C. NATURE AND SCOPE OF BUSINESS

1. Business Overview

Splash Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 30, 1991 primarily to develop, manufacture, bottle, pack, and market cosmetics and other beauty products, and pharmaceutical products in the Philippines and abroad. On November 14, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD) approved to amend the primary purpose of the Articles of Incorporation to include the development or acquisition of technology to manufacture and sell personal care, pharmaceuticals, food, health, home, household care and other ancillary products in the Philippines and abroad.

Before the Company listed its shares of stock with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc. (SHI). On November 15, 2007, the Company’s shares of stock were listed and traded in the PSE. After the IPO wherein the Company offered 30% of outstanding shares (both primary and secondary) to the public, the Company became 70% owned by SHI. On December 4, 2008, the BOD approved to buy back the Company’s shares of stock totaling 30.3 million shares held by SHI. After the buyback, SHI’s ownership of the company increased from 70% to 71.17% and SHI continues to exercise control over the Company.

The Company’s registered office address is HBC Corporate Centre, 548 Mindanao Avenue corner Quirino Highway, Quezon City.

3. Marketing

The Company is positioned as a marketer of innovative personal care products. This positioning combined with an effective communication, pricing, sales and distribution strategies, provide a compelling value proposition for the Philippine mass market. Through new product launches and product reformatting, the Company keeps market excitement for its brands and product lines at high levels, resulting in market share growth. The Company uses television, radio and print advertising as well as in-store activities and promotions to communicate the benefits and features of its products to consumers. In addition to nationwide advertising programs, regional campaigns are also undertaken to increase consumer demand in specific geographic markets. The Company develops annual brand marketing plans that are based on market studies, trend analyses, focus groups, surveys, and portfolio reviews. These marketing plans go through an intensive approval process that forms part of the Company’s strategic and annual business planning cycle. Post-implementation evaluation studies are done to assess the effectiveness of the marketing initiatives and approaches.

4. Selling and Distribution

The Company’s distribution network consists of in-house and third party distributors. The Company delivers directly to strategic accounts, or what it calls the National Accounts Group (NAG). These accounts are Super Value, Inc. and Super SM (of the SM Group), Mercury Drug Inc., Watson’s, Robinson’s, HBC and IDS Philippines Inc. . For other key accounts and outlets, Splash utilizes twenty-four (24) third party distributors which are assigned specific territories.

Apart from National Accounts, Splash products are also sold to two other major trade groups: Modern Trade and General Trade. Modern Trade consists of all large accounts outside of NAG such as the Gaisano Group, Ever Gotesco, Puregold, Cherry Foodarama, and The Landmark. General Trade is composed of small retail trade outlets including groceries, stand-alone drugstores, sari-sari stores and market stalls.

In 2008, the lead brands of the skin care category continue to maintain market leadership as shown by market share data from AC Nielsen summarized in the preceding table (Products and Brands).

Expenses As shown by the cost summary table below, total cost and operating expenses increased by Php221 million (8.2%) to Php2.908 billion in 2008. (By comparison, total costs rose by Php535 million to Php2.687 billion in 2007). The increase in 2008 was largely due to the Php192 (15.9%) million rise in operating costs. Cost of goods sold increased by Php29 million (2%) to Php1.504 billion in 2008 Operating expenses increased in 2008 mainly as a result of the Php194 million (26.9%) rise in advertising and promotions (Php916 million in 2008) as the Company intensified its marketing and brand building initiatives in 2008. Increases in personnel costs (Php47 million:27%) and transportation and travel expenses (Php25 milllion: 37%) were largely offset by declines in other expense categories notably outside services (down Php43 million or 59.5%), and bad debts expense (lower by Php15 million or 76.3%).

SPLASH CORPORATION (A Subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Corporate Information General Splash Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the

Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 30, 1991 primarily to develop, manufacture, bottle, pack, and market cosmetics and other beauty products, and pharmaceutical products in the Philippines and abroad. On March 4, 2009, the SEC approved the Company’s amendment of the primary purpose of the Articles of Incorporation to include the development or acquisition of technology to manufacture and sell personal care, pharmaceuticals, food, health, home, household care and other ancillary products in the Philippines and abroad. Before the Company listed its shares of stock with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on November 15, 2007, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc. (SHI).

