Dear Shareholders,
2011 was a memorable year for australis
Seafoods, because we successfully com-
pleted the opening of our company, and,
although we are just in our fourth year of
existence, we became part of the Santiago
Stock exchange, which has historical sal-
mon companies. the market was supporti-
ve of our management decisions and future
plans. With demand exceeding supply by 22
times, we placed 12.77% of the company
shares with about 3000 new investors, rai-
sing approximately $71 million uSD. the goal
of this capital injection was to finance part
of our five-year business plan, which is am-
bitious, organic and sustainable.
the year was also memorable because we
intensified our policy of taking strategic
positions that support future development.
In this vein, we bought three fish farms:
las Vertientes in the la araucanía region,
Ignao in the los ríos region and Ketrún
rayén in the Bío Bío region. this brought
us to nine fish farms, the amount deemed
necessary for our growth and development
plan to 2015.
also, in order to ensure quick, strategic po-
sitioning in the north american market, we
1. letter from the president
bought 50% of true Salmon pacific Hol-
ding, one of the largest fish and seafood
marketers in the united States and Canada.
With sales of over $150 million, according to
2011 figures, and headquartered in Florida,
this acquisition will help us meet the pre-
sent and future demands of our customers
in both markets.
as we work within the framework of an
industry that must adapt to new sanitary
regulations, among those one which vir-
tually eliminates egg imports, our subsidiary
landcatch, which focuses on genetics, pro-
duced approximately 24 million eggs for our
use and approximately 42 million to supply
the domestic market.
2011 was also memorable in terms of re-
sults: we have become the world’s fastest-
growing salmon company and one of the
most profitable on a national scale, with an
approximate production of 30,000 tons of
salmon, sales of $164 million uSD and pro-
fits of $27.4 million uSD, 59% more than
that obtained in 2010.
In 2012 we plan production to be above
40,000 tons of salmon, and then we plan to continue with our previously designed pro-duction plans.
We understand that we are in a solid po-
sition to face the next periods, which will
bring changes in salmon and trout prices
due to increased global supply from the ra-
pid recovery of the Chilean salmon industry.
We have a solid financial position, outstan-
ding assets, good technical foundations
and a team of expert executives, which will
enable us to execute our ambitious develo-
pment plan and consolidate the position of
australis in the industry.
We will face these coming months in the
way we know best, with our low-cost poli-
cy and flexibility to adapt to challenges and
seize new opportunities that arise, while
maintaining our conviction that our me-
dium- and long-term business foundations
are solid.

We successfully opened on the stock market and managed to
collect approximately tuSD$71 to finance the
company’s development plan. this became
the moment when investors recognized the
company’s strength and reputation.
2. Important Milestones 2011
We created a major purchase plan that allowed us to stimulate
growth and consolidate our position raising
freshwater smolt in controlled environments.
as part of this plan, we acquired three fish
farms: las Vertientes, located in the Cunco
commune, la araucanía region; Ignao, lo-
cated in the lago ranco commune, los ríos
region; and Ketrún rayén, located in the los
Ángeles commune, Bío Bío region.
We acquired Salmones Galway and Salmones Mitahues, holders
of aquaculture concession applications in the
aysén region, which allows us to make fur-
ther projections for operations.
In order to increase sales in north america, we purchased 50% of
true Salmon pacific Holding, the second lar-
gest fish and seafood product marketer in the
united States and Canada by volume.
We obtained the Global Gap certi-
ficate for all operational farms and processing
plants. this organization sets voluntary stan-
dards for certifying aquacultural and agricul-
tural products worldwide. this facilitates our
entrance into european, asian and north ame-
rican markets.

allowed operations to be expanded within
the value chain of atlantic pacific salmon
(coho) and trout and the different processes
in each of the companies to be optimized.
It is worth noting that aMSa’s beginning of
operations in March of 2008 coincided with
one of the biggest crises that have affec-
ted the salmon industry in Chile. the rise in
energy supplies and raw materials, a rapid
deterioration of the exchange rate, and the
greatest health crisis in the national salmon
industry caused by the ISa caused a great
value loss in the industry.
In response to the situation, there were
constant modifications to company proces-
ses in the year 2008 in order to minimize
the risks that were so prominent in the in-
dustry. as a result, aMSa’s operating inco-
me for 2008, its first year of operation, was
$565,000 uSD, and for their second year of
operation, tuSD$12.2. the latter result con-
trasts strongly with the results obtained in
the same period by the rest of the industry,
which suffered the greatest losses in its
history. It is worth adding that australis has
had a successful track record, with an ope-
rating income for aMSa in 2011 greater than
In mid-2003, Mr. Isidoro Quiroga Moreno
acquired a stake in the freshwater smolt
production company australis S.a. (herei-
nafter “aSa “) and became its controller in
2005. In 2007, through different companies,
the acquisition of 100% of aSa shares was
completed. at this time the company had
fish farms located in the Metropolitan re-
gion, and facilities in the la araucanía re-
gion were subsequently incorporated.
that same year, australis Seafoods S.a. was
established as the parent company (Gru-
po aSF) in order to give a corporate group
structure to the activities in the aquaculture
industry.
In addition, the Group decided to participa-
te in the business of seawater salmon and
trout fattening and marketing the fish in in-
ternational markets. For this purpose, in no-
vember of 2007, the company australis Mar
S.a. was established (hereinafter “aMSa “).
the integrated operation of aSa and aMSa
grew to include everything from the buying
of eggs and/or smolts (cultivated in the fres-
hwater facilities of aSa) to fattening in the
aMSa cultivation centers, where the pro-
duction cycle ended. this business model

tuSD$45, confirming its consolidation.
Furthermore, Grupo aSF understood that
the need to integrate the production of eggs
into a genetic enhancement program (family
selection) in Chile was an essential element
for the development of the business and its
value chain. the high risk associated with
egg import was considered, as it is known
that this can be a vehicle for the transmis-
sion of new diseases for these species. to
this end, in late october 2009, Grupo aSF
acquired 100% of the shares of landcatch
Chile S.a. (hereinafter “laCSa”), from the
Scottish companies landcatch limited and
landcatch natural Selection limited. laCSa
has one of the best and oldest breeding pro-
grams in the country, which makes Grupo
aSF stand out in the industry.
along with the purchase of laCSa shares, a
technical Support Contract was signed with
landcatch natural Selection limited, who
agreed to provide technical consulting to
laCSa on breeding issues in the reproduc-
tion of salmonid species and reproduction
programs, among other similar issues, effec-
tive until December 31st, 2015, renewable for
periods of three years from that date onwards.
In 2010, in consideration of the growth
of Grupo aSF, the new acquisitions and,
above all, the new challenges ahead, the
Company decided to execute a corporate
re-organization process of its subsidiaries,
in which laCSa assumed all the activities
of aSa. as a result of this process, the acti-
vities of Grupo aSF were separated into two
business areas: (i) production of genetically
improved eggs, fry and smolts exclusively in
freshwater through laCSa, and (ii) fattening
of salmonid products and the marketing and
export of salmon to primarily foreign mar-
kets, through aMSa.
In June 2011, australis Seafoods opened on
the Santiago Stock exchange, successfully
raising tuSD$71.3 to finance the company’s
growth plan.
Finally, in December 2011, australis Seafoods
acquired 50% of the main salmonid marke-
ter in the united States, true Salmon pacific
Holding, for uSD$7,525,000. the purchase
of this strategic asset will allow better dis-
tribution of products in the american market.
In this stage of development of Grupo aSF
and its business, its controller, manage-
ment, employees and partners understand
that the Company operates under a mission,
vision and values that are summarized as
follows:
Missionto offer world-class products, developed by a production process that is environmentally friendly,
has the highest hygiene standards and is responsible towards its workers, all under an efficient
and flexible modern management system.
Vision to be recognized as an innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly company that is respec-
tful of the social environment in which it operates, becoming a leading company in terms of costs
and profitability.
Values Commitment to workers: promoting the integral development of our employees in a safe, respectful
and peaceful environment.
Innovation and quality in harmony with the environment: Constant search for the best operating
solutions in order to achieve high-quality production, with the utmost caution and care for the
environment and the surrounding communities.
Best practices: adherence to the principles of best business practices in compliance with the cu-
rrent standards and regulations for all the activities undertaken by Directors, Managers and em-
ployees of Grupo aSF.

a. The Market
Supplythe supply of salmon around the world has
increased steadily in recent years, mainly due
to increased production of farmed salmon. the
catch of wild salmon, meanwhile, has remai-
ned relatively stable over the last decade. Cu-
rrently, approximately 64% of global salmon
production is farmed salmon. (Graph no.1)
the main producers of farmed salmon and
trout are norway and Chile, together accoun-
ting for near 76% of global salmon production
and 86% of global trout production. Both
countries have climatic and sea conditions fa-
vorable for farming these fish, which explains
the high concentration on the supply side.
Graph no.2 and no.3)
prior to the sanitary crisis, which was mainly
due to the ISa virus that hit Chile in 2007,
salmon and trout production in the country
was similar to that of norway. However, the
gap in production between the two coun-
tries increased significantly due to the high
mortality rates affecting Chile in 2008 and
2009.
Since 2009, norway’s total production has
approximately doubled Chilean production,
but this gap is expected to decrease begin-
ning in 2012.

