NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Bunge Limited and its subsidiaries (Bunge) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, forming part of Bunge’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K included in Bunge’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 4, 2009.

Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation, relating to Bunge’s adoption of a Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued standard, which established accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2009, the FASB issued its Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162), which became the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities law are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC became effective for the financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC will become nonauthoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements (SFAS’s) FASB Staff Positions (FSP’s) or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts (EITF’s), but rather it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU’s). FASB will not consider the ASU’s as authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the ASC, provide background information about guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the changes in the ASC. Bunge has adopted the ASC effective for its September 30, 2009 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and has revised the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP source references in its financial reporting upon such adoption.

Bunge adopted the provisions of a FASB issued standard prospectively for its quarter ended June 30, 2009, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued (for public companies) or are available to be issued. This standard defines two types of subsequent events, recognized or nonrecognized, and requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date (i.e., the date the financial statements were issued or available to be issued). This standard is effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. See Note 17 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In April 2009, the FASB issued a standard that provides additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability within the scope of previously issued guidance This standard also provides additional guidance on circumstances which may indicate that a transaction is not orderly (emphasizing that an orderly transaction is not a forced transaction, such as a liquidation or distressed sale). This standard amends previously issued guidance to require interim disclosures of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value reflecting changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, on an interim basis applicable to items measured on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. This standard is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Bunge’s adoption of this standard prospectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a standard that extends the requirements of previously issued guidance to interim financial statements of publicly-traded companies. Prior to this standard, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. This standard requires that disclosures provide qualitative and quantitative information on fair value estimates for all financial instruments, when practicable, with the exception of certain financial instruments listed in the previously issued guidance. This standard is effective prospectively for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Bunge adopted this standard prospectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. See Notes 7 and 8 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a standard that provides guidance on the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. It also expands and increases the frequency of disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments in both debt and equity securities within the scope of previously issued guidance. This standard is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Bunge’s adoption of this standard prospectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued a standard which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously issued guidance. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Bunge’s adoption of this standard in January 2009 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued a standard that amends previously issued guidance by requiring expanded disclosures about a company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, including increased qualitative, quantitative, and credit-risk disclosures, but does not change the scope or accounting of previously issued guidance. This standard also amends previously issued guidance to clarify that derivative instruments are subject to the concentration-of-credit-risk disclosures. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2009, Bunge adopted the provisions of this standard. See Note 7 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a standard that seeks to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This standard generally requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. It also requires an acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. In addition, this standard requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments made during the measurement period to the acquired assets and liabilities as if they had occurred on the acquisition date and revise prior period financial statements in subsequent filings for changes. This standard further requires that all acquisition related costs be expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized as part of the purchase price, and that the restructuring costs that an acquirer expected but was not obligated to incur be expensed separately from the business combination. This standard applies prospectively to business combinations with

Table of Contents

an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Bunge’s adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 prospectively did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS No. 167), which has not yet been codified in the ASC. SFAS No. 167 amends the consolidation guidance that applies to all variable interest entities (VIEs) within the scope of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) with focus on structured finance entities, as well as qualifying special-purpose entities currently outside the scope of FIN 46(R). SFAS No. 167 requires an enterprise to 1) determine whether an entity is a VIE, 2) whether the enterprise has controlling financial interest/is a primary beneficiary in a VIE, and 3) provide enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in VIEs. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. Bunge is evaluating the impact SFAS No. 167 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS No. 166), which has not yet been codified in the ASC. SFAS No. 166 amends the de-recognition guidance in SFAS 140 and addresses improvements in accounting and disclosures required by SFAS No. 140. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 166 are required to be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of SFAS No. 166. SFAS No. 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. Bunge is evaluating the impact SFAS No. 166 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. INVENTORIES

Other	790		720
Total	$	3,893	$	3,901

(1) Prepaid commodity purchase contracts represent advance payments for obligations to producers for future delivery of specified quantities of agricultural commodities. Prepaid commodity purchase contracts are recorded at fair value based on market prices of the underlying agricultural commodities.