On November 15, 2007, the Company’s shares of stock were listed and traded in the PSE. After

the Initial Public Offering (IPO) wherein the Company offered 30% of its outstanding shares (both primary and secondary) to the public, the Company became 70%-owned by SHI. On December 4, 2008, the BOD approved to buyback the Company’s shares of stock totalling 30.30 million shares held by SHI (see Note 14f). After the buyback, SHI’s ownership in the Company increased from 70% to 71.17%, and SHI continues to exercise control over the Company (see Note 14).

The Company’s registered office address is HBC Corporate Centre, 548 Mindanao Avenue corner Quirino Highway, Quezon City.

The accompanying financial statements were authorized for issuance by the BOD on April 14, 2009.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets which have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Statement of Compliance The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).

Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the following: • PFRS 8, Operating Segments. The Company early adopted PFRS 8 which will become

effective on January 1, 2009. PFRS 8 replaces PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and adopts a full management approach to identifying, measuring and disclosing the results of an entity’s

- 2 -

operating segments. The information reported is that which management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments and allocating resources to those segments. Such information may be different from that reported in the balance sheet and statement of income, and the Company will provide explanations and reconciliations of the differences, if any. The adoption of this standard resulted in a change in the reportable segments from business segments consisting of naturals, skin care and hair care to geographical areas where the Company’s products are sold. Comparatives for 2007 and 2006 have been restated. The changes of disclosures relating to segment information are fully discussed in Note 21 to the financial statements.

• In 2008, the Company changed its accounting policy for actuarial gains or losses from

immediate recognition as income or expense to full recognition directly in equity under the statement of recognized income and expense (SORIE). This is to align the Company’s accounting policy with comparable companies within the industry.

The change in accounting policy was accounted for retroactively which resulted in the following:

Additional disclosures required as a result of the change in accounting policy were made in the financial statements (see Notes 18 and 22).

The following Philippine Interpretations International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations which became effective on January 1, 2008 and an amendment to an existing Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) that became effective on July 1, 2008 are determined by management to be not relevant and not applicable to the Company. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2, Group and Treasury Share Transactions

This Interpretation addresses issues relating to whether transactions should be accounted for as equity-settled or as cash-settled under PFRS 2 and issues concerning share-based payment arrangement involving entities within the same group. The Company has no share-based payments.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements

This Interpretation applies to contractual arrangements whereby a private sector party participates in the development, financing, operation and maintenance of infrastructure for public sector services. The Company has no service concession arrangements.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, PAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14 addresses how to assess the limit under PAS 19, Employee Benefits, on the amount of the pension scheme surplus that can be recognized as an asset in balance sheet, in particular, when a minimum funding requirement exists. This Interpretation has no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

- 3 -

• Amendments to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Reclassification of Financial Assets Entities are not permitted to reclassify financial assets in accordance with the amendments before July 1, 2008. Any reclassification of a financial asset made in periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008 will take effect only from the date the reclassification is made. The amendments to PAS 39 permit an entity to: (1) reclassify non-derivative financial assets (other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss by the entity upon initial recognition) out of the fair value through profit or loss category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term in particular circumstances; and (2) transfer from the available-for-sale category to the loans and receivables category a financial asset that would have met the definition of loans and receivables (if the financial asset had not been designated as available-for-sale), if the entity has the intention and ability to hold that financial asset for the foreseeable future. This amendment had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to

Existing Standards Effective Subsequent to December 31, 2008 The Company will adopt the following standards, amendment to existing standard and Interpretations enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Company does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations to have significant impact on its financial statements.

Effective in 2009

• PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards - Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate The amended PFRS 1 allows an entity, in its separate financial statements, to determine the cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates (in its opening PFRS financial statements) as one of the following amounts: a) cost determined in accordance with PAS 27; b) at the fair value of the investment at the date of transition to PFRS, determined in accordance with PAS 39; or c) previous carrying amount (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles) of the investment at the date of transition to PFRS.

• PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Vesting Condition and Cancellations The standard has been revised to clarify the definition of a vesting condition and prescribes the treatment for an award that is effectively cancelled. It defines a vesting condition as a condition that includes an explicit or implicit requirement to provide services. It further requires non-vesting conditions to be treated in a similar fashion to market conditions. Failure to satisfy a non-vesting condition that is within the control of either the entity or the counterparty is accounted for as cancellation. However, failure to satisfy a non-vesting condition that is beyond the control of either party does not give rise to a cancellation.

• Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

These Amendments introduce a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expenses recognized in the profit or loss together with “other comprehensive income” (OCI). Entities may choose to present all items in one statement, or to present two linked statements, a separate statement of income and a statement of comprehensive income. These amendments also require additional requirements in the presentation of the balance sheet and owner’s equity as well as additional disclosures to be included in the financial statements.

