1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "we", "us" or "our" includes Molson Coors Brewing Company ("MCBC" or the "Company"), principally a holding company, and its operating subsidiaries: MillerCoors LLC ("MillerCoors") which is accounted for by us under the equity method of accounting, Molson Coors Brewing Company (UK) Limited ("MCBC-UK"), Molson Coors Canada ("MCC") and our other operating entities as further described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements (the "Notes") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2009 ("Annual Report").

        Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$").

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Such unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

        These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report, supplemented by our 8-K filed on September 28, 2010 and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes. The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 25, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

        MCBC follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar. The third fiscal quarters of 2010 and 2009 consisted of thirteen weeks ended on September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009, respectively. The first three fiscal quarters of 2010 and 2009 consisted of thirty-nine weeks ended on September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009, respectively. Fiscal year 2010 consists of 52 weeks ending on December 25, 2010 and fiscal year 2009 consisted of the 52 weeks ended December 26, 2009.

        Unless otherwise indicated, third quarter refers to the thirteen week periods ended September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009, and the first three quarters refer to the thirty-nine week periods ended September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009.

        Brewers' Retail, Inc. ("BRI"), a consolidated subsidiary through February 28, 2009, and subsequently accounted for under the equity method of accounting reports results one month in arrears in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

        MillerCoors follows a monthly reporting calendar. The third quarter and first three quarters of 2010 and 2009 consisted of three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

        In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which requires an enterprise to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE requiring consolidation. The guidance was effective for our first quarter ended March 27, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial results. See also Note 4, "INVESTMENTS" for further disclosure of our VIE.

4. INVESTMENTS

        The investments included within this Note 4 include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as VIEs have been evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. The VIEs included under Equity Investments are those for which we have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary and accordingly, we account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. The VIEs included under Consolidated Investments are those for which we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and accordingly consolidate these entities. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the quarter that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide.

        Authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs requires that we continually reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in which we have an interest. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and we continually evaluate circumstances that could require consolidation or deconsolidation.

(1)
MillerCoors made its initial accounting policy elections upon formation, impacting certain asset and liability balances contributed by us. Our investment basis in MillerCoors is based upon the book value of the net assets we contributed. These adjustments reflect the favorable impact to our investment as a result of the differences resulting from accounting policy elections, the most significant of which was MillerCoors' election to value contributed Coors Brewing Company ("CBC") inventories using the first in, first out (FIFO) method, rather than the last in, first out (LIFO) method, which had previously been applied. This adjustment has been phased in over the expected turnover of the related inventories; which was concluded in the first quarter of 2009.

(2)
Our net investment in MillerCoors is based on the carrying values of the net assets we contributed to the joint venture which is less than our proportional share of underlying equity (42%) of MillerCoors (contributed by both CBC and Miller Brewing Company) by approximately $626 million. This difference is being amortized as additional equity income over the remaining useful lives of long-lived assets giving rise to the difference. For non-depreciable assets, such as goodwill, no adjustment is being recorded. This also includes the impact of impairments and other adjustments occurring since formation that affect the basis difference.

(3)
The net adjustment is to record all share-based compensation associated with pre-existing equity awards to be settled in MCBC Class B common stock held by former CBC employees now employed by MillerCoors and to eliminate all share-based compensation impacts related to pre-existing SABMiller plc equity awards held by former Miller Brewing Company employees now employed by MillerCoors.

        During the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2010, we had $8.7 million of sales of beer to MillerCoors and $2.1 million of purchases of beer from MillerCoors. During the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2009, we had $9.1 million of sales of beer to MillerCoors and $3.0 million of purchases of beer from MillerCoors.

        For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, we had $27.9 million of sales of beer to MillerCoors and $6.3 million of purchases of beer from MillerCoors. During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009, we had $30.3 million of sales of beer to MillerCoors and $7.3 million of purchases of beer from MillerCoors.

        During the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2010, we recorded $1.4 million of service agreement and other charges to MillerCoors and $0.1 million of service agreement costs from MillerCoors. For the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2009, we recorded $2.2 million of service agreement and other charges to MillerCoors and $0.4 million of service agreement costs from MillerCoors.

        For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, we recorded $3.7 million of service agreement and other charges to MillerCoors and $1.1 million of service agreement costs from MillerCoors. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009, we recorded $8.5 million of service agreement and other charges to MillerCoors and $1.1 million of service agreement costs from MillerCoors.

        As of September 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, we had $3.9 million and $5.4 million net receivables due from MillerCoors, included within Accounts receivable, net, related to the activities mentioned above.

