Consumer Product Goods Business Peru

2010 was another excellent year for our Consumer Product Goods Business in Peru (CMP). Sales increased 7%, slightly above private consumption growth in Peru. With this, CMP doubled its sales in the last 5 years. The products portfolio continued expanding to satisfy more consumers, and the distribution system continued strengthening its coverage. Thus, in 2010, new products such as: the detergent Marsella Max, Plusbelle shampoo and Kraps cookies were launched. Brands such as Alacena, Bolvar, Opal, Glacitas and Da grew by more than two digits. Furthermore, many initiatives were applied to reach more clients. For instance, early in 2010, a new regional segmentation was implemented, which, among other things, expanded the scope of the Aliados client loyalty program to include more than 500 people. Later, in July, the new exclusive distributor in Tarapoto started its operations. Additionally, Project KAI was implemented to standardize the model to serve key accounts and co-distributors. Likewise, AXUR (formerly MG ROCSA) consolidated its role as co-distributor of Alicorp and received a larger portfolio of products with a nationwide scope. All this, contributed to the core brands increasing their distribution during 2010 so that during the last quarter, the launching of Plusbelle and Marsella Max reached record coverage figures in the main channels. Finally, the 2nd Specialization Program in Commercial Management (EGC) for our sales force began at the Universidad de Lima. In addition, district managers and key account managers embraced a new challenge directing workshops on sales techniques for more than 600 sales people throughout the Network of Exclusive Distributors (DEX).

This increase was mainly driven by Negrita, which experienced a record sales year, growing 35% compared with 2009, which translated in turn, to a 19% share of the Peruvian market. These outcomes were mainly driven by several factors, such as: the value of Negrita (excellent flavor and high 2 liter yield), our permanent and competitive investment in advertising, and the implementation of the exchange promotion Vasos y Dulceras (shared with refreshments in February 2010) in order to increase brand awareness and improve testing levels.

Early in 2010, we re-launched Kan as the juice with the best fruit flavor, repositioning the brand with a best value added for consumers. We also introduced three new flavors: Peach, pineapple and graviola. As a result, Kan became the third most important brand in this category in Peru.

Hair Care
Towards the end of 2010, we launched the brand Plusbelle in Peru, the first launching in Peru of a brand acquired abroad. The campaign was driven by a considerable advertising and promotional support from October through December, including door-to-door sales, which generated the Plusbelle test in 140,000 homes in Lima and six other cities in the country.

This opportunity is aligned with the strategy defined under our Vision for 2015. It is important to mention, that since the purchase of Sanford, the results achieved in both growth and return surpass by far our projections. Similarly, we consolidated the leadership of Plusbelle in the shampoo and conditioner category in both, Argentina and Paraguay, in a year when we widened the price gap until positioning ourselves 20% above our direct competitor. Furthermore, in line with the strategy to develop sales channels, the highest volume growth in Argentina derived from the modern channel.

2010 was a difficult year for the Laundry Soaps category due to unprecedented price volatility for the fats its main ingredient and therefore its shortage. However, the trend was reversed and 2010 closed with a 7% volume increase with respect to volumes in 2009, primarily led by the brand Gran Federal. In the Clothing Softener category, which is represented by the brand Suave Federal, volume grew 7% compared to 2009 results, owing the boost to the re-launching of the brand at the end of 2008.

Cookies
In June 2010, we added Okebon cookies to the brands portfolio in Argentina, thus starting our first incursion in the food category in the country. The brand is well recognized in the Federal Capital and GBA areas. Argentineans remember Okebon for its long history which began in 1955. The permanence over time, the unmistakable flavor of its milk cookies and the simplicity of the proposal (a product which has been always recommended for babies) built among consumers an image of quality, health, safety and trust which accompanied by a strong emotional connection inspires positive associations to the brand. Okebon ended 2010 with 6% volume increase compared to the ones of 2009.

Personal Care
In Hair Care, Plusbelle grew 2% in volume and maintained its leading position in the value segment with 55% share despite widening the price gap with respect to its main competitor. This growth was a result of strengthening brand image after relaunching the brand at the end of 2009. In addition, we invested in a strong advertising campaign during the February-March 2010 and provided increased support to the points of sale. In the Cosmetic Soaps category, a 115% increased in the costs associated to fats and the shortage experienced early in the year impacted sales in this category. Nevertheless, we were able to preserve our position as second in the market. In turn, the brand Plusbelle consolidated its position with 12,3% market share, and the launch of two new limited editions for skin care: Manteca de Cacao and Manteca de Karit. In Deodorants, Plusbelle grew 28% in volume with respect to 2009 results. We also increased market share in the modern channel after launching a campaign through promotional sales force presence in supermarkets to provide greater information about the brand. During September and October, we carried out the umbrella promotion for all Plusbelle categories under the name Una sper mujer merece premios increbles (A super woman deserves amazing rewards). It was the first time to participate in internet social networks.

