    Management ReportThe year 2011 was marked by the beginning of the integration process of the Company with MD1,as well as the alignment around a strategy which seeks to balance growth and return forshareholders. Nine companies of the MD1 group, including Sergio Franco, CDPI, Multimagem andProecho were integrated into the company in a year in which we also worked on integratingCERPE, Cytolab and Previlab. We also adapted our strategy to enable faster growth throughinvestments in opening new units, changing imaging equipment, improving the quality in serviceunits and capturing the synergies from integrated companies.

    We implemented the unification of central structures for purchasing, logistics and TechnicalOperations Centers (NTO). We have not incorporated MD1 operating companies yet, due to theOperation Reversibility Preservation Agreement (APRO), signed on October 26, 2011 between theAdministrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and the Company. However, the agreementwith CADE allowed the incorporation of the company MD1 on November , 2011, which gave theCompany the use of a premium (future profitability) determined in the merger of shares from thiscompany.

    We aligned our organization with the establishment of consistent metrics, which allowed us to makeimportant decisions, such as: extracting efficiency gains from managing the portfolio of units andservices, reducing the cost of services provided through the consolidation of central laboratories(NTO), reviewing of the logistics network, management of glosses and credit portfolio, improvingrisk management. We experienced through the years an increase in costs and expenses directlylinked to the service improvement process, new equipment installation and the process of expanding

    our service network (pre-operating and start-up expenses), besides improving glosses monitoringprocess.

    We implemented the new model of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging (RDI) in the MEGA unitswith great success. It is meant by MEGA units those which provide in its portfolio a greater numberof tests, including MRI and/or CT. It is noteworthy that we have already seen improvement inservice usage level for Resonance and Tomography in these units.

    We moved from a partial growth-/margin-oriented vision to an integrated vision that considers theReturn on Invested Capital (ROIC). We are adopting a more focused vision on generating free cashflow to shareholders.

    Efforts with paying sources, aiming to establish ourselves in all segments as the best cost/benefitsolution to the market, were essential to reinforce our partnership bonds and promote diagnosis

    support services, more and more appreciated by patients and by the medical community. JoiningPremium segment meets these two objectives. We improved relation activities with the medicalcommunity because of MD1 integration. We will especially continue engaged and committed inachieving the goal of being the best solution for paying sources and physicians.

    The alignment of our employees in a single culture enables us to integrate all our brands andregional characteristics. The cultural link which unites us is made up of people who determine theiractions based on ethics and integrity, who are driven by a dream to be the best company in theworld in its segment; who think and act like owners; who are pride of our company and brands; whothe results drive our growth; who work with excellence; who take care of our customers and whowant the best people and lead by example. In addition, we also aligned the incentives: promoting a

  • 7/30/2019 IFRS 12.31.2011

    4/147

    4

    new model of variable compensation which encourages people to go beyond their goals, accordingto market realities.

    We have continuously been improving our processes to maintain our accreditation and certificationof national and international recognition. This year, we received more than one certification, ISOIEC 17025, adding to our portfolio which comprises certificates such as CAP College ofAmerican Pathologists, PALC Accreditation Program for Clinical Laboratories SBPC, DICQSBAC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ONA, in addition to technical skills acquired inhospitals where we work, related to the Joint Commission and Canadian Accreditationrequirements.

    By being aligned, we continued diversifying our risks in order to have a balance and sustainablemanagement. We continued diversifying our relationship with paying sources, promoting more and

    better business. We encouraged business growth such as the Support Market, Hospitals andServices to Governments; because we believe they are essential sources of increase in our medicaland institutional relationship and promote returns of scale.

    In July 2011, we entered into two major associations, Cytolab and Previlab, which opened doors tostate of So Paulo countryside, a large market in which we did not have significant presence. Nowwe march confidently in a fast and effective integration, providing significant tangible andintangible gains to the Company.

    Our results reproduce the strength of such alignment. Our EBITDA reached R$ 499.6 million,representing a growth of 29.8% compared to R$ 384.8 million in the same period last year and amargin of 22.9% (decrease of 3.8% p.p. compared to the previous year). If we consider theproforma vision, there was a decrease of 0.5% in EBITDA, and 2.8 p.p. compared to the EBITDA

    margin. When we exclude the effect of non-recurring expenses in 2011, totaling R$ 53.5 million,we reached an EBITDA of R$ 553.1 million, a margin of 25.4% on net revenue, 1.3 p.p. below themargin reported in 2010. Compared to the proforma, the recurring EBITDA margin was 2.8 p.p.below the margin reported in 2010. Net income reached R$ 145.5 million, which represents asignificant increase of 48.3% in relation to the previous year (R$ 98.0 million). Compared to 2010proforma, there was a decrease of 6.7%.

    The investments accounted for R$ 193.2 million, giving priority to the modernization of oursystems, infrastructure and medical equipment.

