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, 2014 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” 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, 2014, 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, 2014 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 2014 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 statement of income, comprehensive income, shareholder´s 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 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, 2014, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) 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 inManagement’sReport 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 reasonableassurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statementsfor external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’sinternal 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, ordisposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |

2.2 Basis 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 control was obtained by the Company, and they are excluded from consolidation as of the date the Company loses 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 as income.
Joint operations
As explained inNote 1, in those joint arrangements that qualify as joint operations, the Company recognises the assets, liabilities, gains (losses) from operational activities respect of its interest in the joint operations in accordance with IFRS 11.
Intercompany transaction
Intercompany 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, the subsidiaries’ accounting policies are amended to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company.

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 for by the equity method
Joint ventures and associates
The Company maintains investments in joint arrangements that qualify as joint ventures, which correspond to a contractual agreement by which two or more parties carry out an economic activity that is subject to 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 significant influence and is not a subsidiary or is a joint venture.
The Company accounts for its participation in joint arrangement that qualify as joint ventures and associates using the equity method. The financial statements of the joint ventures are prepared for the same year, under accounting policies consistent with those of the Company. Adjustments are made to conform any difference in accounting policies that may exist to the Company´s accounting policies.
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 as regards to such transaction until the asset is sold or realized by the joint venture.
2.3 Financial information as peroperating segments
The Company has defined three Operating segments which essentially defined with respect to its revenues in the geographic areas of commercial activity: 1.- Chile, 2.- Río de la Plata and 3.- Wine. Until December 31, 2013, the The Company reported three reportable segments within which identified six Operating segments and has restated the corresponding segment information from previous periods, according to IFRS 8.
These Operating segments mentioned are consistent with the way the Company is managed and how results will be reported by CCU. These segments reflect separate operating results which are regularly reviewed by each segment chief operating decision maker in order to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance(See Note 7).
The segments performance is measured according to several indicators, of which OR (Operating Result), ORBDA (Operating Result Before Depreciation and Amortization), ORBDA margin (ORBDA’s % of total revenues for theOperating segment), the volumes and Net sales. Sales between segments are conducted using terms and conditions at current market rates.
The company defined the Operating Result as the Income (loss) before Other gains (losses), Net financial cost, Equity and income from joint ventures and associates, Foreign currency exchange differences, Results as per adjustment units and Income tax, and the ROADA, for the Company purposes, is defined as Operating Result before Depreciation and Amortization.
Corporate revenues and expenses are presented separately within the Other segment.

2.4 Foreign currency and unidad de fomento (Adjustment 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, Uruguayan and Paraguayan subsidiaries is the Argentine peso, Uruguayan peso and Paraguayan guarani, respectively.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies and adjustment units (“Unidad de Fomento” or “UF”) are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustment 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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and adjustment units are translated into Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustment 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 Foreign currency exchange differences, while the difference arising from the changes in adjustment units are recorded in the statement of income as Result as per adjustment units.
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 consolidated 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 as differences since there have not been significant fluctuations in the exchange rates during each month.
The exchange rates of the primary foreign currencies and adjustment units used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as ofDecember2014, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

2.5 Cash 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.
2.6 Financial 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 technique including (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.
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
Trade receivable credits or accounts are recognized according to their invoice value.
Estimated losses from bad debts are determined by applying differentiated percentages, taking into account maturity factors, until reaching 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.
Current trade receivable credits and accounts are initially recognized at their nominal value and are not discounted because they do not differ significantly from their fair value. The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is not materially different from the invoiced amount because the transactions do 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 a financing operations appear under financial cost.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2014 | 
|
Loans and obligations accruing interest with a maturity within 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 differences exist between the carrying value and amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derivative Instruments
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized as of the date of the agreement and subsequently revalued at their fair value as of the date of the financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from fair value measurement are recorded in the Statement of Income as gains or losses due to fair value of financial instruments, unless the derivative instrument qualifies is designated, and is 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 flows of the hedged item. A hedge is considered effective when changes in the fair value or in the cash flows of the underlying directly attributable to the risk hedged are offset with the changes in fair value, or in the cash flows of the hedging instrument with effectiveness between 80% to 125%.
Derivative instruments classified as hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
The total fair value of 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 are 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.
Deposits for returns of bottles and containers
Deposits for returns of bottles and containers corresponds to the liabilities registered by the guarantees of money received from customers for bottles and containers placed at their disposal and represents the value that will be returned to the customer when it returns the bottles to the Company in good condition along with the original document. This value is determined by the estimation of the bottles and containers in circulation that are expected to be returned to the Company in the course of time based on the historic experience, physical counts held by clients and independent studies over the quantities that are in the hands of end consumers, valued at the average weighted guarantees for each type of bottles and containers.
The Company does not intend to make significant repayment of these deposits within the next 12 months. However, from December 31, 2012, such amounts are classified within current liabilities, under the line Other financial liabilities, since the Company does not have the legal ability to defer this payment for a period exceeding 12 months. This liability is not discounted, since it is considered a payable on sight, with the original document and the return of the respective bottles and containers and it does not have adjustability or interest clauses of any kind in its origin.

