ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 26, 2005, and, based on their evaluation, have determined that a material control weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed at the end of the first quarter 2005 with respect to accounting for income taxes and therefore concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective with respect to accounting for income taxes. Other disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be effective as of June 26, 2005.
Accounting for Income Taxes
In the course of its review of income taxes during the second quarter of 2005, management determined that the Company understated its income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2005 by a net $12.4 million (see Note 1). As a result of the circumstances involved, we have concluded that there was a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at the end of the first quarter.
In reaching this conclusion, management noted that during the first quarter, tax staff was directed toward developing and implementing the tax structure for the merger with Molson. This resulted in insufficient review of tax provision calculations. Together with inadequate systems to determine the provision for income taxes, the income tax benefit for the quarter was materially understated. In addition to amending our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2005 to correct the initial recording of a U.S. deferred tax asset as part of the purchase accounting for our UK acquistion, we have corrected these errors.
We are taking the following steps to remediate this material weakness:
We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary and appropriate for our business.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
The Merger occurred after the fiscal year 2004 and therefore our Molson Canada and Kaiser Brazil business units will complete requirements under Internal Control over Financial Reporting Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as of fiscal year end 2006. This effort is in progress, and we are not aware of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
The Company has been evaluating changes to its financial accounting and reporting systems in efforts to improve its consolidation processes, increase efficiency and enable additional functionality. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company plans to implement significant changes in these systems, specifically a new global chart of accounts, new reporting databases, and a new consolidation accounting system. These changes will primarily impact the United States segment and corporate

accounting and consolidation processes. The impact of these changes on the Company's internal control, which are undergoing rigorous review and testing, is expected to be positive.
With the exception of the item discussed above, there were no other changes in internal controls in the second quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The certifications attached as Exhibits 31 and 32 hereto should be read in conjunction with disclosures set forth herein.