Brewers' Retail Inc. and Brewers' Distribution Ltd.

        BRI, a VIE, is the beer distribution and retail network for the Ontario Province of Canada, owned by MCC, Labatt and Sleeman brewers. BRI operates on a break-even basis. MCBC had historically consolidated BRI as its primary beneficiary. During the first quarter of 2009, acquisition activity by another BRI owner caused our variable interest to decrease to a level indicating that we are no longer the primary beneficiary, and, as a result, we deconsolidated BRI from our financial statements and applied the equity method of accounting prospectively.

        Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL"), our equity method joint venture, is a distributor owned by MCC and Labatt and, pursuant to an operating agreement, acts as an agent for the distribution of ours, Labatt's and other brewers' products in western provinces of Canada. The owners share 50%/50% voting control.

        We are exposed to the risk of funding requirements related to the defined benefit plans of BRI and BDL, as a result of potential changes in the fair value of the respective plan's assets and liabilities. Specifically, the fair value of each entity's plan assets can fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the investments held by the respective plans, and the respective plan liabilities can fluctuate due to changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions. These fluctuations would result in a change in the respective plan's funded status and thereby the required contributions of BRI and BDL. Although we are exposed to these changes, we currently expect BRI and BDL to continue to meet the current and future plan funding requirements.

Granville Island Brewing Co, Ltd.

        During the fourth quarter of 2009, our subsidiary, Creemore Springs, entered into an agreement to acquire Granville Island Brewing Company, Ltd. and Mainland Beverage Distribution Ltd (collectively, "Granville Island"). Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, Granville Island was classified as a VIE and was consolidated by MCBC as the primary beneficiary. Pursuant to the agreement entered into in 2009, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock in the second quarter of 2010 and, as a result, Granville Island is no longer classified as a VIE. We continue to consolidate the results and financial position of Granville Island, and it is reported within our Canada segment.

Molson Coors Si'hai Brewing (China) Co., Ltd.

        During the third quarter of 2010, MCI paid $34.7 million for a controlling 51% interest in Molson Coors Si'hai Brewing (China) Co., Ltd. ("MC-Si'hai"), a newly formed venture with the previous owner of the Si'hai beer brand and production facilities, Hebei Si'hai Beer Company. This purchase price included approximately $14.9 million of cash contributed to MC-Si'hai and designated for certain future capital expenditures of the venture. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $9.6 million and other intangible assets of $7.0 million. We consolidate the results and financial position of MC-Si'hai, and it is reported within our MCI and Corporate segment. While at the time of the issuance of our financial statements purchase accounting had not yet been finalized, we do not anticipate any future material adjustments to recorded amounts. We have not presented pro forma information as the acquisition of MC-Si'hai is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

        During the first three quarters of 2010, we granted 0.7 million stock options, 0.3 million total RSUs and DSUs, and 0.7 million PUs, all of which were outstanding as of September 25, 2010.

        The mark-to-market share-based compensation expense before tax, related to MCBC share-based awards granted to former CBC employees now employed by MillerCoors, recorded during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, was $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009, the amounts were $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in the table above.

        As of September 25, 2010, there was $34.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares from share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years. During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, cash received from stock option exercises was $13.5 million and the total tax benefit to be realized for the tax deductions from these option exercises was $0.9 million.

        As of September 25, 2010, there were 4.7 million shares of our Class B Common Stock available for the issuance of stock options, SOSARs, RSUs, DSUs, PUs and performance share units.

        The following table represents the summary of stock options and SOSARs outstanding as of September 25, 2010, and the activity during the first thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010:

(1)
Values primarily relate to options granted during the annual grant which occurred in the first quarter of 2010 and the second quarter of 2009.

        The valuation of stock options is a significant accounting estimate which requires us to use judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on our financial statements. Annually, we make assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, employee exercise behavior, and dividend yield. We estimate our future stock price volatility using the historical volatility over the expected term of the option.

        Our expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical option exercise activity and employee post-vesting cancellations within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees with differing historical exercise behavior were segregated for valuation purposes. The weighted-average expected term for all employee groups is presented in the table above. Our valuation model assumes that dividends and our share price increase in line with earnings, resulting in a constant dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate for periods during the expected term of the options is based on the yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bond of comparable duration.

