4Q10 and 2010 Earnings Release
                   March, 3rd, 2011
Highlights in the Period

• A drop of 3.7 days in the Company's cash cycle when compared with 2009 (IFRS base), to 49.0 days. This is the
shortest cash cycle since 2006. This decrease resulted in a fall of about R$ 22.9 million in working capital;

• The operating cash flow was positive for the third consecutive year and amounted to R$ 44.4 million, or 1.7% of the
net operating revenue;

• The net debt stood at R$ 108.7 million in December 2010, a R$ 9.4 million decrease in relation to December 2009,
mainly due to the Company's positive operating cash generation, of about R$ 44.4 million;

• A rise of 3.0% in consolidated gross revenues year-over-year, totaling R$ 3.1 billion, highlighting the health and
beauty category, in which a sharp growth of 37.8% was recorded;

• Sales through electronic orders hit a record high and accounted for 65.3% of total sales in 2010;

• In October 2010, Profarma decided to terminate the market maker contract with Credit Suisse Brasil SA CTVM;
nevertheless, there was no drop in daily liquidity.
