at fair value through profit and loss 

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

Held-to-maturity financial assets 

Held-to-maturity  financial  assets  are  financial  assets  that  the  Company  has  the  intention  and  ability  to  hold  such  debt 
instruments 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 financial assets 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. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest 
income or cost over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash 
receipts  (including  all  fees  and  points  paid  or  received  that  form  an  integral  part  of  the  effective  interest  rate,  transaction 
costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter 
period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. 

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, which 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. 

37 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Receivables 

Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are 
recognized 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  

Debt and/or equity instruments are classified as financial liabilities or as equity according to the substance of the contractual 
agreement and the definitions of liability and equity. 

All financial liabilities are initially recognized 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 met, cancelled or expire. 

The  Company  has  the  following  non-derivative  financial  liabilities:  short-term  and  long-term  debt,  and  trade  and  other 
payables. 

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

iii. Derivative financial instruments 

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

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 in the “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 there are embedded derivatives 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 meets the definition of a derivative, 
and the combined instrument is not measured at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value of the separable 
embedded derivatives are immediately recognized in profit and loss. At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company 
has not recognized embedded derivatives. 

The Company has derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedged for its exposure to commodity price risks 
resulting  from  its  operating  activities.  Derivative  financial  instruments  that  do  not  meet  the  requirements  for  hedge 
accounting treatment are accounted for as trading derivative financial instruments. 

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

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for the hedging accounting treatment, expires or is sold, terminated or 
exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedging accounting treatment 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 repurchase of shares. When treasury shares are sold or are re-issued 
subsequently, the amount received as well as the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in equity. 

d) 

Property, plant and equipment 

i.Recognition and measurement 

Property,  plant  and  equipment,  are  recorded  at  acquisition  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation,  except  for  land,  and  any 
accumulated impairment losses. Land is measured at the acquisition costs les any accumulated impairment losses. 

Acquisition cost includes the purchase price, as well as any cost directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, including 
all costs to directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating 
in the manner intended by management. 

When  components  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. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized at the time of disposal or when no future economic benefits are 
expected  to  arise  from  the  continued  use  of  the  asset.  Gains  or  losses  on  the  sale  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment  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 (expenses)” in profit and loss for the year. 

ii.Subsequent costs 

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

iii.Depreciation 

During 2013, based on the analysis performed by the Company, a change to the estimate of residual values of certain fixed 
assets occurred, which resulted in a decrease to depreciation expense of $49,061, recorded in the consolidated statement 
of profit and loss and other comprehensive income for the year. 

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  the  cost  of  the  asset  less  its  residual  value,  using  the  straight  line  method,  based  on  the 
estimated useful life of the assets. Depreciation is recognized in profit and loss beginning from the time when the assets are 
available for use. Land is not depreciated.

Goodwill 

Residual Value 
9%

Goodwill  arises  as  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of  a  business  over  which  control  is  obtained  and  is  measured  at  cost  less 
cumulative impairment losses; it is subject to annual tests for impairment. 

f) 

Biological assets 

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs of sale, with any change therein recognized in profit and loss. Costs of 
sale include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets, excluding finance costs and income taxes. 

The  Company’s  biological  assets  consist  of  growing  poultry,  poultry  in  its  different  production  stages,  hatching  eggs, 
breeder pigs, and growing pigs. 

When  fair  value  cannot  be  reliably,  verifiably  and  objectively  determined,  assets  are  valued  at  production  cost  less 
accumulated depreciation, and any cumulative impairment loss (reduction). Depreciation related to biological assets forms 
part of the cost of inventories and current biological assets and is ultimately recognized within cost of sales in the statement 
of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. 

Depreciation of poultry and breeder pigs is estimated based on the expected future life of such assets and is calculated on a 
straight-line basis.

Leased assets 

Operating  leases  entered  into  by  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011  are  not  recognized  in  the 
Company’s statement of financial position. Operating lease rentals paid by the Company are recognized in profit and loss 
using the straight-line method over the lease term, even though payments may not be made on the same basis. 

Assets  held  under  finance  leases  are  depreciated  over  their  expected  useful  lives  on  the  same  basis  as  owned  assets. 
However,  when  there  is  no  reasonable  certainty  that  ownership  will  be  obtained  at  the  end  of  the  lease  term,  assets  are 
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives. As of December 31, 2013, 2013, and 2011 the Company 
has not entered into any finance lease agreements. 

h) 

Inventories 

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

Agricultural products derived from biological asses are processed chickens and commercial eggs. 

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

Cost of sales represents cost of inventories at the time of sale, increased, if applicable, by reductions in inventory to its net 
realizable value, if lower than cost, during the year. 

The  Company  records  the  necessary  reductions  in  the  value  of  its  inventories  for  impairment,  obsolescence,  slow 
movement and other factors that may indicate that the use or performance of the items that are part of the 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 and 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 a loss 
event after the initial recognition of the asset, and that such loss event had a negative 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,  evidence  that  a  debtor  may  go  bankrupt,  or  the  disappearance  of  an  active  market  for  a 
security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged reduction in its fair value below its cost 
is objective evidence of impairment. 

The  Company  considers  evidence  of  impairment  for  financial  assets  valued  at  amortized  cost  (accounts  receivables  and 
held-to-maturity investment securities) both individually and collectively. All individually significant receivables and held-to-
maturity investment securities are assessed for specific impairment. 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  probabilities of  default, timeliness 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 greater or less than those suggested by historical trends. 

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
An impairment loss related to a financial asset valued at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the carrying 
amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. Losses are 
recognized in profit and loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables or held-to-maturity investment 
securities. Interest on impaired assets continues being recognized. When a subsequent event that occurs after impairment 
has been recognized, it results in the reduction of the loss amount; this reduction is reversed through profit and 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  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  estimated.  Goodwill  and  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  tested 
annually for impairment on the same dates. 

The Company defines the cash generating units and also estimates the periodicity and cash flows that they should generate. 
Subsequent  changes  in  the  group  of  cash-generating  units,  or  changes  in  the  assumptions  that  support  the  cash  flow 
estimates or the discount rate could impact the carrying amounts of the respective asset. 

The main assumptions for developing estimates of recoverable amounts requires the Company’s administration to estimate 
the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate its 
present value. The Company estimates cash flow projections considering current market conditions, determination of future 
prices of goods and volumes of production and sales. In addition, for the purposes of the discount and perpetuity growth 
rate, the Company uses indicators of market and expectations of long-term growth in the markets in which the Company 
operates. 

The Company estimates a discount rate before taxes for the purposes of the goodwill impairment test that reflects the risk of 
the cash-generating units and that enables the calculation of present value of expected future cash flows, as well as to reflect 
risks  that  were  not  included  in  the  cash  flow  projection  assumptions  and  premises.  The  discount  rate  that  the  Company 
estimates is based on the waged average cost of capital. In addition, the discount rate estimated by the Company reflects 
the  return  that  market  participants  would  require  if  they  had  made  a  decision  about  an  equivalent  asset,  as  well  as  the 
expected generation of cash flow, time, and risk-and-return profiles. 

