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 38  to the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 (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, 2005 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 38 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,” 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 20 (1 ADS = 20 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, 2005, which was Ch$512.50 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, 2006 was Ch$531.11 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 any buying 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 the 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 2005, the Company’s export sales to third parties and sales of its foreign subsidiaries represented 73.8% 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.

5


          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.”

          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 23.4% of the Company’s total export revenues in 2005, and 22.3% of total export revenues in 2004.  Sales to the Company’s five largest distributors, including Banfi, represented 44.3% and 44.1% of total export revenues in 2005 and 2004, respectively, and are expected to continue to represent a substantial majority of the Company’s total export revenues in the future.  The Company has written agreements with most of its distributors – usually 2 to 3 year terms, automatically renewable.  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 72.3% and 60.3% of the Company’s domestic sales by volume and value, respectively, in 2005 and 75.5% and 61.9%, respectively, in 2004.  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.”

6


          The Company currently relies on approximately 600 outside vineyards for supplies of grapes and approximately 50 producers for bulk wine.  In 2005 and 2004, approximately 75%, of the grapes used in the production of its premium, varietal, bi-varietal and sparkling wines were purchased by the Company from independent growers in Chile.  Additionally, in 2005, 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 2005, the Company had long-term contracts with up to approximately 9.2% of its growers.

          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.

          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

7


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 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 2005, 93% of the Company’s assets were located in Chile.  In 2005 and 2004, sales in the Chilean market accounted for approximately 26.2% and 24.3%, 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 2004 and 2005 were:

 

GDP grew 6.2% in 2004 and 6.3% in 2005.

 

 

 

 

Private consumption grew 6.1% in 2004 and 8.2% in 2005.

 

 

 

 

The unemployment rate was 7.8% and 6.9% in December 2004 and 2005, respectively. As of April 2006, the unemployment rate was 8.3% compared to 8.2% in April 2005.

 

 

 

 

Levels of investment increased 11.7% in 2004 and 24.7% in 2005.

8


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 82% of Chile’s equity trading volume in 2005, had a market capitalization of approximately US$136 billion as of December 31, 2005, and an average monthly trading of US$1,727 million.  The ten largest companies in terms of market capitalization represented approximately 45.6% of the aggregate market capitalization of the Santiago Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2005.  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 52.2% of all trading volume on the Santiago Stock Exchange in 2005.  During 2005, approximately 17% 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 2005, 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 73.8% 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.”

9


          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 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized Ch$104 million, Ch$284 million and Ch$540 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.”

          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.  However, the Central Bank of Chile relaxed foreign exchange restrictions in year 2002, allowing entities and individuals to purchase, sell, keep and remit abroad foreign currency without restrictions, although the Central Bank of Chile still imposes obligations to file reports of such transactions with it.

          The Central Bank of Chile adopted in 2002 a Foreign Exchange Regulations Compendium (the “Regulations”) published in the Official Gazette on January 23, 2002 and effective as of March 1, 2002. The 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 Regulations.  Under Chilean legislation, a Foreign Investment Contract may not be altered or affected adversely by actions of the Central Bank of Chile.

10


          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.

          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 2005, 2004 and 2003 were 3.6%, 2.5% and 1.0%, 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 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 2005 of 173 million liters and Ch$191,148 million, respectively, representing 95% of  2005 revenues (Ch$201,367 million).

11


          The Company was founded in 1883 by Don Melchor 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 and operates vineyards, located in Chile’s eight principal wine growing regions.  In addition to its properties in Chile, the Company owns 916 hectares of arable land near Mendoza, Argentina.

          In domestic and export markets, the Company’s bottled wines are sold in the premium, varietal, bi-varietal 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, 0.1% 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 Cono Sur and Maipo.  The Company sells popular wines under the brand names Tocornal, Clos de Pirque, Exportacion and Fressco.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — 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 four 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 2005, global sales of Casillero del Diablo totaled 1.7 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”) and Transportes Viconto Ltda. (“Transportes Viconto”).  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 Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Other Businesses.”

12


          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 and Isla Negra 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 981 hectares of land, with 916 hectares corresponding to arable land, cellars with a capacity of 28 million liters and other wine-making equipment. 

          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;

 

 

 

 

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$163,000 million in agriculture, infrastructure and other wine business investments since 1995.  In 2005, the Company made approximately Ch$30,656 million (approximately US$60 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$20,470 million (approximately US$38 million) for 2006 to support expected future growth in sales, and the corresponding increase in demand for grapes and production capacity.  Investments mainly comprise planting 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 bi-varietal segments and that such wines can successfully compete with the best European, Australian, South African and U.S. wines.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — 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.

14


          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.  Rainfall is strongly influenced by the El Niño and La Niña phenomenons.  If El Niño brings rainier and warmer conditions, La Niña brings dry and colder weather.  Springs are usually mild, albeit not completely frost-free; when they do hit, frosts strongly affect the production of grapes.  The 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 eight principal wine-growing regions in Chile.  These regions include, from north to south:  Limarí, Casablanca, Rapel, 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 Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Vineyards.”

          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 semi-arid 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, makes 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.

          Leyda Valley.  One of the most recently created Chilean denominations, this small valley was only defined as a controlled origin in 2002. Leyda stretches to the very edge of the Pacific Ocean and its characteristic lack of significantly high relief allows for the free entry of the strong oceanic influence. The ensuing frequent breezes, fresh temperatures and clayish soils make it a favourite spot for cold-climate white varieties and Pinot Noir.

          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.

15


          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.

          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.

16


          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, bi-varietal 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 bi-varietals).  Popular wines are inexpensive wines which are not aged and are not made from a specific variety of grapes.

          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 has enhanced the image of the Chilean wine industry, providing for better information, quality, and transparency for the consumer.  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 bi-varietal 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 two 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 December 2005, the Company had approximately 7,888 arable hectares (approximately 19,483 acres) on thirty owned and five leased vineyards, located in the Limarí, Casablanca, Leyda, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curicó and Maule Valleys of the Central Zone in Chile and in seven vineyards in the Maipú, Tupungato, Rivadavia, San Carlos, Luján de Cuyo and San Martín regions in Argentina.  As of December 2005 approximately 82.6% of the arable land owned or leased by the Company is planted with wine-producing grapes in various stages of maturity.  Approximately 4,633 hectares (approximately 11,444 acres), or 80% of the Company’s planted hectares in Chile, 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.

17


          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 2002 will be in full production in 2006 and that vines planted in 2003 will be in full production in 2007.

          The table below shows the Company’s currently-producing and newly-planted vineyards by valley as of December 2005:

(1)

The Company’s current producing vineyards have an average age of approximately 12 years.

(2)

These hectares do not include 103.17 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 94.3 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

18


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. 

          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”):

          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 bi-varietal 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 the 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 Bi-varietals.  The production process for red varietal and bi-varietal 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 Bi-varietals.  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 2005 and 2004, approximately 75% of the grapes used in the production of premium, varietal, bi-varietal 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 2005, approximately 25% of the Company’s production of premium, varietal, bi-varietal and sparkling wines were from grapes grown on the Company’s owned and 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, bi-varietal 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 600 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 similar 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 April 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 mainly in ten interest-free installments throughout the year.  In 2005, the Company had long-term contracts with up to approximately 9.2% of its growers.

          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 2005.  The Company’s technical department approves such wine purchases.  Payments are traditionally made in ten interest-free monthly installments.

20


          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 nine vinification plants in Chile which convert grapes into premium, varietal and bi-varietal wines.  The location of these plants, their capacity to vinify red and white grapes and actual production in 2005 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 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 December 2005, the Company’s total storage and fermentation capacity was approximately 231 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 December 2005, the Company had more than 34,000 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 31.6 million liters between

21


2003 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.

          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, bi-varietal 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 122 salespeople, 27 supervisors, and 4 sales managers.  Comercial Peumo also employs a specialized work force of 17 people for its merchandising operations.

          Comercial Peumo serves approximately 15,000 customers throughout Chile, making it the largest wine-oriented distribution company in Chile. The two largest single customers accounted for 10.6% and 10.5% of the Company’s domestic sales in 2005.  No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s domestic sales.

22


          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 450 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 and coolers, in 2003, 2004 and 2005 were approximately 62.6 million liters, 60.1 million liters and 60.9 million liters, respectively, resulting in gross revenues of Ch$33,507 million, Ch$37,556 million and Ch$43,240 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 2005, sales of bulk wine represented 0.05% of total wine sales in the domestic market.  The Company is the largest wine producer in Chile, and according to A.C. Nielsen, in 2005, the Company had the largest share of the domestic market with a 27.1% share in terms of volume and a 25% 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.