(2) Bunge provides cash advances to suppliers, primarily Brazilian farmers of soybeans and other agricultural commodities, to finance a portion of the suppliers’ production costs. These advances are strictly financial in nature. While Bunge is exposed to credit risk in connection with these advances, Bunge does not bear any of the costs or risks associated with the related growing crops. The advances are largely collateralized by future crops and physical assets of the suppliers, carry a local market interest rate and settle when the farmer’s crop is harvested and sold. In addition to current secured advances, Bunge has non-current secured advances to suppliers, primarily farmers in Brazil, in the amount of $270 million and $253 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which are included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The repayment terms of the non-current secured advances generally range from two to three years. Included in the secured advances to suppliers recorded in other current assets are advances that were renegotiated from their original terms, equal to an aggregate of $44 million and $46 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Included in the secured advances to suppliers recorded in other non-current assets are advances that were renegotiated from their original terms, equal to an aggregate of $16 million and $33 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These renegotiated advances are largely collateralized by a farmer’s future crops and a mortgage or lien on the land, buildings and equipment.

Also included in non-current secured advances to suppliers are advances for which Bunge has initiated legal action to collect the outstanding balance, equal to an aggregate of $235 million and $182 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The aggregate allowance for uncollectible advances totaled $60 million and $37 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Interest earned on secured advances to suppliers of $7 million and $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $32 million and $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, is included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

(3) Bunge has an additional recoverable taxes balance of $880 million and $266 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which is included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated

balance sheets. The balance of current and non-current recoverable taxes is net of the allowance for recoverable taxes of $132 million and $104 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

(4) Margin deposits include U.S. treasury securities at fair value and cash.

5. GOODWILL

At September 30, 2009, the changes in the carrying value of goodwill by segment are as follows:

(US$ in millions)	Agribusiness			Edible Oil Products		Milling Products			Total
Balance, December 31, 2008	$	269		$	37	$	19		$	325
Acquired goodwill	3			—		—			3
Allocation of acquired goodwill (1)	(12		)	—		(14		)	(26		)
Tax benefit on goodwill amortization (2)	(4		)	—		—			(4		)
Foreign exchange translation	74			1		4			79
Balance, September 30, 2009	$	330		$	38	$	9		$	377

(1) Bunge completed the purchase price allocation relating to the 2008 acquisition of a sugarcane milling business in Brazil, which it consolidates, for a total purchase price of $54 million. Bunge had preliminarily recognized $28 million of goodwill in its agribusiness segment as a result of this transaction. Upon the final 2009 valuation of the purchase price allocation, $12 million was allocated to property, plant and equipment, $6 million was allocated to intangible assets and $(6) million was allocated to deferred tax liabilities in its agribusiness segment.

Bunge also completed the purchase price allocation relating to the 2008 acquisition of a wheat milling business in Brazil, which it consolidates, for a total purchase price of $17 million. Bunge had preliminarily recognized $14 million of goodwill in its milling products segment as a result of this transaction. Upon the final 2009 valuation of the purchase price allocation, $2 million was allocated to property, plant and equipment, $19 million was allocated to intangible assets and $(7) million was allocated to deferred tax liabilities in its milling products segment.

(2) Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiary’s tax deductible goodwill is in excess of its book goodwill. For financial reporting purposes, the tax benefits attributable to the excess tax goodwill are first used to reduce associated goodwill and then other intangible assets to zero, prior to recognizing any income tax benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Bunge’s various financial instruments include certain components of working capital such as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Additionally, Bunge uses short- and long-term debt to fund operating requirements and derivative instruments to manage its foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity price, freight and energy cost exposures. Bunge also uses derivative instruments to reduce volatility in its income tax expense that results from foreign exchange gains and losses on certain U.S. dollar-denominated loans in Brazil. Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable and short-term debt are stated at their carrying value, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For long-term debt, see Note 8 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. All derivative instruments and marketable securities are stated at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in Bunge’s principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Bunge determines the fair values of its readily marketable inventories, derivative contracts, and certain other assets based on the fair value hierarchy established in a FASB issued standard, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are inputs that are developed based on the best information available in circumstances that reflect Bunge’s own assumptions based on market data and on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The standard describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include exchange traded derivative contracts.

Level 2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices (adjusted); quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include readily marketable inventories and over-the-counter (OTC) commodity purchase and sales contracts and other OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, Bunge gives consideration to items that individually, or when aggregated with other inputs, generally represent more than 10% of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. For such identified inputs, judgments are required when evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification and disclosure. Level 3 assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table sets forth by level Bunge’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Bunge’s exchange traded agricultural commodity futures are predominantly settled daily generally through its clearing subsidiary and therefore such futures are not included in the table below. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement. The lowest level of input is considered Level 3. Bunge’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.

