LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN To Our Shareholders: I am pleased to submit to you Farmacias Ahumada S.A.-Fasa´s Annual Report for 2005. more as the pharmacy to trust and this has helped sales recovery as a constant trend. During the past fiscal year we persisted in a strategy defined by the Company’s Body of Directors which set the foundations for FASA´s consolidation as the first chain of Pharmacies in Latin America so as to lead the markets in a sustainable and solid manner where we keep a presence. On the other hand, a project directed to improve the pharmacies internal efficiency was stimulated, which provided needed tools to make sure our collaborators offered the best services to each and every one of the clients who call upon our points of sale on a daily basis. The aims of the project, known as project OMEGA, are to create a new style of work in FASA and given that this is its most important objective it hopes to make it extensive throughout all subsidiaries, to optimize merchandise repositioning processes as an additional benefit in the stores, to improve customers services and protocols, and to improve visual merchandising aspects as well and the overall products mix in the pharmacies. Consistent with this objective and as a result of analysis and reflection by the Company some key decisions were made in the course of 2005. 1. To evaluate our businesses from the perspective of the arising challenges at present and to identify all sources possible that serve to maximize the commercial, operational and financial environment in each of the countries where we operate 2. To leave the Brazilian market as a concrete option by selling 100% of Drogamed operations and 3. To take back the Company’s expansion work in Mexico and Chile after some years of having been in recess, and keep on opening stores in Peru to lend impetus to growth and increase our market share. Grounded on our premises we have moved forward in our efforts to maximize business, improve the different subsidiaries competitive position, increase profitability by increased efficiency coefficients and in all this lay the foundations for increasing the Company’s worth. Improved Efficiency As part of the efforts to optimize operations and increase efficiency, I would like to single out the work done in Chile that because of operations which have been carried out and an in depth restructuring program has managed to attain a substantial improvement in cost structures, an improved implementation system in stores and has consolidated a course of commercial sustainability. Farmacias Ahumada Chile opted to keep on their in depth strategy for every day low prices while competing with the discounts applied only for some days by the competition. This strategy, aimed to maintain long term margins in equilibrium, provides clients with better permanent prices that do not change in tune with the state of the economy, facilitates price transparency and the message to our clients. In spite of costs implied in this strategy for the short term the outcome has been one where we are already obtaining results out of this effort. We are being recognized by consumers each day Undoubtedly all this efforts will be compensated in the course of the next fiscal year as is clearly demonstrated by the improved results attained in Chile’s operations during the last quarter of 2005. In addition, amongst the initiatives stimulated in Chile I want to single out the incorporation of the new Centre for Distribution to Farmacias Ahumada which started operations halfway through the year in 2005. Located at kilometer 16 of the highway to Viña del Mar, it counts with an automated operation, advanced merchandise repositioning systems and a diversity of elements that improve efficiency. This system is impacting positively at the level of services to Pharmacies and at inventory levels within the Company. This has decreased costs in an important way as well as it has substantially upgraded effectiveness. Likewise, in the course of the year, operations at the Distribution Centre in Mexico were consolidated and the enlargement and modernization of the Distribution Centre for Boticas Fasa in Peru were carried out, in this way increasing by over 60% its area’s capacity for distribution. Furthermore, diverse technological projects were elaborated. Among these we can single out the stores system for operation unification throughout all the subsidiaries. This allowed extended and unified incorporation of the best practices into the systems for each of the countries. This allows each Pharmacy to provide a better level of service to the customer in addition to improving operative controls. As a next step, and on the basis of these improvements, the Company is in a position to be one step further removed from unifying its back-office systems at a regional level. This will allow improved controls as well as to keep on improving efficiency coefficients and achieving an in depth cost reduction. FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 Taking leave of the Brazilian Market In spite of after almost five years in which FASA implemented several efforts to change Drogamed into a money making operation, the Company never reached the profitability and growth objectives which had originally projected from the start. Operations in Brazil, which represented less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated sales, never succeeded in recovering from the meager results it shoed, in spite of permanent restructuring efforts. These efforts implied distracting resources from other operations and had a negative impact on the Company’s results. Dropping out of this market and selling Drogamed, whose sale operation was completed in January, 2006, was definitely the best option for FASA and it represented an adequate decision from the financial and strategic points of view. Having sold the Brazilian operation, FASA is now in a position to substantially improve its financial results during fiscal year 2006. This will allow it to increase its growth and focus on those profitable markets where the Company operates. Furthermore, it will allow it to concentrate efforts on developing new business opportunities. The decision to leave the Brazilian market, a necessary decision although painful, does not imply in any way that FASA leaves aside analyzing new opportunities to expand into new markets which might rise up in the future. Our Company relies on an international vocation and successes in Mexico and Peru have demonstrated this to be so. The excellent results reached during 2005 in these two markets are strongly reflected by the sale increases of over 15% in comparable stores as well as by the increase in their operative results, which compared to the previous fiscal year come up to 102.3% and 47, 7% respectively. Taking Back Growth The year just finished also showed a substantial change in the Company’s emphasis towards its operational growth. The year 2005, after over two years in which Mexico’s Farmacias Benavides as well as Farmacias Ahumada in Chile did not show practically any growth in its number of stores was the year in which the Company started to incorporate new pharmacies , once again. During 2005 the Company incorporated 87 new pharmacies to the network among which there were 26 in Chile, 17 in Peru and 44 in Mexico. Amongst these last ones 26 pharmacies were taken over from Farmacias El Fenix in 10 Mexico. At year end the Company counted on 909 pharmacies which were distributed in Mexico (529), Chile (250), and Peru (130), in this way stood as the number one in Latin America by attending 154 million customers in these three countries in the past fiscal year. What has been stated before is part of the plan to grow for 2006 which contemplates opening over 140 new pharmacies with which we anticipate coming close to 1050 pharmacies at year end. This means a growth of over 15% in the number of stores. This expansion will increase coverage by the stores in the network, will open new markets in cities where FASA today has no presence and will deepen the present coverage as well. To finish, I would like to point out that for the third consecutive year Farmacias Ahumada was honored with the Pro Quality Award 2005, granted by the University Adolfo Ibañez, Adimark, Quality Chile and Capital Journal. This is granted to Companies whose services and attention are best evaluated by consumers. In this opportunity FASA was third in place according to ranking. The other recognition was FASA´s incorporation to the Premium Category- the one best evaluated- according to a Ranking related to Corporate Reputation which is annually elaborated by Collect Market Research and Hill & Knowlton Captiva, who provides recognition for performance to the 25 best evaluated Companies. In addition I would like to sincerely thank the permanent support all shareholders have lent to our Company. Their commitment has been particularly valuable in a difficult year such as 2005, which demonstrates the level of trust in our Company. I am sure that with renewed contributions by our collaborators, who are over 10,000, whose efforts I duly recognize and appreciate, we will be able to attain the Company’s full potential and regain the trajectory of benefits which is illustrated by the Company’s history all which adds to providing greater value as is our shareholders desires. This certainly will allow us to move ahead in the paths of growth and expansion which has been a definitive trait of our Company. Sincerily José Codner Chijner Chairman FASA - Farmacias Ahumada S.A.