The Company  annually reviews the circumstances which  led to  an impairment loss  arising from cash-generating  units to 
determine  whether  such  circumstances  have  been  changed  and  that  may  result  in  the  reversal  of  previously  recognized 
impairment losses. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other long-lived 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 the impairment loss had not been recognized. 

Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are 
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of CGUs), and 
subsequently  to  reduce  the  carrying  amount  of  the  other  long-lived  assets  within  the  cash-generating  unit  (or  group  of 
CGUs) on a pro rata basis. 

j) 

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. (see note 4a). The Company sold this aircraft in 2012. 

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

Foreclosed  assets  are  recorded  at  the  lower  of  fair  value  less  cost  of  sale  or  net  carrying  amount  of  the  related  account 
receivable.

k) 

 Other assets 

Other long-term assets primarily  include prepayments for the  purchase of property, plant  and equipment, investments in 
insurance policies and guarantee deposits. 

The Company owns life insurance policies of some of the former stockholders of Bachoco USA (foreign subsidiary). The 
Company records these policies at net cash surrender value (see note 16). 

l) 

Employee benefits 

Benefit plan in Mexican operation 

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

i.Defined contribution plan 

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions to 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 and loss in the periods during which the related 
services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that the Company has 
the right to a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan due 
more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted at present value. 

ii.Defined benefit plan 

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

The  Company´s  net  obligations  in  respect  of  defined  benefit  plans  is  calculated  separately  for  each  plan,  estimating  the 
amount of the future benefit that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior fiscal years; 
that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and is reduced by the fair value of the plan assets. The discount rate 
is the yield at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds (or governmental bonds in the instance that a 
deep  market  does  not  exist  for  high  quality  corporate  bonds)  that  have  maturity  dates  approximating  the  terms  of  the 
Company´s  obligations  and  that  are  denominated  in  the  currency  in  which  the  benefits  are  expected  to  be  paid.  Net 
interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. 
Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows: 

• 

• 
• 

Service  cost  (including  current  service  cost,  past  service  cost,  as  well  as  gains  and  losses  on  curtailments  and 
settlements) 
Net interest expense or income 
Remeasurement 

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit cost in profit or loss. Gains and losses for reduction of 
service are accounted for as past service costs. 

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation 
results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in 
the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans. 

When  the  benefits  of  a  plan  are  modified  or  improved,  the  portion  of  the  improved  benefits  related  to  past  services  by 
employees is recognized in profit and loss on the earlier of the following dates: when there is a modification or reduction to 
the plan, or when the Company recognizes the related restructuring costs or termination benefits. 

43 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Remeasurement adjustments, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) 
and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of consolidated statement of 
financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. 
Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be 
reclassified to profit or loss. 

iii.Short-term benefits 

Short-term  employee  benefits  are  valued  on  a  non-discounted  basis  and  are  expensed  as  the  respective  services  are 
rendered. 

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under the short-term cash bonus plans or statutory employee 
profit sharing (PTU for its acronym in Spanish), 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  recognizes,  as  a  defined  benefit  plan,  a  constructive  obligation  from  past  practices.  The  liability  accrues 
based  on  the  services  rendered  by  the  employee.  Payment  of  this  benefit  is  made  in  one  installment  at  the  time  that  the 
employee voluntarily ceases working for the Company. 

Benefit plan in foreign subsidiary 

The  Company  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 disbursements 
expected to be necessary to settle the obligation. The discount rate applied is determined before taxes, and reflects market 
conditions at the reporting date and takes into account the specific risk of the relevant liability, if any. The unwinding of the 
present value discount is recognized as a financial cost. 

n) 

Interests in joint operations 

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the 
assets,  and  obligations  for  the  liabilities,  relating  to  the  arrangement.  Joint  control  is  the  contractually  agreed  sharing  of 
control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control. 

The Company as a joint operator recognizes, in relation to its interest in a joint operation: its assets, including its share of any 
assets held jointly; its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue from the sale of its share of the 
output  arising from the joint operation; its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation,  and its 
expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.  

The  Company  accounts  for  the  assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses  relating  to  its  interest  in  a  joint  operation  in 
accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 

44 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  Company  has  joint  operations  derived  from  the  broiler  agreements  for  the  development  of  its  biological  assets.  For 
such operations, the Company accounts for its biological assets, its obligations derived from technical support, as well as 
the expenses it incurs with respect to the joint operations. The live poultry produced by the joint operation is ultimately used 
internally by the Company and may be sold by the Company to third parties. As a result, the joint operation itself does not 
generate any revenues. 

o) 

Revenues 

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, the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue. 

p) 

Financial income and costs 

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

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

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that 
necessarily  take  a  substantial  period  of  time  to  get  ready  for  their  intended  use  or  sale,  are  added  to  the  costs  of  those 
assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the 
temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing 
costs eligible for capitalization. 

Exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis. 

q) 

Income taxes 

Tax  expenses  comprise  current  and  deferred  tax.  Current  taxes  and  deferred  taxes  are  recognized  in  profit  and  loss 
provided  they  do  not  relate  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, which can be applied 
to taxable income from previous years, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted in each jurisdiction at the reporting 
date, plus any adjustment to taxes payable with respect to previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability 
arising from the payment of dividends. 

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

• 

the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and did not affect neither 
accounting or 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 

reversal date, and the reversion is not expected to take place in the near future. 

• 

taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. 

45 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Deferred  tax  is  determined  by  applying  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  in  the  period  in  which  the  temporary 
differences will reverse, based on the regulations enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences derived from the manner in which the 
Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities. 

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 balance for the tax liabilities are 
adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of several factors, including the interpretation of the tax law and 
prior experience. 

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 reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is not probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. 

r) 

Earnings per share 

The Company presents information on basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) related to its ordinary shares. Basic EPS 
is computed by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the holders of the Company’s common shares by the weighted 
average  number  of  outstanding  ordinary  shares  during  the  period,  adjusted  for  treasury  shares  held.  Diluted  EPS  is 
determined by adjusting the profit and loss attributable to the holders of the ordinary shares and the outstanding weighted 
average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the potential dilutive effects of all ordinary shares, 
including convertible instruments and options on shares granted to employees. At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the 
Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares, for which reason basic and diluted EPS is the same. 

s) 

Segment information 

An operating segment is a component of the Company that: i) is engaged in business activities from which revenues and 
expenses  may  be  obtained  and  incurred,  including  revenues  and  expenses  related  to  transactions  with  any  of  the  other 
components  of  the  Company,  ii)  which  results  are  reviewed  periodically  by  the  chief  operating  decision  maker  for  the 
purpose  of  resource  allocation  and  assessment  of  segment  performance,  and  iii)  for  which  discrete  financial  information 
exists. 