Consumer Product Goods Business Andean and Central American Region

The Andean and Central American Region (CAM) grew 4% in sales, as a result of a strategy focused on consolidating current brands and seeking operating synergies. As a result, sales grew moderately, but with significant profitability improvements. Growth was mainly driven by higher performance in the following categories: Pasta (+37%), Cosmetic Soaps (+170%) and Laundry Soaps (+44%), and sound cost management efficiencies, which allowed us to maintain our competitiveness in different markets. We launched Don Vittorio in Colombia and Guatemala, re-launched Mimaskot in Colombia and Ecuador, and expanded the Anua portfolio in Ecuador. In Ecuador, consumption recovered significantly as a result of higher performance of our leading brands, after restrictive measures on imports were eliminated (in effect from 2009 to early 2010). Furthermore, during the third quarter, we

implemented changes to our commercial model which permitted to improve our efficacy in the management of the different distribution channels (direct service to the entire modern channel and management efficiencies to the wholesale channel nationwide). Thus, 2010 became again a year of sales growth, mainly driven by the performance of Don Vittorio, which increased its sales by 46%. In that matter, at the end of April, we formalized the alliance between Alicorp and Heladosa of Ecuador for the joint development of the Ice Cream category. We improved our competitiveness in the market by doubling the number of refrigerators and enhancing the product portfolio. With this, Heladosa of which we are current partners became the second largest icecream producer in the Ecuadorian market. In 2010, our Colombia operations underwent a consolidation process consisting of key operating efficiencies, through the Prisma Corporate Program. This Program enabled us to generate important savings throughout the organization. Additionally, on the commercial side, we consolidated our existing categories obtaining a considerable growth in the hair care brand Babysoft (+40% versus 2009), and launched new flavors in our Glacitas and Xplosion cookies. During the second half of the year, we incurred in the Pasta category with the launching of Don Vittorio nationwide. Don Vittorio was launched with a highly competitive value proposal. In Bolivia, we obtained outstanding performance with 63% sales growth, owing to key strategic initiatives, which where focused on increased advertising campaigns and enhanced management of distribution channels through our commercial partner. All this, had a positive impact on the brands, from which standouts: Bolvar laundry soap (with a 45% sales growth in addition to being the leading brand in its category with a 25% share of the market), and Don Vittorio pasta (with 125% sales growth compared to sales in 2009).

two new flavors (Rosa de Jamaica and Mandarina), complementing its portfolio with traditional varieties highly consumed in the country. These initiatives were communicated through advertisements in mass media, television and cable network, as well as through tasting activities in the main points of sale.

Industrial Flours
For the second year in a row, Industrial Flours reached historical figures, owing to strong positioning of its brands, sound management of its pricing strategy, the optimization in the purchase of wheat, and the adequate implementation of promotion and client loyalty-related activities. We preserved our leadership with a 55% market share as a result of aggressive and differentiated strategies, despite the highly competitive climate. Furthermore, thanks to the quality of our products, the technical advice developed for our clients and the permanent communication of new products and tendencies, our core brands Nicolini and Santa Rosa obtained significant sales increases, as did the regional brands Inca and Victoria. In this scenario, the brand Blanca Nieve was the most affected.

Industrial Products
During 2010, we posted record financial results and consolidated an organizational structure focused on capturing new value in three high growth industrial markets: Bread-baking, Food Service and Large-scale Industry. We preserved our leading position of our core brands in each market, improved our service offer and launched new products to meet new needs.

Premixes
Our brand Experta achieved excellent results, with a 32% volume increase, consolidating our leading position with a 34% market share. This is a result of a strong penetration in new clients, as well as of the launching of the new presentations Torta de Chocolate and Panetn Premium and of the consolidation of the technical advisors team within the exclusive distributors, a key aspect in the growth strategy of this category.

Bread Bakery Products

This line of business is focused on the search, development and introduction of innovative solutions for our Industrial bakery customers, aimed at transferring new bakery techniques and products to the market. In this matter, industrial bakeries will improve their businesses, hence, bread-baking in Peru. Two major initiatives were developed to this effect: the consolidation of the Innovation Center for Bread-Baking and Gastronomy, which promoted the training of more than 1,000 bread-baking clients and the development of innovative products for each market segment (new products underwent an acceptance test in Fbula, our bakery model). Additionally, we were able to consolidate a specialized sales team to bakeries nationwide, improving our approach to B2B segments. Furthermore, Alicorp participated as a official sponsor of the Peruvian Bakers Team which participated in the 2010 World Bread Cup in Las Vegas, United States. Thanks to the effort and commitment of the participants, Peru ranked first and classified to the 2012 France World Cup, where it will compete with the 12 best teams in the world.

Industrial Shortenings and Margarines

In 2010, we faced a challenging scenario, with a market contraction due to high prices as a result of increased costs of raw materials. However, both categories managed to achieve outstanding results. The margarines category maintained a leading position participating with 69% of total shipments. During 2010, several key activities directed to the Pastry market, such as: training courses, customized advisory and showrooms with clients, under the brand Primavera, as well as through mass workshops aimed at non-clients, with the support of the brand Regia gave successful results for the category.

Fat Derivatives Category

In 2010, we undertook a restructuring and consolidation process in the category, which included: increasing 39% sales volume to the portfolio, adding new materials, which represented an additional increase of 12%. Thus achieving a 51% total volume growth in the category. It is worth mentioning that 15% of the sales come from abroad. Also, we have closed several commercial agreements with clients in China and Japan.