        To the extent that actual outcomes differ from our assumptions, we are not required to true up grant-date fair- value-based expense to final intrinsic values. However, these differences can impact the classification of cash tax benefits realized upon exercise of stock options. Furthermore, historical data has a significant bearing on our forward-looking assumptions. Significant variances between actual and predicted experience could lead to prospective revisions in our assumptions, which could then significantly impact the year-over-year comparability of share-based compensation expense.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        In 2006, we sold our equity interest in our Brazilian unit, Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") to FEMSA Cerveza S.A. de C.V. ("FEMSA"). The terms of the sale agreement require us to indemnify FEMSA for exposures related to certain tax, civil and labor contingencies arising prior to FEMSA's purchase of Kaiser. In the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, we recognized losses from discontinued operations of $0.9 million and $9.0 million, respectively. During the first three quarters of 2010 and of 2009, we recognized a gain of $41.1 million and a loss of $12.9 million, respectively. We recognized a gain of $42.6 million related to our settlement of a portion of our indemnity liabilities to FEMSA during the first quarter of 2010. See further discussion in Note 15, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES."

INCOME TAX
INCOME TAX

9. INCOME TAX

        Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 19%. We anticipate that our 2010 full year effective tax rate will be in the range of 14% to 18%, assuming no changes in tax laws.

        Our tax rate is volatile and may fluctuate with changes in, among other things, the amount and source of income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire or positions are otherwise effectively settled. In addition, any changes to current tax laws in the U.S., U.K. or Canada, may impact our effective tax rate.

        As of December 26, 2009, we had $71.5 million of uncertain tax benefits. Since December 26, 2009, uncertain tax benefits increased by $3.6 million. This addition is net of increases due to additional uncertain tax positions and interest accrued for the current year and decreases primarily due to fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, certain tax positions closing or being effectively settled, payments made to tax authorities with regard to uncertain tax positions during the third quarter of 2010. This results in a total uncertain tax benefit of $75.1 million as of September 25, 2010. Within the next 12 months, the Company expects to recognize approximately $3 to $7 million of income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions.

        We file income tax returns in most of the federal, state, and provincial jurisdictions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Tax years through 2007 are closed or have been effectively settled through examination in the U.S and in the U.K. The 2008 tax year is currently under examination in the U.S. and is expected to conclude in 2011. Tax years through 2004 are closed or have been effectively settled through examination in Canada. Tax year 2005 is currently under examination in Canada.

(1)
Exercise prices exceed the average market price of the common shares or are anti-dilutive due to the impact of the unrecognized compensation cost on the calculation of assumed proceeds in the application of the treasury stock method.
(2)
We issued $575 million of senior convertible notes in June 2007. The impact of a net share settlement of the conversion amount at maturity will begin to dilute earnings per share when our stock price reaches $54.01. The impact of stock that could be issued to settle share obligations we could have under the warrants we issued simultaneously with the convertible notes issuance will begin to dilute earnings per share when our stock price reaches $68.95. The potential receipt of MCBC stock from counterparties under our purchased call options when and if our stock price is between $54.01 and $68.95 would be anti-dilutive and excluded from any calculations of earnings per share.

        We have no outstanding equity share awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares.

        The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangibles from December 26, 2009, to September 25, 2010, are due primarily to the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangibles are denominated in foreign currencies. Gross carrying amounts were also impacted by business acquisition activities. See Note 4, "INVESTMENTS" for further disclosure.

        Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 25, 2010, the following is our estimated amortization expense related to intangible assets for the next five years:

        Amortization expense of intangible assets was $10.9 million and $32.9 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, respectively and $10.6 and $29.6 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009, respectively.

        We are required to perform goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests on at least an annual basis and more frequently in certain circumstances. We completed the required annual impairment testing during the third quarter of 2010 and determined that there were no impairments of goodwill or other indefinite-live intangible assets. No impairment losses were included in the goodwill balances as of September 25, 2010 or December 26, 2009.

During the quarter, we repaid our $300 million 4.85% notes that were due in September 2010. Subsequent to quarter end, our wholly owned subsidiary, Molson Coors International LP, completed a 7-year CAD $500 million 3.95% fixed rate Series A Notes private placement in Canada. These notes resulted in net proceeds of CAD $496.6 million after underwriting fees and being issued at a discount of CAD $1.6 million. The Series A Notes will mature on October 6, 2017. The notes are guaranteed by MCBC and certain United States and Canadian subsidiaries of the Company and rank equally with the Company's other outstanding notes and credit facility.

