## Introduction

In this annual report on Form 20-F, all references to “we”, “us” or “CCU” are to Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A., an open stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, and its consolidated subsidiaries. Chile is divided into regions, each of which is known by its roman number (e.g. “Region XI”). Our fiscal year ends on December 31st. Unless otherwise specified, all references to “U.S. dollars”, “dollars”, “USD”, or “US$” are to United States dollars, and references to “Chilean pesos”, “pesos” “Ch$” or “CLP” are to Chilean pesos. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These are the Company’s second annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.” Until and including our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, we prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles (“Chilean GAAP”), which differs in certain important respects from IFRS. Following the Company’s adoption of IFRS, as issued by the IASB, we are no longer required to reconcile our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS to US GAAP. See the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in pages F-1 through F-92 of this annual report. We use the metric system of weights and measures in calculating our operating and other data. The United States equivalent units of the most common metric units used by us are as shown below:

1 liter = 0.2642 gallons................................. | ...................................... 1 gallon = 3.7854 liters
1 liter = 0.008522 US beer barrels................. | ......................... 1 US beer barrel = 117.34 liters
1 liter = 0.1761 soft drinks unit cases (8 oz cans) | 1 soft drinks unit case (8 oz cans) = 5.6775 liters
1 liter = 0.1174 beer unit cases (12 oz cans). | ...... 1 beer unit case (12 oz cans) = 8.5163 liters
1 hectoliter = 100 liters................................ | .................................... 1 liter = 0.01 hectoliters
1 US beer barrel = 31 gallons....................... | ...................... 1 gallon = 0.0323 US beer barrels
1 hectare = 2.4710 acres............................. | .................................. 1 acre = 0.4047 hectares
1 mile = 1.6093 kilometers........................... | ................................ 1 kilometer = 0.6214 miles

This annual report contains various estimates made by us of market share data and related sales volume information. These estimates are based on statistics published or made available by A.C. Nielsen Chile S.A. (“Nielsen”), in the case of beer, soft drinks, water, wine and pisco sales in Chile and beer in Argentina; the Asociación de Cerveceros de Chile (“Acechi”), in the case of beer sales in Chile for years prior to 2010; Inversiones Marco Polo Ltda. (“BBS”) in the case of imports in Chile; the Cámara de la Industria Cervecera Argentina (Argentine Beer Industry Chamber, or “CICA”) in the case of beer sales in Argentina for years prior to 2010; the Asociación Nacional de Bebidas Refrescantes (National Association of Soft Drinks, or “ANBER”) in the case of soft drinks and water; competitors public information in the case of wine sales in Chile; and the Asociación de Viñas de Chile, A.G. (Wineries of Chile Association) in the case of Chilean wine exports. We believe that, due to the methodologies used, the statistics provided by these sources in some cases do not accurately reflect our market share or industry sales volumes. For example, the Nielsen sampling frame includes only the metropolitan areas of Chile and not the rural areas of the country, where we believe our beer and pisco market share is higher than in the metropolitan areas, due to our distribution system. Likewise, the sales of one of our Argentine competitors are not reflected in CICA’s statistics because this company is not a member of CICA. Similarly, data regarding the size of the Chilean soft drink and mineral water markets and market shares do not coincide with publicly available information of our sales volume and our competitors. As a consequence, we have revised the share estimates from the sources identified above for Chilean and Argentine beer sales, pisco, soft drink and mineral water sales to reflect what we believe is a more accurate measure of market shares, taking into account:

· reports published by the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the Chilean National Institute of Statistics, or the “INE”),

· our internal sales data,

· sales information filed publicly by our competitors, and

· import and export reports made available by Chilean and Argentine customs authorities.

However, our revised estimates have not been confirmed by independent sources. Certain amounts, including percentage amounts, which appear in this annual report have been rounded and may not sum exactly to the totals shown. The amounts and/or percentages corresponding to prior years may differ from the ones originally filed due to new and more accurate available information.

## Forward Looking Statements

This annual report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the “Securities Act,” and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the “Exchange Act.” These statements relate to analyses and other information, which are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. They also relate to our future prospects, development and business strategies.

These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate”, “believes”, “could”, “expects”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “predicts”, “projects”, “will” and similar terms and phrases. We caution you that actual results could differ materially from those expected by us, depending on the outcome of certain factors, including, without limitation:

· our success in implementing our investment and capital expenditure program;

· the nature and extent of future competition in our principal marketing areas;

· the nature and extent of a global financial disruption and its consequences;

· political and economic developments in Chile, Argentina and other countries where we currently conduct business or may conduct business in the future, including other Latin American countries; and

· other factors discussed under “Risk factors”, “Our business” and “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.”

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this annual report. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this annual report, including, without limitation, changes in our business strategy or planned capital expenditures, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Exchange Rates. Prior to 1989, Chilean law permitted the purchase and sale of foreign currency only in those cases explicitly authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. The Central Bank Act, which was enacted in 1989, liberalized the rules that govern the ability to buy and sell foreign currency. The Central Bank Act now empowers the Central Bank of Chile to determine that certain purchases and sales of foreign currency specified by law must be carried out in the formal exchange market. The formal exchange market is formed by banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank. All payments and distributions made to our holders of ADSs must be transacted in the formal exchange market.

In order to keep fluctuations in the average exchange rate within certain limits, the Central Bank of Chile has in the past intervened by buying or selling foreign currency on the formal exchange market. In September 1999, the Central Bank of Chile decided to limit its formal commitment to intervene and decided to exercise it only under extraordinary circumstances, which are to be informed in advance. The Central Bank of Chile also committed itself to provide periodic information about the levels of its international reserves.

On April 10, 2008, the Central Bank of Chile announced a program to buy US$8 billion in the local exchange market between April and December 2008. On March 24, 2009, the Central Bank of Chile published an agreement allowing the sale of dollars. On January 3, 2011, the Central Bank of Chile announced a program to buy US$12 billion starting January 5, 2011 with purchases of up to US$50 million per day.

The observed exchange rate is the average exchange rate at which commercial banks conduct authorized transactions on a given date, as certified by the Central Bank of Chile. The Central Bank of Chile generally carries out its transactions at the spot market rate. Authorized transactions by banks are now generally conducted at the spot market rate.

Purchases and sales of foreign exchange effected outside the formal exchange market are carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Informal (the informal exchange market). The informal exchange market reflects the supply and demand for foreign currency. There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the informal exchange market can fluctuate above or below the observed exchange rate. On March 31, 2011, the average exchange rate in the informal exchange market was CLP477.65 per U.S. dollar and the U.S. dollar observed exchange rate was CLP479.46 per U.S. dollar, which is explained by the current excess of foreign currency.

The following table sets forth the low, high, average and period-end observed exchange rates for U.S. dollars for each of the indicated periods starting in 2005 as reported by the Central Bank of Chile. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.

Risk Factors

RISKS RELATING TO CHILE

We are substantially dependent on economic conditions in Chile, which may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We are predominantly engaged in business in Chile and 71.8% of our sales revenues in 2010 were generated from our Chilean operations, 19.6% came from operations in Argentina and 8.6% from exports out of Chile. Thus, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent to a large extent on the overall level of economic activity in Chile. The Chilean economy has experienced an average annual growth of 3.3% between 2005 and 2010, with an estimated growth of 5.3% for 2010. In the past, slower economic growth in Chile has slowed down the rate of consumption of our products and adversely affected our profitability. Chile’s recent economic performance was affected in 2009 by the disruption in the global financial markets and in 2010 by an earthquake, and therefore the past growth rate should not be extrapolated into the future.

The relative liquidity and volatility of Chilean securities markets may increase the price volatility of our ADSs and adversely impact a holder’s ability to sell any shares of our common stock withdrawn from our ADR facility.

The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. For example, the Santiago Stock Exchange, which is Chile’s main stock exchange, had a market capitalization of approximately US$246.6 billion as of December 31, 2010, while The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) had a market capitalization of approximately US$13.4 trillion and the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) had a capitalization of approximately US$4.9 trillion as of the same date. In addition, the Chilean securities markets can be materially affected by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in Latin America.

Table of Contents

The lower liquidity and greater volatility of the Chilean markets relative to markets in the United States could increase the price volatility of the ADSs and may impair a holder’s ability to sell in the Chilean market shares of our common stock withdrawn from the ADR facility in the amount and at the price and time the holder wishes to do so. See “Item 9: The Offer and Listing.”

Chilean economic policies, currency fluctuations, exchange controls and currency devaluations may adversely affect the price of our ADSs.

The Chilean government’s economic policies and any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the dollar value of and the return on any investment in our ADSs. The Chilean peso has been subject to large nominal devaluations and appreciations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. For example, in the period from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, the daily average value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar increased by 8.8% in nominal terms, whereas the year end value increased by 7.7% based on the observed exchange rate for U.S. dollars on those dates. See “Exchange Rates.”

Chilean trading in the shares of our common stock underlying our ADSs is conducted in Chilean pesos. Cash distributions to be received by the depositary for the shares of our common stock underlying our ADSs will be denominated in Chilean pesos. The depositary will translate any Chilean pesos received by it to U.S. dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate with the purpose of making dividend and other distribution payments for the ADSs. If the value of the Chilean peso declines relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of our ADSs and any distributions to holders of our ADSs received from the depositary may be adversely affected. See “Item 8: Financial Information – Dividend Policy and Dividends.”

We are subject to different corporate disclosure requirements and accounting standards than U.S. companies.

Although the securities laws of Chile which govern open stock corporations and publicly listed companies such as us, have as a main objective promoting disclosure of all material corporate information to the public, Chilean disclosure requirements differ from those in the United States in certain important respects. In addition, although Chilean law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, the Chilean securities market is not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities market. We have been subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act since our initial public offering of ADSs in September 1992.

RISKS RELATING TO ARGENTINA

We have significant operations in Argentina and economic conditions there have adversely affected our results of operations.

In addition to our operations in Chile, we maintain substantial assets in Argentina and derive significant revenue from our operations in Argentina. In 2010, we derived CLP164,672 million, or 19.6%, of our revenues from our Argentinean operations, and, as of December 31, 2010, CLP142,841 million, or 12.4%, of our assets were located in Argentina. From 1999 through 2002, Argentina suffered a prolonged recession, which culminated in an economic crisis, with negative growth rates of -3.4% in 1999, -0.8% in 2000, -4.4% in 2001 and -10.9% in 2002. Although the economic situation in Argentina has improved during the last eight years – GDP grew on average by 7.3% annually– in the future it could materially and adversely affect our Argentine operations. See “Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Trend Information.”

The Argentine peso is subject to volatility which could adversely affect our results.

A devaluation of the Argentine peso adversely affects our operating results, as our revenues from our Argentine operations are impacted by the devaluation of the Argentine peso. In spite of the appreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar in recent years, we cannot predict whether the Argentine economy will continue to recover or will face a recession, and if there is a recession to what effect it will affect our operations in Argentina. In 2009, the Company reported for the first time the financial statements under IFRS and the functional currency is the Argentine peso for our Argentine subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

Fixed assets and their depreciation are considered in said currency and translated into Chilean pesos for consolidation purposes.

Argentina’s legal regime and economy are susceptible to changes that could adversely affect our Argentinean operations.

The measures taken by the Argentine government to address the Argentine economic crisis, which began in 1998, have severely affected the Argentine financial system’s stability and have had a materially negative impact on its reputation. If Argentina were to experience a new fiscal and economic crisis, the Argentine government could implement economic and political reforms, which could adversely impact our business. The unpredictability, timing and scope of possible measures enacted by the Argentine government, including expropriations, higher taxes and exchange control measures, could adversely affect our Argentinean operations and our future results of operations.

Since January 2006, the Argentine government has adopted different methods to directly and indirectly regulate the prices of various consumer goods, including bottled beer, in an effort to slow inflation.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

Fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials may adversely impact our profitability if we are unable to pass those costs along to our customers.

We purchase malt, rice and hops for beer, sugar for soft drinks, grapes for wine and packaging material from local producers or in the international market. The prices of those commodities have experienced significant fluctuations over time and are determined by the global supply and demand for those commodities as well as other factors, such as fluctuations in exchange rates, over which we have no control.

Although we historically have been able to increase our selling prices in response to increases in raw material costs and thus have not sought to hedge our exposure to increases in raw material prices, we cannot assure you that our ability to recover increases in the cost of raw materials will continue in the future. If we are unable to increase our selling prices in response to increases in raw material costs, any future increases may reduce our margins, if we could not improve efficiencies to offset them.

We are controlled by one majority shareholder, whose interests may differ from those of holders of our ADSs and this shareholder may take actions which adversely affect the value of a holder’s ADSs or common stock.

As of April 30, 2011, Inversiones y Rentas S.A. (“IRSA”) a Chilean closed corporation, owned directly and indirectly, 66.1% of our shares of common stock. Accordingly, IRSA has the power to control the election of most members of our board of directors and its interests may differ from those of the holders of our ADSs. IRSA also has a significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and going-private transactions. In addition, actions by IRSA with respect to the disposition of the shares of common stock that it owns, or the perception that such actions may occur, may adversely affect the trading prices of our ADSs or common stock.

Competition in the Chilean beer market may erode our market share and lower our profitability.

In 2010, our market share of the Chilean beer market by volume was approximately 83%. Our largest competitor in the Chilean beer market by volume is Cervecería Chile S.A. (“Cervecería Chile”), a subsidiary of Quilmes Industrial S.A. (“Quilmes”), the largest Argentine brewer and, a subsidiary of Companhia de Bebidas das Américas (“AmBev”) since January 2007. Ambev and Interbrew merged in 2004, creating Inbev N.V./S.A. which merged with Anheuser Busch Cos. Inc. on November 18, 2008, forming Anheuser-Busch InBev (“AB Inbev”). We estimate that Cervecería Chile had a market share by volume in Chile of approximately 13% in 2010. Often, Cervecería Chile has engaged in aggressive price discounting. If Cervecería Chile were to engage in aggressive price discounting in the future, we cannot assure you, given the current environment, that any such discounting or other competitive activities will not have a material adverse impact on our profitability.

Additionally, if business conditions in the beer market continue to be relatively favorable in Chile, other enterprises may attempt to enter the Chilean beer market either by producing beer locally or through imports. We expect that additional competitors could erode our market share or lead to price discounting.

Our beer brands in Chile may face increased competition from other alcoholic beverages such as wine and spirits, as well as from non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks.

Beer consumption in Chile may be influenced by changes in domestic wine, spirits and/or other non-alcoholic beverages’ relative prices. Increases in domestic wine prices have tended to lead to increases in beer consumption, while reductions in wine prices have tended to reduce or slow the growth of beer consumption. As a result of our lower market share in the Chilean wine, spirits and soft drinks markets as compared to our market share in the Chilean beer market, we expect that our profitability would be adversely affected if beverage consumers were to shift their consumption from beer to either wine, spirits or soft drinks.

Quilmes dominates the beer market in Argentina and we may not be able to maintain our current market share.

In Argentina, we face competition from Quilmes and from Cervecería Argentina S.A. Isenbeck (“CASA Isenbeck”), a former subsidiary of Warsteiner Brauerei Hans Cramer GmbH & Co. (“Warsteiner”), which was acquired by SABMiller plc on November 24, 2010. We estimate that in 2010 Quilmes had a market share of 74% and CASA Isenbeck had a market share of 3%. We estimate that our market share of the Argentine beer market was 23% in 2010. As a result of its dominant position in Argentina, Quilmes’ large size enables it to benefit from economies of scale in the production and distribution of beer throughout Argentina. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to grow or maintain our current market share of the Argentine beer market.

Consolidation in the beer industry may impact our market share.

In January 2007, AmBev assumed control of Quilmes. Additionally, on March 2004, AmBev and Interbrew announced an agreement to merge, creating the world’s largest brewer under the name InBev. Inbev and Anheuser-Busch merged in November 2008, creating AB Inbev, the world’s global beer leader. In Chile, Quilmes sells its beer through Cervecería Chile, which had a market share of approximately 13% in 2010, and in Argentina which had a market share of approximately 74% in 2010. As a consequence of the referred merger, the brand Budweiser whose production and distribution license contract was granted to Compañía Cervecerías Unidas Argentina S.A. (“CCU Argentina”) until 2025, belongs to our competitor. Cervecera CCU Chile Ltda. (“CCU Chile”) has a distribution contract until 2015 to distribute Budweiser in Chile. We cannot assure you that the contracts will be renewed.

In 2005, SABMiller plc merged with Grupo Empresarial Bavaria, a Colombian brewer with operations in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Panama, forming the then second largest brewer in the world. In November 2010 SABMiller Plc acquired CASA Isenbeck, the third largest brewer in Argentina.

Consolidation in the beer industry has resulted in larger and more competitive participants, which could change the current market conditions under which we operate.

Restrictions in the gas supply from Argentina have increased our energy costs and higher oil prices have increased our distribution expenses.

Since 2005, the Argentine government has restricted gas exports to Chile due to supply problems in that country. This has increased the cost of operating our beer production plants in Chile and Argentina, as well as our soft drinks plants in Chile. Additionally, these restrictions have increased electrical power costs related to these same gas restrictions. We do not need additional investments because our boilers can work with gas or with alternative fuels, such as diesel oil or butane gas. The Chilean government is presently implementing a strategy to diversify energy supply. The construction in Quintero of the first plant to process imported GNL (liquefied natural gas), which started its operation in August 2009, brought relief to the energy issue.

Oil price increases may reduce our margins if we are unable to improve efficiencies or increase our prices to offset them.

##### We depend upon the renewal of certain license agreements to maintain our current operations.

Most of our license agreements include certain conditions that must be met during their term, as well as provisions for their renewal at expiry date. We cannot assure you that such conditions will be fulfilled, and therefore that the agreements will be renewed, expire at end of term or undergo early termination. Termination of, or failure to renew our existing license agreements could have an adverse impact on our operations.

Increase in negotiation power of some clients.

In recent years, the Chilean supermarket industry has gone through a consolidation process, increasing the importance and purchasing power of a few supermarket chains. The importance of supermarkets is disclosed in each one of our business segments.

Dependence on a single supplier for some important raw materials.

In the case of glass bottles, both in Chile and Argentina, we purchase most of our bottles from a single local supplier. In case of some problem with one of these suppliers we will need to use suppliers outside each country.

Water supply is essential to the development of our businesses.

Water is an essential component for beer, soft drinks and mineral water. While we have adopted policies for the responsible and sustainable use of water, a failure in our water supply could negatively affect our sales and profitability.

The supply, production and logistics chain is key to the timely supply of our products to consumer centers.

An interruption or a significant failure in this chain may negatively affect the Company’s results, if the failure is not quickly resolved. An interruption could be caused by various factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Possible restrictions on the sale and promotion of alcoholic beverages and other food products in Chile.

Senators and congressmen from different political parties have submitted to Congress proposed bills to restrict the consumption, sale and promotion of alcoholic beverages. The main modifications proposed in these bills are the incorporation of warnings on product labels of the possible dangers of excessive alcohol consumption on human health, similar to those required in the United States, restrictions on television advertising and a prohibition of alcoholic beverages at sports, cultural or related events. If the proposed bills are passed, or other regulations restricting the sale of non-alcoholic beverages or sweet snacks are enacted, this could affect consumption of our products and, as a consequence, negatively impact our further business development.

Our businesses are taxed with different duties, particularly with excise taxes on the consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

An increase in the rate of these taxes could negatively affect our sales and profitability.

Chilean peso fluctuations may affect our profitability.

Because we purchase some of our supplies at prices set in U.S. dollars, and export wine in U.S. dollars, euros and pounds, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks that may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Therefore, any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso against said currencies would affect the revenues of our wine export business, as well as the cost of several of our raw materials, especially in the beer and soft drink businesses where raw materials are purchased in U.S. dollars. The effect of the exchange rate variation on export revenues would have an opposite effect on the cost of raw materials in Chilean peso terms.

Increases in commodity prices may affect our profitability.

A significant part of our raw materials are commodities whose prices are subject to volatility caused by market fluctuations. These price fluctuations may not keep pace with the market conditions in which we operate, thus we may have limited capacity to raise prices to offset increases in costs. If we are unable to increase prices to offset costs increases, our profitability may be adversely affected.

Catastrophic events in the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Natural disasters, terrorism, pandemic, strikes or other catastrophic events could impair our ability to manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to manage such events effectively if they occur, could adversely affect our sales volume, cost of raw materials, earnings and financial results.

If we are unable to maintain the image and quality of our products our financial results may suffer.

The image and quality of our products is essential for the success and growth of the Company. Problems with product quality could tarnish the reputation of our products and may adversely affect the Company’s revenues.

If we are unable to finance our operations.

A global liquidity crisis may eventually limit our ability to obtain the cash needed to fulfill our commitments. Sales could also be affected by a global disruption if consumption decreases sharply, placing stress in the Company’s cash position.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR ADSs

The price of our ADSs and the U.S. dollar value of any dividends will be affected by fluctuations in exchange conditions.

Our ADSs trade in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between Chilean and Argentine currencies and the U.S. dollar are likely to affect the market price of our ADSs. For example, since our financial statements are reported in Chilean pesos, a decline in the value of the Chilean peso against the dollar would reduce our earnings as reported in U.S. dollars. Any dividend we may pay in the future would be denominated in Chilean pesos. A decline in the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar would reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent of any such dividend. Additionally, in the event of a dividend or other distribution, if exchange rates fluctuate during any period of time when the ADS depositary cannot convert a foreign currency into dollars, a holder of our ADSs may lose some of the value of the distribution. Also, since dividends in Chile are subject to withholding taxes, which we retain until the following year when the exact amount to be paid is determined, if part of the retained amount is refunded to the shareholders, the amount received by holders of our ADSs would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the two dates.

A holder of ADSs may be subject to certain risks due to the fact that holders of our ADSs do not hold shares of our common stock directly.

In order to vote at shareholders’ meetings, if a holder is not registered on the books of the ADS depositary, the holder of our ADSs is required to transfer its ADSs for a certain number of days before a shareholders’ meeting into a blocked account established for that purpose by the ADS depositary. Any ADS transferred to this blocked account will not be available for transfer during that time. If a holder of our ADSs is registered on the books of the ADS depositary, it must give instructions to the ADS depositary not to transfer its ADSs during this period before the shareholders’ meeting. A holder of our ADSs must therefore receive voting materials from the ADS depositary sufficiently in advance in order to make these transfers or give these instructions. There can be no guarantee that a holder of our ADSs will receive voting materials in time to instruct the ADS depositary how to vote. It is possible that a holder of our ADSs will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to vote at all. Additionally, a holder of our ADSs may not receive copies of all reports from us or the ADS depositary. A holder of our ADSs may have to go to the ADS depositary’s offices to inspect any reports issued.

Controls on foreign investment and repatriation of investments in Chile may adversely impact a holder of our ADSs ability to obtain and dispose of the shares of our common stock underlying its ADRs.

Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents are generally subject to exchange control regulations that restrict the repatriation of investments and earnings from Chile. Our ADSs are subject to an ADR foreign investment contract among us, the depositary and the Central Bank of Chile which is intended to grant holders of our ADSs and the depositary access to Chile’s formal exchange market. See “Exchange Rates.” Pursuant to current Chilean law, our ADR foreign investment contract may not be amended unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile. However, we cannot assure you that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to holders of our ADSs, the disposition of underlying shares of our common stock or the repatriation of the proceeds from the disposition of the underlying common stock could not be imposed in the future, nor can we assess the duration or impact of the restrictions if imposed. If for any reason, including changes to our ADR foreign investment contract or Chilean law, the depositary is unable to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars, investors would receive dividends or other distributions in Chilean pesos. Transferees of shares of our common stock withdrawn from the ADR facility will not be entitled to access the formal exchange market unless the withdrawn shares are redeposited with the depositary. See “Item 10: Additional Information – Exchange Controls in Chile.”

A holder of our ADSs’ right to force us to purchase its underlying shares of our common stock pursuant to Chilean corporate law upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited.

In accordance with Chilean laws and regulations, any shareholder that votes against certain corporate actions or does not attend the meeting at which certain corporate actions are approved and communicates to the corporation its dissent in writing within the term established by law, may exercise a withdrawal right, tender its shares to the company and receive cash compensation for its shares, provided that the shareholder exercises its rights within the prescribed time periods. See “Item 10: Additional Information – Memorandum and Articles of Association – Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares.” In our case, the actions triggering a right of withdrawal include the approval of:

· our transformation into a different type of legal entity;

· our merger with and/or into another company;

· the transfer of 50% or more of our corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage; the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status as controller;

· the granting of real or personal guarantees to secure third party obligations exceeding 50% of the corporate assets except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice);

· the creation of preferences for a series of shares or the increase, extension or reduction in the already existing ones. In this case, only dissenting shareholders of the affected series shall have the right to withdraw;

· curing certain formal defects in our charter which otherwise would render it null and void or any modification of our by-laws that grant this right; and

· other cases provided for by statute or in our bylaws, if any.

In addition, shareholders may withdraw if a person becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation as a consequence of a share acquisition and such person does not make a tender offer for the remaining shares within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.

Minority shareholders are also granted the right to withdraw when the controller acquires more than 95% of the shares of an open stock corporation.

Our bylaws do not provide for additional circumstances under which shareholders may withdraw.

Because of the absence of legal precedent as to whether a shareholder that has voted both for and against a proposal, such as the depositary of our ADSs, may exercise withdrawal rights with respect to those shares voted against the proposal, there is doubt as to whether a holder of ADSs will be able to exercise withdrawal rights either directly or through the depositary for the shares of our common stock represented by its ADSs. Accordingly, for a holder of our ADSs to exercise its appraisal rights, it may be required to surrender its ADRs, withdraw the shares of our common stock represented by its ADSs, and vote the shares against the proposal.

Table of Contents

Preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our common stock may be unavailable to holders of our ADSs in certain circumstances and, as a result, their ownership interest in us may be diluted.

The Chilean Corporations Act requires us, whenever we issue new shares for cash, to grant preemptive rights to all holders of shares of our common stock, including shares of our common stock represented by ADSs, giving those holders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. We may not be able to offer shares to holders of our ADSs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.

We intend to evaluate at the time of any future offerings of shares of our common stock the costs and potential liabilities associated with any registration statement as well as the indirect benefits to us of enabling U.S. owners of our ADSs 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 a registration statement. We cannot assure you that any registration statement would be filed.

To the extent a holder of our ADSs is unable to exercise its preemptive rights because a registration statement has not been filed, the depositary will attempt to sell the holder’s preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds of the sale, net of the depositary’s fees and expenses, to the holder, provided that a secondary market for those rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of the sale. A secondary market for the sale of preemptive rights can be expected to develop if the subscription price of the shares of our common stock upon exercise of the rights is below the prevailing market price of the shares of our common stock. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that a secondary market in preemptive rights will develop in connection with any future issuance of shares of our common stock or that if a market develops, a premium can be recognized on their sale. Amounts received in exchange for the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to shares of our common stock will be taxable in Chile and the United States. See “Item 10: Additional Information – Taxation – Chilean Tax Considerations – Capital Gains” and “– United States Tax Considerations – Capital Gains.” If the rights cannot be sold, they will expire and a holder of our ADSs will not realize any value from the grant of the preemptive rights. In either case, equity interest in us will be diluted proportionately.

### ITEM 4: Information on the Company

History and Development of the Company

Our current legal and commercial name is Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A.. We were incorporated in the Republic of Chile in 1902 as an open stock corporation, following the merger of two existing breweries, one of which had its origins back in 1850, when Mr. Joaquín Plagemann founded one of the first breweries in Chile in the port of Valparaíso. By 1916, we owned and operated the largest brewing facilities in Chile. Our operations have also included the production and marketing of soft drinks since the beginning of the last century, the bottling and selling of mineral water products since 1960, the production and marketing of wine since 1994, the production and marketing of beer in Argentina since 1995, the production and marketing of pisco since 2003, the production and marketing of sweet snacks products since 2004 and the production and marketing of rum since 2007.

We are subject to a full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile and Argentina. These regulations include labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection and environmental laws, securities laws, and anti-trust laws. In addition, regulations exist to ensure healthy and safe conditions in facilities for the production and distribution of beverages and sweet snacks products.

Our principal executive offices are located at Vitacura 2670, Santiago, Chile. Our telephone number in Santiago is (56-2) 427-3000, the fax number is (56-2) 427-3333 and the website is www.ccu-sa.cl or www.ccu.cl. Our authorized representative in the United States is Puglisi & Associates, located at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19715, USA, telephone number (302) 738-6680 and fax number (302) 738-7210.

In 1986, IRSA, our current main shareholder, acquired its controlling interest in us through purchases of common stock at an auction conducted by a receiver who had assumed control of us following the economic crisis in Chile in the early 80’s, which resulted in our inability to meet our obligations to our creditors. IRSA, at that time, was a joint venture between Quiñenco S.A. (“Quiñenco”) and the Schörghuber Group from Germany through its wholly owed subsidiary Finance Holding International B.V. (“FHI”) of the Netherlands.

To our knowledge, none of our common stock is currently owned by governmental entities. Our common stock is listed and traded on the principal Chilean stock exchanges. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

In September 1992, we issued 4,520,582 ADSs, each representing five shares of our common stock, in an international American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) offering. The underlying ADSs were listed and traded on the NASDAQ, until March 25, 1999. Since that date, the ADSs have been listed and traded on the NYSE.

In 1994, we diversified our operations both in the domestic and international markets. In that year, we purchased a 48.4% interest in the Chilean wine producer Viña San Pedro S.A. (“VSP”, today, “VSPT”). Since December 31, 2008, that interest amounts to 50.0%. In November 1994, we and Buenos Aires Embotelladora S.A. (“BAESA”), (the PepsiCo bottler in Chile at that time) merged to create Embotelladoras Chilenas Unidas S.A. (“ECUSA”), for the production, bottling, distribution and marketing of soft drinks and mineral water products in Chile. In November 1999, we purchased BAESA’s interest in ECUSA and thereafter have controlled 100% of that company.

Through CCU Argentina, we began our expansion into Argentina by acquiring an interest in two Argentine breweries: 62.7% of the outstanding shares of Compañía Industrial Cervecera S.A. (“CICSA”), were acquired during January and February 1995 and 98.8% of the outstanding shares of Cervecería Santa Fe S.A. (“CSF”), were acquired in September 1995. In 1997, CCU Argentina increased its interest in CICSA to 97.2% and in CSF to 99.9% through the purchase of minority interests. In January 1998, we decided to merge these two breweries into one company operating under the name of CICSA. Following the merger, CCU Argentina’s interest in CICSA was 99.2%. In April 1998, CCU Argentina completed the purchase of the brands and assets of Cervecería Córdoba for US$8 million. After subsequent capital increases, the last one in June 2008, our interest in CCU Argentina reached 95.9%, with Anheuser-Busch Incorporated’s (“Anheuser-Busch”) interest at 4.1%.

In addition to our acquisitions in Argentina, we signed a license agreement with Anheuser-Busch in 1995 granting us the exclusive right to produce, market, sell and distribute the Budweiser beer brand in Argentina. In 2008 the license agreement was extended until December 31, 2025.

After a capital increase approved by our shareholders in October 1996, we raised approximately US$196 million between December 1996 and April 1999. Part of this capital expansion was accomplished between December 1996 and January 1997 through our second ADR offering in the international markets.

During 2000, VSPT, through its subsidiary Finca La Celia S.A. (“FLC”), acquired the winery Finca La Celia in Mendoza, Argentina, initiating its international expansion, allowing VSPT to include fine quality Argentine wines into its export product portfolio.

To increase our presence in the premium beer segment, we acquired in November 2000 a 50% stake in Cervecería Austral S.A., located in the city of Punta Arenas, with an annual production capacity of 6.1 million liters. Further, in May 2002, we acquired a 50% stake in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., located in the city of Valdivia.

In February 2003, we began the sale of a new product for our beverage portfolio, pisco, under the brand Ruta Norte. Pisco is a grape spirit very popular in Chile that is produced in the northern part of the country and the southern part of Peru. Our pisco, at that time, was only produced in the Elqui Valley in the IV Region of Chile and it was sold throughout the country by our beer division sales force. In March 2005, we entered into an association with the second largest pisco producer at that time, Cooperativa Agrícola Control Pisquero de Elqui y Limarí Ltda. (“Control”). This new joint venture was named Compañía Pisquera de Chile S.A. (“CPCh”), to which the companies contributed principally with assets, commercial brands and – in the case of Control – also some financial liabilities. Currently we own 80% of CPCh and Control owns the remaining 20%.

On April 17, 2003, the Schörghuber Group, at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, gave Quiñenco, also at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, formal notice of its intent to sell 100% of its interest in FHI to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. As a result of the sale, Quiñenco and Heineken Americas B.V., the latter through FHI, became the only two shareholders of IRSA, the owner of 61.6% of our equity at that time, each with a 50% interest in IRSA. Heineken International B.V. and FHI subsequently formed Heineken Chile Ltda., to hold the latter’s 50% interest in IRSA. Therefore, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda. are the only two current shareholders of IRSA, with a 50% equity each. On December 30, 2003, FHI merged into Heineken Americas B.V., which together with Heineken International B.V. remained as the only shareholders of Heineken Chile Ltda. At present IRSA owns, directly and indirectly, 66.11% of our equity.

In August 2003, VSPT formed Viña Tabalí S.A., a joint venture in equal parts with Sociedad Agrícola y Ganadera Río Negro Ltda., for the production of premium wines. This winery is located in the Limarí Valley, Chile’s northernmost winemaking region, which is noted for the production of outstanding wines. In January 2007, Viña Tabalí S.A. bought the assets of Viña Leyda, located in the Leyda Valley, a new winemaking region south of Casablanca Valley and close to the Pacific Ocean. Viña Leyda produces excellent wines that have won awards in different international contests. After this acquisition, Viña Tabalí S.A. changed its name to Viña Valles de Chile S.A.

In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between our subsidiary ECUSA and Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A, a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Calaf S.A. (which has been renamed Foods Compañía de Alimentos S.A., or “Foods”), a corporation that acquired the trademarks, assets and know-how, among other things, of Calaf S.A.I.C. and Francisca Calaf S.A., traditional Chilean candy makers, renowned for more than a century.

In December 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Watt’s S.A. (“Watt’s”), a local fruit related company, under which we participate in equal parts in Promarca S.A. (“Promarca”). This new company owns the brands “Watt’s”, “Ice Frut de Watt’s”, “Yogu Yogu” and “Shake a Shake” in Chile. Promarca granted its subsidiaries, for an indefinite period, the exclusive licenses for the production and sale of the different product categories. Therefore, we now participate in new product categories such as 100% fruit juices and fruit, soy and dairy based beverages.

In May 2007, CPCh entered the rum market with our proprietary brand Sierra Morena and later, in 2008, added new rum brand extensions and introduced various pisco based cocktails. Its most successful one, Campanario Mango Sour, is now sold in some states in the U.S. market through Wal-mart stores under the name of “Carillon Mango.”

In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with Nestlé Chile S.A. and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A., the latter of which acquired a 20% interest in our subsidiary Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. (“Aguas CCU”), the company through which we develop our bottled water business in Chile. As part of this new association, Aguas CCU introduced in 2008 the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile. Nestlé had a call option to increase its ownership in Aguas CCU by an additional 29.9%, which expired on June 5, 2009. On June 4, 2009 ECUSA received the notification from Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. exercising its irrevocable option to buy 29.9% of Aguas CCU equity, within the scope of the association contract. The completion of the deal represented a profit before taxes for ECUSA of CLP24,439 million. On September 30, 2009 in Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings, Aguas CCU- and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. (“Waters Chile”) approved the merger of Waters Chile and Aguas CCU. The present shareholders of Aguas CCU are ECUSA (50.10%), Nestlé Chile S.A. (49.401%) and Comercializadora de Productos Nestlé S.A. (0.499%).

