This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale of 229,654,404 new common shares by way of

primary offer (the ―Offer‖), with a par value of ₱1.00 per share (the ―Offer Shares‖), of

Century Pacif ic Food, Inc., a corporation organized under Philippine law (the ―Company‖,

―CNPF‖, or the ―Issuer‖) to be listed and traded in the Main Board of The Philippine Stock

Exchange, Inc. (the ―PSE‖). The trading symbol of the Company shall be ―CNPF‖. See ― Plan

of Distribution‖.

The Offer Shares shall be offered at a price of up to ₱14.50 per Offer Share (the ―OfferPrice‖). The determination of the Offer Price is further discussed on page 64 of this

Prospectus and was determined through a book-building process, as well as discussions

between the Company and BDO Capital & Investment Corporation (―BDO Capital‖), BPI

Capital Corporation (―BPI Capital‖), and First Metro Investment Corporation (―First Metro‖),

collectively, the ―Joint Issue Managers, Joint Lead Underwriters, and Joint Bookrunners‖ or

simply, the ―Joint Lead Underwriters‖. A total of 2,229,654,404 Common Shares will be

outstanding after the Offer. The Offer Shares will comprise up to 10.30% of the outstanding

Common Shares after the Offer.

Pursuant to its amended articles of incorporation, the Company has an authorized amount of

capital stock of ₱6,000,000,000.00 divided into 6,000,000,000 Common Shares with a par

value of ₱1.00 per share, of which 2,000,000,000 Common Shares are outstanding as of the

date of this Prospectus. The Offer Shares shall be Common Shares of the Company.

The Company will be listed on the Main Board of the PSE. As a newly incorporated

company, CNPF will be relying on the track record of its wholly owned subsidiaries, General

Tuna Corp. (―GTC‖) and Snow Mountain Dairy Corp. (―SMDC‖). In this respect, both GTC

and SMDC, satisfy the requirements of the PSE Revised Listing Rules i.e., that such

subsidiary (i) must have a cumulative consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,

depreciation, and amortization (―EBITDA‖), excluding non-recurring items, of at least ₱50

million for three full fiscal years immediately preceding the application for listing, (ii) a

minimum EBITDA of ₱10 million for each of the three fiscal years , and (iii) must further be

engaged in materially the same businesses and must have a proven track record ofmanagement throughout the last three years prior to the filing of the application. With

SMDC‘s EBITDA of approximately ₱26 million, ₱39 million and ₱67 million for 2011, 2012

and 2013, respectively and GTC‘s EBITDA of approximately ₱196 million, ₱244 million and

₱286 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, CNPF‘s subsidiaries are in full

compliance with the financial requirements. Moreover, GTC and SMDC have both been in

existence and operating since 1997 and 2001, respectively and have had a proven track record

of management since then. The PSE Revised Listing Rules prohibit CNPF from divesting its

shareholdings in GTC and SMDC for a period of three years from the date the Offer Shares

are listed on the PSE; provided that the prohibition shall not apply if the divestment is

approved by a majority of CNPF‘s shareholders.

The total proceeds to be raised by the Company from the sale of the Offer Shares will be up to

approximately ₱3,330.0 million. The estimated net proceeds to be raised by the Company



from the sale of the Offer Shares (after deducting estimated fees and expenses payable by the

Company of approximately ₱278.5 million) will be approximately ₱3,051.5 million. The

Company intends to use the proceeds it receives from the Offer for payment of financial

obligations, capital expenditures to increase production capacity and cost efficiency, working

capital and/or potential acquisitions. For a more detailed discussion on the proceeds from the

Offer and the Company‘s proposed use of proceeds, please see ―Use of Proceeds‖ beginningon page 55 of this Prospectus.

The Joint Lead Underwriters (as defined below) will receive a transaction fee from the

Company equivalent to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offer Shares. These

are inclusive of the amounts to be paid to other participating underwriters and selling agents

and exclusive of the amounts to be paid to the PSE Trading Participants, where applicable.

For a more detailed discussion on the fees to be received by the Joint Lead Underwriters,

please see ― Plan of Distribution‖ beginning on page 59 of this Prospectus.

Each holder of Common Shares will be entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the

Company‘s Board of Directors (the ―Board‖ or ―Board of Directors‖), provided that any share

dividends declaration requires the approval of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of itstotal ―outstanding capital stock.‖ The Corporation Code of the Philippines, Batas Pambansa

Blg. 68 (the ―Philippine Corporation Code‖), has defined ―outstanding capital stock‖ as the

total shares of stock (―Shares‖) issued to subscribers or stockholders, whether paid in full or

not, except for treasury shares. Dividends may be declared only from the Company‘s

unrestricted retained earnings. The Company has approved a dividend policy of maintaining

an annual cash and/or share dividend pay-out of up to 30% of its net income from the

preceding year, subject to the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the terms and

conditions of its outstanding bonds and loan facilities, and the absence of circumstances that

may restrict the payment of such dividends, such as where the Company undertakes major

projects and developments. The Company‘s Board may, at any time, modify the Company‘s

dividend policy depending upon the Company‘s capital expenditure plans and/or any terms offinancing facilities entered into to fund its current and future operations and projects. The

Company can give no assurance that it will pay any dividends in the future. See ― Dividends

and Dividend Policy‖.

45,930,800 Offer Shares (or 20% of the Offer Shares) are being offered to all of the trading

participants of the PSE (the ―PSE Trading Participants‖) and 22,965,400 Offer Shares (or

10% of the Offer Shares) are being offered to local small investors (the ―Local Small

Investors‖ or ―LSIs‖) in the Philippines. The remaining 160,758,204 Offer Shares (or 70% of

the Offer Shares) are being offered by the Joint Lead Underwriters to the Qualified

Institutional Buyers (the ―QIBs‖) and to the general public. Prior to the closing of the Offer,

any Offer Shares not taken up by the PSE Trading Participants and Local Small Investors

shall be distributed by the Joint Lead Underwriters to their clients or to the general public.The Joint Lead Underwriters firmly underwrite any shares left unsubscribed after the Offer.

For a more detailed discussion of the underwriting commitment of the Joint Lead

Underwriters, see ― Plan of Distribution‖ on page 59 of this Prospectus.

All of the Common Shares to be sold pursuant to the Offer have identical rights and

privileges. The Common Shares may be owned by any person or entity regardless of

citizenship or nationality, subject to the nationality limits under Philippine law. The

Philippine Constitution and related statutes set forth restrictions on foreign ownership for

companies engaged in certain activities. The Company currently does not own any land in the

Philippines but if the Company acquires land in the future, its foreign shareholdings may not

exceed 40% of its issued and outstanding voting capital shares. See ― Philippine Foreign Exchange and Foreign Ownership Controls‖.



Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risks

associated with an investment in the Common Shares. These risks include:

1. Risks relating to the Company’s business

CNPF‘s financial performance may be materially and adversely affected byfluctuations in prices or disruption in the supply of key raw materials;

CNPF‘s sales growth depends on successful introduction of new products and new product extensions, which is subject to consumer preference and other market factorsat the time of introduction;

Competition in CNPF‘s businesses may adversely affect its financial condition andresults of operations;

CNPF relies on the strength of its brands;

Consolidation of distribution channels in the Philippines may adversely affect

CNPF‘s financial condition and results of operations; CNPF relies on key suppliers for certain raw materials and the failure by such

suppliers to adhere to and perform contractual obligations may adversely affectCNPF‘s business and results of operations;

CNPF has a limited history as a separate entity;

CNPF generally does not have long-term contracts with its customers, and it issubject to uncertainties and variability in demand and product mix;

Any infringement or failure to protect CNPF‘s trademarks and proprietary rights

could materially and adversely affects its business; CNPF‘s strategy of growth, including acquisitions, entering new product categories

and international expansion, may not always be successful or may entail significantcosts, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results ofoperations;

CNPF‘s businesses and operations are substantially dependent upon key executives;and

Problems may develop among partners of joint ventures operated by CNPF, whichmay result in disruptions to these businesses.

2. Risks relating to the Philippines

A decline in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies would

increase many of CNPF‘s costs; and



Any political instability or acts of terrorism in the Philippines may adversely affectCNPF.

3. Risks relating to the Offer and the Offer Shares

The Offer Shares may not be suitable investments for all investors; There can be no guarantee that the Offer Shares will be listed on the PSE;

Future sales of Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Shares and Shareholders may experiencedilution in their holdings;

Investors may incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of purchasing OfferShares; and

SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and is subject to, the more detailed information

presented in this Prospectus, including the Company’s pro forma consolidated financial statements and

related notes included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Capitalized terms not defined in this summary are

defined in the ―Glossary of Terms,‖ ―Risk Factors,‖ ―Business‖ or elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Overview

CNPF traces its history from the Century Group, a leading branded food company primarily

engaged in the development, processing, marketing and distribution of processed fish and

meat, as well as processed dairy products in the Philippines.

In October 2013, the Century Group began to undertake a general corporate reorganization

transaction. Prior to the corporate restructuring, the company‘s businesses were operated by

different companies:

Seafood

Century Canning Corporation (―CCC‖) incorporated on December 12, 1978 handled the

Group‘s sales and distribution for canned and processed tuna, sardines and bangus. Products

are marketed under 555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna. Columbus Seafood

Corporation (―CSC‖), incorporated on December 20, 1994, operated the manufacturing plant

for the sardines. General Tuna Corporation (―GTC‖), incorporated on March 10, 1997,

operated the tuna processing both for local and export sales.

Meat

The Pacific Meat Company, Inc. (―PMCI‖), incorporated on June 28, 1994, manufacturedcanned and frozen processed meat under the brand names Argentina, Swift and 555.

Dairy

Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation (―SMDC‖), incorporated on February 14, 2001, handles

the dairy and sinigang mixes under the brands of Birch Tree, Angel , Home Pride and Kaffe de

Oro.

In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, the business operations of CCC,

CSC and PMCI were folded into CNPF, the listing vehicle. The business operations of CCC

and CSC were folded into CNPF under the canned and processed fish segment. The canned

meat business operations of PMCI were folded into CNPF under the canned meat segment.

SMDC, handling the dairy and mixes segment, and GTC, handling the private label canned,

pouched and frozen tuna products for export, were retained as separate corporate entities as

wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF.As a result, the pro forma financial statements of CNPF

are a product of the combination of the businesses of CCC, PMCI, CSC, GTC and SMDC.

With this operating history spanning the last 35 years, CNPF has established a strong brand

and product portfolio through, and supported by, continuous product innovation and

acquisition of brands from third parties. Its brands are well-recognized in the Philippines and

Competitive Strengths

The Company believes that the following are its key business strengths:

Established market leadership positions with iconic, well-recognized and trusted brands

The Company is the largest producer of canned foods in the Philippines in terms of retail

value according to Euromonitor data for February 2013. In addition, the Company‘s brands

have established market-leading positions within each of their respective segments. For

example, based on data from AC Nielsen, in 2012, the Company was the market leader in the

Philippines in domestic canned tuna, with a market share of 87% by sales. In addition, based

on AC Nielsen data as of August 2013, the Company was the market leader in corned beef

with a market share of 42.5% by sales and the market leader in meat loaf with a market share

of 25.6% by sales.

Several of the Company‘s brands have a long heritage and are well-recognized and trusted

brands in the Philippines. The Company believes that customers associate its brands with

health and quality. Such brands include Century Tuna which was launched in 1986, Argentina

Corned Beef which was launched in 1995 and Angel which was launched in 2002. TheCompany has also grown its brand portfolio through brand acquisitions, including the

acquisition of Blue Bay in 2001, Birch Tree in 2003, Kaffe de Oro and Home Pride in 2008

and Swift in 2012. As a result of the heritage and strength of the Company‘s brands as well as

their high standards of quality, the Company has won a number of industry, consumer and

marketing awards including the Agora Awards‘ Marketing Company of the Year Award for

Century Canning Corporation (2011) and the Trusted Brand Award by Reader‘s Digest for

Century Tuna (2011, 2012 and 2013) and Argentina Corned Beef (2012 and 2013).

The Company continues to enhance brand recognition among consumers by consistently

maintaining high product quality, as well as through active and targeted marketing and

promotional campaigns such as using well-recognized celebrities to endorse its products. The

Company believes that its well-recognized brands have allowed it to develop strong customer

loyalty resulting in repeat purchases that provide it with greater pricing power relative to its

competitors.

Furthermore, the Company believes that the established reputations and market-leading

positions of its brands provide a strong platform to maintain and grow its market shares

through new products, product line extensions and expansion of its distribution networks.

Multi-category, multi-brand product portfolio catering to different customer tastes and

price points

The Company has a diverse product portfolio with multiple product lines across fish, meatsand dairy. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a portfolio comprising 128 SKUs for



tuna products, 101 SKUs for canned meat products, 25 SKUs for sardine products and 29

SKUs for dairy and mixes products. The Company produces numerous product variants to

cater to different customer tastes. For example, the Company produces chicken, pork and

tuna-based vienna sausages to capture the full range of consumer preferences for this product.

In addition, the Company packages its products in different sizes to target different customer price points. This diverse product portfolio allows it to capture a larger share of the

consumers' wallets and provides broader avenues for future growth, both within and across its

key product categories. In addition, this also reduces its dependence on any single product

category or brand, and makes the Company more resilient to changes in the competitive

landscape or price fluctuations in raw material that may impact one product category more

than another.

In addition, leveraging on the Company's strong reputation and recognition for product

quality, the Company has also developed a multi-brand strategy within each product segment

that allows it to broaden its reach to customers more easily than its competitors. Within each

of its product segments, the Company offers a wide portfolio of brands and products to meet a

diverse range of consumer tastes, preferences and price points allowing for a comprehensivecoverage of the Filipino consumer market. For example, in the canned tuna segment, the

Century Tuna brand targets the up-market canned tuna consumer whereas the 555 Tuna brand

is aimed at the budget or cost-conscious canned tuna consumer. This allows the Company to

broaden its customer base and capture the benefits from growth in disposable income from a

larger proportion of the population. In addition, this segmentation allows the Company to

target consumers in different regions with different demographics with the right brand, as

well as react quickly and opportunistically to changes in consumer preferences and to act

defensively against any action by competitors.

The Company‘s diverse product portfolio also provides marketing and product synergies

across segments. For example, product recipes and formulations achieved through internalresearch and development are shared across product segments. In addition, international best

practices implemented in the tuna export segment are shared across the Company‘s various

production lines, improving production processes and enhancing product quality.

Strong track record of product innovation and successful introduction of new products

Product innovation and development has been an important element in the Company‘s

business strategy and has been crucial to the Company‘s success. The Company has

demonstrated strong innovative capabilities as shown by its consistent track record of

launching new products to address changing consumer needs and preferences. For example,

the Company differentiates its products from plain canned tuna/meat by developing new

flavors and dishes that are designed and packaged as ready-to-eat meals. In particular, theCompany‘s ready-to-eat dishes use tuna as the main ingredient in traditionally beef, pork and



chicken- based dishes such as kaldereta, adobo and afritada to increase consumers‘ acceptance

of the product while providing consumers with a healthier alternative. In the dairy segment,

the Company has successfully introduced two-in-one products such as Angel Kremdensada (a

combination of all-purpose cream and condensed milk) and Angel KremQueso (a combination

of all-purpose cream and cheese) to provide convenient and cost-effective options forconsumers. In addition to innovative products, the Company has noticed a shift in preference

from canned products to flexible packaging or products sealed in pouches. In response, the

Company has started to produce pouched tuna products.

Furthermore, the Company has a strong ability to bring its products to the market using

innovative marketing strategies. The Company‘s marketing campaigns are jointly developed

between its highly experienced in-house marketing team and independent creative agencies.

The Company employs the use of celebrity endorsements in its marketing strategies to link

each product to the intended branding message. Over the years the Company has launched

numerous successful marketing campaigns, including a focused marketing campaign for

Argentina Corned Beef , which became the leading brand in its segment. The Company viewsits ability to market its products as a critical success factor and invests heavily in advertising

and endorsements. The Company‘s ability to develop new products and successfully bring

them to the market allows the Company to further segment each product category and tailor it

to consumers‘ tastes and preferences, preventing product commoditization.

Extensive market penetration through multi-channel distribution network

The Company operates and manages one of the most extensive distribution networks across

the Philippines, with its products available in every major city, creating a significant

competitive advantage.



The Company has developed strong relationships directly with retailers, including modern

and general trade stores, as well as through third-party distributors. Approximately 58% of the

Company‘s distribution is through modern trade and approximately 42% is through general

trade. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s modern trade coverage holds 200 direct

accounts and 3,772 outlets, comprising national retail chains with outlets across the

Philippines, such as Robinsons Supermarkets, SM Supermarkets, Metro department stores,

Puregold and 7-Eleven, as well as regional retailers. The Company‘s general trade coverage

has grown significantly from approximately 70,000 outlets in 2010 to approximately 225,168

outlets including sari-sari stores, wet markets, wholesalers and regional supermarkets in

2013. The Company operates 14 distribution centers, allowing the Company to respond

quickly to changes in customer demand.

In addition, the Company employs its own sales and distribution force consisting of

approximately 159 personnel, including sales administration and support functions. The

Company believes that employing a majority of its sales force in-house has resulted in a

relatively higher level of motivation and incentivization among its employees that hascontributed to the strong growth in the sales of the Company‘s products. This arrangement



also enables the Company to work closely with its customers and develop strong relationships

with them. The Company continually seeks ways to expand the reach of its distribution

network, especially in the Mindanao and Visayas regions. The Company believes that its

multi-channel distribution network and its strong relationships with customers has allowed it

to maximize customer reach and has been one of the key factors to its success in building anddeveloping its market-leading positions.

CNPF‘s extensive distribution network is supported by its strategically located production

facilities. The Company‘s tuna processing facility, with an installed capacity of 360 MT per

day as of December 31, 2013, is located in General Santos, Mindanao, which is the heart of

the Philippine tuna industry as it is geographically adjacent to two large tuna fishing grounds,

the Western Pacific Ocean and the waters between Southern Philippines and Indonesia. In

addition, one of the Company‘s sardine processing facilities, with an installed capacity of 200

MT per day as of December 31, 2013, is located in Zamboanga, which is the center of the

Philippine sardine industry. The proximity to the source of supply ensures the availability of

fresh fish, a critical element in maintaining a high quality product and lowering the

Company‘s logistics costs. The Company‘s meat processing plant and milk and mixes plant,located in Laguna and Taguig, respectively, are also strategically located close to major

markets, which reduces the cost of transporting products to customers. The Company‘s meat

processing plant has an installed capacity of 194 MT per day as of December 31, 2013 while

the Company‘s milk and mixes plant has an installed capacity of 11,000 cases per day as of

December 31, 2013.

Highly scalable export business that supplies processed tuna to leading international

companies and distributes branded products to high growth markets

The Company‘s export business, comprising private label processed tuna as well as branded

products, is complementary to its domestic business as it helps increase scale and reduce

costs, increasing the Company‘s competitiveness. An additional benefit of the scalability of

the export business is that it allows the export business to focus on quality and achieve higher

margins.

The Company has developed a reputation in the international food manufacturing community

as a reliable and trusted partner. It has supplied some of the largest food manufacturers

globally, including Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee Foods LLC, Subway, Princes, Rio Mare,

Hagoromo, Hoko and California Garden. The Company is constantly looking to enter into

additional agreements with potential partners. The Company believes that supplying leading

global food manufacturers in some of the most stringently regulated markets in the world

represents an endorsement of the quality of the Company‘s products.

The Company currently supplies to brands and retailers in five continents and covers major

markets including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and the Middle East, broken

down as follows:

2013 2012 2011

% of total exports

North America 7% 12% 38%

Europe 44% 16% 16%

Asia and Australia 49% 67% 40%

Middle East 0% 5% 6%



The Company was the leading Philippine exporter of canned tuna and frozen tuna loin

products for the year ended December 31, 2013, with a market share of 34% according to data

from the Philippine Bureau of Customs (the ―BOC‖).

The Company also distributes its branded products internationally, particularly to China and

Vietnam, through its affiliates. Century International (China) Company Limited and Century

Shanghai Trading Company, joint ventures between CCC and Thai Union Manufacturing

Company, Ltd., as well as Century Pacific Vietnam Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of

CCC, have headquarters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Vietnam, respectively. These offices

distribute the Company‘s branded products to major cities in the region. The Company‘s

products are carried by retailers such as Carrefour, Walmart, Tesco Hymall, Metro and

Auchan, among others. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s private label and branded

products are distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

CNPF has earned a number of international accreditations for food safety and quality. CNPF

has been accredited by the US FDA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the British Retail

Consortium, the European Union, the Orthodox Union and the Islamic Dawah Council. Inaddition, all of CNPF‘s processing facilities apply the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control

Points (the ―HACCP‖) plan, a management system which addresses food safety through the

analysis and control of biological, chemical and physical hazards from raw material

production, procurement and handling to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the

finished product

Experienced and dedicated management team

The Company is led by an experienced and dedicated management team with a proven track

record of success. Members of the senior management team have an average of over 25 years

of industry experience, including experience working in large, multinational corporations in

the food industry. The management team is well accustomed to the Philippine operating

environment and has effectively managed the Company both in times of strong economic

growth as well as through periods of economic downturn and political instability. The

strength and depth of the experience of the Company‘s management team have been

demonstrated by their successful implementation of a range of efficiency programs and

product innovations, which has resulted in continued profitability and market leadership for

the Company over the years. In addition, management team has a proven track record of

turning previously under-promoted and neglected brands, such as Birch Tree and Blue Bay,

into successful brands by applying the Company‘s strategies, such as proper branding and

extensive national distribution coverage.

The Company believes that members of its management team are highly regarded in theindustry, and they hold a variety of leadership positions in food industry organizations, such

as the Sardine Association of the Philippines, the Philippine Association of Meat Processors

Inc., the Tuna Canners‘ Association of the Philippines. The management team‘s industry

leadership positions also create a valuable local business network for the Company.

Strategies

The Company seeks to strengthen its leading market position in the Philippines and expand its

business operations by implementing the following business strategies:



Actively develop and manage product and brand portfolios to target different price

points and respond to emerging market trends

The Company has a history of driving growth through new and innovative products,

capitalizing on emerging market trends and introducing extensions of successful product

lines. The Company will continue growing its existing product categories and deliver

innovative products under trusted brands and the Company is committed to developing and

expanding its product categories to meet evolving consumer tastes and preferences. In

addition, the Company will continue to market different brands to target different consumer

price points. For example, the Company believes that there are growth opportunities in the

canned meat market and plans to target the premium segment through the development of the

Swift brand.

The Company also intends to continuously review its product offerings to rationalize

unprofitable products from its portfolio. To enhance the stability of its revenue stream and

profit margins, the Company plans to increase the percentage of sales of products that have

performed well and which the Company believes will continue to do so. For example, asPhilippine consumers have become more health conscious, the Company‘s marketing strategy

has evolved to highlight the health benefits of Century Tuna and to present the Company‘s

ready-to-eat tuna viands as healthier alternatives to traditional beef, pork and chicken-based

dishes. The Company has also noticed a shift in consumer preference from canned products to

products in sealed pouches or flexible packaging. The Company has pre-empted this shift in

preference and has developed the capability to produce pouched products. The Company

intends to increase its product offerings in pouched or flexible packaging, which the

Company believes will develop new product segments and further penetrate the ready-to-eat

meal segment.

In addition, the Company is ranked second in the Philippine condensed/evaporated milk

market and third in the Philippine all-purpose cream segment, according to AC Nielsen. The

Company sees a strong growth opportunity for the dairy market and has developed various

initiatives to grow its dairy business. For example, the Company has responded to changing

consumer preferences and plans to develop ready-to-drink products. The Company also plans

to continue aggressively promoting the Angel and Birch Tree brands through marketing

campaigns within the next two years. In particular, the Company plans to grow the Angel

brand through improved formulations, smaller packaging sizes for more budget-conscious

consumers and achieving a market leading position in the two-in-one product platform for

canned milk and cream. For the Birch Tree brand, the Company intends to expand into adult

and children‘s milk segments through powdered milk, flavored milk drinks and other product

formats.

Expand distribution network to capitalize on growing retail segments and target

customers in high growth segments

The Company plans to capitalize on rapidly growing retail segments such as 24-hour

convenience trade and modern trade channels, and to expand its distribution network,

targeting to reach 250,000 directly served points of sale in 2014. In particular, the Company

plans to expand its distribution network in the Philippines by increasing the number of retail

outlets that its regional sales force services directly. At the same time, the Company is

working with its distributors to increase its penetration of general trade outlets, particularly in

more remote areas such as Mindanao and the Visayas. In addition, there are regions in the

Philippines such as Central Visayas where the Company is not the market leader due the

incumbency of regional market leaders. However, the Company believes that with sustained

presence through a well-developed distribution network in those regions, the Company will



be able to gain market share in those areas. The Company believes that the Philippine market

is still underserved in certain product categories and there are growth opportunities to

improve its distribution network. The Company plans to penetrate these underserved areas by

reaching out to a greater number of smaller informal retailers such as sari-sari stores and wet

markets.

Another area the Company has identified as a growth avenue is the food service segment.

While sales to food service customers, such as, but not limited to, Jollibee, KFC, Starbucks

and 7-Eleven, contributed less than 3% of the Company‘s total revenue for the year ended

December 31, 2013, the Company believes there are significant opportunities to work closely

with customers and expand existing relationships, as well as establish relationships with a

wider range of customers in this segment. The Company understands the needs of its food

service customers and proactively suggests new products or recipes suited for such

customers‘ business. As its food service customers continue to expand their business, the

Company intends to further collaborate with such customers and increase its sales in this

segment.

Enter into new product categories

In addition to growing and developing its existing product and brand portfolio, the Company

plans to enter into new product categories. The Company believes its competitive strengths

and deep understanding of the Philippine market provide significant advantages when

entering into new product categories. In 2014, the Company plans to start marketing and

distributing beverage products, such as coconut water, by leveraging on the Company‘s

extensive distribution network and experienced sales and marketing personnel. The

Company‘s marketing strategy will highlight the health benef its of these beverage products in

line with the Company‘s health and wellness theme and will enable the Company to penetrate

new product categories.

The Company also entered into a distribution agreement with Kapal Api of Indonesia in

November 16, 2012 to distribute Kapal Api‘s coffee products in the Philippines. Kapal Api is

an Indonesian company engaged in, among others, the operation of a coffee plantation, the

production of non-dairy creamer, the production of espresso machines, and the distribution of

coffee and coffee products.

Optimize export business to further penetrate the private label export market and

increase presence of branded products in overseas markets

As the current leading tuna exporter in the Philippines, the Company is well positioned to

increase its market share in the export business. The Company intends to increase the numberof partners for its private label export business in order to gain greater scale and better

capitalize on economies of scale. The Company believes this should further improve profit

margins of its export business.

The Company currently distributes its branded products across North America, Europe, Asia,

Australia, and the Middle East. The Company has noticed increasing brand awareness among

Filipino communities around the world and similar demands from Latino communities. While

overseas Filipino communities were the initial target customer base for its branded exports,

the Company has seen growing demand for its products in mainstream markets as the

Company continues to build the presence of its branded products in overseas markets. The

Company intends to capitalize on this trend and has started to sell its branded products to

Walmart, Albertsons and Kroger in the US, as well as negotiate with other retailers to have its

products sold in Asian food sections of their stores. The Company plans to enter into



distribution agreements with several other large retailers in North America likely within the

next 12 months.

Opportunistic acquisition and development of strong regional brands

The Company has a proven track record of turning previously under-promoted and neglected

brands into market leading brands by applying its strategies, such as proper marketing and

extensive national distribution coverage. For example, Birch Tree was a strong brand in the

Philippines in the 1970s but lost significant market share as it did not receive marketing

support for many years prior to the Company‘s acquisition of the brand in 2003. After

acquiring the brand, the Company initially relied on its distribution network to increase the

penetration of Birch Tree products in modern and general trade outlets. The Company then

supported the brand through a strategic marketing campaign. Through the Company‘s efforts,

the Birch Tree brand was able to grow to 22.0% market share in the full cream milk powder

segment as of July 2011, according to AC Nielsen. The Company will continue to seize

acquisition opportunities and acquire brands opportunistically to penetrate new market

segments. Examples include the Century Group‘s recent acquisition of Swift from RFMCorporation in 2012, which allowed the Century Group to compete in the premium canned

meats segment, and the Century Group‘s acquisition of the Home Pride and Kaffe De Oro

brands in 2008.

Cost improvements through backward integration, streamlined logistics and cost-

engineering

The Company is focused on increasing the efficiency of its existing operations and

implementing targeted cost-saving initiatives in its businesses. In particular, the Company

intends to implement cost improvements through backward integration. The Company

sources the majority of its requirements from third-party suppliers. However, the Company

will be building a second tin can manufacturing facility which, upon completion by the end of

2014, is expected to produce approximately 25% to 30% of the Company‘s tin can

requirements. By producing a significant portion of its tin can requirements internally, the

Company will be able to improve its profit margins by sourcing the tin cans at cost and

reducing logistics costs associated with purchasing from third-party suppliers.

In addition, the Company‘s research and development team is an integral part of the

continued effort to identify cost improvements while maintaining high product quality

standards. For example, the Company‘s research and development team has been able to

increase the use of alternative raw materials, such as soy-based proteins, to lower production

costs for certain products. The Company estimates that research and development costs

accounts for less than 1% of its revenues.

The Company continues to periodically review and streamline its inter-island logisticsnetwork in order to improve operational and cost efficiencies. For example, the Company



plans to curtail the operations of or consolidate under-utilized depots and warehouses thereby

reducing costs while maintaining appropriate service coverage. The Company is also able to

leverage on its economies of scale to further rationalize its production and distribution costs.

Realizing savings through cost reduction initiatives will improve the Company‘s profit

margins and enable the Company to continue growing its portfolios of brands and products.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Offer Shares involves a number of risks. The price of securities can and does

fluctuate, and any individual security is likely to experience upward or downward movements and may

even become valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as

a result of buying and selling securities. Past performance is not indicative of future performance and

results, and there may be a large difference between the buying price and the selling price of the Offer

Shares. Investors should carefully consider all the information contained in this Prospectus, including

the risk factors described below, before deciding to invest in the Offer Shares. The occurrence of any of

the following events, or other events not currently anticipated, could have a material adverse effect on

the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and cause the market price of

the Offer Shares to decline. All or part of an investment in the Offer Shares could be lost.

The means by which the Company intends to address the risk factors discussed herein are principally

presented in this section and under the captions ―Business,‖ ―Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,‖ ―Industry,‖ and ―Board of Directors and Se nior

Management —Corporate Governance‖ of this Prospectus. This risk factor discussion does not purport to disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of investing in the Offer Shares. Investors

should undertake independent research and study the trading of securities before commencing any

trading activity. Investors should seek professional advice regarding any aspect of the securities such

as the nature of risks involved in the trading of securities, and specifically those of high-risk securities.

Investors may request publicly available information on the Common Shares and the Company from

the SEC.

The risk factors discussed in this section are of equal importance and are only separated into

categories for ease of reference.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

CNPF’s financial performance may be materially and adversely affected by fluctuations

in prices or disruption in the supply of key raw materials.

CNPF‘s production operations depend upon adequate supplies of raw materials which are

procured both within and outside of the Philippines. Raw material prices are affected by a

number of factors, including but not limited to changes in the global or regional levels of

supply and demand, weather conditions, customs and import duties and government controls.

In particular, CNPF‘s primary tuna production operations are affected by the availability and

price of tuna, which is a key raw material for its canned and processed fish segment and its

tuna export segment. To ensure the sustainability of the global tuna population, various

government authorities worldwide have implemented a number of regulations, includingrestrictions on fishing capacity and prohibiting the use of certain fishing methods during

certain times of the year. Such governmental regulations have impacted the global supply of

tuna, which in turn impacts tuna prices. Tuna prices have increased in recent years from an

average price of US$1,526 per ton in 2011 to US$1,954 per ton in 2012. Similarly, the

Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources imposes a three month ban on sardines

fishing from the beginning of December to the end of February as part of an effort to ensure a

sustainable domestic sardines population and to encourage responsible production of canned

sardines. The sardines fishing ban limits domestic sardines supply during the three-month

period and domestic canned sardines producers resort to alternative sources such as higher

cost imported sardines. The prices of other raw materials used in CNPF‘s principal

businesses, including tin cans, meat and milk powder, have also fluctuated from time to time.



Although CNPF actively monitors the availability and prices of raw materials, there can be no

assurance that raw materials will be supplied in adequate quantities or at the required quality

to meet CNPF‘s production requirements, or that these raw materials will not be subject to

significant price fluctuations in the future. CNPF may only have a limited ability to hedge

against commodity prices and any hedging activities may not be as effective as planned.Moreover, market prices of raw materials could increase significantly and there is no

assurance that such increases can be passed on to the consumers. Any significant shortages or

material increase in the market price of key raw materials could have a material adverse effect

on CNPF‘s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Aside from actively monitoring raw materials availability and prices, it has been CNPF‘s

policy to maintain a network of specialty ingredient suppliers that develop new ingredient

substitutes to mitigate raw materials disruption of supply.

CNPF’s sales growth depends on successful introduction of new products and new

product extensions, which is subject to consumer preference and other market factors at

the time of introduction.

Competitive pressure requires CNPF to regularly introduce new products and product

extensions in order to maintain its market share. CNPF may suffer a decrease in sales if its

product portfolio does not track new dietary trends and other consumer sentiments, or

compete effectively with the pricing and product offerings of its competitors. However,

launching new products and product extensions requires significant capital expenditures to

cover advertising and promotional costs, research and development initiatives, and other

operating costs associated with the production and introduction of such products. CNPF‘s

financial condition and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected if any

product launches are unsuccessful.

The success of new products and product extensions depend on various factors, including the

availability of discretionary income, which may be tied to prices of other consumer goods, as

well as varying consumption preferences in different geographic regions. In addition, the

success of CNPF‘s new products and new product extensions may be affected by competitors‘

activities. The timing of product launches, pricing and advertising efforts of competitors may

also impact CNPF‘s sales of new products. In the past, CNPF has introduced new products

and product extensions which were unsuccessful and there can be no guarantee that CNPF

will be able to introduce new products successfully in the future. If CNPF cannot successfully

introduce new products and new product extensions, its business, financial condition and

results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

CNPF, its independent advisers, and experienced marketers continuously conduct extensiveconsumer and product research to increase the likelihood of successful product launches.

Actual or alleged contamination or deterioration of, or safety concerns about, CNPF’s

food products or similar products produced by third parties could give rise to product

liability claims and harm CNPF’s reputation.

CNPF‘s success depends largely upon consumers‘ perception of the quality of its products,

and CNPF‘s business could be adversely affected by the actual or alleged contamination or

deterioration of its products, or of similar products produced by third parties. A risk of

contamination or deterioration of CNPF‘s food products exists at each stage of the production

cycle, including the purchase and delivery of perishable raw materials, the processing and

packaging of food products, the stocking and delivery of the finished products to customers,

and the storage and display of finished products at the points of final sale. In particular, CNPF



has little, if any, control over handling procedures once its products have been dispatched for

distribution and is, therefore, particularly vulnerable to problems in this phase. Even an

inadvertent distribution of contaminated products may constitute a violation of law and may

lead to increased risk of exposure to product liability claims, product recalls, increased

scrutiny and penalties, including injunctive relief and plant closures by regulatory authorities,as well as adverse publicity, which could exacerbate the associated negative consumer

reaction. In addition, reports or allegations of inadequate quality control with respect to

similar food products produced by other manufacturers may negatively affect the sales of

CNPF‘s products.

If CNPF‘s food products are found, or alleged, to have suffered contamination or

deterioration, regardless of whether such products were under its control, such problems

could harm the reputation of CNPF‘s products and/or increase regulatory scrutiny, and could

have a significant impact on the sales of CNPF‘s products. While no material product liability

claim has been filed against CNPF, any such product liability claim, whether or not

successful, could damage the reputation of CNPF and its products, which may have a material

adverse effect on CNPF‘s business, financial condition and results of operations.

CNPF invests in quality control systems, procedures and organization that span the entire

supply chain to ensure product safety. All of CNPF‘s manufacturing facilities comply with

BFAD regulations and a significant majority of CNPF‘s products are manufactured from

factories that are compliant with HACCP regulations. HACCP is an internationally

recognized system of food safety and contamination prevention.

Competition in CNPF’s businesses may adversely affect its financial condition and

results of operations.

CNPF faces competition in all segments of its businesses, both in the Philippine market and in

the international markets in which it operates. The Philippine food industry in general is

highly competitive. Although the degree of competition and principal competitive factors

vary among the different product categories in which CNPF participates, CNPF believes that

key competitive factors include price, product quality, brand awareness and loyalty,

distribution network, foreign competition, proximity of distribution outlets to customers,

product extensions (such as different flavors and packaging) and the introduction of new

products.

In the Philippines, CNPF‘s competitors consist primarily of other large domestic corporations

and, in certain cases, large multinational corporations. Competition in the Philippines is

expected to increase due to the emergence of new domestic food companies and the potential

entry of major foreign food companies. Certain of CNPF‘s international and domesticcompetitors may have substantially greater financial resources than CNPF. CNPF‘s tuna

export segment also faces competition overseas from both domestic and international

companies. CNPF may not be able to compete effectively against its competitors, which could

have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Despite being the leading player in their respective product categories, CNPF works toward

continuously improving its products and processes to stay competitive.

CNPF relies on the strength of its brands.

CNPF is dependent on the strength of its brands and the continued success and growth of its

business depend upon CNPF‘s ability to protect and promote its brands through marketingand promotional efforts. If its marketing or advertising campaigns failed or were deemed to



be inappropriate, the goodwill built over the years by its respective brands, as well as its

business reputation, may be negatively affected. If CNPF fails to successfully protect and

promote its brands, the market perception of its products may deteriorate which may have a

material adverse effect on CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of operations and

prospects.

CNPF has a dedicated team of marketing professionals working closely with highly

competent advertising and research agencies to safeguard and enhance the Company‘s brands.

This team follows established guidelines to ensure consistency and effectiveness of

positioning and message. CNPF has received numerous marketing awards and industry

citations.

Consolidation of distribution channels in the Philippines may adversely affect CNPF’s

financial condition and results of operations.

The Philippine retail market has historically been highly fragmented among numerous small

neighborhood stores, groceries and traditional wet markets. Small neighborhood storesservice limited geographical areas and purchase relatively small quantities of CNPF‘s

products from distributors and larger supermarkets. In recent years, larger supermarket chains

and wholesale retailers have begun to gain significant market share in the Philippines.

In 2012, based on data from AC Nielsen, supermarkets were a significant distribution channel

for CNPF products, accounting for aggregate distribution of approximately 50% of canned

tuna, 32% of canned sardines, 54% of canned corned meat, 58% of canned luncheon meat,

48% of condensed and evaporated milk and 79% of full cream powdered milk sold by CNPF

during the year. See ― Business – Marketing and Distribution‖. There is a risk that CNPF‘s

business may become concentrated in fewer, larger customers, which could increase the

relative bargaining power of these customers. There is no assurance that supermarkets or one

of these larger customers will not exert downward pressure on wholesale prices of CNPF‘s

products, which could have a material adverse effect CNPF‘s business, financial condition

and results of operations.