The Company discloses reportable segments based on operating segments whose revenues exceed 10% of the combined 
revenues from all segments, whose absolute value of profit or loss exceeds 10% of the combined absolute value of profit or 
loss  from  all  segments,  whose  assets  exceed  10%  of  the  combined  assets  from  all  segments,  or  that  result  from  the 
aggregation  of  two  or  more  operating  segments  when  they  have  similar  economic  characteristics  and  meet  the 
aggregation criteria in IFRS. 

t) 

Costs and expenses by function 

Costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income were classified by 
their function. The nature of costs and expenses is presented in Note 22. 

u) 

Statement of cash flows 

The  Company  presents  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  by  using  the  indirect  method,  in  which  the  income  or  loss  is 
adjusted by the effects of items that do not require cash flows, including those related to investing or financing activities. 

The Company classifies all interest received from its investments and accounts receivable as investment activities, and all 
interest paid interest as financing activities.

Business and asset acquisitions 

a)  OK Industries acquisition 

On November 1, 2011, the Company acquired 100% percent of the voting stock of OK Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries. OK 
Industries, Inc. is engaged in breeding, processing and marketing of poultry (chicken) to supplier autoservices networks, fast 
food networks and others in the United States of America and foreign markets. The aggregate purchase price that was paid 
in  cash  amounted  $1,269,306  (93.4  million  dollars).  The  acquisition  was  accounted  for  as  a  business  combination  in 
accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. 

On  March  2,  2012  Bachoco  USA,  LLC.  was  incorporated  as  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  and  Bachoco  USA,  LLC 
acquired 100% of the shares of OK Industries, Inc. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2011  include  the  consolidated  statement  of 
financial position of OK Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of such date, based on the best estimate of the fair value of net 
asset 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  fair  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 fair value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets, was 
utilized  primarily  for  property.  The  market  approach  calculates  fair  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  recorded  at  their  fair  value  less  selling  expenses.  The  investment  in  insurance  policies  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  of  the  fair  value  of  the  main  classes  of  consideration  transferred  and  the  recognized  amounts  of  acquired 
assumed  assets  and  assumed  liabilities  at  the  date  of  acquisition  (November  1,  2011)  is  included  below,  as  well  as 
measurement period adjustments made 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:

The gain on bargain purchase was generated given that the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date 
exceeded the consideration transferred. The bargain purchase gain stemmed from the fact that former strategies resulted in 
a high cost structure with limited opportunity to improve profitability for the entity. As a consequence, the fair value of the 
enterprise  as  a  whole  was  determined  to  be  less  than  fair  value  of  the  assets  that  comprise  the  entity.  Thus,  a  bargain 
purchase  gain  was  recognized  as  bargain  purchase  price  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  profit  and  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income, within other income (expenses), net (see note 30). 

Had  the  acquisition  occurred  on  January  1,  2011,  management  estimates  that  consolidated  revenues  and  consolidated 
profits for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have totaled $34,809,853 and $911,952, respectively. 

The consolidated revenue of the acquired business for the year ended on December 31, 2011 is disclosed in note 6b. 

Costs related to OK industries acquisition.  

During  2011,  the  Company  incurred  costs  related  to  the  acquisition  of  OK  Industries,  Inc.  of  $11,426  corresponding  to 
external  legal  fees  and  due  diligence  costs.  The  external  legal  fees  and  due  diligence  costs  have  been  included  in  other 
expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 
December 31, 2011 (note 29). 

b)  Trosi de Carne, S.A. de C.V. acquisition 

On August 20, 2011, Induba Pavos, S.A. de C.V. (subsidiary) acquired certain assets of Trosi de Carne, S.A. de C.V. In 
accordance  with  IFRS  3,  such  net  assets  qualify  as  business  combination.  The  net  assets  acquired  are  used  to  the 
production of high processed products from beef and pork.  

Below is a summary of the net assets acquired at their fair value (determined within the measurement period and recorded 
at the acquisition date in accordance with IFRS 3) and the purchase price paid in cash.

c)  Acquisition of property, plant and equipment of Mercantil Agropecuario Coromuel, S.A. de C.V. 

On December 16, 2011, Bachoco, S.A. de C.V. (subsidiary) acquired certain assets from Mercantil Agropecuaria Corumel, 
S.A. de C.V., entity located in the state of Baja California Sur. The transaction consisted of the acquisition of property, plant 
and equipment, for an amount of $55,522. The acquisition was intended to increase the brand commercial presence and 
improve the distribution channels in that region. 

d)  Acquisition of Morris Hatchery, Inc. 

On July 9, 2013, the Company reached an agreement to acquire assets from the breeding farms of Morris Hatchery Inc., 
located in Arkansas, United States of America. This acquisition mainly consists of poultry equipment and inventory, and has 
a  capacity  of  breeding  birds  that  produce  hatching  eggs.  The  hatching  eggs  will  ultimately  be  used  internally  by  the 
Company,  benefitting  the  United  States  of  America  operations  given  that  they  did  not  previously  have  the  capacity  of 
breeding birds that produce hatching eggs. The Company concluded that the transaction represented the acquisition of a 
business. 

Below is a summary of the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date in conformity with IFRS 3, as well as 
the  purchase  price  paid.  The  amounts  are  final;  accordingly  the  Company  will  not  take  advantage  of  the  use  of  the 
measurement period permitted by IFRS 3.

Third party acquisition costs paid by the Company were not material, given that it utilized mostly its own resources in the 
acquisition. Given that the acquisition was for the benefit of the Company’s own internal operations, it is impracticable to 
determine the amount of revenues generated by Morris Hatchery since its acquisition.

The main subsidiaries of the group and their activities are as follows: 

- Bachoco, S.A. de C.V. (BSACV) (includes four subsidiaries which are 51% owned, and over which BSACV has control). 
BSACV is engaged in breeding, processing and marketing poultry goods (chicken and eggs). 

- On March 2, 2012, Bachoco USA, LLC was incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States of America as a wholly 
owned subsidiary of the Company with 100% of the shareholding. From that date, Bachoco USA, LLC holds the shares of 
OK Industries, Inc. and, therefore, of the operations of the Company in the United States of America. OK Industries, Inc.

(6)  Operating segments 

Reportable  segments  have  been  determined  based  on  a  line  of  product  approach.  Intersegment  transactions  have  been 
eliminated. The poultry segment consists of chicken and egg operations. The information included in the “Others” segment 
corresponds to pigs, balanced feed for animal consumption and other insignificant by-products. 

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. The accounting policies of operating segments are as those 
described in note 3 s). 