In April 2008, we bought the Argentine brewer ICSA after receiving the approval of the Argentine antitrust authorities. ICSA owns, among other assets, the Bieckert, Palermo and Imperial beer brands, which together represented approximately 5.8% of the Argentine beer market, and a brewery in Luján, Buenos Aires, with a nominal production capacity of 270 million liters per year.

In August 2008, Foods bought 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A. a company specializing in muffins and other high quality home-made products. The Nutrabien brand complements our sweet snacks portfolio which includes the Calaf and Natur brands, the latter acquired in 2007. Moreover, with this acquisition we expanded the sweet snacks business from the traditional candy category to the nutritional cereal bars, cookies and muffins categories.

In November 2008, CCU and its affiliate VSP entered into a Merger Agreement with Compañía Chilena de Fósforos and its subsidiaries Terciados y Elaboración de Maderas S.A. and Viña Tarapacá S.A. (“VT”), in order to merge VT into VSP. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and prior to its execution, CCU had to acquire 25% of VT’s equity. Once all the legal requirements were fulfilled, the merger by absorption of VT by VSP was completed on December 9, 2008, with an effective date for accounting purposes of October 1, 2008. The affiliate was renamed Viña San pedro Tarapacá S.A. (VSPT).

I n December 2010, our subsidiary Invex CCU Ltda. acquired a 4.04% equity interest in CCU Argentina from Anheuser-Busch Investment S.L. As a result, CCU became the sole equity holder of CCU Argentina. This transaction had no effect on the Budweiser brand production and distribution contract which expires in 2025 (in 2015 for the distribution of the brand in Chile).

In December 2010, CCU and CICSA entered into the cider business by acquiring, directly and indirectly, controlling interests in Sáenz Briones S.A. and Sidra La Victoria S.A., two Argentinian companies engaged in the cider business.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The capital expenditures figures for 2008, 2009 and 2010 shown below correspond to the application of IFRS and reconcile to the Cash Flow as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our capital expenditures for 2008, 2009 and 2010 were CLP60,685 million, CLP57,892 million and CLP64,396 million, respectively, totaling CLP182,973 million, of which CLP73,056 million were invested in our beer operations in Chile, CLP26,225 million in our Argentine beer operations, CLP47,864 million in our non-alcoholic beverages operations, CLP11,705 million in our wine operations, CLP3,400 million in our spirits operations and CLP 20,723 in other investments, mostly in warehouses and molds, during the years mentioned above.

In recent years, our capital expenditures have been made primarily for the expansion of our production and bottling capacities, additional returnable bottles and crates, marketing assets (mainly coolers), and improvement in management information systems, among others.

In Chile, during 2008, capital expenditures were incurred in our beer division mainly on capacity expansion, new packaging, improvements and change of equipment, marketing assets, and implementation of a new filtration plant and an alcohol free beer plant. In Argentina, our capital expenditures were primarily in marketing assets, new packaging and the enhancement of the Luján new plant mainly for the production of Heineken beer. Capital expenditures were made in our soft drink division, mainly for new packages, new packaging lines for returnable glass and PET purified water, marketing assets and equipment improvement. As for our wine operations, we invested primarily in the procurement of equipment, tanks, remodeling of the Molina plant, new irrigation technology and land. In our spirits business, the main expenditures were the completion of construction, procurement of equipment and start up of the new plant in Ovalle, as well as the continued improvement of the effluent treatment process. Other significant capital expenditures in 2008 relate to the acquisition of land for the construction of distribution centers and warehouses and the upgrade of information systems.

During 2009, capital expenditures in our Chile beer division were focused principally on capacity expansion, new packaging and cranes, improvements and new equipment acquisitions and marketing assets. In Argentina, our capital expenditures were primarily for marketing assets, new packaging and new equipment. Capital expenditures were incurred in our non-alcoholic beverage division mainly for new packaging, marketing assets and new equipment mostly dedicated to the water business. Regarding our wine operations, the merger with Viña Tarapacá in late 2008 required several equipment optimizations; capacity improvement, new technology on irrigation, new land and new barrels were the main expenses.

In our spirit business, the completion of the facility in Ovalle, as well as environmental improvements and the equipment for the new category were the most relevant investments.

In 2010, a third of our capital expenditures were focused on our Chile beer division’s machinery and equipment in order to further increase its production capacity and to enhance the filtering and bottling proceses. In total, including packaging and marketing investments, approximately 45% of capital expenditures were focused on our Chile beer division. Significant amounts of our capital expenditures were also incurred in the non-alcoholic beverage division, representing approximately 24% of the total capital expenditures, mainly focused on equipment, packaging and marketing assets. These investments were required to address the [sales] volume increase experienced in 2010. For the same reason, important investments were made in our Argentina beer division’s bottling and packaging, marketing assets and equipment.

Our principal capital expenditures for the period 2008-2010 are displayed in the following table. See “Capital Expenditures Commitments” in Item 5 for the period 2011-2014.

Business Overview

Summary

We are mainly a diversified beverage company operating principally in Chile and Argentina. We are the largest brewing group in Chile, the second largest brewing group in Argentina, the third largest soft drinks producer in Chile, after the two largest Coca-Cola bottlers in Chile, the largest mineral water and bottled nectar producers in Chile, the third largest wine producer in Chile, the second largest wine exporter, the second largest pisco producer in Chile and also we participate in the purified water, rum and sweet snacks industries in Chile. Our beer and soft drink products include a wide range of proprietary, licensed and imported brands.

In 2010, we had consolidated net sales of CLP838,258 million, of which 34.4% was accounted for by our beer sales in Chile, 18.7% by our beer sales in Argentina, 26.7% by our non-alcoholic beverages sales in Chile, 15.8% by wine sales, 5.2% by spirits sales and the remainder by sales of other products and consolidation eliminations.

Beer. We estimate that our share of the Chilean beer market by volume was approximately 86% in 2008, 85% in 2009 and 83% in 2010. Our line of beers in Chile includes a full range of super-premium, premium, medium-priced and popular-priced brands of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer, which are primarily marketed under nine different proprietary brands and four licensed. Our flagship brand, Cristal, is Chile’s best selling beer, accounting for an estimated 50,5% of our 2010 beer sales by volume in Chile. We are the only brewery in Chile with a nationwide production and distribution network. In addition, we are the exclusive producer and distributor in Chile of Heineken beer, the exclusive distributor in Chile of imported Budweiser beer and the exclusive local producer and importer of Paulaner beer. We also distribute and produce, under license, Austral beer.

We entered the Argentine beer market in 1995 by acquiring two breweries and their brands, CICSA and CSF. Additionally, in 1998, we bought the brands and assets of Cervecería Córdoba. Under a joint venture agreement entered into with Anheuser-Busch in 1995, we began importing, selling and distributing Budweiser beer in Argentina in March 1996. We began production and distribution of locally produced Budweiser beer in Argentina in December 1996. In April 2008, we bought ICSA and as a result added to our portfolio the brands Palermo, Bieckert and Imperial. In addition, we are the exclusive producer and distributor in Argentina of Heineken beer and the exclusive distributor in Argentina of imported Corona, Kunstmann, Negra Modelo, Birra Moretti, Paulaner and Guinness beer brands. We estimate that our market share by volume of the Argentine beer market was approximately 21% in 2008, 22% in 2009, and 23% in 2010.

Non-alcoholic beverages. We produce and sell carbonated soft drink, mineral water, purified water, nectar, sports and energy drinks and tea products in Chile, including our proprietary brands and brands produced under license from PepsiCo, Schweppes Holdings Ltd., Promarca and Nestlé Chile S.A. The most relevant beverages in this segment are soft drinks: carbonated beverages, –cola and non-cola– and non carbonated beverages, mostly fruit juices in different degrees of concentration. The various types of water products are also important: mineral water – both, sparkling and still–, and purified water. We estimate that our Chilean soft drinks market share by volume, not including nectars, was approximately 19% in 2008, 20% in 2009 and 21% in 2010 and that our mineral water market share by volume was 61% in 2008, 62% in 2009 and 62% in 2010.

Wine. We entered the Chilean wine industry in 1994 with the acquisition of a 48.4% interest in VSP (today VSPT), Chile’s third largest player in the domestic market and second largest wine exporter. After making subsequent investments and pursuant to the merger of VSP and VT, resulting in VSPT, our affiliate CCU Inversiones S.A. currently has a 50.01% interest in VSPT. VSPT is formed by 7 different wineries in Chile, 3 in Argentina and Viña Valles de Chile, a non-consolidating subsidiary. The wine group produces and markets a full range of wine products for both the domestic and export markets. We believe that in 2010, VSPT’s sales by volume amounted to approximately 24% of total measured domestic industry sales by volume and 12% of Chile’s total wine export sales by volume, excluding bulk wine, according to our estimates and those of the Wineries of Chile Association. VSPT’s main vineyards are located in all main viticulture Chilean valleys, including Maipo, Curicó, Casablanca, Leyda, Colchagua, Elqui, Cachapoal and Maule valleys. VSPT’s domestic wine products are distributed through our nationwide distribution system with dedicated sales forces in the major cities and its export products are sold in over 80 different countries through distribution agents.

Spirits. In February 2003, we began the sale of pisco, under the brand Ruta Norte. Pisco is a distilled wine spirit produced in the northern regions of Chile and the southern regions of Peru. In March 2005, we entered into an association with the second largest pisco producer in Chile creating a new entity (CPCh) to which both companies contributed principally with assets and commercial brands. Currently we own 80% of CPCh. According to Nielsen numbers, CPCh in 2010 had 47% market share of the Chilean pisco industry. In May 2007, CPCh entered the rum category with the brand Sierra Morena. We ended the year 2010 with a rum market share of 15% as per Nielsen.

Sweet snacks. In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture which currently is held by our subsidiary CCU Inversiones S.A. and Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A., a subsidiary of Quiñenco. At the time, each party acquired a 50% interest in Calaf S.A. (today Foods), a corporation that acquired the trademarks, assets and know-how, among other things, of Calaf S.A.I.C. and Francisca Calaf S.A., traditional Chilean candy makers that have been in business for more than a century. The Company bought the brand Natur in 2007 and 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A. in 2008. The three brands (Calaf, Natur and Nutrabien) are consolidated in Chile and allowed us to target a variety of snacks to specific niches. We sell Food’s products using CCU’s network. ECUSA’s sales and logistics platform is used in the central part of the country and as of December 2010 Foods had a 19 people dedicated sales force to serve 71 supermarkets representing 1,276 sales points throughout the country. This marketing structure has the capacity to reach more than 116,792 clients. Our challenge for the next development stage is to leverage our distribution and selling strengths and to search for future growth opportunities.

Distribution Network. In Chile, we have an extensive and integrated distribution network for the sale and distribution of beer, soft drinks, mineral water, purified water, functional beverages, nectars, wine, pisco, rum and sweet snacks products with capacity to reach approximately 116,792 points of sale. The network includes a total of 21 owned or leased warehouses and a network of independent transportation companies handled by Transportes CCU. Sales are performed by categories dedicated sales forces and by Comercial CCU S.A. (“Comercial CCU”) which has a sales force of approximately 311 people who sell our products to approximately 41,983 customers in the North of Chile from Arica to Copiapó/Vallenar and in the mid-south area from Curicó/Talca through Coihayque, except for Concepción City. In the far south of Chile, in Punta Arenas, Comercial Patagona does the selling for all products, reaching 707 customers. In the central parts of the country and the City of Concepción, there are dedicated sales forces that focus on single lines of products. Product distribution is carried out by Transportes CCU throughout the country or by Comercial Patagona in its territory.

In Argentina we have the capacity to reach 159,762 points of sales. Our sales and distribution network for our beer products consists of six owned or leased warehouses, a direct sales force and 14 logistics operators reaching approximately 42,695 customers plus 69 supermarket chains (11 national and 58 regional supermarket chains). Sales are done by 2 independent bottlers in the south and north of Argentina.

Our Beer Business

Our historical core business, our Chilean beer operation, was first established in 1850. Since that date, our management believes we have played a leadership role in the industry, with a business that in 1902, after the merger of different breweries, gave rise to our formation. In 1995, we began building our presence in Argentina through the acquisition of a majority interest in two Argentine brewing companies, CICSA and CSF.

Our Beer Business in Chile

Overview. We estimate that annual beer consumption in Chile was 625 million liters in 2010, or approximately 37 liters per capita. The following chart shows our estimates for total and per capita consumption levels for beer in Chile for the years 2006 - 2010:

Year | Total Sales Volume (1) (millions of liters) | Per Capita (2) (liters)
2006 | 550 | 33
2007 | 573 | 35
2008 | 603 | 36
2009 | 598 | 35
2010 | 625 | 37

(1) Based on our sales data, competitors’ publicly available information, equity research analyst reports, imports and export data from customs authorities. Includes microbreweries sales. (2) Population estimated in accordance with Chile’s national census of April 2002.

We estimate that the total beer market increased by approximately 4.4% in terms of volume sold during 2010 as compared to 2009, after growing on average 3.2% per year between 2006 and 2010. We believe that the positive growth of the beer market in the period of five years (5.4% per year on average) is the result of the actions taken by us since 2001 to increase beer consumption in Chile with new products, new packaging and by creating new occasions for consumption, in addition to positive Chilean economic conditions. The market decrease in 2009 is primarily a result of the effects of the global financial crisis in Chile, which led to increased unemployment and consumption slowdown. After the February 27, 2010 earthquake, the unemployment rate decreased from 9.1% to 7.1% thereby increasing consumption and resulting in a 4.4% total sales volume increase in the beer market. CCU’s sales volume grew only by 1.5%, less than the total market growth rate of 4.4%, due to the temporary lack of product supply after the Santiago brewery plant was damaged by the earthquake. Although we were able to resume production activities within a month after the earthquake, this period of inactivity gave an advantage to other market participants.

There are three main Chilean manufacturers: us, Cervecería Chile and Cervecería Austral whose principal brands of beer in Chile are Cristal, Báltica and Austral, respectively. According to our estimates, during 2010, we and Cervecería Chile accounted for approximately 83% and 13% of total beer sales in Chile, respectively. In November 2000, we acquired a 50% stake in Cervecería Austral, located in the city of Punta Arenas. This brewery has an annual nominal production capacity of 5.9 million liters and had less than 1% market share during 2010. In October 2001, Cervecería Austral entered into a license agreement with our subsidiary, CCU Chile, to produce and sell our brand Cristal, and also any other brand, owned by or licensed to CCU Chile in the southern part of Chile. During 2003, Cervecería Austral began the production and sale of our brands Cristal, Escudo and Dorada 6.0. In May 2002, we acquired a 50% stake in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., located in the city of Valdivia. In November 2006, we acquired additional shares of Kunstmann that allowed us to consolidate this subsidiary into our financial statements since that month. Sales of imported beer represent an estimate of 4% of total beer industry volume in 2010.

Wholesale and retail beer prices are not regulated in Chile. Wholesale prices are subject to negotiation between the producer and the purchaser. Retailers determine retail prices to the final consumer. We believe that the key factors determining retailers’ prices include: national and/or local price promotions offered by the manufacturer, the nature of product consumption (on-premise or take-out), the type of packaging (returnable or non-returnable), the applicable tax structure, the desired profit margins and the geographical location of the retailer.

Beer Production and Marketing in Chile. The production, marketing and sales of beer in Chile are our principal activities, generating net sales of CLP270,058 million, CLP278,170 million and CLP287,981 or 38%, 35.8% and 34.4% of our total net sales in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Our sales of beer by volume in Chile increased 1.5% in 2010 primarily as a result of consumption acceleration experienced in 2010 after the February 27, 2010 earthquake and more effective point of sales execution.

Cristal is our principal and best selling beer brand in Chile. Cristal Cer0,0° was introduced in December 2008 and is an alcohol free beer with regular beer-like taste. Escudo, Chile’s second most popular beer, is targeted to young-adult consumers. Royal Guard is our single, proprietary, super-premium brand. Royal Light is a light beer extension of the Royal Guard line and contains a lower alcohol content. Morenita is a dark beer and Dorada 6.0 is a discount brand. Lemon Stones is a lemon flavored sweetened beer, with 2.5% alcohol content. Kunstmann is a specialty beer produced in a variety of flavors.

On April 28, 2003, we, through our subsidiaries CCU Chile and CCU Argentina., and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed license and technical assistance agreements which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years beginning in June 2003, renewable for subsequent periods of five years. Heineken beer is the leading brand in the super-premium segment, the beer segment with the highest growth in Chile in recent years.

Additionally, we produce, bottle and distribute Paulaner beer under license from Paulaner Brauerei AG, which is controlled by the BrauHolding International GmbH Group, a joint venture between Heineken and the Schörghuber Group. The current Import and License agreement, executed in 1995, which supersedes all prior agreements, provides us with the exclusive right to produce in Chile super-premium beer under the Paulaner label and distribute in Chile a variety of additional imported Paulaner products. It has a five year term, beginning in May 1995, automatically renewable for successive five-year periods unless otherwise stated by any party. The Schörghuber Group was, until April 2003, one of the two beneficial shareholders of IRSA, our major shareholder.

In October 1996, we and Anheuser-Busch entered into an agreement granting us the exclusive right to distribute Budweiser beer in Chile. During 2004, we and Anheuser-Busch entered into a new distribution agreement, with a 12-year term, ending December 2015. See “Item 3: Key Information – Risk Factors.”

In October 2001, we signed a license agreement with Cervecería Austral S.A. for the production of the Austral brand by our beer division. This agreement has a fourteen-year term, automatically renewable for a seven-year term if certain conditions are fulfilled. This agreement can be extended for an additional seven-year period if both parties express this intention in writing.

In May 2002, we acquired a 50% ownership interest in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., a microbrewery located in the southern city of Valdivia, with an annual production capacity of 3 million liters at that time. Since June 2003, our beer division began selling Kunstmann nationwide. In November 2006, we acquired additional shares of Kunstmann that allowed us to consolidate this subsidiary.

Our investment in Cervecería Austral S.A., the production of the Austral brand by our beer division, the investment in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., plus the production of Heineken beer since June 2003, are part of our strategy to increase our presence in the premium segment of the Chilean beer market.

Our beer products sold in Chile are bottled or packaged in returnable and non-returnable bottles, aluminum cans or stainless steel kegs at our production facilities in the Chilean cities of Santiago and Temuco, and in Antofagasta until July 2009. During 2008, 2009 and 2010, we sold our beer products in Chile in the following packaging formats:

| Percentage of Total Beer Products Sold
Container | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Returnable (1) | 60% | 59% | 56%
Non-Returnable (2) | 35% | 37% | 40%
Returnable Kegs (3) | 5% | 4% | 4%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

(1) Returnable beer containers include glass bottles of various sizes. (2) Non-Returnable beer containers include bottles and aluminum cans, both of assorted sizes. (3) Returnable kegs are stainless steel containers, which have a capacity of 20, 30 and 50 liters.

Our beer production in 2010 was centralized in the Santiago and Temuco plants. The Temuco plant commenced production in November 1999, replacing the closed Concepción and Osorno plants. For a more detailed discussion of our capital expenditure program, see “– History and Development of the Company – Capital Expenditures.”

Raw Materials and other Supplies. The principal raw materials used in our production of beer are malt, rice, water and hops. We obtain our supply of malt from local producers and in the international market. In 2007, we renewed and signed long-term contracts with local producers for approximately 40% of our requirements. The balance for 2011 is expected to continue to be imported from Argentina. During 2010, we received 30,380 tons of malt from Argentina and 27,036 tons of barley from Germany, representing 100% of our imports. Rice is obtained from local and international suppliers in spot transactions and/or annual contract agreements. We pre-treat rice in order to ensure that it meets our standards of quality. We import hops mainly pursuant to contracts with international suppliers, in the United States, which permit us to secure supplies for periods of up to four years.

Water is essential in the production of beer. We obtain all of our water from wells located at our plants and/or from public utilities. The water is treated at facilities located at our plants to remove impurities and to adjust the characteristics of the water before it is used in the production process.

We maintain testing facilities at each of our plants and factories where raw materials are tested. Additionally, samples of beer are analyzed at various stages of production to ensure product quality. Samples of Heineken beer are periodically sent to Holland to verify the quality of the product.

We generally purchase all of the glass bottles used in our beer packaging from the major national glass supplier in Chile, Cristalerías Chile S.A. under three-year agreements. In addition, other sources, principally in Argentina, can be used when price and delivery terms are favorable. During 2010, all of our requirements for aluminum cans were purchased from a local supplier, Rexam Chile S.A., but if price and delivery conditions are favorable, cans can be imported. Our kegs used for draft beer, are purchased from various suppliers outside Chile. We obtain the labels for our beer products principally from local suppliers. Plastic caps are principally purchased from two suppliers in Chile. Crowns are currently imported from Brazil and Mexico.

Prices of principal raw materials used in beer production in Chile are tied to the U.S. dollar and have varied in Chilean pesos because of general commodity price fluctuations in international markets as well as for the variation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar. From time to time, prices of agricultural products vary depending on demand and supply factors.

We believe that all of the contracts or other agreements between us and third party suppliers, with respect to the supply of raw materials for beer products, contain standard and customary commercial terms and conditions. We do not believe we are dependent on any one supplier for a significant portion of our important raw materials. During the past ten years, we have not experienced any material difficulties in obtaining adequate supplies of necessary raw materials at satisfactory prices, nor do we expect to in the future.

Sales, Transportation and Distribution. We distribute all of our beer products in Chile directly to retail, supermarket and wholesale customers. This system enables us to maintain a high frequency of contact with our customers, obtain more timely and accurate marketing-related information, and maintain good working relationships with our retail customers.

In October 2005, we launched Comercial CCU, a subsidiary in charge of a single sales force dedicated to selling our beverage and sweet snack products, in order to capture synergies and focus on sales execution. Originally, this plan was piloted in rural areas and small cities in southern Chile. As of 2008, the territory covered by Commercial CCU S.A. has expanded to include the north of Chile from Arica to Copiapó/Vallenar and the south, from Curicó to Coyaique except for the City of Concepción.

In July 2002, Comercial Patagona Ltda. began selling all of our beer products in the country’s Region XII. Comercial Patagona Ltda. is a subsidiary of Cervecera Austral S.A. that is responsible for the sales and distribution of our products and those of Cervecera Austral in Chile’s extreme south.

After production, bottling and packaging, our beer is either stored at one of the three production facilities or transported to a network of 21 warehouses which are located throughout Chile and are either owned or leased by us. Beer products are generally shipped from the region of production to the closest warehouse, allowing us to minimize our transportation and delivery costs.

As of December 31, 2010, we had more than 36,395 customers in Chile for our beer products – none of our customers accounted for more than 2% of our total beer sales by volume, with the exception of three large supermarket chains that represented in the aggregate 17% of our total beer sales by volume. During 2010, the Chilean supermarket industry continued to consolidate, increasing the importance and purchasing power of a few supermarket chains. We do not maintain any long-term contractual arrangements for the sale of beer with any of our customers in Chile.

In 2010, we had a dedicated sales force of approximately 193 salesmen, responsible for our sales of beer and other products in the territories not covered by Comercial CCU or Comercial Patagona. This sales force uses a pre-sell system, like the rest of CCU’s sales platform, and covers approximately 22,667 clients, including 28 supermarket chains which represent 635 points of sales.

Our customers make payment for our products either in cash at the time of delivery or in accordance with one of various credit arrangements. Payment on credit sales for beer is generally due 26 days from the date of delivery. Credit sales accounted for 33% of our beer sales in Chile in each of the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Losses on credit sales of beer in Chile have not been significant.

Beginning in October 2001, all of the warehouses and transportation companies used to store and deliver all our products, are managed on a consolidated basis by our subsidiary Transportes CCU Ltda.

We distribute our beer products throughout Chile to:

· off-premise retail: small and medium sized retail outlets, which in turn sell beer to consumers for take-out consumption;

· on-premise retail: retail establishments such as restaurants, hotels and bars for on-premise consumption;

· wholesalers; and

· supermarket chains.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the percentage mix of the above distribution channels for our beer products in Chile was as follows:

The above figures do not include export sales to third parties, which amounted to 0.5, 1.5 and 0.4 million liters in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

The average price per liter to our customers for beer products in Chile increased from an average of CLP537.67 in 2009 to CLP550.65 in 2010, or 2.4%.

Seasonality. As a result of the seasonality of the beer industry, our sales and production volumes are normally at their lowest in the second and third calendar quarters and at their highest in the first and fourth calendar quarters (i.e., those months corresponding to the holidays as well as the summer vacation season in Chile).

The following table shows our annual sales volume of beer in Chile, excluding exports, by quarter in 2008, 2009 and 2010:

Year | Quarter | Sales Volume (millions of liters) | % of Annual Sales Volume
2008 | 1st quarter | 156.9 | 30.4
| 2nd quarter | 91.2 | 17.7
| 3rd quarter | 107.3 | 20.8
| 4th quarter | 161.4 | 31.2
| Total | 516.8 | 100.0
2009 | 1st quarter | 150.7 | 29.7
| 2nd quarter | 94.7 | 18.7
| 3rd quarter | 102.2 | 20.1

| 4th quarter | 162.1 | 31.5
| Total | 514.8 | 100.0

Geographical Markets. Our main beer production facility is located in Santiago. Santiago and the surrounding areas (referred to as the Metropolitan Region) account for approximately 40% of the population of Chile and accounted for approximately 37% of our beer sales by volume in 2010. We also have one additional beer production facility (Temuco) located outside the Santiago metropolitan area. Until July 2009 we also operated a bottling facility in Antofagasta. Virtually all of our brands are distributed to customers located within the geographic areas of the corresponding production facilities.

Competition. Our principal competitor in the beer business is Cervecería Chile (a subsidiary of Anheuser Busch InBev), which commenced operations in Chile during the second half of 1991, resulting in a loss of market share for us. Nevertheless, after experiencing a market share of 86% in both 1994 and 1995, we were able to recapture our lost market share, reaching 90% market share in 2004. However, in 2005, Cervecería Chile launched a new product which negatively affected our market share, and in 2006, we had 86% market share which we maintained until 2008, in 2009 dropped slightly to 85% and in 2010 dropped to 83%. The drop in market share was a result of two principal factors: first, inventory issues for the period that followed the February 27, 2010 earthquake, which gave imported beers and our competitors an opportunity to increase their market share points, and second, on average, we increased our prices by a higher percentage than our competitors.

Our estimated share of the Chilean beer market over the last five years is as follows:

Year | Our Chilean Market Share for Beer (*)
2006 | 86%
2007 | 86%
2008 | 86%
2009 | 85%
2010 | 83%

(*) Considers beer sold directly by Austral and Kunstmann

Our competitor, Cervecería Chile has one production facility located in Santiago and distributes its products throughout the country. Cervecería Chile uses third party distributors in Region I in the north, and from the city of Castro in the Region X to the south. We estimate that the sales of Cervecería Chile’s brands of beer by volume accounted for approximately 12% of total beer sales in 2008, and 13% in 2009 and 2010. We estimate that Cervecería Chile has an annual production capacity of approximately 900 million liters which represents approximately 13% of our annual nominal production capacity in Chile.

Despite the high cost of shipping beer to Chile and the competitive advantage inherent to domestic producers as a result of Chile’s returnable glass bottle system, imported beer is becoming a more significant component of the Chilean beer market, in particular in the one-way packaging segment. We estimate that imports and microbreweries accounted for 4.4% of total beer sales by volume during 2010.

Although there are currently no significant legal or regulatory barriers to entering the Chilean beer market, substantial investment would be required to establish or acquire production and distribution facilities and bottles for use in Chile’s proprietary returnable bottling system, and to establish a critical mass in sales volumes. Nevertheless, if long-term economic conditions in Chile continue to be favorable, other enterprises may be expected to attempt to enter the Chilean beer market. In addition, our beer brands in Chile may face increased competition from other alcoholic beverages such as wine and spirits, as well as from non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks.

Our Beer Business in Argentina

Overview. In December 1994, we established CCU Argentina in order to develop a presence in the Argentine beer market. During January and February 1995, we, through CCU Argentina, acquired a 62.7% interest in CICSA, a brewery located in the city of Salta, 1,600 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires. In September 1995, CCU Argentina expanded its operations by purchasing 98.8% of CSF, a brewery located 450 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires in the city of Santa Fe.

Table of Contents

In December 1995, we entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which Anheuser-Busch acquired a 4.4% interest in CCU Argentina. The agreement involved two kinds of contracts: an investment and a licensing contract. The licensing contract was extended until 2025 and grants CCU Argentina the exclusive right to produce, package, market, sell and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina and Uruguay. In June 2008, after the last capital expansion, Anheuser-Busch reduced its interest in CCU Argentina to 4.04% and we increased our participation to 95.96%. In December 20, 2010, our subsidiary Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda. acquired a 4.04% equity stake in CCU Argentina from Anheuser-Busch Investment, S.L. After the acquisition, CCU, through its subsidiary Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda., became the sole equity holder of CCU Argentina.

In March 2004, AmBev and Interbrew announced an agreement to merge, creating the world’s largest brewer, InBev. This merger was closed in August 2004. In January 2007, AmBev assumed control of Quilmes, our competitor. Inbev and Anheuser Busch merged in November 2008, creating the world’s global beer leader. See “Item 3: Risk Factors.”

In January 1998, we merged two of our subsidiaries, CICSA and CSF. Currently both plants operate under the CICSA name. As a result of the merger of CICSA and CSF, CCU Argentina holds a 99.7% interest in CICSA as of December 2010.

In April 1998, CCU Argentina paid approximately US$8 million to acquire the brands and assets of Cervecería Córdoba. After the solution of certain labor issues, we began the production of the Córdoba brand at our Santa Fe plant during mid 1998.

In April and June 2008, CICSA paid an aggregate amount of US$88 million to acquire ICSA. Among other assets, ICSA owns the Bieckert, Palermo and Imperial beer brands, and a brewery in Luján, Buenos Aires, which has a nominal production capacity of 270 million liters per year. Pursuant to the acquisition of ICSA in April 2008, it was merged with CICSA in July 2008.

On December 27, 2010, CICSA acquired equity interests in Saénz Briones S.A. and Sidra La Victoria S.A. Through this transaction, CICSA became the controlling shareholder of the referred companies. These companies own the assets used in the production, packaging and marketing of cider and other spirits businesses in Argentina, which are marketed through several brands, including Sidra Real and Sidra La Victoria.

The Argentine Beer Market. The Argentine beer market is estimated by us to be almost three times the size of Chile’s. Traditionally, beer and wine have been the principal alcoholic beverages consumed in the country. We estimate that annual beer consumption in Argentina was 1,753 million liters, or approximately 43 liters per capita in 2010.

The table below sets forth our estimates of beer consumption in Argentina during each of the last five years:

Year | Volume (in millions of liters) | Per Capita (*) (liters)
2006 | 1,472 | 38
2007 | 1,579 | 40
2008 | 1,716 | 43
2009 | 1,719 | 43
2010 | 1,753 | 43

(*) Population estimated in accordance with Argentina’s national census of 2001.

We estimate that total beer consumption in Argentina increased at a four-year compounded annual growth rate of 4.5% between 2006 and 2010. During 2010, the Argentine beer market increased 2%, despite the 6.6% increase in GDP.

Since January 2006, the Argentine Government has adopted different methods to directly and indirectly regulate price increases of various consumer goods, including bottled beer, in an effort to slow inflation. Wholesale price increases are negotiated between the producer and the purchaser as a result of competitive situations in the industry and government approval for each beer company. Prices to consumers are determined by the negotiated wholesale price, as impacted by the producer's product pricing strategy. In order to optimize its profit margins, the producer must carefully manage its product and channel mix and trade discounts.

Beer Production and Marketing in Argentina. Our beer operation in Argentina generated net sales of CLP137,296 million and CLP156,363 million representing 17.7% and 18.7% of our total net sales in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The increases during this period were the result of higher prices and volumes, as a consequence of a favorable economic environment in Argentina.

We produce and market super-premium, premium, medium-priced and popular-priced beer brands in Argentina. The following table shows our principal brands produced and imported under license in Argentina:

Super-Premium | Premium | Medium-priced | Popular-priced
beer brands | beer brands | beer brands | beer brands
Heineken (1) | Budweiser (1) | Córdoba | Palermo
Corona (2) | Salta |  | Bieckert
Guinness (2) | Santa Fe |  |
Negra Modelo (2) | Schneider |  |
Paulaner (2) |  |  |
Imperial Kunstmann (2) Birra Moretti (2) Otro Mundo |  |  |

(1) Produced under license (2) Imported

Schneider is our principal proprietary brand in Argentina, accounting for 22.6% of our Argentine sales volume in 2010. We began local production of Budweiser brand beer in December 1996. Budweiser beer represented 29.9% of our Argentine sales volume in 2010. Since February 2002, our Budweiser one-liter returnable bottle, the main format in the market, has been priced at the same level as the leading brand in the market. In June 2003, we began selling locally produced Heineken beer. Our Schneider brand is sold in two varieties regular lager and dark; the Salta brand is sold in regular and dark varieties, and the Santa Fe and Córdoba brands are sold only as regular lager. During 1997, we began to import Guinness beer from Ireland, making Argentina the only country in South America where Guinness draught is sold. During 2001, we began importing Corona beer from Mexico, and during 2005 and 2007, we also began importing Negra Modelo beer from Mexico and Paulaner beer from Germany. In April 2008, we bought the brands Imperial, Palermo and Bieckert along with the production facility in Luján and in October 2008, we started importing Kunstmann. In 2009, we introduced Otro Mundo and the Italian imported brand, Birra Moretti. During 2010, we exported 25.1 million liters of beer from Argentina to other countries, representing 5.9% of CCU Argentina’s beer sales volume.

In March 2010, we exported Schneider to Chile in order to mitigate the supply interruption caused by the damage to our Santiago brewery as a result of the February 27, 2010 earthquake in Chile.

Our beer products are bottled or packaged in returnable and non-returnable glass bottles, aluminum cans, or stainless steel kegs at our production facilities. During 2008, 2009 and 2010, we sold our beer products in Argentina in the following packaging formats

Percentage of Total Beer Products Sold
Container | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Returnable (1) | 89% | 89% | 85%
Non-Returnable (2) | 10% | 10% | 14%
Returnable Kegs (3) | 1% | 1% | 1%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

(1) Returnable beer containers include glass bottles of various sizes. (2) Non-returnable beer containers include glass bottles and aluminum cans, both of assorted sizes. (3) Returnable kegs refer to stainless steel containers in assorted sizes.

The license agreement between CCU Argentina and Anheuser-Busch, which provides CCU Argentina with the exclusive right to produce, package, market, sell and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina and Uruguay, had an initial term of 20 years commencing in December 1995, which in March 2008, was extended to December 2025. Among other things, the license agreement includes provisions for both technical and marketing assistance from Anheuser-Busch. Under the license agreement, CCU Argentina is obligated to purchase certain raw materials from Anheuser-Busch or from suppliers approved by Anheuser-Busch. We began distribution of our locally produced Budweiser in December 1996. See “– Sales, Transportation and Distribution.” In addition, the license agreement is subject to certain specified market share targets and marketing expenditures. During the third quarter 2000, we and Anheuser-Busch signed an export agreement to supply Budweiser from Argentina to Paraguay, Chile and Brazil. In August 2003, the license agreement was modified, with regard to certain targets, to adjust it to the current economic situation of the Argentine market. See “Item 3: Risk Factors.”

On April 28, 2003, CCU Argentina and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V., signed license and technical assistance agreements which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years beginning in June 2003, renewable for subsequent periods of five years. Heineken beer is the second brand in the super-premium segment in Argentina.

In October 2006, we signed a long-term contract with ICSA to brew, bottle and package beer in the former AmBev plant in Luján, near Buenos Aires, that was purchased by ICSA. In January 2007, we began brewing our local brands in this plant, obtaining enough production capacity to ensure future growth. In April 2008, we acquired ICSA, including the Luján plant and the brands Imperial, Bieckert and Palermo. ICSA also had a brewing contract agreement with AmBev and, under such contract CICSA brewed beer for AmBev during the peak demand season of 2008-2009.

