Glossary of Special Terms
Lees: Sediment composed of 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.
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.

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, 2012, which was Ch$479.96 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 18840, 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 February 28, 2013 was Ch$472.96 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 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 2011-2012 season was characterized by normal climatic conditions, absence of rain and a long harvest period. The harvest in 2012 was the most fruitful of Chilean history with 1,257 million liters, a 18.2% increase from 2011. 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 adheres to the regulations imposed by the Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (the “Chilean Agriculture Service”) requiring 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. The Company’s core business is the production and sales of wines. Wines are subject to a number of taxes and tariffs, including excise taxes in the United States, in the United Kingdom and in the Company’s other principal export markets. 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 also 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 matters such 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. Currently the Chilean Congress is discussing a new law that will regulate labeling of alcoholic beverages in Chile. 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. In 2010 and 2009, the largest distributor was Banfi Products Corporation (“Banfi”) in the United States, which represented 11.7% and 12.7% of the Company’s total exports revenues in these years respectively. In July 2011, Excelsior Wine Company (see Exhibit 4.4), a new joint venture between Concha y Toro and Banfi, was created to import and distribute wines in the U.S.
In 2012 and 2011 the largest distributor was Mitsubishi Coporation (“Mitsubishi”) which serves the Japanese market. Sales to Mitsubishi represented 3.4% of the Company’s total export revenues in 2012 and 2.6% in 2011; and 2.1% and 1.7% of total revenues in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Sales to the Company’s five largest distributors, excluding Banfi, represented 11.0% and 10.4% of total export revenues in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has written agreements with most of its distributors—usually one– to two–year terms, automatically renewable. 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 there are another two suppliers of bottles with smaller capacities. 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.
| 6 |
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 60.2% and 44.6% of the Company’s domestic sales by volume and value, respectively, in 2012 and 63.4% and 48.5%, respectively, in 2011. 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 materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations. See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Bottling.”
The Company currently relies on approximately 937 outside vineyards for supplies of grapes and approximately 30 producers for bulk wine. In 2012, approximately 65%, of the grapes used in the production of the Company’s premium, varietal and, bi-varietal wines were purchased by the Company from independent growers in Chile. Additionally, in 2012, the Company purchased grapes and bulk wine required to produce approximately 72% 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 2012, the Company had long-term contracts with up to approximately 27% 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 are intensely competitive. In Chile and in approximately 137 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 grape and bulk wine purchase prices, or 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. As widely reported, the worldwide and Chilean economies have experienced adverse conditions in the past and may be subject to further deterioration for the foreseeable future, due to the slow pace of the economic recovery worlwide. The Company is subject to risks associated with these adverse conditions. These conditions include economic slowdown and its impact on 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 materially adverse effect on the Company. See Item 5 — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”
Acquisitions and Dispositions. The Company ocassionally engages in acquisitions of businesses and additional brands. We cannot assure that we will be able to find and purchase businesses at acceptable prices and terms. The Company also faces risks involved in integration of acquired businesses and personnel into the Company’s existing systems and operations, and to bring them into conformity with our trade practice standards, financial control environment and reporting requirements. Integration involves significant expense and management time and attention, and may otherwise disrupt the Company’s business. The Company’s acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards in April 2011 poses challenges and may impact the Company’s future performance. Brand or business acquisitions also may expose the Company to unknown liabilities, the possible loss of key customers and/or employees knowledgeable about the acquired business, and risks associated with doing business in countries or regions outside Chile, political climates, and legal systems and/or economies, among other risks. Acquisitions could also result in the incurrence of additional debt and related interest expenses, issue additional shares, and become exposed to contingent liabilities, as well as to experience dilution in earnings per share and reduction in return on average invested capital. The Company may incur future restructuring charges or record impairment losses on the value of goodwill and/or other intangible assets resulting from previous acquisitions, and may not achieve expected synergies, cost savings or other targets, all of which may negatively affect financial results. The Company evaluates from time-to-time potential dispositions that may no longer meet our growth, return and/or strategic objectives; such dispositions may impact the Company’s financial results, and we cannot predict the terms or conditions of such dispositions, nor expect to find acceptable buyers in a timely manner. Expected cost savings from reduced overhead relating to the sold assets may not materialize, and the overhead reductions could temporarily disrupt the Company’s other business operations. Any of these outcomes could impact the Company’s financial results.

Difficulty of Enforcing Judgments Under U.S. Federal Securities Laws. The ability of a purchaser of American Depositary 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 officers, 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, must be submitted either to resolution by the ordinary courts of Chile or 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 who will have to have served during the last 3 years as an assistant member of the Chilean Supreme Court. 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 (except as a matter of public policy) and would be authorized to decide the matter in accordance with his or her view of what is just and equitable. 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 uncertainty regarding the ability of ADS holders to bring actions against the Company or its officers, directors or advisors based upon U.S. federal securities law, 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, that no treaty exists between the United States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments issued by ordinary courts (exception made of awards issued by foreign arbitral courts, where the UN New York Convention may be applied). Chilean courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered by United States courts provided that certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected (basically that the judgment (a) does not contain anything contrary to the laws of Chile, notwithstanding differences in procedural rules, (b) is not in conflict with Chilean jurisdiction, (c) has not been rendered by default within the meaning of Chilean law and (d) is final under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction rendering such judgment), without reviewing the merits of the subject matter in the case. Nevertheless, the Company has been advised by Cruzat, Ortúzar & Mackenna Ltda. – Baker & McKenzie that a judgment rendered by a US court will be in conflict with Chilean jurisdiction if it affects in any way properties located in Chile, which are as a matter of Chilean law subject to the laws of Chile as well as to the jurisdiction of Chilean courts. Therefore, there is doubt as to the enforceability in Chile of judgments rendered with respect to Chilean securities, by United States courts in actions predicated upon the civil liability of the U.S. federal securities laws.
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 2012, 83% of the Company’s assets were located in Chile. In 2012 and 2011, sales in the Chilean market accounted for approximately 21.2% and 22.6%, 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 2011 and 2012 were:
| · | Real GDP increased 5.9% in 2011 and increased 5.6% in 2012. |
| · | Private consumption grew 8.9% in 2011 and 6.1% in 2012. |
| · | The unemployment rate was 6.6% and 6.1% in December 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of February 2013, the unemployment rate was 6.2%, compared to 6.4% in February 2012. |
| · | As a percentage of GDP, investment in fixed assets was 25.2% in 2011 and 26.8% in 2012. |
Source: Central Bank of Chile.
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 Corredores — Bolsa 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 approximately 88% of Chile’s equity trading volume in 2012, had a market capitalization of approximately Ch$ 150,020 billion (aprox US$312.6 billion) as of December 31, 2012 and an average monthly trading of Ch$ 1,871 billion (aprox US$3,897 million). The ten largest companies in terms of market capitalization represented approximately 44.0% of the aggregate market capitalization of the Santiago Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2012. 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 55.9% of all trading volume on the Santiago Stock Exchange in 2012. During 2012, approximately 31% of the securities listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange traded an average of 85% or more of the trading days.
| 9 |
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 the past five year period and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. See Item 3 — “Key Information — 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 the Company’s 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 78% of the Company’s revenues are related to foreign sales that are denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Sterling Pounds, Canadian dollars, Argentine pesos, Brazilian reais and Swedish and Norwegian crowns and Mexican pesos. Changes in these foreign currencies relative to the Chilean peso may result in operating losses for the Company and its subsidiaries. In order to mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates, the Company enters into, from time to time, forward exchange agreements. See Item 5 — “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. The Company completed the acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards in April 2011. This acquisition should further mitigate the short-term effect of changes in the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.
The Company holds assets in different currencies through its subsidiaries, whose assets are subject to currency fluctuation. The Company has used financial instruments to minimize this effect.
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 or Euros. To the extent that the Company sells products with these components for pesos or other non-U.S. currencies or Euros, changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and Euros 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 Item 3 — “Key Information — Exchange Rates.”
Restrictions on Foreign Investment and Repatriation. 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. At the time the ADS facility was issued, the Central Bank had issued certain regulations (the “Former Regulations”) imposing the obligation to obtain the previous authorization from the Central Bank of Chile and the execution of an agreement with such bank in order to proceed with an ADS facility.
| 10 |
Due to the above, 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.
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 and, thus, are not subject to Chilean taxation. See Item 10 — “Additional Information — Taxation.”
The Foreign Investment Contract is currently in force and will continue to govern the ADS facility until all parties agree to terminate it. If the Foreign Investment Contract is terminated, the ADS facility would then become subject to the New Regulations (as defined below). Under Chilean legislation, a Foreign Investment Contract may not be altered or affected adversely by actions of the Central Bank of Chile.
The Central Bank of Chile relaxed foreign exchange restrictions in 2002, allowing entities and individuals to purchase, sell, keep and remit abroad foreign currency without restrictions, although the Central Bank of Chile still requires reports of such transactions to be filed with it.
The Central Bank of Chile adopted a new Foreign Exchange Regulations Compendium (the “New Regulations”) published in the Official Gazette on January 23, 2002 and effective as of March 1, 2002. The New Regulations impose only three levels of restrictions or obligations on foreign exchange transactions in Chile: (i) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency must be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank) and reported to the Central Bank of Chile (e.g., investments, loans, deposits and certain other transactions in excess of Ch$ 4.79 million aprox. (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 (e.g., 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. Thus, in the event that the Foreign Investment Contract were terminated, an amendment to the New Regulations could, among other things, restrict the ability of ADS holders to dispose of the underlying shares of Common Stock of the ADS or repatriate proceeds of the Common Stock. The duration or impact of any such restrictions would be difficult to assess.
Differences in Corporate Disclosure and Accounting-Taxation Standards. The principal objective of Chile’s securities laws governing 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 ADS hoders than would exist if United States securities laws governed the Company’s domestic securities transactions. Nevertheless, during 2009 a new set of rules was enacted (Law of Corporate Governance N° 20.382) in order to improve the protection of the minority shareholders; these rules focused principally on the following matters:
| · | Reducing information asymmetries between shareholders: The Law of Corporate Governance (i) requires the board of directors of a company to generate a set of rules designed to ensure the timely and complete release of information required by the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor (“SVS”), the stock exchange markets and the general public; (ii) requires the board of directors of a company to ensure that all legal and financial information required to be released to the shareholders and the general public, shall not first be disclosed to anyone in the company other than those employees or executives who, because of their position or activity, should know this information before it is made available to shareholders and the general public; and (iii) requires the company to issue a set of rules and procedures regarding variation in or changes to securities prices, applicable to all directors and executives. |
| 11 |
| · | Strengthening the role of the independent director as a representative of minority shareholders: The Law of Corporate Governance clearly establishes who may serve in a company as an independent director and clearly states the procedure for their election. The Law of Corporate Governance requires at least one independent director on a local director’s committee. |
| · | Ensuring the Corporate welfare in transactions with related parties: The Law of Corporate Governance provides strict procedures for approving related party transactions. Excluding minor exceptions, transactions with related parties shall have prior approval and shall be carried out only if they promote the corporate welfare. |
| · | Long distance voting for shareholder’s meetings: The Law of Corporate Governance also authorizes long distance voting for shareholder’s meetings according to general rulings issued by the SVS. |
| · | New right of retirement scenario: The Law of Corporate Governance includes the right of the minority shareholders to force the controlling shareholder to purchase their shares if it acquires more than a 95% stake of a company. |
| · | Insider Information: The use of insider information for personal benefit is prohibited under Chilean corporate law. |
In 2007 the SVS and the Company began a migration program from local accounting principles (Chilean GAAP) to (IFRS). Since 2010 the Company’s financial statements have been presented in accordance with IFRS principles.
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).” The principles of law applicable to the Company and its shareholders differ from those that would apply if the Company were incorporated in the United States. However, shareholders who own 5% or more of the Company as well as any of its directors are entitled to take legal action in the name of the Company against anyone who may have caused damage to the Company.
Inflation. Although inflation in Chile has moderated in recent years, Chile has historically 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 2012, 2011 and 2010 were 1.5%, 3.9% and 3.0%, respectively.
The Company believes that moderate inflation will not materially affect its business in Chile. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that inflation in Chile will not increase significantly from its current levels and that the operating results of the Company or the value of the ADS will not be affected adversely by a continuation of or an increase in the level of inflation.

| ITEM 4: | INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY |
A. 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 sales in 2012 of 275 million liters and Ch$450,545 million.
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 nine principal wine growing regions. In addition to its properties in Chile, the Company owns a winery and vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, and since April 2011, it owns a winery and vineyards in California, U.S..
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 1, 1.5 and 2.0 liter Tetra Brik packages. A small quantity of wine, 0.3% of total revenues of 2012 was sold in bulk form in domestic and export markets.
The Company sells its premium wines under brand names including: Don Melchor, Carmín de Peumo, Gravas del Maipo, Amelia, Terrunyo, Marqués de Casa Concha, Gran Reserva Serie Riberas, Casillero del Diablo, Trio and Late Harvest. The Company sells its varietal and bi-varietal wines under the brand names Sunrise, Concha y Toro and Frontera. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries, Viña Cono Sur, Viña Maipo, Viña Canepa Viña Palo Alto, Viña Maycas del Limarí and Trivento, market their premium, varietal and bi-varietal wines under the brand names Cono Sur, Isla Negra, Maipo, Canepa, Palo Alto, Maycas del Limarí and Trivento. The Company sells popular wines under the brand names Tocornal, Clos de Pirque, Exportaciόn 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 sells wines under a portfolio of brands acquired in the Fetzer acquisition including: Fetzer, Bonterra, Five Rivers, Jekel, Sanctuary and Little Black Dress.
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 eight years, the Company has focused its marketing efforts on the Casillero del Diablo brand. Through a global marketing campaign launched in August 2001 and with a new packaging originally unveiled in 2002, the Company’s target is to transform Casillero del Diablo into a global brand. In 2012, sales of Casillero del Diablo totaled 3.4 million cases.
| 13 |
The Company has produced sustained growth in recent years in all areas of its business, maintaining its position as the undisputed leader in the Chilean wine industry. Concha y Toro has strongly penetrated the principal external markets, where the brand enjoys high recognition and growing brand preference. Different factors have contributed to the Company’s strength in both the domestic and external markets. Most notable are its investments in the latest technologies and production techniques for producing premium and super-premium wines, the growth and constant innovation in its own production and the launching of new products in the premium segment. In addition, the Company has a solid distribution network that complements an export strategy based on the market diversification and constant expansion. In terms of the brand marketing, in 2010 the Company entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Manchester United, the most popular soccer team in the United Kingdom and one of the world’s most recognized sporting brands.
The Company also believes that it has competitive advantages in export markets due to the lower production costs in Chile as compared to the costs faced by 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 in Chile is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary Comercial Peumo Ltda. (“Comercial Peumo”). In December 2000, the Company formed a fully-owned sales and distribution subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Concha y Toro UK Limited (“Concha y Toro UK”). This subsidiary commenced operations in March 2001. In 2008, Concha y Toro established distribution subsidiaries in Brazil, Sweden, Finland and Norway in order to strengthen its sales in those countries. In March 2010, Concha y Toro established a distribution subsidiary in the asian market, choosing Singapore as its base, and in April 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards in the United States. In July 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture with Banfi to import and distribute Concha y Toro, Trivento and certain brands belonging to Fetzer into the U.S. market.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sociedad Exportadora y Comercial Viña Maipo SpA. (“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” or “Trivento”) to reinforce the marketability of Trivento, its main brand and range of wines. Viña Trivento is located in Mendoza, Argentina.
In recent years, the Company has launched several new wines, marketed and distributed by its subsidiaries, to strengthen its position in the premium and super-premium categories. In 2006, the Company introduced a premium wine, Palo Alto, to the market and in 2007, the Company introduced wines from Viña Maycas del Limarí, a new super premium winery. Viña Maycas del Limarí is located in the Limarí Valley, a relatively new wine region in the north of Chile that the Company believes has strong enological potential and in which the Company has invested in the recent years. In August 2009, the company launched in Chile (and in selected markets) a new line of wines, Gran Reserva Serie Riberas to strengthen the super-premium category of the Concha y Toro portfolio. The Serie Riberas line originates in vineyards located in the basins of different Chilean rivers that receive cool breezes from the coast and are noted for the freshness of their wines.
In 2009, a new subsidiary of Viña Cono Sur, Viñedos Los Robles SpA, was created to sell fair trade wines, mainly in the UK and European markets. Its main brand is Los Robles La Fonda.
In March 2007, Concha y Toro signed an agreement with winery José Canepa y Compañia Limitada covering, among other topics, the winery’s production facilities in Lo Espejo, in the Santiago metropolitan area. The agreement includes the lease of Canepa’s vinification and aging cellar and warehouse for finished products, as well as a brand licensing agreement that will allow Viña Concha y Toro to market and distribute Canepa and Mapocho brands in the domestic and international markets. These wines are managed by the wholly-owned subsidiary, Sociedad Exportadora y Comercial Viña Canepa S.A. (“Viña Canepa”).
| 14 |
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 owns 50% of the capital of Viña Almaviva. Viña Almaviva is producing 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 wine from its 1996 harvest under the name “Almaviva.” Worldwide distribution of Almaviva, in all countries except for Chile and the U.S., is handled by Bordeaux Negociants. Distribution of Almaviva in Chile is handled by the Company.
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. In 2008, the Company increased its ownership to 49.96%. An English translation of the shareholders’ agreement between the Company and Amorim was previously filed and is listed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report. See Item 19 — “Exhibits.” The Company and Amorim jointly own 99.93% 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 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.”
On April 15, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards and related assets that Brown-Forman Corporation owned in California. This acquisition contemplated a portfolio of brands with positioning in the American market, including: Fetzer, Bonterra, Five Rivers, Jekel, Sanctuary and the license of the brand Little Black Dress wines.
In connection with the April 2011 acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards, the Company and Brown Forman entered into a transition services agreement. Among others, for a limited period of time Brown-Forman agreed to provide to the Company certain transitional services (agency, marketing, distribution, IT systems, human resources, and other related services) relating to Fetzer. The duration of these services were different: Sales and Marketing Services were used until the end of December 2011, whereas the Administrative services were either not used or used for less than a month from the date of acquisition (April 15th, 2012). Fetzer also will continue to supply its products to Brown-Forman for a limited period.
On July 13, 2011, Viña Concha y Toro S.A., through its subsidiary VCT USA, Inc. subscribed an agreement with Banfi Vintners, current distributor of Concha y Toro’s product in United States, to create a new company between them, named Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. to be registered in Delaware. Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. will be managed by Banfi and VCT USA, Inc. Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. will distribute the Chilean wines of Concha y Toro and the Argentine wines of Trivento in the United States. Also, it will distribute the brands “Little Black Dress” and “Five Rivers” that belong to our subsidiary in California, Fetzer Vineyards. A copy of the Limited Liability Agreement of Excelsior Wine Company, LLC was previously filed and is listed as Exhibit 4.4 in this Annual Report (See Item 19 – “Exhibits”).
Regarding the rest of the brands related to Fetzer Vineyards of Concha y Toro, which include the brands “Fetzer”, “Bonterra”, “Jekel”, “Sanctuary” and “Bel Arbor” among others, their distribution will be handled directly by Fetzer Vineyards through the creation of an internal unit of Sales and Marketing.

