CCU - Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas  S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F - 2

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company estimates that the adoption of the aforedescribed Standards, Amendments and Interpretations will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the group at their initial application.

2.2Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are the entities over which the Company is empowered to direct financial and operational policies, which is generally the result of ownership of over half the voting rights. Subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date on which the control was transferred to the Company, and they are excluded from consolidation as of the date of termination of such control.

The acquisition method is used for the accounting of acquisition of subsidiaries. The acquisition cost is the fair value of the assets delivered, of the equity instruments issued and of the liabilities incurred or assumed as of the exchange date. The identifiable assets acquired, as well as the identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are initially valued at their fair value on the acquisition date, independently from the scope of minority interests.Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains from transactions between the Group’s entities are eliminated during consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Whenever necessary to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company, the subsidiaries’ accounting policies are amended.

F - 17

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

Non-controlling Interest

The non-controlling interest is presented in the Equity section of the Statement of Financial Position. The net income attributable to equity holder of the parent and the non-controlling interest are each disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income after net income.

Investments accounted by the equity method

Joint ventures and associates

The company maintains investments in joint venture and they correspond to a contractual agreement by which two or more parties carry out an economic activity that is subject to a joint control, and normally involves the establishment of a separate entity in which each party has a share, based on a shareholders’ agreement. In addition the Company maintains investments in associates which are defined as those entities that investor has no significant influence and is not a subsidiary or is a joint venture.

The Company accounts for its participation in joint ventures and associates using the equity method. The financial statements of the joint ventures and associates, in which the Company participates, are prepared for the same year, using accounting policies consistent with those of the Company. Adjustments are made to conform any different accounting policies that may exist.

Whenever the Company contributes or sells assets to the companies under joint control or associate, any part of the income or loss originated by the transaction is recognized based on how the asset is realized. Whenever the Company purchases assets of such companies, it does not recognize its share in the income or loss of the joint venture or associate as regards to such transaction until the asset is sold or realized.

2.3Financial information as per operating segments

The Company’s operating segments are formed by the assets and resources intended to supply products that are subject to risks and benefits different from those of other operating segments, and that normally correspond to subsidiaries that develop such business activities and which EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) are regularly reviewed by its respective the Board of Directors of the respective subsidiaries and by the Board of Directors, in order to make decisions on the resources to be allotted to the segments and to appraise their performance(See Note 7).

The segments performance is appraised according to several indicators, of which EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA margin (EBITDA’s % as compared to total income), the volume and Sales Income are the most important. Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length and the net sales information as per geographical location is based on the producing and selling entity location.

2.4Foreign currency and unidad de fomento (Adjustable unit)

Presentation and functional currency

The Company uses the Chilean peso ($ or CLP) as its functional currency and for the presentation of its financial statements. The functional currency has been determined considering the economic environment in which the Company carries out its operations and the currency in which the main cash flows are generated. The functional currency of the Argentine subsidiaries is the Argentine peso.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currency and adjustable units (“Unidad de Fomento” or “UF”) are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustable unit as of the date on which the transaction occurs. The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit. The UF rate is set daily in advance based on changes in the previous month’s inflation rate. At the close of each Balance Sheet the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and adjustable units are translated into Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustable unit. The exchange difference arising, both from the liquidation of foreign currency transactions, as well as from the valuation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities, is included in statement of income, in the Exchange Rate Difference caption, while the difference arising from the changes in adjustable units are recorded in the statement of income as per Adjusment Units.

F - 18

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the Chilean peso are translated into Chilean pesos by using the exchange rates valid as of the date of the financial statements, and the exchange differences originated by the translation of the assets and liabilities are recorded in Equity Reserve, under the Currency Translation Reserves item. The income and expense are translated at the monthly average exchange rate for the corresponding terms, since there have not been significant fluctuations in the exchange rate during each month.

The exchange rates of the main foreign currencies and adjustment units used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

2.5Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash available, bank balances, time deposits at financial entities, investments in mutual funds and financial instruments acquired under re-sale agreements, as well as short-term investments with a high liquidity, normally with an original maturity of up to three months.

2.6Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Company recognizes a financial asset in its consolidated statement of financial position according to the following:

As of the date of the initial recognition, Management classifies its financial assets (i) at fair value through profit and loss and (ii) collectible credits and accounts, depending on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. For those instruments not classified at fair value through income, any cost attributable to the transaction is recognized as part of the asset value.

The fair value of the instruments that are actively quoted in formal markets is determined by the quoted price as of the financial statement closing date. For those investments without an active market the fair value is determined using valuation techniques, among them (i) the use of recent market transactions, (ii) references to the current market value of another financial instrument of similar characteristics, (iii) discounted cash flow, and (iv) other valuation models.

After the initial recognition, the Company values the financial assets as described below:

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

These assets are valued at fair value and the income or losses originated by the fair value variation are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

F - 19

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

The assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets classified as held for trading by the Company. Financial assets are classified as held for trading when acquired with the purpose of selling them within a short term. Derivative instruments are classified as held for trading unless they are classified as hedge instruments.

Accounts receivable

The accounts receivables correspond to financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not traded in an active market. The trade receivable credits or accounts are recognized according to the invoice value.

The estimated losses from bad debts are determined by applying differentiated percentages, taking into account maturity factors, until reaching a 100% of the balance in most of the debts older than 180 days, with the exception of those cases that in accordance with current policies, losses are estimated due to partial deterioration based on a case by case analysis.

The current trade receivable credits and accounts are initially recognized at their nominal value and are not discounted because they do not differ significantly from its fair value. The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is not materiality different from the invoiced amount, because the transaction does not have significant associated costs.

