In 2010, total revenues in local currency for our Venezuelan operation grew 32%, as a result of an increase in the average price per unit case of approximately 41% that more than compensated for a 6% volume decline. During 2010, the Venezuelan Government authorities announced a devaluation of its currency, the Venezuelan bolivar. As a result of this devaluation, the exchange rate used to translate the financial statements from our Venezuelan subsidiary to our reporting currency, the Mexican peso, was 2.8737 pesos per bolivar in 2010, while in 2009, the financial statements from our Venezuelan subsidiary were translated using the exchange rate of 6.0738 pesos per bolivar. This devaluation resulted in a negative translation effect that reduced our Venezuelan operating results when translated into our reporting currency, the Mexican peso. As reported, our total revenues in Venezuela declined 37.4% to Ps. 14,033 million in 2010, and our average price per unit case decreased 33.2%, reaching Ps. 66.41 in 2010, as compared to the previous year.</font></div>
