1, 2010. Additionally the period between January 1 and December 31, 2009 constituted the transition period towards IFRS and the Financial Statements of the year 2010 were presented comparatively with 2009.
Forward-looking information
This annual report contains or incorporates by reference statements that constitute “forward-looking statements,” in that they include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our directors and officers with respect to our future operating performance. Such statements include any forecasts, projections and descriptions of anticipated cost savings or other synergies. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. You should be aware that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors (including, without limitations, the actions of competitors, future global economic conditions, market conditions, foreign exchange rates, and operating and financial risks related to managing growth and integrating acquired businesses), many of which are beyond our control. The occurrence of any such factors not currently expected by us would significantly alter the results set forth in these statements. You should not place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date that they were made. Our independent auditors have not examined or compiled the forward-looking statements and, accordingly, do not provide any assurance with respect to such statements. These cautionary statements should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we might issue in the future. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements after filing of this annual report to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

D. Risk Factors
The Company is subject to various economic, political, social and competitive conditions. Any of the following risks, if they materialize, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.
Risks Related to our Company
We rely heavily on our relationship with The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”) which has substantial influence over our business and operations
Approximately 82% of our net sales in 2012 were derived from the distribution of Coca-Cola soft drinks and 15% from the distribution of other beverages bearing trademarks owned by TCCC. We produce, market and distribute Coca-Cola products through standard bottler agreements between our bottler
subsidiaries and, in each case, the local subsidiary of TCCC or, in the case of fruit juices and nectars, The Minute Maid Company, a subsidiary of TCCC. TCCC has the ability to exercise substantial influence over our business through its rights under the Bottler Agreements. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Bottler Agreements.” Under the Bottler Agreements, TCCC unilaterally sets the prices for Coca-Cola soft drink concentrates and Coca-Cola beverages (in the case of soft drinks pre-mixed by TCCC) sold to us. TCCC also monitors pricing changes we institute and has the right to review and approve our marketing, operational and advertising plans. These factors may impact our profit margins which could adversely affect our net income and results of operations. Our marketing campaigns for all Coca-Cola products are designed and controlled by TCCC. Pursuant to the Bottler Agreements, we are required to submit a business plan to TCCC for prior approval on a yearly basis. In accordance with the Bottler Agreements, TCCC may, among other things, require that we demonstrate financial ability to meet our business plan and if we are not able to demonstrate our financial capacity TCCC may terminate our rights to produce, market and distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages in territories where we have such approval. Under the Bottler Agreements, we are prohibited from producing, bottling, distributing or selling any products that could be substituted for, be confused with or be considered an imitation of, Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages and products.
We depend on TCCC to renew the Bottler Agreements which are subject to termination by TCCC in the event we default or upon expiration of their respective terms. We cannot assure you that the Bottler Agreements will be renewed or extended upon their expiration, and even if they are renewed, we cannot be certain that renewal will be granted on the same terms as those currently in effect. Termination, non-extension or non-renewal of any of the Bottler Agreements would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
In addition, any acquisition we make of bottlers of Coca-Cola products in other countries may require, among other things, the consent of TCCC under bottler agreements to which such other bottlers are subject. We cannot assure you that TCCC will consent to any future geographic expansion of our Coca-Cola beverage business. In addition, we cannot assure you that our relationship with TCCC will not undergo significant changes in the future. If such changes do occur, our operations, and financial results and condition could be materially affected.
Our business is highly competitive and subject to price competition which may adversely affect our net profits and margins
The soft drink and non-alcoholic beverage businesses are highly competitive in each of our Company’s franchise territories. In our franchise territories we compete with bottlers of regional brands, including low cost “B brand” beverages and Pepsi products. In Argentina and Brazil we compete with Companhia de Bebidas das Americas, commonly referred to as AmBev, the largest brewer in Latin America and a subsidiary of InBev S.A., which sells Pepsi products, in addition to a portfolio that includes local brands with flavors such as guaraná. This competition is likely to continue, and we cannot assure you that it will not intensify in the future which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — Part B. Business Overview— Soft Drink Business—Competition.”
Changes in the nonalcoholic beverages business environment could adversely affect our financial results
The nonalcoholic beverages business environment is rapidly evolving as a result of, among other things, changes in consumer preferences, including changes based on health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns, shifting consumer tastes and needs, changes in consumer lifestyles and competitive product and pricing pressures. In addition, the industry is being affected by the trend toward consolidation in the retail channel. If we are unable to successfully adapt to this rapidly changing environment, our net income, share of sales and volume growth could be negatively affected.
Raw material prices may be subject to U.S. dollar/local currency exchange risk and price volatility which could increase our costs of operations
Numerous raw materials, including sugar and resin, are used in producing beverages and containers. We purchase raw materials from both domestic and international suppliers. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Part B. Business Overview—Soft Drink Business—Raw Materials and Supplies.” Because the prices of raw materials are fixed in U.S. dollars, we are subject to local currency risk in each of our operations. If the Chilean peso, Brazilian real or Argentine peso were to depreciate significantly against the U.S. dollar, the cost of certain raw materials could rise significantly, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that these currencies will not lose value against the U.S. dollar in the future. Additionally, some raw materials prices are subject to high volatility that could also have a material negative effect over our profitability.
Instability in the supply of utility services and oil prices may adversely impact our results of operations
Our operations depend on a stable supply of utilities and fuel in the countries where we operate that the Company cannot assure fluctuations in oil prices have adversely affected our cost of energy and transportation in the four countries we operate and we expect that they will continue to do so in the future. We believe that the increase of energy prices will not have a significant effect over our results of operations.
Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact the Company’s production costs and capacity.
Water is the main ingredient in substantially all of our products. It is also a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing pollution and poor management. As demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as the quality of available water deteriorates, the Company may incur increasing production costs or face capacity constraints that could adversely affect our profitability or net operating revenues in the long run.
Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of affected products.
The countries in which we operate, may adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements relating to the chemical content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain of the Coca-Cola products. These types of requirements, if they become applicable to one or more of the Coca-Cola products under current or future environmental or health laws or regulations, may inhibit sales of such products.
If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for digital marketing activities and electronic communications among the Company and our clients, suppliers and also among our subsidiaries. Security breaches of this infrastructure can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. If we are unable to prevent such breaches, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer financial damage or loss because of lost or misappropriated information.
Perception of risk in emerging economies may impede our access to international capital markets, hinder our ability to finance our operations and adversely affect the market price of our common shares and American Depositary Receipts.
As a general rule, international investors consider Argentina and Paraguay, and to a lesser extent Chile and Brazil, to be emerging market economies. Consequently, economic conditions and the market for securities of emerging market countries influence investors’ perceptions of Chile, Brazil and Argentina and their evaluation of companies’ securities located in these countries.
During periods of heightened investor concern regarding emerging market economies, in particular Argentina and to a lesser extent Brazil and Paraguay, have experienced significant outflows of U.S. dollars.
In addition, in these periods Brazilian, Argentine and Paraguayan companies have faced higher costs for raising funds, both domestically and abroad, as well as limited access to international capital markets, which have negatively affected the prices of the aforementioned countries securities. Although economic conditions are different in each of the emerging-market countries, investors’ reactions to developments in one of these countries may affect the securities of issuers in the others, including Chile. For example, adverse developments in other developing or emerging market countries may lead to decreased investor interest in investing in Chile or in the securities of Chilean companies, including securities of the Company.
It may be difficult to enforce civil liabilities against us or our directors, executive officers or controlling persons
We are a sociedad anónima, or stock corporation, organized under the laws of Chile. Some of our directors, executive officers and controlling persons reside in Chile or outside of the United States. In addition, all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons and of our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons, or to enforce against them in U.S. courts judgments predicated upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or otherwise obtained in U.S. courts. Because our assets are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be fully collectible in the United States.
If we experience strikes, work stoppages or labor unrest, our business would suffer.
Strikes, work stoppages or other forms of labor unrest at any of our production facilities could impair our ability to supply products to customers, which would reduce our revenues and could expose us to customer claims.
Regulatory Risks
We are subject to regulation in each of the territories in which we operate. The principal areas in which we are subject to regulation are water, environment, labor, taxation, health and antitrust. Regulation could also affect our ability to set prices for our products. The adoption of new laws or regulations or a stricter interpretation or enforcement thereof in the countries in which we operate may increase our operating costs or impose restrictions on our operations which, in turn, may adversely affect our financial condition, business and results. Further changes in current regulations may result in an increase in compliance costs, which may have an adverse effect on our future results or financial condition.
Voluntary price restraints or statutory price controls have been imposed historically in several of the countries in which we operate. Currently there are no price controls applicable to our products in any of the territories in which we operate, other than in Argentina, were there are voluntary price restraints. There are currently no published laws or regulations imposing price controls on our products in Argentina. Nonetheless, the company has assented to the request by Argentine Government authorities to maintain prices of certain products sold through supermarkets. The imposition of these restrictions or voluntary price restraints in Argentina or other territories may have an adverse effect on our results and financial condition. We cannot assure you that government authorities in Argentina or in any country in which we operate will not impose statutory price controls, or that we will not be asked to accept further voluntary price restraints in the future.
The countries in which we operate may adopt new tax laws or modify existing laws to increase taxes applicable to our business.
We cannot assure you that any governmental authority in any country where we operate will not impose new taxes or increase taxes on our products in the future. The imposition of new taxes or increases in taxes on our products may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects and results.
For example, in Chile, a tax reform became effective on 2011, pursuant to which there was a temporary increase in the income tax rate from 17% to 20%, to finance the reconstruction of the country after the earthquake of 2010. Pursuant to an amendment issued on 2012, the 20% income tax rate will continue to apply through 2013 and onwards.
In Brazil, the federal taxes applied on the production and sale of beverages are based on the national average retail price, calculated based on a yearly survey of each Brazilian beverage brand, combined with a fixed tax rate and a multiplier specific for each class of presentation (glass, plastic or can). On October 1, 2012, a number of changes to the federal taxes on beverages became effective. These changes include the increase of the multipliers used to calculate soft drink taxes sold in cans or glass bottles. As of effectiveness, the multiplier for cans increased from 30.0% to 31.9%, and as of October 2014, the multiplier will further be increased gradually to 38.1% by October 1, 2018. The multiplier for glass bottles increased from 35.0% to 37.2% as of effectiveness, and as of October 2014, the multiplier will further be increased gradually to 44.4% by October 1, 2018. In addition, the amendment suspended the 50% production tax benefit that had previously applied to juice-added soft drinks, and raised the rate for such beverages to the level currently applied to cola beverages. In addition to the changes in the federal sales taxes on soft drinks, there was a reduction in the federal production tax rate on concentrate, from 27.0% to 20.0%. This reduction reduces the tax credit on the purchase of concentrate.
Risks Relating to Chile
Our growth and profitability depend on economic conditions in Chile
Approximately 49% of our assets and 32% of our net sales in 2012 were derived from our operations in Chile. Thus, our financial condition and results of operations depend significantly on economic conditions prevailing in Chile. According to data published by the Central Bank, the Chilean economy grew at a rate of 6.1% in 2010, 6.0 % in 2011 and 5.6% in 2012. Our financial condition and results of operations could also be adversely affected by changes over which we have no control, including, without limitation:
· the economic or other policies of the Chilean government, which has a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector;
· other political or economic developments in or affecting Chile;
· regulatory changes or administrative practices of Chilean authorities;
· inflation and governmental policies to combat inflation;
· currency exchange movements; and
· global and regional economic conditions.
Inflation in Chile may disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations
The annual rates of inflation in Chile which in 2010, 2011 and 2012 were 3.0%, 4.4% and 1.5%, respectively (as measured by changes in the consumer price index and as reported by the Chilean National Institute of Statistics) could adversely affect the Chilean economy and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that, under competitive pressure, we will be able to realize price increases, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, an important part of our financial debt is UF denominated, this is, linked to the inflation of the country, and therefore the value of the debt reflects any increase of the inflation in Chile.
The Chilean peso is subject to depreciation and volatility which could adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities
The Chilean government’s economic policies and any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, could adversely affect our operations and financial results and the dollar value of an investor’s return. The Chilean peso has been subject to large nominal devaluations in the past and may be
subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Based on the Observed Exchange Rates for U.S. dollars in the period from 2010 to 2012 the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar appreciated 5.62% in nominal terms. During 2012 the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar depreciated 0.5% in nominal terms. See “Item 3. Key Information-Exchange Rates.”
Our Class A shares and Class B shares are traded in Chilean pesos on the Chilean Stock Exchanges. Cash distributions with respect to the shares will be received in Chilean pesos by the depositary, currently The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (as depositary for the Series A and Series B shares represented by the Series A and Series B ADRs), which will convert such Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate to make U.S. dollar payments in respect of the ADRs. If the value of the Chilean peso depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of the ADRs and any distributions to be received from the depositary would be adversely affected. In addition, the depositary will incur costs (to be ultimately borne by the ADR holders) in connection with the foreign currency conversion and subsequent distribution of dividends or other payments with respect to our ADRs.
Exchange controls and withholding taxes in Chile may limit repatriation of foreign investments
Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents are generally subject to various exchange control regulations that govern the convertibility and repatriation of the investments and earnings. The ADRs are governed by an Agreement among us, the depositary and the Central Bank of Chile (the “Foreign Investment Agreement”). The Foreign Investment Agreement guarantees the depositary and the ADR holders access to Chile’s Formal Exchange Market, permits the depositary to remit dividends it receives from us to the ADR holders and permits the holders of ADRs to repatriate the proceeds of the sale of shares withdrawn from the ADR facility, thereby enabling them to acquire currencies necessary to repatriate investments in the shares and earnings there from. Pursuant to current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Agreement may not be amended unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile, and there are judicial precedents (which are not binding with respect to future judicial decisions) indicating that the Foreign Investment Agreement may not be voided by future legislative changes.
Dividends received by ADR holders of are paid net of foreign currency exchange fees and expenses of the depositary and are subject to Chilean withholding tax, currently imposed at a rate of 35%, subject to credits in certain cases as described under “Item 10. Additional Considerations —Tax Considerations Relating to Equity Securities”.
We cannot assure you that additional restrictions applicable to ADR holders , the disposition of the shares underlying the ADRs and the convertibility and/or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition or the payment of dividends will not be imposed in the future, nor can we advise as to the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed. If for any reason, including changes in the Foreign Investment Agreement or Chilean law, the depositary was unable to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars, investors would receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in Chile and in Chilean pesos.
Risks Relating to Brazil
Our business is dependent to some extent on economic conditions in Brazil
Approximately 21% of our assets and 38% of our consolidated net sales in 2012 were derived from our operations in Brazil. Because demand for soft drinks and beverage products is usually correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the relevant local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country in which the market is located, our financial condition and results of operations to a considerable extent are dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing in Brazil. According to data available to general public, the Brazilian economy grew at a rate of 7.5% in 2010, 2.7% in 2011 and 1.0% in 2012.
The Brazilian government exercises influence over the Brazilian economy, which together with historically volatile Brazilian political and economic conditions, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the market price of our shares and ADRs
Historically, the Brazilian government has changed monetary, credit, tariff, and other policies to influence the course of Brazil’s economy. Such government actions have included wage and price controls as well as other measures such as freezing bank accounts, imposing exchange controls and imposing limits on imports and exports. Changes in policy and other political and economic developments could adversely affect the Brazilian economy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that present economic conditions and policies intended to promote a sustainable economic development will continue.
Although inflation in Brazil has stabilized in recent years, increased inflation may adversely affect the operations of Andina Brazil which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations
As measured by the Brazilian Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor or INPC, inflation in Brazil was 6.5%, 6.1% and 6.2% in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Increased inflation rates may result in lower consumer purchasing power on behalf of consumers and lower sales volume for Andina Brazil. We cannot assure you that levels of inflation in Brazil will not increase in future years and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Inflationary pressures may lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that could adversely affect the results of operations of Andina Brazil and consequently our financial condition and results of operations and the market price of our shares and ADSs.
The Brazilian real is subject to depreciation and volatility which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
During 2010, the real apreciated 4.3% against the U.S. dollar compared to the prior year period. Nevertheless in 2011 and 2012 it depreciated 12.6% and 8.9%, which had an impact in the financial condition and results of operations of our Brazilian subsidiary.
Depreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar may increase the cost of servicing foreign currency-denominated debt that we may incur in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, depreciation of the real can create inflationary pressures in Brazil that may negatively affect our results of operations. Depreciation generally curtails access to international capital markets and combined with other macroeconomic aspects, may prompt recessionary government intervention. It also reduces the U.S. dollar value of our revenues, distributions and dividends, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the market price of our common shares. On the other hand, the appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar may lead to the deterioration of Brazil’s public accounts and balance of payments, as well as to lower economic growth from exports.
The Brazilian government imposes certain restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad which could affect the timing and amount of any dividend or other payment we receive
Brazilian law guarantees foreign shareholders of Brazilian companies the right to repatriate their invested capital and to receive all dividends in foreign currency provided that their investment is registered with Brazil’s Central Bank. We registered our investment in Andina Brazil with the Brazilian Central Bank on October 19, 1995. Although dividend payments related to profits obtained subsequent to January 1, 1996 are not subject to income tax, after the sum of repatriated capital and invested capital exceeds the investment amount registered with the Brazilian Central Bank, repatriated capital is subject to a capital gains tax of 15%. Under current Chilean tax law, we will realize a tax credit in respect of all Brazilian taxes paid relating to Andina Brazil. There can be no assurance that the Brazilian government will not impose additional restrictions or modify existing regulations that would have an adverse effect on an investor’s ability to repatriate funds from Brazil nor can there be any assurance of the timing or duration of such restrictions, if imposed in the future.
Risks Relating to Argentina
Our business is dependent to some extent on economic conditions in Argentina
Approximately 13% of our assets and 27% of our net sales in 2012 were derived from our operations in Argentina. Because demand for soft drinks and beverage products usually is correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country, the financial condition and results of operations of our franchise in Argentina are, to a considerable extent, dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing in Argentina.
GDP growth in Argentina was 9.2% in 2010, 8.3% in 2011 and 2.0% in 2012. Facing the international financial crisis, the public sector did not default and carried out payments using the reserves of Argentina’s Central bank and loans from Banco de la Nación Argentina, generating new and significant macroeconomic policy challenges. Although Argentina managed to roll with the punches of a recessive year and an international crisis without upsetting the main financial variables, we cannot assure that economic conditions in Argentina will continue improving or that our operations will continue experiencing good results.
Political and economic instability may recur which could have a material adverse effect on our Argentine operations and on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the period from 1998 through 2003, Argentina experienced acute economic problems that culminated with the restructuring of substantially all of Argentina’s sovereign bond indebtedness. A succession of presidents were inaugurated during this crisis period and various states of emergency were declared that suspended civil liberties and instituted restrictions on transfers of funds abroad and foreign exchange controls, among other measures. Argentina’s GDP contracted 10.9% in 2002. Beginning 2003, Argentine GDP began to recover and from 2004 to 2008 recorded an average rate of growth of 8.4%. In the political environment, legislative elections carried out in June of 2009 were a misfortune for the government’s political party losing the majority in both houses. This new political scenario in Argentina could make the executive power need to arrive at a consensus with the opposition regarding rules and regulations in order for them to be approved by the legislative power.
The macroeconomic condition in Argentina has been characterized by:
· increased inflation which has been slightly controlled by price control;
· deeper state of intervention in the economy;
· fiscal deficit ; and
· strong salary pressures.
The Argentine government continues to face significant exposure to litigation from holders of its defaulted debt that did not participate in the Argentine government’s exchange offer.
The Argentine government could impose certain restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad which could affect the timing and amount of any dividends or other payment we receive from our Argentine franchise
Under current Argentine law, we may declare and distribute dividends with respect to our Argentine subsidiary and our Argentine banks may lawfully process payments of those dividends to us and other non-resident shareholders. Our declaration and distribution of dividends is subject to certain statutory requirements and must be consistent with our audited financial statements. The processing of payment of dividends by our Argentine banks is subject to Argentine Central Bank regulations, including verification of our Argentine subsidiary’s compliance with foreign debt and direct investment disclosure obligations. In addition to statutory and administrative rules affecting our Argentine subsidiary’s payment of dividends, during 2012 the Argentine Government imposed discretionary restrictions on Argentine companies as part of a policy to limit outbound transfers of U.S. dollars. These de facto restrictions essentially halted dividend payments to non-resident shareholders. The Argentine Government has begun to relax these restrictions. Nonetheless, we cannot give any assurances that we will be able to cause our Argentine subsidiary to
distribute dividends to its non-resident shareholders now or in the foreseeable future, despite otherwise meeting all statutory and regulatory requirements for payment.
Argentina’s government may impose certain restrictions on imports which could have an impact in our operation.
Argentina’s government could eventually limit our access to foreign exchange to pay for imports, and also could restrict raw materials or machinery imports, which are necessary for our operation in the country.
Inflation in Argentina may adversely affect our operations which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations
Argentina has experienced high levels of inflation in recent decades, resulting in large devaluations of its currency. Argentina’s historically high rates of inflation resulted mainly from its lack of control over fiscal policy and the money supply. The official annual rates of inflation (published by INDEC-Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos- National Statistics and Census Institute as measured by changes in the consumer price index) between 2010, 2011 and 2012 were, 10.9%, 9.5% and 10.8%, respectively for each year. High levels of inflation in Argentina could adversely affect the Argentine economy and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In the last years the accuracy of the national accounts of Argentina was questioned by some international public organizations.
The Argentine peso is subject to depreciation and volatility which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
During 2012, the exchange rate in Argentina underwent a depreciation of 13.8%. The Argentine government’s economic policies and any future devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The Argentine peso has been subject to large devaluations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.
We cannot assure you that the policies to be implemented by the Argentine government in the future will stabilize the value of the Argentine peso against foreign currencies
Risks Related to Paraguay
Our business is dependent to some extent on economic conditions in Paraguay
Approximately 17% of our assets and 3% of our net sales in 2012 were derived from our operations in Paraguay. Since the demand for soft drinks and drinks is generally related to the economic conditions prevailing in the local market which, in turn, depend on the macroeconomic and political conditions of the country, our financial situation and our operations results could be adversely affected by changes in these factors over which we have no control.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2012 reveals a contraction of the real economy of around -1.2% compared to the previous year, result it is interrupted two years of a very good behavior of the economic activity (4% in 2011 and 15% in 2010),
The economic performance in 2012 was influenced by a predominant factor that motivated a declination in economic activity: the effects of the drought that had a negative impact in the agricultural industry for 2011/2012, mainly on soybeans, corn and sunflower crops, in addition to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease detected in the last months of 2011 that resulted in the closing of markets for Paraguayan meat and has had an effect in the reduction of the levels of slaughtering during the first half of this year which, however, was reversed during the second half of the year, experiencing a significant upturn with the return of more than 20 markets for Paraguayan meat.
Inflation in Paraguay may adversely affect our operations which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations
Inflation during 2012 was 4%, below 4,9% in 2011 and 7,2% in 2010. This annual inflationary result implies that the total inflation has, for the sixth consecutive year, a one-digit figure and is below the top of the target range (7,5%).
An increase in the inflation could decrease the purchasing power of our consumers, which could have an effect in our volume growth and therefore, could have an impact in our sales income. We can’t assure you that the Paraguayan inflation will continue to be under the current levels.
The Paraguayan Guaraní is subject to depreciation and volatility which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
The exchange rate is free and fluctuant and the BCP participate in the exchange market in order to smooth abrupt oscillations.
In 2012, the local currency appreciated in 3.0%. Nevertheless, it was very variable during the year. It was appreciated during the first quarter to then become strongly depreciated (around 11%), as a result of the lower export earnings to then be stabilized towards the last quarter of the year, closing 2012 with an appreciation of around 3%.
An important depreciation of the local currency could adversely affect our financial situation and financial results, because 25% of our total costs of raw materials and supplies are in dollars, as well as other expenses such as professional fees and maintenance costs.
Risk Factors Relating to the ADRs and Common Stock
Preemptive rights may be unavailable to ADR holders
According to the Ley de Sociedades Anónimas No. 18.046 and the Reglamento de Sociedades Anónimas (collectively, the “Chilean Companies Law”), whenever we issue new shares for cash, we are required to grant preemptive rights to holders of our shares (including shares represented by ADRs), giving them the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. However, we may not be able to offer shares to United States holders of ADRs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is effective with respect to such rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is available.
Under the procedure established by the Central Bank of Chile, the foreign investment agreement of a Chilean company with an existing ADR program will become subject to an amendment (which will also be deemed to incorporate all laws and regulations applicable to international offerings in effect as of the date of the amendment) that will extend the benefits of such contract to new shares issued pursuant to a preemptive rights offering to existing ADR owners and to other persons residing and domiciled outside of Chile that exercise preemptive rights, upon request to the Central Bank of Chile. We intend to evaluate at the time of any rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with any such registration statement as well as the indirect benefits to us of enabling United States ADR holders to exercise preemptive rights and any other factors that we consider appropriate at the time, and then make a decision as to whether to file such registration statement.
We cannot assure you that any registration statement would be filed. To the extent ADR holders are unable to exercise such rights because a registration statement has not been filed, the depositary will attempt to sell such holders’ preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds thereof if a secondary market for such rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of any such sale. If such rights cannot be sold,
they will expire and ADR holders will not realize any value from the grant of such preemptive rights. In any such case, such holder’s equity interest in the Company would be diluted proportionately.
Shareholders’ rights are less well defined in Chile than in other jurisdictions, including the United States
Under the United States federal securities laws, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules that apply to domestic United States issuers with equity securities registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the proxy solicitation rules, the rules requiring disclosure of share ownership by directors, officers and certain shareholders. We are also exempt from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., including the requirements concerning independent directors.
Our corporate affairs are governed by the laws of Chile and our estatutos or bylaws, which function not only as our bylaws but also as our articles of incorporation. Under such laws, our shareholders may have fewer or less well-defined rights than they might have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction.
Pursuant to Law No. 19,705, enacted in December 2000, the controlling shareholders of an open stock corporation can only sell their controlling shares via a tender offer issued to all shareholders in which the bidder would have to buy all the offered shares up to the percentage determined by it, when the price paid is substantially higher than the market price (that is, when the price paid was higher than the average market price of a period starting 90 days before the proposed transaction and ending 30 days before such proposed transaction, plus 10%).
The market for our shares may be volatile and illiquid
The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. The Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”), which is Chile’s principal securities exchange, had a market capitalization of approximately US$313,456 million at December 31, 2012 and an average monthly trading volume of approximately US$3,870 million for 2012. The lack of liquidity owing, in part, to the relatively small size of the Chilean securities markets may have a material adverse effect on the trading prices of our shares. Because the market for our ADRs depends, in part, on investors’ perception of the value of our underlying shares, this lack of liquidity for our shares in Chile may have a significant effect on the trading prices of our ADRs.