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 by grouping the financial assets according to similar risk characteristics, which indicate the debtor’s capacity to comply with their obligations under the agreed upon conditions. 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, as Administrative expenses.
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.
2.8 Inventories
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 assets deterioration is registered for the difference in value. This allowance for inventory deterioration also includes amounts related to obsolete items due to low turnover, technical obsolescence and products withdrawn from the market.
The inventories and cost of products sold, is determined using the Weighted Average Cost (WAC). The Company estimates that most of the inventories have a high turnover.
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 WAC methodology.
Costs associated with agricultural activities (winery) are deferred up to the harvest date, at which time they become part of inventory cost for subsequent processes.
2.9 Other 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 to suppliers and current and non-current advertising agreements.
2.10 Property, 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.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2014 | 
|
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. 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 Constructions | 20 to 60 |
Machinery and equipment | 10 to 25 |
Furniture and accessories | 5 to 10 |
Other equipment (coolers and mayolicas) | 5 to 8 |
Glass and plastic 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).
2.11 Leases
Lease agreements are classified as financial leases when the agreement transfers to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards 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 of the fair value of the asset and the present value of future lease payments. Subsequently, 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 and building held by the Company with the purpose of generating appreciation and are not used in the normal course of business, and are 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 the 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 of 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 based on the 30-years average 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.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2014 | 
|
The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, on the basis that management considers that it represents a reasonable approximation of fair value.
2.14 Intangible 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 Program
Software Program 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 in the year during which they are incurred.
Research and development
Research and development expenses are recognized in the period incurred.
Water Rights
Water Rights acquired by the Company correspond to the existing exploitation rights of water from natural sources, and they are recorded at their attributed cost as of the transition date to IFRS. 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(See Note 2.16).
2.15 Goodwill
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 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 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.
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 higher of 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.
2.16 Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill
The Company annually assesses the existence of impairment indicators on non-financial 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.

For indefinite useful life intangible assets, which are not amortized, the Company performs all required test to ensure that the carrying amount does not exceed recoverable value.
The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of the fair value, less cost to sell and the value in use. The value in use 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.
For other non-financial assets different than goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful life, the Company assesses the existence of impairment indicators when some event or change in business circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable and impairment is recognised when the book value is higher than its recoverable value.
The Company annually assesses if impairment indicators of non-financial assets for which impairment losses were recorded during prior years have disappeared or decreased. In the event of such 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.
2.17 Assets 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.
2.18 Income taxes
Income taxes are 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, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
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 likely that 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.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2014 |

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is 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.
2.19 Employees 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, bonuses 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 from 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 are directly recorded in Income.
As of December 31, 2012, the actuarial gains and losses originated by the valuation of the liabilities subject to such plans, was recorded directly in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Additionally, at the same date, the financial cost related to severance indemnity was recorded under Cost of sales or Administrative expenses. Beginning January 1, 2013 due to the amendment of IAS 19 (applied prospectively), the actuarial gains and losses are recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income, under Equity and, according to the accounting policies of the Company, financial costs related to the severance indemnity are directly recorded under Financial cost in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
2.20 Provisions
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, labour and taxation proceedings that could affect the Company(See Note 29).
2.21 Revenue 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, both in Chile and Argentina, mainly from the sales of beers, soft drinks, mineral waters, purified water, juices, wines, cider and spirits, products that are distributed through retail establishments, wholesale distributors and supermarket chains. None of which act as commercial agents of the Company. Such revenues 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 the basis for revenue recognition related to exports.
The structure of revenue 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 terms. 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.
2.22 Commercial 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.
2.23 Cost of sales of products
The costs of sales include the production cost of the products sold and other costs incurred to place inventories in the locations and under the conditions necessary for the sale. Such costs mainly include raw material costs, packing costs, production staff labour costs, production-related assets depreciation, returnable bottles depreciation, license payments, operational costs and plant and equipment maintenance costs.
2.24 Other 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.
2.25 Distribution expenses

