In 2010 the Company did not have any significant business combinations.

iv) Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data.

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma financial data represent the Company's historical financial statements, adjusted to give effect to (i) the acquisitions of Grupo Tampico and Grupo CIMSA mentioned in the preceding paragraphs; and (ii) certain accounting adjustments mainly related to the pro forma depreciation of fixed assets of the acquired companies.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments assume that the acquisitions were made at the beginning of the year immediately preceding the year of acquisition, and are based upon available information and other assumptions that management considers reasonable. The pro forma financial information data does not purport to represent what the effect on the Company's consolidated operations would have been for each year, had the transactions in fact occurred on January 1, 2010, nor are they intended to predict the Company's future results of operations.



i) On April 30, 2010 FEMSA exchanged 100% of FEMSA Cerveza, the beer business unit, for 20% economic interest in Heineken. Under the terms of the agreement, FEMSA exchanged its beer business and received 43,018,320 shares of Heineken Holding N.V., and 72,182,203 shares of Heineken N.V., of which 29,172,504 will be delivered pursuant to an allotted share delivery instrument ("ASDI"). Those shares are considered in substance common stock due to its similarity to common stock, such as rights to receive the same dividends as any other share. Under the ASDI, it was expected that the allotted shares would be acquired by Heineken in the secondary market for delivery to FEMSA over a term not to exceed five years. As of December 31, 2011, the process of delivery of all shares has been completed (and 10,240,553 shares had been delivered to the Company as of December 31, 2010) (see Note 9).

The total transaction was valued approximately at $7,347, net of assumed debt of $2,100, based on shares closing prices of € 35.18 for Heineken N.V., and € 30.82 for Heineken Holding N.V. on April 30, 2010. The Company recorded a net gain after taxes that amounted to Ps. 26,623 which is the difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the book value of FEMSA Cerveza as of April 30, 2010; a deferred income tax of Ps. 10,379 (see "Income from the exchange of shares with Heineken, net of taxes" in the consolidated income statements and Note 23 C), and recycling Ps. 525 (see consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity) from other comprehensive income which are integrated of Ps.1,418 accounted as a gain of cumulative translation adjustment and Ps. 893 as a mark to market loss on derivatives in cumulative comprehensive loss. Additionally, the Company maintained a loss contingency of Ps. 560 as of December 31, 2010, regarding the indemnification accorded with Heineken over FEMSA Cerveza prior tax contingencies. This contingency amounted to Ps. 445 as of December 31, 2011 and Ps. 113 has been reclassified to other current liabilities (see Note 24 B).

As of the date of the exchange, the Company lost control over FEMSA Cerveza and stopped consolidating its financial information and accounted for the 20% economic interest of Heineken acquired by the purchase method as established in NIF C-7 "Investments in Associates and Other Permanent Investments." Subsequently, this investment in shares has been accounted for by the equity method, because of the Company's significant influence.

After purchase price adjustments, the Company identified intangible assets of indefinite and finite life brands and goodwill that amounted to € 14,074 million and € 1,200 million respectively and increased certain operating assets and liabilities to fair value, which are presented as part of the investment in shares of Heineken within the consolidated financial statement.

The fair values of the proportional assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of this transaction are as follows:



Summarized consolidated balance sheet and income statements of FEMSA Cerveza are presented as follows as of:



As a result of the transaction described above, FEMSA Cerveza operations for the period ended on April 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009 are presented in a single line as discontinued operations, net of taxes in the consolidated income statement. Prior years consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes were reformulated in order to present FEMSA Cerveza as discontinued operations for comparable purposes.