- 4 -

• PAS 23, Borrowing Costs

The standard has been revised to require capitalization of borrowing costs when such costs relate to a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. In accordance with the transitional requirements in the standard, the Company will adopt this as a prospective change. Accordingly, borrowing costs will be capitalized on qualifying assets with a commencement date after January 1, 2009. No changes will be made for borrowing costs incurred to this date that have been expensed.

• Amendments to PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements - Cost of an

Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate Amendments to PAS 27 will be effective on January 1, 2009 which has changes in respect of the holding companies separate financial statements including: (a) the deletion of “cost method”, making the distinction between pre- and post-acquisition profits no longer required; and (b) in cases of reorganizations where a new parent is inserted above an existing parent of the group (subject to meeting specific requirements), the cost of the subsidiary is the previous carrying amount of its share of equity items in the subsidiary rather than its fair value. All dividends will be recognized in profit or loss. However, the payment of such dividends requires the entity to consider whether there is an indicator of impairment.

• Amendment to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and PAS 1 Presentation of

Financial Statements - Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation These amendments specify, among others, that puttable financial instruments will be classified as equity if they have all of the following specified features: (a) the instrument entitles the holder to require the entity to repurchase or redeem the instrument (either on an ongoing basis or on liquidation) for a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets; (b) the instrument is in the most subordinate class of instruments, with no priority over other claims to the assets of the entity on liquidation; (c) all instruments in the subordinate class have identical features; (d) the instrument does not include any contractual obligation to pay cash or financial assets other than the holder’s right to a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets; and (e) the total expected cash flows attributable to the instrument over its life are based substantially on the profit or loss, a change in recognized net assets, or a change in the fair value of the recognized and unrecognized net assets of the entity over the life of the instrument.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes This Interpretation requires customer loyalty award credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted and therefore part of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to the award credits and realized in income over the period that the award credits are redeemed or expire.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation

This Interpretation provides guidance on identifying foreign currency risks that qualify for hedge accounting in the hedge of net investment; where within the group, the hedging instrument can be held in the hedge of a net investment; and how an entity should determine the amount of foreign currency gains or losses, relating to both the net investment and the hedging instrument, to be recycled on disposal of the net investment.

Improvements to PFRS In May 2008, the International Accounting Standards Board issued its first omnibus of amendments to certain standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard:

Effective in 2009

• PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations When a subsidiary is held for sale, all of its assets and liabilities will be classified as held for

sale under PFRS 5, even when the entity retains a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary after the sale.

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements Assets and liabilities classified as held for trading are not automatically classified as current in

the balance sheet.

• PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment The amendment replaces the term “net selling price” with “fair value less costs to sell”, to be

consistent with PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and PAS 36, Impairment of Assets.

Items of property, plant and equipment held for rental that are routinely sold in the ordinary course of business after rental, are transferred to inventory when rental ceases and they are held for sale. Proceeds of such sales are subsequently shown as revenue. Cash payments on initial recognition of such items, the cash receipts from rents and subsequent sales are all shown as cash flows from operating activities.

• PAS 19, Employee Benefits Revises the definition of “past service costs” to include reductions in benefits related to past

services (“negative past service costs”) and to exclude reductions in benefits related to future services that arise from plan amendments. Amendments to plans that result in a reduction in benefits related to future services are accounted for as a curtailment.

Revises the definition of “return on plan assets” to exclude plan administration costs if they

have already been included in the actuarial assumptions used to measure the defined benefit obligation.

Revises the definition of “short-term” and “other long-term” employee benefits to focus on the

point in time at which the liability is due to be settled. Deletes the reference to the recognition of contingent liabilities to ensure consistency with

PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

• PAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance Loans granted with no or low interest rates will not be exempt from the requirement to impute

interest. The difference between the amount received and the discounted amount is accounted for as a government grant.

• PAS 23, Borrowing Costs Revises the definition of borrowing costs to consolidate the types of items that are considered

components of “borrowing costs”, i.e., components of the interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method.

- 6 -

• PAS 28, Investment in Associates If an associate is accounted for at fair value in accordance with PAS 39, only the requirement

of PAS 28 to disclose the nature and extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the associate to transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash or repayment of loans applies. An investment in an associate is a single asset for the purpose of conducting the impairment test. Therefore, any impairment test is not separately allocated to the goodwill included in the investment balance.

• PAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies Revises the reference to the exception that assets and liabilities should be measured at

historical cost, such that it notes property, plant and equipment as being an example, rather than implying that it is a definitive list.

• PAS 31, Interest in Joint ventures If a joint venture is accounted for at fair value, in accordance with PAS 39, only the

requirements of PAS 31 to disclose the commitments of the venturer and the joint venture, as well as summary financial information about the assets, liabilities, income and expense will apply.

• PAS 36, Impairment of Assets When discounted cash flows are used to estimate “fair value less cost to sell” additional

disclosure is required about the discount rate, consistent with disclosures required when the discounted cash flows are used to estimate “value in use”.

• PAS 38, Intangible Assets Expenditure on advertising and promotional activities is recognized as an expense when the

Company either has the right to access the goods or has received the services. Advertising and promotional activities now specifically include mail order catalogues.

Deletes references to there being rarely, if ever, persuasive evidence to support an

amortization method for finite life intangible assets that results in a lower amount of accumulated amortization than under the straight-line method, thereby effectively allowing the use of the unit of production method.

• PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Changes in circumstances relating to derivatives - specifically derivatives designated or de-

designated as hedging instruments after initial recognition - are not reclassifications. When financial assets are reclassified as a result of an insurance company changing its

accounting policy in accordance with paragraph 45 of PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, this is a change in circumstance, not a reclassification.

Removes the reference to a “segment” when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a

hedge. Requires use of the revised effective interest rate (rather than the original effective interest

rate) when re-measuring a debt instrument on the cessation of fair value hedge accounting.

• PAS 40, Investment Properties Revises the scope (and the scope of PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment) to include

property that is being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property. Where an entity is unable to determine the fair value of an investment property under construction, but expects to be able to determine its fair value on completion, the investment under construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or construction is complete.

• PAS 41, Agriculture Removes the reference to the use of a pre-tax discount rate to determine fair value, thereby

allowing use of either a pre-tax or post-tax discount rate depending on the valuation methodology used.

Removes the prohibition to take into account cash flows resulting from any additional

transformations when estimating fair value. Instead, cash flows that are expected to be generated in the “most relevant market” are taken into account.

• Revised PFRS 3, Business Combinations and PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

The revised PFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. The revised PAS 27 requires, among others, that (a) change in ownership interests of a subsidiary (that do not result in loss of control) will be accounted for as an equity transaction and will have no impact on goodwill nor will it give rise to a gain or loss; (b) losses incurred by the subsidiary will be allocated between the controlling and non-controlling interests (previously referred to as ‘minority interests’); even if the losses exceed the non-controlling equity investment in the subsidiary; and (c) on loss of control of a subsidiary, any retained interest will be remeasured to fair value and this will impact the gain or loss recognized on disposal. The changes introduced by the revised PFRS 3 and PAS 27 must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions and transactions with non-controlling interests.

• Amendment to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items

Amendment to PAS 39 will be effective on July 1, 2009, which addresses only the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The amendment clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item.

Effective in 2012

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for Construction of Real Estate This Interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. This Interpretation requires that revenue on construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under

- 8 -

PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis, will also be accounted for based on stage of completion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates of acquisition and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Date of recognition The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the balance sheet when it

becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. In the case of a regular way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done using settlement date accounting. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Initial recognition of financial instruments All financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. Except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), the initial measurement of all financial assets includes transaction costs. The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments and AFS investments. The Company also classifies its financial liabilities into financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has no financial instruments classified as HTM investments.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax benefits. Determination of fair value The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organized financial market is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business at the balance sheet date. When the current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction.

For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation methodologies. Valuation methodologies include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instrument for which market observable prices exist and other relevant valuation models.

- 9 -

Day 1 profit Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Company recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 profit) in the statement of income, unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where use of data is made which are not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Company determines the appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1” profit amount. Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and liabilities held for trading purposes, derivative financial instruments or those financial assets and liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivative instruments, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments in hedge accounting or a financial guarantee contract.

Financial assets and financial liabilities may be designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if any of the following criteria are met: • the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would

otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on a different basis; or

• the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or

• the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are accounted for in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded as interest income or expense, respectively. Dividend income is recorded in other income when the right to receive payment has been established.

The Company’s embedded derivative is included under this category.

Embedded Derivative

An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met: a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract; b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at FVPL.

The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host

contracts when the Company first becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required.