Later in 1969 a second pharmacy, located at the corner of Ahumada and Huerfanos, was opened and gave birth to the present Chain’s name. Benefits S.A. with the purpose of diversifying its sources of income and improve services to institutional customers by means of a coverage plan for medication that used electronic administration in enterprises and insurance companies. During the ´70s Farmacias Ahumada started a gradual plan to expand, reaching 10 points of sale. Likewise during that period the Company showed signs of an innovative style of administration which has been maintained throughout time. In 1999 Falabella, S.A.C.I.- the main chain of department stores in Chile became incorporated as an owner of the Company when it acquired 20% by means of subscribing an increase in capital. Parallel to this an agreement was reached with Falabella to use the CMR credit card in those pharmacies the Chain owns in Chile and Peru. Beginning the decade of the ´90s the Company started on a plan of growth , internationalization and expansion in its business areas. In 1992 Farmacias Ahumada counted on 44 pharmacies in the Metropolitan Region . In that same year it started incursions into the regions, opening the first Pharmacy in the Fifth Region. In 1996 the Company started its process of international expansion by means of creating Boticas Fasa S.A. in Peru . That same year the Company inaugurated a Distribution Centre in Chile This allowed the incorporation of important logistical operations efficiencies and to prepare the chains expansion. In December 1997 the Company became an Open Corporation by means of listing its securities in the Santiago’s Stock Market and materialized an increase in capital in the amount of US$21 million (historical value). Two years later , in 1999, a second increase took place in the amount of US$ 49 million. In 1998 , ABF is created as an affiliate and Administrator of Pharmaceutical 40 In the year 2000 an association was established with AIG Capital Partners Inc. (AIG) by means of constituting Fasini Private Corporation. FASA participated in it with a 65% and AIG with a 35% . This was for the purpose of a joint incursion in the Brazilian pharmaceutical markets. In May that same year it acquired 77% of Drogamed in US$ 25 million (historical value). This was the principal Chain of Pharmacies in Parana State, Brazil. Additionally in the year 2000 FASA acquired 50% of the General Nutrition Company S.A. in Chile (CNG) who represented the principal producer of nutritional products in the world, GNC. This transaction permitted the Company to distribute in Chile natural products, nutritional supplements and vitamins. Farmacias Ahumada development plans have been oriented mainly to identify and evaluate markets with a high potential for growth and controlled levels of risk . With this in mind the Company was restructured during the year 2000 into three divisions within its Chain of Pharmacies operating in Chile, Peru and Mexico. Furthermore a Corporate area was created to coordinate FASA at strategic and global levels. A key factor in its expansion strategies is to invest in those companies where intervention in its management and operations is possible and where it is possible to approve or reject their investment projects and obtain added value by means of FASA´s business unit’s experience, management skills and operational capacities. During 2001´s first half, property participation in CNG was increased by 67% and Farmacias Ahumada attained 100% control of its business in Peru and Brazil. In this latter country and in conjunction with AIG it acquired 15% and 23% left of Fasa and Drogamed Drugstores properties respectively. During the first two months of 2002 a “Master” contract type was signed with GNC in relation to the territory in Peru. In October of that same year a similar type of contract was signed with Brazil. On December 23 rd , 2002 Farmacias Ahumada S.A. took control of shares in Far-Ben S.A. a C.V. Mexican society by subscribing payment of an increase in capital in Far-Ben for US$ 45 million. In October, 2003 the Distribution Centre in Mexico starts operations and starts receiving merchandise from suppliers in a centralized way in order to supply all the pharmacies. We made use of our high purchase volumes to establish direct relationships with suppliers, with no middle-men. This was done by centralizing orders whose destination was the Distribution Centre and that by process flows and technologies would supply the pharmacies activities. In January 2005, Farmacias Ahumada S.A. and AIG Capital Partners reached an agreement by which Farmacias Ahumada acquired 35% of what was Drogamed and doing this it succeeded in controlling 100% of this Company. In May 2005, 26 pharmacies were incorporated to C.V.´s Benavides Chain of Pharmacies S.A. as a result of divesting from the C.V society El Fenix Pharmacies where there was 50% of participation. In May 2005 the new Distribution Centre in Chile also started operations and had an actualized picking system and new areas for maneuvers where suppliers could operate efficiently and make use of the most advanced repositioning software. In addition, during the first semester of 2005 the Farmacias Ahumada central offices in Chile relocated to Santiago’s downtown district. In January 2006 FASA completed 100% of the sale of Drogamed, its Brazilian affiliate. In over 36 years of operations Farmacias Ahumada have been able to establish solid competitive advantages that sustain its present leadership in the pharmaceutical retail industry as the number one Chain in Latin America. The Company’s size, its know how about the business, the solid positioning of its trademarks, the privileged location of its pharmacies , its strategic alliances and the vast services and products it delivers are an integral part of its business strategy. FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 41 DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS Fasa´s main objective is to maximize the economic worth of its patrimony by means of stable growth founded on pharmaceutical retail business that are rigorously evaluated and administrated. Fulfilling such an objective is sustained as an investment strategy focused on increasing the Business Units value as well as the acquisition of new enterprises. The factors previously mentioned allow FASA to carry out investments that contribute to profit growth and conduct an appropriate risk assessment on account of the business in which it participates in. A key factor in this strategy considers carrying out investments that require significant experience, management skills and a capacity to be operated by FASA and its Business Units. These conditions require investments in some companies where definitive intervention in their management and operations is needed as well as the power to approve or reject their investment projects. GROWTH STRATEGY FOR DRUGSTORES® The Business Units management is evaluated periodically by means of established mechanisms for these purposes and in order to receive additional information about each one of them, to carry out analysis about them, to consolidate them and lend support to management in decision making. Investment projects are required to fulfill corporate profitability standards which have to be adjusted to the risks involved in each operation and in each country. This active type of participation works for big projects as well as for the construction for example of a new distribution centre and small projects such as stores that are opened. One of our principal objectives is to widely satisfy the needs of our customers for whom we seek to provide the best alternatives in solving their welfare and convenience expectations as well as establishing a long term relationship. The Drugstore® development as a solution is based on innovation which serves as one of the pillars in our strategy to be different in the market. For this purpose it is important as a development factor to fall back on an exceptional team of professionals who actively interact with the Business Units and provide advice in evaluating investment projects and who are permanently attentive to new business opportunities in their respective business areas within the Latin American market. 