(2)
The original conversion price for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes was $54.76 per share of our Class B common stock, which represented a 25% premium above the stock price on the day of issuance of the notes and corresponded to the initial conversion ratio of 18.263 shares per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes. The conversion ratio and conversion price are subject to adjustments for certain events and provisions, as defined in the indenture. As of August 26, 2010 our conversion price and ratio are $54.01 and 18.515 shares, respectively. Currently, the convertible debt's if-converted value does not exceed the principal.

(3)
During the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009, we incurred additional non-cash interest expense of $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009, the amounts were $12.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively. We also incurred interest expense related to the 2.5% coupon rate on the convertible debt of $3.6 million for both thirteen week periods ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009 the amount was $10.8 million for both periods. The combination of non-cash and cash interest resulted in an effective interest rate of 5.95% and 6.01% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009, respectively. The effective interest rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009 were 5.95% and 6.03%, respectively. As of September 25, 2010, and December 26, 2009, paid in capital in the equity section of our balance sheet includes $103.9 million, ($64.2 million net of tax), representing the equity component of the convertible debt. Further, as of September 25, 2010, and December 26, 2009, $50.6 million and $63.3 million respectively of the unamortized debt discount and other balance relates to our $575 million convertible debt. The unamortized discount will continue to amortize through 2013 resulting in non-cash interest expense of approximately $16 million to $18 million annually, thereby increasing the carrying value of the convertible debt to its $575 million face value at maturity in July 2013. The remaining $0.6 million as of quarter-end and $0.5 million as of year-end relates to unamortized debt premiums, discounts, and other on the additional debt balances.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

        During the quarter, both our USD $300million/CAD $355.5 million cross currency swap and our forward starting interest rate swaps matured and were cash settled in accordance with the terms of each contract. Early in the fourth quarter of 2010, we also entered into, and subsequently settled, a foreign currency forward contract to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk associated with cash inflows from our CAD $500 million debt issuance that occurred early in the fourth quarter of 2010.

        During the third quarter, we accelerated the maturity dates of our total return swaps related to Foster's stock, a portion of these swaps were settled prior to quarter end. Simultaneously, we entered into a series of option contracts to limit our exposure to future changes in Foster's stock price, effectively fixing a range of settlement values for our remaining open swap positions. The remaining total return swaps and related options will mature throughout the fourth quarter of 2010 and January of 2011.

        All of these new strategies were accounted for using mark to market accounting treatment at quarter end.

Derivative Fair Value Measurements

        We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as MCBC's own non-performance risk. As of September 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009 these adjustments resulted in deferred net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") of $2.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, as the fair value of our derivatives were in net liability positions at both period ends.

        The table below summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009.

        See Note 4, "INVESTMENTS" for a discussion of the deconsolidation of BRI during the first quarter of 2009, which reduced the carrying values of pension and postretirement benefits on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

        During the third quarter of 2010, employer contributions paid to the defined benefit plans for Canada and the U.K. were $7.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the first three quarters of 2010, the amounts were $26.9 million for Canada and $2.4 million for the U.K. There were no contributions to the U.S. plan in the first three quarters. Expected total fiscal year 2010 employer contributions to Canada, U.S. and U.K. defined benefits plans are approximately $48.3 million. We are currently considering various alternatives to pension funding in both the U.K. and Canada which could reduce these long-term liabilities in the near term. These considerations could result in additional discretionary pension contributions in the fourth quarter of 2010.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Kaiser and Other Indemnity Obligations

  • Kaiser

        As discussed in Note 8, "DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS," in 2006, we sold our entire equity interest in Kaiser to FEMSA. The terms of the sale agreement require us to indemnify FEMSA for certain exposures related to tax, civil and labor contingencies arising prior to FEMSA's purchase of Kaiser.

        Additionally, we provided an indemnity to FEMSA for losses Kaiser may incur with respect to tax claims associated with certain previously utilized purchased tax credits. We generally classify such purchased tax credits into two categories.

        During 2009, FEMSA entered into a Brazilian tax amnesty program which substantially reduced penalties, interest, and attorney's fees owed by Kaiser to the government for the first category of purchased tax credits. In 2009, we provided consent to FEMSA to enter into the amnesty program but had not agreed to an indemnity amount owed to FEMSA related to the indemnity for these tax credits.

        During the first quarter of 2010, we reached a settlement agreement with FEMSA for the entirety of our indemnity obligations corresponding to the principal, penalties, interest and attorney's fees owed by Kaiser for this first category of purchased credits. This favorable settlement involved a cash payment of $96.0 million, and eliminated $284.5 million of maximum potential tax claims of which $131.2 million of indemnity liabilities were accrued on our balance sheet at December 26, 2009. The payment of the settlement agreement was made in the first week of the second quarter of 2010.