          The following tables show the Company’s total domestic wine sales (excluding sales of coolers) in constant Chilean pesos and liters by market segment, for each of the calendar years indicated:

Popular wine prices are per 1,000 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 2005, Tetra Brik sales represented approximately 77% 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 2005, the ratio of popular wine prices to beer prices increased from 1.76 in December 2004 to 1.92 in December 2005, 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 Item 4 — “Information on the Company — 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, bi-varietal, or popular wines.  During 2005, the greatest efforts in advertising were focused on strengthening Clos de Pirque, Fressco and Casillero del Diablo 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$877 million and 418 million liters in 2005, representing an increase of 5.0% in value and a decrease of 10.6% in volume as compared to 2004.

          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 2005 of 22.6% and 24.3% (including bulk) respectively, according to the Exporters’ Association.  The Company’s bottled wine market share by volume and US$ value was 32.1% and 26.9%, respectively, in 2005.  The Company’s closest Chilean competitor in the bottled export segment, in terms of volume and US$ value, reported the equivalent of 32.8% and 30.5% 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 2001 to 2005:

          Europe.  In 2005, sales to Europe increased by 13.7% in value terms to approximately US$109.6 million or 51% by US$ value of Company exports.  In 2005, premium wine sales to Europe represented 51.4% of the Company’s total premium wine sales by US$ value.  The Company’s European markets can be subdivided into three areas:  Germany and non-wine-producing Western Europe, wine-producing Western Europe (except Germany) and Eastern Europe.

          The Company believes that greater market opportunities exist in Germany and the non-wine-producing countries of Western Europe.  For these countries, in 2005, the order of importance by sales for the Company was as follows:  the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Russia.  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 may 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 15% from 2004 to 2005, reaching US$49 million in 2005.  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 Central and Eastern Europe, volume growth was led by Russia and Poland.  The Company foresees an important potential in this region with the exception of important wine producing countries such as Georgia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Moldovia.

27


          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 (supermarkets and wholesale chains).

          United States.  The U.S. market accounted for approximately US$43.7 million in 2005 sales, equal to 20.3% by US$ value of the Company’s exports.  According to the Exporters’ Association, the Company was the leading Chilean exporter to the United States in 2005 and the Company increased its market share in volume from 39.1% in 2004 to 43.1% in 2005, 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, premium and popular 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 (Marqués de Casa Concha); premium (Trio, Casillero del Diablo and Xplorador); and popular premium (for the Company’s varietal wines and bi-varietals, including Sunrise, Frontera and Concha y Toro, among others).

          The Company and its Chilean competitors are increasing their participation in the premium segment and establishing a strong presence in the varietal and bi-varietal 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 bi-varietal segments due to the Company’s competitive price/value relationship.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Export Marketing Strategy.”

          During 2005, bi-varietals in the United States accounted for approximately 66.8% and 82.4% of the Company’s sales by US$ value and volume, respectively; varietals, 6.9% and 6.4%, respectively; and premium wines, 26.3% and 11.2%, respectively.  During 2005, sales in the U.S. market increased 8.1% and 1.7% by US$ value and volume, respectively.  Growth was led by higher sales of Casillero del Diablo.  The Company believes that the premium and varietal segments will continue to offer opportunities for increased sales.  See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — 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 2005 sales to Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean totaled US$20.0 million or 9.3% of the Company’s exports.  The primary markets for the Company’s products in this region are Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic.  The Company has marketed its wines for more than twenty years in most of the countries in this region, and the Company believes it is the largest Chilean exporter of bottled wines in all of these countries.  Sales in US$ value terms increased by 11.4% mainly as a result of stronger sales in the islands of the Caribbean and Costa Rica.

          South America.  In 2005 sales to South America increased by 7.9% in US$ value terms to approximately US$17.4 million or 8.1% of the Company’s total exports by US$ value.  The Company’s primary markets by sales revenue were Brazil, Venezuela and  Ecuador.  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.

28


          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 2005, premium wine sales represented 44.3% 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 2005, the Company’s sales to Canada increased 11% to approximately US$11 million or 5.1% by US$ value of the Company’s exports.  Canada is the third largest national export market and the sixth 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.

          Asia.  The Asian market accounted for approximately US$12.2 million in 2005, equal to 5.7% by US$ value of the Company’s exports.  In value and volume terms, in 2005 bottled sales to Asia increased 16.6% and 21.6%, respectively, 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 62% of total volume to the region.  Sales to Japan during 2005 totaled US$7.7 million representing a 7.8% increase over the 2004 sales.

          Sales to the Asian countries (excluding Japan) totaled US$4.5 million, representing a 35.6% increase over 2004 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 2005 sales to other countries totaled US$1.1 million or 0.5% by US$ value of the Company’s exports. Within “other” sales, the Company aggregates mainly countries in Africa.

          Bulk Wine Exports.  In 2005, the Company sold US$0.3 million of bulk wine overseas, primarily to the United Kingdom, representing 0.1% of its exports by US$ 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 and third 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 2005, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Denmark, the Company’s five largest national export markets, accounted for 56.3% of the Company’s exports by US$ value.  The

29


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.  The Company has written agreements with most of its 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 2005, purchasing approximately 2.5 million cases of wine which represented 24.1% and 23.4% of the Company’s export sales by volume 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 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.

          Between 1994 to May 14, 2006, the Company had 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.  As of May 15, 2006 the distribution and marketing of Cono Sur and Isla Negra brands in the United Kingdom were undertaken by the UK subsidiary, Concha y Toro UK.

          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 specialty 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 12.1% and 14.1% of the Company’s export sales by volume and US$ value, respectively, in 2005.  In Canada, the Company operates with agents that work on a commission basis and are responsible for promotion and public relations. In Scandinavia, the Company sells to its importer, who then resells to the Monopoly.

          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).

30


          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, African, Eastern European and Middle Eastern 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 Item 4 — “Information on the Company — 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 2003 to 2005 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.  In 1996, the Company invested in Argentina and founded Trivento winery.  The Argentine business comprises exports and domestic sales; as of 2005, both areas of business, exports and the distribution in Argentina, are handled by Trivento. In 2005 Trivento export volume totaled 1,238,000 cases with returns of US$19.3 million representing an increase of 59% and 61% by volume and value respectively.  Trivento grew across all regional markets, with a strong performance in European countries.  Trivento consolidated its position as the second exporter of Argentine wines by volume.

          Sales in the local Argentine market summed 548,200 cases with total revenue of US$ 9.3 million, representing a decrease of 27% in volume and 16% by value.  Lower domestic sales mainly reflect the impact of price increases on the volumes sold, following the Company’s strategy of focusing on improving profitability.

          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 2005, Viña Almaviva had revenues of Ch$2,238 million, 3.2% lower as compared to Ch$2,313 million in 2004.  Sales volume increased 9.7% as compared to 2004, however a lower exchange rate offset this result.

31


Almaviva’s main markets are France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland and the United States.  In 2005, the Company recognized income from Viña Almaviva of Ch$167.2 million from its equity investment.

          Industria Corchera.  In November 2000, the Company acquired 49.6% of Industria Corchera.  In 2002 its share increased to 49.84%.  In 2005, Industria Corchera’s total sales amounted to Ch$11,076 million, representing a 12.4% decrease compared to 2004. The Company in 2005 recognized income from Industria for Ch$252.9 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.

32


          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.

Property, Plant and 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 11,830 hectares and leases 605 hectares of land throughout Chile, and owns 981 hectares of land in Argentina.  Of these, approximately 7,991 hectares are suitable for planting vineyards.  A majority of the remaining 5,424 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.

          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 94 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.

33


          Comercial Peumo leases warehouses in Iquique, Antofagasta and Los Angeles for distribution.  The Company leases six 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 Item 4 — “Information on the Company — 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 six of its plants:  Lontué, Chimbarongo, Santa Elisa, Lourdes, Las Mercedes and Puente Alto.

ITEM 4A:

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

          Concha y Toro is not an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, nor is it a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.  In addition, as of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Company does not have any unresolved comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission staff regarding its periodical reports under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 5:

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

          This section provides an assessment by management of the most significant trends and changes in the Company’s 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 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 2005, 73.8% of the sales revenues were denominated in foreign currency.

          In 2005, the Chilean wine industry and Concha y Toro faced important challenges.  The most significant one was the unfavorable exchange rate, impacting severely an industry that exports around 60% of its production.  In addition, results were also impacted by a higher wine cost as a result of increases in the price of grapes in the 2005 harvest.

          Concha y Toro financial results, sales, operating income and net income for the year 2005 reflect these impacts.  However, despite the more adverse scenario, the Company’s principal businesses:  exports, domestic market and the subsidiaries, show growth and the strength of the brand in a highly-competitive market.

34


          In 2005, Concha y Toro had a net income of Ch$19,039 million, representing a 19% decrease from 2004. Consolidated sales for the year increased 3.1%.  Sales revenues totaled Ch$201,367 million, 26.2% of which were generated in Chile, 65.7% from exports and 8.1% 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.

Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to year ended December 31, 2004
Figures expressed in Chilean pesos (Ch$) as of December 31, 2005

          Revenues.  Total revenues increased 3.1% to Ch$201,367 million from Ch$195,309 million in 2004.  Revenues increased following stronger sales in the Chilean domestic market, higher sales from Concha y Toro UK and an increase in exports from Argentina.  Exports from Chile to third parties decreased as a result of the strong appreciation of the Chilean peso against the US dollar and euro.  Chilean peso appreciation against the US dollar was approximately 11.0% year-over-year.

          Domestic Revenues.  Sales in Chile increased 11.6% in 2005 to Ch$52,847 million from Ch$47,342 million in 2004.  Domestic revenues comprise local wine sales, which accounted for 81.9% of the revenues, and other revenues — principally fees for bottling services, sales of fruit, liquors and coolers.  Wine sales increased by 14.8% and other income decreased 0.9% mainly due to lower fees from bottling services to third parties.

          Domestic wine sales increased 14.8% to Ch$43,261 million in 2005 from Ch$37,668 million in 2004.  Stronger sales were the result of a 1.5% increase in bottled volume and a 13.5% increase in the average price. Higher volume reflects a 1.5% increase in popular wines and a 14.7% rise in premium wines driven by larger sales of Casillero del Diablo and Trio. The 13.5% higher average price is the result of price increases mainly in the popular wine category following a higher wine cost in 2005 and a strategy that sought to increase the profitability of the business.

          Export Revenues.  Sales abroad decreased by 0.4% to Ch$132,281 million in 2005 from Ch$132,866 million in 2004.  This decrease resulted from the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, the Euro and the Sterling Pound in approximately 11.0%, 10% and 14.7%, respectively, in 2005 (average relevant exchange rates for the Company).  The exchange effect offset the sales increase in U.S. dollars of  12.4%, consisting of a 10% increase in volume and a 2.4% increase in prices in U.S. dollars.

36


          During 2005 the Company continued consolidating its brand positioning and opening new business in key markets. Sales abroad by  volume grew by  10% and were achieved with diversified growth in most of the geographic areas to which the Company exports. By volume sales in Europe, the principal market region, rose 18% as a result of the good momentum the Company is maintaining in the UK and in the rest of Europe.  Shipments to Asia increased 21.6%. Central America/Caribbean grew 12.8% led by good performances in Mexico and Costa Rica among others. Volumes grew by 5.7% in South America. The volume shipped to the U.S. increased 1.7%.

          The 2.4% increase in the average price in U.S. dollars mainly reflects an improvement in the mix. The average price in Chilean pesos decreased by 9.3% as a result of the exchange rate effect.  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 — Business Overview — Company sales — Export markets and note 38 k) to the Financial Statements.”

          Argentine Operations.  Total sales by the Company’s Argentine businesses increased 7.5% to Ch$16,239 million following a 37.4% increase in exports, partially compensated by a 26.3% decrease in domestic sales.

          Export revenue growth is mainly explained by the increase in volume. Trivento’s exports of wine by volume increased 59% reaching 1,238,000 cases. Trivento grew across all regional markets with a strong performance in European countries. Trivento consolidated its position as the second exporter of Argentine wines by volume in 2005.  This result was partially compensated as the average price in Chilean pesos decreased 10.9%, with this decrease reflecting the impact of the exchange rate appreciation. Trivento exports in US dollars increased 61% by value to US$19.3 million, with the average price stated in US$ rising 1.4%.

          The 26.3% decrease in domestic sales mainly reflect a 27% decline in volumes sold and a 1% increase in the average price in Chilean pesos.  The Company’s strategy has focused on improving profitability.  In 2005, the average price, in Argentine peso terms, increased by 14% (1% in Chilean pesos) as compared to 2004. The higher average price had an impact on volumes, with these declining by 27% to 548,200 cases.

          Cost of Sales.  Total cost of sales increased by 10.1% to Ch$131,373 million in 2005 from Ch$119,361 million for fiscal 2004.  The cost of sales as a percentage of total sales increased to 65.2% from 61.1%, mainly reflecting the impact of the exchange rate on sales and a higher average cost of wine in 2005 as a result of increased grape prices for the 2005 vintage.

          Cost of sales increased by Ch$12,012 million as a result of: a) an increase in volumes sold representing 66.5% of the increase or Ch$7,994 million; b) an increase in the cost of raw materials, mainly a higher wine cost representing 25.2% of the increase or Ch$3,024 million (wine cost for the period increased 21% as a result of the higher cost of grapes in the 2005 harvest); and c) an increase in the cost of the Argentine operation representing 8.3% of the increase or Ch$994 million.

          Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased 7.8% to Ch$69,994 million in 2005 from Ch$75,947 million in 2004.  As a percentage of sales, the gross margin decreased to 34.8% from 38.9%, mainly reflecting the impact of the Chilean peso appreciation on foreign currency denominated revenues and the higher wine cost mentioned above.

          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$630 million, or 1.4% year over year, to Ch$45,085 million in 2005 from Ch$44,455 million in 2004.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to 22.4% from 22.8% recorded in 2004, reflecting a slightly lower rate of SG&A growth in Chile compared to sales and a decrease in expenses in the Argentine subsidiary.

          Chilean business derived SG&A increased by Ch$921 million.  Higher remunerations and higher marketing expenses mainly explain this increase as the company continues to support growth across all business areas,  including stronger marketing expenses at Concha y Toro UK to develop sales in its highly competitive market.

37


          SG&A for the Argentine business decreased by Ch$291 million, mainly reflecting a decrease in marketing expenses and other selling and administrative expenses with larger export volumes.

          Operating Income.  Operating income decreased 20.9% to Ch$24,909 million compared to Ch$31,492 million in 2004. The operating margin decreased from 16.1% to 12.4% following the contraction in the gross margin as a result of the strong appreciation of the Chilean peso and its impact on foreign currency revenues and a higher cost of wine for 2005. 

          Non-Operating Income.  Non-operating income increased 343.1% to Ch$3,401 million from Ch$767 million in 2004.  This result is mainly explained by the increase in other non-operating income resulting from a gain of Ch$2,520 million on the sale in advance of forward contracts held by the Company.

          Non-operating Expenses (Excluding Price Level Restatement and Foreign Exchange Differences).  Non-operating expenses increased 148.8% to Ch$5,651 million from Ch$2,271 million. This resulted from (1) an increase in interest expense from Ch$1,777 million to Ch$3,565 million mainly due to an increase in financial debt of Ch$27,317 million to finance the investment program and working capital; and (2) an increase in other non-operating expenses related to extraordinary provisions.

          Price level restatement and Foreign Exchange Differences.  Price level restatement and foreign exchange differences produced a loss of Ch$145 million in 2005 compared to a loss of Ch$1,479 million in 2004. This is mainly due to a gain on foreign exchange differences of Ch$31 million in 2005 compared to a loss of Ch$1,510 million in 2004. For detail on Foreign Exchange Differences, see note 26 of Consolidated Financial Statements.  

          Net Income.  Net income in 2005 of Ch$19,039 million decreased by Ch$4,467 million, 19.0%, as compared to  Ch$23,506 million in 2004.

Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to year ended December 31, 2003
(Figures expressed in Chilean pesos (Ch$) as of December 31, 2005)

          Revenues. Total revenues increased to Ch$195,309 million in 2004 from Ch$163,115 million in 2003 representing a 19.7% 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.

          Domestic Revenues.  Sales in Chile increased 13.8% in 2004 to Ch$47,342 million from Ch$41,587 million in 2003.  Domestic revenues comprise local wine sales, which accounted for 79.6% of the revenues, and other revenues – principally fees for bottling services and the sale of fruit, liquors and coolers.  Wine sales increased by 11.7% and other income increased 23.2% mainly due to higher sales of the cooler category developed by the Company in 2004.

          Domestic wine sales increased 11.7% to Ch$37,668 million in 2004 from Ch$33,732 million in 2003.  Stronger sales were the result of 16.9% increase in the average price of bottled wine, partially offset by a 4.1% decline in volume.  Volume in the popular wine category decreased 3.7%, while volume in the premium wine category increased by 17.6%.  This is largely the fruit of a policy focused on moving high margin labels such as Don Melchor, Casillero del Diablo and Trio.  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$132,866 million in 2004 from Ch$110,913 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 the Company’s brand in that

38


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., Canadian and Asian markets 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 — Business Overview — Company Sales — Export Markets and note 38 k) 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 42.3% to Ch$15,101 million as a result of a 71.1% increase in exports and a 19.5% 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 U.S., the UK and Brazil. Trivento finished in 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 seeking higher profitability, and higher volumes.  Domestic volumes increased 17% totaling 747,206 cases.

          Cost of Sales.  Total cost of sales increased by 19.2% to Ch$119,361 million in 2004 from Ch$100,173 million for fiscal 2003.  The cost of sales of Chile-sourced business increased by Ch$17,463 million, and accounts for most of the Ch$19,188 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$1,725 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%.