Below is the information related to each reportable segment. Performance is measured based on each segment’s income 
before taxes, in the same manner as  it is included in management reports that  are reviewed  by the Company’s  General 
Director. Each segment’s profits are used in measuring performance as management believes such information is the most 
appropriate for assessing the results of certain segments.

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  2013,  2012  and  2011,  no  customer  represented  over  10%  of  the  Company’s  total 
revenues. 

The Company has transactions with Ozark Mountain Poultry, Inc. representing 14%, 12% and 4% of total sales outside of 
Mexico during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

(7)  Cash and cash equivalents

financial instruments, in order to meet future commitments that may stem from adverse market movements affecting prices 
on the open positions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.  

Investments  with  maturities  less  than  three  months  include  cash  of  $29,858  and  $38,431,  related  to  high-liquidity 
investments for 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Note 8).

Financial instruments and risk management 

The Company is exposed to market risks, liquidity risks and credit risks for the use of financial instruments, for which reason 
it exercises its risk management.

This  note  presents  information  on  the  Company’s  exposure  to  each  one  of  the  aforementioned  risks,  the  Company’s 
objectives, policies and processes for the measurement and management of financial risks. 

Risk management framework 

The  philosophy  adopted  by  the  Company  seeks  to  minimize  risks  and,  therefore  maximize  business  stability,  focusing 
decisions on creating an optimum combination of products and assets that produce a risk – return ratio more in agreement 
with the risk profile of its stockholders. 

In order to establish a clear and optimum organizational structure with respect to risk management, a Risk Committee has 
been  established  which  is  the  specialized  body  in  charge  of  defining,  proposing,  approving  and  implementing  the 
objectives,  policies,  procedures,  methodologies  and  strategies,  as  well  as  the  determination  of  the  maximum  limits  of 
exposure to risk and contingency plans.

(2,970,090) 

(1,197,056) 
(1,526,602) 
(3,094,632) 

Credit risk is defined as the potential loss of a portfolio of an amount owed to the Company due to lack of payment from a 
debtor,  or  for  breach  by  a  counterparty  with  which  derivative  financial  instruments  and  primary  financial  instruments 
transactions are conducted. 

The  risk  management  process  contemplates  the  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments  and  primary  financial  instruments, 
which are exposed to a market risk, but are also to counterparty risk.  

Measurement and monitoring of counterparty risk  

The  Company,  in  terms  of  valuation  and  monitoring  of  derivative  financial  instruments  and  primary  financial  instruments, 
measures  its  counterparty  risk  by  identifying  the  Credit  Valuation  Adjustment  (CVA)  and  Debit  Valuation  Adjustment 
(DVA). 

For  investments  in  primary  financial  instruments  in  national  currency,  the  financial  instruments  valuation  models  used  by 
price suppliers incorporate market movements and credit quality of issuers, thereby implicitly including the counterparty risk 
of  the  transaction  in  the  fair  value  determination;  therefore,  the  position  in  primary  financial  instruments  includes  the

counterparty  risk  and  no  other  study  and/or  related  study  is  carried  out.  The  price  of  the  instruments  obtained  from  the 
price supplier is mid prices, which is the mid-price between the buying price and the selling price. As of December 31, 2013 
and 2012, the balance of held to maturity investments is $31,465 and $38,958, respectively. 

Investments in primary financial instruments in foreign currency not listed in Mexico are valued at prices contained in the 
broker's  statements  of  account.  The  Company  validates  these  market  prices  with  Bloomberg,  which  incorporate  market 
movements  and  the  credit  quality  of  issuers;  thereby  implicitly  including  the  counterparty  risk  of  the  transaction  and  no 
related adjustment is carried out. The prices obtained from Bloomberg are mid prices. 

For derivative financial instruments traded in over the counter markets, CVA and/or DVA is calculated in Bloomberg for 
risk monitoring purposes, but it is not reflected in the Company's books as part of the derivative instruments fair value. As of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, the credit risk not reflected in derivative financial instruments is not considered material. 

Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable measurement and monitoring  

It is the policy of the Company to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover the balances of accounts receivable 
that are not likely to be recovered. To set the required allowance, the Company considers historical losses, assesses current 
market  conditions,  as  well  as  customers'  financial  conditions,  accounts  receivable  in  litigation,  price  differences,  portfolio 
aging and current payment patterns. 

The  impairment  assessment  of  accounts  receivable  is  performed  on  a  collective  basis,  as  there  are  no  accounts  with 
significant balances, and in the short-term. The Company's products are marketed to a large number of customers without 
any significant concentration with a specific customer. As part of the objective evidence that an account receivable portfolio 
is  impaired,  the  Company  considers  past  experiences  with  respect  to  collection,  increases  in  the  number  of  overdue 
payments in the portfolio exceeding the average loan period, as well as observable changes in national and local economic 
conditions that correlate to defaults. 

The Company has a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually in terms of its creditworthiness 
before offering it payment terms and conditions. The Company's review includes internal and external assessments, and in 
some cases, bank references and a search in the Public Registry of Properties. Purchase limits that represent the maximum 
open amount are set for each customer. Customers that do not meet the Company's credit references can solely conduct 
transactions in cash or through advance payments. 

The allowance for doubtful accounts includes trade accounts receivable that are impaired, which amount to $86,564 and 
$58,910  as  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  respectively.  The  reconciliation  of  movements  the  allowance  for  doubtful 
accounts, and the analysis of past-due accounts receivable but not impaired, are presented in note 9. 

The Company receives guarantees on credit lines granted to its clients, which consist of real and personal property, such as 
land, buildings, houses, vehicles, credit cards, cash deposits and others. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the guarantees 
fair value, determined through an appraisal at the time the loan is granted, is $497,490 and $517,269 respectively. 

The fair value of trade accounts receivable is similar to the carrying amount, as the terms granted under credit lines are of a 
short nature and do not include significant financial components. 

(d) 

Investments 

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk with respect to derivative and primary financial instruments by investing solely 
in liquid securities and solely with counterparties that have a credit rating scale or investing grade. Management constantly 
monitors credit ratings, and as it invests solely in securities with high credit ratings, it is not expected that any counterparty 
fails to fulfill its obligations. 

Investments in debt and equity instruments with a credit rating less than those referred to in the preceding paragraph are 
authorized by the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.

Exposure to credit risk 

The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  represents  the  maximum  credit  exposure,  which  as  of  the  reporting  date  is  as

Investments designated at fair value through profit and loss include $29,858 and $38,431 in highly liquid of investments for 
2013 and 2012, respectively. 

c) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is defined as the potential loss stemming from the impossibility to renew liabilities or enter into other liabilities 
under normal terms, the early or forced sale of assets or the need to grant unusual discounts in order to meet obligations, or 
by the fact that a position cannot be disposed of, acquired or covered promptly through the establishment of an equivalent 
contrary position. 

