period last year.

CEO's Comments:
Cristobal Mondragon, Bachoco's CEO, stated, "Second quarter results
continued largely affected by the global trend of higher raw materials prices,
which continued to affect the cost of grain and soybean meal. The cost of
these ingredients rose even higher during this quarter and reached record
levels. These increases coupled with a sluggish economic condition in our
markets that did not allow us to fully transfer cost increases into chicken
prices, and continued to affect the Company's results.
"Despite said adverse difficulties, we were able to deliver positive
results given our focus to reinforce productivity, and optimize our product
mix, while keeping the best level of service for our customers.
"Our commitment will continue to satisfy our customers' needs by providing
high quality products, delivering satisfactory results to our shareholders and
continuing to implement our growth plans," concluded Mr. Mondragon.
Releases during the quarter:
-- On April 16 the Company announced a partial fire at the secondary
process of its plant located in Monterrey in northern Mexico.
-- On May 29 the Company announced the construction of new farms to be
built in the south of Mexico.

SECOND QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
Net Sales
Net sales for the quarter reached Ps. 4,987.5 million, 3.0% above the Ps.
4,842.1 million reported in 2Q07. This increase was mainly driven by the 1.3%
increase in chicken sales, 15.9% in table eggs sales and 61.4% in swine sales,
which was partially offset by 7.2% decrease in balanced feed sales.
Net Sales 2Q08 (%) 2Q07 (%)
CHICKEN 77.8 79.1
EGGS 9.4 8.3
BALANCED FEED 7.4 8.2
SWINE 1.1 0.7
OTHER LINES 4.3 3.7
TOTAL COMPANY 100.0 100.0
Operating Results
Bachoco's second quarter gross margin was 17.9%, lower than 23.1% reached
in 2Q07. The decrease is mainly attributed to the constant increases in raw
materials cost. The Company's operating profit was Ps. 311.6 million lower
than Ps. 559.6 million reached in 2Q07. EBITDA for the quarter was
Ps. 460.3 million, with a margin of 9.2%, lower than Ps. 698.5 million reached
in the same period of 2007.
Taxes
Taxes recognized by the Company during the second quarter were
Ps. 54.2 million.
Net Income
Net income for second quarter 2008 was Ps. 194.4 million, or Ps. 0.32 per
share (US$0.38 per ADS), compared to net income of Ps. 479.2 million, or
Ps. 0.80 per share (US$0.93 per ADS) reported in the same 2007 period.
RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Chicken
Chicken sales rose 1.3% during 2Q08 as a result of 1.4% increase in price
while volume sold remained at the same level of 2Q07. At the beginning of the
quarter, chicken prices remained at a good level, but the situation changed
towards the end of the quarter, as chicken prices dropped lower than expected.
Table Eggs
During this quarter, sales of table eggs were stronger, increasing by
15.9% from the same quarter last year, as a result of 23.8% increase in egg
prices, due partially to a better balance in the market supply, as well as a
better product mix of the company's products, with both issues contributing to
partially offsetting a 6.4% decrease in volume.
Balanced Feed
Sales of Balanced Feed declined 7.2% when compared with 2Q07, despite a
16.9% price increase. Volume of balance feed sold dropped 20.7%, as a result
of the large period of higher costs in our main raw material.
Swine
Sales of swine increased 61.4.0% from the previous year; the strong
increase stems from a 23.8% volume gain and a 30.4% increase in swine prices,
as the Mexican market's swine oversupply softened.
Other Lines
Sales of other lines rose 21.1% during 2Q08, mainly as a result of
increases in sales of turkey and other lines.
FIRST HALF OF 2008
Net Sales
Net sales for the first half of 2008 amounted to Ps. 9,730.8 million, 9.2%
above Ps. 8,913.0 million reported in 1H07. The increase was mainly driven by
the 8.1% increase in chicken sales, 20.8% in table eggs sales and 35.2% in
swine sales, which was partially offset by 0.6% decrease in sales of balanced
feed.
Net Sales 1H 2008(%) 1H 2007(%)
CHICKEN 77.0 77.8
EGGS 10.3 9.4
BALANCED FEED 7.6 8.3
SWINE 1.0 0.8
OTHER LINES 4.1 3.8
TOTAL COMPANY 100.0 100.0
Operating Results
Bachoco's gross margin for the first half was 17.7%, lower than 21.0% in
1H07. The decrease is directly attributed to the standing increases in raw
materials costs. The Company's operating profit was Ps. 556.0 million, lower
than Ps. 786.8 million reached in 1H07. EBITDA was Ps. 853.7 million; lower
than Ps. 1,066.4 million in the same period of 2007. EBITDA margin was 8.8%.
Taxes
Taxes recognized by the Company during the first half of the year were Ps.
117.3 million.
Net Income
Net income for first half of the year was Ps. 425.2 million, or Ps. 0.71
per share (US$0.83 per ADS), compared to net income of Ps. 728.0 million, or
Ps. 1.21 per share (US$1.41 per ADS) reported in the same 2007 period.

The Company's financial structure remained healthy. Liquidity is solid
with cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 2,878.8 million as of June 30, 2008.
Total debt outstanding was Ps. 72.7 million as of June 30, 2008.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
As of January 1, 2008, the Company has adopted the changes to
"Inflationary Effects" in accordance with the Mexican Accounting Principles.
Due to the relatively low inflation that the country has consistently achieved
during the past several years, a new accounting principle went into effect on
January 1, 2008, which eliminates the recognition of inflationary effects in
its financial information. Consequently, financial information corresponding
to the year 2007 is expressed in millions of Mexican pesos with purchasing
power as of December 31, 2007, while the financial information for the year
2008 is stated in current or nominal Mexican pesos.