2.27 Environment liabilities
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, 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 level of judgment by Management.
The primary estimates and professional judgments relate 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 (Note 2.14 and Note 20).
• The assumptions used for the calculation of fair value financial instruments(Note 2.6 and Note 6).
• The occurrence likelihood and the estimates amount in an uncertain or contingent manner(Note 2.20, Note 29).
Such estimates are based on the best available information of the events analysed to date in these consolidated financial statements. However, it is possible that events that may occur in the future that result in adjustments to such estimates, which would be recorded prospectively.
Note 4Accounting changes
As of December 31, 2014, there have been no significant changes in the use of accounting principles or relevant changes in any accounting estimates with regard to 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 significant changes made to the risk administration policies.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2014 |

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 hedges 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 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 Finance Management.
The Company’s main risk exposure is related to the exchange rates, interest rates, inflation and raw material prices (commodities), taxes, client’s accounts receivable and liquidity. For the purpose of managing the risk originated by such exposures, several financial instruments are used.
For each of the following, where applicable, 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, Uruguay and Paraguay. The Company’s greatest exchange rate exposure is the variation of the Chilean peso as compared to the US Dollar, Euro, Sterling Pound, Argentine Peso, Uruguayan Peso and Guarani paraguayan.
As ofDecember 31, 2014, the Company maintained foreign currency obligations amounting to ThCh$ 46,780,406 (ThCh$ 46,597,983 in 2013), mostly denominated in US Dollars. Foreign currency obligations accruing variable interest (ThCh$ 19,838,965 in 2014 and ThCh$ 21,618,277 in 2013) represent 11% (9% in 2013) of the total of Other financial liabilities. The remaining 89% (91% in 2013) is denominated in inflation-indexed Chilean pesos (see inflation risk section). In addition, the Company maintains foreign currency assets for ThCh$ 57,086,683 (ThCh$ 47,369,197 in 2013) that mainly correspond to exports accounts receivable.
Regarding the Argentine subsidiaries operations, the net exposure liability in US Dollars and other currencies amounts to ThCh$ 7,043,648 (ThCh$ 9,412,041 in 2013).
Regarding the Uruguayan subsidiaries operations, the net exposure liability in US Dollars and other currencies amounts to ThCh$ 2,030 (ThCh$ 466,519 in 2013).
To protect the value of the net foreign currency assets and liabilities 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.
As ofDecember 31, 2014, the Company’s mitigate net asset exposure in foreign currencies in Chile, after the use of derivative instruments, is an asset amounting to ThCh$ 2,588,053 (liability of ThCh$ 1,068,823 in 2013).
Of the Company’s total sales, both in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, 8% (8% in 2013 and 9% in 2012) corresponds to export sales made in foreign currencies, mainly US Dollars, Euro and Sterling Pound and of the total costs 55% (57% in 2013 and 2012) corresponds to raw materials 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.
The Company is also exposed to movements in exchange rates relating to the conversion from Argentine pesos Paraguayan guaranis, and Uruguayan pesos to Chilean Pesos with respect to assets, liabilities, income and expenses of its subsidiaries in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. The Company does not cover the risks associated with the conversion of its subsidiaries,which effects are recorded in Equity.
As of December 31, 2014, the net investment in Argentine subsidiaries amounted to ThCh$ 90,604,760 (ThCh$ 84,362,639 in 2013), Uruguay amounted to ThCh$ 14,539,508 (ThCh$ 8,815,230 in 2013) and in Paraguay amounted to
ThCh$ 22,609,205 (ThCh$ 11,254,656 in 2013).