- 10 -

The Company determines whether a modification to cash flows is significant by considering the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the embedded derivative, the host contract or both have changed and whether the change is significant relative to the previously expected cash flows on the contract. The Company has identified certain contracts with embedded third-currency derivatives (see Notes 7 and 25).

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition measurement, such assets are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets (see Notes 5 and 8).

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, note receivable and advances to a

stockholder are classified under this category. AFS investments AFS investments are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as such or do not qualify

to be classified as designated as at FVPL, loans and receivables or HTM investments. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions.

After initial recognition, the Company measures its AFS investments at fair value with gains or

losses being recognized as a separate component of equity under “Unrealized Valuation Gain on Available-for-Sale Investments” until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the statement of income. These financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless there is intention to dispose such assets within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

When the fair value of AFS investments cannot be measured reliably because of lack of reliable

estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value of unquoted equity instruments, these investments are carried at cost, less any allowance for impairment losses.

When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is

recognized in the statement of income. Where the Company holds more than one investment in the same security, these are deemed to be disposed of on a first-in-first-out basis. Interest earned on the AFS investment is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned are recognized on the statement of income when the right to receive payment is established. The losses arising from impairment investments are recognized in the statement of income.

The Company’s AFS investments consist of investments in quoted and unquoted equity shares and

are classified under noncurrent assets (see Note 10).

- 11 -

Other financial liabilities This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for trading or designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arising from operations (e.g. accounts payable and accrued liabilities) and loans and borrowings. All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less debt issue costs associated with the borrowings.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and debt issue costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. The Company’s other financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses and floating-rate notes payable (see Notes 12 and 13). Impairment of Financial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event or events has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Assets carried at amortized cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the statement of income. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss will be reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.

- 12 -

With respect to receivables, the Company performs a regular review of the age and status of these accounts, designed to identify accounts with objective evidence of impairment and provide the appropriate allowance for impairment losses. The review is accomplished using a combination of specific and collective assessment approaches, with the impairment losses being determined for each risk grouping identified by the Company.

AFS investments carried at fair value For AFS investment, the Company assesses at each balance sheet whether there is objective evidence that an investment is impaired. If an AFS investment carried at fair value is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the statement of income, is transferred from equity to the statement of income. In the case of equity investment classified as AFS investments, objective evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Reversals of impairment losses in respect of equity instruments classified as AFS are not recognized in the statement of income.

Assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred in an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

Renegotiated receivables

The Company seeks to restructure receivables rather than to take further legal actions. This involves extending the payment arrangements and the arrangement of the new receivable conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the receivables are no longer considered past due. Management continuously reviews renegotiated receivables to ensure that future payments are likely to occur. The receivables continue to be subject to individual or collective impairment assessment.

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where:

a. the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; b. the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an

obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or

c. the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset and either has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

- 13 -

Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the balance sheet.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Costs incurred in bringing each inventories to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Finished goods and work in process - Cost is determined based on the moving average

method. Cost includes direct materials, labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead costs based on normal operating capacity.

Raw materials - Cost is determined using the moving average

method. Land for development - Carried at the lower of cost and NRV.

NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, except land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. Land is stated at cost less any impairment losses.

The initial cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and any

directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to income in the period the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property, plant and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as additional costs of the property, plant and equipment.

Assets under installation are carried at cost and transferred to the related property, plant and

equipment account when the installation and related activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are complete and the assets are ready for use.

- 14 - Depreciation commences once the property, plant and equipment are available for use and

computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

YearsBuildings and improvements 10-15 Machinery and equipment 5 Transportation equipment 5 Office furniture and fixtures 2-5 Other equipment 2-5

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to

the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further

depreciation and amortization are credited to or charged against current operations.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the residual values, periods and method of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment loss are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited to or charged against current operations.

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that the

nonfinancial assets, like property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair

value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognized in the statement of income.

An assessment is further made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of income. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

- 15 -

Debt Issuance Costs Transaction costs paid in relation to the issuance of the floating rate promissory notes issued to a syndicate of lenders, shown as a contra-liability account to the floating rate notes payable, are deferred and being amortized over the term of the notes starting August 1, 2007 until August 31, 2012 using the effective interest rate method.

Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense in the statement of income.