Shortenings also maintained a leading position, participating with 46% of total shipments. The primary goal for the category was to reverse the contraction in the market by offering an incentive for the production and consumption of bread products with higher fat percentage in their formula. Through these incentives, we promote the consumption of regional products such as: cachanga and alfajor de miel. Similarly, we re-launched the portfolio by modernizing the image of Famosa, Gordito and Panisuave.

Industrial Oils Category

2010 represented a turning point for this category, as we increased sales volumes 13%. In doing so, we reversed the negative trend of recent years after the decline in production of canned fish and emergence of new competitors. This growth was achieved after redefining our target market to include other industries, such as: agribusiness, government food supply programs, bakeries, poultry, sauces, snacks and others.

Food Service
As part of the growth and innovation process of our Industrial Products segment, in 2010 we created a new commercial structure focused on serving the growing gastronomy market. Under the brand Alicorp Gran Cocina, we offered the Food Service market a portfolio of products especially designed for food businesses with superior results and performances. We also offered a specialized distribution system and culinary advisory services that strengthen the value proposal for our clients. As a result, sales volume in the food service business grew 25%, bordering US$ 30 million in sales and encompassing 8,000 clients nationwide.

Omega 3 Category
In 2010, we posted a new sales record with a 35% increase with respect to sales in 2009. Also, three new products were developed to achieve greater efficiency in the clients processes, providng added value and increasing profitability in this category. This result was also driven by a demand growth for Omega 3 worldwide for its beneficial use in cardiovascular and menopause treatments and obesity prevention.

During 2010, shrimp prices reached their highest peak in the last nine years. However, this was not enough to offset the impact of costs increase in shrimp feed production caused by: a sharp rise in raw materials, diseases which affected shrimp crops, and shrimp farmers difficulties to access quality credits. As a result, world shrimp production dropped by 5%. Nevertheless, it is projected that for 2012, shrimp production will recover its positive trend worldwide. Conversely, worldwide fish production increased its volume 8% with respect to previous year due to the development of species with greater volume, such as carp and tilapia. Alicorp was able to neutralize raw material price increases owing to an adequate buying strategy. This allowed to stabilize shrimp feed prices during the year. We also applied a replacement pricing strategy, which enabled us to increase our margins significantly. Furthermore, the permanent progress in Research and Development contributed to stabilize costs, despite sharp increases in raw material prices. Year over year, Alicorp increased its sales volume by 7% through its brand Nicovita. In the Andean region, sales volume grew 15% compared to sales in 2009, an increase primarily led by the success in Ecuador, where sales doubled, from 20,000 to 40,000 tons per year. Total sales for Nicovita grew 20% with respect to the previous year. Meanwhile, the Fish category grew as a result of a diversification strategy that enabled materializing sales, especially trout feed in Peru and Ecuador, tilapia in Ecuador and cobia in Colombia. This translated into an increase of more than 70% in sales volume for the category. In 2010, we established Alicorp Trading (Shenzhen) Ltd. Co. in China and obtained import and sales licenses for feed for shrimp, fish and other aquatic species, in addition to ingredients

and additives for aquiculture. Furthermore, we established Alicorps office in China and the first injection of capital directed to the operation of the company. It is worth mentioning that some tools and activities that Nicovita implemented in 2010 demonstrated our commitment to the industry. Some of these activities included: The Fourth Annual Nicovita Symposium, with more than 250 participants and six sponsors; a Traceability Website, a tool interconnected with our SAP system which offers reliable information to clients, ensuring the quality and safety of our products; Acqua Efitec 2010, a contest that promotes efficiency in production management, which attracted 68 participants; and the 2010 Workshops Program consisting in permanent client training according to the needs of each market.

The knowledge acquired and the contact networks are being used in our programs and daily management. Likewise, we continued with the Summer Vacations program that benefited 600 of our employees children in Lima, Arequipa, Trujillo and Piura. Furthermore, we kept the standard of the annual medical exams countrywide, represented by the slogan Prevention is our best weapon against disease.

Compensations and Corporate Support

We worked on standardizing corporate policies and work plan support with the Human Resources areas of our affiliates abroad. In order to apply a compensation model in line with the growth strategy to the year 2015, the first stage of the project Job Description and Assessment was implemented with the Hay Group methodology, which provided us competitiveness in the local and international market.

Labor Relations
Thanks to the joint efforts engaged by the plant management offices and the Labor Relations area, the working atmosphere at Alicorp Peru, in the case of blue collar workers, improved 4%, obtaining 63% satisfaction, one point above the average satisfaction percentage of the companies in the food and beverage line of business. To achieve this improvement, Labor Relations carried out workshops on good labor practices aimed at managers and heads of the Supply Chain Vice Presidency. In turn, to strengthen a harmonious work atmosphere, we entered into three collective agreements with our unions in Lima and Arequipa, complying, at all times, with the labor framework of the collective bargaining. We implemented the project Youth Labor Training that seeks to contribute to the education of young people, developing their capacities and potential through an educational process covering personal and technical foundations. Upon completion of the program, they will receive a training certificate that will increase their employability in the industry.