CNPF fosters collaborative relationships with trade partners. The Company‘s scale, portfolio

of strong brands and years of relationship building allow it to have constructive and fair

agreements with customers on levels of trade investments.

CNPF relies on key suppliers for certain raw materials and the failure by such suppliers

to adhere to and perform contractual obligations may adversely affect CNPF’s business


CNPF relies on key suppliers for certain raw materials. For example, CNPF purchases a

significant portion of its tin can requirements from third-party suppliers. In particular, for the

period ended December 31, 2013, CNPF sourced approximately 65% of its total tin can

requirements from a single supplier. If one or more of CNPF‘s suppliers fail to provide raw

materials in sufficient quantities or at satisfactory quality levels, CNPF‘s raw materi al supply

and production process could be negatively impacted. CNPF would be required to meet any

consequent supply shortfall through other suppliers whose prices may be higher than those of

CNPF‘s original suppliers. In addition, there can be no guarantee that CNPF would be able to

obtain the services of alternative suppliers or otherwise meet any consequent supply shortfall

in a timely manner or at all, which could have a material adverse impact on CNPF‘s business,

financial condition and results of operations.



CNPF has a policy of maintaining a sufficient inventory of key materials. In addition, the

Company maintains a network of suppliers for most critical materials to allow for sourcing

flexibility.

CNPF has a limited history as a separate entity.

Although CNPF‘s businesses have been established for some time, CNPF was incorporated

only on October 25, 2013. CNPF acquired its subsidiaries and businesses as part of the

corporate restructuring of certain of the Century Group‘s business interests. In this r egard,

CNPF faces a number of risks, uncertainties and challenges relating to its ability to integrate

its various operations, develop and successfully execute its overall business strategy, retain

qualified senior management and employees and develop its own administrative and other

supporting infrastructure to replace some of the services which CCC currently provides to

CNPF‘s business segments. Failure to successfully integrate its various business operations or

develop its administrative infrastructure could have a material adverse impact on CNPF‘s

business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the pro forma consolidated financial information of CNPF for the year 2013

included elsewhere in this Prospectus are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or

financial position that would have been achieved had the corporate restructuring been

completed prior to such periods. See ― – Risks relating to presentation of information in this

Prospectus – The pro forma financial information included herein may not be indicative of

actual results‖ for further information.

Although CNPF is a new entity, it has been fully operational as an ongoing business effective

January 1, 2014 as CNPF merely took over existing facilities, employees and operations;

hence, there was no disruption in operations.

CNPF generally does not have long-term contracts with its customers, and it is subject

to uncertainties and variability in demand and product mix.

As is common in the consumer goods business, CNPF does not have long-term contracts with

its customers and, consequently, its revenues are subject to short-term variability resulting

from the seasonality of, and other fluctuations in, demand for its products. CNPF‘s customers

have no obligation to place new orders with it following the expiration of their current

obligations, and may cancel, reduce or delay orders for a variety of reasons. The level and

timing of orders placed by CNPF‘s customers may vary due to a number of factors including:

seasonality and other fluctuations in demand for CNPF‘s products;

the competitiveness of CNPF‘s selling prices in the industry; customer satisfaction with the level of service CNPF provides; and

customers‘ inventory management.

CNPF has not experienced significant cancellations of, and reductions and delays in, its

customers‘ orders in the past.

CNPF maintains good and mutually beneficial relationships with its customers by providing

reasonable terms of sale and payment and ensuring that customers‘ needs are addressed in a

timely manner.

CNPF is exposed to the credit risks of its customers, and delays or defaults in payment

by its customers could have a material adverse effect on CNPF’s financial condition,

results of operations and liquidity.



CNPF is exposed to the credit risk of its customers, and defaults on material payments owed

to CNPF by customers could significantly reduce CNPF‘s operating cash flows and liquidity,

as well as have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Some of CNPF‘s customers could also experience cash flow difficulties or become subject toliquidation, which could in turn lead to CNPF being unable to collect payments or

experiencing long delays in collection.

CNPF‘s account receivables are typically non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-day

terms. As at December 31, 2013, over 83% of the account receivables of CNPF were due

within 30 days. There is no assurance that CNPF‘s exposure to the risk of delayed payments

from its customers or defaults in payment by its customers will not increase, or that it will not

experience losses or cash flow constraints as a result, which could have a material adverse

impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Before extending credit, CNPF conducts a systematic credit investigation of its customers.

The Company also has a policy of requiring security or collateral, in the form of bankguarantees and letters of credit, from certain customers.

Any infringement or failure to protect CNPF’s trademarks and proprietary rights could

materially and adversely affect its business.

CNPF is a licensee of various brand names, related trademarks and other intellectual property

rights to prepare, package, advertise, distribute and sell its products, including Century Tuna,

555 Sardines, Century Quality, Blue Bay Tuna, Fresca, Argentina, 555 Carne Norte, Swift ,

Wow, Lucky 7 , Shanghai, Angel , Kaffe de Oro, Birch Tree and Home Pride. Maintaining the

licenses for and protection of these brands and intellectual property rights is important to

maintaining CNPF‘s distinctive corporate and market identities. If third parties sell productsthat use counterfeit versions of CNPF‘s brands or otherwise look like CNPF brands,

consumers may confuse CNPF products with products that are inferior. This could negatively

impact CNPF‘s brand image and sales. Any failure to protect CNPF‘s proprietary rights may

significantly harm CNPF‘s competitive position, which, in turn, could materially and

adversely affect CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as

well as CNPF‘s reputation.

CNPF‘s licensed brands are registered and kept current in all applicable jurisdictions. While

instances of trademark infringement have been immaterial in the past, the Company will not

hesitate to prosecute any cases of trademark infringement in the future.

CNPF’s strategy of growth, including acquisitions, entering new product categories andinternational expansion, may not always be successful or may entail significant costs,

which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

As part of its expansion plans, CNPF intends to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the

Philippines and internationally and may make any such acquisitions in the future if suitable

opportunities arise. This may require significant investments which may not result in

favorable returns. Acquisitions involve risks associated with unforeseen contingent risks or

latent liabilities relating to these businesses that may only become apparent after the

acquisition is finalized, such as difficulties associated with integration and management of

operations and systems, integration and retention of key personnel, co-ordination of sales and

marketing efforts and diversion of management‘s attention from other ongoing business

concerns. CNPF‘s growth will depend on its ability to manage successfully the expansion of

its operations and integrate the operations of acquired businesses. There can be no assurance



that any such expansion or acquisition will be a success, or that it would not present any of

the challenges described in ― — CNPF’s international operations may present operating,

financial and legal challenges, particularly in countries where CNPF has little or no

experience‖ below. If CNPF‘s growth strategy, including any third party acquisitions, is

unsuccessful, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially andadversely affected.

Over the past 15 years, CNPF has acquired and successfully integrated brands such as Blue

Bay, Birch Tree, Swift , Home Pride and Kaffe de Oro into its businesses. CNPF‘s acquisition

process involves extensive due diligence, assessment of the Company‘s ability to profitably

operate and generate a return on the price paid, as well as an evaluation of the Company‘s

ability to fund the acquisition.

CNPF also intends to expand production and distribution of its product categories

internationally. CNPF may experience losses in the expansion of its international operations if

it is unable to successfully introduce products which appeal to local customers‘ preferences

and establish relationships with reliable distributors, sales agents and wholesalers. In addition,CNPF may be subject to higher operating costs and price constraints in overseas markets such

as China and Vietnam where CNPF has affiliate offices, which may have an adverse effect on

its operating income and profitability.

To minimize exposure and capital outlay for international expansion, CNPF initially appoints

distributors in newly entered markets. Where no suitable distributor can be appointed, the

Company may establish a sales office. Production facilities in a new territory will be

established only when a critical mass of business is already reasonably assured.

CNPF may be subject to labor unrest, slowdowns and increased wage costs.

CNPF is subject to a variety of national and local laws and regulations, including those

relating to labor. CNPF has in the past, and may in the future, be required to defend against

labor claims. While CNPF has not experienced significant labor disruptions or disputes in the

past and CNPF generally considers its labor relations to be good, there can be no assurance

that it will not experience future disruptions to its operations due to disputes or other issues

with its employees. In addition, any changes in labor laws and regulations could result in

CNPF having to incur substantial additional costs to comply with increased minimum wage

and other labor laws. Any of these events may materially and adversely affect CNPF‘s


CNPF manages these risks by adopting policies to ensure a healthy working environment for

its employees that are at minimum in compliance with national and local laws and regulations.

CNPF is effectively controlled by the Po family and their interests may differ from the

interests of other shareholders.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Po family beneficially owns approximately 100% of the

issued share capital of CCC, which beneficially owns approximately 100% of the issued share

capital of CNPF. CCC‘s ownership of the issued share capital of CNPF would decrease to

89.7% upon consummation of the Offer. Members of the Po family also serve as CNPF‘s

directors and executive officers. As a result, the Po family effectively controls CNPF,

including CNPF‘s management, policies and business, through its ability to control actions

that require majority shareholder approval and through its representatives on CNPF‘s Board.

Furthermore, this concentration of voting power may discourage or prevent a change in



control or other business combinations, which could deprive investors of an opportunity to

receive a premium for the Common Shares as part of a sale of CNPF.

Members of the Po family, who either individually or collectively have controlled CNPF

since its inception, have private interests in a number of companies either alone or together

with other family members. The respective businesses or activities of these companies and of

companies that are part of the Century Group engage in certain business activities which

compete with those of CNPF. There is nothing to prevent companies that are controlled by the

Po family from engaging in activities that compete directly with CNPF‘s businesses. There

can also be no assurance that the Po family will not take advantage of business opportunities

that may otherwise be attractive to CNPF. The interests of the Po family and CCC, as CNPF‘s

controlling shareholders, may differ significantly from CNPF‘s interests or the interests of

other shareholders, and there can be no assurance that the Po family and CCC will exercise

influence over CNPF in a manner that is in the best interests of CNPF‘s other shareholders.

CNPF has significant commercial transactions with certain companies in the Century Group.

See ― Related Party Transactions‖. CNPF expects that it will continue to enter intotransactions with companies directly or indirectly controlled by or associated with CCC and

the Po family. These transactions may involve potential conflicts of interest which could be

detrimental to CNPF and/or its shareholders. There can be no assurance that CNPF‘s related

party transactions will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition


CNPF has adopted a Manual of Corporate Governance that to ensure that its business,

including related party transactions, are conducted with transparency and to protect minority

investors.

CNPF’s international sales may present operating, financial and legal challenges,

particularly in countries where CNPF has little or no experience.

CNPF currently sells its products through affiliate offices in China and Vietnam, and it

intends to further expand sales in these regions. These international operations, particularly in

countries where CNPF has little or no experience, may be subject to inherent risks including

uncertain legal environments, different consumer preferences, unexpected or difficult

regulatory, licensing or administration requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers,

difficulties in training and retraining staff and managing foreign operations, potentially

adverse tax consequences and difficulties in transferring earnings to CNPF‘s operations in t he

Philippines.

In addition, CNPF‘s international sales of products will be influenced, to a significant degree, by political, economic and social developments in the countries in which it operates. CNPF is

subject to the risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of

which could adversely affect its business. These risks include but are not limited to:

general economic downturns;

currency exchange rate fluctuations or imposition of foreign exchange

controls;

governmental policies, laws or regulations, including increased protectionism

affecting import and export duties and quotas or customs and tariffs;

uncertainty regarding, or different levels of, protection of CNPF‘s intellectual

property;



international incidents, including war or acts of terrorism;

government instability; and

nationalization of assets.

Any adverse economic, political or social developments in the countries in which CNPF sells

its products could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

While the Company has customers across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the

Middle East, the Company‘s largest customers by volume are in developed and stable

economies of these regions.

CNPF’s existing insurance policies and self -insurance measures may not be sufficient to

cover the full extent of any losses.

CNPF may not be fully insured against, and insurance may not be available for, losses caused

by accidents, natural disasters, breakdowns or other events that could affect the facilities and processes used by its businesses. For example, CNPF does not carry business interruption

insurance and self-insures against this risk. Any losses caused by events against which it is

not fully insured could result in a decline in production, adverse publicity, and significant

expenditure of resources to address such losses, and would have a material and adverse effect

on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any accident at CNPF‘s operations and facilities could result in significant losses. It could

suffer a decline in production, receive adverse publicity and be forced to invest significant

resources in addressing such losses, both in terms of time and money. There is no assurance

that there will not be work-related or other accidents in the future. Furthermore, there is no

assurance that amicable settlements will be secured in the event of accidents or that accidents

will not result in litigation or regulatory action against CNPF. Such events could materially

and adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

CNPF conducts a quarterly review to ensure that all insurable assets of the Company are

adequately covered at the right valuation.

CNPF’s businesses and operations are substantially dependent upon key executives.

CNPF has relied and will continue to rely significantly on the continued individual and

collective contributions of its senior management team. Some members of CNPF‘s

management are leaders or members of certain key industry associations in the Philippines,

and CNPF believes it benefits from those relationships and expertise. If any of CNPF‘s seniormanagement are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, or if they join a

competitor or form a competing business, CNPF may not be able to replace them easily, and

its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and

adversely affected.

To mitigate the risk of departing key managers, the Company‘s succession planning process

has identified members of management that can temporarily assume additional

responsibilities arising from departing managers until suitable successors can be recruited.

Problems may develop among partners of joint ventures operated by CNPF, which may

result in disruptions to these businesses.



The businesses of some of CNPF‘s subsidiaries and associates are conducted through joint

ventures of CCC, such as Century International (China) Company Limited and Century

Shanghai Trading Company, joint ventures between CCC and Thai Union Manufacturing

Company, Ltd.

Cooperation among the joint venture partners on business decisions is crucial to the sound

operation and financial success of these joint venture companies. Although CNPF believes it

good relationships are maintained with joint venture partners and there have been no instance

of major disagreements or defaults by either party on their obligations, there is no assurance

that these relationships will be sustained in the future or that problems will not develop.

CNPF hopes to mitigate this risk by conducting extensive due diligence on all prospective

business partners, fostering collaborative relationships, and ensuring that these business

partners have the same values and objectives as the Company‘s.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PHILIPPINES

The substantial majority of CNPF’s income is derived from sales in the Philippines and,

therefore, a slowdown in economic growth in the Philippines could materially adversely

affect CNPF’s financial condition and results of operation.

In the year ended December 31, 2013, CNPF‘s operations in the Philippines accounted for

69% of its net sales. Historically, results of operations have been influenced, and will

continue to be influenced, to a significant degree by the general state of the Philippine

economy. Much of the demand for CNPF‘s core product categories are directly linked to the

purchasing power of Filipino consumers and demand for these products tends to decline

during economic downturns when consumers‘ disposable incomes decline. As a result,

CNPF‘s income and results of operations depend, to a significant extent, on the performance

of the Philippine economy. In the past, the Philippines has experienced periods of slow or

negative growth, high inflation, significant devaluation of the peso and the imposition of

exchange controls.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Philippine GDP growth rate accelerated to 7.2%,

compared to growth rate of 6.8% in the year ended December 31, 2012, and GNP growth rate

accelerated to 7.5% in the year ended December 31, 2013, from 6.5% in year ended

December 31, 2012. Any deterioration in the economic conditions in the Philippines may

adversely affect consumer sentiment and lead to a reduction in demand for CNPF‘s products.

There can be no assurance that current or future Governments will adopt economic policies

conducive to sustaining economic growth.

A decline in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies would

increase many of CNPF’s costs.

CNPF has foreign exchange exposure primarily associated with fluctuations in the value of

the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. The substantial majority of

CNPF‘s revenues are denominated in Pesos, while certain of its expenses, particularly its raw

material costs, are denominated in U.S. dollars or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars.

On the other hand,

Any future depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect CNPF‘s




While Peso devaluation has a negative impact on imported materials, it positively impacts the

Company‘s export business and increases the purchasing power of Overseas Filipino Workers

(―OFW‖) families.

Any political instability or acts of terrorism in the Philippines may adversely affect

CNPF.

The Philippines has from time to time experienced political and military instability and acts of

terrorism. In the last few years, there has been political instability in the Philippines, including

impeachment proceedings against two former presidents and the chief justice of the Supreme

Court of the Philippines, public and military protests arising from alleged misconduct by

previous administrations. In addition, there is no guarantee that acts of election-related

violence will not occur in the future and such events could negatively impact the Philippine

economy. The Philippines has also been subject to a number of terrorist attacks since 2000.

The Philippine army has been in conflict with the Abu Sayyaf organization which has been

identified as being responsible for kidnapping and terrorist activities in the Philippines. An

unstable political environment, whether due to the imposition of emergency executive rule,martial law or widespread popular demonstrations or rioting, could negatively affect the

general economic conditions and operating environment in the Philippines, which could have

a material adverse effect on CNPF‘s business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATING TO THE OFFER AND THE OFFER SHARES

The Offer Shares may not be a suitable investment for all investors.

Each prospective investor in the Offer Shares must determine the suitability of that

investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each prospective investor should:

have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of theCompany and its businesses, the merits and risks of investing in the Offer Shares and

the information contained in this Prospectus;

have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the

context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Offer Shares and the

impact the Offer Shares will have on its overall investment portfolio;

have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all the risks of an investment

in the Offer Shares, including where the currency for purchasing and receiving

dividends on the Offer Shares is different from the potential investor‘s currency;

understand and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant financial markets; and

be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial advisor) possible

scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment

in the Offer Shares and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

There can be no guarantee that the Offer Shares will be listed on the PSE.

Purchasers of Offer Shares will be required to pay for such Offer Shares on the Offer

Settlement Date, which is expected to be on or about May 6, 2014. Because the Listing Date

is scheduled to occur after both the Offer Settlement Date, there can be no guarantee that

listing will occur on the anticipated Listing Date or at all. Delays in the admission and thecommencement of trading in shares on the PSE have occurred in the past. If the PSE does not



admit the Offer Shares onto the PSE, the market for the Offer Shares will be illiquid and

shareholders may not be able to trade the Offer Shares. This may materially and adversely

affect the value of the Offer Shares.

There has been no prior market for the Common Shares, so there may be no liquidity in

the market for the Offer Shares and the price of the Offer Shares may fall.

As there has been no prior trading in the Common Shares, there can be no assurance that an

active market for the Offer Shares will develop following the Offer or, if developed, that such

market will be sustained.

The Offer Price has been determined after taking into consideration a number of factors

including, but not limited to, the Company‘s prospects, the market prices for shares of

companies engaged in related businesses similar to the Company‘s and prevailing market

conditions. The price at which the Common Shares will trade on the PSE at any point in time

after the Offer may vary significantly from the Offer Price.

The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile, which could cause the value of

investors’ investments in the Company to decline.

The market price of securities can and does fluctuate, and it is impossible to predict whether

the price of the Common Shares will rise or fall or even lose all of its value. The market price

of Common Shares could be affected by several factors, including:

general market, political and economic conditions;

changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;

changes in market valuations of listed shares in general and other retail shares in

particular;

the market value of the assets of the Company;

changes to Government policy, legislation or regulations; and

general operational and business risks.

In addition, many of the risks described elsewhere in this Prospectus could materially and

adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.

In part as a result of the global economic downturn, the global equity markets have

experienced price and volume volatility that has affected the share prices of many companies.

Share prices for many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have often beenunrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Fluctuations such as these may

adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.

Future sales of Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the

prevailing market price of the Common Shares and Shareholders may experience

dilution in their holdings.

In order to finance the ex pansion of the Company‘s business and operations, the Board will

consider the funding options available to them at the time, which may include the sale of

additional Common Shares from the treasury or the issuance of new Common Shares. If

additional funds are raised through the sale or issuance of new equity or equity-linked

securities by the Company other than on a pro rata basis to existing shareholders, the

percentage ownership of the shareholders may be reduced, shareholders may experience



subsequent dilution and/or such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior

to those of the Offer Shares. Further, the market price of the Common Shares could decline as

a result of future sales of substantial amounts of Common Shares in the public market or the

issuance of new Common Shares, or the perception that such sales, transfers or issuances may

occur. This could also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of theCommon Shares or the Company‘s ability to raise capital in the future at a time and at a price

it deems appropriate.

Investors may incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of purchasing Offer

Shares.

The issue price of the Common Shares in the Offer may be substantially higher than the net

tangible book value of net assets per share of the Company‘s outstanding Common Shares.

Therefore, purchasers of Offer Shares may experience immediate and substantial dilution and

the Company‘s existing shareholders may experience a material increase in the net tangib le

book value of net assets per share of the Common Shares they own. See ― Dilution‖.

The Company may be unable to pay dividends on the Common Shares.

There is no assurance that the Company can or will declare dividends on the Common Shares

in the future. Future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend

upon the Company‘s future results of operations and general financial condition, capital

requirements, its ability to receive dividends and other distributions and payments from its

subsidiaries, foreign exchange rates, legal, regulatory and contractual restrictions, loan

obligations and loan covenants, including loan obligations and loan covenants of its

subsidiaries, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. See ― Dividends and Dividend

Policy‖.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION IN THIS

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offer for the payment of financialobligations, capital expenditures to increase production capacity and cost efficiency, workingcapital and/or potential acquisitions. Further details on the proposed use of proceeds are setforth below:

Acquisitions

1,032.5 33.8% 2014 to 1st Quarter 2015

Estimated Net Proceeds ........ ........ ......... .... 3,051.5 100.0%

Working Capital Requirements and/or Potential Acquisitions

The Company expects a need for additional Working Capital as more investments in accountsreceivable – trade and inventory assets are seen necessary as a result of an anticipatedupswing in sales and market share, given the Company‘s intensified marketing and salesinitiatives for its canned tuna, canned sardine, canned meat, and dairy and mixes businesses.

The Company also has a strong track record of expanding product offerings throughsuccessful acquisitions of strong but undervalued local brands. The Company remains open tosimilar opportunistic brand acquisitions, including entering into new segments and unlockingmarket potentials of regional brands. The Company likewise expects to use a portion of thenet proceeds from the Offer for the potential acquisition of new brands and/or branded food

companies to penetrate new market segments. However, as of date, the Company has neitherdefinitively identified the targeted brands and/or branded food companies nor negotiated anyterms for acquisition with anybody.

Capital Expenditures

The Company will use a portion the net proceeds to fund capital expenditures that willimprove cost efficiencies and achieve higher profitability in the future. A major project in thelist of capital expenditure projects is the establishment of a tin can factory in General SantosCity that will effectively reduce the tin can costs for the Company‘s domestic canned tuna

production. The tin can factory's building costs ₱98 million, machinery and major equipmentcost ₱303.6 million, and lab and other miscellaneous equipment ₱56 million. The new facility

is planned to have an output capacity of at least two million tin cans a year, supplying



between 25% to 30% of the company‘s tin can requirements, and is expected to be completed

and commercially operational by end of 2014.

The funds will also be used to complete the Company‘s new dairy and mixes plant facilitylocated in Taguig City. The completion of building will cost ₱52 million. Various equipmentsuch as mixing tanks, homogenizer, quality assurance and laboratory equipment will cost ₱80million. The completion of this new facility is expected to further increase dairy productionfrom 5,500 cases per day to 11,000 cases per day.

The third major capital expenditure project would be the enhancement of the Company‘s ITsystem. The Company plans to invest in (i) a demand planning software to improve theCompany‘s demand planning and forecasting and supply replenishment ca pabilities and (ii)cloud hosting, disaster recovery and application management services to save on hardwareinvestments and maintenance expenses, ensure business continuity, and enhance IT datasecurity. These IT projects would enable the Company‘s management to focus on furthergrowing the business.

The rest of the Company‘s capital expenditures consist of various equipment replacementsand maintenance projects needed by the Company‘s business units to sustain their respective

plant capacities, efficiencies in manufacturing operations, and product quality standards.Examples of these projects are coal-fired boiler equipment overhaul, steamer equipmentoverhaul, fishmeal building and warehouse repair, and fishmeal decanter equipmentreplacement, labeling and packaging equipment replacement, and replacement of sludge

pump for waste water treatment, among others.

Payments of Financial Obligations

During 2013, the Company‘s principal sources of liquidity were internally generated cash

from operations and short – term bank loans. Requirements funded by short-term bank loanswere for purchases of raw materials and inventory, working capital requirements, includingaccount receivables.

The Company intends to use majority of the net proceeds to settle short-term financialobligations with Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company, Bank of the Philippine Islands, BDOUnibank, Inc., ANZ Bank, and Security Bank Corporation. These borrowings consist ofvarious revolving bank promissory notes with maturity dates varying from 60 to 90 days withinterest rate of approximately 2.5% to 3.5% per annum which were incurred primarily to fundgrowth in accounts receivable-trade given expanding sales revenues.

None of the proceeds shall be used to reimburse any officer, director, employee or

shareholder for services rendered, assets previously transferred, or money loaned oradvanced.

The proposed use of proceeds described above represents a best estimate of the use of the net proceeds of the Offer based on the Company‘s current plans and expenditures. The actualamount and timing of disbursement of the net proceeds from the Offer for the uses statedabove will depend on various factors which include, among others, changing marketconditions or new information regarding the cost or feasi bility of the Company‘s expansion

plans. The Company‘s cost estimates may change as it develops its plans, and actual costsmay be different from its budgeted costs, including due to changes in the exchange rate

between the Philippine Peso and the U.S. dollar. To the extent that the net proceeds from theOffer are not immediately applied to the above purposes, the Company will invest the net

proceeds in interest-bearing short-term demand deposits and/or money market instruments,



and/or repay existing debt. Aside from underwriting and selling fees, the Joint LeadUnderwriters will not receive any of the net proceeds from the Offer.

Based on the Offer Price of ₱14.50 per Offer Share, the total proceeds from the Offer, theestimated total expenses for the Offer and the estimated net proceeds from the Offer will be:

Allocation to the Trading Participants of the PSE and Local Small Investor Program

Pursuant to the rules of the PSE, the Company will make available 45,930,800 Offer Shares

comprising 20% of the Offer for distribution to PSE Trading Participants. The total number of

Offer Shares allocated to the 135 PSE Trading Participants will be distributed following the procedures indicated in the implementing guidelines for the Offer Shares to be distributed by

the PSE. Each PSE Trading Participant will be allocated a total of 340,200 Offer Shares. The

balance of 3,800 Offer Shares will be allocated by the PSE to the PSE Trading Participants.

PSE Trading Participants who take up the Offer Shares shall be entitled to a selling fee of 1%

of the Offer Shares taken up and purchased by the relevant trading participant. The selling

fee, less a withholding tax of 10%, will be paid to the PSE Trading Participants within ten

(10) banking days after the Listing Date.

The PSE Trading Participants may be allowed to subscribe for their dealer accounts provided

that, if they opt to sell the Offer Shares to the clients during the Offer period, it must be at a

price not higher than the Offer Price per share. Likewise, the trading participants are prohibited from selling the Offer Shares during the period after the Offer period and prior to

DILUTION

The Company will offer 229,654,404 Offer Shares to the public at the Offer Price, which will

be substantially higher than the adjusted book value per share of the outstanding Common

Shares, which will result in an immediate material dilution of the new investors‘ equity

interest in the Company. The net book value attri butable to the Company‘s Common Shares,

based on the Company‘s pro forma financial statements as of December 31, 2013 was

₱2,838.7 million. After giving effect to the issuance of 500,000,000 new common shares to

CCC as disclosed in Note 31, starting on page 39 of the pro forma consolidated financial

statements, the pro forma net book value pre-Offer will be ₱3,338.7 million,1 while the net

book value per Common Share will be ₱1.67. The net book value attributable to the

Company‘s Common Shares represents the amount of the Company‘s total equity attributable

to equity holders of the Company. The Company‘s net book value per Common Share is

computed by dividing the pro forma net book value attributable to the Company‘s Common

Shares by the 2,000,000,000 pre-Offer issued and outstanding shares.2

Dilution in pro forma book value per share to investors of the Offer Shares represents the

difference between the Offer Price and the pro forma book value per share immediately

following the completion of the Offer.

After taking into account the issuance of 500,000,000 new common shares and the sale of

229,654,404 Offer Shares at the Offer Price of up to ₱14.50 per Offer Share and after

deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of

the Offer payable by the Company, the Company‘s pro forma book value after the Offer

would approximate ₱6,390.2 million, or ₱2.87 per Common Share. This represents an

immediate increase in net book value of ₱1.20 per Common Share to existing shareholders,

and an immediate dilution of ₱11.63 per Common Share to investors of the Offer Shares atthe Offer Price of ₱14.50.

The following table illustrates dilution on a per share basis based on an Offer of 229,654,404

Offer Shares at an Offer Price of up to ₱14.50 per Offer Share:

of an Offer of 229,654,404 Offer Shares:

Notes:

(1) The pro forma net book value is derived from the sum of the net book value of the

Company as of December 31, 2013 and the effect of the issuance of 500,000,000 new

common shares to CCC at a par value of ₱1.00 per share.

(2) Total number of issued and outstanding common shares used to compute per share

values (pre-Offer) is 2,000,000,000, at a par value of ₱1.00 per share, composed of

1,500,000,000 issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2013 and the

issuance of 500,000,000 new common shares to CCC as disclosed in Note 31,

starting on page 40 of the pro forma consolidated financial statements.

(3) Pro forma net book value per share takes into account the number of issued and

outstanding shares pre-Offer on account of the issuance of 500,000,000 new common

shares to CCC.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CNPF’s results of operations are affected by a variety of factors. Set out below is a discussion

of the most significant fact ors that have affected CNPF’s results in the past and which CNPF

expects to affect its financial results in the future. Factors other than those set out below

could also have a significant impact on CNPF’s results of operations and financial condition

in t he future. See ―Risk Factors‖.

Raw Materials Costs and Product Prices

CNPF depends on raw materials, including certain critical raw materials such as tuna, meat,tin cans and powdered milk, most of which are procured from third parties from both withinand outside the Philippines. These materials are subject to price volatility caused by a number

of factors, including changes in global supply and demand, foreign exchange rate fluctuations,weather conditions and government regulations and controls. In addition, CNPF‘s ability toobtain raw materials is affected by a number of factors beyond its control, including naturaldisasters, governmental laws and policies, and interruptions in production by suppliers.

Changes in the prices of raw materials will necessarily affect CNPF‘s cost of sales and mayaffect the pricing of CNPF‘s products. Changes in prices may also affect consumer demand,as CNPF‘s consumers are generally price sensitive. While CNPF believes it has been able tosuccessfully pass on price increases historically to its customers, there is no assurance thatany future increases in cost of sales can be fully passed on to consumers. As a result, anymaterial increase in the market price of raw materials could have a material adverse effect onCNPF‘s operating margins, which may affect its financial position and operating

performance.

Economic, Social and Political Conditions in the Philippines

While CNPF has operations outside the Philippines, all of CNPF‘s assets as of December 31,2013 were located in the Philippines, and approximately 69% of its revenues for the yearended December 31, 2013, were derived from its operations in the Philippines. As a result,CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are substantiall yinfluenced by economic and political conditions in the Philippines. Although the Philippineeconomy has experienced stable growth in recent years, the Philippine economy has in the

past experienced periods of slow or negative growth, high inflation, significant devaluation ofthe Peso, and has been significantly affected by economic volatilities in the Asia-Pacific

region. Also, in the past, there have been periods of political instability in the Philippines,including impeachment proceedings against two former presidents and the chief justice of theSupreme Court of the Philippines, and public and military protests arising from allegedmisconduct by previous administrations. Sales of most of CNPF‘s products are directlyrelated to the strength of the Philippine economy (including overall growth levels and interestrates) and tend to decline during economic downturns. Any deterioration in the Philippineeconomy, including a significant deterioration in the value of the Peso, may adversely affectconsumer sentiment and lead to a reduction in demand for CNPF‘s products.

Competition

CNPF faces competition in the Philippines as well as in the other countries in which itdistributes its products. It competes with a number of multi-national, national, regional andlocal competitors. Although certain of CNPF‘s products have significant market shares in the



Philippines and in many cases are market leaders in their respective product categories, CNPFexpects to face increasing competition as it continues to grow its business. Competitivefactors generally affecting CNPF‘s businesses include price, product quality, brand awarenessand customer loyalty, distribution coverage, customer service and the ability to effectivelyrespond to shifting consumer tastes and preferences. For a more detailed discussion oncompetition, please see ― Business‖ beginning on page 127 of this Prospectus, and ― Industry‖

beginning on page 158 of this Prospectus

Seasonality

CNPF‘s sales are affected by seasonality in customer purchase patterns. In the Philippines,

most food products, including those produced by CNPF, experience increased sales during the

Christmas season. As a result, seasonality could affect CNPF‘s financial cond ition and results

of operations from one quarter to another, particularly in relation to the fourth quarter of each

year.

Introduction of New Products and Marketing Initiatives

CNPF believes that many consumer food products are impulse and discretionary purchases,which are particularly sensitive to competitive pressures. A key element in maintaining itsmarket share in the highly competitive Philippine food market has been for CNPF tocontinuously introduce new products and product extensions.

In addition to introducing new products, CNPF has undertaken marketing initiatives usingorganized advertising campaigns to differentiate its products and further expand market share.CNPF devotes significant expenditures to support advertising and branding, including fundingfor advertising campaigns, such as television commercials and radio and print advertisements.CNPF‘s advertising and promotion costs accounted for a significant proportion of total

revenue, comprising 3% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The development and introduction of new products and the use of marketing initiatives can

substantially increase CNPF‘s operating costs. Although CNPF believes that these higher

costs are justified by increased sales from new and existing products, there is typically a delay

between the incurrence of these costs and any such sales. Furthermore, CNPF cannot be

assured of when, if ever, these expenditures will result in increased revenues.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are those that are both (i) relevant to the presentation of CNPF’s

financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require management’s most difficult,

subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the

effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions

affecting the possible future resolution of the uncertainties increase, those judgments become

even more subjective and complex.

For information on CNPF‘s significant accounting policies and significant accounting

judgments and estimates, see Note 6, starting on Page 9 of the audited financial statements of

CNPF as parent included elsewhere in this Prospectus.



DESCRIPTION OF KEY LINE ITEMS

Sale of Goods

CNPF, GTC and SMDC derive their net sales from sale of goods to their customers less value

added tax (―VAT‖) and sales returns and allowances. GTC customers consist of importer -

brand owners, food producers and retailers, traders and agents in the international tuna

market. CNPF and SMDC customers include largely customer accounts serving the modern

trade, general trade and food service channels of the domestic market. In addition, CNPF and

SMDC have customers that serve the export market.

Cost of goods sold

CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods available

for sale (i.e. inventory at the beginning of the year plus additional stocks from production and

purchases during the year) less inventory at the end of the year. The cost elements comprising

cost of goods sold include raw materials and packaging materials cost plus conversion costs.Conversion costs consist of direct labor cost, utilities expense, and manufacturing overhead

expense.

Operating Expenses (Income)

CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating expenses comprise primarily of salaries and wages

and other staff costs, advertising and promotions cost, freight and distribution expenses, other

selling and market expenses, depreciation, repairs and maintenance expenses, and other

administrative expenses.

Other I ncome (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and other financing charges,

investment income, foreign exchange gain (loss), inventory loss, and other miscellaneous

income and expenses.

I ncome Tax Expense

Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.

Tr ade Receivables

Trade receivables are recorded at fair value plus transaction less provisions for impairmentloss, and are primarily from sales with an average credit term of 30 to 45 days. Impairment

loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect

from specific customers certain amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company‘s principal liquidity requirements are for purchases of raw materials and

inventory, working capital requirements, and capital expenditures for plant maintenance and

production efficiency.

The Company‘s principal sources of liquidity are from internally generated cash from

operations and short-term bank loans. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company

had, on a pro forma consolidated basis, total cur rent assets of ₱7,026 million, of which cash

and cash equivalents accounted for 11% or ₱804 million. This was against the Company‘s

total current liabilities of ₱5,305 million, 48% of which (or ₱2,535 million) were non -interest

bearing trade payables.

The Company expects a growth in its working capital due to increased sales and market shareexpansion. Moving forward, the Company expects to fund these requirements from itsoperating cash flows, borrowings and proceeds of the Offer. The Company intends to use a

portion of the proceeds from the Offer to partially pay off short-term debt financingarrangements and to support working capital requirements. See ―Use of Proceeds‖ beginningon page 55 of this Prospectus.

The Company may also, from time to time, seek other sources of funding, which may include

debt or equity financing, depending on its financing needs and market conditions. In the

course of conducting its business, the Company has, and will continue, to incur short-term 60-

90 days revolving credit lines from several banking institutions at an average interest rate of

2.5% to 3.5% per annum. CNPF expects that its principal uses of cash for fiscal year 2014

will be for payment of financial obligations, capital expenditures to increase production

capacity and cost efficiency, working capital and/or potential acquisitions.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS

CNPF is exposed to various types of market risks in the ordinary course of business,

including foreign exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

Commodity Price Risk

CNPF‘s commodity price risk exposure primarily results from the use of commodities as raw

materials in its production processes. In particular, the supply and prices of fish are subject to

seasonality and there is limited fish-catching activity from November to March of the

following year. To reduce its exposure to increased fish prices during this time, CNPF

typically builds up sufficient inventories of finished products by October of each year to

minimize the need to purchase fish at increased prices. CNPF currently does not have a

commodity price hedging policy.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

CNPF‘s foreign exchange rate risk arises primarily from the fluctuations in exchange rate that

arise between the Philippine Peso and the U.S. dollar. The substantial majority of CNPF‘s

revenues are denominated in Pesos, while certain of its expenses, particularly its raw material

costs, are denominated in U.S. dollars or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars. In

addition, CNPF is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its export of private label tuna

and its branded products. To hedge its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, CNPF enters

into a forward contract for each export order to secure the expected profit at time of delivery.

See ― Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s Business – CNPF is exposed to foreign

exchange risk ‖, ― Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Philippines – Volatility in the value of

the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies could adversely affect CNPF’s

business‖ and ― Exchange Rates‖.

Credit Risk

CNPF‘s exposure to credit risk relates primarily to its trade and other receivables. Generally,

CNPF‘s maximum credit exposure in the event of customers‘ and counterparties‘ failure to

perform their obligations is the total carrying amount of the financial asset as shown on the

statement of financial position. To minimize its credit risk, CNPF evaluates customer credit,

receivables and payment habits for all major customers on a quarterly basis.

Liquidity Risk

CNPF is exposed to the possibility that adverse changes in the business environment or its

operations could result in substantially higher working capital requirements and consequently,

a difficulty in financing additional working capital. CNPF manages its liquidity risk by

monitoring its cash position and maintaining credit lines from financial institutions that

exceed projected financing requirements for working capital.




AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMBINED FINANCIAL

INFORMATION FOR GTC AND SMDC

The following discussion of the combined GTC and SMDC’s recent financial results should be read in

conjunction with the auditors’ reports, the selected combined financial information for GTC and

SMDC, and the corresponding notes thereto, contained in this Prospectus and the section entitled

―Selected Combined Financial Information for GTC and SMDC‖.