Liquidity  risk  management  process  considers  the  management  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  included  in  the  consolidated 
statements of financial position (Assets Liabilities Management - ALM) in order to anticipate funding difficulties because of 
extreme events. 

Monitoring 

The  Company’s  areas  of  risk  management  and  financial  planning  measure,  monitor  and  report  to  the  Risk  Committee 
liquidity risks  associated  with the  ALM and prepare limits for the  authorization,  implementation  and  operation thereof, as 
well as contingent action measures in case of liquidity requirements. 

Liquidity  risk  caused  by  differences  between  current  and  projected  cash  flows  at  different  dates  are  measured  and 
monitored, considering all asset and liability positions of the Company denominated in local and foreign currency. Similarly, 
funding diversification and sources to which the Company has access are evaluated. 

The Company quantifies the potential loss arising from early or forced sale of assets or sale at unusual discounts to meet its 
obligations  in  a  timely  manner,  as  well  as  by  the  fact  that  a  position  cannot  be  disposed  of,  acquired  or  covered  timely 
through the establishment of a contrary equivalent position. 

Liquidity risk  monitoring considers a liquidity gap  analysis, scenarios for lack of  liquidity and use of alternative sources of 
financing. 

Below are the contractual maturities of the financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments. As of the date of the 
consolidated financial statements, there are no financial instruments which have been offset or recognized positions that are 
subject to offsetting rights.

The Company, at a minimum on a monthly basis, evaluates and advises the Board of Directors on the Company's liquidity. 
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has evaluated that it has sufficient resources to meet its obligations in the short and 
long term; therefore, it does not consider having liquidity gaps in the future and it will not be necessary to sell assets to pay 
its debts at unusual discounts or at out-of-market prices. 

d) 

Market risk 

Market risk is defined as the potential loss of a portfolio of derivative financial instruments and primary financial instruments 
held  for  trading  purposes,  for  changes  in  risk  factors  that  affect  the  valuation  of  short  or  long  positions.  In  this  sense,  the 
uncertainty  of  future  losses  resulting  from  changes  in  market  conditions  (interest  rates,  foreign  currency,  prices  of 
commodities, etc.), which directly affects movements in the price of both assets and liabilities, is detected. 

The Company measures, monitors and reports all financial instruments subject to market risk, using sensitivity measurement 
models  to  show  the  potential  loss  associated  with  movements  in  risk  variables,  according  to  different  scenarios  on rates, 
prices and types of change during the period. 

Monitoring 

Sensitivity  analyses  are  prepared  at  least  monthly  and  are  compared  with  the  limits  established.  Any  excess  identified  is 
reported to the Risk Committee. 

Stress tests 

At least monthly, the Company conducts stress tests calculating the value of the portfolios and considering changes in risk 
factors observed in historical dates of financial stress.

i.  Commodities price risk 

The  Company  seeks  to  protect  itself  against  variations  in  the  agreed-upon  price  of  primary  commodities  used  in  its 
operations,  making  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments  that  are  designated  as  either  accounting  hedges  or  economic 
hedges. 

With respect to risks related to commodities designated in a formal hedging relationship, the Company seeks protection 
against downward variations in the agreed-upon price of corn and/or sorghum with the producer, which may represent an 
opportunity cost as there are lower prices in the current market upon receiving the inventory, and  to hedge the risk of a 
decline in prices between the receipt date and that of inventory consumption. 

Purchases  of  corn  and/or  sorghum  are  formalized  through  an  agreement  denominated  "Forward  buy-sell  agreement", 
which has the following characteristics: 

•  Transaction date 
•  Number of agreed-upon tons 
•  Harvest, state and agricultural cycle from which the harvest comes 
•  Price of product per ton, plus quality award or penalty 

Agricultural agreements that result in firm commitments are linked to two corn and/or sorghum agricultural cycles, and in 
contracting purchases: both contracting cycles and dates are itemized as follows: 

• 

Fall-winter Cycle - The registration window period is at the discretion of the Agency of Services for Distribution and 
Development  of  Agricultural  Markets  (ASERCA,  for  its  Spanish  acronym),  which  is  usually  between  December  and 
March, while the fall-winter cycle harvest period takes place during May, June and July. However, corn and/or harvest 
could lengthen up to one month or several months, depending on the weather conditions, such as drought and frost.  

•  Spring-summer  Cycle  -  The  registration  window  period  is  at  the  discretion  of  ASERCA;  the  spring-summer  cycle 

usually takes place during the July and August and the harvest depends on each State and is very variable. 

The Company carries out prospective effectiveness tests at the beginning of each hedge and, at least on a quarterly basis, 
retrospective effectiveness tests. The hedges are and will be highly effective since they are between the 80%-125% range. 

As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  has  effective  hedging  positions  of  corn  long  puts  with  ASERCA,  maturing  in 
March, July, September and December 2014. The gain on valuation of these instruments is $120,560, recorded within cost 
of sales. At December 31, 2012, there were no open positions of long put hedge options with ASERCA. 

The  Company  maintains  a  contractual  agreement  with  ASERCA  in  which  the  Company  will  pay  55%  of  the  option 
premium and ASERCA will pay the remaining 45%. In case the option is In the Money (Strike>Forward), the Company will 
recover the 55% portion paid and an additional 22.5% which is equivalent to 50% of the portion paid by ASERCA. Due to 
its nature and according to the established by IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government 
Assistance,  the  portion  paid  by  ASERCA  must  be  recognized  as  an  income  over  the  term  of  the  instrument  in  order  to 
match it against the costs it is intended to offset, on a systematic basis. The effect of such benefit as of December 31, 2013 
and 2012 is $14,819 and $0, respectively. 

With respect to the risk in commodities that are not designated in a formal hedging relationship and to which the Company 
is  exposed,  sensitivity  tests  on  corn  and  sorghum  futures  agreements  are  entered  into,  considering  different  (bullish  and 
bearish) scenarios. These results can be seen in paragraph g) of this note. 

ii.  Chicken price risk 

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

58 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company reviews chicken prices frequently in order to evaluate the need of having a financial instrument to manage 
the risk. 

iii.  Exchange risk  

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate mainly on MXP/dollars parity in the Company's assets and 
liabilities, such as: primary financial instruments (investments), derivative financial instruments hedging commodities, which 
are  denominated  in  a  currency  other  than  the  Company's  functional  currency.  In  this  regard,  the  Company  has 
implemented a sensitivity analysis to measure the effects that currency risk may have over the assets and liabilities described. 

The Company protects itself through economic hedging with derivative financial instruments, a percentage of its estimated 
exposure  to  exchange  rate  variations  in  relation  to  sales  and  purchases  projected  during  the  year  and  in  the  months 
needed.  Maturities  of  all  instruments  referred  to  as  hedges  for  foreign  exchange  risk  are  less  than  one  year  from  the 
contracting date. 