DemandIn 2011, the global demand for atlantic salmon
grew 11.9% from 2010. However, let us recall that
in 2010 there was a decrease in the demand,
with respect to the previous year, due to a re-
duced supply, consequence of the reduction
affecting Chilean production. the main salmon
markets, including the european union, united
States and Japan, together accounted for 69%
of global demand. (table no.6)
PricesIn 2011, the average price for atlantic salmon
was $8.50 uSD/kg FoB Chile, which is an in-
crease of 3% from 2010. pacific salmon
(coho) and trout, meanwhile, reached ave-
rage prices of $5.80 uSD/kg and $8.20 uSD/
kg, respectively, reflecting an increase of 10%
and 15% compared to the previous year. It is
important to note that these two species are
not affected by the ISa virus. (table no.7)
the main destination markets for global sal-
mon and trout exports are the united States,
asia, the european union, russia, and since
2010, latin america. Within these markets,
the norwegian industry primarily caters to
the european union, while Chilean produc-
tion mainly goes to markets in the united
States, asia and latin america.

as for the price of Chilean exports accor-
ding to destination, the growth in trout
shipments to Japan was notable, with
a rise of 19% between 2010 and 2011.
prices of exports to north america for
the same period did not experience sig-
nificant variations for the atlantic species.
However, we can see price increases of
16% for pacific salmon and 13% for trout
in “other markets.” Finally, despite the eu-
ropean crisis, there were increases of 10%,
8% and 8% for atlantic salmon, pacific
salmon and trout, respectively. (table no.8)
If the average annual prices from Decem-
ber 2011 are compared with past prices,
we can see they are the highest in the
last 10 years. (Graph no. 5)
b. The competition an analysis of the number of companies
involved in salmon farming globally shows
a downward trend in the number of partici-
pants, a trend that could take place in Chile as
well. In norway, the number of companies
making up 80% of farmed salmon produc-
tion decreased from 70 to 25 between 1997
and 2009. In Chile this trend stopped in
2009 due to the entry of new players into
the industry. However, in light of new regu-
lations and a new production system, the
industry is expected to consolidate in the
coming years. Currently, more than 50%
of export sales and exported tonnage are
concentrated in the top ten companies.
(table no.9)
d. Trends
Demandon the demand side, there has been an
increased global consumption of animal
protein in recent years, mainly due to an
increasingly wealthier world population.
this, coupled with the global trend towards
increased consumption of healthy foods,
such as white meat and seafood in general,
puts the salmon industry in a position with
high growth potential for the coming years.
In addition, we can see an increase in sales
of products designed for greater consumer
convenience, which will lead to an increased
supply of products with a higher added value.
Globally, there is also a high penetration in
marketing channels in the major markets,
which today require continuous availability
of product. Salmon is an attractive product
that meets this retail industry demand.
a recovery of the major world economies,
after the global financial crisis of 2007 and
2008 and the european crisis in late 2011,
is expected in the coming months, which
would result in a resumption of the growth
in demand seen before these events.
Furthermore, the incorporation and conso-
lidation of new salmon export markets such
as russia and Brazil will create, in the opi-
nion of Grupo aSF, an increase in demand in
coming years.
Supplythe limited capacity for growth of norwe-
gian salmon production and sanitary pro-
blems in the main production area, plus the
fact that wild salmon catches have remai-
ned stable in recent years, place Chile as
the main producer to meet the needs of the
growing global demand.
locally, changes in the regulatory fra-
mework and the implementation of a series
of measures for the industry, including the
creation of production areas or “neighbor-
hoods,” should ensure good sanitary and
environmental conditions that result in
long-term sector sustainability.
the industry is continuously improving the
production system, which, coupled with the
development of new technologies for redu-
cing sanitary risk, should generate better
performance in production and an increa-
sed survival rate.
the sustained supply of salmon throughout
the year has resulted in an increased share
of salmon in distribution channels, and this
trend is expected to continue.
c. Relative market share and evolution
aMSa’s first salmon and trout harvest was
in 2008 and the company’s initial mar-
ket share was modest. Starting in 2010 it
strengthened its position, and in December
2011 it occupied the fifth spot in the leading
atlantic salmon producers ranking.
In the national market, laCSa has been the
main egg supplier and also a major supplier
of high quality smolts. (Graph no.6)

In the sea centers, the fish are monitored
the entire time they are there, which can be
between 10 and 18 months, depending on
the species. this monitoring encompasses
all variables that affect the development
and fattening of the fish, such as their
health and weight gain, among others.
once the fish have reached the harvest
weight or commercial size, they are trans-
ported to processing plants that supply
aMSa with services of live fish collection,
slaughtering and processing, and which
are located in the Chonchi (Chiloé) and
puerto Montt area.
aMSa uses the well boat live harvest sys-
tem, which allows the fish to be transpor-
ted live from the farms to the processing
plants. the system sucks the fish up from
their floating cages and deposits them in
the storage tanks on the well boat.
the advantages of using this harvest sys-
tem are operation speed, reduction of fish
stress, improved quality of raw material
entering the plant, and, of course, sanitary
control of production.
the slaughter process is painless for the
fish and animal welfare and sanitary con-
ditions are carefully monitored throughout
the process.
the processing plants receive the raw ma-
terial (whole trout or salmon) and, using
the latest technology and skilled labor,
transform it into value added products ba-
sed on the requirements of the customers
in the target markets.
once the plant process is over, the end
products, both fresh and frozen, are put
in cold storage. From there, the fresh pro-
ducts are shipped daily in refrigerated
trucks to Santiago’s international airport.
Meanwhile, the frozen products are kept in
cold storage until they are loaded into con-
tainers at -18°C to be transported by sea to
different ports.
the products undergo a strict inspection
in controlled land farms. each of these fish
farms has high sanitary standards in order to
produce and deliver high quality fish.
Fattening in seawater:raising and fattening the fish in seawater
begins when the smolts enter the various
centers, and finishes with the harvest of
fish with a weight of three to five kilograms,
depending on the species. the process
takes place in aMSa facilities or centers,
which are located in the aysén region.
production of atlantic salmon, pacific sal-
mon and trout is detailed below (table no.11):
Genetic development:the genetic program is based on cons-
tant improvement of each generation of
spawning fish. attributes such as growth,
meat color and disease resistance, among
others, are enhanced so that each new
generation has an increasingly high per-
formance. as a result, this genetic im-
provement program satisfies the need to
reproduce fish with high reproductive per-
formance, for both the freshwater phase
and the seawater fattening phase.
It is worth noting that in 2011, 23 million
units of atlantic salmon eggs were produ-
ced in the summer, replacing the need to
import them and surpassing the produc-
tion plan of 16 million for that period.
Below is a table with laCSa’s egg produc-
tion (table no.10):
Raising and fattening in freshwater:raising and fattening in freshwater in-
cludes the incubation, smoltification and
spawning processes of the fish, that is, the
incubation and hatching of the eggs until
they become fry (15 g approx.) and the sub-
sequent raising and fattening of the fry until
they reach smolt condition (100 g approx.).
all these processes take place in laCSa fish
farms located in the Metropolitan, Bío Bío, la
araucanía and los lagos regions in Chile.
We add that Grupo aSF does not have any
lake or estuary concessions for the smolti-
fication process. this process takes place 8.1 business Descriptions
the salmon business is managed through
a value chain extending from the species’
genetic development to export and final
marketing of the products in their various
shapes and sizes.
Salmon farming uses both freshwater and
seawater in its different processes.
the freshwater phase begins with egg pro-
duction, obtained from the spawning sal-
mon (males and females) that, in the case
of laCSa, have spent their whole lives in
freshwater fish farms. the next step is
hatching and raising and fattening the fry
until they become smolts, a condition ne-
cessary for transferring them to seawater.
the sea phase is the last in the farming
process and involves raising and fattening
the fish until they reach the weight requi-
red for processing and marketing.
Below is a brief explanation of each of the-
se processes.