History
In 1941, The Coca-Cola Company licensed a private Chilean company to produce Coca-Cola soft drinks in Chile, and production began in 1943. In 1946, the original licensee withdrew from the license arrangement, and a group of U.S. and Chilean investors formed Andina, which became The Coca-Cola Company’s sole licensee in Chile. Between 1946 and the early 1980s, Andina developed the Chilean market for Coca-Cola soft drinks with a system of production and distribution facilities covering the central and southern regions of Chile. In the early 1980s, Andina sold its Coca-Cola licenses for most areas outside the Santiago metropolitan region and concentrated on the development of its soft drink business in the Santiago area. Although no longer the sole Coca-Cola bottler in Chile, Andina has been the principal manufacturer of Coca-Cola products in Chile for an uninterrupted period of 66 years.
In 1985, a majority of Andina’s shares was acquired by four Chilean families who compromise Inversiones Freire Ltda. (“Freire” or “the Controlling Shareholders”). On December 31, 2012, the Controlling Shareholders owned 55.3% of our outstanding Series A shares, which have preferred voting rights and thereby control the Company; and 45.3% of our outstanding Series B shares, consequently the Controlling Shareholders of Andina hold a 50.3% ownership interest in the Company. Further information regarding our Controlling Shareholders can be found on page 114 of our 2012 Annual Report which is available at our website: www.koandina.com.
Andina Brazil, our Brazilian subsidiary, began production and distribution of Coca-Cola soft drinks in Rio de Janeiro in 1942. In June 1994, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Andina Brazil for approximately US$120 million and contributed an additional US$31 million to Andina Brazil’s capital immediately after the acquisition to repay certain indebtedness of Andina Brazil. In 2000, we purchased through Andina Brazil, from the Coffin Group, a Coca-Cola franchise license for a territory in Brazil comprising the State of Espírito Santo and part of the States of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais (NVG), for US$74.5 million. NVG was merged into Andina Brazil in 2000, and its operations were integrated with Andina Brazil in 2001. In 2004, Andina Brazil entered into a franchise swap agreement with the Brazilian subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company, Recofarma Indústria do Amazonas Ltda., for (1) an exchange of franchising rights, goods and other assets of Andina Brazil in the territory of Governador Valadares in the State of Minas Gerais, and (2) other franchise rights of The Coca-Cola Company in the territories of Nova Iguaçu in the state of Rio de Janeiro, which was previously owned by Companhia Mineira de Refrescos S.A. In 2007 TCCC along with the Coca-Cola bottlers in Brazil create a Joint Venture, Mais Indústria de Alimentos, in order to enhance the non-carbonated business for the entire System in that country, and in 2008 The Coca-Cola System acquires a second company that produces non carbonated beverages called Sucos del Valle do Brasil Ltda These two companies merged in 2011 and SABB (Sistema de Alimentos y Bebidas do Brasil) was created in which Andina Brazil holds a 5.74% ownership interest. In 2010 TCCC along with the Coca-Cola bottlers in Brazil acquired Leão Junior S.A. through a Joint Venture. Leão Junior S.A. among others, commercializes Matte Leão. This company has a consolidated presence and market share within the ready-to-drink teas category in Andina Brazil’s territory. Andina Brazil has an 18.20% ownership interest in Leão Junior S.A. Andina Brazil holds an average ownership interest of 10.74% in Leão Junior and SABB. In November, 2012 Andina Brazil materialized the acquisition of a 40% stake in Sorocaba Refrescos S.A., a Coca-Cola bottler located in the state of Sao Paulo, for $R146,946,004.
Production of Coca-Cola soft drinks in the Argentine territory began in 1943 with the start-up of operations in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, through Inti S.A.I.C., which we refer to as “INTI”. In July 1995, we (through Inversiones del Atlántico S.A., an investment company incorporated in Argentina), which we refer to as “IASA”, acquired a 59% interest in Edasa, the parent company of Rosario Refrescos S.A. and Mendoza Refrescos S.A. These entities were subsequently merged to create Rosario Mendoza Refrescos S.A., which we refer to as “Romesa”. In 1996 we acquired an additional 35.9% interest in Edasa, an additional 78.7% interest in Inti, a 100% interest in Cipet located in Buenos Aires (a PET plastic bottle and packaging business) and a 15.2% interest in Cican S.A. During 1997, the operations of Romesa were merged with INTI. In 1999, Edasa was merged into IASA. In 2000, IASA was merged into Inti, which in turn changed its
corporate name to Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. (EDASA). In 2002 Cipet merged into Edasa. During 2007 EDASA’s ownership interest in Cican S.A. was sold to Femsa. Currently, Edasa is the Coca-Cola bottler in the provinces of Entre Rios, San Luis, San Juan, Mendoza, part of Santa Fe and part of Buenos Aires (San Nicolás y Ramallo.)
In 1998, Andina repurchased from The Coca-Cola Company its 49% stake in Vital. Concurrently with that transaction, The Coca-Cola Company purchased Vital’s mineral water springs located at Chanqueahue, 80 miles south of Santiago. As part of the transaction, the Vital bottler agreement was replaced with a juice bottler agreement with Minute Maid International Inc., as well as a new mineral water bottling agreement with The Coca-Cola Company. In addition, the 1995 shareholders’ agreement between us and The Coca-Cola Company regarding ownership of Vital was terminated. The restructuring of the water and juice business in Chile enhanced our focus on the production of soft drinks, water and juice. During 2005, the production and packaging business of water, juice and non-carbonated beverages licensed by TCCC in Chile was restructured. Vital Aguas S.A., which we refer to as VASA, was created to develop the production and packaging businesses of Vital de Chanqueahue, mineral water and other water products. VASA is focused on developing juice and non-carbonated beverages. Andina, Embonor S.A. and Embotelladora Coca-Cola Polar S.A. own 56.5%, 26.4% and 17.1%, respectively, of the outstanding capital of VASA. During January of 2011, the juice business was restructured, allowing the incorporation of the other Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile to the property of Vital S.A. which changed its name to Vital Jugos S.A. Andina, Embonor S.A. and Embotelladora Coca-Cola Polar S.A. own 57%, 28% and 15%, respectively, of the outstanding capital of Vital Jugos S.A.
In Chile we participate in the business of producing PET bottles through a 50/50 joint venture we entered into with Cristalerías de Chile in the year 2001. On January 27, 2012, Coca-Cola Embonor through its subsidiary, Embonor Empaques S.A. acquired Cristalerías de Chile’s stake equivalente to a 50% ownership interest in Envases CMF.
On March 30, 2012, after completion of due-diligence procedures, the Company signed a Promissory Merger Agreement with Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. (“Polar”). Polar is also a Coca-Cola bottler with operations in: Chile, servicing territories in the II, III, IV, XI and XII regions; Argentina, servicing territories in Santa Cruz, Neuquén, El Chubut, Tierra del Fuego, Río Negro La Pampa and the western zone of the province of Buenos Aires; and Paraguay, servicing the whole country. The merger was made in order to reinforce the Company’s leadership position among Coca-Cola bottlers in South America.
Prior to closing, the merger was approved by the shareholders of both of the companies, as well as the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, and the Coca-Cola Company. The terms of the merger prescribed the exchange of newly issued Company shares at a rate of 0.33269 Series A shares and 0.33269 Series B shares, for each outstanding share of Polar. Prior to the materialization of the merger and the approval of the Shareholder Meetings of the Company and Polar, dividends were distributed among their respective shareholders, in addition to those already declared and distributed with charge to 2011 income. The dividends distributed by the Company and Polar amounted to Ch$28,155,862,307 and Ch$29,565,609,857 respectively, that represented Ch$35.27 per each share of the Series A and Ch$38.80 per each share of the Series B.
The physical exchange of shares took place on October 16, 2012, with which former shareholders of Polar then had a 19.68% ownership interest in the merged Company. Based upon the terms of the executed agreements, the actual control over day-to-day operations of Polar transferred to the Company as of October 1, 2012, and the Company began consolidating Polar’s operations from that date forward. Additionally and as a result of Embotelladora Andina becoming the legal successor of Polar’s rights and obligations, the Company indirectly acquired additional ownership interest in Vital Jugos S.A., Vital Aguas S.A. and Envases Central S.A. that added to its previous ownership interest in those entities. The Company’s current ownership enables it to exercise control over these entities, and thus incorporate them into the consolidation of the financial statements beginning October 1, 2012.
PARESA is the first authorized Coca-Cola Bottler Company in Paraguay, which started its operations in May 13, 1965. In 1967, Plant 1 was inaugurated with a capacity of 400,000 annual unit cases. In 1980, the Barcequillo Plant - located on Km 3.5 Barcequillo of the Ñemby route, in the City of San Lorenzo- was inaugurated, reaffirming and applying the concept of the highest end technology of bottling. Beginning in 2004, Paresa became property of the Grupo Polar from Chile, continuing its operations in the Paraguayan market. On October 1, 2012, Paresa became part of Grupo Coca-Cola Andina due to the merger of Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. into Embotelladora Andina S.A.
In 1996, our shareholders approved the Reclassification of Capital Stock, which we refer to as the “Reclassification”, of Andina’s common stock into two new series of shares. Pursuant to the Reclassification, each outstanding share of Andina’s common stock was replaced by one newly issued Series A share and one newly issued Series B share. The Series A and Series B shares are principally differentiated by their voting and economic rights. Therefore, and after the modification of our bylaws as of June 25, 2012, that increased the number of directors from 7 to 14 — and thus, eliminating the alternate directors- the holders of the Series A shares have full voting power and are entitled to elect 12 of 14 members of the board of directors, and the holders of the Series B shares have no voting rights but for the right to elect 2 members of the board of directors. In addition, holders of Series B shares are entitled to a dividend 10% greater than any dividend on Series A shares.
After the Reclassificaction, the Superintendence of Pension Fund Managers (Superintendencia de Administradores de Fondos de Pensiones) decreed that Chilean pension funds would not be permitted to acquire Series B Shares due to their limited voting rights. Later, during 2004, the Superintendence approved Series B shares as investment instruments for Chilean Pension funds. Series A shares have always been eligible as investment instruments.

Chile. As of December 31, 2012, Andina’s sales force consisted of 297 salespeople (262 workers hired indefinitely and 35 hired on a fixed term basis) who call on most customers on average 1.8 times per week. For sales to major supermarkets, we employ 6 key account heads, 20 field supervisors and 534 third party promoters who are on-site supervisors who handle our products, monitor displays and track the pricing and marketing strategies of our competitors. Account executives are also assigned to major fast food outlets to work with the customer to develop sales on a consistent basis. Our distribution system for our soft drink products consisted of a group of 67 exclusive distributors, which are independent businesses that collectively deploy approximately 571 trucks (30 of which are company property), depending on seasonal demand. The 67 distributors collectively service all of our Chilean customers. In most cases, the distributor collects payment from the customer in cash or check. Where applicable, the driver also either collects empty returnable glass or PET bottles of the same type and quantity as the bottles being delivered, or collects cash deposits for the net returnable bottles delivered. This task is particularly significant in the Chilean territory where returnable containers accounted for approximately 59% of total soft drinks volume in 2012. Certain important customers (such as supermarkets), maintain accounts receivables with us, which are settled on average every 45 days after invoices are issued. On average, accounts receivable from all clients are liquidated on a 20-day term.
Brazil. As of December 31, 2012, Andina Brazil’s sales force in Brazil consisted of an average of 1,325 salespeople (475 commercial representatives and 375 supermarket promoters, 29 unpackers y 77 field supervisors) divided into three major groups responsible for: (i) sales to key accounts and fast food chains (who purchase soft drinks in post-mix dispensers, in cans and bottles), (ii) sales to supermarkets (consisting of bottle and can sales) and (iii) all other traditional customers. Each of these three groups also manages sales of the other beverages (beer, water, juice, energy drinks and ready-to-drink tea) distributed by Andina Brazil. In Brazil, we generally distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks through a distribution system that includes: (i) trucks operated by independent distributors pursuant to exclusive distribution arrangements with us; (ii) trucks operated by independent transport companies on a non-exclusive basis and (iii) own trucks. In 2012, 10% was distributed by exclusive distributors, 85.5% by independent transport companies and (iii) 5% by our own trucks. Distribution of all of Andina Brazil’s beverages takes place from distribution centers and production facilities. In 2012, approximately 18% of Andina Brazil’ soft drink sales were paid for in cash at the time of delivery, 9% were paid by check and 73% were paid were paid with other bank securities with an average payment term of 13 days.
Argentina. As of December 31, 2012, our sales force in Argentina consisted of 642 employees, grouped in salespeople, merchandisers, and Contact Center personnel. In 2012, 70% of Edasa’s Coca-Cola soft drinks were distributed by direct distribution (trucking) and 30% by wholesale distribution. All of the direct distribution is done by a group of independent transport companies (each with three or more trucks). In 2012, approximately 75% of EDASA’s soft drink sales were paid for in cash and 25% were credit sales.
Paraguay: As of December 31, 2012, the sales force consisted of 282 people, grouped into sellers and shelf stackers or replenishers. Paresa distributed 71% Coca-Cola soft drinks through direct distribution, and 29% through wholesalers distributors. The frequency of visit of the direct sale is 1.6 times a week. For sales to important supermarkets, there is one key account manager, 5 sales people and 99 on-site outsourced sales promoters who handle our products, monitor exhibitions and follow up on our pricing strategies, exhibitions and the marketing of our competitors. There are also account executives appointed to major “fast food” chains that work with the client to develop sales in a consistent way. All direct distribution is done by a group of small truck businessmen. In 2012 approximately 64% of sales of Paresa soft drinks were paid in cash and 36% were credit sales.
Competition
We face intense competition throughout the franchise territories principally from bottlers of competing soft drink brands. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Company — Our business is highly competitive and subject to price competition which may adversely affect our net profits and margins.”
Chile. The soft drink segment of the Chilean beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to deliver product in popular bottle sizes, distribution capacity, and the amount of returnable bottles held by retailers or by consumers. Returnable bottles can be exchanged at the time of new purchases in lieu of paying a bottle deposit, thereby decreasing the purchase price. Our main competitor in the Chilean franchise territory is Embotelladora Chilenas Unidas or ECUSA, a subsidiary of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. or CCU, the major brewer in Chile. ECUSA produces and distributes Pepsi-Cola products and its own brands (soft drinks and bottled water).
Brazil. The soft drink segment of the Brazilian beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising and distribution capacity (including the number and location of sales outlets). According to A.C. Nielsen, our main soft drink competitor in the Brazilian territory is American Beverage Company or Ambev, the largest beer producer and distributor in Brazil and also produces soft drinks, including Pepsi-Cola products.
Argentina. The soft drink segment of the Argentine beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to produce bottles in popular sizes and distribution capacity. The greatest competitor is Ambev, the Latin American unit of the largest brewery group of the world (Inbev) that produces and commercializes Pepsi-Cola products. As far as B-brands, the most significant are: Talca, Pritty and Interlagos representing over 60% of the volume for B-brands. Pritty S.A., a company established in the city of Córdoba, is dedicated to the production and sale of beverages without alcohol; it commercializes Pritty, Doble Cola, Saldán, Switty, Rafting, Hook and Magna. O.E.S.A., a preceding Pepsi bottler in the province of Mendoza, produces and commercializes soft drinks and soda water under the brand Talca. Embotelladora Comahue, located in Río Negro comercializes the brands Interlagos, Patagonia y Bardas Limay.
Paraguay: The soft drink segment of the Paraguayan beverage industry is highly competitive. The most important areas of competition are product image, pricing, advertising, ability to produce bottles in popular and the amount of returnable bottles held by retailers or by consumers.
The greatest competitor is the local brand “Niko/De La Costa” produced and bottled by Embotelladora Central S.A , which has a 20.7% market share. The segment of economic brands in Paraguay represents 29.6% of the soft drink industry. Pepsi which resumed its operations in Paraguay in November 2011, reached a market share of 10.2% in December 2012, and it is produced and marketed by Group Vierci, a local franchisee.
Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2012, our average soft drink market share within our franchise territories reached 69.5%, 59.1%, and 59.1% for Chile, Brazil, and Argentina, respectively. In the case of Paraguay, our average soft drink market share for October, November and December 2012 published by IPSOS reached 60,1%.

Seasonality
Each of our lines of business is seasonal. Most of our beverage products have their highest sales volumes during the South American summer (October through March), with the exception of nectar products, which have a slightly higher sales volume during the South American winter (April through September).
Raw Materials and Supplies(1)
The principal raw materials used in the production of Coca-Cola soft drinks are concentrate, sweetener, water and carbon dioxide gas. Production also requires glass and plastic bottles, bottle tops and labels. Water used in soft drink production is treated for impurities and adjusted for taste reasons. All raw materials, especially water, are subjected to continuous quality control.
Chile—Raw Materials. We purchase concentrate at prices established by TCCC. We mainly purchase sugar from Industria Azucarera Nacional S.A., IANSA and to Sucden Chile S.A., although we may purchase sugar in the international market when prices are favorable, and have done so on occasion.

Marketing
We and TCCC jointly promote and market Coca-Cola soft drinks in our franchise territories, in accordance with the terms of our respective Bottler Agreements. During 2012, we paid approximately 50% of the advertising and promotional expenses incurred by TCCC in our franchise territories. Nearly all media advertising and promotional materials for Coca-Cola soft drinks are produced and distributed by TCCC . See “Item 4. Information on the Company —Bottler Agreements.”
Channel Marketing. In order to provide more dynamic and specialized marketing of our products, our strategy is to divide our market into distribution channels. Our principal channels are small retailers, “on-premise” consumption such as restaurants and bars, supermarkets and third party distributors. Presence in these channels entails a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the purchasing patterns and preferences of various groups of soft drink consumers in each type of location or distribution channel. In response to this analysis, we seek to tailor our product, price, packaging and distribution strategies to meet the particular needs of and exploit the potential of each channel.
We believe that the implementation of our channel marketing strategy also enables us to respond to competitive initiatives with channel-specific responses as opposed to market-wide responses. This focused response capability isolates the effects of competitive pressure in a specific channel, thereby avoiding costlier market-wide responses. Our channel marketing activities are facilitated by our management information systems. We have invested significantly in creating such systems, including providing hand-held computer
and data gathering equipment to support the gathering of product, consumer and delivery information required to implement our channel marketing strategies effectively for most of our sales routes in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. We will continue investing to increase pre-sale coverage in our territories.
Our consolidated total advertising expenditures in 2012 were Ch$38,667 million.
Advertising
We advertise in all major communications media. We focus our advertising efforts on increasing brand recognition by consumers and improving our customer relations. National advertising campaigns are designed and proposed by TCCC ‘s local affiliates, with our input at the local or regional level.

(1)Reflects the sale of Vital Jugos and Vital Aguas to bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company.
(2)Includes sales to related companies which are eliminated upon consolidation.
Marketing. Marketing and promotional programs, including television, radio and print advertising, point-of-sale advertising, sales promotions and entertainment are developed by TCCC for all Vital Jugos’ and Vital Aguas’ products.
Customers and Distribution. Juices and waters throughout Chile are distributed by means of distribution agreements between TCCC and the Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile. In 2012, Andina distributed approximately 70% of the products of Vital Jugos and Vital Aguas, and the other Coca-Cola bottler in Chile distributed the remaining 30%. Each Coca-Cola bottler in Chile distributes the products of Vital Jugos and Vital Aguas in its respective franchise territory. Under Vital Jugos’ and Vital Aguas’ distribution agreements, each bottler has the exclusive right to distribute waters and juices in its territory.
Our management believes that our distribution arrangements for waters and juices provide an effective means of distributing those products throughout Chile using the extensive distribution system of the Coca-Cola bottlers. We have a good working relationship with the other Coca-Cola bottler that distribute waters and juices. If the other Coca-Cola bottler were to cease distribution, our management believes it could arrange alternative distribution arrangements, but the transition to the new arrangements could involve significant delays in distributing products and would involve additional costs and an initial reduction in sales.
Competition. Vital Aguas’ principal competitor regarding water is CCU with the Cachantún brand. Additionally there are low priced brands (B-brands) in the water segment in Chile. Vital Jugos S.A.’s principal competitors regarding juices are, Watt’s-CCU, Corpora Tres Montes and three of the leading dairy producers in Chile: Soprole S.A., Nestlé Chile S.A. and Loncoleche S.A., who is also a subsidiary of Watt’s S.A. During 2006, the largest Chilean brewery CCU acquires from Watts S.A. a 50% ownership interest of the juice brands in Chile, creating a joint venture for the management of this business area. The Chilean market for fruit-flavored beverages and waters also includes low-cost, lower-quality fruit juice concentrates and artificially flavored powdered beverage mixes. We do not consider these products to compete with our waters and juices business because we believe that these products are of lower quality and value.
Based on reports by A.C. Nielsen, we estimate that in 2012, our market share within our Chilean franchise territories reached 36.7% for the juice segment and 41.7% for waters.
Raw material for Juices. The principal raw materials used by Vital Jugos S.A. in the production of juices and as a percentage of total raw material costs, are sweeteners 13.2%, fruit pulp and juices 13.5%, flavors, aromas and citric acid 17.8%, containers 25.5% and wrapping material 4.7%, all of which during 2012 accounted for 81.1% of total costs for sales of juice, including packaging.
Raw materials for Waters: The principal raw materials used by Vital Aguas S.A. in the production of mineral water and purified unflavored and purified flavored water and as a percentage of total raw material costs are: Non-returnable PET packaging 42.7%, mineral water, flavor, aromas, sweeteners and citric acid 23.6%, packaging material 5.0%, caps 5.8% and carbonation 0.9%, all of which during 2012 accounted for 81.1% of total costs for sales of water, including packaging.
Beer, Juices and Waters in Brazil
Sales. In 2012, net sales of beer, juices, waters, tea based beverages, isotonics and energy drinks in Brazil were Ch$92,480 million, representing 7.9% of our consolidated net sales.
Andina Brazil uses its distribution system to distribute beer in the Brazilian territory. Andina Brazil started distributing beer in the 1980s as a result of the acquisition of Kaiser by a consortium of Coca-Cola bottlers (including Andina Brazil) in Brazil. In March 2002, the Canadian brewing company Molson Inc. acquired Cervejarias Kaiser S.A. (“Kaiser”). In 2006, Femsa acquired from Molson the controlling ownership interest over Kaiser y later in 2010 Heineken acquired the controlling interest of Femsa’s beer operation. Andina Brazil buys beer from Heineken at a price determined by Heineken and sells it to its customers with a fixed margin. In the case of certain discount sales that have been approved by Heineken, Heineken shares between 50% and 100% of the cost of such discounts. In 2012, Andina Brazil’s net sales of beer were Ch$25,320 million, of which Bavaria brand beer accounted for 44.4%, Heineken for 33.2%, Kaiser for 18.4%, Sol for 2.9%, y Xingú for 0.6%, and all the other brands accounted for 0.5% of net sales.
Competition. In the beer sector, Andina Brazil’s main competitor is Ambev that during 2012 had a very dominant position in the Brazilian market.
The Distribution Agreements. TCCC and the Brazilian Association of Coca-Cola Manufacturers entered into an agreement regarding the distribution through the Coca-Cola System of beer produced and imported by Heineken. The agreements were signed May 30, 2003, and are renewable for a period of 20 years.
Andina Brazil is not allowed to produce, bottle, sell or obtain any interest in any bottled or tap beer under any other label or in any bottle or packaging that could be confused with brand beers, except as may be mutually agreed in writing between Andina Brazil and Heineken.
Under the terms of the distribution agreement, Heineken undertakes all responsibility for planning and managing advertising, marketing and promotional activities related to beer. Andina Brazil, however, is free to undertake marketing or promotional activities with Heineken´s prior approval. The parties have agreed to assume joint responsibility for the costs of certain promotional activities (radio or television) and for certain outdoor events which take place in the Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo region. Andina Brazil has agreed to devote at least 2.3% of its sales net of taxes of Heineken products to such promotional activities or events.
Andina Brazil is prohibited from assigning, transferring, or otherwise encumbering the Heineken distribution agreement or any interest therein for the benefit of third parties without prior written consent from Heineken may terminate the distribution agreement immediately in the event that Andina Brazil (i) declares bankruptcy, is made a party to bankruptcy proceedings or is placed under judicial administration, (ii) is dissolved or liquidated or its assets are nationalized, expropriated, attached or intervened, (iii) undergoes a change of business or of control, (iv) ceases to be a franchisee of TCCC or (v) causes a material breach of the Heineken distribution agreement. In addition, Heineken may terminate the Heineken distribution agreement one year after delivery of notice that Andina Brazil is not complying with the terms thereof. Andina Brazil may terminate the Heineken distribution agreement in the event of a material breach thereof by Heineken.
3. PET Packaging
Overview and Background
We produce PET bottles in both returnable and non-returnable formats. As a returnable packaging material, PET has advantages compared to glass because it is lightweight, difficult to break, transparent and easily recyclable. On average, returnable PET bottles can be used up to 12 times. Non-returnable PET bottles also are produced in various sizes and are used by a variety of soft drink producers and, in Chile, by producers of edible oil products, wine and personal hygiene products.
In 2012, AEASA was one of the largest manufacturers of PET products in Argentina. In 2012, Andina Brazil purchased its PET preforms mainly from Brasalpla and also from Amcor and Owens-Illinois.
Sales . In 2012, AEASA had net sales of Ch$13.261 million with sales to EDASA amounting to Ch$5,522 million. AEASA also sold PET bottles to third parties accounting for approximately Ch$7,739 million.
Competition. We are suppliers of returnable and non-returnable PET bottles for Coca-Cola bottlers in Argentina and Chile. According to the pre-existing agreements between TCCC and the other Coca-Cola bottlers within South America, we must obtain the consent and assistance of TCCC to expand our sales of returnable PET bottles to said bottlers.
In Chile, we do not have any principal competitors in the non–returnable PET bottles market for oils, wines and personal hygiene. There are a few producers of non-returnable PET bottles in Chile who are significantly smaller than CMF. Plasco S.A., the second Chilean manufacturer of non-returnable PET bottles, does not compete with us because it is the exclusive supplier of PET bottles for ECUSA. (The Chilean Pepsi bottler).
In Argentina, we compete principally with Alpla S.A. and Amcor. AEASA is the supplier of returnable PET bottles to all Coca-Cola bottlers in Argentina.
4. Patents and Licenses
The Company has entered into Bottler Agreements with TCCC by which it has the license to produce and distribute Coca-Cola brand products within its operating franchise territories in Chile, Brazil and Argentina. The Company’s operations are highly dependent on maintaining and renewing the Bottler Agreements which provide for the production and distribution of Coca-Cola brand products.
Bottler Agreements
The Bottler Agreements are international standard contracts TCCC enters into with bottlers outside the United States for the sale of concentrates and beverage basis for certain Coca-Cola soft drinks and non-soft drink beverages.
Bottler Agreements are renewable upon request by the bottler and at the sole discretion of TCCC. We cannot assure you that the Bottler Agreements will be renewed upon their expiration, and even if they are renewed.
The Bottler Agreements provide that we will purchase our entire requirement of concentrates and beverage basis for Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages from The Coca-Cola Company and other authorized suppliers. Although under the Bottler Agreements TCCC, in its sole discretion, may set the price of concentrates and beverage basis, among other terms, we set the price of products sold to retailers at our discretion, subject only to certain price restraints.
We are the sole producer of Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages in our franchise territories. Although this right is not exclusive, TCCC has never authorized any other entity to produce or distribute Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages in such territories, although we cannot assure you that in the future it will not do so. In the case of post-mix soft drinks, the Bottler Agreements explicitly establish such non-exclusive rights.
The Bottler Agreements include an acknowledgment by us that TCCC is the sole owner of the trademarks that identify the Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages and of any secret formula used in concentrates.
All distribution must be in authorized containers. TCCC has the right to approve, at its sole discretion, any and all kinds of packages and containers for beverages, including their size, shape and any of their attributes. TCCC has the authority at its sole discretion to redesign or discontinue any package of any of the
Coca-Cola products, subject to certain limitations, so long as Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages are not all discontinued at the same time. We are prohibited from producing or handling any other beverage products, other than those of TCCC or other products or packages that would imitate, infringe or cause confusion with the products, trade dress, containers or trademarks of TCCC, or from acquiring or holding an interest in a party that engages in such activities. The Bottler Agreements also impose restrictions concerning the use of certain trademarks, authorized containers, packaging and labeling of TCCC and prohibit bottlers from distributing Coca-Cola soft drinks or other Coca-Cola beverages outside their designated territories.
The Bottler Agreements require us to maintain adequate production and distribution facilities; inventories of bottles, caps, boxes, cartons and other exterior packaging or materials; to undertake adequate quality control measures prescribed by TCCC; to develop, stimulate, and fully satisfy the demand for Coca-Cola soft drinks and other Coca-Cola beverages and to use all approved means, and spend such funds on advertising and other forms of marketing, as may be reasonably required to meet that objective; and to maintain such sound financial capacity as may be reasonably necessary to assure performance by us and our affiliates of our obligations to TCCC. All Bottler Agreements require us annually to submit our business plans for such franchise territories to TCCC, including without limitation, marketing, management and promotional and advertising plans for the following year.
TCCC has no obligation to contribute to our expenditures derived from advertising and marketing, but it may, at its discretion, contribute to such expenditures and undertake independent advertising and marketing activities, as well as cooperative advertising and sales promotion that would require our cooperation and support. In each of the franchise territories, TCCC has been contributing approximately 50% of advertising and marketing expenses, but no assurances can be given that equivalent contributions will be made in the future.
Each bottler is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, assigning, transferring or pledging its Bottler Agreement, or any interest therein, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the consent of TCCC, and each Bottler Agreement is subject to termination by TCCC in the event of default by us. Moreover, the bottler may not undergo a material change of ownership or control without the consent of TCCC.
TCCC may terminate a Bottler Agreement immediately, by written notice to the bottler, in the event that, inter alia, (i) the bottler suspends payments to creditors, declares bankruptcy, is declared bankrupt, is expropriated or nationalized, is liquidated, dissolved, changes its legal structure, or pledges or mortgages its assets; (ii) the bottler does not comply with instructions and standards established by TCCC relating to the production of its authorized soft drink products; (iii) the bottler ceases to be controlled by its controlling shareholders; or (iv) the terms of the Bottler Agreement come to violate applicable law.
Either party to any Bottler Agreement may, with 60 days’ notice thereof to the other party, terminate the Bottler Agreement in the event of non-compliance by the other party with the terms thereof so long as the party in non-compliance has not remedied such non-compliance during this period. In addition, if a bottler does not wish to pay the required price for concentrate for any Coca-Cola products, it must notify TCCC within 30 days of receipt of The Coca-Cola Company’s new prices. In the case of any Coca-Cola soft drink or other Coca-Cola beverages other than Coca-Cola concentrate, the franchise regarding such product shall be deemed automatically canceled three months after TCCC’ s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal. In the case of Coca-Cola concentrate, the Bottler Agreements shall be deemed terminated three months after TCCC’s receipt of the bottler’s notice of refusal. TCCC may also terminate the Bottler Agreements if the bottler or any individual or legal entity that controls, owns a majority share in or directly or indirectly influences the management of the bottler, engages in the production of any non-Coca-Cola beverage, whether through direct ownership of such operations or through control or administration thereof, provided that, upon request, the bottler shall be given six months to remedy such situation.
Chile Bottler Agreements: (i) . The licenses for the territories in Chile expire in 2013 and 2018; (ii) on December 22, 2005, Vital S.A. and The Coca-Cola Company entered into a Juice Bottler Agreement
by which The Coca-Cola Company authorized Vital S.A. to produce, prepare and bottle in packaging previously approved by TCCC the following brands: Andina Frut Andina Nectar, Kapo, Nestea, Fruitopia and Powerade. The Agreement will expire on December 31, 2015, and sets forth that Andina, and the other Chilean Coca-Cola bottler, Embonor, have the right to purchase products from Vital S.A. as well as produce, package, and sell these products at their respective production facilities; (iii) on December 22, 2005, Vital Aguas S.A. and TCCC entered into a Water Manufacturing and Packaging Agreement for the preparation and packaging of beverages that will be in effect until December 31, 2015, regarding the brands Vital, Chanqueahue, Vital de Chanqueahue, Benedictino, Dasani and Aquarius.