Raw Materials and other Supplies. The principal raw materials used in the production of our beer products in Argentina are malt, corn syrup, water and hops. Rice is used in the production of Budweiser beer. During 2010, we continued obtaining malt and rice from regional suppliers, benefiting from lower costs as compared to imported materials. We obtain rice from suppliers in Argentina and Uruguay, and malt and corn syrup from suppliers in Argentina.

Other raw materials are obtained from local and international suppliers in spot transactions and/or annual contracts. All purchased raw materials are tested in order to ensure that they meet our standards of quality.

Water is essential in the production of beer. Our operation in Salta obtains all of its water from wells located at its plant, and the Santa Fe operation obtains all of its water from the Paraná river. The Luján operation obtains its water from the Napa Puelche, an underground sheet of water. The water is treated at facilities located at our plants to remove impurities and adjust the characteristics of the water before it is used in the production process.

We maintain testing facilities at each of our plants and factories in which raw materials are analyzed according to our standards. Additionally, samples of beer are analyzed at various stages of production to ensure product quality. Samples of Heineken and Budweiser beer are periodically sent to Holland and to Anheuser-Busch facilities in the United States, respectively, to verify the consistency and quality of the products.

We generally purchase all of our glass bottles from the major national glass supplier in Argentina, Rigolleau/Cattorini, and from Saint Gobain in Brazil. During 2010, all of our requirements for aluminum cans were purchased from a local supplier, Rexam Argentina S.A. Kegs used for draft beer are purchased from various suppliers in Europe. Plastic storage and carrying crates, as well as the labels for beer products and crowns, are obtained from local and international suppliers.

Prices of principal raw materials used in beer production in Argentina have decreased in dollar terms. However, from time to time, prices of agricultural products vary depending on demand and supply factors.

We believe that all contracts or other agreements between us and third party suppliers, with respect to the supply of raw materials for beer products, contain standard and customary commercial terms and conditions. We do not believe we are dependent on any one supplier for a substantial portion of our raw materials in Argentina. We have not experienced any significant difficulties in obtaining adequate supplies of necessary raw materials at satisfactory prices and do not expect to in the future.

Sales, Transportation and Distribution. After production, bottling and packaging, our beer is either stored at the production facilities or transported to a network of six warehouses leased or owned by us. Beer products are generally shipped to those warehouses, which are located within the region in which the beer products are sold.

We have the capacity to reach 159,762 points of sale in Argentina with our direct and indirect sales force. More than half of our beer in Argentina is sold and distributed through third party sales and distribution chains in the regions surrounding the cities of Santa Fé, Salta, Córdoba, Rosario and Buenos Aires. In recent years, we reduced the number of our distributors and replaced some of them by larger ones, among which there are currently three bottlers, one in the south, another one in the north and the third one in the northeastern regions of Argentina. As of December 31, 2010, we had a direct sales force which sold our beer products to approximately 42,695 customers within the Salta, Santa Fé, Córdoba, Rosario, the Federal Capital and its outlying metropolitan area, in addition to 69 regional and national supermarket chains throughout the country. None of our customers individually accounted for more than 2% of our total beer sales by volume, with the exception of two large distributors that represented in the aggregate 20% of our total beer sales by volume.

Our Argentine beer customers either make payments for our products in cash at the time of delivery or through one of our various credit arrangements. Payment on credit sales is currently due 7 days from the date of delivery to wholesalers, and an average of 60 days of delivery to supermarkets. Credit sales accounted for 64%, 62% and 74% of our beer sales in Argentina in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Losses on credit sales of beer in Argentina have not been significant.

In Argentina, though most beer is sold to wholesalers, we also sell our products to retailers and supermarket chains. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the percentage mix of the above distribution channels for our beer products in Argentina was as follows:

Percentage of Total Beer Products Sold
Distribution Channels | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Wholesalers | 74% | 66% | 64%
Retailers | 13% | 19% | 22%
Supermarkets | 13% | 15% | 14%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

The following table sets forth our beer sales volume in Argentina by category during each of the last five years, including exports to other countries:

Category | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
| (in millions of liters)
Super-premium | 30.8 | 38.3 | 50.5 | 59.7 | 63.1
Premium | 96.2 | 109.5 | 127.1 | 148.1 | 164.5
Medium-priced | 104.6 | 104.6 | 106.8 | 106.0 | 108.5
Popular-priced | 1.8 | 1.1 | 81.7 | 77.8 | 78.1
Total | 233.4 | 253.5 | 366.1 | 391.6 | 414.2

The average price, in Chilean pesos, for our beer products to our customers in Argentina increased 6.6% in 2010, from CLP344 per liter in 2009 to CLP367 per liter in 2010. The increase is primarily explained by (1) a higher participation of super-premium and premium brands in our sales mix, (2) nominal price increases as a result of higher costs and expenses, and (3) currency conversion effects.

Seasonality. As a result of the seasonality of the beer industry, our sales and production volumes are normally at their lowest in the second and third calendar quarters and at their highest in the first and fourth quarters (i.e., those months corresponding to the summer and holiday seasons in Argentina).The following table shows the annual sales volume of beer in Argentina, including exports, during each quarter in 2008, 2009 and 2010:

Year | Quarter | Sales Volume (millions of liters) | % of Annual Sales Volume
2008 | 1st quarter(1) | 103.5 | 28.3
| 2nd quarter | 72.2 | 19.7
| 3rd quarter | 72.9 | 19.9

| Total | 414.2 | 100.0

(1) For comparison purposes we are showing ICSA sales in the first quarter.

Geographical Markets. Our beer production facilities in Argentina are located in Santa Fe, Salta and Luján. Santa Fe and its surrounding areas account for approximately 8.2% of the population of Argentina and for approximately 10.1% of total beer sales of CCU Argentina by volume in 2010. The region surrounding and including the cities of Salta and Jujuy account for approximately 4.9% of the population of Argentina and for approximately 6.1% of total beer sales of CCU Argentina by volume in 2010. The region surrounding and including the city of Córdoba accounts for approximately 8.5% of the Argentine population and represents approximately 9% of CCU Argentina’s sales by volume. Lastly, the province of Buenos Aires accounts for approximately 44.6% of the population of Argentina and for approximately 33.6% of total beer sales of CCU Argentina by volume in 2010.

Competition. Since 2003, after the agreement between Quilmes and AmBev, the Argentine beer market consisted of three principal brewing groups: AmBev-Quilmes, us and Warsteiner (owner of CASA Isenbeck). The principal proprietary brands of these companies are Quilmes, Schneider and CASA Isenbeck, respectively. In December 2006, ICSA, a new competitor, entered the Argentine beer market. ICSA began its operations at the former AmBev brewery in Luján producing three beer brands: Palermo, Bieckert and Imperial, which had previously belonged to Quilmes. These assets were sold by AmBev-Quilmes in response to requirements of the antitrust authorities in Argentina. In 2008, these assets were bought by CCU Argentina and subsequently merged into CICSA. In November 2010, SABMiller acquired CASA Isenbeck.

According to the information made public by our competitors and our estimates for CASA Isenbeck, the different brewing groups had the following market shares in 2010: AmBev-Quilmes, 74%; us, 23%; and SABMiller (Warsteiner until November 2010), 3%.

The following table shows our market share in the Argentine market over the past five years:

Our Argentine Market Share for Beer
Year | Estimated Market Share
2006 | 16%
2007 | 16%
2008 | 21%
2009 | 22%
2010 | 23%

Quilmes, the beer market leader in Argentina and our principal competitor, also has beer operations in Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia. In February 1997, Quilmes purchased Bieckert in Argentina, and, as a result of that acquisition, increased its production capacity by approximately 170 million liters, increasing its market share by an estimated 4.9%. As of December 31, 2010, Quilmes had five breweries in Argentina with an estimated total annual production capacity of 1.2 billion liters. Quilmes’ large size enables it to benefit from economies of scale in the production and distribution of beer throughout Argentina.

We estimate that Quilmes’ average market share in 2010 decreased to 74% from 82% market share in late 1994. At that time, Companhia Cervejaria Brahma, one of the two largest beer producers in Brazil, commenced production at its new brewery in Luján, near Buenos Aires. In addition, Warsteiner (today SABMiller), a large German brewer, commenced production at its new brewery in Zárate, also near Buenos Aires, with an annual production capacity estimated to be approximately 140 million liters. Prior to commencing production in Argentina, Companhia Cervejaria Brahma and Warsteiner competed in the Argentine market with imported beer. In July 1999, the merger of Companhia Cervejaria Brahma and Companhia Antarctica Paulista was announced, creating AmBev. This merger was finally approved in March 2000, creating one of the largest beverage producers in the world.

In May 2002, AmBev and Quilmes announced that pursuant to an agreement between both parties, AmBev would transfer all of its beer assets in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay to Quilmes in exchange for 26.4 million new B shares of Quilmes. Additionally, according to the announcement AmBev would purchase from the controlling shareholders of Quilmes 230.92 million class A shares for US$346.4 million. Also the agreement stipulates that AmBev can purchase at the end of a seven-year period the remaining Quilmes shares owned by the current controlling group, the Bemberg family, with AmBev shares. The Bemberg family had the option to sell to AmBev their remaining class A shares during a period beginning with the end of the first year and ending with the seventh year after the agreement was announced. This option was exercised in April 2006. This transaction was approved by the Argentine antitrust authorities on January 13, 2003, subject to the condition that AmBev and Quilmes divest themselves of certain brands and the AmBev plant in Luján, near Buenos Aires, to a company currently not present in the Argentine beer market. On February 14, 2003, through our subsidiary CICSA, we filed a complaint before the Argentine federal courts in order to be eligible to participate in the acquisition of these assets. In February 2006, the Argentinean Supreme Court of Justice ruled against our complaint. In December 2006, the Argentine authorities approved the sale of these assets to ICSA, a company owned by local investors. On March 3, 2004, AmBev and Interbrew announced an agreement to merge the two companies, creating the world’s largest brewer under the name InBev. This merger was closed in August 2004. On November 18, 2008 Anheuser Busch and Inbev merged creating the global beer leader. Consolidation in the beer industry has resulted in larger and more competitive participants, which could change the current market conditions under which we operate.

Due to the high cost of shipping beer to Argentina and the competitive advantage inherent to domestic producers as a result of Argentina’s returnable glass bottle system, we estimate that imported beer sales accounted for less than 0.7% of the total sales volume in 2010.

Our beer brands in Argentina also face competition from other alcoholic beverages such as wine and spirits, as well as from non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks.

Excise taxes for the beverage industry in Argentina have been subject to variations in the past. The last modification was in 1999 and has been applicable since January 2000. The following table shows current Argentine excise beverage taxes:

28

Table of Contents

Product Type | 1999 Excise Taxes | Current Excise Taxes
Non-Alcoholic Beverages |  |
Cola soft drinks | 4% | 8%
Flavored soft drinks, mineral water and juices | 0%-4% | 4%-8%
Alcoholic Beverages |  |
Beer | 4% | 8%
Whisky | 12% | 20%
10-29% alcohol content | 6% | 20%
30% or more alcohol content | 8% | 20%
Wine | 6% | 20%

Future changes in excise taxes in Argentina could adversely affect our sales volume, market share and operating margins.

Our Non-Alcoholic Beverage Business

Overview. We have produced and sold soft drinks in Chile since 1902. Prior to November 1994, we independently produced, bottled and distributed carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks in Chile. Our line of soft drink products included our own proprietary brands, in addition to brands produced under license from Cadbury Schweppes plc. (currently Crush, Crush Light, Canada Dry Agua Tónica, Canada Dry Agua Tónica Light, Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Canada Dry Ginger Ale Light, Canada Dry Limón Soda and Canada Dry Limón Soda Light) and from PepsiCo (currently Pepsi, Pepsi Light, 7Up, 7Up light and Mirinda). Under a similar licensing arrangement with Watt’s, a local fruit related company, we bottled and distributed Watt’s nectar products in Chile from 1987 until December 2006. At present Promarca, owned by us and Watt’s 50-50%, is the owner of the brand and we produce, bottle and distribute nectar products in bottles under Promarca’s license. We have been in the bottled water business since 1960, and since December 2007 this business is conducted by Aguas CCU, which since June 2009 is 50.1% owned by us and 49.9% owned directly or indirectly by Nestlé Chile S.A. Under our two proprietary brand names, Cachantun and Porvenir, we bottled and nationally distribute mineral water from our own two natural sources located within the central region of Chile. In September 2008 we added to our brand Glacier the brand Nestlé Pure Life, a purified water of the highest quality standards produced and distributed under the license of Nestlé Chile S.A.. We distribute the imported brand Perrier. We also produce, bottle and/or distribute sports drinks (Gatorade and imported Propel) and tea (Lipton) under the license of PepsiCo and our own brand energy drinks (Kem Extreme) as well as PepsiCo’s licensed one (imported SoBe Adrenaline Rush).

In November 1994, we merged our soft drink and mineral water businesses with the one owned by BAESA in Chile (PepsiCo’s bottler at that time) creating ECUSA for the production, bottling, distribution and marketing of soft drink and mineral water products in Chile. Therefore, we began producing PepsiCo brands under license (currently Pepsi, Pepsi Light, Seven Up, Seven Up Light, Mirinda, Gatorade and Lipton Ice Tea). On November 29, 1999, we purchased 45% of ECUSA’s shares owned by BAESA for approximately CLP54,118 million. Since that date, we own 100% of ECUSA’s shares. However, we have had control of ECUSA since January 1998 after the shareholders agreement was amended. In January 2001, ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd. signed an agreement to continue bottling Crush and Canada Dry brands. See “– Non-Alcoholic Beverage Production and Marketing in Chile.”

The Chilean Non-Alcoholic Beverage Market. Commercial soft drink production was first established in Chile by us in 1902, and mineral water production began in 1960. In 2010, we estimate that annual carbonated soft drinks consumption in Chile was 2,037 million liters or approximately 119 liters per capita. We estimate that consumption of fruit nectars and juices was 338 million liters or approximately 20 liters per capita, in 2010. We also estimate that consumption of mineral water, including both carbonated and non-carbonated, was 193 million liters or approximately 11 liters per capita, in 2010. Purified Water per capita consumption is estimated to be 8.3 liters with a total consumption of 141 millions of liters.

The soft drink market in Chile consists of both carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. The principal types of carbonated beverages are colas and non-colas. The principal non-carbonated beverages are fruit nectars and fruit juices, which are estimated to have accounted for approximately 19% of our total non-alcoholic beverage sales by revenues in 2010.

The table below sets forth our estimates of total and per capita carbonated soft drinks, fruit nectars and mineral water sales in Chile during each of the last five years:

| Soft Drink and Mineral Water Sales |
| Volume (1) | Liters Per Capita (2) |
| (millions of liters) |  |
Year | Carbonated Soft Drinks | Nectars (3) | Mineral Water | Total | Carbonated Soft Drinks | Nectars (3) | Mineral Water | Total
2006 | 1,866 | 223 | 169 | 2,257 | 114 | 14 | 10 | 137
2007 | 1,940 | 255 | 174 | 2,369 | 117 | 15 | 10 | 143

2009 | 1,953 | 296 | 185 | 2,434 | 115 | 17 | 11 | 144
2010 | 2,037 | 338 | 193 | 2,568 | 119 | 20 | 11 | 150

(1) Based on our sales data, publicly available information from competitors, equity research analyst reports, information from Nielsen and ANBER. (2) Population estimated in accordance with Chile’s national census of April 2002.
(3) Includes liquid juices, nectars, fruit beverages and artificial juices.

The following table sets forth our estimates as to the percentage of total carbonated soft drinks production in Chile, represented by each of the two principal categories of carbonated soft drinks during the last three years:

Type | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Colas | 58% | 58% | 58%
Non-colas | 42% | 42% | 42%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

Since the creation of the ECUSA joint venture in November 1994, the two main soft drinks producer groups in Chile have been (i) the licensees of TCCC (consisting of three companies with 13 bottling plants) and (ii) us. Since August 1998, private labels had an increasing participation in the industry which declined in time and represented 2% of the total carbonated soft drink sales in Chile in 2010. Distribution of these brands is concentrated in the supermarket channel where they constituted a 7% market share in 2010. Additionally, discount brand producers have entered the market and represented 6% of the soft drinks market in 2010. Due to the strong presence of local producers, the high cost of transportation and the existing returnable bottle system that accounts for a large portion of soft drink sales volume, we believe that there is no significant market for imported soft drinks in Chile, which were estimated to represent less than 1% of all soft drinks sales by volume in 2010.

The bottled water market in Chile is comprised of both carbonated and non-carbonated mineral water, and purified water. As with the soft drink market, approximately 95% of all mineral water in Chile is processed and marketed by two entities, us and Vital Aguas S.A., a subsidiary of the three licensees companies of TCCC in Chile. Our mineral water products have been produced by ECUSA since November 1994. We have approximately 13% participation in the purified water market segment in 2010, according to Nielsen, after introducing Nestlé Pure Life at the end of September 2008.

Wholesale and retail prices of both soft drinks and water products are not regulated in Chile. We believe that the key factors determining retailers’ prices include any national and/or local price promotions offered by the manufacturer, the nature of product consumption (on-premise or take-out), the type of product packaging (returnable or non-returnable), the applicable tax structure, the desired profit margins and the geographical location of the retailer.

Our Non-alcoholic Beverage Production and Marketing in Chile. Our soft drinks, nectar and water production and marketing in Chile generated net sales of CLP187,071 million, CLP201,512 million and CLP223,476 million, or 26.3%, 25.9% and 26.7% of our total net sales, in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

In 1994, ECUSA and Cadbury Schweppes plc (“Cadbury Schweppes”), the latter through its subsidiaries CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd., entered into license agreements for all Cadbury Schweppes products. On December 11, 1998, TCCC announced an agreement with Cadbury Schweppes to acquire certain of the latter's international beverage brands, including those licensed to ECUSA, and in August 1999 the agreement was reported to have been consummated. In September 2000, after more than a year’s litigation, both in Chile (suits at civil courts and antitrust authorities) and England (arbitration under ICC rules), ECUSA and TCCC reached an agreement superseding ECUSA’s previous license contracts with CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd. The new agreement, referred to as the “Bottler Contract”, was executed between ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd., concerning the Crush and Canada Dry brands, and was approved by the Chilean antitrust commission, thus putting an end to the proceeding regarding the Cadbury Schweppes brands issue and dismissing all complaints filed in consideration of the agreement. On January 15, 2009, the parties executed an amendment to the Bottler Contract which, among others, extended its duration until December 31, 2018 renewable for consecutive five-year periods provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.

In March 2006, ECUSA signed new exclusive bottling agreements with PepsiCo, Inc. and its subsidiary Seven-Up International, respectively, authorizing ECUSA to produce, sell and distribute Pepsi products in Chile. The contracts terminate on March 31, 2020.

Likewise, in March 2006, a new exclusive bottling agreement was executed between ECUSA and Stokely Van-Camp, Inc., a subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., authorizing ECUSA to bottle, sell and distribute Gatorade products in Chile, for an initial term ending on March 31, 2010, automatically renewable for successive two or three-year periods if certain conditions set forth in the contract are met. In August 2002, we began importing, selling and distributing Gatorade, the world’s number one isotonic drink. Since October 2006, we have been producing Gatorade locally. In May 2008, we began importing, selling and distributing Propel, a low calorie sports drink targeted for women.

In November 2007, ECUSA signed an exclusive bottling agreement with Pepsi Lipton International Limited, authorizing ECUSA to produce, sell and distribute ready to drink tea beverages in Chile. This agreement terminates on March 31, 2020.

In addition, ECUSA has been granted the exclusive license to produce and distribute our proprietary brands Bilz, Pap and Kem. This license agreement had an initial ten-year term commencing November 1994, and is automatically renewable for six additional five-year periods. The license agreement was renewed in 2004.

The license agreement for nectar products with Watt’s, which granted us exclusive production rights, was first signed in June 1987 and originally had a 33-year term. In February 1999, a new license agreement was signed allowing us to produce new flavors and bottle Watt’s nectars in non-returnable packaging (wide mouth glass and plastic bottles). A new license agreement between us and Watt’s was signed in July 2004. This new contract provided us with a ten-year license renewable automatically for three consecutive periods of three years if the conditions set forth in the contract are fulfilled at the date of renewal. In December 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Watt’s, under which we participate in equal parts in Promarca . This new company owns the brands “Watt’s”, “Ice Frut de Watt’s”, “Yogu Yogu” and “Shake a Shake” in Chile. Promarca granted its subsidiaries, for an indefinite period, the exclusive licenses for the production and sale of the different product categories.

On June 14, 2001, ECUSA and Life O2 Beverages LLP entered into an exclusive technology and trademark license agreement for the production, sale and distribution of water products with high concentrations of oxygen. The agreement has an initial term of five years as from June 2001, renewable for one-year periods, unless otherwise stated by any party in writing.

In June 2003, we entered into the purified water business with our proprietary brand Glacier, increasing our water selection and reaching a larger amount of population with a more affordable product. The consumption of this product is currently concentrated in Antofagasta.

In October 2004, we relaunched Nobis, a traditional proprietary soft drink brand, to be used strategically against discount brands.

In February 2005, we launched a new Cachantun product, under the trademark Mas, a sugar free product made of mineral water, calcium and citric flavor, creating a new category of flavored water.

In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with Nestlé Chile S.A. and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A., the latter of which acquired a 20% interest in our subsidiary Aguas CCU, the company that owns the assets through which we develop our bottled water business in Chile. As part of this new association, Aguas CCU produces and sells the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile under a license contract of the same date, with an initial term of five years, renewable for successive periods of five years if certain conditions are met. Nestlé had a call option to increase its ownership in Aguas CCU by an additional 29.9%, which expired on June 5, 2009. On June 4, 2009 ECUSA received the notification from Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. exercising its irrevocable option to buy 29.9% of Aguas CCU equity, within the scope of the association contract. Since the materialization of the sale, ECUSA holds 50.1% of the participation in Aguas CCU. CCU owns directly or indirectly 99.94% of ECUSA’s equity.

Under each license agreement, we have the exclusive right to produce, sell and distribute the respective licensed products in Chile. Generally, under our license agreements, we are required to maintain certain standards of quality with respect to the production of licensed products, to achieve certain levels of marketing and, in certain cases, to fulfill minimum sales requirements. We believe that we are in compliance with the material requirements of all our license agreements.

During 2008, 2009 and 2010, we sold our soft drink and water products in the following packaging formats:

| Carbonated Soft Drinks and Nectars |  | Mineral and Purified Water
Container | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 |  | 2008 | 2009 | 2010

Raw Materials and other supplies. The principal raw materials used in the production of non-alcoholic beverages are water, sugar, flavoring concentrates and in the case of carbonated products, carbon dioxide gas. We generally purchase our sugar requirements from Empresas Iansa S.A., the sole producer of sugar in Chile, and from imports. We purchase flavoring concentrates for our licensed soft drink brands from the respective licensing companies. See “– Our Soft Drinks and Mineral Water Production and Marketing in Chile.” Flavoring concentrates for our proprietary brands are purchased from third party suppliers in Chile and Germany, which manufacture the concentrates under contract with us. We obtain carbon dioxide gas from local suppliers in Chile.

We also require fruit pulp, juices, citric acid, other artificial and natural flavors, and chemical substances. Although water does not represent a major raw material cost, it is nonetheless essential in the production of soft drinks. We obtain all of our water from wells located at our plants and/or from public utilities. The water is treated at facilities located at our plants to remove impurities and adjust the characteristics of the water before it is added in the production process.

We own two mineral water sources in Chile from which the Cachantun and Porvenir brand mineral water products are obtained. These water sources are located in two areas near Santiago: Coinco and Casablanca, respectively. All of our mineral water products are bottled at their respective sources and distributed throughout the country. Purified water is produced with water pumped from our wells located in the plant.

We maintain testing facilities at each of our plants in order to analyze raw materials. Additionally, samples of soft drinks and water are inspected at various stages of production to ensure product quality.

We generally purchase all of the glass bottles used in packaging soft drinks and mineral water from the major supplier in Chile, Cristalerías Chile. Other sources, principally in Argentina, Peru and Colombia, can be used when price and delivery terms are favorable; however, no purchases were made in either of these countries during 2010. While aluminum cans used in packaging of our soft drinks are generally purchased from a local supplier, we manufacture most of our own plastic returnable and non-returnable bottles from imported polyethylene terephthalate resins (“PET”), which we purchase from various suppliers. See “– Our Other Businesses.” We obtain the labels for our soft drinks and water products principally from local suppliers. Crowns are currently imported from Brazil and Mexico.

Prices of principal raw materials used in soft drink production in Chile are tied to the U.S. dollar and have not been volatile, except for PET resins that depend on oil prices as well as market factors, and sugar due to market factors.

We believe that all of the contracts or other agreements between us and third party suppliers with respect to the supply of raw materials for soft drinks and water products contain standard and customary commercial terms and conditions. Without considering the soft drinks concentrates purchased from Schweppes Holdings Ltd. and PepsiCo under the license agreements described under “– Our Soft Drinks and Mineral Water Production and Marketing in Chile”, we believe we are not dependent on any one supplier for a significant portion of our raw materials. Historically, we have experienced no significant difficulties in obtaining adequate supplies of necessary raw materials at satisfactory prices and expect that we will be able to continue to in the future.

Sales, Transportation and Distribution in Chile. We have the capacity to reach 91,097 customers with our direct sales force, as well as through Comercial CCU and Comercial Patagona. ECUSA, our non- alcoholic beverage subsidiary, manages its own sales force that is directly responsible for the exclusive servicing of soft drinks and water clients in all the cities in the center of Chile and Concepción, that is, in the territories not covered by Comercial CCU or Comercial Patagona. The ECUSA sales force of 346 salesmen as of December 2010, directly sells to approximately 57,895 customers. We had no single customer that accounted for more than 2% of our sales by volume, with the exception of four large supermarket chains that represented in the aggregate 24% of our sales by volume. During 2010, the Chilean supermarket industry continued to consolidate, increasing the importance and purchasing power of a few supermarket chains. We do not maintain any long-term contractual arrangements for the sale of soft drinks and/or mineral and purified water with any of our customers.

In October 2005, we launched Comercial CCU, the subsidiary in charge of a single sales force dedicated to selling all of our beverage and sweet snacks products, so as to capture synergies and focus on sales execution. As of 2010, the territory covered by Commercial CCU S.A. has expanded to include the north of Chile from Arica to Copiapó/Vallenar and the south, from Curicó to Coyaique except for the City of Concepción. See Business Overview-Summary-Distribution Network

Our Chilean soft drinks and water customers make payments for our products either in cash at the time of delivery or in accordance with one of our credit arrangements. Payment on credit sales is generally due 32 days from the date of delivery. Credit sales accounted for 43%, 40% and 42% of ECUSA’s soft drink and water sales to third parties in Chile in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Losses on credit sales of soft drinks and mineral water in Chile have not been significant.

We distribute our soft drinks and mineral water products throughout Chile to:

· off-premise retail: small and medium sized retail outlets, which in turn sell to consumers for take-out consumption;

· on-premise retail: retail establishments such as restaurants, hotels and bars for on-premise consumption;

· wholesalers; and

· supermarket chains.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the percentage mix of the above distribution channels for our carbonated soft drinks, nectars, and mineral and purified water products in Chile was as follows:

| Percentage of Total Soft Drinks and
| Water Products Sold
Distribution Channels | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Off-premise retail | 42% | 42% | 41%
On-premise retail | 15% | 15% | 16%
Wholesalers | 11% | 10% | 11%
Supermarkets | 32% | 32% | 33%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

The average price per liter to our customers for non-alcoholic products increased 0.9%, from an average of CLP329.0 in 2009 to CLP332.1 in 2010. For water products, the average price per liter increased from an average of CLP284.0 in 2009 to CLP275.2 in 2010, for nectars the increase was from CLP443.9 in 2009 to CLP442.8 in 2010 and for carbonated soft drinks, it increased from CLP320.3 in 2009 to CLP326.1 in 2010.

Seasonality in Chile. Due to the seasonality of sales for both soft drinks and water products, our sales and production volumes are normally at their lowest in the second and third calendar quarters and at their highest in the first and fourth calendar quarters (i.e., those months corresponding to holidays and summer vacation season in Chile).

The following table shows our annual sales volume of soft drinks and water by quarter for the last three years

Competition in Chile. Our principal competitors in the soft drink business are companies, which produce, bottle and distribute soft drinks in Chile under licenses from TCCC and its affiliates. TCCC’s products are produced, bottled and distributed in Chile through three separate licensees which market soft drinks under the Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Light, Coca-Cola Zero, Fanta, Fanta Light, Sprite, Sprite Zero, Quatro Light, Nordic Mist, Taí, Andina nectars and juices, and Kapo juice brand names. According to store audits conducted by Nielsen, Coca-Cola and related brands accounted for approximately 68% of total carbonated soft drink sales volume in 2010. However, calculations made by us are higher than the Nielsen estimates. During 1998, a few supermarket chains began selling soft drinks products under private labels. Additionally, discount brand producers along with private labels represent approximately 7% of the soft drink market in 2010 according to Nielsen. However, calculations made by us are higher than the Nielsen estimates. Even though these brands are not a significant portion of the industry, they may increase their presence in the future.

After the formation of ECUSA, our market share decreased as a consequence of increasing marketing activity on the part of our competitors and the entrance of private labels and discount brand producers to the market. However, as per Nielsen during 2010, our carbonated soft drink market share increased to approximately 24.3% and CCU’s estimate for the total non-alcoholic beverage market participation was 28.9%.

Our market share for our carbonated soft drink products over the last five years is presented in the following table based on store audits conducted by Nielsen and our own estimates. These Nielsen results are, for each year, higher than our own estimates.

(*) Based on our sales data, publicly available information from competitors, equity research analyst reports, information from Nielsen and ANBER.

Our domestic competitors in the soft drinks business have benefited from both internationally recognized brand labels (especially with regard to the Coca-Cola product line) and a large number of local bottling companies distributing their products throughout Chile. As a result of the formation of ECUSA, we also similarly benefited from the internationally recognized Pepsi brand as well as our previous competitive strengths, which include a portfolio of nationally well known brands and a nationwide distribution system. During 2002, we launched Bilz Light, Pap Light, Agua Tónica Light and Gatorade. In April 2003, we introduced to the market Kem Xtreme, a soft drink with a high level of caffeine. In September 2004, we launched Canada Dry Ginger Ale Light, and in October 2004, we re-launched Nobis, a traditional proprietary soft drink brand, to be used strategically against discount brands. In September 2006, we launched Canada Dry Limón Soda Light. In January 2007, we introduced two new products into the market: (i) Slice by Kem, a tropical fruit flavored soft drink, and (ii) SoBe Adrenaline Rush, an energy drink sold under PepsiCo license. In November 2007, we entered into a new product category, ice tea, with the brand Lipton Ice Tea, produced under the PepsiCo license. During 2008 we introduced Propel from PepsiCo, Watt’s Soya from Promarca (50% owned by us), and Nestlé Pure Life, a well-known purified water brand, in order to place ourselves in a leading position in the healthy foods market. In 2009, the Company introduced Mas Woman from Cachantun, a mineral water in a variety of flavors targeted for young healthy women. In addition, in the same year, the Company began to import the renowned mineral water Perrier.

Given the high percentage of soft drink sales volume in returnable containers coupled with the high cost of transportation to Chile, the market for imported soft drinks in Chile is not significant and accounted for less than 1% of total sales by volume in 2010. While there are no legal barriers to entry, we believe that the existing returnable bottle system and high transportation costs may continue to deter potential competitors from exporting soft drinks to Chile.

Fruit nectars under the trade name “Watt’s”, a segment of our soft drink business, face competition from other liquid and powdered juices, which are provided by a variety of local companies. After six years since the re-launch of Watt’s nectar, we have attained our seventh year as market leader in the bottled category of nectars, with a market share of 57% during 2010, according to Nielsen.

Our main competitor in the mineral water business is Vital S.A. (a subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina S.A., one of TCCC licensees in Chile). We estimate that our sales of Cachantun and Porvenir brand mineral waters accounted for approximately 67%, while those of Vital S.A. products accounted for approximately 27% of total mineral water sales by volume in 2010. Small domestic bottlers, private labels and discount brands, as well as imported mineral water products, comprise the remaining 6% sales volume.

The following chart shows estimates of our mineral water market share for the last five years based on store audits conducted by Nielsen and our own estimates. These Nielsen results are, for each year, higher than our own estimates.

Our Wine Business

Overview. We entered the Chilean wine market in October 1994 with the purchase of 48.4% of VSPT’s equity for approximately CLP17,470 million, thereby acquiring an interest in the third largest winery in Chile (formerly VSP). During the first half of 1995, VSPT’s capital was increased by approximately CLP14,599 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP7,953 million. During August-October 1997, VSPT’s capital was increased again by approximately CLP11,872 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP6,617 million, plus approximately CLP191 million in additional shares bought during October 1997 in the local stock market. Furthermore, in October 1998 and during 1999, we purchased additional shares in VSPT through the local stock exchanges for an amount of approximately CLP5,526 million. During March-June 1999, VSPT’s capital was increased by approximately CLP17,464 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP10,797 million. Between November 2000 and March 2001, VSPT’s capital was increased by approximately CLP22,279 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP13,402 million. During October and November 2005, VSPT’s capital was increased by approximately CLP346 million. We did not participate in this capital increase. Between April and June 2007, VSPT’s capital was increased by approximately CLP13,692 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP5,311 million. On December 3, 2008, the extraordinary shareholders’ meetings of VSP and VT approved the merger of both companies. The merged company was named “Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A.” (VSPT), and started operating on December 9, 2008 but consolidating its financial statements with ours since October 1, 2008. In December 2008, VSPT’s capital was increased, as a consequence of the merge, by issuing 15,987,878,653 shares to be exchanged for the total number of shares issued by Viña Tarapacá at a ratio of 1,480.30828 new VSPT shares per each of the absorbed company. As of December 2010, our total ownership interest in VSPT was 50.01%.

We believe that having entered into the Chilean wine business provided us with the opportunity to further exploit our nationwide distribution system through the expansion of our beverage portfolio. We also believe that the development of our domestic wine business helps to reduce the seasonality of our sales, as wine sales in Chile tend to be stronger during the winter months when beer and soft drinks consumption decline.

The proceeds from VSPT’s capital increase during 1995 were used to reduce debt, expand capacity and add new hectares of vineyards in the Maipo Valley for producing premium red wines. Part of VSPT’s capital increase during 1997 was used to add new hectares of vineyards in Requinoa, Chépica and Molina during 1997, and in Pencahue during 1998. These purchases of land more than doubled the number of hectares of our vineyards. The winery also increased its total vinification and wine storage capacity in both tanks and barrels from 52.1 million liters in December 31, 1998, to 62.1 million liters in December 31, 2007, as well as its peak bottling and packaging capacity from 35,100 liters per hour in 1998 to 67,500 liters per hour in December 31, 2007. As a result of the merger with Viña Tarapacá in December 2008, the vinification and storage capacity grew by approximately 50%, to 52 and 92 million liters, respectively. Likewise, the bottling and packing capacity increased to 75,300 liters an hour in Chile. The capital increase in 1999, was used to pay debts related to the winery’s expansion process. The proceeds from VSPT’s capital increase during November 2000 and March 2001 were used to finance the winery’s acquisition of FLC, in Mendoza, Argentina, to plant the hectares of this new winery and improve its production facilities, as well as to refinance debt. The proceeds from VSPT’s 2007 capital increase were used mainly to acquire shares in Viña Altaïr S.A. and Viña Tabalí S.A. due to respective increases in the capital of both of these entities, to acquire from Château Dassault the remaining interest in Viña Altaïr S.A. and for working capital.

In December 2001, Viña Santa Helena (“VSH”) created its own commercial and productive winemaking operation, distinct from its parent, VSPT, under the Viña Santa Helena label in the Colchagua Valley.