As  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  the  Company  does  not  have  derivative  financial  instrument  positions  to  hedge 
exchange rate risks. 

iv.  Foreign currency position 

The Company has financial instrument assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency on which there is an exposure 
to currency risk. 

Below is the foreign currency position that the Company has as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company carries out a sensitivity analysis related to the effect that the movement in the exchange rates may have on its 
financial  information.  These  results  are  shown  in  paragraph  g)  of  this  note.  These  analyses  represent  the  scenarios  that 
Management considers reasonably possible that would have occurred at the end of the fiscal year. 

v.  Interest rate risk 

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in rates for primary financial instruments, such as investments, bank loans and debt 
securities.  This  risk  is  managed  through  derivative  financial  instruments  such  as  interest  rate  swaps  or  others,  taking  into 
account market conditions and the criterion of its Risk Committee and Board of Directors. 

Interest rate fluctuations impacted mainly bank loans by changing either their fair value (fixed rate debt) or its future cash 
flows (variable rate debt). Management does not have a formal policy to determine how much of the Company's exposure 
should be at fixed or variable rate. However, at the time of obtaining new loans, Management uses its judgment to decide 
whether it considers that a fixed or variable rate would be more favorable during the period foreseen to maturity. 

As a follow-up to this risk, the Company performs, at least monthly, sensitivity tests to measure the effect of the change in 
interest rates in the instruments described in the preceding paragraph, which are listed in subsection g) of this note. 

e) 

Financial instruments at fair value 

The amounts of accounts payable, accounts receivable and short-term debt approximate their fair value because of their 
nature and short-term maturities.

Quantitative sensitivity measurements 

Following are sensitivity analyses for the more significant risks to which the Company is exposed as of December 31, 2013. 
These analyses represent the scenarios that Management considers reasonably possible that could have occurred  at the 
end of fiscal year 2013. 

i.  Derivative Financial Instruments (DFIs) 

As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  Company's  derivative  financial  instruments  were  comprised  of  instruments  to  hedge 
commodity risk only. At year-end levels, the level of exposure of the existing instruments is a loss of $372. 

If at the end of the fiscal year 2013, the bullish price of corn and of short ton of soybean increased 7.5%, the amount of loss 
related  to  the  Company’s  derivative  financial  instruments  would  increase  to  $1,630,  affecting  the  profit  and  loss  of  the 
period to a greater loss on derivative financial instruments. If on the other hand, the aforementioned prices decreased 7.5%, 
then  the  effect  would  be  the  opposite;  i.e.,  the  Company  would  have  experienced  a  benefit  in  the  profit  and  loss  of  the 
period of $666. 

ii.  Interest rate risk 

As  of  December  31,  2013,  the  total  position  of  primary  financial  instruments  by  financial  debt  and  debt  securities 
demonstrates a level of annual exposure to losses of $7,113. 

If, as of the 2013 closing date, variable rates to which the Company is exposed had  been higher by 25 basis points, the 
amount  of  interest  paid  would  increase  to  $4,896  affecting  the  income  of  the  year.  If  on  the  other  hand,  these  rates 
decreased by 25 basis points, then the effect would be the opposite; i.e., a benefit in the income of the year of $4,896.  

iii.  Exchange risk 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company's net monetary liability position in foreign currency was $86,505. 

If,  as  of  the  2013  closing  date,  the  exchange  rate  increased  $0.50  cents,  the  gain  (loss)  from  foreign  currency  position 
would  decrease  by  $2,341,  affecting  the  Company’s  profit  and  loss  and  stockholders’  equity  with  a  loss  from  foreign 
currency  exchange  effects.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  the  exchange  rate  increased  by  $0.50,  then  the  effect  would  be  the 
opposite; that is, an increase in profit and loss and stockholders’ equity of $2,341 for a financial position gain.

seeking recoverability) of $86,564 and $58,910, respectively. 

The Company believes that non-impaired amounts that are overdue by more than 60 days can still be collected, based on 
the historical behavior of payments and analysis of credit ratings of customers.

To determine the recoverability of an account receivable, the Company considers any change in the credit quality of the 
account  receivable  from  the  date  of  authorization  of  the  credit  line  to  the  end  of  the  reference  period.  In  addition,  the 
Company estimates that the credit risk concentration is limited as the customer base is very large and there are no related 
party receivables or receivables from entities under common control.

of $12,984 in 2011. 

The Company is exposed to different risks relating to its biological assets: 

• 

• 

• 

Future  excesses  in  the  offer  of  poultry  products  and  a  decline  in  the  demand  growth  of  the  chicken  industry  may 
negatively affect the Company’s results. 

Increases in raw material prices and price volatility may negatively affect the Company’s margins and results.

The  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash-generating  unit  is  determined  based  on  a  calculation  of  its  value  in  use,  which  uses 
projections  of  the  estimated  cash  flows  based  on  financial  budgets  approved  by  the  administration,  prevailing  for  a 
determined projection period, which are discounted using an annual discount rate. 

Projections of the cash flows during the  budgeted period are based on sales projections which include increases due to 
inflation,  as  well  as  the  projection  of  expected  gross  margins  and  operating  margins  during  the  budgeted  period.  Cash 
flows  that  exceed  such  period  are  extrapolated  using  an  annual  stable  growth  rate,  which  is  the  long-term  weighted 
average growth rate for the market in which the cash-generating unit operates. 

The assumptions and balances of each cash-generating unit are as follows:

Debt for issuing debt securities 

On  August  28,  2012,  the  Company  was  authorized  to  issue  debt  securities  in  the  total  amount  of  the  program  of 
$5,000,000 or the equivalent in UDIS (1), on a revolving basis, for a term of five years from the date of the authorization 
letter from the Mexican Banking Commission. The initial issuance dated August 31, 2012 was of $1,500,000 pesos with 
ticker symbol: "BACHOCO 12" for a term of 1,820 days, equivalent to 65 periods of 28 days, approximately five years, 
with 15,000,000 debt securities and a par value of $100 pesos per certificate. 

From the date of issuance, and while the debt securities have not been paid, they will accrue annual gross interest on their 
par value, at an annual interest rate, which is calculated by adding 0.60 percentage points at the 28-day TIIE, and in the 
event  the  28-day  TIIE  were  not  published,  at  the  nearest  term  published  by  the  Bank  of  Mexico.  The  common 
representative  of  the  stock-holders  will  calculate  the  accrued  interest  two  business  days  prior  to  the  beginning  of  each 
interest period of 28 days, according to the payment schedule, computed from the date of issuance or at the beginning of 
each interest period and governed precisely during that interest period. 

Debt securities will be paid at the expiration of the issuance term. Direct costs arising from debt issuance or contract are 
capitalized  and  amortized  as  part  of  financial  expense  using  the  effective  interest  rate  through  the  expiration  of  each 
transaction. Such costs include commissions and professional fees.