Treasury Stock Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as deduction from equity. When the shares are retired, the capital stock account is reduced by its par value and the excess of cost over par value upon retirement is debited to additional paid-in-capital to the extent of the specific or average additional paid-in-capital when the shares were issued and to retained earnings for the remaining balance.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Sales are recognized upon delivery of goods to customers. Land for development - revenue on sale of land for development is recognized only to the extent cash is received or when the exchange consideration can be measured reliably. Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest rate method. Retirement Benefits Cost Retirement benefits cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. This method considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each separately to build up the final obligation. Past service costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits are already vested immediately, upon introduction of a new plan or improvement of an existing plan, past service costs are immediately expensed. Any actuarial gains and losses and adjustments arising from the limits on asset ceiling test are taken directly to equity. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of pension benefits are recognized in the statement of income when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

- 16 -

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation less past service cost not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Operating lease payments where the Company is a lessee are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease contracts.

Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred and are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.

Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Philippine peso, the Company’s functional currency, based on the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Outstanding foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are restated to Philippine peso using the closing exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from the translation or settlement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates different from those at which the assets and liabilities are initially recorded, are taken to the statement of income.

Income Tax Current Income Tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred Income Tax Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and unused tax losses or net operating loss carry over (NOLCO) to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not

in the statement of income.

- 17 -

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) Basic EPS is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding, after giving retroactive adjustments for any stock split and stock dividends or reverse stock splits during the year. The Company does not have dilutive potential common shares.

Segment Reporting The Company chose to organize the entity into geographical areas, where the Company’s products are sold. The Company’s operating segments consist of: (1) Domestic operations and (2) International operations. In addition, the operating segments are reported in a manner that is more consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the BOD that makes strategic decisions. The Company has no inter-segment sales and transactions.

Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. These are disclosed unless the

possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Events After the Balance Sheet Date Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Company’s position at the

balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to financial statements when material.

3. Management’s Significant Accounting Judgments and Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of any change in estimates will be reflected in the financial statements when they become reasonably determinable.

- 18 - Judgments In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements as follows:

Determination of the Company’s functional currency Based on the economic substance of the underlying circumstances relevant to the Company, the functional currency of the Company has been determined to be the Philippine peso. It is the currency that mainly influences the selling price of goods and cost of producing and selling the goods.

Assessment whether the lease agreement is a finance or operating lease The management assesses at the inception of the lease whether the arrangement is a finance or operating lease based on who bears substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item. The Company has entered into a property lease where it has determined that the risks and rewards related to the property are retained with the lessor. As such, the agreement is accounted for as an operating lease.

Impairment of AFS investments The Company treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgment. The Company treats “significant” generally as 20% or more of the original cost of investment, and “prolonged”, greater than 6 months. In addition, the Company evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of the Company’s AFS investments amounted to P=215.95 million and P=219.77 million, respectively (see Note 10).

Estimation Uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts Provisions are made using a combination of specific and collective assessment approaches, with impairment losses being determined for each risk grouping identified by the Company. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the length of the Company’s relationship with its debtors, the debtors’ payment behavior and known market factors. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Company made different judgments or utilized different methodologies. An increase in allowance for doubtful accounts would increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease current assets. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to P=33.82 million and P=29.09 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The amount of receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to P=1,087.81 million and P=1,024.45 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (see Note 5).

- 19 -

Estimation of allowance for inventory obsolescence and market decline The Company, in determining the NRV of inventories, considers any adjustments necessary for obsolescence, which is generally provided 100% allowance on nonmoving items or expired or near expiring (inventories which will expire within six months) inventories. The Company adjusts the cost of the inventory to its recoverable value at a level considered adequate to reflect market decline in the value of the recorded inventories. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments were made or different estimates were utilized. An increase in allowance for inventory obsolescence and market decline would increase recorded operating expenses and decrease current assets. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, allowance for inventory obsolescence amounted to P=34.89 million and P=36.00 million, respectively (see Note 6).

Estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment The useful life of each of the item of property, plant and equipment are estimated based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use. Such estimation is based on a collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed periodically and updated 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 asset. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease the noncurrent assets.

There is no change in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment amounted to P=272.07 million and P=294.57 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (see Note 9).

Asset impairment The Company assesses impairment of assets (property, plant and equipment) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that would trigger an impairment review include the following: • Significant underperformance relative to the future sales performance and projected operating

results. • Significant negative industry or market trends. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value-in-use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. For impairment loss on a specific asset, the recoverable amount represents the net selling price. Based on the evaluation made by management, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no indication of impairment was noted.