Financial liabilities

The Company recognizes a financial liability in its consolidated statement of financial position according to the following:

Debts and financial liabilities that accrue interests

Loans and financial obligations accruing interest are initially recognized at the fair value of the resources obtained, less costs incurred directly attributable to the transaction. After initial recognition, loans and obligations accruing interest are valued at their amortized cost. The difference between the net amount received and the value to be paid is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the term of the loan, using the effective interest rate method.

Interest paid and accrued related to debts and obligations used in the financing of its operations appear under financial expense.

Loans and obligations accruing interest with a maturity within the next twelve month period are classified as current liabilities, unless the Company has the unconditional right to defer the payment of the obligation for at least a twelve month period after the financial statement closing date.

Trade accounts payable and other payables

Accounts payable and other accounts payable are initially recognized at their nominal value, because they do not differ significantly from fair value. The Company has determined that no significant difference exist from not calculating amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Derivative Instruments

All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized as of the date of the agreement, and then revalued at their fair value as of the date of the financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from the fair value measurement are recorded in the Statement of Income as gain or losses due to fair value of financial instruments, unless the derivative instrument qualifies, is designated and be effective as a hedging instrument.

In order to classify a derivative as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes, the Company documents (i) as of the transaction date or at designation time, the relationship or correlation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management purposes and strategies, (ii) the assessment, both at designation date as well as on a continuing basis, whether the instrument used is effective to offset changes in fair value or in the cash flow of the hedged item. A hedge is considered effective when changes in the fair value or in the cash flow of the underlying directly attributable to the risk hedged are offset with the changes in fair value, or in the cash flow of the hedging instrument with effectiveness between 80% to 125%.

Derivative instruments classified as hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

F - 20

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

The total fair value hedging derivatives are classified as assets or financial liabilities in Other non-current if the maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as other assets or current liabilities if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. The effect on results of these instruments can be viewed in Other gains (losses) of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is initially recognized in Cash Flow Hedge Reserve, in a separate component of Equity. The income or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the statement of income. The amounts accumulated in Equity are reclassified in Income during the same period in which the corresponding hedged item is reflected in the Statement of Income. When a cash flow hedge ceases to comply with the hedge accounting criteria, any accumulated income or loss existing in Equity remains in Equity and is recognized when the expected transaction is finally recognized in the Statement of Income. When it is estimated that an expected transaction will not occur, the accumulated gain or loss recorded in Equity is immediately recognized in the Statement of Income.

2.7 Financial asset impairment

At each financial statement date the Company assesses if a financial asset or financial group of assets is impaired.

The Company assesses impairment of accounts receivable collectively, grouping the financial assets according to similar risk characteristics, which indicate the debtor’s capacity to comply with their obligations under the conditions agreed upon. When there is objective evidence that a loss due to impairment has been incurred in the accounts receivable, the loss amount is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, under the Administration Expense item.

In the event that during subsequent periods the impairment loss amount decreases and such decrease may be objectively related to an event occurring after impairment recognition, the impairment loss previously recognized is reversed.

Any subsequent impairment reversal is recognized in Income provided that the book value of the asset does not exceed its value as of the date the impairment was recognized.

2.8Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (acquisition or production cost) and net realizable value. The production cost of finished products and of products under processing includes raw material, direct labor, indirect manufacturing expenses based on a normal operational capacity and other costs incurred to place the products at the locations and in the conditions necessary for sale, net of discounts attributable to inventories.

The net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the normal course of business, less marketing and distribution expenses. When market conditions cause the production cost to be higher than its net realizable value, an allowance for asset’s deterioration is registered for the difference in value. This allowance for asset’s deterioration also includes amounts related to obsolete items due to a low turnover, technical obsolescence and products withdrawn from the market.

The inventories and cost of products sold is determined using the FIFO (First in First Out) method. The Company estimates that most of the inventories have a turnover of less than a year.

The materials and raw materials purchased from third parties are valued at their acquisition cost; once used, they are incorporated in finished products using the FIFO methodology.

Costs associated with agricultural activities (winery) are deferred up to the harvest date, at which such time they become part of inventory cost for subsequent processes.

2.9Other non-financial assets

Other non-financial assets mainly include disbursements related to commercial advertising preparation that is in process but has not yet been shown, advances to property, plant and equipment suppliers and current and non-current advertising agreements.

F - 21

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

2.10Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at their historic cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes both the disbursements directly attributable to the asset acquisition or construction, as well as the financing interest directly related to certain qualified assets, which are capitalized during the construction or acquisition period, as long as these assets qualify for these purposes considering the period necessary to complete and prepare the assets to be operative. Disbursements after the purchase or acquisition are only capitalized when it is likely that the future economic benefits associated to the investment flow towards the Company, and costs may be reasonably measured. Subsequent disbursements related to repairs and maintenance are recorded as expense when incurred.

Property, plant and equipment depreciation, including the assets under financial lease, is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the fixed assets, taking into account their estimated residual value. When an asset is formed by significant components with different useful lives, each part is separately depreciated. The Property, plant and equipment useful lives and residual values estimates are reviewed and adjusted at each financial statement closing date, if necessary.

Property, plant and equipment estimated useful lives are as follows:

Type of Assets	Number of years
Land	Indefinite
Buildings and Construction	20 to 60
Machinery and equipment	10 to 25
Furniture and accesories	5 to 10
Other equipment (coolers and mayolicas)	5 to 8
Bottles and containers	3 to 12

Gain and losses resulting from the sale of properties, plants and equipment, are calculated comparing their book values against the related sales proceeds and are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

When the book value of an item of Property, plant and equipment exceeds its recoverable amount, it is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount (See Note 2.16).