Argentina –Bottler Agreement: the licenses for the territories in Argentina expires in 2013 and 2017.
Paraguay–Bottler Agreement: the licenses for the territories in Paraguay will expire in 2014.
PET Agreements
On June 29, 2001, we and Cristalerías de Chile S.A. signed a series of contracts forming a joint venture for the development of a PET production facility in Chile through the formation of Envases CMF S.A. We contributed the assets necessary to further the development of the joint venture. Our subsidiary Andina Inversiones Societarias S.A. holds a 50% stake in the joint venture while Cristalerías de Chile S.A. retains the other 50% interest. On January 27, 2012, Coca-Cola Embonor through its subsidiary, Embonor Empaques S.A. acquired Cristalerías de Chile’s stake equivalente to a 50% ownership interest in Envases CMF.
5. Regulation
General
We are subject to the full range of government regulations generally applicable to companies engaged in business in our franchise territories, including but not limited to labor, social security, public health, consumer protection, environmental, sanitation, employee safety, securities and anti-trust laws. Currently, no material legal or administrative proceedings are pending against us with respect to any regulatory matter in any of our franchise territories except those listed as such in “Item 8. Financial Information—Legal Proceedings.” We believe, to the best of our knowledge that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutory and administrative regulations relating to our business in each of our franchise territories.
Chile. There are no special licenses or permits required to manufacture and distribute soft drinks and juices in the Chilean territory. Food and beverage producers in Chile, however, must obtain authorization from (and their activities are subject to supervision by) the Chilean Environmental Protection Services (Servicio Sanitario Metropolitano del Ambiente), which inspects production facilities and takes liquid samples for analysis on a regular basis. Our permit from the Chilean Environmental Protection Authority was obtained on January 8, 1992 and is in effect indefinitely. In addition, production and distribution of mineral water is subject to special regulations such that mineral water may be drawn only from sources designated for such purpose by presidential decree. Certification of compliance with such decree is provided by the National Health Service, the Undersecretary’s Office of the Ministry of Health (Servicio de Salud Metropolitano del Ambiente). Our mineral water production facilities have received the required certification.
Brazil. Labor laws, in addition to mandating employee benefits, include regulations to ensure sanitary and safe working conditions in our production facilities located in Brazil. Food and beverage producers in Brazil must register their products with and receive a ten-year permit from the Ministry of Agriculture and Provisioning and the Ministry of Health, which oversees diet products. Our permits from said Ministries are valid and in force for a term of ten years for each product we produce. Although we cannot assure you that they will be renewed, we have not experienced any material difficulties in renewing our permits in the past nor do we expect to experience any difficulties in the future. The Ministries do not regularly inspect facilities but they do send inspectors to investigate any complaints it receives.
Argentina. While most laws applicable to Edasa are enforced at the federal level, some, such as sanitary and environmental regulations, are primarily enforced by provincial and municipal governments. There are no licenses or permits required for the manufacture or distribution of soft drinks in the Argentine territory. However, our production facilities are subject to registration with federal and provincial authorities and to supervision by municipal health agencies, which certify compliance with applicable laws.
Environmental Matters
It is our policy to conduct environmentally sound operations on a basis consistent with applicable laws and with criteria established by TCCC. Although regulation of matters relating to the protection of the environment is not as well-developed in the franchise territories as in the United States and other industrialized countries, we expect that additional laws and regulations may be enacted in the future with respect to environmental matters that may impose additional restrictions on us which could materially or adversely affect our results of operations in the future. There are no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in any of the franchise territories with respect to environmental matters, and we believe that, to the best of our knowledge, we are in compliance in all material respects with all environmental regulations applicable to us.
Chile. The Chilean government has several regulations governing environmental matters relating to our operations, whereby, starting from the Constitution, the right of property is established, providing that restrictions to such right may be set by law, among which is the conservation of the environment.
For instance, Law 3,133 regulated discharge of residual industrial waste, and the Sanitary Code contains provisions relating to liquid and solid waste disposal, basic environmental conditions in the workplace, and the protection of water for human consumption. Supreme Decree No. 594, ensues from the Sanitary Code, which governs some matters related to solid and liquid wastes, among which stands out the prohibition to discharge hazardous substances into the public system or groundwater.
Law 19,300, passed in March 1994, addresses general environmental concerns that may be applicable to our activities and which, if applicable, would require us to hire independent experts to conduct environmental impact studies or declarations of any future projects or activities that could be impacted by the regulations of Law 19,300. This Law creates the National Commission on the Environment, which is supported by regional commissions to supervise environmental impact studies and declarations for all new projects, to enforce the regulations of Law 19,300 and to grant discretionary power to regulators. In January 2010 the law suffered an organic amendment with the enactment publication of Law 20,417, which created a new environmental institution, contemplating the creation of the Ministry of Environment, Environmental Assessment Services, the Superintendence of Environmental Protection and the Environmental Courts (3), which became effective on December 2012. In Particular, the Environmental Court in the Metropolitan Region shall begin functioning during the first half of 2013.
The first Environmental Court to start operating in other regions is the Court in Antofagasta and Coquimbo, and shall begin its in June 2013.
1. Waste Waters
1.1 Generals: In 1993, the Chilean government published regulations that updated the provisions of Law 3,133, which was finally repealed in 2002 by Law 19,821, which also reaffirmed the control of the Superintendence of Sanitary Services over industrial liquid waste These regulations place limits on the disposal of harmful substances which may be hazardous to water used in irrigation or water for consumption by people or animals without prior authorization from the Ministry of Public Works and a favorable determination from the Superintendence of Sanitary Services. The regulations also mandate governmental approval of any systems to treat or discharge liquid industrial waste (regulated by Supreme Decree 90 for discharges to open courses and by Supreme Decree 609 for discharges to sewage collectors, amended during 2000 by Supreme Decree 3592).
1.2 Santiago Plant: In 1996, we installed a liquid industrial waste treatment plant to comply with the Chilean liquid waste emissions standards, in effect since 1998. As of May of 2006, the first stages of liquid industrial waste treatment are done at our facilities and then it is completed at La Farfana. Currently there is an outsourcing agreement with the company Ecoriles for the treatment of liquid industrial waste.
1.3 Coquimbo Plant: The construction of the liquid industrial waste treatment plant-which is the Coquimbo Plant- was approved by Resolution Nº 042, dated April 9, 1999, issued by the CONAMA of the IV Region of Coquimbo. On December 1, 2004, an agreement was executed with the local sanitary company (Aguas del Valle S.A.) for the direct discharge of liquid waste into the sewage system. This agreement remains in full force and effect in case there are any complications with the operation of the waste water (riles) treatment plant. On December 28, 2005, through SISS EX Resolution No. 3854, the monitoring program of the Quality of the Effluent generated by our Riles treatment plant. Therefore, DS 609 that Establishes the Emission Standard for regulation of contaminants associated with industrial liquid waste discharges to sewage systems —started being fulfilled. On November 20, 2012, SISS EX Resolution No. 3854/2005, was amended by Resolution Ex. No. 5089. This involved the modification of the parameters for the monitoring of the treatment plant, specifically the extension of the pH operating range (5.5-9.0). The water obtained/used for the preparation of our products is obtained from the well built within our premises, thus the company is complying Res No. 425/2008 that sets a new text for the Resolution that establishes the standards of exploration and exploitation ground waters.
1.4 Punta Arenas Plant: Since 2005, it has its own effluent waters secondary treatment system, securing the compliance with the DS 609, with its own Environmental Qualification Resolution. This operation is carried out by specialist staff within the plant.
2. Solid Waste:
2.2 General: On the other hand, the management and disposal of the generated solid waste must be operated having operational and sanitary disposal authorizations. Both [authorizations] are granted by the Health SEREMI as set forth in Resolution No. 5081 (Non-hazardous residues) and in DS N° 148. Sanitary Regulations for Hazardous Waste Management.
The next challenge is the bill on the Extended Producer’s Responsibility (REP or EPR) that is currently being considered, which returns the responsibility of managing the waste to the companies that manufacture such products that transform into waste.
Extended Producer Responsibility requires that the companies that manufacture and /or sell products or containers become financially or physically responsible for such products after their lifespan expires, that is, the responsibility of the producers to arrange, using sustainable processes, the collection, recycling and disposal of waste generated at the end of its life span.
2.3 Santiago Plant: According to the arrangements that had been made in the Carlos Valdovinos Plant, as from August 2011 the Renca plant has a Solid Waste Management Center where the waste generated in the operation is temporarily stored in order to be sold (Non-hazardous waste) with the purpose of being recycled and destruct those that are hazardous.
Coquimbo Plant: In 2008, the Health SEREMI of the Region of Coquimbo, authorized through Exempt Resolution No. 2181, the SITIO DE ALMACENAMIENTO DE RESIDUOS PELIGROSOS (“HAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE SITE) (September 2, 2008). Since August 2012, our plant has a Management Center of Non-hazardous Solid Waste where the waste generated in the operation (recyclable and non-recyclable) is temporarily stored, and has different destinations: 1. returned to its vendor (to CMF); 2. sold (Non-hazardous recyclable waste) 3. sent to a Sanitary Landfill (waste similar to household).
Additionally, the muds generated in our effluent treatment plant are considered solid waste. Their disposal is authorized by Resolution Exempt No. 3854 dated December
28, 2005 issued by the Superintendency of Sanitary Services (SISS). Their definitive disposition is performed at the Panul – Coquimbo Landfill that is administered by Tasui Services S.A.
2.4 Punta Arenas Plant: The Punta Arenas Plant has a waste collection center that has all its health authorizations:
· Sanitary Authorization for the operation of a warehouse for the temporary storage of hazardous waste generated by the industry itself, as requested by DS 148.
· Sanitary authorization for the accumulation of liquid and solid industrial non-hazardous waste within the facility, as set forth in DS 594
3. Air pollution:
3.2 General: Emissions are regulated by several regulatory bodies, standing out, among others, the declaration of the metropolitan Region as a zone saturated of some contaminants, the obligation to compensate for emissions, the Air Pollution Prevention and Decontamination Plan for the Metropolitan Region, emission standards of particulate material and gases for stationary and group sources, the mandatory obligation to declare emissions of substances that deplete the ozone layer. Atmospheric emissions are regulated by several regulatory bodies:
· D.S. No. 4/1994 - Establece Norma de Emisión de Contaminantes Aplicables a los Vehículos motorizados y fija los procedimientos para su control (Establishes Pollutant Standard Applicable to motor vehicles and sets procedures for its control).
· D.S. 211/1991- Norma sobre Emisiones de Vehículos motorizados livianos (Emissions standard for light motor vehicles)
· D.S. 54/1994 - Establece Norma de Emisión aplicables a Vehículos motorizados mediano que Indica (Establishes Emission Standard applicable to the medium motor vehicles that it indicates)
· D.S. 149/2007 - Regula las Concentraciones de Contaminantes como el NO, CO y HC (Regulates the concentrations of pollutants such as NO, CO and HC).
· D.S. 144/1961 - Establece normas para evitar emanaciones o contaminantes atmosféricos de cualquier naturaleza (Establishes standards to prevent atmospheric emissions or pollutants of any kind).
· D.S. 138/2005 - Establece Obligación de Declarar las Emisiones de Fuentes Fijas (Establishes the obligation to report emissions from stationary sources)
· D.S. 48/1984 - Reglamento de Calderas y Generadores de Vapor (Regulation of boilers and steam generators).
· The D.S. 686- Norma de Emisión para la Regulación de la Contaminación Lumínica” (Emission Standard for Control of Light Pollution) adopted on August 2, 1999. It was created considering that the heavens of Regions II, III and IV of our country is a valuable environmental and cultural heritage to develop the astronomical observation activity.
· The D.S. No. 146 - Establece los niveles de ruido máximo que puede emitir una fuente fija y que afecte al entorno donde se encuentra ubicado esta fuente (Establishes the maximum levels of noise that emit a fixed source and affecting the environment where such source is located).
· In the case of Punta Arenas plant it complies with D.S. No. 48 — that requesting the registration of the boiler before the Health Ministerial Regional Secretariat. Regarding air emissions, it [plant] declares that is complies with what D.S. 138 provides. This boiler is not controlled, since it operates with natural gas which makes this operation organic since it is the fuel that least contaminates.
There can be no assurance that future legislative regulatory developments will not impose further restrictions that would be material to our operations in Chile. We believe that, to the best of our knowledge we are in compliance with all material aspects of the Chilean environmental regulations.
4. Certifications
4.2 Santiago Plant: In 2006 TCCC issued its audit regarding Certifications of Quality, Security and Environment Systems known as PHASE 3, and we have become the first
production facility in Chile to receive this certification with the maximum qualifications.. These certifications were revalidated according to the new KORE (Coca-Cola Requirements) dispositions beginning August 2010.
During 2005, our production facility in Chile , became the first plant in Latin America to achieve the four Quality System Certifications, Food Safety and Quality Management System (HACCP-Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), Environment (ISO 14001:2004), Security and Occupational Health (OHSAS 18001:1999) and Quality (ISO 9001:2000). Also in 2005 it achieves the National Award for Quality from Chilecalidad. In September of 2007 and 2010 these certifications were extended for another 3 years. Additionally during December 2010 we achieved certification for Food Safety Management (ISO 2200).
During 2011, with the new Renca Bottling facility beginning operations, the geographical spread of our integrated management system was expanded, in a first stage, certifying, the Quality Management System (ISO 9000) and Food Safety (ISO 22000). In March 2012 we obtrained the respective certifications for Environment (ISO 14001) and Security and Occupational Health (ISO 18001) . For 2013, the Food Safety Management System will be certified under the FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) standard which is fully recognized and accepted by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA).
The distribution centers also count with the following certifications: Food Safety and Quality Management System (HACCP) since 2007 and Security and Occupational Health (OHSAS 18001:2008) since June 2009, both valid for a period of 3 years. As part of the logistics management, distribution centers were audited during the first half of 2011 and 2012, maintaining the aforementioned systems certifications.
In 2003, the production facilities of Rengo and Vital were certified under the Codex Alimentarius and the Chilean regulation 2861:2004 for their production processes. These certifications were renewed in 2009. As of December 31, 2012 these production facilities held the following certifications: (i) Food Safety and Quality Management (HACCP); (ii) Quality Management (ISO 9001); (iii) Environment Management (ISO 14001); (iv) Security and Occupational Health (ISO 18000); and (v) Food Safety Management under ISO 22000 regulations and Best Practices of Food Manufacturing under PAS 220.
4.3 Coquimbo Plant: The plant has the following certifications:
· In June 2003, HACCP Codex Alimentarius.
· In July 2006, Occupational Health and Safety (OHSAS 18001:2000)
· In November 2008, Environmental Certification (ISO 14001:2004) and Quality Certification (ISO 9001:2008).
· In January 2011 Food Safety System Certification (ISO 22000/2005), and PAS 220/2008. In November 2011, the latter were recertified for 3 additional years within the abovementioned systems. (ISO 9001 - ISO 14001 - OHSAS 18001).
· In 2009 and 2012 the plant meets the Coca-Cola Company standards, certifying the KORE Environmental Requirements and Safety and Occupational Health
4.4 Punta Arenas Plant: Punta Arenas Plant 2003 certified its Quality, Environmental and Security system denominated “Evolution”. The system is required by TCCC. In 2010, the change from Evolution to KORE- the current TCCC system- was certified. In 2003 the Punta Arenas Plant was certified under ISO 9001 and HACCP. Later, in August 2006 it obtained the OHSAS 18001 certification, and in November 2008 ISO14001 and ISO22000, in addition to PAS 220 in January 2011. In December 2012 the Food Safety Certification was changed by SSC 22000, now being worldwide recognized and certifiable. The Integrated Management System is monitored annually and is recertified every three years, which ensuring the maintenance and continuous improvement of the system.
Brazil. Our Brazilian operations are subject to several environmental laws, none of which currently impose substantial restrictions on us. The Brazilian Constitution establishes the broad guidelines for the new treatment of environmental concerns, dedicating an entire chapter (Chapter VI, Article 225) to the protection
of the environment, along with several other articles related to the environmental law and urban law. Environmental issues are regulated at the federal, state and municipal levels. The Brazilian Constitution empowers the public authorities to develop regulations designed to preserve and restore the environment and to control industrial processes that affect human life. Violations of these regulations are subject to criminal, civil and administrative penalties.
In addition, Law No. 6,938 of 1981, known as the Brazilian Environmental Policy, introduced an entirely different environmental regime by which no environmental damage is exempt from coverage. The legislation is based on the idea that even a polluting waste tolerated under the established standards could cause environmental damage, and therefore subjects the party causing such damage to payment of an indemnity. Moreover, as mentioned above, activities damaging to the environment lead to criminal and administrative penalties, provided for in Law 9,605 of 1998 or the Environmental Crimes Act.
Numerous governmental bodies have jurisdiction over environmental matters. At the federal level, the Ministério do Meio Ambiente (Brazilian Ministry of Environment) and the Conselho Nacional do Meio-Ambiente or CONAMA dictate environmental policy, including, without limitation, initiating environmental improvement projects, establishing a system of fines and administrative penalties and reaching agreements on environmental matters with offending industries. The Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis or IBAMA enforces environmental regulations set by CONAMA. In addition, various federal authorities have jurisdiction over specific industrial sectors, but none of these currently affect us. Finally, various state and local authorities regulate environmental matters in the Brazilian territory including the Fundação Estadual de Engenharia do Meio-Ambiente or FEEMA, the principal environmental authority in Rio de Janeiro and the Instituto Estadual de Medio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos or IEMA, the principal environmental authority in Espírito Santo. FEEMA and IEMA periodically inspect industrial sites and test liquid waste for contamination. We believe to the best of our knowledge that we are in compliance in all material respects with the standards established by all the governmental authorities applicable to our operations in Brazil. We cannot assure you, however, that additional regulations will not be enacted in the future, and that such restrictions would not have a material adverse effect on our results or operations. The operation in Brazil as that of Chile counts with all certifications mentioned in terms of Quality, Environment and Occupational Health and Safety and those associated with Food Safety and Best Practices in Food Processing.
Argentina. The Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, allows any individual who believes a third party may be damaging the environment to initiate an action against it. No such action has ever been instituted against us, but we cannot assure you that an action will not be brought in the future. Though provincial governments have primary regulatory authority over environmental matters, municipal and federal authorities are also competent to enact decrees and laws on environmental issues. Thus, municipalities are competent on local environmental matters, such as waste management, while the federal government regulates inter-province environmental issues, such as transport of hazardous waste or environmental matters covered by international treaties.
In 2002, the National Congress approved federal Law No. 25,612, Gestión Integral de Residuos Industriales y de Actividades de Servicios (Integral Management of Industrial Residues and Service Activities) and Law No. 25,675, Ley General del Ambiente (General Environmental Law) establishing minimum guidelines for the protection of the sustainable environmental management and the protection of biodiversity, applicable throughout Argentina. The law establishes the purposes, principles and instruments of the national environmental policy, the concept of “minimum guidelines,” the judicial competence and the rules governing environmental education and information, citizens’ participation and self-management, among other provisions.
Provincial governments within the Argentine territory have enacted laws establishing a framework for the preservation of the environment. Provincial laws that are applicable to industrial facilities at EDASA, among others are Law No. 7,343 of the Province of Córdoba, and Law No. 11,459 of the Province of Buenos Aires. These laws contain principles on environmental policy and management, as well as rules on environmental impact assessment. They also give certain agencies competence in environmental issues.
Almost all provinces as well as many municipalities have established rules regarding the use of water, the sewage system and the disposal of liquids into underground flows of water or rivers. There are currently no claims pending against us on this matter. The violation of these rules usually results in fines.
During October of 2009, the National Award for Quality Foundation that promotes excellence in the development of processes and products in that country, granted us the 2009 National Award for Quality, which was handed by the president of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
In the operation in Argentina we maintain all certifications mentioned for Chile in addition to the Excellence Level Award of TCCC achieved in December 2010 by EDASA, due to the constant importance given to the excellence in the development of processes, products and activities.
Another international recognition was the obtaining achieving the Iberoamerican Quality Award for Plants from FUNDIBEQ, organization attached to the Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Iberoamerican Secretary General’s office (SEGIB).
In 2011 EDASA was recognized by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the province of Córdoba, with the “Award for Eco efficiency”, for its efforts in reducing the carbon footprint in its operations during 2010. Another important award during of 2011 has been the “Live Positively” Cup awarded by the Latin America South Division of TCCC, who governed by the concept of sustainable development in our “social license” to operate, conducted a Ranking of bottlers according to performance in sustainability based on 5 pillars: Work environment; Water; Energy; Sustainable packaging; Wellness and Community.
In 2012 the Ministerio de Industria, Comercio y Trabajo (Department of Industry, Commerce and Labor) of the Province of Córdoba, recognized EDASA with the “Quality Award” for the implementation of its Integrated Sustainability System, aligning the management processes of international standards (ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO22000, PAS 220 and OHSAS18001) with six strategic areas: Products and Services, Business Partners, Environment, Profitability, People and Community; which has led the company to achieve sustained results over time and be recognized internationally for its level of excellence.
Paraguay: The environmental framework comprises several national and local environmental regulations. The Paraguayan Constitution of 1992 states that everyone has the right to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment and has the obligation to preserve it. All damage caused to the environment will carry the obligation to repair and compensate.
Considered the “Mother of Environmental Law” in the country, Law 1561/00 chartered the three primary environmental agencies in Paraguay. These are: the Secretaría del Ambiente (SEAM or the Environmental Department), Consejo Nacional del Ambiente (CONAM or the National Environmetal Counsel), y el Sistema Nacional del Ambiente (SISNAM or National Environmental System). The Law establishes the authorities and responsibilities of the agencies to develop and oversee the national environmental policy.
Of the three, the SEAM is the main environmental institution responsible for the development and implementation of national environmental laws. The SEAM is the main authority responsible for implementing most of the national environmental standards and the main agency responsible for monitoring their compliance. The CONAM is responsible for investigating and establishing the main goals in the environmental policies, which the SEAM must then implement. The SISNAM in turn, is integrated by several bodies -including governmental and municipal agencies and private sector stakeholders- all interested in solving environmental issues. The SISNAM provides a discussion forum for the public and private sectors to work together collectively, developing ideas and plans to promote a sustainable development. Law 1561/00 also provides that all actions of the SEAM must, ultimately, meet the mandates established in Articles 7 and 8 of the Constitution.
According to Law 1561/00, Law 294/93 on Environmental Impact Assessment and other relevant regulations, landowners and others who intend to exploit the land for industrial, agricultural or other purposes, are prevented from deforesting native forests, convert non-forested areas located in forested lands for commercial
purposes, or in general, exploit the land for industrial or agricultural purposes without preparation, appraisal and approval of an environmental impact study and the previous authorization granted as a permit issued by the SEAM.
Environmental Impact: Law 294/93 states that the above mentioned activities will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable to such evaluation. Additionally, the Law sets out the rights and obligations that shall be triggered by any damage caused to the environment and mainly provides the obligation to restore the environment to its previous state or instead, if that is technically impossible, the corresponding payment or compensation. In accordance with Law 294/93, agricultural activities require and environmental impact assessment.
Illegal disposal of waste: The treatment, storage, disposal or removal of waste outside of the institutions designated to that effect, deviating from the applicable established laws and administrative regulations shall be punished with imprisonment of up to 5 years and/or a fine.
The Criminal Code defines waste including hazardous substances that can cause disease or infection, flammable or explosive substances that can pollute water and soil.
Hazardous industrial waste: Law 42/90 prohibits the importation or facilitation of the receipt, storage, use or distribution of products classified as hazardous or as industrial waste. Breaches to the law will be considered a crime against the human and the environmental health; and may be punishable with imprisonment of between 2 to 10 years. Public officials that breach this law may be removed from their positions and subsequently disqualified to hold public or commercial positions. Through Law 567/95, Paraguay ratified the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal.
Water Resources Act of Paraguay: Law 3239/07 on water resources establishes the sustainable management of all waters (superficial, ground, atmospheric) and the territories that generate such waters, regardless of their location, physical condition or natural occurrence within the Paraguayan territory, in order to make it socially, economically and environmentally sustainable for the people living in the territory of Paraguay. The supervising agency is the SEAM. Superficial and ground waters are property of the State’s public domain. The Law establishes the following order of priority for the use of water: i) Fulfillment of the needs of aquatic ecosystems; ii) Social use within the home environment; iii) Use and enjoyment for agricultural activities, including aquaculture; iv) use and utilization for power generation; v) Use and enjoyment for other industrial activities; vi) Use and enjoyment for other activities. The use of water for productive purposes is subject to the authorization granted by the State through a permit (for the use of small amounts of water) or through concessions (prior public bidding process), in both cases after the payment of applicable rights. Authorizations may be revoked based on the occurrence of the causes [situations] contemplated in the law. Concessions may be expropriated for public benefit, or be terminated in certain situations established by the Law. In addition, a National Registry of Water Resources has been created to keep record of all individuals or legal entities that utilize water resources or engage in activities related to them.
The SEAM, which is responsible for the fulfillment of laws on water resources, can apply sanctions, including: warnings, temporary or permanent suspension of authorizations or concessions, confiscations and/or fines. These penalties are applicable regardless of other civil or criminal sanctions or of the revocation of the environmental authorizations granted by SEAM.
Superficial and ground waters are property of the State public domain. All citizens of the Republic of Paraguay are holders of the right to use and enjoy water resources, not foreign States or their representatives. The use and enjoyment of superficial and ground water resources for human consumption are a priority. Other uses and enjoyments shall follow the order of priority established by law. The use and enjoyment for industrial activities is fifth in priority, having preeminence the social use within the home environment, fulfillment of the needs of aquatic ecosystems; the generation of energy and agricultural activities.
The use of water resources and their flows, except the direct personal or family use, may only be granted by a permit or concession.
Any work or activity related to the use of water resources must previously undergo the procedure of Environmental Impact Assessment. The issuance of a certificate by the SEAM regarding the water availability, in the quality and quantity required by the activity and in the area of the project site, is a pre-requisite for obtaining a positive Environmental Impact Statement.
Law 3239/07 controls most, but not all, types authorizations for the use of water. For example, Law 1614-1600 specifically regulates the public water supply service and sewage.
Authorizations for the use of water resources grant the holder a public precarious right to use water, but not the domain or other property right over it. This permit is revocable and may be granted through several authorizations: for use of small amounts of water, temporary uses and authorizations for the discharge of effluents.
Authorizations are granted through a Resolution and are personal and not transferable. The duration of the permit will be determined by taking into consideration the nature of the investment, the impact on water resource utilized and the social utility of the business venture.
On the other hand the right to use water resources may be granted for all such uses that do not need to be authorized by a permit. These authorizations will be granted through a contract, prior public bidding process, for a determined period of time.
Concessions for the use of water resources for commercial export purposes in whatever forms, shall be authorized by law. The holder of the concession acquires a subjective/personal public right to use water, but not the domain or any other property right over it. Concessions may be assigned to third parties prior approval by a Decree issued by Executive Branch in the form established in the regulations of this Law; and in accordance with the terms and conditions provided for in the corresponding concession contract.
Crimes againts the environment: Law 716/96 establishes the sanctions applicable to crimes against the environment. The breach of environmental laws and regulations is punishable with criminal, civil and administrative sanctions, including mitigation measures and the compensation of damages that may result from breaches to the environmental law and its regulations.
Any person (including directors, officers and managers of legal entities) who commits a crime against the environment and the quality of human life, such as: discharging gases or pollutant industrial waste into the atmosphere, the discharge of effluents and untreated industrial waste, cutting or burning forests or vegetation which seriously harm the ecosystem, among others; shall be punished by imprisonment and/or fines, sanctions that are graduated in each particular case according to the aggravating factors.
As for administrative sanctions, they may vary -from notices and fines to the complete or partial suspension of activities, a and they even may involve the revocation or cancellation of tax benefits, cancellation or termination of bank credit lines and the restriction to executing contracts with public entities.