        The maximum potential claims amount remaining for the second category of purchased tax credits (which we believe present less risk than the first category), was $258.8 million as of September 25, 2010.

        As of the end of the third quarter, a portion of our indemnity obligations are considered probable losses, recorded as current liabilities in an amount of $9.4 million at September 25, 2010. Including the portion of the liabilities not deemed to be probable ($14.1 million) our total estimate of the indemnity liability associated with the purchased tax credits as of September 25, 2010, was $23.5 million, $13.2 million of which was classified as a current liability and $10.3 million of which was classified as non-current. Our indemnity obligations decreased by $131.1 million during the first three quarters of 2010, primarily as a result of the aforementioned settlement, slightly offset by the impact of foreign exchange.

        Our estimates consider a number of scenarios for the ultimate resolution of these issues, the probabilities of which are influenced not only by legal developments in Brazil but also by management's intentions with regard to various alternatives that could present themselves leading to the ultimate resolution of these issues. The liabilities are impacted by changes in estimates regarding amounts that could be paid, the timing of such payments, adjustments to the probabilities assigned to various scenarios and foreign exchange.

        Additionally, we provided indemnity related to all other tax, civil, and labor contingencies existing as of the date of sale. In this regard, however, FEMSA assumed their full share of all of these contingent liabilities that had been previously recorded and disclosed by us prior to the sale on January 13, 2006. However, we may have to provide indemnity to FEMSA if those contingencies settle at amounts greater than those amounts previously recorded or disclosed by us. We will be able to offset any indemnity exposures in these circumstances with amounts that settle favorably to amounts previously recorded. Our exposure related to these indemnity claims is capped at the amount of the sales price of the 68% equity interest of Kaiser, which was $68.0 million. As a result of these contract provisions, our estimates include not only probability-weighted potential cash outflows associated with indemnity provisions, but also probability-weighted cash inflows that could result from favorable settlements, which could occur through negotiation or settlement programs that could arise from the federal or any of the various state governments in Brazil. The recorded value of the tax, civil, and labor indemnity liability was $9.9 million as of September 25, 2010, of which $9.1 million is classified as non-current and $0.8 million is classified as current.

        Future settlement procedures and related negotiation activities associated with these contingencies are largely outside of our control. The sale agreement requires annual cash settlements relating to the tax, civil, and labor indemnities. Indemnity obligations related to purchased tax credits must be settled upon notification of FEMSA's settlement. Due to the uncertainty involved with the ultimate outcome and timing of these contingencies, significant adjustments to the carrying values of the indemnity obligations have been recorded to date, and additional future adjustments may be required. These liabilities are denominated in Brazilian Reals and have been stated at present value and will, therefore, be subject in the future to foreign exchange gains or losses and to accretion cost, both of which will be recognized in the discontinued operations section of the statement of operations.

Guarantees

        MCBC guarantees indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of its equity investments and consolidated subsidiaries, primarily BRI. Other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include $98.8 million, of which $92.7 million is current and $6.1 million is non-current, and $99.2 million, all of which is non-current, as of September 25, 2010, and December 26, 2009, respectively, related to such guarantees.

Litigation and Other Disputes

        In 1999, Molson entered into an agreement for the distribution of Molson products in Brazil. In 2000, before commencing the distribution business, Molson terminated the distribution agreement and paid the distributor $150,000 in settlement. The distributor then sued Molson to set aside the settlement and to seek additional compensation. The Appellate Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro ("Appellate Court") set aside the settlement agreement and determined that Molson was liable to the distributor, with the amount of damages to be determined through subsequent proceedings. An appeal of the liability decision is currently pending before the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice, which granted certiorari during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and agreed to hear the merits of Molson's appeal. With respect to damages, the case was remanded to a Rio de Janeiro trial court to determine the amount of damages. The trial court retained an expert who provided a report adopting the position of the distributor and recommended damages based on a business plan devised at the outset of the arrangement that was never implemented. Molson challenged the irregularity of the expert process, the impartiality of the expert, as well as the report's specific recommendation. The trial court denied Molson's challenges. Molson filed an appeal before the Appellate Court regarding these procedural irregularities, which was denied during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Following the trial court's procedural ruling during the third quarter of 2009, that court handed down a decision in the distributor's favor granting the full amount of the lost anticipated profits alleged by the distributor, approximately $42 million, plus attorney's fees and interest. Molson appealed the judgment to the Appellate Court. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Appellate Court directed the court-retained expert to explain the basis for his damages calculation. During the first quarter of 2010, the Appellate Court granted Molson's appeal and vacated the $42 million judgment. The Appellate Court remanded the proceeding to the trial court and ordered that court to select a different expert. The Appellate Court furthermore directed the trial court to use specific criteria in setting damages, the effect of which should be to substantially reduce the award. Molson sought clarification as to the precise criteria to be used. In late April 2010, the Appellate Court denied Molson's motion for clarification, but limited the accrual of interest in this matter. In mid October 2010, the Appellate Court denied the distributor's motion to set aside the vacation of the $42 million judgment. We will continue to defend this case vigorously, and believe that a material adverse result is not probable.