Human Resources Administration

The structures of the talks Heads Role Communication were designed with the Communications and Compensations and Corporate Support areas, to strengthen through Human Resources policies the role of human resource management of the executives of the organization. In Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia, the implementation of this activity has already been coordinated and programmed for the first months of 2011. In order to guarantee compliance of the labor framework and good Human Resources practices at Alicorp, we published the Guide for Blue Collar Personnel Supervisors and the Apprentice Guide. Both documents add to the guides and policies that we

At the 2010 Inter-Plants event, for the first time we had the participation of football delegations from plants outside the capital: Calixto Romero (Piura), Balanceados (Trujillo) and Sidsur (Arequipa), whose members shared with us the experience and excitement of participating in this integrating event.

Events
In June, we celebrated in Fundo Mamacona our integration day called The Recipe for Fun, presented under a new format called Talents Show, where employees from the different plants presented different performances and dances that made a good impression on the audience. We welcomed 2,480 employees, who enjoyed raffles and a show presented by a wellknown musical group. Meanwhile, for the third year in a row, we celebrated the Christmas of the Alicorp Child in Parque de las Leyendas. Employees and their families (4,500 people) enjoyed the Christmas show presented by a well-known child entertainer and the new park attractions. Finally, in December we held our Christmas Party. After the traditional Christmas Mass, our General Manager shared the year end results and expressed his gratitude for the effort displayed by every one of the employees in achieving the goals of the organization. The event drew to a close with the participation of a known dance and percussion group, whose members delighted us with a show full of energy, in which some of our colleagues from the different areas also participated.

Organizational Development
In 2010, we focused on contributing to the development of talent and cultural consolidation within the organization, in line with the growth strategy of Alicorp. As part of the SMART Management Excellence Program, 30 new managers and directors of Peru, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador joined the Self-management Platform. During the process, they discovered their leadership styles and preferred management atmosphere. In addition, we performed the first employee-organizational atmosphere measurement at a corporate level, with the participation of our affiliates abroad. The results obtained were highly satisfactory as Alicorp achieved an acceptance percentage of 75%, which positioned us 12 points ahead of the average of the leading companies in Spanish-speaking countries (average acceptance 63%). In order to strengthen our open-door policy, we launched the program Talking to the Management in our international operations. Also, in order to show clarity with respect to our companys strategy, we held group discussion sessions at high management levels in all our affiliates. In Alicorp Ecuador, we implemented the Competencybased Management Model that seeks to obtain a higher performance from our employees and establish our corporate culture. Through Introductory Workshops with the active participation of the Management, our Ecuadorian employees started to work by competencies under the concept Release your Potential!.

Communications
In 2010, we performed an Internal Communication (CI) diagnostic at a corporate level, with the participation of Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia. A total of 175 individual and group interviews were carried out. This diagnosis provided us information on the actual situation of our Internal Communications and enabled us to lay the foundations of our 2011 communications plan adjusted to our needs and prioritizing interpersonal communication. We also designed an Internal Communication Model with an international approach that defines roles, responsibilities and subjects to communicate at local and regional level, and which allows for easier and faster coordination of internal communications in all the countries, respecting cultural differences.

(from 48%) increased the proportion of mothers who feed their children mainly with first course meals instead of soups.

Furthermore, we strengthened our organizational culture and boosted key programs of the company through the development and implementation of more than 70 internal communication plans, pieces and actions, in line with our organizational culture and strategic objectives. The main campaigns undertaken in coordination with different areas were: Clothing Policy, launching of a webpage and online trivia about Competencies-based Management, Road and Pedestrian Signs Policy, etc. In addition, in order to strengthen our communication channels with plant personnel, we implemented the optimization and standardization project of our plant bulletin boards countrywide, making it easier to read and put in order our organizational notices, and making them more visible and attractive. Finally, we developed a new brochure and an institutional multimedia video to present our company to the different stakeholders in a totally updated way.

ethical and transparent relations and on the execution of social investment programs focused on early childhood development. We developed a mapping of our stakeholders to learn about their expectations in relation to Alicorps management of social responsibility. Furthermore, we continued sharing our experiences and success cases in different national and international forums such as: -The Private Sector Solutions in Nutrition, organized by the InterAmerican Development Bank (IADB), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Femsa Foundation in Brazil -The Peruvian Congress -The forum organized by the Nutrition Program of Universidad Villarreal -The Nutrition Program of Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) -The International Refresher Course in Nutrition, CIANA 2010, organized by EsSalud -The forum organized by the Peruvian-Spanish Chamber of Commerce -The Social Responsibility Forum of the National Society of Industries (SNI) -The forum organized by the National Industrial Training Service (SENATI) With regard to social investment, we had the following initiatives:

Television campaign Alimenta el Futuro (Feed the Future)

In May 2010, we launched the first stage of Feed the Future, a television campaign for child nutrition aimed at all Peruvian families with children under five and pregnant mothers. The campaign was broadcast through five channels of open signal television using commercial spots to promote good eating habits, such as balanced food for infants, eating during pregnancy, the importance of breastfeeding, supplementary food, physical activity, proper hygiene, etc., and to end food-related myths. These suggestions are in line with the recommendations being promoted by the Ministry of Health. After transmitting the campaign during 21 weeks, we reached 84% in comprehension of messages issued, the best received