The Share Capital of Excelsior Wine Company, LLC is US$ 1,000,000. VCT USA, Inc. contributed US$ 500,000 at the date of Incorporation. VCT USA, Inc. has 50 Shares, which correspond to 50% of the Share Capital of Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. Viña Concha y Toro S.A. is the indirect owner of 50% of Excelsior Wine Company, LLC as it is the sole owner of VCT USA, Inc.
At the end of 2011, VCT & DG Mexico, a joint venture between Concha y Toro and Digrans SA (the distributor for the Mexican market) was established. VCT & DG Mexico will start operations in the first half of 2012 and it will take care of the distribution in Mexico. This joint venture is 51% owned by Concha y Toro and 49% owned by Digrans.
The Company continued its integration strategy in 2012 by establishing two new subsidiaries: one based in Canada and another based in South Africa to serve Africa and Middle East markets. In 2013 the Company created a new office in Shangai (China) to serve the Chinese market.
Business Strategy
Concha y Toro’s business strategy seeks to sustain attractive growth rates and achieve an even greater brand penetration and visibility in the different markets. The Company has therefore developed a wide range of products with which to participate in all market segments, offering high-quality wines at competitive prices.
Concha y Toro has focused specially on growth in the premium category, a very attractive segment due to its growth potential and prices, which have enabled it to improve the sales mix and increase its average sales price.
Following this strategy, the Company has invested around Ch$389 billion (not including capitalized interest) over the last ten years in land, vineyards, infrastructure and other wine business, in order to increase its own production, this figure includes Ch$112 billon of the Fetzer acquisition in 2011. There has also been a constant development of new products, investigation into new grape varieties and incorporation of new grape-producing valleys.
In the commercial area, the global distribution network has been strengthened with the opening of the Company’s own distribution offices in key markets.
At the same time, it has developed in Argentina the same business model as used in Chile. Viña Trivento seeks sustained growth for its exports, reflecting the penetration of Argentine wines in the principal markets.
In 2012, the Company made approximately Ch$28,309 million (approximately US$59.0 million) of capital investments, it included new vineyards, development of new vineyards, increasing the vinification and cellar capacity and buying new agriculture machinery. The estimated capital expenditure budget for 2013 would be around Ch$31,300 million, to support expected future growth in sales through planting of new vineyards and expanding production capacity. Investments mainly comprise acquiring and 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, however, this figure is preliminary and still needs to be approved by the board of directors. The Company expects to continue planting wine vines and developing the corresponding infrastructure needed on certain properties owned by the Company in Chile and the United States. 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.

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 approximately 4,345 kilometers (2,650 miles) north to south, but is 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 of 30° to 50°, in which virtually all of the world’s wine-producing areas are located. For example, California’s vineyards are located at approximately 34° to 38° latitude north and Australia’s vineyards at 32° to 40° latitude south. France’s vineyards are farther north between 40° and 51° latitude north.
The climate of Chile’s Central Zone is defined as temperate Mediterranean with an extended dry season. Rainfall mainly occurs during wintertime, with annual averages of 300 mm to 700 mm. Rainfall is strongly influenced by the El Niño and La Niña phenomena. 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 nine principal wine-growing regions in Chile. These regions include, from north to south: Limarí, Aconcagua, Casablanca, San Antonio, Maipo, the Rapel Valley sub-regions of Cachapoal and 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 in the summer. This type of climatic condition is essential for growing “wine quality” grapes. See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Vineyards.”
Limarí Valley. Limarí is a transversal valley that runs from east to west, from the Andes to the Pacific and is situated 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Santiago. It is a fairly narrow valley bounded by small mountainous chains to the north and south; its main features are sedimentary and mineral soils and a semi-arid climate with strong marine influence, particularly 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.
Aconcagua Valley. Aconcagua Valley is located approximately 90km (56 miles) to the north of Santiago. The Aconcagua River is the main source of irrigation for the fertile lands around and thus permits our grapes to be harvested in alluvial soils. This zone is known for its benign Mediterranean weather, in which the high temperatures during the day contrast harmonically with colder nights. Some regions of this valley have been recognized as ideal for the production of red wine varieties, due to the pleasantly warm temperatures, while the coastal areas’ marine cooling breezes are suitable for the production of white wines.
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 particular climate, specially its heavy marine weather 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. San Antonio 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 favorite 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 climate, with a dry summer and high daily temperature variations due to a 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.
| 17 |
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 toward 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 varietals that call for a delayed harvest, such as Carmenere. Irrigated by the Rapel and Cachapoal rivers, its soils have an alluvial origin and are deep and rich. Most of this valley’s production is geared toward 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 Tinguiririca River. The valley is renowned for growing a wide range of grape varieties, where the Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere varietals 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. The climate and soil conditions in the valley are suitable for the production of a wide variety of premium wines.
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 April or May. Harvest occurs between March and May, 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.
Luján de Cuyo Region. Luján de Cuyo is located in the upper part of the Mendoza River, 22 kilometers (13.7 miles) to the south of Mendoza city. The altitude in this area ranges form 650 to 1,060 meters (from 2,132 to 3,478 feet) above sea level. Together with Maipú, it constitutes a traditional grape-growing region known as “First Zone”. This First Zone is excellent for growing red varietals, Malbec in particular. Its soil is alluvial and sandy, somewhat organically poor but with very good drainage characteristics. Day and nighttime temperatures vary by approximately 14ºC, which favors the production of red wines.
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, next to Luján de Cuyo. Its altitude is 790 meters (2,592 feet) above sea level. The area is suitable for the production of red grapes such as Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.
| 18 |
Tunuyán Region. Tunuyán is located 80 kilometers (49 miles) southwest of Mendoza city and, together with Tupungato and San Carlos, forms the Uco Valley. This valley rises to 1,400 meters (4,593 feet) above sea level, the highest grape-growing altitudes in Mendoza. Because of the altitude and proximity to the Andes, the Uco Valley has a cooler climate than Maipú Valley, which makes this region oriented towards the production of white varietals and certain red ones. Daytime and nighttime temperatures vary by approximately 25ºC, an ideal range for the development of optimum color and tannins in the grapes. Its soils are stony, sandy and very permeable, lacking in drainage or salinity problems.
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. Elegant whites and early ripening reds grow well here. Syrah and Pinot Noir are popular examples of grapes grown in this area.
La Consulta-San Carlos Region. San Carlos region is located 110 kilometers (68 miles) southwest of Mendoza. The altitude in this area ranges from 1,000 to 1,200 meters (from 3,280 to 3,937 feet) above sea level. The area is well suited for red grapes such as Malbec.
Rivadavia Region. The Rivadavia region is located 80 kilometers (49 miles) southeast of Mendoza and is part of the East Mendocino region. Its altitude is 660 meters (2,165 feet) above sea level in a zone of sandy soil with very good drainage characteristics. The average temperature is higher than in the First Zone and Uco Valley 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.
San Martín Region. San Martín is located 50 kilometers (31 miles) to the southeast of Mendoza. Altitudes in this zone average 640 to 750 meters (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 during winter.
Wine Producing Regions – United States. The Company believes that the wine regions of California are capable of producing world-class wines and will complement the export products currently being made in Chile and Argentina.
Mendocino Region. With an estimated 25% of its total vineyards recognized as Certified Organic, Mendocino County holds the distinction of being the nation’s pacesetter for “green wine” production. Situated just north of Sonoma County and roughly 90 miles north of San Francisco, Mendocino makes up a vital - if not always well-known - part of California’s expansive North Coast appellation. Thanks to its consistently cool climate, Mendocino is home to some of the country’s foremost sparkling wine producers. Pinot Noir is also a big player in Mendocino.
San Luis Obispo Region. Midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the San Luis Obispo-wine region is comprised of three pristine viticulture areas: the Edna Valley, Arroyo Grande Valley and Avila Valley. Most wineries are well known for their hand-crafted bottlings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, Zinfandel and more. The marine influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean provides a mild summer and warm fall, resulting in an unusually long growing season. Combined with the region’s rocky volcanic soils, these growing conditions produce fruit with intense varietal character and complex flavors that are typically found in the world’s greatest wine regions.
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.
| 19 |
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 125 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 materially 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 enhanced the image of the Chilean wine industry, by providing for better information, quality and transparency for the consumer. The Company has adopted most of the controls set forth in the decree and continues to benefit from the enhanced image of the Chilean wine industry.
B. 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 at the beginning of the 1990s. To this end, 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.
As of December 2012, the Company had approximately 12,173 arable hectares (approximately 30,068 acres) on 44 owned and 7 leased vineyards in the Limarí, Aconcagua, Casablanca, San Antonio, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curicó and Maule Valleys of the Central Zone in Chile, on 8 vineyards in the Maipú, Tupungato, Rivadavia, San Carlos, Luján de Cuyo and San Martín regions, all located in Mendoza, Argentina, and on 16 vineyards in Mendocino and San Luis Obispo in California. As of December 2012, more than 88% of the arable land owned or leased by the Company was planted with wine-producing grapes in various stages of maturity. Approximately 67% 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. In Argentina, 45% of the Company’s vineyards are planted with the Malbec variety, in line with the demand for Argentine wines in the export markets, especially in the U.S. market. Approximately 66% of the Company’s planted hectares in United States are planted primarily with three types of noble grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. The Company believes that with the plantings of these noble grape varieties in Chile, Argentina and United States, 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.
| 20 |
The Company’s remaining land under cultivation is planted mainly with Syrah, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Viognier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Sangiovese grapes.
The Company expects that the vines planted in 2009 will be in full production in 2013.
The table below shows the Company’s currently-producing and newly-planted vineyards by valley as of December 2012.

| (2) | 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. |
| (3) | The Company has leased one vineyard with 72 arable hectares since 1993 from Sociedad Protectora de la Infancia (“Protectora”),
an unaffiliated, non-profit institution. The lease of this vineyard expires in 2013; however, the lease is cancelable by Protectora
with one year’s notice and payment of a penalty. In 2004 the Company leased an 80.6 hectare vineyard in production, from
Viñedos Emiliana, this lease expires in 2013. In 2006, the Company leased another vineyard from Viñedos Emiliana
with approximately 112 hectares in production; this lease expires in 2018. |
| (4) | Since 2008 Viña Cono Sur leased two vineyards in Colchagua valley comprising of 104.5 arable hectares. |
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 helps to minimize the agricultural risks inherent in its operations.
| 21 |
Although Chilean winters are relatively mild, Chilean vineyards have suffered frost damage in the past; Generally, September and October are the most likely periods for frost damage, especially in areas closest to the Andes Mountains. The Company tries to protect its grapes against risk from frost through various preventive techniques, including the use of helicopters and stationary propellers to raise the temperature of the air by hovering over vineyards. The Company has also taken steps to protect against 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 at the beginning of this report, 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, with 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 and aromatic dessert wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling grapes that were 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.
| 22 |
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. Casillero del Diablo and Cono Sur are sparkling premium wines made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The Company also produces a standard sparkling wine made from Chardonnay, Riesling and Chenin Blanc and a Sparkling Moscato made from Moscatel grapes.
Popular Wine. The Company produced approximately 72% 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 2012, approximately 65% of the grapes used in the production of premium, varietal and bi-varietal wines were purchased from third parties. In addition, the Company purchased grapes and bulk wine required to produce approximately 72% of its popular wines. Prevailing prices for grapes at harvest time reflect market conditions.
Company Vineyards. In 2012, approximately 35% of the Company’s production of premium, varietal and bi-varietal wines was 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, specially in the premium category, in order to support the volume growth and to be able to improve and control the quality of its wines. 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 72% of its popular wines, the Company buys grapes from approximately 937 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 rigorous criteria similar to that which 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 2012, the Company had long-term contracts with up to approximately 27% 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. The Company’s technical department approves such wine purchases. Payments are traditionally made in ten interest-free monthly installments.

Vinification
The Company seeks to use the latest technology in all areas of vinification while maintaining the wine-making traditions of its founders. The Company has twelve wine-making plants in Chile which turn grapes into premium, varietal and bi-varietal wines. The locations of these plants and their production capacity in 2012 are shown below. Additionally, the Company leases plants, mostly to vinify generic grapes for the production of popular wines.
In Argentina, Trivento owns two plants for the vinification and aging of its wines. Additional capacity to meet its vinification needs is leased from third parties.
Fetzer in the U.S. owns two plants for the vinification and aging of its wines in Paso Robles and Hopland.

The Company uses a combination of epoxy-lined cement tanks, stainless steel tanks and French and American oak barrels to ferment, age and store its wine. As of December 2012, the Company’s total storage and fermentation capacity in Chile was approximately 361 million liters. Total owned capacity in Argentina was 31 million liters. Trivento rents additional storage facilities, as needed, for its operation. In the United States total storage and fermentation capacity was approximately 46 million liters.