    These actions generated recognition. In 2011, we received the prize of best company in Healthcarefrom Valor Econmico Newspaper. We were awarded the prize "Turnoround of the year" by TMAPWC for our performance, and we were also recognized by Institutional Investor magazine.

    Last year, CDPI (MD1 group) was the clinical diagnostic imaging that most published scientificworks in the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the largest radiology event in theworld.

    Thus, with our purposes increasingly steadier, we look at 2012. We are challenged to ensure a newpace of organic growth, to develop new business segments in our operations, improve our services,to enhance our knowledge and technical quality, and strengthen the alignment of our people withthe DASA Culture.

    Comments on the healthcare industry and diagnostic medicine in BrazilSources: Agncia Nacional de Sade (ANS Brazilian National Health Agency), IBGE, OMS,PNAD

    Brief description

    Health services in general and diagnostics medicine in particular form, in Brazil, a market ofconsiderable size and constant growth. Seen in a wider concept of product and service consumption,

    the health market boasts even more vigorous figures.According to OMS, the total expenditure with health services represents 8.4% of the entire BrazilianGDP in 2008. Demographic and economic factors explain the evolution of the market. First of all,Brazilian population lives longer, thanks to the advances in medicine and the improvement of livingconditions, as shown in other IBGE studies. The life expectancy at birth has passed from 45.5 yearsin 1940, to 73.1 years in 2010. In 2050, according to official forecasts, it will be 81.3 years levelsimilar to Iceland, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. Besides that, the so-called active part of thepopulation grew, situated between 15 and 64 years, passing from 57.8% of the total in 1980 to 62.1%in 2009, is a factor that explains the higher consumption of diagnosis support auxiliary services,since this group is the largest consumer of goods and services.

    As a determinant for the higher demand for health services, the increased income also adds up afterthe economy stabilized in the middle of the 90s, and more recently the social rise of the poorerlayers of the population. Another fundamental data is the recent growth of the number of formaljobs, by means of which workers have access to health plans, great paying source of hospitals,doctors, and examinations. According to data from the IBGE Monthly Job Research, from 2002 to2011, the proportion of the working population grew from 49.5% to 54.0% of the entire populationof the country, and the average revenue increased 92%.

    Diagnostic medicine

    The diagnostics medicine market includes both clinical analysis examinations and image diagnostics.We estimate that there are approximately 16,000 laboratories acting in this segment in Brazil. Untilthe beginning of the 90s, clinical analysis examinations in Brazil were conducted by doctors in anon-standardized manner, in their offices or in small- or medium-sized laboratories.

    Since the middle of the 90s, the clinical analysis market has changed as a result of the acceleration oftechnological development and the implementation of new techniques and services able to processdiagnostic tests with high accuracy and efficiency, and in higher volumes.

    Private sector

    The number of health plan beneficiaries, those who more intensively use medicine services andproducts, according toAgncia Nacional de Sade(ANS) information, has reached 63.04 million inSeptember, 2011, presenting a growth of 61.1% in the period from 2004 to 2011. Still according tothe ANS, 62% of the 63.04 million of beneficiaries all over the country were linked to collectiveplans.

    The beneficiaries are still very concentrated in the south and southeast regions, where the economyis more developed, with a higher offer of formal jobs. Approximately 64.13% of the health planbeneficiaries live in the southeast region of the country, of which 61.3% live in the State of SoPaulo.

    Popular market

    Classes C and D are one of the main actuation segments of the Company, and these classes ingeneral do not have a health plan and pay in cash. With the revenue increase of the poorer layers ofthe population, allied to the lack of offer of diagnosis support auxiliary services at popular prices,this market has shown a large growth.

    Despite the increase of the purchasing power of the lower classes, according to ANS and IBGE data,in 2011 only 24.6% of the Brazilian population had access to health plans. Besides that, most of thepeople in the C and D classes do not have access to this service. As a consequence from this data,this layer of the population, which is the largest in the country, has little access to preventive healthcare and worse quality and expectancy of a healthy life.

    Public sector

    The health public sector in Brazil is managed by Sistema nico de Sade(SUS), created in 1988 andresponsible for the public health structure hospitals, clinics, research centers, and service centers.

    To supply the lack of service of the sector, private suppliers can integrate the SUS network by meansof contracts established by public bids. At this level, the payment is determined by the serviceprovided: clinical analysis, surgery, or treatment.

    In the last 10 years, as a consequence of the growth of demand of health services by the population,the Brazilian government had to invest in the expansion of the SUS network and start contractingprivate institutions to provide services that the SUS network does not offer.

    In an attempt to offer public health services at a lower cost and higher efficiency, the government hasincreased the number and types of third-party services provided by private companies. The Company

  • 7/30/2019 IFRS 12.31.2011

    acknowledged this tendency and invested strongly in this segment by means of its subsidiaryCientficaLab, which acts exclusively in this sector by means of bids.

    Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual financialstatements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and of the consolidatedfinancial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, and in accordance with theaccounting practices adopted in Brazil as well as for the internal controls that it deemed necessaryto enable the preparation of these financial statements free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error.