Total installed annual production capacity assumes production of the mix of products and containers produced in 2012.
In 2012, we continued to modernize and renovate our manufacturing facilities in order to maximize efficiency and productivity; we also made significant improvements to our auxiliary services and complementary processes such as water treatment plants and effluent treatment stations. At present, we estimate we have the capacity in each of the franchise territories to meet consumer demand for each product format. Because bottling is a seasonal business with significantly higher demand during the South American summer and because soft drinks are perishable, it is necessary for bottlers to carry significant over-capacity in order to meet the substantially greater seasonal demand. We assure the quality of our products through worldwide class practices and procedures maintaining quality control laboratories and structures in each production facility where raw materials are tested and where we analyze samples of our products.
As of December 31, 2012, we had total installed annual production capacity, including soft drinks, fruit juices, and water, of 1,072 million unit cases. Our primary facilities include:
· through Coca-Cola Andina, in the Chilean territory, four soft drink production facilities with ten production lines in Renca, six production lines in Antofagasta, three production lines in Coquimbo and tow production lines in Punta Arenas with total installed annual capacity of 301 million unit cases (28.1% of our total installed annual capacity);
· through Vital Jugos in the Chilean territory, one fruit juice production facility, with six production lines, with total installed annual capacity of 21 million unit cases (2.0% of our total installed annual capacity);
· through Vital Aguas in the Chilean territory, one mineral water production facility, with four production lines, with total installed annual capacity of 28 million unit cases (2.6% of our total installed annual capacity);
· through Rio de Janeiro Refrescos in the Brazilian territory, two soft drink production facilities with thirteen production lines with total installed annual capacity of 307 million unit cases (28.6% of our total installed annual capacity); and
· through Embotelladora del Atlántico in the Argentine territory, three soft drink production facilities with fourteen production lines with a total installed annual capacity of 273 million unit
cases (25.5% of our total installed annual capacity); and one facility for the production of juices with four production lines that covers the needs of our franchise with a total installed annual capacity of 11 million unit cases (1.0% of our total installed annual capacity), and one production line for waters and sensistive products with a total installed annual capacity of 35 million unit cases (3.3% of our total installed annual capacity)
· through Andina Empaques Argentina S.A. in the Argentine territory one production facility for bottles and preforms that covers the needs of the Coca-Cola system in that country with a total installed annual capacity of 750 million units and
· through Paresa in the Paraguayan territory, one production facility located in San Lorenzo, with seven production lines and two tetra pack lines (1.5% of our total installed annual capacity) .

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Basis of Presentation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto.
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB.
These Financial Statements reflect the consolidated financial position of Embotelladora Andina. S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and 2011 as well as the operating results, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, all of which were approved by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2012.
Our consolidated financial results include the results of our subsidiaries located in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Our subsidiaries outside Chile prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS and to comply with local regulations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the country in which they operate. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of the subsidiaries outside of Chile, translated to Chilean pesos (functional and reporting currency of the parent company) and are presented in accordance with IFRS. The International Financial Reporting Standards requires assets and liabilities to be translated from the functional currency of each entity to the reporting currency (Chilean peso) at end of period exchange rates and income and expense accounts to be translated at the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which income or expense is recognized
Factors Affecting Comparability
During 2012, there were no changes in the application of IFRS as compared to the previous year that could materially affect the comparability of the financial statements. However, on October 1, 2012, the merger with Embotelladoras Coca Cola Polar S.A. was materialized, so assets and liabilities of the said bottler were incorporated to the consolidation as of October 1, 2012, at their fair value, as well as the results of its operations in October, November and December in Argentina, Chile and Paraguay. Additionally, due to the merger and as a result of an increase of percentage interests, Vital Aguas S.A., Vital Jugos S.A. y Envases Central S.A. are included in the consolidation.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Discussion of critical accounting estimates
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of our results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with IFRS. We cannot assure you that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of accounting policies significant to our operations, please see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of indefinite useful life
The Company tests if goodwill and intangible assets of indefinite useful life have suffered impairment loss on an annual basis or whenever there are indicators of impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units are determined based on calculations of the value in use. The key variables that management calculates include the volume of sales, prices, marketing expenses and other economic factors. The estimation of these variables requires a material administrative judgment as those variables imply inherent uncertainties. However, the assumptions are consistent with our internal planning. Therefore, management evaluates and updates estimates according to the conditions affecting the variables. If these assets are deemed to have become impaired, they will be written off at their estimated fair value or future recovery value according to discounted cash flows.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
IFRS requires in certain cases that assets and liabilities be recorded at their fair value. Fair value is the amount at which an asset can be purchased or sold or the amount at which a liability can be incurred or liquidated in an actual transaction among parties duly informed under conditions of mutual independence, different from a forced liquidation.
The basis for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value are the current prices in the active market. Lacking such an active market, the Company estimates said values based on the best information available, including the use of models or other valuation techniques.
The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets acquired as a result of the Polar merger based on the multiple period excess earning method, which implies the estimation of future cash flows generated by the intangible asset, adjusted by cash flows that do not come from the intangible asset, but from other assets. For this, the Company estimated the time during which the intangible asset will generate cash flows, the cash flows themselves, cash flows from other assets and a discount rate.
Other assets acquired and implicit liabilities in the business combination are carried at fair value using valuation methods that are considered appropriate under the circumstances including the cost of depreciated recovery and recent transaction values for comparable assets, among others. These methodologies require certain inputs to be estimated, including the estimation of future cash flows.
Provision for doubtful accounts
The Company evaluates the possibility of collecting trade accounts receivable using several factors. When the Company becomes aware of a specific inability of a customer to fulfill its financial commitments, a specific provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the amount that the Company estimate will ultimately be collected. In addition to specifically identifying potential uncollectible customer accounts, debits for doubtful accounts are accounted for based on the recent history of prior losses and a general assessment of trade accounts receivable, both outstanding and past due, among other factors. The balance of the Company’s trade accounts receivable was ThCh$159,540,993 at December 31, 2012 (ThCh$114,618,699 in 2011), net of an allowance for doubtful accounts provision of ThCh$1,486,749 (ThCh$1,544,574 in 2011). Historically, doubtful accounts have represented an average of less than 1% of consolidated net sales.
Useful life, residual value and impairment of property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of those assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances, changes to the
Company’s business model, or changes in its capital strategy might modify the effective useful lives as compared to our estimates. Whenever the Company determines that the useful life of property, plant and equipment might be shortened, it depreciates the excess between the net book value and the estimated recoverable amount according to the revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned use of manufacturing equipment, dispensers, and transportation equipment or computer software could make the useful lives of assets shorter. The Company reviews the impairment of long-lived assets each time events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of any of those assets might not be recovered. The estimate of future cash flows is based, among other things, on certain assumptions about the expected operating profits in the future. Company estimates of non-discounted cash flows may differ from real cash flows because of, among other reasons, technological changes, economic conditions, changes in the business model, or changes in the operating profit. If the sum of non-discounted cash flows that have been projected (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the asset, the asset will be written down to its estimated fair value.
Liabilities for bottle and case collateral
We have a liability for deposits received for bottles and cases provided to our customers and distributors. The liability represents the deposit value that we may be required to remit upon receipt from the customer or distributor of the bottles and cases, in good condition, along with the original invoice. The liability is not subject to price level restatements as per current agreements with customers and distributors. We estimate the liability for deposits based on an periodic inventory of bottles sold to customers and distributors, estimates of bottles in circulation and a weighted average historical deposit value per bottle or case. Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the number of bottles in circulation, the deposit value that could be subject to redemption and the timing of disbursements related to this liability.

Opening Remarks
The merger by absorption with Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar (“Polar”) took place on October 1, 2012, whereby Embotelladora Andina (the Company) increased its ownership interest in Vital, Vital Jugos and ECSA, incorporating them into the consolidation of results as of that date, as well as the results of Polar for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Net Sales
Consolidated Sales Volume was 596.2 million unit cases in 2012, an increase of 18.9%. Soft drinks grew 15.5%, while juices and waters together increased 47.9%. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, consolidated sales volume grew 8.7%, where soft drinks grew 6.7% and juices and waters together grew 24.3%. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed with 51.1 million unit cases.
The variations of the Brazilian Real, the Argentine Peso and the Paraguayan Guaraní, all relative to the Chilean Peso, have an impact on the conversion of figures to Chilean Pesos. On average, during the year and with respect to the Chilean Peso, the Brazilian Real depreciated 13.9%, the Argentine Peso 8.8%, and the Paraguayan Guarani 5.1%, generating a negative impact on income and a positive impact on costs and expenses.
Net Sales totaled Ch$1,172,293 million, a 19.3% increase, primarily explained by higher volumes and prices in the four countries where we operate, and partially offset by the effect of conversion of figures. In 2012, the soft drink segment represented 82.4% of consolidated Net Sales , which was slightly lower than the 84.4% we reported in 2011. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, Net Sales increased 8.9%, mainly explained by: (i) the effect of the increase in volumes, especially in Brazil and Argentina, as a result of the industry’s growth and of an increase in our market share, and (ii) the increase in revenues per unit case in local currency, mainly due to price increases in line with local inflation. These two effects are partially offset by the effect of the conversion of figures to Chilean Pesos. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012 contributed Ch$102,168 million to Net Sales.
In Chile, Sales Volume during 2012 reached 185.4 million unit cases, which represents an increase of 17.3%, and is mainly explained by the 54.1% growth of the juice and water segments and the 11.0% growth of the soft drinks segment. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, Sales Volume grew 5.5%, driven by the juice and water segments that together grew 18.9%, while the soft drinks category grew 3.2%. The incorporation of Polar`s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed 18.7 million unit cases.
The incorporation of Polar did not involve significant changes in market share, since both companies had very similar figures. Regarding the soft drink segment, our market share reached 69.4%, which on average involved a gain of 20 basis points compared with the previous year. Average value market share was 71.9% in 2012, which compares with 71.6% in 2011. Categories of waters and juices still have a very low market penetration when compared to other developed countries, and therefore have presented high growth rates in recent years.
Net Sales in Chile were Ch$374,873 million, representing an increase of 22.9% explained by the following two effects: (i) greater volumes, mainly due to the merger with Polar, and by higher volumes of waters and juices resulting from the strong growth that these industries are experiencing and (ii) the increase of average revenue per unit case, basically explained by higher prices, in line with local inflation. Excluding the effect caused by the merger with Polar, Net Sales grew 10.1%. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed Ch$39,064 million to Net Sales.
Soft drinks Net Sales in Chile were Ch$299,673 million in 2012, an increase of 17.3% over the previous year, mainly due to the 11.0% increase in volumes and by a higher average revenue per unit case. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, Net Sales for soft drinks in Chile were Ch$276,014 million, an increase of 8% due to a 3.2% increase in volumes and an increase of the average revenue per unit case of 5%. Net sales of juices and water in Chile were Ch$74,902 million in 2012, 51.3% higher than in 2011, explained by the 54.1% increase in volumes and partially offset by a reduction in the average revenue per unit case. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, this figure was Ch$59,795 million, which represented an increase of 21% due to a volume growth of 19% and an increase in the average revenue per unit case of 2%. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed with Ch$23,659 million in soft drinks, and Ch$15,106 million in juices and waters.
In Brazil, 2012 Sales Volume reached 225.0 million unit cases, which represented a growth of 9.7%, explained by higher volumes in the juices and waters categories (23.0%), while the soft drink category expanded 7.8%. Sales volumes were positively impacted by: (i) a better execution at the points of sale as a result of an increase in the sales force, and (ii) industry growth, influenced by the 14% adjustment in the minimum wage. Net sales were Ch$451,597 million (+1.3%), explained by higher volumes and price increases slightly lower than local inflation. These effects were partially offset by the negative effect of the conversion of figures. In 2012, our average market share in the soft drink segment was 59.1%, 170 basis points higher than the previous year, which reflects our strong competitive position and the positive impact that our sales’ strategy has had. In value terms, our average market share reached 67.0% in 2012, in comparison with the 66.4% obtained in 2011.
Net Sales of soft drinks in Brazil were Ch$359,116 million in 2012, a drop of 1.8% over the previous year, which is explained by a 7.8% increase in volumes and by price increases slightly below local inflation. These effects were more than offset by the strong negative impact of conversion of figures. Net sales of juices, waters and beer in Brazil were Ch$92,480 million in 2012, representing an increase of 15.5% due to higher volumes and mix effect, partially offset by the conversion of figures.
In Argentina, 2012 Sales Volume reached 167 million unit cases, representing an increase of 20.7%, basically due to a 55.9% growth in the segment of juices and waters, leveraged by the launching of our new Bonaqua mineral water, and by the 18.3% growth of the soft drinks segment. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, sales volumes grew 10.8%, driven by juices and waters that together grew 41.3%, while the soft drinks category grew by 8.8%. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed 13.6 million unit cases.
The incorporation of Polar did not involve significant changes in market share, as both companies had very similar figures. Regarding the soft drink segment, our market share reached 58.8%, which -on average- involves a market share gain of 150 basis points in comparison with the previous year, and is mainly explained by a greater presence in supermarkets and a better execution in the returnable bottle segment. Average value market share was 63.9% in 2012, which compares to 63.4% in 2011. The waters and juices categories still have a very low penetration in the market compared to other developed countries, and therefore have presented high growth rates in recent years.
Net Sales in Argentina were Ch$315,336 million, which represents an increase of 35.8%, that is explained by the following effects: (i) greater volumes, mainly due to the merger with Polar, as well as by the incorporation of Bonaqua; and (ii) and increase of revenues per unit case, basically explained by price increases in line with local inflation, and partially offset by the effect of conversion of figures. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, Net Sales grew 21.7%, explained by the following two effects: (i) growth in volumes due to the same reasons explained above, and (ii) increases in the average revenue per unit case, basically explained by price increases in line with local inflation. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed Ch$32,618 million.
Net Sales of soft drinks in Argentina were Ch$281,696 million in 2012, an increase of 34.9% over the previous year, mainly due to an 18.3% increase in volume and to a higher average revenue per unit case. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, Net Sales of soft drinks in Argentina were Ch$253,319 million, an increase of 21.3% explained by an 8.8% increase in volumes and by price increases in line with local inflation, partially offset by the effect of the conversion of figures.
Net Sales of juices and water in Argentina were Ch$23,827 million in 2012, a 53.5% increase when compared with 2012, mainly due to the 55.9% increase in volumes and partially offset by a decrease in the average revenue per unit case. This decrease is explained by the effect of the launching of Bonaqua, which has a lower per unit case price than juices. On the other hand, without considering the effect of the merger with Polar, Net Sales for juices and waters were Ch$20,836 million, which represented an increase of 34%, due to the reasons already commented. The incorporation of Polar’s operations as of October 1, 2012, contributed Ch$28,377 million to the sales of soft drinks in Argentina and Ch$2,991 million to the sales of juices and waters.
In Paraguay, Sales Volume for the fourth quarter of 2012 reached 18.8 million unit cases. The soft drinks segment represented 87.8% of sales volume, while the remaining 12.2% were juices and waters. Net sales amounted to Ch$32,028 million. In the fourth quarter of 2012 our average market share in the soft drink segment was 60.7%. In terms of value, our average market share reached 70.4% during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Net Sales of soft drinks in Paraguay reached Ch$26,885 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net sales of juices and water in Paraguay amounted Ch$5,144 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales reached Ch$698,955 million in 2012, increasing 20.8% when compared to Ch$578,581 million in 2011. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, Cost of Sales were Ch$634,752 million, which represents an increase of 9.7%. In addition to the incorporation of Polar, that represents a cost of Ch$64,203 million, the increase in Costs of Sales is explained by: (i) changes in the products mix in Chile and Brazil, towards products with higher costs; (ii ) increases in the cost of concentrate in Chile, Brazil and Argentina;(iii) higher labor costs in Chile and Argentina; (iv) an increase of depreciation in Chile; (v) high inflation in Argentina, which affects a significant portion of our Cost of Sales; and (vi) the depreciation of local currencies in relation to the dollar, which has an impact on raw materials indexed to such currency. All the above effects were partially offset by the effect of conversion of our operations figures in Brazil and Argentina. Cost of Sales represented a 59.6% of Net Sales in 2012 and 58.9% in 2011.
In Chile, Costs of Sales amounted to Ch$224,025 million in 2012, an increase of 27.0% when compared to Ch$176,464 million in 2011. Cost of Sales per unit case was Ch$1,209 in 2012, an increase of 8.2% when compared to 2011. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, which contributes Ch$25,400 million, Cost of Sales was Ch$198,625 million, representing an increase of 12.6% over 2011. Costs of Sales per unit case, without considering the merger with Polar was Ch$1,191 in 2012, 6.7% higher than in 2011. In addition to the incorporation of Polar, the increase in Costs of Sales per unit case is explained by: (i) higher depreciation per unit case, as the new lines of the Renca plant began to be depreciated, which explains the 43% of the increase of cost per unit case; (ii) a greater participation of distributed products, which explains an 18% of the increase in Costs of Sales per unit case; and (iii) greater labor costs due to an increase of salaries, which accounts for 8% of the increase in costs per unit case. These increases were partially offset, among others by: (i) a decrease of the cost of products purchased from third parties, since the Renca plant started producing soft drinks in PET bottles of 591cc and 250cc; and (ii) a lower cost of sugar due to the price reduction it has presented on the international markets. Cost of Sales represented a 59.8% of Net Sales in 2012 and 57.9% in 2011.
In Brazil, Costs of Sales reached Ch$272,890 million in 2012, 2.1% higher than Ch$267,389 million in 2011. In local currency Costs of Sales increased 18.4%. Cost of Sales per unit case was Ch$1,331 in 2012, which is 2.1% higher than in 2011, mainly due to the change in the product mix, towards distributed products which have a higher Cost of Sales. This effect was partially offset by the effect of converting figures, due to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real in relation to the Chilean Peso. Cost of Sales represented a 60.4% of Net Sales in 2012 and 60.0% in 2011.
In Argentina, Cost of Sales reached Ch$181,924 million in 2012, 35.0% higher than the Ch$134,728 million in 2011. In local currency, Cost of Sales increased 50.0%. Cost of Sales per unit case was Ch$1,090 in 2012, an increase of 11.9% when compared to 2011. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, which explains an additional cost of Ch$18,687 million, Cost of Sales was Ch$163,237 million, that is, an increase of 12.6% over 2011, while Cost of Sales per unit case was Ch$1,064 in 2012, 9.3% higher than in 2011. In addition to the incorporation of Polar, the increase in Cost of Sales per unit case in local currency is explained by: (i) higher costs of concentrate explained by price increases, accounting for the 42% of the increase in the cost per unit case; (ii) higher labor costs, mainly caused by the increase in real wages and increase of headcount as a result of higher volumes; (iii) higher depreciation due to the investments we have made in recent years; and (iv) change in the product mix towards distributed products. All these effects were partially offset by: (i) a lower cost of PET bottles and (ii) the effect of conversion of figures. Cost of Sales represented a 57.7% of Net Sales in 2012 and 58.0% in 2011.
Gross Profit
Due to the aforementioned, gross profit in 2012 increased by 17.1% in 2012, reaching Ch$473,338 million, or 40.4% of Net Sales, compared to Ch$404,283 million, or 41.1%, of Net Sales, in 2011. Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, gross profit in 2012 reached $435,373 million, representing 40.7% of Net Sales, and an increase of 7.7% compared with the previous year. The incorporation of Polar accounted for Ch$37,965 million of additional Gross Profit.
Sales and Administrative Expenses
Sales and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses totaled Ch$314,295 million in 2012, representing 26.8% of Net Sales in 2012, 21.8% higher than the Ch$258,124 million in 2011 (26.3% of Net Sales for that year). Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, SG&As were Ch$286,444 million, representing 26.8% of Net Sales and were 11.0% higher than the previous year. In addition to the incorporation of Polar, which explains and additional cost of Ch$27,851 million, the increase in SG&A Expenses is explained by: (i) greater costs of distribution in the three countries in which we operate; (ii) higher labor costs in Argentina and Chile; and (iii) greater depreciationcharges in Brazil.
In Chile, SG&A Expenses were Ch$93,164 million in 2012, representing 24.9% of Net Sales, and 28.8% higher than the Ch$72,314 million in 2011 (23.7% of Net Sales for that year). Excluding the effect of
the merger with Polar, SG&As were Ch$84,257 million, representing 25.1% of Net Sales and an increase of 16.5% when compared to the previous year. In addition to the incorporation of Polar, which explains an additional cost of Ch$8,907 million, the increase of SG&A Expenses is mainly explained by the fact that during the fourth quarter of 2011 there was a positive effect caused by other operating income classified under this item and, in this period, such situation did not happen. Excluding this item, SG&A Expenses would have increased 12%, mainly due to: (i) greater costs of distribution, 20% higher when compared to the previous year, due to greater volumes and increases of tariffs; and (ii) a 16% increase in labor costs, due to increases of real wages and the simultaneous operation of two production plants during 2012.
In Brazil, SG&A Expenses were Ch$114,060 million in 2012, 0.2% lower when compared to Ch$114,258 million 2011. This reduction is explained by the effect of currency conversion. In local currency SG&A Expenses increased 15.8%, mainly due to: (i) higher costs of labor, which in local currency were 31% higher than last year; (ii) greater distribution costs in local currency, that were 14% higher when compared to the year above, and (iii) greater depreciation charges, which in local currency was 29% higher than the previous year. As a percentage of Net Sales, SG&A Expenses were 25.3% in 2012, and 25.6% in 2011.
In Argentina, SG&A Expenses were Ch$101,321 million in 2012, representing 32.1% of Net Sales, and 41.6% higher when compared to Ch$71,552 million in 2011 (30.8% of the Net Sales for that year). Excluding the effect of the merger with Polar, SG&As were Ch$88,126 million, representing 31.2% of Net Sales, 23.2% higher when compared to the previous year. In addition to the incorporation of Polar, which explains the additional cost of Ch$13,195 million, the increase in SG&As is mainly explained by the effect of local inflation in these costs, among which the following stand out: (i) greater costs of distribution, which -in local currency- were 39 % higher when compared to the previous year and were also affected by higher volumes; and (ii) higher labor costs, which -in local currency- were 29% higher than the previous year. These effects were partially offset by the effect of conversion of figures.
In Paraguay, SG&A Expenses were Ch$5,750 million and, as a percentage of sales, they reached 18.0%.
Operating Income
As a consequence of the aforementioned, Operating Income increased 8.2% in 2012, reaching Ch$154,164 million, or 13.2% of net sales, compared to Ch$142,424 million, or 14.5% of net sales in 2011. Excluding the effects of the merger with Polar, Operating Income was Ch$144,050 million, representing 13.5% of Net Sales and a 1.1% increase when compared to the previous year. The incorporation of the operations of Polar explained Ch$10,114 million additional Operating Income.

Non-Operating Results totaled a loss of (Ch$27,390) million, which compares negatively to a loss of (Ch$10,712) million recorded during 2011. The account with greater variation is “Other income and expenses, by function and other gains and losses” which reflects a higher loss of Ch$6,979 million due to (i) expenses of the merger with Polar recognized in 2012 for MM$4,518; (ii) higher expenses for derivatives transactions for MM$2,584. Financial costs increased Ch$3,938 in 2012, mainly due to: (i) greater debt mainly originated in Chile; and (ii) recognition for 3 months of the financial liabilities for the debts of the companies incorporated by the merger with Polar. Finally, exchange rate differences had a higher loss of MM$4,474 than the previous year, caused by the update of accounts payables to related companies.
Income Taxes
Income taxes in 2012 increased 11.0% to Ch$38,505 million compared to Ch$34,685 million in 2011. The increase is principally explained by i) higher tax liabilities due to the incorporation of Polar during 2012; (ii) profit increase of our subsidiary in Argentina, country that has the highest income tax rate of the group; and (iii) recognition of expenses caused by the change of the income tax rate from 18.5% to 20%, occurred in Chile during 2012
Net Income
As a result of the aforementioned, net income in 2012 was Ch$88,269 million, representing 7.5% of net sales and a decrease of 9.0% compared to net income of Ch$97,027 million in 2011.
Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations
In Chile we had losses of Ch$4,471 million in 2012 due to the revaluation of the Chilean peso with respect to the Argentinean peso and the Brazilian real, currencies in which we maintained accounts receivables. This loss compares to a profit of Ch$3 million in 2011, where the Chilean peso did not appreciated respect to the other local currencies of the countries in which we operate. Our net asset position in U.S. dollars is insignificant.
In accordance with IFRS conversion methods, assets and liabilities from Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil are converted from their functional currency (Argentine Peso, Paraguayan Guaraní and Brazilian Real respectively) to the reporting currency of the parent company (Chilean peso) at the end of period exchange rate, and income accounts at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction or monthly average exchange rate of the month when it took place. The effects of translation are presented as comprehensive income and do not affect the results for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The translation effects due to the currency conversion undertaken for assets and liabilities in accordance with the method previously explained resulted in a decrease of other comprehensive income of Ch$35,983 during 2012 (net decrease of Ch$1,965 million during 2011 and decrease of Ch$9,450 million during 2010) We also present under other comprehensive income the net effect as result of the restatement of Chilean pesos to U.S. Dollars and Brazilian Reais to U.S. dollars resulting from the update of intercompany accounts that have designated as part of the Company’s investment, this effect resulted in an increase of Ch$5,113 million during 2012 ( decrease of Ch$1,087 and Ch$1,845 million during 2011 and 2010).
In Chile we use hedge agreements, to protect against foreign currency risk, which has an impact on our dollar denominated raw materials needs. The mark to market of these contracts was recorded in 2012 and 2011 as other earnings and losses in the consolidated statements of income. For further information about the instruments we use to protect against foreign currency risk, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk.”
Impact of Governmental Policies
Our business is dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in our countries of operation. Various governmental economic, fiscal, monetary and political policies, such as those related to inflation or foreign exchange, may affect these economic conditions, and in turn may impact our business. These government policies may also affect investments by our shareholders.
For a discussion of political factors and governmental, economic, fiscal and monetary policies that could materially affect investments by U.S. shareholders as well as our operations, please refer to “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” and “Item 10. Additional Information”