The Company uses American and French oak barrels for the production of all its premium wines, except Late Harvest. Although the use of oak barrels increases the Company’s winemaking costs, the Company is certain that it enhances the quality of its premium wines. Oak barrels are purchased in several sizes and are treated prior to delivery in accordance with the Company’s needs. Oak barrels are used for up to two years to produce the highest quality premium wines, such as Don Melchor and are then used for another five years to enhance other wines. As of December 2012, the Company had more than 82,000 European and American oak barrels.
French oak barrels are used to make the Company’s premium Don Melchor, Carmin de Peumo, Gravas del Maipo, Amelia, Terrunyo, Marqués de Casa Concha and Trio brand wines, while American oak barrels are used for its premium Casillero del Diablo brand wine. Most of the Company’s stainless steel tanks are fitted with cooling systems to prevent wine from losing quality at higher temperatures. All of the Company’s stainless steel tanks for use during fermentation 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 three bottling plants near the Santiago metropolitan area: Pirque, Lo Espejo and Vespucio plants and a plant in Lontué. The Pirque bottling plant, located 28 kilometers from Santiago, is the Company’s principal bottling plant and a large amount of the Company’s premium, varietal, bi-varietal and sparkling wines are bottled there. The plant has seven bottling lines (six of them automatic, and one manual) accommodating bottles of 1.5 liter, 1 liter, 750 milliliter, 375 milliliter and 187 milliliter capacities. In addition the plant has one bag-in-box line producing 2 and 3 liters capacity formats. The facility in Pirque is equipped with the most advanced bottling and labeling equipment available and has an installed capacity of 14 million liters per month when operating three eight hour shifts per day, six days a week.
In March 2007, the Company leased a bottling plant from Viña Canepa. This plant has five bottling lines with a capacity of 4.5 million liters per month when operating three eight hour shifts per day, six days a week. This plant is located in Lo Espejo, in Santiago.
During 2007 the Company added a new bottling plant and logistic center—the Vespucio plant. This bottling plant includes a modern bottling line imported from Italy with a nominal capacity of 12 thousand bottles per hour when bottling 750 milliliter bottles, and 8 thousand bottles per hour when bottling 1.5 liter bottles,. This bottling line is specially designed to handle large orders.
The Company’s bottling plant in Lontué, located 200 kilometers from Santiago, bottles wine in five liter glass jugs and in 0.5 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 has three Tetra Pak packaging machines with an installed capacity of 16.9 million liters per 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 49.96% of the principal cork supplier, Industria Corchera. See Item 7 — “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions.” Labels are produced in Chile. 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 Company has four warehouses for finished wine with the following capacities: Pirque - 306,000 cases; the Vespucio logistic center - 335,000 cases; the Santa Rosa warehouse - 200,000 cases and the Lo Espejo plant - 358,000 cases.
Domestic Distribution. The Company has its own direct distribution capacity through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Comercial Peumo. Comercial Peumo has a network of 15 regional offices to service the entire Chilean national territory and 14 Distribution Centers. Its sales force is made up of 157 salespeople, 40 supervisors, 2 business managers, 2 regional sales managers and 4 sales managers by distribution channel. 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 approximately 12.3% and 11.4% of the Company’s domestic sales in 2012.
| 26 |
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 an eight truck fleet, with a complement of trailers and tanks that had transported 122 million liters in 2012 between the wine storage locations and the bottling plants.
Company Sales - Chilean Markets
Domestic Wine Sales. The Company’s domestic sales in liters, excluding sales of bulk wine, in 2010, 2011 and 2012 were approximately 70.4 million liters, 65.1 million liters and 61.9 million liters, respectively, resulting in gross revenues of Ch$59,100 million, Ch$61,998 million and Ch$61,573 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 2012, sales of bulk wine represented 0.2% of total wine sales in the domestic market.
The Company is the largest wine producer in Chile and according to AC Nielsen, in 2012, the Company had the largest share of the domestic market with a 29.6% share in terms of volume and a 27.4% 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 in constant Chilean pesos and liters for each of the calendar years indicated:

The Chilean wine market can be divided into segments based on the price of a 750 ml bottle. The Company targets the following market segments: popular wines with prices ranging from Ch$500–1000 per liter; bi-varietal (blend) wines with prices ranging from Ch$1000–1,500; varietal wines with prices ranging from Ch$1,890–2,499; premium wines with prices ranging from Ch$3,690–5,000; super premium with prices between Ch$6,990–9,990; and ultra premium with prices over Ch$10,000.

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 Tarapacá S.A. (“San Pedro”), Bodegas y Viñedos Santa Carolina S.A., Viña Undurraga S.A., Viña Errázuriz S.A. and Cousiño Macul 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. For the Chilean industry in 2012, Tetra Brik sales represented approximately 47.4% 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. For the two month period ended March, the ratio of popular wine price to beer price increased from 1.49 in March 2011 to 1.22 in March 2012, mainly due to an increase in wine prices. In the face of increased competition by other beverages and in order to continue gaining market share, the Company has maintained its marketing efforts in the popular wine segment. See Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Domestic Marketing Strategies.”

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 2012, we saw increases in sales of the Company’s premium wines. We also increased prices for our popular wines, in line with the objective of improving the profitability of our line of products.
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 2012, the greatest efforts in advertising were focused on strengthening the Clos de Pirque, Casillero del Diablo, Gran Reserva and Marques de Casa Concha brands in the market through mass media campaigns, including television, radio and press.
Domestic Sales – Other Products. In the past few years, Comercial Peumo—the distribution subsidiary for the Chilean local market—has entered into new non-wine businesses, specially in the liquor and beer categories. These categories show strong growth and present an expanded business opportunity for the subsidiary. In April of 2008, Comercial Peumo signed a distribution agreement with SAB Miller—one of the three largest brewers world wide—with the aim of enhancing the Company’s presence in the imported premium beer category. Accordingly, since May of 2008, Comercial Peumo has distributed, mainly in supermarkets, Miller Genuine Draft beer. In April 2009, Comercial Peumo signed a distribution agreement with Diageo Chile Limitada and commenced wholesale distribution of Diageo’s products in Chile, which include the different domestic distribution channels, except for the largest supermarket chains. The Diageo products covered by the agreement include Johnnie Walker whisky, Pampero rum, Baileys liquors, Smirnoff vodka, Gordons gin and Jose Cuervo tequila.
Comercial Peumo sales of non-wine products in 2011 and 2012 totaled Ch$24,795 million and Ch$28,391 million respectively, with its new business area contributing 28.3% and 31.5%, respectively of sales of Comercial Peumo.
Company Sales - Export Markets
According to the Exporters’ Association, exports of bottled Chilean wine totaled US$ 1,499 million and 473 million liters in 2012, representing an increase of 0.4% in value, in US dollar terms, and an increase of 0.2% in volume terms, as compared to 2011.
| 29 |
Export Sales and Competition. The Company is the largest exporter of Chilean wines on both a volume and value basis, with market share in 2012 of 23.4% and 26.7% (including bulk) respectively, according to the Exporters’ Association. The Company’s bottled wine market share by volume and US$ value was 35.4% and 31.3%, respectively. In 2012. The Company’s closest Chilean competitor in the bottled export segment, in terms of volume and US$ value, reported the equivalent of 12.8% and 10.9% in terms of volume and US$ value, 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 2005 to 2012:

Europe. In 2012, sales to Europe increased by 6.0% in volume terms to approximately 90.5 million liters or 51.6% of Company sales volume in export markets. 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 the United Kingdom, non-wine-producing countries of Western and Eastern Europe and Germany. For these countries, in 2012, the significant countries were: the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Russia. Among these countries, the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland) operate under a state-controlled system where each state purchases 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, the Company’s sales will not be adversely affected as a result. There can be no assurance, however, that such a regulatory change would not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s sales to such markets. During 2009, the Company started the operations of its own distribution subsidiaries in the Nordic countries of Sweden, Finland and Norway. These subsidiaries are responsible for the distribution of Concha y Toro, Viña Maipo, Trivento, Los Robles and Fetzer wines in these markets. Total sales in these markets in 2012 reached 9.1 million liters, representing a 6.0% increase as compared to 2011 in terms of volume.
In the United Kingdom, the Company continues to broaden direct distribution to all market segments (i.e. multiples, specialists, cash and carry, wholesalers and independent vendors) and promote on-premise consumption (e.g., sales to restaurants), mainly through its Concha y Toro, Viña Maipo, Cono Sur, Isla Negra, Trivento, Palo Alto and Fetzer brands. Total sales in the the United Kingdom in 2012 reached 49.6 million liters, representing a 8.5% increase as compared to 2011 in terms of volume.
The Company’s marketing strategy in Germany and the non-wine-producing countries of Western and Eastern Europe focuses on expanding the premium wine segment, particularly with the Casillero del Diablo brand and building brand recognition. Sales to Continental Europe increased 2.3% in volume. The Company sees great potential in this region, with the exception of important wine producing countries such as Georgia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Moldova.
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 super-premium wines to higher volume sales of premium wines in the off trade (supermarkets and wholesale chains).
United States. Sales volume to the U.S. market accounted for approximately 23.7 million liters in 2012 and 13.5% of sales volume in export markets. Volumes decreased 5.2% in 2012, this decrease in volume is mainly explained by the increase in the average price in US dollars of 6.4% during 2012. According to the Exporters’ Association. In 2012 the U.S. market represented 13.8% of total Chilean bottled exports, being the second market in volume, and the Company was the leading Chilean exporter to the United States, with a market share in volume at 38.7% of total Chilean bottled 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 and Gran Reserva Serie Riberas; premium—Trio, Casillero del Diablo, Palo Alto and Xplorador; and popular premium—the Company’s varietal wines and bi-varietals, including Sunrise, Frontera and Viña Maipo varietal wines, 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 above categories and keep the positions in the varietal categories, specially Frontera. 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.”

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, Argentina and other wine-producing countries.
Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The Company’s 2012 sales volume to Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean totaled 14.8 million liters or 8.4% 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 volume terms increased by 7.0%.
VCT & DG Mexico, a joint venture between Concha y Toro and Digrans SA (“Digrans”), established at the end of 2011, started operations in 2012 and took care of the distribution in Mexico. This joint venture is 51% owned by Concha y Toro and 49% owned by Digrans. In 2012 VCT & DG Mexico sold 2.3 million liters.
South America. In 2012, sales to South America decreased by 5.4% in volume terms to approximately 15.8 million liters or 9.0% of the Company’s total exports. Annual sales in Brazil increased 6.6% in terms of volume, as compared to 2011. The Company is currently the leading Chilean wine exporter to most of the South American countries, in most of these countries, the Company’s products are sold through exclusive local distributors, with the exception of Brazil where the Company opened a distribution subsidiary at the end of 2008, and in some countries, the Company’s secondary brands are sold by different distributors. Other significant countries in South America are Uruguay, Colombia and Peru.
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.
Canada. In 2012, the Company’s sales to Canada increased 0.5% to approximately 7.3 million liters or 4.1% of the Company’s exports. Canada is the fourth largest national export market for the Company in volume and value terms.
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. On the first half of 2012, the Company opened an office in Canada to serve the Canadian market.
Asia. The Asian market accounted for approximately 19.0 million liters in 2012, equal to 10.8% by volume of the Company’s exports. In 2012, sales volume to Asia increased 21.2% and 27.1% in value consistent with our objective of increasing sales in terms of value at a faster pace than volume. Japan, China, Hong Kong and South Korea grew in 2012 in terms of volume, is important to mention that the growth in Japan was positively affected by a lower comparison basis due the earthquake in 2011 in that country. In 2012, the continued work on brand building and promotional support was fundamental for our strategy of increasing the Company’s presence and value in the region. In 2010, the Company opened it’s own local regional distribution company based in Singapore which has been fundamental for the performance in Asia and in 2013 the company opened a comercial office in China, a market that the company considers with a great potential.
Other. The Company’s 2012 sales to countries in Africa and elsewhere totaled 4.4 million liters or 2.5% of the Company’s exports by volume. The largest market in this category is Mozambique. The first quarter of 2012 the Company opened an office in South Africa to serve this market.
| 33 |
Bulk Wine Exports. In 2012, the Company sold 912 thousand liters of bulk wine overseas representing 0.5% of its exports by volume. 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 135 countries by independent distributors, including four governmental liquor authorities. In most countries, the Company sells wine through a second and third distributor under the brand names of its subsidiaries Cono Sur, Maipo and Canepa. The Company sells mostly “F.O.B. Chilean port” to its distributors in export markets.
In 2012, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Canada and Brazil were the Company’s five largest national export markets and accounted for 53.0% of the Company’s exports by volume and 48.9% by value. The Company believes that its success in export markets is based on developing good relationships with established distributors and the good price-to-quality ratio 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 was Banfi, which imported and re-sold the Company’s products to distributors who service all 50 states. Banfi was the Company’s largest single customer in 2010, purchasing approximately 2.8 million cases of wine which represented 15.3% and 13% of the Company’s Chilean export sales by volume and value, respectively. With the creation of Excelsior Wine Company LLC, in July 2011, a joint venture between Concha y Toro and Banfi, only 49.2% of the bottled exports volume (including Argentina) is sold by independent distributors. Sales to the Company’s five largest distributors, excluding Banfi, represented 10.4% in 2011 and 11.0% in 2012.
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 the Nordic countries). Sales to government liquor authorities represented 9.2% and 12.1% of the Company’s total export sales (including Argentina) by volume and value, respectively, in 2012. In all provinces in Canada, the Company operates with agents that work on a commission basis and are responsible for promotion and public relations. The exceptions are Alberta and British Columbia where the local liquor boards are buying from our agents or distributors.
Own Distribution Subsidiaries. In the United Kingdom, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Concha y Toro UK distributes all brands of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Concha y Toro, Cono Sur and Isla Negra, Viña Maipo, Palo Alto and Trivento.
In 2008, Concha y Toro established distribution subsidiaries in Brazil, Sweden, Finland and Norway in order to strengthen its sales in those countries. These subsidiaries started their operations during the first quarter of 2009. The Nordic subsidiaries commercialize all of the Group brands including the Argentine portfolio with the exception of Cono Sur and Canepa. In Brazil, a third party distributor also sells some brands of the Company. In 2010, the company established a distribution subsidiary for the asian market, based in Singapore, which began trading in the last quarter of 2010. In the third quarter of 2011 Viña Concha y Toro S.A., through its subsidiary VCT USA, Inc. subscribed to an agreement with Banfi Vintners, former distributor of Concha y Toro’s product in United States, to create a new company between them, named Excelsior Wine Company, LLC, which sarted operations in August 2011. In 2011 a new subsidiary located in Mexico, was created, VCT & DG Mexico SA de CV, as a joint venture between Concha y Toro and Digrans, the former distributor in Mexico which will began operations in first half of 2012 and will take care of the distribution in Mexico.
During 2012 the Company established two new subsidiaries: one is based in Canada and the other is based in South Africa to serve the Africa and Middle East markets. In the begining of 2013, the Company opened a new office in Shangai to serve the Chinese market.

Export Marketing Strategy
Concha y Toro’s export strategy seeks to sustain attractive growth rates and achieve increasingly higher brand penetration and visibility in different markets and increase consumer awareness. With this goal in mind the Company has developed a broad product portfolio which participates in all market segments by offering high quality wines at competitive prices, with growing brand preference and ample recognition from influential wine critics.
At the same time the Company has diversified its market scope by developing a portfolio of subsidiary wineries with the aim of reaching more consumers and strengthening its distribution channels. Its main subsidiaries are Viña Cono Sur, Viña Maipo, Viña Palo Alto, Viña Maycas del Limarí, Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos and Fetzer.
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 has a strong distribution network and has developed long term relationships with its international distributors. This has enabled it to invest together with its business partners in brand building and market growth.
The Company may from time to time seek to strengthen distribution of its products by taking a direct role in distribution within a region or country. The Company may also take these steps in order to increase penetration and knowledge of these markets.
The Company 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 perception of consumers, specially in the United Kingdom and the United States, with respect to the quality of Chilean wines, thereby 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 seeking consumer engagement, including on-premise sales (e.g., sales to restaurants). |
The Company believes that there is a trend towards the consumption of premium wines from Chile 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 or the results of any other quarter.

Company Sales - Argentina
Argentine Business. In 1996, Concha y Toro began operations in Argentina with the establishment of Trivento winery, located in Mendoza. In recent years the subsidiary has experienced important growth and has become Argentina’s fourth largest export winery in terms of volume, with a 6.0% of market share of all bottled wine exported from Argentina in 2012. The operating assets of Trivento primarily include a total of 1,210 arable hectares of land, with 1,154 hectares planted, cellars with a capacity of 31 million liters and other wine-making equipment. In 2012, Trivento had revenues of Ch$27,235 million and sales of 1.8 million cases.
Trivento exports amounted to Ch$ 16,642 million and shipments of 1.2 million cases, representing a 0.2% decrease in value and a decrease of 6.3% in the volume exported. This situation is partly driven by the increases in the average price, as a consequence of the repositioning of the brand in higher price points. Trivento also exported 2.0 million liters of bulk wine, some of them were shipments to Company’s subsidiaries and bottled under Company’s brands.
Domestic sales were Ch$ 6,581 million in 2012 and Ch$ 7,462 million in 2011, with a volume of 590 thousand cases in 2012 and 679 thousand cases in 2011. This decrease is partly explained by the domestic economic conditions. Sales in the domestic Argentine market are concentrated in the popular bottled category and represent less than 1% of total Argentine domestic consumption.