Recognition of deferred income tax assets The Company reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income taxes at each balance sheet date and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. However, there is no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of its recognized deferred income tax assets to be utilized. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized deferred income tax assets amounting to P=33.19 million and P=37.05 million, respectively (see Note 20). Retirement benefits cost and obligation The present value of the pension obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost for pensions include the discount rate, mortality rate and compensation increase.

The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the discount rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates on government bonds that are denominated in Philippine peso, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. The details of retirement benefits cost are disclosed in Note 18. Retirement benefits liability recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2007 amounted to P=37.93 million (nil in 2008). Retirement benefits cost amounted to P=13.84 million, P=10.28 million and P=6.88 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively (see Note 18).

Provisions and contingencies The estimate of probable costs of resolution of possible claims has been developed in consultation with external counsels handling the Company’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Company is a party to certain lawsuits or claims arising from the ordinary course of business. However, the Company’s management and legal counsel believe that the eventual liabilities under these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements (see Note 27).

Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using internal valuation techniques using generally accepted market valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimates are used in establishing fair values.

The carrying values and fair values of financial instruments, as well as the methods on how the fair values were derived are discussed in Note 25.

Company and ordered the BIR to refund the claim for refund for excess income taxes the Company paid for the taxable year 2002 amounting to P=47,469,548 arising from its retroactive application of the income tax exemption incentives under RA No. 7459. On October 30, 2007, the CTA denied the Motion for Reconsideration that the BIR filed. On December 7, 2007, the BIR filed a petition for review with the CTA En Banc which the CTA En Banc denied. On May 6, 2008, the CTA En Banc unanimously decided in favor of the Company.

Based on the above facts, the Company recognized the receivable from the BIR amounting to

P=47,469,548 and recognized “Recovery of prior income taxes paid” for the same amount in 2007 (see Note 20).

On August 4, 2008, the Supreme Court denied the Petition for Review on Certiorari filed by

the BIR. On February 17, 2009, the CTA Second Division granted the Motion of Execution that the Company filed.

e. The regular corporate income tax effective January 1, 2009 is 30% as provided under Republic

No. 9337 on the E-VAT Act of 2005.

21. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable segments in accordance with PFRS 8 are as follows:

Domestic Operations - sells and markets personal, health and beauty products through distributors located within the Philippines.

International Operations - sells and markets personal, health and beauty products through foreign distributors located outside the Philippines and through local consolidators located within the Philippines.

For management purposes, the Company chose to organize the entity into geographical areas where its products are sold. Management monitors the operating results of business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources to be allocated and of assessing performance. Segment performance is evaluated based on Net sales and Operating profit or loss. Operating profit is obtained only by deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Finance costs, finance income and income taxes are managed at the Company level. Segment assets only include receivables and inventories. All other assets are not allocated to the segments as part of information provided to CODM. Segment liabilities are not reported to the CODM.

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, advances to a stockholder and accounts payable and accrued expenses The carrying amounts of the aforementioned financial assets and liabilities approximate the fair values due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

Note receivable The fair value of the note receivable with fixed interest rate is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the prevailing rate as of the reporting date. Discount rates used range from 7.65% to 8.38% and 7.30% to 7.61% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

AFS investments The fair value of quoted AFS investments was determined by reference to market bid quotation as of balance sheet date. The fair value of unquoted AFS investments was determined based on the latest sale transaction as of balance sheet date as confirmed by the issuer.

Floating rate notes payable The carrying value approximates the fair value because of the quarterly repricing of interest rates

based on market conditions. Derivative asset The fair value of derivative asset is based on valuation technique using market observable inputs

such as interest rates and spot rates. 26. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, advances to a stockholder, AFS investment, and floating rate notes payable. The main purpose of the Company’s financial instruments is to fund its operations and capital expenditures. The Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expense which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The BOD reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows from a financial instrument (cash interest rate risk) or its fair value (fair value interest rate risk) will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

- 44 -

The Company’s floating rate notes payable is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk (see Note 13). The repricing of the floating rate notes payable is done on intervals of three (3) months.

The Company regularly monitors interest rate movements and, on the basis of current and

projected economic and monetary data, decides on the best alternative to take. The Company has a one time option under its Notes Facility to convert the interest rate from floating to fixed rate. The Company monitors the interest rate volatility to determine whether the option to change the interest rate to fixed rate has to be exercised, to protect it from spiraling interest costs should interest rates go up.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of income before income tax as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 due to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant.

Increase/decrease in market basis points

Effect on income before income tax Increase (decrease)

2008 +240 bps (P=22.79 million) -240 bps 22.79 million

2007 +10bps (P=1.00 million) -10bps 1.00 million

There is no other impact on the Company’s equity other than those already affecting profit on loss.