At the beginning of the campaign, 65% of the mothers thought physical activity was important and by the end of it, this perception had grown to 82%1. Furthermore: -We registered significant progress in good consumption practices with regard to the main course: we were able to increase from 48% to 62% the proportion of mothers who state they feed their children only, or mainly, with main course dishes instead of broth. -We strengthened knowledge in mothers and achieved a 10% increase in the awareness of the importance of nutrition during pregnancy. -With regard to breastfeeding, the most relevant change was achieved in their learning that they must give maternal milk to children up to 2 years old. In the baseline study, only 42% stated being aware of that, and by the end, the proportion grew 12 percent points to 54% of the mothers. -The percentage of mothers considering that for their children to be healthy it is important to feed them with baby food once they are six months old increased from 69% to 81%. -The percentage of mothers that are aware of the importance of physical activity grew from 65% to 82%.

Los Nios de Alicorp (Alicorp Children) Volunteering Program

Our internal volunteering program (from our employees, for our employees) had the collaboration of more than 80 volunteers, who dictated educational sessions covering nine important topics concerning nutrition and development of children under five were addressed. Furthermore, three nutritional cooking workshops were conducted with the support of our innovation center Fbula and our nutrition consultant Milagros Agurto. In addition, two clinical campaigns were conducted for the children of more than 110 families of Alicorp It is worth mentioning that our internal volunteering program Los Nios de Alicorp obtained first prize in the category Collaborators of the 2021 Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Award granted by Peru 2021.

Donations Program
Every year, Alicorp promotes a donations program for several institutions. We also contributed with sustainable development projects of the Romero Foundation, such as the program Cuatro x 4 broadcast by two open air channels.

Campaign Healthy Radio

The Healthy Radio: Community radio and child nutrition guide reached more than 150 radiobroadcasters in 2010 in rural areas of Abancay, Andahuaylas, Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica and Puno, who received training in the use of the guide to improve their radio techniques and become opinion leaders in child nutrition subjects in their communities. The guides are translated to Quechua and Aymara.

Good Employers Association (ABE)

We renewed our commitment with the Good Employers Association (ABE) revalidating our certification as Founding Members. This distinction guarantees that Alicorp meets its legal obligations (salaries, social benefits, medical insurance) and with good labor practices in performance, training, recognition and others. Furthermore, we actively contributed with the action plans of five new suppliers who seek to join ABE in 2011.

Recover
For the sixth consecutive year, we implemented the child nutrition educational program Recover, in joint efforts with Critas of El Callao, in five disadvantaged areas of Pachacutec, Ventanilla. The project, which began in September 2010, seeks to benefit 800 children and 500 mothers in the area. Since it

a technological package for farmers to make the most of the seeds yield. One of the most important results was achieved in the Citacocha Valley, Cajamarca, where 100 hectares of durum wheat were sowed, which yielded 3,000 kilos per hectare, when only 1,000 kilos are usually obtained per hectare. Over the years, the project has benefitted more than 2,500 families and has invested more than S/. 2 million (more than US$ 700,000) to optimize the return for farmers in areas of extreme poverty.

S/. 15,680,000 (US$ 5.6 million), and we achieved historical production records in Oil bottling, packing of Shortenings, Margarines, Sauces and Mayonnaise. We also increased manpower production performance by 10%.

Pets Lima
Through improvement techniques and with the unification of products for the different markets, the Galgo project, of Lean Manufacturing, increased its effective production capacity by more than 50%. We might add that energy consumption was reduced 15% per ton and manpower 10%, with respect to 2009, and according to demand, we were able to easily produce a volume of 16.5% more than in 2009, without working Sundays or holidays since September. The packing loss decreased 40% with respect to 2009, while the percentage of non-compliant product was reduced down to 1.68%, the lowest value in the last 3 years.

Corporate Supply Chain

Production
This was an excellent year for all the plants of Alicorp Per, achieving a lower conversion cost (-5%). Furthermore, we implemented Prisma initiativesthat obtained savings of S/. 14.531 million (US$ 5.160 million) and production performance increased by reducing specific use of manpower by 13.3% with respect to 2009.

Detergents
We made significant investments in the Detergents plant to increase the production capacity and we installed a slurry preparation line, an air lift system and a sleeve filter, which, added to the investment made in 2009, increased the detergent blowing capacity by approximately 40%. In the packing area, we also installed three Masipack packing machines, which provide greater capacity and flexibilityfor large bags, thus allowing us to break the production record, 19% more than in 2009. We also reduced the conversion cost, which represented savings of S/. 5.6 million (US$ 2 million). Our Prisma initiatives achieved savings of S/. 0.615 million (US$ 0.218 million). At the same time, we also streamlined the use of electric power, achieving 14% less consumption per ton, and we succesfully reduced clients claims by 70%.

Pasta Plants Lima

We implemented the Prisma initiatives, which allowed savings amounting to S/. 1.125 million (US$ 0.400 million), and a 17% reduction of PNC (Non Compliant Product) compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the PFA and PFL plants increased their production 13% with respect to 2009, and we obtained production records in August and September. Line 1 was implemented at our PFA to meet the demand increase for Cortados (Short noodles), producing 914 additional tons during the year and we installed two state-of-the-art packers at the PFL, with which we improved the packing quality and obtained greater production flexibility. Finally, we also started the tolling service for Carozzi, of Chile, in August.