        In March 2009, BRI, which operates The Beer Store retail outlets in the province of Ontario, Canada, received notice that a legal action would be commenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against it, the Ontario government and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. BRI is owned by MCBC and two other brewers, and is accounted for by MCBC under the equity method. This action alleges the defendants, including BRI, failed to warn the plaintiffs of the dangers of consuming alcohol during pregnancy. The notice alleges damages in excess of CAD $750 million. To our knowledge, no lawsuit has been formally commenced. The same plaintiffs commenced a lawsuit asserting similar claims against the Canadian federal government in the Federal Court of Canada in March 2009. They voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit after the federal government filed a motion to dismiss it for failure to state a claim. If a legal action is commenced against BRI as notified, we are advised that BRI will defend the claims vigorously.

        We are involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, none of these disputes and legal actions is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Environmental

        When we determine that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters or other legal actions exists and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the future costs are recorded as a liability in the financial statements. Costs that extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or efficiency of Company-owned assets or are incurred to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination may be capitalized. Other environmental costs are expensed when incurred.

        From time to time, we have been notified that we are or may be a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or similar state laws for the cleanup of sites where hazardous substances have allegedly been released into the environment. We cannot predict with certainty the total costs of cleanup, our share of the total cost, the extent to which contributions will be available from other parties, the amount of time necessary to complete the cleanups or insurance coverage.

Lowry

        We are one of a number of entities named by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as a PRP at the Lowry Superfund site. This landfill is owned by the City and County of Denver ("Denver") and is managed by Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. ("Waste Management"). In 1990, we recorded a pretax charge of $30 million, a portion of which was put into a trust in 1993 as part of a settlement with Denver and Waste Management regarding the then-outstanding litigation. Our settlement was based on an assumed remediation cost of $120 million (in 1992 adjusted dollars). We are obligated to pay a portion of future costs, if any, in excess of that amount.

        Waste Management provides us with updated annual cost estimates currently extending through 2032. We reviewed these cost estimates in the assessment of our accrual related to this issue. We use certain assumptions that differ from Waste Management's estimates to assess our expected liability. Our expected liability (based on the $120 million threshold being met) is based on our best estimates available.

        The assumptions used are as follows:

  • trust management costs are included in projections with regard to the $120 million threshold, but are expensed only as incurred;

    income taxes, which we believe are not an included cost, are excluded from projections with regard to the $120 million threshold;

    a 2.5% inflation rate for future costs; and

    certain operations and maintenance costs were discounted using a 4.60% risk-free rate of return.

        Based on these assumptions, the present value and gross amount of the costs at September 25, 2010, are approximately $3.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Accordingly, we believe that the existing liability is adequate as of September 25, 2010. We did not assume any future recoveries from insurance companies in the estimate of our liability, and none are expected.

        Considering the estimates extend through the year 2032 and the related uncertainties at the site, including what additional remedial actions may be required by the EPA, new technologies and what costs are included in the determination of when the $120 million threshold is reached, the estimate of our liability may change as further facts develop. We cannot predict the amount of any such change, but additional accruals in the future are possible.

        In April 2009, we received a written notice relating to the Lowry site, that the State of Colorado intends to seek compensation from MCBC and other parties to recover for natural resources damages. The State of Colorado has informally asserted total damages of up to $10 million. However, the Company is potentially liable for only a portion of those damages. The State and the top responsible parties have reached a settlement regarding this matter, and the settlement has been approved by the court. We believe that our reserve for this matter is appropriate.