In August 2003, VSPT formed Viña Tabalí S.A., a joint venture in equal parts with Sociedad Agrícola y Ganadera Río Negro Ltda. for the production of premium wines. This winery is located in the Limarí valley, Chile’s northernmost winemaking region, which is noted for the production of outstanding wines. In January 2007, Viña Tabalí S.A. acquired Viña Leyda, a boutique winery located in the Leyda Valley that produces well-regarded quality wines. Consequently, Viña Tabalí S.A. changed its name to Viña Valles de Chile S.A.

In October 2004, VSPT acquired the well-known Manquehuito Pop Wine brand, a sparkling fruit-flavored wine with low alcohol content, broadening its range of products.

In September 2007, VSPT bought a 50% interest in Viña Altaïr S.A. which belonged to Château Dassault, in line with our strategy of focusing on premium wines. As a consequence VSPT owns 100% of said company.

At VSPT’s Extraordinary Shareholders meeting held on July 7, 2005, the shareholders voted to increase the number of board members from 7 to 9 and approved a capital increase that will be partially used for stock option programs.

In December 2008, VSP and VT merged and created a new wine group, VSPT. VSPT is formed by the wineries San Pedro, Tarapacá, Santa Helena, Misiones de Rengo, Altaïr, Viña Mar, Casa Rivas, FLC, Bodega Tamarí, Viña Leyda and Viña Tabalí S.A. These are all important and renowned cellars in Chile and Argentina, each with its own distinctive brands, and they represent the best wines these terrains can deliver. Since the merger, VSPT became the second largest Chilean wine exporter and the third most important actor in the local market.

The Chilean Wine Market. We estimate that wine consumption in Chile amounted to approximately 13 liters per capita in 2010. Given that the Chilean wine industry is fragmented, no single wine producer accounts for the majority of production and/or sales. The leading wineries include, other than VSPT, Viña Concha y Toro S.A. (“Concha y Toro”), Viña Santa Rita S.A. (“Santa Rita”) and Bodegas y Viñedos Santa Carolina S.A. (“Santa Carolina”). In addition, there are numerous medium-sized wineries, including Viña Undurraga S.A. (“Undurraga”), Cousiño Macul S.A. (“Cousiño Macul”), and Viña Cánepa y Cía. (“Cánepa”) and Viña Montes. All wineries, which sell wine products that comply with industry and tax regulations, make up Chile’s formal wine market. VSPT is a member of the formal wine market, as are most other principal wineries in Chile. The Agricultural and Livestock Service (Servicio Agrícola Ganadero, or “SAG”) is the entity in charge of wine industry regulation and principally oversees inventory records and product quality. We estimate that the formal market wineries produced and sold approximately 230 million liters of wine during 2010.

The following chart shows our estimates for the formal wine market and per capita consumption levels for wine in Chile for the last five years:

Year | Total Volume (1) | Per Capita (2)
| (millions of liters) | (liters)

Wines in Chile can be segmented by product type. Chilean wineries produce and sell premium, varietals and popular-priced wines within the domestic market. Premium wines and many of the varietal wines are produced from high quality grapes, aged and packaged in glass bottles. Popular-priced wines are usually produced using non-varietal grapes and are not aged. These products are generally sold in either cartons or jug packaging.

VSPT’s Production and Marketing. VSPT (formerly VSP) was founded in 1865. Its principal vineyards are located in Molina, approximately 200 kilometers south of Santiago. The VSPT estate in Molina is one of the largest single-site vineyards in Chile with an area of 1,200 hectares. As of December 31, 2010, VSPT’s vineyards covered an aggregate of 3,663 hectares in Chile, distributed among eleven different plantations. The winery also has 495 hectares under long-term lease. In Argentina, we have another 532 hectares located in the province of Mendoza.

VSPT is one of Chile’s largest producers and distributors of wine in terms of sales volume and net sales. In 2009 and 2010 our wine segment sales amounted to CLP124,726 million and CLP132,293 million, respectively, representing 16.1% and 15.8% of our total net sales, respectively.

The following chart indicates the breakdown of VSPT’s volume in the domestic and export markets, including sales from FLC and Tamarí in Argentina:

Year | Domestic Volume | Export Volume | Total Volume (1)
| (million liters) | (million liters) | (million liters)
2006 | 47.5 | 46.7 | 94.2
2007 | 50.2 | 55.5 | 105.8
2008 | 50.7 | 50.3 | 101.0
2009 | 54.2 | 67.8 | 122.0
2010 | 60.0 | 70.0 | 130.0

(1) Includes bulk sales exports in Chile and Argentina

We estimate that VSPT’s share by volume of Chile’s formal wine market was approximately 21% in 2008, 23% in 2009 and 24% in 2010. According to the Wineries of Chile Association, VSPT’s share of Chile’s total wine export sales by volume was 10% in 2008, and 12% in 2009, and 12% in 2010.

VSPT, VSH, Viña Altair, Viña Mar, Viña Misiones de Rengo, Bodega Tamarí and FLC, produce and market premium, varietal and popular-priced wines as set forth below:

Domestic Market. Our Chilean domestic wine is packaged in bottles, jugs, cartons, and bag-in-box containers at VSPT’s production facilities in Lontué, Molina and Isla de Maipo. The following chart shows our packaging mix for domestic wine sales for the last three years:

| Percentage of Total Domestic
| Wine Sold in Chile
Container | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Carton | 76% | 67% | 68%
Jug | 0% | 0% | 0%
Glass Bottles | 23% | 33% | 32%
Bag-in-Box | 0% | 0% | 0%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

Beer is the principal substitute product for wine in Chile. In addition, our wine products may also compete with other alcoholic beverages, such as spirits (mainly pisco), and with non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks and juices.

The average price for our domestic wine customers was CLP678.1 and CLP758.5 per liter in 2009 and 2010, respectively, experiencing a growth of 11.9%. Our wine price policy is mainly determined as a consequence of four factors: a) market prices, b) change in sales mix, c) inflation rate and d) desired profit margin in relation to costs of raw materials.

Export Market. According to industry sources, exports of Chilean wine increased from approximately 43 million liters in 1990 to 733 million liters in 2010, at a compounded annual growth rate of 15.2%. During 2009 and 2010, Chilean wine exports reached 694 million liters and 733 million liters, respectively. The 5.7% volume increase from 2009 to 2010 was due to the better quality-to-price ratio of the Chilean wine. We believe that Chilean wine exports have grown steadily due to their comparatively low prices and positive international image, as well as due to external factors, such as low wine production in the Northern Hemisphere in certain years.

VSPT exported 50.3 million liters, 67.8 million liters and 70.0 million liters of wine in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. During 2010, VSPT exported wine to more than 80 countries worldwide. Exports accounted for net sales of CLP84,272 million and CLP86,505 million in 2009 and 2010, respectively. In 2010, VSPT’s primary export markets included The United States, Finland, Brazil, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Sweden.

Most exported wine is sold in glass bottles, except for a certain quantity of unbranded wine that is occasionally sold in bulk and the amount that is sold in bag-in-box containers. The following chart shows our packaging mix for export Chilean wine volume in the last three years:

| Percentage of Total Export
| Wine Volume from Chile
Container | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Glass Bottles (1) | 69% | 72% | 77%
Bulk | 15% | 17% | 12%

Table of Contents

We experienced a decrease of 7.2% from CLP1,380.1 in 2009 to CLP1,280.8 per liter in 2010 in the average price to our Chilean export wine customers mainly due to a stronger Chilean peso as compared to the exports destination countries’ currencies, given that the U.S. dollar export average price increased.

Raw Materials and other supplies. The principal raw materials and packaging materials that VSPT uses in its production process are purchased and harvested grapes, purchased wine, bottles, carton containers, corks and cardboard boxes. VSPT obtained approximately 50% of the grapes used for export wines from its own vineyards during 2010. Of the wine sold in the domestic market, 5% are grapes from our vineyards, 10% of grapes are purchased and vinified for us and the rest is purchased from third parties, tested to assure compliance with our quality standards and blended at the winery before packaging. In 2010, approximately 60% of the wine used in domestic sales was purchased from ten local producers: Corretajes Vinicola Patacon SPA, CPCh, Agro Comercial Metropolitana Ltda., Torres y Cía. Ltda., RR Wine LTDA, Viña Saavedra Ltda., Viñedos Errázuriz Ovalle S.A, Aguilera y Barrios Ltda., Vinícola Los Cerrillos y Cia Ltda., and Coop. Vitiv. Loncomilla Ltda. VSPT has various alternative sources of supply, which can be used when they are attractive. VSPT’s bottles are principally purchased from Cristalerías Chile and Saint Gobain; however, when prices have been favorable, VSPT has purchased bottles from other local and international suppliers. Carton containers are purchased either from Tetra Pak de Chile Comercial Ltda. or from SIG Combibloc Inc. and are assembled in VSPT’s own automated packing lines.

The prices of the principal raw materials used in the production of wine in Chile have experienced some recent volatility. In addition, from time to time, prices of grapes and wine can vary depending on fluctuations in demand and supply factors.

Domestic Sales, Transportation and Distribution. After production, bottling, and packaging, wine is either stored at the production facilities or transported to one of the 21 warehouses. The warehouses are part of our warehouse network and are located throughout Chile. VSPT wines is distributed and sold in Chile through our sales and distribution network, under the same system and payment terms as all our other products (beer in Chile, non-alcoholic beverages, spirits and sweet snacks).See Business Overview-Summary-Distribution Network

We distribute our wine products throughout Chile, in the territories not covered by Comercial CCU or Comercial Patagona, with our own sales force, to:

· off-premise retail: small and medium sized retail outlets, which in turn sell wine to consumers for take-out consumption;

· on-premise retail: retail establishments such as restaurants, hotels and bars for on-premise consumption;

· wholesalers; and

· supermarket chains.

For the last three years, the percentage mix of the above distribution channels for our wine products in Chile was as follows:

| Percentage of Total Wine Products Sold
Distribution Channels | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Off-premise retail | 26% | 27% | 26%
On-premise retail | 4% | 5% | 6%
Wholesalers | 32% | 28% | 29%
Supermarkets | 38% | 40% | 38%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

VSPT sales force of 128 salesmen as of December 2010, sells our wine products directly to approximately 6,716 customers, none of which accounted for more than 2% of our total wine sales by volume, with the exception of three supermarket chains that represented 24%. We do not maintain any long-term contractual arrangements for the sale of wine with any of our customers.

Export Sales, Transportation and Distribution. VSPT has a presence in more than 80 countries. In order to increase its presence in the market, VSPT has distribution agreements with key distributors, such as Pernod Ricard in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Estonia, Shaw Ross International in the U.S., a subsidiary of Southern Wine and Spirits, a major wholesale distributor that has been recognized as the best U.S. distributor by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, DGS and Baarsma in Holland and Denner in Switzerland. In Canada we have distribution agreements with Diamonds Wines, in Korea with Keumyang, as well as other distributors. In France and Germany VSPT has distribution agreements with LGCF and with Direct Wines in the United Kingdom.

Geographical Markets. In Chile, Santiago and surrounding areas (referred to as the Metropolitan Region), which account for approximately 40% of the Chilean population, represented approximately 38% of total domestic sales of VSPT products by volume in 2010.

The following table provides the distribution of VSPT’s exports from Chile during 2010 by geographical markets:

Market | Volume (1) |  | Total Exports
| (thousands of liters) |  |
Europe | 26,039 |  | 46%
Latin America | 15,077 |  | 27%
USA and Canada | 9,910 |  | 18%
Others | 5,219 |  | 9%
Total | 56,245 |  | 100%

(1) Excludes bulk exports.

Competition. The wine industry is highly competitive in both the domestic and the export markets. VSPT’s domestic market share was approximately 24% in 2010. In Chile, VSPT competes directly against all other Chilean wineries. We believe that VSPT’s primary domestic competitors, Concha y Toro and Santa Rita, derive their relative competitive strengths from their wide portfolio of products, well recognized brand names and established distribution networks. In 2010, Concha y Toro and Santa Rita had a market share of approximately 31% and 29%, respectively. VSPT also competes with Santa Carolina and numerous medium-sized wineries, including Undurraga and Cousiño Macul, and many small wine producers that make up Chile’s “informal market.”

Internationally, VSPT competes against Chilean producers as well as with wine producers from other parts of the world. According to information compiled by the Wineries of Chile Association, VSPT is the second largest exporter of Chilean wines with a market share of approximately 12% in 2010, excluding bulk wine. Our other principal Chilean competitors, namely Concha y Toro, Santa Rita and Santa Carolina had market shares of 37%, 5% and 4%, respectively.

Our Spirits Business

Overview. In February 2003, we added a new product to our beverage portfolio, pisco, which began selling under the brand Ruta Norte, and was produced by our subsidiary Pisconor S.A. Pisco is a distilled wine spirit, very popular in Chile, produced exclusively in Chile’s third and fourth regions and in the southern regions of Peru.

In March 2005, we entered into an association agreement with the second largest pisco producer in Chile, Control. A new entity, CPCh, was created, after Pisconor and Control contributed their assets and commercial brands. Currently we own 80% of CPCh and Control owns the remaining 20%.

Table of Contents

In May 2007, CPCh entered the rum category, the second most consumed spirit in Chile and the then fastest growing spirit category. The alcohol to produce the rum is imported and we finish the production process locally. We sell rum under our proprietary brand “Sierra Morena”.

During 2008, the Company added several pisco and pisco based cocktail brands as well as new varieties of its rum brand to its portfolio.

The Chilean Pisco and Rum Markets. Traditionally, beer, wine and pisco have been the principal alcoholic beverages consumed in Chile. We estimate that annual pisco consumption in Chile was 35 million liters, or approximately 2.1 liters per capita in 2010. In addition, we estimate that annual rum consumption in Chile was 24 million liters, or approximately 1.4 liter per capita during 2010.

The table below sets forth our estimates of pisco and rum consumption in Chile during each of the last five years:

Year | Total Pisco Sales Volume (1) (in millions of liters) | Pisco per Capita (2) (liters) | Total Rum Sales Volume (1) (in millions of liters) | Rum per Capita (2) (liters)
2006 | 42 | 2.6 | 9 | 0.5
2007 | 41 | 2.4 | 12 | 0.7
2008 | 38 | 2.3 | 16 | 1.0
2009 | 36 | 2.1 | 17 | 1.0
2010 | 36 | 2.1 | 24 | 1.4

(1) Based on our sales data and information from Nielsen. Includes FAB in the case of pisco (2) Population estimated in accordance with Chile’s national census of April 2002.

We estimate that total pisco consumption in Chile decreased at a four-year compounded annual growth rate of 4.0% between 2006 and 2010. During 2010, the pisco market remained substantially flat, increasing by only 0.2%. We estimate that total rum consumption in Chile increased at a four-year compounded annual growth rate of 29.2% between 2006 and 2010. During 2010, the rum market increased 42.7% from the prior year, as a result of higher preference from consumers and lower prices of imported liquors due to a stronger Chilean peso.

Wholesale and retail prices of pisco are not regulated in Chile. Wholesale prices are subject to negotiation between the producer and the purchaser. Retailers establish the final consumer price. We believe that the key factors determining retailer prices include national and/or local price promotions offered by the producer, the nature of product consumption (on-premise or take-out), the applicable tax structure, the desired profit margins and the geographical location of the retailer.

Spirits Production and Marketing in Chile. Our production of spirits in Chile generated net sales of CLP38,830 million and CLP43,218 million representing 5.0% and 5.2% of our total net sales in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The increase experienced in 2010 is mainly due to the introduction of more premium beverages producing a higher value sales mix.

We produce and market ultra-premium, premium, medium-priced and popular-priced pisco brands in Chile, as well as premium and medium-priced rum. The following table shows our principal pisco brands:

Ultra premium | Premium | Medium-priced | Medium-priced | Popular-priced

After the completion of the CPCh transaction with Control, we expanded our proprietary brands portfolio considerably, adding brands as Campanario in the mainstream and cocktail categories (accounting for 45% of our pisco sales), as well as Control C, Mistral Nobel and Tres Erres in the ultra-premium segment, Mistral in the premium segment and La Serena in the convenience category.

In the rum market, our proprietary brands are Cabo Viejo in standard-priced segment, Sierra Morena Añejado in the medium-priced segment, Sierra Morena Extra Añejado in the premium segment and Sierra Morena Imperial in the ultra-premium segment.

In 2010, our spirits were produced at four plants which are located in the III and IV Regions of Chile. The bottling process was done in the Ovalle plant bottling facility. Horcón Quemado and Fehrenberg are produced and bottled in a third-party plant.

Raw Materials and other supplies. The principal raw and packaging materials used in our production of pisco and rum are purchased grapes, purchased wine, cane alcohol, bottles, caps and cardboard boxes. Grapes are purchased under long-term contracts with members of Control. Nevertheless, various alternative sources of supply can be used when they are attractive. Cane alcohol is imported from Venezuela and Peru. We principally purchase bottles from Cristalerías Chile and Cristalerías Toro S.A.I.C.

The price of the principal raw materials used in pisco and rum production in Chile have not been subject to volatility during the years covered by this report. However, from time to time, the price of grapes, wine and alcohol may fluctuate depending on demand and supply factors.

We believe that all of the contracts or other agreements between us and third party suppliers, with respect to the supply of raw materials for pisco and rum products, contain standard and customary commercial terms and conditions. We do not believe we are dependent on any one supplier for a significant portion of our important raw materials. During the past years, we have not experienced any material difficulties in obtaining adequate supplies of necessary raw materials at satisfactory prices, nor do we expect to in the future.

All of our spirits are bottled in non-returnable glass bottles at our production facilities. We obtain all of our glass bottles from third-party suppliers.

Sales, Transportation and Distribution. We have the capacity to reach 20,051 customers either directly through our dedicated sales force or through Comercial CCU’s sales force. As of December 31, 2010, our dedicated sales force of 92 salesmen served 9,260 customers in the territories where Comercial CCU and/or Comercial Patagona do not operate. This system enables us to maintain frequent contact with our customers, obtain more timely and accurate marketing-related information and maintain good working relationships with our retail customers. See “– Business Overview-Summary-Distribution Network”. None of our customers accounted for more than 3% of our total spirits sales by volume, with the exception of seven large supermarket chains that represented in the aggregate 30% of total spirits sales. During 2010, the Chilean supermarket industry continued to consolidate, increasing the importance and purchasing power of a few supermarket chains. We do not maintain any long-term contractual arrangements for the sale of spirits with any of our customers in Chile.

Table of Contents

Since 2003, after production, bottling and packaging, our spirits are either stored at one of our production facilities or transported to a network of 21 warehouses which are located throughout Chile and are either owned or leased by us. These warehouses are part of CCU’s sales and distribution system.

Our customers make payment for our products either in cash at the time of delivery or in accordance with one of various credit arrangements. Payment on credit sales for spirits is generally due 54 days from the date of delivery. Credit sales accounted for 55% of our spirits sales in Chile in 2010. Losses on credit sales of spirits in Chile have not been significant.

We distribute our spirits throughout Chile to:

· supermarket chains,

· off-premise retail: small and medium sized retail outlets, which in turn sell spirits to consumers for take-out consumption;

· on-premise retail: retail establishments such as restaurants, hotels and bars for on-premise consumption; and

· wholesalers.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the percentage of spirits sales attributable to each of these distribution channels in Chile was as follows:

Percentage of Total Spirits Sold
Distribution Channels | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Supermarkets | 44% | 40% | 41%
Off-premise retail | 27% | 31% | 28%
On-premise retail | 6% | 7% | 7%
Wholesalers | 23% | 22% | 24%
Total | 100% | 100% | 100%

The following table sets forth our pisco sales volume in Chile, by category, during each of the last three years:

Category | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
| (in millions of liters)
Ultra premium | 0.2 | 0.2 | 0.3
Premium | 5.6 | 5.8 | 6.6
Medium-priced | 3.3 | 2.9 | 2.6
Medium-priced mix (1) | 7.7 | 6.9 | 6.3
Popular-priced | 1.3 | 1.2 | 1.2
Total | 18.1 | 17.1 | 16.9

(1) Sours and Cream cocktails

The average price for our spirits in Chile increased 1.2%, from CLP1,890.8 per liter in 2009 to CLP1,912.7 per liter in 2010.

Geographical Markets. Santiago and the surrounding areas (referred to as the Metropolitan Region) account for approximately 40% of the population of Chile and accounted for approximately 41.3% of our spirits sales by volume in 2010.

Competition. According to Nielsen figures, our estimated share of the Chilean pisco market, over the last four years is as follows:

47

Table of Contents

Year | Our Chilean Market Share for Pisco
2006 | 45%
2007 | 46%
2008 2009 | 45% 45%
2010 | 47%

Our principal competitor in the pisco business is Cooperativa Agrícola Pisquera Elqui Ltda. (“Capel"), which is the market leader. According to Nielsen numbers, we had 46.6% market share in 2010, although our internal estimate is somewhat higher (49.7%).

Our competitor Capel has nine production facilities located in the III and IV Regions of Chile and distributes its products throughout the country. Capel uses its own sales force, as well as third party distributors. We estimate that the sales of Capel’s brands of pisco by volume accounted for approximately 54% of total pisco sales in 2008, 53% in 2009 and 50% in 2010, according to Nielsen figures. We estimate that Capel had an annual production capacity of approximately 50 million liters of pisco which represents more than twice of our annual nominal production capacity.

Pisco is a spirit that is produced only in the northern part of Chile and the southern part of Peru. For this reason, imported pisco is not a significant component of the Chilean pisco market. We estimate that imports accounted for less than 1% of total pisco sales by volume during 2010.

According to Nielsen calculations, our estimated average share of the Chilean rum market was 15.1% in 2010 and 13% in 2009 and 2008. Our principal competitors in the rum business are Mitjans S.A. and certain imported brands such as Pampero, Bacardi and Barceló.

Our Other Businesses

Plastic Bottles

Through our subsidiary Fábrica de Envases Plásticos S.A. (“PLASCO”), we own and operate a plastic bottle factory which supplies most of the returnable and non-returnable plastic bottles primarily used by us in the packaging of our soft drinks and water products. In 2009, PLASCO began to produce plastic caps.

The manufacturing of both returnable and non-returnable plastic bottles involves a two-step process. The first step consists of an injection molding process, which manufactures pre-forms from PET resin. The second step involves blowing plastic bottles from the molded pre-forms. We purchase resin and complete the two-step process in order to fulfill the majority of our bottling requirements. In some cases, we purchase pre-forms manufactured by third party suppliers and complete only the bottle-blowing step at our own facilities.

The manufacturing of plastic caps also involves a two-step process. The first step consists of a compress molding process, which manufactures caps from PP resin. The second step consists in the decoration of the plastic caps with an off set printing process.

Prices of principle raw materials required by our PLASCO subsidiary have not been volatile during 2010.

In 2010, all pre-forms, returnable and non-returnable plastic bottle needs of ECUSA were supplied directly by PLASCO with the exception of five-liter bottles, which are bought by ECUSA in small quantities from third party suppliers. During 2010, PLASCO sold 295.1 million bottles and 98.0 million pre-forms. Of all bottles supplied by PLASCO, approximately 93% of the pre-forms were manufactured and blown into bottles by PLASCO. All the pre-forms sold were manufactured by PLASCO and later blown into bottles by Aguas CCU. The remaining bottles and pre-forms were bought by PLASCO and then transferred to ECUSA. PLASCO has, to date, not sold any bottles to third parties. Plastic bottle and pre-form sales by volume increased from 362.2 millions in 2009 to 393.1 millions in 2010. During 2010, PLASCO sold 240 millions of plastic caps.

Table of Contents

PLASCO’s net sales of CLP27,745 million, operating income of CLP2,258 million and net income of CLP1.798 million in 2010, represented an increase of 8.62 % and 13.1%, and an decrease of 21.2 %, respectively, over 2009.

Sweet Snacks

In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between our subsidiary ECUSA (currently, this investment belongs to our subsidiary CCU Inversiones S.A.) and Empresas Lucchetti S.A. (currently, Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A.), a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Calaf S.A. (today, Foods), a corporation that acquired the trademarks, assets and know-how, among other things, of Calaf S.A.I.C. and Francisca Calaf S.A., traditional Chilean candy makers, renowned for more than a century. In August 2005, Calaf acquired the assets and know-how of Bortolaso S.A., a cookie factory with more than 50 years of existence in the country, enabling Calaf to increase its presence in the most important segment of the sweet snacks business. In October 2007, Calaf acquired the traditional cereal brand Natur, allowing Calaf to enter and commence growing in the quickly developing healthy foods category. In August 2008, Foods bought 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A. the leading company in home-made sweet snacks products. The three brands –Calaf, Natur and Nutrabien– have niche products aimed at specific market segments. This niche segmentation along with enhancement in formula and raw materials, is expected to improve the company’s brand equity. We sell Foods’ products through CCU’s sales platform to 34,227 clients, with the potential to reach more than 116,792 clients and with a dedicated sales force that serves the supermarket chains.

Government Regulation

Government Regulation in Chile

We are subject to the full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile. These regulations include labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection, environmental laws, securities laws, and anti-trust laws. In addition, regulations exist to ensure healthy and safe conditions in facilities for the production, bottling, and distribution of beverages. As for environmental laws, see “– Environmental Matters.”

Regulations specifically concerning the production and distribution of “alcoholic beverages” are contained in Chilean Law N°18.455 and its Ordinance, which set the standards for human consumption of such beverages, by minutely describing the different types of alcohol; the minimum requirements that must be met by each class of beverage; raw materials and additives that may be used in their manufacture; their packaging and the information that must be provided by their labels; the procedure for their importation, among others.

Additional regulations concerning wine origin denominations are contained in Executive Decree N° 464 of the Ministry of Agriculture, dated December 14, 1994, which also laid out the wine-growing regions and set rules regarding grape varieties, vintage year, labeling and selling requirements. Pisco origin denominations, also applicable to us, are regulated in Executive Decree N° 521 dated May 27, 2000 of the Ministry of Agriculture and likewise contains provisions relating to pisco producing regions, raw material standards, manufacturing procedures, packaging and labeling.

The large-scale production of alcoholic beverages does not need any licenses or permits other than those required for the general run of commercial and industrial enterprises engaged in the manufacture of consumer commodities.

On January 19, 2004 Law N°19.925 was published, which amended and restated the Act on Sale and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages (former Law N°17.105).

All establishments dealing in alcoholic beverages, whether wholesale or retail, require a special municipal license, the cost of which is fixed by the law and varies according to the nature of the outlet or point of sale (i.e. liquor store, tavern, restaurant, hotel, warehouse, etc.). We are in possession of all licenses necessary for our wholesale operations.

49

Table of Contents

Law N°19.925 set new opening and closing hours; limited geographical areas for the sale of alcohol; reduced the maximum number of licenses to be granted by zones and population; increased criminal liability for selling alcohol to persons under eighteen years of age; and tightened the restrictions, imposing prison sentences and higher fines, for violations formerly deemed lighter. One of its most important innovations is to forbid the sale of alcohol to minors at all outlets, and not just for on-premise drinking (the only exception retained is the case of children who are served meals when accompanied by their parents).

The regulatory agency for alcoholic beverages is the SAG.

The production, bottling and marketing of non-alcoholic beverages is subject to applicable sanitary legislation and regulations, particularly the Sanitary Code and the Food Ordinance (the Reglamento Sanitario de los Alimentos).

Law N°19.937 which was enacted in February 2004, established a new structure and powers for the Sanitary Authority, became effective on January 1, 2005 and was fully operative by February 2006. The Servicios de Salud (“Health Services”) was replaced by the Ministry of Health’s Regional Offices, which constitute the new Sanitary Authorities, which inspected plants on a regular basis, taking samples for analysis, directing the adoption of new safety procedures and applying fines and other penalties for infringement of regulations.

The production and distribution of mineral water is also subject to special regulation. Mineral water may only be bottled directly from sources, which have been designated for such purpose by a Supreme Decree signed by the President of Chile. The competent Sanitary Authority provides a certification of the data necessary to achieve such a designation. All of our facilities have received the required designation.

Independently of the products manufactured or services provided in each plant or facility, the premises are also regularly inspected by the Sanitary Authorities, regarding sanitary and environmental conditions, labor safety, and related matters.

There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Chile with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our businesses in Chile.

##### Government Regulation in Argentina

We are subject to the full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Argentina, including social security laws, public health, consumer protection and environmental laws, securities laws and anti-trust laws.

National Law N°18,284 (the Argentine Food Code, or the “Code”) regulates the manufacturing and packaging of food and beverages. The Code provides specific standards with which manufacturing plants must comply and regulates the production of food and beverages mentioned in the Code. The Code also specifies the different methods in which beer may be bottled as well as the information to be provided on labels. The health authorities of each province undertake the enforcement of the Code, and also establish the minimum age requirements for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. In general, no sale of alcoholic beverages is permitted to persons under 18 years of age. In the Federal Capital and many provinces of Argentina, local law restricts the sale of alcoholic beverages, particularly between the hours of 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., and establishes harsh penalties for infringement. The Argentine Congress continues to consider proposed legislation to improve enforcement of drinking laws by establishing a minimum drinking age of 18 by federal law and limiting the hours permitted for the advertisement of alcohol products on radio and television as well as any content in such advertisement associating alcohol consumption with healthy activities.

There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Argentina with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our business in Argentina.

We are controlled by IRSA, which owns directly and indirectly 66.1% of the shares of our common stock. IRSA, since 1986, was a joint venture between Quiñenco and the Schörghuber Group through its wholly owed subsidiary FHI of the Netherlands. On April 2003, the Schörghuber Group sold FHI to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. FHI and Heineken International B.V. formed Heineken Chile Ltda., through which 50% of IRSA shares are held. On December 30, 2003, FHI merged into Heineken Americas B.V. Currently, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda., a Chilean limited corporation controlled by Heineken Americas B.V., are the only shareholders of IRSA, each with a 50% equity interest.

Quiñenco is the holding company of one of Chile’s largest business conglomerates, with investments in various sectors of the Chilean economy. Quiñenco’s principal holdings include Banco de Chile (one of the largest and most respected banks in Chile) and Madeco S.A. (a leading manufacturer of flexible packaging, copper and aluminum-based products in Chile, Argentina and Peru).

Heineken, the Dutch brewer, is one of the largest brewers in the world with 140 breweries in more than 70 countries and 65,730 employees worldwide. Heineken group beer volume was 146 million hectoliters during 2010, the main brands being Heineken and Amstel.

(1) Based on the year ended December 31, 2010. Utilized Capacity During Peak Month is equal to production output as a percentage of Nominal Installed Production Capacity during our peak month for each respective plant. Nominal Installed Monthly Production defined as production capacity for current product/packaging mix within 25 days per month and 3 shifts per day. The implicit slack (spare) capacity does not necessarily measure real slack capacity. We believe that real production capacity is less than the nominal installed production capacity as adjustments are required for real machinery performance, packaging mix, availability of raw materials and bottles, seasonality within the months and other factors. As a result, we believe that the peak monthly capacity utilization rates shown above understate real capacity utilization and that slack capacity is overstated. We estimate that during the peak month in 2010, the real slack capacity amounted to approximately 6.5 million liters in Chilean beer, 4.8 million liters in Argentine beer, 17.3 million liters in soft drinks , 10.6 million liters in purified water and 17.2 million liters in Chilean mineral water.
(2) Average Utilized Capacity during 2010 equals the plant’s total production output as a percentage of nominal installed annual production capacity in 2010. Nominal installed annual production capacity is calculated by multiplying the Nominal Installed Monthly Production Capacity by 11 months (on average, a one month period is required each year for maintenance and repairs). Given the seasonal nature of our beer production and sales, these figures underestimate capacity utilization during peak months.
(3) Facility size equals total built area including warehousing logistics activities.

Environmental Matters

Chile

Our operations are subject to both national and local regulations in Chile relating to the protection of the environment. Regarding human health, the fundamental law in Chile is the Health Code, which establishes minimum health standards and regulates air and water quality, as well as sanitary landfills. The local Sanitary Authority is the governmental entity in charge of the enforcement of these rules and has the faculty to impose fines.

The environmental framework is given by Law N°19,300, enacted in 1994, as amended, which includes not only environmental protection rules but also ones concerning the preservation of natural resources. Among other matters, it creates the environmental impact assessment system which requires any future project or major amendment of an existing activity that may affect the environment to evaluate the possible impacts, in order to fulfill related regulations and to implement mitigation, compensation and restoration measures. Our latest projects have been successfully submitted to this system, where the environmental national public entity, the National Environmental Commission (or Comision Nacional del Medio Ambiente, or “CONAMA”), has given the respective authorizations.

The Law N°19,300 also creates a mechanism of point sources emission limits and environmental quality standards that are developed and detailed by specific regulations. In this sense, there is a special regulation for wastewater discharges into sewage system, and another regulation for wastewater discharges into superficial water bodies, in both cases pursuant to a schedule of deadlines. Over the years, CCU implemented specific action plans in each operation, optimizing those emissions and, based on the location and wastewater quality, invested in highly efficient treatment plants. Such plants are also designed to generate boiler-suitable biogas. In all material respects, we are in compliance with the Act and the regulations, having fulfilled at each relevant stage all requirements prescribed by them.

Through the enactment of Law N°20,417 in 2010, which amends Law N°19,300, the Ministry of Environment has established itself as the new government body responsible for the development and implementation of various instruments for environmental management in relation to standards, protection of natural resources, environmental education and pollution control, among other things, gradually replacing the CONAMA.

Due to the high levels of air pollution in the Santiago metropolitan area, the Authorities have implemented a decontamination plan, which includes different levels of air quality, and certain measures that can be imposed to industries. In case of emergency situations, those companies comprising the industries classified as producing the highest emissions of particle and gas emissions must suspend their activities. In all material respects, we comply with current regulations applicable to both our beer and soft drink facilities in the Santiago metropolitan area.

There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Chile with respect to any environmental matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental regulations.

##### Argentina

New laws and regulations are being enacted in Argentina as a result of heightened community concerns for environmental issues. As a consequence, there are several statutes imposing obligations on companies regarding environmental matters at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. On many occasions, private entities operating public utilities such as water supply and sewage, are in charge of controlling and enforcing those regulations. Many of these regulations have been recently enacted and little precedent exists as to their scope. All three of CCU’s breweries have been awarded the Certificado de Aptitud Ambiental (Environmental Aptitude Certificate) which is the main document endorsing the companies environmental management in each provincial state.

54

Table of Contents

In addition, according to CCU policy and environmental targets, CCU has obtained the ISO 14001:2004 certification for the Luján Plant, and established a plan to obtain the same certification for the Santa Fé Plant during 2011. Further, CCU is committed to obtaining the EcoSello certification for the Salta Plant in 2012.

The most important environmental statute in Argentina is the Hazardous Waste Act (Law N°24,051) which, although a federal law, has been strictly adhered to by fourteen of the twenty-three provinces. When certain federal tests indicate the need, the provisions of the Hazardous Waste Act are enforced. The application of the provisions of the Hazardous Waste Act depends upon the magnitude of the public health risk and whether those conditions exist in more than one province. Hazardous waste is defined so as to cover any residue that may cause harm, directly or indirectly, to human beings that may pollute the soil, water, atmosphere or the environment in general. Generally, claims involving hazardous waste give rise to strict liability in the event of damage to third parties. In addition, each province in which we operate facilities has enacted environmental legislation with broad and generic goals, as well as water codes and related agencies to regulate the use of water and the disposal of effluents in the water.

Over the last several years CCU Argentina has implemented a complete program for the treatment of its industrial waste, which involves the separation, collection, and reusing of the generated solid waste as well as a wastewater treatment plant. The waste program is part of our constant effort to improve environment-related conditions. The main features of the plant are its productions of biogas which is used as boiler fuel, its minimum space requirements and its low electric power consumption.