Calixto Romero
The sales of oleine products achieved 35% increase compared with 2009. We have to say as well that the actual oil loss was reduced at the Neutralization plant. In 2010, we had zero PNC and zero interruptions and were able to comply with 100% of the products required by our clients.

Copsa
Through our Prisma initiatives we achieved annualized savings of S/. 6.487 million (US$ 2.304 million). The new Sauces plant started operating in October, with an investment of

Sidsur
We obtained BASC certification (Business Alliance for Secure Commerce) and renewed our DIGESA (Health Bureau) certification. The Prisma initiatives implemented allowed us to obtain the following savings: -Capture 2010: S/. 820,000 (US$ 290,000 million). -Annualized: S/. 1,100,000 (US$ 390,000 million). We also repaired internal roads and main access to the Sidsur Plant and the Arequipa Mill, and built a gatehouse and refurbished the faade. Meanwhile, we implemented fluidizing systems for bulk noodle, flour and sugar in the cookie production and forage storage systems in silos, thus avoiding third shift packing. We also saved more than 140,000 kWh in electric power consumption with lighting enhancements, streamlining of transmissions at the Victoria Mill and replacement with high efficiency motors. Furthermore, we expanded the wheat storage capacity in the Arequipa Mill silos (1,500 additional tons) and started using the Lean Manufacturing management methods in the Premixes plant and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) up to step 3 in the cookie packers. Finally, we executed a computer-aided surveillance and control camera system to monitor personal access to the property, as well as a fiber optic data network and data communication between the Sidsur and Arequipa Mill properties, using the broad band of Group Alicorp.

Garin Plant
A team of operators of the Garin Plant, which obtained the best results within the EPI Program (International Plusbelle Equipment) which consists basically in the development of self-controlled equipment, was awarded a trip to Lima, where they visited several plants and had the opportunity to get acquainted with the best manufacturing practices, following which they made a presentation for their colleagues back home.

We obtained certification for our Tri-Norma System (Quality, Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Management), as well as Civil Defense certificates issued by INDECI for the four properties. We also built and installed sound-proof booths for high power motors and lowered the outside noise level.

Faucett Mill
A milling record was achieved in 2010 and in September we implemented the MFA input warehouse. Likewise, we increased the PMX plant production capacity.

Distribution
The projects presented by the personnel enabled us to achieve annualized savings amounting to S/. 1.550 million (US$ 0.550 million). Altogether, they submitted 57 savings initiatives, 70% of which were implemented in 2010. Among them we must mention several transportation optimization ideas, such as palletized deliveries, agreements with clients for longdistance shipments and changes in the distribution network, as well as improvements in the logistics of the Ice Cream category through the Just in Time implementation with the mobile channel and the resizing of our logistic capacities. In Consumer Product Goods, inventories were streamlined in Lima. In Colombia, several streamlining strategies were executed towards improving the logistics performance.

Trujillo Mill
We were issued our safety certificate by the National Institute of Civil Defense of the Regional Government of La Libertad; in addition to reducing the dust in the packing area by 70% after modifying the machinerys aspiration system. Furthermore, we changed the carousel packing system and the control sieve, improving packing reliability. Lastly, we streamlined the packing area, achieving continuous operation of the Fawema machine for the production of 1-kg packs of self-rising flour.

In line with the growth of our Consumer Product Goods and Industrial Products segments, we increased our transportation and warehouse capacities countrywide through negotiations with suppliers. With regard to the expansion of our fleet, we implemented 50-position palletized trucks for transportation from the plants to the distribution centers, we acquired two tanker trucks to transport flour in bulk between plants and to industrial clients, we negotiated with transportation suppliers to acquire 18 additional trucks for deliveries to clients and we continued with the replacement of the oldest trucks in the fleet. In the RANSA distribution center, we formed a work team with the Planning personnel to reduce and streamline inventories with several initiatives. Thus, we implemented the project There is room in the middle and managed to reduce additional space needs to only 2,000 positions. In Trujillo, we increased the storage area by 30%. In Cusco, we inaugurated a 6,000 sq m distribution center, with direct access to train tracks and docking for trucks, and implemented a storage area of 1,000 sq m at the Industrial Products distribution center. As part of the initiatives to improve the delivery service to clients, we separated the planning management and delivery programming for wholesalers from the rest of the clients, establishing different service requirements per distribution channel and client segment. In the case of the supermarkets channel, we are in the process of negotiating centralized deliveries for each chain. Together with RANSA, we negotiated the renewal of leased combustion-driven lifting equipment, obtaining greater benefits compared to the previous contract. In Ecuador, we resumed direct distribution to our clients (before, we channeled distribution through an exclusive distributor). This change implied a new design in the operations, the implementation of a distribution center with Ransa Ecuador, implementation of transportation providers and the establishment of new service standards in the delivery of orders.