          Gross Margin. Gross margin increased to Ch$75,947 million in 2004 from Ch$62,942 million in 2003, an increase of 20.7%.  As a percentage of sales, the gross margin increased to 38.9% from 38.6%, mainly reflecting a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales in 2004.

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).  SG&A increased by Ch$4,942 million, or 12.5% year over year, to Ch$44,455 million in 2004 from Ch$39,514 million in 2003.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to 22.8% from 24.2% recorded in 2003.

          Chilean business derived SG&A increased by Ch$2,865 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$2,077 million.  Marketing expenses linked to larger exports and domestic sales volumes comprise 42% of the rise in SG&A, higher remuneration related to the business growth explains 4%, and 54% of the increase is related to selling and administrative expenses involving distribution and general expenses related to the growth of the Argentine operation.

39


          Operating Income.  Operating income increased by 34.4% to Ch$31,492 million in 2004 from Ch$23,428 million in 2003.  The operating margin increased from 14.4% to 16.1% 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$767 million from Ch$1,433 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$975 million in 2003 to Ch$398 million in 2004 mainly due to decrease in equity participation from Viña Almaviva from Ch$689 million in 2003 to Ch$9.9 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 8.1% to Ch$2,271 million from Ch$2,100 million. This results from higher interest expenses partly offset by lower other non-operating expenses. Interest expenses increased from Ch$939 million in 2003 to Ch$1,777 million in 2004 mainly due to an increase in financial debt to finance the investment program and working capital. Other non-operating expenses decreased by Ch$667 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$1,479 million in 2004 compared to a gain of Ch$554 million in 2003. This is mainly due to a loss on foreign exchange differences of Ch$1,510 million in 2004 compared to a gain of Ch$793 million in 2003. For detail on Foreign Exchange Differences see Note 26 of Consolidated Financial Statements.  

          Net Income.  Net income in 2004 of Ch$23,506 million was 19.1%, more than the Ch$19,734 million obtained in 2003.

          U.S. GAAP Reconciliation.  Net income under U.S. GAAP for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was Ch$20,900 million, Ch$23,735 million and Ch$20,054 million, respectively, whereas the amounts reported under Chilean GAAP were Ch$19,039 million, Ch$23,506 million and Ch$19,734 million, respectively. Differences result mainly from U.S. GAAP adjustments for the reversal of goodwill amortization, the reversal of the depreciation generated by technical revaluation of fixed assets under Chilean GAAP, and the recording of deferred income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109.

          Total shareholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was Ch$167,417 million, Ch$155,844 million and Ch$141,138 million, respectively, and compared to Chilean reported amounts of Ch$170,151 million, Ch$161,653 million and Ch$146,716 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 38 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

B.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Liquidity

          In 2005, the Company’s main source of liquidity was cash generated by financing activities, which amounted to Ch$20,030 million. In 2004 and 2003, the main source of liquidity was cash generated by operating activities of Ch$14,224 and Ch$16,605 million, respectively. In the Company’s opinion, its working capital of Ch$77,237 million as of December 31, 2005 is sufficient for the Company’s present requirements.

          On December 31, 2005, the Company had Ch$1,447 million of cash, time deposits and other cash equivalents and approximately Ch$111,661 million available under undrawn bank lines of credit.

40


          Net cash flows used in 2005, 2004 and 2003 prior to the effect of inflation in cash and cash equivalents was negative Ch$173 million and Ch$637 million and Ch$638 million, respectively. The effect of inflation decreased cash and cash equivalents in Ch$244 million, Ch$83 million and Ch$509 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

          Net cash flows from operating activities were Ch$12,741 million in 2005, Ch$14,223 million in 2004 and Ch$16,605 million in 2003.  Net cash flows originated from financing activities were Ch$20,030 million in 2005,  Ch$10,471 million in 2004 and Ch$1,239 million in 2003.  Net cash flows used in investing activities was Ch$32,943 million in 2005, Ch$25,332 million in 2004 and Ch$18,483 million in 2003.

          There are no material restrictions, either legal or economic, that would limit the ability of subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances.

          The Company’s total assets increased 15.2% from Ch$267,214 million at December 31, 2004 to Ch$307,963 million at December 31, 2005.  The increase in total assets is due to an increase in current assets (inventories) and fixed assets involving the acquisition of new vineyards, construction and infrastructure.

          Current liabilities increased 2.5%, to Ch$69,700 million at December 31, 2005 from Ch$68,032 million at December 31, 2004.  Long-term liabilities increased to Ch$68,102 million at December 31, 2005 from Ch$37,520 million at December 31, 2004, due to an increase in long term debt as a result of a 21-year bond placement. The Company will repay its debt with cash generated by its operating activities. The increase in long term financial debt results from financing the capital expenditure program and working capital in 2005. For a detail of capital expenditures in 2005, see the following section, “Capital Expenditures.”

          On April 26, 2005, Concha y Toro placed a 21-year bond for UF 2 million (as of December 31, 2005 Ch$35,950 million) on the local market at a nominal interest rate of 3.9%.  The amortization of this bond will be done on semi-annual installments beginning October 2009, and interest payments will be done on a semi-annual basis starting April 2005. The proceeds (35%) were used to repay financial debt, mainly at short term, and the remaining (65%) to finance new investments for supporting future growth.   Covenants associated with the issuance of bonds payable are detailed in Note 30 to the Financial Statements – Contingencies and Restrictions. Bond covenants require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. Among them, the Company is required to (1) maintain an indebtedness ratio (the ratio of current and long-term liabilities to shareholders’ equity plus minority interest) no greater than 1.4 times; (2) maintain, at all times, during the life of the present bond issuance, minimum equity of five million UF; and (3) maintain at all times an interest coverage ratio (the ratio of operating income plus depreciation plus operating amortization to interest expenses) of a minimum of 2.5  times.  As of December 31, 2005 the Company complies with all covenants required and has a consolidated indebtedness ratio of 0.81 times, equity of Ch$170,151 million or 9.5 million UF, and the interest coverage ratio is 10.03 times.

          As of December 31, 2005 the Company’s total interest-bearing financial debt amounted to Ch$88,085 million of which, Ch$28,372 million was short term debt and Ch$59,713 million was long term debt with maturities to 2010 for its bank debt and 2026 for the bond debt.  Of total financial debt, approximately 90.5% was fixed-rate debt and 9.5% was variable-rate debt.  The fixed-rate debt of Ch$79,677 million has an average interest rate of 4.6% with maturities through 2026. The Company’s floating-rate debt, which totaled Ch$8,408 million, was denominated in Dollars, Euros, Sterling Pounds and Argentine Pesos.  The Company has not used any type of financial instrument to minimize interest rate risk exposure but is considering hedging as a means to mitigate this risk.

          For further detail on interest bearing debt as of December 31, 2005, see Item 11 — “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

          Capital Expenditures

          Total capital expenditures which include additions to property, plant and equipment and other permanent investments were Ch$30,656 million (US$60 million) in 2005, Ch$23,590 million in 2004 and Ch$16,911 million in 2003.  The increase in capital expenditures in 2005 was 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

41


vinification and cellar capacity in Chile and Argentina. For 2006, the Company established a capital expenditure budget of Ch$20,472 million (approximately US$39 million), oriented to continue with the ongoing investments initiated in 2005, that includes the planting of new land and 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 toward 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 2003-2005 and planned capital investment for 2006.

(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$20 million as of 2007.

          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.

          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 were 73.8 % in 2005, 75.7% in 2004 and 74.5% in 2003. To the extent that U.S. dollar-denominated revenues exceed U.S.

42


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 rates of nominal appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in 2003, 2004 and 2005 were 17.4%, 6.1% and 8.1%, respectively (year-end exchange rates). The Chilean price-level restatement factors for the same periods were 1.0%, 2.5% and 3.6% 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 the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the Company’s 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 the Company considers critical to its 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, the Company considers historical loss experience.  Other factors are also considered, including the wine industry general economic environment.  Historically, bad debt 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 related to export sales.  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 does not have insurance policies for accounts receivables related to sales in the domestic markets of Chile and Argentina. The Company believes that this is a critical accounting policy because of the judgment involved in accruing for possible loss estimates.

43


b)  Income and Deferred Taxes:

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

          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, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions including projections of taxable income.

          Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.

          In order for us to realize our deferred tax assets, we must be able to generate sufficient taxable income in those jurisdictions where the deferred tax assets are located. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such determination.

          The Company believes its tax positions comply with the applicable tax laws and that it is adequately provided for all tax related matters. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in the various jurisdictions in which it files tax returns. Specifically, the Company is routinely under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The current examination includes the years 2001 through 2005. Matters raised upon audit may involve substantial amounts and could result in material cash payments if resolved unfavorably; however, management does not believe that any material payments will be made related to these matters within the next year. Management considers it unlikely that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

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.  The Company records 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 the Company must exercise judgment in projecting market conditions and consumer consumption, the Company believes that the Company’s accounting policy for reserving inventory should be considered critical.