Net Sales
Consolidated Sales Volume amounted to 501.2 million unit cases in 2011, an increase of 2.5%. Soft Drinks grew 2.3%, while the other categories of, Juices, Waters, and Beer together increased by 4.2%. Particularly, the Waters segment recorded a significant 19.6% increase.
The variations in the exchange rates of the Brazilian real and Argentine peso with respect to the Chilean peso, affect our results expressed in Chilean pesos. On average during the year and with respect to the Chilean peso, the Brazilian real devalued 0.3% resulting in a slight negative accounting effect upon translation of figures from Brazil; and the Argentine peso devalued 10.15%, resulting in a negative accounting impact over income and a positive impact over costs and expenses upon translation of figures for consolidation, in the end, having a negative accounting effect over results upon translation of figures from Argentina.
Net Sales amounted to Ch$982,864 million, a 10.6% increase mainly explained by the increase in volume and prices in the three countries. Of the consolidated net sales, soft drinks represented 84.4% in 2011, slightly lower when compared to the 85.4% in 2010.
In Chile, Sales Volume amounted to 158.0 million unit cases, a 2.3% decline, mainly explained by the 37.1% decrease in the juice segment. Due to the partial sale of Vital Jugos in Chile which occurred in January of 2011, this subsidiary no longer consolidates with Andina, therefore, 2011 volumes do not include the juice volume that Vital Jugos sold to Embonor and Polar (the other two Chilean Coca-Cola bottlers). Without
considering this effect, volumes in Chile would have posted a 3.4% growth, with soft drink volumes growing 1.7% and the Juice and Water segment growing 14.9%. Regarding soft drinks, better execution in the market, allowed us to gain 10 bps of market share, thus reaching 69.2%. Our average value market share was 71.6% during 2011 compared to 71.8% in 2010. With respect to Juices and Waters, these are categories which still have low per capita consumption as compared with more developed markets, and thus have been presenting high growth rates in the last years.
Net Sales amounted to Ch$304,948 million, a 3.1% improvement, driven by higher volumes and prices, and offset by the non consolidation of Vital Jugos, which participated in 2010 in 4.5% of total revenues. Soft drink net sales in Chile amounted to Ch$255,436 million during 2011, representing a 5.9% increase regarding the previous year, principally explained by a 1.7% increase in volumes and by an increase of the average income per unit case. Net sales of juices and waters in Chile was Ch$49,512 million in 2011, showing a decrease of 9.1% from 2010. This decrease was led by a 37.1% decrease of sales volume of the juice segment, explained by the non consolidation of Vital Jugos in 2011. When considering proforma sales, juice sales would have grown 20.5%, led by a 15.1% volume increase, coupled with price increases slightly above local inflation.
In Brazil, Sales Volume amounted to 205.1 million unit cases, a 1.3% increase driven by the Juice, Water and Beer segment (+39.4%), while the soft drinks category showed a 1.9% decrease. Soft drink volumes were negatively impacted by the consumption slowdown observed in the economy during all of 2011, by higher inflation and by adverse weather conditions. Juices and Waters were positively impacted by the incorporation to our portfolio of the Matte Leão brand. Net Sales reached Ch$445,693 million (+9.3%) due to higher volumes, price adjustments in line with local inflation and a change of our product mix towards more expensive products. In year 2011, our average volume market share in the soft drink market in Brazil reached 57.4%, same figure as 2010, reflecting a strong competitive position. Our average value market share was 66.4% during 2011 compared to 67.0% in 2010.
Soft drink Net Sales in Brazil amounted to Ch$365,604 million during 2011, representing a 4.2% increase regarding the previous year, mainly explained by price adjustments that were slightly below local inflation, coupled with the decrease of 1.9% in soft drinks volumes. On the other hand, the Company’s beer, water and juice operations in Brazil generated net sales in 2011 of Ch$80,089 million, representing a 40.6% increase from 2010, mainly explained by increased volumes due to the incorporation to our portfolio of the Matte Leão brand.
In Argentina, Sales Volume amounted to 138.4 million unit cases, an increase of 10.5%. Soft drinks grew 9.4% and the other categories of juices and waters together grew 29.1%. Net Sales reached Ch$232.223 million (+25.3%), explained by (i) price increases in local currency, in line with local inflation, (ii) volume increases, and (iii) the devaluation of the Argentine peso with respect to the Chilean peso. In year 2011, our average volume market share in the soft drink market in Argentina increased to 57.3% reflecting that we maintain a strong competitive position. Our average value market share was 63.4% during 2011 compared to 62.8% in 2010.
Soft drinks Net Sales in Argentina amounted to Ch$208.848 million during 2011, representing a 25.1% increase when compared to the previous year, mainly explained by higher volumes in this segment and price increases, that were in line with local inflation, in local currency. Net sales of PET packaging and juices in Argentina were Ch$23,375 million in 2011, representing an increase of 27.5% compared to 2010 resulting from the same reasons given for the increase in Soft Drinks Net Sales.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales were Ch$578,581 million in 2011, representing 58.9% of net sales, compared to Ch$506,882 million, or 57.0% of net sales in 2010. The increase in cost of sales in 2011 was principally due to (i) significant increase in the cost of sugar per unit case in the three countries where we operate; (ii) change in the mix of products in Chile and Brazil, and (iii) increased concentrate costs in Chile and in Argentina, (iv) increased labor costs in Chile and (v) high inflation in Argentina that affects an important portion of our cost of sales.
In Chile, Cost of Sales were Ch$176,464 million in 2011, a 3.7% increase when compared to the Ch$170,125 million in 2010. The cost of sales per unit case sold reached Ch$1,118 in 2011, a 6.2% increase when compared to 2010, mainly due to (i) sugar costs per unit case that on average were approximately 16% above last year, explaining 20% of the increase in the cost of sales per unit case (ii) higher mix of distributed juice and water products in our total sales, which explains 35% of the increase in the cost of sales per unit case, (iii) an 8% increase in the concentrate cost per unit case, which explains 23% of the increase in the cost of sales per unit case, and (iv) higher labor costs due to an increase in wages and to the fact that the Company has been running two production plants simultaneously during the fourth quarter of 2011. The percentage representing cost of sales regarding net sales was 57.9% for the year 2011 and 57.5% for the year 2010.
In Brazil, Cost of Sales were Ch$267,389 million in 2011, a 14.8% increase when compared to the Ch$232,906 million in 2010. The cost of sales per unit case reached Ch$1,304 in 2011, increasing 13.4% when compared to 2010, mainly due to (i) higher mix of distributed products in our total sales, which explains 74% of the increase in the cost of sales per unit case, (ii) increased costs of PET bottles (approximately 14% higher per unit case when compared to 2010), and which explains 11% of the increase in cost of sales per unit case and (iii) sugar costs per unit case, that on average were approximately 5% higher when compared to 2010, and which explains 5% of the increase in the cost of sales per unit case. The percentage representing cost of sales regarding net sales was 60.0% for 2011 and 57.1% for the year 2010.
In Argentina, Cost of Sales were Ch$134,728 million in 2011, a 29.7% increase when compared to the Ch$103,851 million in 2010. The cost of sales per unit case reached Ch$974 in 2011, increasing 17.4% when compared to 2010, mainly due to increases in (i) sugar costs, that on average, and in local currency, were approximately 68% higher per unit case, when compared to last year, and which explains 45% of the increase in cost of sales per unit case, (ii) higher concentrate prices, due to price increases, which explains 26% of the increase in cost of sales per unit case and (iii) the 10.15% devaluation of the Argentine peso with respect to the Chilean peso, resulting in a positive accounting impact upon translation of figures from local currency to Chilean pesos. The percentage representing cost of sales regarding net sales was 58.0% during 2011 and 56.1% for the year 2010.
Gross Profit
Due to the aforementioned, gross profit in 2011 increased by 5.9%, reaching Ch$404,283 million, or 41.1% of net sales, compared to Ch$381,832 million, or 43.0% of net sales in 2010.
Distribution, Administrative and Selling Expenses
Distribution, administrative and selling expenses amounted to Ch$261,859 million in 2011, representing 26.6% of net sales for 2011, a 12.6% increase with respect to the Ch$232,598 million in 2010, that represented 26.2% of net sales for that year. SG&A expenses increased principally because of (i) higher distribution costs in the three countries where we operate, (ii) higher labor costs in Argentina and in Chile and (iii) higher inflation in Argentina.
In Chile, SG&A expenses were Ch$72,314 million in 2011, a 6.2% increase when compared to the Ch$68,092 million in 2010. This increase was mainly due to (i) distribution costs which were 14% higher than the previous year, (ii) a 12% increase in labor costs due to wage increases, hiring of third party logistic personnel, and to the fact that the Company has been running two production plants simultaneously during the fourth quarter of 2011, and (iii) higher depreciation charges (57% increase) mainly associated with the new bottling facility. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 23.7% in 2011 compared with 23.0% in 2010
In Brazil, SG&A expenses were Ch$114,258 million in 2011, a 11.3% increase when compared to the Ch$102,624 million in 2010. The main factors that explain this increase are (i) higher distribution costs, which grew 14% when compared to 2010, and (ii) higher marketing expenses, which grew 17%. As a
percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 25.6% in 2011 compared with 25.2% in 2010.
In Argentina SG&A expenses were Ch$71,552 million in 2011, a 23.4% increase when compared to the Ch$57,980 million in 2010. This increase was mainly due to (i) distribution costs which were 24% higher than the previous year, due to higher volumes and local inflation, (ii) a 28% increase in labor costs due to wage increases as a result of local inflation, and (iii) higher plant to warehouse transportation costs, which increased 25%. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 30.8% in 2011 compared with 31.3% in 2010.
Operating Income
As a consequence of the aforementioned, Operating Income decreased 4.6% in 2011, amounting to Ch$142,424 million, or 14.5% of net sales, compared to Ch$149,234 million, or 16.8% of net sales in 2010.

The account with greater variation is “Other income and expenses, by function and other gains and losses” which reflects a higher loss of Ch$368 million due to (i) increased provisions for contingencies relating primarily to the Brazilian operation; (ii) greater property, plant and equipment write-offs relating mainly to the construction of the new plant located in Renca; partially offset by (iii) losses registered in 2010 and not present in the year 2011 resulting from the earthquake on February 27, 2010 (iii) earnings recognized in 2011 resulting from benefits associated with tax credits from previous years recognized by Brazilian authorities (iv) earnings in the proportional sale of the affiliate Vital juices S.A. in January 2011 (v) greater earning per the update of judicial deposits (vi) lower expenses in 2011 regarding 2010 resulting from non-operating fees and donations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes in 2011 decreased 4.6% to Ch$34,685 million compared to Ch$36,340 million in 2010. The decrease is principally explained by (i) lower profits from the Brazilian operation during the year 2011 versus the year 2010, which are partially offset by (ii) greater profits from the Argentine operation during the year 2011 versus the year 2010.
Net Income
As a result of the aforementioned, net income in 2011 was Ch$97,027 million, representing 9.9% of net sales and a decrease of 6.3% compared to net income of Ch$103,600 million in 2010.
Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations
In Chile we had gains of Ch$3 million in 2011 due to the revaluation of the Chilean peso, compared to a negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations in 2010 in the amount of approximately Ch$222 million, due to our low net asset position in U.S. dollars amounting to a total of approximately US$3 million.
In accordance with IFRS conversion methods, assets and liabilities from Argentina and Brazil are converted from their functional currency (Brazilian Real and Argentine Peso, respectively) to the reporting currency of the parent company (Chilean peso) at the end of period exchange rate, and income accounts at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction or monthly average exchange rate of the month when it took place. The effects of translation are presented as comprehensive income and do not affect the results for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The translation effects due to the currency conversion undertaken for assets and liabilities in accordance with the method previously explained resulted in a decrease of other comprehensive income of Ch$2,600 during 2011 (decrease of Ch$5,171 million during 2010 and increase of Ch$6,496 million during 2009) for Brazil and an increase of other comprehensive income of Ch$635 million during 2011 (decrease of Ch$4,279 and Ch$15,428 million during 2010 and 2009 respectively) for Argentina. We also present under other comprehensive income the net effect as result of the restatement of Chilean pesos to U.S. Dollars and Brazilian Reais to U.S. dollars resulting from the update of intercompany accounts that have designated as part of the Company’s investment, this effect resulted in an increase of Ch$1,087 million during 2011 (decrease of Ch$1,845 and Ch$1,355 million during 2010 and 2009).
We use hedge agreements, to protect against foreign currency risk. In 2011 and 2010 these agreements partially offset the effects of the variation of the Chilean peso exchange rate, whose results are recorded as earnings and losses in the consolidated statements of income. For further information about the instruments we use to protect against foreign currency risk, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk.”
Impact of Governmental Policies
Our business is dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in our countries of operation. Various governmental economic, fiscal, monetary and political policies, such as those related to inflation or foreign exchange, may affect these economic conditions, and in turn may impact our business. These government policies may also affect investments by our shareholders.
For a discussion of political factors and governmental, economic, fiscal and monetary policies that could materially affect investments by U.S. shareholders as well as our operations, please refer to “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” and “Item 10. Additional Information”
5.B Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources, Treasury and Funding Policies
The products we sell are mainly paid for in cash and short term credit, and therefore our main source of financing comes from the cash flow of our operations. This cash flow has been generally sufficient to cover the investments necessary for the normal course of our business, as well as the distribution of dividends approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. Nevertheless, in 2012 was necessary to use banking loans to finance the acquisition of the 40% stake of Sorocaba Refrescos in Brazil for R$147 million. Also, aour net cash position diminished after the merger with Polar, mainly because Polar used to have more debt when compared to Andina’s balance sheet. Should additional funding be required for future geographic expansion or other needs, the main sources of financing to consider are: (i) debt offerings in the Chilean and foreign capital markets (ii) borrowings from commercial banks, both internationally and in the local markets where we have operations; and; (iii) public equity offerings.
Certain restrictions could exist to transfer funds among our operating subsidiaries. We have transferred funds from Argentina to Chile through capital reductions in 2010, but in 2011 and 2012, all cash flow generated by the subsidiary in Argentina was reinvested in the operation. During 2010, 2011 and 2012 we received dividends from our subsidiary in Brazil. No assurance can be made that we will not face restrictions in the future regarding the distribution of dividends from our foreign subsidiaries.
Our management believes that we have access to financial resources to maintain our current operations and provide for our current capital expenditure and working capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest and income tax payments and dividends to shareholders. The amount and frequency of future dividends to our shareholders will be determined by the General Shareholders’ Meeting upon the proposal of our board of directors in light of our earnings and financial condition at such time, and we cannot assure you that dividends will be declared in the future, except for the minimum 30% of annual profits required by Chilean law.
Our board of directors has been empowered by our shareholders to define our financing and investment policies. Our bylaws do not define a strict financing structure, nor do they limit the types of investments we may make. Traditionally, we have preferred to use our own resources to finance our investments.
Our general financing policy is that each subsidiary should finance its own operations. From this perspective, each subsidiary’s management must focus on cash generation and should establish clear targets for operating income, capital expenditures and levels of working capital. These targets are reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure that their objectives are met. Should increased financing needs arise, either as a result of a cash deficit or to take advantage of market opportunities, our general policy is to prefer local financing to allow for natural hedging. If local financing conditions were not acceptable, because of costs or other constraints, Andina will provide financing, or our subsidiary could finance itself in a currency different than the local one.
Our cash surplus policy is that Andina invests any cash surplus in a portfolio of investment grade securities until such time as our board of directors makes a final decision as to the disposition of the surplus.
Derivative instruments are utilized only for business purposes, and never for speculative purposes. Forward currency contracts are used to cover the risk of local currency devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar in an amount approximately equal to our budgeted purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials. Depending on market conditions, instead of forward currency contracts, from time to time we prefer to utilize our cash surplus to purchase raw materials in advance to obtain better prices and a fixed exchange rate.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2012 vs Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2012
Cash flows from operating activities during 2012 amounted to Ch$188,857 million compared to Ch$138,950 million in 2011. The increase in cash flow generation came mainly from greater collections from clients partially offset by greater payments to suppliers, mainly due to the incorporation of Polar during the 4Q12. Cash flows from operating activities without considering the merger with Polar amounted to Ch$172,754 million.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2011 vs Cash Flows from Operating Activities 2010
Cash flows from operating activities during 2011 amounted to Ch$138,950 million compared to Ch$125,848 million in 2010. The increase in cash flow generation came mainly from greater collections from clients partially offset by greater payments to suppliers, due to greater sales volume and increased prices in line with local inflation in each country. Other operating cash flows did not vary significantly.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2012 vs Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2011
Cash flows for investing activities (includes purchase and sale of: property, plant and equipment; investment in associated companies; and financial investments) amounted to Ch$156,170 million in 2012 compared to Ch$89,621 million during 2012. The investment activities of Andina during 2012, without considering the effect of the merger with Polar amounted to Ch$149,334 million.
The main item of investing activities is the purchase of property, plant and equipment which went from Ch$126,931 million in 2011 to Ch$143,764 million in 2012. In 2012, and without considering the effect of the merger with Polar, Andina invested Ch$131,552 million. This figure is highly influenced by the investment in a new bottling facility in Chile. Also, during 2012 we liquidated net financial investments in the amount of Ch$13,410 million and during 2011 we liquidated net financial investments in the amount of Ch$35,938 million. However, as of December 31, 2011, we had Ch$30,480 million invested in time deposits and other short-term investments.
Finally, during 2012 was also materialized the purchase of 40% of the capital interest in Sorocaba Refrescos S.A., which resulted in a flow of investment of $33,497 million. Additionally, a capital contribution was made to subsidiary Vital Jugos S.A. for $2,380 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2011 vs Cash Flows from Investing Activities 2010
Cash flows for investing activities (includes purchase and sale of: property, plant and equipment; investment in associated companies; and financial investments) amounted to Ch$89,621 million in 2011 compared to Ch$80,504 million during 2010.
The main item of investing activities is the purchase of property, plant and equipment which went from Ch$95,462 million in 2010 to Ch$126,931 million in 2011. This figure is highly influenced by the investment in a new bottling facility in Chile. Also, during 2011 we liquidated net financial investments in the amount of Ch$35,938 million and during 2010 we liquidated net financial investments in the amount of Ch$25,590 million. However, as of December 31, 2011, we had Ch$46,959 million invested in time deposits and other short-term investments.
Finally, during 2011we carried out the sale of 43% of Vital Jugos, along with capital contributions in the associated company amounting to Ch$829 million.
During 2010 we carried out investments in Brazilian associated companies related to the iced tea and matte business, amounting to Ch$15,229 million, which was financed with own operating resources.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2012 vs Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2011
Our financing activities are directly related to dividend distributions to our shareholders, that record a utilization of cash resources amounting to Ch$69,766 million compared to $70,906 million during 2011, and borrowings from banks and payment of these loans, in order to finance these dividend payments and investments. Worth mentioning is that as a result of our business’ seasonality, we generate greater cash flows during the summer months (December through March), therefore during the winter season we require short term financing in order to fulfill our dividend and investment commitments.
As of that date, we had available short-term credit lines in an amount equivalent to Ch$77,370million. The aggregate unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$44,300 million. Our unused sources of liquidity include 17 lines of credit. In Chile, we had the equivalent of Ch$15,000 million in credit available from two separate lines. The unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$7,094 million. In Brazil, we had the equivalent of Ch$14,543 million in credit available with 4 lines. The unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$6,719 million. In Argentina, we had the equivalent of Ch$47,719 million in credit available with six lines. The unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$30,487 million. In Paraguay, we had the equivalent of Ch$33,751
million in credit available with five lines. The unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$32,655 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2011 vs Cash Flows from Financing Activities 2010
Our financing activities are directly related to dividend distributions to our shareholders, that record a utilization of cash resources amounting to Ch$70,906 million compared to $66,525 million during 2010, and borrowings from banks and payment of these loans, in order to finance these dividend payments and investments. Worth mentioning is that as a result of our business’ seasonality, we generate greater cash flows during the summer months (December through March), therefore during the winter season we require short term financing in order to fulfill our dividend and investment commitments.
As of that date, we had available short-term credit lines in an amount equivalent to Ch$109.160 million. The aggregate unused portion of such lines of credit at that date was equivalent to Ch$87.046 million.
Our unused sources of liquidity include 14 lines of credit. In Chile, we had the equivalent of Ch$32,010 million in credit available from two separate lines.

Liabilities
For the period ending December 31, 2012, our total liabilities, excluding non controlling interest, were Ch$646,231 million, representing a 102.0% increase compared to December 31, 2011. The increase in total liabilities resulted principally from increase on current and non-current financial liabilities, mainly due to the incorporation of the debt arising from the incorporation of Polar in 2012, and increases of debt arising from Andina to cover investment projects. Another item that significantly explains the increase of liabilities are deferred taxes generated by the recognition at fair value of the assets contributed by Polar. Finally, and as a result of the abovementioned merger, the balances of trade accounts payables record a significant increase caused by the greater level of operations in 2012, in relation to 2011. As of December 31, 2012, our non-current liabilities included (i) other non-current financial liabilities of Ch$173,880 million, (ii) other non-current provisions of Ch$6,423 million, (iii) deferred tax liabilities for Ch$111,415million; (iv) non-current employee benefit provisions for Ch$7,037 million; and (v) other non-current non-financial liabilities for Ch$2,106 million, totaling non-current liabilities for Ch$300,861 million during 2012 compared to Ch$123,337 million during 2011.
For the period ending December 31, 2012, our current liabilities, included (i) other current financial liabilities of Ch$106,248 million, (ii) commercial accounts and other accounts payable for Ch$184,318 million; (iii) current accounts payable to related entities for Ch$32,727 million; (iv) other current provisions for Ch$593 million; (v) current tax liabilities for Ch$1,115 million and (vi) other non financial current liabilities for Ch$20,369 million. Total current liabilities during 2012 amounted to Ch$345,370 million compared to Ch$196,644 million during 2011.
As of December 31, 2012, our bond liabilities had a weighted average interest rate of 5.25% while our bank liabilities had a weighted average interest rate of 6.23%.
Summary of Significant Debt Instruments
The following is a brief summary of our significant long-term indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2012:
Unsecured Notes. On October 1, 1997 we entered into an indenture pursuant to which we issued three series of bonds. One of which expired during in 2007. The indenture imposes certain restrictions on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, assets sales and subsidiary indebtedness and certain conditions in the event of merger or consolidation.
The two series of bonds issued in 1997 under this indenture are the following:
· US$100 million of 7.625% Unsecured Notes due 2027; and
· US$100 million of 7.875% Unsecured Notes due 2097.
The Company has repurchased, through our subsidiary Abisa Corp., for cash at par value the notes outstanding and the following notes were tendered:
· US$100 million of the 7.625% Unsecured Notes due 2027; and
· US$100 million of the 7.875% Notes due 2097.
During 2001, Andina completed a local bond placement in the Chilean capital markets of two series of bonds, one of which expired during 2008. The outstanding series as of December 31, 2011 is the following:
· UF 3.7 million Series B of bonds due 2026, with annual interest rate over inflation of 6.50%
Additionally, due to the merger with Polar, and as of December 31, 2012, Andina becomes creditor of two additional bond issuances placed in the Chilean market in 2010, with the following characteristics:
· UF 1.0 million Serie A of bonds, due 2017, with annual interest rate over inflation of 3.00%.
· UF 2.5 million Serie C of bonds due 2031, with annual interest rate over inflation of 4.00%.
The bond issue and placement in the Chilean market is subject to the following restrictions:
· Andina must maintain an indebtedness level wherein consolidated financial liabilities must be less than 1.20 times of Consolidated Shareholders´ Equity in the case of the Series B bond. For this purpose, Consolidated Financial Liabilities will be equal to accruing interest current liabilities, i.e (i) other current financial liabilities, plus (ii) other non-current financial liabilities. Consolidated Equity means Total Shareholders’ Equity including non-controlling interest
· For series A and C, Embotelladora Andina S.A. must keep in its quarterly financial statements a level of “Net Financial Debt” not exceeding 1.5 times, measured over the figures of the consolidated financial statement. For this purpose, the level of net financial debt shall be the ratio between the net financial debt and the issuer’s total equity (equity attributable to controlling owners and to non-controlling interests). Also, the term net financial debt shall mean the difference between the financial debt and the issuer’s cash.
· Andina must maintain consolidated assets free of any pledge, mortgage or other encumbrances for an amount equal to at least 1.30 times the consolidated liabilities that are not guaranteed by the investee.
· For Series B, it must be kept, and under no circumstance loose, sell, assign or transfer to a third party, the geographical area currently denominated “Metropolitan Region” as a franchised territory by The Coca-Cola Company in Chile, for the elaboration, production, sale and distribution of the products and brands of the licensor, according to corresponding Bottler or License Agreement, renewable from time to time.
· For Series B, not to lose, sell, assign or transfer to a third party any other territory of Argentina or Brazil that to this date is currently franchised to the Company by TCCC for the elaboration, production, sale and distribution of products and brands of the licensor; provided that, any such areas represent more than 40% of Consolidated Operating Cash Flow of the Issuer.
· For Series A and C, not to invest in securities issued by related parties, nor perform other operations outside of the ordinary course of business with such parties, under conditions that are less favorable to the Issuer in relation to those prevailing in the market .
· For series A and C it quarterly financial statements must keep a level of “Net Financial Debt Coverage” higher than 3 times.”Net Financial Debt Coverage “ shall mean the ratio between
issuer’s EBITDA of the last 12 months and the issuer’s net financial expenses (financial income less financial expenses) of the last 12 months. However, it will be understood that this restriction has been breached when said Net Financial Debt Coverage is below the level indicated above for 2 consecutive quarters.
5. C. Research and development, patents and licenses
Given the nature of the business and the support provided by TCCC as franchisor to its bottlers, the Company’s research and development expenses are not meaningful. For more information on patents and licenses, see “Patents and Licenses”.
5.D. Trend Information
Our results will likely continue to be influenced by changes in the level of consumer demand in the countries in which we operate, resulting from governmental economic measures that are or may be implemented in the future. Additionally, principal raw materials used in the production of soft drinks, such as sugar and resin, may experience price increases in the future. Such price increases may affect our results if we are unable to pass the cost increases on to the sales price of our products due to depressed consumer demand and/or heightened competition.
Increased competition from low-price brands is another factor that could limit our ability to grow, and thus negatively affect our results.
Finally, exchange rate fluctuations, in particular the potential devaluations relative to the U.S. dollar of local currencies in the countries in which we operate, may adversely affect our results because of the impact on the cost of U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials and the conversion of monetary assets.
5.E Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

B. Compensation
Compensation of Principal Officers
The Company does not have any incentive plans other than salaries. The compensation system is a mixed one, composed by a base salary and participation, which are in accordance with each market and the
competitive conditions of each one. For General Managers it also considers use of cash flow versus the budget and market share versus the established goals. Amounts are different depending on each officer, position and/or responsibility, but it is applicable to all of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2012, compensation paid out to the principal officers of Embotelladora Andina S.A. amounted to Ch$5,235 million (Ch$5,663 million in 2011). Of the Ch$5,235 million paid to the main officers of Embotelladora Andina S.A., the variable portion was 35.5% and for the period ended December 31, 2011 the variable portion was 42%. There were not severance payments to former managers or former principal officers for the period ended December 31, 20112.

C. Board Practices
Our board of directors has regularly scheduled meetings at least once a month, and extraordinary meetings are convened when called by the chairman or when requested by one or more directors. The quorum for a meeting of the board of directors is established by the presence of an absolute majority of its directors. Resolutions are passed by the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of those directors present at the meeting, with the chairman determining the outcome of any tie vote.
Executive Committee
The Company’s Board of Directors is counseled by an Executive Committee that proposes Company policies and is currently comprised by the following Directors: Mr. Arturo Majlis Albala, Mr. José Antonio Garcés Silva (junior), Mr. Gonzalo Said Handal, Eduardo Chadwick Claro and Mr. Salvador Said Somavía, who were elected during ordinary Board Session N°1,078 held July 31, 2012. It is also comprised by the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Juan Claro González and by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company who participate by own right. This committee meets permanently throughout the year and normally holds three or four monthly sessions.
Directors’ Committee
Pursuant to Article 50 bis of Chilean Company Law N°18,046 and in accordance to the dispositions of Circular N°1956 and Circular N°560 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, a new Directors’ Committee was elected during Board Session N°1078 dated July 31, 2012, applying the same election criteria set forth by Circular N°1956. Mr. Gonzalo Parot Palma (as Committee Chairman), Mr. Arturo Majlis Albala, and Mr. Enrique Cibie Bluth comprise the Committee.
The duties developed by this Committee during 2012, following the same categorization of faculties and responsibilities established by Article 50 bis of Company Law N°18,046 were the following:
· Examine the reports of external auditors, of the balance sheets and other financial statements, presented by the administrators or liquidators of the Company to the shareholders, and to take a position on such reports before they are presented to shareholders for their approval. In 2012 these matters were addressed during Sessions: N°106 on January 31; N°110 on May 29; N°112 on July 31; and N°116 on November 19.
· Propose names of External Auditors and Private Rating Agencies, accordingly to the Board of Directors that will then be proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting. This matter was addressed during Session N°108 on March 27, 2012.
· Examine information regarding the operations referred to by Title XVI of Law N°18,046 and report on these operations. For detailed information regarding these operations, please refer to the table on Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report. In 2012 these matters were addressed during Sessions: N°110 on May 29; N°115 on October 29; and N°116 on November 19.
· Examine the salary systems and compensation plans of managers, principal officers and employees. During 2012, the Committee was informed about the changes of company officers and of the new guidelines for salary and compensation plans. In addition, Company management informed the Committee that it is studying a new compensation system to be analyzed, approved and implemented during the year 2013. During January 2013 session, the Committee received and revised a report regarding Coca-Cola Andina’s salary and compensation system.
· Report to the Board of Directors whether it is convenient or not to hire an external auditing Company to render services that do not form part of the external audit, when they are not forbidden in accordance to article 242 of Chilean Law N°18,045, in that the nature of those services may generate a risk of loss of independence. In 2012 this matter was addressed during Sessions N°106 on January 31; Nº 110 on May 29; Nº111 on June 25; Nº112 on July 31; and Nº115 on October 29.
· All other matters required by Company bylaws or that may be required by the Shareholders’ Meeting or by the Board of Directors. During 2012, the following matters were addressed:

The main expenses incurred by the Directors’ Committee have been those resulting from counseling and research. During 2012 these expenses amounted to Ch$8.1 million.
Sarbanes-Oxley Audit Committee
In accordance with NYSE and SEC requirements regarding compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Board of Directors established the first Audit Committee on July 26, 2005. This Audit Committee is renewed every year. During Board Session N°1078 dated July 31, 2012, Mr. Gonzalo Parot Palma, Mr. Arturo Majlis Albala, and Mr. Enrique Cibié Bluth were elected as members of the Audit Committee. It was determined that Mr. Gonzalo Parot Palma and Mr. Enrique Cibié Bluth complied with the independence standards set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC and NYSE regulations. Mr. Enrique Cibié Bluth has been appointed by the Board of Directors as the financial expert in accordance with the definitions of the listing standards of the NYSE and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The resolutions, agreements and organization of the Audit Committee are governed by the rules relating to Board Meetings and to the Company’s Directors’ Committee. Since its creation, the sessions of the Audit Committee have been held with the Directors’ Committee, since some of the functions are very similar and the members of both of these Committees are the same.
The Audit Committee Charter defines the duties and responsibilities of this Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for analyzing the Company’s financial statements; supporting the financial supervision and rendering of accounts; ensuring management’s development of reliable internal controls; ensuring compliance by the audit department and external auditors of their respective roles; and reviewing auditing practices.
The main expenses incurred by the Audit Committee have been those resulting from counseling on tax matters. During 2012 these expenses amounted to Ch$17.1 million.

Management believes that is has good relations with its employees.
In Chile we continue to make provisions for severance indemnities in accordance with our collective bargaining agreements and labor legislations, in the amount of one month’s salary for every year of employment subject to certain restrictions. In addition, we complement our employees’ contribution to our health insurance system, thus decreasing health costs for the employees’ families. Employees are required to contribute funds for financing pension funds, which are mainly managed by private entities.
In Chile, 52.1% of employees with indefinite work contracts are members of labor unions. The following collective bargaining agreements are in effect as of December 31, 2012: (i) with Labor Union N° 1, that mainly represents workers from the Bottling area, from December 1, 2010 to November 30, 2015; (ii) with Labor Union N°2, that mainly represents personel from the areas of management, logistics and operations specialists from June 1, 2011 to June 31, 2015; (iii) with Labor Union N°3 that mainly represents sales force employees from May 1st, 2010 to April 31, 2014; (iv) with the new salesforce negotiating group from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2013; (v) with Labor Union TAR, that represents workers from the distribution area from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014; (vi) with the picking area workers from the Distribution Centers in Puente Alto, Maipú, Rancagua and San Antonio from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2014; and with the picking area workers from the Venecia, Renca and Carlos Valdovinos branches, from March 2011, to February 28, 2015 and (viii) collective agreement with a group of workers in the area of operations of the new plant Renca, effective as from October 1, 2011, until June 30, 2015.