Company Sales – United States
Fetzer. The operating assets of Fetzer primarily include a total of 888 hectares of land, with 463 hectares planted, cellars with a capacity of 46 million liters and other wine-making equipment. In 2011 Fetzer had revenues of Ch$41,429 million and sales of 1.8 million cases and in 2012, had revenues of Ch$54,066 million and sales of 2.5 million cases, this increase is mainly because Fetzer was acquired on April 15th, 2011.
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.

Excelsior Wine Company. On July 13, 2011, Viña Concha y Toro S.A., through its subsidiary VCT USA, Inc. subscribed an agreement with Banfi Vintners, former distributor of Concha y Toro’s product in United States, to create a new company between them, called Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. to be registered in Delaware State, US. Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. will be managed by Banfi and VCT USA, Inc. Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. imports and distributes in the United States the Chilean wines of Concha y Toro and the Argentine wines of Trivento. Also, it distributes the brands “Little Black Dress” and “Five Rivers” that belong to our subsidiary in California, Fetzer Vineyards. Sales of Excelsior totaled Ch$ 24,524 million in 2011 and Ch$ 58,447 million in 2012. The Company in 2011 recognized participation in net income from Excelsior in accordance with the equity method, of Ch$519 million and Ch$1,154 million in 2011 and 2012.
Sustainability
The Company considers sustainable development to be an important issue that should be fully addressed on a daily basis within the entire organization. The Sustainable Development Area was created in 2008 to respond to the environmental and social information that was increasingly requested by its international customers, especially those in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and others. Those requirements were primarily related to the estimation of the Carbon Footprint.
The Carbon Footprint became the area’s first initiative and was quantified for the first time in 2008, measuring operations of 2007. This was made with the aid of external consultants (Deumann) and verified by an independent third-party (PricewaterhouseCoopers). It is currently quantified in house by the Sustainable Development Area and verified by Ernst & Young (E&Y).
The organizational and operational scope of the measurement has grown systematically and has incorporated more emissions sources to improve and adjust the calculation to more accurate values. In 2007, only the activities of Viña Concha y Toro were considered, and emissions were 59,000 tons of CO2. In 2008, the activities of Comercial Peumo were included and emissions reached 62,000 tons of CO2. In 2009, more sources were added and included the activities of Viña Cono Sur, the Argentine subsidiary Trivento, dry supplies (glass, cardboard), and the air and land transportation of finished product, which brought the carbon footprint to 209,000 tons of CO2. Finally, in 2010, Tetra Pak containers and business trips were included, bringing the value to 392,000 tons of CO2. During 2011 are incorporated the other significant inputs for the measurement, as the bag in box, corks, capsules, labels and caps, also added new CO2 emission sources such as soil emissions, national distribution of finished product, third grape transport, purchase of inputs oenological as tartaric acid and bentonite and buying grapes. The footprint was verified by E&Y and reached a total of 445,000 tonnes of CO2.
| 37 |
For 2012 the quantification concluded in March, which will incorporate two sources, purchase of wooden boxes, and transport of own grape. This will enable the Company to responsibly establish reduction goals and comprehensive carbon management.
In 2010 Viña Concha y Toro became the first winery in the world to estimate its Water Footprint. The calculations were made in conjunction with Fundación Chile and the Water Footprint Network. The results indicate that the winery uses 40% less water than the average estimate of the global industry to produce a glass of wine. Indeed, the value of the water footprint of a glass of wine (125 ml) is 71.6 liters / glass, which is less than the 120 liters / glass projected global average Water Footprint Network and in accordance with the organization’s own methodology. During 2011 a second estimate of the Water Footprint took place and the results are presented in 2012, they show that the value of the Water Footprint of a glass of wine is 90 liters / glass, this growth is because the scope estimation increases by including the full range of production. As innovation a calculation tool was developed specifically for the Vineyard, which considers local conditions we have in our vineyards.
Although there have been many projects completed over time, such as the Lightweight Bottle Project (2009) and In-Plant Energy Efficiency (2010), Sustainability Certification Code (2012), among others, the most significant project correspond to the development of a Sustainability Strategy for Concha y Toro, developed with the aim of integrating sustainability into the business strategy of the Company, this starts in October of 2011 and ended in 2012. This project had external support (Ernst & Young).
The risks associated with not having a plan of this type are that the market begins to generate requests that the company is unable to address in the time required. The requirements on sustainability are growing, reason why the company has faced the issue proactively
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 which 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.
| 38 |
In 1994, the Chilean Congress enacted the Law No. 19300, which was recently amended by Law No. 20417 published in January 2010 (the “Environmental Framework Law”). The Environmental Framework Law 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. The Environmental Framework establishes the basic framework and regulates all major activities that may likely have an environmental impact. It also contemplates an Environmental Impact Assessment System (EIA System).
The Environmental Framework Law also establishes environmental liability standards, according to which perpetrators of environmental damage are liable to compensate the victims and restore the environment.
A new Environmental Ministry having the responsibility of defining all environmental policies and strategies, was formally created (pursuant to Law 20417). The Ministry has an Under Secretariat with six different divisions to undertake various environmental matters. Along with the new Ministry, the law also created the Environmental Impact Evaluation Service (EIES), which is in charge of environmental authorizations and permits and coordinates the actions of all governmental entities that are required to be involved in the EIA System.
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.
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, Trio, Casillero del Diablo, Sunrise, Frontera, Tocornal, Maipo, Fressco and San José. Trademarks registered by subsidiaries include Cono Sur, Isla Negra, Palo Alto, Maycas del Limarí 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. As a result of the Fetzer acquisition the Company acquired a portfolio of brands which includes: Fetzer, Bonterra, Five Rivers, Jekel, Sanctuary and the license of the brand Little Black Dress wines. 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.

The Company owns 16,257 hectares and leases 816 hectares of land throughout Chile and owns 1,288 hectares of land in Argentina and 888 in the United States. Of these, approximately 12,173 hectares are suitable for planting vineyards and as of December 2012, 10,750 hectares of which were planted with vineyards. A majority of the remaining hectares are comprised of roads, hills 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 described in the section Item 4 — “Information on the Company — Business Overview — Vineyards.”, the Company leases 807 hectares, comprising three leases in the Maipo Valley, three leases in the Casablanca Valley and two leases in Colchagua Valley for its Cono Sur winery. All of these are long term leases expiring between 2013 and 2036.
As for equipment, the Company’s main assets include harvesting machinery, grape crushers, concrete and stainless steel tanks and barrels. As of December 31, 2012, Concha y Toro’s aggregated winemaking and cellar capacity in Chile was approximately 360.9 million liters including 45 thousand barrels. In the Mendoza region, Viña Trivento owns two vinification and cellar facilities and a bottling plant with a total capacity of 30.7 million liters and in the United States Fetzer owns two facilities with a total capacity of 45.9 million liters.
Comercial Peumo leases warehouses in Iquique, Antofagasta and Los Angeles for distribution. The Company leases 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 plants or systems, owned or contracted to third parties, in all of its plants. During 2011 and 2012, the Company invested in water treatment plants resources amounting to Ch$730 million and Ch$913 million, respectively. Total investment in assets oriented towards the improvement of the environment totaled Ch$2,334 million and Ch$2,137 million in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Not Applicable.
| 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 and a winery in the United States, Fetzer. The Company is Chile’s leading bottled wine exporter, top-selling winery in the domestic market, number four bottled wine exporter by volume from Argentina and number ten in volumes sales in United States.
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 and larger efforts to market wines 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.
| 41 |
Significant factors which impacted the Company’s operating results include sales development in both foreign and domestic markets, the pricing of its principal raw material—the cost of grapes—and exchange rates.
Consolidated sales in 2012 were Ch$450,544 million, representing a 6.6% increase over 2011. A positive performance in the external markets contributed to this result.
Company sales outside of Chile represented 78.8% of the sales revenues and were denominated in foreign currency, mainly in United States dollars, Sterling Pounds, Euros, Canadian dollars, Argentine pesos, Brazilian reais and Swedish and Norwegian crowns. In general, the strengthening of the Chilean peso against these currencies has had an adverse impact in the results of the Company. To mitigate the impact of this scenario as much as possible, the Company is applying a multi-currency strategy, in line with its diversification in sales and takes forward positions as part of its hedging strategy.
In 2012, Concha y Toro had a Profit (loss) attributable to equity holders of controlling interest of Ch$30,022 million, representing a 40.5% decrease from 2011. This result is mainly explained by the claim payment of the earthquake insurance in 2011, resulting in incremental income of Ch$19,555 million before taxes.
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 and a permanent sales and marketing investment in an increasing competitive industry.

Year ended December 31, 2012 compared
to year ended December 31, 2011
Figures expressed in Chilean pesos (Ch$)
Revenues. Total revenues increased 6.6% to Ch$ 450,544 million from Ch$422,735 million in 2011. Growth was led by the incorporation of Fetzer, an increase in prices in export markets and a good performance in Chile for other products.
Domestic Market Wine. Total domestic wine sales (including bulk) decreased by 1.9% to Ch$61,673 million in 2012 from Ch$62,896 million in 2011. Bottled domestic wine sales decreased 0.7% to Ch$61,573 million in 2012 from Ch$61,998 million in 2011. This result reflects a 4.9% decrease in volumes and a 4.4% higher average price. Sales of bulk wine during the period totaled 28 thousand liters, which is equivalent to Ch$100 million.
Non premium wine sales decreased by 4.1%, partially due to the increase in average prices of 1.9%. We highlight the 12.9% growth in the premium (and above) category in value. Premium wines represented 22.9% of the bottled domestic sales in 2012 and 20.2% in 2011. This result therefore reflects the achievements of a focus on this segment which has sought to protect the value of our brands and focus ourselves strongly on wholesalers, liquor stores and trade channels (such as restaurants, caterers, hotels, bars and pubs).
According to AC Nielsen, domestic volumes for the industry showed a decrease of 4.7% during the year. In this scenario, Concha y Toro decreased its market share marginally by 0.8 percentage points in 2012, reaching a market share of 29.6% in volume terms.
Domestic Market–other products. Domestic sales of other products comprise the sales of liquors and premium beer carried out by the domestic distribution subsidiary Comercial Peumo, which totaled Ch$28,391 million in 2012. This represents a 14.5% increase, explained by the increase in volume and distribution of liquors and imported and domestic premium beer, following the addition of the Diageo liquor portfolio since May 2009.
Export Revenues. Total export sales (including sales of bulk) from Chile and sales distribution subsidiaries, totaled Ch$264,938 million, representing an increase of 1.3%.
Export sales of bottled wine increased 5.8% totaling Ch$280,184 million as compared to Ch$264,865 million in 2011. This increase was driven by a 3.1% increase in volumes sold and a 2.6% increase in average export prices in Chilean pesos. In US dollars, bottled export sales from Chile and sales distribution subsidiaries, increased 5.6% totaling US$ 576.9 million.
Despite the difficult economic environment that affected consumption in 2012, we faced increases in volumes in some markets such as the UK and Europe in general. Bottled sales in the UK increased 8.5% by volume, sales to Nordic countries increased 6.0% by volume and sales volumes to the rest of Europe increased 2.3.
Shipments to Asia grew 21.2% in volume following strong volumes in Japan, China and South Korea. In the US, sales decreased by 5.2%. Sales to Canada edged up 0.5%.
Central America/Caribbean and South America sales dropped by 7.0% and 5.4%, respectively.
Argentine Operations. Revenues from our Argentine business (it considers only wine sales) decreased 2.9% to Ch$21,669 million following a 2.3% decrease in exports and a decrease of 4.2% in domestic sales. This situation is partly driven by the increases in the average price, as a consequence of the repositioning of the brand in higher price points. For the whole year 2012, Trivento’s exports of bottled wine (excluding shipments to distribution subsidiaries) totaled 1,055,575 cases with a 7.5% volume decrease over 2011. Exports in US dollar terms decreased 2.9% to US$29.2 million.
Domestic bottled wine sales in the Argentine market totaled US$14.1 million and 590,132 cases, decreasing 8.3% in value (US dollars) and 13.0% in volume.
| 45 |
U.S.A. (Fetzer). In 2012 Fetzer wine sales totaled Ch$49,389 (US$102.9 million) considering 2,175,774 cases (excluding shipments to distribution subsidiaries) In the year wine sales of Fetzer represented 11.0% of the total sales, and 7.2% of the total bottled volume of wines sold.
Other Sales. Other revenues comprise fees for bottling services, sales of fruit and other revenues increased 8.2% to Ch$8,676 million.
Cost of Sales. For the period, the total cost of sales rose 8.1% to Ch$302,963 million (US$ 631.2 million) from Ch$ 280,157 million (US$ 583.7 million) in 2011. Cost of sales as a percentage of total sales increased to 67.2% from 66.3% mainly as a result of a higher grape cost and the effect of the Chilean peso appreciation against some export currencies.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 3.5% to Ch$147,581 million in 2012. As a percentage of sales, the gross margin moved to 32.8% from 33.7% in 2011. This change was the result of higher grape costs and the appreciation of the Chilean peso against all major export currencies.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (Distribution costs and Administrative expenses) increased 10.1% to Ch$111,590 million (US$232.5 million). As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased to 24.8% from 24.0% in 2011.
Operating Income. Operating Income (includes Gross Profit, Distribution cost and Administrative expenses and Other Income by function) decreased 39.1% to Ch$37,228 million (US$77.7 million) compared to the Ch$61,179 million (US$ 127.5 million) in 2011. As a percentage of sales, the operating margin decreased from 14.5% to 8.3% This lower gain is mainly explained by the payment of the earthquake insurance in 2011, making an extra profit of Ch$19,555 million (US$40.7 million) before taxes for that period.
Non-Operating Income. Non-operating income (includes Financial Income and Equity in income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity metod net of tax) increased to Ch$3,806 million from Ch$2,411 million in 2011.

Financial expenses in 2012 were Ch$8,792 million and in 2011, Ch$6,316 million. For more details on interest expenses, see Note 31 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign currency exchange gain (losses) and Income (expenses) by adjustment units. Foreign currency exchange gain (losses) and Income (expenses) by adjustment units produced a gain of Ch$9,591 million in 2012 compared to a gain of Ch$7,282 million in 2011. For detail on foreign exchange differences, see Note 31 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income attributable to non-controlling interest. Income attributable to non-controlling interest totaled Ch$281 million.
Profit (loss) attributable to equity holders of controlling interest. Gain (loss) attributable to equity holders of the controller for the period decreased 40.5% to Ch$ 30,022 million (US$62.5 million) from Ch$50,482 million (US$ 105.2 million).

Figures expressed in Chilean pesos (Ch$)
Revenues. Total revenues increased 13.0% to Ch$ 422,735 million from Ch$374,019 million in 2010.

Domestic Market Wine. Total domestic wine sales (including bulk) increased 5.5% to Ch$62,896 million in 2011 from Ch$59,639 million in 2010. Bottled domestic wine sales increased 4.9% to Ch$61,998 million in 2011 from Ch$59,100 million in 2010. This result reflects a 7.5% decrease in volumes and a 13.5% higher average price. Sales of bulk wine during the period totaled 1,681 thousand liters, which is equivalent to Ch$897 million.
Popular wine sales decreased 8.6%, due to the increase in average prices of 12.4%. We highlight the 20.9% growth in the premium category in value. Premium wines represented 20.2% of the bottled domestic sales in 2011 and 17.5% in 2010. This result therefore reflects the achievements of a focus on this segment which has sought to protect the value of our brands and focus ourselves strongly on wholesalers, liquor stores and trade channels (such as restaurants, caterers, hotels, bars and pubs).
According to AC Nielsen, domestic volumes for the industry showed a decrease of 2.0% during the year. In this scenario, Concha y Toro decreased its market share marginally by 0.3 percentage points in 2011, reaching a market share of 30.4% in volume terms.
Domestic Market–other products. Domestic sales of other products comprise the sales of liquors and premium beer carried out by the domestic distribution subsidiary Comercial Peumo, which totaled Ch$24,795 million in 2011.