The regulation of matters related to the protection of the environment is not as well developed in Argentina as in the United States and certain other countries. Accordingly, we anticipate that additional laws and regulations will be enacted over time with respect to environmental matters. While we believe that we will continue to be in compliance with all applicable environmental regulation, we cannot assure you that future legislative or regulatory developments will not impose restrictions on us, which could result in material adverse effects.

By implementing the world class manufacturing program, Optimazición de la Cadena de Abastecimiento (“OCA”), the manufacturing facilities of CCU Argentina have started implementing improvement programs aimed at reducing their water and electrical power consumption – a milestone that will benefit environmental management.

Finally, the CCU Quality and Environment Corporate Management [group] has informed CCU Argentina about the need to study the effects of greenhouse gases through a carbon footprint survey, as part of its commitment to environmental management.

### ITEM 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

Overview

We are a diversified beverage company operating principally in Chile and Argentina. We are the largest brewery in Chile, the second largest brewery in Argentina, the third largest soft drinks producer in Chile, the largest mineral water and bottled nectar producer in Chile, the second largest purified water producer, the third largest wine player in Chile, the second largest Chilean wine exporter, the second largest pisco producer in Chile and the third largest participant in the rum industry in Chile. We also participate in the sweet snacks industry in Chile. Our beer and soft drink products include a wide range of proprietary, licensed and imported brands.

We face certain key challenges and risks associated with our business. These risks include competition within the market place, managing operating costs and the integration and expansion of new products. We currently have approximately 83% of the Chilean beer market; however, competitors are investing in this market and launching new products, therefore, we must concentrate on competitive pricing and marketing strategies to maintain our market share. Operating costs are subject to variations depending on plant efficiency, product mix and production cycles, and also on US$ commodities prices and the rate of exchange from Chilean pesos to US$ or Euro. Our main costs include cost of raw and packaging materials, distribution and marketing costs. We continue to sell and deliver new products to our customers, including products through new licensing agreements and new products through internal development.

The analysis of our results is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the (IASB. Since we adopted IFRS in 2009, only the three most recent years are considered in the discussion.

In 2010, we reached new historical records in sales volumes, net sales revenues and operating income, obtaining an operating income of CLP162,049 million. We had consolidated net sales of CLP838,258 million, of which 34.4% was accounted for by our beer sales in Chile, 18.7% by our beer sales in Argentina, 26.7% by our non-alcoholic beverages sales in Chile, 15.8% by wine sales, 5.2% by spirits sales and the remainder by sales of other products and/or consolidation eliminations. Our net sales revenues increased 7.9% over the prior year as we increased sales of existing products and had a higher average price per product. Operating results increased 18.0% as a result of a combination of higher gross profit partially compensated by higher expenses and the non-recurring profit generated by the sale of a property in Perú. The net profit attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company decreased 13.5% mainly due to the absence of a 2009 non-recurring profit related to the sale of 29.9% of Aguas CCU (CLP19,920 million).

Impact of the February 27, 2010 Earthquake and Tsunami

On February 27, 2010, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck the central and south regions of Chile. The quake epicenter was located 200 miles southwest of Santiago and 70 miles north of Concepción, Chile’s second largest city. The regions of Bío Bío and Maule were the most severely affected regions especially in the coastal area, which, shortly after the earthquake, was hit by a tsunami that significantly damaged cities and port facilities. The regions of Valparaíso and the Santiago Metropolitan area were also severely affected. According to an initial assessment by the government of Chile, the repair of the resulting damage, excluding damage to port facilities, is likely to take between three and four years and the preliminary assessments of reconstruction costs indicate that they could total approximately US$30 billion.

The February 27, 2010 earthquake’s impact on CCU’s operations related primarily to damage to infrastructure, inventory destruction and business interruptions, which was adequately covered by our insurance policies. The recovery plan and controls put in place by CCU proved to be effective and brought operations back to normality with minimal unavoidable product supply interruption.

As of December 31, 2010, we had received a material portion of our total estimated losses in payouts under such policies in the amount of CLP21,722 million. As of the date of the filing of this annual report, CCU has received the total amount due from its insurance policies totaling CLP 43,478 million. This amount, received in compensation for the losses caused by the February 27, 2010 earthquake, had a CLP 12,683 million positive non-recurring effect in our financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 (such results were filed with the SEC pursuant to a Form 6-K on May 9, 2011).

As a result of the February 27, 2010 earthquake, legislation has been passed raising the corporate income tax rate in order to pay for reconstruction following the earthquake, which may have an adverse effect on our results. The new legislation has increased the corporate tax rate from its previous rate of 17.0% to 20.0% for the income accrued in 2011. For the income accrued in 2012, the rate would decrease to 18.5% and further decrease to its current rate of 17.0% in 2013.

Outlook. We had a successful 2010, particularly in light of the February 27, 2010 earthquake and its consequences. Immediately after the earthquake, CCU implemented a contingency plan seeking to maximize the demand supply for our products, despite damages to our Santiago brewery and winery installations and significant loss of inventory. The damages caused by the earthquake were (and are) adequately covered by our insurance.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 1

The major occurrences of the fiscal year ended 2010 were: (a) the February 27, 2010 earthquake, which damaged our production capacity in our brewery located in Santiago and in some wineries and caused inventory losses in several different categories. As a result of the earthquake, an inevitable and temporary shortage in our supply of beer allowed our competitors to gain some market share, resulting in a 2.5% decrease in our market share. (b) The Chilean peso was on average 8.8% stronger than the U.S. dollar, setting a negative scenario for exports, though a positive one for buying commodities and other raw material imports. (c) Private consumption experienced a strong acceleration due to increasing employment rates after the February 27, 2010 earthquake. (d) increased competition in the one-way packaging and premium products market.

As of December 31, 2010, the earthquake had no net income statement effect, as the amount of the expenses and impairment of assets related to the earthquake were offset by identical amounts for insurance recoveries that were considered virtually certain under IAS 37. See Note 36 to the financial statements for further discussion.

##### Net Sales

Our net sales were CLP838,258 million in 2010, compared to CLP776,544 million in 2009, representing a 7.9% increase, primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher per unit prices in all segments. The net sales performance of each of our business segments during 2010 is described below:

1 Segment analysis excludes “Other/eliminations” data.

58

Table of Contents

Beer Chile: Our net sales of beer in Chile increased 3.5% to CLP287,981 million in 2010, from CLP278,170 million in 2009. Such increase resulted primarily from a 2.4% increase in unit price and a 1.5% increase in sales volume. Higher sales volumes, despite the initial negative impact of the February 27, 2010 earthquake in Chile, were primarily a result of the domestic private consumption acceleration, as well as the company’s proper sales execution. The higher per unit price of our products is a result of the price increase in premium and one-way packaging towards the end of 2010, and of a sales mix that included more premium beverages.

Beer Argentina: Our net sales of beer in Argentina increased 13.9% to CLP156,363 million in 2010, from CLP137,296 million in 2009. This increase was due to 5.8% higher beer sales volume and 6.6% increase in per unit price, measured in Chilean pesos. The higher beer sales volume was a result of a slightly higher market share and better penetration of our products. Higher per unit prices were primarily a result of price increases implemented during 2010 to compensate for increased costs and expenses, as well as a higher incidence of direct sales in our sales mix.

Non-alcoholic beverages: Our net sales of non-alcoholic beverages increased 10.9% to CLP223,476 million in 2010, from CLP201,512 million in 2009. This increase in sales was due to a 9.8% increase in sales volume and 0.9% increase in unit price, on average. Higher sales volume are a result of increases of 8.9%, 16.9% and 8.3% in carbonated soft drinks, nectars and water volumes, respectively, as a result of increased consumption after the February 27, 2010 earthquake, slightly higher market share, and effective sales execution. Unit price for carbonated soft drinks increased by 1.8%, however unit price for nectars and water decreased by 0.2% and 3.1%, respectively.

Wine: Our net sales of wine increased 6.1% to CLP132,293 million in 2010, from CLP124,726 million in 2009. The increase in sales is due to a 9.3% increase in sales volume and a 0.5% decrease in unit prices. The increase in sales volume was the result of a 9.5% increase in Chilean domestic volume and 11.2% increase in Chilean exports, which was offset by a 5.4% decrease in volume in Argentina. The decrease in unit prices is due to 7.2% lower unit prices in Chilean exports, expressed in Chilean currency. Lower unit prices in Chilean exports are a result of the appreciation of the local currency vis-à-vis the currencies of the exports’ destination countries. Domestic wine and Argentine wine average prices, also expressed in Chilean pesos, were 11.9% and 4.8% higher, respectively.

Spirits: Our net sales of spirits increased 11.3% to CLP43,218 million in 2010, from CLP38,830 million in 2009. This increase in sales is due to a 6.7% increase in sales volume and a 1.2% increase in per unit price due a sales mix that included more premium beverages.

##### Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of raw materials, packaging, labor costs for production personnel, depreciation of assets related to production, depreciation of returnable bottles, licensing fees, bottle breakage and costs of operating and maintaining plants and equipment. Our cost of goods sold in 2010 was CLP383,813 million, compared to CLP365,098 million in 2009. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold was 45.8% in 2010 and 47.0% in 2009. Our cost of goods sold for each business segment during 2010 is described below:

Beer Chile: Our cost of goods sold for our Chilean beer segment decreased 0.3% to CLP113,816 million in 2010, from CLP114,108 million in 2009. This decrease was due to a stronger Chilean peso and lower costs for some raw materials in U.S. dollars, compensating for the higher sales mix of premium and one-way products, which tend to have a higher production cost. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 41.0% in 2009 to 39.5% in 2010.

Beer Argentina: Our cost of goods sold for our Argentine beer segment increased 8.8% to CLP66,543 million in 2010, from CLP61,154 million in 2009, due to inflationary costs pressures. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 44.5% in 2009 to 42.6% in 2010, primarily a result of higher average prices.

Non-alcoholic beverages: Our cost of goods sold for our non-alcoholic beverage segment increased 7.5% to CLP108,666 million in 2010, from CLP101,075 million in 2009. This increase was due to higher sales volume, given that the unitary cost of our goods was lower than in 2009. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 50.2% in 2009 to 48.6% in 2010.

59

Table of Contents

Wine: Our cost of goods sold for our wine segment increased 7.7% to CLP83,876 million in 2010, from CLP77,855 million in 2009. This increase was primarily a result of higher cost of wine used as raw material in 2010, due to the scarcity created by the wine losses after the February 27, 2010 earthquake and a colder than usual spring. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 62.4% in 2009 to 63.4% in 2010.

Spirits: Our cost of goods sold for our spirits segment increased 9.8f% to CLP22,622 million in 2010, from CLP20,602 million in 2009 as a result of an increase in the costs of raw materials driven by the February 27, 2010 earthquake. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 53.1% in 2009 to 52.3% in 2010.

##### Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased 10.5% to CLP454,445 million in 2010, from CLP411,446 million in 2009. This increase was due to an increase in our sales above the increase in cost of goods sold. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 53.0% in 2009 to 54.2% in 2010.

##### Marketing and Selling, Distribution and Administrative Expenses

Our marketing and selling, distribution and administrative expenses (“MSD&A”) primarily include advertising and promotional expenses, salaries of administrative personnel, maintenance, general expenses, transportation costs and services provided by third parties. Our MSD&A increased 9.9% in 2010 to CLP300,659 million, from CLP273,591 million in 2009. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A increased from 35.2% in 2009 to 35.9% in 2010. The MDA&A performance of each business segment during 2010 is described below:

Beer Chile: The MSD&A of our Chilean beer segment increased 3.6% to CLP89,203 million in 2010, from CLP86,072 million in 2009. The increase in MSD&A is primarily attributable to higher marketing and distribution expenses. The higher marketing expenses were related to the introduction of a new image for the Cristal brand, which started in 2009, the activities surrounding the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa and the bicentennial celebration of Chile’s independence. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A increased from 30.9% in 2009 to 31.0% in 2010.

Beer Argentina: The MSD&A of our Argentine beer segment increased 15.6% to CLP68,006 million in 2010, from CLP58,814 million in 2009. The increase in MSD&A is primarily due to higher distribution expenses, higher investment in marketing and higher personnel expenses, all related to inflationary pressures. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A increased from 42.8% in 2009 to 43.5% in 2010.

Non-alcoholic beverages: The MSD&A of our non-alcoholic beverage segment increased 9.6% to CLP82,745 million in 2010, from CLP75,503 million in 2009. This increase is primarily due to higher distribution expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A for this segment decreased from 37.5% in 2009 to 37.0% in 2010, primarily as a result of the dilution of fixed expenses due to higher sale volumes.

Wine: The MSD&A of our wine segment increased 9.5% to CLP38,372 million in 2010, from CLP35,055 million in 2009. This increase in MSD&A is primarily related to higher volumes. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A for this segment increased from 28.1% in 2009 to 29.0% in 2010.

Spirits: The MSD&A of our spirits segment decreased 21.7% to CLP14,368 million in 2010, from CLP11,802 million in 2009. This decrease in MSD&A is primarily due to higher marketing and distribution expenses, after bringing the marketing rate to historical normal levels. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A for this segment increased from 30.4% in 2009 to 33.2% in 2010.

##### Other Operating Income/(expenses)

The other operating income/(expenses) increased in 2010 resulting in a net income of CLP1,472 million, as compared to a net expense of CLP473 million in 2009. With the exception of the wine segment, all segments contributed to the positive variance. In 2010, we recorded a non-recurring profit of CLP6,791 million generated in the sale of a property in Perú, which was not allocated to any business segment.

##### Operating Result

Our operating result increased 18.0% in 2010 to CLP162,049 million, as compared to CLP137,382 million in 2009, including the described non-recurring profit. As a percentage of net sales, operating result increased from 17.7% in 2009 to 19.3% in 2010. Excluding non-recurring profit, the operating result would have increased 13.0% and, as a percentage of net sales, would have increased 0.8%. The operating result performance of each of our business segments during 2010 is described below:

Beer Chile: The operating result from our Chilean beer segment increased 9.7% to CLP85,295 million in 2010, from CLP77,191 million in 2009. Our operating margin for this segment increased from 27.7% in 2009 to 29.6% in 2010.

Beer Argentina: The operating result from our Argentine beer segment, measured in Chilean pesos, increased 27.1% to CLP22,028 million in 2009, from CLP17,328 million in 2009. The results of this business segment are affected by the fluctuation of the Chilean peso vis-à-vis the Argentine peso, taking into account the Chilean peso as functional currency, when IFRS was adopted. Our operating margin for this segment increased from 12.6% in 2009 to 14.1% in 2010.

Non-alcoholic beverages: The operating result from our non-alcoholic beverage segment increased 31.1% to CLP32,364 million in 2010, from CLP24,686 million in 2009. Our operating margin for this segment increased from 12.3% in 2009 to 14.5% in 2010.

Wine: The operating result from our wine segment decreased 16.1% to CLP10,256 million in 2010, from CLP12,220 million in 2009. Our operating margin for this segment decreased from 9.8% in 2009 to 7.8% in 2010.

Spirits: The operating result from our spirits segment decreased 0.2% to CLP6,409 million in 2010, from CLP6,421 million in 2009. Our operating margin for this segment decreased from 16.5% in 2009 to 14.8% in 2010.

##### Net Financing Expenses

Our net financing expenses decreased 20.1% to CLP8,288 million in 2010 as compared to CLP10,367 million in 2009. This decrease is primarily due to a higher level of financial debt in 2009 as a result of the refinancing of a USD$100 million loan that was originally due in November 2009 and the acquisition of Viña Tarapacá.. We improved our liquidity by offering local bonds in April 2009.

##### Share of profits of associates and joint ventures

CCU has 50% participation in each of the following companies: Cervecería Austral S.A., Foods, Viña Valles de Chile S.A. and Promarca. The share of the profit in the referred companies decreased 13.7% to CLP966 million in 2010, from CLP1,349 million in 2009.

##### Result of indexed units and Exchange rate differences

The adjustment units applied to our liabilities due to Chilean inflation and foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a net loss of CLP6,481 million in 2010, as compared to a net profit of CLP2,800 million in 2009. These results are largely due to the effect of a negative 2.3% inflation rate in 2009, compared to a positive inflation rate of 3.0% in 2010, over the Company’s UF 2 denominated liabilities, despite the lower average UF liability balances held in 2010. A loss results from holding a net position of UF denominated liabilities during inflationary periods, or from holding foreign currency denominated liabilities in excess of foreign currency denominated assets during periods of devaluation of the Chilean peso.

Other gains (losses) net

Our other gains decreased from a net gain of CLP21,925 million in 2009 to a net loss of CLP655 million in 2010. The change is largely explained by the CLP24,439 million result before taxes generated from the sale of 29.9% of Aguas CCU in 2009.

#####

2 The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a monetary unit expressed in Chilean pesos, whose value is indexed to the Chilean inflation.

Table of Contents

##### Income taxes

Our income taxes for 2010 amounted to CLP27,656 million, translating into an effective consolidated tax rate of 18.7%. Income taxes in 2009 amounted to CLP11,724 million translating into an effective consolidated tax rate of 7.7%. In 2009, our effective consolidated tax rate was lower than the Chilean statutory rate of 17%, primarily due to a reduction in our income tax due to an investment restructuring and non-taxable income generation.

Net profit of the year

Our net profit for 2010 decreased 15.2% from CLP141,365 million in 2009 to CLP119,937 million in 2010, primarily as a result of the lack of the non-recurrent profit generated in 2009 due to the sale of 29.9% of Aguas CCU and the effect of a positive inflation rate in 2010 on our UF denominated net liabilities, as compared to the deflation experienced through 2009.

Net profit attributable to equity holders of parent company

Our net profit attributable to equity holders of our parent company decreased 13.5% from CLP128,037 million in 2009 to CLP110,700 million in 2010 for the reasons explained in the preceding paragraphs.

##### Net profit attributable to minority interest

Minority interest decreased from CLP13,328 million in 2009 to CLP9,237 million in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to lower results in Aguas CCU, VSPT and CPCh, partially compensated by better results in Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., and CCU Argentina, coupled with the decrease in our ownership stake of Aguas CCU.

Our net sales were CLP776,544 million in 2009 compared to CLP710,189 million in 2008, representing a 9.3% increase, which is primarily due to higher sales volumes in beer Argentina, in non-alcoholic beverages, and in wine. Average prices per unit were higher in all segments. The net sales performance of each of our business segments during 2009 is described below:

Beer Chile: Our net sales of beer in Chile increased 3.0% to CLP278,170 million in 2009, from CLP270,058 million in 2008. This increase was due to a 6.0% increase in unit price and a 1.9% decrease in sales volume. Lower sales volumes were primarily a result of the local effect of the global financial crises which adversely affected the employment, in particular in the construction sector. Higher per unit price is a consequence of the price increases in August and October 2008 and of a more premium sales mix.

Beer Argentina: Our net sales of beer in Argentina increased 19.2% to CLP137,296 million in 2009, from CLP115,187 million in 2008. This increase was due to 7.7% higher beer sales volume and 15.1% increase in per unit price in Chilean pesos. Higher volumes are due to the acquisition of ICSA in April 2008, which resulted in the addition of three new beer brands: Imperial, Bieckert and Palermo and a brewing facility in Luján and also to a 0.9% organic growth. Higher prices were primarily due to price increases implemented during the year and a higher premium product mix.

Non-alcoholic beverages: Our net sales of non-alcoholic beverages increased 7.7% to CLP201,512 million in 2009, from CLP187,071 million in 2008. This increase in sales was due to a 3.8% increase in sales volume and 3.7% increase in unit price. Higher sales volume is due to increases of 2.9%, 11.0% and 2.7% in soft drinks, nectars and water volumes. Unit price increased 3.3%, 2.2% and 4.8% in soft drinks, nectar and water, respectively.

Wine: Our net sales of wine increased 34.6% to CLP124,726 million in 2009, from CLP92,671 million in 2008. The increase in sales is due to a 20.1% increase in sales volume and 9.8% increase in unit prices. The increase in sales volume was the result of an organic increase of 6.7% and 13.4% is explained by the brands acquired with the merger of Viña San Pedro S.A. and Viña Tarapacá S.A. in the last quarter 2008. The total volume increase is broken down as follows: the Chilean domestic volume increased 5.5%, the Chilean exports grew 35.3% and Argentine wine volume was 50% higher. The increase in unit prices is due to 5.1%, 4.8% and 2.8% higher unit prices in the domestic market, Chilean exports and Argentine wine, respectively.

3 Segment analysis excludes “Other/eliminations” data.

Spirits: Our net sales of spirits [increased] 0.1% to CLP38,830 million in 2009, from CLP38,799 million in 2008. This increase in sales is due to a 5.4% decrease in sales volume compensated by a 5.2% higher per unit price. Lower volume and price is primarily due to consumer’s habit changes towards other imported liquor.

##### Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of raw materials, packaging, labor costs for production personnel, depreciation of assets related to production, depreciation of returnable bottles, licensing fees, bottle breakage and costs of operating and maintaining plants and equipment. Our cost of goods sold in 2009 was CLP365,098 million compared to CLP335,579 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold was 47.0% in 2009 and 47.3% in 2008. Our cost of goods sold for each business segment during 2009 is described below:

Beer Chile: Our cost of goods sold for our Chilean beer segment increased by 2.6% to CLP114,108 million in 2009, from CLP111,191 million in 2008. This increase was due to higher costs of raw materials in US$ in addition to higher sales mix of premium and one-way products. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 41.2% in 2008 to 41.0% in 2009.

Beer Argentina: Our cost of goods sold for our Argentine beer segment increased by 9.9% to CLP61,154 million in 2009, from CLP55,623 million in 2008. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 48.3% in 2008 to 44.5% in 2009, primarily due to higher volumes and costs of raw materials, higher personnel and energy costs.

Non-alcoholic beverages: Our cost of goods sold for our non-alcoholic beverage segment increased by 7.5% to CLP101,075 million in 2009, from CLP93,993 million in 2008. This increase was due to higher direct costs due to higher sales volume and higher costs of raw material, mostly sugar. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales remained at 50.2% in 2009.

Wine: Our cost of goods sold for our wine segment increased by 44.5% to CLP77,855 million in 2009, from CLP53,891 million in 2008. This increase was primarily due to higher costs of grapes in 2009. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 58.2% in 2008 to 62.4% in 2009.

Spirits: Our cost of goods sold for our spirits segment increased by 0.5% to CLP20,602 million in 2009, from CLP20,502 million in 2008. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 52.8% in 2008 to 53.1% in 2009, primarily due to the lower costs of grapes in 2008.

##### Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased 9.8% to CLP411,446 million in 2009, from CLP374,610 million in 2008. This increase was due to an increase in our sales above the increase in cost of goods sold. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 52.7% in 2008 to 53.0% in 2009.

##### Marketing and Selling, Distribution and Administrative Expenses

Our MSD&A, primarily include advertising and promotional expenses, salaries of administrative personnel, maintenance, general expenses, transportation costs and services provided by third parties. Our MSD&A increased 9.0% in 2009 to CLP273,591 million, from CLP251,092 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A decreased from 35.4% in 2008 to 35.2% in 2009. The MDA&A performance of each business segment during 2009 is described below:

Beer Chile: The MSD&A of our Chilean beer segment increased 3.2% to CLP86,072 million in 2009, from CLP83,434 million in 2008. The increase in MSD&A is primarily due to higher distribution expenses and marketing investment in relation to the launching of Cristal’s new image, partially offset by lower salary expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A remained at 30.9% in 2009.

Table of Contents

Beer Argentina: The MSD&A of our Argentine beer segment increased 19.3% to CLP58,814 million in 2009, from CLP49,297 million in 2008. The increase in MSD&A is primarily due to higher distribution expenses, higher investment in marketing and higher personnel expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A remained at 42.8% in 2009.

Non-alcoholic beverages: The MSD&A of our non-alcoholic beverage segment increased 5.6% to CLP75,503 million in 2009, from CLP71,466 million in 2008. This increase is primarily due to higher distribution expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A for this segment decreased from 38.2% in 2008 to 37.5% in 2009, primarily due to the dilution of fixed expenses as a result of higher sale volumes.

Wine: The MSD&A of our wine segment increased 21.1% to CLP35,055 million in 2009, from CLP28,939 million in 2008. This increase in MSD&A is primarily related to higher volumes and to the merger with Viña Tarapacá in the last quarter of 2008. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A for this segment decreased from 31.2% in 2008 to 28.1% in 2009.

Spirits: The MSD&A of our spirits segment decreased 2.1% to CLP11,802 million in 2009, from CLP12,053 million in 2008. This decrease in MSD&A is primarily due to lower marketing expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our MSD&A for this segment decreased from 31.1% in 2008 to 30.4% in 2009.

##### Other Operating Income/(expenses)

The Other operating income/(expenses) decreased in 2009 to a net expense of CLP473 million as compared to an income of CLP472 million in 2008. The negative variation was originated in the segments Beer Chile (CLP261 million), Beer Argentina (CLP359 million), non-alcoholic beverages (CLP268 million) and Wine (CLP60 million), whereas in the Spirits segment the variation was positive CLP224 million.

##### Operating Result

Our operating result increased by 10.8% in 2009 to CLP137,382 million as compared to CLP123,990 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, operating result increased from 17.5% in 2008 to 17.7% in 2009. The operating result performance of each of our business segments during 2009 is described below:

Beer Chile: The operating result from our Chilean beer segment increased by 3.1% to CLP77,191 million in 2009, from CLP74,896 million in 2008. Our operating margin for this segment remained at 27.7%.

Beer Argentina: The operating result from our Argentine beer segment, measured in Chilean pesos, increased by 63.1% to CLP17,328 million in 2009, from CLP10,627 million in 2008. The results of this business segment are affected by the fluctuation of the Chilean peso vis-à-vis the Argentine peso after choosing this latter currency as functional currency, when IFRS was adopted. Our operating margin for this segment increased from 9.2% in 2008 to 12.6% in 2009.

Non-alcoholic beverages: The operating result from our non-alcoholic beverage segment increased by 14.1% to CLP24,686 million in 2009, from CLP21,633 million in 2008. Our operating margin for this segment increased from 11.6% in 2008 to 12.3% in 2009.

Wine: The operating result from our wine segment increased by 18.6% to CLP12,220 million in 2009, from CLP10,304 million in 2008. Our operating margin for this segment decreased from 11.1% in 2008 to 9.8% in 2009.

Spirits: The operating result from our spirits segment increased by 6.7% to CLP6,421 million in 2009, from CLP6,016 million in 2008. Our operating margin for this segment increased from 15.5% in 2008 to 16.5% in 2009.

##### Net financing expenses

Our net financing expenses increased 116.1% to CLP10,367 million in 2009 as compared to CLP4,797 million in 2008. This increase is primarily due to a higher level of financial debt caused by the early procurement of the refinancing of a USD$100 million loan due in November 2009 and the acquisition of Viña Tarapacá, in a year with complex world liquidity. We improved our liquidity by offering local bonds in April.

##### Share of profits of associates and joint ventures

CCU has 50% participation in each of the following companies: Cervecería Austral S.A., Foods, Viña Valles de Chile S.A. and Promarca and the share of the profit in the referred companies decreased 13.7% to CLP1,349 million in 2009, from CLP1,564 million in 2008.

##### Result of indexed units and Exchange rate differences

The adjustment units applied to our liabilities due to Chilean inflation and foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a net profit of CLP2,800 million in 2009, as compared to a net loss of CLP16,492 million in 2008. These results are largely due to the effect of a negative 2.3% inflation rate in 2009 compared to a positive 8.9% in 2008, over the Company’s UF 4 denominated liabilities. A loss results from holding a net position of UF denominated liabilities during inflationary periods, or from holding foreign currency denominated liabilities in excess of foreign currency denominated assets during periods of devaluation of the Chilean peso.

Other gains (losses) net

Our other gains, including the immediately recognized negative goodwill presented in a separate line in 2008, increased from a net profit of CLP1,563 million in 2008 to a net gain of CLP21,925 million in 2009. The CLP20,362 million variance is largely explained by the CLP24,439 million result before taxes generated with the sale of 29.9% of Aguas CCU in 2009.

##### Income taxes

Our income taxes for 2009 amounted to CLP11,724 million, translating into an effective consolidated tax rate of 7.7%. Income taxes in 2008 amounted to CLP10,524 million translating into an effective consolidated tax rate of 9.9%. In 2009, our effective consolidated tax rate was lower than the Chilean statutory rate of 17%, primarily due to a reduction in our income tax resulting from an investment restructuring and from non-taxable income generation.

Net profit of the year

Our net profit of the year increased 48.3% from CLP95,303 million in 2008 to 141,365 million in 2008 due to a better operating result, a non recurrent profit in the sale of 29.9% of Aguas CCU and a favorable financial position vis-à-vis a negative inflation.

Net profit attributable to equity holders of parent company

Our net profit attributable to equity holders of our parent company increased 41.6% from CLP90,414 million to CLP128,037 million for the reasons explained in the preceding paragraph.

##### Net profit attributable to minority interest

Minority interest increased from CLP4,890 million in 2008 to CLP13,328 million in 2009. This increase was primarily due to better results in Aguas CCU, CPCh, Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., VSPT and CICSA, coupled with a participation decrease in Aguas CCU

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our main source of liquidity has been cash generated by our operating activities, which amounted to CLP150,844 million and CLP159,265 million during 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Our cash flow from operations and working capital are our primary sources to meet both our short-term and long-term obligations. In the opinion of our management, they are sufficient to this end.

In 2010, our cash flows provided by operating activities totalled CLP159,265 million. The main component of cash flows generated by operating activities in 2010 were amounts collected from clients net of payment to suppliers of CLP365,609 million compared to CLP392,971 million in 2009.

In 2010, our cash flows used in financing activities totalled CLP79,364 million compared to CLP37,057 million in 2009. The main components of cash flows used in financing activities consisted of dividends paid of CLP72,371 million and repayment of bank borrowings of CLP7,038 million, partially offset by proceeds from short-term borrowings of CLP8,571 million. In 2009, payments of cash dividends were CLP50,710 million and repayment of bank borrowings was CLP97,608 million and there were no proceeds from short-term borrowing, however the proceeds from long-term borrowings were CLP118,032 million.

In 2010, our cash used in investment activities totalled CLP65,348 million compared CLP30,732 million in 2009. The main components of cash used in investment activities in 2010 consisted of capital expenditures of CLP64,396 million and payments made to obtain control of subsidiaries or other businesses of CLP10.646 million, partially offset by the proceeds from sale of assets of CLP11,162 (primarily attributable to the one time cash flow of CLP10,953 million on the Peru site sale, sale profit net of tax was paid in Peru).

There are no material restrictions, either legal or economic, that would limit our ability to transfer funds (i.e., dividends, loans, or advances) from our subsidiaries to us.

As of December 31, 2010, we had CLP77,411 million in cash, time deposits and marketable securities, which does not include CLP74,203 million corresponding to readjustable promissory notes issued by the Central Bank and purchased under resale agreements. Indebtedness, including accrued interest, amounted to CLP225,308 million as of December 31, 2010. Short-term indebtedness included:

• CLP5,829 million of short-term bank borrowings.

• CLP5,087 million of bonds payable.

• CLP431 million of financial lease obligations

As of December 31, 2010, long-term indebtedness, excluding the current portion, comprised:

• CLP42,722 million of long-term obligations to banks, and

• CLP155,813 million of long-term obligations to the public represented by bonds.

• CLP15,426 million of long-term financial lease obligations.

On April 2, 2009 the Company issued two series of notes for UF 3 million and UF 2 million for a total of CLP104,188 million in order to refinance a previous loan of CLP30.000 million and the US$100 million syndicated loan due in November 2009. The conditions of the bonds are as follows:

| “I” Series | “H” Series
UF amount | 3 million | 2 million
Term | 5 years | 21 years
Duration | 4.63 years | 11.5 years
Amortization | Bullet | Since year 11
Interest Rate | UF+3.00% | UF+4.25%

As mentioned before, during the last quarter of 2009 we repaid a syndicated loan of US$100 million which had been converted into a fixed-rate UF loan through a cross currency swap.

As of December 31, 2010, some of our outstanding debt instruments required that we maintain certain financial ratios. The most significant covenants required us to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (the ratio of operating result (“EBIT”) plus depreciation and operating amortization to interest expenses) equal to or higher than 3.00 to 1.00; to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of adjusted liabilities to adjusted equity) equal or lower than 1.50 to 1.00 in CCU, 1.20 to 1.00 in VSPT and 2.00 to 1.00 in CPCh; a minimum consolidated equity of CLP312,516.75 million, of CLP83,337.8 million in VSPT and of UF700 thousand (CLP15,019 million as of Dec 31, 2010) in CPCh; and a maximum indebtedness ratio of less than 3.00 to 1:00 from financial liabilities (bank loans, notes, and leasing obligations) to EBITDA. Furthermore, we were required to maintain a ratio of our unpledged assets over our unsecured liabilities of at least 1.2. The definition of, and calculation mechanics for, all covenants were established when we first entered into these debt instruments, and were based on Chilean GAAP, which are no longer in use since the Company adopted IFRS, as issued by the IASB. For that reason, the Company in 2010 adapted, with the consent of its creditors, these requirements to the new accounting standards and principles.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2010, we met all our financial debt covenants and had a consolidated interest coverage ratio of 18.79 to 1, a consolidated leverage ratio of 0.77 to 1. The consolidated adjusted equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company as of December 31, 2010 was CLP542,531 million. Our indebtedness ratio was 1.16 and the ratio of unpledged assets over unsecured liabilities was 2.3, respectively.

None of our indebtedness, or that of our subsidiaries, contains any term that restricts our ability to pay dividends other than the requirement to maintain a minimum consolidated equity.

The following table summarizes debt obligations held by us as of December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

During the years 2011 through 2014, we plan to make capital expenditures mainly to adapt, update and increase production capacity, install new packaging lines, enhance environmental protection, optimize our distribution system and warehouse facilities, invest in additional returnable bottles and crates to replace obsolete inventories, adapt to new packaging formats and support industry volume growth. Capital expenditures are also focused on improving management information systems and making additional investments in marketing assets.

We review our capital investment program periodically and changes to the program are made as appropriate. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will make any of these proposed capital expenditures at the anticipated level or at all. In addition, we are analyzing the possibility of making acquisitions in the same or related beverage businesses, either in Chile or in other countries of South America’s southern cone. Our capital investment program is subject to revision from time to time due to changes in market conditions for our products, general economic conditions in Chile, Argentina and elsewhere, interest, inflation and foreign exchange rates, competitive conditions and other factors.

We expect to fund our capital expenditures through a combination of internally generated funds and long term indebtedness.

Research and Development

Innovation is the driver that allows CCU to meet a constantly evolving demand. Our research and development efforts to continuously satisfy the market introducing new products and brands, although significant, do not involve material expenditures, as we have a close relationship with the companies that own the brands subject to license contracts. Thus, development is focused on the development and enhancement of spirits, namely variants of pisco and rum. The relationship with the license owners is a constant resource in these matters as well as in the application of production best practices, providing access to the “state of the art” in the industry. In 2003, we entered into two technical agreements with Heineken International for assistance regarding all technical issues related to the production and bottling of Heineken Lager, one for Chile and the other one for Argentina. The initial term of these agreements is ten years beginning in June 2003, renewable for subsequent periods of five years. In May 2004, we entered into a technical assistance agreement with Heineken Technical Services B.V. for operational aspects of our breweries, with an initial term of one year, renewable for subsequent periods of one year each. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees” and “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.” The license agreement between CCU Argentina and Anheuser-Busch, signed in 1995, as amended, also provides us with both technical and marketing assistance for the production and marketing of Budweiser beer brand in Argentina. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Our Business – Business Overview – Our Beer Business – Our Beer Business in Argentina – Beer Production and Marketing in Argentina.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in this annual report. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences, changes in the business environment and information collected from qualified external sources. However, actual results may differ from estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and/or require management’s subjective judgments. The most critical accounting polices and estimates are described below.

a) Property, plant, equipment and bottles: The key judgments we must make under the property and equipment policy include the estimation of the useful lives of our various asset types, expected residual values, the election to utilize primarily the straight-line method for recording depreciation, management’s judgment regarding appropriate capitalization or expensing of costs related to fixed assets, and the evaluation of potential impairments, if any.