(2) Significant other observable inputs

(3) Significant unobservable inputs

(4) Unrealized gains on designated and undesignated derivative contracts are generally included in other current assets. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $7 million and $12 million, respectively, of designated and undesignated derivative contracts are included in other non-current assets.

(5) Other assets include primarily the fair values of U.S. treasury securities held as margin deposits.

(6) Unrealized losses on designated and undesignated derivative contracts are generally included in other current liabilities. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $46 million and $3 million, respectively, of designated and undesignated derivative contracts are included in other non-current liabilities.

Bunge has determined that there are no credit risk-related contingent features and nonrecurring non-financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2009.

Derivatives—Exchange traded futures and options contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. Bunge’s forward commodity purchase and sale contracts are classified as derivatives along with other OTC derivative instruments relating primarily to freight, energy, foreign exchange and interest rates. Bunge estimates fair values based on exchange quoted prices, adjusted as appropriate for differences in local markets. These differences are generally valued using inputs from broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets. In such cases, these derivative contracts are classified within Level 2. Changes in the fair values of these contracts are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of cost of goods sold, foreign exchange gain or loss, other income (expense) - net or other comprehensive income (loss).

Table of Contents

OTC derivative contracts include swaps, options and structured transactions that are valued at fair value and may be offset with similar positions in exchange traded markets. The fair values of OTC derivative instruments are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets which are not highly active, other observable inputs relevant to the asset or liability, and market inputs corroborated by correlation or other means. These valuation models include inputs such as interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. Certain OTC derivatives trade in less active markets with less availability of pricing information and certain structured transactions can require internally developed model inputs that might not be observable in or corroborated by the market. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized in Level 3.

Readily marketable inventories—Bunge’s readily marketable commodity inventories are valued at fair value. These commodities are readily marketable, have quoted market prices and may be sold without significant additional processing. Bunge determines fair value based on quoted prices on exchange traded futures contracts with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where Bunge’s inventories are located. Changes in the fair values of these inventories are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income as a component of cost of goods sold.

Readily marketable inventories are valued based on the fair values of the commodities, including exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets. In such cases, the inventory is classified within Level 2. Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value. In such cases, the inventory is classified as Level 3.

If Bunge used different methods or factors to determine fair values, amounts reported as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and readily marketable inventories in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income would differ. Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to the reporting date, amounts reported in future periods as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and readily marketable inventories in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income would differ.

Level 3 Valuation—Bunge’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, Bunge gives consideration to items that individually, or when aggregated with other inputs, represent more than 10% of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. For such identified inputs, judgments are required when evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification and disclosure. Because of differences in the availability of market prices and market liquidity over their terms, inputs for some assets and liabilities may fall into any one of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy or some combination thereof. While a FASB standard requires Bunge to classify these assets and liabilities in the lowest level in the hierarchy for which inputs are significant to the fair value measurement, a portion of that measurement may be determined using inputs from a higher level in the hierarchy.

Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 represent existing assets or liabilities that were either previously categorized as a higher level for which the inputs to the model became unobservable or assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the lowest significant input became observable during the period.

Level 3 Derivatives—The fair values of Level 3 derivative instruments are estimated using pricing information from less active markets. Level 3 derivative instruments utilize both market observable and unobservable inputs within the fair value measurements. These inputs include commodity prices, price volatility factors, interest rates, volumes and locations. In addition, with the exception of the exchange traded instruments where Bunge clears trades through the exchange, Bunge is exposed to loss in the event of the non-performance by counterparties on OTC derivative instruments and forward purchase and sale contracts. Adjustments

Table of Contents

are made to fair values on occasions when non-performance risk is determined to represent a significant input in our fair value determination. These adjustments are based on Bunge’s estimate of the potential loss in the event of counterparty non-performance.

Level 3 Readily marketable inventories—Readily marketable inventories are considered Level 3 when at least one significant assumption or input is unobservable. These assumptions or inputs include exchange quotes and certain management estimations regarding local markets.

The tables below present reconciliations for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Level 3 instruments presented in the tables include readily marketable inventories and derivatives. These instruments were valued using pricing models that, in management’s judgment, reflect the assumptions a marketplace participant would use at September 30, 2009 and 2008.