2.11Leases

Lease agreements are classified as financial leases when the agreement transfers to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits inherent to the asset ownership, according to International Accounting Standard No. 17 “Leases”. For those agreements that qualify as financial leases, at the initial date an asset and a liability are recognized at a value equivalent to the lower between the fair value the asset and the present value of future lease payments. Later, lease payments are allocated between the financial expense and the obligation reduction, so that a constant interest rate on the obligation balance is obtained.

Lease agreements that do not qualify as financial leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments of operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.

2.12 Investment property

Investment property consists of land held by the Company with the purpose of generating appreciation, and not to be used in the normal course of business, and it is recorded at historic cost less impairment loss, if any. Investment property depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of such property, taking into account their estimated residual value of such property.

2.13 Biological assets

Biological assets held by Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (VSPT or the Company) and its subsidiaries consist in vines under formation and under production. The harvested grapes are used for the later production of wines.

Vines under production are valued at the historic cost, less depreciation and any impairment loss. Agricultural production (grapes) resulting from the vines under production is valued at its cost value when harvested.

Depreciation of under production vines is recorded on a straight-line basis, and it is based on the 25-years estimated production useful life, which is periodically assessed. Vines under formation are not depreciated until they start production.

Costs incurred in acquiring and planting new vines are capitalized.

The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, on that basis management considers that it represents a reasonable approximation of fair value.

2.14Intangible assets other than goodwill

Commercial Trademarks

The Company’s commercial trademarks correspond to intangible assets with an indefinite useful life that are presented at their historic cost, less any impairment loss. The Company believes that through marketing investments trademarks maintain their value, consequently they are considered as having an indefinite useful life and they are not amortizable. Such assets are subject to impairment tests on a yearly basis, or when factors exist indicating a likely loss of value(Note 2.16).

Software Programs

Software Programs licenses acquired are capitalized at the value of the costs incurred for their acquisition and preparation for the use of the specific programs. Such costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (4 to 7 years). The maintenance costs of the software programs are recognized as expense of the year during which they are incurred.

Research and development

The research and development expense is recognized as an expense in the period incurred.

Water Rights

The Water Rights acquired by the Company correspond to the existing exploitation rights of water from natural sources, and they were recorded at their attributed cost as of the transition date. Given that such rights are perpetual they are not amortizable, nevertheless they are annually subject to impairment assessment, or when factors exist that indicate a likely loss of value.

2.15Goodwill  

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of a business combination over the Company’s share in the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as of the acquisition date, and it is accounted for at its cost value less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill related to joint venture acquisitions is included in the investment accounting value.

For the purposes of impairment tests, goodwill is assigned to the Cash Generating Units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of a business combination. Each unit or group of units (CGU -See Note 21) represents the lowest level inside the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal administration purposes, which is not larger than a business segment. The cash generating units to which the goodwill is assigned are tested for impairment annually or with a higher frequency, when there are signs indicating that a cash generating unit could experience impairment, or some of the significant market conditions have changed.

Goodwill in the acquisition of joint ventures is assessed for impairment as part of the investment, provided that there are signs indicating that the investment may be impaired.

F - 23

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the book value of the cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable value, the recoverable value being the highest between the fair value of the cash generating unit, less costs to sell and its value in use.

An impairment loss is first assigned in goodwill to reduce its book value, and then to other assets in the cash generating unit. A recognized impairment loss is not reversed in the following years.

2.16Impairment of non-current assets other different than goodwill

The Company annually assesses the existence of impairment indicators on non-current assets. When indicators exist, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the impaired asset. In case it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the impaired asset at an individual level, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount is defined as the highest between the fair value, less cost to sell and the value in use. The use value is determined by estimating future cash flows associated with the asset or with the cash generating unit, discounted from its current value by using interest rates before taxes, which reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. In the event the asset book value exceeds its recoverable amount, the Company records an impairment loss in the Statement of Income.

The Company annually assesses if impairment indicators of non-current assets for which impairment losses were recorded during prior years have disappeared or decreased. In the event of such a situation, the recoverable amount of the specific asset is recalculated and its book value increased, if necessary. Such increase is recognized in the Statement of Income as reversal of impairment losses. The increase in the value of the previously impaired asset is recognized only when it is originated by changes in the assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount. The asset amount increase resulting from the reversal of the impairment loss is limited to the amount that would have been recorded had impairment not occurred.

2.17Assets of a disposal group held for sale

Property, plant and equipment expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, for which active sale negotiations have begun and it is estimated that they will be sold within twelve months following the closing date are classified as assets of a disposal group held for sale.

These assets are measured at the lower of their book value and the estimated fair value, less costs to sell. From the moment in which the assets are classified as assets of a disposal group held for sale they are no longer depreciated.

2.18Income tax and deferred taxes

Income tax is composed by the legal obligations and the deferred taxes recognized according to International Accounting Standard Nº 12 – Income Taxes. Income tax is recognized in the Statement of Income, except when it is related to entries directly recorded in Equity, in which case the tax effect is also recognized in Equity.

Income Tax Obligation

Income tax obligations are recognized in the financial statements on the basis of the best estimates of the taxable profits as of the financial statement closing date, and the income tax rate valid as of that date in the countries where the Company operates, which are Chile and Argentina.