42 Our growth strategy has been based on pharmacies such as the Drugstore® which is supplied with the widest variety of medicines and products related to health, hygiene and personal care, adding them as solutions and convenience goods. The Drugstore® format uses gondolas for self-service, comfortable parking and extended hours. All these characteristics are geared to facilitating the purchase experience for our customers, obtaining that their visits to our pharmacies be prompt, easy and as effective as possible. The profile of this type of commercial premises is one of a 200 to 450 m2 area which offers up to 10.000 different items and counts on two cashier lines so that our customers obtain a better service and an expedited exit from the store. US$9.802.4 billion. This market is highly atomized, considering that 70% of invoicing was carried out by independent pharmacies. This market is characterized by the fact that Mexico allows OTC medicine sales (American acronym for prescription free medicines) in gondolas and the commercial business do not need a Chemical Pharmacist present to be able to operate. As a consequence of this we also have to compete with supermarkets and other retail operators. In spite of not being mandatory FASA is incorporating professional pharmacists on a permanent basis in each one of its pharmacies in Mexico. This strategy will make the difference with our competitors. Farmacias Benavides had 3.3% participation in Mexico during the year 2005. The sale of pharmaceutical products represented 53.0% of sales by Farmacias Benavides in 2005. PROFILES OF OUR MARKETS FASA participates in a pharmaceutical market estimated as being close to US$12.200 billion. An estimated 9, 9% of this market is in Chile, 85, 6% is in Mexico and 4, 5% is in Peru. These three markets differ in their characteristics as far as concentration, maturity, capacity and regulations. The Chilean pharmacies market is consolidated, dynamic, and very competitive and four main competitors have 93% of its share as a result of the expansion strategy by the chain of pharmacies. Farmacias Ahumada show the best productivity per each pharmacy when it is measured according to the percentage of market share over the number of commercial business points and its sales per commercial business. We took back expansion at the end of the year 2005 which meant opening 21 pharmacies and represented close to 10% growth over the previous year. The highest degree of concentration in the industry has resulted in changing the competitive focus and going on to a strategy to compete based on price fundamentally. Nevertheless, the most significant factors related to differentiation are: quality of services, convenience, available assorted products, pharmacies format, strategic alliances, technological development and mechanisms to attain customer’s loyalties. The Chains of Pharmacies Peru started developing in Peru during 1996 when FASA internationalized and created the “Boticas Fasa” Chain. The market there is still extremely atomized even though the industry has been able to develop. There are five principal actors who approximately own 50% share of the market. Boticas Fasa are the leader with 13.6 % participation during 2005. The sales of pharmaceutical products represented 77.4% of sales by Boticas Fasa COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR SUPPLIERS In order to generate innovative solutions for our customers we establish cooperative relationships with our suppliers. FASA´s policy is to achieve a close relationship with suppliers, collaborating with them in generating a proposal that is unique and different and which will allow us to maximize our customer’s welfare and profit making by shareholders. It is through this process of collaboration that we seek to plan activities and projects which lead us to maximize sales as a mutual benefit. A tool which facilitates this society with our suppliers is portal B2B by which they can access internet and be able to communicate directly with the Company to consult on diverse relevant information items and in relation to the commercial and financial relationship. Pharmaceutical products in the Mexican market sold in 2005 approximately FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 43 OUR OWN STRATEGIC TRADEMARKS AND STRATEGIC TRADEMARKS In a continuous process to achieve income diversification and margin generation the Company has validated the offer that combines Pharmaceutical products with Convenience products offered under a selfservice format. The increasing evolution of our Own Trademark in more advanced markets is a response to better informed customers who value and look for convenience and who have experienced the Own Trademark positively and trust supporters of the trademark. All this translates itself in customers willing to try and grant opportunities to alternative trademarks different to what they are habitually accustomed. The offer to the consumer is to deliver convenient alternatives as well as a guaranteed quality by means of products under our Ones Own Trademark, FASA®. These become validated for the consumer when they constitute “an intelligent option” supported by our trademark and our quality/price ratio. This translates into constituting itself in an innovative program for the development of a Trademark of its own FASA®, and becoming committed to clients to deliver the best product alternatives in regards to price and quality. This includes being part of categories such as: Medicines under OTC conditions for sale (sale free medicaments), Natural Pharmaceutical Products, Medical Accessories, Self Control Equipment, Care and Personal Hygiene Products, Consumer Products and General Merchandise. Such a development program has become extended to all countries where Fasa is present having taken advantage and succeeded in materializing exchange opportunities among the countries and by means of having suppliers in common who guarantee the products qualities. 44 “Quality of products” is considered to be a critical variable for the Ones Own Trademark’s success and continuity through time. FASA orients material and professional resources to sustain strict Quality Control procedures by which products are tested during the productive process and later on when routine analysis are performed on finalized products. Likewise there is today a certification process for new suppliers. On the other hand, under the model “Controlled Trademarks” the Company has been incorporating exclusive product lines with international prestige which focus on customer’s loyalties and image generation. These have evolved as well as a response to the estimated potential demands. Among these one can find trademarks such as “Sally Hansen”/La Cross (A leading trademark in the USA for nails and hand care); “ROC” from Johnson & Johnson (An internationally recognized cosmetic trademark); “Crest” from Procter & Gamble (A leading trademark in the USA market for personal hygiene and dental care); “Rimmel” (A leading cosmetic trademark in the UK) ; “Heno from Pravia “ a Puig product (Internationally known personal care and personal hygiene trademark; “John Frieda” from Kao (Recognized leading trademark in the USA for beauty parlors and hair care) ; “Jobst” from BSN Medical (Leading world trademark that helps in peripheral circulatory problems) among others. At a consolidated level Our Own Sales and Controlled Trademarks in sum represent 6.1% of total sales by FASA, 11% of its sales in Chile, 2.7% in Mexico and 7.1% in Peru GNC AS AN EXAMPLE OF DIFFERENTIATION GNC, the number 1 North American trademark in nutritional supplements is 70 years into the world market and counts on a complete line of beauty products and dieting, vitamins & minerals, energy