In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been <strong>de</strong>termined to be necessary had we been<br />

able to audit the inventories balance as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 and certain contingencies as mentioned above, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all<br />

material respects, the financial position 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 results of their operations, changes in<br />

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, in conformity with financial reporting standards applicable in Mexico.<br />

We also have audited the adjustments <strong>de</strong>scribed in Note 3 a) to the accompanying consolidated of the Group financial statements that were applied to restate the <strong>20</strong>10 consolidated<br />

financial statements of FASA and its applicable period in that year, as well as its impact on prior periods to correct certain accounting error of FASA. In our opinion, such adjustments<br />

are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the <strong>20</strong>10 consolidated financial statements of FASA other than with<br />

respect to such adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on those <strong>20</strong>10 financial statements taken as a whole.<br />

Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (Mexican FRS) vary in certain material respects to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). A<br />

summary of these differences and a partial reconciliation of consolidated net income for each of the three years in the period en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 and consolidated stockhol<strong>de</strong>rs’<br />

equity as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 and <strong>20</strong>10 from Mexican FRS to U.S. GAAP, as permitted by Form <strong>20</strong>-F of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America, are set<br />

forth in Notes 22 and 23.<br />

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the Group’s internal control over financial<br />

reporting as of December 31, <strong>20</strong>11, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway<br />

Commission (COSO), and our report dated May 15, <strong>20</strong>12 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting.<br />