Deferred Tax

Deferred taxes are those the Company expects to pay or to recover in the future, due to temporary differences between the book value of assets and liabilities (carrying amount for financial reporting purposes) and the corresponding tax basis of such assets and liabilities used to determine the profits subject to taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are generally recognized for all temporary differences, and they are calculated at the rates that will be valid on the date the liabilities are paid or the assets realized.

Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except in those cases where the Company is able to control the date on which temporary differences will be reversed, and it is likelythat they will not be reverted in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets, including those originated by tax losses are recognized provided it is likely that in the future there are taxable profits against which deductible temporary differences may be charged, as well as unused tax losses.

F - 24

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there exists a legal right to offset tax assets against tax liabilities, and the deferred tax is related to the same taxable entity and the same taxing authority.

2.19Employees benefits

Employees Vacation

The Company accrues the expense associated with staff vacation when the employee earns the benefit.

Employees Bonuses

The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses when it’s contractually obligated, it is estimated that, depending on the income requirement at a given date, bonus will be paid out at the end of the year.

Severance Indemnity

The Company recognizes a liability for the payment of irrevocable severance indemnities, originated by the collective and individual agreements entered into with employees. Such obligation is determined based on the actuarial value of the accrued cost of the benefit, a method which considers several factors in the calculation, such as estimates of future continuance, mortality rates, future salary increases and discount rates. The determined value is shown at its present value by using the accrued benefits for years of service method. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest rates curves. The current losses and gains originated by the valuation of the liabilities subject to such plans are directly recorded in Income.

2.20Provisions 

Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Company has a current obligation, legal or implicit, as a result of past events, (ii) it is probable that monetary resources will be required to settle the obligation and (iii) the amounts can be reasonably established. The amounts recognized as provisions as of financial statements closing date, are Management´s best estimates, and consider the necessary disbursements to liquidate the obligation.

The concepts by which the Company establishes provisions against Income correspond to civil, labor and taxation proceedings that could affect the Company. Additionally, the liability generated by the bottles and containers deposits is considered as a provision(Note 29).

2.21Provisions for returns of bottles and containers

In Chile, the provisions for returns of bottles and containers (glass and plastic returnable bottle and craters) delivered to sales channels for selling and distributing products is determined by means of the outstanding bottles and containers estimated to be returned to the Company, based on yearly physical counts and historic experience, valued at the weighted average of the prior year deposits, plus the value of the deposits placed during the current year as per each kind of bottles and containers.

Such obligation is mainly disclosed in non-current liabilities as the estimated payment is beyond one year. Such liability is not discounted, since it is considered a payable on sight, with the original invoice and the return of the respective container, and it does not have adjustability or interest clauses of any kind in its origin.

The adjustment is based on an estimate that is carried out by counting the bottles held by customers and adding an estimate of the number of bottles in hands of the final consumers. This estimate is based on independent studies and historical information regarding the return of these bottles.

In Argentina, all companies use the same returnable bottles and do not require a deposit, because bottles are provided to the customers using a contract on consignment.

2.22Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when it is likely that economic benefits flow to the Company and can be measured reliably. Income is measured at the fair value of the economic benefits received or to be received, and they are presented net of valued added taxes, specific taxes, returns, discounts and rebates.

Sales of goods are recognized after the Company has transferred to buyer all the risks and benefits inherent in the ownership of such goods, and it does not hold the right to dispose of them; in general, this means that sales are recorded at the transfer of risks and benefits to clients, pursuant to the terms agreed in the commercial agreements.

Sale of products in the domestic market

The Company obtains its revenues mainly from the sales, both in Chile and Argentina, of beers, soft drinks, mineral waters, purified water, nectars, wines, cider and spirits, products that are distributed through retail establishments, wholesale distributors and supermarket chains. None of them act as commercial agents of the Company. Such sales income in the domestic markets, net of the value added tax, specific taxes, returns, discounts and rebates to clients, are recognized when products are delivered, together with the transfer of all risks and benefits related to them.

Exports

In general, the Company´s delivery conditions for sale are basis for revenue recognition related to exports.

The structure of income recognition is based on the grouping of Incoterms, mainly in the following groups:

•              "FOB (Free on Board) shipping point", by which buyer organizes and pays for transportation, consequently the sales occur and revenue is recognized upon the delivery of merchandise to the transporter hired by buyer.

•              “CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) and similar", by which the Company organizes and pays for external transportation and some other expenses, although CCU ceases being responsible for the merchandise after delivering it to the maritime or air company in accordance with the relevant term. The sales occur and revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the merchandise at the port of destination.

In the event of discrepancies between the commercial agreements and delivery conditions those established in the agreements shall prevail.

2.23Commercial agreements with distributors and supermarket chains

The Company enters into commercial agreements with its clients, distributors and supermarkets through which they establish: (i) volume discounts and other client variables, (ii) promotional discounts that correspond to an additional rebate on the price of the products sold by reason of commercial initiatives development (temporary promotions), (iii) services payment and rendering of counter-services (advertising and promotion agreements, use of preferential spaces and others) and (iv) shared advertising, which corresponds to the Company’s participation in advertising campaigns, promotion magazines and opening of new sales locations.

Volume discounts and promotional discounts are recognized as a reduction in the sales price of the products sold. Shared advertising contributions are recognized when the advertising activities agreed upon with the distributor have been carried out, and they are recorded as marketing expenses incurred, under Other expenses by function.

The commitments with distributors or importers in the exports area are recognized on the basis of existing trade agreements.