The combined financial information of GTC and SMDC as of and for the years ended December 31,

2011, 2012 and 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements of GTC and SMDC prepared

in accordance with PFRS and audited by Punongbayan & Araullo.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects the current views of GTC and SMDC

with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those



OVERVIEW

GTC and SMDC are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF. GTC is engaged in themanufacture and export of private label canned, pouched and frozen tuna products for exportsto markets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. SMDC is in the dairy and mixes

business, and produces and markets liquid milk products, powdered milk products, coffee mixand sinigang mix largely for the domestic market.

GTC was incorporated in 1997, and currently operates a 360-metric ton capacity state-of-the-art tuna processing facility in General Santos City. GTC is the Philippines‘ largest exporter of

processed tuna products with 34% share of total Philippines tuna exports, based on thePhilippine Bureau of Customs data for full year 2013. With operational strategy targetedtoward product competitiveness and international standards and building strong customerrelationships, GTC has increasingly grown its exports for products like canned tuna, pouchedtuna and vacuum-packed frozen loin products. These tuna products, which are made fromchoice premium quality skipjack and yellow fin fish materials, are offered by GTC in variousretail and institutional pack styles with the tuna material processed into flakes, chunks or solidform using either oil or brine as packing medium. GTC has supply arrangements with leadingglobal manufacturers including Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee Foods LLC, Subway, Princes,Hagoromo, Hoko, Califor nia Garden and Rio Mare. GTC‘s tuna processing facility conformsto global standards for food production through its accreditations with the International FoodStandard, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, British Retail Consortium, European Unionand Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

SMDC has been in the dairy business since 2001, and through the years, has continuallyexpanded its product portfolio using the Angel and Birch Tree brands in product segmentssuch as evaporated milk, condensed milk, full cream milk powder and all-purpose cream. In2008, SMDC diversified into the coffee mix line through the Kaffe de Oro brand and sinigangflavoring mixes line through the Home Pride brand. Sustained brand equity, productinnovation, value for money pricing, marketing niching strategy, and distribution investmentshave made the SMDC brands own the third largest milk market share in the domestic marketamidst the traditional approach of its competitors. SMDC operates a newly-built canned milkand cream processing plant with an installed capacity of 11,000 cases per day in Taguig,

Metro Manila.



For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the respective contributions of GTCand SMDC to the combined total revenue and net income are as follows:

Note: GTC’s Statement of Income expressed in US Dollar is translated to Peso using BSP’s average USD to Peso

exchange rate for the period.


GTC’s and SMDC’s combined results of operations are affected by a variety of factors. Set

out below is a discussion of the most significant factors that have affected GTC’s and

SMDC’s combined results in the past and which GTC and SMDC expect to affect its

combined financial results in the future. Factors other than those set out below could also

have a significant impact on GTC and SMDC’s combined results of operations and financial

condition in the future. See ―Risk Factors‖.


GTC uses skipjack and yellow fin tuna as main raw materials for production. These fishmaterials, which are procured from both local and foreign fish catcher suppliers operating inthe Western Pacific Ocean, are processed into finished products using customized packingmedium ingredient materials such as soya oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, brine and sauces.Packaging materials include tin cans, pouches, frozen loin PE nylon shrinkable vacuum bags,and cartons.

SMDC‘s principal production materials are instant full cream milk powder, skimmed milk

powder, buttermilk powder, non-dairy creamer, vegetable oil, sugar and tin cans. Milk



materials are sourced mostly through direct importation from Europe, the United States,Australia and New Zealand.

As experienced by GTC and SMDC, these materials are subject to price volatility caused by anumber of factors, including changes in global supply and demand, foreign exchange ratefluctuations, weather conditions and government regulations and controls. In addition, GTC‘sand SMDC‘s ability to obtain raw materials is affected by a number of factors beyond theircontrol, including natural disasters, governmental laws and policies, and interruptions in

production by suppliers.

Changes in the prices of raw materials have necessarily affected GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost ofsales and management‘s decision in the pricing of GTC and SMDC products. Change s in

prices have also affected consumer demand, as both GTC and SMDC consumers andcustomers are generally price sensitive. For the last three years, 2011 to 2013, GTC andSMDC have been able to successfully pass on some or all cost increases to their customersvia selling price increases, particularly in product segments where GTC and SMDC have

relatively strong market positions. However, GTC and SMDC believe there is no assurancethat any future increases in cost of sales can always be fully passed on to consumers. As aresult, any material increase in the market price of raw materials could have a materialadverse effect on GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating margins and sales volumes, which mayaffect overall financial position and operating performance.

Competition

GTC faces competition from tuna exporters not only from the Philippines but also from othertuna exporting countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Ecuador, Spain and Seychelles. Giventhe commodity-like nature of tuna products, selling prices and raw material tuna fish costgenerally move in similar patterns. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, tuna fish prices have continually

risen due to declining catches, and, as a result, canned tuna prices have moved on an upwardtrend as well, adversely causing a slowdown in consumer demand in major tuna importingcountries. In an increasingly competitive tuna export market, an important element inmaintaining export market share for GTC has been GTC‘s ability to sustain its strong imageof reliability and consistency in supplying to its customers premium quality tuna products atcompetitive prices and building a long lasting customer relationship.

SMDC competes with a number of multi-national, national, regional and local competitors inthe Philippine market. In terms of market share, SMDC is in a market challenger positionagainst two large multinational dairy companies. The competitive factors generally affectingSMDC‘s business include price, product quality and innovation, brand awareness andcustomer loyalty, distribution coverage and customer service. A major factor to sustain

business growth for SMDC in 2011, 2012 and 2013 was SMDC‘s ability to spot and tapmarket opportunities amidst changing consumer tastes and preferences. Through a marketingniching strategy, SMDC has continued the market development of its Kremdensada product,which is a first-in-the-market 2-in-1 cream product launched in 2010. The 2-in-1 cream

product is a product that combines the goodness of all-purpose cream and condensed milk inone can and offers its consumers savings in cost, high quality taste and convenience in

preparation.

Seasonality

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s sales are affected by seasonality in customer purchase patterns. In the

Philippines, most food products, including those produced by SMDC, experience increased

sales during the Christmas season and summer months as consumers use the milk products for

creaming beverages, desserts, cooking and baking applications. In European export tuna



markets, the highest consumption period is the summer months while in North America, tuna

sales are year-round. As a result, seasonality could affect GTC and SMDC‘s net sales and

operating results and cause them to continue to vary from quarter to quarter during the

operating year.


GTC and SMDC believe that many consumer food products are impulse and discretionary

purchases, and therefore particularly sensitive to competitive pressures. A key element in

maintaining their market share in the highly competitive markets in which they operate has

been for GTC and SMDC to continuously introduce new products and product extensions.

In years 2011 to 2103, the rising cost of tuna fish material caused canned tuna prices to rise in

a similar pattern, affecting export market demand and creating greater competitive pressures

among tuna exporters. In response to changing market conditions, GTC shifted a portion of its

manufacturing capability into frozen loin production to enter the tuna loin market where there

was growing demand for frozen tuna loins among tuna canneries operating in high-labor costcountries.

SMDC introduced new products like the KremQueso 370 ml product in 2012, Angel All

Purpose Creamer 370 ml, and Angel Evaporated Liquid Creamer 145 ml in 2013 as part of

its continuing strategy to satisfy consumer needs and preferences, increase product

differentiation, and maximize market shares and plant capacity utilization.


substantially increase not just the revenue but also operating costs. SMDC believes that these

higher costs are justified by increased sales from new and existing products, although there is

typically a delay between the incurrence of these costs and any such sales; and that it cannot be assured of when, if ever, these expenditures will result in increased revenues.


GTC‘s and SMDC‗s business, financial condition, results of operations and pros pects are

substantially influenced by economic and political conditions in the Philippines. Sales of most

of GTC and SMDC products are directly related to the strength of the Philippine economy

(including overall growth levels, foreign exchange rates, fuel oil prices, and interest rates) and

tend to decline during economic downturns. Any deterioration in the Philippine economy,

including a significant appreciation in the value of the Peso relative to the U.S. dollar

overseas Filipino worker remittances, may adversely affect consumer sentiment and lead to a

reduction in demand for SMDC products. A significant devaluation or appreciation of thePeso similarly affects the export demand for GTC products.


Critical accounting policies are those that are both (i) relevant to the presentation of GTC

and SMDC’s combined financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require

management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to

make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of

variables and assumptions affecting the possible future resolution of the uncertainties

increase, those judgments become even more subjective and complex.



For information on GTC and SMDC‘s significant accounting policies and significant

accounting judgments and estimates, see Notes 4 & 5 of the combined audited financial

statements of GTC and SMDC included elsewhere in this Prospectus.


Sale of Goods

Each of GTC and SMDC derives its net sales from sale of goods to its customers less VAT

and sales returns and allowances. GTC customers consist of importer-brand owners, food

producers and retailers, traders and agents. SMDC customers include modern trade accounts

such as supermarkets, groceries, and convenience stores; general trade accounts such as

company distributors and large wholesalers distributing to sari-sari store and wet market

stores; food service accounts such as hotels, restaurants, caterers, bakeshops, and food

commissaries; and export accounts such as direct importers and exporter-distributors, and

exporter consolidators.

Cost of goods sold

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods available for sale

(i.e. inventory at the beginning of the year plus additional stocks from production and


cost of goods sold include raw materials and packaging materials cost plus conversion costs

consisting of direct labor cost, utilities expense, and manufacturing overhead expense.

Operating Expenses (Income)

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating expenses comprise primarily of salaries and wages and other

staff costs, advertising and promotions cost, freight and other selling expenses, depreciation,repairs and maintenance expenses, foreign currency losses related to conversion of

transactional to functional currency, and other administrative expenses.


Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and other financing charges,

investment income, foreign exchange gain (loss), and other miscellaneous income and

expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year ended December 31, 2013 compared to year ended December 31, 2012

Sale of Goods

GTC and SMDC registered a combined net sale of goods of ₱7,419 million for the year ended

December 31, 2013, an increase of 34% from the ₱5,524 million recorded for the year ended

December 31, 2012. The principal reasons for this increase were as follows:

GTC’s Tuna Export



Net sales in tuna export business were ₱5,863 million in fiscal year 2013, representing a 54%

increase from the ₱3,804 million recorded in fiscal year 2012. This increase in net sales

primarily reflected the effect of higher volumes and higher selling prices in fiscal year 2013,

arising from strong export shipments for tuna products to Europe and parts of Asia. The Peso

depreciation against the U.S. dollar likewise boosted export competitiveness and Peso selling prices during the year.

SMDC’s Dairy and Mixes

Net sales in the dairy and mixes business were ₱1,5 million in fiscal year 2013, which

represented a 9.5% decrease from the ₱1,720 million net sales recorded in fiscal year 2012.

This decrease is due to lower sales volume. Fiscal year 2012 had higher than average sales

performance due to export orders from Thailand, whose market supply for evaporated milk

products was operationally disrupted by the flood calamity that hit Bangkok, Thailand. In

2013, this export sales opportunity ended as the Thai milk market supply returned to normal

conditions. Another key factor slowing down sales in 2013 was the short term transitional

effect of changes made in CNPF‘s sales distributor program. CNPF‘s distributor programcalled for a correction of the distributors‘ excessive trade inventory levels via improvements

in warehouse stock management, and required the distributors to re-channel freed up working

capital resources for use instead in expanding and deepening distribution activities.

Cost of goods sold

GTC and SMDC‘s combined cost of goods sold increased by 39% to ₱6,845 million for the

year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱4,932 million for the year ended December 31, 2012,

primarily due to higher volume and higher costs of raw materials used.

GTC’s Tuna Export

The cost of goods sold for the tuna export business amounted to ₱5,561.1 million for fiscal

year 2013, which represented a 60% increase from cost of goods sold of ₱3,512 million for

fiscal year 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold principally reflected the higher share of

fish cost to total production cost from 63% in 2012 to 76% in 2013. Share of total materials

cost to total product cost was 84% in 2013 versus 77% in 2012 .


The cost of goods sold for the dairy and mixes business amounted to ₱1,222 million for the

year ended December 31, 2013, which represented a 14% decrease from cost of goods sold of

₱1,420 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold primarily reflected the impact of lower purchase prices for key raw materials namely – milk

powder, ingredients and packaging materials. Reduction in variable overhead cost cushioned

cost inflation of raw materials. Share of total materials cost to total product cost was 91.8% in

2013 versus 91.2% in 2012.

Gross prof it

As a result of the foregoing, the combined GTC and SMDC gross profit decreased by 3% to

₱574 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱592 million for the year ended

December 31, 2012. Of this gross profit for fiscal year 2013, GTC contributed ₱ 301.6 million

while SMDC contributed ₱325.5 million versus ₱291 million and ₱301 million, respectively,

in fiscal year 2012.



Operating expenses (income)

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined operating expenses decreased by 1% to ₱424 million for the

year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱429 million f or the year ended December 31, 2012.

The principal reasons for the decrease are as follows:

GTC’s Tuna Export

GTC‘s operating expenses decreased by 5% to ₱148 million for the year ended December 31,

2013 from ₱155 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 largely due to effects of

higher sales volume on freight expenses and selling expenses, which was offset by higher

administrative expenses specifically foreign currency losses in translating transactional to

functional currency, and higher taxes and licenses arising largely from the sale of land

property to Century Canning Corporation.


SMDC‘s operating expenses increased by 0.4% to ₱275 million for the year ended December

31, 2013 from ₱274 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The subtle increase was

primarily due to lower advertising and promotion expense and lower forwarding and

warehousing expense which were partially offset by increase in trade marketing expenses and

increase in taxes and licenses and management fees relating to the share issuances to Century

Canning Corporation.


GTC and SMDC had a com bined net other income of ₱73 million in 2013 in its Other Income

(Expense) account. This includes ₱51 million interest cost, ₱21 million other revenues from

the rental of GTC‘s plant facility to Century Canning Corporation, ₱91 million foreign

currency gains and ₱9 million of miscellaneous income offset by bank charges and loss on

sale of assets. In 2012, the combined Other Income and expense registered a net other

expense of ₱7 million. This includes ₱55 million interest cost, other revenues also from plant

rental amounting ₱21 million, other revenues from charging of share in storage rental of ₱25

million, ₱15.4 million foreign currency transactional gain and a net other miscellaneous

expense of ₱2 million.

Tax Expense

The combined income tax expense for GTC and SMDC decreased by 2% to ₱43.6 million for

the year ended December 31, 2013, from ₱44.4 million for the year ended December 31,2012, as a result of higher reported operating income from both business segments. GTC‘s

provision for income tax expense for 2013 given an operating income of ₱118 million was

₱28 million, which was lower than 2012‘s income tax expense of ₱37 million. The lower

income tax expense in 2013 was due to the higher share of frozen loin products to GTC‘s total

income which was covered by the income tax holiday incentives granted by the Board of

Investments for frozen loin exports sales. SMDC‘s provision for income tax in 2013 was ₱15

million, higher than 2012 income tax expense of ₱7 million, due to higher reported operating

income.

Net Profi t

As a result of the foregoing, SMDC‘s and GTC‘s combined net profit after tax increased by61% to ₱179 million the year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱111 million for the year ended



December 31, 2012. Of this 2013 combined net income after tax, GTC contributed ₱138

million while SMDC shared ₱42 million. This compared with 2012 net income after of ₱92

million for GTC and ₱19 million for SMDC.

Year ended December 31, 2012 compared to year ended December 31, 2011

Sale of Goods

GTC and SMDC registered a combined net sale of goods of ₱5,524 million for fiscal year

2012, an increase of ₱774 million, or 16%, from the ₱4,750 million net sales recorded in

fiscal year 2011. Of this increase in net sales, GTC accounted for ₱333 million while SMDC

accounted for ₱441 million. The principal reasons for this increase in net sales for GTC and

SMDC were as follows:

GTC’s Tuna Export

Net sales in tuna export business were ₱3,804 million in fiscal year 2012, representing anincrease of 10% from the ₱3,471 million recorded in fiscal year 2011. This increase in net

sales reflected the higher sales volumes and higher selling prices of tuna products exported.

Fiscal year 2012 marked GTC‘s move to shift portions of its production capacities toward the

higher value, higher margin products. A further boost to GTC‘s 2012 net sales was fishmeal

product, which increased its net sales to ₱254 million from ₱121 million in 2011 largely due

to improved fishmeal production output.


Net sales in dairy and mixes business were ₱1,720 million in fiscal year 2012, an increase of

₱441 million, or 34%, over fiscal year 2011. Two contributing factors to sales growth in 2012

over 2011 were the (1) increased domestic sales of SMDC‘s newly-launched 2-in-1 creamer products and evaporated liquid creamer products and (2) export of evaporated milk products

to the Thai market which experienced supply disruptions for the product due to the huge flood

calamity that hit the city of Bangkok.

Cost of goods sold

The combined cost of goods sold for GTC and SMDC totaled ₱4,932 million in fiscal year

2012, or an increase of ₱612 million, or 14%, over the ₱4,320 million recorded in 2011. The

principal reasons for this increase were as follows:

GTC’s Tuna Export

GTC‘s cost of goods sold totaled ₱3,512 million in fiscal year 2012, representing a 9%

increase from the ₱3,232 million recorded in fiscal year 2011. Higher sales volume and high

unit production cost per case were key factors to the increase in cost of goods sold. High fish

cost, ingredients materials cost and direct labor cost associated with frozen tuna loin

production were key factors to higher unit cost of sales in 2012.


SMDC‘s cost of goods sold amounted ₱1,420 million in fiscal year 2012, or 30%, increase

from the ₱1,088 million recorded in fiscal year 2011. This increase reflected the cost of sales

effect of higher sales volume as well as the lower product cost in 2012 attributable to lower purchase prices for milk powder materials.



Gross prof it

As a result of the foregoing, the combined gross profit for GTC and SMDC was ₱592 million

for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of ₱162 million, or 38%, from ₱430

million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Of this gross profit for fiscal year 2012, GTC

contributed ₱291 million while SMDC contributed ₱301 million.

Operating expenses

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined operating expenses increased by ₱143 million, or 50%, to

₱429 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from the ₱286 million recorded for the

year ended December 31, 2011. Of this increase, GTC accounted for ₱49 million while

SMDC contributed ₱94 million. The principal reasons for these increases in operating

expenses of GTC and SMDC are as follows:

GTC‘s operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 totaled ₱155 million, a 46% increase from the

₱106 million recorded for fiscal year 2011. The increase in GTC‘s operating expenses isattributed to a ₱10 million decrease in selling expenses which was fully offset by the foreign

currency loss (from transactional to functional) of ₱42 million

SMDC‘s operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 totaled ₱274 million, a ₱94 million, or 52%,

increase from the ₱180 million recorded for fiscal year 2011. The increase in SMDC‘s

operating expenses is largely due to a ₱46 million increase in spending on a dvertising and

promotions and trade marketing activities in order to boost sales revenues and consumer

brand awareness. Contributing as well to higher operating expenses is an increase of ₱34

million on freight and delivery expenses as a result of servicing higher volume of customer

orders. Fixed administrative expenses in 2012 increased by ₱2 million as compared to 2011.

Other Expense (Income)

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined net other expense was ₱7 million in 2012 consisting of ₱34

million interest cost, ₱4 million of bank charges, ₱15 million of foreign currency loss, and

₱46 million other revenues from the rental of a portion of GTC‘s plant facility to Century

Canning Corporation. In 2011, GTC and SMDC had a combined net other expense of ₱42

million, the composition of which was ₱26 million interest cost, ₱37 million foreign currency

loss, ₱7 million bank charges, ₱2 million other financing charges, ₱18 million of rental

revenues and ₱ 12 million of miscellaneous income.

Tax Expense

Income tax in 2012 was ₱44 million, an increase of ₱9 million from ₱35 million in 2011. Of

total income tax expense in 2012, GTC accounted for ₱37 million or an increase of ₱5 million

from ₱32 million in 2011. SDMC on the other hand accounted for ₱7 million of total income

tax expense in 2012, or ₱3 million higher than 2011.

Net Profi t

As a result of the factors discussed above, the combined net profit after tax for GTC and

SMDC was ₱111 million in 2012, which was ₱45 million higher than 2011. Of this combined

net profit after tax in 2012, GTC contributed ₱92 million, or an increase of ₱34 million from

2011, while SMDC shared ₱19 million, or an increase of ₱11 million from 2011.




For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s principal

sources of liquidity were internally generated funds from operations and bank loans which

were sufficient to meet requirements for working capital and additions to property, plant and

equipment. As at December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, GTC and SMDC reported combined

cash and cash equivalents of ₱115.9 million, ₱127.7 million and ₱413.7 million, respectively.

Collectively, GTC and SMDC expect that their principal uses of cash for fiscal year 2014 will

be ₱1,671.0 million for payment of short term loans, ₱176.0 million for capital expenditures,

and ₱423.8 million to improve working capital position. Their source of cash will primarily

be operating cash flows and proceeds of the Offer. GTC and SMDC may also from time to

time seek other sources of funding, which may include debt or equity financing, depending on

their financing needs and market conditions.

The following table sets forth selected information from the combined financial informationfor GTC and SMDC, particularly, the statements of cash flows for the periods indicated:

2012 and 2013 were ₱109.6 million, ₱73.3 million, and ₱272.9 million, respectively. The

table below sets forth the components of the combined capital expenditures of GTC and

SMDC in 2011, 2012, and 2013, together with their budgeted capital expenditures for 2014.

The discussion involves forward-looking statements. See " Forward-Looking Statements"

beginning on page vi. Additional factors that could cause the Company‘s actual results,

performance or achievements to differ materially from forward-looking statements include,

GTC accounted the majority of the aforementioned capital expenditures. During the fiscalyears 2011, 2012 and 2013, where its capital expenditures totaled ₱109.6 million, ₱76.6

million, and ₱121.1 million, respectively, GTC upgraded its manufacturing plant in General

Santos City, investing in frozen loin production equipment, steam boiler machinery, and

labelling-casing equipment, to expand and diversify output capacity to meet growing demand

volumes. GTC also invested in a tin can manufacturing plant, also in General Santos City, to

vertically integrate its production requirements for 307 tin cans and lower its tin can cost.

SMDC‘s capital expenditure in 2013 amounted to ₱151.8 million, mainly for its relocation

and expansion of its milk and mixes plant facility in Taguig City, Metro Manila.

GTC and SMDC have historically sourced funding for capital expenditures through internally

generated cash from operations.

GTC and SMDC have budgeted ₱43.3 million and ₱132.7 million, respectively, or a

combined total of ₱176.0 million, for capital expenditures for 2014. The planned capital

expenditures for 2014 are essentially a part of the continuing strategic programs to optimize

cost and capacities. GTC and SMDC expect to fund their budgeted capital expenditures

principally through a portion of the proceeds of the Offer.

The figures in GTC‘s and SMDC‘s capital expenditure plans are based on management‘s

estimates and have not been appraised by an independent organization. In addition, GTC and

SMDC‘s capital expenditure plans are subject to a number of variables depending on the

overall macro-economic and business conditions, identification of potential new projects andacquisitions, and management‘s view of GTC and SMDC‘s liquidity, financial condition and

results of operations. There can be no assurance that GTC and SMDC will execute their

capital expenditures program as planned.

GTC and SMDC are exposed to certain types of market risks in the ordinary course of

business, including commodity price risk, foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit

risk and liquidity risk.


GTC‘s and SMDC‘s commodity price risk exposure primarily results from the us e of

commodities such as fish and milk as raw materials in their production processes. In

particular, the supply and prices of fish and milk are subject to seasonality changes due to

weather and climate changes, global supply and demand, fishing and environmental

regulatory controls. To reduce commodity price risk, GTC and SMDC typically build up

sufficient inventories of finished products and raw materials to minimize the pressure to

purchase the raw material at increased prices or to avoid market supply disruptions.

Whenever management deems justifiable, GTC and SMDC enter into short term forward

supply arrangements with suppliers to lock in purchase price and supply.


GTC‘s and SMDC‘s foreign exchange rate risk arises primarily f rom the fluctuations in

exchange rate that arise between the Peso and the U.S. dollar. A substantial majority of

GTC‘s revenues are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars given the export nature of GTC‘s

business. SMDC on the other hand focuses mainly on the domestic market and, as such,

SMDC revenues are mainly Peso denominated. Certain expenses of GTC and SMDC are

denominated in U.S. dollars, or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars. GTC and SMDC

maintain and prepare their accounting records and financial statements in Pesos, although for

statutory reporting purposes, GTC‘s financial statements are converted to U.S. dollars. To

mitigate the impact of foreign exchange risk, GTC tries to match its U.S. dollar revenue

inflows with its U.S. dollar expense outflows when possible and appropriate. GTC enters intoa forward contract for each export order to secure the expected profit at time of delivery.

SMDC on the other hand enters into forward contracts for its forward importation purchases



when management deems appropriate. See ― Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s

Business – CNPF is exposed to foreign exchange risk ‖, ― Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the

Philippines – Volatility in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies

could adversely affect CNPF’s business‖ and ― Exchange Rates‖.

Credit Risk

GTC‘s and SMDC‘s exposure to credit risk primarily relates to their trade and other

receivables. Generally, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s maximum credit exposure in the event of

customers‘ and counterparties‘ failure to perform their obligations is the total carrying amount

of the financial asset as shown on the statement of financial position. To minimize their credit

risk, credit exposures to customers are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Customer receivables

and payment habits for all customers are monitored and evaluated to ensure customer

creditworthiness is maintained at all times and the credit limits set is appropriate to the

expected business volumes to be generated. To the huge distributor-customers, bank

guarantees are required for the credit amounts to be extended.

Liquidity Risk

GTC and SMDC are exposed to the possibility that adverse changes in the business

environment or their operations could result in substantially higher working capital

requirements and consequently, a difficulty in financing additional working capital. GTC and

SMDC manage their liquidity risk by monitoring and forecasting their cash position and

maintaining credit lines from financial institutions that exceed projected financing

requirements for working capital.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

INFORMATION OF CNPF

The following discussion of CNPF’s recent consolidated financial results should be read in

conjunction with the auditors’ reports, selected consolidated financial information of CNPF,

and the corresponding notes thereto, contained in this Prospectus and the section entitled

―Selected Consolidated Financial Information of CNPF‖.

The selected parent financial information of the Company as of and for the period from

October 25 to December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements of the

Company prepared in accordance with PFRS and audited by Navarro Amper & Co.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects the current views of CNPF

with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially

from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such

as those set forth in the section entitled ―Risk Factors‖ and elsewhere in this Prospectus.

OVERVIEW

CNPF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation. It was incorporated on

October 25, 2013 and organized to own and operate the canned and processed fish, canned

meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export businesses of the Century Group.

On October 31, 2013, CNPF acquired from CCC all rights, title and interest of CCC in GTC

and SMDC. At the same time, CNPF likewise purchased the property, plant and equipment

assets of the canned tuna business of CCC, canned sardines business of CSC, and canned

meat business of PMCI with the purpose of eventually assuming the said business operations

of CCC, CSC and PMCI. On January 1, 2014, CNPF acquired the inventories of CCC andCSC and canned meat business of PMCI, absorbed the organizational workforce and business

operating systems of CCC, CSC and PMCI, and hereon assumed the operations of the

businesses.

CNPF traces its historical track record of business performance from the Century Group. It

looks back to 1978 when Ricardo S. Po established CCC to venture into the canned tuna

export business, and in the subsequent years, continued to expand and diversify into other

businesses. CCC then entered the canned sardine business in 1983, the domestic canned tuna

business in 1987, the canned meat business under PMCI in 1994, and the dairy and mixes

business under SMDC in 2001. Amidst these growth initiatives, CCC saw the benefits of

strategic business unit focus. Hence, CCC spun off its canned sardine business into a separate business entity, CSC, in 1994 and similarly, its canned tuna export business into GTC in

1997.

CNPF prides itself with these businesses whose performances are highlighted by strong multi-

brand and multi-product portfolio, dominant market shares and loyal consumer following,

strong trade distribution infrastructure, and stably growing and profitable operations.

For the period ended October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013, as CNPF transitioned with its

general corporate re-structuring transaction, CNPF‘s revenue and net income performance,

representing the consolidated results of operations for its subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC,

including CNPF operations as stand-alone parent company, is as follows:



For the Period October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013

GTC 1,044.2 73% 11.5 1,045%

SMDC 377.4 27% 2.5 227%

Total 1,421.6 100% -1.1 -100%

N ote: GTC’s Statement of Income expressed in US Dollar is translated to Peso using BSP’s

average USD to Peso exchange rate for the period.


CNPF’s consolidated results of operations are affected by a variety of factors. Set out below

is a discussion of the most significant factors that have affected CNPF’s consolidated results

in the past and which CNPF expects to affect its consolidated financial results in the future.

Factors other than those set out below could also have a significant impact on CNPF’s

consolidated results of operations and financial condition in the future. S ee ―Risk Factors‖.


CNPF relies on supply of critical raw materials such as tuna, milk, and tin cans, most ofwhich are procured from third parties from both within and outside the Philippines. As

experienced, these materials are subject to price volatility caused by a number of factors,including changes in global supply and demand, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, weatherconditions and government regulations and controls. In addition, CNPF‘s ability to obtain rawmaterials is affected by a number of factors beyond its control, including natural disasters,governmental laws and policies, and interruptions in production by suppliers.Changes in the prices of raw materials will necessarily affect CNPF‘s cost of sale s and mayaffect the pricing of CNPF‘s products. Changes in prices may also affect consumer demand,as CNPF‘s consumers are generally price sensitive. While CNPF believes it has been able tosuccessfully pass on price increases historically to its customers, there is no assurance thatany future increases in cost of sales can be fully passed on to consumers. As a result, anymaterial increase in the market price of raw materials could have a material adverse effect onCNPF‘s operating margins, which may aff ect its financial position and operating

performance.


While CNPF has operations outside the Philippines with 79% of its revenues derived fromexports operations for the two month period ending December 31, 2013 , all of CNPF‘s assetsare located in the Philippines. As a result, CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects are substantially influenced by Philippine macro-economic and

political conditions. Although the Philippine economy has experienced stable growth inrecent years, the Philippine economy has in the past experienced periods of slow or negativegrowth, high inflation, significant devaluation of the Peso, and has been significantly affected

by economic volatilities in the Asia-Pacific region. Sales of most of CNPF‘s products aredirectly related to the strength of the Philippine economy (including overall growth levels,



foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates) and tend to decline or rise duringeconomic downturns. For example, any significant deterioration in the value of the Peso may

benefit export sales for CNPF‘s tuna products as Peso deterioration effectively lowersCNPF‘s export prices in comparison to competitors from other countries. On the other hand,however, the Peso deterioration may adversely affect the dairy and mixes business as the costof its products‘ imported milk raw material increases with the deterioration of the Peso valueand creates undue pressure on selling prices and margins.

Competition

CNPF faces competition in the Philippines as well as in the other countries in which itdistributes its products. It competes with a number of multi-national, national, regional andlocal competitors. Although certain of CNPF‘s products have significant market shares in thePhilippines and in many cases are market leaders in their respective product categories, CNPFexpects to face increasing competition as it continues to grow its business. Competitive

factors generally affecting CNPF‘s businesses include price, product quality, brand awarenessand customer loyalty, distribution coverage, customer service and the ability to effectivelyrespond to shifting consumer tastes and preferences. For a more detailed discussion oncompetition, please see ― Business‖ beginning on page 127 of this Prospectus, and ― Industry‖

beginning on page 158 of this Prospectus.

Seasonality

CNPF‘s sales are affected by seasonality in customer purchase patterns. In the Philippines,

most food products, including those produced by CNPF, experience increased sales during the

Christmas season. As a result, seasonality could affect CNPF‘s financial condition and results

of operations from one quarter to another, particularly in relation to the fourth quarter of each

year.


CNPF believes that many consumer food products are impulse and discretionary purchases,which are particularly sensitive to competitive pressures. A key element in maintaining itsmarket share in the highly competitive Philippine food market has been for CNPF tocontinuously introduce new products and product extensions.

In addition to introducing new products, CNPF has undertaken marketing initiatives usingorganized advertising campaigns to differentiate its products and further expand market share.CNPF devotes significant expenditures to support advertising and branding, including funding

for advertising campaigns, such as television commercials and radio and print advertisements.CNPF‘s subsidiary, SMDC, spent 6% of its total revenue for advertising and promotion costsfor the year ended December 31, 2013.


substantially increase CNPF‘s operating costs. Although CNPF believes that these higher

costs are justified by increased sales from new and existing products, there is typically a delay

between the incurrence of these costs and any such sales. Furthermore, CNPF cannot be

assured of when, if ever, these expenditures will result in increased revenues.


Critical accounting policies are those that are both (i) relevant to the presentation of CNPF’s

financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require management’s most difficult,



subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the

effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions

affecting the possible future resolution of the uncertainties increase, those judgments become

even more subjective and complex.

For information on CNPF‘s significant accounting policies and significant accounting

judgments and estimates, see Note 6 starting on Page 21 of the consolidated audited financial

statements of included elsewhere in this Prospectus.


Sale of Goods

CNPF‘s subsidiary, SMDC, derives its sales from the sale of dairy and mixes products to

domestic customers while GTC derives its sales from exports of canned tuna, pouch tuna and

some frozen loins products to international markets. Such sales of SMDC and GTC are net ofvalue added tax (―VAT‖) and sales returns and allowances.

Cost of goods sold

CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods available

for sale (i.e. inventory at the beginning of the year plus additional stocks from production and


cost of goods sold include raw materials and packaging materials cost plus conversion costs.

Conversion costs consist of direct labour cost, utilities expense, and manufacturing overhead

expense.

Operating Expenses

CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating expenses comprise primarily of salaries and wages

selling and market expenses, depreciation, repairs and maintenance expenses, and other

administrative expenses.


Other income (expense) would comprise rental income, interest income, foreign currency

gains (loss), inventory loss, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. Specifically on

rental income, CNPF derived rental revenues from the lease back of property, plant and

equipment to where CNPF acquired the said assets from, that is, its parent CCC and fellow

subsidiaries PMCI and CSC. This lease back arrangement is specifically only for the duration

of the corporate re-structuring period, October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Other income

and expenses are income and expenses generated outside the normal course of business.

F inance Costs

CNPF‘s f inance costs consist of interest expense, bank charges and other financing related

I ncome Tax Expense




Tr ade Receivables

Trade receivables are recorded at fair value plus transaction less provisions for impairment

loss, and are primarily from sales with an average credit term of 30 to 45 days. Impairment

loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect

from specific customers certain amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of thereceivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined based on evaluation of

available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of the Company‘s

relationship with the customers, the customer s‘ current credit status based on known market

forces, average age of the accounts, collection experience and historical loss perspective.

I nventories

Inventories comprise primarily of raw materials, work-in-process goods and finished goods.These are booked at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using thefirst-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in process include the cost of rawmaterials, direct labour and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal

operating capacity. Raw material costs include all costs attributable to acquisition such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable fromtaxing authorities. Inventories are derecognized when sold or otherwise disposed of.

Tr ade Payable

Trade payables comprise of obligations to suppliers incurred in the ordinary course of business. These are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized costduring the period when the goods or services are received or rendered.

Cash from (used in) financing activities 1,422.5 Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash 437.9



equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent beginning of year 0.0

Cash and cash equivalent end of year 437.9

Cash from financing activities largely came from the issuance of share capital amounting

₱1,500 million. Cash was used primarily to acquire the shares of stocks of GTC and SMDC

from CCC valued at ₱1,194.6 million and to purchase as well the property, plant and

equipment assets of the canned tuna business of CCC, canned sardine business of CSC and

canned meat business of PMCI worth ₱230.1 million for the purpose of assuming the

loss plus effect of accrual accounting) and ₱17.7 million of cash freed up from the reduction

in net working capital. Cash freed up from decreases in inventory, trade receivables, other

current assets and non-current assets totaled ₱798.8 million but this was partially offset by a₱781.1 million decrease in trade payables, related party payables and foreign exchange

effects. Other operating uses of cash were contributions to retirement fund and income tax

paid totalling ₱24.3 million.

Investing activities included largely the use of cash of ₱344.9 million for acquisition of

property, plant and equipment, partially offset by ₱79.7 million of proceeds from the sale of

land by GTC to CCC.

million remaining portion of a five year term loan under GTC which will mature on February

27, 2014. The breakdown of the loan by business segment is GTC at ₱1,999.6 million andSMDC at ₱215.0 million.

Trade and other non-trade payables are generally on a 30 to 90 days term and bear no interest

charges. Due to related parties payables are basically inter-company advances and

transactions considered part of the normal course of business and settled within the year.

CNPF, GTC and SMDC have a combined total available credit lines of least ₱6,000 million.

These credit lines can be drawn for working capital and capital expenditure needs.

Subsequent events after December 31, 2013 included the acquisition by CNPF of the

inventories of the canned tuna operations of CCC, canned meat business of PMCI and cannedsardine business of CSC on January 1, 2014. Further on February 6, 2014, CNPF received

additional subscription from CCC for 500,000,000 shares at ₱1 per share or ₱500 million.

Said subscription was paid on the same date and the shares were issued on February 8, 2014.

CNPF believes that its existing cash and credit lines, together with cash generated from

operations and the proceeds of the Offer, will be sufficient to finance its working capital and

capital expenditure needs for 2014.


As of December 31, 2013, CNPF did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

CNPF is exposed to various types of market risks in the ordinary course of business,

including foreign exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.


CNPF‘s commodity price risk exposure primarily results from the use of commodities as raw

materials in its production processes. In particular, the supply and prices of fish are subject to

seasonality and there is limited fish-catching activity from November to March of the

following year. To reduce its exposure to increased fish prices during this time, CNPF

typically builds up sufficient inventories of finished products by October of each year to

minimize the need to purchase fish at increased prices. CNPF currently does not have a

commodity price hedging policy.


CNPF‘s foreign exchange rate risk arises primarily from the fluctuations in exchange rate thatarise between the Philippine Peso and the U.S. dollar. The substantial majority of CNPF‘s

revenues are denominated in Pesos, while certain of its expenses, particularly its raw material

costs, are denominated in U.S. dollars or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars. In

addition, CNPF is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its export of private label tuna

and its branded products. To hedge its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, CNPF enters

into a forward contract for each export order to secure the expected profit at time of delivery.

See ― Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s Business – CNPF is exposed to foreign

exchange risk ‖, ― Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Philippines – Volatility in the value of

the Peso against the U.S. d ollar and other currencies could adversely affect CNPF’s

business‖ and ― Exchange Rates‖.



Credit Risk

CNPF‘s exposure to credit risk relates primarily to its trade and other receivables. Generally,

CNPF‘s maximum credit exposure in the event of customers‘ and counterparties‘ failure to

perform their obligations is the total carrying amount of the financial asset as shown on the

statement of financial position. To minimize its credit risk, CNPF ensure it transacts only with

creditworthy customers. CNPF continuously monitors and evaluates customer credit,

receivables and payment habits for all major customers to mitigate credit risk..

Liquidity Risk

CNPF is exposed to the possibility that adverse changes in the business environment or its

operations could result in substantially higher working capital requirements and consequently,

a difficulty in financing additional working capital. CNPF manages its liquidity risk by

monitoring its cash position and maintaining credit lines from financial institutions that

exceed projected financing requirements for working capital.

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE

CNPF was incorporated on October 25, 2013 to own and operate the canned and processed

fish, canned meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export businesses of the Century Group. The

history of these businesses and CNPF‘s recent corporate restructuring is described below.



Corporate History

Richard S. Po, the founder of the Century Group, started a canned tuna export business

through the establishment of CCC in 1978. By 1983, CCC had become the leading canned

tuna exporter in the Philippines. That same year, the Century Group entered the canned

sardine business with the launch of 555 Sardines. In 1986, the Century Group launched

Century Tuna, developing the canned tuna market in the Philippines. The Century Group then

entered the canned meat industry with the launch of Argentina Corned Beef in 1995 and

Argentina Beef Loaf in 1996. The Century Group continued to expand its product offerings

with the acquisition of Blue Bay in 2001. The Century Group entered the milk business with

the launch of Angel in 2002 and the acquisition of Birch Tree in 2003. The Century Group has

continued to diversify its product and brand portfolio, with the acquisition of the Home Pride

and Kaffe de Oro brands in 2008, launch of Angel coffee creamer in 2009, launch of Angel

Kremdensada and Wow in 2010 and the acquisition of the Swift brand and related assets in

2012.

pouched and frozen tuna products for export, were retained as separate corporate entities as



wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF.As a result, the pro forma financial statements of CNPF


On October 31, 2013, CNPF acquired all of the outstanding shares of GTC and SMDC, as

well as certain fixed assets of CCC, PMCI and CSC. All applicable taxes relating to the

transfer of assets and shares of GTC and SMDC have been paid and the Company is currently

awaiting BIR issuance of the Certificate Authorizing Registration for the purchase of the

shares. A number of additional transactions are being undertaken as part of the restructuring

plan, including the following:

CNPF entered into separate agreements with each of CCC, PMCI and CSC to effect

the transfer of employees associated with the business segments being restructured.

Pursuant to such agreements, CNPF assumed the obligations of CCC, PMCI and CSC

with respect to retirement and other benefits which have accrued to the employees

based on their seniority or years of service. The employees were transferred to CNPF

with effect from January 1, 2014.

CNPF entered into an inventory purchase agreement pursuant to which CNPF

acquired the inventories of CCC, PMCI and CSC as at December 31, 2013.

Certain permits and licenses, which have been granted by the Philippine FDA

(formerly the Bureau of Food and Drug) to CCC, PMCI and CSC and which are

relevant to the business segments being restructured, are being transferred or assigned

to CNPF in accordance with Philippine FDA regulations.

Certain material contracts, including contracts for the supply of raw materials, are

being assigned or novated by CCC, PMCI or CSC, as applicable, to CNPF. For

suppliers who do not have formal supply contracts with CCC, PMCI or CSC, a notice

was sent informing all such suppliers that with effect from January 1, 2014, CNPF

will take over the operation of the various business segments being restructured.

CNPF entered into licensing agreements with certain companies owned and

controlled by the Po family for the use of certain trademarks and brand names which

are currently licensed to CCC, PMCI and CSC. See ― Intellectual Property‖ below for

further details.

As of the date of this Prospectus, apart from securing issuance of some of the above permits

and licenses, all material transactions relative to the corporate reorganizing have been

completed.

As a result of the foregoing corporate restructuring, CNPF now has two subsidiaries; namely,

SMDC and GTC. SMDC was incorporated on February 14, 2001 to engage in the business of

manufacture, sale and distribution of all kinds of milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetable

juices and other milk or dairy preparations, among others. On the other hand, GTC was

incorporated on March 10, 1997 to engage in the business of trading, manufacturing,

preserving, processing, canning, packing, importing and exporting all kinds of food and food

products, including fish, seafood, and other marine products. SMDC and GTC are each

currently capitalized at ₱500,000,000.

As a newly incorporated company, CNPF will also be relying on the track record of its wholly

owned subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC. In this respect, both GTC and SMDC, satisfy the

requirements of the PSE Revised Listing Rules i.e., that such subsidiary (i) must have a

cumulative consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization



(EBITDA), excluding non-recurring items, of at least ₱50 million for three full fiscal years

immediately preceding the application for listing, (ii) a minimum EBITDA of ₱10 million for

each of the three fiscal years, and (iii) must further be engaged in materially the same

businesses and must have a proven track record of management throughout the last three

years prior to the filing of the application. With SMDC‘s EBITDA of approximately ₱26million, ₱38 million and ₱38 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively and GTC‘s

EBITDA of approximately ₱268 million, ₱299 million and ₱355 million for 2011, 2012 and

2013, respectively, CNPF‘s subsidiaries are in full compliance with the financial

requirements. Moreover, GTC and SMDC have been in existence since 1997 and 2001

respectively and have had a proven track record of management since then. The PSE Revised

Listing Rules prohibit CNPF from divesting its shareholdings in GTC and SMDC for a period

of three years from the date the Offer Shares are listed on the PSE; provided that the

prohibition shall not apply if the divestment is approved by a majority of CNPF‘s

shareholders.

The corporate reorganization has brought about operational and administrative efficiencies,

such as reduction in administrative overhead and headcount reduction.

CNPF and its subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC, have not been subject to: (i) any bankruptcy,

receivership or similar proceedings or (ii) ay material reclassification, merger, consolidation

or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets.

The following chart provides an overview of the relevant business segments of the Century

Group prior to the completion of corporate restructuring:



The chart below provides an overview of CNPF‘s corporate structure including its major

operating subsidiaries as at December 31, 2013, after the corporate restructuring:

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

CNPF believes its principal competitive strengths comprise the following:

Established market leadership positions with iconic, well-recognized and trusted brands

The Company is the largest producer of canned foods in the Philippines in terms of retail

value according to Euromonitor data for February 2013. In addition, the Company‘s brands

have established market-leading positions within each of their respective segments. For

example, based on data from AC Nielsen, in 2012, the Company was the market leader in the

Philippines in domestic canned tuna, with a market share of 87% by sales. In addition, based

on AC Nielsen data as of August 2013, the Company was the market leader in corned beefwith a market share of 42.5% by sales and the market leader in meat loaf with a market share

of 25.6% by sales.

Several of the Company‘s brands have a long heritage and are well-recognized and trusted

brands in the Philippines. The Company believes that customers associate its brands with

health and quality. Such brands include Century Tuna which was launched in 1986, Argentina

Corned Beef which was launched in 1995 and Angel which was launched in 2002. The

Company has also grown its brand portfolio through brand acquisitions, including the

acquisition of Blue Bay in 2001, Birch Tree in 2003, Kaffe de Oro and Home Pride in 2008

and Swift in 2012. As a result of the heritage and strength of the Company‘s brands as well as

their high standards of quality, the Company has won a number of industry, consumer and

marketing awards including the Agora Awards‘ Marketing Company of the Year Award for



Century Canning Corporation (2011) and the Trusted Brand Award by Reader‘s Digest for

Century Tuna (2011, 2012 and 2013) and Argentina Corned Beef (2012 and 2013).

The Company continues to enhance brand recognition among consumers by consistently

maintaining high product quality, as well as through active and targeted marketing and

promotional campaigns such as using well-recognized celebrities to endorse its products. The

Company believes that its well-recognized brands have allowed it to develop strong customer

loyalty resulting in repeat purchases that provide it with greater pricing power relative to its

competitors.

Furthermore, the Company believes that the established reputations and market-leading

positions of its brands provide a strong platform to maintain and grow its market shares

through new products, product line extensions and expansion of its distribution networks.

Multi-category, multi-brand product portfolio catering to different customer tastes and

price points

The Company has a diverse product portfolio with multiple product lines across fish, meats

and dairy. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a portfolio comprising 128 SKUs for

tuna products, 101 SKUs for canned meat products, 25 SKUs for sardine products and 29

SKUs for dairy and mixes products. The Company produces numerous product variants to

cater to different customer tastes. For example, the Company produces chicken, pork and

tuna-based vienna sausages to capture the full range of consumer preferences for this product.

In addition, the Company packages its products in different sizes to target different customer

price points. This diverse product portfolio allows it to capture a larger share of the

consumers' wallets and provides broader avenues for future growth, both within and across its

key product categories. In addition, this also reduces its dependence on any single product

category or brand, and makes the Company more resilient to changes in the competitive

landscape or price fluctuations in raw material that may impact one product category more

than another.

In addition, leveraging on the Company's strong reputation and recognition for product

quality, the Company has also developed a multi-brand strategy within each product segment

that allows it to broaden its reach to customers more easily than its competitors. Within each

of its product segments, the Company offers a wide portfolio of brands and products to meet a

diverse range of consumer tastes, preferences and price points allowing for a comprehensive

coverage of the Filipino consumer market. For example, in the canned tuna segment, the

Century Tuna brand targets the up-market canned tuna consumer whereas the 555 Tuna brand

is aimed at the budget or cost-conscious canned tuna consumer. This allows the Company to

broaden its customer base and capture the benefits from growth in disposable income from alarger proportion of the population. In addition, this segmentation allows the Company to

target consumers in different regions with different demographics with the right brand, as

well as react quickly and opportunistically to changes in consumer preferences and to act

defensively against any action by competitors.

The Company‘s diverse product portfolio also provides marketing and product synergies

across segments. For example, product recipes and formulations achieved through internal

research and development are shared across product segments. In addition, international best

practices implemented in the tuna export segment are shared across the Company‘s various

production lines, improving production processes and enhancing product quality.



Strong track record of product innovation and successful introduction of new products

Product innovation and development has been an important element in the Company‘s

business strategy and has been crucial to the Company‘s success. The Company has

demonstrated strong innovative capabilities as shown by its consistent track record of

launching new products to address changing consumer needs and preferences. For example,

the Company differentiates its products from plain canned tuna/meat by developing new

flavors and dishes that are designed and packaged as ready-to-eat meals. In particular, the

Company‘s ready-to-eat dishes use tuna as the main ingredient in traditionally beef, pork and

chicken- based dishes such as kaldereta, adobo and afritada to increase consumers‘ acceptance

of the product while providing consumers with a healthier alternative. In the dairy segment,

the Company has successfully introduced two-in-one products such as Angel Kremdensada (a

combination of all-purpose cream and condensed milk) and Angel KremQueso (a combination

of all-purpose cream and cheese) to provide convenient and cost-effective options for

consumers. In addition to innovative products, the Company has noticed a shift in preference

from canned products to flexible packaging or products sealed in pouches. In response, the

Company has started to produce pouched tuna products.

Furthermore, the Company has a strong ability to bring its products to market using

innovative marketing strategies. The Company‘s marketing campaigns are jointly d eveloped

between its highly experienced in-house marketing team and independent creative agencies.

The Company employs the use of celebrity endorsements in its marketing strategies to link

each product to the intended branding message. Over the years the Company has launched

numerous successful marketing campaigns, including a focused marketing campaign for

Argentina Corned Beef , which became the leading brand in its segment. The Company views

its ability to market its products as a critical success factor and invests heavily in advertising

and endorsements. The Company‘s ability to develop new products and successfully bring

them to market allows the Company to further segment each product category and tailor it toconsumers‘ tastes and preferences, preventing product commoditization.

Extensive market penetration through multi-channel distribution network

The Company operates and manages one of the most extensive distribution networks across

the Philippines, with its products available in every major city, creating a significant

competitive advantage. The Company has developed strong relationships directly with

retailers, including modern and general trade stores, as well as through third-party

distributors. Approximately 58% of the Company‘s distribution is through modern trade and

approximately 42% is through general trade. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s

modern trade coverage holds 200 direct accounts and 3,772 outlets, comprising national retail

chains with outlets across the Philippines, such as Robinsons Supermarkets, SMSupermarkets, Metro department stores, Puregold and 7-Eleven, as well as regional retailers.

The Company‘s general trade coverage has grown significantly from approximately 70,000

outlets in 2010 to approximately 225,168 outlets including sari-sari stores, wet markets,

wholesalers and regional supermarkets in 2013. The Company operates 14 distribution

centers, allowing the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer demand.

In addition, the Company employs its own sales and distribution force consisting of

approximately 159 personnel, including sales administration and support functions, starting

from January 1, 2014 upon completion of the corporate restructuring. The Company believes

that employing a majority of its sales force in-house has resulted in a relatively higher level of

motivation and incentivization among its employees that has contributed to the strong growth

in the sales of the Company‘s products. This arrangement also enables the Company to work

closely with its customers and develop strong relationships with them. The Company



continually seeks ways to expand the reach of its distribution network, especially in the

Mindanao and Visayas regions. The Company believes that its multi-channel distribution

network and its strong relationships with customers has allowed it to maximize customer

reach and has been one of the key factors to its success in building and developing its market-

leading positions.

CNPF‘s extensive distribution network is supported by its strategically located production

facilities. The Company‘s tuna processing facility is located in General Santos, Mindanao,

which is the heart of the Philippine tuna industry as it is geographically adjacent to two large

tuna fishing grounds, the Western Pacific Ocean and the waters between Southern Philippines

and Indonesia. In addition, one of the Company‘s sardine processing facilities, with an

installed capacity of 200 MT per day as of December 31, 2013, is located in Zamboanga,

which is the center of the Philippine sardine industry. The proximity to the source of supply

ensures the availability of fresh fish, a critical element in maintaining a high quality product

and lowering the Company‘s logistics costs. The Company‘s meat processing plant and milk

and mixes plant, located in Laguna and Taguig, respectively, are also strategically located

close to major markets, which reduces the cost of transporting products to customers.

Highly scalable export business that supplies processed tuna to leading international

companies and distributes branded products to high growth markets

The Company‘s export business, comprising private label processed tuna as well as branded

products, is complementary to its domestic business as it helps increase scale and reduce

costs, increasing the Company‘s competitiveness. An additional benefit of the scalability of

the export business is that it allows the export business to focus on quality and achieve higher

margins.

The Company has developed a reputation in the international food manufacturing community

as a reliable and trusted partner. It has supplied some of the largest food manufacturers

globally, including Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee Foods LLC, Subway, Princes, Rio Mare,

Hagoromo, Hoko and California Garden. The Company is constantly looking to enter into

additional agreements with potential partners. The Company believes that supplying leading

global food manufacturers in some of the most stringently regulated markets in the world

represents an endorsement of the quality of the Company‘s products.

The Company‘s export business operates an efficient and competitive business model with

growing revenue and profitability due to penetration of new markets and signing of new co-

partners. The Company currently supplies to brands and retailers in five continents and covers

major markets including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and the Middle East,

broken down as follows:

2013 2012 2011

% of total exports

North America 7% 12% 38%

Europe 44% 16% 16%

Asia and Australia 49% 67% 40%

Middle East 0% 5% 6%



The Company was the leading Philippine exporter of canned tuna and frozen tuna loin

products for the year ended December 31, 2013, with a market share of 34% according to data

from the Philippine Bureau of Customs.

The Company also distributes its branded products internationally, particularly to China and

Vietnam, through its affiliates. Century International (China) Company Limited and Century

Shanghai Trading Company, joint ventures between the Company and Thai Union

Manufacturing Company, Ltd., as well as Century Pacific Vietnam Company, a wholly

owned subsidiary of CCC, have headquarters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Vietnam,

respectively. These offices distribute the Company‘s branded products to major cities in the

region. The Company‘s products are carried by retailers such as Carrefour, Walmart, Tesco

Hymall, Metro and Auchan, among others. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s private

label and branded products are distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and

the Middle East.

Experienced and dedicated management team

The Company is led by an experienced and dedicated management team with a proven track

record of success. Members of the senior management team have an average of over 25 years

of industry experience, including experience working in large, multinational corporations in

the food industry. The management team is well accustomed to the Philippine operating

environment and has effectively managed the Company both in times of strong economic

growth as well as through periods of economic downturn and political instability. The

strength and depth of the experience of the Company‘s management team have been

demonstrated by their successful implementation of a range of efficiency programs and

product innovations, which has resulted in continued profitability and market leadership for

the Company over the years. In addition, management team has a proven track record of

turning previously under-promoted and neglected brands, such as Birch Tree and Blue Bay,

into successful brands by applying the Company‘s strategies, such as proper branding and

national distribution coverage.

The Company believes that the members of its management team are highly regarded in the

industry, and they hold a variety of leadership positions in food industry organizations, such

as the Sardine Association of the Philippines, the Philippine Association of Meat Processors

Inc., the Tuna Canners‘ Association of the Philippines. The management team‘s industry

leadership positions also create a valuable local business network for the Company.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

The Company seeks to strengthen its leading market position in the Philippines and expand its business operations by implementing the following business strategies:

Actively develop and manage product and brand portfolios to target different price

points and respond to emerging market trends

The Company has a history of driving growth through new and innovative products,

capitalizing on emerging market trends and introducing extensions of successful product

lines. The Company will continue growing its existing product categories and deliver

innovative products under trusted brands and the Company is committed to developing and

expanding its product categories to meet evolving consumer tastes and preferences. In

addition, the Company will continue to market different brands to target different consumer

price points. For example, the Company believes that there are growth opportunities in the



canned meat market and plans to target the premium segment through the development of the

Swift brand.

The Company also intends to continuously review its product offerings to rationalize

unprofitable products from its portfolio. To enhance the stability of its revenue stream and

profit margins, the Company plans to increase the percentage of sales of products that have

performed well and which the Company believes will continue to do so. For example, as

Philippine consumers have become more health conscious, the Company‘s marketing strategy

has evolved to highlight the health benefits of Century Tuna and to present the Company‘s

ready-to-eat tuna viands as healthier alternatives to traditional beef, pork and chicken-based

dishes. The Company has also noticed a shift in consumer preference from canned products to

products in sealed pouches or flexible packaging. The Company has pre-empted this shift in

preference and has developed the capability to produce pouched products. The Company

intends to increase its product offerings in pouched or flexible packaging, which the

Company believes will develop new product segments and further penetrate the ready-to-eat

meal segment.

In addition, the Company is ranked second in the Philippine condensed/evaporated milk

market and third in the Philippine all-purpose cream segment, according to AC Nielsen. The

Company views the dairy market as a strong growth opportunity and has developed various

initiatives to grow its dairy business. For example, the Company has responded to changing

consumer preferences and plans to develop ready-to-drink products. The Company also plans

to continue aggressively promoting the Angel and Birch Tree brands through marketing

campaigns within the next two years. In particular, the Company plans to grow the Angel

brand through improved formulations, smaller packaging sizes for more budget-conscious

consumers and achieving a market leading position in the two-in-one product platform for

canned milk and cream. For the Birch Tree brand, the Company intends to expand into adult

and children‘s milk segments through powdered milk, flavored milk drinks and other productformats.

Expand distribution network to capitalize on growing retail segments and target

customers in high growth segments

The Company plans to capitalize on rapidly growing retail segments such as 24-hour

convenience trade and modern trade channels, and to expand its distribution network,

targeting to reach 250,000 directly served points of sale in 2014. In particular, the Company

plans to expand its distribution network in the Philippines by increasing the number of retail

outlets that its regional sales force services directly. At the same time, the Company is

working with its distributors to increase its penetration of general trade outlets, particularly in

more remote areas such as Mindanao and the Visayas. In addition, there are regions in thePhilippines such as Central Visayas where the Company is not the market leader due the

incumbency of regional market leaders. However, the Company believes that with sustained

presence through a well-developed distribution network in those regions, the Company will

be able to gain market share in those areas. The Company believes that the Philippine market

is still underserved in certain product categories and there are growth opportunities to

improve its distribution network. The Company plans to penetrate these underserved areas by

reaching out to a greater number of smaller informal retailers such as sari-sari stores and wet

markets.

Another area the Company has identified as a growth avenue is the food service segment.

While sales to food service customers, such as, but not limited to, Jollibee, KFC, Starbucks

and 7-Eleven, contributed less than 3% of the Company‘s total revenue for the year ended

December 31, 2013, the Company believes there are significant opportunities to work closely



with customers and expand existing relationships, as well as establish relationships with a

wider range of customers in this segment. The Company understands the needs of its food

service customers and proactively suggests new products or recipes suited for such

customers‘ business. As its food service customers continue to expand their business, the

Company intends to further collaborate with such customers and increase its sales in thissegment.

Enter into new product categories

In addition to growing and developing its existing product and brand portfolio, the Company

plans to enter into new product categories. The Company believes its competitive strengths

and deep understanding of the Philippine market provide significant advantages when

entering into new product categories. In 2014, the Company plans to start marketing and

distributing beverage products, such as coconut water, by leveraging on the Company‘s

extensive distribution network and experienced sales and marketing personnel. The

Company‘s marketing strategy will highlight the health benefits of these beverage products in

line with the Company‘s health and wellness theme, thus enabling the Company to penetratenew product categories.

The Company also entered into a distribution agreement with Kapal Api of Indonesia on

November 16, 2012 to distribute Kapal Api‘s coffee products in the Philippines. Kapal Api is

an Indonesian company engaged in, among others, the operation of a coffee plantation, the

production of non-dairy creamer, the production of espresso machines, and the distribution of

coffee and coffee products.

Optimize export business to further penetrate the private label export market and

increase presence of branded products in overseas markets

As the current leading tuna exporter in the Philippines, the Company is well positioned to

increase its market share in the export business. The Company intends to increase the number

of partners for its private label export business in order to gain greater scale and better

capitalize on economies of scale. The Company believes this should further improve profit

margins of its export business.

The Company currently distributes its branded products across North America, Europe, Asia,

Australia, and the Middle East. The Company has noticed increasing brand awareness among

Filipino communities around the world and similar demands from Latino communities. While

overseas Filipino communities were the initial target customer base for its branded exports,

the Company has seen growing demand for its products in mainstream markets as the

Company continues to build the presence of its branded products in overseas markets. TheCompany intends to capitalize on this trend and has started to sell its branded products to

Walmart, Albertsons and Kroger in the US, as well as negotiate with other retailers to have its

products sold in Asian food sections of their stores. The Company plans to enter into

distribution agreements with several other large retailers in North America in the near future

and likely within the next 12 months.

Opportunistic acquisition and development of strong regional brands

The Company has a proven track record of turning previously under-promoted and neglected

brands into market leading brands by applying its strategies, such as proper marketing and

extensive national distribution coverage. For example, Birch Tree was a strong brand in the

Philippines in the 1970s but lost significant market share as it did not receive marketingsup port for many years prior to the Company‘s acquisition of the brand in 2003. After



acquiring the brand, the Company initially relied on its distribution network to increase the

penetration of Birch Tree products in modern and general trade outlets. The Company then

supported the brand through a strategic marketing campaign. Through the Company‘s efforts,

the Birch Tree brand was able to grow to 22.0% market share in the full cream milk powder

segment as of July 2011, according to AC Nielsen. The Company will continue to seizeacquisition opportunities and acquire brands opportunistically to penetrate new market

segments. Examples include the Century Group‘s recent acquisition of Swift from RFM

Corporation in 2012 which allowed the Century Group to compete in the premium canned

meats segment, and the Century Group‘s acquisition of the Home Pride and Kaffe De Oro

brands in 2008.

Cost improvements through backward integration, streamline logistics and cost-

engineering

The Company is focused on increasing the efficiency of its existing operations and

implementing targeted cost-saving initiatives in its businesses. In particular, the Company

intends to implement cost improvements through backward integration. The Companysources the majority of its requirements from third-party suppliers. However, the Company

will be building a second tin can manufacturing facility which, upon completion by the end of

2014, is expected to produce approximately 25% to 30% of the Company‘s tin can

requirements. By producing a significant portion of its tin cans requirements internally, the

Company will be able to improve its profit margins by sourcing tin cans at cost and reducing

logistics costs associated with purchasing from third-party suppliers.

In addition, the Company‘s research and development team is an integral part of the

continued effort to identify cost improvements while maintaining high product quality

standards. For example, the Company‘s research and development team has been able to

increase the use of alternative raw materials, such as soy-based proteins, to lower production

costs for certain products. The Company estimates that research and development costs

accounts for less than 1% of its revenues.

The Company is also able to leverage its economies of scale to further rationalize its

production and distribution costs. Realizing savings through cost reduction initiatives will

improve the Company‘s profit margins and enable the Company to continue growing its

portfolios of brands and products.

PRODUCTS

CNPF produces and distributes a wide range of food products including canned and processed

fish, canned meat and dairy and mixes for the domestic market, as well as processed tuna forthe export market. CNPF‘s brand portfolio includes some of the most well -known brands in

the Philippines, such as Argentina for corned beef, Century Tuna for canned tuna, 555 for

canned sardines and Birch Tree and Angel for milk and dairy products.

Canned and Processed Fish

Prior to the corporate restructuring, the company‘s businesses we re operated by different

companies. CCC, incorporated on December 12, 1978, handled the Group‘s sales and

distribution for canned and processed tuna, sardines and bangus. Products are marketed under

555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna. Columbus Seafood Corporation (―CSC‖),

incorporated on December 20, 1994 operated the manufacturing plant for the sardines.



In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, CNPF was incorporated and the

business operations of CCC and CSC were folded into CNPF under the canned and processed

fish segment.

15.3% in canned sardines, and was the largest producer of canned fish products in the

Philippines in terms of retail value. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the canned and

processed fish segment was the largest contributor to CNPF‘s revenue, with segment revenueof ₱7,014 million, representing 37% of total combined revenue of the company.



CNPF‘s canned and processed fish products are distributed in the Philippines to both retail

and food service outlets. Sales of CNPF‘s canned and processed fish products to retai l outlets

accounted for approximately 96% of total segment sales for the year ended December 31,

2013, while sales to food service outlets accounted for approximately 4% of total segment

sales for the same period.

Tuna products are CNPF‘s most significant products, accounting for 59%of total revenue for

the year ended December 31, 2013. CNPF‘s tuna products are primarily sold under the

Century Tuna, 555 Tuna, Fresca and Blue Bay brands. The Century Tuna brand was the

leading canned tuna brand in terms of both retail value and sales volume in the Philippines in

2012 according to AC Nielsen. The 555 Tuna brand targets budget conscious consumers

looking for affordable and high quality canned and processed fish products. Blue Bay is

positioned as a regional brand and its products primarily comprise traditional canned tuna.

Fresca is a regional value brand which offers a mix of traditional canned tuna and ready-to-

eat tuna viands, as well as pouched tuna products. In addition to traditional canned tuna and

tuna viands, CNPF also offers processed tuna products such as corned tuna, tuna loaf, tuna

sausage and tuna mayo spread.

CNPF also offers packaged seafood based on farmed and cultured species under the Century

Quality brand. Products include canned bangus (milkfish), fried sardines, canned salmon, and

bangus tocino. For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenues of the Company‘s canned

and processed fish products were ₱7,014 million.

CNPF‘s top brands in the canned and processed fish segment are Century Tuna and 555,

which collectively accounted for 84% of CNPF‘s total canned and processed fish revenue for

the year ended December 31, 2013.

Production and Raw Materi als

Raw materials used in the canned and processed fish segment include tuna, sardines, tin cans,

soya oil and vegetables. CNPF primarily sources such raw materials from third-party

suppliers. In particular, CNPF sources tuna and sardines from major domestic and

international fishing operators with whom CNPF has had a long history of cooperation.

Tin cans are used across all of CNPF‘s business segments. For the year ended December 31,

2013, usage of packaging materials, of which tin cans constitute the majority, accounted for

13% of CNPF‘s total production cost. While the majority of CNPF‘s tin can requirement is

purchased from third-party suppliers, CNPF currently owns and operates one tin can

manufacturing facility with installed capacity of 4.5 million cans per month as of December

31, 2013. Through this facility, CNPF is able to produce approximately 5% of its total tin canrequirements. The Company plans on constructing an additional tin can manufacturing

facility, which will be located directly adjacent to the current facility. The new facility is

expected to have an installed capacity of 700 cans per minute. Upon completion of the second

tin can manufacturing facility by the end of 2014, CNPF expects to provide approximately

25% to 30% of its tin can requirements through its own facilities.

As of the date of this Prospectus, CNPF owns one tuna processing plant in General Santos

City, one sardine processing plant with an installed capacity of 200 MT per day as of

December 31, 2013 in Zamboanga City and a second sardine processing plant with an

installed capacity of 45 MT per day as of December 31, 2013 in Cavite province. The table

below sets out key operating information for CNPF‘s fish processing facilities as of the date

of this Prospectus.



Facility Type Location Size

Tuna Processing Plant General Santos City 52,626 sq. m.

Sardine Processing Plant Zamboanga City 38,000 sq. m.

Sardine Processing Plant Cavite 2,500 sq. m.

The facilities operate six days per week, with two 12-hour shifts (inclusive of a one-hour

break per shift) per day.

The typical process for producing CNPF‘s tuna products begins with the loading and

receiving of tuna, which is then sorted, weighed and washed. The tuna is then steamed and

cooled before being further cleaned and de-boned. Once this steaming and cleaning process is

completed, the tuna is packaged into cans or pouches before being steamed a second time.

Then the product is cooled, labeled, packaged and prepared for shipment. The production process for CNPF‘s sardine products is similar, except that the products are only steamed

once after they have already been packaged into cans. The production workflows for tuna and

sardines, respectively, are illustrated below.

Tuna Process Workflow



Sardines Process Workflow

CNPF‘s tuna and sardine processing plants follow strict quality control standards. The quality

control system incorporates the HACCP plan, which is a regulatory requirement for all food

manufacturing businesses. CNPF also implements additional quality control programs

including GMP, SSOP, and pest control management. Quality standards and parameters are

established for each step of the production process to ensure the safety and quality of the

products. In addition, all finished products pass through an x-ray, which is able to detect any

foreign contaminants.

CNPF engages third-party contractors for certain aspects of its production processes. In the

canned and processed fish segment, CNPF typically outsources the production of new

products, particularly when CNPF believes there is a market opportunity for the new product

but the expected initial demand and production volume is relatively low. CNPF moves the

production of new products in-house once production volume reaches a certain scale.

Competition

Based on data from Euromonitor and certain internal assumptions and calculations, CNPF

believes that it is the largest producer of canned and processed fish products in the

Philippines, with an estimated market share of approximately 54% as at end 2012. According

to data from AC Nielsen, in 2012, CNPF had approximately 87% market share in canned tuna

and approximately 15.3% market share in canned sardines in the Philippines in terms of retail

value.

In the canned and processed fish segment, CNPF competes on quality, customer service,

distribution network and price. CNPF is the leading company in the canned tuna segment. In

the canned sardines segment, CNPF competes with major domestic canned and processed fish

producers such as Liberty Gold, Maunlad Canning Corporation, Universal Canning,

Incorporated and Mega Fishing Corporation, as well as numerous regional and local canned

foods processors. To maintain its leading market position, CNPF intends to, among other

measures, continue emphasizing the healthy image associated with Century Tuna whileintroducing different product sizes targeted towards more budget-conscious consumers.



Canned Meat

Prior to the corporate restructuring, PMCI, which was incorporated on June 28, 1994,

manufactured canned and frozen processed meat under the brand names Argentina, Swift and

MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

Marketing

CNPF advertises through various media outlets in the Philippines, including television, radio,

newspaper, magazines and billboards to promote brand awareness for its various product

lines. CNPF‘s brand portfolio includes some of the most recognized brands in the Philippine

food industry, including Century, Argentina, 555, Angel and Birch Tree. Employing celebrity

spokespersons, CNPF‘s advertising team has delivered a series of intuitive and appealing ad-

campaigns to enhance brand recognition. CNPF supplements these initiatives with

promotional activities such as product bundling and sampling, and through its presence in

social media networks.

In addition, C NPF makes certain that its brands and products are under a general ‗health &

wellness‘ theme in order to fully promote its products‘ benefits and attract health consciousconsumers. For example, CNPF builds brand awareness through sponsorships and events such

as the Century Tuna Superbods competition, highlighting the health and wellness benefits of

their tuna products.

CNPF has tailored marketing plans for each one of its product lines across all of its product

categories. Based on micro-level and macro-level research of consumer habits and purchasing

trends conducted in-house and by third-party research agencies, CNPF identifies the target

consumer segment for each product and develops a marketing campaign to best reach the

target consumer. For example, in the all-purpose cream category, Angel Kremdensada is

marketed on a platform of value for money, convenience and taste, and the marketing

message positions the brand as a trusted product which offers taste, savings and convenience

for inexperienced cooks. Angel All-Purpose Creamer , on the other hand, is marketed on a platform of superior taste and the marketing message positions the brand as a trusted product



which delivers superior taste and texture for experienced cooks at an affordable price.

Customized marketing strategies for each product enable CNPF to optimize brand positioning

and effectively convey its marketing messages to consumers.

CNPF has established dedicated business unit marketing teams across its various product

segments. CNPF also engages third-party advertising agencies for some of its marketing

campaigns.

Distribution

Domestic D istribution

Modern trade channels such as supermarkets and grocery stores account for more than 50% of

total sales for nearly all of CNPF‘s domestic product categories. CNPF‘s products are also

sold through general trade channels, including wet markets and sari-sari stores. CNPF

generally distributes its products directly to modern retail outlets and relies on third-party

distributors to distribute its products to wet markets and sari-sari stores. CNPF works closelywith its third-party distributors to increase penetration of general trade outlets, including

ensuring that distributors have access to the full range of CNPF products and are able to offer

the optimal product mix to general trade retailers. As the majority of domestic retail sales and

food services sales are made directly by the manufacturer, CNPF is able to reduce its

distribution costs and establish long-term relationships directly with retail customers. In

addition, CNPF is able to limit exposure to common risks associated with third-party

distributors by not being overly reliant on third-party distributors for its sales.

As at December 31, 2013, CNPF maintained 200 manufacturer direct-to-retail accounts

reaching 3,772 retail outlets ranging from hypermarkets to convenience stores. In addition, as

at December 31, 2013, CNPF held distribution agreements with 39 distributors reaching

100 manufacturer direct-to-customer accounts and 950 distributor-to-customer agreements as

at December 31, 2013.

As at December 31, 2013, CNPF leased 14 distribution depots and warehouses strategically

located throughout the Philippines. The map below shows the location of CNPF‘s distribution

depots and warehouses.



From these distribution depots and warehouses, CNPF‘s products are delivered to itscustomers by third-party trucking companies. Under the contracts between CNPF and third-

party trucking companies, the risk of loss is typically borne by the trucking company once the

products leave CNPF‘s loading docks. In addition, the trucking companies are typically

required to arrange appropriate insurance for goods during transit and/or provide a bond as

guarantee for any damage or loss arising from the contractor‘s performance of its obligations.

I nternational Distribution

its branded products, particularly to high growth markets such as China and Vietnam, through

its affiliates.

Sustainability Efforts and Marine Wildlife Protection

CNPF is committed to the improved conservation and management of all tuna species. CNPF

international best practices. CNPF also supports and invests in tuna fishery improvement and

conservation initiatives to sustain livelihoods while minimizing environmental impact.

fishing vessels, the fishing grounds and fishing gear associated with its fish supplies. This

system ensures that CNPF does not purchase tuna caught by vessels known or listed for

illegal, unregulated or unreported practices endangering marine mammals such as dolphins. Inaddition, CNPF has been accredited as ―Dolphin Safe‖ by the Earth Island Institute, an



independent company that monitors tuna catchers and processing companies globally to

ensure that catching methods do not harm any dolphins and protect the ecosystem and

inspects processing plants to ensure that only tuna caught using dolphin-friendly methods are

processed in CNPF‘s facilities. CNPF also refrains from doing business with companies or

fishing vessels associated with shark fishing.

Key drivers of the Philippine domestic consumption have been rising personal disposalincome, a burgeoning middle-income class and a young demographic composition.

Rising personal disposable income and burgeoning middle-income class in the

Philippines

One of the key drivers for strong domestic consumption growth has been the rapid growth of

personal disposable income and the continually expanding middle-income class, defined as

households with annual disposable income of between US5,000 and US$50,000. According

to EIU, per capita personal disposable income in the Philippines grew at a CAGR of 4.8%

between 2008 and 2012 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.4% between 2012 and

2017. As a direct result of rising disposable income, the percentage of middle-income

households increased from 45% in 2008 to 53% in 2012 and is expected to increase to 64%

by 2017. The growth in personal disposable income and emergence of a burgeoning midd le-

income class is expected to provide a strong foundation for the future consumption growth in

the Philippines.

Key trends

Economy brands gaini ng momentum

Economy brands, which are priced lower than the major competitors, are gaining importancein the Philippines as value for money is an important consideration when purchasing

products. Further, canned/processed food‘s affordability and ease of storage allow it to bedistributed effortlessly in sari-sari stores. This makes it a popular choice for lower- andmiddle-income households.

I nnovative products

Manufacturers have started to introduce more innovative products, in order to appeal to a

wider base of middle- and high-income consumers. Evolving from simple canned sardines,tuna and corned beef, they have widened their lines through the addition of variants such ascorned tuna, tuna paella, mackerel steaks and milkfish. These new products are instrumentalin generating demand from middle- and high-income consumers, who are searching for new

products to try. The wide variety of products available in the local market encourages morefrequent consumption. More innovative variants also appeal to younger and more adventurousconsumers, who demand on-the-go meals.

Domestic vs. impor ted brands

Domestic manufacturers dominate canned/preserved food due to their long-standing presencein the market and understanding of the tastes and preferences of local consumers. In 2011,local companies held more than 70% of the retail value sales of canned/preserved food. On

the other hand, imported brands like Spam and Campbell‘s are also popular, though they caterto a smaller consumer base, consisting of people who are willing to pay a higher price for

perceived higher-quality products.

Marketing and promotional strategies

Manufacturers are adopting aggressive marketing and promotional strategies to generate moredemand. Generally, Filipinos are willing to try brands which are endorsed by high-profilecelebrities. Thus manufacturers continue to invest in and benefit from celebrity endorsements.Advertisements via the printed media, radio and television remain important in the promotionof canned/preserved food.

With an increasing level of internet penetration in the Philippines, consumers areincreasingly looking to bloggers for reviews and recommendations.



Brand diff erentiation

Brand differentiation has been a key strategy in the local competitive landscape, creatingdifferent brand images to suit the profile of the target audience. For instance, CNPF‘s Century

Tuna is intended to appeal to people who are conscious about their physical appearance, while555 is promoted as an ―affordable dish‖. Differentiation through advertising campaignsallowed companies to set themselves apart and, at the same time, prevent productcommoditization.

Packaging

Packaging is also very important in the Philippine canned/preserved food industry, as it oftendictates the pricing scheme used by manufacturers. Small packaging, such as 100g packages,has gained wider importance as consumers have shown a preference for affordable brands.Other important packaging developments are the use of pouches instead of metal food cansand easy-open cans for convenience.

TUNA EXPORTS

According to Euromonitor, the global fish/seafood export market has continued to growovertime. Health and wellness is the primary driver of seafood consumption as seafood is ahealthier alternative to meat.

The following chart shows the CAGR in expenditure of fish and seafood from 2008 to 2012.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, moderate demand, low supplies andrising prices have been the features of the global tuna market in 2013. Tuna prices haveincreased further for delivery to Asian canners, indicating lower supplies than currentdemand. Following this trend, canned tuna prices are also increasing. With the high skipjack

prices, many tuna packers have started adjusting their selling prices or reducing the productcontent to absorb increasing production costs.

The canned tuna consumption has been declining in the United States over the years, which isapparent in the declining imports, which dropped by 14.3% in volume in 2012. The importvalue (U.S.$761.3 million), however, went up by 5.8% as a result of increasing tuna pricesworldwide.



Rising canned tuna prices have prompted EU importers to look for cheaper alternatives,including products from African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries that have 0% import duty.Thus, in 2012, canned tuna supplies from Côte d‘Ivoire and Papua New Guinea to the EUincreased by 31% and 38.5% respectively, which somewhat offset lower imports fromThailand (-44.3%) and the Philippines (-7.8%). The overall imports of canned/preserved tunainto the EU in 2012 were only down by 3.5% in quantity, but the value went up by more than14.4% over that of 2011, amounting to 447,579 tons valued at U.S.$2.5 billion.

In early 2003, the EU agreed to increase the annual import quota for pre-cooked tuna loins to22,000 tons from 15,000 tons at zero duty for three years. European canners, mainly in Spain,quickly took almost all the allotted duty-free quota within the first quarter of the year, mainlyfrom Thailand, Vietnam, China, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Philippine tuna export industry

According to the BOC, the total market size of the Philippine tuna export producers market

had reached U.S.$330 million in December 2013. Out of this, EU is the biggest importer ofPhilippine tuna.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System

The Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System was established by virtue ofPresidential Decree 1586. Development projects that are classified by law as environmentallycritical or projects within statutorily defined environmentally critical areas are required to

obtain an Environmental Compliance Certificate (―ECC‖) prior to project construction andoperation. Through its regional offices or through the Environmental Management Bureau(―EMB‖), the DENR determines whether a project is environmentally critical or located in anenvironmentally critical area. As a prerequisite for the issuance of an ECC, anenvironmentally critical project is required to submit an Environmental Impact Statement(―EIS‖) to the EMB while a project in an environmentally critical area is generally required tosubmit an Initial Environmental Examination (―IEE‖) to the proper DENR regional office,without prejudice to the power of the DENR to require a more detailed EIS.

The EIS refers to both the document and the environmental impact assessment of a project,including a discussion of direct and indirect consequences to human welfare and ecology aswell as environmental integrity. The IEE refers to the document and the study describing theenvironmental impact, including mitigation and enhancement measures, for projects inenvironmentally critical areas.



While the terms and conditions of an EIS or an IEE may vary from project to project, at aminimum, they contain all relevant information regarding the environmental effects of a

project. The entire process of organization, administration and assessment of the effects ofany project on the quality of the physical, biological and socio-economic environment as wellas the design of appropriate preventive, mitigating and enhancement measures is known asthe EIS system. The EIS system successfully culminates in the issuance of an ECC. The ECCis a government certification that (1) the proposed project or undertaking will not cause asignificant negative environmental impact, (2) the proponent has complied with all therequirements of the EIS system, and (3) the proponent is committed to implement itsapproved environmental management plan in the EIS or, if an IEE was required, that it willcomply with the mitigation measures suggested therein. The ECC contains specific measuresand conditions that the project proponent must undertake before and during the operation of a

project, and in some cases, during the abandonment phase of the project to mitigate identifiedenvironmental impact.

Project proponents that prepare an EIS are required to establish an Environmental GuaranteeFund (―EGF‖) when the ECC is issued to projects determined by the DENR to posesignificant public risks to life, health, property and the environment. The EGF is intended toanswer for damages caused by such projects as well as any rehabilitation and restorationmeasures. Project proponents that prepare an EIS are mandated to include a commitment toestablish an Environmental Monitoring Fund (―EMF‖) when an ECC is eventually issued.The EMF shall be used to support activities of a multi-partite monitoring team that will beorganized to monitor compliance with the ECC and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

The Company incurs expenses for the purposes of complying with environmental laws thatconsist primarily of payments for government regulatory fees.

In certain instances, the EMB may determine and issue a certification that a certain project isnot covered by the EIS System and an ECC is not required. Consequently, a Certificate of

Non-Coverage (―CNC‖) may be issued in lieu of an ECC.

The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Philippine EnvironmentalImpact Statement System.

Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act

The Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act (R.A. No. 6969) mandatescontrol and management of import, manufacture, process, distribution, use, transport,treatment and disposal of toxic substances and hazardous and nuclear wastes. It seeks to

protect public health and the environment from unreasonable risks posed by these substances.

Hazardous Waste Generators, i.e. persons (natural or juridical) who generate or producehazardous wastes, through any commercial, industrial or trade activities, are required toregister with the EMB Regional Office having jurisdiction over the location of the wastegenerator. A DENR I.D. Number shall be issued upon registration.

This is a one-time permit unless there is a change in the hazardous wastes produced.

The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Toxic Substances, Hazardousand Nuclear Wastes Control Act.

Clean Air Act



The Clean Air Act of 1999 focuses primarily on pollution prevention and provides for acomprehensive management program for air pollution.

Consistent with the policies of the Clean Air Act, all stationary sources of air pollution thathave the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more of any regulated air pollutant, or whenrequired under the ECC, must secure an Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate fromthe EMB prior to commencement of construction or operation.

The Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate is a one-time permit while the permit tooperate must be renewed yearly.

The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Clean Air Act.

LABOR LEGISLATION

The Labor Code

The Philippine Labor Code and other statutory enactments provide the minimum benefits thatemployers must grant to their employees, which include certain social security benefits, suchas benefits mandated by the Social Security Act of 1997 (R.A. No. 8282), the National HealthInsurance Act of 1995 (R.A. No. 7875), as amended, and the Home Development Fund Lawof 2009 (R.A. No. 9679).

Under the Social Security Act of 1997, social security coverage is compulsory for allemployees under 60 years of age. An employer is obligated to deduct and withhold from eachemployee's monthly salary, wage, compensation or earnings, the employee's contribution; andthe employer, for its part, makes a counterpart contribution for the employee, and remits bothamounts to the Social Security System (―SSS‖). This enables the employees to claim their

pension, death benefits, permanent disability benefits, funeral benefits, sickness benefits andmaternity-leave benefits. The Social Security Act of 1997 imposes penal sanctions if anemployer fails to remit the contributions to the SSS. For corporate employers, the penalty isimposed on its president and members of the board of directors.

The National Health Insurance Act created the National Health Insurance Program (―NHIP‖)to provide health insurance coverage and ensure affordable and accessible health care servicesto all Filipino citizens. Under the law, all members of the SSS are automatically members ofthe NHIP. The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (―PhilHealth‖) administers the NHIP,and an employer is required to deduct and withhold the contributions from the employee‘ssalary, wage or earnings, make a counterpart contribution for the employee, and remit bothamounts to PhilHealth. The NHIP will then subsidize personal health services required by the

employee subject to certain terms and conditions under the law. The National HealthInsurance Act likewise imposes penal sanctions if an employer does not remit thecontributions to PhilHealth. For corporate employers, the penalty is imposed on its presidentand members of the board of directors.

The Home Development Fund Law (R.A. No. 9679) or the Pag-IBIG Fund Law, created theHome Development Mutual Fund (―HDMF‖), a national savings program as well as a fund to

provide for affordable shelter financing to Filipino workers. Coverage under the HDMF iscompulsory for all SSS members and their employers. Under the law, an employer mustdeduct and withhold 2% of the employee's monthly compensation, up to a maximum of₱5,000.00, and likewise make a counterpart contribution of 2% of the employee's monthlycompensation, and remit the contributions to the HDMF. The Pag-IBIG Fund Law alsoimposes penal sanctions if the employer does not remit the contributions to the HDMF.



The Philippine Labor Code provides that, in the absence of a retirement plan provided bytheir employers, private-sector employees who have reached 60 years of age or more, but not

beyond 65 years of age, the compulsory retirement age for private-sector employees without aretirement plan, and who have rendered at least five years of service in an establishment, mayretire and receive a minimum retirement pay equivalent to one-half month's salary for everyyear of service, with a fraction of at least six months being considered as one whole year. Forthe purpose of computing the retirement pay, "one-half month's salary" shall include all of thefollowing: fifteen days salary based on the latest salary rate; in addition, one-twelfth of thethirteenth month pay and the cash equivalent of five days of service incentive leave pay.Other benefits may be included in the computation of the retirement pay upon agreement ofthe employer and the employee or if provided in a collective bargaining agreement.

The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Labor Code.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARES

The shares to be offered shall be Common Shares of the Company.

Pursuant to its amended articles of incorporation, the Company has an authorized amount of

capital stock of ₱6,000,000,000 divided into 6,000,000,000 Common Shares with a par value

of ₱1.00 per share, of which 2,000,000,000 Common Shares are outstanding as of the date of

this Prospectus. The Offer Shares shall be Common Shares of the Company.

The Offer Shares shall be offered at a price of up to ₱14.50 per Offer Share (the ―Offer

Price‖). The determination of the Offer Price is further discussed on page 64 of this

Prospectus. A total of 2,229,654,404 Common Shares will be outstanding after the Offer. The

Offer Shares will comprise up to 10.30% of the outstanding Common Shares after the Offer.

Objects and Purposes

The Company has been organized primarily to engage in the business of manufacturing, andits articles of incorporation state that its primary purpose is to buy and sell on a wholesale

basis, process, preserve, can, pack, manufacture, produce, distribute, import and export, and

deal in all kinds of food products, such as but not limited to fish, seafood, and other marine

products, cattle, hog and other animals and animal products, fruits, vegetables and other

agricultural crops and produce of land, including by-products thereof, and for such purpose,

to acquire, construct, own, lease, charter, establish, maintain and operate canneries, factories,

plants, vessels, cold storage, refrigerators, refrigerated vehicles and vessels, warehouses, and

other machineries, equipment, apparatus and appliance as may be required in the conduct of

its business .

Under Philippine law, a corporation may invest its funds in any other corporation or business

or for any purpose other than the primary purpose for which it was organized when approved by a majority of the board of directors of such corporation and ratified by the shareholders

representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding capital shares, at a shareholders‘ meeting

duly called for the purpose. However, where the investment by the corporation is reasonably

necessary to accomplish its primary purpose, the approval of the shareholders shall not be

necessary.

Share Capital

A Philippine corporation may issue common or preferred shares, or such other classes of

shares with such rights, privileges or restrictions as may be provided for in the articles of

incorporation and by-laws of the corporation.

Under Philippine law, the shares of a corporation may either be with or without a par value.

All of the Common Shares currently issued have a par value of ₱1.00 per share. In the case of

par value shares, where a corporation issues shares at a price above par, whether for cash or

otherwise, the amount by which the subscription price exceeds the par value is credited to an

account designated as additional paid-in capital or paid-in surplus.

Subject to approval by the SEC, a corporation may increase or decrease its authorized capital

shares, provided that the change is approved by a majority of the board of directors of such

corporation and shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding

capital shares of the corporation voting at a shareholders‘ meeting duly called for the purpose.



A corporation is empowered to acquire its own shares for a legitimate corporate purpose,

provided that the corporation has unrestricted retained earnings or surplus profits sufficient to

pay for the shares to be acquired. Examples of instances in which the corporation is

empowered to purchase its own shares are: when the elimination of fractional shares arising

out of share dividends is necessary or desirable, the purchase of shares of dissentingshareholders exercising their appraisal right (as discussed below) and the collection or

compromise of an indebtedness arising out of an unpaid subscription. When a corporation

repurchases its own shares, the shares become treasury shares, which may be resold at a price

fixed by the board of directors of such corporation.

Voting Rights

Under the Company‘s amended articles of incorporation, the owners or holders of Common

Shares have full voting rights. However, the Philippine Corporation Code provides that voting

rights cannot be exercised with respect to shares declared by the board of directors as

delinquent, treasury shares, or if the shareholder has elected to exercise his right of appraisal

as discussed below.

Pre-Emptive Rights

The Philippine Corporation Code confers pre-emptive rights on the existing shareholders of a

Philippine corporation which entitle such shareholders to subscribe to all issues or other

dispositions of shares of any class by the corporation in proportion to their respective

shareholdings, regardless of whether the shares proposed to be issued or otherwise disposed

of are identical to the shares held. A Philippine corporation may, however, provide for the

denial of these pre-emptive rights in its articles of incorporation. Likewise, shareholders who

are entitled to such pre-emptive rights may waive the same through a written instrument to

that effect.

The amended articles of incorporation of the Company deny the pre-emptive rights of its

shareholders to subscribe to any or all dispositions of any class of shares.

Derivative Rights

Philippine law recognizes the right of a shareholder to institute proceedings on behalf of the

corporation in a derivative action in circumstances where the corporation itself is unable or

unwilling to institute the necessary proceedings to redress wrongs committed against the

corporation or to vindicate corporate rights as, for example, where the directors of the

corporation themselves are the malefactors.

Appraisal Rights

The Philippine Corporation Code grants a shareholder a right of appraisal and demand

payment of the fair value of his shares in certain circumstances where he has dissented and

voted against a proposed corporate action, including:

an amendment of the articles of incorporation which has the effect of adversely

affecting the rights attached to his shares or of authorizing preferences in any respect

superior to those of outstanding shares of any class;

the extension of the term of corporate existence;



the sale, lease, exchange, transfer, mortgage, pledge or other disposal of all or

substantially all the assets of the corporation;

a merger or consolidation; and

investment by the corporation of funds in any other corporation or business or for any

purpose other than the primary purpose for which it was organized.

In any of these circumstances, the dissenting shareholder may require the corporation to

purchase its shares at a fair value, which, in default of agreement, is determined by three

disinterested persons, one of whom shall be named by the shareholder, one by the

corporation, and the third by the two thus chosen. Regional Trial Courts will, in the event of a

dispute, determine any question about whether a dissenting shareholder is entitled to this right

of appraisal. From the time the shareholder makes a demand for payment until the corporation

purchases such shares, all rights accruing on the shares, including voting and dividend rights,

shall be suspended, except the right of the shareholder to receive the fair value of such shares.

No payment shall be made to any dissenting shareholder unless the corporation hasunrestricted retained earnings sufficient to support the purchase of the shares of the dissenting

shareholders.

Board of Directors

Unless otherwise provided by law or in the articles of incorporation, the corporate powers of

the Company are exercised, its business is conducted, and its property is controlled by the

Board. Pursuant to its articles of incorporation, as amended, the Company shall have seven

Directors, two of whom are independent Directors within the meaning set forth in Section 38

of the SRC. The Board shall be elected during each regular meeting of shareholders, at which

shareholders representing at least a majority of the issued and outstanding capital shares of

the Company are present, either in person or by proxy.

Directors may only act collectively; individual directors have no power as such. Four

directors, which is a majority of the Directors, constitute a quorum for the transaction of

corporate business. In general, every decision of a majority of the quorum duly assembled as

a Board is valid as a corporate act.

Any vacancy created by the death, resignation or removal of a director prior to expiration of

such director‘s term shall be filled by a vote of at least a majority of the remaining members

of the Board, if still constituting a quorum, Otherwise, the vacancy must be filled by the

shareholders at a meeting duly called for the purpose. Any director elected in this manner by

the Board shall serve only for the unexpired term of the director whom such director replacesand until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Shareholders’ Meetings

Annual or Regular Shareholders ’ Meetings

The Philippine Corporation Code requires all Philippine corporations to hold an annual

meeting of shareholders for corporate purposes including the election of directors. The by-

laws of the Company provide for annual meetings every June 30 of each year to be held at the

principal office of the Company and at such hour as specified in the notice.



Special Shareholders’ Meeting

Special meetings of shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may at any time be called by

either the President or a majority of the Board of Directors, whenever he or they shall deem it

necessary.

Notice of Shareholders’ Meeting

Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written

notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and time of the meeting,

and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The Company by-laws provide

that notices of the time and place of the annual and special meetings of the shareholders shall

be given either by mailing the same enclosed in a postage-prepaid envelope, addressed to

each shareholder of record at the address left by such shareholder with the Secretary of the

Corporation, or at his last known post-office address, or by delivering the same to him in

person, at least one week before the date set for such meeting. Notice to any special meeting

must state, among others, the matters to be taken up in the said meeting, and no other businessshall be transacted at such meeting except by consent of all the shareholders present, entitled

to vote. No notice of meeting need be published in any newspaper, except when necessary to

comply with the special requirements of the Philippine Corporation Code. Shareholders

entitled to vote may, by written consent, waive notice of the time, place and purpose of any

meeting of shareholders and any action taken at such meeting pursuant to such waiver shall be

valid and binding. When the meeting of the shareholders is adjourned to another time or

place, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be provided so long as the time and place to

which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is

taken. At the reconvened meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been

transacted on the original date of the meeting.

Quorum

Unless otherwise provided by an existing shareholders‘ agreement or by law, in all regular or

special meeting of shareholders, a majority of the outstanding capital shares must be present

or represented in order to constitute a quorum, except in those cases where the Philippine

Corporation Code provides a greater percentage vis-à-vis the total outstanding capital shares.

If no quorum is constituted, the meeting shall be adjourned until the requisite amount of

shares shall be presented.

Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or, in his

absence, by absence chairman to be chosen by the Board of Directors. The Corporate

Secretary, or, in his absence, any person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall actas secretary of such meeting.

Voting

At all meetings of shareholders, a holder of Common Shares may vote in person or by proxy,

for each share held by such shareholder. Each Common Share is equal in all respects to every

other Common Share. All the Common Shares have full voting and dividend rights.

F ix ing Record Dates

Under existing SEC rules, cash dividends declared by corporations whose shares are listed on

the PSE shall have a record date which shall not be less than 10 or more than 30 days fromthe date of declaration. With respect to share dividends, the record date shall not be less than



10 or more than 30 days from the date of shareholder approval; provided, however, that the

record date set shall not be less than 10 trading days from receipt by the PSE of the notice of

declaration of share dividends. In the event that share dividends are declared in connection

with an increase in the authorized capital shares, the corresponding record date shall be fixed

by the SEC.

Matters Per tain ing to Prox ies

Shareholders may vote at all meetings the number of shares registered in their respective

names, either in person or by proxy duly given in writing and duly presented to the Corporate

Secretary at least 10 days before the meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the proxy, it shall

be valid only for the meeting at which it has been presented to the Corporate Secretary.

Proxies should comply with the relevant provisions of the Philippine Corporation Code, the

SRC, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the SRC (as amended), and regulations

issued by the SEC.

Dividends

The Common Shares have full dividend rights. Dividends on the Company‘s Common

Shares, if any, are paid in accordance with Philippine law. Dividends are payable to all

shareholders on the basis of outstanding Common Shares held by them, each Common Share

being entitled to the same unit of dividend as any other Common Share. Dividends are

payable to shareholders whose names are recorded in the stock and transfer book as of the

record date fixed by the Company‘s Board of Directors. The PSE has an established

mechanism for distribution of dividends to beneficial owners of Common Shares which are

traded through the PSE which are lodged with the PCD Nominee as required for scripless

trading.

Under Philippine law, a corporation can only declare dividends to the extent that it has

unrestricted retained earnings that represent the undistributed earnings of the corporation

which have not been allocated for any managerial, contractual or legal purposes and which

are free for distribution to the shareholders as dividends. A corporation may pay dividends in

cash, by the distribution of property or by the issuance of shares. Dividends may be declared

by the board of directors except for share dividends which may only be declared and paid

with the approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the issued and

outstanding capital shares of the corporation voting at a shareholders‘ meeting duly called for

the purpose.

The Philippine Corporation Code generally requires a Philippine corporation with retainedearnings in excess of 100% of its paid-in capital to declare and distribute as dividends the

amount of such surplus. However, a Philippine corporation may retain all or any portion of

such surplus in the following cases: (1) when justified by definite expansion plans approved

by the board of directors of the corporation; (2) when the required consent of any financing

institution or creditor to such distribution has not been secured; (3) when retention is

necessary under special circumstances, such as when there is a need for special reserves for

probable contingencies; or (4) when the non-distribution of dividends is consistent with the

policy or requirement of a Government office. Philippine corporations whose securities are

listed on any shares exchange are required to maintain and distribute an equitable balance of

cash and share dividends, consistent with the needs of shareholders and the demands for

growth or expansion of the business.



The Company has approved a dividend policy of maintaining an annual cash and/or share

dividend pay-out of up to 30% of its net profit from the preceding year, subject to the

requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the terms and conditions of its outstanding

bonds and loan facilities, and the absence of circumstances that may restrict the payment of

such dividends, such as where the Company undertakes major projects and developments.Dividends must be approved by the Board and may be declared only from the unrestricted

retained earnings of the Company. The Company‘s Board of Directors may, at any time,

modify the Company‘s dividend policy, depending upon the Company‘s capital expenditure

plans and/or any terms of financing facilities entered into to fund its current and future

operations and projects. The Company can give no assurance that it will pay any dividends in

the future.

Preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series as the Board of

Directors, through a resolution, may determine, and authority has been expressly granted to

the Board of Directors to establish and designate each particular series of preferred shares, to

fix the number of shares to be included in each of such series, and to determine the dividend

rate, price, amount of participation, and other terms and conditions of each such shares, whichresolution(s) shall thereupon be deemed a part of these articles of incorporation.

Transfer of Shares and Share Register

All transfers of shares on the PSE shall be effected by means of a book-entry system. Under

the book-entry system of trading and settlement, a registered shareholder shall transfer legal

title over the shares to a nominee, but retains beneficial ownership over the shares. The

transfer of legal title is done by surrendering the stock certificate representing the shares to

participants of the PDTC System (i.e., brokers and custodian banks) that, in turn, lodge the

same with the PCD Nominee Corporation, a corporation wholly-owned by the PDTC (the

―PCD Nominee‖). A shareholder may request upliftment of the shares from the PDTC, in

which case a stock certificate will be issued to the shareholder and the shares registered in the

shareholder‘s name in the books of the Company. See ―The Philippine Stock Market ‖.

Philippine law does not require transfers of the Common Shares to be effected on the PSE,

but any off-exchange transfers will subject the transferor to a capital gains tax that may be

significantly greater than the share transfer tax applicable to transfers effected on the PSE.

See ― Philippine Taxation‖. All transfers of shares on the PSE must be effected through a

licensed stockbroker in the Philippines.

There is no provision in the Company‘s Articles of Incorporation and By -Laws, as amended,

which may delay, deter, or prevent a change in control in the Company.

Issues of Shares

Subject to otherwise applicable limitations, the Company may issue additional Common

Shares to any person for consideration deemed fair by the Board, provided that such

consideration shall not be less than the par value of the issued Common Shares. No share

certificates shall be issued to a subscriber until the full amount of the subscription together

with interest and expenses (in case of delinquent Common Shares) has been paid and proof of

payment of the applicable taxes shall have been submitted to the Company‘s Corporate

Secretary. Under the PSE Rules, only fully-paid shares may be listed on the PSE.



Recent sales of unregistered or exempt securities (including recent issuance of securities

constituting an exempt transaction)

On February 8, 2014, Century Canning Corporation subscribed for an additional 500,000,000

Common Shares at the aggregate subscription price of ₱500,000,000.00, thereby increasing

its shareholdings in the Company from 1,499,999,993 Common Shares to 1,999,999,993

Common Shares. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or

indirectly in connection with such subscription. Other than as described herein, there have

been no sales of unregistered or exempt securities, or any issuances of securities constituting

an exempt transaction.

The sale of capital stock of a corporation to its own stockholders exclusively, where no

commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly in connection with

the sale of such capital stock is a transaction exempt from registration under Section 10.1(e)

of the SRC, and no notice or confirmation of exemption is required to be filed for such

transaction.

Share Certificates

Certificates representing the Common Shares will be issued in such denominations as

shareholders may request, except that certificates will not be issued for fractional shares.

Shareholders wishing to split their certificates may do so upon application to the Company‘s

share transfer agent, BDO Unibank, Inc. – Trust Banking Group, which will maintain the

share register. Common Shares may also be lodged and maintained under the book-entry

system of the PDTC. See ―The Philippine Stock Market ‖.

Fundamental Matters

The Philippine Corporation Code provides that certain significant acts may only beimplemented with shareholders‘ approval. The following require the approval of shareholders

representing at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding capital shares (including non-

voting preferred shares) of the corporation in a meeting duly called for the purpose:

amendment of the articles of incorporation;

removal of directors;

sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge or other disposition of all or a substantial part

of the assets of the corporation;

investment of corporate funds in any other corporation or business or for any purpose

other than the primary purpose for which the corporation was organized; declaration or issuance of share dividends;

delegation to the board of directors of the power to amend or repeal by-laws or adopt

new by-laws;

merger or consolidation;

dissolution;

an increase or decrease in capital shares;

ratification of a contract of a directors or officer with the corporation;

extension or shortening of the corporate term;

creation or increase of bonded indebtedness; and



management contracts with related parties;

The approval of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding capital shares of a

Philippine corporation, including the non-voting preferred shares, is required for the adoption

or amendment of the by-laws of such corporation.

Accounting and Auditing Requirements

Philippine stock corporations are required to file copies of their annual financial statements

with the SEC. In addition, public corporations are required to file quarterly financial

statements (for the first three quarters) with the SEC. Those corporations whose shares are

listed on the PSE are additionally required to file said quarterly and annual financial

statements with the PSE. Shareholders are entitled to request copies of the most recent

financial statements of the corporation which include a statement of financial position as of

the end of the most recent tax year and a profit and loss statement for that year. Shareholders

are also entitled to inspect and examine the books and records that the corporation is required

by law to maintain.

The Board is required to present to shareholders at every annual meeting a financial report of

the operations of the Company for the preceding year. This report is required to include

audited financial statements.



THE PHILIPPINE STOCK MARKET

The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available

documents which have not been prepared or independently verified by the Company, the Joint

Lead Underwriters or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or advisors in connection

with the offer and sale of the Offer Shares.

Brief History

The Philippines initially had two stock exchanges, the Manila Stock Exchange, which was

organized in 1927, and the Makati Stock Exchange, which began operations in 1963. Each

exchange was self-regulating, governed by its respective Board of Governors elected annually

by its members.

Several steps initiated by the Philippine government have resulted in the unification of the

two bourses into the PSE. The PSE was incorporated in 1992 by officers of both the Makati

and the Manila Stock Exchanges. In March 1994, the licenses of the two exchanges wererevoked. While the PSE maintains two trading floors, one in Makati City and the other in

Pasig City, these floors are linked by an automated trading system, which integrates all bid

and ask quotations from the bourses.

In June 1998, the SEC granted the Self-Regulatory Organization status to the PSE, allowing it

to impose rules as well as implement penalties on erring trading participants and listed

companies. On August 8, 2001, the PSE completed its demutualization, converting from a

non-stock member-governed institution into a stock corporation in compliance with the

requirements of the SRC. The PSE had an authorized capital stock of 97.8 million shares, of

which 61,258,733 shares were subscribed and fully paid-up as of June 30, 2013. Each of the

184 member-brokers was granted 50,000 common shares of the new PSE at a par value of

₱1.00 per share. In addition, a trading right evidenced by a ―Trading Participant Certificate‖

was immediately conferred on each member broker allowing the use of the PSE‘s trading

facilities. As a result of the demutualization, the composition of the PSE Board of Governors

was changed, requiring the inclusion of seven brokers and eight non-brokers, one of whom is

the President.

On December 15, 2003, the PSE listed its shares by way of introduction at its own bourse as

part of a series of reforms aimed at strengthening the securities industry.

Classified into financial, industrial, holding firms, property, services, and mining and oil

sectors, companies are listed either on the PSE‘s Main Board or the Small, Medium and

Emerging Board. Previously, the PSE allowed listing on the First Board, Second Board or theSmall, Medium and Enterprises Board. As a result of the issuance by the PSE of

Memorandum No. CN-No. 2013-0023 dated June 6, 2013, revisions to the PSE Listing Rules

were made. Among such changes are the removal of the Second Board listing and the

requirement that lock-up rules be embodied in the articles of the incorporation of the issuer.

Each index represents the numerical average of the prices of component shares. The PSE has

an index, referred to as the PHISIX, which as at the date thereof reflects the price movements

of selected shares listed on the PSE, based on traded prices of shares from the various sectors.

The PSE shifted from full market capitalization to free float market capitalization effective

April 3, 2006, simultaneous with the migration to the free float index and the renaming of the

PHISIX to PSEi. The PSEi is composed of shares of 30 selected companies listed on the PSE.



With the increasing calls for good corporate governance, the PSE has adopted an online daily

disclosure system to improve the transparency of listed companies and to protect the investing

public.

The table below sets out movements in the composite index as of the last business day of each

calendar year from 1995 to 2013, and the most recent month end in 2014, and shows the

Trading

The PSE is a double auction market. Buyers and sellers are each represented by stockbrokers.

To trade, bid or ask prices are posted on the PSE‘s electronic trading system. A buy (or sell)

order that matches the lowest asked (or highest bid) price is automatically executed. Buy and

sell orders received by one broker at the same price are crossed at the PSE at the indicated

price. Payment of purchases of listed securities must be made by the buyer on or before the

third trading day (the settlement date) after the trade.

Beginning January 2, 2012, trading on the PSE starts at 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., when there

will be a one and a half hour lunch break. In the afternoon, trading resumes at 1:30 p.m. and

ends at 3:30 p.m., with a 10-minute extension during which transactions may be conducted,

provided that they are executed at the last traded price and are only for the purpose of



completing unfinished orders. Trading days are Monday to Friday, except legal holidays and

days when the BSP clearing house is closed.

Minimum trading lots range from 5 to 1,000,000 shares depending on the price range and

nature of the security traded. Odd-sized lots are traded by brokers on a board specifically

designed for odd-lot trading.

To maintain stability in the stock market, daily price swings are monitored and regulated.

Under current PSE regulations, when the price of a listed security moves up by 50% or down

by 50% in one day (based on the previous closing price or last posted bid price, whichever is

higher), the price of that security is automatically frozen by the PSE, unless there is an

official statement from the company or a government agency justifying such price fluctuation,

in which case the affected security can still be traded but only at the frozen price. If the issuer

fails to submit such explanation, a trading halt is imposed by the PSE on the listed security

the following day. Resumption of trading shall be allowed only when the disclosure of the

company is disseminated, subject again to the trading ban.

Non-Resident Transactions

When the purchase/sale of Philippine shares involves a non-resident, whether the transaction

is effected in the domestic or foreign market, it will be the responsibility of the securities

dealer/broker to register the transaction with the BSP. The local securities dealer/broker shall

file with the BSP, within three business days from the transaction date, an application in the

prescribed registration form. After compliance with other required undertakings, the BSP

shall issue a Certificate of Registration. Inward foreign investments in PSE-listed securities

are registered with the investor‘s designated custodian bank on behalf of the BSP. Under BSP

rules, all registered foreign investments in securities including profits and dividends, net of

taxes and charges, may be repatriated.

Settlement

The Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines (―SCCP‖) is a wholly -owned

subsidiary of the PSE, and was organized primarily as a clearance and settlement agency for

SCCP-eligible trades executed through the facilities of the PSE. SCCP received its permanent

license to operate on January 17, 2002. It is responsible for:

synchronizing the settlement of funds and the transfer of securities through Delivery

versus Payment clearing and settlement of transactions of Clearing Members, who

are also Trading Participants of the PSE;

guaranteeing the settlement of trades in the event of a Trading Participant‘s default

through the implementation of its Fails Management System and administration of

the Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund; and

performance of Risk Management and Monitoring to ensure final and irrevocable

settlement.

SCCP settles PSE trades on a three-day rolling settlement environment, which means that

settlement of trades takes place three trading days after transaction date (―T+3‖). The

deadline for settlement of trades is 12:00 n.n. of T+3. Securities sold should be in scripless

form and lodged under the book-entry system of the PDTC. Each PSE Broker maintains a

Cash Settlement Account with one of the five existing Settlement Banks of SCCP, which areBDO Unibank, Inc., Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, Metropolitan Bank and Trust



Company, Deutsche Bank and Unionbank of the Philippines. Payment for securities bought

should be in good, cleared funds and should be final and irrevocable. Settlement is presently

on a broker level.

SCCP implemented its Central Clearing and Central Settlement system on May 29, 2006.

CCCS employs multilateral netting, whereby the system automatically off sets ―buy‖ and

―sell‖ transactions on a per issue and a per flag basis to arrive at a net receipt or a net delivery

security position for each Clearing Member. All cash debits and credits are also netted into a

single net cash position for each Clearing Member. Novation of the original PSE trade

contracts occurs, and SCCP stands between the original trading parties and becomes the

Central Counterparty to each PSE-eligible trade cleared through it.

Scripless Trading

In 1995, the PDTC (formerly the Philippine Central Depository, Inc.), was organized to

establish a central depository in the Philippines and introduce scripless or book-entry trading

in the Philippines. On December 16, 1996, the PDTC was granted a provisional license by theSEC to act as a central securities depository.

All listed securities at the PSE have been converted into book-entry settlement in the PDTC.

The depository service of the PDTC provides the infrastructure for lodgment (deposit) and

upliftment (withdrawal) of securities, pledge of securities, securities lending and borrowing

and corporate actions including shareholders‘ meetings, dividend declarations and rights

offerings. The PDTC also provides depository and settlement services for non-PSE trades of

listed equity securities. For transactions on the PSE, the security element of the trade will be

settled through the book-entry system, while the cash element will be settled through the

current settlement banks, BDO Unibank, Inc., Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation,

Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, Deutsche Bank and Unionbank of the Philippines.

In order to benefit from the book-entry system, securities must be immobilized into the PDTC

system through a process called lodgment. Lodgment is the process by which shareholders

transfer legal title (but not beneficial title) over their shares in favor of the PCD Nominee

Corporation (―PCD Nominee‖), a corporation wholly-owned by the PDTC, whose sole

purpose is to act as nominee and legal title holder of all shares lodged in the PDTC.

―Immobilization‖ is the process by which the warrant or share certificates of lodging holders

are cancelled by the transfer agent and the corresponding transfer of beneficial ownership of

the immobilized shares in the account of the PCD Nominee through the PDTC participant

will be recorded in the issuing corporation‘s registry. This trust arrangement between the

participants and PDTC through the PCD Nominee is established by and explained in the

PDTC Rules and Operating Procedures approved by the SEC. No consideration is paid for thetransfer of legal title to the PCD Nominee. Once lodged, transfers of beneficial title of the

securities are accomplished via book-entry settlement.

Under the current PDTC system, only participants (e.g. brokers and custodians) will be

recognized by the PDTC as the beneficial owners of the lodged equity securities. Thus, each

beneficial owner of shares, through his participant, will be the beneficial owner to the extent

of the number of shares held by such participant in the records of the PCD Nominee. All

lodgments, trades and uplifts on these shares will have to be coursed through a participant.

Ownership and transfers of beneficial interests in the shares will be reflected, with respect to

the participant‘s aggregate holdings, in the PDTC system, and with respect to each beneficial

owner‘s holdings, in the records of the participants. Beneficial owners are thus advised that in

order to exercise their rights as beneficial owners of the lodged shares, they must rely on their

participant-brokers and/or participant-custodians.



Any beneficial owner of shares who wishes to trade his interests in the shares must course the

trade through a participant. The participant can execute PSE trades and non-PSE trades of

lodged equity securities through the PDTC system. All matched transactions in the PSE

trading system will be fed through the SCCP, and into the PDTC system. Once it is

determined on the settlement date (T+3) that there are adequate securities in the securitiessettlement account of the participant-seller and adequate cleared funds in the settlement bank

account of the participant-buyer, the PSE trades are automatically settled in the SCCP Central

Clearing and Central Settlement system, in accordance with the SCCP and PDTC Rules and

Operating Procedures. Once settled, the beneficial ownership of the securities is transferred

from the participant-seller to the participant-buyer without the physical transfer of stock

certificates covering the traded securities.

The difference between the depository and the registry would be on the recording of

ownership of the shares in the issuing corporations‘ books. In the depository set -up, shares

are simply immobilized, wherein customers‘ certificates are cancelled and a confirmation

advice is issued in the name of PCD Nominee to confirm new balances of the shares lodged

with the PDTC. Transfers among/between broker and/or custodian accounts, as the case may be, will only be made within the book-entry system of the PDTC. However, as far as the

issuing corporation is concerned, the underlying certificates are in the PCD Nominee‘s name.

In the registry set-up, settlement and recording of ownership of traded securities will already

be directly made in the corresponding issuing company‘s transfer agents‘ books or system.

Likewise, recording will already be at the beneficiary level (whether it be a client or a

registered custodian holding securities for its clients), thereby removing from the broker its

current ―de facto‖ custodianship role.

Amended Rule on Lodgment of Securities

On June 24, 2009, the PSE apprised all listed companies and market participants through

Memorandum No. 2009-0320 that commencing on July 1, 2009, as a condition for the listing

and trading of the securities of an applicant company, the applicant company shall

electronically lodge its registered securities with the PDTC or any other entity duly

authorized by the SEC, without any jumbo or mother certificate in compliance with the

requirements of Section 43 of the SRC. In compliance with the foregoing requirement, actual

listing and trading of securities on the scheduled listing date shall take effect only after

submission by the applicant company of the documentary requirements stated in the amended

rule on Lodgment of Securities of the PSE.

Pursuant to the said amendment, the PDTC issued an implementing procedure in support

thereof to wit:

For a new company to be listed at the PSE as of July 1, 2009, the usual procedure

will be observed but the transfer agent of the company shall no longer issue a

certificate to PCD Nominee but shall issue a Registry Confirmation Advice, which

shall be the basis for the PDTC to credit the holdings of the depository participants on

the listing date.

On the other hand, for an existing listed company, the PDTC shall wait for the advice

of the transfer agent that it is ready to accept surrender of PCD Nominee jumbo

certificates and upon such advice the PDTC shall surrender all PCD Nominee jumbo

certificates to the transfer agent for cancellation. The transfer agent shall issue a

Registry Confirmation Advice to PDTC evidencing the total number of sharesregistered in the name of PCD Nominee in the listed company‘s registry as of

confirmation date.



Issuance of Stock Certificates for Certificated Shares

On or after the listing of the shares on the PSE, any beneficial owner of the shares may apply

with PDTC through his broker or custodian-participant for a withdrawal from the book-entry

system and return to the conventional paper-based settlement. If a shareholder wishes to

withdraw his shareholdings from the PDTC system, the PDTC has a procedure of upliftment

under which PCD Nominee will transfer back to the shareholder the legal title to the shares

lodged. The uplifting shareholder shall follow the Rules and Operating Procedures of the

PDTC for the uplifting of the shares lodged under the name of the PCD Nominee. The

transfer agent shall prepare and send a Registry Confirmation Advice to the PDTC covering

the new number of shares lodged under PCD Nominee. The expenses for upliftment are on

the account of the uplifting shareholder.

Upon the issuance of stock certificates for the shares in the name of the person applying for

upliftment, such shares shall be deemed to be withdrawn from the PDTC book-entry

settlement system, and trading on such shares will follow the normal process for settlement of

certificated securities. The expenses for upliftment of the shares into certificated securitieswill be charged to the person applying for upliftment. Pending completion of the upliftment

process, the beneficial interest in the shares covered by the application for upliftment is

frozen and no trading and book-entry settlement will be permitted until the relevant stock

certificates in the name of the person applying for upliftment shall have been issued by the

relevant company‘s transfer agent.



PHILIPPINE TAXATION

The following is a discussion of the material Philippine tax consequences of the acquisition,

ownership and disposition of the Common Shares. This general description does not purport

to be a comprehensive description of the Philippine tax aspects of the Common Shares and no

information is provided regarding the tax aspects of acquiring, owning, holding or disposing

of the Common Shares under applicable tax laws of other applicable jurisdictions and the

specific Philippine tax consequence in light of particular situations of acquiring, owning,

holding and disposing of the Common Shares in such other jurisdictions. This discussion is

based upon laws, regulations, rulings, and income tax conventions (treaties) in effect at the

date of this Prospectus. The tax treatment applicable to a holder of the Common Shares may

vary depending upon such holder‘s particular situation, and certain holders may be subject to

special rules not discussed below. This summary does not purport to address all tax aspects

that may be important to a holder of the Common Shares. Prospective investors of the

Common Shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax

consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Common Shares, including the

applicability and effect of any local or foreign tax laws.

As used in this section, the term ―resident alien‖ refers to an individual whose residence is

within the Philippines and who is not a citizen of the Philippines; a ―non-resident alien‖ is an

individual whose residence is not within the Philippines and who is not a citizen of the

Philippines. A non-resident alien who is actually within the Philippines for an aggregate

period of mor e than 180 days during any calendar year is considered a ―non-resident alien

doing business in the Philippines.‖ A non-resident alien who is actually within the Philippines

for an aggregate period of 180 days or less during any calendar year is considered a ―non-

resident alien not doing business in the Philippines.‖ A ―resident foreign corporation‖ is a

non-Philippine corporation engaged in trade or business within the Philippines; and a ―non-

resident foreign corporation‖ is a non-Philippine corporation not engaged in trade or businesswithin the Philippines. The term ―dividends‖ under this section refers to cash or property

dividends. ―Tax Code‖ means the Philippine National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as

amended.

Taxes on Dividends on the Shares

Individual Philippine citizens and resident aliens are subject to a final tax on dividends

derived from the Common Shares at the rate of 10%, which tax shall be withheld by the

Company.

Non-resident alien individuals engaged in trade or business in the Philippines are subject to a

final withholding tax on dividends derived from the Common Shares at the rate of 20% on thegross amount thereof, subject to applicable preferential tax rates under tax treaties in force

between the Philippines and the country of domicile or residence of such non-resident alien

individual. A non-resident alien individual not engaged in trade or business in the Philippines

is subject to a final withholding tax on dividends derived from the Common Shares at the rate

of 25% of the gross amount, subject to applicable preferential tax rates under tax treaties in

force between the Philippines and the country of domicile or residence of such non-resident

alien individual.

The term ―non-resident holder‖ means a holder of the Common Shares:

who is an individual who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the Philippines or an

entity which is a foreign corporation not engaged in trade or business in the

Philippines; and



should a tax treaty be applicable, whose ownership of the Common Shares is not

effectively connected with a fixed base or a permanent establishment in the

Philippines.

Dividends derived by domestic corporations (i.e. corporations created or organized in thePhilippines or under its laws) and resident foreign corporations from the Common Shares

shall not be subject to tax.

Dividends received from a domestic corporation by a non-resident foreign corporation are

generally subject to final withholding tax at the rate of 30%, subject to applicable preferential

tax rates under tax treaties in force between the Philippines and the country of domicile of

such non-resident foreign corporation. The 30% rate for dividends paid to non-resident

foreign corporations with countries of domicile having no tax treaty with the Philippines may

be reduced to a special 15% rate if:

the country in which the non-resident foreign corporation is domiciled imposes no

taxes on foreign sourced dividends; or

the country in which the non-resident foreign corporation is domiciled allows a credit

against the tax due from the non-resident foreign corporation for taxes deemed to

have been paid in the Philippines equivalent to 15%.

The BIR has prescribed, through an administrative issuance, procedures for the availment of

tax treaty relief. The application for tax treaty relief has to be filed with the BIR by the non-

resident holder of the Common Shares (or its duly authorized representative) prior to the first

taxable event, or prior to the first and only time the income tax payor is required to withhold

the tax thereon or should have withheld taxes thereon had the transaction been subject to tax.

The requirements for a tax treaty relief application in respect of dividends are set out in the

applicable tax treaty and BIR Form No. 0901-D. These include proof of tax residence in the

country that is a party to the tax treaty. Proof of residence consists of a consularized

certification from the tax authority of the country of residence of the non-resident holder of

Common Shares which states that the non-resident holder is a tax resident of such country

under the applicable tax treaty. If the non-resident holder of Common Shares is a juridical

entity, authenticated certified true copies of its articles of incorporation or association issued

by the proper government authority should also be submitted to the BIR in addition to the

certification of its residence from the tax authority of its country of residence.

If tax at the regular rate is withheld by the Company instead of the reduced rates applicable

under a treaty, the non-resident holder of the Common Shares may file a claim for refundfrom the BIR. However, because the refund process in the Philippines requires the filing of an

administrative claim and the submission of supporting information, and may also involve the

filing of a judicial appeal, it may be impractical to pursue obtaining such a refund. Moreover,

in view of the requirement of the BIR that an application for tax treaty relief be filed prior to

the first taxable event as previously stated, the non-resident holder of Common Shares may

not be able to successfully pursue a claim for refund if such an application is not filed before

such deadline.

Stock dividends distributed pro rata to any holder of shares are not subject to Philippine

income tax. However, the sale, exchange or disposition of shares received as share dividends

by the holder is subject to either capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax (if the sale is

made outside the facilities of the PSE) or stock transaction tax (if the sale is made through the

facilities of the PSE).

dividends and during the whole of its prior taxable year, at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the

voting shares of the paying corporation were owned by the recipient corporation. Notwithstanding the

rates provided under the Republic of the Philippines-United States Treaty, residents of the United States

may avail of the 15% withholding tax rate under the tax-sparing clause of the Tax Code provided certain

conditions are met.

(8 Capital gains are taxable only in the country where the seller is a resident, provided the shares are not

those of a corporation, the assets of which consist principally of real property situated in the

Philippines, in which case the sale is subject to Philippine taxes.

(9) Under the tax treaty between the Philippines and Germany, capital gains from the alienation of shares of

a Philippine corporation may be taxed in the Philippines irrespective of the nature of the assets of the

Philippine corporation. Tax rates are 5% on the net capital gains realized during the taxable year not in

excess of ₱ 100,000 and 10% on the net capital gains realized during the taxable year in excess of ₱

100,000.

(10) Under the tax treaty between the Philippines and the United Kingdom, capital gains on the sale of the

shares of Philippine corporations are subject to tax only in the country where the seller is a resident,irrespective of the nature of the assets of the Philippine corporation.



In order for an exemption under a tax treaty to be recognized, an application for tax treaty

relief on capital gains tax on the sale of shares must be filed by the income recipient before

the deadline for the filing of the documentary stamp tax return, which is the fifth day from the

end of the month when the document transferring ownership was executed.

The requirements for a tax treaty relief application in respect of capital gains tax on the sale of

shares are set out in the applicable tax treaty and BIR Form No. 0901-C. These include proof

of residence in the country that is a party to the tax treaty. Proof of residence consists of a

consularized certification from the tax authority of the country of residence of the seller of

shares which provides that the seller is a resident of such country under the applicable tax

treaty. If the seller is a juridical entity, authenticated certified true copies of its articles of

incorporation or association issued by the proper government authority should also be

submitted to the BIR in addition to the certification of its residence from the tax authority of

its country of residence.

Sale, Exchange or Disposition of Shares through an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)

The sale, barter, exchange or other disposition through an IPO of shares in closely held

corporations is subject to an IPO Tax at the rates below based on the gross selling price or

gross value in money of the shares sold, bartered, exchanged or otherwise disposed in

accordance with the proportion of shares sold, bartered, exchanged or otherwise disposed to

the total outstanding shares after the listing in the local stock exchange:

Up to 25% .................................................................................................. 4%

Over 25% but not over 33 1⁄3% .................................................................. 2%

Over 33 1⁄3% .............................................................................................. 1%

A ―closely held corporation‖ means any corporation at least 50% in value of outstanding

capital shares or at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares

entitled to vote is owned directly or indirectly by or for not more than 20 individuals.

The IPO Tax for the Offer shall be paid by the Company.

Sale, Exchange or Disposition of Shares after the IPO

Capi tal gai ns tax, if sale was made outside the PSE

Net capital gains realized by a resident or non-resident other than a dealer in securities during

each taxable year from the sale, exchange or disposition of shares outside the facilities of thePSE, unless an applicable treaty exempts such gains from tax or provides for preferential

rates, are subject to tax as follows: 5.0% on gains not exceeding ₱100,000 and 10.0% on

gains over ₱100,000. An application for tax treaty relief must be filed (and approved) by the

Philippine tax authorities to obtain an exemption under a tax treaty. Such application must be

filed before the deadline for the filing of the documentary stamp tax return. Otherwise, the tax

treaty exemption cannot be availed of. The transfer of shares shall not be recorded in the

books of the Company unless the BIR certifies that the capital gains and documentary stamp

taxes relating to the sale or transfer have been paid or, where applicable, tax treaty relief has

been confirmed by the International Tax Affairs Division of the BIR in respect of the capital

gains tax or other conditions have been met.



Taxes on transfer of shar es li sted and traded at the PSE

A sale or other disposition of shares through the facilities of the PSE by a resident or a non-

resident holder, other than a dealer in securities, is subject to a stock transaction tax at the rate

of 0.5% of the gross selling price or gross value in money of the shares sold or otherwise

disposed, unless an applicable treaty exempts such sale from said tax. This tax is required to

be collected by and paid to the Government by the selling stockbroker on behalf of his client.

The stock transaction tax is classified as a percentage tax in lieu of a capital gains tax. Under

certain tax treaties, the exemptions from capital gains tax discussed herein may not be

applicable to stock transaction tax.

In addition, VAT of 12.0% is imposed on the commission earned by the PSE-registered

broker, and is generally passed on to the client.

The PSE issued Memorandum CN-No. 2012-0046 dated August 22, 2012, which provides

that immediately after December 31, 2012, the SEC shall impose a trading suspension for a

period of not more than six months, on shares of a listed company that has not complied withthe Rule on Minimum Public Ownership (―MPO‖) which requires listed companies to

maintain a minimum percentage of listed securities held by the public at 10% of the listed

companies‘ issued and outstanding shares at all times. Consequently, the sale of such listed

company‘s shares during the trading suspension may be effected only outside the trading

system of the PSE and shall be subject to capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax.

Furthermore, if the fair market value of the shares of stock sold is greater than the

consideration or the selling price, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares

exceeds the selling price shall be deemed a gift that is subject to donor‘s tax under Section

100 of the Tax Code.

On November 7, 2012, the BIR issued Revenue Regulations No. 16-2012 which provides that

the sale, barter, transfer, and/or assignment of shares of listed companies that fail to meet the

MPO requirement after December 31, 2012 will be subject to capital gains tax and

documentary stamp tax. It also requires publicly listed companies to submit public ownership

reports to the BIR within 15 days after the end of each quarter.

Prospective purchasers of the Offer Shares should obtain their own tax advice in respect of

their investment in relation to these developments.

Documentary Stamp Taxes on Shares

The original issue of shares is subject to documentary stamp tax of ₱1.00 on each ₱200 par

value, or fraction thereof, of the shares issued. On the other hand, the transfer of shares issubject to a documentary stamp tax at a rate of ₱0.75 on each ₱200, or fractional part thereof,

of the par value of the Common Shares. The documentary stamp tax is imposed on the person

making, signing, issuing, accepting or transferring the document and is thus payable either by

the vendor or the purchaser of the Common Shares.

However, the sale, barter or exchange of Common Shares should they be listed and traded

through the PSE are exempt from documentary stamp tax. In addition, the borrowing and

lending of securities executed under the securities borrowing and lending program of a

registered exchange, or in accordance with regulations prescribed by the appropriate

regulatory authority, are likewise exempt from documentary stamp tax. However, the

securities borrowing and lending agreement should be duly covered by a master securities

borrowing and lending agreement acceptable to the appropriate regulatory authority, andshould be duly registered and approved by the BIR.



Estate and Gift Taxes

The transfer of the Common Shares upon the death of a registered holder to his heirs by way

of succession, whether such an individual was a citizen of the Philippines or an alien,

regardless of residence, will be subject to Philippine estate tax at progressive rates ranging

from 5% to 20% if the net estate is over ₱200,000.

Individual registered holders, whether or not citizens or residents of the Philippines, who

transfer shares by way of gift or donation, will be liable for Philippine donor‘s tax on such

transfers at progressive rates ranging from 2% to 15% if the total net gifts made during the

calendar year exceed ₱100,000. The rate of tax with respect to net gifts made to a stranger

(one who is not a brother, sister, spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant or relative by

consanguinity within the fourth degree of relationship) is a flat rate of 30%. Corporate

registered holders are also liable for Philippine donor‘s tax on such transfers, but the rate of

tax with respect to net gifts made by corporate registered holders is always at a flat rate of

30%.

Estate and gift taxes will not be collected in respect of intangible personal property, such as

shares, (1) if the deceased at the time of death, or the donor at the time of donation, was a

citizen and resident of a foreign country which at the time of his death or donation did not

impose a transfer tax of any character in respect of intangible personal property of citizens of

the Philippines not residing in that foreign country, or (2) if the laws of the foreign country of

which the deceased or the donor was a citizen and resident at the time of his death or donation

allow a similar exemption from transfer or death taxes of every character or description in

respect of intangible personal property owned by citizens of the Philippines not residing in

that foreign country.

Corporate Income Tax

In general, a tax of 30% is imposed upon the taxable net income of a domestic corporation

from all sources (within and outside the Philippines) pursuant to the Tax Code.



PHILIPPINE FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP CONTROLS

Under current BSP regulations, an investment in listed securities (such as the Common

Shares) must be registered with the BSP if the foreign exchange needed to service the

repatriation of capital and the remittance of dividends, profits and earnings derived from such

shares is to be sourced from the Philippine banking system. If the foreign exchange required

to service capital repatriation or dividend remittance is sourced outside the Philippine banking

system, registration is not required. Current BSP Circular No. 471 (Series of 2005), as

amended, however, subjects foreign exchange dealers and money changers to R.A. No. 9160

(the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended) and requires these nonbank sources of

foreign exchange to require foreign exchange buyers to submit supporting documents in

connection with their application to purchase foreign exchange for purposes of capital

repatriation and remittance of dividends.

The application for registration may be done directly with the BSP or through a custodian

bank duly designated by the foreign investor. A custodian bank may be an authorized agent bank 1 or an offshore banking unit registered with the BSP to act as such and appointed by the

investor to register the investment, hold shares for the investor, and represent the investor in

all necessary actions in connection with his investments in the Philippines. Applications for

registration must be accompanied by: (i) purchase invoice, subscription agreement and proof

of listing on the PSE (either or both); (ii) credit advice or bank certificate showing the amount

of foreign currency inwardly remitted and converted into Pesos through an authorized agent

bank; and (iii) transfer instructions from the stockbroker or dealer, as the case may be.

Upon registration of the investment, proceeds of divestments, or dividends of registered

investments are repatriable or remittable immediately and in full through the Philippine

banking system, net of applicable tax, without need of BSP approval. Capital repatriation of

investments in listed securities is permitted upon presentation of the BSP registration

document and the broker‘s sales invoice, at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of

purchase of the foreign exchange from the banking system. Remittance of dividends is

permitted upon presentation of: (1) the BSP registration document; (2) the cash dividends

notice from the PSE and the Philippine Central Depository printout of cash dividend payment

or computation of interest earned; (3) copy of secretary‘s sworn statement on the board

resolution covering the dividend declaration and (4) detailed computation of the amount

applied for in the format prescribed by the BSP. Pending reinvestment or repatriation,

divestment proceeds, as well as dividends of registered investments, may be lodged

temporarily in interest-bearing deposit accounts with any authorized agent bank. Interest

earned thereon, net of taxes, may also be remitted in full. Remittance of divestment proceeds

or dividends of registered investments may be reinvested in the Philippines. The re-investments shall be registered with the BSP or the investor‘s custodian bank if the foreign

exchange needed to service the repatriation of capital and the remittance of dividends, profits

and earnings derived from such re-investments is to be sourced from the Philippine banking

system.

The foregoing is subject to the power of the BSP, through the Monetary Board, with the

approval of the President of the Philippines, to suspend temporarily or restrict the availability

of foreign exchange, require licensing of foreign exchange transactions or require delivery of

The term ―authorized agent bank‖ refers to all ca tegories of banks, except offshore banking units, dulylicensed by the BSP.



foreign exchange to the BSP or its designee during an exchange crisis, when an exchange

crisis is imminent, or in times of national emergency.

The registration with the BSP of all foreign investments in any Common Shares received in

exchange for Offer Shares shall be the responsibility of the foreign investor.

Foreign Ownership Controls

The Company does not currently own real estate. However, if the Company acquires real

estate in the future, it would be subject to nationality restrictions found under the Philippine

Constitution and other laws limiting land ownership to Philippine Nationals. The term

―Philippine National‖ as defined under the R.A. No. 7042, as amended, shall mean a citizen

of the Philippines, a domestic partnership or association wholly-owned by citizens of the

Philippines or a corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines of which at least

60.0% of the capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote is owned and held by citizens of

the Philippines, or a corporation organized abroad and registered to do business in the

Philippines under the Philippine Corporation Code of which 60.0% of the capital stockoutstanding and entitled to vote is wholly-owned by Filipinos or a trustee of funds for pension

or other employee retirement or separation benefits, where the trustee is a Philippine National

and at least 60.0% of the fund will accrue to the benefit of Philippine Nationals.

As of the date of this Prospectus, approximately 100% of the total outstanding capital stock of

the Company is held by Philippine Nationals.



LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters as to Philippine law relating to the Offer will be passed upon by

Martinez Vergara Gonzalez & Serrano, legal counsel to the Company, and Romulo Mabanta

Buenaventura Sayoc & de los Angeles, legal counsel to the Joint Lead Underwriters.

Each of the foregoing legal counsel has neither shareholdings in the Company nor any right,

whether legally enforceable or not, to nominate persons or to subscribe for securities in the

Company. None of the legal counsel will receive any direct or indirect interest in the

Company or in any securities thereof (including options, warrants or rights thereto) pursuant

to or in connection with the Offer.

independent auditor in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for

those calendar years.

The fees presented above include out-of-pocket expenses incidental to the independent

auditors’ work, the amounts of which do not exceed 15% of the agreed -upon engagement fees.

Except for the abovementioned services, the independent auditors provided no other type of

services.

In relation to the audit of the Company‘s annual financial statements, the Company‘s

Corporate Governance Manual, which was approved by the Board of Directors on November

25, 2013, provides that the audit committee shall, among other activities (i) evaluate

significant issues reported by the external auditors in relation to the adequacy, efficiency and

effectiveness of policies, controls, processes and activities of the Company; (ii) ensure that

as external auditors; and (iii) ensure the compliance of the Company with acceptable auditing

and accounting standards and regulations.

committee, with respect to an external audit:

Reviews the independent auditors audit plan — discusses scope, staffing, relianceupon management and the internal audit department, general audit approach, and

coverage provided to any significant areas of concern that the audit committee may

have.

Reviews and confirms the independence of the external auditors on relationships by

obtaining statements from the auditors on the relationships between the auditors and

the Company, including non-audit services, and discussing the relationships with the

auditors.

Prior to publishing the year-end earnings, discusses the results of the audit with the

independent auditors.

On an annual basis, the audit committee reviews and discusses with the independent

auditors all significant relationships they have with the Company that could impair

the auditors‘ independence.

On a regular basis, the audit committee meets separately with the external auditors to

discuss any matters that the committee or auditors believe should be discussed

privately.

2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS

(a)

Effective in 2013 that are Relevant to the Company

In 2013, the Company adopted for the first time the following new PFRS, revisions,amendments and annual improvements thereto that are relevant to the Company and

effective for financial statements for the annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 or January 1, 2013:

PAS 1 (Amendment) : Presentation of Financial Statements -Presentation of Items of OtherComprehensive Income

PAS 19 (Revised) : Employee BenefitsPFRS 7 (Amendment) : Financial Instruments: Disclosures –

Offsetting Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities

PFRS 13 : Fair Value Measurement Annual Inprovements : Annual Improvements to PFRS

(2009 – 2011 Cycle)

Discussed below are the relevant information about these new, revised and amendedstandards.

(i) PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation - Presentation of Items of OtherComprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendment requires anentity to group items presented in other comprehensive income into those that,in accordance with other PFRS: (a) will not be reclassified subsequently toprofit or loss, and, (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss whenspecific conditions are met. Management determined that the amendment didnot significantly affect the financial statements as its comprehensive income is

only comprised of actuarial gains and losses on retirement benefit obligation which are not reclassified to profit or loss.

(ii)

PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). Therevision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughoutthe standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows:

•

eliminates the corridor approach under the existing guidance of PAS 19and requires an entity to recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising inthe reporting period;

• streamlines the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilities

resulting in the disaggregation of changes into three main components ofservice costs, net interest on net defined benefit obligation or asset, andremeasurement; and,

• enhances disclosure requirements, including information about thecharacteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities, throughparticipation in those plans are exposed to.

F-226



- 4 -

The Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) resulted in the retrospectiveadjustment of the post-employment benefit obligation to record the previouslyunrecognized net actuarial losses with the corresponding recognition of reservein equity for such net actuarial losses including those previously recognized inprofit or loss and accumulated in Retained Earnings.

The restatement of certain line items in the statements of financial position asat December 31, 2012 and the corresponding figures as at January 1, 2012 as aresult of the above adjustments are summarized below.

(iii)

PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendmentrequires qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and netamounts of recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance withPAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation . The amendment also requiresdisclosure of information about recognized financial instruments which are

subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, evenif they are not set-off in the statement of financial position, including those

which do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 andamounts related to a financial collateral. These disclosures allow financialstatement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of nettingarrangements, including rights of set-off associated with recognized financialassets and financial liabilities on the entity’s statement of financial position.

The adoption of this amendment did not result in any significant changes inthe Company’s disclosures on its financial statements as it has no masternetting arrangements; however, potential offsetting arrangements are disclosedin Note 21.3.

Other than the additional disclosures presented in Note 21.3, the application ofthis new standard had no significant impact on the amounts recognized in thefinancial statements.

(iv)

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This newstandard clarifies the definition of fair value and provides guidance andenhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The requirements underthis standard do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provideguidance on how it should be applied to both financial instrument items andnon-financial items for which other PFRS require or permit fair valuemeasurements or disclosures about fair value measurements, except in certaincircumstances. The amendment applies prospectively from annual period

beginning January 1, 2013, hence, disclosure requirements need not bepresented in the comparative information in the first year of application.Nevertheless, other than the additional disclosure presented in Note 21, theapplication of this new standards had no significant effect on the amountrecognized in the financial statements.

F-228



- 6 -

(v)

2009 - 2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvement to PFRS(2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS. Amongthose improvements, the following are relevant to the Company:

(a)

PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of theRequirements for Comparative Information . The amendment clarifies that a

statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period(third statement of financial position) is required when an entity applies anaccounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement orreclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in thethird statement of financial position. The amendment specifies that otherthan disclosure of certain specified information in accordance with PAS 8related notes to the third statement of financial position are not requiredto be presented.

Consequent to the Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) in thecurrent year which resulted in retrospective restatement of the prior years’financial statements, the Company has presented a third statement of

financial position as at January 1, 2012 without the related notes, exceptfor the disclosure requirements of PAS 8.

(b) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of Servicing Equipment . The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistency in theclassification requirements for servicing equipment which resulted inclassifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used formore than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-byequipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plantand equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant andequipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory. This amendmenthad no impact on the Company’s financial statements since it has been

recognizing those servicing equipment in accordance with the recognitioncriteria under PAS 16.

(c)

PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments – Presentation – Tax Effect ofDistributions to Holders of Equity Instruments . The amendment clarifies thatthe consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of anequity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall beaccounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income taxrelating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized inprofit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equitytransaction is recognized in equity. This amendment had no effect on theCompany’s financial statements as it has been recognizing the effect of

distributions to holders of equity instruments and transaction costs of anequity transaction in accordance with PAS 12.

F-229



- 7 -

(b)

Effective in 2013 that are not Relevant to the Company

The following amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 but are not relevant to the Company’s financial statements:

PPRS 1 (Amendment) : First-time Adoption of PFRS –

Government LoansPFRS 10 : Consolidated Financial Statements

PFRS 11 : Joint ArrangementsPFRS 12 : Disclosure of Interests in Other EntitiesPAS 27 (Revised) : Separate Financial StatementsPAS 28 (Revised) : Investments in Associate and Joint VenturePFRS 10, PFRS 11 and

of a Surface Mine

(c)

Effective Subsequent to 2013 but not Adopted Early

There are new PFRS, amendments, annual improvements and interpretations toexisting standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2013. Management hasinitially determined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply inaccordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial statements:

(i)

PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - EmployeeContributions (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies that ifthe amount of the contributions from employees or third parties is dependent onthe number of years of service, an entity shall attribute the contributions toperiods of service using the same attribution method (i.e., either using the plan’s

contribution formula or on a straight-line basis) for the gross benefit.Management has initially determined that this amendment will have no impacton the Company’s financial statements since there are no plans of futurecontribution from third parties.

F-230



- 8 -

(ii)

PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendmentprovides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria foroffsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right of set-offis required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; in theevent of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and

all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principle behind netsettlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement system that wouldsatisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company does not expect thisamendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

(iii)

PAS 36 (Amendment), Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non- financial Assets (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies thatthe requirements for the disclosure of information about the recoverable amountof assets or cash-generating units is limited only to the recoverable amount ofimpaired assets that is based on fair value less cost of disposal. It alsointroduces an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used indetermining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount based on fair

value less cost of disposal is determined using a present value technique.Management will reflect in its subsequent years’ financial statements the changesarising from this relief on disclosure requirements.

(iv)

PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novationof Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (effective January 1, 2014). Theamendment provides some relief from the requirements on hedge accounting byallowing entities to continue the use of hedge accounting when a derivative isnovated to a clearing counterparty resulting in termination or expiration of theoriginal hedging instrument as a consequence of laws and regulations, or theintroduction thereof. As the Company neither enters into transactions involvingderivative instruments nor it applies hedge accounting, the amendment will not

have any impact on the financial statements.

(v)

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective from January 1, 2015). This is the first part of a new standard on financial instrumentsthat will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement , in itsentirety. The first phase of the standard was issued on November 2009 andOctober 2010 and contains new requirements and guidance for the classification,measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. Itrequires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories:amortized cost or fair value. Debt instruments that are held within a businessmodel whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows that representsolely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are

generally measured at amortized cost. All other debt instruments and equityinstruments are measured at fair value. In addition, PFRS 9 allows entities tomake an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value ofan equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financialassets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not theyare closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation fromthe host contract.

F-231



- 9 -

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements whichinclude amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcationof embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case where the fair valueoption is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to theliability’s credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income rather than inprofit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.

In November 2013, the IASB has published amendments to InternationalFinancial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 that contain new chapter and model onhedge accounting that provides significant improvements principally by aligninghedge accounting more closely with the risk management activities undertakenby entities when hedging their financial and non-financial risk exposures. Theamendment also now requires changes in the fair value of an entity’s own debtinstruments caused by changes in its own credit quality to be recognized in othercomprehensive income rather in profit or loss. It also includes the removal ofthe January 1, 2015 mandatory effective date of IFRS 9.

To date, the remaining chapter of IFRS 9 and PFRS 9 dealing with impairment

methodology is still being completed. Further, the IASB is currently discussingsome limited modifications to address certain application issues regardingclassification of financial assets and to provide other considerations indetermining business model.

The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until its effectivedate. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 on thefinancial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct a comprehensivestudy of the potential impact of this standard prior to its mandatory adoptiondate to assess the impact of all changes.

Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2010-2012

Cycle) and PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number ofPFRS, which are effective for annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Among those improvements, the following amendments are relevant to theCompany but management does not expect a material impact on the Company’sfinancial statements:

Annual Improvements to PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle)

(a)

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification ofServicing Equipment . The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistencyin the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resultedin classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used for

more than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-byequipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plantand equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant andequipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory. This amendmenthad no impact on the Company’s financial statements since it has beenrecognizing those servicing equipment in accordance with the recognitioncriteria under PAS 16.

(b)

PAS 24 (Amendment), Related Party Disclosures. The amendment clarifiesthe entity providing key management services to a reporting entity isdeemed to be a related party of the latter. It also requires and clarifies thatthe amounts incurred by the reporting entity for key managementpersonnel services that are provided by a separate management entityshould be disclosed in the financial statements, and not the amounts of

compensation paid or payable by the key management entity to itsemployees or directors.

(c)

PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement . The amendment, througha revision only in the basis of conclusion of PFRS 13, clarifies that issuingPFRS 13 and amending certain provisions of PFRS 9 and PAS 39 relatedto discounting of financial instruments, did not remove the ability tomeasure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rateon an undiscounted basis, when the effect of not discounting isimmaterial.


PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement. The amendment clarifies that thescope of the exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assetsand financial liabilities on a net basis (the portfolio exception) applies to allcontracts within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with PAS 39 orPFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets orfinancial liabilities as defined in PAS 32.

2.3 Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractualterms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated and

effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financialassets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturityinvestments and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Financial assets are assigned tothe different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purposefor which the investments were acquired.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. Allfinancial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value plusany directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial assets are generally categorized as loans and receivables and arepresented as Cash and Cash Equivalents and Trade and Other Receivables in the

statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand,demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to knownamounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company providesmoney, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables.

They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after theend of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.

F-233



- 11 -

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method, less impairment losses, if any. Impairment loss is provided when there isobjective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it inaccordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment lossis determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present valueof estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred),

discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate or current effective interestrate determined under the contract if the loan has a variable interest rate.

All income and expenses, excluding impairment losses and foreign currency exchangelosses or gains and other gains or losses that relate to operating activities, relating tofinancial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented as part of Finance Costsor Finance Income in the statement of comprehensive income.

Non-compounding interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assetsare recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carryingamount of financial assets is measured.

The financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flowsfrom the financial instruments expire and substantially all of the risks and rewards ofownership have been transferred to another party.

2.4 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determinedusing the weighted-average method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the costof raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based onnormal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributableto acquisition, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are notsubsequently recoverable from taxing authorities.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, lessthe estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Netrealizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost.

2.5 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, except land which is stated at fair value, are stated at costless accumulated depreciation, and any impairment in value.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringingthe asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major

improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance arecharged to expense as incurred.

Following initial recognition of at cost, land is carried at revalued amounts which are thefair values at the date of the revaluation, as determined by independent appraisers, less andany accumulated impairment losses.

Revalued amounts are fair market values determined based on appraisals by externalprofessional valuer once every two years or more frequently if market factors indicate amaterial change in fair value.

F-234



- 12 -

Any revaluation surplus is recognized in other comprehensive income and credited to theRevaluation Reserves account in the statement of changes in equity. Any revaluationdeficit directly offsetting a previous surplus in the same asset is charged to othercomprehensive income to the extent of any revaluation surplus in equity relating to thisasset and the remaining deficit, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Upon disposal ofland, amounts included in Revaluation Reserves relating to them are transferred to

Retained Earnings.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of theassets as follows:

Buildings 15 yearsMachinery and equipment 10 yearsLand improvements 10 years

Transportation and delivery equipment 5 years

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. Nofurther charge for depreciation is made in respect of those accounts.

Construction-in-progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing cost (see Note 2.15) and otherdirect costs. The account is not depreciated until such time that the assets are completedand available for use.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if theasset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.13).

The residual values and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment arereviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An item of property, plant and equipment, including the related accumulated depreciationand impairment losses, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economicbenefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arisingon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the year theitem is derecognized.

2.6 Prepayments and Other Assets

Prepayments and other current assets pertain to other resources controlled by theCompany as a result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements whenit is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a

cost or value that can be measured reliably.

Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expectedto flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period or in thenormal operating cycle of the business, if longer, are classified as non-current assets.

F-235



- 13 -

2.7 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities, which include interest-bearing loans, trade and other payables(except tax related payables), due to related parties and dividends payable, are recognized

when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Allinterest-related charges incurred on financial liability that relate to financing activities and

are not capitalized are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the caption FinanceCosts in the statement of comprehensive income.

Interest-bearing loans are raised for support of short-term or long-term funding ofoperations. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemptionand direct issue costs, are charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis using the effectiveinterest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent thatthese are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Trade and other payables, due to related parties and dividends payable are recognizedinitially at their fair values and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using effectiveinterest method for maturities beyond one year, less settlement payments.

Dividends payable to shareholders are recognized as financial liabilities upon declarationby the Company.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled withinone year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle ofthe business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defersettlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities.

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only whenthe obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. The

difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and theconsideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss.

2.8 Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in thestatement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off therecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assetand settle the liability simultaneously.

2.9 Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow ofeconomic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of theoutflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal orconstructive obligation that has resulted from past events.

F-236



- 14 -

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the presentobligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period,including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where thereare a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required insettlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time

value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values

using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate.

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of presentobligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannotbe measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly,possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet therecognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognizedin the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company canbe virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized

as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision.

2.10 Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue comprises revenue from the sale of goods measured by reference to the fair valueof consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods supplied, excluding

value-added tax (VAT) and trade discounts.

Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it isprobable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred orto be incurred can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria mustalso be met before revenue is recognized:

(a) Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of thegoods have passed to the buyer. This is generally when the customer has takenundisputed delivery of goods.

(b) Interest income – Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account theeffective yield on the asset.

Costs and expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income uponreceipt of goods and/or utilization of service or at the date they are incurred. Financecosts are reported on an accrual basis, except capitalized borrowing costs which areincluded as part of the cost of the related qualifying assets (see Notes 2.5 and 2.15).

F-237



- 15 -

2.11 Leases

The Company accounts for its leases as follows:

(a)

Company as Lessee

Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefitsof ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments(net of any incentive received from the lessor) are recognized as expense in profit orloss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs andmaintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

(b)

Company as Lessor

Leases which do not transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits ofownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operatingleases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on thesubstance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfillment of thearrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangementconveys a right to use the asset.

2.12 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencytransactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates

which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and

from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies that arise from financing activities are presented as partof Finance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.13 Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The Company’s property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets are testedfor impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount may not be recoverable.

For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for whichthere are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets

are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generatingunit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amounts which is the higher of its fair valueless costs to sell and its value-in-use. In determining value-in-use, management estimatesthe expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines the suitableinterest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previouslyrecognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

F-238

2.14 Employee Benefits

The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through a defined benefitplan, as well as a defined contribution plan.

(a) Defined Benefits Plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount ofpost-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usuallydependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legalobligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with theCompany, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have beenacquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-termbenefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’spost-employment defined benefit pension plan covers all regular full-time employees.

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefitplan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting

period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculatedannually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting theestimated future cash outflows using a discount rate derived from the interest ratesof a zero coupon government bonds as published by Philippine Dealing andExchange Corporation, that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits

will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of therelated post-employment liability.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the return on plan assets(excluding amount included in net interest) are reflected immediately in the

statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in othercomprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Net interest is calculatedby applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period, taking account of anychanges in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the period as a result ofcontributions and benefit payments. Net interest is reported as part of FinanceCosts or Finance Income account in the statement of profit or loss.

Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period of a planamendment.

(b) Defined Contribution Plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which the Companypays fixed contributions into an independent entity. The Company has no legal orconstructive obligations to pay further contributions after payment of the fixedcontribution. The contributions recognized in respect of defined contribution plansare expensed as they fall due. Liabilities and assets may be recognized if underpaymentor prepayment has occurred and are included in current liabilities or current assets asthey are normally of a short-term nature.

F-239



- 17 -

(c)

Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Companybefore the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntaryredundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes terminationbenefits at the earlier of when it can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefits and

when it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of PAS 37,Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets , and involves the payment oftermination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy,the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected toaccept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting periodare discounted to their present value.

(d) Compensated Absences

Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days(including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. Theyare included in the Trade and Other Payables account at the undiscounted amount

that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.

2.15 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred,except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes asubstantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as part ofcost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expendituresfor the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary toprepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases whensubstantially all such activities are complete.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pendingtheir expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible forcapitalization.

2.16 Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current taxnot recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.

Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscalauthorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid

at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates and taxlaws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit forthe year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component oftax expense in profit or loss.

F-240



- 18 -

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at theend of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certainexceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences anddeferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and thecarryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable

that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences canbe utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reportingperiod and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxableprofit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to applyin the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rateshave been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting periodand reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be availableto allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reportingperiod, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For purposesof measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties thatare measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties arepresumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted, that is,

when the investment property is depreciable and is held within the business model whoseobjective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in theinvestment property over time, rather than through sale.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax

expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized inother comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by Bureau ofInternal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent areasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjustedover time as more information becomes available.

Deferred tax assets liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to setoff current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the sameentity and the same taxation authority.

F-241

2.17 Related Party Relationships and Transactions

Related party transactions are transfers of resources, services or obligations between theCompany and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or

exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operatingdecisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through oneor more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with theCompany; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the

voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company andclose members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) the Company’s retirementplan.

In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to thesubstance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.

2.18 Equity

Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Additional paid-in capital includes any premium received on the issuance of capitalstock. Any transaction costs associated with the issuance of shares are deducted fromadditional paid-in capital, net of any related income tax benefits.

Revaluation reserves comprise gains and losses due to the revaluation of land andremeasurements of post-employment defined benefit obligation or asset, specificallyactuarial gains and losses.

Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reported

in the profit or loss section of the statements of comprehensive income, reduced by theamount of dividends declared.

2.19 Events after the End of the Reporting Period

Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’sfinancial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in thefinancial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, aredisclosed when material to the financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS requiremanagement to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in thefinancial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluatedand are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future

events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results mayultimately vary from these estimates.

3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made thefollowing judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the mostsignificant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

(a)

Distinction between Operating and Finance Leases

The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Critical

judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as eitheran operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant riskand rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure tomake the right judgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of assetand liabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to beoperating leases.

(b) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies

Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions andcontingencies. Policies on recognition and disclosure of provision and contingenciesare discussed in Note 2.9 and relevant disclosures in contingencies are presented in

Note 20.

3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources ofestimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk ofcausing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within thenext financial year:

(a) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables

Adequate amount of allowance for impairment is provided for specific and group of

accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluatesthese accounts based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limitedto, the length of the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’current credit status based on third party credit reports and known market forces, theaverage age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience.

Based on the analysis done by management, certain receivables were identified to beimpaired. The carrying value of trade and other receivables and analysis of allowancefor impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.

F-243



- 21 -

(b)

Determining Net Realizable Value of Inventories

In determining the net realizable value of inventories, management takes into accountthe most reliable evidence available at the dates the estimates are made. The futurerealization of the carrying amounts of inventories as presented in Note 7 is affectedby price changes in different market segments. These are considered key sources of

estimation, especially that such inventories are substantially perishable in nature andhighly affective by temperature and other environmental conditions, uncertainty andmay cause significant adjustments to the Company’s inventories within the nextfinancial year.

(c)

Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, exceptland, based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodicallyand are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wearand tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of

the assets.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9.Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2013, there is no change inestimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during the year. Actualresults, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes infactors mentioned above.

(d)

Determining the Fair Value of Land

The Company’s land is carried at revalued amount at the end of the reporting period.In determining the fair value of the land, the Company engages the services of

professional and independent appraisers. The fair value is determined by reference tomarket-based evidence, which is the amount for which the asset could be exchangedbetween a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as atthe valuation date. Such amount is influenced by different factors including thelocation and specific characteristics of the property (e.g., size, features, and capacity),quantity of comparable properties available in the market, and economic conditionand behaviour of the buying parties.

A significant change in these elements may affect prices and the value of the asset. The amounts of revaluation and fair value gain recognized on land are disclosed inNote 9.

(e)

Determining Recoverable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of the reporting period andreduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to beutilized. The carrying value of deferred tax assets as at December 31, 2013 and 2012

which the management assessed to be probable of being fully utilized within the nexttwo to three years is disclosed in Note 16.

F-244



- 22 -

(f)

Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The Company’s policy on estimating the impairment of non-financial assets isdiscussed in detail in Note 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptionsused in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements areappropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially

affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss couldhave a material adverse effect on the results of operations. No impairment loss wasrecognized on the Company’s non-financial assets in 2013 and 2012.

(g) Valuation of Post-employment Benefits

The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment definedbenefit are dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries incalculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount ratesand salary increase rates. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from theassumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore,generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future

periods.

The amount of retirement benefit obligation (asset) and expense and an analysis ofthe movements in the estimated present value of post-employment benefit obligationand fair value of plan assets are presented in Note 15.2.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks which result from both its operatingand investing activities. The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its parentcompany, in close cooperation with the BOD, and focuses on actively securing the

Company’s short-to-medium term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financialmarkets.

The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposesnor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Company isexposed to are described below.

4.1 Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments andspecifically to currency risk and interest risk which result from both its operating andinvesting activities.

(a)

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in U.S. Dollars, its functionalcurrency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the interest-bearing loansfrom local banks, trade and other payables and due to related parties which areprimarily denominated in Philippine peso. The Company also holds Philippinepeso-denominated cash.

F-245



- 23 -

To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-U.S. dollar cashflows are regularly monitored. Foreign currency denominated financial assets andliabilities (in Philippine pesos), translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rate are asfollows:

2013 2012

Short-term exposure:Financial assets $ 22,143,055 $ 2,095,713Financial liabilities ( 53,444,704) ( 48,472,975 )

The sensitivity of the net results in regards to the Company’s financial assets andfinancial liabilities and the U.S. dollar – Philippine peso exchange rate assumes a

+/-23.7% and +/-15.9% change of the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso exchange rate in2013 and 2012, respectively.

These percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility inexchange rates, using standard deviation, in the previous 12 months, estimated at99% level of confidence. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Company’s foreigncurrency financial instruments held at the end of each reporting period, with effectestimated from the beginning of the year.

If the Philippine peso had strengthened against the U.S. dollar, then this would havethe following impact:

2013 2012

Profit before tax $ 22,255,472 $ 22,295,653Equity 15,578,830 15,606,957

If the Philippine peso had weakened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have areverse impact by the same amounts as above.

The exchange rates used to translate Philippine peso-denominated financial assets andliabilities to U.S. dollars at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was P44.41:$1and P41.19:$1, respectively. The Company actively monitors the volatility of theforeign currency exchange rates to manage its foreign currency exposure.

Exposures to foreign currency exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to berepresentative of the Company’s currency risk.

(b) Interest Rate Risk

The Company has limited exposure to changes in market interest rates through itsinterest-bearing loans and cash and cash equivalents, which are mostly short-term andare subject to variable interest rates. These financial instruments have historicallyshown small or measured changes in interest rates. All other financial assets andliabilities have fixed rates.

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, ifany identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into itscredit risk controls. Where available at a reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/orreports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company’spolicy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. In addition, for a significantproportion of sales, advance payments are received to mitigate credit risk.

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount ofthe financial assets as shown on the face of the statements of financial position(or in the detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), assummarized below.

Construction-in-progress pertains to the accumulated costs incurred on the ongoingconstruction of a new building and installation of machinery and equipment as part ofthe Company’s expansion program (see Note 20.3). In 2013 and 2012, portion ofconstruction-in-progress amounting to $638,886 and $392,963, respectively, were completedand transferred by the Company to their proper account classification.

The Company did not capitalize any borrowing cost related to their general borrowings in2013 and 2012, since management determined that the effect is not material to the financialstatements.

On October 15, 2013, the Company’s land with a carrying value of $1,862,839 as at the dateof sale was sold to CCC at its original cost of $1,827,066. Consequently, loss on disposal ofland of $35,773 is recognized and shown as part of Loss on disposal of property andequipment under Other Expenses in the 2013 statement of comprehensive income(see Note 13). The corresponding revaluation reserve of $35,773, carried in equity istransferred directly to the Retained Earnings.

The amount of depreciation (see Note 13) is allocated as follows:

2013 2012

Cost of goods sold $ 2,695,638 $ 2,550,836 Administrative expenses 141,876 178,423

The short-term and long-term interest-bearing loans, which are collateralized by acontinuing joint suretyship of certain stockholders and a corporate guarantee of CCC(see Note 20), are broken down as follows:

Short-term P1,984,600,000 $ 44,684,109 P 1,320,700,000 $ 32,062,051Long-term 15,000,000 337,731 75,000,000 1,820,742

P1,999,600,000 $ 45,021,840 P 1,395,700,000 $ 33,882,793

These loans were originally availed in Philippine peso and are presented in thestatements of financial positions as follows:

2013 2012

Current $ 45,021,840 $ 33,518,645

Non-current - 364,148

$ 45,021,840 $ 33,882,793

Short-term loans consist of several borrowings from local banks which mature within14 to 30 days and bear annual interest rates ranging from 2.50% to 2.65% in 2013 and2.25% to 4.75% in 2012.

Only the Company’s long-term loan is subject to a condition that requires the Companyto meet certain financial ratios such as debt-to-equity ratio (not to exceed 2.5:1) andcurrent ratio (of at least 1.0:1). In the event of default or non-compliance with any ofthe provisions of the loan agreement, the bank-creditor may (by written notice) either

declare the loan terminated or declare the entire unpaid principal amount and interest ofthe loan due and demandable. The loan covenant has been consistently complied withby the Company but not as of December 31, 2013 (see Note 22). However, onFebruary 27, 2014, complying with the long-term loan’s prescribedbank-scheduled-amortization, the Company has fully paid the remaining principalamount, denominated in Philippine peso, and included in current liabilities as atDecember 31, 2013 amounting to P15,000,000 (or approximately $337,731) withoutadditional burden of penalties that the local bank could have imposed had the loancovenant conditions were applied. As such, the Company had foregone obtaining abank loan waiver effective December 31, 2013. The Company’s management assessedthat obtaining such waiver is academic, in the absence of a written notice issued by thebank, as full payment and non-imposition of any bank penalties has cured any breach of

the loan covenant.

Interest expense charged to operations amounted to $1,069,892 in 2013 and $816,041 in2012 and presented as part of Finance Costs in the statements of comprehensive income(see Note 14). The unpaid balance of interest amounting to $64,678 and $52,116 as atDecember 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is presented as part of Accrued Expensesunder the Trade and Other Payables account in the statements of financial position(see Note 12).

Tax income (expense) 3,075 ( 2,178 )

($ 7,176) $ 5,081

Current service cost is allocated and presented in the statements of profit or lossunder the following accounts:

Note 2013 2012

Cost of goods sold 13 $ 35,024 $ 34,150

Administrative expenses 7,384 6,026

$ 42,726 $ 40,176

The net interest income is included in the caption Finance Income (see Note 14.2)and the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is included under itemthat will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

In determining the amounts of the defined benefit post-employment obligation, thefollowing significant actuarial assumptions were used:

2013 2012

Discount rates 4.37% 6.29%Expected rate of salary increases 3.00% 4.00%

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are based on published statisticsand mortality tables. The average remaining working lives of an individual retiring atthe age of 65 is 22 for both males and females.

F-258



- 36 -

These assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of anindependent actuary. Discount factors are determined close to the end of eachreporting period by reference to the interest rates of a zero coupon governmentbonds with terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the post-employmentobligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarial benchmarks andmanagement’s historical experience.

(c)

Risks Associated with the Retirement Plan

The plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interestrate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

(i)

Investment and Interest Risks

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discountrate determined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, adecrease in the interest rate of a reference government bonds will increase the planobligation. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on theplan’s investments in debt securities and if the return on plan asset falls below thisrate, it will create a deficit in the plan. Currently, the plan is composed ofinvestment in cash and cash equivalents, corporate and government debt securities.

(ii) Longevity and Salary Risks

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to thebest estimate of the mortality of the plan participants both during and after theiremployment, and to their future salaries. Consequently, increases in the lifeexpectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an increase in the planobligation.

(d)

Other Information

The information on the sensitivity analysis for certain significant actuarialassumptions, the Company’s asset-liability matching strategy, and the timing anduncertainty of future cash flows related to the retirement plan are described below.

(i) Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principalassumptions is shown below.

Impact on Defined Benefit ObligationChange in Increase in Decrease in

Assumption Assumption Assumption

Discount rate +/-1% ( $ 29,020 ) $ 32,051Salary increase rate +/-1% 28,153 ( 26,163 )

F-259



- 37 -

The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all otherassumptions constant. This analysis may not be representative of the actual changein the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions

would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may becorrelated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present

value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit

credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied incalculating the defined benefit obligation recognized in the statements of financialposition.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis didnot change compared to the previous years.

(ii) Asset-liability Matching Strategies

The Company has no specific matching strategy between the plan assets and the planliabilities. However, concentration on government and corporate debt instruments,are evident to align securing the principal value of plan assets from volatility or high

risk in loss of value.

(iii) Funding Arrangements and Expected Contributions

The plan is currently underfunded by $13,479 based on the latest actuarial valuationbut the Company does not expect any contribution to the retirement benefit plan in2014. While there are no minimum funding requirement in the country, the size ofthe underfunding may pose a cash flow risk in about 6 years’ time when a significantnumber of employees is expected to retire.

The maturity profile of undiscounted expected benefit payments from the planfollows:

Between 1 to 5 years $ 7,530Between 6 to 10 years 111,318

$ 118,848

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of thereporting period is 9.5 years.

Management considered the carrying amounts of these financial instruments to approximatetheir fair values as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

21.2 Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with PFRS 13, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities andnon-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basisand those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosedin accordance with other relevant PFRS, are categorized into three levels based on thesignificance of inputs used to measure the fair value. The fair value hierarchy has thefollowing levels:

a)

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets orliabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date;b)

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that areobservable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly(i.e., derived from prices); and,

c)

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable marketdata (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowestlevel of significant input to the fair value measurement.

F-266



- 44 -

For purposes of determining the market value at Level 1, a market is regarded as active ifquoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industrygroup, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularlyoccurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

The Company has no financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value or that

are not carried at fair value but are required to be disclosed as at December 31, 2013 and2012. For financial asset and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost managementconsiders that their carrying amounts approximate their fair values (see Note 21.1).

21.3 Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The Company has no financial assets and financial liabilities which are presented as net asat December 31, 2013 and 2012. Currently, certain financial assets and financial liabilitiesare settled on a gross basis, except for certain transactions where the customer alsosupplies certain raw materials to the Company and wherein such amounts can be settledon a net basis upon the approval of both parties. As such, the Company’s relatedoutstanding receivables amounting to $5.1 million can be offset by the amount of related

outstanding liabilities of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2013. There was no similartransaction source of potential offsetting in 2012.

22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s capital management objectives are:

• To ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

• To meet maturing obligation to creditors; and,

• To provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and servicescommensurately with the level of risk.

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as presentedon the face of the statements of financial position. The Company is required to meet acertain level of debt-to-equity ratio. With the declaration of cash dividend as ofSeptember 30, 2013 (see Note 19) the Company’s equity account as at December 31, 2013significantly declined. As a result, the Company breached the level set forth in thelong-term loan agreement. However, the subsequent full settlement of the loan balance asof February 27, 2014 cured bank imposed penalties, if any (see Note 11).

Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as follows:

2013 2012

Total liabilities $ 58,503,306 $ 49,186,500 Total equity 16,744,884 20,901,045

Debt-to-equity ratio 3.49 : 1 2.35 : 1

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure,i.e., equity and financial liabilities. The Company manages the capital structure and makesadjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristicsof the underlying assets.

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of thesefinancial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages. The policies havebeen consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

(a)

Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance withPhilippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by the FinancialReporting Standards Council (FRSC) from the pronouncements issued by the

International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified byPFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement basesare more fully described in the accounting policies in the succeeding pages.

F-280

DRAFT (For DiscussionPur ose Onl

(b)


The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine AccountingStandard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements . The Company presents all items ofincome and expense in a single statement of comprehensive income.

Two comparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position whenthe Company applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospectiverestatement of items in its financial statements, or reclassifies items in the financialstatements. In 2012, the Company restated its 2011 financial statements to reclassifythe amount of cold storage rentals, which was inadvertently included as part of theCompany’s inventoriable costs in 2011, should be expensed outright as the saidexpense is not directly related to the cost of its inventories.

(c) Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in United States (U.S.) Dollars, theCompany’s functional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute

amounts except when otherwise indicated.

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using itsfunctional currency. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which the Company operates.


(a)

Effective in 2012 that are Relevant to the Company

In 2012, the Company adopted the following amendments to PFRS that are relevantto the Company and effective for financial statements for the annual periods beginning

on or after July 1, 2011 or January 1, 2012:

PFRS 7 (Amendment) : Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets

PAS 12 (Amendment) : Income Taxes – Deferred Tax:Recovery of Underlying Assets

Discussed below are the relevant information about these amended standards.

(i)

PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets . The amendment requires additional disclosures that will allow users offinancial statements to understand the relationship between transferred financial

assets that are not derecognized in their entirety and the associated liabilities;and, to evaluate the nature of, and risk associated with any continuinginvolvement of the reporting entity in financial assets that are derecognized intheir entirety. The Company did not transfer any financial asset involving thistype of arrangement; hence, the amendment did not result in any significantchange in the Company’s disclosures in its financial statements.

F-281



- 3 -


(ii)

PAS 12 (Amendment), Income Taxes – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets . The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that the measurement of adeferred tax liability or asset that arises from investment property measured atfair value under PAS 40, Investment Property, should reflect the tax consequence ofrecovering the carrying amount of the asset entirely through sale. Thepresumption is rebutted for depreciable investment property (e.g., building) that

is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all ofthe economic benefits embodied in the asset over time, rather than through sale.Moreover, Standing Interpretation Committee 21, Income Taxes – Recovery ofRevalued Non-Depreciable Assets , is accordingly withdrawn and is incorporatedunder PAS 12 requiring that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that aremeasured using the revaluation model in PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment,should always be measured on a sale basis of the asset. The amendment has nosignificant impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company has noinvestment property while the Company’s land classified as property, plant andequipment which is measured at fair value is taxable with the same rateregardless of whether these assets will be sold or used in operation.

(b)

Effective in 2012 that is not Relevant to the Company

Of the amendments to PFRS that are effective in 2012 only PFRS 1, First-time Adoptionof PFRS , is not relevant to the Company.

(c)

Early Adoption of Philippine Accounting Standard 1 (Amendment), Presentation of FinancialStatements

In the preparation of the 2012 financial statements, the Company adopted early theamendment made to PAS 1, issued by the IASB and adopted by the FRSC as part ofthe Annual Improvements to PFRS 2009-2011 Cycle, which will be effective for theannual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The amendment clarifies that

when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospectiverestatement or reclassification of items in its financial statements that has a materialeffect on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of thepreceding period (i.e., opening statement of financial position), it shall present a thirdstatement of financial position as at the beginning of that preceding period. Otherthan disclosures of certain specified information as described below, related notes tothe opening statement of financial position are not required to be presented.

F-282

(d)


There are new PFRS, amendments, annual improvements and interpretations toexisting standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2012. Management hasinitially determined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply inaccordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial statements:

(i)

PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items of OtherComprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendment requires anentity to group items presented in other comprehensive income into those that,in accordance with other PFRSs: (a) will not be reclassified subsequently toprofit or loss and (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss whenspecific conditions are met. The Company’s management does not expect thisamendment to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as theCompany does not have any transaction recognized in other comprehensiveincome.

(ii) PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). The revision

made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughout thestandard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows:

• eliminates the corridor approach under the existing guidance of PAS 19and requires an entity to recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising inthe reporting period;

• streamlines the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilitiesresulting in the disaggregation of changes into three main components ofservice costs, net interest on net defined benefit obligation or asset, andremeasurement; and,

•

enhances disclosure requirements, including information about thecharacteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities areexposed to through participation in those plans.

Currently, the Company is using the corridor approach and its unrecognizedactuarial loss as at December 31, 2012 amounts to $4,450 which will beretrospectively recognized as loss in other comprehensive income in 2013(see Note 15.2).

(iii)

PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendment requiresqualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and net amounts of

recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with PAS 32,Financial Instruments: Presentation . The amendment also requires disclosure ofinformation about recognized financial instruments which are subject toenforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, even if they arenot set-off in the statement of financial position, including those which do notmeet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 and amounts related to afinancial collateral. These disclosures will allow financial statement users toevaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights ofset-off associated with recognized financial assets and financial liabilities on theentity’s financial position. The Company has initially assessed that the adoptionof the amendment will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

F-283



- 5 -


(iv)

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This standardaims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precisedefinition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement anddisclosure requirements for use across PFRS. The requirements do not extendthe use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should beapplied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards.

Management is in the process of reviewing its valuation methodologies forconformity with the new requirements and has yet to assess the impact of thenew standard on the Company’s financial statements.

(v)

PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendmentprovides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria foroffsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right ofset-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; inthe event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entityand all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principle behindnet settlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement system that

would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company does not expectthis amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

(vi) PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective from January 1, 2015). This is the first part of a new standard on financial instrumentsthat will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement , in itsentirety. This chapter covers the classification and measurement of financialassets and financial liabilities and it deals with two measurement categories forfinancial assets: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments will bemeasured at fair value while debt instruments will be measured at amortized costonly if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows which representpayment of principal and interest.

The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financialassets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not theyare closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation fromthe host contract.

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements whichinclude amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcationof embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case where the fair valueoption is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to anentity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than inprofit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.

To date, other chapters of PFRS 9 dealing with impairment methodology andhedge accounting are still being completed.

Further, in November 2011, the IASB tentatively decided to consider makinglimited modifications to International Financial Reporting Standard 9’s financialasset classification model to address certain application issues.

F-284



- 6 -


The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until its effectivedate. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 onthe financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct acomprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to itsmandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.

(vii)

2009-2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS(2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which areeffective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Among thoseimprovements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company butmanagement does not expect a material impact on the Company’s financialstatements:

(a)

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification ofServicing Equipment . The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistencyin the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resultedin classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used formore than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-by

equipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plantand equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant andequipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory.

(b)

PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments – Presentation – Tax Effect ofDistributions to Holders of Equity Instruments . The amendment clarifies thatthe consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of anequity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall beaccounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income taxrelating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized inprofit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equitytransaction is recognized in equity.


Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractualterms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated andeffective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financialassets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturityinvestments and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Financial assets are assigned tothe different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purposefor which the investments were acquired. Regular purchases and sales of financial assetsare recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at FVTPLare initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and related transactioncosts are recognized in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company providesmoney, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables.

They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after theend of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.

F-285



- 7 -


Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method for maturities extending beyond one year, less any impairment losses.

Any change in their value is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amountsdue to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of theimpairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and

the present value of estimated cash flows.

The Company’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented as Cashand Cash Equivalents and Trade and Other Receivables (except Deposit on purchases) inthe statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash onhand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible toknown amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

All income and expenses, excluding impairment losses and foreign currency exchangelosses related to trade and other receivables, relating to financial assets that are recognizedin profit or loss are presented as part of Finance Costs or Finance Income in thestatement of comprehensive income.

Non-compounding interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assetsare recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carryingamount of financial assets is measured.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from thefinancial instruments expire and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownershiphave been transferred.

2.4 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined

using the weighted-average method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the costof raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based onnormal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributableto acquisition, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are notsubsequently recoverable from taxing authorities.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, lessthe estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Netrealizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost.


Property and equipment, except land which is stated at fair value, are stated at cost lessaccumulated depreciation, and any impairment in value.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringingthe asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, majorimprovements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance arecharged to expense as incurred.

F-286



- 8 -


Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of theassets as follows:

Buildings 15 yearsMachinery and equipment 10 yearsLand improvements 10 years

Transportation and delivery equipment 5 years


Construction-in-progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing cost and other direct costs(see Note 2.15). The account is not depreciated until such time that the assets arecompleted and available for use.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if theasset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount

(see Note 2.13).


An item of property, plant and equipment, including the related accumulated depreciationand any impairment losses, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economicbenefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arisingon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the year theitem is derecognized.

2.6

Other Assets

Other assets pertain to other resources controlled by the Company as a result of pastevents. They are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that the futureeconomic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or value that can bemeasured reliably.

Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected toflow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period (or in thenormal operating cycle of the business, if longer), are classified as non-current assets.


Financial liabilities, which include interest-bearing loans, trade and other payables[except output value-added tax (VAT) and other taxes payable], advances from astockholder and dividend payable are recognized when the Company becomes a party tothe contractual terms of the instrument. These are recognized initially at their fair valuesand subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method formaturities beyond one year, less settlement payments. All interest-related charges incurredon financial liability are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the captionFinance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.

F-287



- 9 -


Interest-bearing loans are raised for support of short-term or long-term funding ofoperations. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemptionand direct issue costs, are charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis using the effectiveinterest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent thatthese are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Dividend payable to shareholders are recognized as financial liabilities when the dividendsare approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD).

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only whenthe obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration.


Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in thestatement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off therecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assetand settle the liability simultaneously.

2.9 Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow ofeconomic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of theoutflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal orconstructive obligation that has resulted from past events.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the presentobligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period,including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where thereare a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in

settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present valuesusing a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation.

The increase in provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate.

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of presentobligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannotbe measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly,possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet therecognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized

in the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company canbe virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognizedas a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision.

F-288

Revenue comprises revenue from the sale of goods measured by reference to the fair valueof consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods supplied, excluding

VAT and trade discounts.

Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it isprobable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred orto be incurred can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria mustalso be met before revenue is recognized:

(a)

Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of thegoods have passed to the buyer. This is generally when the buyer has takenundisputed delivery of goods.

(b)

Interest Income – Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account theeffective yield on the asset.

Costs and expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income uponreceipt of goods and/or utilization of service or at the date they are incurred. Financecosts are reported on an accrual basis, except capitalized borrowing costs which areincluded as part of the cost of the related qualifying assets (see Note 2.15).

2.11 Leases

(a) Company as Lessee

Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits ofownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments(net of any incentive received from the lessor) are recognized as expense in profit orloss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs andmaintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

(b) Company as Lessor

Leases which do not transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits ofownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operatingleases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based onthe substance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfillmentof the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and thearrangement conveys a right to use the asset.


The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Foreign currencytransactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates

which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.

F-289



- 11 -


Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions andfrom the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are presented in the statement of comprehensiveincome as part of Finance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.


The Company’s property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets are testedfor impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount may not be recoverable.

For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for whichthere are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assetsare tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generatingunit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is thehigher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell and value in use, based

on an internal discounted cash flows evaluation. Impairment loss is charged pro rata tothe other assets in the cash-generating unit.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previouslyrecognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to therecoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss.


(a) Defined Benefits Plan

Post-employment benefits are provided to employees through a defined benefit plan.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount ofpost-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependenton one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal obligation forany benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the Company, even ifplan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired. Plan assets mayinclude assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as well as qualifyinginsurance policies. The Company’s post-employment defined benefit pension plan coversall regular full-time employees.

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefitplan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the

reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments forunrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The DBO is calculatedannually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present

value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using adiscount rate derived from the interest rates of a zero coupon government bonds aspublished by Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation, that are denominated in thecurrency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximatingto the terms of the related post-employment liability.

F-290



- 12 -


Actuarial gains and losses are not recognized as an income or expense unless the totalunrecognized gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the obligation and related planassets. The amount exceeding this 10% corridor is charged or credited to profit or lossover the employees’ expected average remaining working lives. Actuarial gains and losses

within the 10% corridor are disclosed separately. Past service costs are recognizedimmediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the

employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period).In this case, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vestingperiod.

(b) Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company beforethe normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy inexchange for these benefits.

The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed toeither: (a) terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal

plan without possibility of withdrawal; or (b) providing termination benefits as a result ofan offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

(c) Compensated Absences

Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days (includingholiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. They are included in the

Trade and Other Payables account at the undiscounted amount that the Company expectsto pay as a result of the unused entitlement.


Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred,except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes asubstantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as part ofcost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expendituresfor the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary toprepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases whensubstantially all such activities are complete.

2.16 Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current taxnot recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.

Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscalauthorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaidat the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates and taxlaws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit forthe year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component oftax expense in profit or loss.

F-291



- 13 -


Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at theend of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certainexceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences anddeferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and thecarryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable

that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences canbe utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reportingperiod and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxableprofit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting periodand reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be availableto allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply inthe period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rates havebeen enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of taxexpense in profit or loss. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate toitems recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are recognized inother comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company has a legallyenforceable right to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferredtaxes relate to the same entity and the same taxation authority.

The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by Bureau ofInternal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent a

reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjustedover time as more information becomes available.


Related party transactions are transfers of resources, services or obligations between theCompany and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party orexercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operatingdecisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through oneor more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the

Company; (b) associates; and, (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest inthe voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Companyand close members of the family of any such individual.


F-292

2.18 Equity


Additional paid-in capital includes any premium received on the issuance of capitalstock. Any transaction costs associated with the issuance of shares are deducted from

additional paid-in capital, net of any related income tax benefits.

Revaluation reserves comprise gains and losses due to the revaluation of land.

Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reportedin the profit or loss section of the statements of comprehensive income.

2.19 Events After the End of the Reporting Period

Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’sfinancial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in thefinancial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are

disclosed when material to the financial statements.


The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS requiremanagement to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in thefinancial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluatedand are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of futureevents that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results mayultimately vary from these estimates.

3.1

Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies


(a) Distinction between Operating and Finance Leases

The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Criticaljudgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as eitheran operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant riskand rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to

make the right judgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of assetand liabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to beoperating leases.

(b)

Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies

Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions andcontingencies. Policies on recognition and disclosure of provision and contingenciesare discussed in Note 2.9 and relevant disclosures of contingencies are presented inNotes 20.

F-293



- 15 -


(c)

Costing of Inventories

In determining cost, management uses judgment in properly allocating the labor andoverhead between the cost of inventories on hand (finished goods and

work-in-process) and cost of goods sold. The Company currently allocatesproduction overhead on the basis of units produced. However, the amount of costs

charged to finished goods and work-in-process inventories would differ if theCompany utilized a different allocation base. Changes in allocated cost would affectthe carrying cost of inventories and could potentially affect the valuation based onlower of cost and net realizable value.



(a)

Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables

Adequate amount of allowance for impairment is provided for specific and group ofaccounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluatesthese accounts based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limitedto, the length of the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’current credit status based on third party credit reports and known market forces, theaverage age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience.

Based on the analysis done by management, certain receivables were identified to beimpaired. The carrying value of trade and other receivables and analysis of allowancefor impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.

(b)


In determining the net realizable value of inventories, management takes into accountthe most reliable evidence available at the dates the estimates are made. The futurerealization of the carrying amounts of inventories as presented in Note 7 is affectedby price changes in different market segments. These are considered key sources ofestimation, especially that such inventories are substantially perishable in nature andhighly affective by temperature and other environmental conditions, uncertainty andmay cause significant adjustments to the Company’s inventories within the nextfinancial year.

(c)



The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodicallyand are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wearand tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use ofthe assets.

F-294



- 16 -


The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9.Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2012, there is no change inestimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during the year. Actualresults, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes infactors mentioned above.

(d)

Determining the Fair Value of Land

The Company’s land is carried at revalued amount at the end of the reporting period.In determining the fair value of the land, the Company engages the services ofprofessional and independent appraisers. The fair value is determined by reference tomarket-based evidence, which is the amount for which the asset could be exchangedbetween a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as atthe valuation date. Such amount is influenced by different factors including thelocation and specific characteristics of the property (e.g., size, features, and capacity),quantity of comparable properties available in the market, and economic conditionand behaviour of the buying parties. A significant change in these elements mayaffect prices and the value of the asset. The amounts of revaluation and fair value

gain recognized on land are disclosed in Note 9.

(e)

Determining Recoverable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of the reporting period andreduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to beutilized. The carrying value of deferred tax assets as at December 31, 2012 and 2011

which the management assessed to be probable of being utilized within the next twoto three years is disclosed in Note 16.

(f) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The Company’s policy on estimating the impairment of non-financial assets isdiscussed in detail in Note 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptionsused in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements areappropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materiallyaffect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss couldhave a material adverse effect on the results of operations. No impairment loss wasrecognized on the Company’s non-financial assets in 2012 and 2011.

(g)

Valuation of Post-employment Benefits

The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment defined

benefit is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries incalculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates,expected return on plan assets and salary increase rate. In accordance with PFRS,actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized overfuture periods and, therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recordedobligation in such future periods.

The amount of retirement benefit obligation (asset) and expense and an analysis of themovements in the estimated present value of retirement benefit obligation (asset) arepresented in Note 15.2.

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks which result from both its operatingand investing activities. The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its parentcompany, in close cooperation with the BOD, and focuses on actively securing theCompany’s short-to-medium term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial

markets.


4.1 Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments andspecifically to currency risk and interest risk which result from both its operating andinvesting activities.

(a)

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in U.S. Dollars, its functionalcurrency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the interest-bearing loansfrom local banks, trade and other payables and due to a related party which areprimarily denominated in Philippine peso. The Company also holds Philippinepeso-denominated cash.

To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-U.S. dollar cashflows are regularly monitored.

Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities (in Philippine pesos),

translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rate are as follows:

2012 2011

Short-term exposure:Financial assets $ 2,095,713 $ 2,722,256Financial liabilities ( 48,472,975 ) ( 45,270,647 )

( 46,377,262 ) ( 42,548,391 )

Long-term exposure –Financial liabilities ( 364,148 ) ( 1,707,339 )

Net exposure ( $ 46,741,410 ) ( $ 44,255,730 )

The sensitivity of the net results in regards to the Company’s financial assets andfinancial liabilities and the U.S. dollar – Philippine peso exchange rate assumes a+/-15.90% and +/-16.23% change of the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso exchange rate in2012 and 2011, respectively. These percentages have been determined based on theaverage market volatility in exchange rates, using standard deviation, in the previous12 months, estimated at 99% level of confidence. The sensitivity analysis is based onthe Company’s foreign currency financial instruments held at the end of each reportingperiod, with effect estimated from the beginning of the year.

F-296



- 18 -


If the Philippine peso had strengthened against the U.S. dollar, then this would havethe following impact:

2012 2011

Profit before tax $ 7,431,884 $ 7,182,705

Equity 5,202,319 4,886,443

If the Philippine peso had weakened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have areverse impact by the same amounts as above.

The exchange rates used to translate Philippine peso – denominated financial assetsand liabilities to U.S. dollars at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was P41.19:$1 andP43.93:$1, respectively. The Company actively monitors the volatility of the foreigncurrency exchange rates to manage its foreign currency exposure.

Exposures to foreign currency exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to berepresentative of the Company’s currency risk.

(b)

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has limited exposure to changes in market interest rates through itsinterest-bearing loans and cash and cash equivalents, which are subject to variableinterest rates. These financial instruments have historically shown small or measuredchanges in interest rates. All other financial assets and liabilities have fixed rates.

4.2 Credit Risk

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount ofthe financial assets as shown on the face of the statements of financial position

(or in the detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), assummarized below.

Notes 2012 2011

Cash and cash equivalents 5 $ 2,201,717 $ 2,058,243 Trade and other receivables 6 4,619,685 5,446,965

$ 6,823,233 $ 7,507,092

As part of Company policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financialinstitutions. Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance

Corporation (PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of (P500,000) per depositor per bankinginstitution, as provided for under Republic Act No. 9576, Charter of PDIC, are still subjectto credit risk.

Trade and other receivables, as presented above, exclude deposit on purchases of $501,407as of December 31, 2011. There was no outstanding balance of deposit on purchases asof December 31, 2012.

F-297



- 19 -


The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties,identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its creditrisk controls. Where available at a reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reportson customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company’s policy is todeal only with creditworthy counterparties. In addition, for a significant proportion ofsales, advance payments are received to mitigate credit risk.

The Company’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are notimpaired or past due for each reporting period are off good credit quality.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significantcredit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties havingsimilar characteristics.

Financial assets that are past due but not impaired are as follows:

2012 2011

Less than one year $ 144,024 $ 51,756

More than one year 259 16,065

$ 144,283 $ 67,821

The fair value of these short-term financial assets is not individually determined as thecarrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

4.3 Liquidity Risk

The ability of the Company to finance its operations and to meet obligations as thesebecome due is extremely crucial to its viability as a business entity. The Company adopts aprudent liquidity risk management where it maintains sufficient cash to meet trade and

other short-term payables as they fall due.

The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicingpayments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in aday-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on aday-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection.Long-term liquidity needs for a six-month and one-year period are identified monthly.Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount ofcommitted credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities which are presented below.

Current Non-current Within 6 to 12 1 to 5

6 Months Months Years

Interest-bearing loans $ 33,518,645 $ 364,148 $ - Trade and other payables 10,868,961 - - Advances from related parties 4,085,368 - -

$ 48,769,974 $ 364,148 $ -

Interest-bearing loans $ 24,062,102 $ 1,365,871 $ 341,468 Advances from related parties 10,006,670 - - Trade and other payables 9,372,685 - -Dividend payable 1,732,062 - -

$ 45,173,519 $ 1,365,871 $ 341,468

The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash flows, which may differ from thecarrying values of the liabilities at the end of each of the reporting periods.


The breakdown of this account is as follows:

2012 2011

Cash on hand $ 1,821 $ 1,884Cash in bank 2,201,727 1,990,884 Short-term placements - 67,359

$ 2,203,548 $ 2,060,127

Cash in banks generally earn interest at rates based on daily bank deposit rates.

Short-term placements are made for varying periods of between 15 to 30 days and earneffective interest ranging from 2.8% to 4.0% in both years. Interest income earnedamounting to $67,561 and $ 19,797 in 2012 and 2011, respectively and presented asFinance Income in the statement of comprehensive income.

F-299



- 21 -


Trade receivables are usually due within 30 to 45 days and do not bear any interest. Alltrade and other receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. However, the Companydoes not identify specific concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade and otherreceivables as the amounts recognized resemble a large number of receivables from

various customers and counterparties.

Deposit on purchases pertains to advances made to suppliers for goods ordered. This isapplied against billings from the suppliers upon the completion of such order;accordingly, not considered as financed assets (see also Note 4.2).

All of the Company’s trade and other receivables have been reviewed for indicators ofimpairment. Certain receivables were identified to be impaired, hence, adequateamounts of allowance for impairment have been recognized. The Company recognizedimpairment losses on certain trade receivables amounting $75,500 in 2012 and $68,783 in2011 and presented them as part of Impairment Loss on Trade and Other Receivablesunder Administrative Expense in the statements of comprehensive income(see Note 13).

PAS 19 (Revised) : Employee BenefitsPFRS 7 (Amendment) : Financial Instrument: Disclosures –

Offsetting Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities

PFRS 13 : Fair Value Measurement Annual Improvements : Annual Improvements to PFRS

(2009 – 2011 Cycle)

Discussed below are the relevant information about these new, amended and revisedstandards and the corresponding impact in the Company’s financial statements.

(i)

PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items ofOther Comprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendmentrequires an entity to group items presented in other comprehensive incomeinto those that, in accordance with other PFRS: (a) will not be reclassifiedsubsequently to profit or loss, and, (b) will be reclassified subsequently toprofit or loss when specific conditions are met. The amendment has beenapplied retrospectively, hence, the presentation of other comprehensive

income has been modified to reflect the changes. Management determinedthat the amendment did not significantly affect the financial statements as itsother comprehensive income is only comprised of actuarial gains and losseson post-employment defined benefit obligation, an item which is notreclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

(ii)

PAS 19 (Revised 2011), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). Therevision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughoutthe standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows:

• eliminates the corridor approach and requires the recognition ofremeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses) arising in the

reporting period in other comprehensive income;

•

changes the measurement and presentation of certain components of thedefined benefit cost. The net amount in profit or loss is affected by theremoval of the expected return on plan assets and interest costcomponents and their replacement by a net interest expense or incomebased on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and,

• enhances disclosure requirements, including information about thecharacteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities areexposed to through participation in those plans.

(iii)

PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendment requiresqualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and net amounts ofrecognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with PAS 32,Financial Instruments: Presentation . The amendment also requires disclosure ofinformation about recognized financial instruments which are subject to

enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, even if they arenot set-off in the statement of financial position, including those which do notmeet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 and amounts related to afinancial collateral. These disclosures will allow financial statement users toevaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights ofset-off associated with recognized financial assets and financial liabilities on theentity’s financial position. This amendment did not have a significant impact onthe Company’s financial statements as the Company has no and does not expectto have offsetting arrangements (see Note 20).

(iv)

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This newstandard clarifies the definition of fair value and provides guidance and enhanced

disclosures about fair value measurements. The requirements under the thisstandard do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance onhow it should be applied to both financial instrument items and non-financialitems for which other PFRS require or permit fair value measurements ordisclosures about fair value measurements, except in certain circumstances. Theamendment applies prospectively from annual periods beginning January 1, 2013;hence, disclosure requirements need not be resented in the comparativeinformation in the first year of application.

Other than the additional disclosures presented in Note 21, the application ofthis new standard had no significant impact in the amounts recognized in thefinancial statements.

(v)

2009-2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS(2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which areeffective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Among thoseimprovements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company:

(a)

PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements – Clarification of theRequirements for Comparative Information . The amendment clarifies that astatement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period(third statement of financial position) is required when an entity applies anaccounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement orreclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in the

third statement of financial position. The amendment specifies that otherthan disclosure of certain specified information in accordance with PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors , related notes tothe third statement of financial position are not required to be presented.

Consequent to the Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) in thecurrent year, which resulted in retrospective restatement of the prior years’financial statements, the Company has presented a third statement offinancial position as at January 1, 2012 without the related notes, exceptfor the disclosure requirements of PAS 8, as allowed under thisamendment to PAS 1.

(b)

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification ofServicing Equipment . The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistencyin the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resultedin classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used formore than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-byequipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plant

and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant andequipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory. This amendmenthas no significant effect on the financial statements since the Companyhas already been applying the classification requirements of thisamendment for the abovementioned spare parts and equipment inaccordance with the recognition criteria under PAS 16.

(c)

PAS 32 (Amendment ), Financial Instruments : Presentation – Tax Effect ofDistributions to Holders of Equity Instruments . The amendment clarifies thatthe consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of anequity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall beaccounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income tax

relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized inprofit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equitytransaction is recognized in equity. The adoption of this amendment didnot have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as theCompany’s accounting policy on tax effect of transactions involvingequity instruments is in accordance with the amendment.

(b) Effective in 2013 that are not Relevant to the Company

The following new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existingstandards are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on after January 1, 2013but are not relevant to the Company’s financial statements:

(c) Effective Subsequent to 2013 but not Adopted Early

There are new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing standardsthat are effective for periods subsequent to 2013. Management has initiallydetermined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply inaccordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financialstatements:

(i)

PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – EmployeeContributions (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies that ifthe amount of the contributions from employees or third parties is dependenton the number of years of service, an entity shall attribute the contributions toperiods of service using the same attribution method (i.e., either using theplan’s contribution formula or on a straight-line basis) for the gross benefit.Management has initially determined that this amendment will have no impacton the Company’s financial statements.

(ii)

PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). Theamendment provides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the

criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that aright of set-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course ofbusiness; in the event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcyof the entity and all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies theprinciple behind net settlement and provided characteristics of a grosssettlement system that would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. TheCompany does not expect this amendment to have a significant impact on itsfinancial statements.

(iii) PAS 36 (Amendment), Impairment of Assets – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifiesthat the requirements for the disclosure of information about the recoverable

amount of assets or cash-generating units is limited only to the recoverableamount of impaired assets that is based on fair value less cost of disposal. Italso introduces an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used indetermining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount based onfair value less cost of disposal is determined using a present value technique.Management will reflect in its subsequent year’s financial statements thechanges arising from this relief on disclosure requirements.

(iv)

PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting(effective January 1, 2014). The amendment provides some relief from therequirements on hedge accounting by allowing entities to continue the use ofhedge accounting when a derivative is novated to a clearing counterpartyresulting in termination or expiration of the original hedging instrument as a

consequence of laws and regulations, or the introduction thereof. As theCompany neither enters into transactions involving derivative instruments norit applies hedge accounting, the amendment will not have any impact on thefinancial statements.

(v)

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement . This is the first partof a new standard on financial instruments that will replace PAS 39, FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement , in its entirety. The first phase of thestandard was issued on November 2009 and October 2010 and contains newrequirements and guidance for the classification, measurement andrecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It requires financialassets to be classified into two measurement categories: amortized cost or fair

value. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whoseobjective is to collect the contractual cash flows that represent solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generallymeasured at amortized cost. All other debt instruments and equityinstruments are measured at fair value. In addition, PFRS 9 allows entities tomake an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair valueof an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensiveincome.

The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financialassets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or notthey are closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation

from the host contract.

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements whichinclude amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, withbifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case wherethe fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair valuechange due to the liability’s credit risk is recognized in other comprehensiveincome rather than in profit or loss, unless this creates an accountingmismatch.

In November 2013, the IASB has published amendments to InternationalFinancial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 that contain new chapter and model

on hedge accounting that provides significant improvements principally byaligning hedge accounting more closely with the risk management activitiesundertaken by entities when hedging their financial and non-financial riskexposures. The amendment also now requires changes in the fair value of anentity’s own debt instruments caused by changes in its own credit quality to berecognized in other comprehensive income rather in profit or loss. It alsoincludes the removal of the January 1, 2015 mandatory effective date ofIFRS 9.

F-336



- 9 -

To date, the remaining chapter of IFRS 9 and PFRS 9 dealing withimpairment methodology is still being completed. Further, the IASB iscurrently discussing some limited modifications to address certain applicationissues regarding classification of financial assets and to provide otherconsiderations in determining business model.

The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until itseffective date. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact ofPFRS 9 on the financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct acomprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to itsmandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.

(vi)

Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2010-2012Cycle) and PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number ofPFRS, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after

July 1, 2014. Among those improvements, the following amendments arerelevant to the Company but management does not expect a material impacton the Company’s financial statements:


(a)

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment and PAS 38(Amendment), Intangible Assets . The amendments clarify that when anitem of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets is revalued,the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent witha revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset.

(b)

PAS 24 (Amendment), Related Party Disclosures . The amendment clarifiesthat entity providing key management services to a reporting entity isdeemed to be a related party of the latter. It also requires and clarifies

that the amounts incurred by the reporting entity for key managementpersonnel services that are provided by a separate management entityshould be disclosed in the financial statements, and not the amounts ofcompensation paid or payable by the key management entity to itsemployees or directors.

(c)

PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement . The amendment,through a revision only in the basis of conclusion of PFRS 13, clarifiesthat issuing PFRS 13 and amending certain provisions of PFRS 9 andPAS 39 related to discounting of financial instruments, did not removethe ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no statedinterest rate on an undiscounted basis, when the effect of not discounting

is immaterial.

Annual Improvement to PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle)

PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement . The amendment clarifies thatthe scope of the exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financialassets and financial liabilities on a net basis (the portfolio exception) applies toall contracts within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with,PAS 39 or PFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions offinancial assets or financial liabilities as defined in PAS 32.

2.3

Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractualterms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated andeffective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financialassets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity

investments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to thedifferent categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. Allfinancial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair valueplus any directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets carried at FVTPL areinitially recorded at fair value and related transaction costs that are recognized in profit orloss.

The financial assets category that is relevant to the Company is loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Companyprovides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading thereceivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method, less impairment loss, if any. Impairment loss is provided when there isobjective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it inaccordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairmentloss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present

value of estimated cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred),

discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate or current effectiveinterest rate determined under the contract if the loan has a variable interest rate.

The Company’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented asCash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables (except deposit on purchases)and as part of Other Non-current Assets, with respect to security deposits includedtherein, in the statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents include cash onhand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturitiesof three months or less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which aresubject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

All income and expenses, excluding those that relate to operating activities, relating to

financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensiveincome.

Non-compounding interest, and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assetsare recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carryingamount of financial assets is measured.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from thefinancial instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks andrewards of ownership have been transferred to another party.

2.4

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determinedusing the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the costof raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based onnormal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributable

to acquisitions, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are notsubsequently recoverable from taxing authorities.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, lessthe estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.Net realizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost.


Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation andamortization and any impairment in value.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs ofbringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions,major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs andmaintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of theassets as follows:

Plant, machinery and equipment 2 to 10 yearsLaboratory tools and equipment 1 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the useful lives of

the assets of 1 to 10 years, whichever is shorter.

Construction-in-progress represents properties undergoing construction. It is stated atcost which includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing costs (see Note 2.15) andother direct costs. This account is not depreciated until such time that the assets arecompleted and available for use.




An item of property, plant and equipment, including related accumulated depreciationand amortization and impairment losses, if any, is derecognized upon disposal or whenno future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the differencebetween the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in thestatement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognized.

F-339



- 12 -

2.6

Prepayments and Other Assets

Prepayment and other assets pertain to the other resources controlled by the Company asa result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it isprobable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a costor value that can be measured reliably.

Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expectedto flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period (or in thenormal operating cycle of the business, if longer), are classified as non-current assets.

2.7 Trademarks

The cost of trademarks is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value ofthe other considerations given up to acquire the trademark. The Company’s trademark isnot amortized but tested for impairment annually [see Notes 2.13 and 3.1(a)].


Financial liabilities of the Company include trade and other payables (except tax-relatedliabilities) and due to related parties which are recognized when the Company becomes aparty to the contractual terms of the instrument. All interest-related charges incurred ona financial liability that relates to financing activities are recognized as an expense in profitor loss under the caption Finance Costs (Income) – net in the statement ofcomprehensive income.

Financial liabilities are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured atamortized cost, using effective interest method for maturities of more than one year, lesssettlement payments.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled withinone year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle ofthe business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defersettlement of liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities.

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only whenthe obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. Thedifference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and theconsideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss.


Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in thestatement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off therecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assetand settle the liability simultaneously.

F-340



- 13 -

2.10

Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow ofeconomic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount ofthe outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of alegal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the presentobligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reportingperiod, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will berequired in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.

When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to theirpresent values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific tothe obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized asinterest expense. The provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period andadjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of presentobligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannotbe measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly,possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet therecognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognizedin the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Companycan be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation isrecognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision.


Revenue comprises of revenue from the sale of goods measured by reference to the fair

value of consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods sold excluding value-added tax (VAT) and any trade discounts.

Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it isprobable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred orto be incurred can be measured reliably. In addition, the following specific recognitioncriteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

(a)

Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of thegoods have passed to the buyer, i.e. generally when the customer has acknowledgeddelivery of goods.

(b)

Interest income – Recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effectiveyield on the asset.

Costs and expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon receipt of goods, utilization ofservices or at the date they are incurred. All finance costs are reported in profit or loss onan accrual basis, except capitalized borrowing costs which are included as part of the costof the related qualifying asset (see Note 2.15).

F-341



- 14 -

2.12

Leases – Company as Lessee

Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits ofownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments arerecognized as expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basisover the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are

expensed as incurred.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on thesubstance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfilment of thearrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangementconveys a right to use the asset.


The Company’s trademarks, having an indefinite useful life, are tested for impairmentannually. Property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets are tested forimpairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount of those assets may not be recoverable.

For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for whichthere are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating unit). As a result, assets aretested for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.

Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generatingunit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is thehigher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, basedon an internal evaluation of discounted cash flow. Impairment loss is charged pro-rata toother assets in the cash-generating unit.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previouslyrecognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.


(a)

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through a definedbenefit plan.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of

post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usuallydependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legalobligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with theCompany, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have beenacquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-termbenefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s defined benefitpost-employment plan covers all regular full-time employees. The pension plan istax-qualified, non-contributory and administered by a trustee.

F-342



- 15 -

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefitplan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of thereporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The DBO is calculated every otheryear by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present

value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflowsusing a discount rate derived from the interest rate of a zero coupon government

bonds as published by Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation that aredenominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have termsof maturity approximating to the terms of the related post-employment liability.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the return on plan assets(excluding amount included in net interest) are reflected immediately in thestatement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in othercomprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Net interest is calculatedby applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period, taking account of anychanges in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the period as a result ofcontributions and benefit payments. Net interest is reported as part of Finance

Costs (Income) – net account in the statement of profit or loss.

Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period of anyplan amendment.

(b)

Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Companybefore the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntaryredundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes terminationbenefits at the earlier of when it can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefitsand when it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of

PAS 37, Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets , and involves the paymentof termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntaryredundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number ofemployees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 monthsafter the reporting period are discounted to their present value.


Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days(including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. Theyare included in the Trade and Other Payables account in the statement of financialposition at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of

the unused entitlement.


Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred,except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset(i.e., an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use orsale) are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowingcosts commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are beingincurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or saleare in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete.

F-343



- 16 -

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pendingtheir expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible forcapitalization.


The accounting records of the Company are maintained in Philippine pesos. Foreigncurrency transactions during the period are translated into the functional currency atexchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.

Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions andfrom the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of comprehensiveincome as part of profit or loss from operations.

2.17 Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current

tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.

Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscalauthorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaidat the end of the reporting period. They are calculated using the tax rates and tax lawsapplicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for theperiod. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component oftax expense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at theend of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and theircarrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with

certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporarydifferences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differencesand the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it isprobable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporarydifferences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end ofeach reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable thatfuture taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reportingperiod and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will beavailable to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to applyto in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rateshave been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of thereporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of taxexpense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized inother comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company has a legallyenforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and thedeferred taxes related to the same entity and the same taxation authority.

The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by the Bureauof Internal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent

a reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to beadjusted over time as more information becomes available.


Related party transactions are transfer of resources, services or obligations between theCompany and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other partyor exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operatingdecisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through oneor more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the

Company; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Companyand close members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) the Company’sretirement plan.


2.19 Equity

Events After the End of the Reporting Period

Any post-period-end event that provides additional information about the Company’sfinancial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in thefinancial statements. Post-period-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, aredisclosed when material to the financial statements.

F-345

The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS requiremanagement to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in thefinancial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluatedand are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future

events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results mayultimately differ from these estimates.

3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies


(a)

Determining the Useful Lives of Trademark

Under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, the legal life of trademark is

10 years and may be perpetually renewed thereafter for another 10 years. However,considering that the management does not expect any circumstances or events which will cause it to decide not to renew its trademarks every 10 years, managementhas taken the position that the useful lives of its trademarks are indefinite; hence therelated costs are not amortized but subjected to annual impairment testing(see Notes 2.7 and 2.13). Changes in assumption and circumstances in the future

will substantially affect the financial statements of the Company, particularly thecarrying value of such asset.

No impairment loss on trademark was recognized in both periods based onmanagement evaluation. The carrying value of the Company’s trademark as atDecember 31, 2013 and 2012 is presented in Note 10.

(b)


The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Judgment wasexercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operatingor finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewardsof ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to make the rightjudgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of assets andliabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to beoperating leases.

(c) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies

Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions andcontingencies. Accounting policies on recognition of provisions and contingenciesare discussed in Notes 2.10 and disclosure on relevant provision and contingenciesare presented in Note 19.

F-346

3.2

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources ofestimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk ofcausing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within thenext financial period:

(a) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables

Adequate amount of allowance is made for specific and groups of accounts, whereobjective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluates these accountsbased on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the lengthof the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’ current creditstatus based on known market forces, average age of accounts, collection experienceand historical loss experience.

Based on the analysis done by management, certain receivables were identified to beimpaired and have been provided with adequate allowance for impairment. The

carrying value of trade and other receivables and the analysis of allowance forimpairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.

(b) Determining Net Realizable Value of Inventories

In determining the net selling prices of inventories, management takes into accountthe most reliable evidence available at the times the estimates are made. It also takesinto consideration the obsolescence of the inventory in determining net realizable

value. The future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as disclosed inNote 7 is affected by price changes in different market segments. These aspects areconsidered key sources of estimation uncertainty and may cause significantadjustments to the Company’s inventories within the next financial period.

Impairment loss on inventory amounting to P4.5 million relating to expiredinventories that were written down to net realizable value is recognized in 2013(see Note 7). No similar writedown on inventories was made in 2012.

(c) Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based onthe period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimateduseful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and areupdated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear,technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the

assets.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9.Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, there is nochange in estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during thoseperiods. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates broughtabout by changes in factors mentioned above.

F-347



- 20 -

(d)

Determining Realizable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period andreduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to beutilized. Management assessed that the deferred tax assets recognized as of

December 31, 2013 will be fully utilized in the coming years.

The details of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 are disclosed in Note 16.

(e) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Except for trademarks with indefinite useful lives which are reviewed forimpairment annually or regularly, PFRS requires that an impairment review beperformed when certain impairment indicators are present. The Company’s policyon estimating the impairment of non-financial assets is discussed in detail inNote 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptions used in theestimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and

reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect theassessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have amaterial adverse effect on the results of operations.

No impairment loss on non-financial assets was recognized in 2013 and 2012.

(f)

Valuation of Post-employment Defined Benefit

The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employmentdefined benefit are dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used byactuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others,discount rates and salary increase rates. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that

differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and,therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in suchfuture periods.

The amount of post-employment benefit obligation (asset), related expense and ananalysis of the movements in the estimated present value of post-employmentbenefit obligation and fair value of plan asset are presented in Note 15.2.


The Company is exposed to certain financial risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 20. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its Board of Directors (BOD), andfocuses on actively securing the Company’s short to medium-term cash flows byminimizing the exposure to financial markets.

F-348

4.1 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to discharge an obligation to theCompany. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments arisingfrom selling goods to customers, including related parties, providing security deposits tolessors, and placing deposits with banks.

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties,identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its creditrisk controls. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount ofthe financial assets as shown on the statements of financial position (or in detailedanalysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below.

Notes 2013 2012

Cash and cash equivalents 5 42,985,172P 36,424,315P

Trade and

other receivables – net 6 258,579,504 246,999,008

Security deposits 10 1,780,295 1,780,295

303,344,971P 285,203,618P

None of the Company’s financial assets are secured by collateral or other creditenhancements, except for cash and cash equivalents as described below.

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since thecounterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Included inthe cash and cash equivalents are cash in banks and short-term placements. As part ofCompany policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions.

Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation(PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of P500,000 per depositor per banking institution, asprovided for under Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9576, Charter of PDIC , are still subject tocredit risk.

(b)

Trade and Other Receivables

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significantcredit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties havingsimilar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in

various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information aboutcustomer default rates, management consider the credit quality of trade receivables thatare not past due or impaired to be good.

F-349



- 22 -

Some of the financial assets, which are all trade receivables, are past due but unimpairedas at the end of the reporting periods. Trade receivables that are past due but notimpaired are as follows:

2013 2012

Not more than three months 78,650,977P 48,647,741PMore than three months but not more

than six months 6,546,544 24,223,084

85,197,521P 72,870,825P

The fair value of these short-term financial assets is not individually determined as thecarrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

4.2 Liquidity Risk

The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debtservicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due inday-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on aday-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection.Long-term liquidity needs for a 6-month and one-year period are identified monthly.

The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods.Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount ofcommitted credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

As at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractualmaturities within six months or less.

4.3 Foreign Currency Risk

Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Philippine pesos, its functionalcurrency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s overseaspurchases, which are denominated in United States (U.S.) dollars. The Company alsoholds U.S. dollar-denominated cash in banks.

To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-Philippine peso cashflows are monitored and settled within a short period, in the case of liabilities.

Accordingly, the Company does not have significant exposure to foreign currencyexchange rates.

In 2013, the Company’s management determined that certain raw materials and finishedgoods may no longer be used in production nor the carrying amounts can be recoveredthrough sale. Accordingly, the Company recognized impairment loss on inventoryamounting to P4.5 million which is presented as Loss on inventory obsolescence under

Administrative Expenses in the 2013 statement of comprehensive income[see Notes 3.2(b) and 13]. There was no loss on inventory obsolescence recognized in2012.

The amount recognized in other comprehensive income was classified as item that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

In determining the amounts of the post-employment benefit obligation, thefollowing significant actuarial assumptions were used:

2013 2012

Discount rates 4.63% 5.62%Expected rate of salary increases 3.00% 2.00%

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are based on published statisticsand mortality tables. The average remaining working lives of an individual retiring atthe age of 60 is 22 for males and 30 for females. These assumptions were developedby management with the assistance of an independent actuary. Discount factors aredetermined close to the end of each reporting period by reference to the interest

rates of a zero coupon bond government bonds with terms to maturityapproximating to the terms of the retirement obligation. Other assumptions arebased on current actuarial benchmarks and management’s historical experience.

(c) Risks Associated with the Retirement Plan

The plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interestrate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

(i) Investment and Interest Risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount ratedetermined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, adecrease in the interest rate of a reference government bond will increase the planobligation. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on theplan’s investments in debt securities and if the return on plan asset falls below thisrate, it will create a deficit in the plan. Currently, the plan has significant investmentin debt instruments.

F-362



- 35 -

(ii)

Longevity and Salary Risks

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to thebest estimate of the mortality of the plan participants both during and after theiremployment and to their future salaries. Consequently, increases in the lifeexpectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an increase in the plan

obligation.

(d)

Other Information

The information on the sensitivity analysis for certain significant actuarialassumptions, the Company’s asset-liability matching strategy, and the timing anduncertainty of future cash flows related to the retirement plan are described asfollows:

(i) Sensitivity Analysis

The following table summarizes the effects of changes in the significant actuarial

assumptions used in the determination of the defined benefit obligation as ofDecember 31, 2013:

Change in Increase in Decrease inassumption assumption assumption

Salary increase rate +9.3% to - 8.5% 238,550P 217,830 )( PDiscount rate +10.3% to - 9.1% 234,207 )( 263,271

Impact on post-employment define benefit obligation

The sensitivity analysis in the foregoing table is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. This analysis may not berepresentative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely

that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some ofthe assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the previous pagesensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has beencalculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period,

which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liabilityrecognized in the statements of financial position.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis didnot change compared to the previous years.

(ii) Asset-liability Matching Strategies

To efficiently manage the retirement plan, the Company ensures that the investmentpositions are managed in accordance with its asset-liability matching strategy toachieve that long-term investments are in line with the obligations under theretirement scheme. This strategy aims to match the plan assets to the retirementobligations by investing in long-term fixed interest securities (i.e., government orcorporate bonds) with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall dueand in the appropriate currency. The Company actively monitors how the durationand the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflowsarising from the retirement benefit obligations.

F-363



- 36 -

In view of this, investments are made in reasonably diversified portfolio congruentto the level of credit risks identified on such investments, such that the failure of anysingle investment will be minimized and would not have a material impact on theoverall level of assets.

A large portion of the plan assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consists of debt

securities, although the Company also invests in cash and cash equivalents and otherforms of investments. The Company believes that the debt securities which mainlyrepresent government bond investments offer the best returns over the long term

with an acceptable level of risk.

There has been no change in the Company’s strategies to manage its risks fromprevious periods.

(iii)

Funding Arrangements and Expected Contributions

The plan is currently overfunded by P0.6 million based on the latest actuarial valuation. While there are no minimum funding requirement in the country,

expected retirement of significant number of employees may pose a cash flow risk inabout 12 years’ time.

The maturity profile of undiscounted expected benefits payments from the plan isbetween 6 to 10 years amounting to P1.1 million.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of thereporting period is 12 years.

21. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE

21.1 Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with PFRS 13, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities andnon-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis

and those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value isdisclosed in accordance with other relevant PFRS, are categorized into three levels basedon the significance of inputs used to measure the fair value. The fair value hierarchy hasthe following levels:

a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesthat an entity can access at the measurement date;

b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observablefor the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived fromprices); and,

c) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

(unobservable inputs).

The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowestlevel of significant input to the fair value measurement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of thesefinancial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages. The policieshave been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

(a)

Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance withPhilippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by theFinancial Reporting Standards Council from the pronouncements issuedby the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

F-384



- 2 -

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement basesspecified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expenses. Themeasurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.

(b)


The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine AccountingStandards (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statement s. The Company presents all itemsof income and expenses in a single statement of comprehensive income. Twocomparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position when theCompany applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospectiverestatement of items in its financial statements, or reclassifies items in the financialstatements.

(c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, the Company’sfunctional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute amountsexcept when otherwise indicated.

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using itsfunctional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which theentity operates.


(a) Effective in 2012 that is Relevant to the Company

In 2012, the Company adopted PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments:Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets , effective for financial statements for the annualperiods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The amendment requires additionaldisclosures that will allow users of financial statements to understand the relationshipbetween transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety and theassociated liabilities; and, to evaluate the nature of, and risk associated with anycontinuing involvement of the reporting entity in financial assets that arederecognized in their entirety. The Company did not transfer any financial assetinvolving this type of arrangement; hence, the amendment did not result in anysignificant change in the Company’s disclosures in its financial statements.

(b) Effective in 2012 that are not Relevant to the Company

The following amendments and improvement to PFRS are mandatory for accountingperiods beginning on or after July 1, 2011 or January 1, 2012 but are not relevant to

the Company’s financial statements:

PFRS 1 (Amendment) : First time adoption of PFRS –Severe Hyperinflation and Removalof Fixed Date for First-time Adopters

PAS 12 (Amendment) : Income Taxes – Deferred Tax:Recovery of Underlying Assets

F-385



- 3 -

(c)


There are new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing standardsthat are effective for periods subsequent to 2012. Management has initiallydetermined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply inaccordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial

statements:

(i) PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items ofOther Comprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendmentrequires an entity to group items presented in other comprehensive incomeinto those that, in accordance with other PFRSs: (a) will not be reclassifiedsubsequently to profit or loss and (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profitor loss when specific conditions are met. The Company’s managementexpects that this will not change the current presentation of items in othercomprehensive income.

(ii)

PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). Therevision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughout

the standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows:

• eliminates the corridor approach under the existing guidance of PAS 19and requires an entity to recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising inthe reporting period;

• streamlines the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilitiesresulting in the disaggregation of changes into three main components ofservice costs, net interest on net defined benefit obligation or asset, andremeasurement; and,

•

enhances disclosure requirements, including information about the

characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities areexposed to through participation in those plans.

Currently, the Company is using the corridor approach and its unrecognizedactuarial loss as at December 31, 2012 which amounts to P1.1 million(see Note 14.2) which will be retrospectively recognized as loss in othercomprehensive income in 2013.

(iii)

PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendmentrequires qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and netamounts of recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance

with PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation . The amendment also requiresdisclosure of information about recognized financial instruments which aresubject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements,even if they are not set-off in the statement of financial position, includingthose which do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32and amounts related to a financial collateral. These disclosures will allowfinancial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of nettingarrangements, including rights of set-off associated with recognized financialassets and financial liabilities on the entity’s financial position. The Companyhas initially assessed that the adoption of the amendment will not have asignificant impact on its financial statements.

F-386



- 4 -

(iv)

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). Thisstandard aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing aprecise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurementand disclosure requirements for use across PFRS. The requirements do notextend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it shouldbe applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards.

Management is in the process of reviewing its valuation methodologies forconformity with the new requirements and has yet to assess the impact of thenew standard on the Company’s financial statements.

(v) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendmentprovides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria foroffsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right of set-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; inthe event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entityand all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principlebehind net settlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement

system that would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company doesnot expect this amendment to have a significant impact on its financialstatements.

(vi) PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective from January 1, 2015). This is the first part of a new standard on financialinstruments that will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and

Measurement , in its entirety. This chapter covers the classification andmeasurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and it deals with twomeasurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. Allequity instruments will be measured at fair value while debt instruments willbe measured at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collectcontractual cash flows which represent payment of principal and interest. Theaccounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial assetsis simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not they areclosely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation from thehost contract.

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements whichinclude amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, withbifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case wherethe fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair valuechange due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensiveincome rather than in profit or loss, unless this creates an accountingmismatch.

To date, other chapters of PFRS 9 dealing with impairment methodology andhedge accounting are still being completed.

Further, in November 2011, the IASB tentatively decided to consider makinglimited modifications to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9’sfinancial asset classification model to address certain application issues.

F-387



- 5 -

The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until itseffective date. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact ofPFRS 9 on the financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct acomprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to itsmandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.

(vii)

2009-2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS(2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which areeffective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Amongthose improvements, the following amendments are relevant to the Companybut management does not expect a material impact on the Company’sfinancial statements:

(a)

PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements – Clarification of theRequirements for Comparative Information . The amendment clarifies therequirements for presenting comparative information for the following:

• Requirements for opening statement of financial position

If an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes aretrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a materialeffect on the information in the statement of financial position at thebeginning of the preceding period (i.e., opening statement of financialposition), it shall present such third statement of financial position.

Other than disclosure of certain specified information in accordance with PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ,related notes to the opening statement of financial position as at thebeginning of the preceding period are not required to be presented.

• Requirements for additional comparative information beyondminimum requirements

If an entity presented comparative information in the financialstatements beyond the minimum comparative informationrequirements, the additional financial statements information should bepresented in accordance with PFRS including disclosure ofcomparative information in the related notes for that additionalinformation. Presenting additional comparative information voluntarily

would not trigger a requirement to provide a complete set of financialstatements.

(b)

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification ofServicing Equipment. The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistencyin the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resultedin classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used formore than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-byequipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plantand equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant andequipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory.

F-388



- 6 -

(c)

PAS 32 (Amendment ), Financial Instruments : Presentation – Tax Effect ofDistributions to Holders of Equity Instruments . The amendment clarifies thatthe consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of anequity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall beaccounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income taxrelating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized in

profit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equitytransaction is recognized in equity.


Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractualterms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated andeffective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financialassets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturityinvestments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to thedifferent categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for

which the investments were acquired.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. Allfinancial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair valueplus any directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets carried at FVTPL areinitially recorded at fair value and related transaction costs that are recognized in profit orloss.

The financial assets currently category relevant to the Company is loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Companyprovides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the

receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method for maturities extending beyond one year, less impairment losses. Anychange in their value is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss is provided whenthere is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts dueto it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of theimpairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount andthe present value of estimated cash flows.

The Company’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented as

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables (except deposit on purchases)and Other Non-current Assets, with respect to security deposits included therein, in thestatement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand,demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to knownamounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

All income and expenses, except impairment loss on trade and other receivables which isconsidered administrative expense, relating to financial assets that are recognized in profitor loss are presented as part of Finance Costs (Income) in the statement ofcomprehensive income.

F-389



- 7 -

Non-compounding interest, and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assetsare recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carryingamount of financial assets is measured.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from thefinancial instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and

rewards of ownership have been transferred.

2.4 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determinedusing the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process include thecost of raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead basedon normal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directlyattributable to acquisitions, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxesthat are not subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,

less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make thesale. Net realizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost.


Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation andamortization and any impairment loss. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase priceand directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intendeduse. Expenditures for additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized;expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of theassets as follows and any impairment loss:

Plant, machinery and equipment 2 to 10 yearsLaboratory tools and equipment 1 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or useful lives of theassets of 1 to 10 years, whichever is shorter.


Construction-in-progress represents properties undergoing construction. It is stated atcost which includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing cost (see Note 2.15) andother direct costs. This account is not depreciated until such time that the assets arecompleted and available for use.



F-390



- 8 -

An item of property, plant and equipment, including related accumulated depreciationand amortization and impairment losses, if any, is derecognized upon disposal or whenno future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the differencebetween the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in thestatement of comprehensive income in the year the item is derecognized.

2.6 Prepayments and Other Assets

Prepayment and other assets pertain to the other resources controlled by the Company asa result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it isprobable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a costor value that can be measured reliably.

Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expectedto flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period (or in thenormal operating cycle of the business, if longer), are classified as non-current assets.

The cost of trademarks is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value ofthe other considerations given up to acquire the trademark. The Company’s trademark isnot amortized but tested for impairment annually [see Notes 2.13and 3.1(a)].

2.8


Financial liabilities of the Company include trade and other payables (excepts tax-relatedliabilities) and due to related parties which are recognized when the Company becomes aparty to the contractual terms of the instrument. These are recognized initially at their

fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using effective interest methodfor maturities of more than one year less settlement payments. All interest-relatedcharges are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the caption Finance Costs(Income) in the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled withinone year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle ofthe business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defersettlement of liability for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period.Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities.

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only when

the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration.


Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in thestatement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off therecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assetand settle the liability simultaneously.

2.10

Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow ofeconomic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount ofthe outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of alegal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the presentobligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reportingperiod, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will berequired in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.

When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to theirpresent values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific tothe obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized asinterest expense. The provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period andadjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of presentobligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannotbe measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly,possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet therecognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognizedin the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Companycan be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation isrecognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision.


Revenue comprise of revenue from the sale of goods are measured by reference to the

fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods soldexcluding vlue-added tax (VAT).

Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it isprobable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred orto be incurred can be measured reliably. In addition, the following specific recognitioncriteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

(a)

Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of thegoods have passed to the buyer, i.e. generally when the customer has acknowledgeddelivery of goods.

(b) Interest income – Recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effectiveyield on the asset.

Costs and expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon receipt of goods and/orutilization of services or at the date they are incurred. All finance costs are reported inprofit or loss on an accrual basis.

2.12

Leases – Company as Lessee

Leases, which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits ofownership of the asset, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments arerecognized as expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basisover the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are

expensed as incurred.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on thesubstance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfilment of thearrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangementconveys a right to use the asset.


The Company’s trademarks, having an indefinite useful life, are tested for impairmentannually. Property, plant and equipment and other nonfinancial are tested forimpairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable.

For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for whichthere are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating unit). As a result, assets aretested for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generatingunit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is thehigher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, basedon an internal evaluation of discounted cash flow. Impairment loss is charged pro-rata toother assets in the cash-generating unit.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously

recognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to therecoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss.


The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through a definedbenefit plan.

(a)

Post-employment Benefits

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount ofpost-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually

dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. Thelegal obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan havebeen acquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to along-term benefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’spost-employment defined benefit pension plan covers all regular full-timeemployees. The pension plan is tax-qualified, noncontributory and administered bya trustee bank.

F-393



- 11 -

The assets recognized in the statement of financial position for post-employmentdefined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation(DBO) at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together

with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The DBO is calculated regularly by independent actuaries using the projectedunit credit method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting

the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporatebonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid andthat have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the relatedpost-employment liability.

Actuarial gains and losses are not recognized as an income or expense unless thetotal unrecognized gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the obligation andrelated plan assets. The amount exceeding this 10% corridor is charged or creditedto profit or loss over the employees’ expected average remaining working lives.

Actuarial gains and losses within the 10% corridor are disclosed separately. Pastservice costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to thepost-employment plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a

specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs areamortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

(b) Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Companybefore the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntaryredundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes terminationbenefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: (a) terminating theemployment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan withoutpossibility of withdrawal; or (b) providing termination benefits as a result of anoffer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than

12 months after the reporting period are discounted to present value.


Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days(including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. Theyare included in the Trade and Other Payables account in the statement of financialposition at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result ofthe unused entitlement.


Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred,except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., anasset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) arecapitalized as part of the cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costscommences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred andactivities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are inprogress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete.

2.16

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in Philippine pesos. Foreigncurrency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency atexchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.

Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions andfrom the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of comprehensiveincome as part of profit or loss from operations.

2.17 Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and currenttax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.

Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscalauthorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid

at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated using the tax rates and tax lawsapplicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for theyear. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of taxexpense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at theend of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and theircarrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, withcertain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporarydifferences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differencesand the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it isprobable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary

differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end ofeach reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable thatfuture taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reportingperiod and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will beavailable to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to applyto the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rateshave been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of taxexpense in profit or loss. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate toitems recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are recognized inother comprehensive income or directly in equity.

The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by the Bureauof Internal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates representa reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to beadjusted over time as more information becomes available.

2.18

Related Party Relationships and Transactions

Related party transactions are transfer of resources, services or obligations between theCompany and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party

or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operatingdecisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through oneor more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with theCompany; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the

voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Companyand close members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) the Company’sretirement plan.


2.19 Equity


Deposits for future stock subscriptions represent deposits from the parent company aspayment for future subscriptions.

Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reportedin the profit or loss section of the statements of comprehensive income .

2.20

Events After the End of the Reporting Period

Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’sfinancial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the

financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, aredisclosed when material to the financial statements.


The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS requiremanagement to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in thefinancial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluatedand are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of futureevents that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results mayultimately differ from these estimates.

3.1

Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies


(a)

Determining the Useful Lives of Trademark

Under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, the legal life of trademark is10 years and may be renewed every other 10 years. However, considering that themanagement does not expect any circumstances or events which will cause it todecide not to renew its trademarks every 10 years, management has taken theposition that the useful lives of its trademarks is indefinite; hence its costs is notamortized but subjected to annual impairment testing (see Note 2.7 and 2.13).Changes in assumption and circumstances in the future will substantially affect thefinancial statements of the Company, particularly the carrying value of assets.

No impairment loss on trademark was recognized in both years based on

management evaluation.

(b)


The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Judgment wasexercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operatingor finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewardsof ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to make the rightjudgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of assets andliabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to beoperating leases.

(c)

Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies

Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions andcontingencies. Accounting policies on provisions and contingencies are discussed inNotes 2.10 and relevant disclosures are presented in Note 18.



(a)

Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables

Adequate amount of allowance is made for specific and groups of accounts, whereobjective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluates these accountsbased on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the lengthof the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’ current creditstatus based on known market forces, average age of accounts, collection experienceand historical loss experience.

The carrying value of trade and other receivables and the analysis of allowance forimpairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.

F-397



- 15 -

(b)


In determining the net selling prices of inventories, management takes into accountthe most reliable evidence available at the times the estimates are made. It also takesinto consideration the obsolescence of the inventory in determining net realizable

value. The future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as disclosed in

Note 7 is affected by price changes in different market segments. These aspects areconsidered key sources of estimation uncertainty and may cause significantadjustments to the Company’s inventories within the next financial year.

No impairment loss on inventory was recognized in both years based onmanagement’s assessment..

(c)



The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed

periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due tophysical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or otherlimits on the use of the assets.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9.Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 there is nochange in estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during those years.

Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about bychanges in factors mentioned above.

(d)

Determining Recoverable Value of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period andreduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to beutilized.

The Company did not recognize any deferred tax assets as at December 31, 2012 and2011 as the management believes that it cannot realize the tax benefits from itsdeductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future. The details of deferredtax assets that were not recognized by the Company are disclosed in Note 15.

(e) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Except for trademarks with indefinite useful lives which are reviewed forimpairment annually or regularly, PFRS requires that an impairment review beperformed when certain impairment indicators are present. The Company’s policyon estimating the impairment of non-financial assets is discussed in detail inNote 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptions used in theestimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate andreasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect theassessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have amaterial adverse effect on the results of operations.

No impairment loss on non-financial assets was recognized both in 2012 and 2011.

F-398



- 16 -

(f)

Valuation of Post-employment Defined Benefit

The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employmentdefined benefit are dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used byactuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described inNote 14.2 and include, among others, discount rates, expected return on plan assets,

salary increase rate and employee turnover. In accordance with PFRS, actual resultsthat differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periodsand therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation insuch future periods.

The amount of retirement benefit asset and expense and an analysis of themovements in the estimated present value of retirement benefit asset are presentedin Note 14.2.


The Company is exposed to certain financial risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 19. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its Board of Directors, and focuseson actively securing the Company’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimizing theexposure to financial markets.


4.1 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to discharge an obligation to theCompany. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, forexample by granting loans and receivables to customers and placing deposits.

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties,identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its creditrisk controls. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. Inaddition, for a significant portion of sales, advance payments are received to mitigatecredit risk.

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of

the financial assets as shown on the statements of financial position (or in detailedanalysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below.

- 17 -

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since thecounterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Included inthe cash and cash equivalents are cash in banks and short-term placements. As part ofCompany policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions.

Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation(PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of P500,000 per depositor per banking institution, asprovided for under Republic Act (RA) No. 9576, Charter of PDIC , are still subject to creditrisk.

(b) Trade and Other Receivables

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significantcredit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties havingsimilar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in

various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information aboutcustomer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that

are not past due or impaired to be good.

Some of the unimpaired trade receivables are past due as at the end of the reportingperiod. Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired are as follows:

2012 2011

Not more than three months P 48,647,741 P 33,623,543More than three months but not more

than six months 24,223,084 6,990,171

P 72,870,825 P 40,613,714

4.2 Liquidity Risk

The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debtservicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due inday-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on aday-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection.Long-term liquidity needs for a 6-month and one-year period are identified monthly.

The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods.Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount ofcommitted credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

In 2012 and 2011, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities withinsix months.