atlantic salmon exports in 2011 were sent to
the following markets:
Insurance on production and assets: Grupo
aSF’s policy is to continuously assess the
benefits of having proper insurance coverage
for the biomass found in both fresh and sea
water in all of its stages (eggs, fry, smolt or
other). Grupo aSF’s main assets, including in-
land fish farms and sea centers, are insured.
the following table shows aMSa sales vo-
lumes for different species (table no.12):
process and are subjected to a microbio-
logical laboratory analysis at every stage
of the process.
Marketing and export:as a result of the strategy mentioned abo-
ve, a variety of products and retail formats
are obtained, depending on the destination
country. the following business strategy is
used to market seawater products:
Pre-sold production and signing medium- and
long-term contracts: 100% of the raw mate-
rial that is transported from the farms to the
collection centers of the processing plants is
pre-sold (supply agreements). For pacific sal-
mon (coho) and trout, prices are agreed upon
for the entire harvest season. For atlantic
salmon, prices for a share of the production
(fresh to the united States) is set a week in ad-
vance, and for other markets (latin america),
set for an entire month. For frozen products,
business closures can go as long-term pro-
grams (3, 6 or more months), depending on
each case. this policy allows for price opti-
mization and reduction of fluctuations of the
spot market price.
Market diversification: the Grupo aSF sales
portfolio is diversified into several markets,
which mitigates the risks and threats of each.
a policy of continuous new market develop-
ment has made this possible.
Client development: Having the best clients
in each market and developing long-term bu-
siness relationships with them is a constant
concern. to foster this, aSF acquired 50% of
true pacific Salmon Holding (tSp), one of the
largest traders of fish and seafood in the uSa
by sales volumes.

Atlantic Salmon, headed to
the United States.
the salmon business inherently involves
a number of risks that affect industry de-
velopment. Some of the factors are:
Market risk: Salmon products fall into the
commodities category, and are therefore
subject to the price variations of the inter-
national market. Because of this, the sales
prices of these products are subject to sea-
sonal fluctuations in price that can be either
upward or downward.
Exchange rate risk: Grupo aSF sales are made
in uSD, and there is an implicit risk in the
appreciation of this currency as compared
to the Chilean peso. Both appreciations and
depreciations of the local currency directly
affect Grupo aSF’s results, since some ex-
penses are in local currency.
Cost of food: among the costs of production
of salmon and trout, food is the most signi-
ficant direct cost, both in freshwater and
fattening business but more so in the latter.
price variations of food come from variables
exogenous to Grupo aSF, such as the price or
cost of fish meal, which in turn depends on
the costs of the extractive fishing industry.
Interest rate: over 75% of the company
debt is subject to a lIBor rate and a fixed
spread, so the variations of this rate directly
affect the company. to date there is no me-
chanism for setting this lIBor rate. the rest
of the debt is in uSD and with fixed rates, so
there is no exposure to rate variations.
Operating risks: Because they are biologi-
cal assets, salmon production is potentia-
lly affected by a number of biological risks.
Some are:
Disease: although diseases are currently
controlled by vaccines, antibiotics, good
handling practices and through the pro-
duction of high quality smolts, we cannot
rule out the emergence of new diseases
or epidemics that could affect production.
predators: the presence of natural salmon
predators, such as sea lions, can mean a
loss of biomass and even the destruction
of the net cages. the industry has imple-
mented a series of preventive measures
that help mitigate the adverse effects
caused by these predators.
natural risks: Salmon growth depends,
among other factors, on climatic and
ocean conditions such as ambient bright-
ness or water temperature that can have
negative effects on fish growth and food
consumption.
Investment and finan-cing policies Considering the country’s egg import res-
trictions, designed to protect the indus-
try from outbreaks of high risk disease
from abroad (case of ISa crisis), and in
order to supply its own needs and those
of third parties, Grupo aSF acquired lan-
dcatch Chile S.a. (“laCSa”) at the end of
2009. this company is a national leader
in supplying smolts and eggs and has de-
veloped a genetic enhancement program
(family selection) that enhances attribu-
tes that increase profitability in salmon
production. additionally worth noting is
the plan this company is developing to
implement infrastructure for meeting in-
ternal egg needs and egg needs of third
parties, as well as internal smolt needs,
in accordance with the spawning pro-
gram that is projected until 2015.
aMSa investments in 2010 were focused
on buying concessions and opening the
ocean centers necessary for fish fat-
tening in the already available conces-
sions. these investments were financed
with medium-term bank credits obtained
at the end of 2008 and refinanced in
2010, and also with the company’s own
resources defined for its reinvestment
plan. In 2011, aMSa made investments
related to the implementation of new
centers necessary for carrying out its
development plan and to the buying of
concessions.
Financing of laCSa and aMSa was co-
ordinated based on the policies of Grupo
aSF, each one maintaining a direct finan-
cing structure with the financial system.

strengthen the different businesses in the group, that is, the freshwater business through the subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a. and
the seawater business through the subsidiary australis Mar S.a. this was done considering that the previous structure of the group
included two subsidiaries for freshwater business, one subsidiary for seawater fattening and other additional subsidiaries, which

Company administrations deems that the standards, amendments and interpretations adoption described above do not have a significant impact on the Company´s consolidated financial statements in the first period of application.
2.3. Basis of consolidationa) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries have power to govern financial and operating poli-
cies, which generally comes with a stake of more than half of the voting rights. When evaluating if the group of companies organized
under australis Seafoods S.a., hereinafter the “Group,” controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights
that are currently possible to exercise or convert are considered. the subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control
is transferred, and are excluded from the consolidation on the date that control ends.
the acquisition accounting method is used for subsidiary acquisition. the acquisition cost is the fair value of the assets relinquis-
hed, of the equity instruments issued and of the incurred or assumed liabilities at the date of exchange, plus the costs directly
attributable to the acquisition. the identifiable acquired assets and the assumed identifiable liabilities and contingencies in a busi-
ness combination are initially measured by their fair value at the date of acquisition, independently of the extent of non-controlling
interests. the cost excess of acquisition on the fair value of the Company´s participation in the identifiable net assets acquired is
recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference
is recognized directly in the income statement.
Intercompany transactions are eliminated, along with balances and unrealized earnings from transactions between related entities.
unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of a loss due to depreciation of the transferred
asset. When it is necessary in order to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries, the
subsidiaries’ accounting policies will be modified.

at the end of the 2010 financial year, australis Seafoods S.a. (parent Company) underwent a restructuring of the company
group in order to simplify its operations, separately defining the freshwater business and seawater fattening business. this
restructuring included the sale of shares within the group, leaving a simpler structure that included the concentration of
freshwater operations in the subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a. (before piscicultura río Calle Calle Spa.) and fattening in seawater
operations in the subsidiary australis Mar S.a.
as a result of this restructuring, the following transactions, among others, were done: on December 16, 2010, australis S.a. sells
a share of landcatch Chile S.a. to piscicultura río Calle Calle S.p.a. on the other hand, on December 20, 2010, at the Sharehol-
ders extraordinary General Meeting, it was agreed to increase the social capital of piscicultura río Calle Calle Spa by tuSD$
10,723 by issuing the respective payment shares. that increase was signed and paid in full by australis Seafoods S.a. (parent
company) by providing all shares held in landcatch Chile S.a. (old) plus a demand note. By virtue of the foregoing, piscicultura
río Calle Calle Spa becomes owner of 100% of the shares of landcatch Chile S.a. (old), so that the latter dissolves and the
former becomes its legal successor. additionally, in the same act, the joint stock company “piscicultura río Calle Calle Spa”
was transformed into a closed stock corporation named “landcatch Chile S.a.”
on December 31, 2010, in extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, the division of australis Seafoods S.a. into two companies was
approved. a new company with the name or trade name “Inversiones en aquicultura S.a.” comes into effect, while the former
maintains the same name and rut. In the same act, the entire equity of the new company and the assets and liabilities of the
divided company they correspond to the new company are approved, all with effect of January 1, 2010. the equity of the new
company, and therefore the amount by which the social capital of australis Seafoods S.a. is decreased, goes to tuSD$ 9,714,
which corresponds to the investment in australis S.a. together with the respective negative goodwill. In virtue of the foregoing,
australis Seafoods S.a. is no longer owner of the company australis S.a.
Subsequently, in July 2011, the Company acquired all the shares of Comercializadora australis Spa, an entity that at that date
had no activity. through this entity, on December 9, 50% of true pacific Salmon Holding Co. was acquired. this company owns
100% of the social rights or shares of true nature Seafoods Inc. and South pacific Specialties llC, companies through which
it develops its marketing of fish and seafood in the united States and Canada.
b) transactions and non-controlling shares
the non-controlling interests are presented under the heading net equity of the Classified consolidated statement of financial po-
sition. the earning or loss attributable to the non-controlling share is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income by function shaping the earning (loss) of the financial year. the results of the transactions between non-controlling sha-
reholders and shareholders of the companies where ownership is shared are recognized within the equity, and, therefore, shown
in the Consolidated statement of changes in net equity.
c) Joint ventures
Shares in joint ventures are integrated by the equity method as described in IaS 31 paragraph 38.
2.4. Financial Information by operating segment IFrS 8 requires entities to adopt the “administration’s focus” when disclosing information about the income of its operating segments.
In general, this is the information that the administration uses internally in order to evaluate segment performance and decide how
to allocate resources.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries present information by segments (corresponding to business areas) based on the financial
information made available to decision makers, with respect to matters such as profitability measurement and investment allocation,
and based on product differentiation, in accordance with the provisions of IFrS 8 - operating Segments. this information is presented
in detail in note 6.
Segments disclosed by australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries are:
- Freshwater salmon cultivation
- Seawater salmon and trout cultivation
2.5. Foreign currency transactionsa) presentation currency and functional currency
the items included in the financial statements for each entity of australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries are measured using the cu-
rrency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). the functional currency of australis
Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries is the u.S. dollar, which is also the presentation currency for the consolidated statements of financial
position.
b) transactions and balances
transactions in foreign currency are converted to the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect on the transaction da-
tes. the losses and earnings in foreign currency, resulting from the transactions liquidation and from the conversion to the exchange
rates at the closing of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, are recognized in the income statement.
c) Foreign currency exchange rates
the exchange rates of the major currencies used in the accounting processes of australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries, against
the dollar, on December 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010 are the following:

For the purposes of transition to IFrS, as permitted by IFrS 1, the most significant land and buildings of the Company’s freshwater
subsidiary were revalued at January 1, 2010. these valuations were carried out based on market value. their subsequent measure-
ment is done in accordance with IaS 16 using the historical cost method. Seawater fixed assets are accounted for both initially and
subsequently at their respective historical cost, minus any cumulative depreciation and impairment, if there was any.
Subsequent costs (replacement parts, improvements and expansions) are included in the initial asset value or are recognized as a
separate asset, only when it is likely that future economic benefits associated with the fixed asset elements will go to the Group and
the cost of the element can be reliably determined. the value of the substituted part is written off in the account. all other repairs and
maintenance are charged in the income statement of the financial year, or the financial year in which they are incurred.
Daily maintenance and common repair costs are included in the profit or loss of the financial year. this is not so for replacements
of significant or strategic parts which are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the assets, based on each
component.
Depreciation of assets is calculated using the straight-line method, systematically distributed throughout useful life. useful life has
been determined based on naturally expected wear and tear, by technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes and/
or improvements in production and by changes in market demand for the products obtained using these assets. land is not depre-
ciated.
estimated technical useful life and their residual values are the following:
Freshwater SeawaterUseful life

Residual value

Useful life
Average
Residual value
TUSD$Buildings 13 142 - -plant and equipment 7 234 10 661Information technology equipment 3 3 - -Fixtures and fittings 4 3 10 20
the assets residual value and useful life are reviewed and adjusted if necessary at closing of each statement of financial position,
in order to obtain the remaining useful life according to the value of the assets.
When the value of an asset exceeds it estimated recoverable value, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount, by
means of the application of impairment tests.
Gains or losses from the sale of property, plant and equipment is calculated by comparing proceeds from the sale with the asset’s
carrying value (depreciation net) and are included in the Income statement.
2.7 Biological assetsCoho and atlantic species salmonidae biological assets as well as trout in the seawater fattening stage are measured at fair value
minus the estimated costs at the point-of-sale, applying weight considerations which are detailed later under this same point, ex-
cept when the fair value cannot be determined reliably in accordance with the definitions in IaS 41. In this case the first consideration
should be finding an active market for these assets.
Moreover, the biological assets associated with the freshwater stage, that is, spawning fish, eggs, juvenile fish and smolts, are
valued at the cumulative cost at the closing date.
the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production process are part of the value of the biological asset, through activation. the
accumulation of these costs at the close of each financial period are compared with the fair value of the biological asset.
Changes in the fair value of these biological assets are reflected in the income statement for the financial year. the biological assets,
which have a projected harvest date of less than 12 months, are classified as current assets.
Calculation of the fair value is based on market prices for harvested fish and adjusted for distribution differences of size and quality
or ranges of normal weights at harvest, taking into account the weight considerations indicated in the following table. this price is
adjusted for harvest, transportation and processing costs, to bring it to its value and condition of bled fish at breeding stage. there-
fore, the evaluation includes the lifecycle stage, the current weight and the expected distribution by size of the fish harvest. this fair
value estimate is stated in the Company’s income statement.
Below is a summary of the valuation criteria:
Stage Asset Valuation
Freshwater Spawning fish Direct and indirect cumulative cost.
Freshwater eggs Direct and indirect cumulative cost.
Freshwater Smolts and juvenile fish Direct and indirect cumulative cost in different stages
Seawater
.
Sea fish Fair value, according to the following:
• atlantic salmon from 4.3 kg in water (4.0 bled), Hon ave-
rage price.
• Coho salmon from 2.5 kg in water (2.3 bled), H&G average
price.
• trout from 2.5 kg in water (2.3 bled), H&G average price
Valuation model
the assessment is reviewed for each cultivation center, based on the biomass of the existing fish at the end of each financial
year (inventory). Details include the total number of fish being bred, their average weight and the cost of the fish biomass. In
the calculation, the value is estimated by considering the average weight of this biomass, which is then multiplied by the value
per kilo reflected by market price. the market price is obtained from a range of prices of latest sales in the month.
Assumptions used to determine the fair value of the fish being bred
the estimation of the fair value of the fish biomass will be always based on uncertain assumptions, even when the Company
has significant experience with these factors. estimates are applied considering the following: fish biomass volume (applying the
subsidiary’s average mortality), average biomass average weight, distribution of weights at harvest and market prices.
Fish biomass volume
the fish biomass volume is an estimate based on the number of smolts in the water, the growth estimate at the time, the application
of the mortality observed in the period, etc. the uncertainty regarding biomass volume is usually lower in the absence of mass mor-
tality events during the cycle or if the fish for some reason have been affected by illness.
together with the above, it is worth noting that this volume, use to calculate the biological asset, includes fish whose average weight
is greater than the cuts already defined for each type. the foregoing translates into an estimate very close to the final volume to be
harvested.
Market Prices
Market prices´ assumptions are important for assessment. In the case of the subsidiary australis Mar S.a. and for the financial
periods corresponding to January 1, 2010, December 31, 2010 and to December 31, 2011, the average prices of recent sales by the
subsidiary were used.

2.8. Intangible assets other than goodwilla) aquaculture concessions
aquaculture concessions acquired from third parties are recognized at historical cost. the useful life of these concessions is mainly
indefinite, since they have no expiration date and do not have a predictable useful life, and therefore, they are not depreciated. Con-
cessions obtained under the new fishing law have a useful life of 25 years. this is renewable according to compliance with sanitary
and environmental conditions. these concessions are depreciated based on useful life.
b) Software
purchased licences for software programs are capitalized based on costs incurred to acquire and prepare them in order to use the
specific program. these costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of 4 years.
Costs associated to the development or maintenance of software programs are recognized when they are incurred. Costs directly
related to production of unique, identifiable software controlled by australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries, which will likely generate
economic benefits that exceed costs for more than one year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include staff costs
who develop software, and any type of cost incurred in development or maintenance.
c) Water rights
these correspond to the rights of water use associated with fish farming technical projects. these rights are indefinite and therefore
not amortized. Water rights acquired from third parties are recognized at heir historical cost.
d) research and development costs
research costs are recognized when incurred. Costs incurred in development projects (related to design and testing of new or im-
proved products) are recognized as an intangible asset when the following requirements are met:
a) technically, it is possible to complete the production of the intangible assetct so that it is available for use or sale.
b) the administration intends to complete the intangible asset in question for use or sale.
c) It is possible to use or sell the intangible asset.
d) It is possible to demonstrate how the intangible asset will generate likely economic benefits in the future.
e) there are adequate technical, financial or other types of resources available to complete development and to use or sell the
intangible asset.
f) It is possible to reliably assess the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
2.9. Interest costsWhen applicable, costs due to incurred interests for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time
needed to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. other interest costs are reported in the outcomes.
2.10 Impairment of non-financial assetsassets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation and undergo anual tests for value impairment losses.
assets subject to depreciation are tested for impairment losses whenever an event or change in business circumstances indicates
that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. an impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is
greater than the recoverable value.
the recoverable value of an asset is the larger of the fair value of an asset minus sale costs and its value in use. In order to evaluate
value impairment losses, the assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGu).
non-financial assets other than bought Goodwill that have suffered an impairment loss are subject to review on each statement of
financial position closing date in order to see if reversals of losses have taken place.
losses due to value impairment may be reversed for accounting purposes only up to the amount of losses recognized in previous
financial years, so that the carrying amount of these assets does not exceed the value that they would have had if these ad-
justments had not been made. this reversal is recorded in the account other earnings (losses).
2.11 Financial assetsaustralis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries classifies financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and receivables, financial assets held to maturity and available for sale. the classification depends on the purpose for which
the financial assets were acquired. the administration determines the classification of its financial assets at the time of the initial
recognition.
Classification of financial assets:
a) Financial assets at fair value changes in profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for negotiation. a financial asset is classified in this
category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of being sold in the short term. assets in this category are classified as current
assets.
b) loans and receivables
loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments not listed in an active market. those
items with expiration of less than 12 months are classified as current assets. Items with an expiration of more than 12 months are
classified as non-current assets.
loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables. these must be accounted for initially at their fair market value,
recognizing a financial result for the financial period that takes place between its recognition and subsequent valuation. In the case
of trade, other debtors and other receivables, it was decided to use the nominal value, keeping in mind the short collection periods
of the Company.
c) recognition and measurement of financial assets
the acquisitions and disposals of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, that is, the date that australis Seafoods S.a.
agreed to acquire or sell the asset.
i) Initial recognition
Financial assets are initially recognized for their fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value
through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction
costs are expensed.
ii) later valuation
Financial assets available for sale and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or later accounted for at fair value are
accounted later for their fair value (with compensation in other comprehensive income and results, respectively). loans and
receivables are accounted for at amortized cost with the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets are written off in the account when rights to receive cash flows from investments have expired or have been
transferred, and australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries has transferred all the risks and rewards derived from ownership.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries evaluates, on the date of each statement of financial position, if there is objective
evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets have suffered impairment losses.
2.12 InventoriesStocks are valued at acquisition cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. the cost is determined by the weighted average
price (Wap) method.
the cost of finished products and products in processing includes the cost of raw materials (value of harvested biological assets),
direct labor, other direct costs and general production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).