and antioxidants, prevention and sports nutrition. Presently it can be found in more than 57 countries worldwide. In Chile, GNC has been distributing through FASA for 6 years. In 2005, among other achievements, a strong plan for the expansion of selling points attended by specialists was implemented as well as the first TV campaign for the trademark. GNC maintains a strong leadership within its category in the Chilean market. During 2005 record sales were attained and over 200 different products were offered. In Peru during 2005 GNC completed its fifth year of operations attaining growth sales levels close to 57% in comparison with the previous year. This was based on incorporating new products and applying excellent publicity together with promotional tools. At presently GNC counts on 24 sale points who offer specialized attention. EXCELLENCE IN PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES Chile During 2005 a total of 195.000 infirmary attentions were provided at 29 infirmaries distributed throughout the country. It is important to point out the important support provided by the Nursing Units during the health campaigns which were developed in our pharmacies during 2005 as for example the vaccination campaign, the month dedicated to prevention, the hear and diabetes campaigns. Farmacias Ahumada Chile counts on 137 subsidiaries that provide Pharmaceutical Attention and where our pharmacists carried out over 75.000 biochemical tests that included control of glycemia cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure. The Information Center for Medication and Toxicology attended over 190.000 consultations via the telephone or its web page. Our Master Prescriptions Book elaborated over 500 recipes for the different medical specialties, the most important of which are nutrition and dermatology. The strategic objectives of the Master Prescriptions Book are efficiency, quality, and safety in carrying out preparations. All this allows the professional acknowledgement of the prescribing physicians who on a daily basis forward prescriptions to us. FASA is committed to the health of all its customers and orients its efforts to deliver excellence in its pharmaceutical services. A part of this is to carry out strict controls in pharmacies and distribution centers that will ensure the best running of the operation and fulfilling the health norms in each of the countries. Furthermore it goes further as it takes on world tendencies related to regulatory subjects and as it plans actions that the Company has to accomplish to anticipate changes by this demanding industry. FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 45 MEXICO The line of supporting professionalism in pharmacies service delivery continues during 2005. For the purpose just mentioned Chemical Pharmacists continue to become integrated into Farmacias Benavides Network. During 2005, 127 new pharmacists were hired. In addition the elaboration of recipes continued in agreement with the medical prescriptions included in the Master Prescriptions Book implemented in the course of 2004 and which is located in Monterrey City PERU Four pharmaceutical attention units, where counsel is provided as to the correct use of medication as well as follow up with therapeutic medication for chronic patients, were implemented successfully. During December the successful closing of the “Second Pharmaceutical Attention Diploma Program” took place. This being the only one that took place in Peru. This program was done jointly with the Chemistry Faculty at the National Mayor University of San Marcos. The program was conducted exclusively by Boticas Fasa. During 2005 our Chemical Pharmacists from Arequipa obtained the first and second place in the contest “Good Pharmacy Practices” organized by the School of Chemical Pharmacists in that city. The Fasa Master Prescriptions Book completed 120 thousand total preparations which resulted in an increase of sales in comparison with the previous year. In this way Fasa consolidated its leadership in the market , supported by the delivery logistics it applies and the variety and quality of products and services it has developed THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY Our vision in respect to information systems has been always one of lining technology up with the business strategy by creating an informational architecture which allows working the way up and become actualized in the course of time. This is achieved by integrating the different information systems which are being developed in more advanced markets and improving the Company’s productivity. 46 World class technological solutions have been developed and are always being focused on the efficient and correct attention to the customer. These have been exported from the Chilean operation to the rest of those countries where FASA participates. The pharmacies and their personnel have been equipped with a diversity of tools in an attempt to attain faster work and decrease waiting time to upgrade customer care. The entry door to this is the POS or the point of sale which during 2005 have been brought together in Chile and Peru, countries that applied the same type of implementation throughout their stores. The POS solution in addition to the Back office system in the store not only carries out traditional sale activities but also includes functional actions that generate added value at the time of purchase. For example it provides information about complementary products, accepts multiple payment mechanisms, checks registry of Master Book of Prescriptions, gathers donations to charities, etc. All sales are registered on line and a control is kept of every sale. Another important focus of the projects developed by the area is one to improve the chain of supply , this implies automating the whole logistics process, attaining efficiency, reducing costs and improvements which relate to availability and carries minimum costs. In line with the aforesaid, during 2005: • A new Distribution Center was built in Chile which was equipped with automated technology. FASA by means of this implementation attains similar logistic standards to the ones existing in the best European pharmaceutical distribution centers. Needless to say these standards are also over an above the levels in Chile and the rest of Latin America. • Mexico and Chile have consolidated a purchase process by which purchase order generation, dock assignments, date and time of reception are automated and communicated via electronic means so as to make it transparent to those using the system. The purchase is realized totally by means of expert computer systems. • The points of sale have also actively incorporated the use of Radiofrequency for inventory administration. This tool is used in reception activities for parcel- trays, in selective or total control on a product by product basis, merchandise’s reception from suppliers with or without purchase orders, selective consultation about inventories, price check-ups, devolution to suppliers, etc. All these activities take place automatically using no papers. We have achieved by this means an inventory in line, error free, avoiding stock outs at points of sale as much as possible and with a minimum waste. This functionality was developed 100% at home and fully integrated to Sap’s inventory units. • At a corporate level, Headquarters management also was consolidated during 2005 the Hyperion System which focuses on financial and commercial planning systems, automates planning, budget elaborations and reports. On top of this, this is a consolidation tool which provides a whole business range of vision to all executives. • The system’s area started consolidation as a service area for shared systems, that is, many of the applications started to become developed centrally providing services to all the countries. In addition this generated substantial costs reductions, eliminated duplicity in tasks and created process and applications unity in all the countries.

FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 51 RISK FACTORS The principal sources of risk for the Company are: Risk by the increase of alternative channels of competition The incorporation of alternative channels in the distribution of pharmaceutical products, such as supermarkets for example, could result in a decrease in the market participation or/and on a greater pressure over the commercialization margins. Nevertheless, the Drugstore format mitigates such an impact. The Institutional Clients increasing importance in the health industry considered as a risk factor. The efforts by insurance Companies, Health Insurance Companies (Isapres) and other Institutional Clients to control health costs could result in these entities acquiring greater importance in purchasing decisions related to medicines that stem from their beneficiaries. This would imply that they exercise greater pressures over the commercialization margins or establishing direct agreements with laboratories. To anticipate these tendencies FASA created its subsidiary ABF, Pharmaceutical Benefits Administrator which is oriented precisely towards attending the requirements of Institutional Clients. Internationalization and Growth being considered a risk The Company has developed an international expansion program covering Mexico and Peru, as well as in the future it might consider other Latin American countries. The result of this process depends to great degree on the Company’s capacity to administer and to be able to adapt its business models to the specific business conditions in those markets it decides to enter. Political, regulatory and economic country risks. An adverse change in the political, regulatory and economic conditions in the countries could negatively impact the Company’s results even though it is present in those countries qualified as Investment Grade. 52 RISK CLASSIFICATION Farmacias Ahumada Corporation risk classifications as of December 31st, 2005 are: Shares Bonds Humphreys First class, level 2 A Fitch First class, level 3 ASUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES BY THE COMPANY Clients Farmacias Ahumada clients added 154 million persons who sought service at the pharmacies in Chile, Mexico and Peru on a daily basis.

Their layout was corrected and equipments were modernized for the points of sale which would allow greater efficiency and precision in sale controls. In addition, 24 hour services offer was expanded to include 71 subsidiaries in 2005, out of 38 in 2004. By these means we continue to work for the improvement of the purchasing experience and of our customer’s loyalty. The commercial efforts by Farmacias Benavides during 2005 was directed principally towards positioning the Pharmacies category, by implementing a strategy to reposition price images focused on the most important chronic characteristics in the market. Own Brand products continued to be developed and new products were incorporated to these in the pharmacy’s areas (first aid and free sale medicines), care and personal hygiene, consumption and photography. In respect to the Distribution Centre opened at the end of 2003, over 100 suppliers managed to become incorporated in 2005 which pointed to an even greater challenge related to control and optimization at the time of reception and of shipping as well. Regardless, the improvement in quality of service at the Distribution Center allowed pharmacies to reduce inventory days in the Company substantially and at the same time a greater availability of products in the pharmacies was guaranteed. This succeeded in increasing 27% to 38%. the level of participation by the Distribution Center in supplying pharmacies. Likewise the logistics System JDA-E3 was consolidated during 2005 for assisting the replacement process by suppliers. This allowed increasing services level by suppliers in over 9 points without increasing the Distribution Center’s inventories. As a result the productivity of the inventory replacement processes was increased while that which was not needed was reduced and optimum stock levels were secured to face expected demand. Upon the year end the Company employed 5,569 persons, 4,973 of which work at the pharmacies.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 111 ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED ON DECEMBER 31st, 2005 AND 2004 (In thousand Chilean pesos) I. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS 1. INCOME STATEMENTS ANALYSIS Accumulated results for Farmacias Ahumadas S.A, up to December 31st, 2005, reached a loss of Ch$ 3,349 million pesos. Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 registered a loss of Ch$ 1,239 million pesos compared to profits of Ch. $21 million pesos during the same period in the previous fiscal year. The quarter’s loss is due to a negative impact by the amount of Ch$ 4,477 million pesos in non operational results due to the sale of the affiliate Fasa do Brazil- Participacoes S.A. which was finalized January 26th, 2006. If the negative impact of the sale of the affiliate in Brazil is eliminated, the final net result of the quarter would turn out a profit in the amount of Ch$ 3,238 million pesos. Results for the fiscal year ended December 31st 2005 and 2004 show the following variations: 2005 Th.Ch$ Operational income Cost of sales Operating margin Administration and selling expenses Income before income Taxes Income tax Minority interest Amortization goodwill Earn (Loss) fiscal year 112 627.477.993 (470.135.445) 153.006.684 157.342.548 (150.673.002) (151.047.768) (9.872.311) Non-Operating Income (6.177.085) 117.695 2.996.361 2.062.897 3.245.118 6.294.780 (7.538.629) (2.052.223) 2004 Th.Ch$ 630.269.716 (477.263.032) 2.333.682 Operating Income (3.349.373) (29.962) 1.712.758 3.863.388 a. Operational Results: The Operating Margin achieved during the last quarter of 2005 reached Ch$ 39,424 million pesos which compares positively with the Ch$ 38,587 million pesos for the third quarter of 2005. The Operating Margin for the fourth quarter of 2004 was Th.Ch$ 40,623. The Operating Margin obtained the fourth quarter of 2005 was a profit of Ch$ 2,334 million pesos, reflecting an operational profit during the fourth quarter of 2005 in the amount of Ch$3,436 million pesos greater than the Ch$3,099 million pesos for the same period of the previous year which represents an increase of Ch$ 3,381 million pesos compared to the third quarter of the year 2005. The consolidated income during 2005 amounted to Ch$ 630,270 million pesos, over 4.4% higher to Ch$627,478 million pesos attained during the previous year. These figures are the consequence of increases in sales at comparable stores (over a year), and of the investments realized for the establishments, distribution centers and for the systems that have increased income around Ch$ 1,058 million pesos and an increase in operating margins of 2,2% in respect to the third quarter of the present year. The Administration expenses and for sales reached Ch$ 150,673 