In Colombia, we achieved significant savings with the start up of different initiatives like the reduction of inventories, the renegotiation of warehousing and freight rates, the negotiation of centralized distribution with supermarket chains, improvement in the coordination of shipments and transfers from the distribution center to an area with substantial tax incentives. In the Animal Nutrition business, we inaugurated the new warehouse and sales office in Tumbes. With this, we improved warehousing conditions and the image of the brand Nicovita in this shrimp growing area. With regard to the traceability management system, in addition to the GS1 seal re-certification, we implemented the batch-based inventory control in our warehouses in Colombia, a condition essential for the launching of the traceability internet site, a tool that enables clients to verify online the characteristics and quality of the finished product batches. With regard to projects, direct dispatches from the plant to important clients in Ecuador began, cutting lead times and generating savings for the company and the clients. Furthermore, in Colombia, we implemented the direct dispatch project from container to motor vessel, generating savings in the chain. Meanwhile, the first fish feed exports on pallets began, meeting the demands of one of our main clients in Panama. As part of the technical advice program of the NNA, reputable warehousing practice workshops were conducted in Ecuador for the personnel of our main clients farms. This is to raise awareness of the farm staff about the importance of proper handling and care of the food during storage and transport.

Quality
This was the first year in which our different management systems (Quality, Environment and Safety) passed the audits for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 recertification simultaneously, completing an important stage of the integration process of these systems.

Annual Report 2010

thousand investment to strengthen and improve security systems and equipment.
We kept the ISO 9001 quality certifications for our plants and distribution area. In addition, the Lamborgini Plant prepared its quality system to be certified in 2011. In Trujillo, the Balanced Food Plant obtained the CE 834/2007 certification from the European Economic Community and kept its Naturlan certifications for organic food and Global Standard One for traceability. At Calixto Romero, we recertified the quality system with the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) for nutritional inputs. At the Copsa Plant, we kept our Kosher certification (standard that regulates food products for the Jewish community) for our oils.

In addition, based on the selection and upgrading of equipment units, our plants generated savings in their electric power consumption: -Rimac: 353,000 kWh. -Copsa: 273,000 kWh. -Lima and Alianza Noodle Plant: 120,000 kWh. -Sidsur 142,000 kWh. At Copsa, we defined the purchase of a modern plant for treatment of effluents, to improve industrial discharges in compliance with international standards.

Industrial Safety
Summing up the outcome of the Occupational Safety and Health Management in 2010, at Alicorp we must state that the total number of accidents was the lowest registered in the last four years, with a frequency rate of 3.37 (disabling accidents per 1,000,000 man hours), a severity rate of 66.04 (days lost per 1,000,000 man hours) this being the third lowest value in the last nine years and an OSHA Incident Rate of 1.70 (total accidents per 200,000 man hours), the lowest in nine years. Meanwhile, we successfully completed migration of our Occupational Safety and Health System based on Loss Control DNV and on OHSAS Standard 18001:2007, obtaining certification for our system under this international standard, while facilitating integration with the Quality and Environmental Management area. Another achievement was the certification by INDECI of our Callao Mill, the Manco Cpac Warehouse (September) and the Santa Rosa Mill, including the customs warehouses and the Wheat storage yards (August). During 2010, we invested US$ 400,000 in safety systems and equipment, for example, for the start up of the fire fighting network at the Callao Mill (as well as its emergency alarm and lighting system); the implementation of signage and emergency lights at Copsa; the installation of a fire system network and alarm system in the Instant Products plant (Brea); the purchase of self-contained air equipment units and radios for our plants and fire-proof doors for our Central Distribution Center, a cooling system in ethanol tank, etc.

Environment
In 2010, we obtained ISO 14001 certifications for the Callao, Santa Rosa and Faucett Mills, that add to the Copsa Plant, Lima and Alianza Noodle Plant, Sidsur and Calixto Romero Plants. In turn, the Balanced Food plants of Trujillo and Lima, and the Detergents plant, implemented environmental management systems towards obtaining certification in the first months of 2011.

Our BASC Management System also gave us good results when it achieved recertification for our Animal Nutrition plants in Trujillo (April), the Alianza Noodle Plant (November) and Calixto Romero (March) and our headquarters (December). In turn, we completed satisfactorily the external BASC auditing process for the Callao and Sidsur Mills (December), hence we will be recommended to the World BASC Organization for the certification of these plants. In addition, we consolidated with the service providers the homologation process concerning the legal compliance with Supreme Decree 009-2005-TR that requires that all companies that offer services have in place an Occupational Safety and Health Management System, this being a strict requirement of Alicorp in respect to third parties offering their services in our facilities.