net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, minus variable applicable selling costs.
obsolete products or products of slow movement are recognized at their fair value.
2.13 Trade and other receivablestrade accounts receivable are recognized at nominal value, since the average expiration periods do not exceed 90 days. If there is
income associated with the longer term of payment, it is reported as deferred income in the current liability and the accrued portion
is reported in the financial income. at December 31, receivables held by the Company do not exceed 90 days.
additionally, estimates are made on doubtful accounts based on an objective review of all outstanding amounts at the close of the
financial statements. Impairment losses on doubtful debts are reported in the Statement of comprehensive income in the financial
year in which they occur. Commercial loans are included in the current asset in trade and other receivables, to the extent that their
collection estimate does not exceed one year from the date of the financial statement.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalentsaustralis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash holdings or cash held in bank current
accounts, fixed-term deposits and other financial investments (high liquidity securities) with an expiration at less than 90 days from
the investment date. also included in this item are those investments of the cash administration, such as repurchase and resale
agreements whose expiration is consistent with the definitions above.
Bank overdraft lines used are included in other financial liabilities.
2.15 Social capitalSocial capital is represented by a single class of ordinary shares.
Minimum legal dividends on ordinary shares are recognized as the lower value of equity when accrued.
2.16 Trade accounts payable and other accounts payabletrade accounts payable are recognized initially at fair value and later valued for their amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method, when these accounts have obtained a payment period exceeding 90 days. For shorter payment periods, they are registe-
red at nominal value, not presenting significant differences with fair value.
2.17 Other financial liabilitiesliabilities with banks and financial institutions are initially recognized at fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. Sub-
sequently, external resources are valued at amortized cost and any difference between the proceeds (net of costs necessary to
obtain them) and redemption value is recognized in the income statement during the debt´s life according to the effective interest
rate method. the effective interest rate method consists of applying the market reference rate for debts with similar characteristics
to the value of the debt (net of costs necessary to obtain them).
It is worth mentioning that if the difference between the nominal value and the fair value is not significant, the nominal value is used.
2.18 Income tax and deferred taxesthe cost of income tax for the financial year includes taxes of australis Seafoods S.a. and its subsidiaries, based on taxable income
for the year, together with fiscal adjustments from previous years and the change in deferred taxes.
Deferred taxes are calculated, according to the liability method, based on the temporary differences arising between the asset and
liability tax bases and their carrying amounts. However, if the deferred taxes arise from initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a
transaction other than a business combination, which at the moment of transaction does not affect the accountable result or the
fiscal earning or loss, it is not included in the accounting.
Deferred tax is determined using approved (or about to be approved and highly likely to pass) tax rates (and laws), in each country of
operation, on the date of the statement of financial position, and which is expected to be applied when the corresponding deferred
tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recorded when it is likely that the group entities will have sufficient future tax benefits against which other
differences can be compensated.
the Company does not record deferred taxes based on temporary differences arising in the investments in related companies, since
it controls the date on which these will be reversed.
2.19 Employees benefitsa) Staff holidays
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries recognize the cost of staff holidays using the accrual method, which is recorded at nominal
value.
b) post-employment benefits
the subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a. has contracts with its executive staff which include compensation benefits for years of service
in the event of voluntary retirement or termination. this liability is recognized according to technical standards, and considering that
the actuarial value does not vary significantly from the cost, the latter has been maintained, with periodic evaluations in case some
of the variables change.
earnings or losses due to changes in actuarial variables, if any, are recognized in the income of the financial year in which they occur.
In addition, the Company recognizes a liability for bonuses for top executives, when it is contractually obligated or when past prac-
tice has created an implicit obligation.
2.20 Provisionsaustralis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries recognize a provision when it is contractually obligated and when past practice has created
an assumed obligation.
provisions for onerous contracts, litigations and other contingencies are recognized when:
(i) australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries have an obligation, either legal or implied, as a result of past events,
(ii) It is likely that an outflow of resources will be necessary to settle the obligation; and
(iii) the value has been reliably estimated.
provisions are valued by the current value of expenditures expected to be necessary to settle the obligation, using the best estimate
of australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries. the discount rate used to determine the current value reflects current assessments
of the market on the date of the statements of financial position, the time value of money as well as the specific risk related to the
particular liability.
2.21 Recognition of incomeordinary income includes the fair value of the considerations received or to be received for the sale of goods and services in the
ordinary course of the activities of the Company. ordinary income is presented as net of sales tax, returns, rebates and discounts (if
any) and after eliminating sales within the Group.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries recognize income when the value thereof can be reliably measured, when it is likely that
the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific conditions for each Group activity are met, as described below.