million pesos (23,9% of sales) and positively compare to Ch$ 151,048 million pesos (24,1% of sales) during 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2005 the administration and sales Expenses reached Ch$ 35,988 million pesos, a lesser amount to the Ch$ 38,532 million pesos for the third quarter of 2005 and to the Ch$37,524 million pesos for the same period of the previous year. This decrease is explained principally by the lesser operational expenses as a result of the restructuring implemented during the course of 2005. Income and expenses for each business unit are as follows: Chile Revenues (in millions of Chilean pesos) Ch$ 2005 2004 Peru Ch$ Brasil Ch$ 227.457 249.777 48.811 40.984 21.600 37.176 Chile Ch$ Perú Ch$ Brasil Ch$ Expenses(in millions of Chilean pesos) 2005 2004 174.867 190.333 37.490 30.957 Mexico Ch$ Total Ch$ 332.402 299.541 México Ch$ 15.515 26.705 249.391 222.140 630.270 627.478 Total Ch$ 477.263 470.135 b. Non-Operational Results: The non-operational results up to December 31st, 2005 reached a loss of Ch$9,872 million pesos compared to the losses in the amount of Ch$ 3,527 million pesos accumulated during the third quarter of 2005. This variation is principally explained by the negative effect of the sale of the affiliate Fasa do Brasil-Participacoes S.A. for Ch$ 4,477 million pesos. 2. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS The principal components of the assets and liabilities up to December 31st, 2005 and 2004 are the following: ASSETS Current assets Fixed assets Other assets Total Assets 2005 Th.Ch$ 2004 Th.Ch$ 140.169.023 101.685.749 34.078.104 140.409.259 99.649.472 53.741.492 275.932.876 293.800.223 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 113 Current Assets: Current Assets up to December 31st, 2005 experienced a decrease in the amount of Th.Ch$240,236 in respect to the closing period of the previous year. This is principally explained by the following: a) Increase of financial assets (cash and equivalents) for Th.Ch$929,974. b) Decrease in receivables from related companies for Th.Ch $2,191,107. c) Increase in short term deferred taxes for Th.Ch$ 746,120. Fixed Assets (net): Up to December 31st, 2005 this item showed an increase of Th.Ch $ 2,036,277 with respect to the same date as the previous year. This change is explained principally by the construction project of the new distribution centre in Chile for Th.Ch$3,000,000 approximately and because of the openings of new establishments in Chile, Mexico and Peru. Other Assets: Other Assets up to December 31st, 2005 presented a negative variation in the amount of Th.Ch$19,663,388 when compared to the previous year. This variation is principally explained by: a) Investment decreases in related companies for Th.Ch$ 2.309,473 corresponding to the sale of Soc. Drogueria y Farmacias El Fenix S.A. de C.V. (Mexico). b) Decrease in investment values in the amount of Th.Ch$ 14,987,639, amount which was maintained by the affiliate Fasa do Brasil- Participacoes S.A. and which was unconsolidated up to December 31st, 2005. c) Decrease in the greater investment values in the amount of Th.Ch$ 6,815,999 explained by the non-consolidation of the affiliate Fasa do Brasil- Participacoes S.A. in the amount of Th.Ch$3,799,830 and due to larger amortizations in the amount of Th.Ch$1,378,738 due to changes in the amortization deadlines of the greater value by the affiliate Farmacias Benavides S.A. de C.V. d) Decrease of long term deferred taxes in the amount of Th.Ch$7,909,983 which is principally explained by changes in Mexico’s Tax Laws. e) Decrease in Other assets for the amount of Th.Ch$1,836,649 which is explained mostly by lesser judicial deposits in the amount of Th.Ch$1,258,332 which belong to the former affiliate Fasa do Brasil- Participacoes S.A. not consolidated up to December 31st, 2005.

This net variation is explained principally by: a) Decrease in Obligations with banks on a short term bases in the amount of Th.Ch$2,818,006 mainly explained by the non consolidation of the affiliate Fasa do Brasil-Participacoes S.A. up to the ·1st of December, 2005. b) Increase in the following bookkeeping entries: Short Term Obligations with the Public (bonds) in the amount of Th.Ch$1,387,343, Accounts receivables for Th.Ch$4,250,400, Sundry Creditors for Th.Ch$1,890,536 and Provisions for Th.Ch$1,898,951. c) Decrease in short term deferred taxes for Th.Ch$11,496,424 explained by legal changes in Mexico. Long Term Liabilities: This item presents a decrease of Th.Ch$5,523,674 in respect to the previous year. This variation is explained principally by the following: a) Decrease in the following bookkeeping entries: Long term Obligations with the Public (bonds) for Th.Ch$3,277,597 that were represented as for the short term, Long Term Provisions for Th.Ch$1,786,547 and Other long term liabilities for Th.Ch$1,701,391. b) Increase in long term sundry Creditors for Th.Ch$1,457,954 which is generated principally by receivable debt to AIG Brasil Special Situations Fund. Equity: Equity presented a decrease for Th.Ch$ 5,418 million pesos compared to the previous year. The variation is explained by a decrease in Other reserves in the amount of Th.Ch$1,319 million pesos corresponding to the elimination of the adjustment due to conversion differences at the affiliate Fasa do Brasil- Participacoes and the decrease in withheld earnings for the amount of Th.Ch$ 4,099 million caused by decreases in profitsfor the fiscal year and lesser transitory Dividends in fiscal year 2005. 3.

MARKET RISK ANALYSIS 1. Interest Rate Risk: Most of the obligations are the result s of obligations with the public (bonds) these have fixed rates of interest. The Company administers the risk of interest rates oriented towards its debt structure in the long term and towards a proper combination associated with cash flows generated by operations. 2. Exchange rate type of risk: The Company maintains term deposits operations in US dollars and in other Current assets in US dollar operations for short term obligations. There are short term operations in liabilities in American dollars that are not significant in respect total liabilities. The Company who as an enterprise operates in different markets faces risks in terms of rates of exchange that respond to the fluctuations in the Mexican pesos and in the new Peruvian soles with respect to the Chilean peso. For this reason monetary assets and liabilities are maintained in equilibrium in these currencies implying a non significant exposition to exchange fluctuations. 118 3. Risk hedging policies: Company policy matches the currency in which it carries out financial operations (for assets and liabilities) with the operative flows generated by its operations. For this reason the Company has not found it necessary to incorporate additional hedging operations except for contracts maintained with FASA with the objective of mitigating the risks associated with a debt for R$21 million which it serves as a guarantor. 4.