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. In estimating the useful lives (residual values are considered) we have primarily relied upon actual experience with the same or similar types of equipment and recommendations from the manufacturers. Useful lives are based on the estimated amount of years an asset will be productive and are revised periodically to recognize potential impacts caused by new technologies, changes to maintenance procedures, changes in utilization of the equipment, and changing market prices of new and used equipment of the same or similar types.

Property and equipment assets are evaluated for possible impairment. Factors that would indicate potential impairment may include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of the long-lived asset(s), a significant change in the long-lived asset’s physical condition and operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the long-lived asset. This process requires our estimate of future cash flows generated by each asset or group of assets. For any instance where this evaluation process indicates impairment, the appropriate asset’s carrying values are written down to net realizable value and the amount of the write-down is charged against the results of continuing operations.

Table of Contents

Expenditures that substantially improve and/or increase the useful life of facilities and equipment are capitalized. Other maintenance or repair costs are charged income as incurred.

b) Goodwill, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets other than goodwill: Management exercises judgment in assessing goodwill and the useful lives of other intangible assets including commercial trademarks and software programs. Judgments are also exercised for assessing potential impairments for these kinds of assets. Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the purchase price of companies acquired over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and is accounted for at its cost value less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill in the acquisition of joint ventures is assessed for impairment as part of the investment, provided that there are signs indicating that the investment may be impaired. We annually review the recorded value of our goodwill, or sooner if changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may exceed fair value. Recoverability of the carrying value of the asset is determined by comparing net book value, including goodwill, to fair value based on the estimated future net cash flows of the relevant assets. See Note 2.14 and 2.15.

c) Deposits on bottles and containers: In Chile, returnable bottles are proprietary and are only given to customers in exchange for a deposit equivalent to a significant portion of the replacement cost of such bottles. The amount collected is recorded in the deposits on bottles and containers liability account that is not price-level adjusted. The deposit is returned to the customer when the bottles and the commodity agreement are returned. The expected return of bottles and containers put into circulation in the market and the estimated value of valid deposits, especially those from glass bottles, are adjusted annually. The adjustment is based on an estimate that is carried out by counting the bottles held by customers and adding an estimate of the number of bottles in hands of the final consumers. This latter estimate is based on independent studies and historical information regarding the return of these bottles. In Argentina, all companies use the same returnable bottles. Therefore, unlike in Chile where returnable bottles are proprietary and require a deposit, bottles are delivered in bailment to customers. See Note 2.21.

d) Severance Indemnities: As of December 31, 2010, the liabilities for mandatory severance indemnities have been determined at their current actuarial value, based on the accrued cost of the benefit, using an annual discount interest rate of 7.7% in Chile and 13.9% in Argentina. The calculation also considers several assumptions such as the estimated years of service that the personnel will have at the date of their retirement, mortality rates and future salary increases.

e) Financial instruments: The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability in its balance sheet when it becomes subject to the contractual stipulations of a financial instrument. As of the date of the initial recognition, Management classifies its financial assets (i) at fair value through income and (ii) collectible credits and accounts, depending on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The fair value of the instruments that are actively quoted in formal markets is determined by the quoted price as of the financial statements closing date. For those investments without an active market the fair value is determined using valuation techniques, among them (i) the use of recent market transactions, (ii) references to the current market value of another financial instrument of similar characteristics, (iii) discounted cash flows, and (iv) other valuation models. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value. For those instruments not classified at fair value through income, any cost attributable to the transaction is recognized as part of the asset value.

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

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

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

Trend Information

The Chilean economy experienced a 5.2% increase in 2010, after decreasing 1.7% in 2009, thus showing its largest expansion since 2005 and leaving behind the low expectations after the February 27, 2010 earthquake. All the economic sectors contributed to the positive results, with the exception of the fishing and industrial sectors, which showed decreased activity as a result of the February 27, 2010 earthquake. According to the statistics published by the Central Bank of Chile, as of May of 2011, the GDP growth for the year has been estimated at 6%. During 2010, on the domestic side of the economy, internal demand increased 16.4%, private consumption increased 10.4%, capital accumulation increased 18.8% (including a sharp increase in equipment of 38.5%) and investment in construction increased 1.8%. With regards to private consumption, the mentioned average of 10.4% increase was a result of a significant increase in durable goods, mostly cars and electric appliances, and a decreased in non-durable goods. On the other hand, public spending increased 3.3%. Retail activity increased 13.3%, which resulted in a quarter of the GDP growth. Economic activity after the February 27, 2010 earthquake explains the growth in retail activity that is associated with the reconstruction and restocking of goods after a natural disaster, and also the increased activity in the construction sector associated with demolition and repair expenses, which compensated for the lower investment in public works. The inflation rate was 3.0% in 2010 and it is expected to be higher in 2011, reaching 4.5%. Unemployment was 8.1% on average, and decreased to 7.1% in the last quarter 2011. We cannot assure you that our products’ consumption will vary in the same proportion as the overall economic indicators, since there is no perfect correlation. The conditions in particular sectors of the economy may have different impact in our business. Factors such as competition and changes in relative prices among the various types of beverages can affect the consumption of our products. In particular, our beer brands in Chile may face increased competition from other brewers as well as from alcoholic beverages, such as wine and spirits, and non‑alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks. Historically, beer consumption in Chile has been influenced by changes in domestic wine prices. Increases in domestic wine prices tend to increase beer consumption, while reductions in wine prices have reduced or slowed down the growth of beer consumption. For example, during 2005 beer consumption and wine prices increased significantly. However, in 2006, beer consumption grew significantly but wine prices decreased. Recently, as a result of a smaller wine harvest and the higher international demand for Chilean wine, the price of bulk wine increased. Similarly, the price of soft drinks has decreased relative to the price of beer over the past few years due to lower packaging costs and the introduction of larger packaging formats, which may also affect further growth in beer consumption.

Since 2005, the Argentine government has restricted gas exports to Chile due to supply problems in that country. This situation has increased the costs of operating our beer production plants in Chile and Argentina, as well as our soft drinks plants in Chile. Additionally, it has increased electrical power costs related to these same gas restrictions. We do not need additional investments because our boilers can work with gas or with alternative fuels, such as diesel oil or butane gas. In addition, the new plant built in Quintero built process imported liquefied natural gas (“GNL”) started its operation in August 2009, bringing further relief to the energy issue. More investments seeking a diversified matrix of energy resources, mostly private, are in the process of materialization: GNL plants, hydroelectric plants and windmill plants.

After four years of recession in Argentina, the economy stabilized in 2003, as evidenced by significant increases in consumption and in the recovery of prices in the beer industry. This positive trend has continued and GDP grew 7.3% per annum, on average, between 2003 and 2010, whereas inflation rate has become a burden. Nevertheless, further recovery in Argentina will depend on deep structural reforms in many areas, including regulations in several markets, as well as the solution to the local energy crisis and an increase in investments to support current economic growth.

Revenues from CCU Argentina, in Chilean pesos, are also subject to the volatility of exchange rates of the Chilean peso and Argentine peso in any given period. This volatility may also affect the level of income reported from our foreign operations under IFRS.

On January 13, 2003, the existing shareholders’ agreement was amended in order to allow the Schörghuber Group to sell its interest in IRSA to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. On April 17, 2003, the Schörghuber Group gave Quiñenco formal notice of the sale of its interest in IRSA to Heineken International B.V. Currently, Heineken Chile Ltda., a Chilean limited corporation controlled by Heineken Americas B.V., owns 50% of IRSA’s shares. As of December 31, 2005, IRSA’s primary shareholders’ agreement gives Quiñenco the right to propose to our board of directors the candidates for Chief Executive Officer, and to Heineken Chile Ltda. our General Comptroller and CCU Chile’s General Manager. On the other hand, under the agreement, neither Quiñenco nor Heineken Chile Ltda. can separately, directly or indirectly, buy or sell our shares.

Compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of compensation paid by us to all our directors was CLP2,152 million.

The Board of Directors’ compensation is determined by the shareholders at the annual general shareholders’ meeting. The Board’s compensation, approved at our shareholders’ meeting held on April 20, 2010, consists of an attendance fee per meeting of UF100 per board member and a fee that is twice as much for the Chairman, along with a profit-sharing amount equal to 3% of distributed dividends for all board members, proportionately (prior to 2008 this amount was 5% of distributed dividends). If distributed dividends exceed 50% of our liquid profits, the profit-sharing amount will be calculated over a maximum of 50% of our liquid profits. Additionally, board members who participate in the Business Committee receive UF17 for each meeting they attend. Law N°18,046 introduced a mandatory remuneration for the board members who are members of the Directors Committee, consisting of, at a minimum, one third of the remuneration a board member receives in such capacity. The rule was effective in 2010 and the Shareholders Meeting of April 20, 2010 approved that this remuneration was to be paid with UF34 for each meeting the board member attends a session and the remaining portion, up to the mandated one third, will be paid once the total amount of the compensation paid to the board member is known. Furthermore, board members who sit on the Audit Committee receive a monthly compensation of UF25. The described compensation package was also approved for 2011 in the shareholders’ meeting held on April 15, 2011.

In 2010, the total compensation paid by us and our subsidiaries to each of our directors for services rendered was as follows:

| Attendance | Dividend |
Director | Meetings fee (1) | Participation | Total
| (CLP thousands)

Board Practices

We are managed by our board of directors which, in accordance with our bylaws (Estatutos), is formed by nine directors who are elected at the regular shareholders’ meeting. The entire board of directors is elected for three years and the last election of directors took place in April 2009. The board of directors may appoint replacements to fill any vacancies that occur during periods between annual shareholders’ meetings. If such a vacancy occurs, the entire board of directors must be renewed at the next following shareholders’ meeting. Our senior managers are appointed by the board of directors and hold office at the discretion of the board of directors. There are regularly scheduled meetings of the board of directors once a month; extraordinary meetings are specially summoned by the Chairman at the request of any of the board of directors’ members. The board of directors does not have an executive committee. Nevertheless, we have a Business Committee consisting of certain board members which meets only on those occasions where it is necessary to review issues of special relevance which are later to be considered by the Board.

Directors Committee

The directors committee’s discussions, agreements, and organization are regulated, in every applicable matter, by the Chilean Corporations Act provisions relating to board of directors’ meetings. The directors committee shall inform the board of directors about the manner in which it will request information and about its resolutions.

In addition to the general liabilities imputable to any director, the directors that compose the directors committee shall, in the exercise of their duties, be jointly and severally liable for any damage caused to the corporation or the shareholders.

The directors committee shall be composed of three members, the majority of which shall be independent. Independent directors are those that would have been elected even if the votes cast in the director’s favor by the controlling shareholder and its related persons had not been counted. However, a majority of directors related to the controlling shareholder is permissible if there are an insufficient number of independent directors. Should there be more than three directors entitled to participate in the directors committee, the board of directors shall elect the members of the directors committee by unanimous vote. Should the board of directors fail to reach an agreement, the matter shall be decided by drawing.

T he Securities Market Law and the Chilean Corporations Act were further amended by Law
N° 20.382, effective January 1, 2010 (the “2010 amendment”).

Under the 2010 amendment, corporations whose market capitalization reaches or exceeds 1.5 million Unidades de Fomento (as of April 30, 2011 approximately CLP32,567 million) and at least 12,5% of its outstanding shares with voting rights are in the possession of shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of such shares, shall designate a comité de directores or “directors committee.” If the market capitalization or stock percentage falls below this threshold, the obligation to designate a directors committee no longer applies. However, corporations which do not meet these requirements may voluntarily assume the obligations concerning the directors committee, in which case they shall strictly follow the provisions of the amendment.

Pursuant to the 2010 amendment, the powers and duties of the directors committee are as follows:

· to examine the independent accountants’ reports, the balance sheets, and other financial statements submitted by the corporation’s managers or liquidators to the shareholders, and issue an opinion about them prior to their submission for shareholder approval;

· to propose to the board of directors, the independent accountants which the board must then propose to and the risk rating agencies which the board must inform to the shareholders annually. Should the board of directors disagree with the directors committee’s proposal, the board shall be entitled to make its own proposal, submitting both to the shareholders for their consideration;

· to examine the documentation concerning related party transactions of the company and its subsidiaries, and to produce a written report on such transactions. A copy of the report shall be delivered to the board, and shall be read at the board meeting in which the transaction is presented for approval or rejection;

· to examine the managers’, principal executive officers’ and employees remuneration policies and compensation plans;

78

Table of Contents

· to prepare an annual report of the performance of its duties, including the principal recommendations to shareholders;

· to report to the board of directors the convenience of retaining or not the independent accounting firm to provide non-audit services, which are not prohibited by the Securities Market Law, if the nature of such services could impair the accountants independence from the company; and

· all other matters contemplated in our bylaws or entrusted to the directors committee by a shareholders’ meeting or the board of directors.

Regarding related party transactions mentioned in the third bullet point above, the 2010 amendment introduced a new Chapter XVI to the Chilean Corporation Act for open stock corporations and its subsidiaries, while dispositions of articles 44, 89 and 93, as amended, remain applicable only to closed corporations, which are not subsidiaries of an open stock corporation. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

The directors committee shall be composed of three members, the majority of which shall be independent. Pursuant to the 2010 amendment, no person shall be considered independent who, at any time during the previous eighteen months, shall have incurred in any one of the following situations:

1.- Maintained any relationship, interest or economic, professional, credit or commercial dependence, of a nature and relevant volume, with the company, other companies of the financial conglomerate to which the company belongs, its comptroller, or principal executive officer of any one of them, or have been a director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer or advisor of such companies.

2.- Is a close relative (i.e., parents, father/mother in law, sisters, brothers, sisters/brothers in law), to any one of the persons referred to in the previous number.

3.- Was a director, manager, administrator or principal executive officer of non-profit organizations that received contributions or large donations from any individual referred to in number 1 above;

4.- Was a partner or shareholder that possessed or controlled, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the company’s capital; a director; manager; administrator or principal executive officer of entities who had provided consulting or legal services, for relevant amounts, or of external audit, to the persons referred to in 1 above;

5.- Was a partner or shareholder who possessed or controlled, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the company’s capital; a director; manager; administrator or principal executive officer of main competitors, suppliers or clients of the company.

Should there be more than three directors entitled to participate in the directors committee, the board of directors shall elect the members of the directors committee by unanimous vote. Should the board of directors fail to reach an agreement, preference to be appointed to the committee shall be given to directors elected with the highest percentage of votes cast by shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of the companys shares. If there is only one independent director, such director shall appoint the other members of the committee among non independent directors. Such directors shall be entitled to exercise full powers as members of the committee. The Chairman of the board of directors shall not be entitled to be appointed as a member of the committee nor any of its subcommittees, unless he is an independent director.

To be elected as independent director, the candidates must be proposed by shareholders that represent 1% or more of the shares of the company, within 10 days prior to the date of the shareholders' meeting called to that end.

The candidate who obtains the highest votes shall be elected as independent director.

In the board meeting held on January 13, 2010, our board in accordance with the provisions of the SVS, appointed as members of our directors committee Messrs. Carlos Olivos, Francisco Pérez and Alberto Sobredo, of whom Mr.. Olivos and Mr. Sobredo are independent directors pursuant the Chilean Corporations Act, as amended in 2010.

The members of the Directors Committee shall be remunerated. The amount of such remuneration shall be established annually by the shareholders, taking in consideration the duties that the directors’ committee members shall perform, which shall not be less than a third of the remuneration of a regular director. The remuneration of our directors committee members, as approved at the shareholders’ meeting of the company held on April 20, 2010, is 34 Unidades de Fomento (as of April 30, 2011, approximately CLP738 thousand) per assistance to directors committee meeting plus the amount required to complete the remaining third of the remuneration of a regular director. The same remuneration package was approved for 2011, at the shareholders’ meeting of the company held on April 15, 2011.

The activities of the directors committee, the annual report of the performance of its duties and its expenses, including its advisors’ expenses, shall be included in the annual report and conveyed to the shareholders. The budget of our directors committee and its advisors, approved at the shareholders’ meeting of the company held on April 20, 2010, shall be equal to the aggregate amount of the annual remuneration of the committee members.

Audit Committee. In accordance with provisions of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 applicable to us as a foreign private issuer with securities listed on a U.S. national exchange, the company has an Audit Committee.

In the session held on February 3, 2010, our board of directors agreed to increase from three to four the number of members of the audit committee, and to appoint Mr. Philippe Pasquet as the fourth member. Therefore, the current members of our audit committee are Messrs. Giorgio Maschietto, Carlos Olivos, Alberto Sobredo and Philippe Pasquet, all of them meet the independence criteria contained in the Exchange Act and the NYSE Rule.

The duties of the audit committee are:

· To be responsible for the hiring, remuneration and supervision of the work of public accounting firms hired to prepare or issue audit reports or review or certify such reports. The external auditors shall report directly to the audit committee regarding such matters.

· Resolve disputes that arise between our administration and the external auditors with regard to financial reports.

· Grant approval prior to the contracting of non-audit services provided by the external auditors.

· Establish a procedure for receiving and responding to complaints received with regard to accounting, accounting controls or other auditing matters whereby employees may anonymously and confidentially report their concerns related to these matters.

· Establish an annual budget for expenses and hiring of external consultants.

The audit committee meets regularly and also holds meetings with our managers, our comptroller, and our internal and external auditors in order to discuss a variety of topics related to its duties.

Employees

##### Chile

As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, we had a total of 4,419, 4,375 and 4,454 permanent employees in Chile, respectively. As of December 2010, 2,319 were represented by 41 labor unions. The average tenure of our permanent employees was approximately eight years.

80

Table of Contents

The following table shows the breakdown of our employees by business segments:

Business | 2008 | 2009 | 2010
Beer | 729 | 705 | 655
Non-alcoholic beverages | 873 | 824 | 887
Wine (*) | 978 | 960 | 1,118
Transportes CCU | 734 | 794 | 817
Others (**) | 1,105 | 1,092 | 1,093
Total | 4,419 | 4,375 | 4,570
( *) Wine includes FLC personnel (**) Includes our corporate, pisco, plastic and Comercial CCU divisions.

Unionized employees represent approximately 53% of our total permanent workforce. Our management believes it generally has a good relationship with the labor unions representing our employees.

During 2010, 2,010 employees renewed their collective contracts, most of them for a period of two years. The contract renewals are expected to increase the unionized workforce costs between 2.5% and 3.0%.

All employees who are terminated for reasons other than misconduct are entitled by law to receive a severance payment. In the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, we made severance payments in the amounts of CLP3,018 million, CLP4,540 million and CLP2,021 million, respectively. Permanent employees are entitled to the basic payment, as required by law, of one month’s salary for each year, or six-month portion thereof, worked. This condition is subject to a limitation of a total payment of no more than 11 months’ pay for employees hired after August 14, 1981. Severance payments to employees hired before August 14, 1981 are not subject to this limitation. Our employees who are subject to collective bargaining agreements have a contractual benefit to receive a payment in case of resignation, consisting of a payment of one monthly base salary for each full year worked, not subject to a limitation on the total amount payable but subject to a limitation on the total number of employees who can claim the severance benefit during any one year. In 2010, we laid off 407 employees.

We do not maintain any pension fund or retirement program for our employees. Workers in Chile are subject to a national pension fund law which establishes a system of independent pension plans, administered by Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones (“AFPs”). We have no liability for the performance of the pension plans or any pension payments to be made to the employees.

In addition to our permanent work force, as of December 31, 2010, we had 434 temporary employees, who were hired for specific time periods to satisfy short-term needs.

Argentina

a) Beer Business

As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, we had a total of 822, 867 and 920 permanent employees, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, 538 employees were represented by one labor union, which is member of the Argentine Beer Workers Federation (Federación Argentina de Trabajadores Cerveceros y Afines or “FATCA”). As of December 31, 2009, the average tenure of our employees in Argentina was approximately nine years. The 6% growth of our staff as of December 2010 is due to the hiring of a larger number of sales people to increase our direct sales.

Collective bargaining in Argentina is done on an industry-wide basis, rather than, as in Chile, on a company-by-company basis.

In Argentina, as in Chile, all employees who are terminated for reasons other than misconduct are entitled by law to receive a severance payment. We made severance payments in connection with our Argentine beer operations in the amounts of CLP229 million, CLP209 million and CLP272 million in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. According to the Argentine Labor Law, employees who joined us before October 1998 are entitled to the basic payment as required by law of one month’s salary for each year or fraction thereof worked. This monthly amount cannot exceed three times the average monthly salary established under the applicable collective bargaining agreement and cannot be less than the equivalent of two monthly salaries of the employee.

In addition to our permanent work force, as of December 31, 2010, we had 266 temporary employees, who were hired for specific time periods to satisfy short-term needs.

b) Wine Business

As of December 31, 2010, FLC and Bodega Tamarí , the Argentine subsidiaries of VSPT, had a total of 116 and 34 permanent employees, respectively, 79 of which were represented by one labor union. FLC has the majority of the employees (116). The average tenure of our employees was approximately four years. In addition to our permanent work force in FLC, we had 22 temporary employees, who were hired for specific time periods to satisfy short-term needs.

All shareholders have equal voting rights. Non-Chileans can also hold shares in custody of private banks, however this information is not publicly available, thus those custodians are part of the seven non-chilean shareholders.

Related Party Transactions

T he Chilean Corporations Act was amended by Law N°20.382, effective January 1, 2010, regarding, among others, related party transactions. The 2010 amendment introduced a new Chapter XVI for open stock corporations and its subsidiaries while dispositions of articles 44, 89 and 93 remain applicable only to closed corporations which are not subsidiaries of an open stock corporation.

Pursuant to Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act referred to above, a related party transaction shall be any and all negotiation, agreement or operation between the open stock corporation and any one of the following:

· One or more related persons pursuant to the Securities Market Law;

· A director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer or liquidator of the company, personally or acting on behalf of a person other than the company, or their respective spouses or close relatives (e.g. parents, father/mother in law, sisters, brothers, sisters/brothers in law);

· Company or concern in which the persons referred to in b) are the owners, directly or indirectly through any other individual or corporation, of 10% or more of its capital; or of which any of the persons in b) are a director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer thereof;

· Those contemplated by the bylaws or upon sufficient grounds determined by the directors committee, as the case may be, which can include subsidiaries that the company owns, directly or indirectly, at least 95% of its equity or capital stock;

· Those in which the office of director, manager, administrator, principal executive officer o liquidator has been held by a director, manager administrator, principal executive officer or liquidator of the company within the prior 18 moths.

Pursuant to the 2010 amendment, the following persons are currently considered under the Securities Market Law to be related persons:

· any entities within the financial conglomerate to which the company belongs;

· corporate entities that have, with respect to us, the character of parent company, affiliated companies or subsidiary. Parent companies are those that control directly or indirectly more than 50% of the subsidiary’s voting stock (or participation, in the case of business organizations other than stock companies), or that may otherwise elect or appoint, or cause the election or appointment, of the majority of the directors or officers. Limited partnerships (sociedades en comandita) may likewise be a subsidiary of a corporation, whenever the latter has the power to direct or guide the administration of the general partner (gestor) thereof. For these purposes, affiliated companies are those where one of them, without actually controlling the other, owns directly or indirectly 10% or more of the latter’s voting stock (or equity, in the case of business organizations other than stock companies), or that may otherwise elect or appoint, or cause the election or appointment of at least one board member or manager;

· persons who are directors, managers, administrators, principal executive officers or liquidators of us, and their spouses or their close relatives (i.e., parents, father/mother in law, sisters, brothers, sisters/brothers in law); as well as any other entity controlled by, directly or indirectly, any one of the above; and

83

Table of Contents

· any person who, whether acting alone or in agreement with others, may appoint at least one member of our management or controls 10% or more of our voting capital.

The SVS may presume that any individual or corporate entity is related to a company if, because of relationships of equity, administration, kinship, responsibility or subordination, the person:

· whether acting alone or in agreement with others, has sufficient voting power to influence the company’s management;

· creates conflicts of interest in doing business with the company;

· in the case of a corporate entity, is influenced in its management by the company; or

· holds an employment or position which affords the person access to non-public information about the company and its business, which renders the person capable of influencing the value of the company’s securities.

However, a person shall not be considered to be related to a company by the mere fact of owning up to 5% of the company, or if the person is only an employee of the company without managerial responsibilities.

Additionally, pursuant to article 147 of Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act, an open stock corporation shall only be entitled to enter into a related party transaction when it is in the interest of and to the benefit of the company, has a fair price, terms and conditions to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval and comply with the requirements and procedures stated below:

1.- The directors, managers, administrators, principal executive officers or liquidators that have an interest or that take part in negotiations conducive to the execution of an operation with a related party of the open-stock corporation, shall report it immediately to the board of directors or whom the board designates. Those who breach this obligation will be jointly liable for damages caused to the company and its shareholders.

2.- Prior to the company’s consent to a related party transaction, it must be approved by the absolute majority of the members of the board of directors, with exclusion of the interested directors or liquidators, who nevertheless shall make public his/their opinion with respect to the transaction if it is so requested by the board of directors, which opinion shall be set forth in the minutes of the meeting. Likewise, the grounds of the decision and the reasons for excluding such directors from its adoption must also be recorded in the minutes.

3.- The resolutions of the board of directors approving a related party transaction shall be reported to the next following shareholders' meeting, including a reference to the directors who approved such transaction. A reference to the transaction is to be included in the notice of the respective shareholders' meeting.

4.- In the event that an absolute majority of the members of the board of directors should abstain from voting, the related party transaction shall only be executed if it is approved by the unanimous vote of the members of the board of directors not involved in such transaction, or if it is approved in a shareholders' extraordinary meeting by two thirds of the voting shares of the company.

5.- If a shareholders' extraordinary meeting is called to approve the transaction, the board of directors shall appoint at least one independent advisor who shall report to the shareholders the terms of the transaction, its effects and the potential impact for the company. In the report, the independent advisor shall include all the matters or issues the directors' committee may have expressly requested to be evaluated. The directors' committee of the company or in the absence of such committee, directors not involved in the transaction, shall be entitled to appoint an additional independent advisor, in the event they disagree with the appointment made by the board.

The reports of the independent advisors shall be made available to the shareholders by the board on the business day immediately following their receipt by the company, at the company’s business offices and on its internet site, for a period of at least 15 business days from the date the last report was received from the independent advisor, and such arrangement shall be communicated to the shareholders by means of a “Relevant Fact.”

The opinions of the directors shall be made available to the shareholders the day after they were received by the company, at the business offices of the company as well as on its internet site, and such arrangement shall be reported by the company as a “Relevant Fact.”

7.- Notwithstanding the applicable sanctions, any infringement of the above provisions will not affect the validity of the transaction, but it will grant the company or the shareholders the right to sue the related party involved in the transaction for reimbursement to the company of a sum equivalent to the benefits that the operation reported to the counterpart involved in the transaction, as well as indemnity for damages incurred. In this case, the defendant bears the burden of proof that the transaction complies with the requirements and procedures referred to above.

Notwithstanding the above, the following related party transactions may be executed without complying with the requirements and procedures above stated, prior authorization by the board:

1.- Transactions that do not involve a “material amount.” For this purpose, any transaction that is both greater than 2,000 Unidades de Fomento (as of April 30, 2011, approximately ThCLP43,423) and in excess 1% of the corporation’s equity, or involving an amount in excess of 20,000 Unidades de Fomento (as of April 30, 2011, approximately ThCLP434,231) shall be deemed to involve a material amount. All transactions executed within a 12 month period that are similar or complementary to each other, with identical parties, including related parties, or objects, shall be deemed to be a single transaction.

2.- Transactions that pursuant to the company’s policy of usual practice as determined by its board of directors, are in the ordinary course of business of the company. Any agreement or resolution establishing or amending such policies shall be communicated as a “Relevant Fact” and made available to shareholders at the company’s business offices and on its internet site, and the transaction shall be reported as a “Relevant Fact,” if applicable.

3.- Transactions between legal entities in which the company possesses, directly or indirectly, at least 95% of the equity of the counterpart.

In the ordinary course of business, we engage in a variety of transactions with some of our affiliates and related parties. Financial information concerning these transactions is set forth in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.

Our corporate support units and strategic service units provide shared services to all the organization through service level agreements. Shared services are provided in a centralized manner to capture the synergies between the different units. Service level agreements are annual contracts specifying the services to be provided as well as the variables used to measure the levels of service and their prices. Service levels are evaluated directly by users three times a year.

Additionally, our logistic subsidiaries Transportes CCU Ltda. and Comercial CCU S.A. provide transportation warehousing and sales services on a consolidated basis to all of our strategic business units. These services are regulated by annual contracts specifying the services to be provided as well as the variables used to measure the levels of service and their prices.

We engage in a variety of transactions with affiliates of the Luksic Group and Heineken, the beneficial owners of IRSA, as well as with other shareholders of ours. Currently, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda., a Chilean limited corporation controlled by Heineken Americas B.V. are the only shareholders of IRSA, each with a 50% equity interest See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Organizational Structure.”

On November 30, 2005, we and Heineken International signed new versions of the license and technical assistance agreements which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years beginning in June 2003, renewable for subsequent periods of five years. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Beer Business in Chile – Beer Production and Marketing in Chile” and “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Beer Business in Argentina – Beer Production and Marketing in Argentina.”

Also subject to the above license agreements, o n April 24, 2006, through our subsidiary CCU Chile, we signed a brewing agreement with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., which provides us with the right to produce and package Heineken lager at our local brewery and for its sale and distribution in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador by Heineken’s appointed Distributor. This agreement commenced on April 24, 2006 for one year renewable annually.

Dividend Policy and Dividends

Our dividend policy is reviewed and established from time to time by our board of directors and reported to our regular shareholders’ meeting, which is generally held in April of each year. Each year our board of directors must submit its proposal for a final dividend for the preceding year for shareholder approval at the annual shareholders’ meeting. As required by the Chilean Corporations Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of the issued shares of our common stock, we must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of our net income for that year, after deducting any accumulated losses from previous years. Our board of directors has the authority to pay interim dividends during any one fiscal year, to be charged to the earnings for that year.

Our board of directors announced at our annual shareholders’ meeting held on April 15, 2011, its dividend policy for future periods, authorizing the distribution of cash dividends in an amount at least equal to 50% of our liquid profits under IFRS for the previous year. Our dividend policy is subject to change in the future due to changes in Chilean law, capital requirements, economic results and/or other factors. During our last annual shareholders’ meeting held on April 15, 2011, a dividend of CLP115,78103 per share of common stock was approved, in addition to the interim dividend of CLP58 per share of common stock distributed in January 7, 2011. Together, these dividend payments amounted to CLP55,350 million, representing 50.0% of 2010 the Income of the Year Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent Company.

Dividends are paid to shareholders of record as of the fifth business day, including Saturdays, preceding the date set for payment of the dividend. The holders of ADRs on the applicable record dates are entitled to dividends declared for each corresponding period.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interim and final dividends and the aggregate of such dividends per share of common stock and per ADS in respect of each of the years indicated:

Year ended December 31, | Interim | CLP Per share (1) Final (3) | Total | Interim | US$ Per ADS (2) Final (3) | Total
2006 | 35.00 | 77.62 | 112.62 | 0.32 | 0.74 | 1.06
2007 | 47.00 | 102.20 | 149.20 | 0.48 | 1.13 | 1.61
2008 | 47.00 | 108.66 | 155.66 | 0.38 | 0.90 | 1.29
2009 | 60.00 | 141.00 | 201.00 | 0.61 | 1.35 | 1.96
2010 | 58.00 | 115.78 | 173.78 | 0.58 | 1.25 | 1.83

(1) Interim and final dividend amounts are expressed in historical pesos.

(2) U.S. dollars per ADR dividend information serves reference purposes only as we pay all dividends in Chilean pesos. The Chilean peso amounts as shown here have been converted into U.S. dollars at the respective observed exchange rate in effect at each payment date. Note: The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.

(3) The final dividend with respect to each year is declared and paid within the first five months of the subsequent year.

Pursuant to former Chapter XXVI of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations, replaced by Chapter XIV, a shareholder who was not a resident of Chile had to register as a foreign investor in order to have access to the Formal Exchange Market for remitting abroad any dividends, sales proceeds or other amounts accruing from shares in a Chilean company. See “Item 10: Additional Information – Exchange Controls – General Legislation and Regulations.” Under our foreign investment contract, the depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, will be granted access to the formal exchange market to convert cash dividends from pesos to dollars and to pay such dollars to ADR holders outside of Chile. Dividends received in respect of shares of

Common Stock by holders, including holders of ADRs who are not Chilean residents, are subject to Chilean withholding tax. See “Item 10: Additional Information – Taxation.”

Memorandum and Articles of Association

Provided below is a summary of certain material information found in our bylaws and provisions of Chilean law. This summary is not exhaustive. For more information relating to the items discussed in this summary, the reader is encouraged to read our updated bylaws, available in our website at www.ccu.cl.

Registration and corporate purposes. We are a public corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized by means of a public deed dated January 8, 1902, executed before the notary public of Valparaíso, Mr. Pedro Flores, and our existence was approved by Supreme Decree N° 889 of the Treasury Department, dated March 19, 1902, both of which were recorded on the reverse of folio 49, N° 45 of Valparaíso’s Registry of Commerce for 1902, and published in Chile’s Official Gazette on March 24, 1902. We are recorded on March 8, 1982, at Chile’s Securities Registry of the SVS under N° 0007.

The last amendment to our articles of association, which moved the domicile of the corporation from Valparaíso to Santiago City, and the complete, revised and updated text of the corporation’s bylaws were set forth in a public deed dated 4 June 2001, executed before the notary public of Valparaíso, María Ester Astorga, an extract of which was recorded on the reverse of folio 474 N° 363 of the Valparaíso Registry of Commerce for 2001, published in the Official Gazette on June 13, 2001, and recorded at the Registry of Commerce of Santiago on folio 18.149, N° 14.600 for the year 2001.

Under Article 4 of our bylaws, the corporation’s principal purpose is to produce, manufacture and market alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, to manufacture containers and packaging, and to provide transportation services, among other businesses.

Directors. Under the Chilean law regarding corporations (the “Chilean Corporations Act”), a corporation may not enter into a contract or agreement in which a director has a direct or indirect interest without prior approval by the board of directors, and then only if it inures to the benefit of the company, is terms and conditions similar to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval, and complies with the requirements and procedures stated in Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporation Act regarding Related Party Transactions. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

The amount of any director’s remuneration is established each year by the annual shareholders’ meeting. Directors are forbidden, unless previously and duly authorized thereto by the board of directors, to borrow or otherwise make use of corporate money or assets for their own benefit or that of their spouses, certain relatives or related persons. These rules can only be modified by law.

It is not necessary to hold shares to be elected director, and there is no age limit established for the retirement of directors.

Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares. At least 30% of our net profits for each fiscal year is required to be distributed as dividend in cash to our shareholders, unless our shareholders unanimously decide otherwise. Any remaining profits may be used to establish a reserve fund (that may be capitalized at any time, amending the corporate bylaws by the vote of a majority of the voting stock issued), or to pay future dividends.

Compulsory minimum dividends, i.e., at least thirty percent of our net profits for each fiscal year, become due thirty days after the date on which the annual shareholders' meeting has approved the distribution of profits in the fiscal year. Any additional dividends approved by our shareholders become due on the date set by our shareholders or our board of directors.

91

Table of Contents

Accrued dividends that corporations fail to pay or make available to their shareholders within certain periods are to be adjusted from the date on which those dividends became due and that of actual payment. Overdue dividends will accrue yearly interest established for adjustable operations over the same period.

Dividends and other cash benefits unclaimed by shareholders after five years from the date on which they became due will become the property of the Chilean Fire Department.