a) Sales of goods
revenues from sales of goods are recognized when a Group entity has transferred the risks and benefits of the products of these
goods to the buyer and does not retain the right to dispose of them or the right to maintain effective control. In general, this means
that sales are recorded at the moment of the transfer of risks and benefits to the clients in accordance with the terms agreed upon
in trade agreements.
b) Interest income
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method.
c) Sales of services
ordinary revenue from sales of services is recorded when the service has been rendered. a service is considered rendered at the
time it is received satisfactorily by the client.
2.22 Leases
When an entity of the Group is the lessee - Financial lease.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries lease certain fixed assets. Fixed asset leases, when the Company has substantially all
the risks and benefits inherent to ownership, are classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the beginning of
the lease at fair value of the property or asset leased or, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, whichever is lower.
each lease payment is distributed between the liability and the financial burden in order to obtain a constant interest rate on the
outstanding debt balance. Corresponding lease obligations, net of finance burden, are included in other financial liabilities. the
finance cost interest element is charged in the income statement during the financial period of the lease, so as to obtain a constant
periodic interest rate on the outstanding liability balance for each financial period. the asset acquired under financial lease is depre-
ciated over their useful life or the duration of the contract, whichever is less.
For sales transactions with lease-back, the differentials produced by the nature of the transaction are a part of the asset value.
this amount is incorporated into the fixed asset leased goods and is depreciated based on useful life of associated leased assets.
When an entity of the Group is the lessee - Financial operating lease.
leases where the lessor retained a significant part of the risks and rewards derived from ownership of the asset are classified as
operating leases. payments under operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged in the income state-
ment on a straight-line basis during the financial period of the lease.
2.23 Dividend policyunder the provisions of the Corporations law, the Company is obligated to distribute a minimum dividend equal to 30% of the profits,
unless shareholders unanimously agree on a lower amount.
under IFrS, recognition of obligation to shareholders must be anticipated at the date of the closing of the annual statements of
financial position, with the consequent decrease in equity.
according to the SVS, related to memorandum no. 1945, to determine net profits distributable of the parent Company to be conside-
red in the calculation of dividends for the financial year 2010, the following is excluded from the income:
i) unrealized profits or losses, related to the recording at fair value of biological assets regulated by the accounting standard “IaS
41,” reintegrating them into net profits the moment they are realized. For this purpose, realized will be understood as the portion
of these fair value increases corresponding to the assets sold or disposed of by other means.
ii) the effects of deferred taxes associated to the concepts indicated in i) will have the same fate as the item that gave rise to
them.
2.24. Environmentexpenditures related to improvement of and/or investment in production processes that improve environmental conditions are ex-
penditures in the financial period in which they are incurred. When these expenditures are part of investment projects, they are
recognized as the added value of the category properties, plant and equipment.
the Group has established the following types of expenditures for environmental protection projects:
a) Costs associated with legal compliance for the activity. Some of these expenses are: monitoring of effluents of the fish farms,
mortality removal service, effluent treatment plant maintenance, etc.
b) additional activity costs aimed at improving productive processes. Some of these expenses are: implementation of a uV disin-
fection system, analysis of oceanographic information, staff training on environmental variables, implementation of biosecurity
measures and infectious vector control, etc.
note 3 - transition to International Financial reporting Stan-dards3.1 Basis of transition to IFRS
3.1.1. Application of IFRS 1the transition date of australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries is January 1, 2010. australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries has
prepared an opening statement of financial position according to IFrS to this date. the adoption date of australis Seafoods S.a. and
subsidiaries was January 1, 2011.
according to IFrS 1, to prepare the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, all obligatory exceptions have been applied
and some optional exemptions to the retroactive application of IFrS have also been applied and are detailed below.
3.1.2 Exemptions to retroactive applications chosen by Australis Seafoods S.A. and subsidiariesaustralis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries have chosen to apply the exemptions to retroactive application of IFrS detailed below:
a) Business combinations
the exemption makes it so that business combinations prior to the transition date are not submitted. It is possible for IFrS 3 not to
be applied to business combinations before the transition date.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries have applied this exemption taken from IFrS 1 for business combinations. therefore, busi-
ness combinations that took place before the transition date of January 1, 2010 have not been restated.
b) Fair value or revaluation as an acquired cost
the entity may elect at the date of transition to IFrS to measure a fixed asset item at fair value and to use this fair value as the
deemed cost at that date.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries in some cases opted to measure their fixed asset at fair value and to use this value as the
initial historical cost in accordance with IFrS 1 (standards of the first adoption). the fair value of the fixed assets was measured ac-
cording to an assessment by external, independent experts for certain assets and, in other cases, the historical cost of acquisition
was used. In particular, for the subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a., and investment done by external experts was used, while for the
subsidiary australis Mar S.a., the historical cost of acquisition was used. notwithstanding the foregoing, for this latter subsidiary the
useful lives of the assets and their residual values were reviewed with external experts.

c) employees benefits
the first-time adopter may opt to recognize all cumulative actuarial earnings and losses from the beginning of the plan until the date
of transition to IFrS.
this exemption does not apply, since australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries maintain employee benefits that imply actuarial and
investment risk at the transition date, the amount is considered immaterial.
3.1.3 Exceptions to retroactive application followed by the Groupaustralis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries should not have to apply the required exceptions to the IFrS retroactive application, due to
not having presented these particular items.
3.2. Reconciliation between IFRS and the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Chilethe reconciliations presented below quantify the impact of the transition to IFrS on australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries. recon-
ciliation has the following impact:
a) reconciliation of net equity on the adoption date, December 31, 2010, and on the transition date of the statements of financial
position on January 1, 2010.
b) reconciliation of the Comprehensive income statement for the financial year ending on December 31, 2010.
c) Statement of indirect cash flow for the financial year ending on December 31, 2010.
3.2.1 Summary of net equity adjustments and results
3.2.1.1 Equityreconciliation of equity under the Generally accepted accounting principles (Gaap) and under the International Financial reporting
Standards (IFrS) between January 1 and December 31, 2010.
At December 31, 2010 At January 1, 2010 TUSD$ TUSD$total net equity according to Gaap 52,720 12,472 negative goodwill (1) 1,422 134 Intangibles (2) 294 214 Biological assets (3) 5,503 5,072 properties, plant and equipment (4) (812) (563)Deferred taxes (5) (859) (983)Stock (6) 160 414 Functional currency (7) (1,467) (1,539)years of service indemnity activation (8) (287) -others (9) (113) 185 non-controlling interests reclassification - 190
Adjustments to IFRS convergence 3,841 3,124 Net equity according to IFRS 56,561 15,596
Below is an explanation of the most significant adjustments incorporated in the statement of financial position.
1) negative goodwill
In accordance with technical Bulletin no. 72, the excess of net assets in relation to the price paid in a business combination is paid
to a liability account, which is carried to the results in the estimated period of investment recovery.
according to IFrS 3, this concept is paid directly to income, and therefore higher investment balances were attributed to the cumu-
lative results at the transition date.
2) Intangibles
according to Gaap, intangible assets expected to generate benefits in future financial years are recognized at cost, adjusted for the
effect of linearly calculated depreciation during the financial year in which they are expected to generate these benefits.
according to IFrS aquaculture concessions have indefinite useful lives and are therefore subject to annual impairment tests. Its
depreciation has been reversed and its effects recognized in cumulative results.
3) biological assets
according to prior Gaap, fish were classified as stocks and were recorded at cost or at market value, if this was lower.
In accordance with IFrS 41, fish must be classified as biological assets and are valued at fair value.
4) properties, plant and equipment
For the application of IFrS it has been defined that opening balances on January 1, 2010 are recorded at fair value, and therefore:
i) For the case of subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a., an assessment of lands, use of water rights, equipment and buildings of the
Company was performed.
ii) For the case of subsidiary australis Mar S.a., the method of historical cost of assets was used and the useful lives and residual
values of these assets were verified.
these procedures, carried out by experts, generated a lower value in the assets of both subsidiaries, which was recorded against
cumulative results in net equity.
5) Deferred taxes
as described in note no. 2.18, according to IFrS, the effects of the deferred taxes for all temporary differences between the tax and
financial balances must be recorded, based on the liability method.
although the method established in IaS 12 is similar to the Chilean Gaap, the following adjustments must be made to the IFrS:
a) the elimination of “tax-deferred complementary accounts,” which deferred the effects on equity of the initial application of the
technical Bulletin no. 60 of the Colegio de contadores de Chile aG (Chilean association of accountants) (Bt 60), being amortized
with a charge/credit to the profits or losses in the planned time period for reversal of the difference (or consumption of the related
tax loss);
b) the determination of the deferred tax on items not subject to the calculation under Bt 60 (permanent differences), but which
qualify as temporary differences according to IFrS; and
c) the calculation of the tax effect of the IFrS transition adjustments. retained earnings

the adjustment done corresponds to the portion of the fair value included in the finished products, done for the valuation of the
biological asset adjustment.
7) Functional currency
according to previous Gaap, the Company had some subsidiaries in Chilean pesos. When evaluating the functional currencies of
each of the group’s companies, it was concluded that their operations were primarily carried out in united States dollars, hereinafter
“Dollars,” and therefore these operating subsidiaries with different currencies were converted, in accordance with the following:
a) Monetary assets opening exchange rate on January 1, 2010 or at closing on December 31, 2011.
b) non-monetary assets: Historical exchange rate.
non-operative subsidiaries were considered as an extension of operations, and therefore their functional currencies were changed
to dollars, applying the same criteria as above.
8) years of service indemnity capitalization
according to previous Gaap, the company had capitalized expenses for indemnity for years of service, and according to IFrS they
were adjusted.
9) others
Includes leaseback adjustments, monetary correction and other minor adjustments.
3.2.1.2 Resultreconciliation of results according to Generally accepted accounting principles (Gaap) and according to International Financial
reporting Standards (IFrS).