Exchange rate sensitivity analysis
The exchange rate differences effect recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the period ended as ofDecember 31, 2014, related to the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, was a loss of ThCh$ 613,181 (ThCh$ 4,292,119 in 2013 and ThCh$ 1,002,839 in 2012). Considering the exposure as ofDecember 31, 2014, and assuming a 10% increase (or decrease) in the exchange rate, and maintaining constant all other variables, such as interest rates, it is estimated that the effect over the Company’s income would be income (loss) after taxes of
ThCh$ 204,456 (income (loss) of ThCh$ 85,506 in 2013 and ThCh$ 234,606 in 2012).
Considering that approximately 8% of the Company’ sales relates to export sales carried out in Chile (8% and 9% in 2013 and 2012 respectively), in currencies different from the Chilean Peso, and that in Chile approximately 53% (53% in 2013 and 52% in 2012) 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$ 10,223,655 (income (loss) from ThCh$ 9,970,631 in 2013 and ThCh$ 8,965,359 in 2012).
The Company can also be affected by the variation of the exchange rate of the countries included in Río de la Plata Operating Segment (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay), since the result is converted to Chilean Pesos at the average rate of each month. The result of the operations in Río de la Plata Operating Segment during the year 2014 were ThCh$28,152,804 (ThCh $ 26,693,464 in 2013 andThCh $ 28,057,163 in 2012). Therefore, a depreciation (or appreciation) of 10% in the exchange rate of the Argentine and Uruguayan Peso and the Paraguayan Guarani against the Chilean Peso, would be a loss (income) before tax of ThCh$ 2,815,250 (ThCh$ 2,790,898 in 2013 and ThCh$ 2,818,189 in 2012).
The net investment maintained in subsidiaries that operate in Argentina amounts to ThCh$ 90,604,760 as of December 31, 2014 (ThCh$ 84,362,639 in 2013). 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 increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in income (loss) of ThCh$ 9,060,476 (ThCh$ 8,436,264 in 2013) recorded as a credit (charge) against Equity.
The net investment maintained in subsidiaries that operate in Uruguay amounts to ThCh$ 14,539,508 as of December 31, 2014 (ThCh$ 8,815,230 in 2013). Assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the Uruguayan peso exchange rate as compared to the Chilean Peso, and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, the increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in income (loss) of ThCh$ 1,453,951 recorded as a credit (charge) against Equity (ThCh$ 881,523 in 2013).
The net investment maintained in subsidiaries that operate in Paraguay amounts to ThCh$ 22,609,205 as of December 31, 2014 (ThCh$ 11,254,656 in 2013). Assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the Uruguayan peso exchange rate as compared to the Chilean Peso, and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, the increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in income (loss) of ThCh$ 2,260,921 (ThCh$ 1,125,466 in 2013) recorded as a credit (charge) against Equity.
The company does not cover the risks associated with the currency conversion of the financial statements of its subsidiaries that have other functional currency, whose effects are reported in Equity.
Interest rates risk
The interest rate risk mainly originated from the Company’s financing sources. The main exposure is related to LIBOR variable interest rate indexed obligations.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a total ThCh$ 13,690,987 in debt indexed to LIBOR (ThCh$ 11,840,117 in 2013). Consequently, as of December 31, 2014, the company’s financing structure is made up (without considering the effects of cross currency swaps effect) of approximately 7% (5% in 2013) in debt with variable interest rates, and 93% (95% in 2013) in debt with fixed interest rates.
To administer the interest rate risk, the Company has a policy that intends to reduce the volatility of its financial expense, and to maintain an ideal percentage of its debt in fixed rate 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.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2014 | 
|
As of December 31, 2014, after considering the effect of interest rates and currency swaps, approximately 100% (100% in 2013) of the Company’s long-term debt has fixed interest rates.
The terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations as of December 31, 2014, 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 as of December 31, 2014, related to short-term and long-term debts amounted to ThCh$ 22,957,482 (ThCh$ 24,084,226 in 2013 and ThCh$ 17,054,879 in 2012). As of December 31, 2014 we were 100% covered against interest rate fluctuations (100% covered as of December 31, 2013).
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 Company’s policy of keeping the unitary net sales in UF constant, as long as the market conditions allows it.
* 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, 2014, related to UF indexed short-term and long-term debt, and resulted in a loss of ThCh$ 4,159,131 (ThCh$ 1,801,765 in 2013 and ThCh$ 5,057,807 in 2012). 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$ 3,035,371 (ThCh$ 2,999,467 in 2013 and ThCh$ 5,079,454 in 2012) in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Raw material price risk
The main exposure to the raw material price variation is related to barley and malt used in the production of beer, concentrates, sugar and plastic containers used in the production of soft drinks and bulk wine and grapes for the manufacturing of wine and spirits.
Barley, malt and cans
In Chile, the Company obtains its barley and malt supply both from local producers and the international market. Long-term supply agreements are entered into with local producers where the barley price is set annually according to market prices, which are used to determine the malt price according to the agreements. The purchases commitments made expose the Company to a raw material price fluctuation risk. During 2014, the Company purchased 52,720 tons (54,162 tons in 2013) of barley and 37,315 tons (32,203 tons in 2013) of malt. CCU Argentina acquires mainly malt from local producers. Such raw materials represent approximately 12% (12% in 2013) of the direct cost of Chile Operating segment.
Of the cost of Chile Operating segment, the cost of cans represents approximately 12% of the direct cost (16% in 2013). Meanwhile in Río de la Plata Operating segment the cans cost represent approximately 20% of the direct cost of raw materials in 2014 (22% in 2013).
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 approximately 29% (27% in 2013) of the direct cost of Chile Operating segment. The company does not engage in hedging the purchases of raw materials.