We have only one class of shares and there are therefore no preferences or limitations on the voting rights of shareholders. Each of our shareholders is entitled to one vote per share. In annual shareholders’ meetings, resolutions are made by a simple majority of those present, provided legal quorums are met. A special or extraordinary meeting generally requires an absolute majority, in other words, 50% plus one of the shares entitled to vote; however, the Chilean Corporations Act provides that in order to carry certain motions, a two thirds majority of the outstanding voting stock is necessary.

Our directors are elected every three years and their terms are not staggered. Our shareholders may accumulate their votes in favor of just one person or distribute their votes to more than one person. In addition, by unanimous agreement of our shareholders present and entitled to vote, the vote may be omitted and the election made by acclamation.

In the event of liquidation, the Chilean Corporations Act provides that corporations may carry out distributions to shareholders on account of a reimbursement of capital only after the payment of corporate indebtedness.

There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to us, nor are there any liabilities to our shareholders relating to future capital calls by us.

Under Chilean law, certain provisions affect any existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of the shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. The Securities Market Law, as modified by the 2010 amendment, establishes that (a) any person who, directly or indirectly, owns 10% or more of the subscribed capital of an open stock corporation (the “majority shareholders”) or that, as a consequence of an acquisition of shares, attains such percentage, and (b) as well as directors, liquidators, principal executive officers, administrators and managers of such corporations, regardless of the number of shares they possess, either directly or indirectly, must report any purchase or sale of shares to the SVS and to each of the stock exchanges in Chile where such corporation has securities listed, the day immediately following the execution of the transaction, through the technological means authorized by the SVS. This obligation shall also apply to the acquisition or sale of contracts or securities, the price or result of which is dependant on or is conditioned by, in whole or in a relevant part, to the fluctuation or evolution of the price of such shares. In addition, majority shareholders must inform the SVS and the stock exchanges with respect to whether the purchase is aimed at acquiring control of the corporation or just as a financial investment.

The Securities Market Law also provides that when one or more persons intend to take over a corporation subject to oversight by the SVS, they must give prior public notice. This notice must include the price to be offered per share and the conditions of the proposed transaction, including the expected manner of acquiring the shares.

Finally, Chapter XXV of the Securities Market Law was enacted on December 20, 2000, to ensure that controlling shareholders share with minority shareholders the benefits of a change of control, by requiring that certain share acquisitions be made pursuant to a tender offer.

Article 199 bis of the Securities Market Law was introduced by the 2010 amendment, extending the obligation to make a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares to any person, or group of persons with a joint performance agreement, that, as a consequence of the acquisition of shares, becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the issued shares with voting rights of a corporation. Such tender offer must be effected within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.

92

Table of Contents

The Chilean Corporations Act provides shareholders with preemptive rights. The Act requires that options to purchase stock representing capital increases in corporations and debentures duly convertible into stock of the issuing corporation, or any other securities extending future rights over such stock, must be offered preferably, at least once, to existing shareholders, in proportion to the number of shares owned by them. A corporation must distribute any bonus stock in the same manner.

The Chilean Corporations Act also provides shareholders with the right to withdraw from a corporation in certain situations. Unless there is an ongoing bankruptcy proceeding, if a shareholders’ meeting approves any of the following matters, as modified by the 2010 amendment, dissenting shareholders will be automatically entitled to withdraw from the corporation upon payment by the corporation of the market value of their shares:

· our transformation into a different type of legal entity,

· our merger with and/or into another company,

· the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage; the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status as controller

· the granting of real or personal guarantees to secure third party obligations exceeding 50% of the corporate assets, except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice)

· the creation of preferences for a series of shares or the increase, extension or reduction in the already existing ones. In this case, only dissenting shareholders of the affected series shall have the right to withdraw,

· curing certain formal defects in the corporate charter which otherwise would render it null and void or any modification of its bylaws that should grant this right, and

· other cases provided for by statute or in our bylaws, if any.

In addition, shareholders may withdraw if a person becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation as a consequence of a share acquisition and such person does not make a tender offer for the remaining shares within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.

Minority shareholders are also granted the right to withdraw when the controlling shareholder acquires more than 95% of the shares of an open stock corporation.

Our bylaws do not provide for additional circumstances under which shareholders may withdraw.

Action necessary to change the rights of holders of stock. Rights of stockholders are established by law and pursuant to the bylaws of a corporation. For certain modifications of shareholders’ rights, the law requires a special majority, such as the creation, increase, extension, reduction or suppression of preferred stock, which may be adopted only with the consent of at least two-thirds of the affected series. Consequently any other impairment of rights not specifically regulated needs only an absolute majority (more than 50%) of the stock entitled to vote. However, the waiver of the shareholders’ right to receive no less than 30% of the net profits accrued in any fiscal year (the “minimum dividend”) requires the unanimous vote of all stockholders. The above notwithstanding, no decision of the shareholders’ meeting can deprive a shareholder of any part of the stock that he owns.

Our bylaws do not contemplate additional conditions in connection with matters described in this subsection.

Shareholders’ meetings. Our annual shareholders' meetings are to be held during the first four months of each year. During the meetings, determinations are made relating to particular matters, which matters may or may not be specifically indicated in the summons for such meeting.

93

Table of Contents

The quorum for a shareholders' meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least an absolute majority of our issued voting stock; if a quorum is not present at the first meeting, the meeting can be reconvened and upon the meeting being reconvened, shareholders present at the reconvened meeting are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the voting stock represented. In that case, decisions will be made by the absolute majority of stock with voting rights present or otherwise represented. The following matters are specifically reserved for annual meetings:

· review of our state of affairs and of the reports of external auditors, and the approval or rejection of the annual report, balance sheet, financial statements and records submitted by our officers or liquidators;

· distribution of profits of the respective fiscal year, including the distribution of dividends;

· election or revocation of regular and alternate board members, liquidators and external auditors; and

· determination of the remuneration of the board members, directors committee remuneration and budget, designation of the newspaper were summons for meetings shall be published and, in general, any other matter to be dealt with by the annual meeting being of corporate interest and not specifically reserved to extraordinary shareholders' meetings.

Extraordinary shareholders' meetings may be held at any time, when required by corporate necessity. During extraordinary meetings, determinations are made relating to any matter which the law or the Company's bylaws reserve for consideration by such extraordinary meetings, which matters shall be expressly set forth in the relevant summon. Whenever in an extraordinary shareholders' meeting determinations relating to matters specifically reserved to annual meetings must be made, the operation and decisions of such extraordinary meeting will follow the requirements applicable to annual meetings. The following matters, as modified by 2010 amendment, are specifically reserved for extraordinary meetings:

· dissolution of the corporation;

· transformation, merger or spin-off of the corporation and amendments to its bylaws;

· issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into stock;

· the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage, the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status of controlling shareholder; and

· guarantees of third parties' obligations, except when these third parties are subsidiary companies (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice).

In addition to the above, annual and extraordinary shareholders' meetings must be called by the board of directors in the following circumstances:

· when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of issued stock with voting rights; and

· when required by the SVS, notwithstanding its right to call such meeting directly.

Only holders of stock recorded in the Register of Shareholders of open stock corporations at least five business days, including Saturdays, before the date of the pertinent meeting may participate with the right to be heard and vote in shareholders' meetings. Directors and officers other than shareholders may participate in shareholders' meetings with the right to be heard.

Shareholders may be represented at meetings by other individuals, regardless of whether or not those persons are shareholders themselves. A proxy must be conferred in writing, and for the total number of shares held by the shareholder and entitled to vote in accordance with the previous paragraph.

Limitations on the right to own securities. The right to own any kind of property is guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution, and the Chilean Corporations Act does not contain any general limitation regarding the right to own securities. There are, however, certain limitations on the right of foreigners to own securities of Chilean corporations, but only for certain special types of companies. We are not affected by these limitations, and our bylaws do not contain limitations or restrictions in this regard.

94

Table of Contents

Article 14 of the Chilean Corporations Act forbids public corporations from including in their bylaws any provisions restricting the free transferability of stock. However, shareholders may enter into a private agreement on this matter, but, in order for these agreements to be effective against the company and third parties, they must be recorded by the corporation and thus made available to any interested third parties. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Directors and Senior Management.”

Takeover defenses. Our bylaws do not contain any provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us (or any of our subsidiaries).

Ownership threshold. Our bylaws do not contain any ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. For a description of the ownership thresholds mandated by Chilean law, see “– Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares.”

Our bylaws do not impose any conditions that are more stringent than those required by law for effecting changes in our capital.

Material Contracts

Not applicable.

Exchange Controls

General Legislation and Regulations. The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. See “Item 3. Key Information – Selected Financial Data – Exchange Rate.” Foreign investments can be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee under Decree Law No. 600 –registration which grants the investor access to the Formal Exchange Market– or with the Central Bank of Chile under Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations.

Effective April 19, 2001, the Central Bank of Chile abrogated the then existing Chapter XXVI of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations (“Chapter XXVI”), which addressed issuance of ADSs by a Chilean company, and issued an entirely new set of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the April 19th Regulations”), virtually eliminating all the restrictions and limitations that had been in force up to that date. The April 19th Regulations were based upon the general principle that foreign exchange transactions can be made freely in Chile by any person, notwithstanding the power conferred by law to the Central Bank of Chile of imposing certain restrictions and limitations to such transactions.

With the issuance of the above Regulations, the approval by the Central Bank of Chile required for access to the Formal Exchange Market was replaced with the requirement of disclosure of the relevant transactions to the Central Bank of Chile. However, some foreign exchange transactions, notably foreign loans, capital investment or deposits, continued to be subject to the requirement of being effected through the Formal Exchange Market. The April 19th Regulations reduced the time needed to effect foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors in Chile.

The April 19th Regulations, among others, eliminated the following restrictions:

· prior authorization by the Central Bank of Chile for the entry of capital in connection with foreign loans, investment, capital contribution, bonds and ADRs;

· prior authorization by the Central Bank of Chile for the remittance of capital in connection with repatriation of capital, dividends and other benefits related to capital contributions and investment, and prepayment of foreign loans;

· minimum risk classification restrictions and terms for the issuance of bonds;

95

Table of Contents

· restrictions on the issuance of ADRs. Therefore, the rules established under Chapter XXVI of the previous Foreign Exchange Regulations are no longer applicable; and

· Mandatory Reserve deposits for foreign capitals.

According to these Regulations, foreign exchange transactions performed before April 19, 2001, remain subject to the regulations in effect at the time of the transactions (i.e. Chapter XXVI), unless the interested parties elected the applicability of the April 19th Regulations, thereby expressly waiving the applicability of the regulations in force at the time of the execution of the respective transaction.

On January 23, 2002, the Central Bank of Chile issued an entirely new set of Foreign Exchange Regulations, effective as from March 1, 2002, replacing April 19th Regulations (“The New Rules”). The New Rules preserve the general principle established in the April 19th Regulations of freedom in foreign exchange transactions, simplified procedures to reduce the time needed to effect foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors in Chile, and introduced several new provisions.

Pursuant to the New Rules, Chilean entities are now allowed, under Chapter XIV, which governs credits, deposits, investments and capital contribution from abroad, to:(i) dispose of such foreign currency allocated abroad, executing any of the transactions contemplated in Chapter XIV, without the need of delivering it into Chile, subject to the obligation of reporting said transaction to the Central Bank of Chile; and (ii) capitalize any liability expressed in foreign currency and acquired abroad.

According to the New Rules, foreign exchange transactions made pursuant to Chapter XIV, executed before April 19, 2001, shall continue to be subject to the regulations in effect at the time of the transactions, unless the interested parties elect the applicability of the New Rules, expressly waiving the applicability of the provisions which would otherwise govern them.

Notwithstanding the above, foreign exchange transactions contemplated in Chapter XIV, executed before March 1, 2002 according to the regulations of the Central Bank of Chile in force at the time of their execution, may be reported to the Central Bank pursuant to the provisions contained in the New Rules.

Therefore, notwithstanding the April 19th Regulations and the New Rules, Chapter XXVI remains in force with respect to our ADR facility, as referred to below.

Our ADRs. A Foreign Investment Contract was entered into among the Central Bank of Chile, us and the Depositary pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and Chapter XXVI. See “– General Legislation and Regulations.”. According to Chilean law, a contract is ruled by the law in force at the time of its execution. Therefore, our Foreign Investment Contract is ruled by the foreign exchange regulations in force before April 19, 2001, among which is Chapter XXVI. Absent the Foreign Investment Contract, under Chilean exchange controls in force until April 19, 2001, investors would not have been granted access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purpose of converting Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars and repatriating from Chile amounts received in respect of deposited Shares or Shares withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying Shares and any rights with respect thereto). In December 1999, amendments were introduced to Chapter XXVI whereby, among other things, the Central Bank of Chile was authorized to reject applications under such regulations without expression of cause. In reviewing such applications, the Central Bank of Chile was required to take into account the situation of the balance of payments and the stability of the capital account. However, the Central Bank of Chile was authorized to impose certain conditions on the applicants prior to resolving the applications. In April 2000, Chapter XXVI was again amended in order to incorporate, in addition to shares issued by Chilean corporations, quotes of investment funds as eligible to be converted into ADSs. Chapter XXVI did not require delivery of a new application in case of the entry of U.S. dollars intended for the acquisition of shares not subscribed by the shareholders or by the transferees of the options to subscribe the shares.

Table of Contents

Under Chapter XXVI and our Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant to the Depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any non-Chilean resident investor who withdrew Shares of our common stock upon surrender of ADRs (such Shares being referred to herein as “Withdrawn Shares”) access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars (and to remit such dollars outside of Chile) in respect of Shares of our common stock represented by ADSs or Withdrawn Shares, including amounts received as (a) cash dividends, (b) proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares (subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the holder of the Withdrawn Shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) that such holder’s residence and domicile were outside Chile and a certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or securities firm established in Chile) that such Withdrawn Shares had been sold on a Chilean exchange), (c) proceeds from the sale in Chile of pre-emptive rights to subscribe for and purchase additional Shares of our common stock, (d) proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of the Company and (e) other distributions, including, without limitation, those resulting from any recapitalization, as a result of holding Shares represented by ADSs or Withdrawn Shares. Access to the Formal Exchange Market in the case of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above would be available for only five working days following the sale of the shares on the stock exchange. Transferees of Withdrawn Shares would not be entitled to any of the foregoing rights under Chapter XXVI unless the Withdrawn Shares were redeposited with the Custodian. Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for ADRs would have the right to redeposit such Shares in exchange for ADRs, provided that certain conditions to redeposit were satisfied. For a description of the Formal Exchange Market, see “Item 3: Key Information – Selected Financial Data – Exchange Rates.” Alternatively, according to the amendments introduced to Chapter XXVI in December 1999, in case of Withdrawn Shares and their subsequent sale on a stock exchange, the Chilean peso proceeds obtained thereby could be converted into U.S. dollars in a market different from the Formal Exchange Market within five business days from the date of the sale.

Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares or distributions thereon would be conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certification by the Depositary or the Custodian, as the case might have been, that such Shares had been withdrawn in exchange for delivery of the pertinent ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the benefits of our Foreign Investment Contract with respect thereto (except in connection with the proposed sale of the Shares) until such Withdrawn Shares were redeposited. Chapter XXVI also provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments was conditioned on certification by us to the Central Bank of Chile that a dividend payment had been made. The provision contained in Chapter XXVI that established that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments was conditioned on certification by us to the Central Bank of Chile that any applicable tax had been withheld was eliminated on November 23, 2000.

Chapter XXVI and our Foreign Investment Contract provided that a person who brought foreign currency into Chile, including U.S. dollars, to purchase Shares entitled to the benefit of our Foreign Investment Contract was required to convert such foreign currency into Chilean pesos on the same date and had five banking business days within which to invest in Shares in order to receive the benefit of our Foreign Investment Contract. If such person decided within such period not to acquire Shares, such person could access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire foreign currency, provided that the applicable request was presented to the Central Bank of Chile within seven banking days of the initial conversion into pesos. Shares acquired as described above could be deposited in exchange for ADRs and receive the benefit of our Foreign Investment Contract, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the Depositary that such deposit had been effected and that the related ADRs had been issued and receipt by the Custodian of a declaration from the person making such deposit waiving the benefit of our Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited Shares.

Chapter XXVI required foreign investors acquiring shares or securities in Chile to maintain a mandatory reserve (the “Mandatory Reserve”) for one year in the form of a non-interest bearing U.S. dollar deposit with the Central Bank, or to pay to the Central Bank a non-refundable fee (the “Fee”). Such reserve requirement was imposed with respect to investments made by foreign investors to acquire shares or securities in the secondary market, but did not apply to capital contributions made for purposes of paying-in capital for a newly created company or increasing the capital of an existing company. As of June 1, 1999, the Mandatory Reserve was not applied to foreign investments made for purposes of acquiring shares of a stock corporation, provided that the investor was entitled to the benefit of Chapter XXVI, and that such acquisition was consummated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XXVI. On September 17, 1998, the Central Bank of Chile reduced the Mandatory Reserve to 0%.

Table of Contents

Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above was not automatic. Pursuant to Chapter XXVI, such access required approval of the Central Bank of Chile based on a request therefore presented through a banking institution established in Chile within five business days from the occurrence of any of the events described in letters (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. Pursuant to our Foreign Investment Contract, if the Central Bank of Chile had not acted on such request within seven banking days, the request would be deemed approved.

In 2009, the Central Bank of Chile adopted a new policy regarding the surrender of ADR’s in exchange for underlying shares, acquired by Chilean companies in joint tender offers, effected both in the national and the international stock market, which have been declared successful.

Pursuant to such policy, the depositary or custodian shall be entitled to effect such exchange, prior to the end of the term of the ADRs Program, subject to the following conditions:

a) Simultaneously with the request for approval submitted to the Central Bank of Chile, the parties to a foreign investment contract shall agree on its termination provided that the following prior conditions are meet: (i) a complete and timely exchange of the outstanding ADRs has been effected by the depositary (ii) underlying shares of certificates not exchanged according to the program agreed upon to that end are sold in a Chilean stock market, and the proceeds remitted to the respective ADRs holders; complying with the reporting obligation to the regulatory authorities and to the market in general.

b) The foreign investment contract shall be deemed in full force and effect with respect to the remaining ADR holders, with domicile and residence abroad, until certificates of the fulfillment of such conditions issued by the custodian and the depositary are submitted to the Central Bank of Chile. In addition to the Termination Agreement, a public deed expressly evidencing the above shall be executed by the parties.

The Chilean investor shall be subject to the exchange regulations in force at the time of the tender offers as well as the terms of authorization issued by the Central Bank of Chile to this end.

Under current Chilean law, our foreign investment contract cannot be amended unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile. We cannot assure you, however, that new restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of underlying Shares or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will not be reinstated in the future by the Central Bank of Chile, nor can there be any assessment of the possible duration or impact of such restrictions.

Taxation

Chilean Tax Considerations

The following discussion is based on certain Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Rulings N°324 of January 29, 1990, and N°3708 of October 1, 1999 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service and other applicable regulations and rulings. The discussion summarizes the principal Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or shares of common stock by an individual who is not domiciled in or a resident of Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment located in Chile which we refer to as a foreign holder. For purposes of Chilean law, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six consecutive months in one calendar year or for a total of more than six months, whether consecutive or not, in two consecutive tax years. An individual holder is domiciled in Chile if he or she resides in Chile with the purpose of staying in Chile (such purpose to be evidenced by circumstances such as the acceptance of employment within Chile or the relocation of his or her family to Chile). This discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation. Neither is it intended to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of shares or ADSs and does address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to specific holders in light of their particular circumstances. Holders of shares and ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Chilean or other tax consequences relating to the ownership of shares or ADSs.

98

Table of Contents

Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign holders, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities issue rulings and regulations of either general or specific application interpreting the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean taxes may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings and regulations, but Chilean tax authorities may change said rulings and regulations prospectively. There is no general income tax treaty in force between Chile and the United States.

Cash dividends and Other Distributions. Cash dividends paid by us with respect to the ADSs or shares of common stock held by a foreign holder will be subject to a 35.0% Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld and paid over by us, which we refer to as the Chilean withholding tax. A credit against the Chilean withholding tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax, or first category tax, actually paid by us on the taxable income to which the dividend is imputed; however, this credit does not reduce the Chilean withholding tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Chilean withholding tax is imposed. In addition, distribution of book income in excess of retained taxable income is subject to the Chilean withholding tax, but such distribution is not eligible for the credit. Under Chilean income tax law, for purposes of determining the level of the first category tax that has been paid by us, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of our oldest retained taxable profits. Presently, the first category tax rate is 17.0%. Whether the first category tax is imposed or not, the effective overall combined rate of Chilean taxes imposed with respect to our distributed profits would be 35.0%. Nevertheless, in the case that the retained taxable profits or exempted profits as of December 31 of the year preceding a dividend are not sufficient to attribute to such dividend, we will make a withholding of 35.0% of the amount that exceeds those retained taxable or exempted profits. In case such withholding is determined to be excessive before the end of the year, there will be rights to file for the reimbursement of the excess withholding.

The foregoing tax consequences apply to cash dividends paid by us. Dividend distributions made in property (other than shares of common stock) will be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends.

Capital Gain. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition by a foreign holder of ADSs (or ADRs evidencing ADSs) will not be subject to Chilean taxation, provided that such disposition occurs outside Chile or that it is performed under the rules of Title XXIV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, as amended by Law N° 19,601, dated January 18, 1999. The deposit and withdrawal of shares of common stock in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.

Gain recognized on a sale or exchange of shares of common stock (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such shares of common stock) by a foreign holder will be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean withholding tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if (1) the foreign holder has held such shares of common stock for less than one year since exchanging ADSs for the shares of common stock, (2) the foreign holder acquired and disposed of the shares of common stock in the ordinary course of its business or as a regular trader of stock or (3) the sale is made to a company in which the foreign holder holds an interest (10.0% or more of the shares in the case of open stock corporations). In all other cases, gain on the disposition of shares of common stock will be subject only to the first category tax levied as a sole tax. However, if it is impossible to determine the taxable capital gain, a 5.0% withholding will be imposed on the total amount to be remitted abroad without any deductions as a provisional payment of the total tax due.

The tax basis of shares of common stock received in exchange for ADSs will be the acquisition value of such shares. The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which has been approved by the Chilean Internal Revenue Service pursuant Ruling Nº 324 of 1990, values shares of common stock that are being exchanged at the highest price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange, generally will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the conversion of ADSs into shares of common stock and sale of such shares of common stock for the value established under the deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile.

9 9

Table of Contents

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 gains subject to taxation in Chile may be generated. However, following Ruling N° 3708 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service, we will include in the deposit agreements a provision whereby the capital gain that may be generated if the exchange date is different than the date in which the shares received in exchange for ADSs are sold, will not be subject to taxation. Such provision states that in the event that the exchanged shares are sold by the ADS holders in a Chilean stock exchange on the same day in which the exchange is recorded in the shareholders’ registry of the issuer or within two business days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded in the shareholders’ registry, 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.

The distribution and exercise of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Amounts received for the assignment of preemptive rights relating to the shares will be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean withholding tax (the former being creditable against the latter to the extent described above).

The Chilean Internal Revenue Service has not enacted any rule nor issued any ruling about the applicability of the norms explained below (referred to as Laws Nº 19,738 and Nº 19,768) to the foreign holders of ADRs.

To the extent that our shares are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange, foreign institutional investors who acquire our shares may benefit from a tax exemption included in an amendment to the Chilean Income Tax Law, Law Nº 19,738 published on June 19, 2001. The amendment established an exemption for the payment of income tax by foreign institutional investors, such as mutual funds, pension funds and others, that obtain capital gains in the sales through a Chilean stock exchange, a tender offer or any other system authorized by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, of shares of publicly traded corporations that are significantly traded in stock exchanges.

A foreign institutional investor is an entity that is either:

· a fund that makes public offers of its shares in a country which public debt has been rated investment grade by an international risk classification agency qualified by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance;

· a fund that is registered with a regulatory entity of a country which public debt has been rated investment grade by an international risk classification agency qualified by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, provided that the investments in Chile, including securities issued abroad that represent Chilean securities, held by the fund represent less than 30.0% of its share value;

· a fund that holds investments in Chile that represent less than 30.0% of its share value, provided that it proves that no more that 10.0% of its share value is directly or indirectly owned by Chilean residents;

· a pension fund that is exclusively formed by individuals that receive their pension on account of capital accumulated in the fund;

· a fund regulated by Law Nº 18,657, or the Foreign Capital Investment Funds Law, in which case all holders of its shares must reside abroad or be qualified as local institutional investors; or

· another kind of institutional foreign investor that complies with the characteristics defined by a regulation with the prior report of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and the Chilean Internal Revenue Service.

In order to be entitled to the exemption, foreign institutional investors, during the time in which they operate in Chile must:

· be organized abroad and not be domiciled in Chile;

100

Table of Contents

· not participate, directly or indirectly, in the control of the issuers of the securities in which it invests and not hold, directly or indirectly, 10.0% or more of such companies’ capital or profits;

· execute an agreement in writing with a Chilean bank or securities broker in which the intermediary is responsible for the execution of purchase and sale orders and for the verification, at the time of the respective remittance, that such remittances relate to capital gains that are exempt from income tax in Chile or, if they are subject to income tax, that the applicable withholdings have been made; and

· register in a special registry with the Chilean Internal Revenue Service.

Pursuant to the enacted amendment to the Chilean Income Tax Law published on November 7, 2001 (Law N° 19,768) as amended by Law Nº 19,801 published on April 25, 2002, the sale and disposition of shares of Chilean public corporations which are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange is not levied by any Chilean tax on capital gains if the sale or disposition was made:

· on a local stock exchange or any other stock exchange authorized by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance or in a tender offer process according to Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, so long as the shares (a) were purchased on a public stock exchange or in a tender offer process pursuant to Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, (b) are newly issued shares issued in a capital increase of the corporation, or (c) were the result of the exchange of convertible bonds (in which case the option price is considered to be the price of the shares). In this case, gains exempted from Chilean taxes shall be calculated using the criteria set forth in the Chilean Income Tax Law; or

· within 90 days after the shares would have ceased to be significantly traded on stock exchange. In such case, the gains exempted from Chilean taxes on capital gains will be up to the average price per share of the last 90 days. Any gains above the average price will be subject to the first category tax.

Other Chilean Taxes. No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADSs by a foreign holder but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by a 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 ADSs or shares of common stock.

Withholding Tax Certificates. Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Chilean withholding tax. We will also inform when the withholding was excessive in order to allow the filing for the reimbursement of taxes.

##### United States Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of shares of Common Stock or ADSs by an investor that is a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that holds the shares of Common Stock or ADSs as capital assets. This summary does not purport to address all material tax consequences of the ownership of Common Stock or ADSs, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors (such as tax-exempt entities, certain insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect to mark to market, investors liable for alternative minimum tax, investors that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company, investors that hold Common Stock or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction or U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar), some of which may be subject to special rules. This summary is based on the tax laws of the United States (including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions) as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (or changes in interpretation), possibly with retroactive effect.

10 1

Table of Contents

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock or ADSs that is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership organized under the laws of the United States or any State, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. The discussion does not address any aspects of United States taxation other than federal income taxation. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal, state and local and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of Common Stock and ADSs.

In general, assuming that the representations of the Depositary are true and that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms, for United States federal income tax purposes, holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs will be treated as the owners of the shares of Common Stock represented by those ADSs, and exchanges of shares of Common Stock for ADSs, and ADSs for shares of Common Stock will not be subject to United States federal income tax.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions. Under the United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, U.S. Holders will include in gross income the gross amount of any dividend paid before reduction for any net withholding (i.e., after taking into account any Chilean First-Category Tax creditable against Chilean Withholding Tax) by the Company out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) as ordinary income when the dividend is actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, in the case of shares of Common Stock, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Subject to a holder's satisfaction of certain holding period requirements, dividends included in income by a non-corporate U.S. holder during the period ending on December 31, 2008 are subject to tax at a maximum rate of 15% if the dividends are paid by a domestic corporation or “qualified foreign corporation.” A qualified foreign corporation generally includes a foreign corporation if (i) its shares (or ADSs) are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. or (ii) it is eligible for benefits under a comprehensive U.S. income tax treaty, provided that (a) the corporation was not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company, or (b) for dividends paid prior to the 2005 tax year, a foreign personal holding company or foreign investment company. We believe that we should be treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividend payments to our ADS holders and, therefore, dividends paid to an individual U.S. holder of ADSs should be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. However, you should be aware that the requirements to be treated as qualified foreign corporation are not entirely clear and further guidance from the Internal Revenue Service may be forthcoming that could affect this conclusion. U.S. holders of Ordinary Shares directly, rather than through ADSs, should consult their own tax advisor about whether the 15% maximum rate applies to dividends they receive. The amount of the dividend distribution includible in income of a U.S. Holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Chilean peso payments made, determined at the spot Chilean peso/U.S. dollar rate on the date such dividend distribution is includible in the income of the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includible in income to the date such payment is converted into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary foreign exchange gain or loss. Such gain or loss will generally be from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Subject to certain generally applicable limitations, the net amount of any Chilean Withholding Tax (after reduction for the credit for Chilean First-Category Tax) paid over to Chile will be creditable against the U.S. Holder 's United States federal income tax liability. For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, the dividend will be income from sources outside the United States. In the case of U.S. individuals, if the reduced rate of tax on dividends applies to such holder, such limitations and restrictions will appropriately take into account the rate differential under rules similar to section 904(b)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their application to the particular circumstances of such holder.

Pro rata distributions of shares of Common Stock or preemptive rights generally are not subject to United States federal income tax. The basis of the new shares of Common Stock or preemptive rights (if such rights are exercised or sold) generally will be determined by allocating the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in the old shares between the old shares and the new shares or preemptive rights received, based on their relative fair market values on the date of distribution (except that the basis of the preemptive rights will be zero if the fair market value of the rights is less than 15% of the fair market value of the old shares at the time of distribution, unless the U.S. Holder irrevocably elects to allocate basis between the old shares and the preemptive rights). The holding period of a U.S. Holder for the new shares or preemptive rights will include the U.S. Holder's holding period for the old shares with respect to which the new shares or preemptive rights were issued. In other circumstances, distributions of Common Stock or preemptive rights may be treated as taxable dividends.

102

Table of Contents

Capital Gains. U.S. Holders will not recognize gain or loss on deposits or withdrawals of shares of Common Stock in exchange for ADSs or on the exercise of preemptive rights. U.S. Holders will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or shares of Common Stock (or preemptive rights with respect to such shares) held by the U.S. Holder or by the Depositary equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the ADSs or shares. Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as United States source income. Consequently, in the case of a disposition of shares of Common Stock or preemptive rights (which, unlike a disposition of ADSs, will be taxable in Chile), the U.S. Holder may not be able to claim the foreign tax credit for Chilean tax imposed on the gain unless it appropriately can apply the credit against tax due on other income from foreign sources. Loss generally would be treated as United States source loss. With respect to sales occurring on or after May 6, 2003, but before January 1, 2009, the long-term capital gain tax rate for an individual U.S. Holder is 15%. For sales occurring before May 6, 2003, or after December 31, 2008, under current law the long-term capital gain rate for an individual U.S. Holder is 20%.

PFIC Rules. CCU believes that it should not be treated as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes, although this conclusion is subject to some uncertainty because definitive asset values for non publicly-traded or illiquid assets may be unavailable. This conclusion is also a factual determination made annually and thus may be subject to change.

In general, the Company will be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if for any taxable year in which the U.S. Holder held the Company's ADSs or shares of Common Stock, either (i) at least 75% of the gross income of the Company for the taxable year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of the Company 's assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If a foreign corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the foreign corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation, and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation's income. If the Company is treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules with respect to (a) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of shares of Common Stock or ADSs and (b) any “excess distribution” by the Company to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to the U.S. Holder in respect of the shares of Common Stock or ADSs during a single taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder in respect of the shares of Common Stock or ADSs during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder 's holding period for the shares or ADSs). Under these rules, (i) the gain or excess distribution would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder 's holding period for the shares of Common Stock or ADSs, (ii) the amount allocated to the taxable year in which the gain or excess distribution was realized would be taxable as ordinary income, (iii) the amount allocated to each prior year, with certain exceptions, would be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and (iv) the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax would be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such year.

Special rules apply with respect to the calculation of the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.

If the Company is treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may be able to make a mark-to-market election if the Company's stock is treated as regularly traded on a registered national securities exchange or other exchange to the extent permitted by the IRS. If the election is made, the PFIC rules described above will not apply. Instead, in general, the electing U.S. Holder will be required to include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares or ADSs. The electing U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis in the shares of Common Stock or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election). An electing U.S. Holder's tax basis in the shares of Common Stock or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts.

103

Table of Contents

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of shares or ADSs in a PFIC can sometimes avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the company as a “qualified electing fund” under section 1295 of the Internal Revenue Code. This option will not be available to U.S. Holders because the Company does not intend to comply with the requirements necessary to permit a U.S. Holder to make this election. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding shares or ADSs if the Company is considered a passive foreign investment company in any taxable year.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Dividends in respect of the Shares or ADSs and proceeds from the sale, exchange, or redemption of the Shares or ADSs may be subject to information reporting to the United States Internal Revenue Service and a backup withholding tax (currently, at a 28% rate) may apply unless the U.S. Holder furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number or certificate of foreign status or is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. Generally, a U.S. Holder will provide such certification on Form W-9 and a non-U.S. Holder will provide such certification on Form W-8BEN.

### ITEM 11: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

We face primary market risk exposures in three categories: interest rate fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations and commodity price fluctuations. We periodically review our exposure to the three main sources of risk described above and determine at our senior management level how to minimize the impact on our operations of commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate changes. As part of this review process, we periodically evaluate opportunities to enter into hedging mechanisms to mitigate such risks.

The market risk sensitive instruments referred to below are entered into only for purposes of hedging our risks and are not used for trading purposes.

Qualitative Information About Market Risk

#####

##### Interest Rate Sensitivity

The interest rate risk is mainly originated by our financing sources. The main exposure is related to LIBOR and 30-day TAB variable interest rates indexed obligations. As of December 31, 2010, we had a total CLP32,785 million in debt indexed to LIBOR (CLP40,309 million as of December 31, 2009). Consequently, as of December 31, 2010, our financing structure consists (without considering the effects of cross currency swaps) of approximately 15% debt with variable interest rates, and 85% debt with fixed interest rates.

To manage the interest rate risk, we have an interest rate administration policy that aims to reduce the volatility of its financial expenses, and to maintain an ideal percentage of its debt in fixed rate instruments. The financial position is mainly set by the use of short-term and long-term debt, as well as derivative instruments such as cross-currency interest rate swaps.

As of December 31, 2010, after considering the effect of interest rates and currency swaps, 100% of our long-term debt has fixed interest rates.

The terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations as of December 31, 2010, including exchange rates, interest rates, maturities and effective interest rates are detailed in Note 26 to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

##### Commodity Price Sensitivity

The major commodity price sensitivity faced by us is the variation of malt, sugar and grape prices. In Chile, we obtain our supply of malt from local producers and in the international market. We often are required to enter into commitments to purchase such commodities. The purchases and commitments expose us to risk regarding the fluctuation of commodity prices. Our risk management policy is to manage this risk through fixed price purchase contracts and occasionally entering into spot transactions which lock in prices for the commodity. During 2010, we imported 30.052 tons of malt and 27,000 tons of barley. In Argentina during 2010, we purchased all of our malt from local suppliers. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Beer Business – Our Beer Business in Chile – Raw Materials” and “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Beer Business – Our Beer Business in Argentina – Raw Materials.” We do not hedge these transactions. Rather, we negotiate yearly contracts with malt suppliers.