44


d)  Goodwill:

          Goodwill is recorded at cost plus price-level restatements and is amortized on a straight-line basis, over the estimated future periods benefited (not exceeding 20 years). Goodwill is periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes occur that indicate the carrying value of the business, or assets to which they relate, may not be recoverable. As such, events or changes occur, management estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use and, if applicable, the eventual disposition of the assets and related goodwill. The key variables which management must estimate include sales volume, prices and other economic factors. Significant management judgment is involved in estimating these variables, and they include inherent uncertainties; however, the assumptions used are consistent with our internal planning. Therefore, management periodically evaluates and updates the estimates based on the conditions that influence these variables. If the assets are considered impaired, it’s written down to fair value as appropriate. We performed the impairment tests of our goodwill and concluded that no impairment charge was necessary.

e)  Impairment of long-lived assets:

          Property, Plant and Equipment and Amortized Intangibles: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment and amortizes intangibles principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of these assets. Estimates of useful lives are based on the nature of the underlying assets as well as the Company’s experience with similar assets and intended use. Estimates of useful lives can differ from actual useful lives due to the inherent uncertainty in making these estimates. This is particularly true for the Company’s significant long-lived assets such as vineyards, buildings, farming machinery and equipment, tanks and regations sistems. Factors such as the conditions in which the assets are used, availability of capital to replace assets, and frequency of maintenance could influence the useful lives of these assets.

          The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of recoverability is required, the estimated total undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying amount. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is calculated by comparing the carrying value to the discounted expected future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition or comparable market values, depending on the nature of the asset.

C.  Research and Development

          Research and development activities do not involve significant expenses, since, to a large extent, the Company relies on agreements with domestic and foreign firms and institutes for technical assistance and technology transfer. The Company has set up numerous research projects in Chile with local universities including Universidad Católica Chile (Santiago), Universidad de Concepción and Universidad de Talca. Since October 2003, the Company has been part of Conicyt’s Fondef project “Water management technologies for sustainable intensive agriculture.” Led by the 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 the 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 2004 and 2005 all major players in the Chilean wine industry sought a turnaround in domestic profitability focus on better margin products and higher average prices.

45


          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

Individual senior managers compensation disclosure is not required under Chilean law and it is not otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company.

50


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.

          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 (president), 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 2005.  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;

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;

Preliminary audit report for fiscal 2005; and

Designation and hiring services of independent consultants for the Directors Committee;

          An annual budget of Ch$20 million for Committee operations was approved at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.  In 2005, the Committee contracted services of independent consultants costing Ch$8 million.

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

          In accordance with the implementation period for Sarbanes-Oxley, on July 28, 2005 the Company designated from among its members the persons who would comprise the Audit Committee required by Sarbanes-Oxley.  The members of the Audit Committee are: Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres, Christian Skibsted-Hansen Cortés and Rafael Guilisasti Gana, who are the same directors who comprise the Director’s Committee.  Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres and Christian Skibsted-Hansen are independent directors while Rafael Guilisasti is not independent. Mr. Guilisasti is relying on an exemption of the Listing Standards relating to Audit Committees of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. 

51


          We currently do not have a separate remuneration committee, however, the Company’s Directors’ Committee carries out the functions usually performed by this committee.  It also promotes auditor independence by prohibiting auditors from providing certain non-audit services while conducting audits.  The Company’s existing oversight and corporate governance practices fully honor the spirit and requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley reforms in many respects.  For instance, auditor independence has been strengthened with the adoption of an auditor independence policy by the Company.  See Item 16.A. – “Audit Committee Financial Expert.”

          The Company’s Board of Directors is committed to implementing measures that will promote investor confidence and market integrity.  In response to 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 from the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, 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.

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 and of the Audit 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 under Chilean regulations. However, the Company has an Audit Committee as required by Sarbanes Oxley. The Audit Committee has three members. Two are independent and one is relying on the exemption at Rule 10A-3 (b) (1) (iv) (D) to the Listing Standards Relating to Audit Committees of Rule 10A-3.  The Audit Committee 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.

52


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, officers and employees 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.
Pursuant to Chilean labor law, the Company has an Order, Health and Safety Rule of Procedure distributed to each employee and available at Human Resources.  Covered topics include employee work schedules and conduct obligations/prohibitions.

303A.12

 

Each listed company’s CEO must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards.

 

Not contemplated by the Chilean regulations.  This requirement is met by the Company through the CEO certification to the effect that he is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards.  The Company submits Written Affirmations annually to the NYSE, as required by the NYSE.

D.  Employees

          As of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Company Chilean operation had 1,640, 1,611 and 1,708 employees, respectively.  Personnel employed in the foreign subsidiaries totaled 241 employees. Of the Chilean workforce at December, 2005, 703 were laborers and 1,005 held administrative and sales positions.  The Company also hires temporary workers during the harvesting season, which in 2005 averaged 1,426 temporary workers.

          Eight labor unions represent an aggregate of approximately 427 of the Company’s employees (approximately 84 administrative employees, 59 sales employees, and 284 plant employees).  Labor relations with unionized personnel are governed by collective bargaining agreements negotiated in 2004-2005 that expire in 2006- 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 70 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 a 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.

          In August 1999, members of the Guilisasti family and other affiliated parties entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement relating to, among others, the transfer and voting of Common Stock.  An English translation of such Shareholders’ Agreement is filed as Exhibit 3.4 to this Annual Report.

          Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, each party that is a holder of Common Stock agreed to provide to Totihue and Santa Bárbara the right to purchase all or part of any shares the selling shareholder wishes to sell from time to time.  In addition, both Santa Bárbara and Totihue agreed to provide to one another rights to purchase all or part of any Common Stock it wishes to sell from time to time.  Santa Bárbara and Totihue will have 30 days from the date of receipt of notice of the proposed sale to accept the offer (in whole or in part) to purchase the selling shareholder’s Common Stock subject to the proposed sale.

          The preferential purchase rights of Santa Bárbara and Totihue described above are applicable in the case of transfer of subscription rights of shareholders party to the Shareholders’ Agreement resulting from a capital increase, as well as in the case of issuance of capital stock in the event of a merger or split-off. The preferential purchase rights of Santa Bárbara and Totihue are not applicable to a transfer of Common Stock to certain persons, including subsidiaries in which the transferor controls 75% or more of such subsidiary’s capital stock, and direct ascendants and descendants of such transferor.

57


          The Shareholders’ Agreement is of indefinite duration and may be modified or terminated pursuant to a written agreement signed by the shareholders party to the Shareholders’ Agreement holding no less than 75% of the Common Stock subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement.

          According to information made available to the Company, on April 30, 2006, there were a total of 2,060,640 ADS outstanding representing 41,212,800 or 5.73% of the total shares of Common Stock of the Company at such date.

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 on 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 59.7% 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.  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 2005, the Company recognized Ch$2,443 million in revenues from Viñedos Emiliana, or 1.2% of total revenues, including mainly revenues from sales in bottling fees and administrative services.  In 2005, the Company paid Viñedos Emiliana Ch$212 million in licensing fees.  The Company recognized revenues from Viñedos Emiliana of Ch$2,732 million in 2004 and Ch$3,565 million in 2003.  The Company paid Viñedos Emiliana Ch$235 million in 2004 and Ch$389 million in 2003 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 2005, 2004 and 2003 total purchases from Viñedos Emiliana totaled Ch$1,409 million, Ch$975 million and Ch$863 million, respectively.

          Frutícola.  Frutícola is the Company’s principal customer for fruit.  In 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company sold Ch$241 million, Ch$154 million and Ch$315 million, respectively, of fruit to Frutícola for export.  The Company also purchases grapes from Frutícola for vinification.  In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company purchased Ch$610 million, Ch$297 million and Ch$208 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.

58


          The Company and Frutícola are under common control.  Two of the Company’s seven directors are members 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 56.6% 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 was paid in five annual installments with the last installment due in 2005.  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%.

          Industria Corchera is the primary cork supplier for the Company.  The Company purchased Ch$5,577 million, Ch$6,870 million and Ch$5,413 million of cork and other raw material from Industria in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  The Company believes that the price and terms it receives from Industria Corchera are equivalent to those available from its other cork suppliers.  Mr. Osvaldo Solar Venegas, the Company’s CFO and José Manasevich, Company Operating Manager are directors of Industria Corchera.

          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 Comercial Peumo.  Total purchases from Almaviva in 2005, 2004 and 2003 were Ch$911 million, Ch$733 million and Ch$349 million, respectively.  In addition, the Company sells to Almaviva raw materials and services.  Sales to Almaviva totaled in 2004, 2003, and 2002, Ch$81 million, Ch$103 million and Ch$142 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 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company purchased an aggregate of approximately Ch$1,216 million, Ch$709 million and Ch$660 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 — “Additional Information — Estatutos (By-Laws) — 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 2005.

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

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

          See Item 18 — “Financial Statements” and the financial statements referred to therein for consolidated financial statements and other financial information.  For information on legal or arbitration proceedings, see Item 10 — “Additional Information — Legal and Arbitration Proceedings.”  For a discussion on the Company’s policy on dividend distributions, see Item 10 — “Additional Information — Policy on Dividend Distributions.”  For information regarding the total amount of export sales and the percent and amount of export sales in the total amount of sales, see Item 5 — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results.”

ITEM 9:

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 2005, trading on the Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for approximately 85.5% 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 20 times the price per share.  As of Monday October 3, 2005 the ratio of one (1) ADS representing fifty (50) ordinary shares was changed to one (1) ADS representing twenty (20) ordinary shares. Therefore, as of October 3, 2005, Viña Concha y Toro’s ADS quotation will correspond initially, to the closing quotation of September 30, 2005 divided by 2.5 (two and one half).  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.

According to the Company’s records, as of April, 2006, there were 795 holders of record of the Common Stock.  Only the Depositary, as shareholder of record for the shares underlying the ADS (according to Circular 1375 S.V.S.), has an address in the United States.

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.

          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, 2006, approximately US$68,139) and exceeds 1% of the assets of the corporation, or if the amount exceeds 20,000 Unidades de Fomento (as of May 31, 2006, approximately US$681,390) 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.

62


          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.

          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.

63


          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:

 

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.

64


          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;

 

 

 

 

d)

determinations regarding compensation of the Board members;

 

 

 

 

e)

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

 

 

 

 

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

65


 

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.

66


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 2005, interim dividends Nos. 220, 221 and 222 of Ch$2.50 per share were paid on September 30, 2005, December 30, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively. A final dividend No. 223 of Ch$3.10 per share was paid on May 25, 2006 against the profits of the 2005 fiscal year. Total dividends disbursed against the profits of 2005 fiscal year were 40% of net earnings.

          For fiscal year 2006, the Board approved to pay three provisional dividends of Ch$2.50 per share, charged against the profits for fiscal year 2006. These will be paid on September 29, 2006, December 29, 2006 and March 30, 2007, while the remaining profits up to a limit of 40% of the earnings shall be disbursed in May 2007.

          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 in 2002 the Regulations.  The 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, 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 Regulations.  Under Chilean legislation, a Foreign Investment Contract may not be altered or affected adversely by actions of the Central Bank of Chile.

67


          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 is no longer in force, its 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.”   

          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 ADS or the shares.

          Each holder of the 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.

          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%.

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 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.

70


          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.

          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).

          United States

          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, which change could apply retroactively.

71


          The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a  holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock may vary depending upon its particular situation.  Certain 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, U.S. expatriates, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons holding ADSs or Common Stock through a partnership or other pass-through entity, traders that elect to mark-to-market, persons who acquired ADSs or Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as consideration, 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.  Unless otherwise stated, 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 foreign, state or local tax law, or any federal tax law other than income tax law on a 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 beneficial owner of ADS or shares of Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation 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 beneficial owner 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 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 2010, individual U.S. Holders are generally subject to a 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, 2010, 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 U.S. source 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.

72


          Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, 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.  If the dividends are subject to the 15% tax rate described above, the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will in general be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced rate divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends.  Dividends generally will constitute non-U.S. source “passive income” or “financial services income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, dividends generally will constitute non-U.S. source “passive category income” or “general category income.”  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 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, and generally will be U.S. source gain or loss (in the case of losses, subject to certain limitations).  Long-term capital gains realized by individuals generally are subject to tax at preferential rates.  The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. 

          As discussed under the heading “Chile-Capital Gains,” gain realized from a sale or other disposition of shares 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 generally 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 generally 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 trade or business in the United States or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more and certain other conditions are met.

          Passive Foreign Investment Company

          The Company believes that it was not a PFIC in any prior taxable year, and does not expect to be a PFIC for 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.

73


          If the Company were classified as a PFIC for a taxable year, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences would generally apply to a U.S. Holder of ADSs or 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 timely 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.

Interest Rate Risk

          The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its debt obligations.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company’s total interest-bearing financial debt amounted to Ch$88,085 million and Ch$60,453 million respectively, of which, as of December 31, 2005, Ch$28,372 million is short term debt and Ch$59,713 million is long term debt with maturities to 2010 for its bank debt and 2026 for the bond debt. 

          Of total debt, approximately 90.5% was fixed-rate debt and 9.5% was variable-rate debt.  The Company’s floating-rate debt, which totaled Ch$8,408 million, was denominated in Dollars, Euros, Sterling Pounds and Argentine Pesos.  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, 2005 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$79,677 million) with an average interest rate of 4.6% with maturities through 2026.

          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 2005 and 2004, 73.8% and 75.7%, 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.

75


          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, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized Ch$104 million and Ch$284 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, 2005, the Company held U.S. dollar forwards amounting to US$18.1 million, in Euros amounting EUR15.1 million, in Canadian dollar amounting CAD9.8 million and in Sterling Pounds for GBP5.8 million which expired during 2006 and 2007.

          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 2005, approximately 75% of the grapes used in the production of its premium, varietal, bi-varietals and sparkling wines were purchased by the Company from independent growers in Chile.  Additionally, in 2005, 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 the Company’s knowledge, no one has (i) materially modified the instruments defining the rights of the Company’s shareholders or (ii) materially modified or qualified the rights, evidenced by the Company’s 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 the Company’s internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s 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, the Company’s 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 the Company’s internal controls and procedures requiring corrective actions.

ITEM 16.A:

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

          The Company currently does 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 Sarbanes-Oxley) 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 the Company’s board of directors, officers and employees. All of the Company’s 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 the Company’s subsidiaries.  The Company’s code of ethics deals primarily with the following issues:

77


Duties of managers and personnel;

Conflict of interests;

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 the Company’s code of ethics is available on its website (www.conchaytoro.com).

ITEM 16.C:

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT’S FEES AND SERVICES

          Deloitte & Touche, Sociedad de Auditores y Consultores, Ltds. acted as the Company’s independent auditor for fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.  Fees for professional services in each of the last two fiscal years, in each of the following categories are:

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

          Chilean law states that public companies are subject to “pre-approval” requirements under which all audit and nonaudit services provided by the independent auditor must be pre-approved by the Directors’ Committee. In the Company’s case, its 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 consolidated balance sheets of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, all expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos.  These consolidated financial statements (including the related Notes) are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in their shareholders’ equity and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 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, 2004 and 2005 and the determination of net income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 to the extent summarized in Note 38.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of constant Chilean pesos 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.

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, 2005 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  S.A.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 remeasured 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2005 and US dollars

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.

 

 

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, 2005 (“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, 2005. 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:

The price-level restated consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent appraised values, replacement cost, or any other current value of assets at which transactions would take place currently and are only intended to restate all non-monetary financial statement components in terms of local currency of a single purchasing power and to include in the net result for each year the gain or loss in purchasing power arising from the holding of monetary assets and liabilities exposed to the effects of inflation.

Assets and liabilities denominated in “unidades de fomento” (UF - an inflation- indexed, Chilean peso-denominated monetary unit) are presented in Chilean pesos at the following year-end rates (stated in Chilean pesos per foreign currency):

i)

Property, plant and equipment

 

 

 

Property, plant and equipment are presented at acquisition and/or building or development cost plus price-level restatement.  This cost includes applicable financing costs incurred by the Company until the asset is ready for use.  The carrying value of property, plant and equipment was adjusted in 1979 in accordance with regulations of the SVS.

 

 

 

Fixed asset maintenance costs are charged to income as incurred.

 

 

 

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has evaluated the recovery of the value of its investments abroad (Argentina) in consideration of the guidelines established in Technical Bulletins Nos. 33 and 72 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants.  As a result of this evaluation, no impairment adjustments were recorded.

 

 

j)

Leased assets

 

 

 

Assets acquired through lease agreements that are classified as capital leases are recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments, which is calculated by discounting regular instalments and any related purchase option at the interest rate implied or stated in the respective agreement.  Leases payables are recorded net of unaccrued future interest in the short and long-term portion.

 

 

k)

Depreciation

 

 

 

Depreciation is calculated according to the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the different classes of assets, and includes depreciation pertaining to fixed asset technical appraisals.

 

 

l)

Intangible assets

 

 

 

Intangible assets represent rights or privileges acquired that will benefit the Company’s operations beyond the period in which they were acquired.  These refer primarily to water rights and industrial brand name rights, which are amortized over 40 and 10-year periods, respectively.  These assets are presented at restated cost and include other acquisition related costs, except for the cost of financing.

 

 

m)

Investments in related companies

 

Investments in shares of public and private companies in which the Company exercises significant influence are valued according to the equity method whereby the investment is carried at acquisition cost, plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings or losses since acquisition, including the elimination of unrealized gains or losses.  Investments in foreign companies have been valued in accordance with the provisions of Technical Bulletin No. 64 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants.

 

 

n)

Investments in other companies

 

 

 

Investments in equity shares traded in the Chilean Stock Market in which the Company cannot exercise significant influence are valued at the lower of restated cost and quoted market value of the portfolio at the date of the financial statements.

o)

Goodwill

 

 

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of shares of related companies over the book value of these investments at the date of the acquisition.  These differences are amortized over 5 to 20 years, using the straight-line method.  Goodwill for acquisitions that occurred after December 31, 2003 have been recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

 

 

p)

Income and deferred taxes

 

 

 

The Company determines and records its income taxes on an accrual basis based on the net taxable income in conformity with current Chilean tax regulations.

 

 

 

Deferred income taxes are recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60 and the complementary technical bulletins thereto Nos. 68, 69, 71 and 73 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants. Deferred taxes are recorded based on the total amount of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effects of deferred income taxes at Juanary 1, 2000 that were not previously recorded, were recognized, in accordance with the transitional period provided by Technical Bulletin No. 60, against a contra assets and liability account (Complementary accounts) and were recorded to offset the effects of the deferred tax and liabilities not recorded prior to January 1, 2000. Complementary accounts are amortized  to income over the estimated average reversal periods corresponding to underlying temporary differences to which the deferred tax asset or liability relate. Deferred taxes at January 1, 2000 are recorded based on the total amount of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effects on deferred taxes generated by the absorption of tax losses against current year taxable income are recorded against deferred tax expense in the associated year.

 

 

q)

Staff severance indemnities

 

 

 

Severance benefits payable to employees are stated at the present value of the projected obligation attributable to each employee for his/her accumulated years of service.  The liability considers an annual discount rate of 6.00% and an average remaining service period of 11 years.

 

 

r)

Vacations

 

 

 

The cost of employees’ vacations is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

 

s)

Statement of cash flows

 

 

 

The Company prepares the statement of cash flows using the direct method.  The Company classifies as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less.  Cash flows provided by operating activities include all cash flows related to the Company, also including interest paid, financial income and, in general, all cash flows which are not defined as being part of investing or financial activities. It should be noted that the concept of operations applied in the preparation of this statement is broader than that used in the statement of income.

 

 

t)

Revenue recognition

 

 

 

Revenues from the sale of goods and services related to the Company’s line of business are recognized in income when there is certainty that there has been an increase in the Company’s equity as the significant risks and benefits related to the ownership of those goods have been transferred to the buyer, the determination of the amount of revenue and cost is reliable, and there is certainty that the economical benefits from the transaction will flow to the Company.

u)

Derivative contracts

 

 

 

The Company has foreign exchange forward contracts that have been designated as hedge instruments against variations in the foreign exchange rate of specific items, and are recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 57 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants.

 

 

 

Derivative instruments are accounted for as follows:


 

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.

 

 

 

 

Hedges of forecasted transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value, with the corresponding gains or losses deferred and recorded as offsetting assets or liabilities until settlement, at which time they are recognized in earnings.


v)

Computer software

 

 

 

Investments in computer programs relate principally to capitalized costs incurred in the implementation of the SAP R/3 system and other complementary or additional programs, which are presented under other fixed assets which are being amortized, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

 

 

w)

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

 

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have recorded allowances for doubtful accounts based on a case-by-case assessment of debtors, reserving for buckets whose overdue balance exceeds five months.  In addition, the Company considers its historical experience with write-offs, which has not been significant.

 

 

x)

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, 2005 closing exchange Ch$512.50 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2005 and US dollars

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 with the exception of that transferred to the cost basis of invesment of between 10% and 20% of stock commom) 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, 2005 and 2004.  The Company holds certain equity securities which have been classified as long-term investments; see Note 12.

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 the table below..

 

 

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 years 2004 and 2005, some loan instruments due to certain banks and financial institutions were designated as a hedge of the Company´s net investments in Argentine companies Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos and Distribuidora Peumo, which investment is recorded at  ThCh$5,677,320 (US$11,077,698). These liabilities therefore generated a credit to the account Translation adjustment reserve for 2005 of ThCh$719,678 (ThCh$468,757 in 2004).

 

 

d)

In January 2005, the subsidiaries Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A. and Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A., acquired 120 shares of Finca Lunlunta S.A., which represent 100% of the total number of shares of that company. The amount paid in this transaction was Arg$1,000.

e)

On June 22, 2005, the subsidiary VCT Internacional sold to Comercial Peumo Ltda.  9.99%, or 71,060 shares of the 711,140 it had in Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A. The amount of the transaction was ThCh$133,344.  With this transaction  Comercial Peumo Ltda. increased its participation in Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A from 0.01% to 10%. On the other hand VCT Internacional decreased its participation in the same company from 99.99% to 90%.  This transaction did not signify any change in participation in the ownership Viña Concha y Toro S.A. had in Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A. in consolidation..  This transaction did not generate any income statement effects in Viña Concha y Toro S.A.  and subsidiaries.

 

 

f)

On July 15, 2005, the Company signed an agreement regarding  the merger of its  operations in Argentina,  the subsidiaries Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A. and Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A. The objective was to  position  the TRIVENTO brand more appropriately in the Argentine domestic market. The merger was effected based on the June 30, 2005 book balances  and took effect  beginning on October 1, 2005.  Therefore, up to September 30, 2005, both companies worked independently under their by-laws in force at the time. .  The successor company was Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A.  The assets and liabilities of Distribuidora Peumo  S.A. were transferred to the successor company at their book value.

 

 

g)

Due to the merger of Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A. and Distribuidora Peumo Argentina S.A, its  successor company became the owner of 100% of the shares of Finca Lulunta S.A.  On November 21, 2005. Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos S.A., the successor company, transferred to VCT Internacional 1 share of Finca Lulunta S.A. representing 0.83% of the total shares.

 

 

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$537,781(ThCh$537,781in 2004).  This unrealized gain will be recognized only upon sale of the plot of land to a third party.

 

 

4)

On September 2004, the subsidiaries Inversiones Concha y Toro S.A. and Sociedad Exportadora y Comercial Oneworldwines Ltda. bought 25% of Villa Alegre S.A. shares . With this transaction Viña Concha y Toro S.A. took control indirectly of 100% of Villa Alegre S.A.. This purchase generated  negative goodwill of ThCh$6,735 which was credited to income during 2004.

 

 

 

During October,  2004 Villa Alegre S.A. ended its productive operations and on December 31, 2004 ended its operations.

 

 

5)

During the year 2005, the Company received a dividend from Industria Corchera S.A. for an amount of ThCh$155,526 (dividends received  of ThCh$85,422 for the year ending December 31, 2004).

Supplemental information to the Change in Shareholders’ equity statement (page F-5)

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. 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.

Note 30 - Contingencies and Restrictions

1) Wine contracts: The Company enters into long-term agreements for the acquisition of grapes and wine, which expire on various dates through 2014.

2) 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 entitles the government to expropriate lots 481 property of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. 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 Ch$2,080,314,000 (historical amount).

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 compensation granted for the expropriation of the three above-mentioned lots.

At the first ruling on  October 6, 2003, the lawsuit  was entered into plea and greater compensation was set for a sum of Ch$1,043,953,230 (historical value), plus restatement according to  the variation in the CPI beginning on March 1, 2000,the  date on  which the provisional appraisal was performed. This sentence was appealed by the Chilean State before the Court of Appeals of San Miguel, and it is under consideration.

During 2001 and 2002, Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and Viña Cono Sur S.A. received the full amount of compensation for  the expropriations as established by the Ministry of Public Works of the above-mentioned lots.  The gain on the expropriation was reflected as other non-operating income within non-operating results.

3) 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.)

Through a ruling  dated January 31, 2003, confirmed by the Court of Appeals of Rancagua through a resolution dated September 16, 2004, the lawsuit was partially accepted  and compensation of Ch$52,055,466 (historical value) was affirmed for damages.

The Treasury appealed before the Supreme Court and this appeal is still being processed.

4) Restrictions and limits for the issuance of public offering bonds.