Chilean Law 20,123 (regulates Subcontracting employment) beginning January 16, 2007. The most significant aspects are the following: (i) amendment on the responsibility that the main company formerly had with the workers of its contractors. The main company shared responsibility regarding labor and social security obligations that can affect contractors and subcontractors favoring the workers of the contractors and subcontractors, expressly including the corresponding legal indemnities pursuant to termination of the labor relation of the workers assigned to the services. Nevertheless, this responsibility could be supplementary if the main company exerts information and retention rights in accordance to the law; (ii) an obligation is established for the main company in the sense of adopting necessary measures to effectively protect the life and health of all workers who perform duties for the company, at any of the company’s locations; (iii) creation of the concept “temporary services companies” (EST for its meaning in Spanish-Empresa de Servicios Transitorios) that are solely and exclusively dedicated to providing workers to third parties as temporary workers for other companies; as well as selection, qualification and formation of workers and other activities within the scope of human resources; and (iv) jurisdictional faculties are granted to la Direccion del Trabajo by which resolutions of this organism could be appealed before the respective Court of Appeals. In 2009, Andina implemented different actions to assure a proactive fulfillment of the new law, among other actions, the Company incorporated a group of contractor workers, as company employees, updating service agreements and implementing a Labor Audit system with contractor companies. A Contractor Regulation was established along with an internal procedure for the hiring of contractors, which must be fulfilled permanently, and must include a process of pre-qualification and a compliance assessment.
In Brazil, 6.5% of employees are members of labor unions. Collective bargaining agreements are negotiated on an industry-wide basis, although companies can negotiate special terms for their affiliates that apply to all employees in each jurisdiction where companies have a plant. Collective bargaining agreements are generally binding for one year.
With respect to Andina Brazil, there are eight collective bargaining agreements currently in force. Six agreements for employees in the State of Rio de Janeiro; (i) the Soft Drink Industry Employees’ Union agreement from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013; (ii) the Sales Force Union agreement from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013; (iii) the “Stack Machine” Operator Union agreement from May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013; (iv) the Driver and Helper of the Lagos Region Union agreement from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013; (v) Collective bargaining agreement executed with the Drivers and Nova Iguaçu Helpers affective from May 1, 2012 until April 30, 2013, and (vi) Collective bargaining agreement executed with Drivers and São Gonçalo helpers effective form May 1, 2012 until April 30, 2013.. Two agreements for employees in the
State of Espírito Santo: (i) the Nourishment Union agreement from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013; (ii) the Sales Force Union agreement from December 1, 2012 to November 30, 2013. These agreements do not require us to increase wages on a collective basis. Selected increases were granted, however, mainly in the manufacturing area. We provide benefits to our employees according to the relevant legislation and to the collective bargaining agreements. Andina Brazil experienced its most recent work stoppages in January and October 1990, for eight days in each instance.
In Argentina, 71.6% of EDASA’s employees are parties to collective bargaining agreements and are represented by local workers’ unions associated with a national federation of unions. The Argentine Chamber of Non-Alcoholic Beverages of the Argentine Republic (Cámara Argentina de Industria de Bebidas sin Alcohol de la República Argentina (the “Chamber”) and the Argentine Workers Federation of Carbonated Water (Federación Argentina de Trabajadores de Aguas Gaseosas) (the “Federation”) are parties to a collective bargaining agreement that began July 29, 2008. On November 21, 2011, the Chamber and the Federation entered into a new collective bargaining agreement establishing new salaries, new non salary benefits and a new complementary regulation on company contributions.
Argentine law requires severance payments upon dismissal without cause in an amount at least equal to an average of one-month’s wages for each year of employment or a fraction thereof if employed longer than three months. Severance payments are subject to maximum and minimum amounts fixed by legislations and jurisprudence of the Justice Supreme Court of Argentina.
At the end of 2008 Congress sanctioned Law N° 26,425 by which beginning 2009, private pension funds were eliminated instructing that all employee contributions must be destined to the government social security system, Most of the health system in the Argentine territory is run by the unions through contributions from union and non-union employees.
In Paraguay, 20.5% of PARESA’s employees are members of labor unions. Collective bargaining agreements are negotiated with the company (Coca-Cola Paresa Paraguay). Unions can negotiate special terms for their members, which are applicable to all employees. Collective bargaining agreements generally have a two year term of duration.
Collective bargaining agreements that are currently in force are: (1) Collective bargaining agreement executed with Sindicato Autentico de Trabajadores de Paraguay Refrescos effective from June 16, 2011 to June 15, 2013; and (2) Sindicato de Empleados de Paraguay Refrescos effective from November 9, 2012 to May 3, 2014.

Dividend Policy
Pursuant to Chilean law, we must distribute cash dividends equal to at least 30% of our annual net income, calculated in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise provided for by a unanimous vote of the Series A shareholders. If there is no net income in a given year, we are not legally required to distribute dividends from accumulated earnings. At the annual meeting of shareholders held in April 2012, the shareholders authorized the board of directors to distribute, at its discretion, interim dividends during 2012 and beginnings of 2013.
During 2010, 2011 and 2012 the respective shareholders’ meetings approved additional dividend payments to be paid from retained earnings fund in light of significant cash generation. There can be no assurance that these additional dividend payments will be available in the future.

The total number of registered ADR holders Andina had at December 2012 was 35 (23 in the Series A ADRs and 12 in the Series B ADRs). As of this date the ADRs represented 6.3% of the total number of our issued and outstanding shares. On December 31, 2012, the closing price for the Series A shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange was Ch$2,436.90 per share (US$29.94 per Series A ADR), and Ch$3,011.70 for the Series B shares (US$37.97 per Series B ADR). At December 31, 2012, there were 1,512,260 Series A ADRs (equivalent to 9,073,560 Series A shares) and 8,377,208 Series B ADRs (equivalent to 50,263,248 Series B shares).
Trading activity on the Santiago Stock Exchange is on average substantially less than that on the principal national securities exchanges in the United States. We estimate that for the year ended December 31, 2012, Andina’s shares were traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange on an average of approximately 73.89% and 100% of such trading days, for Series A and Series B shares respectively.
Other than as previously discussed in “Item 7-Major Shareholders” we are not aware of any other existing contracts or documents that impose material limitations or qualifications on the rights of shareholders of our listed securities.
The Yankee Bonds
Our 7 5/8% Notes due 2027 and 7 7/8% Notes due 2097 are not listed on any stock exchange or other regulated market and through its subsidiary, Abisa Corp S.A. (formerly Pacific Sterling), Embotelladora Andina S.A. repurchased its Yankee Bonds issued on the U.S. Market during the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007 and 2008. The entire placement amounted to US$350 million, of which US$200 million are outstanding and are presented after deducting the long-term liability from the other financial liabilities item.
Debt Securities
The Central Bank is responsible, inter alia, for Chile’s monetary policies and exchange controls. The Central Bank has authorized Chilean issuers to offer bonds in Chile and abroad under the terms of Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales or CFER). The following paragraphs summarize some of the Central Bank rules on international bond issuances. This summary does not intend to be complete and those interested in a full description should refer to Chapter XIV of the CFER.
Effective April 19, 2001 the CFER greatly simplified the procedure to register capital contributions, investments and foreign loans, including bonds issuances. Payments or remittances of funds, to or from Chile, in connection with credits granted abroad should be made through the Formal Exchange Market, which is composed by the main commercial banks that operate in Chile. When foreign currency resulting from loans or bonds is made available to the beneficiary in the country, the intervening bank should issue the pertinent “Form” and request certain information from the debtor and creditor, as applicable, pursuant to Chapter XIV.
Payments or remittances of foreign currency as capital, interest, adjustments, profits and other benefits originating in the transactions regulated under Chapter XIV must be reported to the Central Bank as follows: (i) if the foreign currency represents a remittance made from Chile, the intervening Formal Exchange Market bank should issue the above form; (ii) the issuer or borrower should inform the Central Bank, within the first 10 days of the month following the date of the transaction, if the foreign currency used to make the pertinent payments originates from credit transactions for which the foreign currency has been used directly abroad or if the corresponding payment obligation is fulfilled abroad using funds other than those indicated in Chapter XIV.
Any change in the terms of the transaction must be reported to the Central Bank within 10 days after formalization. This requirement applies, among others, to the substitution of the debtor or creditor, total or
partial assignments of credits or rights and the modification of the financial terms of the respective credit regarding investments or capital contributions.
Exchange rule amendments dated April 2001 established that transactions recorded prior to April 19, 2001 will continue to be governed by the rules in force at the time they were recorded, but that the parties may choose to apply the new regulations.
These procedures also apply to foreign loans obtained through the placement of convertible bonds, in which case the issuer shall report to the Central Bank any increase or decrease in their registered amount as a result of the conversion of convertible bonds denominated and payable in Chilean pesos, for other convertible bonds denominated and payable in foreign currency or shares, as applicable, acquired by foreign investors with proceeds that had entered Chile under the terms of Chapter XIV.
According to Chapter XIV, the Central Bank established that credits relating to acts, agreements or contracts which create a direct obligation of payment or remittance of foreign currency abroad by persons domiciled or residing in Chile, that exceed on an individual basis the sum of US$100,000 or the equivalent in other foreign currencies, absent any special rule in the CFER, shall be reported to the Chilean Central Bank by the obligor either directly or through a Formal Exchange Market entity using the forms contained in the CFER, within 10 days from formalization.
In February 1999, after obtaining the requisite authorization from the Central Bank, we issued bonds in the international markets, subject to the exchange regulations in effect at that time. The main difference between the exchange regime applicable to our bond issuances and those currently in effect, is that in the case of our bond issuances the Central Banks warrants the access to currency markets. However, the regime applicable to our bond issuance has less flexibility as far as the procedures to carry out payments or remittances to bond holders.
We cannot give any assurance that the Central Bank will not impose future restrictions applicable to the holders of debt securities, nor can we make any evaluation of the duration or impact of such restrictions, if imposed.

C. Material Contracts
On August 30, 2012, Andina Brazil entered into a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement for the acquisition of 40% of the capital shares of Sorocaba Refreshments S.A., a manufacturer authorized by TCCC, based in the city of Sorocaba, State of São Paulo, owned by Compañía Maranhense de Refrigerantes (sucesora de Renosa Ind. Brasileira de Bebidas S/A) and in November 2012 RJR paid the purchase price of R$146,946,044.00
The General Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of Embotelladora Andina S.A. held on June 25, 2012, approved the merger (by absorption) of Embotelladora Coca Cola Polar S.A. and Embotelladora
Andina S.A. On September 28, 2012 Embotelladora Andina S.A. and Embotelladora Coca Cola Polar S.A. signed the public deed of the merger of their operations, in which they declared that merger has been materialized and perfected on October 1, 2012. This operation began on February 2, 2012, and allows Embotelladora Andina S.A. to consolidate its leading position in the business of bottling products licensed by The Coca-Cola Company in the southern cone and generate opportunities for growth and generation of value for its shareholders and employees. In practice, Embotelladora Andina S.A. is the second largest Coca-Cola bottler in South America and the seventh in the world, with operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. The transaction took the form of a merger (by absorption) and the exchange of newly issued shares of Andina, at a ratio of 0.33268606071 shares of Andina Series A shares and 0.33268606071 Andina Series B shares for each share of Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. The final process of exchange of shares took place on October 16, 2012.
During 2012, Andina Argentina held, among others, the following contracts with economic or strategic transcendent content: natural gas supply agreements, and electricity supply agreements; IP telephony services agreement (with supplier SIEMENS); purchase of new forklift agreement (with supplier Toyota) which are necessary due to enlargement of the Cordoba Plant Deposit; and agreement for the extension of the Deposit of Final Products and Patio of the Cordoba Plant (13,600 m2) and at the Bahia Blanca Plant (2,800 m2).
During 2012, PARESA executed a contract with TECNOEDIL S.A. building company for the construction of Warehouse 9, extension of Warehouse 8 for forklifts and the construction of the Distribution building, which represents additional storage capacity, the total contract value Gs.8,262,784,550. Additionally, on June 1, 2012 and agreement was signed with AZPA (Azucarera Paraguaya S.A.) for the supply of sugar, raw material, which considers the provision of 38.500 tons (Thirty eight thousand five hundred tons) until May 31, 2013, the total value of the contract is Gs.192,500,000,000.
In October 2011, Andina Brazil entered into an agreement with the company “Light Esco — Prestação de Serviços S/A”, for the construction and operation of an electrical cogeneration station at the Jacarepaguá bottling facility. The term of this agreement is 15 years, since the date on which the station begins operating, which would enter into operation towards the year 2013 and will ensure the supply of energy for the plant. The estimated value of the agreement is of $738 million reals. At the end of the contractual term, ownership of the cogeneration station will be transferred to Andina Brazil and equipment maintenance and upgrades will be carried out by Light Esco.
On June 30, 2011, Andina Brazil together with the other bottlers of the Coca-Cola System in Brazil, and Recofarma (company of the Coca-Cola Group Brazil), signed an amendement to the agreement with SABB - SISTEMA DE ALIMENTOS E BEBIDAS DO BRASIL, new corporate name of Sucos del Valle, approving the incorporation of Mais Indústria de Alimentos Ltda to SABB, and bottlers remained with 50% of the share capital of SABB. With this agreement, Andina Brazil went on to have a total ownership of 5.74% of the share capital of SABB.
During January of 2011, the juice business in Chile was restructured, allowing the incorporation of the other Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile in the property of Vital S.A. which changed its name to Vital Jugos S.A. Andina, Embonor S.A. and Embotelladora Coca-Cola Polar S.A. own 57%, 28% and 15%, respectively, of the outstanding capital of Vital Jugos S.A.
During 2011, Edasa, among others, entered into the following materially significant agreements: construction of the new plant for raw sugar; purchase of machinery and equipment for the REF PET line N°8 and N°7 (600 bottles per minute) ; construction and equipment for a new filling line for water and sensitive products; supply of natural gas; supply of electric power and long distance and inter-deposit service agreements.
D. Exchange Controls
Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile
The Central Bank is responsible, among other matters, for setting monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. As of April 19, 2001, the Chilean Central Bank (“CCB”) eliminated prior foreign exchange controls, imposed certain reporting requirements and determined that certain operations be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market (“FEM”). The main purpose of these amendments, as declared by the Central Bank, is to facilitate the flow of capital into Chile and outside the country and to foster foreign investment.
Equity investments in Chile (including investments in stock) by non-resident persons or entities must comply with some of the existing exchange control restrictions. Foreign investments may be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee (Comité de Inversiones Extranjeras) in accordance with Law N° 600 of 1974 and amendments or with the Central Bank in accordance with Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales or CFER) of the Central Bank. In the case of Decree Law N° 600, foreign investors execute a foreign investment agreement with Chile, thus guaranteeing access to the FEM. However, investors under Decree Law N° 600 will only be able to repatriate capital one-year after the investment. Earnings can be remitted abroad at any time. In the case of CFER, capital as well as earnings can be repatriated at any time, without an agreement with the Central Bank.
During 2001 the CCB eliminated certain exchange controls. For instance, it revoked Chapter XXVI of the CFER, which regulated the issuance and placement of ADRs by Chilean corporations. Pursuant to the new rules, the Central Bank’s approval is no longer a pre-condition for ADR issuances or foreign investment contracts with the CCB. ADR issuances are now regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, and the only requirements are that the CCB be informed of the transaction, by fulfilling the rules of Chapter XIV of the CFER, that mainly establishes that the monies come in or leave the country exclusively through the Formal Exchange Market, if the recipient of the investment decides to enter the foreign currency to the country or if it carries out payments or remittances from Chile.
Notwithstanding these changes, exchange transactions authorized prior to April 19, 2001 remained subject to the rules in force as of the date of such transactions. The new exchange regime did not affect Chapter XXVI of the CFER and the Foreign Investment Contract - FIC between Andina, the Central Bank and The Bank of New York Mellon (as depositary of the shares represented by ADRs). Notwithstanding the previous, the parties to the FIC may choose to adopt the norms imposed by the CCB, resigning to those of the FIC, and which has been the option we have taken until this date. The FIC is the agreement by which access to the FEM is given to the depositary and ADR holders. The FIC adopted the dispositions of Chapter XXVI and was celebrated pursuant to Article 47 of the Constitutional Organic Act of the CCB.
Under Chapter XXVI of the CFER, if the funds to purchase the common shares underlying the ADRs are brought into Chile, the depositary must deliver, on behalf of foreign investors, an annex providing information on the transaction to the Formal Exchange Market entity involved, together with a letter instructing such entity to deliver the foreign currency or the equivalency in pesos, on or before the date the foreign currency is brought or is to be brought into Chile.
Repatriation of amounts received with respect to deposited common shares or common shares withdrawn from deposits on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying common shares and any rights arising there from) need be made through the FEM. The FEM entity intervening in the repatriation must provide certain information to the CCB on the following banking business day.
Under Chapter XXVI and the FIC, the CCB agreed to grant to the depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing nor domiciled in Chile who acquire shares or replace ADRs for common stock, which we refer to as the Withdrawn Shares, FEM access to convert Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and to remit those dollars outside Chile including amounts received as: (i) cash dividends; (ii) proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares; (iii) proceeds from the sale in Chile of preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares; (iv) proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of
Andina; (v) proceeds resulting from capital decreases or earnings or liquidations; and (vi) other distributions, including those in respect of any re-capitalization resulting from holding shares, ADRs or by Withdrawn Shares.
The guarantee of FEM access under the FIC will extend to the participants of the ADR offering if the following requirements are met: (i) that the funds to purchase the shares underlying the ADRs are brought into Chile and converted into Chilean pesos through the FEM; (ii) that the purchase of the underlying shares is made on a Chilean stock exchange; and (iii) that within five business days from the conversion of the funds into Chilean pesos, the CCB is informed that the funds converted were used to purchase the underlying shares, if those funds are not invested in shares within that period, it can access the FEM to reacquire foreign currency, provided that the request is submitted to the CCB within seven banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos.
Chapter XXVI provides that FEM access in connection with dividend payments is conditioned to our certifying to the CCB that a dividend payment has been made and that any applicable tax has been withheld. Chapter XXVI also provides that FEM access in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares, or distribution thereon, is conditioned upon receipt by the CCB (i) a certificate by the depositary or custodian, as the case may be, that the shares have been withdrawn in exchange for delivery of the appropriate ADRs, and (ii) a waiver of the benefits of the FIC with respect to ADRs (except in connection with the proposed sale of the shares) until the Withdrawn Shares are re-deposited.
FEM access under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic. Pursuant to Chapter XXVI, such access needs the BCC’s approval on a request submitted to that end through a banking institution established in Chile. The FIC provides that if the BCC has not acted upon the request within seven banking days, the request is deemed to have been granted.
Under current Chilean law, the BCC cannot unilaterally change the FIC. The Chilean Courts (although not binding on future judicial decisions) also have established that the FIC cannot be annulled by future legislative changes. No assurance can be given, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, to the disposition of underlying shares, or to the repatriation of proceeds from their disposition, will not be imposed in the future; nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of any restrictions that might be imposed. If for whatever reason, including changes in the FIC or Chilean law, the Depositary is prevented from converting Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars; the investors shall receive dividends or other payments in Chilean pesos, which shall subject the investors to exchange rate risks. It cannot be assured that the CFER, as amended, or any other exchange regulation will not be amended in the future, or that if new regulations are enacted that they shall have no material bearing on Andina or the ADR holders.
No assurance can be given that Andina will be able to purchase U.S. dollars in the local exchange market at any time in the future, nor that any such purchase will be for the amounts necessary to pay any sum due under any of its capital or debt instruments. Likewise, it is not possible to guarantee that changes to the regulations of the CCB or other legislative changes relating to exchange controls will not restrict nor impair Andina’s ability to purchase U.S. dollars in order to make payment on its debt instruments.
E. Taxation
Tax Considerations Relating to Equity Securities
Chilean Tax Considerations
The following discussion summarizes the material Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in Andina’s stock or ADRs by an individual who is not domiciled or resident in Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment in Chile (a “foreign holder”). This discussion is based upon Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Ruling No. 324 of January 29, 1990 of the Servicio de Impuestos Internos (the Chilean Internal Revenue Service or “SII”) and other applicable regulations and rulings that are subject to change without notice. The discussion is not intended as a tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation. Each investor or potential investor is encouraged to seek independent tax advice with respect to consequences of investing in Andina’s stock or the ADRs.
Under Chilean law, all matters regarding taxation such as tax rates (including tax rates applicable to foreign investors), the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes, the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected, and others thereof, may only be imposed or amended by a law enacted by Congress. In addition, the SII is empowered to issue rulings and regulations of either general or specific application, and to interpret the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean tax may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations and interpretations, but the SII may change said rulings, regulations and interpretations prospectively. There is no income tax treaty in force between Chile and the United States.
Cash Dividends and Other Distributions
Dividends we pay with respect to the shares of stock held by a foreign holder will be subject to Chilean withholding tax at a rate of 35% (the “Withholding Tax”). The tax paid by the Company on profits originating from Chile from which the dividends are paid (the “First Category Tax”), imposed at a rate of 20%, will be credited against the Withholding Tax. The credit will increase the base upon which the Withholding Tax is imposed. Consequently, dividends that are attributable to current profits will be subject to an effective dividend withholding tax rate of 18.7%, calculated as follows:
|
| Ch$ |
|
Company taxable income |
| 100.0 |
|
First Category Tax (20.0% of Ch$100) |

Net dividend received |
| 65.0 |

|
|
|
|
Effective dividend withholding rate (15.0/80.0) |
| 18.7 | % |
Profits originating from Brazil, Argentina or Paraguay have a different tax treatment for credit on First Category Tax.
For purposes of determining the amount of First Category Tax we pay on profits from which the dividends are paid, dividends are attributed to our oldest retained profits.
The two aforementioned factors generate a profit origin mix and thus, an additional net tax withholding.
Dividend distributions made in property will be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends. Our stock dividends are not subject to Chilean taxation.
Capital Gains
Gains recognized from the sale or exchange of ADRs by a foreign holder outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Gains recognized on a sale or exchange of shares of stock will be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being credited against the latter) if either: (i) the foreign holder has held the shares of common stock for less than one year, (ii) the foreign holder acquired and disposed of the shares of common stock in the ordinary course of its business or as an habitual trader of shares; or (iii) the foreign holder transfers shares of common stock to a related person, as defined by Chilean tax law. In all other cases, gain on the disposition of shares of common stock will be subject only to the First Category Tax, currently imposed at a rate of 17%, except if it is for shares resulting from an exchange of ADRs for shares (flow back) in which case, the Chilean Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Oficio 1,705 dated May 15, 2006 has interpreted that said shares may benefit from article 18 ter if the ADRs were acquired through a stock broker or by any other circumstance stipulated by that norm.
The tax basis of shares of common stock received in exchange for ADRs will be determined in accordance with the valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which values shares of common stock at the highest reported sales price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the withdrawal of the shares of common stock from the depositary. Consequently, the conversion of ADRs into shares of common stock, and the immediate sale of the shares for the value established under the deposit agreement, will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile. However, in the case where the sale of the shares is made on a day that is different than the date in which the exchange is recorded, capital gain subject to taxation in Chile may be generated. In connection thereto, on October 1, 1999 the Chilean Internal Revenue Service issued Ruling No. 3708 whereby it allowed Chilean issuers of ADRs to amend the deposit agreements to which they are parties in order to include a clause that states that, in the case that the exchanged shares are sold by the ADRs’ holders on a Chilean Stock Exchange either on the same day in which the exchange is recorded or within the two business days prior to such date, the acquisition price of such exchanged shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stock broker that participated in the sale transaction. Consequently, should this amendment be included in the deposit agreement, the capital gain that may be generated if the exchange date is different than the date in which the shares received in exchange for ADRs were sold, will not be subject to taxation. We reiterate that if a contributor in good faith adopts Oficio 1,705, then the excess value will not be subject to taxation in Chile.
The distribution and exercise of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Any gain on the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being credited against the latter).
Other Chilean Taxes
No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADRs by a foreign holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of shares of common stock by a foreign holder. No Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties apply to foreign holders of ADRs or shares of common stock.
Withholding Tax Certificates
Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of Chilean withholding taxes.
United States Tax Considerations Relating toADRs or Shares of Common Stock
The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in ADRs or shares of common stock. This discussion is based upon U.S. federal income tax laws presently in force. The discussion is not a full description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase ADRs or shares of common stock. In particular, the discussion is directed only to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold ADRs or shares of common stock as capital assets, and it does not address the tax treatment of holders that are subject to special tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”), such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, investors in pass-through entities, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, persons holding ADRs or shares of common stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, holders of 10% or more of our voting shares, persons liable for alternative minimum tax or persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions there under as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, the discussion below assumes that the Deposit Agreement, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms. If a partnership holds our ADRs or shares of common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding ADRs or shares of common stock should consult their tax advisors. This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the United States federal income tax consequences to a holder in light of its particular circumstances and does not address the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors about the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADRs or shares of common stock.
As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a holder of ADRs or shares of common stock that is (i) an individual U.S. citizen or resident, (ii) a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust that: (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and with respect to which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
If the obligations contemplated by the deposit agreement are performed in accordance with its terms, ADR holders generally will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the owners of the shares of common stock represented by those ADRs. Deposits or withdrawals of shares of common stock by U.S. holders in exchange for ADRs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that intermediaries in the chain of ownership bewtween the holder of an ADR and the issuer of the security underlying the ADR may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits for U.S. holders of ADRs. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced rate of tax, described below, applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate holders. Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of Chilean taxes and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by that intermediaries in the chain of ownership bewtween the holder of an ADR and the Company.
Cash Dividends and Other Distributions
Cash dividends (including the amount of any Chilean taxes withheld) paid to U.S. holders with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock generally will be treated as dividend income to such U.S. holders, to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such income will be includable in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary income on the day received by the Depositary, in the case of ADRs, or by the U.S. holder, in the case of shares of common stock. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders, certain dividends received before January 1, 2011 from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as
a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shares (or ADRs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADRs (which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange), but not our shares of common stock, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our shares of our common stock that are not backed by ADRs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. There can be no assurance that our ADRs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Non-corporate holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Non-corporate U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances.
Dividends paid in Chilean pesos will be includable in income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate in effect on the day of receipt by the Depositary, in the case of ADRs, or by the U.S. holder in the case of shares of common stock, regardless of whether the Chilean pesos are converted into U.S. dollars. If the Chilean pesos received as dividends are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder will have a basis in the Chilean pesos equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Chilean pesos will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss, regardless of whether the pesos are converted into U.S. dollars.
The Chilean Withholding Tax (net of any credit for the First Category Tax) paid by or for the account of any U.S. holder may be eligible, subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions, for credit against the U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock generally will be foreign source income and will generally constitute passive category income. Further, in certain circumstances, a U.S. holder that (i) has held ADRs or shares of common stock for less than a specified minimum period during which it is not protected from risk of loss or (ii) is obligated to make payments related to the dividends, will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on ADRs or shares of common stock. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Distributions to U.S. holders of additional shares of common stock or preemptive rights with respect to shares of common stock that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of the Company generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADRs or shares of common stock (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by the investor on a subsequent disposition of the ADRs or shares of common stock), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. Consequently, such distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally would not give rise to foreign source income and a U.S. holder generally would not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Chilean withholding tax imposed on such distributions unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against U.S. taxes due on other foreign source income in the appropriate category for foreign tax credit purposes. However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. holder should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).
We do not believe that we are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”), and expect to continue our operations in such a manner that we will not be a PFIC. If, however, we are or become a PFIC, U.S. holders could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on
gain recognized with respect to the ADRs or shares of common stock and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred by the U.S. holder under the PFIC rules of the U.S. federal income tax laws.
Non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us prior to January 1, 2011, if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.
Capital Gains
U.S. holders that hold ADRs or shares of common stock as capital assets will recognize capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the sale or other disposition of such ADRs or shares (or preemptive rights with respect to such shares) held by the U.S. holder or the Depositary. Capital gains of individuals derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Consequently, in the case of a disposition of shares of common stock (which, unlike a disposition of ADRs, may be taxable in Chile), the U.S. holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit for Chilean tax imposed on the gain unless it can apply (subject to applicable limitations) the credit against tax due on other income from foreign sources.
Estate and Gift Taxation
As discussed above under “Chilean Tax Considerations — Other Chilean Taxes,” there are no Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the transfer or disposition of ADRs by a foreign holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of shares of common stock by a foreign holder. The amount of any inheritance tax paid to Chile may be eligible for credit against the amount of U.S. federal estate tax imposed on the estate of a U.S. holder. U.S. holders should consult their personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they may be entitled to such credit. The Chilean gift tax generally will not be treated as a creditable foreign tax for U.S. tax purposes.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends in respect of ADRs or the shares of common stock or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange, or redemption of the ADRs or the shares of common stock paid within the United States (and in certain cases, outside of the United States) to U.S. holders other than certain exempt recipients. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or certification of other exempt status or fails to report interest and dividends required to be shown on its federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Tax Considerations Relating to Debt Securities
General
In October 1997, we issued US$100 million of 7.625% Unsecured Notes due 2027 and US$100 million of 7.875% Unsecured Notes due 2097 (together the “Debt Securities”). The following is a summary of certain Chilean tax and U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Debt Securities. The summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase Debt Securities. This summary does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, locality or taxing jurisdiction other than the United States and Chile.
This summary is based on the tax laws of Chile and the United States as in effect on the date hereof, as well as regulations, rulings and decisions of Chile and the United States available on or before such date and
now in effect. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of this summary.
There is currently no tax treaty between the United States and Chile.
Chilean Tax Considerations
The following is a general summary of the material consequences under Chilean tax law, as currently in effect, of an investment in the Debt Securities made by a Foreign Holder. The term “Foreign Holder” means: (i) an individual, who is not a resident in Chile (for purposes of Chilean taxation, an individual is resident in Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six months in one calendar year, or a total of more than six months in two consecutive fiscal years); or (ii) a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile, unless the Debt Securities are assigned to a branch or an agent, representative or permanent establishment of such entity in Chile.
Under Chile’s Income Tax Law, payments of interest made in respect of the Debt Securities to a Foreign Holder will generally be subject to a Chilean withholding tax (the “Chilean Interest Withholding Tax”) currently assessed at a rate of 4.0%. If the Debt Securities are issued through our offshore branch, payment to Foreign Holders of Debt Securities by such branch generally will not be subject to the Chilean withholding tax.
Chile’s Income Tax Law provides that any capital gains realized on the sale or other disposition by a Foreign Holder of the Debt Securities generally will not be subject to any Chilean income taxes provided that such sale or other disposition occurs outside of Chile (except that any premium payable on redemption of the Debt Securities will be treated as interest and subject to the Chilean Interest Withholding Tax, as described above).
A Foreign Holder will not be liable for gift, inheritance or similar taxes with respect to its holdings unless the securities held by a foreign holder:
· are located in Chile at the time of such Foreign Holder’s death, or
· if they are located outside of Chile, they were purchased or acquired with funds derived from Chilean source income,
The initial issuance of the Debt Securities by a foreign entity (be they a company or a branch) is generally not subject to stamp taxes in Chile. If stamp taxes apply, a foreign or Chilean holder will not be liable for Chilean stamp, registration or similar taxes because these would be payable by the Company.
United States Tax Considerations Relating to Debt Securities
The following summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership of Debt Securities by U.S. holders (as defined below) as of the date hereof. Except where noted, it deals only with Debt Securities held as capital assets and does not deal with special situations, such as those of dealers in securities or currencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt entities, investors in pass-through entities, persons holding the Debt Securities as a part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax or holders of Debt Securities whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions there under as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. If a partnership holds our Debt Securities, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding our Debt Securities should consult their tax advisors.
Persons considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Debt Securities should consult their own tax advisors concerning the federal income tax consequences in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
As used herein, a “U.S. holder” of the Debt Securities means a holder of the Debt Securities that is (i) an individual U.S. citizen or resident, (ii) a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and with respect to which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decision of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
Payments of Interest
Interest on the Debt Securities will generally be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with the U.S. holder’s method of accounting for tax purposes. In addition to interest on the Debt Securities, a U.S. holder will be required to include in income any additional amounts and any tax withheld from interest payments notwithstanding that such withheld tax is not in fact received by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may be entitled to deduct or credit such tax, subject to applicable limitations in the Code, including that the election to deduct or credit foreign taxes applies to all of the U.S. holder’s foreign taxes for a particular year. Interest income, including Chilean taxes withheld there from and additional amounts on the Debt Securities, generally will constitute foreign source income and generally will be considered passive category income, which is treated separately from other types of income in computing the foreign tax credit that may be allowable to U.S. holders under U.S. federal tax laws. A U.S. holder will generally be denied a foreign tax credit for Chilean taxes imposed with respect to the Debt Securities where such a holder does not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which the holder is not protected from risk of loss.
The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. We urge investors to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Market Discount
If a U.S. holder purchases a Debt Security for an amount that is less than its principal amount, the amount of the difference will be treated as “market discount” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, the U.S. holder will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a Debt Security as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that the U.S. holder has not previously included in income and is treated as having accrued on the Debt Security at the time of its payment or disposition.
In addition, the U.S. holder may be required to defer, until the maturity of the Debt Security or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the Debt Security. A U.S. holder may elect, on a bond-by-bond basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors before making this election.
Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the Debt Security, unless the U.S. holder elects to accrue on a constant interest method. A U.S. holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.
Amortizable Bond Premium
A U.S. holder that purchases a Debt Security for an amount in excess of its principal amount will be considered to have purchased the Debt Security at a “premium.” The U.S. holder may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the Debt Security on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under the holder’s regular accounting method. If the U.S. holder does not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss the holder would otherwise recognize on disposition of the Debt Security.
Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Debt Securities
Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the Debt Securities, a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition (less any accrued interest, which will be taxable as such if not previously included in income) and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Debt Securities. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Debt Securities generally will be the U.S. holder’s cost therefore, increased by market discount previously included in income, and reduced by any amortized premium. Except as described above with respect to market discount, gain or loss realized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the Debt Securities will generally be capital gain or loss. Gain or loss realized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the Debt Securities will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Consequently, a U.S. holder may not be able to claim a credit for any Chilean tax imposed on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the Debt Securities due to limitations on the foreign tax credit under the Code. Capital gains of individuals derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal and interest on the Debt Securities and to the proceeds of the sale of the Debt Securities made to U.S. holders other than certain exempt recipients. A backup withholding tax will apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide its taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt status, or, in the case of interest payments, fails either to report in full dividend and interest income or to make certain certifications.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Special Tax Considerations Relating to the 2097 Debentures
As a result of the 2097 Debentures’ 100 year term, it is not certain whether such Debentures will be treated as debt or as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have taken the position that the 2097 Debentures constitute debt for financial reporting and U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our position, however, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service. Although classification of the 2097 Debentures as equity generally would not significantly affect a U.S. holder’s taxable income resulting from an investment in the 2097 Debentures, the discussion that follows also briefly describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that would arise if the 2097 Debentures were not treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If the 2097 Debentures are treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the potential differences in the U.S. federal income tax treatment to U.S. holders of the 2097 Debentures that would result include (i) payments denominated as interest on the 2097 Debentures (including additional amounts) would be reclassified as dividends to the extent paid out of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company (as determined using U.S. federal income tax principles) and (ii) U.S. holders would be required to report such payment amounts as ordinary income when actually or constructively received (instead of accruing such amounts as interest, even if such U.S. holders are accrual method taxpayers). To the extent any such payments exceed such earnings and profits, they would be treated as a return of capital or capital gain (although, as we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders should expect that such payments will generally be treated as dividends). Amounts
treated as dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed U.S. corporations. In addition, because our 2097 Debentures are not readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, we do not believe that any amounts treated as dividends currently meet the conditions required for the reduced tax rates that apply to qualified dividend income received by non-corporate U.S. holders. Persons considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of the 2097 Debentures should consult their own tax advisors concerning additional potential tax consequences, including those arising upon a sale, exchange or redemption of the 2097 Debentures, which could result from the treatment of the 2097 Debentures as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