Export sales of bottled wine increased 1.9% totaling Ch$264,865 million as compared to Ch$259,927 million in 2010.

In US dollars, export sales from Chile increased 6.9% totaling US$ 546.1 million.
In a difficult economic environment that affected consumption in 2011, we faced decreases in volumes in some markets such as the UK and United States. Bottled sales volumes in the UK decreased 9.1%, affected by a 7.1% increase in price in US dollars terms.
Shipments to Asia grew 9.9% following strong volumes in Japan, China and South Korea. This growth was negatively affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 2011. In the US, sales decreased by 6.4%. Sales to Canada edged up 0.5%.
Sales volumes in continental Europe increased 1.2%. Central America/Caribbean and South America sales grew 0.7% and 18.7%, respectively, with strong sales in Mexico.
Argentine Operations. Revenues from our Argentine business decreased 12.9% to Ch$22,323 million following a 14.0% decrease in exports and a decrease of 13.9% in domestic sales. This situation is partly driven by the increases in the average price, as a consequence of the repositioning of the brand in higher price points. For the whole year 2011, Trivento’s exports of bottled wine totaled 1,141,504 cases with a 25.0% volume decrease over 2010. Exports in US dollar terms decreased 9.0% to US$30.0 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 7.8% to Ch$142,578 million in 2011. As a percentage of sales, the gross margin moved to 33.7% from 35.4% in 2010. This change was the result of higher grape costs and the appreciation of the Chilean peso against all major export currencies.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
In 2012, the Company’s main source of liquidity was provided by financing activities, which amounted to Ch$48,648 million.

Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures which include additions to Property, Plant and Equipment and other permanent investments were Ch$ 28,309 million in 2012, Ch$ 139,113 million in 2011 and Ch$24,041 million in 2010. The higher capital expenditure in 2011 is related to the Fetzer acquisition, this amount was approximately Ch$112,157 million. Capital expenditures in 2012 in the agriculture area comprise the acquisition of new properties and the development and planting of vineyards in estates purchased in previous years. Investments in the oenology included the expansion of vinification and cellar capacity, acquisition of barrels and the acquisition of new cellars. In Argentina, new investment was oriented to vineyard development and cellar facilities. The estimated capital expenditure budget for 2013 would be around Ch$31,300 million (approximately US$65 million), which includes the development of the new land acquired in the previous years, increases of storage and fermentation facilities, expansion of the bottling plants and the acquisition of French and American oak barrels, for the production of all wines with an emphasis on premium and varietal wines, however, this figure is preliminary and still needs to be approved by the board of directors.

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations
Over 78% of the Company’s revenues are related to foreign sales that are denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars, Argentine pesos, Brazilian reais and Swedish and Norwegian crowns. At the same time, approximately 35% of the Company’s expenses are also denominated in foreign currency (the Company purchases part of the bottles, corks and Tetra Brik containers in prices mainly set in U.S. dollars), creating a natural currency hedge. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange agreements to minimize its exposure to the risks of changes in foreign exchange rates. See Item 11 — “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
To the extent that U.S. dollar-denominated revenues exceed U.S. dollar-denominated operating costs, the Company’s results of operations will be impacted by the difference between the changes in exchange rates and the Chilean rate of inflation.
The rates of nominal appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in 2011 and 2012 were 5.2% and 0.6% respectively, using average exchange rates.
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange agreements to minimize its exposure to the risks of changes in foreign exchange rates. The diversification of the export currencies also has contributed to reduce the foreign exchange risks. 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.”
C. 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 six months. In addition to the aging of the receivable, the Company considers historical loss experience. Other factors are also considered, including general economic environment of the wine industry. 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. For details of insurance coverage in all geographical areas, refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company believes that this is a critical accounting policy because of the judgment involved in accruing for possible loss estimates.
b) Current and Deferred Income Taxes
Our Company and each of its subsidiaries compute and pay tax on an individual tax return basis. In making the determination of whether our deferred tax assets should be recognized i.e. when it is considered probable that future tasable income will be available, 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.
| 51 |
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 to write-off deferred tax assets. 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 in Chile.
c) Inventories:
Raw material, products in-process, finished products and supplies, are initially valued at cost, subsequent to the initial recognition, these are valued at the lower value between the net realizable value and the cost initially recorded. Inventories of wine in bulk are valued at weighted average price, determined through the system known as absorption costing, which implies adding to acquisition direct costs and/or grapes production cost those indirect costs incurred in the agriculture process, and direct and indirect costs of the wine production process.
The Company and its subsidiaries recorded impairment for obsolescence of raw material and supplies based on technical reports and on turnover level of stocks maintained and /or from the evaluation of its future utilization.
The company considers the determination of the obsolescence of inventories as a critical accounting policy.
d) Goodwill:
Goodwill generated by the acquisition of investments is not subject to amortization and at each year-end impairment testing is conducted; and if indications exist that the recoverable amount may decrease to an amount lower than net recorded cost, an impairment loss adjustment is made. The allocation to those Cash Generating Units (CGUs) for impairment testing purposes which are expected to obtain benefits from the business combination from which the goodwill arose. 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 comprise inherent uncertainties. However, the assumptions used are consistent with our internal planning. Therefore, the management periodically evaluates and updates the estimates based on the conditions that influence these variables. If the assets are considered impaired, they are written down to fair value as appropriate. We performed the impairment tests of our CGU’s and concluded that no impairment charge was necessary.
e) Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, Plant and Equipment and Amortized Intangibles: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment and amortizes intangibles using 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 irrigation systems. 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.
| 52 |
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 for each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) identified. If this comparison indicates that there is impairment, the amount of the impairment is calculated by comparing of fair values against, discounted cash flows to determine the recoverable amount between them and then compare to de carrying amount. (See Note 2.14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
f) Investments in foreign subsidiaries:
The Company has determined that its functional currency is the Chilean peso and the functional currency of each of its subsidiaries has been determined by each entity based on the economic environment in which they operate, The term foreign currency is defined as any currency other than the Chilean peso.
The definition of this functional currency relates to the fact that it is the currency that manifests or represents the transactions, facts and conditions that lie behind and are relevant to handle the operations of the Company. For this purposes, it has been considered the analysis of variables such as: sale price of its products, relevant markets for the company, financing sources, among others.
In consolidating, items from the statement of comprehensive income corresponding to entities with functional currency other than the Chilean peso have been translated to Chilean pesos using the average exchange rates. Assets and liabilities from the statement of financial position have been translated using the year-end exchange rates. Exchange differences related to the translation of net assets of these entities have been carried to equity and have been recorded in a translation reserve in a separate line.
The Company does not use a presentation currency different than that of the functional currency in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
g) Derivatives:
Company exports sales are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars, Sterling Pounds, Euros, Canadian dollars and Brazilian Reais. Thus, the Company’s financial results could be affected due to variations in exchange rates.
Regarding the Argentine subsidiaries, a portion of sales and accounts receivable are denominated in Argentine pesos, while the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. This generates a risk associated with the devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar. In addition, a proportion of such subsidiaries’ assets in Argentina are also denominated in Argentine pesos; thus, they are impacted by the devaluation of the Argentine peso.
In order to minimize the short-term effect of the exchange rate variations on sales denominated in foreign currency, the Company has adopted a policy of attempting to balance assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. With this objective, the Company enters into forward currency contracts as a way to mitigate these risks according to the exposure of the exchange rate variations related to the currency positions.
96.7% of the global derivative instruments portfolio is comprised by contracts that qualify as hedging instruments. For accounting purposes these were subscribed by the Group Concha y Toro, within its financial risk management policy framework to mitigate the risks associated with exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations through currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps.
| 53 |
Derivatives are recorded by their fair value as of the date of the statement of the financial position. If this value is positive, these are recorded under item “Other financial assets” and if its value is negative, these are recorded within item “Other financial liabilities”, illustrating the change in its fair value in the comprehensive statement of income as described as follows, pursuant to the type of hedging to which it correspond (See Note 2.6.7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements):
| - | Fair value hedging |
| - | Cash Flow hedging |
| - | Net Investment Hedging |
h) Revenue recognition:
The Company sells to various locations around the world with varied sales terms and arrangements. Revenues from the sale of goods and services related to the Company’s lines 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 rewards 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 is probable that the economical benefits from the transaction will flow to the Company. Revenue from services is recognized considering the stage of completion at the end of the reporting period. Additionally, any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities (i.e. VAT, sales, taxes or excise) are accounted for on a net basis within revenue (See Note 2.23 of the Consolidated Financial Statements)
| i) | Biological Assets |
Within Biological Assets, the Company includes all grapevine plantations. The agricultural product (Grapes) derived from plantations under production is destined to be treated as a raw material for the wine production process.
In conformity with IAS 41, for those assets for which is not possible to determine reliably fair value, the Company has valued the grapevine plantations at its historic cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses due to impairment.
The Company depreciates its biological assets following the straight-line method on the basis of the estimated useful lives of grapevines and subjecting the value to an impairment test each year if impairment indicators exists. (See Note 2.14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
| j) | Benefits to employees |
| - | Severance Indemnities |
The Company’s management uses assumptions in order to determine the best estimate for these benefits. The valuation of these obligations is performed through an actuarial calculation. The assumptions used in this calculation include the pension rotation hypothesis, the mortality rate, the discount rate, the expected rise in remuneration and the future permanence, among others.
Actuarial gains or losses that can occur due to variations of defined pre-established obligations are directly recorded in income or losses for the year.
Actuarial gains or losses arise from the deviations between estimates and actuality of the actuarial hypothesis behavior or in the reformulation of the established actuarial hypothesis.
| 54 |
| k) | Provisions |
Provisions are recorded when related to present, legal or constructive obligations, generated as a result of a past event that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
| l) | Intangible Assets |
| - | Industrial Brand Rights |
The Company owns trademarks and other intellectual property which, as determined by the Company, are registered with applicable trademark offices and are protected under applicable intellectual property laws for a finite period of time. The Company’s trademarks and other intellectual property are recorded at the registration cost and are amortized over their useful lives.
| - | IT Programs |
Licenses for IT programs acquired are recorded at net historic cost net of amortization. These costs are amortized during its estimated useful lives.
Expenses related to the development or maintenance of IT programs are recognized as expenses when incurred.
| - | Research and development |
Research and development expenses are recognized as expenses when incurred. The Company has no significant material disbursements for these concepts during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
| - | Water Rights |
Water rights acquired by the Company correspond to usage rights associated with agricultural land and are recorded at historic cost. These are recognized at its purchase value and, given that such rights are in perpetuity, they are not amortized. However, the Company evaluates these water rights with respect to impairment on an annual basis.
Water rights prior to the Company’s transition to IFRS are presented at its value restated by inflation and reduced by the related accumulated depreciation.
| - | Easement Rights |
Rights related to easements correspond to the amounts in acquisition of rights of way, between several co-owners from the area (access to allotments, aqueduct transit, and power lines), on agricultural land of the Company, in addition to those of its subsidiary Viña Cono Sur S.A. These rights are in perpetuity, are not amortized, and are subject to “impairment test” on an annual basis, restating the value in case the related market value is lower, based on the last transactions performed by the Company.
| 55 |
D. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.
The company’s efforts in the area of research and development do not involve a significant expense as it mainly relies on Chilean and foreign companies and institutes for technical assistance and technology transfers.
Viña Concha y Toro has formed part of the Vine and Wine Business Technology Consortium (Vinnova) since 2006, together with other industry company members of Vinos de Chile A.G. (a wineries association) and the local universities Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Santiago and Universidad de Concepción. The company has channeled resources through these institutions for research in the agricultural and enological areas.
It has also carried out a joint study with Universidad de Chile for determining the levels of freshness in vineyards associated with certain Chilean river basins, which could enjoy better protection against climate change. At the international level, the company is currently developing a pilot plan for estimating its water footprint, together with the Dutch organization Water Footprint Network, which promotes the global use of water in a sustainable, equitable and efficient way.
E. Trend Information
The most significant trend affecting the Chilean wine industry and the Company’s results most recently has been the global economic downturn which has impacted wine consumption in general and especially in Europe, which is why the industry is focusing on emerging markets such as Asia, Latin America and Africa. The wine market showed adjustments in consumption during the last years, decreasing in some markets and increasing in others, with interesting commercial opportunities in new consumer areas such as Asia, Latin America and United States. The width and depth of the Concha y Toro portfolio allows to respond quickly and address market demands, and its clear branding strategy have allowed the Company to improve its sales generally.
In addition, during the past three fiscal years we have seen a strong appreciation of the Chilean peso against all major currencies with which the Company and the Chilean industry operates, with an important impact on an industry that exports around 70% of its production. On another front, the industry has faced increasing competition in both the domestic and the export markets as a result of increasing number of competitors, greater availability of wine and the different producer countries trying to enhance their positioning world wide.
In the Chilean domestic market, the Company has faced a challenging market situation of increasing competition with sluggish consumption in the popular (Tetra Brik) wines segment in favor of its main substitute, beer. Actually, according to AC Nielsen wine consumption in Chile decreased by 2.0% in 2011 and decrease by 4.7% in 2012. In this context, the Company’s efforts in this market were oriented to improving profitability. In this line, the company has focused on the premium segment, which as shown an interesting growth opportunity. The Company will continue to evaluate its domestic strategy in relation to its lower-priced wines.
In the export markets, the Company has faced increasing competition in some key markets, the global appreciation of the new world wine producers currencies has forced them to focuse on high price wines, increasing the average price and reducing their volumes. However, the Company has been able to compete successfully, with export sales increasing in value. The most important region for the Company in terms of volume for the past three years has been Europe, especially the UK. The establishment of a subsidiary in the United Kingdom has allowed the Company to strengthen its position in this market. The Company believes it is very well established in Continental Europe, the United States and Latin America.
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 United States, South Africa and Argentina.
| 56 |
F. Off - Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.

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.
B. 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. A detail of transactions realized with subsidiaries or related parties is presented in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Balances and Transactions with Related Parties–. 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 principal shareholders of the Company own directly and indirectly approximately 57.39% of Viñedos Emiliana’s outstanding capital stock and, additionally, the Company and Viñedos Emiliana have other common shareholders. Viñedos Emiliana’s six-member Board of Directors includes one of the Company’s seven directors (Rafael Guilisasti Gana). 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 2012, the Company recognized Ch$482 million in revenues from Viñedos Emiliana, or 0.11% of total revenues, including mainly revenues from sales in bottling fees and sales of raw materials. In 2012, the Company paid Viñedos Emiliana Ch$460 million in licensing fees. The Company recognized revenues from Viñedos Emiliana of Ch$814 million and Ch$928 million, in 2011 and 2010 respectively. The Company paid Viñedos Emiliana Ch$573 and Ch$295 million, in 2011 and 2010 respectively.
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 2012, 2011 and 2010 total purchases from Viñedos Emiliana totaled Ch$824 million, Ch$786 million and Ch$508 million respectively.
Frutícola Viconto (“Frutícola”). Frutícola is the Company’s principal customer for fruit. In 2012, 2011 and 2010 the Company sold Ch$10.5 million, Ch$10.0 million and Ch$9.7 million, respectively, of fruit to Frutícola for export. The Company also purchases grapes from Frutícola for vinification. In 2012 and 2010, the Company did not purchase any fruit from Frutícola In 2011 the Company purchased Ch$37.8 million of grapes from Frutícola. 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.
| 70 |
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 56.09% 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 Coopers, the Company invested a total of US$6 million. 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%. In 2008, the Company increased its ownership to 49.96%.
Industria Corchera is the primary cork supplier for the Company. The Company purchased Ch$5,280 million, Ch$5,568 million and Ch$6,853 million of cork and other raw material from Industria in 2012, 2011 and 2010 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 is director 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.