Grapes and wine
The main raw material used by the subsidiary VSPT for wine production are harvested grapes from own production and grapes and wines acquired from third parties through long term and spot contracts. Approximately 23% (31% in 2013) of total wine of VSPT supply comes from its own vineyards. In the export business the own supply for 2014 was 37% (37% for 2013).
The remaining 77% (69% in 2013) supply is purchased from third parties through. During 2014, the subsidiary VSPT acquired 69% (55% in 2013) of the necessary grapes and wine from third parties through spot contracts. it also acquired 8% of its grape needs in 2014 from long term agreements (15% in 2013).
As of December 31, 2014, we must consider that wine represents 59% (58% in 2013) of the total direct cost of VSPT.
Raw material price sensitivity Analysis
The total direct cost in the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2014 amounts to ThCh$ 433,749,832 (ThCh$ 382,645,778 in 2013 and ThCh$ 361,570,855 in 2012). Assuming a reasonably possible increase (decrease) in the direct cost of each Operating 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) before taxes of ThCh$ 21,875,405 (ThCh$ 20,363,653 in 2013 and ThCh$ 18,419,284 in 2012) for Chile Operating segment, ThCh$5,925,786 (ThCh$ 5,421,437 in 2013 and ThCh$ 5,018,556 in 2012) for Río de la Plata Operating segment, ThCh$ 6,414,035 (ThCh$ 6,180,951 in 2013 and ThCh$ 6,553,854 2012) for Wine Operating segment.
Credit risk
The credit risk to which the Company is exposed originates from: 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 demand deposits, mutual funds investments, facilities acquired under resale commitments and derivatives.
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. Outstanding 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, 2014, amounts to 89% (89% in 2013) of the total accounts receivable.
Overdue but not impaired commercial accounts receivable corresponds to clients that show delays of less than 18.2 days (21 days in 2013).
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 904 clients (854 clients in 2013) indebted in over Ch$ 10 million each that together represent approximately 86% (86% in 2013) of the total commercial accounts receivable. There were 195 clients (184 clients in 2013) with balances over Ch$ 50 million each, representing approximately 76% (76% in 2013) of the total accounts receivable. The 94% (95% in 2013) of such accounts receivable are covered by the loan insurance.
The Company believes that no additional credit risk provisions are needed to the individual and collective provisions determined at December 31, 2014, as 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 90% (83% in 2013) of the total accounts receivable. Pending payment of commercial accounts receivable is regularly monitored. Apart from the loan insurance, having diversified sales in different countries decreases the loan risk.
As of December 31, 2014, there were 72 clients (75 clients in 2013) indebted for over ThCh$ 65,000 each, which represent 87% (87% in 2013) of the total accounts receivable of the export market.
Overdue but not impaired commercial accounts receivable corresponds to clients that show delays of less than 32 days (47 days in 2013).
The Company estimates that no loan risk provisions are necessary in addition to the individual and collective provisions determined as of December 31, 2014. 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 with respect to financial institutions, and such exposures are frequently monitored. Consequently, the Company does not have significant risk concentration with any specific financial institutions as of December 31, 2014.
Tax risk
Our businesses are taxed with different duties, particularly with excise taxes on the consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The Argentine excise tax is 8.7% for beer, and the Chilean excise tax is 20.5% for beer and wine, 31.5% for spirits, 18% for sugar content non alcoholic beverages and 10% for no sugar content non alcoholic beverages. An increase in the rate of these or any other tax could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
Liquidity risk
The Company administers liquidity risk at a consolidated level. The cash flows originated from 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 our 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 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.