I. Subsidiary Information
Not applicable.
ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We are exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our business due to our use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting in various foreign currencies and translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into the Chilean peso.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary interest rate exposures relate to U.S. dollar denominated and UF long-term fixed rate bond liabilities and other long-term variable and fixed rate bank liabilities. We also invest in certain medium-term bond securities that bear a fixed interest rate. We monitor our exposure to interest rate fluctuations regularly depending on market conditions.
The following table provides information about our long-term debt and bond investments that are sensitive to changes in market interest rates as of December 31, 2012.

Foreign Currency Risk
As of December 31, 2011, the Company only has short-term liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, which are counterbalanced by cash balances and mutual funds also denominated in that currency, thus the risk of exposure to the accrual of fluctuations of the value of the US dollar is low. Net assets balance is denominated in dollars as of December 31, 2012, which amounts to $2,393 million as detailed below:

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 12.D.3. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPITS
The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for our ADRs. ADR holders are required to pay various fees to the depositary, and the depositary may refuse to provide any service for which a fee is assessed until the applicable fee has been paid.
ADR holders are required to pay the depositary amounts in respect of expenses incurred by the depositary or its agents on behalf of ADR holders, including expenses arising from compliance with applicable law, taxes or other governmental charges, or conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars. The depositary may decide in its sole discretion to seek payment by either billing holders or by deducting the fee from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions.
ADR holders are also required to pay additional fees for certain services provided by the depositary, as set forth in the table below.
Depositary service |
| Fee payable by ADR holders |
Issuance and delivery of ADRs, including in connection with share distributions |
| Up to US$ 5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) |
Withdrawal of shares underlying ADRs |
| Up to US$ 5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) |
Registration for the transfer of shares |
| Registration or transfer fees that may from time to time be in effect |
Cash distribution fees |
| US$ 0.02 or less per ADS |
In addition, holders may be required to pay a fee for the distribution or sale of securities. Such fee (which may be deducted from such proceeds) would be for an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the fee for the issuance of ADRs that would be charged as if the securities were treated as deposited shares and (2) the amount of such proceeds.
12.D.4 DIRECT AND INDIRECT PAYMENTS BY THE DEPOSITARY
Fees Incurred in Past Annual Period
From January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011, the Company received from the depositary US$125,112.74 for continuing annual stock exchange listing fees, standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs (consisting of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls), any applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility, underwriting fees and legal fees.
Fees to be Paid in the Future
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses they incur that are related to establishment and maintenance expenses of the ADR program. The depositary has agreed to reimburse the Company for its continuing annual stock exchange listing fees. The depositary has also agreed to pay the standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs, which consist of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls. It has also agreed to reimburse the Company annually for certain investor relationship programs or special investor relations promotional activities. In certain instances, the depositary has agreed to provide additional payments to the Company based on any applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse the Company, but the amount of reimbursement available to the Company is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors.
The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADRs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADRs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees.

The information requested by this item has been previously provided in the annual report for the year 2004. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Part A. History and Development of the Company.”
ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND DISCLOSURE PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a—15(f) and 15d—15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
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 as issued by the IASB. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions or our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that our receipts an 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 our financial statements.
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. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Controls—Integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.
Management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the acquired company Embotelladoras Coca Cola Polar S.A. and the subsidiaries Vital Jugos S.A., Vital Aguas S.A. and Envases Central S.A. which are included in the 2012 consolidated financial statements of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries, and constituted 20% and 15% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2012 and 9% and 6% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries, also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Embotelladoras Coca Cola Polar S.A. and subsidiaries.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 has been audited by the Company’s registered independent accounting firm, which opinion is stated in their report, included on pages F-2 and F-3 herein.
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Enrique Cibié Bluth is our Audit Committee Financial Expert as defined in the instructions to Item 16A of Form 20-F. Our board of directors has also determined that Mr. Enrique Cibié Bluth and Mr. Gonzalo Parot Palma are Independent Directors as defined in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that constitutes a code of ethics for our employees. This Code applies to our Chief Executive Officer and all senior financial officers of our Company, including the Chief Financial Officer or any other persons performing similar functions, as well as to all other officers and employees of the Company. Our Code of Business Conduct is available on our website www.embotelladoraandina.com. If we make any substantive amendment to the Code or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on the above mentioned website through a 6-K form.

(1) Audit fees consist of services that would normally be provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including services that generally only the independent accountant can reasonably provide.
(2) Audit-related fees relate to assurance and associated services that traditionally are performed by the independent accountant, including: attest services that are not required by statute or regulation; accounting consultation and audits in connection with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; employee benefit plans audits; and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.
(3) Tax fees relate to services performed by the tax division for tax compliance, planning, and advice.
Directors’ Committee and Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
We have adopted pre-approval policies and procedures under which all audit and non-audit services provided by our external auditors must be pre-approved by our Director’s Committee and Audit Committee and then it is discussed and approved by these committees during its meetings, which take place at least four times a year. Once the proposed service is approved, our subsidiaries or we formalize the engagement of services. In addition, the members of our board of directors are briefed on matters discussed by the different committees of our board of directors.
ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES
The Company’s Audit Committee is comprised of Gonzalo Parot Palma, Enrique Cibié Bluth and Arturo Majlis Albala.
The Company discloses that, with respect to the current membership of Mr. Salvador Said and Mr. Arturo Majlis Albala on the Company’s Audit Committee, it has relied on the exemption from the independence requirements provided by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(D) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended . Pursuant to said rule, a director who is either an affiliate or a representative of an affiliate of the listed company may serve as a member of the audit committee to the extent the director is not a voting member or chairperson of the audit committee and to the extent that neither the director nor the affiliate the director represents is an executive officer of the listed company.
Mr. Arturo Majlis Albala meet, for the duration of his membership, the requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(D) because they (i) he is a representative of the controlling shareholder group of the Company; (ii) has an observer-only status on the audit committee of the Company; and (iii) is not officers of the Company.
The Company’s reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3of the Exchange Act, with respect to Mr. Arturo Majlis Albala, would not materially adversely affect the ability of the audit committee of the Company to act independently.
ITEM 16E. PURCHASERS OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Previous independent registered public accounting firm
On April 25, 2013, Andina dismissed Ernst & Young Limitada as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon the filing of this 2012 Form 20-F which would contain Ernst & Young Limitadas’ PCAOB audit report dated April 30, 2012 on the Company’s 2012 consolidated financial statements. Andina’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of Ernst & Young Limitada on the consolidated financial statements for the past two fiscal years (specifically the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011) contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertain, audit scope or accounting principle.
During the two most recent fiscal years (specifically the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011) and through April 30, 2012, there have been no disagreements with Ernst & Young Limitada on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young Limitada would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years.
During the two most recent fiscal years (specifically the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011) and through April 30, 2013, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Andina requested that Ernst & Young Limitada furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees or not with the above statements. Ernst & Young Limitadas’ letter dated April 30, 2012 is filed as Exhibit 8.2 filed herewith.
New independent registered public accounting firm
Andina engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores Auditores y Compañía Limitada public accountants as its new independent registered public accounting firm as of April 25, 2013. During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 25, 2013, Andina has not consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores Auditores y Compañía Limitada regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Andina’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to Andina or oral advice was provided that PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores Auditores y Compañía Limitada concluded was an important factor considered by Andina in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(I)(v) of Regulation S-K.

|
|
|
|
303A.01 |
| Members of the Board of Directors must be independent in their majority. |

EMBOTELLADORA ANDINA S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Consolidated Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Embotelladora Andina S.A.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 30, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
/s/ERNST & YOUNG LIMITADA
Santiago, Chile, April 30, 2013
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Embotelladora Andina S.A.:
We have audited Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“the COSO criteria”). Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) 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.
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.
As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the acquired companies Embotelladoras Coca Cola Polar S.A. and its subsidiaries, Vital Jugos S.A., Vital Aguas S.A. and Envases Central S.A. which are included in the 2012 consolidated financial statements of Embotelladora Andina S.A., and constituted 20% and 15% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2012 and 9% and 6% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries, also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Embotelladoras Coca Cola Polar S.A. and subsidiaries.
In our opinion, Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the consolidated statements of financial position of Embotelladora Andina S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated April 30, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

EMBOTELLADORA ANDINA S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - CORPORATE INFORMATION
a) Securities Registration and description of business
Embotelladora Andina S.A. is registered under No. 00124 of the Securities Registry and is regulated by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (SVS) pursuant to Law 18,046.
Embotelladora Andina S.A. (hereafter “Andina,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) engages mainly in the production and sale of Coca-Cola products and other Coca-Cola beverages. The Company has operations in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. In Chile, the geographic areas in which the Company has distribution franchises are regions II, III, IV, XI, XII, Metropolitan Region, Rancagua and San Antonio. In Brazil, the Company has distribution franchises in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Niteroi, Vitoria, and Nova Iguaçu. In Argentina, the Company has distribution franchises in the provinces of Mendoza, Córdoba, San Luis, Entre Ríos, Santa Fe, Rosario, Santa Cruz, Neuquén, El Chubut, Tierra del Fuego, Río Negro, La Pampa and the western zone of the Province of Buenos Aires. In Paraguay the franchised territory is the whole country.
The Company holds separate distribution licenses from The Coca-Cola Company for all of its territories. The licenses for the territories in Chile expire in 2013 and 2018; in Argentina they expire in 2013 and 2017; in Brazil they expire in 2017; while in Paraguay it expires in 2014. All these licenses are renewable on similar terms, unless either the Company or The Coca-Cola Company choose not to do so. The Company currently expect that the licenses will be renewed upon expiration based on similar terms and conditions.
As of December 31, 2012 the Freire Group and related companies hold 55.35% of the outstanding shares with voting rights corresponding to the Series A shares.
The main offices of Embotelladora Andina S.A. are located at Avenue El Golf 40, 4th floor, municipality of Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. Its taxpayer identification number is 91.144.000-8.
b) Merger with Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A.
On March 30, 2012, after completion of due-diligence procedures, the Company signed a Promissory Merger Agreement with Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A. (“Polar”). Polar is also a Coca-Cola bottler with operations in: Chile, servicing territories in the II, III, IV, XI and XII regions; Argentina, servicing territories in Santa Cruz, Neuquén, El Chubut, Tierra del Fuego, Río Negro La Pampa and the western zone of the province of Buenos Aires; and Paraguay, servicing the whole country. The merger was made in order to reinforce the Company’s leadership position among Coca-Cola bottlers in South America.
NOTE 1 - CORPORATE INFORMATION (Continued)
The merger is being accounted for as the acquisition of Polar by the Company. Prior to closing, the merger was approved by the shareholders of both of the companies, as well as the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, and the Coca-Cola Company. The terms of the merger prescribed the exchange of newly issued Company shares at a rate of 0.33269 Series A shares and 0.33269 Series B shares, for each outstanding share of Polar.
The physical exchange of shares took place on October 16, 2012, with which former shareholders of Polar then having a 19.68% ownership interest in the merged Company. Based upon the terms of the executed agreements, the actual control over day-to-day operations of Polar transferred to the Company as of October 1, 2012, and the Company began consolidating Polar’s operations from that date forward. Additionally and as a result of Embotelladora Andina becoming the legal successor of Polar’s rights and obligations, the Company indirectly acquired additional ownership interest in Vital Jugos S.A., Vital Aguas S.A. and Envases Central S.A. that added to its previous ownership interest in those entities. The Company’s current ownership enables it to exercise control over these entities, and thus incorporate them into the consolidation of the consolidated financial statements beginning October 1, 2012.
Under IFRS 3, because the acquisition of control over Vital Jugos S.A. and Vital Aguas S.A, and Envases Central S.A. was made in stages, the preexisting equity method investment must be valued at fair value at the time of de-recognition, with the differences between fair value and book value being recognized in the result of the period in which control is obtained. The Company has not recognized a gain (or loss) in its 2012 results, because book values of the equity method investments approximated their fair values at the date of de-recognition.
A total of 93,152,097 Series A shares and 93,152,097 Series B shares were issued at closing in exchange for 100% of Polar’s outstanding shares. The total purchase price was ThCh$461,568,641 based on a share price of Ch$2,220 per Series A share and Ch$2,735 per Series B share on October 1, 2012. There are no contingent purchase price provisions. Transaction related costs of Ch$4,517,661 were expensed as incurred, and recorded as a component of other expenses by function in the Company’s accompanying consolidated income statement..

The Company carried out the fair value of distribution rights, property, plant and equipment with the assistance of third-party valuations. Distribution rights are expected to be tax deductible for income tax purposes.
The Company expects to recover goodwill through related synergies with the available distribution capacity. Goodwill has been assigned to the cash generating unit of the Company in Chile (ThCh$8,503,023), Argentina (ThCh$1,041,633), and Paraguay (ThCh$6,915,412). Goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible for income tax purposes.
Included in the summary of net assets acquired above is ThCh$ 7,364,780 of other non-current assets related to the 15.0% equity investment in Vital previously owned by Polar. Upon Vital’s ultimate consolidation by the Company, the current and non-current assets of the Company did not change significantly.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Periods covered
Consolidated statements of financial position: At December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Consolidated income statements by function and comprehensive income: For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Consolidated statements of cash flows: For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, using the “direct method”.
Consolidated statements of changes in equity: For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Rounding: The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Chilean pesos and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated.
2.2 Basis of preparation
The accompany consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The Company’s 2012 Spanish language IFRS consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 28, 2013, with subsequent events first being considered through that date. Those Spanish language IFRS consolidated financial statements consisted of consoliated statements of financial position as of December, 31 2012 and 2011 along with consolidated income statements by function, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows (and related disclosures), each for the two years then ended. Those Spanish language IFRS consolidated financial statements were then subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders during its April 25, 2013 meeting.
Included in this 2012 English language translation IFRS consolidated financial statements are consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, along with consolidated income statements by function, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows (and the related disclosures) for each of the three years ended December 31, 2012. This three year presentation of operations, changes in equity and cash flows is required by the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than such three year presentation and disclosure, the accompanying English language IFRS consolidated financial statements are consistent with the previously issued Spanish language IFRS consolidated financial statements. This three year English language IFRS consolidated financial statements were approved for issuances by the Board of
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Directors during a session held on April 30, 2013, with subsequent events considered through this later date.
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on accounting records kept by the Embotelladora Andina S.A. (“Parent Company”) and by other entities forming part thereof. Each entity prepares its financial statements following the accounting principles and standards applicable in each country. Adjustments and reclassifications have been made, as necessary, in the consolidation process to align such principles and standards and then adapt them to IFRS.
For the convenience of the reader, these consolidated financial statements have been translated from Spanish to English, as explained above.
2.3 Basis of consolidation
2.3.1 Subsidiaries
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Financial Statements of the Parent Company and the companies it controls (its subsidiaries). The Company has control when it has the power to direct the financial and operating policies of a company so as to obtain benefits from its activities. They include assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Income or losses from subsidiaries acquired or sold are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition through the effective date of sale, as applicable.
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The acquisition cost is the fair value of assets, of equity securities and of liabilities incurred or assumed on the date that control is obtained. Identifiable assets acquired and identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are accounted for initially at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess acquisition cost plus non-controlling interest above the fair value of the Group’s share in identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. If the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in income.
Intra-group transactions, balances, and unrealized gains and losses, are eliminated. Whenever necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries are modified to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company.
The value of non-controlling interest in equity and the results of the consolidated subsidiaries is presented in Equity; non-controlling interests, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in “net income attributable to non-controlling interests,” in the Consolidated Income Statements by Function.
The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and cash flows after eliminating intra-group balances and transactions.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.3.2 Equity method investments
Associates are all entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
The Company’s share in income and losses subsequent to the acquisition of associates is recognized in income.
Unrealized gains in transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest the Company holds in those associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless there is evidence in the transaction of an impairment loss on the asset being transferred. Whenever necessary, the accounting policies of associates are adjusted for reporting purposes to assure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company.
2.4 Financial reporting by operating segment
IFRS 8 requires that entities disclose information on the revenues of operating segments. In general, this is information that Management and the Board of Directors use internally to evaluate the profitability of segments and decide how to allocate resources to them. Therefore, the following operating segments have been determined based on geographic location:
· Chilean operations
· Brazilian operations
· Argentine operations
· Paraguayan operations
2.5 Foreign currency translation
2.5.1 Functional currency and currency of presentation
The items included in the financial statements of each of the entities in the Company are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity does business (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Chilean pesos, which is the parent company’s functional currency and presentation currency.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.5.2 Balances and transactions
Foreign currency transactions are converted to the functional currency using the foreign exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction. The gains and losses resulting from the settlement of these transactions and the conversion of the foreign currency—denominated assets and liabilities at the closing foreign exchange rates are recognized in the income account by function.
The foreign exchange rates and values prevailing at the close of each of the periods presented were:

2.5.3 Translation of foreign subsidiaries
The financial position and results of operations of all entities in the Company (none of which use the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) operating under a functional currency other than the presentation currency are translated to the presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities in each statement of financial position are translated at the closing foreign exchange rate as of the reporting date;
(ii) Income and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the average foreign exchange rate for the period; and
(iii) All resulting translation differences are recognized as other comprehensive income.
The companies that use a functional currency different from the presentation currency of the parent company are:
Company |
| Functional currency |
Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. (Brazil Segment) |
| R$ Brazilian Real |
Embotelladora del Atlántico S.A. (Argentina Segment) |
| A$ Argentine Peso |
Andina Empaques Argentina S. A. (Argentina Segment) |
| A$ Argentine Peso |
Paraguay Refrescos S. A. (Paraguay Segment) |
| G$ Paraguayan Guaraní |
In the consolidation, the translation differences arising from the conversion of a net investment in foreign entities are recognized in other comprehensive income. Exchange rate differences from accounts receivable which are considered to be part of an equity investment, have been recognized as comprehensive income net of deferred taxes, if applicable. On disposal of the investment, those translation differences are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on the disposal of the investment.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.6 Property, plant, and equipment
The assets included in property, plant and equipment are recognized at their historical cost or the cost given as of the date of application of IFRS, less depreciation and cumulative impairment losses.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of the items less government subsidies resulting from the difference between the market interest rates of the financial liabilities and the preferential government credit rates. The historical cost also includes revaluations and price-level restatement of opening balances (attributed cost) at January 1, 2009, due to first-time exemptions in IFRS.
Subsequent costs are included in the value of the original asset or recognized as a separate asset only when it is likely that the future economic benefit associated with the elements of property, plant and equipment will flow to the Company and the cost of the element can be dependably determined. The value of the component that is substituted is derecognized. The remaining repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement in the fiscal period in which they incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Other assets, net of residual value, are depreciated by distributing the cost of the different components on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life, which is the period during which the Company expects to use them.
The estimated useful lives by asset category are:
Assets |
| Range in years |
|
Buildings |
| 30-50 |
|
Plant and equipment |
| 10-20 |
|
Warehouse installations and accessories |
| 10-30 |
|
Other accessories |
| 4-5 |
|
Motor vehicles |
| 5-7 |
|
Other property, plant and equipment |
| 3-8 |
|
Bottles and containers |
| 2-8 |
|
The residual value and useful lives of assets are revised and adjusted at each reporting date, if necessary,
When the value of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, the value is reduced immediately to the recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment are calculated by comparing the disposal proceeds to the carrying amount, and are charged to the income statement.
Items available for sale and that fulfill the conditions under IFRS 5 “Non-Current Assets Available for Sale” are separate from property, plant and equipment are presented under current assets as the lower value between book value and fair value less costs of sale