Other

        In October 2006, we were notified by the EPA that we are a PRP, along with approximately 60 other parties, at the Cooper Drum site in southern California. Certain of Molson's former non-beer business operations, which were discontinued and sold in the mid-1990s prior to the merger with Coors, were involved at this site. We responded to the EPA with information regarding our past involvement with the site. We have accrued $0.2 million, which represents our estimable loss at this time. Potential losses associated with the Cooper Drum site could increase as remediation planning progresses.

        During the third quarter of 2008 we were notified by the EPA that we are a PRP, along with others, at the East Rutherford and Berry's Creek sites in New Jersey. Certain of Molson's former non-beer business operations, which were discontinued and sold in the mid-1990s, were involved at this site. We have accrued $4.1 million, which represents our estimable loss at this time. Potential losses associated with the Berry's Creek site could increase as remediation planning progresses.

        While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for environmental and related matters in which we are currently involved, we believe that any payments, if required, for these matters would be made over a period of time in amounts that would not be material in any one year to our operating results, cash flows or our financial or competitive position. We believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable.

        We are aware of groundwater contamination at some of our properties in Colorado resulting from historical, ongoing, or nearby activities. There may also be other contamination of which we are currently unaware.

SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

17. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

        MCBC ("Parent Guarantor and 2007 Issuer") issued $575.0 million of 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due July 30, 2013, in a registered offering on June 15, 2007. The convertible notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by CBC ("2002 Issuer"), Molson Coors International, LP and Molson Coors Capital Finance ULC (together the "2005 Issuers") and certain significant subsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors").

        On May 7, 2002, the 2002 Issuer completed a public offering of $850.0 million principal amount of 6.375% Senior notes due 2012. During the first quarter of 2008, $180.4 million of the Senior notes was extinguished by using existing cash resources. During the third quarter of 2007, $625.0 million of the Senior notes was extinguished by the proceeds received from the 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes issued June 15, 2007 and cash on hand. The remaining outstanding Senior notes are guaranteed on a senior and unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor and 2007 Issuer, 2005 Issuers and Subsidiary Guarantors. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

        On September 22, 2005, the 2005 Issuers completed a public offering of USD $1.1 billion principal amount of Senior notes composed of USD $300 million 4.85% notes due 2010 and CAD $900.0 million 5.00% notes due 2015. During the third quarter of 2010, the USD $300 million 4.85% notes were repaid in full. Subsequently on October 6, 2010, Molson Coors International LP (one of the 2005 Issuers), completed a private placement in Canada of $500 million 3.95% fixed rate Series A Notes due 2017. The remaining CAD $900.0 million 2005 notes were issued with registration rights. Both the remaining CAD $900.0 million 2005 notes and the 2010 Series A Notes are guaranteed on a senior and unsecured basis by Parent Guarantor and 2007 Issuer, 2002 Issuer and Subsidiary Guarantors. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Funds necessary to meet the 2005 Issuers' debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from MCBC's other subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, as well as our financial condition and operating requirements, could limit the 2005 Issuers' ability to obtain cash for the purpose of meeting its debt service obligation, including the payment of principal and interest on the notes.

        On June 30, 2008, Molson Canada 2005, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MCBC, guaranteed the obligations of MCBC under the credit facility dated as of March 2, 2005. As a result of such guarantee, Molson Canada 2005 became a guarantor under the following (i) the indenture related to the Senior notes dated as of May 7, 2002 and as supplemented; (ii) the indenture related to the Senior notes dated September 22, 2005 and as supplemented; and (iii) the indenture related to the Senior convertible notes dated June 15, 2007 and as supplemented. This change was effective for our 2008 third quarter and was reflected accordingly with the appropriate reclassifications to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements.

        We revised our presentation of the supplemental guarantor information to separately present the impact of intercompany activity for the 2002 Issuer, the 2005 Issuer and the 2007 Issuer, Subsidiary Guarantor and Subsidiary Non-Guarantor categories. As such, our consolidating financial statements for all periods reflect the revised presentation, with the most significant change being the gross presentation of our intercompany notes receivable and payable amongst affiliates and the related impacts on the statements of operations and cash flows. Intercompany notes receivable, which were previously included as a component of equity, continue to be presented as a component of equity (contra-equity) based on the nature of the notes, anticipated repayments and the consideration of the inherent control associated with the relationships of the entities, while the intercompany notes payable are now presented as a liability. We believe that the revised presentation provides greater clarity surrounding the activity between the guarantors and non-guarantors of our third party debt. The revised presentation of the supplemental guarantor information does not amend or change the respective priority or status of the above-referenced senior notes and convertible notes.

