PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Financial Information
This offering memorandum includes our audited consolidated financial statements and related auditors' reports
and notes as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (the
"Annual Audited Financial Statements" or the "Consolidated Financial Statements").
The Company recorded certain adjustments against retained earnings in restating its financial statements as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The adjustments are associated with: (i) the recognition of
the amortization of bottles and boxes in the Jamaican operation and, and (ii) the contribution for future capital
increases in a subsidiary that should have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differ in
certain respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). No reconciliation to U.S.
GAAP of the Consolidated Financial Statements or of any other financial information presented herein has been
prepared. There can be no assurance that a reconciliation would not identify material quantitative differences
between such financial statements or information prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP.
Because the new notes have not been registered and will not be registered with the SEC, our Consolidated
Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this offering memorandum do not and are not required to comply with
the applicable registration requirements, rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, which would apply if the new
notes had been registered with the SEC.

vi

(ix) impairments and (x) non-recurring charges including non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial
measure under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this offering memorandum because we believe certain
investors may consider this useful as an additional measure of our financial performance and ability to service our
debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is not and should not be considered as substitute for net
income, cash flow provided by operations or other measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS.
Because Adjusted EBITDA is not an IFRS measure and not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner,
our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA or similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.
Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is not a financial measure under IFRS.
Net debt is included in this offering memorandum because we believe certain investors may consider this useful as
an additional measure of our financial performance and ability to service our debt and fund capital expenditures. Net
debt is not and should not be considered as substitute for net income, cash flow provided by operations or other
measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. Because net debt is not an IFRS measure and not all
companies calculate net debt in the same manner, our presentation of net debt may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Market and Industry Data
Market and industry data and other statistical information used throughout this offering memorandum are based
on independent industry publications by market research firms including A. C. Nielsen ("Nielsen"), Emevenca or
other published independent sources, and in some cases data provided by our joint venture partner AmBev and by
PepsiCo. Where indicated, some data are also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review
of internal surveys, as well as independent sources. Industry volume share is determined with respect to CSD,
isotonic drinks, energy drinks and tea based on information provided by Nielsen and Emevenca. Industry volume
share with respect to juices and nectars is based on internal sales estimates taking as a basis industry data from
Nielsen. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and
cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. CABCORP accepts responsibility for correct reproduction of the
information.

DIFFICULTIES OF ENFORCING CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST NON-U.S. PERSONS
CABCORP is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. All of the directors and officers of CABCORP and,
except for our subsidiary in Puerto Rico, the guarantors reside outside the United States. Substantially all of the
assets of CABCORP and the guarantors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for
investors to enforce against CABCORP or the guarantors in the United States the federal securities laws of the
United States, or to enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, including the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
British Virgin Islands
CABCORP has been advised by its British Virgin Islands counsel, Samuels Richardson & Co, that the United
States and the British Virgin Islands do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of
judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters and that a final judgment for the payment of money
rendered by any general or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely
upon the U.S. federal securities laws, would not be automatically enforceable in the British Virgin Islands. The
courts of the British Virgin Islands would recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in
personam obtained in the U.S. courts against the Company or any guarantor under which a sum of money is
payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature
or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (i) such courts had
proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment, (ii) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural
justice of the British Virgin Islands, (iii) such judgment was not obtained by fraud, (iv) the enforcement of the
judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the British Virgin Islands, (v) no new admissible evidence
relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the British Virgin Islands
and (vi) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
Guatemala
CABCORP has been advised by its Guatemalan counsel, Palacios & Asociados, that judgments based upon
civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States would only be enforceable in Guatemala if
such judgments were final and conclusive monetary judgments for a definite sum and the Guatemalan courts were
satisfied in each case that (i) the action is exercised due to a personal action, whether it be commercial or civil,
(ii) the courts of the country issuing the ruling provide the same enforcement to Guatemalan rulings, (iii) the ruling
is not a default judgment or against a person reportedly absent in the foreign jurisdiction who is domiciled in
Guatemala, (iv) the obligation is legal in Guatemala and not against Guatemalan public policy principles, and (v) in
accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the ruling was issued, the ruling is final and not subject to
appeal.
Honduras
CABCORP has been advised by its Honduran counsel, Bufete Forlar, that judgments based upon civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States would only be enforceable in Honduras if (i) it relates
to an action in personam, (ii) the ruling is not a default judgment, (iii) the obligation is legal in Honduras, and
(iv) the courts of the country issuing the ruling provide the same enforcement to Honduran judgments.

viii

Nicaragua
CABCORP has been advised by its Nicaraguan counsel, Consortium Taboada & Asociados, that judgments
based upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States would only be enforceable in
Nicaragua if (i) the action is exercised due to a personal action, (ii) the obligation is legal in Nicaragua and not
against Nicaragua's public policy principles, (iii) the courts of the country issuing the ruling provide the same
enforcement to Nicaraguan judgments, (iv) the ruling is not a default judgment, unless the defendant was duly and
timely served and such defendant did not appear before the court, and (v) the decision is final and enforceable in the
country of origin. The execution of the foreign judgment must be requested to the Supreme Court of Nicaragua, and
translated into Spanish.
El Salvador
CABCORP has been advised by its Salvadorian counsel, Benjamin Valdez & Asociados, that judgments based
upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States would only be enforceable in El
Salvador if the claimant follows the pareatis process both in the U.S. jurisdiction and in the Salvadorian jurisdiction
where enforcement of the judgment is sought.
Any such final judgment may be enforced in the courts of El Salvador without retrial of the originating action
by instituting exequatur proceedings in the Supreme Court of El Salvador upon determination by such court that:
(i) the judgment comes from a court that has competent jurisdiction according to Salvadorian international
jurisdiction law; (ii) there is no pending or rendered judgment in the courts of El Salvador related to the same cause;
(iii) the defendant was served personal notices, issued in accordance with competent law, of the initiation of the
procedure and of the final resolution, except in the case where the exequatur is being sought by the defendant in
contempt of court; (iv) the cause of action upon which judgment was based does not contravene the law,
constitutional principles or public policy of El Salvador; (v) the documents evidencing the judgment are in authentic
form according to the laws of the judgment country and have been duly legalized by a consul of El Salvador or with
the Apostille; and, (vi) no additional requirements are established in any other international treaty applicable
between the State of jurisdiction and the Republic of El Salvador.
Jamaica
CABCORP has been advised by its Jamaican counsel, Lex Caribbean, that judgments based upon civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States are not enforceable in Jamaica. There is no automatic
reciprocal enforcement of judgment rights afforded to federal securities laws of the United States of America.
Trinidad and Tobago
CABCORP has been advised by its Trinidad & Tobago counsel, Johnson, Camacho & Singh, that the courts in
Trinidad and Tobago will recognize as valid and final, and will enforce, any final and conclusive judgment against
the Company obtained in a New York court arising out of or in relation to the obligations of the Company under the
notes in that such courts would grant a judgment which would be enforceable against the Company in Trinidad and
Tobago without retrial (subject to four exceptions), of a money judgment in personam, of a New York court or other
foreign court of competent jurisdiction which is final and conclusive on the merits and is not impeachable or
examinable on the merits whether for fact or law. These exceptions are (i) where the foreign court acted without
jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment was obtained by fraud (iii) where the judgment was obtained by breach of the
rules of natural justice and (iv) where the enforcement of the judgment will be contrary to public policy. Save as
aforesaid a judgment rendered by any New York State or Federal Court sitting in New York City in respect of the
applicable documents which are governed by New York law will be recognized and given effect to in the courts of
Trinidad and Tobago by permitting such judgment to be sued upon and enforced through the courts of Trinidad and
Tobago.