2.24Cost of sales of products

The costs of sales include the production cost of the products sold and other costs incurred to place the inventories in the locations and under the conditions necessary for the sale. Such costs mainly include raw material costs, packing costs, production staff labor costs, production-related assets depreciation, returnable bottles depreciation, license payments and operational cost and plant and equipment maintenance costs.

2.25Other expenses by function

Other expenses by function include, mainly advertising and promotion expenses, depreciation of assets sold, selling expenses, marketing costs (sets, signs, neon signs at client’s facilities) and marketing and sales staff remuneration and compensations.

2.26 Distribution expenses

Distribution costs include all the necessary costs to deliver products to clients.

2.27Administration expenses

Administration expenses include the support units staff remuneration and compensation, depreciation of offices, equipment, facilities and furniture used for these functions, non-current assets amortization and other general and administration expenses.

2.28Environment

Environmental liabilities are recorded based on the current interpretation of environmental laws and regulations, or when an obligation is likely to occur and the amount of such liability can be calculated reliably.

Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to the Consolidated Statements of Income as incurred, except, investments in infrastructure designed to comply with environmental requirements, are recorded following the accounting policies for property, plant and equipment .

Note 3Estimates and application of professional judgment

Financial statement preparation requires estimates and assumptions from Management affecting the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and their related notes. The estimates made and the assumptions used by the Company are based on the historical experience, the changes in the industry and the information supplied by external qualified sources. Nevertheless, final results could differ from the estimates under certain conditions.

Significant estimates and accounting policies are defined as those that are important to correctly reflect the Company’s financial position and income, and/or those that require a high judgment level by Management.

The main estimates and professional judgments are related to the following concepts:

•              The valuation of goodwill acquired to determine the existence of losses due to potential impairment(Note 2.15 and Note 21). 

•              The valuation of commercial trademarks to determine the existence of potential losses due to potential impairment (Note 2.14 and Note 20). 

•              The assumptions used in the current calculation of liabilities and obligations to employees(Note 2.19 and Note 31). 

•              Useful life of property, plant and equipment (Note 2.10 and Note 22), biological assets (Note 2.13 and Note 25) and intangibles (software programs) (Note 2.14 and Note 20). 

•              The assumptions used for the calculation of financial instrument fair value(Note 2.6 and Note 6). 

•              The occurrence likelihood and the liabilities amount in an uncertain or contingent manner(Note 2.20, Note 29,

Such estimates are based on the best available information on the events analyzed to date of these consolidated financial statements.

However, it is possible that events that may occur in the future result in adjustments to such estimates, which would be done prospectively.

Note 4Accounting changes

During the year ended on December 31, 2011, there have been no changes in the use of accounting principles or relevant changes in any accounting estimates with regard to the previous years that have affected these consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 Risk Administration

Risk administration

In those companies without a significant non-controlling interest, the Company’s Administration and Finance Officer provides a centralized service for the group’s companies to obtain financing and administration of exchange rate, interest rate, liquidity, inflation, raw material and loan risks. Such activity operates according to a policies and procedures framework, which is regularly reviewed to comply with the purpose of administrating the risk originated by the business needs.

In those companies with a significant non-controlling interest (VSPT, CPCH, Aguas CCU-Nestlé and Cervecera Kunstmann) each Administration and Finance Officer exercises such responsibility. When necessary, the Board of Directors has the final responsibility for establishing and reviewing the risk administration structure, as well as for the review of the significant changes made to the risk administration policies, receiving information related to their activities.

According to the financial risk policies, the Company uses derivative instruments only for the purpose of covering exposures to the interest rate and exchange rate risks originated by the Company’s operations and its financing sources. The Company does not acquire derivative facilities with speculative or investment purposes nevertheless, some derivatives are not treated as hedge for accounting purposes because they do not qualify as such. Transactions with derivative instruments are exclusively carried out by staff under the Finance Management and the Internal Audit Management regularly reviews the control environment of this function. The relationship with Credit Rating Agencies and the monitoring of financial restrictions (covenants) are also administered by the Finance Management.

The Company’s main risk exposure is related to the exchange rates, interest rates, inflation and raw material prices (commodities), client’s accounts receivable and liquidity. For the purpose of containing the risk originated by such exposures, several financial instruments are used.

For each of the following, where applicable, the sensitivity analysis developed are for illustrative purposes, since in practice the sensitized variables rarely change without affecting each other and without affecting other factors that were considered as constants.

Exchange rate risk

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risks originated by: a) its net exposure to foreign currency assets and liabilities, b) exports sales, c) the purchase of raw material, products and capital investments effected in foreign currencies, or indexed in such currencies, and d) the net investment of subsidiaries in Argentina. The Company’s greatest exchange rate exposure is the variation of the Chilean peso as compared to the US dollar, euro, sterling pound and Argentine peso.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company maintained foreign currency obligations amounting to ThCh$ 78,152,511 (ThCh$ 52,560,458 in 2010), mostly denominated in US dollars. Foreign currency obligations accruing variable interest (ThCh$ 51,998,403 in 2011 and ThCh$ 32,785,328 in 2010) represent 21% (15% in 2010) of the total of such obligations. The remaining 79% (85% in 2010) is denominated in inflation-indexed Chilean pesos (see inflation risk section). The ThCh$ 78,152,511 foreign currency obligations include loans for US$ 70 million (ThCh$ 36,381,447 in 2011 and ThCh$ 32,785,328 in 2010) which are hedged by currency and interest rate hedge agreements, converting such debts in fixed interest rate inflation-adjusted obligations in Chilean pesos. In addition, the Company maintains foreign currency assets for ThCh$ 43,099,381 (ThCh$ 25,049,513 in 2010) that mainly correspond to exports accounts receivable.

Regarding the Argentine subsidiaries operations, the liability net exposure in US dollars and other currencies amounts to ThCh$ 2,199,284  (ThCh$ 5,245,182 in 2010).

To protect the value of the foreign currency assets and liabilities net position of its Chilean operations, the Company enters into derivative agreements (currency forwards) to ease any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s assets (liabilities) net exposure in foreign currencies in Chile, after the use of derivative instruments, is a liability amounted to ThCh$ 1,789,322 (ThCh$ 1,532,631 in 2010).

Of the Company’s total sales, both in Chile and Argentina, 9% (11% in 2010) corresponds to export sales made in foreign currencies, mainly US dollars, euro, pound sterling, and of the total costs 60% (61% in 2010) corresponds to raw material and products purchased in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies. The Company does not hedge the eventual variations in the expected cash flows from such transactions.

On the other hand, the Company is exposed to the exchange rate movements related to the conversion from Argentine pesos to Chilean pesos of the income, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries in Argentina. The Company does not hedge the risks related to the subsidiaries conversion, which effects are recorded in Equity.

As of December 31, 2011, the net investment in Argentine subsidiaries amounted to ThCh$ 94,073,030 (ThCh$ 86,527,472 in 2010).

Exchange rate sensitivity analysis

The exchange rate differences effect recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the  year ended as of December 31, 2011, related to the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, was a loss of ThCh$ 1,078,604 (ThCh$ 1,400,700 in 2010 and ThCh$ 1,390,069 in 2009). Considering the exposure as of December 31, 2011, and assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rate, and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, such as interest rates, it is estimated that the effect over the Company’s income would be income (loss) after taxes of ThCh$ 143,146 (income (loss) of ThCh$ 127,208 in 2010 and 48,101 in 2009).

Considering that approximately 9% of the Company’ sales relates to export sales carried out in Chile, in currencies different from the Chilean peso, and that in Chile approximately 56% (57% in 2010 and 60% in 2009) of the costs are indexed to the US dollar, and assuming that the Chilean peso will be appreciated or (depreciated) by 10% as compared to the set of foreign currencies, when maintaining constant the rest of the variables the hypothetical effect on the Company’s income would be income (loss) after taxes of ThCh$ 8,807,019 (income (loss) from ThCh$ 5,623,470 in 2010 and ThCh$ 4,977,427 in 2009).

The net investment maintained in subsidiaries that operate in Argentina amounts to ThCh$ 94,073,030 as of December 31, 2011 (ThCh$ 86,527,472 in 2010). Assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the Argentine peso exchange rate as compared to the Chilean peso, and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, the aforesaid increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in income (loss) of ThCh$ 9,407,303 (income (loss) ThCh$ 8,652,747 in 2010 and ThCh$ 8,608,943 in 2009) recorded as a credit (charge) against equity.

Interest rates risk

The interest rate risk is mainly originated by the Company’s financing sources. The main exposure is related to LIBOR variable interest rate indexed obligations.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a total ThCh$ 51,998,403 in debt indexed to LIBOR (ThCh$ 32,785,328 as of December 31, 2010). Consequently, as of December 31, 2011, the company’s financing structure is made up (without considering the effects of cross currency swaps effect) of approximately 21% (15% in 2010) debt with variable interest rates, and 79% (85% in 2010) debt with fixed interest rates.

To administer the interest rate risk, the Company has an interest rate administration policy that intends to reduce the volatility of its financial expense, and to maintain an ideal percentage of its debt in fixed rates instruments. The financial position is mainly set by the use of short-term and long-term debt, as well as derivative instruments such as cross currency interest rate swaps.

As of December 31, 2011, after considering the effect of interest rates and currency swaps, approximately 98% (100% in 2010) of the Company’s long-term debt has fixed interest rates.

The terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations as of December 31, 2011, including exchange rates, interest rates, maturities and effective interest rates are detailed inNote 27.

Interest rates sensitivity analysis

The total financial expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve month ended period as of December 31, 2011, related to short-term and long-term debts amounted to ThCh$ 14,410,911 (ThCh$ 10,668,587 in 2010 and ThCh$ 12,442,847 in 2009). Whereas only 2% of total debt (net of derivatives) is subject to variable interest rate, assuming an increase or decrease in interest rates in pesos and U.S. dollars of approximately 100 basis points, and keeping all other variables constant, such as the exchange rate, the increase (decrease) above hypothetically result in a loss (gain) of ThCh$ 57,374 (at December 31, 2010 and 2009 we were 100% covered against rate fluctuations interest) in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Inflation risk

The Company maintains a series of Unidad de Fomento* (UF) indexed agreements with third parties, as well as UF indexed financial debt, which means that the Company is exposed to the UF fluctuations, generating increases in the value of the agreements and inflation adjustable liabilities, in the event it experiences growth. This risk is mitigated by the fact that the Company’s policy is to maintain its unit income in UF constant, according to the conditions allowed by the market.

* The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit. The UF rate is set daily based on changes in the previous month´s inflation rate.

Inflation sensitivity analysis

The income for total adjustment unit recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the twelve month ended as of December 31, 2011, related to UF indexed short-term and long-term debt, and resulted in a loss ThCh$ 6,734,379 (ThCh$ 5,079,737 in 2010 and a profit of ThCh$ 4,190,023 in 2009). Assuming a reasonably possible increase (decrease) of the Unidad de Fomento by approximately 3% and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, such as interest rates, the aforementioned increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in a loss (income) of ThCh$ 6,132,818 (ThCh$ 6,288,142 in 2010 and ThCh$ 6,661,378 in 2009) in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Raw material price risk

The main exposure to the raw material price variation is related to the barley and malt supply for the production of beer, concentrates, sugar and plastic containers used in the production of soft drinks, bulk wine and grapes for the manufacturing of wine and spirits.

Barley and malt

In Chile the Company obtains its barley and malt supply from local producers and from the international market. Long-term supply agreements are entered into with local producers, where the barley price is set annually according to the market prices, which is used to determine the malt price according to the agreements. The purchases and commitments made expose the Company to a raw material price fluctuation risk. During 2011 the Company purchased 12,000 tons (27,000 tons in 2010) of barley and 24,300 tons (30,052 tons in 2010) of malt. On the other hand, CCU Argentina acquires the whole demand of malt from local producers. Such raw material represents approximately 29% (29% in 2010 and 30% in 2009) of the beer direct cost.

Concentrates, Sugar and plastic containers

The main raw materials used in the production of non-alcoholic beverages are concentrates, which are mainly acquired from licensees, sugar and plastic resin for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and containers. The Company is exposed to price fluctuation risks of these raw materials, which jointly represent 55% (52% in 2010 and 61% in 2009) of the direct cost of non-alcoholic beverages. The Company does not carry out hedging activities over these raw material purchases.

Grapes and wine

The main raw materials used by the subsidiary VSPT for wine production are its own production grapes and third-party grapes and wine. Approximately 47% (48% in 2010) of the export wine supply comes from its own vineyards, thus reducing the effect of price volatility and ensuring the products quality consistence. Approximately 90% (92% in 2010 and 95% in 2009) of the wine or grape supply for the wine for local market is acquired from third parties.

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011  

During 2011, the subsidiary VSPT acquired 65% (57% in 2010) of the necessary grapes and wine from third parties through fixed price agreements. In addition, it also occasionally effects spot price (or cash price) transactions, depending on its needs.

Raw material price sensitivity Analysis

The total direct cost in the consolidated statement of income for 2011 amounts to ThCh$ 372,626,307 (ThCh$ 275,058,113 in 2010 and ThCh$ 261,973,067 in 2009). Assuming a reasonably possible increase (decrease) in the direct cost of each segment of 8% and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, such as exchange rates, the aforesaid increase (decrease) would hypothetically result into a loss (income) of ThCh$ 6,783,393 (ThCh$ 6,175,942 in 2010 and ThCh$ 6,181,816 in 2009) for Beer Chile, ThCh$ 4,867,084 (ThCh$ 3,510,028 in 2010 and ThCH$ 3,221,765 in 2009) for Beer Argentina, ThCh$ 7,655,225 (ThCh$ 6,581,027 in 2010 and ThCH$ 6,104,023 in 2009) for non-alcoholic beverages, ThCh$ 6,076,016 (ThCh$ 5,607,456 in 2010 and ThCh$ 5,100,349 in 2009) for Wines and ThCh$ 1,825,378
(ThCh$ 1,368,445 in 2010 and ThCH$ 1,283,360 in 2009) for Spirits.

Credit risk

The credit risk to which the Company is exposed is mainly originated by a) the commercial accounts receivable maintained with retail clients, wholesale distributors and supermarket chains of domestic markets; b) accounts receivable from exports; and c) financial facilities maintained with Banks and financial institutions, such as sight deposits, mutual funds investments, facilities acquired under resale commitment and derivative financial facilities.

Domestic market

The credit risk related to commercial collectible accounts of domestic markets is administered by the Loan and Collection Administration Officer, and it is monitored by the Loan Committee of each business unit. The Company has a wide client base that is subject to the policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. The loan limits are established for all clients on the basis of an internal qualification and payment performance. The pending for payment commercial accounts receivable are regularly monitored. In addition, the Company acquires loan insurances covering 90% of the individually significant accounts receivable balances, a coverage that as of December 31, 2011, amounts to 84% (83% as of December 31, 2010) of the total accounts receivable.

Overdue but not impaired commercial accounts receivable correspond to clients that show delays of less than 18.1 days (18.3 days in 2010).

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 811 clients (694 clients as of December 31, 2010) indebted in over Ch$ 10 million each that together represent approximately 85% (84% in 2010) of the total commercial accounts receivable. There were 194 clients (171 clients as of December 31, 2010) with balances over Ch$ 50 million each, representing approximately 74% (73% in 2010) of the total accounts receivable. The 92% (92% in 2010) of such accounts receivable are covered by the aforesaid loan insurance, or by mortgage guarantees.

The Company believes that no additional credit risk provisions are needed to the individual and collective provisions determined at December 31, 2011, since as mentioned above a large percentage of these are covered by insurance.

Exports market

The loan risk related to accounts receivable for exports is administered by VSPT Head of Loan and Collection, and it is monitored by VSPT Administration and Finance Officer. The Company has a large client base, in over eighty countries, which are subject to the policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. In addition, the Company acquires loan insurance covering 98% (96% in 2010) of the individually significant accounts receivable, a coverage that as of December 31, 2011, amounts to 81% (80% in 2010) of the total accounts receivable. Pending payment of commercial accounts receivable are regularly monitored. Apart from the loan insurance, the fact of having diversified sales in different countries decreases the loan risk.

As of December 31, 2011, there were 78 clients (62 clients in 2010) indebted for over Ch$ 65 million each, which represent 88% (84% in 2010) of the total accounts receivable of the export market. 

Overdue but not impaired commercial accounts receivable correspond to clients that show delays of less than 28 days (44 days in 2010).