Thosestandards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements and plan and perform the auditto obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

    An audit involves the performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts anddisclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, includingthe assessment of the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to theentitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing anopinion on the effectiveness of these entities internal controls.

    We believe that the audit evidences we have obtained are sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our audit opinion.

    Opinion on the individual financial statements

    In our opinion, the individual financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all materialrespects, the financial position of Diagnsticos da Amrica S.A. as of December 31, 2011, theperformance of its operations and its cash flows, for the year then ended, in accordance with theaccounting practices adopted in Brazil.

    Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

    Emphasis

    As described in the note 4, the individual financial statements were prepared in accordance with

    accounting practices adopted in Brazil. In the case of Company, these practices differ from IFRS, asfar as the individual financial statements are concerned, only as regards the valuation of investmentsin subsidiaries under the equity method, as, for IFRS purposes, they would be valued at cost or fairvalue. Our opinion is not qualified related to this issue.

    Other issues

    Statements of added value

    We have also audited the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the yearended December 31, 2011, whose presentation is required by Brazilian Corporate Law for publicly-held companies and as supplementary information under IFRS, as these standards do not require the

    presentation of a statement of value added. These statements were submitted to the same auditprocedures previously described and, in our opinion, these supplementary statements are adequatelypresented, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

    b) Agreement on Preservation of Reversibility of Operation (APRO)

    On October 26, 2011, the Company executed with the Administrative Council for EconomicDefense (CADE) an Agreement on Preservation of Reversibility of Operation (APRO), in theprocess of Concentration Act.

    APRO has the objective of preventing, up to the Concentration Act trials of merit and in relation tothe companies object of the Operation, the following: (a) Laboratrios Mdicos Dr. Srgio FrancoLtda., (ii) Pro Echo Servios Mdicos Ltda, (iii) CDPI Clnica de Diagnstico por Imagem Ltda.,

The execution of the APRO does not imply CADE to be bond as for the analysisof the merit or any anticipation related to the result of the Concentration Act sentence.

    Additionally, we inform that the APRO, as executed, does not bond the Company to revert the stepsfor the integration already taken until its execution.

    As foreseen in APRO, the Company has contracted an independent auditor to attest theaccomplishment of the Agreement. In the first report, issued on February 9, 2012 (they shall beissued twice a month), BDO RCS Auditores Independentes concluded that "all requirementsestablished in the Clauses of APRO related to the liabilities to be accomplished by theCompromisers".

    The Company, based on the legal report of its legal advisors, has concluded that, for the purpose ofaccomplishing the obligations of disclosing the ICVM480 information, DASA is not a relating partof the companies of Amil Group, as those companies are not controlled by or controllers of DASA,neither are they under common, direct or indirect control, nor do their controllers exercisesignificant influence over DASA.

    accomplishment of APRO executed with CADE, has defined that any contract between companiesof DASA group and companies of Amil group must be previously submitted to the approval of the

    Auditing Committee.On March 5 2012, the Economic Supervision Office of the Ministry of Finance (SEAE) issuedtechnical report number 06145/2012/RJ related to the concentration act between the companiesDiagnsticos da Amrica S/A and MD1 Diagnsticos S/A simply as an opinion, recommending theapproval of the Operation with the restrictions presented in the technical report. The issuing of thisreport does not imply any bond to CADE as for the merit analysis or any anticipation of the trialresult on this association. The report presented by SEAE was not a surprise to the Company and,inclusively, it is in line with the communication previously sent to the market through the Notice tothe Market disclosed on 07/27/2011, that is, SEAE conclusions are apparently backed on premisesbased on partial data related to interpretations about corporate relations among DASA, individualshareholders bound to JHSPE Empreendimentos and its subsidiaries, Amil Participaes S.A and itssubsidiaries and FMG Empreendimentos Hospitalares.

    The technical report is available in the internet site:http://www.fazenda.gov.br/littera/pdf/08012010038201043.pdf

    The Operation is still undergoing examination from the antitrust authorities and the Company is stillactively cooperating to the positive conclusion of the analysis.

    recorded in the acquisition date, that is, in the date the control is transferred to the Group,using the acquisition method. Control means the power to rule the financial and operationalpolicies of the company in order to obtain benefits from its activities. The Company measuresthe goodwill on the acquisition date as:

    The value of the transferred compensation; minus The net amount (usually the fair value) of the acquired identified assets and the liabilities.The payable contingent compensation is measured by its fair value on the acquisition date. Ifthe contingent compensation is classified as proprietary instrument, then it is not re-measuredand the liquidation is registered in the net worth. For the others, the subsequent alterations infair value are registered in the final result.

    As part of the transition to IFRS and CPC, the Company opted for not presenting again thebusiness combinations held before January 1st,2009. As for the acquisitions before January1st 2009, the premium represents the amount booked under the accounting practicespreviously adopted. This premium was tested for reduction of its value recovered in thetransition date.