1) Stocks
the adjustment done corresponds to the portion of the fair value included in the finished products, done for the adjustment valuation
of the biological asset, which increases the cost of sale of the finished products.
2) replacement amortization concessions
the replacement of the concessions depreciation is generated upon defining, according to IaS 38, that these intangibles have an
indefinite useful life, and so the effects of depreciation are recovered.
3) valuation of biological assets
this effect arises as a consequence of the valuation at fair value of fish and spawning fish through profit or loss and the greatest
cost component at the time of their sale.
4) Deferred taxes
as described in note no. 3.2.1.1.5, according to IFrS, the effects of the deferred taxes for all temporary differences between the tax
and financial balances must be recorded, based on the liability method.
although the method established in IaS 12 is similar to the Gaap, the following adjustments must be made to the IFrS:
a) the determination of the deferred tax on items not subject to the calculation according to Bt 60 (permanent differences), but
which qualify as temporary differences according to IFrS; and
b) the calculation of the tax effect transition adjustments to IFrS.
5) elimination of negative goodwill amortization
this corresponds to effects on profits or loss, generated by the elimination of negative goodwill against cumulative results at the date
of transition, and therefore of amortization, in accordance with IFrS.

of each of the group’s companies, it was concluded that their operations were primarily carried out in dollars, and therefore these
operating subsidiaries with different currencies were converted, in accordance with the following:

non-operative subsidiaries were considered as an extension of operations, and therefore their functional currencies were changed

7) years of service indemnity capitalization
according to previous Gaap, the company had capitalized expenses for retrospective indemnity for years of service, and according
to IFrS they were adjusted.
8) properties, plant and equipment
as described in note 3.2.2.4, according to IFrS there was a reassessment of the main land and buildings of the subsidiary land-
catch Chile S.a. In addition, the functional currency switch was made, bringing the fixed assets to historical exchange rate, so the
adjustment made in 2010 corresponds to the increase in depreciation of these concepts.
9) others
Includes leaseback adjustments, monetary correction and other minor adjustments.
note 4 - Financial risk Managementthe salmon business inherently involves a number of risks that, in one way or another, affect industry development. Some of the
factors are:
I Credit risk
a) Cash surplus investment risk:
the quality of the financial institutions australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries works with and the type of financial product in which
such investments materialize define a low-risk policy for the Company.
b) risk from sales transactions:
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries operates with clients by credit card sales, through advance payments, or with clients with
an excellent credit performance, as demonstrated in their payment histories. In fact, in the last three years, the amount of uncollec-
table debts of the subsidiary australis Mar S.a. has been tuSD$ 11.
II Liquidity risk
liquidity risk arises from the possibility of imbalance between the needs for funds (operating and financial costs, investments in
assets, debt maturities and compromised dividends) and their source (income from securities redemptions or financial placements,
collection of clients debts and financing from financial institutions). the Company has a prudent management policy on liquidity risk,
maintaining enough cash and tradable securities, and managing to keep proper availability of bank financing.
the following table details non-discounted contractual flows, committed from bank loans, financial leases and accounts payable,
grouped by commitment, at December 31, 2011:
Between 1 and 3 months

Between 3 and 12 mon-ths TUSD$

(1) the amount of the “payable Dividends” account reflects the application of IFrS regulation and does not correspond to temporary
or definite dividends approved by the Board of Directors or the Company Shareholders.
III Market risk
a) exchange rate risk:
Since the vast majority of sales of the group companies are conducted in dollars, there is no implicit risk involved in the valuation
of this currency against the Chilean peso. therefore, both appreciations and depreciations of the local currency directly affect the
company’s results whenever some expenses are in local currency.
at December 31, 2011, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet has a net asset in pesos in the range of MtuSD$37, and so a
variation of 5% increase in the exchange rate generates a loss by an exchange difference of MtuSD$0.9, in turn, a 5% decrease in
the exchange rate generates a profit of the same amount.
b) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate variations modify future flows of assets and liabilities linked to a variable interest rate.
australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries are exposed to interest rate risk, since their long-term financing is the sum of 180 day lIBor
plus an additional fixed spread for the case of subsidiary australis Mar S.a. For landcatch Chile S.a., long-term debts are registered
with fixed rates. normally, the administration and the Board of Directors keep track of these credit conditions, and the advisability of
acquiring interest rate insurance is evaluated, to reduce the impact of 180 day lIBor rate variations.
at December 31, 2011, the Group has a total of tuSD$ 63,120 which correspond to bank liabilities in dollars with a variable interest
rate. In a sensitivity analysis of the interest rates on the capital of these bank liabilities, it is observed that when the current rates are
increased or decreased by 1% annually with respect to the value used, the effect on results at the close of the financial year would
be equal to tuSD$ 631 of a higher or lower financial expense, as applies.
c) Market risk:
Salmon products fall within the commodities category. Commodities, as inferred by their definition, are subject to price variations
in the international market. taking this into account, experience tells us that sales prices of our products are subject to seasonal
fluctuations that can either raise or lower prices and tend to have cyclical variations over time.

a) useful life of plant and equipment:
the administration of australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries determines the estimated useful lives and the corresponding depre-
ciation charges for plant and equipment. Changes in estimates could occur as a result of technical innovation and reactions of the
competition to severe industry cycles. the administration will increase the depreciation charge when useful life is less than the pre-
viously estimated lives or will amortize or eliminate technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
b) biological assets:
the accounting principles and valuation model applied for measuring biological assets are described in note 2.7.

a) Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent).
the Company classified fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the valuation. this
hierarchy is composed of three levels; (I) fair value based on quotations in active markets for a similar class of asset or liability, (II)
fair value based on valuation techniques that use market prices or market price derivatives of similar financial instruments and (III)
fair value based on valuation models that do not use market information.
the fair values of the financial instruments traded in active markets, such as the investments acquired for their negotiation, are
based on market quotations at the close of the financial statements using the current purchase price.

once all pre-litigation and litigation efforts at collection have been exhausted, the assets are charged against the constituted provi-
sion. the Company only uses the provision method, and not the penalty method, for better control.
Historical, currently in effect renegotiations are not very significant, and the policy is to analyze them case by case and to classify
them according to the existence of risk, having determined if their reclassification puts them in the category of accounts receivable.
If reclassification is warranted, it is constituted as an expired provision or a provision about to expire.
the parent company and its subsidiaries do not consider themselves to be exposed to high risk of liquidity of these financial assets,
since the credit quality is protected by the highly diversified portfolio of the Company´s clients. these clients are economically and
geographically dispersed and come from countries with low sovereign risk.
there are no significant guarantees for credit operations conducted with clients with stable business relations and excellent pay-
ment behavior, or with clients who pay in advance. However, there are contractual agreements to protect certain business.
Maximum exposure to credit risk on the present information´s date is the fair value of each of the categories of receivables mentio-
ned above.

a) the cost of production of the manufactured inventories includes costs directly related to units produced, such as labor and varia-
ble and fixed costs that were included to transform raw materials into finished products.
the cost of production of fresh and frozen salmon is determined from the last fair value of the biological asset at harvest point, plus
direct and indirect costs of production.
b) For acquired inventory cost, the acquisition cost will include the sale price, import duty, transportation, storage and other costs
attributable to acquisition of goods and materials.
Formula for calculating inventory cost.
Inventories of finished products are valued using the weighted average cost method, that is, the cost of each product unit is de-
termined from the weighted average of the recorded cost at the beginning of the financial period, and from the cost of the articles
bought or produced during the period.
Inventories of raw materials, containers and materials are valued at weighted average cost.
Information on finished products.
the Company has not imposed penalties on finished products at the close of each financial period. During the financial year ending
on December 31, 2011, December 31 and January 1, 2010, no inventories have been pledged as security.
Inventories recognized in the cost of sales at the close of each financial year are summarized below:

biological asset policies
Biological assets are valued at fair value minus the costs estimated at the point-of-sale in accordance with the definitions contained
in IaS 41 and the provisions of note 2.7.
at the close of the financial statements, the effect of the fish’s natural growth in water, expressed in fair value minus the estimated
costs at the point-of-sale, is recognized according to a measurement based on market prices adjusted for quality and size. the
higher or lower resulting value is recorded in the income statement under other Income by Function. Similarly, the higher cost of the
exploited and sold part derived from this revaluation is also under other Income by Function. according to the above, this account
shows the total net effect of biological asset valuation for the financial year ending at December 31, 2011 and has a charge for tuSD$
59 (charge for tuSD$ 1,019 in 2010).

operating risks
Because salmon are biological assets, salmon production is potentially affected by a number of biological risks. Some are:
a) Disease: although diseases are currently controlled by vaccines, antibiotics, good handling practices and by the production of
high quality smolts, we cannot rule out the emergence of new diseases or epidemics that could affect production.
b) Failure to comply with current legislation and, in particular, failure to comply with resting breaks and district regulations on the part
of other production companies, could lead to a decline in the necessary sanitary levels for a healthy biomass growth.
c) predators: the presence of natural salmon predators, such as sea lions, can mean a loss of biomass and even the destruction of
the net cages. the industry has implemented a series of preventive measures that help mitigate the adverse effects caused by
these predators.
d) natural risks: Salmon growth depends, among other factors, on climatic and ocean conditions such as environment brightness or
water temperature, which can have effects on fish growth and their food consumption.
e) Food cost: Food is the most significant direct cost for trout and salmon production. Its price varies due to variables exogenous
to the australis Seafoods Group, such as the price or cost of fishmeal, which in turn depends on the extractive fishing industry.