To the Shareholders and Directors Farmacias Ahumada S.A. 1. We have audited Farmacias Ahumada S.A. balance sheets as of December 31st, 2005 and 2004 and the corresponding income statements and cash flows for the years closing on those dates. The preparation of such financial statements (including their corresponding notes) is Farmacias Ahumada S.A. management’s responsibility. Our responsibility consists in expressing an opinion on those financial statements supported on our audits. 2. We conducted our audits according to auditing norms generally accepted in Chile. Such norms require that we plan and carry out our work in order to attain a reasonable degree of certainty that the financial statements are free from significant errors. An audit requires an examination, on a test basis, of the evidences supporting the amounts and the information provided in the financial statements. An audit also includes the assessment of the accounting principles utilized and of the significant estimates made by the Society’s management .Furthermore an audit evaluates the overall financial statements presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis of support for our opinions. 3. The financial statements already mentioned have been prepared to reflect Farmacias Ahumada S.A. individual financial situation as per the criteria described in Note 2, and before consolidating the subsidiaries financial states on a line by line basis as detailed in Note 9. As a result, these individual financial states ought to be read and analyzed jointly with the consolidated financial states of Farmacias Ahumada S.A. and its subsidiaries, states which are required by the generally accepted accounting principles. 4. In our opinion the individual financial statements which have been mentioned above make a fair presentation of all significant aspects of Farmacias Ahumada S.A. financial situation up to December, 2005 and 2004 and of the results of its operations and cash flows as well for the years closing on those dates, in conformity with the principles described on Note 2. Renzo Corona Spedalieri TPN 6.373.028-9 INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 127 NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands of Chilean Pesos) Note 1. Company Registration On October 15, 1997 the Company was registered under Nº 0629 in the Securities Registry kept by the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance and therefore is subject to supervision by this entity. Note 2. Accounting Criteria Applied a) Accounting period The present individual financial statements cover the fiscal years from January 1 to December 31st, 2005 and 2004. b) Preparation bases The individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which have been issued by the Colegio de Contadores de Chile (A.G. Chilean Accountants Association) and those specific norms and instructions issued by the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance. Where and when discrepancies may arise, the norms issued by the Superintendence prevail. These financial statements have been issued only for the purpose of carrying out an individual analysis of the Company since its investments and results in subsidiaries are recorded within their Equity Value (V.P.) and therefore have not been consolidated on a line by line base. This treatment does not change the net income for the year nor the shareholders’ equity. Taking this into account, these statements must be read jointly with the consolidated financial statements which are required by generally accepted accounting principles. c) Presentation bases For the purpose of comparing, the financial statements presented up to December 31, 2004 have been updated beyond an accounting way up in 3,6% and some figures in the financial statements have been reclassified. d) Price level restatement The financial statements have been restated for inflation, with the purpose of reflecting the effects of variation on the currency’s purchasing power during the course of both respective financial periods. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) variations in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (3,6 and 2.5% up to December 31st, 2005 and 2004 respectively) is used as the frame of reference. In addition, revenue, cost and expense accounts have been updated on the basis of the monthly CPI variation with the purpose of expressing all financial statement balances at their closing values. e) Conversion bases Assets and liabilities at the end of each financial period have been expressed in Chilean pesos in accordance with the following parities: 2005 Ch$ Details United States Dollar Unidad de Fomento (Chile) 512,50 17.974,81 The pertinent exchange differences are accounted for in the results for the fiscal year. 128 2004 Ch$ 557,40 17.317,05 f) Marketable securities Marketable securities correspond to investments in mutual fund shares, shown at their respective share value at the end of each fiscal year. g) Inventories Inventories are shown at their acquisition cost adjusted for inflation and not to exceed their net market value. The provision for obsolescence is estimated considering the merchandise with low sales turnover. h) Bad debts estimate At the close of each fiscal year, the bad debts provision has been determined according to criteria based on the unpaid balances’ age. The parameters used to determine the bad debts provision and protested documents are as follows: Days Trade Receivables % 31-60 61-90 91-120 121-150 151-180 181-240 241-300 301 and over 2 10 15 20 40 60 80 100 i) Fixed assets Fixed assets are shown valued at purchase cost adjusted to reflect inflation. j) Fixed assets depreciation Fixed assets depreciation is determined following the straight-line method, in accordance with their estimated service life. k) Leased Assets Fixed assets acquired through financial leasing are included in the Other Fixed Assets item and are booked at the current value of the contract, that is to say, subtracting the value of the installments and the purchase option at the interest rate expressed in the contract. These assets are not the legal property of the Company so that it cannot freely dispose of them until exercising the purchase option. l) Intangibles In accordance with the norms in Technical Bulletin Nº 55 issued by the Chilean Accountants Association, they are valued at their acquisition cost plus all the expenses related to their purchase; they are amortized in a maximum 40 year period. Rental Premiums are presented at their cost corrected for inflation and are amortized within terms of the respective lease agreements. m) Investments in related companies Investments in related companies are shown valued according to the Equity Value method, as stipulated in Form Letters 368 and 1697 issued by the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance. Indirect subsidiaries abroad keep their accounting records in the currency of their respective country and they have been translated into Chilean pesos in accordance with the instructions in Technical Bulletin Nº 64 issued by the School of Chartered Accountant. Foreign subsidiaries have been classified as Parent Company extensions or as investment vehicles. n) Income tax and deferred taxes Income taxes are determined on an accrued basis in accordance with current tax law. Deferred taxes are recorded in accordance with the terms in Form Letter Nº 1,466 of January 27, 2000 issued by the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, based on the temporary difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their accounting basis, according to Technical Bulletins 60, 69 and 71 issued by the School of Chartered Accountants. INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 129 o) Obligations with the public (Bonds) These obligations are shown at their par value plus interests and inflation adjustment accrued at the end of the fiscal year.

INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 153 ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED ON DECEMBER 31st, 2005 AND 2004 (In thousand Chilean pesos) I. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS 1. INCOME STATEMENTS ANALYSIS Accumulated results for Farmacias Ahumadas S.A, up to December 31st, 2005, reached a loss of Ch$ 3,349 million pesos. Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 registered a loss of Ch$ 1.239 million pesos compared to the profits of Ch.$21 million pesos from the previous fiscal year. The quarter’s loss is due to a negative impact by the amount of Ch$ 4,477 million pesos in non operational results due to the sale of the affiliate Fasa do BrazilParticipacoes S.A. which was finalized January 26th, 2006. If the negative impact of the sale of the affiliate in Brazil is eliminated, the final net result of the quarter would turn out a profit in the amount of Ch$ 3,238 million pesos. Results for the fiscal year ended December 31st 2005 and 2004 show the following variations: Sales Cost of sales 2005 Th.Ch$ 226.280.842 (170.111.603) Administration and selling expenses (58.882.628) Net Income (Loss) for the year 154 (61.522.469) (3.349.373) 2.104.142 1.871.066 3.975.208 1.456.236 63.626.611 (4.805.609) 2004 Th.Ch$ 248.697.978 (185.071.367) (2.092.220) Non-Operating Income Income tax (2.713.389) Operating Income Income before Income Taxes 56.169.239 Operating Margin (111.820) 3.863.388 a. Operational Results: The Operating Margin achieved during the last quarter of 2005 reached Ch$15,573 million pesos which compares positively with the Ch$13,804 million pesos for the third quarter of 2005. The Operating Margin for the fourth quarter of 2004 was Ch$ 15,153 million pesos. The Operating Margin obtained the fourth quarter of 2005 was a profit of Ch$1,252 million pesos, greater than Ch$9 million pesos during the same period of the previous year which represents an increase of Ch$ 2,396 million pesos compared to the third quarter of the year 2005. These amounts are the consequence of increases in sales at comparable stores (over a year), of the investments realized for the establishments, distribution centers and for the systems that have meant increases in income of around Ch$ 2,942 million pesos and an increase in operating margins of 12,8% in respect to the third quarter of the present year. The expenses on Administration and sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 reached Ch$14,321 million pesos, a lesser amount than the Ch$ 14,947 million pesos for the third quarter of 2005 and than the Ch$ 15,144 million pesos for the same period of the previous year. This decrease is explained principally by the lesser operational expenses as a result of the restructuring implemented during the course of 2005. The non-operational results up to December 31st, 2005 reached a loss of Ch$2,092 million pesos when compared to the profits in the amount of Ch$ 878 million pesos accumulated during the third quarter of 2005. This variation is principally explained by the negative effect of the sale of the affiliate Fasa do Brasil-Participacoes S.A. for Ch$ 4,477 million pesos which is recognized as an earning from Investments in related companies. b. Non-Operational Results: 2. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS The principal components of the assets and liabilities up to December 31st, 2005 and 2004 are the following: ASSETS Current assets Fixed assets Other assets Total Assets 2005 Th.Ch$ 52.616.548 55.676.214 26.902.915 80.496.558 160.016.021 2004 Th.Ch$ 26.962.751 81.628.549 164.267.514 INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / FASA ANNUAL REPORT / 2005 155 Current Assets: Current Assets up to December 31st, 2005 experienced a decrease in the amount of Th.Ch$ 3,059,666 in respect to the closing period of the previous year. This is principally explained by the following: a) Decrease in financial assets (cash and equivalents) for Th.Ch $2,701,794. b) Decrease in receivables from related companies for Th.Ch $1,502,538. c) Increase in inventories for Th.Ch$ 1,240,085. Fixed Assets (net): Up to December 31st, 2005 this item did not undergo significant changes compared to the previous year. Other Assets: Other Assets up to December 31st, 2005 presented a negative variation in the amount of Th.Ch$ 1,131,991 when compared to the previous year. This variation is principally explained by: a) Investment Increases in related companies for Th.Ch$ 2,694,374 b) Long Term Debtors Decreases for Th.Ch$ 418,574. c) Decrease in long term receivable notes and documents and of accounts receivable from related companies for Th.Ch$3.082.820.

This variation is explained principally by the following: a) Decrease in Long term Obligations with the Public (bonds) for Th.Ch$2,575,890 that were represented as for the short term. b) Decrease in the deferred long term taxes for Th.Ch $1,617,238. Equity: Equity presented a decrease for Ch$ 5,418 million pesos compared to the previous year. The variation is explained by a decrease in Other reserves in the amount of Ch$ 1,319 million pesos corresponding to the elimination of the adjustment due to conversion differences at the affiliate Fasa do Brasil- Participacoes and the decrease in withheld earnings for the amount of Ch$4,099 million caused by decreases in profits for the fiscal year and lesser transitory Dividends in fiscal year 2005. 3.

MARKET RISK ANALYSIS 1. Interest rate risk: Most of the obligations are the result s of Leasing operations and of obligations with the public (bonds) which have fixed rates of interest. The Company administers the risk of interest rates oriented towards its debt structure in the long term and towards a proper combination associated with cash flows generated by operations. 2. Exchange rate type of risk: The Company does not maintain current assets in US dollar operations for short term obligations. There are short term operations in liabilities in American dollars that are not significant in respect total liabilities. The Company who as an enterprise operates in different markets faces risks in terms of rates of exchange that respond to the fluctuations in the Mexican pesos and in the new Peruvian soles with respect to the Chilean peso. For this reason monetary assets and liabilities are maintained in equilibrium in these currencies implying a non significant exposition to exchange fluctuations. 3. Risk hedging policies: Company policy matches the currency in which it carries out financial operations (for assets and liabilities) with the operative flows generated by its operations. For this reason the Company has not found it necessary to incorporate additional hedging operations except for contracts maintained with FASA with the objective of mitigating the risks associated with a debt for R$21 million which it serves as a guarantor. 4.

On the 10th of March, 2005, the board of Farmacias Ahumadas S.A. agreed to propose to the Regular Shareholders Meeting, to meet on the next 28th of April, 2005, the distribution of a Definite Dividend in the amount of $2,175,000,000 which amounts to $14, 50 pesos per share, charging this with the Temporary Dividend of $10 pesos distributed on September 29 th, 2004. 2. On October 27th, 2005 the Board learned of an existing demand initiated in Mexico by the brothers Domingo and Felipe Benavides Pompa who against the rest of the Benavides’ family and of the Banco Fiduciario, principally, and in addition of Farmacias Ahumada and Farmacias Benavides among others, requested the nullity of certain actions and contracts that had taken place in the course of 2002. This related to the 12% ownership of the company which in no way affects the control Farmacias Ahumada has over Farmacias Benavides. The Company’s lawyers informed that this demand stands on no grounds and that it should be rejected on all counts.
