adequate internal control over nancial reporting, as such term is
dened in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervi-
sion and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Ocer and Chief Financial Ocer, we conducted an
evaluation of the eectiveness of our internal control over nancial
reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our manage-
ment concluded that our internal control over nancial reporting
was eective as of December31, 2011.
The scope of management’s assessment of the eectiveness
of our internal control over nancial reporting included all of our
consolidated operations except for the operations of Wimm- Bill-
Dann Foods OJSC and its subsidiaries (WBD), which we acquired in
February 2011. WBD’s operations represented 9% of our consoli-
dated total assets and 4% of our consolidated net revenues as of
andfor the year ended December31, 2011.
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting rm,
has audited the consolidated nancial statements included in this
Annual Report and, as part of their audit, has issued their report,
included herein, on the eectiveness of our internal control over
nancial reporting.
During our fourth scal quarter of 2011, we continued migrating
certain of our nancial processing systems to an enterprise- wide
systems solution. These systems implementations are part of our
ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to
continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our
businesses over the course of the next few years. In connection with
these implementations and resulting business process changes, we
continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal
control over nancial reporting processes to maintain suitable con-
trols over our nancial reporting. Moreover, we are in the process
of integrating WBD into our overall internal control over nancial
reporting processes.
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal
control over nancial reporting during our fourth scal quarter of
2011 that have materially aected, or are reasonably likely to materi-
ally aect, our internal control over nancial reporting.