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 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company purchased an aggregate of approximately Ch$5,267 million, Ch$5,089 million and Ch$3,647 million respectively, of such goods and services from such entities, and sold grapes and other services to these entities for Ch$ 22 million in 2012, Ch$ 200 million in 2011 and Ch$ 166 million in 2010.
Other. Besides formal requirements, Title XVI and Article 147, in particular, of the Chilean Corporation Law requires any related party transaction to be in Company’s interest and subject to terms and conditions customarily prevailing in the market at the time of its approval. Directors, managers and principal officers of companies that violate Article 147 are liable for losses resulting from such violation. In addition, Article 147 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 must be immediately informed by the compromised Director to the boards of directors and shall only be approved if the absolute majority of the directors consider that the transaction is beneficial for the social interest. Chilean law requires that an interested director abstain from voting on such a transaction. If the absolute majority of the director is obliged to abstain for voting on any particular transaction, the transaction shall only be approved unanimously by the not involved directors or by an a extraordinary shareholders meeting. See Item 10 — “Additional Information — Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation— 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 147 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 147 in all transactions with related parties during fiscal year 2012.

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.

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 obliged, 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 excluding the eargings generated by Fetzer. For fiscal year 2012, interim dividends Nos. 248, 249 and 250 of Ch$3.00 per share were paid on September 28, 2012, December 28, 2012 and March 28, 2013, respectively. A final dividend No. 251 of Ch$7.1 per share was declared to pay on May 22, 2013 against the profits of the 2012 fiscal year. Total dividends disbursed against the profits of 2012 fiscal year 40% of the earnings, excluding the eargings generated by Fetzer.
For fiscal year 2013, the Board approved to pay three provisional dividends of Ch$3.0 per share, charged against the profits for fiscal year 2013. These will be paid on September, 2013, December, 2013 and March, 2014, while the remaining profits up to a limit of 40% of the earnings (excluding the eargings generated by Fetzer) shall be disbursed in May 2014.
The above detailed dividend policy is the Board’s intent; however, fulfillment thereof will be contingent on cash flows. Consequently, at the annual shareholders’ meeting, the Board shall solicit shareholder approval to modify the amounts and payment dates should the necessity arise.
The following table sets forth the dividends paid per share of common stock in respect of each of the years indicated:
| Total Dividends Paid | ||
| Fiscal year, | Ch$ per share (1) | |
| 2006 | 9.00 | |
| 2007 | 18.95 | |

| 2010 | 22.45 | |
| 2011 | 26.00 | |
| 2012 | 16.10 |
| (1) | Dividends per share are expressed in pesos and correspond to interim and final dividend charged against net income of the corresponding fiscal year. The final dividend with respect to each year is declared and paid within the first five months of the subsequent year. |

| 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 2012, trading on the Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for approximately 94% of the trading volume of the Common Stock in Chile. 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.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
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, previously filed and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1.1 to this Annual Report. See Item 19 — “Exhibits.”
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 owned 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 and only is it beneficial for the social interest.
If the conflicting interest transaction does not involve a “material amount,” the transaction shall be executed only with the previous approval of the Board of Directors. 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 March 31, 2013, approximately Ch$ 45.7 million) and exceeds 1% of the assets of the corporation, or if the amount exceeds 20,000 Unidades de Fomento (as of March 31, 2013, approximately Ch$ 457.4 million) regardless of the size of the transaction. The same procedure shall be applicable in case the transaction complies with the Company’s habitual policies and in if the Company owns directly or indirectly at least the 95% of the other party in the transaction.
If the transaction does not comply with the aforementioned scenarios it will only be able to be executed if: (i) it is immediately informed to the Board of Directors, (ii) it is approved by the Board of Directors with the abstention of involved Directors; (iii) the Transaction is informed to the next shareholders meeting. In case the majority of the directors are involved in a related transaction it will only be able to execution if it is approved unanimously by the not directors involved or by an extraordinary shareholders meeting. If the Transaction is subject to an extraordinary shareholders meeting, the Board of Directors shall appoint at least one independent advisor which shall inform the shareholders before the extraordinary shareholders meeting.
The amount of any director’s remuneration is established each year at the annual shareholders’ meeting.
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.
| 76 |
Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares. At least 30% of the Company’s annual net income 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.
According to the Company’s dividend policy, the dividends are distributed in quarterly interim payments plus a final dividend to be paid in May of the following year. 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.
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 once secure the payment of corporate indebtedness or after its actual payment.
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 no later than day after the date 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 written notice to the Company, the Superintendency of Securities and the stock exchanges in Chile where such corporation has securities registered. 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. Public notice shall be released through two publications in a newspaper of national presence as well.
Chapter XXV of the Securities Market Law was 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.
| 77 |
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. This right is eminently renounceable or transferable. 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 or extension 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.
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 less than a 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 first four months of each year. During the meetings, determinations are made relating to particular matters, which must 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;
| 78 |
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
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;
- when required by the Superintendency of Securities; and
- whenever the social interest so warrants.
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, in writing or public deed 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).
| 79 |
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. (“Rothschild S.A.”), a French company, establishing Viña Almaviva S.A. (formerly “Baron Philippe de Rothschild - Concha y Toro 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%. In 2008, the Company increased its ownership to 49.96%. 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 previously filed and is listed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report. See Item 19 — “Exhibits.” The Company and Amorim jointly own 99.93% of the capital stock of Industria Corchera.
Fetzer Vineyards. In April of 2011, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of Fetzer Vineyards from Brown-Forman Corporation. This transaction closed in April 15, 2011. The acquisition agreement related to this acquisition is included in this Annual Report as Exhibit 4.3.
Excelsior Wine Company, LLC, on July 13, 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture with Banfi Vintners (“Banfi”) former distributor of Concha y Toro’s product in United States, to create a new company between them, named Excelsior Wine Company, LLC. which will distribute in the United States the Chilean wines of Concha y Toro and the Argentine wines of Trivento. Also, it will distribute the brands “Little Black Dress” and “Five Rivers” that belong to our subsidiary in California, Fetzer Vineyards. For a discussion of Excelsior Wine Company, LLC see Item 4 — “Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.” The joint venture agreement is included in this Annual Report as Exhibit 4.4.
D. Exchange Controls
The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and control of foreign exchange transactions.
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. At the time the ADS facility was issued, the Central Bank had issued certain regulations (the “Former Regulations”) imposing the obligation to obtain the previous authorization from the Central Bank of Chile and the execution of an agreement with such bank in order to proceed with an ADS facility.
| 80 |
Due to the above, 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. The Foreign Investment Contract is currently in force and will continue to govern the ADS facility until all parties agree to terminate it. If the Foreign Investment Contract is terminated, the ADS facility would then become subject to the New Regulations (as defined below). Under Chilean legislation, a Foreign Investment Contract may not be altered or affected adversely by actions of the Central Bank of Chile.
The Central Bank of Chile adopted a new Foreign Exchange Regulations Compendium (the “New Regulations”) published in the Official Gazette on January 23, 2002 and effective as of March 1, 2002. The New Regulations impose only three levels of restrictions or obligations on foreign exchange transactions in Chile: (i) certain transactions requiring exchange of foreign currency must be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank) and reported to the Central Bank of Chile (e.g., investments, loans, deposits and certain other transactions in excess of Ch$ 4.72 million approximately (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. Therefore, in the event the Foreign Investment Contract were terminated, an amendment to the New 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 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.”
| 81 |
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.
E. Taxation
The following discussion is a summary of certain Chilean and U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the ADS or the shares. The discussion is based on current law and is for general information only. Moreover, while the Company’s tax advisors believe this discussion to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force as of the date of this Annual Report, no assurances can be given that the courts or tax authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes in such laws will not occur. In addition, the discussion does not address all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the ADS or the shares.
Each holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the particular tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADS or shares of Common Stock.
Chile
Chile and the United States signed in January 2010 a double taxation treaty; its ratification is pending by Chile and the United States. Diplomatic notes were exchanged in year 2011 in order to amend the treaty’s original wording. The bill has not yet entered into Chilean Congress. Entry into force is expected to take place in the short term. 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, N° 1705 of 2006, 224 of 2008, 1948 and 3020 both of 2011, and Circular Letter No. 7 of 2002, as well as Resolution No. 36 of 2011, all of which are subject to change.
| 82 |
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 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 authority issues 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 in good faith relied 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. Chile has an imputation tax system. 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%. From year 2004 until 2010 the First-Category Tax rate was 17%, resulting in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 21.69%. For year 2011, the First-Category Tax rate was 20%, resulting in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 18.75%. For year 2012, the First-Category Tax rate was 18.5%, resulting in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 20.25%. From year 2013 onwards, the First-Category Tax rate is set back at 20%, with the resulting effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 18.75%.
The example below illustrates the effective Chilean Withholding Tax burden on a cash dividend received by a non-resident holder, assuming a Withholding Tax rate of 35%, an effective First-Category Tax rate of 20% and a distribution of 50% of the net income of the Company distributable after payment of the First-Category Tax:
| Company taxable income | 200.0 | |||
| First-Category Tax (20% of Ch$200) | (40.0 | ) | ||
| Net distributable income | 160.00 | |||
| Dividend distributed (50% of net distributable income) | 80.00 | |||
| Gross Up to compute Withholding Tax: Ch$80.00 plus Ch$20.0 First Category Tax effectively paid | (100.00 | ) | ||
| Withholding Tax Rate 35% of Ch$100.00 equal to Ch$35; minus credit for 50% of First Category Tax (20%) | 15.0 | |||
| Net withholding tax | (15.0 | ) | ||
| Net dividend received | 65.00 | |||
| Approximate effective dividend withholding rate (15.0/80.0) | 18.75 | % |
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 (20))
100 - (First-Category Tax rate (20))
| 83 |
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 2002 and 2003, resulted or will result in an effective dividend withholding tax rate of approximately 23.52% and 22.62%, respectively. For distributions of profits generated during year 2004 until 2010, the effective dividend withholding tax is approximately 21.69%. For distributions of profit generated on year 2011, the effective dividend withholding tax was approximately 18.75%. For distributions of profits generated on year 2012, the effective dividend withholding tax was 20.25%, while with the 20% tax applicable from 2013 onwards, the effective withholding tax rate is 18.75%, as described above.
Dividend distributions paid in kind 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 for the shareholder at the moment the shares are distributed. Subsequent disposition of shares arising from stock dividends may be taxed in Chile (see Capital Gains). Disposition of the preemptive rights on compensated basis would be deemed in Chile as ordinary business income subject to taxation.
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 or basis on the shares. The basis on 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.
Prior to Law No. 20.448 published in the Official Gazette on August 13, 2010, if a capital gain was 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 was deemed a non taxable event provided that the requirements of Article 18 ter of the Chilean Income Tax Law were met.
However, Article 18 ter was repealed and replaced by Article 107 of the same statute (pursuant to Law No. 20.448), which reproduces the rules set forth in the repealed article, but introduces a few changes as well.
The referred Article 107 entered into force on September 1, 2010. Any legal reference to Article 18 ter should be understood made to Article 107.
The requirements of Article 107 of the Chilean Income Tax Law are: (i) the share at the time of sale must have a market presence (as recently defined in General Ruling No. 327 issued by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities on January 17, 2012, which replaces previous General Ruling No. 103, issued in year 2001). 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 (as per former Article 18 ter); and (iii) the acquisition and sale must have been made, among others, in a Chilean stock exchange market authorized by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities. We highlight that the acquisition and sale in a foreign stock exchange market was considered in Article 18 ter, but excluded in new Article 107.
| 84 |
In this regard, Rev. Ruling 224 of 2008 was issued in the context of Article 18 ter tax exemption on ADR operations and it confirmed that the reference contained in Article 18 ter to a foreign exchange stock market authorized by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities would cover gains derived from the transfer of shares in a Chilean company, acquired on the surrender (i.e. flowback) of ADRs acquired on the London Stock Exchange, NYSE and Madrid Stock Exchange.
However, considering that Article 107 restricts the non-taxable qualification only to shares acquired and sold in the Chilean stock market (among other situations which do not comprise foreign exchange markets), we believe there is a risk that the Revenue Authority may consider the gain derived from the transfer of shares acquired in the surrender of ADRs acquired in foreign exchange stock markets - particularly those acquired through ADR surrender after September 1, 2010 - would be considered taxable gain by the Chilean IRS, in the terms described below.
This change in law, which does not consider any transitory rules to protect taxpayers who invested in ADRs under rules established in former article 18 ter.
Considering the requirements of Article 107 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 seniority on the Common Stock is less than one year since exchanging ADS for the Common Stock, or (ii) the shareholder acquired and disposed of the Common Stock in the ordinary course of its business or may be deemed an habitual trader of shares and (iii) the transaction takes place among parties deemed related, unlikely to take place in the sale is made in a stock market. 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 20%) assessed as a sole tax and no second level taxation will apply e.g. the Withholding Tax in case of non-resident holder.
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.
| 85 |
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 positions in respect of the ADS 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 ADS or Common Stock through a partnership or other pass-through entity, traders that elect to mark-to-market, persons who acquired ADS 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 2012, 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, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, 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.
| 86 |
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 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 gains 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,” gains realized from a sale or other disposition of shares of Common Stock by a U.S. Holder, unlike gains 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 gains 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 gains 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.
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 ADS or Common Stock.
| 87 |
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.
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.
New Legislation
For taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals or entities owned by individuals are required to report to the IRS information relating to an interest in the Company’s ADSs or shares of Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for ADSs and Common Stock held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions).

I. Subsidiary Information
| See Item 4 “Information on the Company — Organizational Structure.” |
| 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.
| 88 |
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its debt obligations. As of December 31, 2012 the Company’s total interest-bearing financial debt (including current maturities and accrued interest) amounted to Ch$267,199 million of which, as of December 31, 2012, Ch$99,430 million is short term debt and Ch$167,769 million is long term debt with maturities through 2018 for its bank debt and 2026 for the bond debt.
As of December 31, 2012, 69% of the debt has a fixed-rate and is denominated in Chilean pesos, Sterling Pounds, Brasilian Reais, Euros and Argentine pesos, the rest is covered with hedging instruments. The fair market value of total bank debt, as of December 31, 2012, does not significantly differ from the value at which it is listed in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The interest rate risk arises from the uncertainty regarding interest rate at which the Company can refinance its short term debt given the current uncertainty in the global financial markets.
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 and fairly represent the approximate average annual interest rates for each of the years of maturity.

Exchange Rate Risk
The primary exchange rate risk that the Company faces is the depreciation of the peso against the various currencies in which Company’s revenues are denominated. The Company’s export sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars, Brazilian reais and Swedish and Norwegian crowns. During 2012 and 2011, 78.8% and 77.4%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues were related to foreign currency. This risk is partly offset by the natural hedge resulting from approximately 35% of the Company’s costs and expenses being denominated in foreign currency, primarily U.S. dollars.
Additionally, to manage and mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the Company’s functional currency based sales, the Company has adopted a policy of attempting to balance foreign exchange denominated assets and liabilities to minimize its exposure to exchange rate risks. Thus, the Company periodically purchases and/or sells forward instruments including forward exchange contracts, as part of its exchange rate hedging strategy. In addition, on a case-by-case basis, the Company fixes the exchange rate for a percentage of its exports as part of its pricing strategy related to its exports operations. The Company uses these instruments solely to reduce the financial impact of these risks and does not use forward instruments for trading purposes.
In addition, domestic sales of the Company’s Argentine subsidiaries are denominated in Argentine pesos –which represent 1.7% of total sales of the Company and would therefore be affected by the devaluation of the local currency. To manage this risk the Company maintains debt in Argentine pesos.
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities subject to exchange rate risk as of December 31, 2012. The value of these foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are represented in millions of Chilean pesos at the applicable exchange rate on December 31, 2012, which is included in the final row of the table.

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 2012, 65% 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 2012, the Company purchased the grapes and bulk wine required to produce approximately 72% 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. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not hold any grape price-sensitive instrument.