Income Tax  

Under the tax legislation in Mexico in effect through December 31, 2013, companies must pay the greater of Income Tax 
(ISR, by its Spanish acronym) or  Flat Income Tax (IETU, by its Spanish acronym). If IETU is payable, the payment will be 
considered  final,  not  subject  to  recovery  in  subsequent  years.  The  Mexican  Congress  approved  tax  reforms  that  were 
enacted in 2013 but will be in effect beginning January 1, 2014, which include a new ISR Law and the elimination of IETU. 

a) 

ISR 

The  Company  and  each  of  its  subsidiaries  file  separate  income  tax  returns  (including  its  foreign  subsidiary,  which  files 
income  tax  returns  in  the  United  States  of  America,  based  on  its  fiscal  year  ending  in  April  of  every  year).  For  the  years 
ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the applicable rate under the general tax regime in Mexico is 30%; this rate will be 
applicable  in  future  years  as  well.  The  applicable  rate  for  the  foreign  subsidiary  is  38.79%.  Until  December  31,  2013 
BSACV, the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, was subject to ISR under the provisions of a simplified regime, which 
is  applicable  to  companies  engaged  exclusively  in  agriculture,  cattle-raising,  fishing,  forestry  and  other  activities.  The  ISR 
Law  establishes  that  the  aforementioned  activities  are  exclusive  activities  when  no  more  than  10%  of  an  entity’s  total 
revenues  are  generated  from  something  other  than  those  activities  or  otherwise  from  the  production  of  processed 
products. BSACV has complied with such provision. The simplified regime established that the taxable income for ISR is 
determined over collected income less paid deductions. The tax rate for this regime was 21%.

As a result of the new ISR law, which was enacted in 2013 and is effective as of January 1, 2014, the simplified regime was 
eliminated and is substituted with the an agriculture, cattle-raising, forestry and fishing regime, which is applicable for entities 
exclusively dedicated to such activities. The ISR Law establishes that such activities are exclusive when no more than 10% of 
the entities’ total revenues are generated from something other than those activities or from industrialized products. In order 
to determine ISR, under the agricultural, cattle-raising, forestry and fishing regime, taxable income is calculated by adding 
collected revenue and subtracting paid deductions; the tax rate will be 21% on annual taxable income up to 10 million pesos, 
and for taxable income in excess of that amount, the tax rate will be 30%. 

b) 

IETU 

Through December 31, 2013, IETU was calculated applying the rate of 17.5% to profit determined based on cash flows less 
some authorized tax credits. 

IETU credits were derived mainly from the unamortized negative IETU basis, taxable salaries for ISR purposes and social 
security contributions, as well as credits derived from deductions of certain assets such as inventories and property, plant 
and equipment. 

IETU was required to be paid when it was greater than ISR for the same fiscal year. To determine the IETU payable, the 
income tax paid for the same period was subtracted from the current IETU.  

If a negative IETU base was determined because authorized deductions exceeded taxable income, no current IETU was 
payable.  The  amount  of  the  negative  base  multiplied  by  the  IETU  rate  resulted  in  an  IETU  credit,  which  may  be  applied 
against ISR for the same year or, if applicable, against IETU payable in the next ten years. According to the Income Tax Law, 
crediting IETU against ISR of the same fiscal year was not applicable for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. 

As discussed above, the Mexican Congress eliminated the IETU Law, beginning January 1, 2014. 

c) 

Tax charged to profit and loss 

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the income tax expense (benefit) included in profit and loss is as

Deferred income tax 

Through December 31, 2012, based on its financial projections, the Company considered it would pay ISR in future years. 
In addition, as a result of the elimination of IETU in 2014, the Company will only pay ISR in the future and considered this tax 
as the base for the determination of deferred tax effects. 

The  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences  and  tax  credits  that  give  rise  to  significant  portions  of  deferred  tax  assets  and

Impacts on the tax reform for changes beginning 2014 

As  discussed  above,  the  Mexican  Congress  approved  a  new  ISR  Law  that  was  enacted  in  2013  but  will  go  into  effect 
beginning January 1, 2014. Due to this tax reform, the Company has recognized in its financial statements a charge to 2013 
results  in  the  amount  of  $674,810  of  deferred  income  tax  mainly  arising  from  the  measurement  of  deferred  assets  and 
liabilities determined based on the new agriculture, cattle-raising, forestry and fishing regime, for the change in the general 
income tax rate to 30% and for the limitation to the deductible amount of certain employee benefit expenses provisioned. 

The main income tax impact to the Company is related to the increase from 21% to 30% in the tax rate of BSACV, the 
Company’s primary operating subsidiary, and to the deductible limitation of 53% of wage expenses that are tax exempt 
income for workers. 

(21) 

Employee benefits 

a) 

Employee benefits in Mexico 

Defined contribution plans 

The Company has a defined contribution plan which receives contributions from both the employees and the Company. 
Employees can make contributions from 1% to 5% of their wage and the Company is obligated to make contributions as 
follows: i) from the first to the fifth year of service of 1% of the wage, ii) from the sixth year of services of the employee the 
contribution  of  the  Company  is  increased  by  1%  until  it  reaches  5%,  and  iii)  for  the  subsequent  years  the  Company 
contribution  will  be  the  same  as  the  employee’s.  When  an  employee  retires  from  the  Company  he/she  has  the  right  to 
receive the contribution he/she has made to the plan, and i) if the employee retires between the first and the fourth year of 
services, he/she does not have the right to receive the contribution made by the Company, ii) if he/she retires on the fifth 
year of services he/she has the right to receive 50% of the contributions made by the Company and, for each additional 
service year, the employee has the right to receive an additional 10% of the contributions made by the Company. 

The Company makes payments equivalent to 2% of the integrated wage of its workers to the defined contribution plan for 
the retirement saving fund system established by the Mexican law. The expense for this concept was $40,023, $39,681 
and $38,699, in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Defined benefits plan 

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering non-unionized personnel in Mexico. The benefits are based on 
the  age,  years  of  service  and  the  employee’s  payment.  The  retirement  age  is  65  years,  with  a  minimum  of  10  years  of 
services,  and  there  is  an  option  for  an  anticipated  retirement  option,  in  certain  circumstances,  at  55  years  of  age.  The 
Company’s policy to fund the pension plan is to make contributions up to the maximum amount that can be deducted for 
ISR purposes based on the projected unit credit method.

Additionally,  according  to  the  Mexican  Federal  Labor  Law,  the  Company  is  obligated  to  pay  a  seniority  premium  as  a 
retirement benefit if an employee retires and has at least 15 years of services, which consists of a sole payment of 12 days for 
each worked year based on the last wage, limited to the two minimal wages established by law. 