        The following information sets forth Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009; Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of September 25, 2010, and December 26, 2009; and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for on the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Guarantor, the Issuers and all of our subsidiaries are reflected in the eliminations column. In the opinion of management, separate complete financial statements of the 2002, 2005 and 2007 Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing their financial composition.

(1)
MillerCoors made its initial accounting policy elections upon formation, impacting certain asset and liability balances contributed by us. Our investment basis in MillerCoors is based upon the book value of the net assets we contributed. These adjustments reflect the favorable impact to our investment as a result of the differences resulting from accounting policy elections, the most significant of which was MillerCoors' election to value contributed Coors Brewing Company ("CBC") inventories using the first in, first out (FIFO) method, rather than the last in, first out (LIFO) method, which had previously been applied. This adjustment has been phased in over the expected turnover of the related inventories; which was concluded in the first quarter of 2009.

(2)
Our net investment in MillerCoors is based on the carrying values of the net assets we contributed to the joint venture which is less than our proportional share of underlying equity (42%) of MillerCoors (contributed by both CBC and Miller Brewing Company) by approximately $626 million. This difference is being amortized as additional equity income over the remaining useful lives of long-lived assets giving rise to the difference. For non-depreciable assets, such as goodwill, no adjustment is being recorded. This also includes the impact of impairments and other adjustments occurring since formation that affect the basis difference.

(3)
The net adjustment is to record all share-based compensation associated with pre-existing equity awards to be settled in MCBC Class B common stock held by former CBC employees now employed by MillerCoors and to eliminate all share-based compensation impacts related to pre-existing SABMiller plc equity awards held by former Miller Brewing Company employees now employed by MillerCoors.

Exercise prices exceed the average market price of the common shares or are anti-dilutive due to the impact of the unrecognized compensation cost on the calculation of assumed proceeds in the application of the treasury stock method.
(2)
We issued $575 million of senior convertible notes in June 2007. The impact of a net share settlement of the conversion amount at maturity will begin to dilute earnings per share when our stock price reaches $54.01. The impact of stock that could be issued to settle share obligations we could have under the warrants we issued simultaneously with the convertible notes issuance will begin to dilute earnings per share when our stock price reaches $68.95. The potential receipt of MCBC stock from counterparties under our purchased call options when and if our stock price is between $54.01 and $68.95 would be anti-dilutive and excluded from any calculations of earnings per share

During the quarter, we repaid our $300 million 4.85% notes that were due in September 2010. Subsequent to quarter end, our wholly owned subsidiary, Molson Coors International LP, completed a 7-year CAD $500 million 3.95% fixed rate Series A Notes private placement in Canada. These notes resulted in net proceeds of CAD $496.6 million after underwriting fees and being issued at a discount of CAD $1.6 million. The Series A Notes will mature on October 6, 2017. The notes are guaranteed by MCBC and certain United States and Canadian subsidiaries of the Company and rank equally with the Company's other outstanding notes and credit facility.

(2)
The original conversion price for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes was $54.76 per share of our Class B common stock, which represented a 25% premium above the stock price on the day of issuance of the notes and corresponded to the initial conversion ratio of 18.263 shares per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes. The conversion ratio and conversion price are subject to adjustments for certain events and provisions, as defined in the indenture. As of August 26, 2010 our conversion price and ratio are $54.01 and 18.515 shares, respectively. Currently, the convertible debt's if-converted value does not exceed the principal.

(3)
During the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009, we incurred additional non-cash interest expense of $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009, the amounts were $12.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively. We also incurred interest expense related to the 2.5% coupon rate on the convertible debt of $3.6 million for both thirteen week periods ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009 the amount was $10.8 million for both periods. The combination of non-cash and cash interest resulted in an effective interest rate of 5.95% and 6.01% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009, respectively. The effective interest rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2010, and September 26, 2009 were 5.95% and 6.03%, respectively. As of September 25, 2010, and December 26, 2009, paid in capital in the equity section of our balance sheet includes $103.9 million, ($64.2 million net of tax), representing the equity component of the convertible debt. Further, as of September 25, 2010, and December 26, 2009, $50.6 million and $63.3 million respectively of the unamortized debt discount and other balance relates to our $575 million convertible debt. The unamortized discount will continue to amortize through 2013 resulting in non-cash interest expense of approximately $16 million to $18 million annually, thereby increasing the carrying value of the convertible debt to its $575 million face value at maturity in July 2013. The remaining $0.6 million as of quarter-end and $0.5 million as of year-end relates to unamortized debt premiums, discounts, and other on the additional debt balances.