US$42,000) corresponding to the annual stock exchange listing fees.
| ITEM 13: | DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES |
None.
| 93 |
| 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 |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” for the year ended December 31, 2012. Nevertheless, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon the Company’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that it is gathered and communicated to the Company’s Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Concha y Toro’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It can only provide reasonable assurance regarding financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management, with the assistance of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on the evaluation under these criteria, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has been audited by KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which is included herein.
(c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm See page F-2 of this Annual Report for the attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting of KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Their attestation report is included with the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as part of this Annual Report.
| 94 |
(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Form 20-F that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
| ITEM 16.A. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT |
The Company currently does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. Under Chilean law, the Company is not required to have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.
| ITEM 16.B: | CODE OF ETHICS |
As of June 2004, the Company has disclosed its first 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.
On May 31, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a new and updated version of the Code of Ethics and Conduct of Viña Concha y Toro and its subsidiaries. The Code summarizes those principles and ethical values and minimum behavior in which must be framed directors, officers and employees of Concha y Toro and its subsidiaries, without exception. The Company’s code of ethics deals primarily with the following issues:
| • | Duties of director, managers and personnel; | |
| • | Compliance with labor law and labor rights; | |
| • | Relationship with clients and suppliers; | |
| • | Conflict of interests; | |
| • | Use of property and information; | |
| • | Privileged information; | |
| • | Independence; | |
| • | Punitive liability of the Company; | |
| • | Fair behavior; and | |
| • | Compliance with environment, health and safety laws and regulations. |
The Code of Ethics and Conduct is based on the Company defined as one of its essential for development activities, in each processing stage, distribution and sale of products, each of the directors, executives and employees comply with the rules and regulations of the jurisdiction in which they operate. Also, Viña Concha Toro and requires its directors, officers and employees know and full commitment to the ethical values of the Company in the pursuit of excellence and transparency. The Code of Ethics and Conduct is available on the website of the Company.
A copy of the Company’s code of ethics of 2012 is available on its website (www.conchaytoro.com). The Company undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the Company’s code of ethics.
| ITEM 16.C: | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT’S FEES AND SERVICES |
Aggregate fees for professional services rendered by KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda. (“KPMG”), our independent registered public accounting firm, in each of the last three fiscal years, in each of the following categories are:
| 2010 ThCh$ | 2011 ThCh$ | 2012 ThCh$ | ||||||||||
| Audit Fees | 189,979 | 278,669 | 413,612 | |||||||||
| Audit-related fees | — | 53,640 | — | |||||||||
| Tax Fees | 12,028 | 16,610 | — | |||||||||
| All others fees | — | — | — | |||||||||
| Total | 202,007 | 348,919 | 413,612 | |||||||||
| 95 |
“Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed and billable by KPMG for the audit of the Company’s consolidated and annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. Fees related to the audit of internal control over financial reporting are included in Audit Fees. “Tax fees” are for aggregate fees billed by KPMG for tax advice regarding transfer pricing, and other tax compliance review.
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 audits, audit-related services, tax services and other services. 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.
| ITEM 16.D: | EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES |
Mr. Rafael Guilisasti is an affiliate of the Company or a representative of such an affiliate. Mr. Rafael Guilisasti has observer status only on the Audit Committee and is not a voting member or the chair of the committee. He also does not serve as an executive officer of the Company. Therefore, he relies on the exemption provided in Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(D) of the Exchange Act. We do not believe that his status as an affiliate materially adversely affects the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently or to satisfy the other requirements of the listing standards relating to audit committees contained in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. See Item 6.C. — “Board Practices.”
| ITEM 16.E: | PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS |
Not Applicable.
| ITEM 16.F: | CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT |
Not Applicable.
| ITEM 16.G: | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
American Depositary Shares representing shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). However, because the Company is a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is exempt from the governance rules set forth in Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Companies Manual, other than the obligation to maintain an audit committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the obligation to notify the NYSE if any of the Company’s executive officers becomes aware of any non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A. Instead, the rules of both the SEC and the NYSE require the Company to provide a summary, included below, of the significant ways in which the Company’s corporate practices differ from those applicable to U.S. domestic companies under NYSE listing standards.
Independent Directors on the Board of Directors
According to NYSE, listed U.S. companies must have a majority of independent directors. Chilean law only requires at least one independent director and the Company’s Board of Directors is, in fact, comprised of a minority of independent directors.
| 96 |
Non-Executive or Independent Director Meetings
Pursuant to the NYSE listing standards, non-executive directors or independent directors of U.S. listed companies must meet on a regular basis without management present. In compliance with Chilean law, the Company does not have directors that simultaneously serve as executives, accountants or auditors of the Company. The Company’s directors may meet individually or collectively with those they deem necessary to inform themselves and make decisions regarding the company.
Directors’ Committee and Audit Committee
According to the NYSE, listed U.S. companies must have an audit committee consisting of a minimum of three independent directors who are financially literate and at least one who is a designated financial expert. Chilean law requires open stock companies with a market capitalization greater than UF 1.5 million (approximately Ch$ 34,304 million or US$71.5 million) and at least 12.5% of its shares issued with voting rights are held by individual shareholders who control or have less than 10% such shares, such as the Company, to have a Directors’ Committee, composed of three directors who meet the independence requirements under Chilean law (as described below). The Company has a Directors’ Committee, composed of a majority of independent directors as required by Chilean law, which also performs the functions of the Audit Committee required by the NYSE. For the non-independent director on the Directors’ Committee, the Company relies on an exemption of the NYSE listing standards relating to Audit Committees of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Chilean law has no requirement for members to be financial experts.
| The Directors’ Committee is responsible for | ||
| i. reviewing balance sheets, financial statements and reports from accounting oversight bodies and auditors; | ||
| ii. proposing outside auditors to the Board of Directors; | ||
| iii. reviewing background information regarding the Company’s operations with related parties; | ||
| iv. reviewing managers’ and chief executive officers’ compensation plans; | ||
| v. preparing an annual management report with main recommendations to shareholders; | ||
| vi. inform and advice the Board of director about hiring the external auditors for non-audit neither prohibited services; and | ||
| vii. any other task established in the By-laws or entrusted by the Board of Director or the shareholders meeting. | ||
Director’s Independence Qualification
Under the NYSE rules, a director must meet the requirements in the “Independence Test” in order to be considered an “Independent Director.” Chilean law establishes a strict set of rules in order to consider someone as “Independent Director”. This set of rules is principally related with the person’s financial, management and kin relationship with the company, its controller and or its principal executives. Accordingly, although certain of our directors are “Independent” in accordance with Chilean law, they may not be deemed to be “Independent Directors” under NYSE listing standards.
| 97 |
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
According to the NYSE, listed U.S. companies must have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors, whose activities include identifying qualified individuals to serve on the board of directors and developing a set of corporate governance principles. This committee is not contemplated as such by Chilean law. Nominations for Board of Directors are made at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, while the Board of Directors nominates the members of the Directors’ Committee.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
According to the NYSE, listed U.S. companies must adopt corporate governance guidelines establishing the following:
| (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 of Directors. |
Under Chilean law, no corporate governance guidelines are required, but directors’ compensation must be discussed and voted on annually at the ordinary shareholders’ meeting.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
According to the NYSE, U.S. listed companies must adopt and disclose a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers and employees. The Code must be uploaded on the Company website or otherwise be available for shareholders to obtain a copy. A Code of Conduct and Ethics is not required by Chilean law, but it has become a common practice for Chilean companies to have a Code. The Company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics entitled “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of Concha y Toro,” governing the actions of directors, officers and employees. Its observance and compliance is regulated by the senior management of the Company, including the General Manager and the Chief Financial Officer. The Code is available on the Company website at www.conchaytoro.com.
Internal Audit
According to the NYSE, listed U.S. companies must have an internal audit function to provide management with ongoing assessments of the company’s risk management process and the system of internal controls. Although there is no local law requirement to do so, but the Company conducts an internal audit which provides evaluation, analysis and recommendations to senior management, the Board of Directors and the Directors’ Committee.
| 98 |
CEO’s awareness and certification of corporate governance violations
According to the NYSE, the CEO of a U.S. listed company must annually certify to the NYSE that he or she is not aware of any violation by the Company of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards. Chilean law does not establish such a requirement and this provision of the NYSE does not apply to foreign private issuers such as the Company. However, according to the NYSE, all foreign private issuers, including the Company, must report to the NYSE when they become aware of a violation of the corporate governance listing standards and must provide an annual written affirmation to the NYSE of its compliance with the applicable NYSE audit committee rules and disclose significant differences with NYSE corporate governance rules applicable to domestic companies. In compliance with these rules, the Company annually submits a written annual affirmation to the NYSE.
The amended rules provide that all interested parties, not just shareholders, must be able to communicate their concerns regarding the listed company to the presiding director, or the non-management or independent directors as a group. There is no similar provision in Chilean law.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Viña Concha y Toro S.A.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Viña Concha y Toro S.A.´s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April 30, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Viña Concha y Toro S.A.:
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Viña Concha y Toro S.A. (the Company) as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company´s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

| 2.1.7 | Significant Accounting Policies | |||
| The main critical policies are as follows: | ||||
| - | Allowance for doubtful accounts; | |||
| - | current and deferred income taxes; | |||
| - | inventories; | |||
| - | goodwill; | |||
| - | property, plant and equipment and financial assets; | |||

| - | biological assets; | |||
| - | intangible assets; | |||
| - | benefits to employees; and | |||
| - | provisions; | |||
| 2.2 | Basis of Consolidation | |||
| The Consolidated Financial Statements include assets, liabilities, profit or loss and cash flows of Viña Concha y Toro and its subsidiaries. The effects of significant transactions performed with subsidiaries have been eliminated and the related non-controlling ownership which is presented in both the statement of financial position and statement of income, under non-controlling interest. The accounting policies of the direct and indirect subsidiaries are aligned with those of the company. | ||||
| 2.2.1 | Subsidiaries | |||
| The subsidiaries are those entities on which Viña Concha y Toro exercises, direct or indirect control, understood as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. This ability is shown in general, although not solely, as the direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more of the entity’s rights. | ||||
| To account for the acquisition of subsidiaries, Viña Concha y Toro uses the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is the fair value of assets delivered and equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed in the exchange date, and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired, identifiable liabilities and contingencies assumed in a business combination are valued by its fair value in the acquisition date. The excess of acquisition cost on the fair value of the Company’s ownership in net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Whether the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is directly recognized in the statement of income. | ||||

| 2.5 | Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents correspond to short-term highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject insignificant risk of changes in their value with maturities of three months or less from the adquisition date. | ||||
| 2.6 | Financial Instruments | |||
| - | Financial assets | |||
| Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and subsidiaries classify their financial assets under the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose with which these financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. | ||||
| 2.6.1 | Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | |||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified under this category when is mainly acquired to be sold in the short-term. Derivatives are also classified as acquired for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets under this category are classified as current assets and initially recognized at fair value in profit or loss. | ||||
| 2.6.2 | Held-to-maturity financial assets | |||
| Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, that have fixed maturities, and that the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. After the initial measurement, held-to-maturity financial investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost. This cost is calculated as the amount initially recognized minus capital prepayments, plus or minus accumulated amortization using the effective interest rate method of any difference between the amount initially recognized and the amount at maturity, less any impairment loss determined according to market values. | ||||
| 2.6.3 | Loans and trade receivables | |||
| Loans and trade receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market. Current assets include all recoverable items except for those with maturities exceeding 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets.

| b) | Cash flow hedges: | |||
| Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded, in the portion that these hedging are effective, under a reserve within Total Equity until they are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income netting this effect against the hedging object.

| c) | Net investment hedges: | |||
| Net investments hedges in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item which is recorded as a part of the net investment, are recorded as follows: gains or losses on the hedging instrument related to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized as a charge or credit to equity accounts, whereas any gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized as a charge or credit to profit or loss. When disposing of the foreign operation, the accumulated amount of any gain or loss directly recognized in equity is transferred to the statement of income. | ||||
| A hedge is considered as highly effective when changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying directly attributable to the hedged risk, are offset with changes in the fair value or the hedging instrument cash flows, with effectiveness ranging between 80% and 125%. | ||||
| 2.6.8 | Embedded derivatives | |||
| The Concha y Toro Group assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instruments contracts and contracts for the purchase of grape from third parties in order to determine whether their characteristics and risks closely relate to the master agreement. Should it be concluded that clauses in force in contracts related to the master agreement, the derivative is measured at fair value. | ||||
| 2.6.9 | Fair value and classification of financial instruments | |||
| The fair value of the different derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows: | ||||
| - | derivatives quoted in an organized market, for its quote at year-end; and | |||
| - | for derivatives non-negotiable in organized markets, for measuring them the Group uses the discount of expected cash flows and generally accepted option valuation models on the basis of market conditions, both from cash and futures at year-end. | |||
| In consideration of the abovementioned procedures, Viña Concha y Toro classifies its financial instruments in the following levels: | ||||
| Level 1: | Fair value obtained through direct reference to unadjusted prices quoted. | |||
| Level 2: | Fair value obtained through use of valuation techniques accepted in the market and based on prices, other than those indicated in Level 1, which are observable direct or indirectly as of the measuring date (adjusted prices). | |||
| Level 3: | Fair value obtained through models internally developed or methodologies which use low liquidity or unobservable information. | |||
| 2.6.10 | Interest-bearing loans | |||
| All credits and loans are initially recognized at fair value of the payment received less direct costs attributable to the transaction. Subsequently to the initial recognition these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. | ||||
| Gains and losses are recognized with a charge or credit to profit or loss when liabilities are derecognized or amortized. | ||||

| 2.7 | Non-current assets held-for-sale | ||
| Property, plant and equipment whose carrying amount will be recovered through a sales operation and not through its ongoing use are classified as held for sale.

| These are included in non-current assets when the investment is intended to be disposed of in the twelve months following year-end. | |||
| These assets are valued at the lower of carrying amount and the estimated sales value deducting the costs required for realization, and are no longer depreciated from the time in which are classified as non-current assets held-for-sale. | |||
| 2.8 | Inventories | ||
| Raw materials, work in progress, finished products and supplies, are initially valued at cost, subsequent to the initial recognition, these are valued at the lower of net realizable value and cost recorded initially.

| The net profit or loss obtained in each year by these companies is illustrated in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as “Share of profit (losses) of equity accounted investees.” | |||
| 2.10.1 | Goodwill from equity-accounted investees | ||
| Goodwill obtained in the acquisition of the associate Industria Corchera S.A, is not amortized and at each year-end it is estimated if there are indications of impairment which may decrease its recoverable amount to an amount lower than the net cost recorded, in whose case, an impairment adjustment is made. | |||
| The allocation is made to those Cash Generating Units (CGUs) to which are expected to obtain a benefit from the business combination in which this goodwill arose for impairment testing purposes. This value is already added to the investment value in both cases. | |||

NOTE 3. ESTIMATES DETERMINED BY MANAGEMENT
The preparation of financial statements require that Management perform estimates and use assumptions which affect the amounts included in these consolidated financial statements and related notes. Estimates made and assumptions used by the Company are based on the historic experience, changes in the industry and information provided by qualified external sources. However, the final results could differ from estimates under certain conditions, and in some cases have a significant variation.
Estimates and significant accounting policies are defined as those that are important to properly reflect the Company’s results and financial position and/or those which require a high degree of Management’s judgment.
Main estimates and applications of the professional criteria that as a result of its variation could give rise to significant adjustments on carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are related to the following concepts:
| 3.1 | Assessment of possible impairment losses of Property, Plants and equipment, Biological Assets, definite life Intangible assets and Investments in Associates | |
| At of the closing date of each year, or on those dates in which is considered as necessary, an analysis is performed on asset’s value in order to determine if there is an indication or indicator that these assets had an impairment loss. If any indicators exist on Property, Plants and equipment, in Biological Assets, in definite life intangible assets or Investments in Associates and/or in the annual test of indefinite life intangible assets, estimation on the recoverable amount of this asset is performed, in this case, the recoverable amount with respect to the asset’s carrying amount. If these are identifiable assets which do not independently generate cash flows, an estimate is performed on the recoverability of the Cash Generating Unit to which this asset belongs. | ||
| In the case of Cash Generating Units to which tangible or intangible assets have been assigned with an indefinite useful life, the recoverability analysis is performed systematically at each year-end or under circumstances considered as required to perform this analysis. | ||
| 3.2 | Financial Assets with trading origin | |
| In the case of financial assets whit trading origin, the Company has defined a policy for the recording of impairment accruals in function of the irrecoverable status for the overdue balance, which is determined through an analysis on the age, historic collection and the collection status of accounts receivable. | ||
| 3.3 | Intangibles Assignation of Useful lives of Property, Plant and equipment, Biologial Assets and Intangible assets | |
| The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives on technical basis and the related depreciation charges of its Property, Plant and equipment, Biologial Assets and definite life Intangibles assets. This estimate is based on the projected life cycles of goods assigned to the respective segments: Wines and Others. | ||
| The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of Property, Plant and equipment, Biologial Assets and definite life Intangible assets, at the closing date of each annual financial report. | ||
| 3.4 | Actuarial calculation of severance indemnity obligations | |
| The Company’s determination of provision for severance indemnity is agreed to the equivalent to a specific number of days per year only and under certain conditions. This has been determined through the actuarial value of the benefit accrued cost. This method allowed performing estimates based on the future permanence of those involved in this benefit, mortality rates, future increases in remunerations and discount rates, among others. |

