(1)             Bunge has significant operating subsidiaries in Brazil, Argentina and Europe. The functional currency of Bunge’s subsidiaries is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars from local currency at month-end exchange rates, and the resulting foreign exchange translation gains (losses) are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
