ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM<br />

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM<br />

Board of Directors and Stockhol<strong>de</strong>rs<br />

<strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong>, S.A.B. <strong>de</strong> C.V.:<br />

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of <strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong>, S.A.B. <strong>de</strong> C.V. and Subsidiaries (collectively the Group) as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 and <strong>20</strong>10<br />

(restated), and the related consolidated statements of income, 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. These<br />

financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit<br />

the consolidated financial statements of Farmacias Ahumada, S.A. and Subsidiaries (FASA) as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>10, and for the period from October 3 to December 31, <strong>20</strong>10, except that<br />

we audited the adjustments for the correction of errors <strong>de</strong>scribed in Note 3 a) to the consolidated financial statements. Those statements were audited, before the effects of the<br />

adjustments for the correction of the errors <strong>de</strong>scribed in Note 3 a), by other auditors whose report was furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts inclu<strong>de</strong>d for<br />

FASA, was based solely on the report of the other auditors. FASA is a Chilean subsidiary acquired on October 3, <strong>20</strong>10, which statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting<br />

31 percent and 13 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated totals as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>10.<br />

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America) and with auditing standards generally<br />

accepted in Mexico. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material<br />

misstatement. An audit inclu<strong>de</strong>s examining, on a test basis, evi<strong>de</strong>nce supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also inclu<strong>de</strong>s assessing the<br />

accounting principles used and significant estimates ma<strong>de</strong> by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report<br />

of the other auditors referred to in the first paragraph provi<strong>de</strong> a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />

At December 31, <strong>20</strong>11, the Brazilian subsidiary CSB Drogarias, S.A. (Drogarias) lacked a<strong>de</strong>quate accounting records in connection with the inventories balance in the amount of Ps.<br />

76,000 (thousands of Mexican pesos). We were not able to audit the reasonableness of this value through the use of additional alternative procedures. In addition, Drogarias had<br />

certain contingencies that might result in present obligations that have not been properly quantified, as discussed in Note <strong>20</strong> l) to the financial statements.<br />