December 31, 2011  

The Company estimates that no loan risk provisions are necessary in addition to the individual and collective provisions determined as of December 31, 2011. See analysis of accounts receivables maturities and losses due to impairment of accounts receivables (Note 15). 

The Company has policies limiting the counterparty loan risk exposure as regards financial institutions, and such exposures are frequently monitored. Consequently, the Company does not have loan risk concentrations with financial institutions that should be considered significant as of December 31, 2011.

Liquidity risk

The Company administers liquidity risk at a consolidated level, the cash flows originated by its operational activities being the main liquidity source. Additionally, the Company has the ability to issue debt and equity instruments in the capital market according to their needs.

To manage short-term liquidity, the Company considers projected cash flows for a twelve months moving period and maintains cash and cash equivalents available to meet its obligations.

Based on the current operational performance and its liquidity position, the Company estimates that the cash flows originated by operating activities and the cash available shall be sufficient to finance working capital, capital investments, interest payments, dividend payments and debt payment requirements for the next 12-month period and the foreseeable future.

A summary of the Company’s financial liabilities and financial liabilities originated by derivatives with their maturities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, based on the non discounted contractual cash flows appears below:

The book value of current accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalent and other financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such facilities, and in the case of accounts receivable, due to the fact that any collection loss is already reflected in the impairment loss provisions.

The fair value of non derivative financial assets and liabilities that are not quoted in active markets is estimated through the use of discounted cash flows calculated on market variables observed as of the date of the financial statements. The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated through the discount of future cash flows, determined according to information observed in the market, or to variables and prices obtained from third parties.

The uncollectible rate during the last two years has not been significant.

As indicated in the Risk management note (Note 5), for Credit Risk purposes, the Company acquires credit insurance policies to cover approximately 90% of the accounts receivable balances.

Regarding amounts aged more than 6 months and for which no allowances have been constituted, they correspond mainly to amounts already covered by the credit insurance policies.

In addition, there are amounts overdue within ranges for which, in accordance with current policies are only partially impaired for based on a case by case analysis.

Note 24Assets of disposal group held for sale

During the last quarter of 2009, the Board of Tamarí S.A. authorized the sale of fixed assets which includes the winery with facilities for processing and storage of wines as well as of acres that surround it and the guest house. This decision is based primarily on the advantage of consolidating the operations of processing and packaging of wines from the Wine Group subsidiaries VSPT facilities in Finca La Celia, generating significant synergies for the Group.

During the year 2010, the Company hired a specialist broker for such assets. Subsequently, on December 13, 2011, a sales reservation contract was signed for all of the assets, and the formalization of this is expected to occur during the first semester of the year 2012.

As described inNote 2.17, non-current assets held for sale have been recorded at the lower of book value and estimated sale value December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the items of assets held for sale are the following:

Note 25 Biological Assets

The Company, through its subsidiaries Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A., has biological assets corresponding to vines that produce grapes. The vines are segmented into those under formation and those under production, and they are grown both in leased and owned land.

The grapes harvested from these vines are used in the manufacturing of wine under the Company´s own brands, which is marketed both in the domestic market and abroad.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company maintained approximately 4,358, of which 4,226 hectares are for vines in production stage. Of the total hectares mentioned above, 4,043 correspond to own land and 315 to leased land.

The vines under formation are recorded at historic cost, and only start being depreciated when they are transferred to the production phase, which occurs three years after plantation, when they start producing grapes commercially (in volumes that justify their production-oriented handling and later harvest).

During 2011 the production plant vines allowed to harvest a total of approximately 45.7 million kilos of grapes (41.9 million in 2010).

As part of the risk administration activities, the subsidiaries use insurance agreements for the damage caused by nature or other to their biological assets. In addition, either productive or under formation vines are not affected by title restrictions of any kind, nor have they been pledged as a guarantee for financial liabilities.

Under production vines depreciation is carried out on a linear basis and it is based on the 25-years estimated production useful life, which is periodically assessed. Vines under formation are not depreciated until they start production.

The costs incurred for acquiring and planting new vines are capitalized.

The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, the basis that management considers that it represents a reasonable approximation to fair value.

There is no evidence of impairment on the biological assets held by the Company.

Total	29,430,120	25,366,455

The following is a detail of the Short-term and Severance Indemnity.

Employees’ Bonuses

Short-term benefits are mainly comprised of recorded vacation (on accruals basis) and bonuses and share compensation. Such benefits are recorded when the obligation is accrued, and they are usually paid within a 12-month period, consequently they are not discounted.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the provisions recorded as a result of services granted and unpaid are as follows:

Short-Term Employees Benefits	As of December31, 2011	As ofDecember 31,2010

Vacation	5,837,134	4,894,374
Bonus and compensation	8,061,468	5,705,016
Total	13,898,602	10,599,390

The Company records the staff vacation cost on an accrual basis.

Severance Indemnity

The Company records a liability for the payment of an irrevocable severance indemnity, originated by collective and individual agreements entered into with some groups of employees. Such obligation is determined by means of the current value of the benefit accrued cost, a method that considers several factors for the calculation, such as estimates of future continuance, mortality rates, future salary increases and discount rates. The so-determined value is presented at the current value by using the severance benefits accrued method. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest rates curves for high quality entrepreneurial bonds, with an average duration equivalent to the estimated terms for the payment of such severance, plus the Central Bank estimated inflation, and the margin applicable to companies with a rating equivalent to AA or higher. The discount rate in Chile was 7.7% and in Argentina 26.6%, for each year ended as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