The book value of current accounts receivables, cash and cash equivalents 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 provision.
The fair value of non-derivative financial assets and liabilities that are not quoted in active markets are 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.

Goodwill assigned to the CGU is submitted to impairment tests annually or with a higher frequency in case there are indications that any of the CGU could experience impairment. The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined as the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell. To determine the value in use, the Company has used cash flow projections over a 5-year span, based on the budgets and projections reviewed by the Management for the same term and with an average grown-rate of 3%. The rates used to discount the projected cash flows reflect the market assessment of the specific risks related to the corresponding CGU. The discount rates used range from a 9.1% to 14.2%. Given the materiality of the amounts involved, it was not considered relevant to describe additional information in this Note. A reasonable change in assumptions would not result in an impairment to goodwill.
As December 31, 2014, the Company has not identified any evidence of impairment of goodwill.

Note 24Assets of disposal group held for sale
During the last quarter of 2009, the Board of Tamarí S.A. (merged with Finca la Celia S.A. as of April 1, 2011)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 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, which expected to occur during 2015.
During December 2014, the subsidiary Sidra La Victoria S.A. authorized the sale of property located in Cipolletti city, Provincia de Río Negro, Argentina.
As described inNote 2.17, non-current assets held for sale have been recorded at the lower of book value and estimated sale valueDecember 31, 2014.

Note 25Biological 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 on leased and owned land.
The grapes harvested from these vines are used in the manufacturing of wine, which is marketed both in the domestic market and abroad.
As ofDecember 31, 2014, the Company maintained approximately 4,208, of which 4,083 hectares are for vines in production stage. Of the total hectares mentioned above, 3,765 correspond to own land and 318 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 in the majority of cases in the third year after plantation, when they start producing grapes commercially (in volumes that justify their production-oriented handling and later harvest).
During 2014, the production plant vines yield approximately 42,5 million kilos of grapes (54,1 million kilos of grapes in 2013).
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.
For production vines depreciation is carried out on a linear basis and it is based on the 30-years average 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.

(1) On September 29, 2014 Act No. 20,780 was published in Chile, regarding the so called “Tax reform” which introduces amendments, among others, to the Income tax system. The said Act provides that corporations will apply by default the "Partially Integrated System", unless a future Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting agrees to opt for the "Attributed Income Regime”. The Act provides for the "Partially Integrated System" a gradual increase in the First Category Income tax rate, going from 20% to 21% for the business year 2014, to 22.5% for the business year 2015, to 24% for the business year 2016, to 25.5% for the business year 2017 and to 27% starting 2018 business year.
The effect of the new tax rate of 21%, applicable from January 1, 2014, resulted in charges of ThCh$ 1,359,437 against income in2014.
The difference between assets and liabilities for deferred taxes which occur as a direct effect of the increase in the First Category Income tax rate introduced by Act No. 20,780, has been accounted against to Net income. As of December 31, 2014, the total effect registered against the Net income was an amount of ThCh$ 14,520,287.
(2) This concept is related to a change in tax rate, based on a modified tax law in Chile. This change in tax rate, which was initially a temporary measure, raised the rate from 17% to 20% for the year 2011 and 18.5% for the year 2012, returning to 17% in 2013. Subsequently, on September 27, 2012, Law N° 20,630, so-called Tax Reform was published, which made permanent the tax rate change from 17% to 20% for First Category Tax beginning in 2012, generating a charge to deferred income tax of ThCh$ 5,265,298. This charge includes ThCh$ 2,512,683 related to deferred tax of the revaluation of land, upon implementation of IFRS, whose origin was adjusted in Equity under Retained earnings. According to instructions from the SVS in its Ordinary Office N° 26160, dated November 7, 2012, in response to our submission dated October 31, 2012, this amount was charged to the Net income of 2012.
(3) Mainly related to a one-time effect caused by a deferred tax provision reversal related to deposits for returns of bottles and containers provision.
The deferred taxes related to items charged or credited directly to Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are as follows:
