CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

          Unless otherwise specified, all references to “U.S. dollars,” “dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars and all references to “Chilean pesos,” “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos.  Viña Concha y Toro S.A. (“Concha y Toro” or the “Company”), a corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) formed under the laws of the Republic of Chile (“Chile”), publishes its consolidated financial statements in Chilean pesos that are adjusted to reflect changes in purchasing power due to inflation.  See Notes 2(d), 25 and 37 to the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and  2004 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) contained in Item 18.  Unless otherwise specified, financial information regarding the Company is presented in constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004 and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of Chile (“Chilean GAAP”).  Chilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  See Note 37 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 18.  Amounts in tables appearing in this Annual Report may not total due to rounding.

          Glossary of Special Terms

          Lees:  Sediment comprising dead yeast cells and other particles remaining in wine after fermentation.  Red wine is transferred off this sediment.  Some white wines are left on their lees (sur lie) to add flavor and complexity.

          Maceration:  Refers to period during which the must or wine remains in contact with the grape skins.  Alcohol acts as a solvent, extracting color, tannin and aroma from the skins.

          Malic Acid:  Component of wine.  Accounts for green and sour taste of wine made from unripe grapes.  See “malolactic fermentation.”

          Malolactic fermentation:  Conversion by bacteria (not yeast) of malic acid into lactic acid.  Softens wine and reduces overall acidity.  A process now applied to all red wines, but not all white wines.

          Must:  Freshly crushed grape juice (with or without skins), pre-fermentation.

          Sparkling Wines:  Effervescent wines.

          Table Wines:  Non-sparkling wines with at least 11.5% alcohol by volume which are traditionally consumed with food.

          Vinífera:  Of, relating to or being derived from premium grapes used in wine making.

          Viniculture/Viticulture:  The cultivation of grapes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company and certain plans and objectives of the Company with respect to these items.  Forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.  In particular, among other statements, certain statements in Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview” with regard to management objectives, trends in market shares, market standing and product volumes, and the statements in Item 5 —  “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and Item 11 — “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” with regard to trends in results of operations, margins, overall market trends, interest rates, and exchange rates are forward-looking in nature.  By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future.

          There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors identified in Item 3 —  “Key Information — Risk Factors” of this Annual Report and in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 1994 (No. 33-84298), levels of consumer spending in major economies, changes in consumer tastes and preferences, the levels of marketing and promotional expenditures by the Company and its competitors, raw materials and employee costs, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or dispositions.

(1)

Determined by multiplying per Share amounts by 50 (1 ADS = 50 Shares).

(2)

Calculated on the basis of the number of shares outstanding and fully paid together with the pro-rata portion of the number of shares outstanding but not yet fully paid for each period.

(3)

These ratios, which are expressed as percentages, were calculated as follows:  Operating margin = (Operating income)/(Revenues from sales);

 

Net margin = (Net income)/(Revenues from sales); Debt to equity = (Short and long-term borrowing)/(Total shareholders’ equity);

 

Debt to capitalization = (Short and long-term borrowing)/(Short and long-term borrowing plus Total shareholders’ equity).

 

Ratios presented have been rounded.

(4)

Based on Chile’s Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the period December 1 to November 30 of each year required to be used for price-level restatement purposes under Chilean GAAP.

          Unless otherwise indicated, U.S. dollar equivalent information, except export figures, for information in Chilean pesos, is based on the Observed Exchange Rate for December 31, 2004, which was Ch$557.40 per U.S. dollar.  No representation is made that the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar amounts shown herein could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos, as the case may be, at any particular exchange rate or at all.

Exchange Rates

          Banco Central de Chile (the “Central Bank of Chile”) authorizes three types of exchange rates in Chile:  (i) a reference rate set by the Central Bank of Chile, (ii) a rate set in the formal institutional market for foreign exchange currency, and (iii) a rate set in a less regulated informal market for foreign exchange.

          Pursuant to Law 18,840, the Central Bank of Chile sets the dólar acuerdo, which is a forecast of exchange rates used as a reference exchange rate (the “Reference Exchange Rate”).  The Reference Exchange Rate is published by the Central Bank of Chile for each day of the next month based on the following considerations:  (i) the previous month’s domestic inflation rate, (ii) a factor for international inflation and (iii) a formula pegged to the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the Euro.  These three currencies were chosen because they are the currencies of Chile’s principal trading partners.

          The Central Bank of Chile also authorizes commercial banks and certain other entities to conduct foreign exchange transactions on a free market basis (the “Formal Exchange Market”).  The daily average exchange rate (the “Observed Exchange Rate”) at which transactions are carried out in the Formal Exchange Market is published daily in Chilean newspapers.  Prior to September 2, 1999, participants of the Formal Exchange Market were authorized to carry out their transactions within a specified range above or below the Reference Exchange Rate (the “Exchange Band”).  As of September 2, 1999, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated the Exchange Band, allowing the exchange rate to fluctuate freely.  The Central Bank of Chile has announced a policy to intervene in the Formal Exchange Market only in certain exceptional cases, which interventions will be publicly disclosed.

          The Mercado Cambiario Informal (the “Informal Exchange Market”) is a currency market comprised of exchange houses and money changers in Chile.  The Informal Exchange Market reflects the supply and demand for foreign currency and the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate freely, above or below the Observed Exchange Rate.  Since 1990, the rate of exchange for pesos into U.S. dollars in the Informal Exchange Market has been similar to that in the Formal Exchange Market.  The Observed Exchange Rate as of May 31, 2005 was Ch$580.20 per U.S. dollar.

          The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and year-end Observed Exchange Rates for U.S. dollars for each year indicated, and for each month during the six previous six months, as reported by the Central Bank of Chile.  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report anybuying rate for Chilean pesos.

Risk Factors

          Risks Relating to the Company

          Agricultural Risks.  Wine-making and grape-growing are subject to a variety of agricultural risks.  Diseases, pests, drought, frosts and certain other weather conditions can materially and adversely affect the quality, quantity and cost of grapes available to the Company from its own vineyards and from outside suppliers, thereby materially and adversely affecting the supply of the Company’s products and its profitability.

          The last severe freeze occurred in October 1991, and mainly affected the vineyards located in the Maipo region.  From 1996 to 1998, Chile experienced drought conditions which had an impact on the quality and yields of the grapes.  Future freezes or drought conditions in Chile could severely affect the quantity or quality of the production of wine by the Company.  See Item 4 —”Information on the Company — Chilean Wine Industry Overview.”

          Phylloxera, a pest which attacks roots of grapevines, has widely infested vineyards outside of Chile but to date has never been found in Chilean vineyards.  The Company, like most Chilean wine grape growers, still uses the French root varieties which are susceptible to phylloxera.  While the Company carefully screens new root stock for signs of infestation, and regulations imposed by the Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (the “Chilean Agriculture Service”) require that all vegetation introduced into Chile be isolated under observation for a period of two years, there can be no assurance that the Company’s vineyards and other Chilean vineyards will continue to be phylloxera-free.  Infestation could have a material adverse effect on the Company while vineyards are being replanted and as they come into full production.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Chilean Wine Industry Overview  —  Phylloxera.”

          Risks Associated with Higher Taxes, Tariffs.  In 2004, the Company’s export sales to third parties represented 55.9% of total revenues and sales of its foreign subsidiaries represented 19.8% of total revenues.  Wines are subject to a number of taxes and tariffs, including excise taxes in the United States and the Company’s other principal export markets.  Additional increases in such taxes and tariffs could depress wine consumption in those markets and could adversely affect the Company’s sales.

          In addition, there is a risk that other countries could impose or threaten to impose restrictions on imports of certain countries’ wines in connection with trade negotiations with such countries.  Although Chile has not been the specific target of such actions or threats from the United States, the European Union or other countries, if restrictions were imposed on Chilean wines, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

          Increases in Chilean taxes on wine could adversely affect the Company’s wine sales in Chile.

          Government Regulation.  The production and sale of wine is subject to extensive regulation within and outside of Chile.  Those regulations control such matters as licensing requirements, trade and pricing practices, permitted and required labeling, advertising and relations with wholesalers and retailers.  For example, it is the current policy of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that any statements made by a wine producer promoting the potential health benefits of wine must be balanced and must include appropriate statements regarding the established harmful effects of alcohol use.  In recent years, U.S. federal and state regulators have required warning labels and signage.  There can be no assurance that new or revised regulations or increased licensing fees and related requirements will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its results of operations.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Government Regulation.” Future expansion of the Company’s existing facilities and development of new vineyards and wineries may be limited by present and future zoning ordinances and other legal requirements.  Availability of water and requirements for handling waste water can limit the Company’s growth.  While the Company believes that it will continue to be in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that future legislative or regulatory developments will not impose restrictions which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Government Regulation.”

6


          Dependence on Distributors.  The Company relies on distributors to sell its products in export markets.  Sales to the Company’s largest distributor, Banfi Products Corporation (“Banfi”) in the United States represented 22.3% of the Company’s total export revenues in 2004, and 25.6% of total export revenues in 2003.  Sales to the Company’s five largest distributors, including Banfi, represented 44.1% and 51.2% of total export revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are expected to continue to represent a substantial majority of the Company’s total export revenues in the future.  Although the Company has long-term written agreements with most of its largest distributors, the Company’s policy with respect to most of its distributors is to have oral agreements which may be terminated upon prior notice by either party.  The replacement or poor performance of the Company’s distributors or the Company’s inability to collect accounts receivable from its distributors could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, the Company’s strategy to expand sales in major export markets is to a large extent dependent on the performance of its distributors.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Company Sales — Export Markets — Distribution in Export Markets.”

          Distributors and retailers of the Company’s products often offer wines which compete directly with the Company’s products for shelf space and consumers.  Accordingly, there is a risk that these distributors or retailers may give higher priority to products of the Company’s competitors.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s distributors and retailers will continue to purchase the Company’s products or provide the Company’s products with adequate levels of promotional support.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Company Sales — Export Markets — Distribution in Export Markets.”

          Dependence on Suppliers.  The Company relies on Cristalerías de Chile S.A. (“Cristalerías”) to supply almost all of its bottle requirements.  Cristalerías is a principal shareholder of one of the Company’s main competitors, Viña Santa Rita S.A. (“Santa Rita”).  Although the Company believes that alternate suppliers are available, an interruption in the supply of bottles from Cristalerías to the Company for any reason could result in a short-term material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

          The Company has a license from Tetra Pak de Chile Comercial Ltda. (“Tetra Pak Chile”) to package wine in Tetra Brik packages, and purchases these unassembled pre-printed packages from Tetra Pak Chile.  Wine sold in Tetra Brik packages accounted for approximately 75.5% and 61.9% of the Company’s domestic sales by volume and value, respectively, in 2004 and 75.6% and 60.3%, respectively, in 2003.  Although the Company believes that alternate suppliers are available, an interruption in the supply of Tetra Brik packages to the Company for any reason could result in a short-term material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.  See — Item 4 “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Bottling.”

          The Company currently relies on approximately 580 outside vineyards for supplies of grapes and approximately 50 producers for bulk wine.  In 2004 and 2003, approximately 75% and 70%, respectively, of the grapes used in the production of its premium, varietal, varietal blend and sparkling wines were purchased by the Company from independent growers in Chile.  Additionally, in 2004, the Company purchased grapes and bulk wine required to produce approximately 100% of the popular wines sold by the Company.  Most of the Company’s agreements with growers only cover one year’s production and are renewed from year to year.  In 2004, the Company had long-term contracts with up to approximately 4.3% of its growers, primarily in the Maipo and Casablanca Valleys.

          Disruptions of supplies of grapes or wine or increases in prices from these outside suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

          Competition.  The wine industry in Chile and in the Company’s export markets is intensely competitive.  In Chile and in approximately 110 other countries, the Company’s wines compete with wines and other beverages from Chile and other countries.  Chilean wines, in general, compete with wines produced in the United States, Europe, Australia, South Africa, South America and New Zealand.  In addition, the Company’s wines compete with other beverages including soft drinks, liquors, beer and, in Chile, pisco (a Chilean grape spirit).  Many of the Company’s competitors in Chile and abroad have significantly greater financial resources than the Company.

7


          Due to competitive factors, the Company may not be able to increase prices of its wines in line with rising farming, vinification, selling and promotional costs.  See Item 5  — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”  There can be no assurance that in the future the Company will be able to compete successfully with its current competitors or that it will not face greater competition from other wineries and beverage manufacturers.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Company Sales — Chilean Markets — Local Competition” and “ — Company Sales — Export Markets — Export Sales and Competition.”

          Dependence on Consumer Spending.  The success of the Company’s business depends on a number of factors which may affect the level of consumer spending and consumer spending patterns in Chile and in the Company’s export markets, including the general state of the economy, tax rates, the deductibility of business entertainment expenses under applicable tax laws, and consumer preferences, confidence and income.  Changes in consumer spending in Chile and in the Company’s export markets can affect the quantity and price of wines that customers are willing to purchase.  Such changes may result in reduced demand and lower prices for the Company’s products, limitations on the Company’s ability to pass through increased taxes and higher product costs to price-sensitive consumers, increased levels of selling and promotional expenses and decreased sales of the Company’s higher-priced premium and varietal wines.  Consequently, changes in consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  See Item 5 — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”

          Difficulty of Enforcing Judgments Under U.S. Federal Securities Laws.  The ability of a purchaser of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) of the Company to enforce judgments under the U.S. federal securities laws against the Company or its directors and executive officers may be limited by several factors.

          The Company is a sociedad anónima abierta (an “open stock corporation”) organized under the laws of Chile.  All of the company’s directors and officers and many of its advisors reside outside of the United States (principally in Chile).  All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and of these persons are located outside of the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on the Company or its officer, directors or advisors, or to enforce against them in United States courts judgments obtained in United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.

          The Company’s Estatutos (the “By-Laws”) provide that all legal actions brought by shareholders in their capacity as such, or among shareholders and the Company or its directors and executive officers, must be submitted to arbitration in Chile by an arbitrator chosen by mutual consent of both parties.  If the parties cannot select an arbitrator acceptable to both, an arbitrator will be appointed by the ordinary courts of Chile which, the Company believes, would likely appoint a Chilean arbitrator.  The By-Laws also provide that the arbitrator would act as an árbitro arbitrador, who under Chilean law would not be required to apply any particular body of law or procedures and would be authorized to decide the matter in accordance with his or her view of what is just and equitable.  Although the Ley de Sociedades Anónimas (“Chilean Corporation Law”) grants shareholders the right to bring actions against a Chilean company in the ordinary courts of Chile in certain cases, the Chilean Supreme Court has held in one case that a shareholder may not submit a claim against a corporation to the ordinary courts where, as in the case of the Company, the By-Laws provide only for arbitration.  This case, however, would not be controlling precedent in a subsequent case under Chilean law.  Therefore, a Chilean court could interpret Chilean law and the By-Laws to require that a claim brought by a holder of ADS predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws be submitted in Chile to arbitration.  Moreover, because an arbitrator is not required to apply any particular body of law or procedure to decide a matter, it is not clear that an arbitrator would consider a claim predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws.  Under Chilean law, therefore, there is doubt as to the ability of ADS holders to bring actions against the Company or its officers, directors or advisors based upon U.S. federal securities laws whether in Chilean courts or arbitration proceedings.

          In addition, a court in the United States might require that a claim predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the By-Laws.  In that event, a purchaser of ADS would be effectively precluded from pursuing remedies under the U.S. federal securities laws in U.S. courts.

          The Company has been advised by its Chilean counsel, Cruzat, Ortúzar & Mackenna Ltda. – Baker & McKenzie Abogados, that no treaty exists between the United States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments.  Chilean courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered by United States courts by virtue of the legal principle of reciprocity and comity, consisting of the review in Chile of the United States judgment in order to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected without reviewing

8


the merits of the subject matter in the case.  Nevertheless, the Company has been advised by Cruzat, Ortúzar & Mackenna Ltda. – Baker & McKenzie Abogados that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Chile of judgments rendered by United States courts in actions predicated upon the civil liability of the U.S. federal securities laws.

          Taxes.  Wines are subject to a number of taxes and tariffs, including excise taxes in the United States and the Company’s other principal export markets.  Increases in such taxes could depress wine consumption in those markets and adversely affect the Company’s sales.

          Seasonality.  The wine industry in general, and the Company in particular, have historically experienced, and are expected to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in revenues and net income.  In the past, the Company has had lower sales and net income during the first quarter and higher sales and net income during the third and fourth quarters.  The Company expects this trend to continue.  Sales can fluctuate significantly between quarters, depending on the timing of certain holidays and promotional periods, and on the rate at which distributor inventories are depleted through sales to wine retailers.  Sales volume tends to decrease if distributors begin a quarter with larger inventory levels, which is typically the case in the first quarter of each year.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Seasonality.”

          Risks Relating to Chile

          Dependence on the Chilean Economy.  As of December 2004, 92% of the Company’s assets were located in Chile.  In 2004 and 2003, sales in the Chilean market accounted for approximately 24.3% and 25.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.  Historically, domestic wine sales show a high degree of correlation with the economic situation prevailing in a country.  Accordingly, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are dependent to a significant extent upon economic conditions prevailing in Chile.  The main Chilean indicators for 2003 and 2004 were:

 

GDP grew 3.7% in 2003 and 6.1% in 2004.

 

 

 

 

Private consumption grew 4.1% in 2003 and 5.6% in 2004.

 

 

 

 

The unemployment rate was 7.4% and 7.8% in December 2003 and 2004, respectively. As of April 2005, the unemployment rate was 8.2% compared to 8.7% in April 2004.

 

 

 

 

Levels of investment increased 5.7% in 2003 and 12.7% in 2004.

The Company’s financial condition and results of operations could also be adversely affected by changes which the Company has no control over, including:

 

the economic or other policies of the Chilean government, which has a substantial influence on many aspects of the private sector;

 

 

 

 

other political or economic developments in or affecting Chile; and

 

 

 

 

regulatory changes or administrative practices of Chilean authorities.

          The Company’s financial condition and results of operations also depend to some extent on the level of economic activity in both Latin American and other countries.  Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country may affect the securities of issuers in other countries, including Chile.

          Volatile and Illiquid Nature of the Market for the Common Stock in Chile.  The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”), the Bolsa Electrónica de Chile and the Bolsa de CorredoresBolsa de Valores (collectively, the “Chilean Exchanges”).  The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States.  The Santiago Stock Exchange, which is Chile’s principal exchange and which accounted for over 81.9% of

9


Chile’s equity trading volume in 2004, had a market capitalization of approximately US$117 billion as of December 31, 2004, and an average monthly trading of US$1,095 million in 2004.  The ten largest companies in terms of market capitalization represented approximately 43.8% of the aggregate market capitalization of the Santiago Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2004.  Daily share trading volumes on the Santiago Stock Exchange are on average substantially lower than those on the principal national securities exchanges in the United States.  The ten most widely-traded stocks in terms of trading volume accounted for approximately 51.1% of all trading volume on the Santiago Stock Exchange in 2004.  During 2004, approximately 15.3 % of the securities listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange traded an average of 85% or more of the trading days.

          In addition, the Chilean securities markets may be affected by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in Latin America.

          Currency Fluctuations.  The Chilean peso has been subject to large fluctuations in value in the past,  most recently during 2004, and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.  See “Exchange Rates.”  Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and other currencies affect the performance of the Company’s ADS as well as its financial condition and results of operation in a variety of ways.

          Because the ADS are denominated in U.S. dollars, a decrease in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar may adversely affect the value of the Company and its Common Stock underlying the ADS.  Whether a depreciation of the Chilean peso would adversely affect the value of the Company and its assets would depend on a variety of factors, including the ability of the Company and investors to access the foreign exchange markets in Chile, the timing, volume and execution of the Company’s treasury functions to convert foreign currency into Chilean pesos, the value of revenues denominated in foreign currency relative to Chilean pesos, the relative balances of Chilean pesos and foreign currency owned by the Company at any time, and market perceptions of the severity of the impact of such events on the Company.  If these and other factors, which may influence the value of the Company and its assets in either direction, have an aggregate negative effect on the value of the Company and its assets, a depreciation of the value of the Chilean peso would result in a decrease of the valuation of the assets underlying the ADS in U.S. dollar terms, thereby resulting in a decrease in the value of the ADS.

          Because the Company’s export sales are primarily denominated in foreign currencies, changes in these foreign currencies to the Chilean peso may adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  Over 75.7% of the Company’s revenues are related to export sales that are denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Sterling Pounds, Canadian dollars, and Argentine pesos (sales of the Argentine subsidiaries).  Changes in these foreign currencies relative to the Chilean peso may result in operating losses for the Company and its subsidiaries.  In order to mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates, the Company enters into, from time to time, forward exchange agreements.  See Item 5 — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”

          The Company holds assets in Argentine pesos through its Argentine subsidiaries, which assets are subject to currency fluctuation.  Since 2004, the Company takes financial instruments to minimize this effect.  For 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized Ch$274 million, Ch$521 million and Ch$3,099 million, respectively, of losses due to the conversion of the financial statements and the depreciation of the Argentine peso.

          Because the Company purchases some of its supplies at prices set at U.S. dollars and sells the products in other currencies, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks that may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.  Most notably, the Company purchases bottles, corks and Tetra Brik packages at prices set in U.S. dollars.  To the extent that the Company sells products with these components for pesos or other non-U.S. currencies, changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies may result in losses and adversely affect the Company’s financial and operating results.  See Item 5 — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”

          In addition, cash distributions with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying the ADS are paid by the Company to the Depositary on behalf of shareholders in Chilean pesos.  The Depositary then converts the pesos to U.S. dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate to pay the dividend on the ADS in U.S. dollars.  If the value of the Chilean peso falls relative to the U.S. dollar between the declaration of dividends and the distribution of such dividends by the Depositary, the amount of U.S. dollars distributed to holders of ADS will decrease.  See “Exchange Rates.”

10


          Restrictions on Foreign Investment and Repatriation.  Historically, equity investments in Chile by individuals or entities that are neither resident nor domiciled in Chile have faced obstacles to repatriating profits and original investment out of Chile due to exchange control regulations.  Recently, the Central Bank of Chile relaxed foreign exchange restrictions, allowing entities and individuals to purchase, sell, keep and remit abroad foreign currency without restriction, although the Central Bank of Chile still imposes obligations to file reports of such transactions with it.

          The Central Bank of Chile adopted a new Foreign Exchange Regulations Compendium (the New Regulations”) published in the Official Gazette on January 23, 2002 and effective as of March 1, 2002. The New Regulations impose only three levels of restrictions or obligations on foreign exchange transactions in Chile: (i) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency must be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank) and reported to the Central Bank of Chile (e.g., investments, loans, deposits and certain other transactions in excess of US$10,000); (ii) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency to be remitted abroad must be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market without any reporting obligation (e.g., all license and royalty payments to be remitted abroad); and (iii) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency must only be reported to the Central Bank of Chile (i.e., payments regarding import and export transactions, etc.).

          Because the Law of the Central Bank of Chile authorizes the Central Bank of Chile to regulate foreign exchange transactions, including those relating to ADS facilities, it may re-establish more restrictive regulations on foreign exchange affecting ADS holders of the Company at any time.  If imposed, such regulations could, among other things, restrict the ability of ADS holders to dispose of the underlying shares of Common Stock of the ADS or to repatriate proceeds of the Common Stock.  The duration or impact of any such restrictions would be difficult to assess.

          The ADS facility is subject to a contract between the Depositary, the Company and the Central Bank of Chile (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) that grants the Depositary and the holders of the ADS access to Chile’s Formal Exchange Market and permits the Depositary to remit dividends received from the Company to holders of ADS without restriction.  See Item 10 — “Additional Information —  Exchange Controls” for a more detailed description of the new regulations and the Foreign Investment Contract.  The Foreign Investment Contract is currently in force and will continue to govern the ADS facility until all parties agree to terminate it.  If the Foreign Investment Contract is terminated, the ADS facility would then become subject to the New Regulations.  Under Chilean legislation, a Foreign Investment Contract may not be altered or affected adversely by actions of the Central Bank of Chile.

          Under the Foreign Investment Contract transferees of shares withdrawn from the ADS facility will not be entitled to access Chile’s Formal Exchange Market unless the withdrawn shares are redeposited with the Depositary.  Cash and property dividends paid by the Company with respect to ADS held by a non-Chilean resident holder are subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld by the Company.  However, stock dividends are deemed a non taxable event pursuant to Chilean Income Tax Law, thus, not subject to Chilean taxation.  See Item 10 — “Additional Information — Taxation.”

          Differences in Corporate Disclosure and Accounting-Taxation Standards.  The principal objective of Chile’s securities laws that govern publicly traded companies, such as the Company, is to promote disclosure of all material corporate information to investors.  In addition, Chilean law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation.  However, the Chilean securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets and Chilean disclosure requirements differ from those in the United States.  These differences may result in fewer protections for holders of ADS than if United States securities laws governed the company’s domestic securities transactions.

          There are also important differences between Chilean and U.S. accounting principles and reporting standards.  As a result, Chilean financial statements and reported earnings may differ from those reported based on  U.S. accounting and reporting standards.  Dividends can be paid only from the Company’s income determined in accordance with Chilean GAAP.

11


          Differences in Shareholders’ Rights.  The corporate affairs of the Company are governed by Chilean law and the By-Laws.  The By-Laws perform functions similar to those performed by both the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of a corporation incorporated in the United States.  See Item 10 — “Additional Information — Estatutos (By-Laws).”  Principles of law applicable to the Company and its shareholders, however, differ from those that would apply if the Company were incorporated in the United States.  In addition, the shareholders of the Company may have fewer or less well-defined rights protecting their interests under Chilean law than they would have as shareholders of a corporation governed by the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction.

          Inflation.  Although inflation in Chile has moderated in recent years, historically Chile has experienced high levels of inflation.  High levels of inflation in Chile could adversely affect the Chilean economy and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  The annual rates of inflation for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were 2.5%, 1.0% and 3.0%, respectively.

          The Company believes that moderate inflation will not materially affect its business in Chile.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that inflation in Chile will not increase significantly from its current levels and that the operating results of the Company or the value of the ADS will not be affected adversely by a continuation of or an increase in the level of inflation.

ITEM 4:

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

History and Development of the Company

          Concha y Toro is a corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized under the laws of Chile.  The Company’s deed of incorporation was executed on December 31, 1921 and the Company was registered in the Registro de Comercio de Santiago on November 6, 1922.  The Company’s principal executive offices are located at Casilla 213, Nueva Tajamar 481, Torre Norte, Piso 15, Santiago.  The Company’s telephone number at that location is (562) 476-5000 and the Internet address is www.conchaytoro.com.  The complete legal name of the Company is Viña Concha y Toro S.A.

          The Company is the largest Chilean producer and exporter of wines in terms of both volume and value, with total wine sales in 2004 of 165 million liters and Ch$180,524 million, respectively, representing 95.9% of  2004 revenues (Ch$188,207 million).

          The Company was founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and Don Ramón Subercaseaux Mercado.  Don Melchor was the grandson of Don Mateo de Toro y Zambrano, who presided over the first government following Chile’s independence from Spain in 1810.  The family had received the title of Marqués de Casa Concha from King Philip V of Spain in 1718.  The winery was established in the Pirque region, on the border of the Maipo River, on land which belonged to Don Melchor’s wife, Doña Emiliana Subercaseaux.  The vines used came from Bordeaux, France and were the traditional varieties of that area: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.  These varieties were brought to Chile before phylloxera devastated French vineyards.  M. de Labouchère, a French oenologist, came to Chile to oversee the planting and the first harvest.  The Company remained a family business until 1921, when the Concha family decided to convert it into a limited liability stock company and issued shares to all of its family members.  In 1933, these shares began trading on the Santiago Stock Exchange.

          The Company owns and operates vineyards that grow grapes for use in the Company’s wine-making operations, vinification plants (which convert grapes into wine), bottling plants and its wine distribution network.  Within Chile, the Company owns twenty-six vineyards and leases five other vineyards, located in Chile’s seven principal wine growing regions.  In addition to its properties in Chile, the Company owns 764 hectares of land near Mendoza, Argentina.

12


          In domestic and export markets, the Company’s bottled wines are sold in the premium, varietal, varietal blend and sparkling wine segments.  In the domestic and export markets, the Company sells popular wines, packaged primarily in one liter, 1.5, and 2.0 liter Tetra Brik packages.  A small quantity of wine, 0.4% of total revenues, was sold in bulk form in domestic and export markets.

          The Company sells its premium wines under brand names including: Don Melchor, Amelia, Terrunyo, Marqués de Casa Concha, Casillero del Diablo, Trio and Late Harvest.  The Company sells its varietal and varietal blend wines under the brand names Sunrise, Concha y Toro and Frontera — and in some export markets, under the brand names Tocornal, Cono Sur and Maipo.  The Company sells popular wines under the brand names Tocornal, Clos de Pirque, Exportación and Fressco.  See “Chilean Wine Industry Overview — Wine Classifications,” “Business Overview — Company Sales — Chilean Markets” and “ — Company Sales — Export Markets.”

          The Company’s first initiative toward the development of more complex wines was the launching of Casillero del Diablo in 1965.  Casillero del Diablo was made from selected grapes and aged two years longer than the standard Cabernet Sauvignon then being produced.  Today, Casillero del Diablo is the largest seller among the Company’s premium wines.  In the past three years, the Company’s marketing efforts have been focused on its Casillero del Diablo brand.  Through a global marketing campaign that started in August 2001 and with a new packaging launched in 2002, the Company’s target is to transform Casillero del Diablo into a global brand. In 2004, global sales of Casillero del Diablo totaled 1.5 million cases.

          The Company has grown to become the largest wine producer in Chile by combining the wine-making traditions of its founders with state-of-the-art technology.  The Company believes that key factors in its past success and in any future success are:

 

the ability to maintain competitive prices while continuing to improve the quality of its wines;

 

 

 

 

the development of new opportunities and markets; and

 

 

 

 

the promotion of its higher priced varietal and premium products.

          The Company also believes that it has competitive advantages in export markets due to the lower costs of land and labor in Chile compared to its competitors in other principal wine-making countries such as the United States.

          The Company conducts its operations directly and through subsidiaries.  The Company’s distribution business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Comercial Peumo Ltda. (“Comercial Peumo”), Transportes Viconto Ltda. (“Transportes Viconto”) and Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A. (“Peumo Argentina”).  In December 2000, the Company formed a fully-owned sales and distribution subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Concha y Toro UK Limited.  This subsidiary commenced operations in March 2001.  See “Business Overview — Other Businesses.”

          The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sociedad Exportadora y Comercial Viña Maipo Ltda. (“Viña Maipo”), currently exports Viña Maipo brand wines and holds investments in affiliated companies.  The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Viña Cono Sur S.A., is involved in the sale, both in the local and export market, of Cono Sur, Isla Nergra and Tocomal brand wines.  In 1996, the Company, through Comercial Peumo and Viña Maipo, acquired Viña Patagonia S.A. (“Viña Patagonia”), the Company’s first non-Chilean subsidiary. In 2001, Viña Patagonia changed its trading name to Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A. (“Viña Trivento”) to reinforce the marketability of Trivento its main brand and range of wines. Viña Trivento is located near Mendoza, Argentina.  In 1997, Viña Trivento obtained its first harvest and commenced exporting activities during the fourth quarter of 1997.  The operating assets of Viña Trivento primarily include a total of 764 hectares of land, with 706 hectares corresponding to arable land, cellars with a capacity of 28 million liters and other wine-making equipment.  In 1998, the Company, through Comercial Peumo and Viña Maipo, organized Peumo Argentina for the purpose of distributing wines of the Company and Viña Trivento in the Argentine market.

          In 1997, the Company and Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A. (“Rothschild S.A.”) formed a joint venture company organized under the laws of Chile, named “Baron Philippe de Rothschild - Concha y Toro S.A.”  The joint venture company changed its name to Viña Almaviva S.A. in June 1998 (“Viña Almaviva”).  The Company contributed approximately 40 hectares of producing vineyards located at Puente Alto to, and controls 50% of the capital of, Viña Almaviva.  Viña Almaviva is expected to produce a “Primer Orden,” or first-growth wine, the first of its kind ever produced in Chile.  “Primer Orden” wines are regarded to be the equivalent of Grand Cru Classé wines from the Bordeaux region of France.  In 1998, Viña Almaviva launched its first “Primer Orden” wines from its 1996 harvest under the name “Almaviva.”  Worldwide distribution (except Chile) of Almaviva is handled by select “French traders” of Bordeaux, France.  Distribution of Almaviva is handled by the Company in Chile.

          In connection with Viña Almaviva, the Company and Rothschild S.A. entered into certain agreements for the distribution of their respective products in selected regions.  Rothschild S.A. will oversee the marketing and distribution of the wines of the Company in France and in several markets in Asia (excluding Japan), and the Company will oversee the marketing and distribution of Rothschild S.A.’s wines throughout Latin America.

          In addition, the Company,  Rothschild S.A., and a former subsidiary of the Company Bodegas y Viñedos, Santa Emiliana S.A. (“Viñedos Emiliana”) that licenses the Company to sell wine under its brand name as described further below, have agreed that during the life of Viña Almaviva (i) each party will not produce a Chilean wine similar to and in the same price range as the “Primer Orden” wines to be produced by Viña Almaviva, (ii) Rothschild S.A. will not produce and sell any Chilean wine, and the Company and Viñedos Emiliana will not produce and sell any French wine, without the other party’s prior consent, and (iii) Rothschild S.A. will not sell or purchase any wine or grapes in Chile, and the Company and Viñedos Emiliana will not sell or purchase any wine or grapes in France, without the other party’s prior consent.

          In November 2000 the Company purchased 49.6% of Industria Corchera S.A. (“Industria” or “Industria Corchera”), a cork manufacturer.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company and Amorim & Irmaos S.G.P.S. S.A. (“Amorim”), a Portuguese company that produces and distributes cork worldwide, entered into a shareholders’ agreement providing for the transfer of shares and the administration of Industria Corchera.  An English translation of the shareholders’ agreement between the Company and Amorim is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report.  The Company and Amorim jointly own 99.68% of the capital stock of Industria Corchera.

          In addition to producing and bottling wine under its own labels, the Company has a license from Viñedos Emiliana to use Viñedos Emiliana’s brand name in Chile.  The Company bottles and sells in Chile for its own account a portion of its varietal wine production under Viñedos Emiliana’s labels, paying royalties in exchange for such rights.  In addition, under a contract with Viñedos Emiliana, the Company also bottles for a fee, wine produced by Viñedos Emiliana which is sold by Viñedos Emiliana for its own account under Viñedos Emiliana’s labels in export markets.  The Company and Viñedos Emiliana have a number of directors in common, as well as a significant percentage of common share ownership.  See Item 7 — “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions.”

Business Strategy

          After gaining increasing brand recognition for its products outside Chile, the Company continues to develop its domestic and export markets strategy by focusing on the sale of premium and varietal wines.  Additionally, the Company will continue to promote its popular wine sales actively.

 

In order to promote these strategies, the Company has:

 

 

 

 

continued investing in state-of-the-art technology and improved production methods, which enhance the quality of its premium and varietal wines;

 

 

 

 

introduced new products intended to expand its varietal and premium wine product lines;

 

 

 

 

fortified existing distribution channels;

14


 

increased its own grape production on existing or purchased vineyards to lower the cost and improve the quality of its principal raw material; and

 

 

 

 

entered new markets, such as Europe and Asia, where the potential exists to sell higher margin products.

          The Company has invested approximately Ch$138,800 million in agriculture, infrastructure and other wine business investments since 1995.  In 2004, the Company made approximately Ch$22,770 million (approximately US$41 million) of capital investments, which included increasing its vinification and cellar capacity, acquiring vineyards in production, planting new vineyards and buying new agriculture machinery, among others.  The Company has established a capital expenditure budget of approximately Ch$36,712 million (approximately US$61 million) for 2005 to support expected future growth in sales, and the corresponding increase in demand for grapes and production capacity.  Investments will be aimed at the acquisition of new vineyards, the construction of storage and vinification facilities, expansion of the bottling plant and acquisition of French and American oak barrels, for the production of all wines with an emphasis on premium and varietal wines.  The Company expects to continue planting wine vines, and developing the corresponding infrastructure needed on certain properties owned by the Company in Chile, as well as in Argentina.

          The Company believes that a key factor in its past success and in any future success is its ability to maintain competitive prices while improving the quality of its wines.  In order to increase its market share in the domestic market, the Company has maintained price competitiveness with beer and wine from other producers, introduced new wines targeted at different consumer segments, and increased marketing and advertising support for its products.  In export markets, the Company believes that it can continue to consistently offer high-quality wines at competitive prices in the premium, varietal and varietal blend segments and that such wines can successfully compete with the best European, Australian, South African and U.S. wines.  See “Business Overview — Domestic Marketing Strategies” and “ — Export Marketing Strategy.”

Chilean Wine Industry Overview

          Wine Producing Regions - Chile.  Chile is a country well-suited for growing fruit, including grapes.  Geographically, Chile is a strip of land running north to south approximately 4,345 kilometers (2,650 miles) long but only 400 kilometers (244 miles) at its widest point.  It is bordered by the Andes Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.  The area located between the town of La Serena in the north and the Bio-Bio River in the south, generally known as the Central Zone, is where vinífera grapes are grown.

          The Central Zone stretches for approximately 500 kilometers (309 miles) and is located between 32° and 38° latitude south.  This location coincides with the latitude band (30° to 50°) in which virtually all of the world’s wine-producing areas are located.  For instance, California’s vineyards are located at approximately 34° to 38° latitude north and Australia’s vineyards at 32° to 40° latitude south.  France’s vineyards are farther north between 40° and 51° latitude north.

          The climate of Chile’s Central Zone is defined as temperate Mediterranean with an extended dry season.  Rainfall mainly occurs during wintertime; with annual averages of 300 mm to 700 mm.  Pluviosity is strongly influenced by the El Niño and La Niña phenomenons.  If El Niño brings rainier and warmer conditions, La Niña leaves us with dry and colder weather.  Springs are usually mild albeit not completely frost-free; when they do hit, frosts strongly affect the production of grapes.  Our dry season spans from summertime to the early days of fall, a pattern which favors the ripening of both red and white grapes.

          The Company owns or leases vineyards in the seven principal wine-growing regions in Chile.  These regions include, from north to south: Limarí, Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curicó and Maule.  Most of these regions possess distinct weather and soil characteristics.  However, they share the important characteristics of cool nights and hot days with daily temperature variations of 12°C to 20°C (54°F to 68°F) in the summer. This type of climatic condition is essential for the growing of “wine quality” grapes.  See “Business Overview — Vineyards.”

15


          Limarí Valley.  Transversal valley runs from East to West, from the Andes to the Pacific, and is sited 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Santiago.  It is a fairly narrow valley limited by small mountainous chains to the north and south; its main features are sedimentary and mineral soils and a semiarid climate with strong maritime influence, especially in the area closer to the Pacific Ocean.  The absence of rainfall during ripening season, in addition to the extreme luminosity of the skies, make for concentrated grapes with enhanced color and aromas.  The varieties that benefit the most from this privileged setting are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah.

          Casablanca Valley.  The Casablanca Valley is located 100 kilometers (62 miles) northwest of Santiago and has deep, sandy, permeable soils and a cool climate.  The Company believes that this region represents an exceptional microzone to produce premium white wines, such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, due to its climatic conditions, especially its heavy maritime influence and morning fog during spring and summer.

          Maipo Valley.  The Maipo Valley, located just west of the Andes Mountains and south of Santiago, is renowned worldwide for the excellence of its red wines.  The Maipo Valley has a Mediterranean-type climate, with a dry summer and high daily temperature variations due to a climatic combination of oceanic and Andean influences.  Its soils are alluvial and colluvial, organically poor and abundant in gravel.  They are irrigated with glacial waters flowing from the Andes mountain range.

          Rapel Valley.  The Rapel Valley is located 100 to 180 kilometers (62 to 112 miles) south of Santiago between the cities of Rancagua and San Fernando.  It has a warm climate and deep, rich alluvial soils, irrigated by water from the Rapel and Cachapoal Rivers.  This region’s production is oriented towards red wines. 

          Cachapoal Valley.  Part of the greater Rapel Valley, Cachapoal is located 100 to 180 kilometers south of Santiago and covers the 80-kilometer long stretch (62 to 112 miles south of Santiago) between the cities of Rancagua and San Fernando.  Its benign weather, normally lacking in frosts and warm summers, suits varieties which call for a delayed harvest, such as Carmenere.  Irrigated by the Rapel and Cachpoal rivers, its soils have an alluvial origin and are deep and rich.  Most of this valley’s production is geared towards red wines.

          Colchagua Valley. This valley is part of the grand Rapel valley.  Its soils vary from the deep and fertile sandy-clay loam organically rich soils to sandy soils.  Its soils are irrigated by the water from the Tingiririca River. The valley is renowned for growing a wide range of grape varieties, where the Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere varieties stand out.

          Curicó Valley. The Curicó Valley is similar to the Rapel Valley in terms of its geographic features, soil and climatic conditions.  It is located between the Rapel and Maule Valleys, and its main commercial center is the city of Curicó.

          Maule Valley. The Maule Valley is located to the south of Curicó Valley, 200 to 400 kilometers (124 to 248 miles) south of Santiago.  This region has a warm climate, generous winter rains and organically rich soils.  Wines produced from grapes grown in the Maule Valley typically have higher alcohol content.

          Non-irrigated areas in the Maule Valley are planted with a rustic grape called País, which is used to produce table wine for the popular wines segment of the domestic market.

          The Company believes that Chilean land suitable for grape cultivation is cheaper than comparable land in most of the other wine-producing areas of the world.  Chilean vineyards take typically three to four years after planting to produce grapes that can be used for wine making.  A vineyard can produce grapes suitable for vinification for up to 40 years or more.  The annual growing season starts in September and lasts until March or April.  Harvest occurs between March and April, depending on the location of the vineyard and the variety of the grape being grown.

          Wine Producing Regions - Argentina.  The Company believes that the wine growing regions surrounding Mendoza, Argentina are capable of producing world class wines and will complement the export products currently being made in Chile.

16


          Maipú Region.  The Maipú region is located in the upper part of the Mendoza River, 18 kilometers (11 miles) to the southeast of the city of Mendoza.  This region has a temperate, dry climate.  Its soil is alluvial and sandy, somewhat organically poor but with very good drainage characteristics.  Day and nighttime temperatures vary by approximately 14ºC (57°F), which favors the production of red wines.

          Tupungato Region.  The Tupungato region is located 90 kilometers (56 miles) southwest of Mendoza and rises to approximately 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) above sea level.  Its soils are similar to those found in the Maipú region.  Because of the altitude and proximity to the Andes, the Tupungato Valley has a cooler climate than the Maipú region, which makes this region oriented towards the production of white wines.

          Rivadavia Region.  The Rivadavia region is located 80 kilometers (49 miles) southeast of Mendoza, and is part of East Mendocino region.  Its altitude is 660 meters above sea level in a zone of sandy soil with very good drainage characteristics.  The average temperature is higher than in the Maipú and Tupungato regions which, together with the availability of water from the Tunuyán River, allows for the optimal development of different varieties of grapes, the most important of which are the Malbec and Syrah varieties.

          La Consulta-San Carlos Region.  San Carlos region is located 110 kilometers (68 miles) southwest of Mendoza, in the region known as Valle de Uco, at the foot of the Andes Mountains.  The altitude in this area ranges from 1000 m to 1200 m (from 3.280 to 3.937 feet) above sea level.  Its soils are stony, sandy and very permeable, lacking in drainage or salinity problems, and are irrigated by the Tunuyán and Tupungato rivers. Daily temperature variation is 15ºC (27°F) of day-to-night fluctuation, an ideal scope for the development of optimum color and tannins in the grapes.

          San Martín Region. San Martín is located 50 kilometers (31 miles) to the southeast of Mendoza.  Altitudes in this zone sore up to 640 m to 750 m (2100 to 2460 feet) above sea level.  Its sandy-loam and sandy-lime soils are irrigated by the Tunuyán and Mendoza rivers.  The climate is temperate and is characterized by a pronounced annual temperature variation, a feature that favors the vine’s vegetative rest period.

          Phylloxera.  Phylloxera, a pest which attacks the roots of grapevines, has widely infested vineyards outside of Chile.  The pest generally renders a vine unproductive within a few years following initial infestation.  Although an infestation of phylloxera over time decreases the amount of fruit that a vine produces, it does not directly impair the quality of the fruit and poses no known human health hazards.  Since no pesticide has been proven to be effective in stopping the spread of phylloxera, the only known solution is to replant infested vineyards with resistant root stock.

          Chile is one of the few countries where pre-phylloxera Bordeaux cuttings are widely used, and as such, phylloxera has not been found in Chile to date.  The Company still uses the original French root varieties, introduced from France approximately 120 years ago, which remain free of this pest.  To protect itself from the possibility of phylloxera infestation, the Company carefully screens all cuttings before planting.  Regulations imposed by the Chilean Agriculture Service require that all vegetation introduced into the country be isolated under observation for a period of two years.  There can, however, be no assurance that the Company’s and other Chilean producers’ vineyards will remain free of phylloxera infestation.  Infestation would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its production of grape crops.

          Wine Classifications.  Wines are classified by Chilean wine producers as either sparkling wines or table (still) wines.  Sparkling wines are wines which obtain effervescence through a second alcoholic fermentation process.  With the exception of popular wines, Chilean table wines are generally classified according to (i) the variety or varieties of vinífera grape from which they are made, (ii) region of origin and (iii) vintage.  Table wines are also classified as either premium, varietal, varietal blend or popular wines.

          Premium wines are wines made from selected grapes of a single variety and aged in barrels.  These wines receive extra care throughout the production process and command higher prices.  Varietal wines can be made either of a single variety of grape or of a selective blend of varieties of grapes (known as varietal blends).  Popular wines are inexpensive wines which are not aged and are not made from a specific variety of grapes.

17


          In 1995, the Ministry of Agriculture implemented a decree to regulate wine bottle labeling, which included the use of grape varieties, vintage years and regional denominations of origin.  The decree was drafted by a committee (which included representatives of the Company) designated by the Asociación de Viñas de Chile A.G. (the “Exporters’ Association”).  The decree ordered that Chilean premium and varietal wines must contain at least 75% of the variety of grapes specified on the label.  This decree should enhance the image of the Chilean wine industry.  The Company has adopted most of the controls set forth in the decree and expects to benefit from the enhanced image of the Chilean wine industry.

Business Overview

          Vineyards

          In order to decrease its dependence on purchased grapes and wines and to gain greater control over the cost and quality of its principal raw material, the Company initiated a capital investment program in the beginning of the 1990s.  During these years the Company has purchased land and planted vines for the production of grapes for its premium, varietal and varietal blend wines in order to maintain its production of grapes in proportion to the growth in demand of its premium wines.  Over the past few years the Company has acquired land in other wine regions in order to diversify the agricultural risk.

          In March 2005, the Company acquired 2 vineyards in the Limarí valley with a total of 326 hectares of wine grapes planted.  With this acquisition the Company has an important participation in the Limarí valley which has a great potential for the production of high-quality grapes and at the same time providing greater diversification of the agricultural risk.  As of April, 2005, the Company had approximately 7,219 arable hectares (approximately 17,830 acres) on twenty six owned and five leased vineyards, located in the Limarí, Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curicó and Maule Valleys of the Central Zone in Chile and in six vineyards in the Maipú, Tupungato, Rivadavia, San Carlos and San Martín regions in Argentina.  As of April, 2005 approximately 83.9% of the arable land owned or leased by the Company is planted with wine-producing grapes in various stages of maturity.  Approximately 4,576 hectares (approximately 11,302 acres), or 76% of the Company’s planted hectares, are planted primarily with five types of noble grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.  In recent years, the Company has increased the planting of these five varieties of grapes in response to increasing consumer demand in the United States, Europe and Asia for premium and varietal wines.  The Company believes that with the plantings of these noble grape varieties, it should be able to respond to the shift in consumer demand for premium and varietal wines made from these varieties of grapes.  There can be no assurance, however, that consumer demand for these wines will increase in absolute terms or that consumption of wines produced by the Company from these varieties of grapes, as opposed to those produced by its competitors, will increase.  In addition, there can be no assurance that competitors of the Company, either singly or in the aggregate, will not be in a better position to take advantage of changing consumer demand patterns for premium and varietal wines, by reason of planted acreage or otherwise.

          The Company’s remaining land under cultivation is planted mainly with Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Syrah, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Viognier, Sangiovese and Zinfandel grapes.

          The Company expects that the vines planted in 2001 will be in full production in 2005 and that vines planted in 2002 will be in full production in 2006.

(1)

The Company’s current producing vineyards have an average age of approximately 11 years.

(2)

These hectares do not include 105.5 hectares of fruit trees planted on the Company’s Peumo and Idahue vineyards.  This land can be returned to grape production.  The vineyard also does not include 43 hectares held through Viña Almaviva.

(3)

The Company leases three vineyards in the Casablanca Valley (93.73, 125.79 and 27 arable hectares) with leases expiring in 2023, 2028 and 2036, respectively.

(4)

The Company leases this vineyard with 94.53 arable hectares in 1993 from Sociedad Protectora de la Infancia (“Protectora”), an unaffiliated, non-profit institution.  The lease of the land expires in 2013; however, the lease is cancelable by Protectora beginning in 2004, with one year’s notice and payment of a penalty.  In 2004 the Company leased a vineyard in production, 80.6 hectares,  from Viñedos Emiliana this lease expires in 2013.

          The Company believes that the diverse microclimates and soils of the areas in which its vineyards are located, as well as the trellis systems used in its vineyards, allow it to grow a wide variety of grapes and thereby offer a broad range of wines.  In addition, the Company believes that this diversity allows it to diminish the agricultural risks inherent in its operations.

          Although Chilean winters are relatively mild, Chilean vineyards have suffered frost damage; however the last severe frost occurred in October 1991.  Generally, September and October are the most likely periods for frost damage, especially in areas closest to the Andes Mountains.  The Company tries to protect its grapes against risk from frost through various preventive techniques, including the use of helicopters and stationary propellers to raise the temperature of the air by hovering over vineyards.  The Company has also taken steps to protect soil erosion and other ecological damage by using special irrigation methods.  As of April, 2005, the Company had an installed irrigation capacity of 5,500 hectares (13,585 acres), divided between drip irrigation (5,436 hectares (13,427 acres)) and “California” irrigation (64 hectares (158 acres)).

          Wine Production Methods

          Wine production methods vary by type and quality of wine.  The Company uses the following production methods (certain wine industry terms used in the following discussion are defined in “Certain Defined Terms — Glossary of Special Terms”):

19


          Premium Reds.  The company’s premium red wines are primarily made from select Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Malbec grapes grown in vineyards in the Maipo, Rapel and Maule valleys.  The wines are made in the Company’s Puente Alto, Cachapoal and Lourdes plants.  As part of its capital expenditure program, the Company has installed the most advanced stainless steel fermentation tanks available that incorporate refrigeration and heating systems.  Grapes are crushed, separated from their stems, and the must is fermented with the skins and pulp in stainless steel tanks at temperatures of 28°C to 30°C (82°F to 86°F), to obtain color and develop body.  The resulting wine is left in contact with the skin for longer periods in the case of premium red wines than for red varietal or varietal blend wines.  Contact with the skin and solids (the maceration process) give the wine body, color and complexity.  After separation and pressing of the solids to extract press wine, the wine is subjected to a malolactic fermentation process.  The malolactic fermentation uses either introduced or normally present bacteria to transform the malic acid with a lower Ph to lactic acid of higher Ph, producing a smoother and more biologically stable wine with enhanced aroma and bouquet.  The wines are then aged in French and American oak barrels for a period of eight to eighteen months, depending on wine type, brand and kind of barrel, in order to obtain additional body and complexity.  Once bottled, the wine is aged further in the Company’s wine cellars at Pirque for two to twelve months, depending on the brand.

          Premium Whites.  Grapes selected from the noblest varieties, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Riesling and Gewurztraminer from the Company’s Casablanca, Maipo, Curicó and Maule vineyards are crushed, separated from their stems and introduced into pneumatic presses in order to extract clean juice.  Unlike red wines, white wines are generally fermented without their skins and seeds.  In order to convert the sugar into alcohol, this juice is then fermented, in presence of yeast, in French and American oak barrels or temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, depending on variety, vineyard and brand.  Lower temperatures between 12°C and 18°C (53°F and 64°F) are considered optimal for quality during this process.  The resulting wine is aged on the fine lees in the same tanks as used in fermentation for at least six to eight months in order to obtain fruitiness, body and complexity.  Once bottled, premium white wines are aged from two to twelve months in the Company’s wine cellars, depending on the brand.

          Late Harvest is a sweet, aromatic dessert wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling grapes which have been left on the vine to over-ripen, resulting in a high concentration of sugar and a reduction in acidity.  The vinification process for Late Harvest is similar to that for the Company’s other premium white wines.

          Red Varietals and Varietal Blends.  The production process for red varietal and varietal blend wines is similar to that of premium red wines and involves grapes from the Company’s Rapel, Curicó and Maule vineyards.  These wines are macerated for a shorter period of time and are stored in stainless steel tanks and non-reactive epoxy-lined cement tanks until bottling.  Bottling normally begins approximately six months later.

          White Varietals and Varietal Blends.  Grapes from the Company’s Rapel, Curicó, Maule and Casablanca vineyards are crushed and separated from their stems before they are pressed to extract the grape juice.  The juice is then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wines are stored in stainless steel tanks or in inert epoxy-lined cement tanks for three months before bottling.

          Sparkling Wine.  Sparkling wines are the product of a second alcoholic fermentation of wine with yeasts in isobaric tanks for a period from two to eight months, depending on the type of sparkling wine.  This second fermentation allows for the retention of the characteristic effervescence.  The Company produces four types of sparkling wine in its Pirque plant.  The finest of the four, Brut Royal, is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling wines fermented first in the Puente Alto plant.  The Company’s most popular seller in Chile, Demi-Sec, is made with Company-grown Chenin Blanc grapes and is produced in the Cachapoal plant.  Finally, Moscato is made from Moscatel grapes produced in San Ignacio.

          Popular Wine.  The Company produced approximately 100% of its popular wine from grapes and bulk wine purchased from independent growers.  These grapes are vinified at four locations using a process similar to that used for varietal wines.  Popular wines are not aged; instead, they are bottled or packaged promptly.

          Bulk Wine.  Almost all the bulk wine sold by the Company is purchased from outside suppliers.

          Sources of Grapes and Purchased Wine

          Grapes are the main raw material in the wine making process.  In 2004 and 2003, approximately 75% and 70%, respectively, of the grapes used in the production of premium, varietal, varietal blend and sparkling wines were purchased from third parties.  In addition, the Company purchased grapes and bulk wine required to produce approximately 100% of its popular wines. Prevailing prices for grapes at harvest time reflect market conditions.

          Company Vineyards.  In 2004, approximately 50% of the Company’s production of premium wines and around 20%of its production of varietal, varietal blend and sparkling wines was from grapes grown on the Company’s owned and three leased vineyards in Chile.  The Company believes that production of its own grapes offers greater control over costs and quality and improves reliability of supply.  To that end, the Company continues to expand its grape production.  The Company’s policy is that, to the extent possible, only grapes grown in the Company’s own vineyards are to be used to produce the Company’s premium wines.

          Outside Suppliers.  In order to satisfy its need for grapes for the production of premium, varietal, varietal blend and sparkling wine not otherwise met by its own vineyards, as well as its requirements for grapes and bulk wine for 100% of its popular wines, the Company buys grapes from approximately 580 independent growers in Chile.  The identity of such growers, as well as the amounts purchased from them, does not change significantly from year to year, and most of these growers have been selling to the Company for many years.  The main criteria used to select independent growers are geographic location, the variety of grapes grown and the grower’s farming methods.  With the objective of assuring quality production, the Company offers its suppliers technical assistance based on the same rigorous criteria that is applied within its own wineries.  The Company also purchases small quantities of grapes from entities in which several of its directors, executive officers or members of their families have an interest.  See Item 7 — “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions.”

          In accordance with Chilean wine industry practice, most of the Company’s agreements with growers only cover one year’s production and are renewed from year to year.  This renewal is not compulsory and depends on the Company’s demand and seasonal market prices.  In order to minimize the risk of crop loss, the agreements are entered into between January and March each year, after the grapes have begun to mature and the size of the crop can be more accurately estimated.  Delivery schedules are agreed upon according to the degree of ripeness of each grape variety.  The management of these outside vineyards is directed by the Company’s own technical personnel, and the Company establishes standards regarding the use of pesticides, cultivation, harvest date, transportation system, sugar, acidity and Ph concentration.  Selection of the grapes and approval of their quality is carried out by the Company’s technical department.  The price of the grapes is proportional to the estimated alcohol content over 12% in the resulting wine.  Payment for grapes obtained from independent growers is made in ten interest-free installments throughout the year.  In 2004, the Company had long-term contracts with up to approximately 4.3% of its growers, primarily in the Maipo and Casablanca Valleys.

          Bulk Wine Purchases.  The Company purchases wine in bulk from a number of outside suppliers, for the wine used in the production of the Company’s popular wines in 2004.  The Company’s technical department approves such wine purchases.  Payments are traditionally made in ten interest-free monthly installments.

          Vinification

          The Company seeks to use the latest technology in all areas of vinification while maintaining the wine-making traditions of its founders.  The Company has seven vinification plants which convert grapes into premium, varietal and varietal blend wines.  The location of these plants, their capacity to vinify red and white grapes and actual production in 2004 are shown below.

Standard Capacity is calculated for a standard crush based on a normal vintage length and varies depending on climatic conditions, management and grape maturity. If the vintage period is longer than a normal one, allowing an increase in production over the standard vinification capacity.

          In March 2005, with the acquisition of the assets of Viña Francisco de Aguirre in Limarí valley, the Company added the Nueva Aurora Cellar located in Limarí with a vinification capacity of 5 million kilos.

          In addition, the Company’s facilities at Pirque have the capacity to produce 1.3 million bottles or 1.0 million liters of wine per year into sparkling wine.

          The Company uses a combination of epoxy-lined cement tanks, stainless steel tanks and French and American oak barrels to ferment and store its wine.  As of April, 2005, the Company’s total storage and fermentation capacity was approximately 232.8 million liters.

          The following table shows the Company’s approximate fermentation and storage capacity by type of container for the years indicated:

          Since 1987, the Company has been acquiring American and French oak barrels for use in the production of all its premium wines, except Late Harvest.  Although the use of oak barrels increases the Company’s production costs, the Company believes that it enhances the quality of its premium wines.  Oak barrels can be purchased in several sizes and are treated prior to delivery in accordance with the Company’s needs.  Oak barrels can be used for two years to produce the highest quality premium wines, such as Don Melchor, and can be used for another five years to enhance other wines.  As of April, 2005, the Company had more than 30,000 French and American oak barrels.

          French oak barrels are used to make the Company’s premium Don Melchor, Amelia, Terrunyo, Marqués de Casa Concha and Trio brand wines, and American oak barrels are used for its premium Casillero del Diablo brand wine.  The Company has increased its stainless steel storage capacity by approximately 22 million liters between April 2004 and 2005.  Most of the Company’s stainless steel tanks are fitted with cooling systems to prevent wine from deteriorating at higher temperatures.  All of the Company’s stainless steel tanks that are used in the fermentation process are equipped with heating and cooling systems to regulate the temperature in the fermentation  process.

22


          Bottling

          After vinification and, in the case of premium wines, aging, wine is ready to be bottled.  The Company has bottling plants in Pirque, Limarí and Lontué.  The Pirque bottling plant, located 28 kilometers from Santiago, is the Company’s principal bottling plant, and all of the Company’s premium, varietal, varietal blend and sparkling wines are bottled there.  The plant has four bottling lines accommodating bottles of 1,500 ml, 1 liter, 750 ml, 375 ml and 187 ml capacities. The facility in Pirque is equipped with the most advanced bottling and labeling equipment available, and has an installed capacity of 9.9 million liters per month when operating three eight hour shifts per day, six days a week.

          In March 2005, with the acquisition of the assets of Viña Francisco de Aguirre located in Limarí, the Company added a new bottling line with a production capacity of 3,000 bottles per hour.

          The Company’s bottling plant in Lontué, located 200 kilometers from Santiago, bottles wine in five liter glass jugs and in .5 liter, 1 liter, 1.5 liter and 2.0 liter Tetra Brik packages which are made of several layers of paper, aluminum and polyethylene.  Similar packages are used worldwide for juice, milk, wine and other products.  The Tetra Brik packaging line is completely automated.  The Company has a license from Tetra Pak Chile to utilize the Tetra Brik technology and purchases pre-printed unassembled packages from Tetra Pak Chile.  The Lontué plant’s Tetra Pak packaging machines have an installed capacity of 13.0 million liters a month based on three shifts operating eight hours a day, six days a week.

          The Company has a quality control department which controls the raw materials used in each bottling plant and tracks the product up to the point of sale through a system of computer coding for each bottle and case produced.  The Company also uses electronic monitoring equipment to ensure that bottles are filled to the correct level.

          All of the Company’s premium and export wines are bottled in new bottles.  Cristalerías, a principal shareholder of one of the Company’s main competitors, Santa Rita, supplies almost all of the Company’s bottles.  The Company obtains the remainder of its bottles from other Chilean and Argentine manufacturers.  Corks for most wines are produced in Spain and Portugal but are finished by Chilean firms.  The Company owns 49.84% of the principal cork supplier, Industria Corchera.  See Item 7 — “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions.”  The Company imports champagne corks from Germany.  Labels are produced in Chile, the United States and Canada.  Chilean companies supply cases and capsules (the tin, plastic or aluminum covering for the neck of a wine bottle).

          The Company believes that, except for bottles and Tetra Brik packages, alternative sources of supply are readily available.  The Company believes that it could find alternate suppliers for bottles and Tetra Brik packages, but it could be adversely and materially affected in the short-term.  New bottles and preprinted, unassembled Tetra Brik packages are priced in U.S. dollars.  Changes in the Chilean peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate could increase the cost of components and have a material adverse effect on the Company.

          Storage.  The Pirque bottling plant has a wine cellar with storage capacity of 2.5 million bottles for aging plus a warehouse for finished wine with a capacity of 178,000 cases (1.6 million liters).

          Domestic Distribution.  The Company has its own direct distribution capacity through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Comercial Peumo.  Comercial Peumo has a network of sixteen regional offices to service the entire Chilean national territory.  Its sales force is made up of 111 salespeople, 25 supervisors, and 3 sales managers.  Comercial Peumo also employs a specialized work force of sixty people for its merchandising operations.

          Comercial Peumo serves approximately 14,000 customers throughout Chile, making it the largest wine-oriented distribution company in Chile. The largest single customer accounted for 12.7% of the Company’s domestic sales in 2004.  No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s domestic sales.

23


          A wholly-owned subsidiary, Transportes Viconto, transports bulk wine products between the Company’s cellars, production and bottling facilities, and delivers wine products to container ships located in Chilean ports. Transportes Viconto relies on a twenty-one truck fleet, with a complement of trailers and tanks that has a total haulage capacity of 640 tons.  This fleet also transports finished products to Comercial Peumo’s sixteen regional offices throughout Chile.  Comercial Peumo subcontracts third party transportation services to distribute its products from its regional offices to its commercial clients.

          Company Sales - Chilean Markets

          Domestic Wine Sales.  The Company’s domestic sales in liters, excluding sales of bulk wine, in 2002, 2003 and 2004 were approximately 59.6 million liters, 63.0 million liters and 65.4 million liters, respectively, resulting in gross revenues of Ch$31,031 million, Ch$32,790 million and Ch$38,564 million, respectively.

          The Company’s bulk wine sales fluctuate from year to year because the Company sells bulk wine in the domestic market to reduce excess inventories.  In 2004, sales of bulk wine represented 0.3% of total wine sales in the domestic market.  The Company expects to concentrate future sales efforts on bottled wines, which in turn should reduce the volume of bulk wine sales.

          The Company is the largest wine producer in Chile and according to A.C. Nielsen, in 2004, the Company had the largest share of the domestic market with a 25.0% share in terms of volume and a 22.7% share in value. The Company competes in all segments of the branded Chilean market and seeks to keep prices competitive to make its products attractive to consumers.  Its variety of brands allows it to target different market segments, from its upscale premium Don Melchor to its popular wine lines, while maintaining a competitive price/quality relationship across the range.

          In 2004, approximately 43.4% of the Company’s sales were to supermarkets, 49.0% to large clients or distributors and minimarkets and 7.6% to the on-trade channel including restaurants, hotels and specialized stores. The following tables show the Company’s total domestic sales in constant Chilean pesos and liters by market segment, for each of the calendar years indicated:

Popular wine prices are per 1,000 ml., except Exportacion and Fressco which are priced per 1,500 ml.

          Local Competition.  The Company competes with a number of other Chilean wineries.  The Company’s competitors in the premium segment are large and medium-sized Chilean wineries, mainly Santa Rita, Viña San Pedro S.A. (“San Pedro”), Bodegas y Viñedos Santa Carolina S.A., Viña Undurraga S.A., Viña Errázuriz S.A., Cousiño Macul S.A. and Viña Tarapacá S.A.  The Company also competes, to a much lesser extent, with small Chilean wineries whose production and sales of premium wines are aimed primarily at export markets.  Sales in the popular wine segment are concentrated in wines packaged in Tetra Brik packages.  In 2004, Tetra Brik sales represented approximately 80% of all Chilean sales by volume in the popular wine segment.  The Company believes that non-Chilean wineries have negligible sales in Chile because they find it difficult to match the price-value relationship offered by Chilean wineries, especially in the popular wine segment.

          Popular wines produced in Chile, including those of the Company, also compete with other beverages such as beer, pisco and soft drinks.  In 2004, the ratio of popular wine prices to beer prices increased from 1.48 in December 2003 to 1.76 in December 2004 mainly as a result of the increase in wine prices in the local market across all popular wine categories.  In the face of increased competition by other beverages and in order to continue gaining market share, the Company has intensified its marketing efforts in the popular wine segment.  See “Business Overview — Domestic Marketing Strategies.”

          The following table shows the relationship between popular wine and beer prices and the Company’s sales for the years indicated:

          Domestic Marketing Strategy

          The Company is seeking to increase its market share in all segments of the Chilean wine market, especially in the premium and varietal wine segment.  The Company believes it is well positioned within this market due to its portfolio of brands which it believes successfully competes with other wine producers in all segments of the domestic market.

          In terms of distribution, the strategy of the Company is to be present in all relevant channels for wine sales in Chile, with special focus in supermarkets and the retail channel.  Accordingly, the retail sector of the Company has been strengthened both in commercial and marketing terms.

          Regarding the portfolio of products, the Company is permanently developing new formats and updating the presentation of its products.  Advertising methods and marketing strategies differ depending on whether the targeted segment is comprised of potential consumers of the Company’s premium, varietal, varietal blend, or popular wines.  During 2004, the greatest efforts in advertising were focused on strengthening Clos de Pirque and Fressco brands in the market through mass media campaigns including television and press.

          Company Sales - Export Markets

          According to the Exporters’ Association, exports of Chilean wine totaled US$ 835 million and 468 million liters in 2004 representing an increase of 24.6% in value and 18.5% in volume as compared to 2003.

          Export Sales and Competition.  The Company is the largest exporter of Chilean wines on both a volume and US$ value basis with market share in 2004 of 18.5% and 23.0% (including bulk) respectively, according to the Exporters’ Association.  The Company’s bottled wine market share by volume and US$ value was 29.4% and 25.5%, respectively, in 2004. The Company’s closest Chilean competitor in the bottled export segment, in terms of volume and US$ value, reported the equivalent of 45.8% and 39.3% of the Company’s sales, respectively.

          The following table sets forth the Company’s export market share among Chilean wine producers, as a percentage of both volume and US$ value for the years 2000 to 2004:

          Europe.  In 2004, sales to Europe increased by 37.1% in value terms to approximately US$97.5 million or 50.5% by US$ value of Company exports.  In 2004, premium wine sales to Europe represented 53.1% of the Company’s total premium wine sales by US$ value.  The Company’s European markets can be subdivided into three areas:  Germany and the non-wine-producing Western Europe, wine-producing Western Europe (except Germany) and Eastern Europe.

27


          The Company believes that greater market opportunities exist in Germany and the non-wine-producing countries of Western Europe.  For these countries, in 2004, the order of importance by sales for the Company was as follows:  the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Finland and Norway.  Among these countries, the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden and Norway) operate under a state controlled system where each state purchases the wine and sells it in its own stores at the retail level.  The Company anticipates that in the future, the monopoly system in these countries will be replaced by a private or semi-private sales structure, but believes that because its brands are well known in these areas, its sales will not be adversely affected as a result.  There can be no assurance, however, that such a regulatory change would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s sales to such markets.

          In the United Kingdom, the Company continues to broaden direct distribution to large supermarket chains, expand sales to retail stores, liquor outlets and independent vendors, and promote on-premise consumption (e.g., sales to restaurants), through its Concha y Toro and Cono Sur brands.  Excluding bulk sales, sales in the United Kingdom increased 46.7% from 2003 to 2004, reaching US$43 million in 2004.  This increase is explained by higher sales of the subsidiary Viña Cono Sur and a strong performance of the Concha y Toro UK subsidiary, which started its operations in March 2001.

          The Company’s marketing strategy in Germany and the non-wine-producing countries of Western Europe focuses on expanding the premium wine segment, particularly with the Casillero del Diablo brands, and building brand recognition.  Compared to other areas of the world, the Company’s involvement in this market is fairly recent, having begun in 1989.

          In the major wine-producing countries of Western Europe (e.g., Italy, France, Spain and Portugal), where the Company faces greater competition, the Company’s marketing strategy is to shift from sales of small quantities of premium wines to higher volume sales of varietal wines in the off trade.

          In Central and Eastern Europe, where there are several wine-producing countries, the market for the Company’s wine is minimal, and the Company’s marketing efforts are in a preliminary stage.

          United States.  The U.S. market accounted for approximately US$40.4 million in 2004 sales, equal to 20.9% by US$ value of the Company’s exports.  According to the Exporters’ Association, the Company was the leading Chilean exporter to the United States in 2004 and the Company increased its market share in volume from 38.2% in 2003 to 39.1% in 2004, of total Chilean wine exported to the US.  Wine markets worldwide are divided into segments according to the price range of the wines, and competitors differ from one segment to another.  According to the wine classification method generally used in the U.S. market, the Company believes that the following wine categories are a representation of the wines sold by the Company in the United States: ultra premium, super premium and premium.  The Company believes that the Company’s wines would be classified within such categories as follows:  Ultra premium (Don Melchor, Amelia and Terrunyo); super premium (Marques de Casa Concha, Trio, Casillero del Diablo and Xplorador); and premium (for the Company’s varietal wines and varietal blends, including Sunrise, Frontera and Concha y Toro, among others).

          In general, neither the Company nor any other Chilean winery currently participates in the “Primer Orden” wine segment in the United States.

          The Company and its Chilean competitors are increasing their participation in the premium segment and establishing a strong presence in the varietal and varietal blend segments.  The Company’s strategy is to focus on sales within the premium and varietal categories.  In the United States, the Company’s greatest market strength is in the varietal and varietal blend segments due to the Company’s competitive price/value relationship.  See “Business Overview — Export Marketing Strategy.”

28


          During 2004, varietal blends in the United States accounted for approximately 75.6% and 89% of the Company’s sales by US$ value and volume, respectively; varietals, 4.6% and 3.7%, respectively; and premium wines, 19.8% and 7.3%, respectively.  During 2004, sales in the U.S. market increased 12.7% and 10.2% by US$ value and volume, respectively.  Growth was led by higher sales of the Frontera range.  The Company believes that the premium and varietal segments will continue to offer opportunities for increased sales.  See “Business Overview — Export Marketing Strategy.”

          In the United States, the Company’s products principally compete with other Chilean wines, as well as Californian wines and wines imported from Italy, France, Australia, Spain, Germany, Portugal and other wine-producing countries.

          Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean.  In US$ value terms, the Company’s 2004 sales to Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean totaled US$17.9 million or 9.3% of the Company’s exports.  The primary markets for the Company’s products in this region are Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic.  The Company has marketed its wines for more than twenty years in most of the countries in this region, and the Company believes it is the largest Chilean exporter of bottled wines in all of these countries.  Sales in US$ value terms increased by 31.1% mainly as a result of stronger sales in Mexico.

          South America.  In 2004 sales to South America increased by 71.1% in US$ value terms to approximately US$16.1 million or 8.3% of the Company’s total exports by US$ value.  This increase is explained mainly by the economic recovery of Brazil and Venezuela.  The Company’s primary markets by sales revenue were Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru.  Concha y Toro was the first Chilean wine sold in these countries, and the Company believes it is currently the leading Chilean exporter to these countries.  In each of these countries, the Company’s products are sold through exclusive local distributors, and in some countries, the Company’s secondary brands are sold by different distributors.

          Historically, export sales to South America have been limited by economic conditions.  Chilean wines have traditionally enjoyed favorable customs treatment in South American countries compared with wine produced by nations outside of the region.  This advantage may end as these countries lower their tariffs or follow the global trend toward open market economies.

          On June 25, 1996, Chile became a partner of MERCOSUR, the South American Common Market, which members and founders are Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.  Through this association, the Company has benefited from lower tariffs for entry of wine products into Argentina and Paraguay.  The Company has also gained, through MERCOSUR, the ability to purchase finished Argentine wine products which can be sold under Concha y Toro’s popular wine labels in Chile or through the Viña Trivento label in Brazil.

          In 2004, premium wine sales represented 41.5% by US$ value of exports to South America.  The Company believes this is partly because the Company’s wines have traditionally been considered prestigious and have been included on a large number of restaurant wine lists in South America.

          Canada.  In 2004, the Company’s sales to Canada increased 33.7% to approximately US$9.9 million or 5.2% by US$ value of the Company’s exports.  Canada is the fourth largest national export market and the fifth largest regional export market for the Company in US$ value terms.

          The Canadian market consumes approximately 30 million cases of wine per year.  Local wineries and bottlers have approximately 35% of the Canadian market because of preferential tax allowances and commercial regulations which favor local wineries and bottlers of imported bulk wines and limit the penetration of imported wine.  The Canadian market is governed by provincial monopolies in nine of the ten provinces and the three territories.  The monopolies (or liquor boards) buy and sell all imported (bottled) and locally produced liquors and wines.  Each province is autonomous, and each provincial liquor board has its own regulations and policies.  Each liquor board is also responsible as guarantor of payments to its suppliers.  Because the Canadian market is a controlled market, the buying system is highly concentrated, and the marketing policies are strictly regulated.  The Company believes that even if privatization of the provincial monopolies takes place, its sales will not be adversely affected because its brands are well known in Canada.  However, there can be no assurance that privatization would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s sales to the Canadian market.

29


          Asia.  The Asian market accounted for approximately US$9.7 million in 2004, equal to 5.0% by US$ value of the Company’s exports.  In value and volume terms, in 2004 bottled sales to Asia increased 25.3% and 24.4%, respectively, from 2003, explained by an increase in sales to Japan and to the rest of Asia.  Japan is the most important market in the region for the Company, representing 73% of total volume to the region.  Sales to Japan during 2004 totaled US$7.1 million representing a 12% increase over the 2003 sales.

          Sales to the Asian countries (excluding Japan) totaled US$ 2.6 million, representing a 78.3% increase over 2003 sales. Despite the small size of the sales to these markets, the Company believes in the long term expansion of sales to Asian countries (besides Japan), where good performance on premium wines has been the result of having a manager based in the region.

          Other.  The Company’s 2004 sales to other countries totaled US$1.5 million or 0.8% by US$ value of the Company’s exports. Within “other” sales, the Company aggregates mainly countries in Africa.

          Bulk Wine Exports.  In 2004, the Company sold US$1.1 million of bulk wine overseas, primarily to the United Kingdom and Denmark, representing 0.6% of its exports by US$ value.  Bulk wine sales is a spot business with no long-term commitments.  Sales depend on price and availability of wine in Chile and other wine growing countries.  The Company purchases almost all of the bulk wine it exports from outside suppliers.  The Company expects bulk wine sales to diminish in significance as it continues to promote bottled wine sales.  However, bulk wine sales may continue in countries depending on price, demand and availability for such wines.

          Distribution in Export Markets.  The Company’s products are distributed in approximately 110 countries by independent distributors, including four government liquor authorities. In most countries, the Company sells wine through a second distributor under the brand names of its subsidiaries Cono Sur and Maipo.  The Company sells “F.O.B. Chilean port” to its distributors in export markets.

          In 2001, the Company established a fully owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom for the distribution of its own products in the region.  In 2004, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark and Canada, the Company’s five largest national export markets, accounted for 58.6% of the Company’s exports by US$ value.  The Company believes that its success in export markets is based on developing good relationships with established distributors and the good price/quality relationship of its products.  While the Company has long-term written agreements with most of its largest distributors, namely those in the United States, Canada, Japan, Venezuela and Brazil, there are currently no written agreements with a majority of the Company’s distributors.

          Independent Distributors.  The Company’s exclusive agent and importer in the United States is Banfi, which imports and re-sells the Company’s products to distributors who service all 50 states.  Banfi was the Company’s largest single customer in 2004, purchasing approximately 2.5 million cases of wine which represented 26.4% and 21.0% of the Company’s export sales by volume and US$ value, respectively.  The Company has a renewable 20-year contract with Banfi which expires in 2013.  The contract prohibits the Company from selling to any other U.S. importer and prohibits Banfi from carrying other Chilean wines without the Company’s approval.  Banfi carries a number of competitors’ products, including Riunite, one of the best-selling imported wines in the United States, and Viñedos Emiliana.  Banfi also imports wines produced by its own wineries in Italy.  The Company and Banfi share the U.S. marketing costs for the Company’s wines.

          In Japan, the Company has a distribution agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation as the exclusive importer of the Company’s products in Japan and Mercian Corporation as its exclusive distributor.  The written agreement commenced in January 1997 and is automatically renewable for successive one-year terms.

          Since 1994, the Company has a contract with Western Wines Agency to distribute Viña Cono Sur wines in supermarkets and chain stores in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

          In December 2000, the Company formed the company Concha y Toro UK Limited for the distribution of its Concha y Toro portfolio of wines in the United Kingdom.  Concha y Toro UK Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and started its operations in March 2001.

30


          The Company has two distributors in Brazil: Expand Group and United Distillers and Vintners Brazil Ltda.  Expand Group distributes all of the Company’s wines, except Casillero del Diablo, which is distributed by United Distillers and Vintners Brazil Ltda.

          Government Liquor Authorities.  In Canada and the Nordic countries, the Company’s wine is sold through government liquor authorities.  In such countries, products may be offered as a general listing or a special listing.  General listings are those that are purchased by liquor boards on a regular basis and require a minimum sales level per period (which varies depending on the Canadian province and from country to country in Scandinavia).  Sales to government liquor authorities represented 13.8% and 15.2% of the Company’s export sales by volume and US$ value, respectively, in 2004.  In these countries, the Company operates with agents that work on a commission basis and are responsible for promotion and public relations.

          The Company’s 2004 sales, excluding bulk sales, to these countries are shown below:

          Export Marketing Strategy

          The Company strategy is to continue developing and strengthening the Concha y Toro brand and is seeking to focus future growth in export markets on the sale of premium and varietal wines.  The Company believes future growth is possible if the company is successful in the following efforts:

 

improving the quality of its wines as a result of state-of-the-art technology used by the Company in the vinification process and vineyard management;

 

 

 

 

increasing production from current and new vineyards;

 

 

 

 

changing attitudes of consumers, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States, with respect to the quality of Chilean wines, creating a growth opportunity for the Company for its premium and higher-priced wines;

 

 

 

 

launching new products;

 

 

 

 

marketing efforts and upgrading packaging for all product lines with a special focus on its global brand Casillero del Diablo; and

 

 

 

 

promotional and advertisement campaigns, including on-premise sales (e.g., sales to restaurants).

          Another key part in the Company’s export marketing strategy has been to diversify its export markets on a regional basis.  Diversification helps protect against economic, and in some cases political, changes which may affect the market for the Company’s products.  In particular, the Company has expanded its sales to Asian countries, where the consumption of wine is increasing.

          The Company believes that there is a trend towards the consumption of varietal wines in general, and certain varietal wines in particular, in its major export markets, principally the United States, Europe, Asia and Canada.  The Company has tailored its new grape plantings to respond to this trend.  See “Business Overview — Vineyards.”

          Seasonality

          The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in its revenues and net income. Both domestic and export wine sales tend to be lower during the first quarter of the year and higher during the third quarter in anticipation of the year-end holiday period. Sales volumes also typically decrease if distributors begin a quarter with larger-than-normal inventory levels, which is usually the case in the first quarter of the year. For these reasons, the operating results of the Company in any one quarter of the year may not be indicative of the year-end results.

          The following table sets forth the average quarterly percentage of the Company’s sales in the domestic and export segments for the 2002-2004 periods, as a percentage of sales by volume.

Seasonal fluctuations in bulk wine sales follow a different pattern in part because bulk wine sales are made on a spot basis.  In order not to distort the data for domestic and export wine sales, seasonal fluctuations in bulk wine sales are presented separately.

          Other Businesses

          Argentine Business.  The Argentine business comprises exports from Viña Trivento, while domestic sales are handled by Distribuidora Peumo. Both areas of the business presented positive results in 2004 with expansion in both its export and domestic businesses.

          In 2004 Trivento export volume totaled 777,484 cases with returns of US$12 million representing an 80% and 81% increase in volume and value, respectively.  The largest volume growth was achieved in Canada, Sweden, the United States, Denmark and the UK. Trivento’s exports benefited from a favorable price to quality ratio and a more consolidated export and distribution network. In 2004, Trivento has consolidated its position as the second largest exporter of Argentine wine by volume.

          Domestic market sales grew 17% to 747,206 cases with total revenue of US$11 million representing a 33% growth from 2003.

          Other Products.  In relation to the subsidiary Villa Alegre – a company that produced and marketed mineral water – this operation was closed and finished its activities in October 2004.  In 2003 and 2004, sales of Villa Alegre totaled Ch$307 million and Ch$166 million, respectively.  Net income in 2003 was Ch$2 million and in 2004 Villa Alegre presented a loss of Ch$58 million.

          Affiliated Companies

          Viña Almaviva.  In 1997, the Company and Rothschild S.A. formed a joint venture company, Viña Almaviva, to produce a “Primer Orden” or first-growth wine in Chile.  The Company contributed approximately 40 hectares of producing vineyards located at Puente Alto, Maipo Valley in exchange for 50% of the capital stock of Viña Almaviva.

          In 2004, Viña Almaviva had revenues of Ch$2,233 million, 28.7% lower as compared to Ch$3,130 million in 2003.  Lower sales is explained by lower sales volume and the weakness of the US dollar, as the relevant exchange rate for 2004 sales was 18% lower as compared to 2003. Almaviva’s main markets are France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland and the United States.  In 2004, the Company recognized income from Viña Almaviva of Ch$9.6 million from its equity investment.

32


          Industria Corchera.  In November 2000, the Company acquired 49.6% of Industria Corchera.  In 2002 its share increased to 49.84%.  In 2004, Industria Corchera’s total sales amounted to Ch$12,016 million, representing a 9% increase compared to 2003. The Company in 2004 recognized income from Industria for Ch$375 million from its equity investment.

Government Regulation

          Chilean Regulation.  The Company is subject to the full range of governmental regulations generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile, such as labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection, environmental laws, securities laws and anti-trust laws, as well as regulations to ensure sanitary and safe conditions in the production, bottling and distribution of beverages.  The main regulatory entity for Chilean sociedades anónimas is the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros de Chile (“Superintendency of Securities” or “S.V.S.”).

          Alcoholic Beverages Regulations.  The Company is subject to regulation in the production and distribution of alcoholic beverages.   Chilean law regulates what beverages come within the scope of regulation as “alcoholic beverages,” the type of alcohol which can be used in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, the additional products that can be used in the production of certain alcoholic beverages, and the packaging and labeling and procedures that must be followed to import alcoholic beverages.  The manufacturing and bottling of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages is also subject to supervision by the National Health Service, which inspects plants on a regular basis.

          Chilean law requires a license for the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, and the Company believes it has all the licenses necessary for its business.

          There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against the Company pertaining to any Chilean regulatory matter, and the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations relating to its business.

          Environmental Regulation. The Chilean Constitution of 1980 grants all citizens the right to live in an environment free of pollution.  It further provides that it is a State’s duty to enforce this right and to protect the environment.  The Chilean Constitution also provides that citizens can file a complaint with the corresponding Court of Appeals seeking review of government and private party actions on the grounds that such actions infringe the citizens’ rights to a clean environment.

          In 1994, the Chilean Congress enacted the Chilean framework environmental law, Law No. 19.300, which sets forth that any new project or activity or modification to an existing  project or activity that may have an impact on the environment requires a favorable environmental impact assessment.  Law No. 19.300 also created a new environmental institution, composed of the National and the Regional Environmental Commissions, which are entities that coordinate the environmental activities performed by governmental agencies and that, among other duties, approve or reject environmental impact assessments, and set environmental emission and air quality standards. 

          Law No. 19.300 also established environmental liability standards, according to which perpetrators of environmental damage are liable to compensate the victims and restore the environment.

          U.S. Regulation.  The sale of wine in the United States is subject to extensive regulation covering virtually every aspect of the Company’s operations, including marketing, pricing, labeling, packaging and advertising.  State agencies regulate the delivery and use of all alcoholic beverages within their jurisdictions, while the federal government, through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, is responsible for the regulation of imports through permit requirements and label approval processes.  Importers of wine to the United States are required to obtain various licenses, bonds and permits, including a federal Importer’s Permit, to comply with the regulations of all such agencies.

33


          In 1997, U.S. and Chilean news organizations announced that members of the California wine industry had petitioned the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose trade sanctions against Chilean wine producers.  These rumors have been denied by the California Association of Wine Grape Growers and other industry officials and, to date, no allegations of violations of U.S. antitrust laws have been announced by any U.S. federal or state agency.  There can be no assurance, however, that no U.S. federal or state agency will commence any action and/or impose any trade sanctions relating to alleged violations of U.S. antitrust laws.

          The Company believes it is in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable U.S. federal and state regulations.

          Trademarks.  The Company has Chilean registrations for the principal trademarks used in its business, including Concha y Toro Don Melchor, Amelia, Terrunyo, Marqués de Casa Concha, Trio, Casillero del Diablo, Sunrise, Frontera, Tocornal, Subercaseaux, Maipo, Clos de Pirque,  Fressco, San José., Trademarks registered by subsidiaries include Cono Sur, Isla Negra and Trivento. While the Company also has foreign registrations for many of these trademarks in most of its principal export markets, it does not have registrations for all of its trademarks in all of its export markets.  The Company believes that its brands and trademarks are important to its business and is seeking to protect them through registration in many countries where they are not currently recorded.

Organizational Structure

          In order to improve the efficiency of intercompany operations and improve the ease of preparation and consolidation of the financial statements, the Company opted to modify in 2002 the ownership structure of the group companies.  Generally, these modifications contemplate that a holding company will own the foreign subsidiaries, whereas another holding company will own the domestic group companies, with Viña Concha y Toro S.A. as the group’s parent company.

Property, Plants, Equipment

          The Company’s headquarters are located at the World Trade Center, Las Condes, Santiago.  To finance these new offices, the Company entered into a twelve-year lease agreement in January 1998.

          In addition, the Company owns 10,947 hectares and leases 605 hectares of land throughout Chile, and owns 764 hectares of land in Argentina.  Of these, approximately 7,219 hectares are suitable for planting vineyards.  A majority of the remaining 5,096 hectares are comprised of roads, hills, fruit orchards and riverbanks.  The remainder is used for vinification and bottling plants, cellars and other buildings.  None of the Company’s properties that are material to its business are mortgaged or otherwise encumbered.

34


          As mentioned above, the Company leases 605 hectares, comprising two leases in the Maipo Valley and three leases in the Casablanca Valley. In the Maipo Valley, the Company leases 105 hectares from an unaffiliated non-profit Chilean institution, approximately 95 of which are suitable for vineyards or agricultural purposes.  The lease expires in 2013.  The lease may be terminated by the lessor beginning in 2004, with one year’s notice and payment of a penalty. In 2004, the Company entered in a lease of 80.6 hectares in production from Viñedos Emiliana, this is a 9-year lease expiring in May 2013. In the Casablanca Valley, the Company leases three properties of 282, 110 and 27 hectares with leases expiring in 2028, 2023 and 2036, respectively.

          Comercial Peumo leases warehouses in Arica, Iquique, Antofagasta and Los Angeles for distribution.  The Company leases four plants for vinification of popular wine from purchased grapes.  The Company believes it would be able to obtain replacement properties at acceptable costs for its leased vineyards, warehouses and vinification plants should its leases not be renewed.  See “Business Overview — Vineyards.”

          Although the Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, it is still in the process of improving the water treatment systems in all of its manufacturing plants.  The Company has water treatment systems, owned or contracted to third parties, in five of its plants: Lontué, Chimbarongo, Santa Elisa, Lourdes and Puente Alto.

ITEM 5:

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

          This section provides an assessment by management of the most significant trends and changes in our financial condition and results of operations.  Historical results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. Forward-looking statements presented in this section are subject to a number of factors that may cause future results to differ materially from those foreseen.

Overview

          Concha y Toro is principally a vertically integrated wine producer.  The Company is the largest producer of wine in Chile and also owns a winery in Argentina, Viña Trivento.  The Company is Chile’s leading bottled wine exporter, top-selling winery in the domestic market and the number two wine exporter from Argentina.

          The Company faces certain key challenges, which involve an element of associated risk.  Competition in strategically important markets is increasing in tandem with higher supplies of wine from producer countries.  In an effort to sustain a sales growth under such conditions, the Company has a product portfolio offering a highly attractive price to quality ratio.  In addition, Concha y Toro has allocated further funds to the strengthening of its brand name and for the advertisement and marketing of its products in its main markets as well as expanding and fortifying its distribution channels.

          Determining factors in the results of the Company include the price of its principal raw material, the cost of grapes, and exchange rates, as in 2004, 75.7% of the sales revenues were denominated in foreign currency.

          In 2004, Concha y Toro had a net income of Ch$22,689 million as a result of record sales, both in terms of revenues and volume. Consolidated sales for the year increased 19.5%.  Sales revenues totaled Ch$188,207 million, 24.3% of which were generated in Chile, 68.1% from exports and 7.6% from Argentine operations.

          We believe the Company to be highly competitive in its major markets.  Concha y Toro has a high profile brand name and competitive economies of scale.  The principal measure for sustaining future growth involves ongoing investment in vineyard development and cellar capacity to raise overall production capacity.

          Revenues. Total revenues increased to Ch$188,207 million in 2004 from Ch$157,447 million in 2003 representing a 19.5% increase.  Revenue growth reflects a positive performance in all the Company’s areas: Exports from Chile, the domestic market and higher sales of the two Argentine subsidiaries.

36


          Domestic Revenues.  Sales in Chile increased 13.8% in 2004 to Ch$45,696 million from Ch$40,142 million in 2003.  Domestic revenues comprise local wine sales, which accounted for 84.6% of the revenues, and other revenues - principally fees for bottling services and the sale of fruit and liquors.  Wine sales increased by 17.2% and other income decreased 1.6% mainly due to lower fees from bottling services to third parties.

          Domestic wine sales increased 17.2% to Ch$38,672 million in 2004 from Ch$33,007 million in 2003.  Stronger sales were the result of a 2.8% improvement in volume and a 13.9% increase in the average price.  Higher volume was driven by larger sales of premium wines, which grew 16.9%.  This is largely the fruit of a policy focused on moving high margin labels such as Don Melchor, Casillero del Diablo and Trio.  At the same time, popular wine volume rose 4.3%.  The higher average price reflects mainly the price increases for popular wines following a strategy (starting in mid-2003) that has sought to increase the profitability of this business.

          Export Revenues:  Sales abroad increased by 19.8% to Ch$128,249 million in 2004 from Ch$107,059 million in 2003. The growth in sales overseas resulted from a 27.7% increase in volume and a 6.2% decrease in the average price stated in Chilean pesos, this as a result of the 11.6%  appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in 2004 (average relevant exchange rate for the Company). The average price in U.S. dollars increased 6.0%.

          A sales and marketing policy oriented to strengthening the distribution network, developing new markets and investing in brand building resulted in higher shipments to all regional markets.  Volume sales to Europe, the largest regional market, presented a solid 36% growth, which reflects the strength of our brand in that continent.  This growth also includes the significant sales effort from Concha y Toro UK, the subsidiary that began business in 2001 and that has attained substantial sales growth over the past three years. Strong volume growth was also achieved in Central America /Caribbean (+27%) and South America (+69%) as a result of a positive performance of Mexico and a recovery in markets like Brazil, Peru and Venezuela.  Sales volume to the U.S., Canada and Asian market grew 10.2%, 20.2% and 25.3%, respectively.

          An improved mix of products is responsible for the higher average price in U.S. dollars.  The volume of premium wine sales increased by 39% mainly as a result of the commercial success of the Casillero del Diablo brand, with a 48% increase in export volume in 2004.  Appreciation of the euro against the dollar also contributed to the higher average price.  For further information regarding the total amount of export sales, export sales and competition and principal export markets, See Item 4 –”Information of the Company -Company sales –Export markets and note 37 l) to the financial statements.”

          Argentine Operations:  Sales within Argentina are handled by Distribuidora Peumo, while Viña Trivento exports its own wines.

          Total revenue from the two Argentine operations increased 39.2% to Ch$14,261 million as a result of a 53.1% increase in exports and a 28.2% increase in domestic sales.  The export performance included an 80% increase in shipments, totaling 777,484 cases. Trivento grew across all regional markets, with strong growth in Canada, Sweden, the US, UK and Brazil. Trivento finished year 2004 as the second exporter of Argentine wines by volume.

          Sales increase in the domestic Argentine market can be attributed to a combination of price increases with higher profitability in mind, and higher volumes.  Domestic volumes increased 17% totaling 747,206 cases.

          Cost of Sales.  Total cost of sales increased by 20.1% to Ch$ 116,091 million in 2004 from Ch$96,692 million for fiscal 2003.  The cost of sales of Chile-sourced business increased by Ch$16,856 million, and accounts for most of the Ch$19,400 million increase in the total cost of sales.  In comparison to 2003, the total cost of sales for Chile increased 18.6%, and is mainly explained by the increase in sales volume.  Average wine cost for the export market maintained the 2003 level, whereas for the domestic market, there was a 15.5% wine cost increase. 

          The cost of sales of Argentine-sourced business increased by Ch$2,544 representing a 42.8% increase mainly explained by higher sales volume.  Cost of sales as a percentage of total sales increased to 61.7% from 61.4%.

37


          Gross Margin. Gross margin increased to Ch$72,116 million in 2004 from Ch$ 60,755 million in 2003, an increase of 18.7%.  As a percentage of sales, the gross margin decreased to 38.3% from 38.6%, mainly reflecting the impact of the exchange rate appreciation on dollar denominated revenues.

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).  SG&A at Concha y Toro mainly includes advertising and promotional expenses, salaries of administrative and sales personnel, general expenses, export commissions, insurance and maintenance. SG&A increased by Ch$3,554 million, or 9.3% year over year, to Ch$41,695 million in 2004 from Ch$38,141 million in 2003.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to 22.2% from 24.2% recorded in 2003.

          Chilean business derived SG&A increased by Ch$2,765 million.  Higher marketing expenses explains 60% of the increase as the Company is incurring further marketing and selling expenses to promote and support growth across its business including stronger marketing expenses at Concha y Toro UK to develop sales in its highly competitive market. Higher remuneration accounts for 12% of the increase in SG&A, while other expenses, including export commissions, insurance and the like, relating to increased business make up the remaining 28%.

          SG&A for the Argentine business increased by Ch$789 million.  Marketing expenses linked to larger exports and domestic sales volumes comprise 11% of the rise in  SG&A, higher remuneration related to the business growth explains 10% and 79% of the increase is related to selling and administrative expenses involving distribution and general expenses related to the growth of the Argentine operation.

          Operating Income.  Operating income increased by 34.5% to Ch$30,421 million in 2004 from Ch$22,614 million in 2003.  The operating margin increased from 14.4% to 16.2% following stronger sales growth and the spread of SG&A costs over that higher level of sales.

          Non-Operating Income.  Non-operating income decreased 46.4% to Ch$741 million from Ch$1,383 million in 2003.  This result is mainly explained by the 59.2% decrease in equity participation in net income from related companies.  Equity participation decreased from Ch$942 million in 2003 to Ch$384 million in 2004 mainly due to decrease in equity participation from Viña Almaviva from Ch$665 million in 2003 to Ch$10 million in 2004 following lower result from Almaviva explained by a drop in sales volume and the weakness of the U.S. dollar that impacted sales returns.

          Non-operating Expenses (Excluding Price Level Restatement and Foreign Exchange Differences).  Non-operating expenses increased 9.3% to Ch$2,215 million from Ch$2,027 million. This results from higher interest expenses partly offset by lower other non-operating expenses. Interest expenses increased from Ch$906 million in 2003 to Ch$1,738 million in 2004 mainly due to an increase in financial debt of Ch$15,172 million to finance the investment program and working capital. Other non-operating expenses decreased by Ch$643 million mainly as a result of lower provisions.

          Price level restatement and Foreign Exchange Differences.  Price level restatement and foreign exchange differences produced a loss of Ch$1,427 million in 2004 compared to a gain of Ch$535 million in 2003. This is mainly due to a loss on foreign exchange differences of Ch$1,458 million in 2004 compared to a gain of Ch$766 million in 2003. For detail on Foreign Exchange Differences see note 26 of Consolidated Financial Statements.

          Net Income.  Net income in 2004 of Ch$ 22,689 million was Ch$3,641 million, 19.1%, more than the Ch$ 19,048 million in 2003.

Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to year ended December 31, 2002
Figures expressed in Chilean pesos (Ch$) as of December 31, 2004

          Revenues. Total revenues increased to Ch$157,447 million in 2003 from Ch$132,844 million in 2002 representing an 18.5% increase.  Most of the increase in revenues derived from stronger export revenues and a better performance of the two Argentine subsidiaries.

38


          Domestic Revenues.  Sales in Chile increased 3.4% in 2003 to Ch$40,142 million from Ch$38,814 million in 2002.  Domestic revenues comprise local wine sales, which accounted for 82.2% of the revenues, and other income - principally fees for bottling services and the sale of fruit and mineral water.  Wine sales increased by 5.6%, although this was offset by a 5.6% decline in fees from bottling services for third parties.

          The 5.6% increase in domestic wine revenues raised local sales revenues to Ch$33,007 million in 2003 from Ch$31,253 million in 2002.  The stronger revenue from wine sales was a result of a 6.4% higher volume on sales that was partially offset by a 0.7% decrease in average price.  The higher sales volume is attributable to a number of steps that the Company took during the course of the year including the improvement of brand differentiation, the launching of innovative products and expanding product ranges.  Sales volume of premium and popular category wines increased by 5.9% and 6.3%, respectively.  The decline in the average price reflects the state of competition that the Company faces in Chile.

          A stronger competition from domestic wine producers has had a negative impact on the Company’s profits in recent years and the Company is currently addressing this issue.  Seeking a turnaround, from the second half of 2003, the Company adopted a new pricing policy focusing on brands with better margins and higher average prices.

          Export Revenues:  Sales abroad increased by 20.3% to Ch$107,059 million in 2003 from Ch$88,975 million in 2002. The growth in sales overseas resulted from a 16.6% increase in volume and a 3.2% rise in the average price.

          Sales and marketing geared at brand building, developing new markets and strengthening of the distribution network boosted shipments to all regional markets accounting for the higher export volume.  Sales to Europe represented the strongest growth in 2003 at 26%, which reflects the strength of our brand in such continent.  This growth also includes the significant sales effort from Concha y Toro UK, the subsidiary that began business in 2001 and that has attained substantial sales growth over the past two years.

          An improved mix of products is responsible for the higher average price.  The volume of premium wine sales increased by 45% mainly as a result of the commercial success of the Casillero del Diablo brand, in which the Company has invested heavily since 2001.  Appreciation of the euro against the dollar also contributed to the higher average price, although such increase was offset by the 4% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar.  For further information regarding the total amount of export sales, export sales and competition and principal export markets, See Item 4 –”Information of the Company – Company sales – Export markets.”

          Argentine Operations:  Sales within Argentina are handled by Distribuidora Peumo, while Viña Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos exports its own wines.

          Total revenue from the two Argentine operations increased 102.7% to Ch$10,245 million as a result of an 80.3% increase in exports and a 124.7% increase in domestic sales.  The export performance included a 90.9% increase in shipments with Trivento benefiting from a favorable price/quality ratio, a more consolidated export and distribution network and from the current surge in Argentine exports in general.  This increase in sales was slightly offset by the 5.6% decrease in the average price due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso.

          Domestic performance, within Argentina, included a 112% increase in volumes that owed much to a better distribution and the launch of new products.  In addition, an improved blend of products resulted in a 5.9% increase to the average price.

          Cost of Sales.  Total cost of sales increased by 19.4% to Ch$ 96,692 million in 2003 from Ch$81,007 million for fiscal 2002.  The cost of sales of Chile-sourced business increased by Ch$12,778 million, and accounts for most of the Ch$15,685 million increase in the total cost of sales.  For Chile, in comparison to 2002, the total cost of sales increased 18.6% and included an 11.5% increase in the volume of sales and a 7.1% rise in per unit costs mainly due to the higher price of grapes.  Cost of sales as a percentage of total sales increased to 61.4% from 61.0%.

39


          Gross Margin. Gross margin increased to Ch$60,755 million in 2003 from Ch$51,837 million in 2002, an increase of 17.2%.  As a percentage of sales, the gross margin decreased to 38.6% from 39.0% with an exchange rate appreciation on dollar denominated revenues having a greater impact than costs.

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).  SG&A at Concha y Toro mainly includes advertising and promotional expenses, salaries of administrative and sales personnel, general expenses, export commissions, insurance and maintenance. SG&A increased Ch$7,537 million, or 24.6%, to Ch$38,141 million in 2003 from Ch$30,604 million in 2002.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased to 24.2% from 23.0% recorded in 2002.

          Chilean business derived SG&A increased by Ch$5,996 million.  Most of the higher SG&A (71.6%) is due to the Company incurring further marketing and selling expenses to promote and support growth across its business and high early marketing expenses at Concha y Toro UK to develop sales in its highly competitive market. Higher remuneration accounts for 14.6% of the rise in SG&A while other expenses, including export commissions, insurance and the like, relating to stronger business make up the remaining 13.8%.

          SG&A for the Argentine business increased by Ch$1,541 million.  Marketing expenses linked to larger exports and domestic sales volumes comprise 51.1% of the rise in local SG&A with 23.9% owing to higher business growth related remuneration and 25% to selling and administrative expenses involving distribution.

          Operating Income.  Operating income increased by 6.5% to Ch$22,614 million in 2003 from Ch$21,233 million in 2002. The operating margin decreased from 16.0% to 14.4% over the period, however, as the gross margin contracted following the impact the exchange rate had on dollar denominated revenues and the increase in selling and administrative expenses.

          Non-Operating Income.  Non-operating income decreased 49.1% to Ch$1,383 million from Ch$2,717 million.  While equity income increased by 19.5%, other non-operating income decreased by 77.1%.

          Other non-operating income benefited from a gain of Ch$1,483 million the Company recorded in 2002 from the sale of fixed assets.  The higher income from related companies includes higher earnings from Viña Almaviva and Industria Corchera of 20.2% and 17.9%, respectively.

          Non-operating Expenses (Excluding Price Level Restatement and Foreign Exchange Differences).  Non-operating expenses increased 44.6% to Ch$2,027 million from Ch$1,402 million.  Interest expenses decreased 19.5% to Ch$906 million as a result of lower interest rates.  Other non-operating expenses increased by Ch$848 million mainly as a result of higher provisions for exchange rate differences and accounts receivable.

          Price level restatement and Foreign Exchange Differences.  Price level restatement and foreign exchange differences produced a gain of Ch$535 million in 2003 compared to a loss of Ch$2,567 million in 2002. This is mainly due to a gain on foreign exchange differences.

          Foreign exchange differences produced a gain of Ch$766 million in 2003 compared to a loss of Ch$2,299 million in 2002. This is explained by a lower loss of conversion adjustments related to the devaluation in Argentina as compared to 2002 and due to a gain in exchange differences of forward contracts the Company holds in US dollars.

          Net Income.  Taking all of the above considerations into account, net income in 2003 of Ch$19,048 million was Ch$2,161 million, 12.8%, more than the Ch$ 16,887 million in 2002.

          U.S. GAAP Reconciliation.  Net income under U.S. GAAP for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was Ch$22,910 million, Ch$19,357 million and Ch$17,240 million, respectively, whereas the amounts reported under Chilean GAAP were Ch$22,689 million, Ch$19,048 million and Ch$16,887 million, respectively. Differences result mainly from the inclusion under U.S. GAAP of the reversal for amortization of goodwill, reversal of the depreciation generated by technical revaluation of fixed assets under Chilean GAAP and the recording of deferred income taxes.

40


          Total shareholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was Ch$150,428 million, Ch$136,234 million and Ch$126,745 million, respectively, and compared to Chilean reported amounts of Ch$156,035 million, Ch$141,617 million and Ch$132,088 million, respectively.  The main differences between shareholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP and Chilean GAAP are the reversal of revaluation of fixed assets, the recording of deferred income taxes and the accrual of a 30% minimum dividend.

          For further details regarding these and other differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, see Note 37 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Liquidity

          In 2004, the Company’s main source of liquidity has been cash generated by its operating activities and cash flow from financing activities, which amounted to Ch$13,729 million and Ch$10,107 million, respectively. In 2003 and 2002, the main source of liquidity was cash generated by operating activities of Ch$16,028 and Ch$19,782 million, respectively. In the Company’s opinion, its working capital of Ch$57,550 million as of December 31, 2004 is sufficient for the Company’s present requirements.

          On December 31, 2004, the Company had Ch$1,799 million of cash, time deposits and other cash equivalents and approximately Ch$56,554 million available under undrawn bank lines of credit.

          Net cash flows used in 2004 and 2003 prior to the effect of inflation in cash and cash equivalents was negative Ch$615 million and Ch$617 million, respectively, while in 2002 net cash flow generated was Ch$619 million.  The effect of inflation decreased cash and cash equivalents in Ch$81 million in 2004, in Ch$490 million in 2003 and increased Ch$127 million in 2002.

          Net cash flows from operating activities were Ch$13,729 million in 2004, Ch$16,028 million in 2003 and Ch$19,782 million in 2002.  Net cash flows originated from financing activities were Ch$10,107 million in 2004,  Ch$1,196 million in 2003, while in 2002 cash flow used in financing activities was Ch$13,543 million.  Net cash flows used in investing activities was Ch$24,452 million in 2004, Ch$17,840 million in 2003 and Ch$5,620 million in 2002.

          The Company’s total assets increased 15.3% from Ch$223,832 million at December 31, 2003 to Ch$258,139 million at December 31, 2004.  The increase in total assets is due to an increase in current assets (receivables and inventories) and fixed asset involving the acquisition of new vineyards, construction and infrastructure.

          Current liabilities increased to Ch$65,879 million at December 31, 2004 from Ch$56,420 million at December 31, 2003, in part explained by the increase of short term bank debt from Ch$23,268 million in 2003 to Ch$28,142 million in 2004 and accounts payable from Ch$12,189 million in 2003 to Ch$14,371 million in 2004.  Long-term liabilities increased to Ch$36,216 million at December 31, 2004 from Ch$25,719 million at December 31, 2003 due to an increase in long term debt to banks and financial institutions.  The increase in short term and long term financial debt results from financing the capital expenditure program and working capital in 2004.  For a detail of capital expenditures in 2004, see the following section, Capital Expenditures.

          On April 26, 2005, Concha y Toro placed a 21-year bond for Ch$34,544 million on the local market at a nominal interest rate of 3.9%.  The proceeds will be used 35% to repay financial debt, mainly at short term, and the remaining 65% to finance new investments for supporting future growth.

          For further detail on interest bearing debt as of December 31, 2004, see Item 11 — “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

          Total shareholders’ equity increased 10.2% from Ch$141,617 million at December 31, 2003 to Ch$156,035 million at December 31, 2004.

41


          Capital Expenditures

          Total capital expenditures which include additions to property, plant and equipment and other permanent investments were Ch$22,770 million (US$41 million) in 2004, Ch$16,334 million in 2003 and Ch$7,178 million in 2002.  The increase in capital expenditures in 2004 is due to larger investments in the agriculture area, including the acquisition of planted vineyards, new properties and the plantation of new land.  New investments also added vinification and cellar capacity in Chile and Argentina. For 2005, the Company established a capital expenditure budget of Ch$36,712 million (approximately US$61 million) to promote future growth in sales, and support the expected increases in demand for grapes and the need for production capacity.  The 2005 figures include the acquisition (March 2005) of the assets of Viña Francisco de Aguirre in the Limarí Valley, including 326 hectares of vineyards planted, a cellar and a bottling line.  In addition, investments will be focused on the acquisition of new vineyards (including planted vineyards), the construction of storage and fermentation facilities for the production and bottling of all wines with an emphasis on premium and varietal wines and the expansion of the bottling facilities.  Also, funds will be oriented at the expansion of the capacity of Viña Trivento in Argentina. The following table sets forth the Company’s capital expenditures for the different areas for the years ended 2002-2004 and planned capital investment for 2005.

(1) The investment figures in this table correspond to amounts net of V.A.T., while figures in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include V.A.T.

(2) Agriculture expenditures consist of investments in agricultural equipment and activities in order to develop new vineyards and bring them to commercial production, and to maintain or expand production at existing vineyards.

(3) Principally correspond to the investment in the affiliated Industria Corchera.

          The Company expects to continue planting wine vines and developing the corresponding infrastructure needed on certain properties owned by the Company in Chile and in Argentina.  Funds will also be used to increase the capacity of the Company’s vinification and storage facilities including the acquisition of French and American oak barrels.  The Company has a capital expenditure budget of approximately US$43 million as of 2006.

          Impact of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

          The Company is required under Chilean GAAP to restate non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity and income and expense accounts to reflect the effect of variations in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso.  During inflationary periods, monetary items generate a gain or loss in purchasing power which is influenced by the currency in which they are denominated.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are restated so as to correct the effect of inflation and remain constant in real terms from period to period.  See Note 2(d) and Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 18.

          The net monetary correction gain or loss each year is calculated as follows:

 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities, shareholders’ equity and income and expense accounts are restated using the CPI published by Chile’s National Institute of Statistics.

 

The CPI effect on inventories is calculated based on the turnover of inventory during the year.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and UF are restated at the applicable year-end exchange rates.

42


          In general, inflation has the adverse effect of diminishing the purchasing power of the Company’s peso-denominated monetary assets which are not price-level indexed and has the positive effect of reducing the real value of the Company’s peso-denominated monetary liabilities which are not price-level indexed.

          Company exports are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars, although they are also denominated in Euros, Sterling Pounds, Canadian dollars and Argentine pesos (sales of the Argentine subsidiaries).  Total revenues from exports including exports to third parties and sales of the foreign subsidiaries as a percentage of total revenues have increased from 74.5 % in 2003 to 75.7% in 2004.  To the extent that U.S. dollar-denominated revenues exceed U.S. dollar-denominated operating costs, the Company’s results of operations will be impacted by the difference between the changes in exchange rates and the Chilean rate of inflation.  The Company purchases bottles, corks and Tetra Brik containers in prices set in U.S. dollars.

          To the extent that the Chilean peso depreciates against the U.S. dollar at a lower rate than the rate of Chilean inflation, the Company’s export sales will increase less than inflation adjusted peso costs, and margins as reported in Chilean pesos will decrease.  The reverse situation would occur with respect to domestic sales denominated in Chilean pesos and related U.S. dollar denominated costs.  The rate- of nominal depreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar for 2002 was 9.7%, while in 2003 and 2004 the Chilean peso appreciated 17.4% and 6.1% against the US dollar (year-end exchange rates). The Chilean price-level restatement factors for the same periods were 3.0%, 1.0% and 2.5% respectively.

          While the Company denominates its export prices in U.S. dollars (other than to Canada, Argentina and some European countries as discussed above), retail prices in the importing countries are denominated in local currencies.  Changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the local currency can have an impact on the local currency price and thereby on the volume of the Company’s wine sold in such markets.  For details on Foreign Exchange Differences see Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 18.

          The Company enters into forward foreign exchange agreements to minimize its exposure to the risks of changes in foreign exchange rates.  Since 1993, the Company has attempted to balance U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities.  See Item 11 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Critical Accounting Policies

          A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions and exert judgment.  These actions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.  Included below are the accounting policies which we consider critical to our business.

a) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

          The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts.  Possible loss estimates are based on a case-by-case evaluation of past due amounts of more than 6 months.  In addition to the aging of the receivable, we consider historical loss experience.  Other factors are also considered, including the wine industry general economic environment.  Historically, bad debts write-offs have not been significant and are within the parameters for the wine industry.

          The Company has contracted insurance policies which reimburse the company for non-collection of practically all accounts receivable balances.  Insurance coverage is, in general, 90% of the balances in Accounts Receivable in all geographical areas with the exception of Argentina where coverage is 65%.

          The Company believes that this is a critical accounting policy because of the judgment involved in accruing for possible loss estimates.

b) Income and Deferred Taxes:

          Our Company and each of its subsidiaries compute and pay tax on an individual tax return basis.

43


          Effective January 1, 2000,  the effects of deferred income taxes arising from temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement  purposes are recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletin Nº 60 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants.  The effects of deferred income taxes at January 1, 2000, which were not previously recorded, were set up as a contra-asset or liability account which is charged or credited to income over the estimated reversal period of the temporary differences.  Under Technical Bulletin Nº 60, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In making this determination, we consider both positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions including projections of taxable income.

c) Inventories:

          Our inventories of finished products and inventories of in-process goods are stated at standard cost and include the cost of raw materials and labor and overhead costs added to the products.

          The resulting value of inventories does not exceed their estimated net realizable values.  Raw materials and supplier goods acquired from third parties are stated at average cost plus monetary correction.  We record obsolescence provisions for finished products, products in process, raw material and other materials based on reports detailing slow to no turnover, which take into consideration certain estimations and assumptions, including market conditions and consumer consumption estimates.  As we must exercise judgment in projecting market conditions and consumer consumption, we believe that our accounting policy for reserving inventory should be considered critical.

d) Goodwill:

          Prior to January 1, 2004, goodwill arose from the excess of the purchase price of companies acquired over their net book value.  Goodwill or negative goodwill arising out of the purchase was then amortized using the straight-line method over a period not to exceed 20 years.  This period was based on management’s assumption regarding the estimated period of recovery of this goodwill.  This assumption takes into consideration various factors, including but not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of the investment, significant changes in the legal or regulatory environment and how these may impact the value of an investment, and rates of returns used in calculating operating or cash flows associated with the use of our assets.  We annually, or when circumstances change, review the recorded value of our goodwill when there are indications that the book value may not be recoverable.

          For acquisitions entered into after January 1, 2004, goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price of the companies acquired over the fair value of the net assets acquired.  Goodwill arising out of such transactions is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis and when circumstances change which may indicate that the recorded amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.

          Potential impairment of the carrying value of the goodwill is determined by comparing net book value of the goodwill to its fair value based on the estimated future net cash flows associated with the goodwill on an undiscounted basis.  Should the book value exceed the undiscounted net cash flows, the impairment adjustment would be based on the difference between the carrying value and the discounted net cash flows.

e) Impairment of long-lived assets:

          In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company evaluates for impairment the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets upon changes in circumstances which could indicate that recoverability is not assured.  Recoverability is generally determined by the comparison of  carrying value with the future undiscounted cash flows of the group of assets or assets being evaluated.  Should the future undiscounted cash flows be less than the carrying value, a further analysis of the future discounted cash flows in comparison with the carrying values is performed and impairment is recorded based on the shortfall of the future discounted cash flows below the carrying value.

C. Research and Development

          The Company’s research and development efforts do not involve material expenditures, as the Company relies primarily on technical assistance and technology transfer agreements with domestic and foreign companies and institutes. Since 2001, the Company has an association with Financiere Mercier, a prestigious nursery in France. In addition, the Company’s agricultural engineers regularly attend training courses.  The Company also has the on-site expertise of American consultants at its disposal throughout the year.

          The Company has set up various research projects in Chile with local universities including Universidad de Chile, Universidad de Concepción and Universidad Católica del Maule. Since 2003, the Company is involved in Conicyt’s Fondef project “Water management technologies for sustainable intensive agriculture.” Led by Universidad de Concepción, the project aims to improve current irrigation practices by taking corrective actions to optimize water and energy usage and thus develop advanced, sustainable and efficient management of agriculture.

D. Trend Information

          The most significant trend affecting the wine industry and Company’s results currently and in the past three fiscal years has been an increase in competition in both the domestic and the export markets as a result of a global oversupply of wine.

          In the domestic market, a greater availability of grapes and wine between 2000 and 2003 has led to increasing competition among the leading wineries.  This resulted in a series of price cuts that affected the profitability throughout the business.  In mid 2003 and 2004 all major players in the Chilean wine industry sought a turnaround in domestic profitability focus on better margin products and higher average prices.

          In the export markets, the Company has faced increasing competition in some key markets resulting in falling prices or increasing marketing needs.  However, the Company has been able to compete successfully, with export sales increasing strongly in both volume and value. The most dynamic region for the Company in the past three years has been Europe.  The Company expects this trend to continue in the future and it has established a subsidiary in the United Kingdom.  The Company believes it is very well established in continental Europe.

          With respect to consumption trends, the Company believes that there is a major trend towards the consumption of varietal wines in general, and certain varietal wines in particular, in its major export markets, principally the United States, Europe, Asia and Canada.  The Company has tailored its new grape plantings to respond to this trend.  In addition, the Company has experienced a shift towards the consumption of wines from the New World including wines from Australia, Chile, the U.S., South Africa and Argentina.

E. Off - Balance Sheet Arrangements

          We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to our Company.

C. Board Practices

          Members of the current Board of Directors were elected at the annual general shareholders’ meeting held on April 26, 2005, and will serve until April 2008, assuming no vacancies occur.  The Company’s executive officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and hold office at the discretion of the Board.

          There are no service contracts between the directors of the Company and the Company or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of a director’s employment.

          We currently have neither a separate audit nor a remuneration committee.  It is our intention to establish an audit committee in compliance with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 by July 31, 2005.  However, in the place of both the audit and the remuneration committees, the Company has a Directors’ Committee that carries out the functions usually performed by those committees.

          In compliance with the current Chilean rules and regulations, a Directors’ Committee was established at the Company on May 23, 2001.  The Committee’s members were renewed in April 26, 2005.  The designated Directors’ Committee members are Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres, Christian Skibsted-Hansen Cortés and Rafael Guilisasti Gana.  Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres and Christian Skibsted-Hansen were elected directors with votes different from the Controlling Group.  The primary functions of the Directors’ Committee include:

 

reviewing balance sheets and financial statements and reports from accounting oversight bodies and auditors;

 

proposing outside auditors to the Board;

 

examining background information regarding the Company’s operations with related persons;

 

reviewing managers’ and executive officers’ compensation plans; and

 

monitoring internal control systems used at Viña Concha y Toro and its affiliated companies.

          The Directors’ Committee convened on 10 separate occasions during the fiscal year 2004.  Among the issues addressed were:

 

Assessment of the External Auditor’s reports on the Company, the Balance Sheet and other financial statements management put forward;

 

The proposal of external auditors and credit risk rating companies that are then suggested to the shareholders;

50


 

Examination of background information on business operations conducted during the year relating to articles 44 and 89 of the Stock Company Law and, for the same purpose, review of the auditor’s report commissioned by the Committee;

 

Examination of the system of remuneration and the compensation plans for managers and senior management;

 

Analysis of in-house control systems used at Viña Concha y Toro and its affiliated companies;

 

Report on activities proposed in the Letter to the General Manager;

 

Preliminary audit report for fiscal 2004;

 

Preliminary report on the implementation of the Sarbanes Oxley Law;

          An annual budget of Ch$20,000 thousand for Committee operations was approved at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.  In 2004, the Committee contracted services of independent consultants costing Ch$7,880 thousand.

          The Company is subject to United States securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, passed into law in 2002 to restore investor confidence in the wake of several unprecedented corporate scandals and collapses.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s provisions are wide ranging and include provisions affecting disclosures by public companies and corporate governance.

          The integrity of management and auditors is at the heart of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires listed foreign private issuers to have an audit committee composed of independent directors by July 31, 2005.  It also promotes auditor independence by prohibiting auditors from providing certain non-audit services whilst conducting audits.  The Company’s existing oversight and corporate governance practices fully honor the spirit and requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reforms in many respects.  For instance, auditor independence has been strengthened with the adoption of an auditor independence policy by the Company.

          The Company’s Board of Directors is committed to implementing measures that will promote investor confidence and market integrity.  In response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company has formalized a methodology to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information disclosed to the market.  The Company is committed to complying with the laws and regulations applicable in all countries in which the Company operates.  Upon enactment of new laws and regulations resulting from, or coming into force of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company will adjust its corporate governance structure in a way so as to ascertain full compliance.

Comparative Summary of Differences In Corporate Governance Standards

          The following table provides a comparative summary of differences in corporate governance practices followed by the Company under Chilean regulations and standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers pursuant to Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

51


Section

 

NYSE Standards

 

Viña Concha y Toro Practices Pursuant to Chilean Regulations


 


 


303A.01

 

Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors.

 

There is no legal requirement for a majority of independent directors in Chile.  The Company has a non-majority of independent directors and a Directors’ Committee that includes a majority of independent directors.  Their main functions include: (i) to review balance sheets and financial statements and reports from accounting oversight bodies and auditors; (ii) to propose outside auditors to the Board; (iii) to review background information regarding the Company’s operations with related persons; and (iv) to review managers’ and chief executive officers’ compensation plans.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.02

 

Independence Test

 

Directors/members of the Directors’ Committee are independent when he/she would have been elected even after subtracting the votes from the controlling shareholder and persons related to the controlling shareholder.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.03

 

Non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management

 

In light of legal inconsistency between performing the functions of director and those of general manager, these sessions are unnecessary.  In compliance with local regulations, the Company has no directors with dual directorial/managerial functions.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.04

 

Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, whose activities must include identifying qualified individuals to serve as board members and developing a set of corporate governance principles. A written charter is also required.

 

This committee is not contemplated as such in the Chilean regulations.  Pursuant to Chilean regulations, the Company has a Directors’ Committee.  Nominations for Board members are made at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, while the Board nominates the members of the Directors’ Committee.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.05

 

Listed companies must have a Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors, and its activities must include reviewing and approving the goals/objectives of the CEO and other officers’ compensation.  A written charter is also required.

 

This committee is not contemplated as such in the Chilean regulations but, according to Chilean law, the Directors’ Committee reviews the remunerations and compensation plans of managers and chief executive officers. The Board sets the managers’ objectives, evaluates their commitment and determines compensation. Per article 50bis of Law No. 18.046 on corporations, the Board reviews the aforementioned remuneration plans on an annual basis.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.06
303A.07

 

Listed companies must have an Audit Committee with a minimum of three members, certain requirements of independence and a written charter.

 

This committee is not contemplated as such, but pursuant to Chilean regulations, the Company has a Directors’ Committee composed of three majority-independent members. The Committee performs the functions of an Audit Committee, and its duties include those listed under 303A.01.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.08

 

Shareholders must have the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans involving directors, executives, employees or other service providers.

 

Chilean law contemplates the option to implement compensation plans or programs for employees via stock options, but presently, the Company does not include the granting of shares within its remuneration policies.  Directors, members of the Directors’ Committee, managers and any other officers can obtain Company shares only at their own initiative, which in turn should be timely reported to the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor and the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.09

 

Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. The following subjects must be addressed:  (i) director qualification standards; (ii) director responsibilities; (iii) director access to management; (iv) director compensation; (v) director orientation and continuing education; (vi) management succession; and (vii) 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 approved at the annual shareholders’ meeting pursuant to applicable law.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.10

 

Listed companies must adopt and disclose a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers and employees. The Code must be printed on the Company website or otherwise available for shareholders to obtain a copy.

 

This code is not contemplated as such in the Chilean regulations.  The Company has a code of business conduct and ethics entitled “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of Concha y Toro,” known to directors and officers whose observance and compliance is regulated by the Deputy Management of the Controller and Audit-General.  The Code is available on the Company website at www.conchaytoro.com.

D. Employees

          As of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company Chilean operation had 1,565, 1,640 and 1,611 employees, respectively.  Personnel employed in the foreign subsidiaries totaled 181 employees. Of the Chilean work force at December, 2004, 607 were laborers and 1,004 held administrative and sales positions.  The Company also hires temporary workers during the harvesting season, which in 2004 averaged 1,196 temporary workers.

          Seven labor unions represent an aggregate of approximately 253 of the Company’s employees (approximately 53 administrative employees, 46 sales employees, and 154 plant employees).  Labor relations with unionized personnel are governed by collective bargaining agreements negotiated in 2001-2003 that expire in 2005- 2009. The Company believes that it currently has a good working relationship with its labor unions; however, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of any future negotiations with such labor unions.

          In certain circumstances, the Company pays severance benefits equivalent to five labor days for each year of services rendered by the employee.  The Company has agreed with 1 labor union- (representing 13 of its workers) to pay such severance benefits to their members in all circumstances.  Additionally, the Company has agreed with the 94 employees covered by one collective bargaining agreement to pay the equivalent of 5 days salary for each year of service in all circumstances.  Under Chilean law, all employees who are terminated for reasons other than misconduct are entitled to the basic payment of one month’s salary for each year worked, or six-month portion thereof, subject to a limit of 11 months’ severance pay for employees hired after August 4, 1981.  Severance payments to employees hired before August 14, 1981 are not subject to this limit.

          The Company does not maintain any pension or retirement programs for its employees.  Workers in Chile are covered by a national pension law which establishes a system of independent pension plans administered by the Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones (“Pension Fund Administrators”).  The Company has no liability for the performance of the pension plans or any pension payments to be made to the employees in Chile.

          All employees, including management, are entitled to a discount of 30% off the retail price on wine purchases from Company-owned facilities.  Each employee may buy no more than 2 cases per month.

Related Party Transactions

          In the ordinary course of its business, the Company engages in transactions with its affiliates.  In addition, the Company has engaged in transactions with directors and executive officers of the Company.  The principal transactions with such related parties during the last three fiscal years are as follows:

          Viñedos Emiliana.  Viñedos Emiliana is a Chilean corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) which produces wines for export and domestic markets and is listed in the Chilean Exchanges.  Viñedos Emiliana was originally a subsidiary of the Company until 1986 when the Company distributed shares of Viñedos Emiliana to the Company’s then existing shareholders.  Although Viñedos Emiliana is a separate corporation, the Company and Viñedos Emiliana remain under common control.  Certain of the principal shareholders of the Company own directly and indirectly approximately 59.6% of Viñedos Emiliana’s outstanding capital stock and, additionally, the Company and Viñedos Emiliana have other common shareholders.  Viñedos Emiliana’s seven member Board of Directors includes one of the Company’s seven directors (Alfonso Larraín Santa María).  Viñedos Emiliana and the Company have various business dealings, the most significant of which are described below.

          The Company has a license from Viñedos Emiliana to use Viñedos Emiliana’s brand name in Chile.  The Company bottles (or packages in Tetra Brik containers) and sells in Chile for its own account a portion of its varietal wine production under Viñedos Emiliana’s labels.  The Company pays licensing fees to Viñedos Emiliana for the use of its labels.  Licensing fees are based on the Company’s gross revenues from sales of wines under Viñedos Emiliana’s labels.

          Viñedos Emiliana does not have its own bottling facilities.  Pursuant to a contract with Viñedos Emiliana, the Company bottles wine produced by Viñedos Emiliana.  This wine is sold by Viñedos Emiliana in export markets for its own account under Viñedos Emiliana’s labels.  The Company receives a per bottle fee for bottling services provided to Viñedos Emiliana.  This fee is for the same amount as the Company would charge to an unrelated wine producer for bottling services.  With the Company’s consent, Banfi, the Company’s exclusive distributor in the United States, also acts as the exclusive distributor for Viñedos Emiliana’s wines in the United States.  In April 2003, the Board approved the subscription of a new bottling contract between Concha y Toro and Viñedos Emiliana for an estimated amount of Ch$4,700 million for the first year.  This operation, according to the Directors’ Committee reflects market conditions.

          With the Company’s consent, Banfi, the Company’s exclusive distributor in the United States, also acts as the exclusive distributor for Viñedos Emiliana’s wines in the United States.

          In 2004, the Company recognized Ch$2,637 million in revenues from Viñedos Emiliana, or 1.4% of total revenues, including mainly revenues from sales in bottling fees and administrative services.  In 2004, the Company paid Viñedos Emiliana Ch$227 million in licensing fees.  The Company recognized revenues from Viñedos Emiliana of Ch$3,441 million in 2003 and Ch$3,736 million in 2002.  The Company paid Viñedos Emiliana Ch$375 million in 2003 and Ch$392 million in 2002 in licensing fees.

          From time to time, the Company engages in other transactions with Viñedos Emiliana, including purchases of wine in bulk at market prices, grapes and other raw materials. In 2004, 2003 and 2002 total purchases from Viñedos Emiliana totaled Ch$942 million, Ch$833 million and Ch$332 million, respectively.

57

The Company also purchases grapes from Frutícola for vinification.  In 2004, 2003and 2002, the Company purchased Ch$287 million, Ch$200 million and Ch$218 million of grapes from Frutícola, respectively.  Frutícola is a Chilean corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) listed on the Chilean Exchanges.  Frutícola was formerly a subsidiary of the Company until 1986 when the Company distributed Frutícola shares to the Company’s then existing shareholders.

          The Company and Frutícola are under common control.  Two of the Company’s seven directors is a member of Frutícola’s seven-member Board of Directors (Rafael Guilisasti Gana and Pablo Guilisasti Gana).  Mr. Andrés Larraín Santa María, the Company’s Agricultural Manager, and Mr. Felipe Larraín Vial, son of the Company’s Chairman, are also directors of Frutícola.  Certain Principal Shareholders directly and indirectly own approximately 56.33%of the outstanding common stock of Frutícola.

          Industria Corchera.  In November of 2000, the Company acquired 49.6% of the capital stock of Industria Corchera through a direct purchase of shares from Quivolgo, Totihue and two investment companies controlled by a director of the Company.  Based on a prior economic valuation of Industria Corchera by PriceWaterhouse, the Company invested a total of US$6 million.  The purchase price will be paid in five annual installments with the last installment due in 2005.  As of December 2004, total owed related to the investment in Industria was Ch$839 million.  The liability is expressed in U.S. dollars and accrues interest at an annual interest rate of Libor - 1%.  In November 2002, with the acquisition of 4,818 shares, representing 0.24% of the capital stock of Industria Corchera, the Company increased its ownership in Industria Conchera to 49.84%.

          Viña Almaviva.  Viña Almaviva is a 50-50% joint venture company between the Company and Baron Philippe de Rothschild.  The Company purchases from Almaviva used French oak barrels (used during one aging season) and the Almaviva wine that is sold in Chile through Distribuidora Peumo.  Total purchases from Almaviva in 2004, 2003, and 2002 were Ch$708 million, Ch$336 million and Ch$261 million, respectively.  In addition, the Company sells to Almaviva raw materials and services.  Sales to Almaviva totaled in 2004, 2003, and 2002, Ch$100 million, Ch$137 million and Ch$312 million, respectively.

          Related Transaction With Entities in Which the Directors and Executive Officers Have an Equity Interest.  The Company purchases small quantities of grapes, plants and other services from entities in which several of its directors, executive officers or members of their families have interests.  In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company purchased an aggregate of approximately Ch$685 million, Ch$637 million and Ch$481 million, respectively, of such goods and services from such entities.

          Other.  Article 89 of the Chilean Corporation Law requires that the Company’s transactions with related parties be on a market basis or on terms similar to those customarily prevailing in the market.  Directors and executive officers of companies that violate Article 89 are liable for losses resulting from such violation.  In addition, Article 44 of the Chilean Corporation Law provides that any transaction in which a director has a personal interest or is acting on behalf of a third party may be approved only when the board of directors has been informed of such director’s interest and the terms of such transactions are similar to those prevailing in the market.  Chilean law requires that an interested director abstain from voting on such a transaction.  See “Item 10 — Directors” for further information relating to conflict of interest transactions.  Resolutions approving such transactions must be reported to the Company’s shareholders at the next shareholder’s meeting.  Violation of Article 44 may result in administrative or criminal sanctions and civil liability to the Company and shareholders or interested third parties who suffer losses as a result of such violation.  The Company believes that it has complied with the requirements of Article 89 and Article 44 in all transactions with related parties during fiscal year 2004.

For additional information concerning the Company’s transactions with affiliates and other related parties, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

THE OFFER AND LISTING

          Prior to the offerings of the ADS and the shares of Common Stock in October 1994, there was no public market for such securities in the United States.  The Common Stock is currently traded on the Chilean Exchanges.  In 2004, trading on the Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for approximately 81% of the trading volume of the Common Stock.  The ADS are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol “VCO.”

          The tables below show, for the periods indicated, high and low closing sale prices of a share of Common Stock in nominal Chilean pesos and the quarterly shares trading volume of the Common Stock on the Santiago Stock Exchange.  The U.S. dollar figures reflect, for the periods indicated, actual high and low closing prices for the ADS on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.  The ADS may or may not actually trade at 50 times the price per share.  See Item 3 — “Key Information — Exchange Rates” for the exchange rates applicable during the periods set forth below.  The following information is not restated in constant Chilean pesos.

ITEM 10:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


A. Legal and Arbitration Proceedings

          The Company is not involved in any litigation or arbitration proceedings which, if determined adversely to the Company, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, nor to the Company’s knowledge, are any such proceedings threatened.

B. Estatutos (By-Laws)

          The following is a summary of certain information regarding the Company’s By-Laws and provisions of Chilean law.  This summary is not complete.  For a complete overview of the provisions of the By-Laws discussed in this summary, you are encouraged to read the Company’s By-Laws, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Annual Report.

          Registration and corporate purposes.  The Company is a corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized by means of a public deed (escritura pública) dated December 31, 1921, the abstract of which was recorded on Page 1051, Number 875, of Santiago’s Registry of Commerce in 1922 and published in Chile’s Official Gazette on November 6, 1922. Its existence was approved by a Supreme Decree Number 1556, dated October 18, 1922. After corporate amendments were made, the Company’s public deed was recorded on Page 15,664, Number 12,447 of Santiago’s Registry of Commerce in 1999 and recorded at Chile’s Securities Registry of the Superintendency of Securities under No. 0043 on June, 14, 1982.  As set forth in Article 2 of the Company’s By-Laws, the purposes of the Company are:  the operation and marketing of the wine-making industry in all its forms and all its distinct phases, whether with its own stock or stock purchased from third parties; the operation of agricultural real estate owed by the Company or leased from third parties; and the carrying out of real estate investments including acquiring, transferring and constructing real estate, either with its own personnel or through third parties.

          Directors.  Under the Chilean Corporation Law, a corporation may not enter into a contract or agreement in which a director has a direct or indirect interest (a conflicting interest transaction) without prior approval by the Board of Directors, and only if the terms of the conflicting interest transaction are similar to those of an arm’s length transaction.

60


          If the conflicting interest transaction involves a “material amount,” the Board of Directors is required to produce a statement declaring in advance that the conflicting interest transaction is similar in its terms to an arm’s length transaction.  A conflicting interest transaction is deemed to involve a “material amount” if the amount involved is both greater than 2,000 Unidades de Fomento (as of May 31, 2005, approximately US$59,960) and exceeds 1% of the assets of the corporation, or if the amount exceeds 20,000 Unidades de Fomento (as of May 31, 2005, approximately US$599,600) regardless of the size of the transaction.  If the Board of Directors believes that it is not possible to ascertain whether the conflicting interest transaction is similar to an arm’s length transaction, it may reject the conflicting interest transaction, or appoint independent advisors to make such a determination. If the Board appoints independent advisors, the report prepared by the advisors must be made available to the shareholders and the Board of Directors for 20 business days from the date the report was received from the independent advisors.

          The shareholders will be notified in writing of the receipt of the report. After this period the Board may approve or reject the subject transaction, but the Board is not required to follow the independent advisors’ conclusion. The Board may treat the conflicting interest transaction and the report as confidential information. Shareholders representing at least 5% of the voting shares of the Company may request the Board to call a shareholders’ meeting in order to approve or reject the conflicting interest transaction by a two-thirds majority of the outstanding voting shares.

          Interested directors are excluded from all decisions of the Board relating to the conflicting interest transaction. All decisions adopted by the Board in respect of the conflicting interest transaction must be reported in the following shareholders’ meeting. The controller of the corporation or the related party who intends to enter into the conflicting interest transaction shall make available to the Board of Directors, at the time the transaction is being considered by the Board, all information relating to the transaction filed with any non-Chilean regulatory entities or stock exchanges.  If a suit for damages arises from such a transaction, the defendant (i.e., one or more directors, the controller, a related party, or all of the foregoing) bears the burden of proof that the transaction was on terms equally or more beneficial to the corporation than an arm’s length transaction, unless the conflicting interest transaction had been previously approved by the shareholders.

          The amount of any director’s remuneration is established each year at the annual shareholders’ meeting.  Directors are not entitled to vote on any proposal relating to compensation for themselves or any member of the Board.

          Directors are forbidden from borrowing or otherwise making use of corporate money or assets for their own benefit, unless previously authorized by the Board of Directors. Directors are also prohibited from borrowing or otherwise making use of corporate money or assets for the benefit of companies in which such directors are either directors or owners of a 10% interest or more, unless previously authorized by the Board of Directors.  Directors who receive such loans are excluded from voting on that matter. However, shareholders’ authorization is not required if authorized by the Board of Directors. These rules can only be modified by law.

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

          Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares.  At least thirty percent of the Company’s annual net income calculated in accordance with Chilean GAAP is required to be distributed in cash to the shareholders, unless the 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 By-Laws, by the vote of a majority of the voting stock issued), or to pay future dividends.

          Compulsory minimum dividends become due thirty days after the date on which the shareholders meeting has approved the distribution of profits for that fiscal year. Any additional dividends approved by the shareholders become due on the date set by the shareholders or the Board of Directors.

          Dividends are to be paid quarterly and whenever the corporate treasury has accumulated sufficient funds to pay shareholders the equivalent of at least 5% of the book value of their stock. 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 annual interest established for adjustable operations over the same period.

61


          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.

          The Company has only one class of shares and, therefore, there are no preferences or limitations on the voting rights of shareholders. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share. In shareholders’ meetings, determinations are generally made by a simple majority of shareholders entitled to vote. However, the Chilean Corporation Law provides that certain determinations require the vote of a two-thirds majority of the voting stock issued.

          The Company’s directors are elected every three years and their terms are not staggered. Chilean law does not permit cumulative voting. However, 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 the shareholders present and entitled to vote, the vote may be omitted and the election made by acclamation.

          In the event of liquidation, the Chilean Corporation Law 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 the Company, nor are there any liabilities to shareholders relating to future capital calls by the corporation.

          Under Chilean law, certain provisions affect an existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of the shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. The Securities Market Law establishes that (a) any person who, directly or indirectly, (i) owns 10% or more of the subscribed capital of a corporation (the “majority shareholders”) whose shares are registered in the Securities Registry of the Superintendency of Securities, or (ii) owns any such percentage because of the purchase of shares; and (b) all directors, the chief executive officer and the other principal officers of any corporation whose shares are registered with the Superintendency of Securities, regardless of the number of shares they own, must report any purchase or sale of shares made by such persons or entities within two business days of such transactions to the Superintendency of Securities and to each of the stock exchanges in Chile where such corporation has securities registered. In addition, majority shareholders must inform the Superintendency of Securities and the stock exchanges with respect to whether the purchase is aimed at acquiring control of the corporation or merely 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 Superintendency of Securities, 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.

          Chapter XXV of the Securities Market Law was recently enacted in order 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.

          The Chilean Corporation Law 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, at least once, to existing shareholders, proportionally to the number of shares owned by them. A corporation must distribute any bonus stock in the same manner.

          The Chilean Corporation Law also provides shareholders with a 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, dissenting shareholders will be automatically entitled to withdraw from the corporation upon payment by the corporation of the market value of their shares:

62


 

a)

conversion of the corporation into a different type of legal entity;

 

 

 

 

b)

merger of the corporation;

 

 

 

 

c)

disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation, whether or not including the liabilities;

 

 

 

 

d)

guarantee of a third party’s liabilities with collateral exceeding 50% of the corporation’s assets;

 

 

 

 

e)

establishment of preferences in connection with a series of shares, or any other modification of existing preferences, in which case only dissenting shareholders in the affected series will have the right to withdraw; and curing certain errors or defects affecting the corporate charter, or amending the By-Laws in respect of one or more of the matters listed above.

          In addition, shareholders may withdraw if a person becomes the owner of two-thirds 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.

          The Company’s By-Laws do not provide for additional circumstances under which shareholders may withdraw.

          Action necessary to change the rights of holders of stock.  Rights of shareholders are established by law and pursuant to the By-Laws of a corporation. Any change to the rights of shareholders must be adopted by a majority of shareholders or, in some cases, by a two-thirds majority vote, as discussed above. However, the amendment of certain rights requires a unanimous vote of the shareholders, including the right of shareholders to receive at least 30% of the net profits for each fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no decision of the shareholders can deprive a shareholder from his proprietary interest in its stock.

          The Company’s By-Laws do not provide for additional conditions in connection with matters described in this subsection.

          Shareholders’ meetings.  Annual shareholders’ meetings are to be held during the months of January, February, March or April of each year. During the meetings, determinations are made relating to particular matters, which may or may not be specifically indicated in the notice of such meeting.  The quorum for a shareholders’ meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least an absolute majority (50% plus one) of the issued voting stock of the Company; 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:

 

a)

review of the state of the corporation and of the reports of internal and independent auditors, and the approval or rejection of the annual report, balance sheet, financial statements and records submitted by the officers or liquidators of the corporation;

 

 

 

 

b)

distribution of profits, including the distribution of dividends;

 

 

 

 

c)

election or revocation of regular and alternate Board members, liquidators and management supervisors; and

 

 

 

 

d)

determinations regarding compensation of the Board members;

 

 

 

 

e)

designation of a newspaper to publish the notice of meetings; and,

63


 

f)

in general, any other matter to be dealt with by the annual meeting relating to the Company and not specifically reserved to extraordinary shareholders’ meetings.

          Extraordinary shareholders’ meetings may be held at any time. During extraordinary meetings, determinations are made relating to any matter which Chilean law or the Company’s By-Laws reserve for consideration at such extraordinary meetings, which matters shall be expressly set forth in the relevant notice. Whenever in an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting determinations must be made relating to matters specifically reserved to annual meetings, the operation and decisions of such extraordinary meeting will follow the requirements applicable to annual meetings.

 

The following matters are specifically reserved for extraordinary meetings:

 

 

 

 

a)

dissolution of the corporation;

 

 

 

 

b)

transformation, merger or spin off of the corporation, and amendments to its By-Laws;

 

 

 

 

c)

issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into stock;

 

 

 

 

d)

transfer of corporate fixed assets and liabilities; and

 

 

 

 

e)

guarantees of third parties’ obligations, except when these third parties are affiliated 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; and

 

 

 

- when required by the Superintendency of Securities.

          Only holders of stock registered in the Record of Shareholders five days before the date of the pertinent meeting may participate with the right to speak and vote in shareholders’ meetings. Directors and officers other than shareholders may participate in shareholders’ meetings with the right to speak.

          Shareholders may be represented at meetings by other individuals, regardless of whether or not those persons are shareholders themselves. Representation must be conferred five days before the date of the relevant meeting, in writing, and for the total number of shares held by the shareholder.

          Limitations on the right to own securities.  The right to own any kind of property is guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution, and the Chilean Corporation Law 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.  The Company’s securities are not restricted by these limitations, and the Company’s By-Laws do not contain restrictions or limitations in this respect.

          Takeover defenses. The Company’s By-Laws do not contain any provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiaries).

          Ownership threshold.  The Company’s By-Laws do not contain any ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

          Changes in capital.  The By-Laws do not impose any conditions that are more stringent than those required by law for effecting changes in the capital of the Company.

C. Material Contracts

          Viña Almaviva.  On June 30, 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture with Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A. (“BPR”), a French company, establishing Viña Almaviva S.A. (“Viña Almaviva,” formerly “Rothschild S.A.”) for the production of “Primer Orden” wines in Chile.  For a discussion of Viña Almaviva, see Item 4 – “Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company.”

          Industria Corchera.  In November of 2000, the Company purchased 49.6% of the capital stock of Industria Corchera from certain directors of the Company.  In November, 2002 the Company increased its ownership to 49.84%.  See Item 7 – “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – Related Party Transactions” for a discussion of the acquisition and the agreements with Industria Corchera.

          In connection with this acquisition, the Company and Amorim entered into a shareholders’ agreement establishing provisions, among others,  for the transfer of shares and other agreements in relation to the administration of Industria Corchera.  An English translation of the shareholders’ agreement between the Company and Amorim was filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F (No. 1-3358) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and incorporated by reference herein.  The Company and Amorim jointly own 99.68% of the capital stock of Industria Corchera.

D. Policy on Dividend Distributions

          In accordance with Chilean law, the Company must distribute cash dividends equal to at least 30% of the Company’s annual net income calculated in accordance with Chilean GAAP, unless otherwise decided by a unanimous vote of the holders of the shares, and unless and to the extent that the Company has accumulated losses.  If there is no net income in a given year, the Company may elect, but is not legally obligated, to distribute dividends out of retained earnings.  Shareholders who do not expressly elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have decided to receive the dividend in cash.  A U.S. holder of ADS may, in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an available exemption from the registration requirement thereunder, effectively be required to receive a dividend in cash.

          The Company’s dividend policy approved at the general shareholders’ meeting is to distribute 40% of net earnings.  For fiscal year 2004, interim dividends Nos. 216, 217 and 218 of Ch$2.00 per share were paid on September 30, 2004, December 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005, respectively. A final dividend No. 219 of Ch$6.62 per share was paid on May 26, 2005 against the profits of the 2004 fiscal year. Total dividends disbursed against the profits of 2004 fiscal year were 40% of net earnings.

          For fiscal year 2005, the Board approved to pay three provisional dividends of Ch$2.50 per share, charged against the profits for fiscal year 2005. These will be paid on September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, while the remaining profits up to a limit of 40% of the earnings shall be disbursed in May 2006.

          The above detailed dividend policy is the Board’s intent; however, fulfillment thereof will be contingent on cash flows.  Consequently, at the annual shareholders’ meeting, the Board shall solicit shareholder approval to modify the amounts and payment dates should the necessity arise.

E. Exchange Controls

          The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and control of foreign exchange transactions.

          The Central Bank of Chile adopted a new Foreign Exchange Regulations Compendium (the New Regulations”) published in the Official Gazette on January 23, 2002 and effective as of March 1, 2002. The New Regulations impose only three levels of restrictions or obligations on foreign exchange transactions in Chile: (i) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency must be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank) and reported to the Central Bank of Chile (e.g., investments, loans, deposits and certain other transactions in excess of US$10,000);  (ii)  certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency to be

65


remitted abroad must be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market without any reporting obligation (e.g., all license and royalty payments to be remitted abroad); and (iii) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency must only be reported to the Central Bank of Chile (i.e., payments regarding import and export transactions, etc.).

          Because the Law of the Central Bank of Chile authorizes the Central Bank of Chile to regulate foreign exchange transactions, including those relating to ADS facilities, more restrictive regulations on foreign exchange affecting ADS holders of the Company at any time may be imposed`.  If imposed, such regulations could, among other things, restrict the ability of ADS holders to dispose of the underlying shares of Common Stock of the ADS or to repatriate proceeds of the Common Stock.  The duration or impact of any such restrictions would be difficult to assess.

          The ADS facility is subject to a contract between the Depositary, the Company and the Central Bank of Chile (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) that grants the Depositary and the holders of the ADS access to Chile’s Formal Exchange Market and permits the Depositary to remit dividends received from the Company to holders of ADS without restriction.  See Item 10 — “Additional Information —  Exchange Controls” for a more detailed description of the new regulations and the Foreign Investment Contract.  The Foreign Investment Contract is currently in force and will continue to govern the ADS facility until all parties agree to terminate it.  If the Foreign Investment Contract is terminated, the ADS facility would then become subject to the New Regulations.  Under Chilean legislation, a Foreign Investment Contract may not be altered or affected adversely by actions of the Central Bank of Chile.

          The following is a summary of certain provisions that are contained in the Foreign Investment Contract. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Foreign Investment Contract and Chapter XXVI of the former Foreign Exchange Regulations, which were filed as Exhibits 2.2 and 4.4, respectively, to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (No. 33-84298) and incorporated by reference herein.  Although Chapter XXVI of the former Foreign Exchange Regulations are no longer in force, their terms do apply to the Company through the Foreign Investment Contract.

          Under Chapter XXVI of the former Foreign Exchange Regulations and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant to the Depositary, on behalf of ADS holders, and to any investor neither resident nor domiciled in Chile who withdraws Common Stock upon delivery of ADS (such shares of Common Stock being referred to herein as “Withdrawn Shares”), access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert pesos to U.S. dollars (and to remit such dollars outside of Chile) in respect of shares of Common Stock represented by ADS or Withdrawn Shares, including amounts received as (a) cash dividends; (b) proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares; (c) proceeds from the sale in Chile of rights to subscribe for additional shares of 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 of Common Stock represented by ADS or Withdrawn Shares.  However, Chapter XXVI also provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market for repatriation of the sales proceeds of Withdrawn Shares or distributions thereon would be conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of certification by the Depositary (or the custodian on its behalf) that such Shares had been withdrawn in exchange for ADS, a waiver of the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract until such Withdrawn Shares were redeposited, and the Withdrawn Shares are redeposited with the Depositary.  Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for ADS will have the right to redeposit such shares in exchange for ADS, provided that the conditions to redeposit are satisfied.  For a description of the Formal Exchange Market, See Item 3 — “Key Information — Exchange Rates.”

          Chapter XXVI of the former Foreign Exchange Regulations provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market for repatriation of dividend or distribution payments would be conditioned upon certification by the Company to the Central Bank of Chile that a dividend or distribution payment had been made and any applicable tax had been withheld.  Cash, dividends and other distributions paid by the Company with respect to ADS held by a non-Chilean resident holder are subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld by the Company.  However, stock dividends are deemed a non taxable event pursuant to Chilean Income Tax Law, thus, not subject to Chilean taxation.  See Item 10 — “Additional Information — Taxation.”   

66


          Chapter XXVI of the former Foreign Exchange Regulations and the Foreign Investment Contract provide that a person who brings foreign currency into Chile must convert it into Chilean pesos (Liquidation restriction) on the same date and has five days within which to invest in shares of Common Stock in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract.  If such person decides within such period not to acquire shares of Common Stock, he can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire U.S. dollars, provided that the applicable request to purchase U.S. dollars is presented to the Central Bank of Chile within five days, plus two additional days to request the Central Bank authorization of the initial conversion into pesos.  Shares acquired as described above may be deposited for ADS and receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such deposit has been effected and that the related ADS have been issued and a declaration from the person making such deposit waiving the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited shares of Common Stock. 

          Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic.  Pursuant to former Chapter XXVI, such access required approval of the Central Bank of Chile based on a request presented through a banking institution established in Chile.  The Foreign Investment Contract provides that if the Central Bank of Chile has not acted on such request within seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved.

          As noted above, all the rights, procedures and exchange benefits contained in the Foreign Investment Contract are still in force in connection with the ADS issuance.

F. Taxation

          The following discussion is a summary of certain Chilean and U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the ADS or the shares.  The discussion is based on current law and is for general information only.  Moreover, while the Company’s tax advisors believe this discussion to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force as of the date of this Annual Report, no assurances can be given that the courts or tax authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes in such laws will not occur.  In addition, the discussion does not address all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the ADS or the shares.

          Each holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the particular tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADS or shares of Common Stock.

          Chile

          There is no Double Taxation Treaty between Chile and the United States, although negotiations are currently taking place. Accordingly, the following discussion is based exclusively on Chilean domestic tax legislation.

          The discussion summarizes the material Chilean income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADS or shares of Common Stock by an individual who is neither domiciled in, nor a resident of, Chile for tax purposes or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment in Chile (a “foreign holder”).  However, it is not a full description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision related to the ADS or shares of Common Stock.  The discussion is based on Chilean income tax laws, regulations and rulings of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service,  including Rulings  Nº 324 of 1990, Nº 3985 of 1994, Nº 1969 of 1995, Nº 3807 of 2000 and Circular Letter Nº 7 of 2002,  all of which are subject to change.

          It is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation.  For purposes of Chilean taxation, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if he has resided in Chile for more than six consecutive months in a  calendar year, or a total of more than six months, whether consecutive or not, within two consecutive tax years.

67


          Pursuant to the Chilean Constitution, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign investors, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected, may only be amended by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings, circular letters and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of Chilean tax law.  Pursuant to article 26 of the Chilean Tax Code, Chilean taxes may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations and interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change such rulings, regulations and interpretations prospectively. 

          Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

          Cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to the ADS or shares of Common Stock held by a foreign holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax (the “Withholding Tax”), which will be withheld and paid to the Chilean Treasury by the Company.  The Chilean tax system is integrated, thus a credit against the Withholding Tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax actually paid by the Company on the income to be distributed (the “First-Category Tax”); however, this credit does not reduce the Withholding Tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Withholding Tax is imposed.  From 1991 until 2001, the First-Category Tax rate was 15% resulting in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 23.52%.  For 2002, the First-Category Tax rate was 16% resulting in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 22.62% and for year 2003 the First-Category Tax rate was 16.5%.  Finally, for current year 2005 the First-Category Tax rate is 17%, resulting in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 21.69%.

          The example below illustrates the effective Chilean Withholding Tax burden on a cash dividend received by a foreign holder, assuming a Withholding Tax rate of 35%, an effective First-Category Tax rate of 17% and a distribution of 50% of the net income of the Company distributable after payment of the First-Category Tax:

          In general, the effective dividend Withholding Tax rate, after giving effect to the credit for the First-Category Tax, can be calculated using the following formula:

Effective dividend Withholding Tax rate = 

 (Withholding Tax rate (35)) - (First-Category Tax rate (17))

 

 


 

 

100 - (First-Category Tax rate (17))

 

          Under Chilean income tax law, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of the Company’s oldest retained profits for purposes of determining the level of First-Category Tax that was paid by the Company.  For years prior to 1991, the First-Category tax was 10%. Although this reduced First-Category Tax resulted in relatively greater amounts of distributable post-tax income for those years, the credit against the Withholding Tax for the First-Category Tax paid by the Company for those years will commensurably be diminished.  Distributions of profits made with retained profits of those years, therefore, resulted in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 27.8%.  Distributions of profits made with retained earnings of years 2001 and 2002, resulted or

68


 will result in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 23.52% and 22.62%, respectively. For year 2003 onwards the effective dividend withholding tax is approximately 21,69%.

          Dividend distributions made in property would be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends.  Stock dividends are deemed a non taxable event, thus, not subject to Chilean taxation.  The assignment of preemptive rights relating to Common Stock will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Disposition of the preemptive rights on compensated basis would be deemed in Chile as ordinary business income.

          Capital Gains

          Gains from the sale or exchange of ADS by a foreign holder (or ADRs evidencing ADS) outside of Chile will be deemed a foreign source income, not subject to Chilean taxation. Gains from the sale or exchange of ADS by a Chilean resident outside of Chile, will be deemed a foreign source income, but subject to taxation in Chile as Chilean residents are subject to taxes in Chile on their worldwide income.

          The deposit and withdrawal of Common Stock in exchange for ADRs is not subject to Chilean taxation. Taxation, if any, will be triggered at the time Common Stocks are sold. The tax base of shares of Common Stock received in exchange for ADS for capital gains tax assessment will be the acquisition cost of the shares.  The acquisition cost of the shares delivered to any holder upon surrender of ADRs shall be the highest reported sales price of the shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange for the day on which the transfer of the shares is recorded under the name of the holder.  Consequently, the conversion of ADS into shares of Common Stock and the immediate sale of the shares for the value established under the Deposit Agreement, as amended, would normally not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile.

          If a capital gain is recognized on a sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock acquired upon surrender of ADRs (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADS abroad representing such shares) made by a foreign or Chilean resident or domiciled holder, such gain will be deemed a non taxable event provided that the requirements of Article 18 ter of the Chilean Income Tax Law are met. Article 18 ter was introduced to the Chilean Income Tax Law by Law Nº 19,768 which was published in the Official Gazette on November 7, 2001. The requirements of Article 18 ter of the Chilean Income Tax Law are: (i) the share at the time of sale must have a market presence. In case the market presence of the share was lost, the sale must be made within the following 90 days after the loss of the share’s market presence; (ii) the share must have been acquired and sold after April 19, 2001; and, (iii) the acquisition and sale must have been made, amongst others, in a Chilean stock exchange market or in a foreign stock exchange market authorized by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities.

          At this point, no specific guidelines have been issued by the Chilean Internal Revenue regarding Article 18 ter and ADR operations. We believe, based on the Congress discussions of Law 19,768, that the reference contained in Article 18 ter to a foreign exchange stock market authorized by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities covers the ADRs deposit and withdrawals in exchange of shares of Common Stock.

          Accordingly, provided that the deposit and withdrawal of the ADRs in exchange of shares of Common Stock is made after April 19, 2001 and that such shares of Common Stock are sold in a Chilean exchange stock market having a market presence at the time of sale, any capital gain made on such sale will be deemed a non taxable event under Article 18 ter of the Chilean Income Tax Law. In case the sale is made within the following 90 days after the loss of the share’s market presence only a portion of the capital gain made will be considered as a non taxable event.

          In case the requirements of Article 18 ter are not met and a capital gain is realized at the time of the sale of Common Stock, such capital gain, made either by a foreign holder or by Chilean resident holder, will be subject to both the First-Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if either (i) the foreign holder has held the Common Stock for less than one year since exchanging ADS for the Common Stock, or (ii) the foreign holder acquired and disposed of the Common Stock in the ordinary course of its business or as a habitual trader of shares. In all other cases, gain on the disposition of Common Stock will exclusively be subject to the First-Category Tax (presently imposed at a rate of 17%), and no Withholding Tax will apply.

69


          Amounts received by a foreign holder on the sale of preemptive rights relating to the shares of Common Stock will be deemed as business income, thus, subject to both the First-Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter).

          Other Chilean Taxes

          There are no gift, inheritance or estate taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of ADS by a foreign holder, but such taxes will generally apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the Common Stock by a foreign holder.  There are no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of Common Stock or ADS.

          Withholding Tax Certificates

          Upon request, the Company will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Withholding Tax (net of applicable First-Category Tax).

          U.S. Federal Income Taxes

          The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the ADS or shares of Common Stock.  However, it is not a full description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision related to the ADS or shares of Common Stock.  The discussion is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change.

          The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of ADS or shares of Common Stock may vary depending upon its particular situation.  Certain U.S. Holders (including, but not limited to, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons holding offsetting position in respect of the ADSs or shares of Common Stock, broker-dealers and persons owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting shares of the Company) may be subject to special rules not discussed below.  The following summary is limited to U.S. Holders who hold the ADS or shares of Common Stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.  The discussion below also does not address the effect of any state or local tax law on a U.S. Holder of the ADS or shares of Common Stock.  In addition, unless otherwise stated, the following discussion assumes that the Company is not currently, and will not in the future be, classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) within the meaning of the Code.

          As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock that is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a partnership, corporation, or other entity organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (iii) an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation without regard to the source of its income, or (iv) a trust if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, and (2) one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.  The term “Non-U.S. Holder” refers to any holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock other than a U.S. Holder.

          For U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADS (or ADRs evidencing ADS) generally will be treated as the owners of the Common Stock represented by those ADS.

          Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

          For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of a distribution with respect to ADS or shares of Common Stock will include the net amount of any Chilean tax withheld (i.e., the Withholding Tax reduced by any credit for First-Category Tax paid), and will be treated as a dividend on the date of receipt by the Depositary or the U.S. Holder of such shares, respectively, to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Distributions, if any, in excess of such current and

70


accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a non-taxable return of capital to a U.S. Holder and will be applied against and reduce such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such ADS or shares of Common Stock.  To the extent that such distributions are in excess of such basis, the distributions will constitute capital gain.  U.S. Holders that are corporations will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received in respect of distributions on ADS or shares of Common Stock.  For tax years through 2008, individual U.S. Holders are generally subject to a minimum tax rate on dividends equal to 15%, which corresponds to the maximum tax rate for long-term capital gains.  However, under current legislation, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2008, dividends will be taxed at the same rate as other items of ordinary income, which will exceed the tax rate for long-term capital gains.  U.S. Holders should consult their personal tax advisors to determine the applicability of the 15% rate for dividends, if any, paid to them.

          If a dividend distribution is paid with respect to ADS or shares of Common Stock in Chilean pesos, the amount includable in income will be the U.S. dollar value, on the date of receipt by the Depositary or the U.S. Holder of such shares of Common Stock, respectively, of the Chilean pesos amount distributed.  Any subsequent gain or loss in respect of such Chilean pesos arising from exchange rate fluctuations will generally be ordinary income or loss for U.S. Holders, although under certain limited circumstances may be capital gain or loss.  If the Depositary converts the Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars on the date it receives such pesos, U.S. Holders will not recognize any such gain or loss.

          Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Code, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability for the net amount of any Chilean tax withheld (i.e., the Withholding Tax reduced by any credit for First-Category Tax paid) from dividends received in respect of the ADS or shares of Common Stock.  Dividends generally will constitute non-U.S. source “passive income” or “financial services income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex and prospective purchasers should consult their personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they would be entitled to such credit.  U.S. Holders that do not elect to claim foreign tax credits may instead claim a deduction for Chilean tax withheld.

          A Non-U.S. Holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends received on Common Stock or ADS, unless such income is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States.

          Capital Gains

          The sale or other disposition of ADS or shares of Common Stock (or preemptive rights with respect to such shares) will generally result in the recognition of capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such ADS or shares of Common Stock.  The U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the ADS or shares of Common Stock will be such Holder’s cost for the ADS or shares of Common Stock.  Gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of ADS or shares of Common Stock will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the ADS or shares of Common Stock have been held for more than one year.  However, as discussed under the heading “Chile-Capital Gains,” gain realized from a sale or other disposition of share of Common Stock by a U.S. Holder, unlike gain realized from a sale or disposition of ADS, could be taxable in Chile.  Because U.S. taxpayers generally may only take a foreign tax credit against the U.S. federal income tax liability in respect of non-U.S. source income, in the case of gain realized from the sale or other disposition of shares of Common Stock, a U.S. Holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit for Chilean tax imposed on that gain (because such gain would generally be U.S. source for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless such U.S. Holder can apply such foreign tax credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability in respect of non-U.S. source income.

          Deposits and withdrawals of Common Stock by U.S. Holders in exchange for ADS will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

          A Non-U.S. Holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain from the sale or other disposition of such ADS or shares unless such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a U.S. trade or business.

71


          Passive Foreign Investment Companies

          The Company believes that it will not be classified as a PFIC for any prior taxable year, its current taxable year, or any succeeding taxable year.

          Under the Code, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (1) 75% or more of its income is passive income or (2) the average percentage of the value of its assets that produce (or are held for the production of) passive income is 50% or more.

          If the Company were classified as a PFIC for a taxable year, unless a U.S. Holder made a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election, a portion of distributions made by the Company (including distributions attributable to prior taxable years) to such U.S. Holder could be subject to current tax as ordinary income (at the highest applicable effective rates) plus an interest charge.  Gain on the sale or disposition of ADS or shares of Common Stock would be subject to the same tax treatment.

          A U.S. Holder making a QEF election with respect to the Company generally would not be subject to these rules, but, rather, would pay tax on his pro rata share of the Company’s ordinary earnings and net capital gains for each taxable year it holds ADS or shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the U.S. Holder received any distribution with respect to the ADS or shares of Common Stock.

          Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

          Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that does not establish an exemption, and proceeds from such a U.S. Holder’s sale or other disposition of, ADS or shares of Common Stock may have to be reported to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).  Such payments may also be subject to a backup withholding tax unless the U.S. Holder (i) provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with the requirements of the backup withholding rules or (ii) otherwise establishes an exemption.

          Subject to certain certification requirements, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder on, and proceeds from a Non-U.S. Holder’s sale or other disposition of, ADS or shares of Common Stock will generally not have to be reported to the IRS and will not be subject to backup withholding tax.

          The backup withholding currently applies at a rate of 28%.

          Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against the Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished to the IRS.

G. Documents on Display

          The Company files reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Any documents that the Company files with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC’s public reference rooms at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549; and 500 Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, Illinois 60661.

ITEM 11:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

          The Company’s principal line of business is the production and bottling of wine for sale both domestically and internationally.  The principal exposures to market risks faced by the Company are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and risk of fluctuations in the price of raw materials.

72


Interest Rate Risk

          The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its debt obligations.  As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Company’s total interest-bearing bank debt amounted to Ch$58,352 million and Ch$42,794 million respectively, of which, as of December 31, 2004, Ch$28,142 million is short term debt and Ch$30,211million is long term debt with maturities to 2010. 

          Of total debt, approximately 90% was fixed-rate debt and 10% was variable-rate debt.  The Company’s floating-rate debt, which totaled Ch$5,701 million, was denominated in Euros, GBP and ARG$.  The Company has not used any type of financial instruments to minimize interest rate risk exposure but is considering hedging as a means to mitigate this risk.

          The fair market value of total bank debt at December 31, 2004 is approximately the value at which it is presented in the consolidated financial statements and, as noted above, consists primarily of fixed rate debt (Ch$52,651 million) with an average interest rate of 4.5% with maturities through 2010.

          The following table lists the cash flows related to interest payments, amortization of debt obligations and related interest rates by fiscal year maturing with respect to the Company’s debt obligations.  Interest rates disclosed represent the weighted average rates of the portfolio at year-end.

Exchange Rate Risk

          The Company’s export sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, except for certain export sales to Canada and Europe, where prices are denominated in Canadian dollars, Sterling Pounds and Euros.  Sales of the Company’s Argentine subsidiaries are denominated in Argentine pesos. During 2004 and 2003, 75.7% and 74.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues were related to foreign currency.  As a result of these transactions, the Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which the Company distributes its products.

73


          In addition a proportion of the Argentine subsidiaries’ assets is valued in Argentine pesos and would therefore be affected by devaluation of the local currency.  Since 2004, the Company has purchased financial instruments that either eliminate or mitigate country risk.  In the income statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized Ch$274 million and Ch$521 million of losses from the conversion of the financial statements of the subsidiaries in Argentina and the depreciation of the Argentine peso.

          To mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the Company’s functional currency based sales, since 1993, the Company has adopted a policy of attempting to balance U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities to minimize its exposure to U.S. dollar – Chilean peso exchange rate risks.  To this end, the Company from time to time enters into forward exchange agreements as a way of reducing risks.

          As of December 31, 2004, the Company held U.S. dollar forwards amounting to US$18.8 million, in Euros amounting EUR12.7 million, in Canadian dollar amounting CAD6.9 million and in sterling pounds for GBP8.4 million which expired during 2005.

          The following table lists the assets and liabilities that are subject to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Commodity Price Risk

          The Company relies on outside vineyards for supplies of grapes and bulk wine.  Grapes purchased from outside vineyards are subject to fluctuation in price and quality and generally cost more than grapes from the Company’s vineyards.

          In 2004 and 2003, approximately 75% and 70%, respectively, of the grapes used in the production of its premium, varietal, varietal blends and sparkling wines was purchased by the Company from independent growers in Chile.  Additionally, in 2004, the Company purchased the grapes and bulk wine required to produce approximately 100% of the popular wines sold by the Company.  Disruptions of supplies of grapes or wine or increases in prices from these outside suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

PART II

ITEM 13:

DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

          None.

ITEM 14:

MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

          To our knowledge, no one has (i) materially modified the instruments defining the rights of our shareholders or (ii) materially modified or qualified the rights evidenced by our registered securities by issuing or modifying any other class of securities.

ITEM 15:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report as contemplated by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company were effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information is made known to management and that financial and non-financial information is properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported.

          The procedures associated with our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and transactions are properly recorded and reported.  However, through the same design and evaluation period of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any internal control system regardless of how well it is designed and operated.  In such a way, our internal control system can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

          There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly and negatively affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures requiring corrective actions.

ITEM 16.A:

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

          We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on the Directors’ Committee, which performs the functions of an audit committee.  Under Chilean law, the Company is not required to have an audit committee financial expert (within the meaning of the regulations adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) serving on its audit committee.  However, pursuant to Chilean regulations, we have a directors’ committee with duties and responsibilities that are similar to those of an audit committee.  See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees.”  The board of directors believes that the Directors’ Committee has the necessary financial expertise and experience to perform its functions.

ITEM 16.B:

CODE OF ETHICS

          As of June 2004, the Company has disclosed its code of ethics to reflect SEC rules and other proposed regulations that were adopted by our board of directors, officers and employees. All of our officers and employees accepted the provisions of the code of ethics, which governs the actions of everyone who works for the Company, including the employees of our subsidiaries. Our code of ethics deals primarily with the following issues:

 

Duties of managers and personnel;

 

Conflict of interests;

75


 

Use of property and information;

 

Privileged information;

 

Independence;

 

Communications and certificates,

 

Fair behavior;

 

Compliance with environment, health and safety laws and regulations.

          A copy of our code of ethics is available on our website (www.conchaytoro.com).

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

In our case, our Directors’ Committee approves all audit, audit-related services, tax services and other services provided by Deloitte & Touche Sociedad de Auditores y Consultores Ltda.  Any services to be provided by independent auditors that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be pre-approved by the Directors’ Committee prior to any engagement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
     Viña Concha y Toro S.A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The application of the latter would have affected the determination of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the determination of net income for the years then ended, to the extent summarized in Note 37.

Our audit also comprehended the translation of constant Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2.x). Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 2004 Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and subsidiaries adopted Technical Bulletin No. 72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, which prescribes the accounting treatment for business combinations.

VIÑA CONCHA Y TORO S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004 and US dollars

In September, 2004, the subsidiaries Inversiones Concha y Toro S.A. and Sociedad Exportadora y Comercial Oneworldwines Ltda. acquired 25% of the shares of Villa Alegre A.S. in exchange for ThCh$56,000 in cash, with which Viña Concha y Toro S.A. became the indirect controller of 100% of this company.  The purchase of this 25% generated negative goodwill of ThCh$6,735 which was recognized in income immediately.

c)

Translation of foreign currency financial statements

Financial statements of consolidated foreign subsidiaries have been converted into Chilean pesos in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 64, “Accounting for Investments Abroad” (“BT 64”), of the Chilean Association of Accountants, as follows:

Financial statements of foreign operations with the Chilean peso as the functional currency are those whose activities are considered an extension of the Chilean operations, and are remeasurement as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate.

Non-monetary items, primarily property, plant and equipment and shareholders’ equity, are measured using historical exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions adjusted by changes in the Chilean CPI during the year.

The statement of operations is translated into Chilean pesos at the average exchange rate of the month in which the transactions occur, except for those expenses related to assets and liabilities that have been measured at historical exchange rates.

Exchange differences resulting from the above translation are recorded in the statement of operations.

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries whose activities do not constitute an extension of the Chilean operations, or which operate in countries that are exposed to significant risks, restrictions or inflation/exchange fluctuations, are measured using the US dollar as the functional currency and then translated into Chilean pesos at the year end exchange rate. Measurement into US dollars is performed as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates of exchange between the US dollar and the local currency.

All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders’ equity are translated at historical rates of exchange between the US dollar and the local currency.

Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate of the month in which the transactions occur, except for those expenses related to assets and liabilities that have been measured at historical exchange rates.

Any exchange differences are included in the results of operations for the period.

On the Parent Company’s books, price-level restatements based on Chilean inflation are applied to the beginning balance of the investment account and then the participation in the net income of the subsidiary (determined as described above) is recorded. The Parent Company then compares this value to its participation in the equity of the investee as measured in US dollars and translated into Chilean pesos. The difference is recorded as an adjustment to the investment account with a corresponding adjustment to the foreign currency translation account in shareholders’ equity.

d)

Price-level restatement

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of general price-level accounting in order to reflect the effect of changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso during each year. At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated financial statements are stated in terms of the general purchasing power of the Chilean peso using changes in the Chilean consumer price index (CPI) as follows:

Non-monetary assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity accounts are restated in terms of year-end purchasing power.

VIÑA CONCHA Y TORO S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004 and US dollars

Monetary items are not restated as such items are, by their nature, stated in terms of current purchasing power in the financial statements.

The price-level restatement credit or charge in the income statement represents the monetary gain or loss in purchasing power from holding monetary assets and liabilities exposed to the effects of inflation.

All the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated in constant Chilean pesos of general purchasing power of December 31, 2004 (“constant pesos”) applied under the “prior month rule”, as described below, to reflect changes in the CPI from the financial statement dates to December 31, 2004. This updating does not change the prior years’ statements or information in any way except to update the amounts to constant pesos of similar purchasing power.

The general price-level restatements are calculated using the official consumer price index of the Chilean Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (National Statistics Institute) and are based on the prior month rule, in which the inflation adjustments are based on the consumer price index at the close of the month preceding the close of the respective period or transaction. The CPI index is considered by the business community, the accounting profession and the Chilean government to be the index which most closely complies with the technical requirement to reflect the variation in the general level of prices in the country and, consequently, is widely used for financial reporting purposes in Chile.

The values of the Chilean CPI used for price-level restatement purposes are as follows:

Convenience translation to U.S. dollars

 

 

 

The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in Chilean pesos.  The United States dollar amounts disclosed in the accompanying financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the reader at the December 31, 2004 closing exchange Ch$557.40 per US$1.  This translation should not be construed as a representation that the Chilean peso amounts actually represent or have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at this or any other rate.

Note 3 - Changes in Accounting Principles

Effective on January 1, 2004 the Company adopted Technical Bulletin No. 72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants which modified the rules of accounting for business combinations and equity-method investees.  Prior to January 1, 2004, investments in other companies in which the Company owned from 10% to 50% of common stock on a consolidated basis were recorded under the equity method of accounting.  As of the adoption date, the Technical Bulletin changed the accounting treatment for investments in which an entity owns more than 10% and less than 20% of common stock.  Investments that meet these criteria are accounted for at acquisition cost, restated for price-level changes or foreign currency and are no longer recorded under the equity method of accounting.   The new cost basis of the investments in these companies at January 1, 2004 was determined at their December 31, 2003 book values equal to their equity method value including the unamortized goodwill balance.  Furthermore, business combinations executed after the date of adoption are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting., recognizing the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill.  All goodwill (whether recorded prior to or upon adoption of Technical Bulletin No. 72) continues to be amortized and is tested for impairment when a change in circumstances indicates that it may not be recoverable.  The adoption of Technical Bulletin No. 72 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Note 4 – Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

There were no marketable securities as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.  The Company holds certain equity securities which have been classified as long-term investments; see Note 12.

Note 11 - Investments in Related Companies

Significant Events

1)

Investments in related companies and the related direct participation in their equity, as well as the recognition of unrealized gains and losses for purchases and sales between related companies at the end of the respective periods are detailed in an attached chart.

 

 

2)

Valuation of investments in Argentina

 

 

a)

The financial statements of the Argentine subsidiaries, Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A. and Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A., in which Viña Concha y Toro has indirect ownership interest of 100%, have been translated in conformity with the method indicated in Technical Bulletin No. 64 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, which requires that the control of investments in unstable economies be maintained in historical US dollars.

 

 

b)

As the consolidated foreign subsidiaries have accumulated deficits, there are no current dividends receivable from subsidiaries abroad.

 

 

c)

During the period from January to December 2004, a loan instrument due to certain banks and financial institutions was designated as a hedge for the investment it has in Argentine companies Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos and Distribuidora Peumo, which amounts to US$8,959,514.  This liability generated a credit to the account Translation adjustment reserve for 2004 of ThCh$452,468.

 

 

3)

The investment in Viña Almaviva S.A. is presented net of a 50% reduction in the investment balance due to an unrealized gain generated by the sale of a plot of land in 2001 by Concha y Toro S.A. to Almaviva S.A., an equity-method investee which is 50% owned.  The amount of the reduction is ThCh$519,094.  This unrealized gain will be recognized only upon sale of the plot of land to a third party.

 

 

4)

During the period from January to December 31, 2004, the Company received a dividend from Industria Corchera S.A. for an amount of ThCh$82,454 (dividend of ThCh$69,655 as of December 31, 2003).

Interim dividends are recorded in the “interim dividends” column of the stockholders’ equity note when they are provisionally declared by the Board of Directors during any given fiscal year.  They are recorded as a debit in the interim dividend column of the stockholders’ equity note in the line item “Net income for the year”.  The offsetting credit is against dividends payable as a liability.  These provisional interim dividends are approved formally by the annual Shareholders’ Meeting in April of the subsequent year.  The final dividends, of which the interim dividends are a portion, may differ from the provisionally declared interim dividends.  Once the final dividend is approved and paid to shareholders, a credit is recorded for the amount of interim dividends preliminarily approved in the prior year in the “interim dividends” column of the stockholders’ equity note and the final declared dividend is shown as a reduction in the retained earnings column (the credit you are requesting explanation for above). This treatment is mandated by Circular 1501 of the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance.

There are no restrictions on the payment of dividends out of the retained earnings of the Company.

Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004 and US dollars

Note 29 - Contingencies and Restrictions

a)

Wine contracts: The Company enters into long-term agreements for the acquisition of grapes and wine, which expire on various dates through 2013.

 

 

b)

On December 15, 2000, the decrees Nos. 3,692, 3,693 and 3,694 issued by the Ministry of Public Works dated August 28, 2000 were published in the Official Gazette, which entitled the government to expropriate lots 481, the property of Viña Concha y Toro and, 480- A and 480-B the property of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and Viña Tocornal Ltda. (currently - Viña Cono Sur S.A.). The total indemnity established amounted to ThCh$2,080,314 (historical amount).

 

 

 

During 2001 and 2002, Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and Viña Cono Sur S.A. received the full amount of indemnities related to the expropriations of the above-mentioned lots.  The gain on the expropriation was reflected as other non-operating income within non-operating results.

 

 

 

On July 9, 2001, the Company and its subsidiary, Viña Cono Sur S.A. filed a claim on the Second Civil Court of San Miguel against the Chilean State related to the amount of the indemnity granted for the expropriation of the three above-mentioned lots. To date, resolution of the claim of July 9, 2001, is still pending.

 

 

c)

On March 1, 2000, the Ministry of Public Works published in the Official Gazette Decree No. 3,918 dated December 29, 1999 an entitlement to the expropriation of an additional lot, lot 11 No. 231-17, located in Chimbarongo owned by Viña Cono Sur S.A.

 

 

 

The amount of the compensation for the expropriation was set at Ch$100,969,400 (historical amount).  The Company has petitioned for an additional Ch$77,886,321 (historical amount) in a lawsuit being heard at the Third Court of Rancagua under case file 35.194.  Judgment is pending.

 

 

d)

The Company has filed and will probably continue to participate in lawsuits as plaintiff  in certain legal proceedings through which the Company seeks to receive the amounts due to it, requested for a nominal total of approximately ThCh$350,000.  The Company has made provisions to reserve against the related receivables based on its allowance for doubtful accounts policy disclosed in Note 2. ,

 

 

e)

At December 31, 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries were involved in legal proceedings against them which are related to their normal business activities.  In the Company´s legal advisor´s opinion and management’s opinion, as of December 31, 2004, there are no lawsuits or possible lawsuits, legal or non-legal matters, tax issues or any liens which may materially affect the financial statements of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and its subsidiaries.

Note 37 - Differences between Chilean and United States generally accepted accounting principles

Chilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such differences involve certain methods for measuring the amounts shown on the face of the financial statements, as well as additional disclosures.

1.

Differences in measurement methods

 

 

The principal methods applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements that have resulted in amounts that differ from those that would have otherwise been determined under U.S. GAAP are as follows:

 

 

a)

Inflation accounting

 

 

 

Under Chilean GAAP, financial statements are restated to reflect the full effects of the gain (loss) in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso on the financial position and results of operations of reporting entities.  The method is based on a model that enables calculation of net inflation gains or losses caused by monetary assets and liabilities exposed to changes in the purchasing power of local currency, by restating all non-monetary accounts in the financial statements.  The model prescribes that the historical cost of such accounts be restated for general price-level changes between the date of origin of each item and year-end. The price-level restatement adjustments under Chilean GAAP are not reversed in the U.S. GAAP reconciliation as allowed under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

 

 

b)

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

 

 

As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combinations”, (“SFAS 141”), all business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001 are accounted for under the purchase accounting method, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities on the basis of fair market value.  Any business combination prior to this date was accounted for under Accounting Principles Board No. 16, “Business Combinations”.  Any excess of the cost of the investment over such fair value is treated as goodwill. Under Chilean GAAP, for investments made prior to January 1, 2004, goodwill was recorded based on the difference between the investment purchase price and the book value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  As of January 1, 2004, Technical Bulletin No. 72 was adopted for Chilean GAAP purposes.  Technical Bulletin No.  72 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recorded at fair value and that any excess of cost over such fair value be recorded as goodwill. Goodwill continues to be amortized under Technical Bulletin No. 72.  Business combinations entered into by the Company have not produced significant differences in the recorded assets and liabilities in the accounting records of the acquirees between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

 

 

 

As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 applies to all goodwill and identified intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Under the new standard, beginning January 1, 2002, all goodwill, including that acquired before initial application of the standard, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but must be tested for impairment annually or when circumstances change.

 

 

 

The Company performed the annual impairment tests of goodwill required by the standard, and the tests did not result in any impairment.  The effects of reversing goodwill amortization from January 1, 2002 are included in the reconciliation in m).

 

 

 

For Chilean GAAP purposes, all intangible assets are assigned a useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.  Under U.S: GAAP, with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized.  The Company has determined that intangible assets pertaining to telephone line rights and water rights have indefinite lives for U.S. GAAP purposes.  As the amortization expense for all years presented is not significant, no reversal is presented in paragraph m

VIÑA CONCHA Y TORO S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004 and US dollars

c)

Investment in Debt and Equity Securities

 

 

 

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile, marketable securities are stated at the lower of price-level restated cost or market value. Gains are recorded only when realized. The investments which the Company holds are stated at price-level restated cost at December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004.  For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company’s portfolio of marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”).  Consequently, any adjustment to market value has been recorded as a separate component of equity in  Other Comprehensive Income.  No other-than-temporary impairments were recorded for these available-for-sale marketable securities for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, or 2004.  The required disclosures for investments classified as available-for-sale in accordance with SFAS 115 is shown in paragraph 2 c).  The effect of this difference is included in the reconciliation of shareholders’ equity in paragraph 1 k) below.

 

 

d)

Revaluation of fixed assets

 

 

 

As mentioned in Note 10 d), certain fixed assets are reported in the financial statements at amounts determined in accordance with technical appraisals. The revaluation of fixed assets is an accounting principle that is not generally accepted in the United States. The effects of the reversal of this revaluation on property, plant and equipment, the related accumulated depreciation, the depreciation charge for each year and the income impact on the sale/disposal of these assets is shown under paragraph l m) below.

 

 

e)

Inventories

 

 

 

Until 1999, under Chilean GAAP, the valuation of wine inventories includes overhead costs only through the completion of the fermentation process.  U.S. GAAP requires that the cost of finished goods include direct and indirect costs related to the bottling process, as well as indirect costs related to the aging process.  For U.S. GAAP purposes these indirect costs have been included in the cost of inventories for periods prior to December 31, 1999.  Beginning January 1, 2000, the Company changed its accounting policy for inventories to include indirect costs that had not been considered previously, thus eliminating U.S. and Chilean GAAP differences for items produced from that date.

 

 

 

The adjustment included in paragraph 1 k) below represents items remaining in inventory as of December 31, 2002  that were produced in prior years, consisting primarily of premium wines.

 

 

f)

Capitalized interest

 

 

 

Under Chilean GAAP, all interest on debt specifically associated with a construction project must be capitalized.  Capitalization of interest on other debt not specifically associated with  construction projects is optional. Such capitalized interest includes foreign-exchange gains/losses, if applicable,  on borrowings.  Interest is capitalized based on the Company’s weighted average interest rate on long-term debt, or if applicable, the interest rate related to specific borrowings. Interest capitalization ends when the property or equipment is ready for service or its intended use, at which point depreciation on the asset begins.

 

 

 

Under U.S. GAAP, capitalization of interest on qualifying assets under construction is required, and corresponds to the amount of interest which could have been avoided had the construction projects not been entered into.  Amounts capitalized under Chilean GAAP related to foreign currency exchange gains and losses and the related monetary gain on foreign currency borrowings for construction costs must be reversed.

 

 

 

Beginning in 1994, the Company began to capitalize interest for Chilean GAAP purposes relative to qualifying assets (consisting principally of storage and aging containers and vineyards, which require 3 to 5 years to be ready for production) during the period that such assets are being constructed or prepared for productive use and in conformity with US GAAP treatment.  Subsequently, the amount of interest capitalized each year has been the same for both U.S. and Chilean GAAP purposes.  The adjustment included in paragraph 1 k) below corresponds to the amount of capitalized interest for U.S. GAAP purposes prior to 1994 and its associated amortization under the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

g)

Deferred income taxes

 

 

 

Prior to December 31, 1999, deferred taxes were not recognized for Chilean GAAP. Starting January 1, 2000, the Company recorded income taxes in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, recognizing through the liability method, the deferred tax effects of temporary differences between the financial and tax values of assets and liabilities. As a transitional provision, a contra (referred to as “complementary”) asset and liability was recorded offsetting the effects of the deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded prior to January 1, 2000. Such complementary asset and liability is being amortized to income over the estimated reversal periods corresponding to the underlying temporary differences to which the deferred tax asset or liability relates. For U.S. GAAP purposes, deferred taxes were recognized on a comprehensive basis for all periods presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Therefore, the principal difference between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP related to deferred taxes is the reversal of the amortization of the complementary deferred tax asset and liability accounts recorded under Chilean GAAP.

 

 

 

Additionally, the Company has recognized the deferred tax effect related to other U.S. GAAP adjustments that give rise to temporary differences. The effect of accounting for deferred taxes under U.S. GAAP is included in the reconciliation of consolidated net income and shareholder’s equity in paragraph 1 k) below.

 

 

h)

Comprehensive income

 

 

 

The Company presents comprehensive income and its components with the objective of reporting a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive income is the total net income from other non-owner equity transactions that result in changes in equity.

i)

Derivatives

 

 

 

 

Under Chilean GAAP, derivatives are accounted for in accordance with Technical Bulletin 57, “Accounting for Derivative Contracts” (“TB 57”). Under TB 57, all derivative financial instruments should be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. In addition, TB 57 requires that derivative financial instruments be classified as Non-hedging (investment) instruments and Hedging instruments, the latter further divided into those covering existing transactions and those covering anticipated transactions.

 

 

 

 

Contracts to cover existing transactions hedge against the risk of a change in the fair value of a hedged item. The differences resulting from the changes in the fair value of both the hedged item and the derivative instrument should be accounted for as follows:

 

 

 

 

a.

If the net effect is a loss, it should be recognized in earnings in the period of change.

 

b.

If the net effect is a gain, it should be recognized when the contract is closed and accordingly deferred on the balance sheet.

 

c.

If the net effect is a gain and net losses were recorded on the transaction in prior years, a gain should be recognized in earnings in the current period up to the amount of net losses recorded previously.

 

d.

If the effect is a net loss and net gains were recorded (as a deferred revenue) on the transaction in prior years, the gain should be utilized to offset the net loss before recording the remaining loss in the results of operations for the year.

 

 

 

 

The unrealized gains or losses on a “hedge” of a forecasted transaction (documented as required under Technical Bulletin 57) are deferred and recognized upon contract maturity/termination.

 

 

 

 

Current Chilean accounting rules do not consider the existence of derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and therefore they are not reflected in the financial statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2004 and US dollars

 

Under US GAAP, beginning January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and other complementary rules and amendments, which established comprehensive accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. The Standard required that all derivative instruments be recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. However, the accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge. The standards also require formal documentation procedures for hedging relationships and effectiveness testing when hedge accounting is to be applied. If the derivative instrument does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are reported in earnings when they occur. If the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge, the accounting treatment varies based on the type of risk being hedged.

 

 

 

For the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, the Company had no embedded derivative instruments as defined under US GAAP which required bifurcation. No further derivative adjustments were posted in the US GAAP reconciliation due to their insignificant amounts.

 

 

j)

Dividends

 

 

 

The company has a legal obligation to declare and pay dividends equal to at least 30% of consolidated net income as determined in accordance with Chilean GAAP.  Accordingly, an adjustment was made in the accompanying U.S. GAAP stockholders’ equity reconciliation in paragraph 1 k) to recognize as dividends the difference between the dividends recorded as provisional dividends under Chile GAAP and the minimum dividend requirement.

Additional disclosure requirements

 

 

 

 

The following disclosures of information are not generally required for presentation in the financial statements under Chilean accounting principles, but are required or recommended under U.S. GAAP.

 

 

 

 

a)

Nature of Operations and Concentrations

 

 

 

 

 

Viña Concha y Toro S.A. is a vertically integrated company engaged principally in the production and sale of wine The Company’s wines are sold in 95 countries. Foreign operations’ sales represented 75.7% of total sales and domestic sales represented 24.3%. Foreign operations’ sales are denominated in foreign currencies.

 

 

 

 

b)

Earnings per share

 

 

 

 

 

The following disclosure of net income per share information is not generally required for presentation in the financial statements under Chilean GAAP but is required under U.S. GAAP. Earnings per share are determined by dividing consolidated net income by the weighted average number of total shares outstanding.

(1)

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company has not issued convertible debt or equity securities. Consequently, there are no potentially dilutive effects on the earnings of the Company.


 

c)

Fair value disclosures

 

 

 

 

For purposes of SFAS No. 107, the estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

 

 

 

 

There are certain limitations inherent in the fair value data since while the data represents management’s best estimates, the data is subjective, involving significant estimates regarding current economic and market conditions. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values are as follows:

 

 

 

 

For cash, short-term deposits and marketable securities, and current receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.  For interest bearing liabilities, 90% of which is contracted at fixed rates, the book value is considered to be equivalent to their fair value.

 

 

 

 

The fair market values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, and notes and loans payable approximate the values at which these accounts are presented in the financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and 2004.

New accounting pronouncements

 

 

 

 

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”). SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage), and requires that these costs be recognized as current period charges. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which requires the recognition of compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value.  This standard amends and clarifies the accounting for stock compensation plans under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS No. 153”). SFAS No. 153 is effective for interim periods beginning July 1, 2005. Under SFAS No. 153, assets exchanged in non-monetary transactions will be measured at fair value, as long as the transaction has commercial substance and the fair value is determinable within reasonable limits. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In March 2005 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.”  Interpretation 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  Interpretation 47 requires entities to record such obligations, and also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.  Interpretation 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005, for calendar-year enterprises).  The Company adopted SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003, and currently does not expect that the adoption of Interpretation 47 will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

 

 

 

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.

 

 

 

 

 

Statement 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.