The Company recognizes as a benefit plan, a constructive obligation from past practices. Such constructive obligation is 
associated with service time the employee has worked on the Company. The payment of this benefit is disbursed in a single 
installment at the time the employee voluntarily stops working for the Company.  

The plans in Mexico expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk: 

Interest risk 

Longevity risk 

Salary risk 

A  decrease  in  the  interest  rate  for  the  governmental  bonds  will  increase  the  plan’s 
liability. 

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best 
estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An 
increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability. 

The  present  value  of  the  defined  benefit  plan  liability  is  calculated  by  reference  to  the 
future  salaries  of  plan  participants.  As  such,  an  increase  in  the  salary  of  the  plan 
participants will increase the plan’s liability. 

The projected net liability presented on the consolidated statements of financial position is integrated as follows: 

Present value of unfunded obligations 
Present value of funded obligations 
Total present value of benefit obligations (PBO) 
Plan assets at fair value 
Unrecognized actuarial losses

d) 

Dividends 

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company has declared and paid the following dividends: 

In 2013, the Company declared dividends on April and December as follows: 

•  On  April  24th,  the  Company  declared  a  payment  of  dividends  in  cash  at  nominal  value  of  $350,400  or  $0.584 
pesos per outstanding share. The payment was made in two even installments of $0.292 pesos in May and July, 2013. 

•  On December 6th, the Company declared a second payment of dividends in cash in the amount at nominal value of 

$600,000 or $1.00 peso per outstanding share, which was paid on December 23, 2013.  

In 2012 and 2011 the Company declared and paid dividends to its shareholders for a nominal value amount of $299,175 
and $299,926 respectively, or $0.50 per outstanding share in nominal pesos. 

Dividends that the Company pays to stockholders are subject to ISR solely insofar as such dividends exceed the balance in 
its net tax income account (CUFIN) consisting of income in which ISR is already paid by the Company. The ISR paid on 
dividends  corresponds  to  a  tax  payable  by  legal  entities  and  not  by  individuals.  However,  as  a  result  of  changes  to  the 
income tax law described in note 20a, beginning on January 1, 2014 there is a new tax of 10% for individuals who receive 
dividends  from  entities.  Such  tax  is  considered  a  withholding  tax  by  the  entity  that  pays  the  dividends.  This  tax  will  be 
applicable  only  to  the  income  generated  from  period  2014.  Thus,  the  Company  must  update  its  CUFIN  from  income 
generated up to December 31, 2013 and must calculate a new CUFIN with the income generated from January 1, 2014. 

The Company obtains most of its revenue and net income from BSACV. For fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, net income 
of BSACV, accounted for 71%, 79% and 86% respectively, of consolidated net income. Dividends for which BSACV pays 
ISR will be credited to the Company’s CUFIN account, and accordingly, any future liabilities arising from ISR will arise when 
such amounts are distributed as dividends by the Company to the stockholders. 

The  restated  amount  on  tax  bases  of  the  contributions  made  by  stockholders  (CUCA),  totaling  $2,416,635,  may  be 
refunded to them tax-free, to the extent that such amount is the same or higher than equity.

(26)  Earnings per share  

Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are $3.40, $3.65 and $1.96, respectively. The 
calculation  of  basic  earnings  per  share  was  based  on  income  attributable  to  ordinary  stockholders  of  $2,038,422, 
$2,184,567 and $1,177,346 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

The average weighted number of common outstanding in 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 599,992,952, 598,959,882 and 
599,822,448 shares, respectively. 

The Company has no ordinary shares with potential dilutive effects. 

(27)  Commitments 

•  Bachoco USA, LLC (foreign subsidiary) has self-insurance programs for health care costs and workers’ payments. The 
subsidiary  is  liable  for  health  care  claims  up  to  $4,582  (350  thousand  dollars)  each  year  per  plan  participant  and 
workers’ payments claims up to $13,090 (1,000 thousand dollars) per event. Self-insurance costs are recorded based 
on the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and an estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. The 
provision for this concept is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position within current 
liabilities  amounting  to  $48,472  (3,703  thousand  dollars)  as  at  December  31,  2013.  Likewise,  the  consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income includes expenses relating to self-insurance plans of $85,006 (6,494 thousand 
dollars) for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is required to maintain letters of credit on behalf of the 
subsidiary of $44,506 (3,400 thousand dollars) to secure self-insured workers' payments. 

• 

The  Company  has  entered  into  grain  supply  agreements  with  third  parties  as  part  of  the  regular  course  of  its 
operations. 

(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 obtained, 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. 

b) 

• 

• 

• 

Lawsuits 

The  Company  is  involved  in  a  number  of  lawsuits  and  claims  arising  from  the  regular  course  of  business.  In  the 
opinion  of  the  Company’s  management,  they  are  not  expected  to  have  significant  effects  on  the  Company’s 
financial position, operating results and future consolidated statements of cash flows. 

Bachoco USA, LLC. is involved in claims with the United States of America Department of Labor and the Unites 
State Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and various other matters related to its business, including workers’ 
payment  claims  and  environmental  issues.  As  at  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  the  Company  has  recorded 
provisions for potential claims of $19,635 (1,500 thousand dollars) and $25,740 (2,000 thousand dollars), which 
are included within current liabilities. 

On December 2009, the Mexican Federal Competition Agency (CFC, for its Spanish acronym) released a news 
report in which it announced an investigation on the Mexican poultry industry in reference to possible monopolistic 
practices.  The  accusation  was  not  referenced  to  a  specific  entity.  The  Company,  as  well  as  other  producers  and 
distributors,  was  required  to  provide  information  to  the  CFC  during  the  subsequent  years.  As  a  result  the  CFC 
determined the following: 

82 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- On November 2012, the CFC imposed a fine of $1.4 million pesos to Bachoco, arguing Bachoco conspired with 
local  producers  to  manipulate  the  chicken  price  in  Chetumal,  Quintana  Roo.  Price  manipulation  is  a  prohibited 
practice under Mexican law. 

- On January 2013, the CFC released a new announcement with a new fine of $1.6 million pesos, arguing Bachoco 
conspired with local producers to manipulate the chicken price in Cancún, Quintana Roo. 

In all cases, the Company disagreed with the CFC’s resolution and appealed all of the resolutions according to the 
provisions of Mexican law, to assert its rights as a company that contributes to the development of the country and 
to a free market. The Company and its attorneys do not believe that it is probable that it will receive an unfavorable 
outcome for which reason it has not provisioned any amounts. 

c) 

Tax contingencies 

In accordance with tax laws, Mexican authorities are empowered to review transactions carried out during the five 
years prior to the most recent ISR return filed. For the operations in the United States of America, the authorities of 
that country are empowered to review transactions carried out during the three years prior to the due date of the 
most recent annual tax return. Although the Company is under review by tax authorities, nothing has come to its 
attention as a result of those reviews that would indicate that a contingency exists.