Purchases and Foreign Trade

We consolidated our Purchases and Exports management, in close coordination with the different areas that require purchases and we participated in new products projects. Furthermore, different strategies were developed that reduced costs and generated other benefits in the amount of US$ 7,480,000 in the year. In Local Purchases, we negotiated with suppliers in different items such as packing, inputs, spares and miscellaneous supplies; we achieved synergies for the purchase of nine similar inputs with our subsidiaries in Argentina and Colombia; furthermore, we made joint purchases with Grupo Romero and significant savings were achieved under the leadership of Alicorp in the negotiations for different items purchased in large volumes. In Foreign Trade, the main achievement was the reduction of international freight rates. In Imports, we maintained the good taxpayer category, which enabled us to make most of our customs clearances with a green channel, with the immediate release of our merchandise, avoiding extra costs. We achieved Prisma savings on the purchase of spare parts and, with the participation of Indesmar, were able to recover specific import duties on raw material that had been overcharged in 2001. We achieved closer contact with public agencies such as the National Institute of Agricultural Health (SENASA), resulting in improvements in the inspection of raw material shipments; with the General Bureau of Environmental Health (DIGESA), for a better treatment of imports of finished product samples; and with the National Port Authority (ENAPU), with whom we initiated a negotiation to lower rates. In Exports, we managed to cut costs in our operations in border areas by loading and stowing directly into containers, as well as through the direct entry of our cargo into DP World at the

Planning 2010
Corporate Planning in 2010 had a good performance, in particular with regard to consolidating the demand process in Consumer Product Goods Business Peru, which enabled us to achieve approximately 90% accurate forecasts in all Categories, reaching 94% in some months. At SKUs level accurate forecasts reached 71%. These values positioned us among the best company results in an international benchmark. With regard to Exclusive Distributors, a resupplying system was implemented in Lima with fixed inventory by SKU, which improved the supply process to them. Adaptations of the planning processes at corporate level were also started in Alicorp Argentina, having implemented the SAP Planning Modules related to MRP and MPS, in addition to the GPT transportation planning and the demand process, similar to the one applied in Peru. The same adaptions were implemented with the Animal Nutrition Business, where an SCM 5.0 System was installed with the Optimizer module, to start the application of demand processes as the one used in Consumer Product Goods Business Peru. In the Industrial Products Business, we set in motion the segmentation and definition of the products portfolio by office, which will enable us to focus the sales management and the logistic planning management. In the Consumer Product Goods Business Ecuador, we consolidated

engage with local and foreign banks, and adequate conditions in the international market. With regard to our medium-term operations, we refinanced the US$ 60 million loan we had with the Royal Bank of Scotland (initially ABN) with two local banks, lowering the financial cost substantially. We also achieved a considerable reduction of the rate of our corporate bond issued in September 2009, owing to two rate and currency hedging operations made with two international banks. As a result of these actions, we reduced our annual financial expenses by 36.6% with respect to 2009.

Corporate Finances
Treasury and Capitals Market
In 2010, Alicorp continued consolidating its solid financial situation. We closed the year with a net financial debt of US$ 151.8 million and an EBITDA of US$ 218.9 million, reflecting our optimum capacity to continue funding our expansion. Furthermore, we achieved efficiencies, both financial and operative, which contributed to a significant reduction of financial expenses and to the strengthening of our working capital.

Credit Risk
In May 2010, the credit risk rating of our corporate bonds was increased again from AA- to AA, this time by Apoyo & Asociados, which confirmed our financial strength. In 2011, we will continue working to achieve a better rating.

Operational Treasury
As part of a streamlining strategy process applied in several of the companies of Grupo Romero, we transferred our operational treasury processes to Priox, the new shared service company of the Group. The transfer process was completed in July 2010, which represented an important milestone in our objective to increase efficiency in the use of our internal resources.

Trust Fund
At the end of November, we liquidated the trust fund established in 2004, which was used to issue securitized bonds that same year and were completely repaid by the end of 2009. As part of this process, Molinera Inca, a subsidiary of Alicorp, obtained a medium-term structured loan for US$ 40 million for the purchase of the securities held by the equity. This operation, entered into with an international bank, included a rate and currency hedging structure, achieving a very competitive funding cost.

Confirming Operations
In 2010, we increased the use of our factoring lines for suppliers to US$ 27.5 million, channeling our operations through different financial institutions. This system enabled us to offer our suppliers immediate payment for their invoices by discounting them. With these suppliers we were able to access competitive interest rates. In turn, our working capital strengthens as a result of increases in the payment period.

Hedging Operations
During 2010, we were very active in rate and currency hedging operations. With these structures we not only reduced the foreign exchange and rate volatility risk, but also the funding cost. As of the closing of the year, the financial structure of Alicorp presented very low exposure to volatility in rates and quite moderate exposure to exchange rates, while managing to lower our funding cost.

Financing
We continued improving the conditions of our loans by significantly lowering the average rate of our short-term operations for working capital. This was a result of our efforts to

Governance Principle compliance. For Alicorp, a good rating indicates to the local and foreign market that we are committed to the principles of responsibility towards shareholders, showing that the company is governed with transparency, trust, fairness and social responsibility. In order to improve the current return levels, we worked with the Prisma expense reduction program, the execution of which has generated, since it was implemented in 2002, savings of more than S/. 169 million (US$ 60 million) and during 2010, it enabled us to identify 161 initiatives with annualized potential benefit of S/. 28 million (US$ 10 million) and to follow up 169 initiatives with annualized potential benefit of S/. 34 million (US$ 12 million). In our role as strategic partners in business, the Activities Based Costing System (ABC) is a tool that favors the analysis of a comprehensive vision of the business. During 2010, we kept on innovating in the internal process as part of our permanent improvement, making ABC an active participant in the development of our businesses and participating in different scenarios in order to simulate the performance of new category projects, groups of clients and commercial partners.