2.7 Intangible assets and Goodwill
2.7.1 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess cost of acquisition and non-controlling interest over the fair value of the Company’s share in identifiable net assets of the subsidiary on the acquisition date. The goodwill is recognized separately and tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the carrying amount of the goodwill related to that entity.
The goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGU) in order to test for impairment losses. The allocation is made to CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination that generated the goodwill.
2.7.2 Distribution rights
Distribution rights correspond to contractual rights to produce and distribute products under the Coca-Cola brand in certain territories in Argentina, Chile and Paraguay acquired during the Polar merger discussed in Note 1 b). Distribution rights have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized, given that that the Company believes that the bottling agreements will be indefinitely renewed by the Coca-Cola Company upon similar terms and conditions. They are subject to impairment tests on a yearly basis.
2.7.3 Water rights
Water rights that have been paid for are included in the group of intangible assets, carried at acquisition cost. They are not amortized since they have no expiration date, but are annually tested for impairment.
2.8 Impairment losses
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as intangibles related to distribution rights and goodwill, are not amortized and are annually tested for impairment loss. Amortizable assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever there is an event or change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. The carrying value of the asset exceeding its recoverable amount is recognized as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or its value in use.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In order to evaluate impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that were impaired are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if the impairment loss should be reversed.
2.9 Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and accounts receivable, and assets held until maturity. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition.
2.9.1 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets available for sale. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired mainly for the purpose of being sold in the short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
Losses or gains from changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in the income statement under finance income or expenses during the year in which they occur.
2.9.2 Loans and accounts receivable
Loans and accounts receivable are not quoted in an active market. They are recorded in current assets, unless they are due more than 12 months from the reporting date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets. Loans and accounts receivable are included in trade and other accounts receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position and they are presented at their amortized cost.
2.9.3 Financial assets held to maturity
Other financial assets corresponds to bank deposits that the Company’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold until their maturity. They are recorded in current assets because they mature in less than 12 months from the reporting date and are presented at their amortized cost, less impairment.
Accrued interest is recognized in the consolidated income statement under finance income during the year in which it occurs.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.10 Derivatives and hedging
The derivatives held by the Company correspond to transactions hedged against foreign currency exchange rate risk and the price of raw materials, property, plant and equipment, loan obligations and materially offset the risks that are hedged.
The method to recognize the resulting loss or gain, as well as its classification within the balance, depends on if the derivative has been appointed as a hedging instrument and of the item being hedged.
2.10.1 Hedging derivative instruments
Hedging derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and the effect is recorded under assets, liabilities, income and expenses, along with any change in the reasonable value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the risk covered.
2.10.2 Non-hedging derivative instruments
The derivatives are accounted for at fair value. If positive, they are recorded under “other current financial assets”. If negative, they are recorded under “other current financial liabilities.”
The Company’s derivatives agreements do not qualify as hedges pursuant to IFRS requirements. Therefore, the changes in fair value are immediately recognized in the income statement under “other income and losses”
The Company does not use hedge accounting for its foreign investments.
The Company has also evaluated the derivatives implicit in financial contracts and instruments to determine whether their characteristics and risks are closely related to the master agreement, as stipulated by IAS 39.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company has recorded a liability as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 foreign exchange derivatives contracts classified within the other current financial liabilities (current financial liabilities). These contracts are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Assumptions different to quoted prices included in Level 1 and that are applicable to assets and liabilities, be it directly (as price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from a price).
Level 3: Assumptions for assets and liabilities that are not based on information observed directly in the market.
During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers of items between fair value measurements categories all of which were valued during the period using Level 2.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.11 Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished products and of work in progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing overhead (based on operating capacity) to bring the goods to marketable condition, but it excludes interest expense. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any variable cost of sale.
Estimates are also made for obsolescence of raw materials and finished products based on turnover and ageing of the items involved.
2.12 Trade receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recognized initially at amortized cost, given the short term in which they are recovered, less any impairment loss. A provision is made for impairment losses on trade accounts receivable when there is objective evidence that the Company will be incapable of collecting all sums owed according to the original terms of the receivable, based either on individual analyses or on global aging analyses. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced as the provision is used and the loss is recognized in administrative and sales expenses in the consolidated income statement by function.
2.13 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and on hand, time deposits in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments and low risk of change in value with purchased original maturities of three months or less.
2.14 Other financial liabilities
Bank funding such as debt securities issued are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs. Liabilities with third parties are later valued at amortized cost. Any difference between the funding obtained (net of the costs required to obtain it) and the reimbursement amount is recognized in the income statement during the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method.
2.15 Government subsidies
Government subsidies are recognized at their fair value when it is sure that the subsidy will be received and that the Company will meet all the established conditions.
Operating cost-related subsidies are deferred and recognized on the income statement in the period of the corresponding operating cost.
Subsidies for the purchase of property, plant and equipment are deducted from the cost of the related asset in property, plant and equipment and recognized on the income statement, on a straight-line basis during the estimated useful life of the related asset.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.16 Income tax
The Company and its subsidiaries in Chile account for income tax according to the net taxable income calculated by the rules in the Income Tax Law. Subsidiaries abroad account for income taxes according to the regulations of the country in which they operate.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet - liability method on the temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements, using the tax rate in the year of reversal of the difference.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be offset.
The Company does not recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences from investments in subsidiaries and associates in which the Company can control the timing of reversal and it is likely that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
2.17 Employee benefits
The Company has established a provision for post-retirement compensation according to years of service that will be paid to its employees according to the individual and collective contracts in place. This provision is accounted for at the actuarial value in accordance with IAS 19. The positive or negative effect on compensation because of changes in estimates (turnover, mortality, retirement, and other rates) is recorded directly in income.
The Company also has an executive retention plan. It is accounted for as a liability according to the guidelines of the plan. This plan grants certain executives the right to receive a fixed cash payment on a pre-set date once they have completed the required years of employment.
The Company and its subsidiaries have made a provision account for the cost of vacation and other employee benefits on an accrual basis. This liability is recorded under provisions.
2.18 Provisions
Provisions for litigation and other contingencies are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
2.19 Leases
a) Operating
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
b) Financial
Property, plant and equipment assets where the Company substantially maintains all the risks and benefits derived from them are classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lesser of the fair value of property plant and equipment asset leased and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
2.20 Deposits for returnable containers
This is a liability comprised of cash collateral received from customers for bottles and other returnable containers made available to them.
The liability pertains to the deposit amount that is reimbursed if the customer or distributor returns the bottles and cases in good condition, together with the original invoice. Estimation of the liability is based on the inventory of bottles given as a loan to clients and distributors, the estimated amount of bottles in circulation, and a historical average weighted value per bottle or case.
Deposits for returnable containers are presented as a current liability because the Company does not have a legal right to defer settlement for a period in excess of one year. However, the Company does not anticipate any material cash settlements for such amounts during the upcoming year.
2.21 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenue is presented net of value-added tax, returns, rebates, and discounts and net of sales between the companies that are consolidated.
The Company recognizes revenue when earned and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
Revenues are recognized once the products are physically delivered to clients.
2.22 Contributions of The Coca-Cola Company
The Company receives certain discretionary contributions from The Coca-Cola Company, related to the financing of advertising and promotional programs for its products in the territories where it has distribution licensing. The resources received are recorded as a reduction in marketing expenses in the consolidated income statement. Given its discretionary nature, the portion of contributions received in one period does not imply it will be repeated in the following period.
In certain limited situations there is a legally binding agreement with The Coca-Cola Company through which the Company receives contributions for the building and acquisition of specific elements of property, plant and equipment. In those situations, payments received pursuant to these agreements are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the respective assets acquired.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.23 Dividend payments
Dividend payments to the Company’s shareholders are recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, based on the obligatory 30% minimum in accordance with the Corporations Law.
2.24 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Company makes estimates and judgments about the future. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts. The estimates and judgments that might have a material impact on future financial statements are explained below:
2.24.1 Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of indefinite useful life
The Company tests if goodwill and intangible assets of indefinite useful life (such as distribution rights) have suffered impairment loss on an annual basis or whenever there are indicators of impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units are determined based on calculations of the value in use. The key variables that management calculates include the volume of sales, prices, marketing expenses and other economic factors. The estimation of these variables requires a material administrative judgment as those variables imply inherent uncertainties. However, the assumptions are consistent with our internal planning. Therefore, management evaluates and updates estimates according to the conditions affecting the variables. If these assets are deemed to have become impaired, they will be written off at their estimated fair value or future recovery value according to discounted cash flows.
2.24.2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
IFRS requires in certain cases that assets and liabilities be recorded at their fair value. Fair value is the amount at which an asset can be purchased or sold or the amount at which a liability can be incurred or liquidated in an actual transaction among parties duly informed under conditions of mutual independence, different from a forced liquidation.
The basis for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value are the current prices in the active market. Lacking such an active market, the Company estimates said values based on the best information available, including the use of models or other valuation techniques.
The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets acquired as a result of the Polar merger based on the multiple period excess earning method, which implies the estimation of future cash flows generated by the intangible asset, adjusted by cash flows that do not come from the intangible asset, but from other assets. For this, the Company estimated the time during which the intangible asset will generate cash flows, the cash flows themselves, cash flows from other assets and a discount rate.
Other assets acquired and implicit liabilities in the business combination are carried at fair value using valuation methods that are considered appropriate under the circumstances including the cost of depreciated recovery and recent transaction values for comparable assets, among others. These methodologies require certain inputs to be estimated, including the estimation of future cash flows.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.24.3 Allowances for doubtful accounts
The Company evaluates the possibility of collecting trade accounts receivable using several factors. When the Company becomes aware of a specific inability of a customer to fulfill its financial commitments, a specific provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the amount that the Company estimates will ultimately be collected. In addition to specifically identifying potential uncollectible customer accounts, allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on historical collection history and a general assessment of trade accounts receivable, both outstanding and past due, among other factors. The balance of the Company’s trade accounts receivable was ThCh$159,540,993 at December 31, 2012 (ThCh$114,618,699 at December 31, 2011), net of an allowance for doubtful accounts provision of ThCh$1,486,749 at December 31, 2012 (ThCh$1,544,574 at December 31, 2011).
2.24.4 Useful life, residual value and impairment of property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of those assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model, or changes in its capital strategy might modify the effective useful lives as compared to our estimates. Whenever the Company determines that the useful life of property, plant and equipment might be shortened, it depreciates the excess between the net book value and the estimated recoverable amount according to the revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned use of manufacturing equipment, dispensers, and transportation equipment or computer software could make the useful lives of assets shorter. The Company reviews the impairment of long-lived assets each time events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of any of those assets might not be recovered. The estimate of future cash flows is based, among other things, on certain assumptions about the expected operating profits in the future. Company estimates of non-discounted cash flows may differ from real cash flows because of, among other reasons, technological changes, economic conditions, changes in the business model, or changes in the operating profit. If the sum of non-discounted cash flows that have been projected (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the asset, the asset will be written down to its estimated fair value.
2.24.5 Liabilities for returnable container collateral
The Company records a liability for deposits received in exchange for bottles and cases provided to its customers and distributors. This liability represents the amount of the deposit that must be returned if the client or distributor returns the bottles and cases in good condition, together with the original invoice. This liability is estimated on the basis of an inventory of bottles given on loan to customers and distributors, estimates of bottles in circulation and the weighted average historical cost per bottle or case. Management must make several assumptions in relation to this liability in order to estimate the number of bottles in circulation, the amount of the deposit that must be reimbursed and the timing of disbursements.

2.25 New IFRS and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRSIC)
The following IFRS and Interpretations of the IFRSIC have been published:
New Standards |
| Mandatory |
IFRS 9 Financial instruments: Classification and measurement |
| January 1, 2015 |
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements |
| January 1, 2013 |
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements |
| January 1, 2013 |
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities |
| January 1, 2013 |
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement |
| January 1, 2013 |
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
This Standard introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and early application is permitted. All financial assets must be classified in their entirety on the basis of the Company’s business model for financial asset management and the characteristics of contractual cash flows of financial assets. Under this standard, financial assets are measured at the amortized cost or fair value. Only financial assets classified as measured at the amortized cost must be impairment-tested. This standard applies to years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and it can be adopted earlier.
IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” / IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements”
This Standard supersedes the part of IAS 27 on Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements that spoke of accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes matters in SIC-12, Special-Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes one single control model that applies to all entities (including special purpose or structured entities). The changes made by IFRS 10 will require that management exercise significant professional judgment in determining which entity is controlled and which must be consolidated.
IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”/ IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”
IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-Monetary Contributions by Joint Ventures. IFRS 11 uses some of the terms used in IAS 31, but with different meanings. IAS 31 identifies three types of joint ventures, but IFRS 11 only considers of two types (joint ventures and joint operations) when there is a joint control. Since IFRS 11 uses the IFRS 10 principle of control to identify control, determining whether there is a joint control can change. Moreover, IFRS 11 takes away the alternative of accounting for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using a proportional consolidation. Instead, JCEs meeting the definition of joint ventures must be accounted for using the equity method. An entity must recognize the assets, liabilities, income and expenses, if any, of joint operations, which include jointly controlled assets, former jointly controlled operations and former JCEs.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
IFRS 12 includes all consolidation-related disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 as well as all disclosures previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to the interests in related companies, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required.
IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
IFRS 13 establishes a new guide on how to measure fair value, when required or permitted by IFRS. When an entity must use the fair value remains the same. The standard changes the definition of fair value—Fair Value: The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Some new disclosures are also added.
Additionally it incorporates some new disclosures

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure
An amendment to IAS 7 was issued in December 2011 that requires entities to disclose under financial information the effects or possible effects of the compensation agreements of the financial instruments over the entity’s financial position. The rule is applicable beginning January 1, 2013.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
June 28, 2012 the IASB issued amendments to clarify the transition guidance to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendments also provide additional transition exceptions in the application of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in other Entities, limiting the requirement to provide restated comparative information only for the preceding comparative period. On the other hand, for the first year that IFRS 12 is applied, the requirement to present comparative information for the disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities is removed. Effective date for the amendments are the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, also aligned with the effective date of IFRS 10, 11 and 12.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”
Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle issued in May 2012, amended paragraphs 10, 38 and 41, eliminated paragraphs 39-40 and added paragraphs 38A-38D and 40A-40D, clarifying the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally the minimum comparative period required is the previous period. An entity must include comparative information in the notes related to the financial statements when the entity voluntarily supplies comparative information beyond the minimum comparative period required. The additional comparative period does not need to contain a complete set of financial statements. Also, opening balances of the financial statements (known as the third balance sheet) must be presented in the following circumstances: when the entity changes its accounting policies; carries out retroactive restatements or reclassifications, and that this change has a material effect on the financial statement. The initial balance of the financial statement would be as of the previous period. However, contrary to voluntary comparative information, the related notes are not required to accompany the third balance sheet. An entity will apply these amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as long as it is disclosed.
IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”
Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle issued in May 2012, amended paragraph 8. The amendment clarifies that spare parts and auxiliary equipment that fulfill the definition of property, plant and equipment are not considered inventory. An entity will apply this amendment retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as long as it is disclosed.
IAS 19 — “Employee Benefits”
On June 16 2011, the IASB published an amended IAS 19 — Employee Benefits that change accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The amendments require recognition of changes in the defined benefit liability (asset) plan, eliminating the use of the corridor approach and accelerating the recognition of past service costs. Changes in the defined benefit liability (asset) plan are separated in three components: service cost, net interest on liability (asset) for defined benefits and re-measurements of liability (asset) for defined benefits.
Net interest is calculated using the rate of return for high-quality corporate bonds. This could be lower than the rate currently used to calculate the expected return over plan assets, resulting in a decrease of earnings for the period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, early adoption is permitted. Retrospective application is required with certain exceptions.
IAS 27 — Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
In May 2011, IASB issued a revised IAS 27 with an amended title — Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements establishes a single control model that applies to all entities and the requirements relating the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
Issued in May 2011, IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, prescribes accounting of investments in associates and establishes the requirements of application on the equity method to investments in associates and joint ventures.
IAS 32 “Financial Instruments — Presentation”
Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle issued in May 2012, amended paragraphs 35, 37 and 39 and added paragraph 35A, that clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes. The amendment removes existing income tax requirements from IAS 32 and requires entities to apply the requirements in IAS 12 to any income tax arising from distributions to equity holders. An entity will apply these amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and applies to annual periods beginning on January 1, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as long as it disclosed.
IAS 32 amendments issued in December 2011 clarify the differences in the application regarding compensation and reduce the diversity in the current application. The rule is applicable beginning January 1, 2014 and early application is permitted.
IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”
Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle issued in May 2012, amended paragraph 16A. The amendment clarifies the requirements in IAS 34 relating to segment information for total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment to enhance consistency with the requirements in IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Amended paragraph 16A establishes that total assets and liabilities for a particular reportable segment need to be disclosed only when the amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change in the total amount disclosed in the entity’s previous annual financial statements for that reportable segment.
An entity will apply this amendment retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and applies to annual periods beginning on January 1, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as long as it disclosed.
Management of the Company and its subsidiaries have studied the impact of these new standards and have asserted they do not materially impact these consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — REPORTING BY SEGMENT
The Company provides information by segments according to IFRS 8 “Operating Segments,” which establishes standards for reporting by operating segment and related disclosures for products, services, and geographic areas.
The Company’s Board of Directors and Management measures and evaluates performance of segments according to the operating income of each of the countries where there are franchises.
The operating segments are determined based on the presentation of internal reports to the senior officer in charge of operating decisions. That officer has been identified as the Company Board of Directors as the board makes strategic decisions.
The segments defined by the Company for strategic decision-making are geographic. Therefore, the reporting segments correspond to:
· Chilean operations
· Brazilian operations
· Argentine operations
· Paraguayan operations
The four operating segments conduct their business through the production and sale of soft drinks, other beverages, and packaging.
The income and expense related to corporate management are assigned to the Chilean operation in the operating segment.
The total income by segment includes sales to unrelated customers and inter-segment sales, as indicated in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.
A summary of the operations by segment of the Company is detailed as follows, according to IFRS:

NOTE 13 — INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD (Continued)
The main movements for the periods ended 2012, 2011 and 2010 are detailed as follows:
· A special shareholders meeting of Vital S.A., a Company subsidiary, held on January 5, 2011, approved a capital increase of ThCh$1,278,000, which was paid in full on January 7, 2011. It also approved changing the name of the company to Vital Jugos S.A.
· On January 21, 2011, subsidiaries Andina Bottling Investments S.A. and Andina Inversions Societarias S.A. together sold a 43% ownership interest in Vital Jugos S.A. to Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar S.A., (15%) and Coca-Cola Embonor S.A. (28%), for an amount of ThCh$6,841,889, resulting in a gain of ThCh$ 653,214 which is presented as other gains (losses) in the income statement.
As a result of the transactions, the Andina Company lost control of Vital Jugos S.A., given that despite maintaining 57% ownership, substantive participating rights existed on behalf of the other shareholders (in the then shareholders agreement) in that at least one vote is required from the rest of the bottlers of Coca-Cola system for decision-making of financial policies and operation of the business. Accordingly, beginning on January 21, 2011, Vital Jugos S.A., was thus treated as investments accounted for using the equity method, being excluded from the consolidation. Additionally, because of the loss of control of Vital Jugos S.A., according to the guidelines of IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the investment remaining in the Company’s possession (amounting to ThCh$867,414) was recognized as a component of “Share in profit (loss) of equity method investees” within the income statement, at December 31, 2011.
· During the months of March and April 2011, capital contributions were made to Vital Jugos S.A., for a total amount of ThCh$3,249,000.
· Holdfab2 Participacoes Societarias Ltda. was established in Brazil on March 23, 2010, along with the Coca-Cola bottlers for the purpose of concentrating their investments in the company Leon Junior S.A., in which our subsidiary Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. has a 36.40% ownership interest, capital contributions amounted to ThCh$15,229,291 and were carried out on August 23, 2010. These amounts are included as a component of the “capital increases in equity investees” disclosed above.

15.2.4 Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the issuance and placement of the Company’s Series B bonds on the Chilean market in 2001, as well as Series A and C bonds, for a total of UF 6,200,000. Of that amount, UF 5,798,646.34 is outstanding:
· Embotelladora Andina S.A. must maintain a debt level in which consolidated financial liabilities do not exceed 1.20 times the consolidated equity in the case of Series B bonds. As defined in the debt agreements, consolidated financial liabilities will be considered to be current interest-accruing liabilities, namely: (i) Other financial liabilities, plus (ii) Other non-current financial liabilities. Total equity plus non-controlling interests will be considered consolidated Equity.
· For Series A and C bonds, Embotelladora Andina S.A. must maintain a net financial indebtedness that does not exceed 1.5 times in its quarterly financial statements, measured against its consolidated financial statements. For these effects, financial indebtedness level shall be defined as the ratio between net financial debt and total equity of the issuer (equity attributable to controlling shareholders plus non controlling interest). On the other hand, net financial debt is the difference between financial debt and cash balance of the issuer.
· Consolidated assets must be kept free of any pledge, mortgage or lien for an amount at least equal to 1.30 times the consolidated unsecured current liabilities of the issuer.
As of December 31, 2012 the amounts included in this restriction are the following: |
| ThCh$ |
|
Consolidated Assets free from pledges, mortgages and other taxes: |
| 1,521,286,596 |
|
Non-guaranteed outstanding liabilities |
| 280,128,213 |
|
Based on these figures Consolidated Assets free from pledges, mortgages and other taxes are equal to 5.4 times of non consolidated outstanding liabilities.
NOTE 15 — OTHER CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (Continued)
· For Series B bonds the franchise of The Coca-Cola Company in Chile, called Metropolitan Region, must be maintained and in no way forfeited, sold, assigned or transferred to a third party. This franchise is for the elaboration, production, sale and distribution of Coca-Cola products and brands according to the bottlers’ agreement or periodically renewable licenses.
· For Series B bonds, the territory now under franchise to the Company by The Coca-Cola Company in Argentina or Brazil, which is used for the preparation, production, sale and distribution of Coca-Cola products and brands, must not be forfeited, sold, assigned or transferred to a third party, provided such territory represents more than 40% of the adjusted consolidated operating flow of the Company.
· For A and C lines, not invest in instruments issued by related parties, nor engage in other activities with these parties that are not related to their general purpose, in conditions that are less favorable to the Issuer than those existing in the market.
· For A and C lines, maintain in quarterly financial statement, a Net Financial Hedging higher than 3 must be maintained. Net Financial Hedging shall be the ratio between EBITDA of the issuer for the last 12 months and the net financial expenses (financial income less financial expenses) of the issuer for the last 12 months. However, this restriction will be deemed to be not in compliance when the mentioned net financial hedging level is lower than the lever before mentioned for two consecutive quarters.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
15.2.5 Repurchased bond
In addition to UF bonds, the Company holds bonds issued by itself that it has repurchased in full through companies that are integrated in the consolidation:
Through its subsidiaries, Abisa Corp S.A. (formerly Pacific Sterling), Embotelladora Andina S.A. repurchased its Yankee Bonds issued on the U.S. Market during the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007 and 2008. The entire placement amounted to US$350 million, of which US$200 million are outstanding and are presented after deducting the long-term liability from the other financial liabilities item.
Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. holds a liability corresponding to a US$75 million bond issue expiring in December 2020, with semi-annual interest payments. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, those bonds were held in full by Abisa Corp S.A., (formerly Pacific Sterling). Consequently, the assets and liabilities relating to that transaction have been eliminated from these consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, that transaction has been treated as an investment by the Company in the Brazilian subsidiary, so the effects of foreign exchange differences between the dollar and the functional currency of each of the entities have been charged to other comprehensive income.
15.2.6 Fair value of financial liabilities
The fair value of financial liabilities is similar to its book value, except for the bonds outstanding, which had a fair value of $176.4 million and $89.5 million as of December 31. 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 19 — EQUITY (Continued)
19.2 Dividend policy
According to Chilean law, cash dividends must be paid equal to at least 30% of annual net profits, barring a unanimous vote by shareholders to the contrary. If there is no net profit in a given year, the Company will not be legally obligated to pay dividends from retained earnings. At the April, 2012 Annual Shareholders Meeting, the shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to pay interim dividends during July and October 2012 and January 2013, at its discretion.
During 2012, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved an extraordinary dividend payment against the retained earnings fund. It is not guaranteed that those payments will be repeated in the future.
Regarding Circular Letter N°1945 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, the Company does not present any adjustments to be made in order to determine distributable net earnings to comply with minimum legal amounts.
Pursuant to Circular Letter N° 1,945 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance dated September 29, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to maintain the initial adjustments of adopting IFRS as retained earnings for future distribution.
Retained earnings at the date of IFRS adoption amounted to ThCh$19,260,703, of which ThCh$3,564,500 have been realized at December 31, 2012 and are available for distribution as dividends in accordance with the following:

NOTE 20 — DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company held the following derivative liabilities at December 31, 2012 and 2011:
20.1 Currency forwards of items recognized for accounting purposes:
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had agreements to guaranty bank liabilities in Brazil denominated in US dollars for an amount of ThUS$71.429, to convert them to reais at a different tax rate. The valuation of said agreements was at fair value with a net loss of ThCh$333,427. The effect of these agreements have been recognized as current financial liabilities and financial costs within the statement of income as of December 31, 2012.
20.2 Currency forwards for highly probable expected transactions:
During 2010, the Company made agreements to hedge the exchange rate in the purchases of fixed assets in a foreign currency during 2011. Those agreements were recorded at the fair value, resulting in a net profit of ThCh$134,572 for the year ended at December 31, 2011. No such agreements were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011. Since these agreements did not meet the documentation requirements of IFRS to be considered hedges, they were accounted for as investment contracts and the effects recorded directly in income.
In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company made agreements to hedge the exchange rate in the purchases of raw materials and future flows in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The outstanding agreements totaled ThUS$140,000 at December 31, 2012 (ThUS$42,500 at December 31, 2011). Those agreements were recorded at fair value, resulting in a net loss of ThCh$1,102,412 for the year ended at December 31, 2012 (net gain of ThCh$1,347,277 at December 31, 2011), and liabilities for derivative contracts of ThCh$394,652 were recognized at December 31, 2012 (liabilities of ThCh$163,718 at December 31, 2011). Since these agreements did not meet the documentation requirements of IFRS to be considered hedges, they were accounted for as investment contracts and the effects recorded directly in income.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company had total assets related to its foreign exchange forward contracts of ThCh$394,652 and liabilities to ThCh$163,718 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are classified within the other current non-financial liabilities and are carried at fair value on the statement of financial position. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: | quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2: | Assumptions different to quoted prices included in level 1 and that are applicable to assets and liabilities, be it directly (as Price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from a Price) |
Level 3: | Assumptions for assets and liabilities that are not based on information observed directly in the market. |
NOTE 20 — DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)

Management considers it unlikely that non-provisioned contingencies will affect income and equity of the company, in the opinion of its legal advisors.
NOTE 21 — CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
On April 28, 2011 the Company was legally informed of an anti-competition lawsuit filed by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica (“Chilean National Economic Prosecutor”, the FNE) before the Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia (“Chilean Anti-Competition Court”, the TDLC) against Embotelladora Andina S.A. and Coca-Cola Embonor S.A. This lawsuit indicates that said companies would have violated the regulation of free competition by establishing a system of granting incentives in the traditional distribution channel since these points of sale do not advertise, exhibit and/or commercialize, in any manner, the so called “B-brands” or alternative soft drink beverages. This lawsuit ended on November 22, 2011, by approval of the Anti-competition Court of the terms of reconciliation proposed November 15, 2011 by the National Economic Prosecutor, Embotelladora Latinoamericana S.A., Embotelladora Castel Ltda., Industrial y Comercial Lampa S.A., Sociedad Comercial Antillanca Ltda., Coca-Cola Embonor S.A. and Embotelladora Andina S.A..
As a result of this agreement, the Company assumed certain commitments that included allowing 20% of space to be available to other brands in refrigerators provided by Embotelladora Andina S.A. at certain points of sale in the traditional channel where there are no other refrigerators, for a period of five years.
The reconciliation agreement did not impose fines nor constitute an acknowledgement of liability in the anti-competition offenses.

NOTE 22 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company’s businesses are exposed to diverse financial and market risks (including foreign exchange rate risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk). The Company’s global risk management program concentrates on the uncertainty of financial markets and tries to minimize potentially adverse effects on the financial returns of the Company. The Company uses derivatives to hedge certain risks. Below is a description of the primary policies established by the Company to manage financial risks.
Interest rate risk
As of December 31, 2012, the Company carried all of its debt at a fixed rate. Consequently, the risk of fluctuations in market interest rates as compared to the Company’s cash flows is low.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s most significant indebtedness comes for the issuance of Bonds that are denominated in Unidades de Fomento, which is indexed to the inflation in Chile). If the inflation in Chile had reached 4% (instead of 2.5%) for the period January 01 to December 31, 2012, the Company’s results would have decreased by ThCh$2,008,527.
Foreign currency risk
Sales revenues earned by the Company are linked to the local currencies of countries in which it does business, the detail of which is detailed as follows:
Chilean Peso |
| Brazilean Real |
| Argentine Peso |
| Paraguayan |
|
33 | % | 31 | % | 28 | % | 8 | % |
Since the Company’s income is not tied to the US dollar, the policy of managing that risk, meaning the gap between assets and liabilities denominated in that currency, has been to hold financial investments in dollar—denominated instruments for at least the equivalent of the liabilities denominated in that currency (if US dollar liabilities exist).
Additionally and depending on market conditions, the Company’s policy is also to make foreign currency hedge contracts to reduce the foreign exchange rate impact on cash outflows expressed in US dollars, corresponding mainly to payments made to raw material suppliers. In accordance with the percentage at of raw material purchases that are indexed to the US dollar, if the currencies were to devalue by 5% in the three countries where the Company operates and remaining everything constant, it would generate a cumulative decrease in income December 31, 2012 of ThCh$6,877,441. Currently, the Company holds derivative contracts to cover this effect in Chile and Argentina, which do not qualify for hedge accounting according to IAS 39
NOTE 22 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)
The exposure to foreign currency exchange conversion differences of subsidiaries abroad (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay), because of the difference between monetary assets and liabilities (i.e., those denominated in a local currency and consequently exposed to foreign currency translation risk from translation from their functional currency to the presentation currency of the consolidated statements) is only hedged when it is predicted that material adverse differences could occur and when the cost associated with such hedging is deemed reasonable by management. Currently the Company does not have these kinds of hedge agreements.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Brazilian real Argentine Peso and the Paraguayan Guarani have devalued 13.6%, 8.6% and 4.3% respectively regarding the presentation currency for the same period of 2011.
Currently in Argentina there are foreign exchange restrictions and there is a parallel currency market with an exchange rate which is higher than the official rate.- If the Argentine peso were to devalue an additional 25% with respect to the Chilean peso, the effects upon results for the concept of translation from foreign subsidiaries would amount to a higher loss of ThCh$5,102,723. On the other hand, at equity level, this would result that the remainder of the translation of asset and liability accounts would lead to a decrease in equity of ThCh$10,723,836.
If the Brazilian real devalued at least 3.6% with respect to the Chilean peso, the effect upon results for the concept of translation from foreign subsidiaries would amount to a higher gain of thCh$1,917,060. On the other hand, at equity level, this would result that the remainder of the translation of asset and liability accounts would lead to a smaller decrease in equity of ThCh$4,619,049.
If the Paraguayan Guarani appreciated 2.8% with respect to the Chilean peso, the effect upon results for the concept of translation from foreign subsidiaries would amount to a higher gain of thCh$317,385. On the other hand, at equity level, this would result that the remainder of the translation of asset and liability accounts would lead to an increase in equity of ThCh$16,648,642.
Commodities risk
The Company faces a risk of price fluctuations in the international markets for sugar, aluminum and PET resin, which are inputs required to produce beverages and, as a whole, account for 35% to 40% of operating costs. Procurement and anticipated purchase contracts are made frequently to minimize and/or stabilize this risk. When warranted by market conditions commodity hedges have also been used. The possible effects that exist in the present consolidated integral statements of a 5% eventual rise in prices of its main raw materials, would be a reduction in our accumulated results for the year ended December 31, 2012 of approximately ThCh$7,879,432. To minimize and/or stabilize said risk, anticipated purchase and supply agreements are frequently obtained when market conditions are favorable. Derivative instruments for commodities have also been used.
NOTE 22 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)
Liquidity risk
The products we sell are mainly paid for in cash and short term credit, therefore our main source of financing comes from the cash flow of our operations. This cash flow has historically been sufficient to cover the investments necessary for the normal course of our business, as well as the distribution of dividends approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. Should additional funding be required for future geographic expansion or other needs, the main sources of financing to consider are: (i) debt offerings in the Chilean and foreign capital markets (ii) borrowings from commercial banks, both internationally and in the local markets where we have operations; and (iii) public equity offerings.
