The Group’s subsidiary CSB Drogarias, S.A., a Brazilian company, has not maintained a<strong>de</strong>quate accounting records in connection with the caption inventories for the period January 1<br />

through December 31, <strong>20</strong>11. Moreover, the Brazilian subsidiary lacks control related to assessing certain contingencies. Preparation of subsidiary financial statements is required for the<br />

accurate preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with financial reporting standards applicable to Mexico and accounting principles generally accepted in the<br />

United States of America.<br />

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness <strong>de</strong>scribed above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, <strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong>, S.A.B. <strong>de</strong> C.V. and<br />

Subsidiaries has not maintained, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>11, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework<br />

issued by COSO.<br />

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America) and with auditing standards generally accepted<br />

in Mexico, the consolidated balance sheets of <strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong>, S.A.B. <strong>de</strong> C.V. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 and <strong>20</strong>10, and the related consolidated statements of income,<br />

changes in stockhol<strong>de</strong>rs’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11. Our report dated May 15, <strong>20</strong>12 expressed a qualified opinion on those<br />

consolidated financial statements for <strong>20</strong>11 due to limitation on the scope of our engagement as discussed in that report.<br />