The principal commodity used in the production of soft drinks is sugar. We generally purchase our sugar requirements from Empresas Iansa S.A., the sole producer of sugar in Chile, and from imports. See “Item 4:

Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Soft Drinks and Mineral Water Business – Our Soft Drinks and Mineral Water Business in Chile – Raw Materials.” We do not hedge these transactions.

The principal raw materials used in the production of wine are harvested grapes and purchased wine. VSPT obtains approximately 50% of the grapes used for export wines from its own vineyards, thereby reducing grape price volatility. The majority of the wine sold in the domestic market is purchased from third parties. During 2010, we purchased the majority of our grape and wine needs based on yearly contracts at fixed prices from third parties. Spot transactions for wine are executed from time to time depending on additional wine needs. During the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, our wine subsidiary, VSPT, bought grapes and wine in Chile in the amount of CLP14,587, CLP15,733 million and CLP32.255 million, respectively. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Wine Business – Raw Materials.”

##### Exchange Rate Sensitivity

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

As of December 31, 2010, we maintained in Chile foreign currency obligations amounting to CLP52,560 million, mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency obligations accruing variable interests (CLP32,785 million) represent 15% of the total such obligations. The remaining 85% is denominated in inflation-indexed Chilean pesos. The CLP46,376 million foreign currency obligations include loans for US$ 70 million (CLP32,785 million) which are hedged by currency and interest rate hedge agreements, converting such debts in fixed interest rate inflation-adjusted obligations in Chilean pesos. In addition, we maintain foreign currency assets for CLP23,412 million that mainly correspond to exports accounts receivable.

Regarding the Argentine subsidiaries operations, the liability net exposure in U.S. dollars and other currencies amounts to CLP5,245 million.

To protect the value of the foreign currency assets and liabilities net position of our Chilean operations, we enter into derivative agreements (currency forwards) to hedge against any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.

As of December 31, 2010, our assets (liabilities) net exposure in foreign currencies, after the use of derivative instruments, amounted to CLP1,532 million.

Of our total sales, both in Chile and Argentina, 11% correspond to export sales made in foreign currencies, mainly U.S. dollars, euro, sterling pound, and of the total costs, 57% correspond to raw material and product purchases in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies. We do not actively hedge the eventual variations in the expected cash flows from such transactions.

On the other hand, we are exposed to exchange rate movements related to the conversion from Argentine pesos to Chilean pesos in the income, assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries in Argentina. We do not actively hedge the risks related to the subsidiaries conversion, the effects of which are recorded in Equity. As of December 31, 2010, the net investment in Argentine subsidiaries amounted to CLP86,527 million.

Quantitative Information About Market Risk

##### Interest Rate Sensitivity

Most of our debt is at a fixed interest rate, so it is not exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. While we have a US$70 million variable rate loan we have entered into a cross currency swap to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with this loan. As of December 31, 2010, our interest-bearing debt amounted to CLP232,967 million (see note 26 to the consolidated financial statements), 85% of which was fixed debt and 15% was variable-rate debt.

As of December 31, 2009 we had malt purchase contracts for US$148.6 million, compared with US$114.2 million as of December 31, 2010.

##### Exchange Rate Sensitivity

The major exchange rate risk faced by us is the variation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.

On November 23, 2007, the Cayman Islands Branch of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. entered into a US$70 million, five-year unsecured, loan agreement. This credit agreement has a variable interest rate of LIBOR + 0.27% in U.S. dollars. The amortization of the loan will be done in one payment at the maturity date. Interest payments are made on a semi-annual basis. To avoid the exchange and interest risks of this credit, we entered into a cross currency interest rate swap agreement for the total amount of this loan. As a consequence, we replaced the risk of LIBOR fluctuations for this credit agreement with a fixed rate of 2.75% in UF.

A portion of our subsidiaries operating revenue and assets and liabilities are in currencies that differ from our functional currency. However, since some of their operating revenues and expenses are in the same currency, this can create a partial natural hedge. In the case of our subsidiary VSPT, occasionally there exist short-term timing differences related to invoicing and cash collection which can generate currency exposure. We have entered into short-term US dollar currency forward contracts to mitigate this risk.

Not applicable.

### ITEM 14: Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

### ITEM 15: Controls and Procedures

(a) Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure 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 required and that such information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

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

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

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(e) Whistle-blowing procedure. We have a whistle-blowing procedure which allows any employee of CCU, of its associates or any person, to communicate to a designated person questionable practices or activities that constitute a breach of accounting procedures, internal controls, audit matters and the Code of Business Conduct.

### ITEM 16A: Audit Committee Financial Expert

At the board meeting held on February 4, 2010, our board of directors agreed to increase from three to four the number of members of the audit committee, and to appoint Mr. Philippe Pasquet as the fourth member. Therefore, the current members of our audit committee are Messrs. Giorgio Maschietto, Carlos Olivos, Alberto Sobredo and Philippe Pasquet, each of whom is independent as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The audit committee in its meeting held on May 4, 2009, analyzed the requirements that Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act sets forth regarding the qualifications of an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" and, after due consideration, determined that none of the members of the audit committee meet the requirements of an "Audit Committee Financial Expert." However, we are not required to have an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" or similar expert under relevant U.S. or Chilean law.

### ITEM 16B: Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all of our executive officers and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct is available on our website at www.ccu.cl. Our code of ethics was updated in August 2010 and no waivers, either explicit or implicit, of provisions of the code of ethics have been granted to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Accounting Officer.

### ITEM 16G: Corporate Governance

General summary of significant differences with regard to corporate government standards

The following paragraphs provide a brief, general summary of significant differences between corporate government practices followed by us pursuant to our home-country rules and those applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under NYSE listing standards.

Composition of the board of directors; independence. The NYSE listing standards provide that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors and that certain board committees must consist solely of independent directors. Under NYSE rule 303A.02, a director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that such director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the NYSE listing standards enumerate a number of relationships that preclude independence.

113

Table of Contents

Under the amendment to the Chilean Corporations Act, in effect as of January 1, 2010, an open-stock corporation must have at least one independent director (out of a minimum of seven directors) when its market capitalization reaches or exceeds 1.5 million Unidades de Fomento (as of April 30, 2011 approximately CLP32,567 million) and at least 12,5% of its outstanding shares with voting rights are in the possession of shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of such shares. In addition, the Chilean Corporation Act enumerates a number of relationships that preclude independence. The Chilean law also establishes a number of principles of general applicability designed to avoid conflicts of interests and to establish standards for related party transactions. Specifically, directors elected by a group or class of shareholders have the same duties to the company and to the other shareholders as the rest of the directors, and all transactions with the company in which a director has an interest, must be in the interest of and for the benefit of the company, compare in price, terms and conditions to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval and comply with the requirements and procedures set forth in Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporation Act. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

Furthermore, such transactions must be reviewed by the directors committee (as defined below); they require prior approval by the board of directors and must be disclosed at the next meeting of shareholders, unless such transactions fall within one the exemptions contemplated by the Chilean Corporations Act and, if applicable, included in the usual practice policy approved by the board of directors. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.” Pursuant to NYSE rule 303A.00, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to have a majority of independent directors.

Committees. The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified by the listing standards.

Under Chilean law, the only board committee that is required is the directors committee (comité de directores), composed of three members, such committee having a direct responsibility to (a) review the company’s financial statements and the independent auditors’ report and issue an opinion on such financial statements and report prior to their submission for shareholders’ approval, (b) make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the appointment of independent auditors and risk rating agencies, (c) review related party transactions, and issue a report on such transactions, (d) review the managers, principal executive officers’ and employees’ compensation policies and plans and (e) to prepare an annual report of the performance of its duties, including the principal recommendations to shareholders; (f) report to the board of directors the convenience of retaining non-audit services from its external auditors, if the nature of such services could impair their independence; and (g) perform other duties as defined by the company’s bylaws, by the general shareholders’ meeting or by the board. Requirements to be deemed an independent director are set forth in “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees. Board Practices - Directors Committee.

Pursuant to NYSE Rule 303A.06, we must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act by July 31, 2005. In the meeting held on February 3, 2010, our board of directors agreed to increase from three to four the number of members of the audit committee, and to appoint Mr. Philippe Pasquet as the fourth member. Therefore, the members of our audit committee were, as of March 31, 2011, Messrs. Giorgio Maschietto, Carlos Olivos, Alberto Sobredo and Philippe Pasquet, all of them meet the independence criteria contained in the Exchange Act and the NYSE Rule.

Shareholder approval of equity-compensation plans. Under NYSE listing standards, shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exemptions. An “equity-compensation plan” is a plan or other arrangement that provides for the delivery of equity securities of the listed company to any employee, director or other service provider as compensation for services.

114

Table of Contents

Under Chilean law, if previously approved by shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, up to ten percent of a capital increase in a publicly traded company may be set aside to fund equity-compensation plans for the company’s employees and/or for the employees of the company’s subsidiaries. Pursuant to NYSE rule 303A.00, as a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to comply with the NYSE listing standards with respect to shareholder approval of equity-compensation plans.

Corporate Governance Guidelines. The NYSE listing standards provide that listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines with regard to (a) director qualifications standards; (b) director responsibilities; (c) director access to management and independent advisors; (d) director compensation; (e) director orientation and continuing education; (f) management succession; and (g) annual performance evaluation of the board.

Chilean law does not require that such corporate governance guidelines be adopted. Director responsibilities and access to management and independent advisors are directly provided for by applicable law. Director compensation is determined by the annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to applicable law. As a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.

Code of Business Conduct. The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.

We have adopted a code of business conduct that applies generally to all of our executive officers and employees. A copy of the code of business conduct, as amended, is available in our website at www.ccu.cl.

Manual of Information of Interest to the Market. In 2008, the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, or “SVS”) promulgated new rules which require public companies to adopt a manual regarding disclosure of information of interest to the market, board members and executives shares transactions and black out periods for such transactions. This manual applies to our directors, the directors of our subsidiaries, our executive officers, some of our employees which may be in possession of confidential, reserved or privileged information of interest, and to our advisors. The manual took effect on June 1, 2008. A copy of the manual regarding disclosure of information of interest to the market, as amended on March 18, 2010, is available in our website at www.ccu.cl.

Executive Sessions. To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, NYSE listing standards provide that non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.

Under Chilean law, the office of director is not legally compatible with that of a company officer in publicly traded companies. The board of directors exercises its functions as a collective body and may partially delegate its powers to executive officers, attorneys, a director or a board commission of the company, and for specific purposes to other persons. As a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to comply with the NYSE listing standard for executive sessions.

Certification Requirements. Under NYSE listing standards, Section 303A.12(a) provides that each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards and Section 303A.12(b) provides that each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.

As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with Section 303A.12(b) of the NYSE listing standards, but we are not required to comply with 303A.12(a).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principies used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

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.

# Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies adopted for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below:

### 2.1 Basis of preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and applied uniformly to the periods presented.

The Company has made certain reclassifications in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, due to new instructions issued by the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (S.V.S.), in its Circular N° 1975, dated March 25, 2010. These reclassifications relate mostly to regrouping certain assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, all within the respective current and non current items, as well as regrouping of items in the Consolidated Statement of Income, which in no case affect the outcome or results of each year.

The consolidated financial statements cover the following periods: Balance sheet and Statement as of December 2010 and 2009, Statement of changes in net Equity, Statement of Income, Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flow for the years ended December 2010, 2009 and 2008.

The amounts shown in the attached financial statements are expressed in thousands of Chilean pesos, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to thousand pesos, except when otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical basis, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit and loss.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting critical estimates. It also requires that management use its professional judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. See Note 3 for disclosure of significant amounting estimates and judgments.

At the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements Amendments, Improvements and Interpretations to the existing standards have been published which have come into force during the financial year 2010 and the Company has adopted. These were made mandatory from the following dates:

F-15

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

New Standard Improvements and Amendments | Mandatory for
years beginning in:
IAS 1 Amendment | Presentation of Financial Statements | January 1, 2010
IFRS 2 Amendment | Share-based Payment | January 1, 2010

IFRS 1 Amendment | Exemptions from the initial adoption of IFRS | July 1, 2010
IFRIC 19 | Cancellation of liabilities with equity instruments | July 1, 2010

The adoption of the these standards, as per their mandatory application date, had not impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Also, at the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, Amendments, Improvements and Interpretations to the existing standards have been published, which are not yet valid and the Company has not early adopted. The following standards are required to be applied as from the dates indicated below:

New Standard Improvements and Amendments | Mandatory for
years beginning in:
Amendment IFRIC 14 | Prepayment of the obligation to maintain a minimum funding | January 1, 2011
Revised IAS 24 | Related Party Disclosures | January 1, 2011

IFRS 9 | Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement | January 1, 2013

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

### 2.2 Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

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

The acquisition method is used for the accounting of acquisition of subsidiaries. The acquisition cost is the fair value of the assets delivered, of the equity instruments issued and of the liabilities incurred or assumed as of the exchange date. The identifiable assets acquired, as well as the identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are initially valued at their fair value on the acquisition date, independently from the scope of minority interests. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. If the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the acquired subsidiaries’ net assets, the difference is directly recognized in the Statement of Income as gain.

Transaction and Non-controlling Interest

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

The non-controlling interest is presented in the Net Equity section of the Statement of Financial Position. The gain or loss attributable to non-controlling interest is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income after net income.

F-16

Table of contents

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

Joint Ventures

A joint venture is a contractual agreement by which two or more parties carry out an economic activity that is subject to a joint control, and normally involves the establishment of a separate entity in which each party has a share, based on a shareholders’ agreement. The Company accounts for its participation in joint ventures by using the equity method. The financial statements of the joint ventures in which the Company participates are prepared for the same year, using accounting policies consistent with those of the Company. Adjustments are made to confirm any different accounting policy that may exist.

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

### 2.3 Financial information as per operating segments

The Company’s operating segments are formed by the assets and resources intended to supply products that are subject to risks and benefits different from those of other operating segments, and that normally correspond to operating companies that develop such business activities and which operating income is regularly reviewed by its respective Directors and by the Board of Directors, in order to make decisions on the resources to be allotted to the segments and to appraise their performance. When establishing the segments to be reported, some segments with similar economic characteristics have been grouped together (See Note 7).

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

### 2.4 Foreign currency and unidad de fomento (Adjustable unit)

Presentation and functional currency

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

Transactions and balances

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

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

The exchange rates of the main foreign currencies and adjustment units used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

### 2.5 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash available, bank balances, term deposits at financial entities, investments in mutual funds and financial facilities acquired under re-sale agreements, all of them short-term investments with a high liquidity, and an original maturity of three or less months.

### 2.6 Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities

The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability in its balance sheet when it becomes subject to the contractual stipulations of a financial instrument.

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

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

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

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

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

Accounts receivable

They correspond to those financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not traded in an active market. The trade receivable credits or accounts are recognized according to the invoice value, recording the corresponding adjustment when there is objective evidence of payment risk by the client.

F-18

Table of contents

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

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

The current trade receivable credits and accounts are not discounted. The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is not materiality different from the invoiced amount, because the transaction does not have significant associated costs.

Debts and financial liabilities that accrue interests

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

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

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

Derivative Instruments

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

In order to classify a derivative as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes, the Company documents (i) as of the transaction date or at designation time, the relationship or correlation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management purposes and strategies, (ii) the assessment, both at subscription date as well as on a continuing basis, whether the instrument used is effective to offset changes in fair value or in the cash flow of the protected item.

A hedge is considered effective when changes in the reasonable value or in the cash flow of the underlying directly attributable to the risk hedged are offset with the changes in fair value, or in the cash flow of the hedging instrument with effectiveness between 80% to 125%.

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

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

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

2.7 Financial asset impairment

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

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

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

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

### 2.8 Inventories

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

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

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

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

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

### 2.9 Other non-financial assets

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

### 2.10 Property, plant and equipment

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

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

F-20

Table of contents

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

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

Type of Assets | Number of
Years
Land | Indefined
Buildings and Construction | 20 to 60
Machinery and equipment | 10 to 25
Furniture and accesories | 5 to 10
Sales assets (coolers and majolica) | 5 to 8
Bottles and container | 3 to 12

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

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

### 2.11 Leases

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

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

### 2.12 Investment property

Investment property consists of land held by the Company with the purpose of generating appreciation, and not to be used in the normal course of business, and it is recorded at historic cost less impairment loss, if any.

### 2.13 Biological assets

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

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

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

The costs associated with agricultural exploitation are deferred until harvesting date, when they are changed to the inventories under processing cost.

Costs incurred in acquiring and planting new vines are capitalized.

The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, for which management consider that it represents the best approximation to fair value.

2.14 Intangible assets other than goodwill

Commercial Trademarks

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

Software Programs

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

Research and development

The research and development expense is recognized as an expense when incurred. The disbursements for these concepts during the years ended as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, were not significant.

Water Rights

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

### 2.15 Goodwill

Goodwill and Impairment of Goodwill

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

For the purposes of impairment tests, goodwill is assigned to the Cash Generating Units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of a business combination. Each unit or group of units (CGU - See Note 20) represents the lowest level inside the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal administration purposes, which is not larger than a business segment. The cash generating units to which the goodwill is assigned are tested for impairment annually or with a higher frequency, when there are signs indicating that a cash generating unit could experience impairment, or some of the significant market conditions have changed.

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

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

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

### 2.16 Impairment of non-current assets other different than goodwill

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

F-22

Table of contents

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

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

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

### 2.17 Non-current assets held for sale

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

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

### 2.18 Income tax and deferred taxes

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

Income Tax Obligation

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

Deferred Tax

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

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

The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed as of the financial statement date, and it is reduced, by means of a valuation provision, if it is estimated that enough tax profits will not be available to allow the use of all or part of the deferred taxes assets.

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

2.19 Employees benefits

Employees Vacation

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

Employees Bonuses

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

Severance Indemnity

The Company recognizes a liability for the payment of irrevocable severance indemnities, originated by the collective and individual agreements entered into with employees. Such obligation is determined based on the actuarial value of the accrued cost of the benefit, a method which considers several factors in the calculation, such as estimates of future continuance, mortality rates, future salary increases and discount rates. The determined value is shown at its present value by using the accrued benefits for years of service method. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest rates curves, which were 7.7% for the years ended as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and 7.6% for the year ended December, 31, 2008, respectively. The current losses and gains originated by the valuation of the liabilities subject to such plans are directly recorded in Income.

### 2.20 Provisions

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

The concepts by which the Company establishes provisions against Income correspond to civil, labor and taxation proceedings that could affect the Company. Additionally, the liability generated by the bottles and containers deposits is considered as a provision (Note 28).

### 2.21 Deposits on bottles and containers

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

Such obligation is mainly disclosed in non-current liabilities because the history of containers placement in the market, recorded during an operation term, is higher than the returned ones during a similar term. Such liability is not discounted, since it is considered a payable on sight and it does not have adjustability clauses of any kind in its origin.

The adjustment is based on an estimate that is carried out by counting the bottles held by customers and adding an estimate of the number of bottles in hands of the final consumers. This estimate is based on independent studies and historical information regarding the return of these bottles. In Argentina, all companies use the same returnable bottles. Therefore, unlike in Chile where returnable bottles are proprietary and require a deposit, bottles are delivered in bailment to customers.

### 2.22 Revenue recognition

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

F-24

Table of contents

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

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

Sale of products in the domestic market

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

Exports

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

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

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

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

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

### 2.23 Commercial agreements with distributors and supermarket chains

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

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

The commitments with distributors or importers in the exports area are recognized when there is formal evidence of the agreement and its amount may be reliably estimated.

### 2.24 Cost of sales of products

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

### 2.25 Other expenses by function

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

F-25

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2010 |

2.26 Distribution expenses

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

### 2.27 Administration expenses

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

### 2.28 Environment

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

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

# Note 3 Estimates and application of professional judgment

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

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

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

• Asset valuation and goodwill acquired (goodwill or trade funds) to determine the existence of losses due to their impairment (Note 2.15 and Note 20).

• The valuation of commercial trademarks to determine the existence of potential losses due to potential impairment (Note 2.14 and Note 19).

• The assumptions used in the current calculation of liabilities and obligations to employees (Note 2.19 and Note 30).

• Useful life of property, plant and equipment (Note 2.10 and Note 21), biological assets (Note 2.13 and Note 24) and intangibles (software programs) (Note 2.14 and Note 20).

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

• The occurrence likelihood and the liabilities amount in an uncertain or contingent manner (Note 2.20, Note 2.21, and Note 28).

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

However, it is possible that events that may occur in the future force their amendment during the next year, which would be done prospectively.

# Note 4 Accounting changes

During the year ended on December 31, 2010, there have been no changes in the use of accounting principles or relevant changes in any accounting estimates with regard to the previous years that may significantly affect the interpretation of these consolidated financial statements.

# Note 5 Risk Administration

### Risk administration

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

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

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

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

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

### Exchange rate risk

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

As of December 31, 2010, the Company maintained in Chile foreign currency obligations amounting to ThCh$ 52,560,458 (ThCh$ 54,314,629 in 2009), mostly denominated in US dollars. Foreign currency obligations accruing variable interest (ThCh$ 32,785,328 and ThCh$ 40,152,566 in 2009) represent 15% (18% in 2009) of the total of such obligations. The remaining 85% (82% in 2009) is denominated in inflation-indexed Chilean pesos (see inflation risk section). The
ThCh$ 46,377,735 foreign currency obligations include loans for US$ 70 million (ThCh$ 32,785,328 in 2010 and
ThCh$ 35,525,570 in 2009) which are hedged by currency and interest rate hedge agreements, converting such debts in fixed interest rate inflation-adjusted obligations in Chilean pesos. In addition, the Company maintains foreign currency assets for ThCh$ 23,412,881 (ThCh$ 40,559,612 in 2009) that mainly correspond to exports accounts receivable.

Regarding the Argentine subsidiaries operations, the liability net exposure in US dollars and other currencies amounts to ThCh$ 5,245,182 (ThCh$ 4,175,188 in 2009).

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

As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s assets (liabilities) net exposure in foreign currencies, after the use of derivative instruments, is a liability amounted to ThCh$ 1,532,631 (ThCh$ 1,149,625 in 2009).

Of the Company’s total sales, both in Chile and Argentina, 11% (12% in 2009) corresponds to export sales made in foreign currencies, mainly US dollars, euro, pound sterling, and of the total costs 60% (63% in 2009) corresponds to raw material and products purchased in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies. The Company does not actively hedge the eventual variations in the expected cash flows from such transactions.

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

As of December 31, 2010, the net investment in Argentine subsidiaries amounted to ThCh$ 86,527,472 (ThCh$ 86,089,431 in 2009).

Exchange rate sensitivity analysis

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

Considering that approximately 11% of the Company’ sales relates to export sales carried out in Chile, in currencies different from the Chilean peso, and that in Chile approximately 57% (60% in 2009) of the costs are indexed to the US dollar, and assuming that the Chilean peso will be appreciated or (depreciated) by 10% as compared to the set of foreign currencies, when maintaining constant the rest of the variables the hypothetical effect on the Company’s income would be income (loss) after taxes of ThCh$ 5,623,470 (income (loss) from ThCh$ 4,977,427 in 2009).

The net investment maintained in subsidiaries that operate in Argentina amounts to ThCh$ 86,527,472 as of December 31, 2010 (ThCh$ 86,089,431 in 2009). Assuming a 10% increase or decrease in the Argentine peso exchange rate as compared to the Chilean peso, and maintaining constant all the rest of the variables, the aforesaid increase (decrease) would hypothetically result in income (loss) of ThCh$ 8,652,747 (income (loss) ThCh$ 8,608,943 in December 31, 2009) recorded as a credit (charge) against net equity.

### Interest rates risk

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

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a total ThCh$ 32,785,328 in debt indexed to LIBOR (ThCh$ 40,308,980 as of December 31, 2009). Consequently, as of December 31, 2010, the company’s financing structure is made up (without considering the effects of cross currency swaps effect) of approximately 15% (18% in 2009) debt with variable interest rates, and 85% (82% in 2009) debt with fixed interest rates.

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

As of December 31, 2010, after considering the effect of interest rates and currency swaps, approximately 100% (98% in 2009) of the Company’s long-term debt has fixed interest rates.

The terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations as of December 31, 2010, including exchange rates, interest rates, maturities and effective interest rates are detailed in Note 26.

Interest rates sensitivity analysis

The total financial expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve month ended period as of December 31, 2010, related to short-term and long-term debts amounted to ThCh$ 10,668,587 (ThCh$ 12,442,847 in December 31, 2009). Since then the Cross Currency Swap we are 100% covered against changes in interest rates, our result is not exposed to this risk.

### Inflation risk

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

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

Inflation sensitivity analysis

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

### Raw material price risk

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

Barley and malt

In Chile the Company obtains its barley and malt supply from local producers and from the international market. Long-term supply agreements are entered into with local producers, where the barley price is set annually according to the market prices, which is used to determine the malt price according to the agreements. The purchases and commitments made expose the Company to a raw material price fluctuation risk. During 2010 the Company purchased 27,000 tons (36,767 tons in 2009) of barley and 30,052 tons (33,678 tons in 2009) of malt. On the other hand, CCU Argentina acquires the whole demand of malt from local producers. Such raw material represents approximately 29% (30% in 2009) of the beer direct cost.

Concentrates, Sugar and plastic containers

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

Grapes and wine

The main raw materials used by the subsidiary VSPT for wine production are its own production grapes and third-party grapes and wine. Approximately 48% (50% in 2009) of the export wine supply comes from its own vineyards, thus reducing the effect of price volatility and ensuring the products quality consistence. Approximately 92% (95% in 2009) of the wine or grape supply for the wine for local market is acquired from third parties. During 2010, the Company acquired 57% (60% in 2009) of the necessary grapes and wine from third parties through fixed price agreements. In addition, it also occasionally effects spot price (or cash price) transactions, depending on its needs.

Raw material price sensitivity Analysis

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

### Credit risk

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

Domestic market

The credit risk related to commercial collectible accounts of domestic markets is administered by the Loan and Collection Administration Officer, and it is monitored by the Loan Committee of each business unit. The Company has a wide client base that is subject to the policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. The loan limits are established for all clients on the basis of an internal qualification and payment performance. The pending for payment commercial accounts receivable are regularly monitored. In addition, the Company acquires loan insurances covering 90% (90% in 2009) of the individually significant accounts receivable balances, a coverage that as of December 31, 2010, amounts to 83% (79% as of December 31, 2009) of the total accounts receivable.

Overdue but not impaired commercial accounts receivable correspond to clients that show delays of less than 18.3 days (17.4 days in 2009).

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately 694 clients (693 clients as of December 31, 2009) indebted in over Ch$ 10 million each, that together represent approximately 84% (86% in 2009) of the total commercial accounts receivable. There were 171 clients (182 clients as of December 31, 2009) with balances over $ 50 million each, representing approximately 73% (72% in 2009) of the total accounts receivable. The 92% (85% in 2009) of such accounts receivable are covered by the aforesaid loan insurance, or by mortgage guarantees.

Exports market

The loan risk related to accounts receivable for exports is administered by VSPT Head of Loan and Collection, and it is monitored by VSPT Administration and Finance Officer. The Company has a large client base, in over eighty countries, which are subject to the policies, procedures and controls established by the Company. In addition, the Company acquires loan insurance covering 96% (90% in 2009) of the individually significant accounts receivable, a coverage that as of December 31, 2010, amounts to 80% (66% in 2009) of the total accounts receivable. Pending payment of commercial accounts receivable are regularly monitored. Overdue but not impaired commercial accounts receivable correspond to clients that show delays of less than 44 days (64 days in 2009). Apart from the loan insurance, the fact of having diversified sales in different countries and in the main economically developed countries decreases the loan risk.

As of December 31, 2010, there were 62 clients (65 clients in 2009) indebted for over Ch$ 65 million each, which represent 84% (85% in 2009) of the total accounts receivable.

The Company estimates that no loan risk provisions are necessary in addition to the individual and collective provisions determined as of December 31, 2010. See analysis of accounts receivable maturities and losses due to impairment of accounts receivable (Note 14).

The Company has policies limiting the counterparty loan risk exposure as regards financial institutions, and such exposures are frequently monitored. Consequently, the Company does not have loan risk concentrations with financial institutions that should be considered significant as of December 31, 2010 an 2009.

### Liquidity risk

The Company administers liquidity risk at a consolidated level, the cash flows originated by its operational activities being the main liquidity source. In addition, the Company issues debt and equity facilities in the capital market, maintains unused financing lines, as well as cash and cash equivalent available in order to fulfill its short –term and long-term obligations.

The Company bases its estimated cash flows for a 12-month following to administer short-term liquidity. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had unused loan credit lines totalling ThCh$ 249,703,857 (ThCh$ 238,132,075 in 2009) and cash and cash equivalents of ThCh$ 151,614,300 (ThCh$ 137,353,669 in 2009) to administer short-term liquidity needs.

Such derivative agreements have been entered into as a hedge of exchange rate risk exposure. In the case of forwards, the Company does not comply with the formal requirements for them to be classified as hedging instruments, consequently their effects are recorded in Income, in Other gain (loss), separately from the hedged item.

In the case of Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps, these qualify as cash flow hedges of the flows related to the liability of the syndicated loan from JP Morgan Chase and BBVA S.A. New York Branch, disclosed in Note 26.

Level 1 Fair value obtained through direct reference to quoted prices, without any adjustment.

Level 2 Fair value obtained through the use of valuation models accepted in the market and based on prices different from those of Level 1, which may be directly or indirectly observed as of the measurement date (adjusted prices).

Level 3 Fair value obtained through internally developed models or methodologies that use information which may not be observed, or which is illiquid.

At the closing of each period, the Company determined the fair value for its financial facilities recorded at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position, as follows:

Credit Quality of financial assets

The Company uses two credit assessment systems for its clients: a) clients with loan insurance are assessed according to the external risk criteria (trade reports, non-compliance and protested documents that are available in the local market), payment capability and equity situation required by the insurance company to grant a loan coverage; b) the rest of the clients are assessed through an ABC risk model, which considers internal risk (non-compliance and protested documents), external risk (trade reports, non-compliance and protested documents that are available in the local market) and payment capacity and equity situation. The uncollectible rate during the last two years has not been significant.

The total acquisition cost amounted to ThCh$ 22,399,380 and it was paid-up in cash. The total acquisition cost includes ThCh$ 307,116 for costs directly associated to the acquisition.

Inversora Cervecera S.A. (ICSA)

On April 2, 2008, the subsidiary Compañía Industrial Cervecera S.A. (CICSA) took over Inversora Cervecera S.A. (ICSA) through the acquisition of 100% its voting rights shares. After the acquisition, and as a result of the synergies to be reached, the Board of Directors of both companies decided to merge both companies, with CICSA being the continuing entity.

ICSA was a company with an approximately 5.8% share of the Argentine beer market, with the Palermo, Imperial and Bieckert beer brands. The annual productive capacity of ICSA was approximately 2.7 million hectoliters, manufactured at its only plant located in Luján (Buenos Aires province). Imperial is a traditional Argentine brand belonging to the domestic premium segment. It was re-launched in October, 2008, with the purpose of repositioning it as the preferred “special beer” by the Argentines. Palermo and Bieckert are domestic brands that make CCU Argentina the leader of the price segment.

It is expected that ICSA’s acquisition allows the subsidiary CICSA to increase its productive capacity, through the enhancement of its productive assets, a higher market share, through the different marketed brands and ICSA’s participation in the domestic and foreign markets, as well as with operational improvements resulting from the synergies obtained in the operational and administrative functions.

Total acquired net assets | - | 2,086,724
Goodwill | - | 19,156,299
Amount paid in cash | - | 21,243,023

Goodwill results mainly from the expectations of synergies that could be achieved as a result of the integration of productive and marketing activities, cost reduction and simplification of the operational areas. Such goodwill was assigned to the Argentina cash generating unit and it shall be tested as indicated in Note 20.

The total cost of the acquisition amounted to ThCh$ 21,243,023 and it was paid entirely in cash. The total cost of the acquisition includes ThCh$ 157,353 for costs directly associated with the acquisition.

The transaction also resulted in the payment of an obligation to Quilmes by ICSA amounting to ThCh$ 28,762,999.

As of the acquisition date, the net cash movement resulting from the acquisition was as follows:

| ThCh$
Acquisition cost: |
Paid-up cash | 21.085.670
Costs associated with the acquisition | 157.353
Total | 21.243.023
Other costs paid in cash | 28.920.352

Goodwill assigned to the CGU is submitted to impairment tests annually or with a higher frequency in case there are indications that any of the CGU could experience impairment. The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined as the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell. To determine the value in use, the Company has used cash flow projections over a 5-year span, based on the budgets and projections reviewed by the Top Management for the same term. The rates used to discount the projected cash flows reflect the market assessment of the specific risks related to the corresponding CGU. The discount rates have been estimated on the basis of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

The Company has not seen any evidence of impairment of goodwill.

# Note 24 Biological Assets

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

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

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company maintained approximately 4,426, of which 4,298 hectares are for vines in production stage. Of the total hectares mentioned above, 3,939 correspond to own land and 487 to leased land.

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

During 2009 the production plant vines allowed to harvest a total of approximately 50,9 million kilos of grapes, while in 2010 production was 41.9 million kilos.

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

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

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

The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, for which management consider that it represents the best approximation to fair value.

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

The short-term benefits include mainly remuneration, vacation and compensation through annuities. Such benefits are recorded when the obligation is accrued, and they are usually paid during the following twelve month period. Consequently they are not discounted.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the provisions recorded as a result of services granted and unpaid are as follows:

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

### Severance Indemnity

The Company records a liability for the payment of an irrevocable severance indemnity, originated by collective and individual agreements entered into with some groups of employees. Such obligation is determined by means of the current value of the benefit accrued cost, a method that considers several factors for the calculation, such as estimates of future continuance, mortality rates, future salary increases and discount rates. The so-determined value is presented at the current value by using the severance benefits accrued method. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest rates curves for high quality entrepreneurial bonds, with an average duration equivalent to the estimated terms for the payment of such severance, plus the Central Bank estimated inflation, and the margin applicable to companies with a rating equivalent to AA or higher. The discount rate in Chile was 7.7% and in Argentina 13.9%, for each year ended as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Effects of the earthquake of February 2010

Damages caused by the earthquake of February 27, 2010, are adequately covered as CCU, its subsidiaries and investments accounted for using the equity method have insurance policies that cover All Risk in losses for physical assets destruction or damage to, such as inventories and fixed assets (“Physical Damage”), and business interruption (“BI”) damages. The maximum total indemnity is UF 15.4 million (equivalent to ThCh$ 330,415 million as of December 31, 2010). The insurance policies have a deductible for “Physical Damage” of 2% over the insured value by location, with a limit of
UF 10,000, also by location (equivalent to ThCh$ 215 million) and 10 days for the "BI".

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has recorded in its financial statements under the item "Account receivable - trade and other receivables" an amount of ThCh$ 27,315,436, which includes the following: (i) inventory destroyed, valued at their book value, and additionally, (ii) disposal of assets valued at their book value, and (ii) costs and expenses incurred up to that date, arising from tasks such as asset repairing, asset order setting and cleaning as well as business interruption mitigation activities, all duly covered by the insurance policies described above.

Also, at the same date, the Company has received partial compensation advances from the Insurance Companies for an amount of ThCh$ 21,721,759, which have been recorded in the financial statements reducing the Item "Account receivable - trade and other receivables".

2. "Physical Damage" oh the fixed assets to write off, which will be compensated at replacement value.

3. Additionally, the Company has not registered the income related to the "BI” concept.

The three concepts mentioned above have been given the character of contingent assets and they will be recognized in the financial statements net of appropriate deductibles according to the liquidation process progress. Recoverable amounts over the book values are expected to properly cover the value of deductibles.

Finally, the Company has recorded expenses due to higher provisions for bad debts and write-offs of physical assets that are not covered by the insurance policies, which represent, as a whole, a lower profit before tax of ThCh$ 293,835.
