Lodhi Director / Secretary Date: 9th March 2001 Registered Office: 75 Westow Hill, Crystal Palace, London, SE19 1TX 18 UNITED BREWERIES INTERNATIONAL (UK) LIMITED STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:- (1) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. (2) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. (3) State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. (4) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 19 UNITED BREWERIES INTERNATIONAL (UK) LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors United Breweries International (UK) Limited We have audited the consolidated financial statements on pages 4 to 17 which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 8. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors As described on page 2 the group's directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those financial statements and to report our opinion to you. We did not audit the financial statements of United Breweries International (UK) Limited or its subsidiaries as individual entities for the year ended 31st December 1999. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included for the year ended 31st December 1999, is based solely on the other auditors' reports. Basis of opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all information and explanations which we consider necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud, other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of the information in the financial statements. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Opinion In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of United Breweries International (UK) Limited and the group as at 31st December 2000 and 31st December 1999 and of the profits of the group for the years then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom.

Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Turnover: Turnover represents the amounts receivable by the group for goods sold, services supplied and commissions receivable and is stated net of value added tax. Stocks: Stocks are valued on a first-in, first-out basis at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Taxation: Corporation tax is provided on taxable profits at current rates.