Foreign currency risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from its exposure to the US dollar rate fluctuation on its trade receivables on export sales and cash and cash equivalents denominated in US dollars.

It is not considered practical or cost effective at present to use financial instruments or derivatives to manage the Company’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuation. Instead, foreign exchange rates are reviewed and monitored periodically by the Company’s BOD. The Company maintains U.S. dollar accounts to manage its foreign currency denominated transactions.

The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 of the Company’s foreign currency-denominated financial assets and liabilities are as follows:

2008 2007 In U.S. dollar In Php In U.S. dollar In Php Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $568,820 P=27,030,334 $1,144,169 P=47,231,296 Receivables - net 2,974,290 141,368,000 1,613,105 66,588,974 3,543,110 168,398,334 2,757,274 113,820,270Financial liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses – –

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible movement of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, of the Company’s income before income tax due to changes in fair value of monetary assets and liabilities.

2008 + 9% (P=15.15 million) - 9% 15.15 million 2007 +6.73% (P=7.32 million) -6.73% 7.32 million

Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss because its customers or counterparties failed to discharge their contractual obligations. The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy customers. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures and credit positions are monitored on a regular basis. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Outstanding receivables are mostly from big retail store chains which the Company services directly. Credit lines on these accounts are reviewed on a regular basis. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheets.

The table below shows the credit quality of the Company’s receivables based on their historical experience with the corresponding third parties. December 31, 2008 (in Millions) Neither past due nor impaired

High Grade financial assets are those cash and cash equivalents transacted with reputable local banks and related party, receivables from clients or customers that consistently pay their accounts on or before the due date and AFS investments transacted with counterparties that regularly declare dividends. Standard grade receivables includes receivables that are collected on their due dates even without an effort from the Company to follow them up while receivables which are collected on their due dates provided that the Company made a persistent effort to collect them are included under Sub-standard Grade receivables. Past due receivables and advances include those that are past due but are still collectible. An analysis of past due receivables, by age, is provided on the next table. The majority of these past due receivables are not considered to be impaired.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall under normal and stress circumstances. The Company’s objective is to always maintain a certain level of cash up to 14 days sales. Receivable monitoring is performed on a daily basis to ensure positive liquidity. Standby credit lines are available from overdraft facilities and omnibus lines provided by banks. Excess funds are deposited in high-interest yield placements with terms of between 7 to 30 days.

Capital Management The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business, continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure that would reduce the cost of capital.

The Company regularly monitors its use of capital using leverage ratios, such as debt-to-equity ratio, and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and its own financial position. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

The following table summarizes the total capital considered by the Company as of December 31:

As described in Note 13-Floating Rate Notes, the Company is subject to certain negative covenants that could affect the Company’s capital structure. These include provisions such as contracting additional loans; declaration or payment of dividends in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s previous year’s net income; purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for

value its capital stock; maintaining a current ratio of at least 2.0 and debt-to-equity ratio of not more than 1.5 until final payment. The Company’s debt-to-equity ratio as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 is 0.65 and 0.66, respectively.

27. Contingencies

Except as disclosed in the following paragraphs, the Company is not a party to, and no property of the Company is subject to, any other pending material legal proceedings.

a. BIR Assessment

The Company is a petitioner in a CTA case entitled Splash Corp. v. Commissioner of Internal

Revenue filed in the CTA Second Division. The Company seeks the CTA to review/revise/recall the assessment/collection notice of July 3, 2003. The Company has been assessed by the BIR in the amount of P16,123,980 for VAT interest and penalties and surcharges for VAT return periods February 28, 2002 - March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003. The CTA issued a decision in the case on August 28, 2008. On January 16, 2009, the CTA issued a resolution denying the Motion for Reconsideration filed by the Company. On February 4, 2009, the Company filed a Petition for Review with the CTA En Banc, seeking the Court to reverse and set aside its decision of August 28, 2008 and resolution of January 16, 2009. The case is still in progress and management believes that this case will not materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

b. Others

The Company is also involved in certain other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary

course of its business.

Management and the Company’s legal counsel strongly believe that the liabilities, if any that may result from the final outcome of these cases and assessments will not materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

28. Note to 2007 Statement of Cash Flows In September 2007, the Company received shares of stock of Professional Services, Inc. amounting to P=200.00 million from SHI as partial payment of its advances from the Company (see Note 10).