NOTE 5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
| 5.1 | Analysis of Market Financial Risk | ||
| The Company is exposed to different types of market risks, among others main risks are; exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and variation risk in consumer price index. | |||
| 5.1.1 | Exchange Rate Risk (Currency Risk) | ||
| Due to the exporting nature of Viña Concha y Toro, the exchange rate risk corresponds to the appreciation risk of the Chilean Peso (its functional currency) with respect to the currencies in which the Company receives its Income. | |||
| The exchange rate risk exposure of Viña Concha y Toro corresponds to the net position between assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. This net position is mainly generated by the differential between the addition of accounts receivable and inventories with respect to the asset and advertising contributions, financial debt and supplies costs with respect to the liability, all of them denominated in US Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Swedish Crowns, Norway Crowns, Brazilian Real, Mexican Pesos and Argentinean pesos. | |||
| In order to mitigate and manage the exchange rate risk, the Company reviews on a daily basis the net exposure on each currency for the existing entries, and hedge this differential mainly using currency forward operations at a term lower or equal to 90 days. In certain opportunities the Company can also use Cross Currency Swap or any other derivative. | |||
| The sensitivity analysis assuming that the Company had no hedging during 2012, indicates that a depreciation /appreciation by 10% of the Chilean peso, with respect to the different currencies in which the Company maintains assets and liabilities, would have generated a loss/gain amounting to ThCh$6,511,375. This sensitization is performed assuming that all other variables remained constant and considering, in all the aforementioned currencies, the average assets and liabilities maintained during the indicated period of time. | |||

| Additionally, and in accordance with the sensitivity of the impact on net equity and the appreciation or depreciation of each currency, the Company hedges a portion of the expected entries pursuant to its sale forecasts with currency forward sales at terms higher than 90 days. | |||
| The impact in net equity on expected entries on one part emanate from losses /gains which could generate the depreciations /appreciations of the Chilean peso with respect to the currencies in which the export is made, as well as the gains/losses which could be generated as a result of lower/higher costs in the cases in which these currencies are denominated or indexed to the variation of these currencies. | |||
| The sensitivity analysis manifest that a depreciation/appreciation by 10% of the Chilean peso with respect to the different currencies in which the Company generate income and expenses, would have represented a loss /gain amounting to ThCh$22,098,173 in 2012. This sensitivity is performed assuming all other variables as constant and considering in all the aforementioned currencies, the forecasted income and expenses for the year. |

| Notwithstanding the abovementioned, in scenarios of appreciation of our local currency is possible to mitigate the effect on income through adjustments in prices always considering, the appreciation level of the currencies of our competitors. | |||
| 5.1.2 | Interest Rate Risk | ||
| The interest rate risk impact the Company’s financial debt. As of December 31, 2012 Viña Concha y Toro had a total financial debt, net of interest, amounting to ThCh$265,798, 62.2% of this debt correspond to long-term debt and 37.8% correspond to short-term debt. At this year-end, the Company maintains 30.1% of the debt with a variable interest. | |||
| In order to reduce the interest rate risk, the Company has contracted derivatives which fix the interest rate (Swap Interest rate) for all loans which are currently subject to a variable rate, which are currently denominated in United States Dollars subject to Libor rates. | |||
| The sensitivity analysis, assuming that the Company does not perform interest rate hedging, indicate that, an increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates on all the loans with variable interest rate, in-force up to December 31, 2012, would have generated a higher/lower interest expense amounting to ThCh$678,354, with effect on profit or loss. | |||
| 5.1.3 | Inflation Risk. | ||
| A very particular feature of the Chilean financial market is the deepness existing for corporative bonds denominated in UF which is different for Chilean pesos. This is due to the fact that corporative bonds in UF provide a guarantee to the investor with a specific return in actual terms, isolating the inflation risk; however this is transferred to the debt issuer. Currently, Viña Concha y Toro is exposed to the UF (Unidad de Fomento) in the following instruments: Corporate Bonds, Bank Loans and Short-term Time Deposits, these latter, decrease in part the Company’s total exposure |

NOTE 15. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
The Company include as a part of these assets, the grapevine plantations, both in growing stage and in production and also the grape product.
As contemplated in IAS 41, biological assets must be measured at fair value less the estimated costs up to its sale, unless in those cases in which the fair value cannot be measurable reliably. The standard defines as valuation alternatives: Market price, present value of expected net cash flows of the asset and Costs.
Based on the information and analysis prepared by Viña Concha y Toro, the valuation of biological assets (planted grapevines in growing /production) at “reasonable value or fair value” is currently not easy to determine in a reliable manner in Chile, Argentina and USA, given that there is no active market in those countries for planted grapevines both in growing stage and in production, given that these are not an asset commonly traded in our grapevine industry. There is no experience enough in the market with respect to the number of transactions on these goods which allow identifying reference prices for its valuation. Given the high subjectivity degree to qualify the quality of grape associated to the grapevine, for certain grape plantations there is no objective market.
On the other hand, is not possible to apply the present value of net cash flows, given that the grapevines in development and productive stage have no demand, and per se, do not generate flows. Flows must be related with the realization of the agricultural product (grape) which will generate the biologic asset. In the actual business, the grape coming from vineyards will be used to produce wine that subsequently will be traded, not for sale, thus, there is no reference to the grape price in the market.
In addition, the main variables of all flow model are quantity and price, these variables depend on the efficiency levels of each company when handling its vineyards, which in turn will depend on: adopted technology and know-how what makes difficult identifying the proper combination of variables to be considered (quantity and cost involved) and to be reliable.
After analyzing this matter, we may conclude that any methodology used is not fully reliable due to the fact that the basic variables which feed these have no support in objective information which will finally allow measurable and reliable results. Consequently, today we may conclude that the use of flow models does not deliver a reliable fair value for biologic assets.
As per the information and objective indicators analyzed so far, we may conclude that there are no valuation methods as appropriate as the cost. Valuation through the cost value method seems a better estimator on the biologic asset value (grapevines) given the reality of our winegrowing industry and the market peculiarity as commented above.
The depreciation of grapevines in production is performed on linear basis and is based on the production estimated useful life, which is evaluated on a regular basis. Grapevines in growing stage are not depreciated until entering to production, which occur at the fifth year after planted just when the vines begin to produce commercial grape for the grapevine process. Cost incurred in acquisition and plantation of new grapevine is capitalized.
The agricultural products (grape) coming from grapevines in production are valued at its harvest value (cost) less the accumulated losses due to impairment, if any. This valuation is the best estimate of fair value. Grape acquired to third-parties, is reflected by the Company at the value established in the purchase contract entered with third-parties.

Viña Concha y Toro S.A. centers its operations in the wine activity with a special approach in the production and merchandising of wine, which currently represents more than 92.4% of the Company’s income at consolidated level. The Company performs other businesses which represent in the aggregate less than 7.6% of its consolidated income, which will be defined as “Other products”.
The operation segments determined based on the aforementioned paragraph are detailed as follows:
| - | Wines: Production, distribution and merchandising of wines under all its brands, which include the agricultural operations, enology and packing operations which are transversal to all products and markets in Chile, Argentina and the United States; the storage, transportation and merchandising of these in the domestic and export markets, including the consolidation in those countries where an importer, dealer or related commercial office exist. |
| - | Other: Group of other products which do not qualify with 10% of sales, assets or operating income. Here we find the liquor distribution and premium beers in Chile, wine bar, tours in Pirque and sale of fruit, among others. |
Directors and the General Manager for Viña Concha y Toro S.A. are responsible to make decisions with respect to the management and assignment of resources. They are also responsible of the performance evaluation for the operating segment of wine and other products described above.
| a) | Bases and application methodology |
The information by segments presented below is based on information assigned directly and indirectly, as per the following opening:
The operating incomes of segments correspond to incomes directly attributable to the segment. The expenses of each segment break down between those directly attributable to each segment through the assignation of costs centers differentiated for each one and expenses which can be distributed to segments using reasonable distribution bases. Assets and liabilities of segments are those directly related to the segments operation.
The transactions between segments are performed under the market regular terms and conditions. The accounting policies used for segments are those described in Note 2.3 Financial Information by operating segments.

| 7) | In Argentina, the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (“AFIP”) through Resolution No. 364/08 dated December 16, 2008 challenged the affidavit of income tax for fiscal year 2002, and determined automatically on the amount owed to his understanding the subsidiary Bodegas y Viñedos Trivento S.A. (Trivento) on account of income tax for that period, which amounted to the sum of $1,948,918.44 of Argentinean pesos (ThCh$190,409 as of December 31, 2012), plus interest of $5,076,283 Argentinean pesos (calculated as of January 25, 2013) (ThCh$495,953 as of December 31, 2012). In turn, the AFIP affix a fine of $974,459.22 Argentinean pesos (ThCh$95,205 as of December 31, 2012). The fine does not accrue interest. | ||
| The tax agency based its decision on the premise that it was not from such as loss of computing exchange differences arising from lending operations Trivento with Viña Concha y Toro S.A. and VCT International S.A., arguing that remittances resulting from these operations were of the nature of capital contributions and not loans, even if with that character were approved by the respective directories and the Central Banks of both countries, being also such sums thus reflected in the accounts of all companies involved. | |||
| On February 11, 2009, resolution of the AFIP was appealed to the National Tax Tribunal, on appeal under Article 76 of the LPT. In that action were reiterated and expanded each of the arguments of the defense, put forward in timely releases presented in administrative proceedings. | |||
| The matter was opened to the test, and both parties produced the evidence offered (report requirements made to local banks and expert evidence which was prepared by Estudio Contable Balter & Asoc., appointed as technical consultants). This expert report was attached to the file on March 31, 2011. Finally, on April 15, 2011, Trivento informed the court on the filing of a new appeal, also brought before the National Tax Tribunal for the new challenge made by the AFIP, this time for the affidavits of tax gains made by the periods 2003 and 2004. | |||
| Upon expiration of the evidence the Court may order the parties to submit arguments, leaving the cause, after that, in a state of failure. Nevertheless, in advance, since it has been brought to the attention of the Investigation Board 11th appeal the existence of relapse in Room C, which was requested connectedness, dated September 20, 2011, the Investigation Board decided to submit the case to the plenary of the Conference Room D, for the purposes of deciding whether to build with the record 34 450-I (described below). On April 27, 2012, the court decision to build with both records was notified to Trivento. At the reporting date, the court resolution in relation to permit the dispute on the basis of this new evidence is still pending. | |||

| Because of the amount claimed by the AFIP, by judgment dated September 17, 2009 provided for the freezing properties and vehicles of Trivento, which the AFIP, as required by Trivento, agreed to unite on a single property (Farm and Winery Three Porteñas-San Martín). To this date, the freezing is united on this property, having released the remaining properties and vehicles. | |
| In office procedure for determining debt initiated by the AFIP, in relation to fiscal years 2003 and 2004, and after due filing of rebuttals in administrative, Trivento was notified of the AFIP Resolution No. 322/10 dated 9 December 2010, by which the Treasury officially determined a debt of $6,754,563.88 Argentinean pesos (ThCh$659,921 as of December 31, 2012), plus interest of $14,383,502 Argentinean pesos (calculated on January 25, 2013) (ThCh$1,405,268 as of December 31, 2012) and $4,728,194.72 Argentinean pesos (ThCh$461,945 as of December 31, 2012) fine (which does not accrue any interest). | |
| The tax agency based its decision on the premise that it was not appropriate to attribute to the affidavits of acquisitions for the years 2003 and 2004, losses from previous periods, which in the opinion of the AFIP were completely absorbed in the affidavit of the year 2002. | |
| On February 1, 2011, resolution of the AFIP was appealed to the National Tax Tribunal, on appeal. In that action were reiterated and expanded each of the arguments of the defense, put forward in timely releases presented in administrative proceedings, which have proper evidentiary support, and it was required to build with the record which processes the challenge of the affidavit of income tax for the fiscal year 2002. The appeal was notified to the AFIP in April 2011. On April 27, 2012, the court decision to build with both records was notified to Trivento. At the reporting date, the court resolution in relation to the production of the offered evidence by the parties is still pending (essentially, expertise prepared by Estudio Contable Balter & Asoc., appointed for this purposes as technical consultants). | |
| Finally, in office procedure for determining debt initiated by the AFIP, in relation to fiscal years 2005 and 2006, and after due filing of rebuttals in administrative, Trivento was notified of the AFIP Resolution No. 363/12 dated 12 December 2012, by which the Treasury officially determined a debt of $1,138,953 Argentinean pesos (ThCh$111,276 as of December 31, 2012), plus interest of $1,854,595 Argentinean pesos (calculated on January 15, 2013) (ThCh$181,194 as of December 31, 2012) and $797,267 Argentinean pesos (ThCh$77,893 as of December 31, 2012) fine (which does not accrue any interest). | |
| The tax agency based its decision on the premise that it was not appropriate to attribute to the affidavits of income tax for the years 2005 and 2006, losses from previous periods, which in the opinion of the AFIP were completely absorbed in the affidavit of the year 2002. In addition, the amount declared by TRIVENTO accounted on Minimum Notional Income for 2006 was not found in the computer records, therefore, it was not considered as payment on account of Tax income, and failed to consider compensation of the balance in favor of AFIP with the Trivento’s Minimum Notional Income cleared balance -2006-, for a total of$546,055.46 Argentinean pesos (ThCh$53,350 as of December 31, 2012). Trivento appealed the resolution of the AFIP to the National Tax Tribunal, on February 2012. Considering this action, Trivento will reiterate and expand each argument of the defense, put forward in timely releases presented in administrative proceedings, which have proper evidentiary support, and it was required to build with the record which processes the challenge of the affidavit of income tax for the fiscal year 2002 (where the action was built against the office procedure for determining debt corresponding to fiscal years 2005 and 2006). | |
| According to the company lawyers, both Argentine and Chilean Trivento have reasonable grounds to sustain solid and that their affidavits of income tax for, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 conform to the law, and estimate that this opinion will ultimately recognized by the Argentine courts, and so reported to the administration and the Board of Viña Concha y Toro. Consequently, there are significant possibilities the challenge of settled amounts would be finally accepted by the fiscal authority. Therefore, the Company considers that a possible disbursement on these accounts is unlikely to occur. In turn, given the complexity of the legal proceedings Trivento is facing, the Company states it is not possible to provide an estimated date for the resolution of these judgments, neither it is possible to provide an estimation of the financial impact related to these legal proceedings, neither to indicate the feasibility of reimbursement of funds on these accounts. |

| 8) | In Brazil, the Finance Department from the State of Sao Paulo, by way of “Tax Assessment Notice and Imposition of Fine No.4.013.335-7”, officially determined and demanded to the VCT Brazil Importación y Exportación Limitada Subsidiary the payment of BRL 23,621,676.61 (ThCh$5,550,622 as of December 31, 2012) for “ICMS-ST” (equivalent to Chilean VAT) local tax accrual and non-payment. Fiscal authority claims the payment of this amount as the tax accrual and payment date was different and before the term the subsidiary uses for its entire. This would generate, according to the fiscal authorities, the existence of ICMS- ST pending payment. The authority also claims BRL 21,200,887.45 (ThCh$4,981,785 as of December 31, 2012) on account of interests and BRL 22,115,103 (ThCh$5,196,607 as of December 31, 2012) on account of fine. |
| To date, lawyers and other expert advisors from Sao Paulo have been contacted and are preparing the judicial defense (Tax Debt Annulment Lawsuit), based on arguments about form, regarding the nullity of tax resolution, and about substance, regarding the ICMS-ST non-requirement in the terms proposed by the authority. | |
| According to the company lawyers, both Brazilian and Chilean, VCT Brasil Importación y Exportación Limitada has reasonable grounds to sustain solid, and they estimate there are significant possibilities the challenge of settled amounts would be finally accepted by the fiscal authority. Therefore, the Company considers a possible disbursement on this account as unlikely to occur. In turn, given the complexity of the claiming process of “Tax Assessment Notice and Imposition of Fine” and its initial procedural stage, the Company states it is not possible to provide an estimated date for the resolution of this conflict, neither it is possible to provide an estimation of the financial impact related to this legal proceeding, neither to indicate the possibility of reimbursement of funds on this account. | |