Covenants associated with the issuance of bonds payable are as follows:

a) Maintain assets free of liens or encumbrances for an amount equivalent to at least 1.5 times the total amount of placement of bonds outstanding with a charge to the line agreed in the contract. This liability will be payable only at the closing dates of the financial statements.

b)The issuer is obliged not to sell, cede or transfer essential assets that endanger the continuance of its current line of business.

c) Send to the representative of bondholders, together with quarterly information indicated in the bond issuance contract  a notice of any  reduction of its participation in its significant subsidiaries, as defined,  greater than ten per cent of this principal, as well as any reduction that signifies losing  control of a subsidiary, within five business days following the date of the transaction.

d) Maintain an  indebtedness ratio not greater than 1.4 times;

e) Maintain, at all times, during the life of the present bond issuance, minimum equity of five million UF;

f) Maintain at all times a coverage ratio of interest expenses of a minimum of 2.5  times.  Coverage ratio for interest expenses is to be  calculated based  on the period of twelve months prior to the date of the financial statements statutorily filed with the SVS.;

g) Not investing in instruments issued by related parties, not granting loans to these or performing with them any operation under conditions that are less favourable for the issuer in  comparison with those in the market as provided in article 89 of the Corporations Act.  The issuer will also  ensure  compliance with this restriction by its subsidiaries. For these purposes, related parties will be understood to be  those indicated in Article 100 of Law 18,045;

April 26, 2006

The Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and the stock exchanges were informed of the holding of the general shareholders’ meeting of Viña Concha y Toro S.A., which adopted the following resolutions, among others:

Distribute against the earnings for the year 2005, a final dividend No.223 of Ch$ 3.10 per share payable as of  May 25, 2006, ( This is in addition to the interim dividends paid against the earnings for 2005, being dividends Nos.220 and 221,  both for Ch$ 2.50 per share, paid on September 30 and December 30, 2005 respectively and dividend No.222 for Ch$2.50 paid on March 31, 2006).

Maintain the dividend policy of distributing 40% of net income. It is therefore the board’s intention to distribute against the earnings obtained during the year 2006, three dividends Nos.224, 225 and 226 for Ch$2.50 each, payable as interim dividends on September 30, December 29, 2006 and March 31, 2007. These dividends would be subject to the Company’s cash position. A fourth dividend will also be paid for the amount necessary to complete 40% of the net income for the year 2006, payable on a date to be determined by general shareholders’ meeting to be held in 2007.

March 11, 2005

On March 11, 2005, the Company informed the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and Chilean Stock Exchanges of the following dividend policy proposed at the General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting:

Distribute with a charge to income for the year 2004, a final dividend No. 219 of Ch$6.62 per share which will be paid on May 26, 2005, which is added to those provisional dividends distributed with a charge to income for the year 2004 Nos. 216 and 217 for an amount of Ch$2.00 per share each paid on September 30, 2004 and December 30, 2004, respectively and dividend No. 218 for a sum of Ch$2.00, which will be paid on March 31, 2005.

Maintain as dividend policy 40% of net income.  The Board of Directors’ intention is to distribute with a charge to income obtained during 2005, three dividends Nos. 220, 221 and 222 for an amount of Ch$2.50 per share each, which will be paid as provisional dividends on September 30, 2005, December 30, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively.  A fourth dividend will be paid for the amount required to complete 40% of income for the year 2005, which will be paid in May 2006, upon becoming aware of and approving income for the year by the shareholders at the respective General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

Note 38 - 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.

 

 

 

Price level restatement is not eliminated from the reconciliations to US GAAP, as allowed under items 17 of Form 20-F of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules. In addition, as provided by the AICPA International Task Force, accounting for foreign investments under Technical Bulletin N° 64 complies with the requirements of reporting on Form 20-F.

 

 

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 acquirers 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. We test goodwill (Industria Corchera S.A.) for impairment by first comparing the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations, based on external valuation. If the fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment.

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, 2005 and US dollars

 

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 paragraph 1 l).

 

 

 

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 1 l).

 

 

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, 2003, 2004 and 2005.  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, 2003, 2004, or 2005.  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 l) 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 l) 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 l) below represents items remaining in inventory as of December 31, 2002  that were produced in prior years, which remained unsold until 2003, 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2005 and US dollars

 

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 l) 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 1l) below.

h)

Provision for restructuring

 

 

 

The Company made a provision for restructuring principally related to one-time termination benefits. Under Chilean GAAPs, these costs may be recognized once the approval of the Board of Directors has taken place. Under US GAAP, this provision does not meet the requirements under SFAS No 146 related to communication to the designated employees. The provision is therefore reversed  in the net income and shareholders’ equity  reconciliation for  the year ended at December 31, 2005 (paragraph 1 l).

 

 

i)

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.

 

 

 

The following represents accumulated other comprehensive income balance, net of taxes, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

j)

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.

 

 

 

 

Hedges of forecasted transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value, with the corresponding gains or losses deferred and recorded as offsetting assets or liabilities until settlement, at which time they are recognized in earnings.

 

 

 

 

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.

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.

 

 

 

The Company enters into forward foreign  exchange contracts in order to hedge its  risk against exchange rate fluctuations. Such fluctuations in exchange rates are correlated with our wine sales agreements denominated in foreign currencies. Under Chile GAAP, all unrealised mark to mark gains/losses have been deferred. Under U.S. GAAP, such contracts have no been designated or documented as “ hedges” under SFAS No 133, therefore all significant mark to mark adjustments would be recorded through the income statement.

 

 

 

The Company entered into a hedge of its net investment in Argentina in 2004. Under Chile GAAP the documentation requirements for this hedge were met. Under U.S. GAAP, specifically, as the Company had not detailed how the hedging instruments’ effectiveness in offsetting the change in fair value would be assessed, the designation of the net investment as a hedge under USGAAP did not qualify ( see 38 1 l).

 

 

 

In 2005, it was determined that the Company’s 2004 documentation of its “hedge” under Chilean GAAP of its net investment in Argentina did not qualify as such under U.S. GAAP as the result of which its cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) had been credited inappropriately for ThCh$468,757 in 2004.  Since this 2004 misstatement was deemed to have an immaterial effect on the presentation of financial statements for prior periods, corrections have been recorded in the 2005 reconciliations to U.S. GAAP, resulting in a net increase in net income of ThCh$468,757 and an offsetting charge to CTA.

 

 

 

The reconciliations of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2005 and of net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 include the adjustments for differences in derivative treatment mentioned above.

 

 

 

The Company has determined that its U.S. dollar denominated farm lease agreements discussed in Note 28 include embedded foreign currency exchange derivative instruments.  However, as the estimated fair values of the embedded derivatives are deemed immaterial, the related effects  are not included in the reconciliations of net income and shareholders’ equity below.

 

 

k)

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 l) 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 73.8% of total sales and domestic sales represented 26.2%. 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.

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, accounts receivables, notes receivables and Other receivable, accounts payables and Short-term and long-term bank debt, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value of these instruments.  For interest bearing liabilities (excluding bonds), 90% of which are contracted at fixed rates and 10% of  which are contracted at variable rates, the fair values are based on quoted market interest rates at the respective period ends.

Concentrations of credit risk

 

 

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable.

 

 

 

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments and certain other financial instruments with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located in Chile and the Company’s policy is designed to limit exposure to any one institution. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions.

 

 

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion around the world. Sales to the Company’s five largest distributors, represented  51.2%, 44.1% and 44.3% of total export revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, and 2005 respectively.  The Company’s exclusive agent and importer in the United States, who  imports and resells the Company’s products to distributors who service all 50 states, was the Company’s largest single customer in 2005,  corresponding to  12.4% of the Company’s total revenue and 23.4% of the company export revenues (13.3% and 22.3% in 2004 and 15.8% and 25.6% in 2003 , respectively).

Section 6.08 of the AICPA Industry  Guide for  Agricultural Producers and Agricultural Cooperatives, which  provides guidance applicable to operators  of  vineyards  as established  in Section 6.29 of the Industry guide, states in part, “Generally, farming procedures undertaken alter the current year harvest benefit the crop of the succeeding year”. Over the  course  of our  farming activities undertaken from May through the  following April, we incur direct and indirect costs that  benefit the crop of the  succeeding year. Such  costs relate to the usage of agricultural supplies, depreciation  of machinery  and equipment  used in the tilling, etc. of the land , and worker labor. Paragraph 38 of statement  of  Position 85-3, “Accounting by Agricultural Producers and Agricultural Cooperatives” (“SOP 85-3”) states, “All direct and indirect costs of growing crops should be accumulated and growing crops should  be reported at the lower of cost or market”. We believe our practice of deferring these costs and recognizing them in earnings upon the sale of inventories is consistent  with the provisions of SOP 85-3. The indirect costs are accumulated by vintage and allocated based on the  actual  production in kilograms which each vintages acreage  (or, in our case, hectarage) produces. These costs are included in prepaid  expense under Chilean GAAP  and were reclasificated to inventory  under U.S. GAAP.

 

 

 

Additionally,  we have certain  deferred harvest costs (direct and indirect) related tour vinification cycle which are allocated to the  liters produced  of our  individual vintages as they move through  work in process to the  finished goods stage. These costs  accumulate in  deferred  harvest costs from the end of the  harvest  cycle  until  the wine has been  bottled or packaged at which  point they become part of the cost of finished  goods inventory.

New accounting pronouncements

In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” which address the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the timing and measurement of an impairment loss. These FSP’s are required to be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We do not expect the adoption of these FSP’s will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

          In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrument - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.”  This new statement:

          a)          Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;

          b)          Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”;

          c)          Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;

          d)          Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and

          e)          Amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

          SFAS 155 generally is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