a) aquaculture concessions and water rights
aquaculture concessions acquired from third parties are recognized at historical cost. the useful life of these concessions is mainly
indefinite, since they have no expiration date and do not have a predictable useful life, and therefore, not amortized. Concessions
obtained under the new fishing law have a useful life of 25 years. this is renewable according to compliance with sanitary and envi-
ronmental conditions. these concessions are depreciated based on useful life.
these water rights are usage rights associated with fish farm technical projects. these rights are indefinite and therefore not amor-
tized. Water rights acquired from third parties are recognized at their historical cost.
b) Intangibles subject to guarantees or restrictions

on December 31, 2011, the Company recognized financial year depreciation in the income results tuSD$ 2,771 (tuSD$ 1,300 in 2010).
a) valuation and updates
the administration has chosen the cost model as its accounting policy and applies this policy to all items that contain property, plant
and equipment.
the new properties, plant and equipment are reported at acquisition cost. acquisitions in the currency other than the functional
currency are converted at the exchange rate of the day of acquisition.
to measure major fixed assets and lands, which were acquired before transition to IFrS, their fair value was determined based on
valuations made by expert personnel, who were external and independent in the case of subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a. For all other
fixed assets, in particular for those associated with subsidiary australis Mar S.a., the historical cost model was used.
Daily maintenance and common repair costs are included in the profit or loss of the financial year. this is not so for replacements of
significant or strategic parts. these are considered improvements and capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of
the assets, based on each component.
Gains or losses from the sale of property, plant and equipment is calculated by comparing proceeds from the sale with the asset’s
carrying value and included in the income statement.
b) Depreciation Method
Depreciation of assets is calculated linearly over their useful life. this useful life has been determined based on expected wear and
tear, technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes and/or improvements in production and changes in market de-
mand for the products obtained using these assets.
c) estimated useful life or depreciation rates
estimating useful life by type of asset are as follows:
FreshwaterUseful lifeaverage
SeawaterUseful lifeaverage
Buildings 13 -plant and equipment 7 10Information technology equipment 3 -Fixtures and fittings 4 10
the residual value and useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted if necessary at the closing of each Statement of financial
position.
d) property, plant and equipment subject to guarantees or restrictions
on the accounting closing date of these financial statements, the company and its subsidiaries do not have any kind of guarantee
purchases of intangibles.
at December 31, 2011, the Company does not have legal or contractual obligation to dismantle, remove or rehabilitate sites where it
operates, and therefore its assets do not include costs associated with these requirements.
e) Insurance
the Group has insurance policies to cover risks for movable assets, equipment, plant and machinery. australis Seafoods S.a. and
subsidiaries believe that these policies have adequate coverage for the inherent risks in their activity.
the insurance policies that australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries have are detailed below:
Type of asset Risks coveredequipment and facilities Basic coverage: natural risks.
additional coverage: theft, collision, fire.

note 18 - Current Income taxes and Deferred taxesDeferred taxes mean the amount of taxes on the earnings that australis Seafoods S.a. and subsidiaries will have to pay (liabilities)
or recover (assets) in future financial periods, related to temporary differences between the tax base and the accounting carrying
amount of certain assets and liabilities.
the main deferred tax asset is tax losses of the parent company and subsidiaries to be recovered in future financial years. the main
deferred tax liability payable in future financial years are temporary differences arising from manufacturing expenses, revaluation of
biological assets and the revaluation of properties, plant and equipment at the date of transition to IFrS and from the application, for
tax purposes, of accelerated depreciation.
the breakdown of assets and liabilities by deferred taxes is as follows:

no deferred taxes have been recognized due to temporary differences between the tax value and accounting value generated by in-
vestments in related companies. therefore, no deferred tax is recognized from Conversion adjustments and associated adjustments
directly recorded in net equity.
With respect to the statute of limitations for tax losses likely attributable to future profits, we note that there are no limitations if they
are generated in companies in Chile.

- Dividend policy
In order to determine distributable net profit of the Company to be considered for dividend calculation, the following will be excluded
from the financial year results:
1) unrealized profits or losses, related to the recording at fair value of biological assets regulated by the accounting standard “IaS 41,”
reintegrating them into net profits the moment they are realized. For this purpose, realized will be understood as the portion of these
fair value increases corresponding to the assets sold or disposed of by other means.
2) unrealized income generated in the acquisition of other entities and, in general, unrealized results produced from the application
of paragraphs 34, 42, 39 and 58 of the accounting standard “Captain international Financial reporting Standard no. 3,” revised,
referring to business combination operations. these results will also be re-integrated into net profit at the moment of realization. For
these purposes, results will be understood as realized as long as acquired entities generate profit after acquisition, or when these
entities are sold.
3) the effects of deferred taxes associated with the items indicated in 1) and 2) will be regulated in the same way as the item that
gives rise to them.
Dividend provision
the Company reports as interim dividends the equivalent of 30% of distributable net profit for the 2011 period.

(1) Biological assets: according to prior Gaap, fish were classified as inventory and were recorded at cost or at market value, if this
was lower. In accordance with IFrS 41, fish must be classified as biological assets and are valued at fair value. this adjustment was
made in 2010 at the time of sale of these assets.
(2) Functional currency: according to previous Gaap, the Company had some subsidiaries in Chilean pesos. When evaluating the
functional currencies of each of the group’s companies, it was concluded that their operations were primarily carried out in united
States of america dollars, hereinafter “Dollars,” and therefore these operating subsidiaries with different currencies were converted
to “Dollars.” these adjustments were made to the extent that the item with which they are associated is disposed of.
(3) properties, plant and equipment: For the application of IFrS it has been defined opening balances at January 1, 2010 are recorded
at fair value, and therefore:
i) For the case of subsidiary landcatch Chile S.a., an assessment of lands, water use rights, equipment and buildings of the Company
was performed.
ii) For the case of subsidiary australis Mar S.a., the method of historical cost of the assets was used and the useful lives and residual
values of these assets were verified.

these adjustments were made to the extent that the item with which they are associated is disposed of.
(4) Deferred taxes: according to IFrS, all effects of deferred taxes from temporary differences between the tax and financial balance
sheet must be recorded, using the liability method. these adjustments are made using the same ratio as the items with which they
are associated.
(5) Stocks: the adjustment done corresponds to the portion of the fair value included in the finished products, done for the valuation
of the biological asset adjustment. this adjustment was made in 2010 at the time of sale of these assets.
(6) Intangibles: according to IFrS aquaculture concessions have mainly indefinite useful lives and are therefore subject to annual
impairment tests. Depreciation has been reversed and its effects recognized in the cumulative results. these adjustments were made
to the extent that the item with which they are associated is disposed of.
(7) negative goodwill: according to IFrS 3, this concept is paid directly to income, and therefore higher investment balances were
attributed to the cumulative results at the transition date. this adjustment does not have an effect on future financial years, and
therefore has been considered as made in the adjusted period.
* non-controlling shares reclassification: according to IFrS, this item is considered part of equity, unlike according to the previous
Gaap. For this reason, it will not be applied in future financial years.
note 24 - earnings per Share and net Distributable profits24.1. Earning per share
earnings per share break down as follows:
At Dec. 31, 2011
US$/No. of shares
At Dec. 31, 2010
US$/No. of shares
earning per share 0.02 847
the calculation of basic earnings (losses) per share was done by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders by the number of
shares of the same unique serie. the Company has not issued convertible debt or other equity securities. as a result there are no
potentially diluting effects on the Company’s earning per share.
24.2. Distributable net profitDividend policy for the financial year 2011 is to distribute as a dividend at least 30% of net profit of the year ending on December 31,
2011, by means of the distribution of a final dividend. the ordinary Meeting of Shareholders must approve this, and it is payable on
the date they designate.
according to the provisions of memorandum no. 1945 of the SVS, dated December 29, 2009, it was agreed to establish as a general
policy that net profit, for purposes of the minimum obligatory dividend payment of 30%, established by article 79 of law 18,046, will
be determined based on total profits from the relevant changes of yet unrealized assets and liabilities, which must be re-integrated
into the calculation of net profit for the financial year in which these changes take place.
additional dividends will be determined based on these criteria according to the agreement adopted at the Shareholders Meeting.
as a result, it was agreed that, in order to determine distributable net profit of the Company, that is, net profit considered for calcu-
lating the minimum obligatory dividend for financial year 2011, the following aspects will be excluded from the results of the financial
year:
i) unrealized profits or losses, related to the recording at fair value of biological assets regulated by the accounting standard “IaS 41,”
reintegrating them into net profits the moment they are realized. For this purpose, realized will be understood as the portion of these
fair value increases corresponding to the assets sold or disposed of by other means.
ii) the effects of deferred taxes associated with the concepts indicated in i) will have the same fate as the item that gave rise to them.
although distributable profit for determining dividends is calculated based on annual results, for informational purposes, the deter-
mination of net profit for the financial year ending on December 31, 2011 is given below:
