October 2011. Dissenters' Right of Appraisal

Generally, a stockholder shall have the right to dissent and demand payment of the value of his shares in the instances stated in Section 81 of the Corporation Code, as follows: (a) amendment of the articles of incorporation which has the effect of changing or restricting the rights of any stockholders or class of shares; or authorizing preferences in any respect superior to those outstanding; or of extending or shortening the term of corporate existence; (b) in case of sale, lease, exchange, transfer, mortgage, pledge or disposition of all or substantially all of the corporate property and assets; and (c) in case of merger and consolidation.

The appraisal right abovementioned may be exercised by any stockholder who shall have voted against the proposed corporate action, by making a written demand on the corporation within 30 days after the date on which the vote was taken for payment of the fair value of his shares: Provided, That failure to make the demand within such period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right. If the proposed corporate action is implemented or affected, the corporation shall pay to such stockholder, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates of stock representing his shares, the fair value thereof as of the day prior to the date on which the vote was taken, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of such corporate action.

If within a period of 60 days from the date the corporate action was approved by the stockholders, the withdrawing stockholder and the corporation cannot agree on the fair value of the shares, it shall be determined and appraised by three disinterested persons, one of whom shall be named by the stockholder, another by the corporation, and the third by the two thus chosen. The findings of the majority of the appraisers shall be final, and their award shall be paid by the corporation within 30 days after such award is made: Provided, That no payment shall be made to any dissenting stockholder unless the corporation has unrestricted retained earnings in its books to cover such payment: and Provided, further, That upon payment by the corporation of the agreed or awarded price, the stockholder shall forthwith transfer his shares to the corporation.

The present meeting, is being called to approve the following matters:

(1) Approval of the Minutes of the Previous Stockholders’ Meeting dated 22 November 2010 (2) Approval of the Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 (including the Audited Consolidated

Meeting (4) Nomination and Election of Directors; and (5) Confirmation of External Auditors.

interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the annual meeting. (2) No director of the Company intends or has expressed an intention to oppose any action to be

Annex A PRIME ORION PHILIPPINES, INC.

Management Report FY 2010/2011

Prime Orion Philippines, Inc. (the “Company”) (then named Philippine Orion Properties, Inc.), was incorporated in 1989 as an investment holding company.

(GAPI)]; consequently, the Company was renamed as Guoco Holdings (Philippines), Inc. (GHPI). On 2 October 2001, GAPI and GHPI mutually agreed to terminate their Management Contract to enable GHPI to better position itself in the Philippines and capitalize on the local conditions existing at that time. Consequently, on 4 January 2002, GHPI changed its name to Prime Orion Philippines, Inc..

(iv) New Products or Services LCI continues to launch new tile designs, especially for its rustic tiles. FPIC continues to improve on its, and develop new, insurance products for its market/clients. (v) Competition The Company competes with other investment holding companies in the Philippines in terms of investment prospects. The Company’s core businesses continue to compete in their respective industries. However, competition is kept basically on a domestic level. The Company’s core businesses are as follows:

1. LCI - LCI competes in the ceramic tile manufacturing market. It faces competition with the local brands

as well as cheap-priced imported tiles. LCI has increased its efforts to reduce its operating cost by lowering total production cost by using alternative sources of raw materials and fuel, complemented by more efficient production cycle times, lower wastages and rationalization in its organizational structure. To remain competitive, LCI continues to introduce new product lines/designs and product innovation and has focused on rustic tile designs. To enable LCI to focus its efforts on tile manufacturing, OMI works as the sales and marketing arm of LCI. To ensure visibility and availability of its products, LCI operates a retail showroom at Tutuban Prime Block Building; its products are also available at the DIY stores and home depots (like MC Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Wilcon, Citihardware).

2. TPI - TPI operates the Tutuban Commercial Center in Manila, known as the premier bargain center in

the country. Its competitors include other mall operators/lessors within Metro Manila. TPI’s Night Market and Food Street operations continue to draw customer traffic. TPI has developed its Tutuban Mall eXhibit (TMX) area intended to be the venue for many events in Tutuban. TPI capitalizes on aggressive tri-media advertising and promotional campaigns to enhance customer awareness about Tutuban Center. With the renewal of its lease, TPI will commence the redevelopment of its existing buildings. As per plans, TPI will start redevelopment/refurbishment of its Cluster Building in November 2011. Recently, TPI has secured accreditation from the Department of Tourism as tourist destination.

3. FPIC – FPIC competes with other non-life insurance companies. To expand its customer base and

market share, FPIC maintains branches in Metro Manila, specifically, in Cubao, Caloocan and Alabang, and key cities in the provinces of Cavite, Cebu, Bacolod, Dagupan, Davao and Cagayan de Oro. To remain competitive, FPIC continues to develop diverse and customized products which cater to the unique needs of its target market- the retail market, and to improve its existing products and services to its customers. There was also increased focus on lines with high premium retention such as motor car, personal accident and residential accounts.

4. OMI - As for tile distribution, OMI competes with distributors of other tile manufacturers and importers.

OMI competes with other land title management service providers. (vi) Purchases of Raw Materials and Supplies The Company’s raw materials and supplies are purchased on a competitive basis from many different sources and are readily available. (vii) Customers POPI has a broad market base for its numerous product lines and is not dependent on a single customer or group of customers. For its real estate and property development operations, POPI’s potential customers include middle to high-income home buyers as well as real estate investors and developers. For its manufacturing operations, LCI’s ceramic tile products cater to the construction industry (including the renovation market) and its variety of products appeal to medium-end and low-end consumers. OMI targets known project developers and contractors. For 2011, LCI focused to define LCI’s expertise and reputation as the leading rustic ceramic tile designs. In line with the demand of its market, LCI will continue to develop innovative rustic designs to cater to the high-end market.

For its financial services, FPIC has non-life insurance products which cater to a variety of customers, individuals and corporations. (viii) Transactions with and/or Dependence on Related Parties The Company has limited transactions and/or dependence on its shareholders and/or related parties in view of existing laws on disclosure and/or requirement for prior approval of appropriate government agencies. (ix) Franchise The Company’s products are not covered by any franchise. (x) Government Approvals for Principal Services The following subsidiary/affiliates of the Company have been granted the necessary government approvals for their operations: On 29 August 1980, BAIBI, a 20%-owned affiliate, was granted a license by the Insurance Commission (IC) to operate as an insurance broker. BAIBI’s broking license has not been renewed as it has not resumed operations. On 9 March 1977, FPIC, a 70%-owned subsidiary, was also granted a license by the IC to operate as a non-life insurance company, which license is renewed annually. (xi) Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations Governmental regulations expected to materially affect the operations or business of POPI and certain of its subsidiaries are as follows: a) On LCI (i) On 11 April 2002, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), pursuant to Republic Act No. (R.A.) 8800

(Safeguard Measures Act), issued a decision imposing a definitive general safeguard duty on imported ceramic floor and wall tiles. The safeguard measure was extended in 2004 and 2007; a final extension of this definitive general safeguard measure for another four years was approved by DTI as per its Order dated 21 January 2008. [Under R.A. 8800 and its Implementing Rules, the effective period of the measure, including its extension, may not in the aggregate exceed 10 years; any further petition for safeguard measure for the same articles shall not be accepted within 2 years from expiration of the same.] For now, LCI and other local ceramic tile manufacturers are protected by the safeguard measure;

(ii) The implementation of the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS) product certification will deter the flooding of the market with cheap substandard tile products. Lepanto tiles received the BPS certification which confirms the quality of LCI’s tile products; and

(iii) Industrial facilities using bunker fuel will have to comply with the guidelines of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in connection with its implementation of RA 8747 or the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999. The DENR is working on the guidelines for said industrial facilities particularly with respect to mass rating, emission trading and emission averaging.

b) On FPIC

On 18 February 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved FPIC’s increase in paid-up capital to P125 million. Pursuant to Department of Finance Order No. 27-06, as amended, FPIC is required to increase its paid-up capital to P175 million by 31 December 2011.

(xii) Research and Development Activities Except for the development of new tile designs by LCI, there are no other research and development activities undertaken by the Company or its other subsidiaries. Budget for research is included in tile production cost. (xiii) Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws Operations of its manufacturing company may be affected in the coming years with the implementation of R.A. 8747 and other environmental laws. Compliance with such environmental laws may entail additional investments and/or upgrades in facilities.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A complaint for sum of money (representing insurance proceeds) with issuance of Temporary

Restraining Order (TRO) and Injunction was filed on 24 January 2001 with the Pasig Regional Trial Court (RTC)-Branch 71, against the Company’s subsidiary, FPIC, by its insured, Lavine Loungewear Mfg. Inc. (Lavine). Prior to the filing of the suit, there was an intra-corporate dispute between two groups of stockholders of Lavine, each group claiming to be the owner of Lavine and therefore entitled to receive the insurance proceeds. Since FPIC could not determine which group of Lavine stockholders to pay, FPIC only made partial payment on the claim.

On 2 April 2001, the RTC rendered a Decision finding FPIC liable to pay Lavine the amount of P18,250,000 with 29% interest per annum from October 1998 until full payment. A Special Order for Execution Pending Appeal was also issued by the Court. As a result, certain assets of FPIC were garnished/attached. FPIC then filed a Petition with prayers for TRO and Injunction with the Court of Appeals (CA)-10th Division, which reliefs were granted. On 29 May 2003, the CA-10th Division, in its Consolidated Decision, ruled as follows: (1) setting aside the RTC Decision dated 2 April 2001; (2) declaring null and void the Special Order dated 17 May 2002 and the Writ of Execution dated 20 May 2002; (3) remanding the case to the lower court for pre-trial conference on the Second Amended Answer-in-Intervention; and (4) payment of proceeds to Lavine (if adjudged entitled to said proceeds) be withheld until a decision on the rightful members of the Board of Directors of Lavine is issued by the intra-corporate court. The Intervenors (a party to the intra-corporate dispute) filed a Motion for Reconsideration (MR) with the CA-10th Division, to which FPIC filed its Opposition dated 15 July 2003 together with a Motion for Immediate Lifting of Garnishment.

On 20 April 2004, the CA resolved to lift the order of levy and notices of garnishment on the real and personal properties and bank deposits of FPIC which were made pursuant to the Special Order dated 17 May 2002 and Writ of Execution dated 20 May 2003 which were declared null and void by the CA.

A Petition for Review (PR) was filed by Intervenors with the Supreme Court (SC) to set aside the CA Decision of 29 May 2003. The SC, in its Decision dated 25 August 2005, affirmed the CA Decision dated 29 May 2003. Said SC Decision became final and executory.

Separately, FPIC filed an appeal with the CA of the RTC Decision dated 1 April 2001. The records of the case have been forwarded to the CA on 28 January 2008. On 12 September 2008, FPIC received a Notice from the CA directing FPIC to file its appellant’s brief within 45 days from receipt of the notice or until 27 October 2008. FPIC filed its Appellant’s Brief with the CA on 6 November 2008. Intervenor-appellees Harish Ramnani, et.al filed an Amended Motion to Dismiss (MTD) Appeal of Defendant Equitable PCI-Bank dated 14 November 2008. Intervenor-Appellees filed its Consolidated Brief dated 8 January 2009 to which FPIC filed its Appellant’s Reply Brief dated 11 February 2009. Meanwhile, on 6 January 2009, Villaraza Cruz Marcelo & Angangco (VCMA) filed its Entry of Appearance as counsel for appellant Banco de Oro Unibank, Inc. (BDO) (formerly Equitable PCI Bank) and filed an Opposition to the Amended MTD filed by Intervenor-appellees.

The CA, in its Resolution dated 8 May 2009, resolved as follows: (i) the MTD filed by Intervenor-

appellees was denied; (ii) entry of appearance of counsel for BDO was noted; (iii) Appellee’s Brief filed by Lavine on 10 February 2009 (which was one day late) was admitted in the interest of justice; (iv) Reply Brief of defendant appellants Rizal Surety and Insurance Co., Tabacalera Insurance Co. and FPIC (which was filed late) were admitted; (v) BDO given an inextendible period of 45 days from notice within which to file appellant’s brief; and (vi) plaintiff-appellee’s Consolidated Brief was admitted without prejudice to filing of an appellee’s brief in response to appellant BDO.

BDO filed its Appellant’s brief to which intervenor-appellees filed their Appellee’s Brief. BDO in turn filed

a Reply Brief.

The CA issued a Decision dated 30 September 2010 which affirmed the RTC Decision dated 2 April 2002 in all respects except that it exempted BDO from paying 10% of the actual damages due and demandable as and by way of attorney’s fees. Briefly, the Decision ruled relative to FPIC that: (a) Intervention (by intervenors) was done and allowed so that the real representatives of party-plaintiff

could sue on behalf of the latter; (b) FPIC is liable for P18,250,000.00 because the insurance proceeds totaled P169,300,000.00 with

interest per lead adjuster’s valuation;

(c) FPIC must pay interest as it did not file an interpleader and consignation suit for this purpose; (d) FPIC liable to pay 29% interest (i.e., twice the interest ceiling of 14.5%) as provided under Section

243 of the Insurance Code of 1978; and (e) FPIC is liable for attorney’s fees as it compelled plaintiff-appellee, through intervenors, to file the

instant suit to collect money due from it. On 5 November 2010, FPIC filed an MR of the CA Decision dated 30 September 2010.

The CA issued a Resolution dated 9 June 2011 which affirmed the 30 September 2010 CA Decision subject to the following modifications: 1. Phil Fire is liable to plaintiff-appellee through intervenors for the sum of P8,628,278.57 with 6%

interest per annum (p.a.) from 26 November 2001 and 12% p.a. from finality of the resolution until full paid;

2. Rizal Surety is liable for P10,616,608.10 with 6% interest p.a. from 26 November 2001 and 12% p.a. from finality of the resolution until fully paid;

3. FPIC is liable for the sum of P10,145,760.11 with 6% interest p.a. from 26 November 2001 and 12% p.a. from finality of resolution until fully paid;

4. Tabacalera Insurance is liable for the sum of P11,189,530.22 with 6% interest p.a. from 26 November 2001 and 12% from finality of resolution until fully paid;

5. Award of 10% attorney’s fees is deleted; 6. BDO’s MR on the issue of overpayment is remanded to the trial court for computation; 7. The loan mortgage annotations on TCT Nos. 2390684, CCT Nos. PT-1787185, PT-1787286 and

PT-1787387 are declared valid and subsisting until the obligations secured thereby shall have been completely discharged based on the trial court’s final computation; and

8. Amounts due to Lavine, through intervenors-crossclaimants-appellees, are subject to priority satisfaction of its remaining obligation to BDO, if any subsists based on trial court’s final computation as directed, and payment of docket fees corresponding to intervenors-crossclaimants-appellees’ money claims as prayed for in their Second Amended Answer–in-Intervention with Counterclaim dated 15 October 2001. Should the trial court’s final computation as required yield an overpayment, the same should be reimbursed to Lavine, through intervenor-crossclaimants-appellees.

Intervenors-Crossclaimants-Appellees filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration (MPR) of the CA Resolution dated 9 June 2011. The CA in its Resolution dated 5 September 2011 denied the MPR for lack of merit. The Motion for Extension of Time to File Petition for Review on Certiorari filed by Phil Fire, and the Appeal by Certiorari filed by plaintiff-appellee Lavine filed before the SC were duly noted.

On 30 June 2011, FPIC filed a Motion for Extension of Time to File PR (under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court) of the CA Decision and CA Resolution with the SC. FPIC filed its PR on Certiorari with the SC on 29 July 2011. The petition is pending with the SC. Intervenors-crossclaimants-appellees have filed a Motion for Extension of Time to File PR dated 14 September 2011 with the SC.

No. 198039 “Chevron Philippines, Inc. (formerly Caltex) vs. FPIC, et.al.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chevron Philippines, Inc. (Chevron) filed three civil cases against FPIC for recovery of sum of money

pursuant to the terms and conditions of the surety bonds issued by FPIC to secure each of the obligations of Peakstar Oil Corporation (Peakstar), Fumitechniks Corp. of the Philippines (Fumitechniks) and R.S. Cipriano Enterprises (Cipriano) to Chevron. In all these cases, FPIC cited as its defense that in the absence of written principal agreements (between Chevron and the three abovenamed obligors), the surety bonds (issued by FPIC), which are mere accessory contracts, could not have come into being or are void. (i) Peakstar Account (Civil Case No. 02-856)- Chevron filed a claim against FPIC for the

recovery of the sum of P26,257,712.58 before Makati RTC-Branch 62. FPIC filed a Motion to Strike Out Testimony and Evidence of Chevron’s witnesses on grounds that they were in violation of the Parol Evidence Rule, irrelevant and immaterial and unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds. The RTC granted FPIC’s Motion and the said testimonies and evidence were stricken off the records.

Chevron filed an MR of the Order striking out the testimonies of the plaintiffs’ witnesses which was denied by the court. Chevron then filed a PR with the CA which was dismissed by the CA as per Decision dated 28 September 2007 which has become final and executory. In the RTC, FPIC finished its presentation of evidence and Formal Offer of Evidence (FOE). The parties were asked to file their respective Memoranda. On 26 September 2008, FPIC filed its Memorandum dated 20 September 2008. Chevron filed its Memorandum dated 18 September 2008 (received by FPIC on 2 October 2008). FPIC filed its Reply (to Plaintiff’s Memorandum) dated 6 October 2008. RTC issued a Decision dated 28 December 2009 in favor of Chevron which ordered FPIC to pay Chevron P26,257,712.58 plus interest starting 6 February 2009 until fully paid plus attorney’s fees and costs of suit. FPIC filed its Notice of Appeal on 5 February 2010. FPIC filed its Appellant’s Brief with the CA on 22 November 2011. The CA issued a Resolution dated 31 March 2011 which referred the parties to the Philippine Mediation Center-CA for mediation to give the parties one final chance to explore the possibility of amicable settling their dispute. Mediation proceeding was held on 29 July 2011. Mediation proceedings were terminated as the parties deemed it unlikely for the parties to reach a settlement in view of the legal issues involved. Case was referred back to CA for decision. FPIC filed a Manifestation and Submission dated 10 October 2011 with the CA informing the CA of the pendency of a similar case involving Chevron and FPIC (CA Case No. 92226) and that the MPR filed by Chevron in said case was already denied by the CA and Chevron has already filed a PR with the SC.

(ii) Fumitechniks Account (Civil Case No. 02-857)- Chevron filed a claim against FPIC in the amount of P15,314,265.76 with Makati RTC-Branch 59. As in the Peakstar case, FPIC filed a Motion to Strike Out Testimony and Evidence of the Chevron’s witnesses on grounds that they were in violation of the Parol Evidence Rule, irrelevant and immaterial and unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds. The case was submitted for decision upon filing by the parties of their respective memoranda.

On 5 August 2005, the RTC issued a Decision dismissing Chevron’s complaint as well as the counterclaims of FPIC. Chevron then filed an appeal with the CA. FPIC also interposed an appeal with the CA on the dismissal of its counterclaims. Upon filing of FPIC’s Appellant’s Brief and Appellee’s Brief and Reply (to plaintiff’s appellant’s brief), the case was deemed submitted for resolution. The CA issued a Decision dated 20 November 2006 which reversed the RTC Decision. FPIC filed an MR of the CA Decision, which was subsequently denied by the CA. On 26 June 2007, FPIC filed a PR with the SC (docketed as G.R. No. 177839). The Parties have submitted their respective Memoranda in 2008. Case deemed submitted for decision.

(iii) Cipriano Account (Civil Case No. 02-858)- A case against FPIC for recovery of sum of money

in the amount of P10 million was filed by Chevron with Makati RTC-Branch 61. Again, FPIC filed its Motion to Strike Out Evidence on the grounds that they were in violation of the Parol Evidence Rule, irrelevant and immaterial and unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds, which was denied by the court. FPIC then filed an MR of the Order denying FPIC’s Motion to Strike Out Evidence which has been submitted for resolution. After FPIC’s presentation of evidence, the case was submitted for decision.

On 8 August 2008, the RTC issued a Decision in favor of Chevron. FPIC filed a Notice of

Appeal to the CA. FPIC filed its Defendant-Appellant’s Brief with the CA on 10 July 2009. Chevron has filed its Appellee’s Brief, to which FPIC filed a Reply Brief.

On 4 May 2011, the CA issued its Decision which reversed the RTC Decision dated 8 August 2008 and dismissed the complaint a quo for lack of merit. Chevron filed an MPR dated 26 May 2011 for the reversal of the 4 May 2011 Decision. The CA, in its Resolution dated 3 August 2011, denied the Chevron’s MPR. Chevron filed PR with the SC.

c. The following tax cases filed by POPI’s subsidiaries were terminated within the FY ended 30 June 2011:

(i) “TPI vs. CIR” (Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) Case No. 6570);

“CIR vs. TPI” (CTA EB Nos. 389, 391 and 418/ G.R. Nos. 188342 and 188354-55) Status: Case deemed closed and terminated -----------------------------------------------------------

This is a Petition for the cancellation and withdrawal of the alleged Deficiency Income Tax (DIT), expanded withholding tax and VAT for FY 1998 in the amount of P485,522,807.70 claimed against TPI. TPI’s witnesses testified that PNR has duly recorded and reported to the BIR the income payments in the form of rentals made by TPI from July 1997-June 1998; hence TPI could not be held liable for the alleged DIT. TPI filed its FOE on 10 October 2005 which was approved by the Court on 6 January 2006. The hearing date for presentation of BIR’s evidence was set on 29 March 2006. BIR filed a motion to reset said hearing to May. As the BIR failed to appear on said date, TPI moved that BIR be declared to have waived its right to present evidence. The Court granted TPI’s Motion and directed submission by the Parties of their respective Memoranda. TPI filed its Memorandum on 4 July 2006. BIR did not file its Memorandum. BIR filed an MR of the said Order, to which TPI filed its Opposition. On 8 September 2006, the Court granted BIR’s MR. Presentation of BIR’s evidence was set on 27 September 2006. BIR failed to appear on said hearing and TPI moved that BIR be deemed to have waived its right to present evidence which was granted by the CTA. BIR was ordered to submit its Memorandum on or before 2 November 2006; however, the BIR was able to file its Memorandum only on 4 December 2006. On 20 December 2007, the CTA (2nd Division) issued a Decision affirming the tax assessment against TPI in the reduced amount of P133,594,612.30. Both Parties filed an MR. Pending resolution of said motions, TPI availed of the tax amnesty and consequently filed a Motion for Partial Withdrawal of Petition. On 21 April 2008, the CTA issued a Partial Amended Decision which resolved two pending incidents: (i) it denied the MR but further reduced the amount of TPI’s tax liability of P133,460,700.64; and (ii) denied the Motion for Partial Withdrawal of Petition pursuant to its tax amnesty availment. On 13 May 2008, TPI filed an MR Ad Cautelam (re: denial of its Motion for Partial Withdrawal of Petition). The BIR filed a PR with the CTA en Banc (docketed as CTA EB No. 389). TPI also filed a PR with the CTA En Banc (docketed as CTA EB No. 391). TPI filed a Motion for Consolidation of Cases dated 27 August 2008. The CTA En Banc granted consolidation of the two cases and ordered the parties to file their respective Memoranda on 31 August 2008. The CTA (2nd Division) issued a Resolution dated 1 August 2008 which stated that considering that the 2nd Division has no more authority to act on TPI’s MR, TPI was directed to file anew its application for amnesty and to attach thereto certified copies with the CTA En Banc. On 12 August 2008, TPI filed an Urgent Motion for Clarification with the CTA 2nd Division. The CTA (2nd Division) issued a Resolution dated 26 August 2008 which directed TPI to file the Motion for Partial Withdrawal of Petition with the CTA En Banc for appropriate action. Meanwhile, on 22 August 2008, TPI filed a PR with the CTA En Banc to prevent the 1 August 2008 Resolution from becoming final (docketed as CTA EB Case No. 418) and prayed that TPI’s Motion for Partial Withdrawal of Petition be granted except for TPI’s supposed deficiency expanded withholding tax (EWT) liability. On 28 August 2008, TPI filed a Motion for Deferment of Submission of Memorandum in the consolidated cases until the issues in CTA EB No. 418 are resolved. A Motion for Consolidation of CTA Case No. 418 with CTA EB Nos. 389 and 391 was filed on even date which was granted by the CTA En Banc. On 28 January 2009, the CTA En Banc issued a Resolution finding that TPI complied with all the requirements of the Tax Amnesty Law. Accordingly, the CTA En Banc ordered the withdrawal of the Petition with respect to the deficiency tax assessments for income tax and VAT; only the issue on TPI’s alleged EWT liability was left for resolution by the CTA En Banc.

On 21 April 2009, the CTA En Banc issued a Decision canceling the subject tax assessments except for TPI’s alleged tax liability for EWT in the amount of P434,743.52 plus 20% delinquency interest per annum, computed from 13 December 2002 until full payment. The BIR filed an MR but only with respect to the issue of TPI’s availment of tax amnesty. The CTA En Banc denied this motion and ruled that the validity of TPI’s tax availment can no longer be questioned considering that the Court’s 28 January 2009 resolution is already final. The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) filed a PR on Certiorari dated 28 July 2009 with the SC (docketed as GR No. 188342). TPI filed a MTD on the ground that the same failed to comply with the Rules of Court on Verification and Certification against Forum Shopping. TPI received BIR’s Comment (filed by the OSG) on the MTD on 5 February 2010 and awaiting notice from SC. On 5 May 2010, TPI received a Motion to Admit filed by the OSG asking the SC to admit their Reply which was filed out of time. The SC, in a Notice dated 5 July 2010, granted the Motion to Admit Reply and directed the CTA to elevate the complete records of the case. The SC in its Resolution dated 20 October 2010 denied the petition for failure to sufficiently show any reversible error in the assailed judgment as to warrant the exercise of the SC’s discretionary appellate jurisdiction.

(ii) “TPI vs. CIR” (CTA Case No. 7536) – Status: Case deemed closed and terminated ------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Petition for cancellation and withdrawal of alleged DIT in the amount of P68,706,056.94 (for FY ended 30 June 2002) assessed against TPI. TPI filed the Petition on 30 October 2006. The BIR filed a Motion for Extension of Time to file its Answer until 8 December 2006, which motion was granted by the CTA. BIR failed to file its Answer on the set deadline, hence, TPI filed a Motion to Declare BIR in Default. On 23 January 2007, the BIR filed a Motion to Admit Answer. After the hearing held on 2 February 2007, the CTA resolved to admit BIR’s Answer. On 6 March 2008, TPI availed of the tax amnesty and moved for the partial withdrawal of its Petition on 13 March 2008. On 10 June 2008, the CTA in Division issued a Resolution allowing the withdrawal of the Petition with respect to the income tax and VAT assessments. Accordingly, only the issue on TPI’s alleged withholding tax liabilities was left for the Court’s resolution. TPI completed its presentation of evidence and made its FOE on 19 June 2008. On 17 February 2009, TPI filed a Supplemental FOE which was admitted by the CTA. Hearing for CIR’s presentation of evidence was set on 23 April 2009 but was re-set on 21 May 2009. The BIR presented its evidence during the hearing held on 9 June 2009 and 7 July 2009. BIR made its FOE on 12 August 2009. The CTA then directed both parties to file their respective Memoranda on or before 14 October 2009 after which the case shall be deemed submitted for decision. TPI filed its Memorandum on 13 October 2009 while the BIR filed a Motion to Admit Attached Memorandum on 27 November 2009 which was granted by the CTA. The CTA, in its Decision dated 13 December 2010, cancelled the CIR’s assessments for deficiency withholding tax on compensation and expanded withholding tax for the FY ending 30 June 2002, including increments, for lack of factual and legal bases.

d. Civil Case No. 08-679 “Quali Furn Marketing Corp. vs. FPIC” [Makati RTC Br. 59] -------------------------------------------------

A Complaint for specific performance and damages was filed with Makati RTC Branch 148 by insured against FPIC for payment of P20,000,000 for and as actual damages (with 24% interest thereon from 30 July 2007 until fully paid) as its claim under Fire Insurance Policy No. F-29577 issued by FPIC. FPIC denied the claim as the existence and value of the insured items have not been established by plaintiff.

FPIC filed its Answer dated 16 October 2008. FPIC filed a Motion to Conduct Judicial Dispute Resolution dated 20 July 2009. The RTC granted the said Motion and set the Judicial Dispute Resolution on 16 September 2009. As no settlement was reached, the JDR was terminated and the case was re-raffled to Makati RTC Branch 59. Pre-trial was held on 12 March 2010. Presentation of plaintiff’s witnesses on-going.

e. Civil Case No. 3911-06-C “Fritta, S.L. vs. LCI” ------------------------------------

A case for collection of sum of money was filed by a supplier, Fritta, against LCI before Calamba RTC-Br. 92. Plaintiff Fritta is demanding payment in the principal amount of L332,452.73 (about P22,433,920.44), attorney’s fees of P500,000 plus costs of suit. On 5 April 2006, LCI filed an MTD on the grounds of lack of capacity to sue as Fritta is a foreign corporation and Fritta’s defective certification against forum shopping. On 8 June 2006, the RTC issued an Order denying LCI’s MTD. On 11 July 2006, LCI filed an MR of said Order, to which Fritta filed its Opposition. On 11 August 2008, LCI filed its Reply. The RTC issued an Order dated 17 October 2007 denying LCI’s MR. LCI then filed its Answer Ad Cautelam dated 17 November 2006 to which Fritta filed its Reply dated 12 December 2006. On 22 December 2006, LCI filed a Petition for Certiorari (PC) and Prohibition with prayer for the issuance of a TRO and/or Injunction (CA-G.R. SP No. 97331) with the CA, assailing the 8 June 2006 and 17 October 2007 Orders of the RTC. On 17 May 2007, the CA issued a Decision dismissing the PC and thereafter denied LCI’s MR. On 26 October 2007, LCI filed a PR with the SC (G.R. No. 179596). On 17 November 2008, the SC dismissed the PR. On 3 February 2009, LCI filed an MR to which Fritta filed its Comment/Opposition. The MR has been denied by the SC. Meanwhile, pre-trial was held on 29 May 2007. Fritta filed a Motion to Take Deposition (of its 3 witnesses in Spain) (MTTD) dated 11 June 2007 to which LCI filed its Opposition dated 27 June 2007. The RTC, in its Order dated 17 July 2007, granted Fritta’s MTTD. LCI filed an MR on the RTC Order dated 17 July 2007, which was denied by the RTC in its Order dated 2 October 2007. On 18 December 2007, LCI filed a PC (CA-G.R. SP No. 101754) with the CA, assailing the 17 July and 2 October 2007 Orders of the RTC. Upon order of the CA, both parties filed their respective Memoranda on 21 June 2008 (LCI) and 29 June 2008 (Fritta). On 7 February 2011, the CA issued a Decision dismissing the PC. On 21 February 2011, LCI filed an MR. On 29 April 2011, Fritta filed its Opposition to the MR. On 29 May 2011, LCI filed a Reply to the Opposition. The MR is now submitted for resolution. On 16 August 2007, in response to Fritta’s MTTD dated 11 June 2007, LCI filed a First Request for Admission (FRA) that Fritta’s witnesses in Spain could only read and write in Spanish and not in English. On 23 November 2007, Fritta belatedly filed a Motion to Admit Reply to Request for Admission (MARRA), attached to which were the answers of Fritta’s witnesses to the FRA. On 16 January 2008, the RTC issued an Order granting Fritta’s MARRA. LCI filed an MR. On 5 March 2008, the RTC denied LCI’s MR. On 9 May 2008, LCI filed a PC (CA G.R. SP No. 103576) with the CA, assailing the 16 January and 5 March 2008 Orders of the RTC. On 6 August 2008, Fritta filed its Comment to the PC. On 4 September 2008, LCI filed its Reply. On 27 August 2009, the CA rendered a Decision dismissing the PC. On 17 September 2009, LCI filed an MR. On 19 April 201, the CA issued a Resolution denying the MR. Consequently, on 7 June 2010, LCI filed a PR with the SC (G.R. No. 191991). On 6 September 2010, Fritta filed a Motion for Extension of Time to File Comment.

f. LCI’s Real Property Tax Assessment/Warrant of Levy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In August 2006, LCI received from the Office of the City Treasurer of Calamba (OCTC) a Notice of Delinquency on Real Property Tax (RPT) (due on buildings and machineries located in Barangays Tulo and Makiling), in the amount of P84,344,676.25 (including penalties), covering the period from the 4th quarter of 1999 up to 2006. On 12 December 2006, LCI sent a letter dated 17 November 2006 to the Office of the City Assessor reiterating its request (made in April 2005) for a review and reappraisal of LCI’s machineries and equipment as a major portion thereof were already fully depreciated and have not been operational for several years. There was, however, no response to LCI’s letter. On 31 July 2007, as the RPT remained unpaid, LCI received copies of the OCTC’s Final Notices of Delinquency (FNDs), directing LCI to settle its RPT delinquency, in the total amount of P98,466,645.72, covering the period from the 4th quarter of 1999 to 2007.

On 15 August 2007, LCI submitted its letter-response to the FNDs, requesting for a reduction on LCI’s tax payables on the grounds that: 1) LCI has provided significant contributions to Calamba’s economy and employment level; 2) some of the machineries and equipment subject of the FNDs were almost fully depreciated; and 3) the Calamba CityGgovernment’s right to collect RPT due from 1999 to 2001 has already prescribed. On 14 September 2007, LCI submitted a letter of even date to the OCTC following up on its request for review and reappraisal of its machineries and equipment, stressing that the value of such properties have already substantially depreciated. On 10 October 2007, the OCTC sent a letter dated 5 October 2007 to LCI advising it that its request for re-appraisal of the said buildings and machineries would have no effect on its outstanding RPT payables subject of the FNDs, as any such re-appraisal cannot be given retroactive effect. Further, the OCTC demanded that LCI settle its RPT delinquency within 5 days from receipt of the letter. On 19 October 2007, LCI sent a letter to the OCTC requesting that the penalties and surcharges and the RPT due from 1999 to 2001 (which have already prescribed) be deducted from its tax payables, and proposed that the remaining P44,842,850.40 be paid over a period of 5 years. Sometime in August 2008, LCI received a Schedule of Compromise Agreement from the OCTC whereby LCI would pay the total amount of P121,672,975.31, covering LCI’s supposed tax delinquency from the 4th quarter of 1999 up to 2008, in 8 installments. (However, the installment dates were not specified.) On 2 September 2008, LCI sent a letter dated 28 August 2008 to the OCTC requesting for a waiver of the penalties and surcharges (amounting P46,376,922.81) and proposing that the principal RPT due in the amount of P75,296,052.50 be paid by way of dacion of various real properties located in Calamba, Laguna. There was, however, no response to this letter. On 16 October 2008, LCI received a Warrant of Levy dated 11 August 2008 issued by the OCTC on LCI’s buildings and machineries, directing LCI to settle its RPT delinquency, amounting to P121,672,975.31, within 10 days from notice; otherwise, its buildings and machineries would be sold at a public auction. On 23 October 2008, LCI sent a letter dated 22 October 2008 to the OCTC requesting for an additional period of 30 days from 26 October 2008 or until November 25 2008, within which to submit a reasonable settlement proposal on its outstanding RPT delinquency, and for the implementation of the Warrant of Levy to be held in abeyance. The OCTC granted LCI’s request. On 25 November 2008, after discussions with the City Government of Calamba (CGC) and the OCTC regarding the settlement of the tax delinquency, LCI submitted a letter to the OCTC, together with an initial check payment of P2 million, reiterating the request for the implementation of the Warrant of Levy to be held in abeyance pending discussions on a definitive payment arrangement in February, March, April 2009. LCI paid another P1 million to the OCTC. On 29 April 2009, LCI received a Notice of Real Property Tax Delinquency (NRPTD) from the OCTC regarding LCI’s real property tax arrears in the amount of P131,591,748.09. On 20 July 2009, LCI submitted a letter to the OCTC offering to dacion several real properties in Calamba as payment for the arrears, and requesting the deferment of the auction sale of the LCI properties subject of the NRPTD set on 8 September 2009. OCTC agreed to exclude LCI properties in the auction. On 26 October 2009, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Calamba (SP-Calamba) passed Resolution No. 286, Series of 2009 granting relief from payment of interests and penalties on RPT arrearages from 2008 and prior years on the condition that the delinquencies are settled from 2 November 2009 to 31 March 2010. On 29 March 2010, the SP-Calamba passed Resolution No. 101, Series of 2010 authorizing Calamba Mayor Joaquin Chipeco, Jr. to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with LCI and OPDI whereby OPDI will convey its properties in Brgy. Kay-Anlog, Calamba to the CGC as settlement or in exchange for the RPT obligations of LCI amounting to P75,078,200. On 30 March 2010, the MOA was signed and executed. Transfer of titles over the Kay-Anlog properties in the name of CGC is ongoing.

Dividends There were no dividend declarations for the years 2009 to 2011. D. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities The Company has not sold any unregistered securities within the past three fiscal years. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation Fiscal Year 2011 Consolidated Results of Operations The Group ended the fiscal year with a net income of P273.1 million which was significantly lower than the P1.95 billion income reported last year. Net income from last year included a one-time gain of P1.54 billion arising from the settlement of loans of the Group. A significant portion of last year’s profit also included gain on sale of asset done to generate cash flow for the repayment of Group loans. Revenue from mall operations slightly grew to P505 million from P498 million, while the Insurance business provided the most significant result with revenues increasing by 25% to P184 million. The motor car business continues to spearhead growth increasing by 47% during the period. However, consolidated revenues decreased by 6.5% to P1.33 billion as Net Sales from tile business went down to P640 million due to lower sales volume as sales and marketing efforts focused on value-added products and designs which provide better prices and margins. For the fiscal year ended, consolidated cost and expenses decreased by 9% as operating expenses went down by 12% though tempered by the 11% increase in insurance underwriting cost. The decrease in operating expenses was attributable to lower professional fees incurred for the fiscal year. Though insurance underwriting cost increased, this was mainly due to higher commission expense arising from the 25% growth in revenue. Underwriting cost as percentage of Net Premiums Earned (NPE) significantly improved, as it went down to 79% from 88% last fiscal year. TPI Overall, TPI showed a 21% growth as its net income registered at P54 million for the fiscal year ended, compared to P45 million net income last year. Income from mall operations grew by 23% as growth in rental revenue from night market operations and semi-permanent carts tempered lower income generated from parking and exhibits. Overhead cost decreased by 12% due to lower professional fees paid during the period. FPIC For the fiscal year ended, FPIC showed a significant turn-around as it posted a net income of P21.7 million as against the P8.8 million net loss last year. The substantial development was attributable to the considerable growth in NPE (24%), increase in Commission Income (34%) and improvement in Investment Income (17%), coupled by reduced underwriting cost ratio from 88% to 79%. Retention ratio has also improved by 15%, from P149 million last year to P167 million this year, as Net Premiums Retained (NPR) from motor car business grew by 21% or P16.5 million higher than last year. LCI LCI ended the fiscal year with a net loss of P51 million as compared to P50 million last year, which was 2% higher than last year, excluding gain on settlement of debt. Net sales dropped by 7% as sales volume declined, cushioned by the increase in sales price.

Prospects for the future TPI expects the full turnover of the remaining 12 hectares from PNR by 31 December 2011 as well as the completion of PNR’s Master Development Plan for its own areas covered under the Renewal of Contract of Lease. From there, TPI will proceed with the redevelopment of Phase II-A based on the TPI masterplan developed with the Palafox Architects. For Phase II-A, envisioned developments stretching from Mayhaligue to Tayuman will include an auto-city/bike depot, a restaurants’ row/strip mall, review centers/ educational institutions, and a commercial pocket center. Initial plans for all these have been drafted and detailed planning will proceed once turnover is complete. With the finalization of PNR’s masterplan for its own land-use on areas covered under Phase II-B, TPI is considering warehouses, storage centers and deck parking as utilization of its air rights in said area. Looking ahead, FPIC has opened a new branch in Imus, Cavite, to beef up its presence and to service the CALABARZON area. To sustain the growth of its motor car line, FPIC forged new tie-ups with various major car dealers and with other motor car service providers. It has increased the number of accredited repair shops nationwide to better serve its clients. It has also embarked on cross-selling of other product lines particularly, its residential insurance package using its present data base. Accident & Health lines were also re-packaged and new products were developed to suit its present clients. With these new programs, FPIC expects sustainable growth this 2012 of its NPR that will translate to a higher Net Income for the company. Moving forward, while the focus will remain on pushing the higher margin rustic products, LCI and its exclusive marketing partner, OMI, will have to run a tighter production and sales operations. The focus will now be on more efficient production runs (reduced wastages, better formulation, managed overheads) and growing the business with key retail partners. Key Performance Indicators

As of 30 June 2011, the Group has P1.47 worth of current asset for every peso of current liabilities as compared to P1.32 as of 30 June 2010. The increase was attributable to the settlement of outstanding obligation. The Group has sufficient current assets to support its current liabilities as of the period. Debt to Equity ratio indicates the extent of the Group’s debt which is covered by shareholders’ fund. It reflects the relative position of the equity holders. The higher the ratio, the greater the risk being assumed by the creditors. A lower ratio generally indicates greater long term financial safety. Compared to 30 June 2010, debt-to-equity ratio improved as a result of increase in equity for the current period by 10%.

Financial Condition Total Assets of the Group slightly increased to P4.43 billion from P4.37 billion last year. Total current assets and total current liabilities stood at P2.3 billion and P1.6 billion, respectively. Proceeds from disposal of Available for Sale (AFS) Investments and net result of operations of TPI resulted to increased Cash and Cash Equivalents. As a result of the sale, AFS investments dropped by 34%. Advance rental of TPI to PNR increased the Receivables by 7%. Inventories increased by 24% due to higher inventory volume. Decrease in Leasehold Rights represents amortization recognized during the period. Decrease in Investment Property was due to disposal of real estate property and depreciation as of the period. Property, Plant and Equipment slightly increased due to additional acquisition softened by recognition of depreciation for the period. Decrease in Held to Maturity (HTM) Investments was due to withdrawal of matured investments. Other Non-current Assets decreased due to application of deposits as payment to current charges within the fiscal year. Overall, the Group registered a decrease in Total Liabilities of 3% from 30 June 2010. Total Current Liabilities decreased by 5% as the Group fully settled the remaining balance of the cost of property acquired, hence accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by 6%, softened by the increase in rental deposit and

18

advances by 2%. Decrease in Unrealized Valuation Gain was attributable to disposal of AFS investments as of the period. Financing Through Loans As of the reporting period, the Group has no outstanding loan from any financial institution. Fiscal Year 2010 Consolidated Results of Operations The Group ended the fiscal year with a consolidated net income of P1.95 billion compared to last year’s net loss of P289.9 million. The EBITDA of the Group, excluding gain from extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of assets and reversal of probable losses, has considerably improved by 440% for the year, compared to the 29% growth last year. Consolidated revenues, which are composed of merchandise sales, rental revenue, insurance premiums and commissions and real estate sales, posted a growth of 9.90% this fiscal year. Increase was greatly attributable to real estate sales, as the Group sold its property assets to fund settlement of its loans and other obligations. Insurance premiums also increased by 45% as the Group intensified its motor car business. While average rate escalation contributed to 6% increase in rental revenue. Merchandise sales was posted at P703.6 million, which is 3% less from preceding year’s sales of P721.8 million. Operating expenses went down by 10% as the Group continued to improve its business processes and rationalize its organizational structure. Cost of goods sold and services dropped by 10% as a result of improved production cycle times, lower wastages and lower cost of energy. However, the significant increase in insurance underwriting deductions, which is 96% higher than last year due to increase in claims and losses arising from property damages brought by typhoons “Ondoy” and “Peping” in 2009 that almost doubled the insurance losses this fiscal year, neutralized the reduction in operating expenses and cost of goods sold and services. Overall, consolidated costs and expenses remained at P1.5 billion at the end of 30 June 2010. The Group also reported an income from extinguishment of debt of P1.25 billion, arising from the full settlement of the Group’s remaining loans, and gain from sale of a portion of its property in Mandaue, Cebu amounting to P420.1 million. Financial Condition For the fiscal year 2010, the consolidated resources of the Group remained at P4.3 billion. Total current assets of P2.2 billion, was slightly higher by 2% than last year due to appreciation of the market value of AFS investments coupled by significant increase in insurance receivables, and substantial decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Reduction in cash and cash equivalents by 71% was brought about by the settlement of the Group’s remaining loan obligations. Decrease in inventories of 7% was attributable to reduced production cost. Decrease in held-to-maturity investments was a result of reclassification of funds to cash equivalents and AFS. Net decrease in investment property, leasehold rights and property, plant and equipment was attributable to disposal of an investment property and, amortization and depreciation for the period. Increase in other non-current assets was due to deferred reinsurance premium and capitalization of development cost of pocket commercial center in Calamba, Laguna. Total current liabilities stood at P1.7 billion, which is 56% lower than last year. The substantial movement was attributable to the full settlement of the outstanding loan obligations of the Group during the year. The full extinguishment of the loan obligations resulted to the reversal of the related accrued interest, penalties and provision for probable losses, hence accounts payable and accrued expenses dropped by 28%. Accrual of retirement benefits for the period resulted to increase in retirement obligation. Repayment of advances resulted to reduction in amounts owed to related parties. By and large, the Group’s total liabilities went down by 46% from 30 June 2009. On the other hand, improvement in market prices of securities held by the Group resulted to increase in unrealized valuation gain. Financing through Loans On 10 August 2009, the Group entered into a Compromise Agreement with Asset Pool A (SPV-AMC), Inc. (APA) to settle the remaining loans of the Group which were acquired by APA from the Group’s creditors. The Group and APA agreed for the full and complete settlement of the Group’s loan obligations with principal amount of about

P1.5 billion for a total consideration of P680 million (the “Compromise Amount”) which shall be payable within a period of 18 months. Upon execution of the Agreement, the Group paid the amount of P200 million. Also on 10 August 2009 and 18 December 2009, the Group sold portions of its investment property located in Mandaue, Cebu to partly fund the settlement of the Compromise Amount. The corresponding cash proceeds and installment receivables arising from the sales totaling P430 million were assigned to APA as partial settlement of the Compromise Amount. On 15 March 2010, the balance of the Compromise Amount in the amount of P49.5 million was fully paid by Group. Accordingly, the Group’s outstanding loan obligations of P1.5 billion as of 30 June 2009 was fully paid by 15 March 2010. LCI For the year, LCI was able to reduce its operating loss by 75%, from P161 million in 2009 to P41 million in 2010, as it continued to improve its operational performance and strengthen its production efficiency while lowering wastages. LCI’s continuing path to recovery remains hinged on improvements in its production efficiency. It envisaged to fully utilize its existing jumbo kilns, hence increasing its monthly output by 25%. Moving a step further, LCI implemented its Energy Conservation Project during the year to address the volatility and surging prices of fuel. This project, which uses alternative fuels, intends to reduce fuel consumption in power production and will be operational by November 2010. Once operational, the project will help bring LCI forward to a better energy source and will reduce fuel cost by 24%. Overall, it is expected to lower total production cost by 9%. OMI OMI’s efforts to pave the way for enabling growth in its revenues and market reach were hinged on stronger retail sales operations, expanded market coverage across current sales territories, and improved client servicing. These endeavors cleared the path for OMI to achieve a more significant presence in the industry, as it drumbeats for Lepanto Tiles, its banner brand and product. Retail sales rose exponentially this fiscal year, as a result of new strategies implemented by the retail sales team. OMI matched its major retail partners’ aggressive expansion this year, and it did so by shifting its product mix focus to define Lepanto’s expertise and reputation as the leading rustic ceramic tile manufacturer in the country. With this thrust, OMI solidified Lepanto as a brand of choice with the most expansive selection of rustic tiles in the local market. OMI has undertaken retail measures such as the employment of an efficient network of merchandisers to ensure that all retail outlets were properly branded, stocked with ample fast-moving items, and equipped with merchandising support. With this sustained dedication of the retail sales team, their ability to be one step ahead of their customers, and knowledge of what the market needs, it is expected that retail sales will grab a bigger share of the total sales volume in the near future. OMI also widened Lepanto’s reach in 2010 with the signing up of new distributors in Isabela, Bicol, Iloilo, Davao, and General Santos thus furthering Lepanto’s visibility. Marketing supports were provided to distributors while presence through sub-dealer networks and project bids were increased. All these expansion activities are part of OMI’s roadmap for its distributor business channel, which aims to pull all stops for Lepanto to remain competitive and leverage on its strengths over competitors. Moving forward, OMI is tapping a handful of key distributors with potential for business growth with customized business programs designed specifically for those particular distributors’ network needs. TPI Amid the growing competition within the Divisoria area, TPI occupancy remained stable. As a result, revenue growth from mall operations went up by 6% from P487.9 million in 2009 to P516 million in 2010. Rental revenues from pre-designated areas as well as those from night market operations and other ancillary sources all contributed to this performance. Meanwhile, sustained efforts in cost management paid off as TPI’s operating expenses stood at 5% lower than the previous year. As a result, the company’s net income (before depreciation on revaluation increments) increased to P55 million from P13 million in 2009.

TPI’s renewal of its lease contract with the PNR for another 25 years beginning 2014 underpinned the most important development for the year. The lease renewal agreement which covers a total of 20 hectares of PNR property will allow Tutuban to make full-use of the current 8.5 hectares where Tutuban Mall is situated as well as an additional 11.5 hectares of combined land and air rights use. As nearby areas continue to transform the landscape of Divisoria with new structures of commercial viability, TPI has re-energized itself after successfully inking its renewal contract with the PNR. As early as now, TPI has started crafting its redevelopment and expansion plans that will ensure leadership for Tutuban Mall and has already commissioned as partners in these redevelopment programs the likes of CB Richard Ellis, INSPIRE Consultants and Palafox Architects. Expectations abound for the unveiling of a new masterplan before the end of 1st quarter of 2011. As the saying goes, “Full steam ahead!” Expect vitality with the changes that will unravel as TPI journeys in the next 25 years and anticipate the grandeur of Tutuban Mall relived, revealed and revitalized for the years to come! FPIC The first half of the fiscal year ending 2010 shows the non-life insurance industry experiencing one of the largest combined claims in its history. With Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng hitting Metro Manila and Northern Luzon respectively in a span of two weeks, total estimated losses for the whole industry runs around P18 billion. FPIC was not spared from this calamity. As a result, FPIC posted a net loss of P11.2 million. With the continued success of its marketing program, FPIC’s Gross Premiums Written (GPW) increased by 69% from P155.6 million in 2009 to P262.8 million in 2010, whilst NPR also increased by 61% from P109.9 million in 2009 to P177.4 million in 2010. This was attributed to the highly retained line of business such as motor car, personal accident and residential accounts. Looking ahead, FPIC’s major thrust is to sustain the growth it has achieved in the last two years as it focuses on the development of new products, competitive pricing, targeting new markets as well as new producers, and a fast & efficient claims handling. Quality Service and Client Satisfaction will remain its priority. Prospects for the Future The Group will enter 2011 with the momentum from our landmark achievements in 2010. Moving forward, the Group will also have, on top of the full utilization of Tutuban’s current 8.5-hectare location, additional 11.5 hectares of combined land use and air rights of PNR property. As nearby areas continue to transform the landscape of Divisoria with new structures of commercial viability, Tutuban Mall has re-energized itself after successfully inking its renewal contract with the PNR. As early as now, TPI has started crafting its redevelopment and expansion plans that will ensure leadership for Tutuban Mall. Looking ahead, FPIC’s major thrust is to sustain the growth it has achieved for the last two years as it focuses on the development of new products, competitive pricing, targeting new markets as well as new producers, and a fast & efficient claims handling. Quality Service and Client Satisfaction will remain its priority. Moving a step further, LCI implemented its Energy Conservation Project during the year to address the volatility and surging prices of fuel. This project, which uses alternative fuels, intends to reduce fuel consumption in powder production and will be operational by November 2010. On the other hand, OMI is tapping a handful of key distributors with potential for business growth with customized business programs designed specifically for those particular distributors’ network needs.

As of 30 June 2010, the Group has sufficient current assets to support its current liabilities as evidenced by increase in current assets, from P0.57 centavos in 2009 to P1.32 for the period, vis-à-vis its current liabilities. Significant increase in receivables and higher market value of available for sale investments contributed to a better current ratio for this period. Debt to Equity ratio indicates the extent of the Group’s debt which is covered by shareholders’ fund. It reflects the relative position of the equity holders. For fiscal year 2010, the Group’s debt to equity ratio has improved, from negative P14.48 last year to positive P1.35 this year. Improvement was attributable to recognition of gain on extinguishment of debt as well as gain on sale of a portion of the investment property. Capital Adequacy Ratio is computed by dividing the Total Stockholders’ Equity over Total Assets. It measures the financial strength of the Group. As of 30 June 2010, the Group’s Capital Adequacy Ratio showed a 6.74% improvement, from negative 0.073 of the previous year to positive 0.419 this year. Similarly, recognition of gain on extinguishment of debt and gain on sale of portion of the investment property contributed to a higher equity this year. Book value per share measures the recoverable amount in the event of liquidation if assets are realized at book value. As of 30 June 2010, the Group posted a book value per share of positive P0.77 compared to negative P0.13 in the previous year. Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding. As of 30 June 2010, the Group showed an income of P0.824 per share compared to loss of P0.122 per share in 2009.

Fiscal Year 2009 Consolidated Results of Operations In FY 2009, the Group posted a consolidated net loss of P289.9 million as compared to last year’s net income of P19.6 million. However, by isolating the effect of consolidated gain on extinguishment of debt and the reversal of payable last year, the EBITDA of the Group reflected an improvement of 29% to P54 million this fiscal year. Consolidated revenues consist of merchandise sales, rental revenue, insurance premiums and commission and real estate sales. Although Consolidated Revenues remained flat at P1.3 billion, rental revenue improved by 5% as a result of rental rate escalation. Merchandise sales registered at P721.8 million, showing a reduction of 2% from the preceding year’s P736.8 million. Insurance premiums and commissions slightly increased by 1% from P100.8 million to P101.7 million. The Group’s effort resulted in the reduction of consolidated costs and expenses by 4% from P1.58 billion to P1.52 billion. The decrease was complemented by lower production cost led by the continuous drive to improve production cycle times, lower wastages and rationalize organizational structure coupled by lower cost of energy. Likewise, there was improvement on insurance underwriting cost attributable to better claims management resulting to 9% decrease in underwriting cost as compared to the same period last year. Operating expenses were kept at P0.5 million. The Group also reported a reduced financing cost during the period arising from the settlement and acquisition of loans by an affiliate last year. Dividend income included in “Others–net” account represents return of the Group’s investment in Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. which was 14% lower as compared to last year. Financial Condition The Group’s consolidated resources registered at P4.3 billion, a 9% decrease from P4.8 billion as of 30 June 2008. Main sources of cash and cash equivalents as of 30 June 2009 were cash flows from operating activities amounted to P83 million. Decrease in AFS investments is mainly attributable to the lower market value of an investment and disposal of shares of stocks. As a result of the decline in market value Unrealized valuation loss on AFS investments was recognized during the period. Receivables dropped by 13% on account of improved collections. Inventories also decreased by 13% due to lower stock level. Other Current Assets increased by 11% arising from the additional creditable withholding tax during the period. Held to maturity Investment increased by 18% due to additional investment. The net decrease in Investment property, Property, plant and equipment and Leasehold rights is attributable to the amortization and depreciation for the period. The change in income tax rate from 35% to 30% effective 1 January 2009 resulted to a 15% and 12% decrease on Deferred Income Tax assets and Deferred Income Tax liability, respectively. Surety bond deposit included in Other Non-Current Assets in FY 2008 was reclassified to cash resulting to a 38% decrease in Non-Current Assets. Overall, the reduction in total assets is attributed to lower market value and disposal of AFS investments and net value of Property, plant and equipment, Investment property and Leasehold rights due to depreciation and amortization during the period. On the other hand, the Group’s total current obligations slightly increased by 2%, from P3.7 billion to P3.8 billion due to accrued provision for probable losses negated by the 48% decrease in Amounts Owed to Related Parties. Retirement benefits were paid during the year, that resulted to a 13% decrease in Retirement obligation as of end of the year. LCI While market share continues to be pressured by the increasing volume of cheaper imported tiles, LCI managed its financials for the year by lowering total input production cost by 19%. It complemented lower cost of energy for the year with a more efficient operation that included improvement in production cycle times, lower wastages and a rationalization of its organizational structure. As a result, LCI ended the fiscal year with a lower net loss of P161 million from previous year’s net loss of P199 million.

The year also saw LCI introducing three color extensions to the much-demanded PINOS rustic series, and in March 2009’s WORLDBEX event, LCI launched six new designs that further strengthened its command on the rustic tiles market. LCI is looking ahead to a stronger year with its focus on a more efficient operation hinged on the use of alternative sources of energy and fuel. It will also concentrate on coming up with more stylish and elegant designs while educating the public on quality, based on its vision to promote “Filipino Elegance Built To Last”. OMI This year, OMI assumed the role as LCI’s full-fledged sales and marketing arm. From a distributor’s role, OMI was given the freehand in sales operations, territory management, branding, and merchandising of Lepanto tiles. It was tasked to focus on improving service levels to more than 300 dealers, developers, architectural firms and contractors as well as increase the consumers’ awareness of the Lepanto brand. OMI ensured product availability not only to the dealer network but to the end-consumers as well. The presence of Lepanto tiles in major DIY depots such as Wilcon Builders, The Home Depot Group, ACE Hardware, MC Home Depots (Ortigas and Fort Bonifacio), and CITIHARDWARE was stabilized. As a result, DIY sales volume has picked up dramatically this year growing by 15% from last year. In addition, OMI’s efforts have paved the way for Lepanto tiles’ increased involvement in major projects of known developers like Avida Land, Robinsons Land, Phinma Property Holdings Inc., DM Consunji Inc., Eton Properties, Cumberland Development Corp., SM Development Corp., and Sta. Lucia Realty. New designs were added to the Rustic Series, Lepanto’s bestselling line among architect and developer clients. This rustic series are tiles with textured or patterned design made on a sculptured mold. Such designs are suitable for indoor and outdoor application. New colors for a number of current Rustic designs were also released to even enhance the variety of products offered to the market. Meanwhile, the Classic Series continues to dominate sales among distributors, maintaining its strong performance among Lepanto’s designs. More tile designs are bound to be introduced in the coming months, ensuring clients that OMI and Lepanto are attuned to the latest trends and needs of the market. OMI’s marketing team was formalized with the aim of creating and implementing initiatives that would generate greater brand exposure. A merchandising blitz campaign was launched, to brand all distributors’ outlets properly. In June 2009, the tagline “Filipino Elegance Built to Last” was developed alongside the new OMI logo and brochures. It is OMI’s vision that Lepanto tiles will regain a stronghold in the industry and be the preferred choice of architects, contractors, developers and the mass market. With recent changes in organizational structure that will allow for realignment of functions while maintaining a lean team, OMI intends to intensify efforts to promote the Lepanto brand such as trendsetting and introduction of innovative tile designs, presence in unconquered territories, and superior customer service for its new and loyal customers. TPI Fueled by an expanded revenue base and a strong commitment towards cost rationalization, TPI was able to grow its EBITDA by 26.5%, thus lowering its net loss by 32% compared to last year. TPI’s gross revenues rose by 5% from the previous year’s performance. As occupancy remained stable, revenues from the mall’s core leasable areas improved by 4% from last year’s P323 million to P335 million with modest fixed rental rate increases and growth in percentage of sales income. Other rental sources also grew by 9% with the night market operations growing by 54% from previous year. The financial performance was further enhanced by a more effective cost management program which reduced power costs resulting in overall costs increases of only 0.5% from previous year. Committed to its aim of being the premiere wholesale and retail center in the Divisoria area, TPI continues to pursue redevelopment efforts to enhance its buildings and facilities from outside and within, alongside sustained marketing programs and promotional campaigns to continually echo its presence in the market. These developments are envisioned to support overall mall business strategy to deliver the Best Shopping Proposition for its target market.

FPIC With the slowdown of the economy in the last quarter of 2008, FPIC still managed to post an 18% growth in GPW from the previous year’s performance. This was brought about by the significant growth attained during the last half of the fiscal year attributable to its tie-up with various distribution channel partners and the recruitment of productive agents and brokers. Though retention ratio went down slightly to 63% from previous year’s 64%, the actual amount of retention increased by 16% from last year’s P84.5 million to P97.9 million brought about by the increase in the motor car insurance business. FPIC also showed a moderate growth in retention in its property and marine lines. Earned Premiums continued to increase from last year’s P86 million to the current year’s P89 million. Loss ratio also showed a remarkable improvement from previous year’s 26% to this year’s loss ratio of 19%. This is due to the efficient handling of claims and the prudent underwriting measures implemented during the fiscal year. With the streamlining of operations in the early part of 2008 and the implementation of other efficient cost cutting measures, the effects of which were felt in the second half of the fiscal year, FPIC was able to improve its General & Administrative Expense ratio to 60% from last year’s 69%. Looking ahead with its structure in place, FPIC is confident that it could sustain its present growth and at the same time provide its clients the best service it can offer. Causes Underlying Losses and Steps Taken to Address these Causes The operations of the Group have been severely affected by the interest costs of its loans that remain unsettled as of end of June 2009 both for the Company and LCI. Moreover, the business operation of LCI continued to be hampered by the high cost of energy and the influx of imports.

Though the foregoing significantly impacted the overall financial condition of the Group, the other companies in the Group showed positive outcome. TPI continued to provide positive results, improving its EBITDA by almost 27%. FPIC, on the other hand, continue to show a double digit growth in production, growing by 18% from previous year. Though TPI reported a net loss, this was mainly brought about by non-cash expenses such as amortization of revaluation reserve on investment properties.

The management has undertaken initiatives to address both the operational and financial viability of the Group as follows:

a. Debt restructuring and reduction (including dacion en pago arrangements and loan repayments), divestment of non-core and non-profitable assets and additional capital infusion.

On 10 August 2009, in line with its debt restructuring program, the Group executed the Compromise Agreement for the settlement of its remaining loans of P1.5 billion for a total consideration of P680 million. With the compromise settlement, the Group was able to reverse its Capital Deficiency position in FY2009 to a positive Equity of P1.9 billion by end of September 2009.

In line with the asset rationalization, the Group has been working on the sale of its non-core assets. Proceeds from the sale will be utilized to settle its loan and provide working capital for its business.

b. Strengthening of core assets through the implementation of operating programs such as efficiency

improvement, cost reduction, rightsizing and productivity enhancement.

Prospects for the Future Moving forward, the Group will focus on its core competence. TPI has developed an innovative concept for a Commerce and Trade Mall Complex which will define the trend of shopping within the Tutuban district. Other projects of the Group are being studied and are expected to contribute to the Group’s growth. The Group will soon launch its first pocket commercial development in Laguna called the Trellis Pocket Center, which is expected to be operational within the 3rd Quarter of FY2010. Key Variable and Other Qualitative and Quantitative Factors The top 5 Performance Indicators of the Group are as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT The Stockholders and the Board of Directors Prime Orion Philippines, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Prime Orion Philippines, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity (capital deficiency) and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Non-controlling interests represent interests in certain subsidiaries not held by the Group. The equity, net income and other comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests are shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, respectively. Changes in Accounting Policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following new and amended PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) and Philippine Interpretations which were adopted as at July 1, 2010. New Interpretation • Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)

19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments, effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010

Amendments and Improvements to Standards • Amendments to PFRS 2, Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions, effective for

annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010 • Amendment to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, Classification of Rights Issues,

effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010 • Improvements to PFRSs in 2009 • Improvements to PFRSs in 2010 The new, revised, amended and improved standards and/or interpretations that have been adopted are deemed to have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. Standards or interpretations or amendments to standards that have been adopted and that are deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the Group are described below:

Improvements to PFRSs in 2009 The omnibus amendments to PFRSs issued in 2009 were issued primarily with a view of removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but did not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. • PAS 7, Cash Flows Statements, explicitly states that only expenditure that results in

recognized asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities.

• PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, clarifies the following: − that the prepayment option is considered closely related to the host contract when the

exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender up to the approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host contract.

− that the scope exemption for contracts between an acquirer and a vendor in a business combination to buy or sell an acquiree at a future period applies only to binding forward contracts, and not derivative contracts where further actions by either party are still to be taken.

− that gains or losses on cash flow hedges of a forecast transaction that subsequently results in a recognition of a financial instrument or on cash flow hedges of recognized financial instruments should be reclassified in the period that the hedged forecast cash flows affect the statement of comprehensive income.

*SGVMC410063*

Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Group did not early adopt the following standards, amendments, improvements and Philippine interpretations: Effective beginning July 1, 2011: • Amendments to PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures, was amended in response to concerns

that the previous disclosure requirements and the definition of a “related party” were too complex and difficult to apply in practice, especially in environments where government control is pervasive. The amended standard addresses these concerns by providing a partial exemption for government-related entities and by providing by simplifying the definition of a related party and removing inconsistencies. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier application permitted.

• Amendments to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Transfers of Financial Assets, effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The amendments will allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitization), including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may remain with the entity that transferred the assets. The amendments also require additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.

• Amendment to Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement, which is itself an interpretation of PAS 19, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction, applies in the limited circumstances when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendment permits such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted.

Improvements to PFRSs in 2010 The omnibus amendments to PFRS issued in 2010 were issued primarily with a view of removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, except when otherwise stated. • PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, emphasizes the interaction between quantitative

and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments. The amendment will be applied retrospectively.

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The amendment will be applied retrospectively.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken into account. The amendment will be applied retrospectively.

*SGVMC410063*

Effective beginning July 1, 2012: • Amendment to PAS 12, Income Taxes - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets,

effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The amendment provides a practical solution to the problem of assessing whether recovery of an asset will be through use or sale. It introduces a presumption that recovery of the carrying amount of an asset will, normally, be through sale.

Effective beginning July 1, 2013: • PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, introduces new

requirements on the classification and measurement of financial assets. It uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the many different rules in PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The approach in the new standard is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the many different impairment methods in PAS 39. The standard’s effective period for mandatory adoption is on January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted for financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2010 in the Philippines.

The Group does not expect any significant impact in the financial statements when it adopts the above standards, amendments, improvements and Philippine interpretations. The revised and additional disclosures provided by the standards, amendments, improvements and interpretations will be included in the financial statements when these are adopted in 2012 to 2014, when applicable. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition Financial assets and liabilities within the scope of PAS 39 are classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), loans and receivables, HTM investments, AFS investments and other financial liabilities. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every end of the reporting period. All financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs. Purchases or sales of financial instruments that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date (i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset). The Group’s financial instruments are in the nature of loans and receivables, AFS investments, HTM investments and other financial liabilities as at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

*SGVMC410063*

Financial Instruments - Subsequent Measurement The subsequent measurement of financial instruments depends on their classification as follows: 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 measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in interest income in the consolidated statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within twelve (12) months from the end of the reporting period. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. The Group’s loans and receivables include cash and cash equivalents, receivables and amounts owed by related parties (see Notes 4, 5, and 18). HTM Investments Quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as HTM when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Where the Group sells other than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS investments and the Group will be precluded from using the HTM investments account for the current period and for the next two succeeding periods from tainting date. After initial measurement, HTM investments are measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on or acquisition and for that are integral parts of the EIR rate. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. As at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Group’s HTM investments include investments in debt securities (see Note 10). AFS Investments AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified or designated as at FVPL, HTM investments or loans and receivables. Financial assets may be designated at initial recognition as AFS if they are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. AFS investments are included in current assets if it is expected to be realized or disposed of within twelve (12) months from the end of the reporting period. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. AFS investments are measured at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS investments are excluded from consolidated statement of income and are reported as “Unrealized valuation gains (losses) on AFS investments” in the statement of changes in equity. Unquoted AFS investments, where there is no reliable basis of their fair values, are measured at cost less impairment loss.

*SGVMC410063*

When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Where the Group 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 holding AFS investments are reported as interest income using the EIR. Dividends earned on holding AFS investments are recognized in the comprehensive statement of income under when the right of payment has been established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The Group’s listed and nonlisted equity securities and quoted and unquoted debt securities are classified under this category (see Note 9). Other Financial Liabilities After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. The Group’s other financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued expenses, amounts owed to related parties and rental and other deposits (see Notes 15, 16 and 18). Determination of Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined by reference to the quoted market prices (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions) at the close of business at the end of the reporting period, without any reduction for transaction costs. When current bid and ask 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, fair value is determined using valuation technique. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, option pricing models and other relevant valuation model. “Day 1” Difference Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different to 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 Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a “Day 1” difference) in the consolidated statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset or liability. In cases where the data used is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1” difference amount. Offsetting of Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and the liability simultaneously.

*SGVMC410063*

Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a 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 has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Financial Assets Carried at Amortized Cost For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them 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 there is objective evidence that an impairment loss 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 expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original EIR. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. AFS Investments For AFS investments, the Group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence of impairment. In case of equity investments classified as AFS investments, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. “Significant” is to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment or “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income - is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses on AFS investments are not reversed through profit or loss while increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income in equity.

*SGVMC410063*

In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS investments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. The interest income is recorded in the consolidated statement of income. If, in subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increased and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Derecognition of Financial Instruments 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 when:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

• the Group 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

• the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights 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 Group’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 Group could be required to repay. 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 consolidated statement of income. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location are accounted for as follows: • Raw materials, factory supplies and spare parts - purchase cost on a moving-average method;

Page 66: Full page fax print - Prime Orion Philippines, Inc. … ·  · 2015-03-16... a Secretary’s Certificate quoting the Board Resolution authorizing the corporate officer ... corporation,

- 10 -

*SGVMC410063*

• Finished goods and work in progress - direct materials, labor, and proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating capacity.

The NRV is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs of marketing and distribution. Investments in Associates Investments in shares of stock in which the Group has an effective interest of at least 20% or where it has, at least, ability to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investments are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost adjusted for the equity in consolidated statement of income and changes in the investee’s equity account since the date of acquisition. Dividends received are treated as a reduction in the carrying value of the investments. The reporting dates of the associates and the Group are identical and the associates’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. The associate is accounted for under equity method from the date the Group obtains significant influence. In the Parent Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. The effective percentages of ownership in investments in associates for June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Effective Percentage

of Ownership 2011 2010 Cyber Bay Corporation (Cyber Bay) and Subsidiary: Cyber Bay 22.28 22.28 Central Bay Reclamation and Development Corporation (Central Bay) 22.28 22.28 BIB Aurora Insurance Brokers, Inc. (BAIBI) 20.00 20.00

Real Estate Held for Sale and Development Real estate held for sale and development is carried at the lower of cost and NRV. NRV is the selling price in the ordinary course of business less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost includes acquisition cost of the land plus development and improvement costs. Borrowing costs incurred on loans obtained to finance the improvements and developments of real estate held for sale and development are capitalized while development is in progress. Leasehold Rights Leasehold rights are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining term of the lease from the start of commercial operations.

*SGVMC410063*

Investment Properties The Group’s investment properties include properties utilized in its mall operations, held for rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Leasehold improvements under investment properties (including buildings and structures) on the leased land are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

An investment property is derecognized either when it has been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period of retirement or disposal. Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale. Leasehold improvements and investment properties are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The lease contract on a land where the investment property is located is for twenty five (25) years, which is also the amortization period of the investment property. In December 2009, the lease contract on a land where the Group’s primary investment property (see Note 13) is located, was renewed. As a result of the lease renewal, and the review of the estimated useful life and amortization period of the said investment property, management came to a conclusion that there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from the said property of the Group. As a result, in 2010, the Group prospectively revised the remaining amortization period of this property from an average of twenty five (25) years (which is the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life) to thirty five (35) years. These changes have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. The Group transfers directly to deficit the realized portion of the revaluation reserve on investment properties at deemed cost. Accordingly, an amount corresponding to the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount (deemed cost) of the properties and depreciation based on the properties original cost is transferred annually from “Revaluation reserve on investment properties” account at deemed cost to “Deficit” account in the consolidated statement of financial position. The amount transferred is net of the related deferred income tax liability. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value, except for land and building, together with their improvements, which are stated at appraised values as determined by an independent firm of appraisers. The excess of appraised value over the acquisition costs of the properties is shown as “Revaluation increment on property, plant and equipment” under the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. An amount

*SGVMC410063*

corresponding to the difference between the depreciation and amortization based on the revalued carrying amount of the properties and depreciation and amortization based on the original cost is transferred annually from “Revaluation increment in property, plant and equipment” to “Deficit” account in the consolidated statement of financial position. The amount transferred is net of the related deferred income tax liability. The initial cost of property, plant and equipment consists of its purchase price, including import duties, taxes 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, are normally charged to operations in the year in which 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 an additional cost 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 in value are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited to or charged against current operations. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Years Land improvements 30 Buildings and improvements 30 Leasehold improvements 3-5 Machinery and equipment 5-10 Transportation equipment 5 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-5

Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each end of the reporting period. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the consolidated statement of income.

*SGVMC410063*

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets The Group assesses at each end of the reporting period whether there is an indication that a nonfinancial asset may be impaired when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists or when annual impairment testing for a nonfinancial asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the nonfinancial asset’s recoverable amount. A nonfinancial asset’s estimated recoverable amount is the higher of the nonfinancial asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual nonfinancial 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 values exceed the estimated recoverable amounts, the assets are considered impaired and are written down to their estimated recoverable amounts. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each end of the reporting period 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 nonfinancial asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset is increased to its estimated recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the nonfinancial asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income unless the nonfinancial asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Merchandise sale Revenue from sale of merchandise is recognized upon passage of title which coincides with the delivery of the goods. Rental Lease is recognized as income over the terms of the lease of mall spaces on a straight-line basis. Real estate sales Revenue from sale of real estate is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of the sales contract.

Insurance premiums and commissions Premiums from insurance contracts are recognized as revenue over the period of the contracts using the 24th method. The portion of the premiums written that relates to the unexpired periods of the policies at end of the reporting period is accounted for as “Reserve for unearned premiums” included in the “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated statement of financial position. The related insurance premiums ceded that pertain to the unexpired periods at the end of the reporting period are accounted for as “Deferred reinsurance premiums” shown as part of “Other noncurrent assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position. The net changes in these accounts between ends of the reporting periods are charged or credited to income for the year. Interest Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues (using the EIR method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset). Dividend Income Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. Amounts Owed by and to Related Parties Related party relationship exists when one party has the ability to control, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Such relationship also exists between and/or among entities, which are under common control with the reporting enterprises and its key management personnel, directors or its stockholders. In considering each related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form. Claims The liabilities for unpaid claim costs (including incurred but not reported losses) and claim adjustment expenses relating to insurance contracts are accrued when insured events occur. The liabilities for unpaid claims are based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling the claims. The method of determining such estimates and establishing reserves is continually reviewed and updated. Changes in estimates of claim costs resulting from the continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for claims are recognized as income or expense for the period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made. Estimated recoveries on settled and unsettled claims are evaluated in terms of the estimated realizable values of the salvaged recoverables and deducted from the liability for unpaid claims. The unpaid claim costs are accounted as Claims Payable under “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Income Taxes 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 income tax rates and income tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the end of the reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the profit or loss in the consolidated statement of income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

*SGVMC410063*

Deferred Income Tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period 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, except:

• where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an

asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries

and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward benefits of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except: • where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises

from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting period 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. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each end of the reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 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 each end of the reporting period. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the consolidated statement of income or directly in equity. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Retirement Benefit Costs The Group has a defined benefit retirement plan which requires contributions to be made to separately administered funds. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for each individual plan at the end of the previous reporting year exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a retirement plan, past service cost is recognized immediately. The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized and reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the 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 at inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies: a. There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the

arrangement;

b. A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term;

c. There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependant on a specified asset; or

d. There is a substantial change to the asset. Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c) or (d) and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b). Group as a Lessor Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same bases as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Group as a Lessee Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

*SGVMC410063*

Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Foreign Currency Transactions The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. The Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Philippine peso based on the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange rate differences arising from the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they arise. At year-end, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated at closing rate and any exchange differentials are credited to or charged against income. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Capital Stock Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. The excess of proceeds from issuance of shares over the par value of shares are credited to the additional paid-in capital. Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the year, attributable to the equity holders of the Parent Company, by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and for all years presented are adjusted for events, other than the conversion of potential common shares, that have changed the number of common shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group 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 Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate financial asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, 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 and others.

*SGVMC410063*

Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable.

Events after the Reporting Period Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s financial position at end of the reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when material.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the judgments assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as they become reasonably determinable. Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcome can differ from these estimates. Judgments In the process of applying the Group’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 consolidated financial statements: Determining Functional Currency Based on the economic substance of underlying circumstances relevant to the Group, the functional currency of the Group has been determined to be the Philippine peso. The Philippine peso is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates and it is the currency that mainly influences the underlying transactions, events and conditions relevant to the Group. Assessing Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessor The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out under operating lease arrangements. Assessing Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessee The Group has entered into a lease agreement for the corporate office space and a subsidiary’s mall operations. The Group has determined that it does not obtain all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the assets under operating lease arrangements.

*SGVMC410063*

Estimates and Assumptions The key estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, 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. Estimating Allowance for Impairment Losses on Receivables and Amounts Owed by Related Parties The Group reviews its receivables and amounts owed by related parties at each end of the reporting period to assess whether an allowance for impairment should be recorded in the consolidated statement of income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumption about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance. For the amounts owed by related parties, the Group uses judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, assessment of the related parties’ operating activities (active or dormant), business viability and overall capacity to pay, in providing allowance against the recorded receivable amounts. For the receivables, the Group evaluates specific accounts where the Group has information that certain customers or third parties are unable to meet their financial obligations. Facts, such as the Group’s length of relationship with the customers or other parties and the customers’ or other parties’ current credit status, are considered to ascertain the amount of allowance that will be provided. The allowances are evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. Total receivables and amounts owed by related parties amounted to P=666.3 million and P=627.3 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total allowance for impairment losses on receivables and amounts owed by related parties amounted to P=343.1 million and P=379.l million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Notes 5 and 18). Estimating Allowance for Inventory Losses The Group maintains an allowance for inventory losses. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the recoverability of the inventory. These factors include, but are not limited to, the physical condition and location of inventories on hand, the fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events occurring after the end of the period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the period, and the purpose for which the inventory item is held. Inventories amounted to about P=287.6 million and about P=232.4 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, net of allowance for inventory losses amounting to about P=36.4 million and about P=29.1 million, respectively (see Note 6). Estimating Allowances for Impairment Losses of AFS Investments The Group recognizes impairment losses on AFS investments when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of such investments below its cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgment. For equity instruments when determining whether the decline in value is significant, the Group considers historical volatility of share price (i.e., the higher the historical volatility, the greater the decline in fair value before it its likely to be regarded as significant) and the period of

- 20 -

*SGVMC410063*

time over which the share price has been depressed (i.e., a sudden decline is less significant than a sustained fall of the same magnitude over a longer period). For debt instruments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. Total allowance for impairment losses on AFS investments amounted to P=8.6 million and nil as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 9). The carrying amount of the Group’s AFS investments is P=433.2 million and P=636.9 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 9). Estimating Allowance for Impairment Losses of Investments in Associates PFRS requires that an impairment review be performed when certain impairment indicators are present. Determining the fair value of investments in associates, which requires the determination of future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such asset, requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect its financial statements. Future events could cause the Group to conclude that the investment is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the statement of financial position and statement of income. No impairment losses on its investments in associates were recognized in 2011 and 2010. Allowance for impairment losses on investments in associates amounted to P=725.0 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 (see Note 11). The carrying value of investments in associates as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, amounted to P=530.9 million and P=530.8 million, respectively (see Note 11). Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, Investment Properties and Leasehold Rights The estimated useful lives used as bases for depreciating the Group’s property, plant and equipment, investment properties and leasehold rights were determined on the basis of management’s assessment of the period within which the benefits of these asset items are expected to be realized taking into account actual historical information on the use of such assets as well as industry standards and averages applicable to the Group’s assets. The Group estimates the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment and investment properties based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and investment properties are reviewed, at least, annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear and technical or commercial obsolescence on the use of these assets. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and investment properties would increase depreciation and amortization and decrease property, plant and equipment and investment properties. Investment properties are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The lease contract on a land where the investment property is located is for twenty five (25) years, which is also the amortization period of the investment property. In December 2009, the lease contract is renewed. As a result of the lease renewal and

*SGVMC410063*

the review of the estimated useful life and amortization periods of the said investment property, management came to a conclusion that there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from the said property of the Group. As a result, in 2010, the Group prospectively revised the remaining amortization period of this property from an average twenty five (25) years (which is shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life) to thirty five (35) years. These changes have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. The net book value of property, plant and equipment amounted to P=655.1 million and P=660.7 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 12). The net book value of investment properties amounted to P=657.5 million and P=686.1 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 13). The net book value of leasehold rights amounted to P=22.1 million and P=31.0 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 16). Estimating Allowance for Impairment Losses of Property, Plant and Equipment The Group assesses impairment on 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 the Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

• significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating

results;

• significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and

• significant negative industry or economic trends. In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the financial statements.

These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized whenever evidence exists that the carrying value is not recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized and charged to earnings if the discounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount. Fair value is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the risk-free rate of interest for a term consistent with the period of expected cash flows. There were no impairment loss recognized in 2011 and 2010. As at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment amounted to P=655.1 million and P=660.7 million, respectively (see Note 21).

*SGVMC410063*

Estimating Allowance for Impairment Losses of Investment Properties Assets are reviewed and tested whenever there is indication of impairment and at least at each end of the reporting period. The Group maintains allowances for impairment losses at a level considered adequate to provide for potential losses on investment properties. No impairment losses were recognized in 2011 and 2010. The carrying value of investment properties amounted to P=657.5 million and P=686.1 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 (see Note 13). Estimation for Allowance for Impairment Losses on Other Current and Noncurrent Assets The Group provides allowance for losses on other current assets when they can no longer be realized. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Group made different judgments or utilized different estimates. An increase in allowance for losses would increase recorded expenses and decrease other current assets.

There were no impairment losses recognized in 2011 and 2010. As at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the carrying value of other current assets amounted to P=178.9 million and P=182.9 million, respectively (see Note 8) and the carrying value of other noncurrent assets amounted to P=122.3 million and P=142.0 million, respectively (see Note 14). Assessing Realizability of Deferred Income Tax Assets The Group reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at each end of the reporting period 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 Group will generate sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of its deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets recognized in the books amounted to P=89.6 million and P=85.6 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Temporary differences for which no deferred income tax asset was recognized amounted to P=468.5 million and P=479.2 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 22). Determining Present Value of Retirement Benefit Cost The determination of the Group’s retirement benefit obligation and expense is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates, expected returns on plan assets and salary increase rates. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the Group’s assumptions, subject to the 10% corridor tests, are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded benefit obligation in such future periods. While the Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences between actual experiences and assumptions may materially affect the Group’s accrued retirement benefit obligation and annual retirement expense. Retirement benefit obligation amounted to P=68.1 million and P=62.1 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 21). Estimating Contingencies The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with inside and outside legal counsel handling the defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings.

*SGVMC410063*

Estimating Fair Values of Financial Instruments Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Any change in the fair value of these financial instruments would directly affect the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of changes in equity. Fair values of financial assets as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to P=1.5 billion and P=1.4 billion, respectively, while the fair values of financial liabilities as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to P=1.6 billion and P=1.5 billion, respectively (see Note 28).

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash in banks earn interest at the respective bank deposit rates. Short-term investments are made for varying periods of up to three (3) months depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group and earn interest at the respective short-term investment rates. Interest earned from cash in banks amounted to P=0.1 million, P=0.3 million and P=0.8 million as at June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest earned from short-term investments amounted to P=6.6 million, P=5.0 million and P=14.1 million as at June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively (see Note 20).

Trade debtors are non-interest bearing and are generally on thirty (30) days’ term. Insurance receivables consist of premiums receivable, due from ceding companies, reinsurance recoverable on paid losses -facultative, funds held by ceding companies and other reinsurance accounts receivables. Other receivables include receivables of OLI from Cosco Land Corporation (CLC) amounting to P=167.9 million and P=204.4 million as at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These receivables are collateralized by the shares of stock of Cyber Bay owned by CLC. The receivables from CLC are fully provided with allowance. The Group was able to collect P=36.6 million and P=8.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Movements of allowance for impairment losses on receivables are as follows:

In 2011 and 2010, the Group sold certain listed equity securities and recognized a gain on sale of P=155.6 million and P=2.0 million, respectively. In 2011, management assessed that there is a significant doubt regarding recoverability of AFS investment amounting to P=8.6 million. Certain AFS investments are reserved investments in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Code as security for the benefit of policy holders and creditors of the FPIC. On February 28, 2007, OBII and The Nassim Fund, a foreign private investment company, entered into a deed of sale of shares of stock representing OBII’s 17.64% equity in Pepsi Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI). As a result of the sale, the Group’s management determined that the remaining equity interest in PCPPI of 4.52% will be classified as AFS investment. Prior to the sale of PCPPI shares, the Group classified the PCPPI investment as investment in an associate. In March 2007, Asset Pool A (SPV-AMC), Inc. (APA) filed a Complaint for rescission of the dead of sale of shares of stock in PCPPI against OIHPI, certain individual defendants, OBII, Hong Way Holdings, Inc. (HWHI), Nassim Capital Pte. Ltd. (Nassim Capital) and OLI. APA claimed that it was a purchaser of LCI loans from Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) of which OIHPI was the surety. APA alleged that the alienation of the PCPPI shares by OBII was grossly undervalued and made in fraud of creditors to defeat the claim of APA against OIHPI and LCI. APA, likewise, prayed for the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and/or Writ of Preliminary Injunction (Injunction), freezing the proceeds of the sale and, after trial on the merits, the rescission of the sale to OLI, HWHI and Nassim Capital. While the trial is on-going, POPI, LCI, OIHPI and APA entered into a Compromise Agreement on August 10, 2009. After full compliance by the parties with their obligations in the Court of Appeals (CA), APA and OIHPI filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss on July 26, 2010. OLI filed a Manifestation on August 4, 2010 adopting APA and OIHPI’s Joint Motion to Dismiss and waiving its compulsory counterclaims against APA and cross-claims against OBII. On August 16, 2010, the SC issued a Resolution granting the parties’ Joint Motion to Dismiss and declaring the case closed and terminated. Entry of judgment was made on October 1, 2010.

Cyber Bay and Central Bay On April 25, 1995, Central Bay, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cyber Bay, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA; formerly Public Estates Authority) for the complete and entire reclamation and horizontal development of a portion of the Manila-Cavite Coastal Road and Reclamation Project (the Project) consisting of three partially reclaimed and substantially eroded islands (the Three Islands) along Emilio Aguinaldo Boulevard in Parañaque and Las Piñas, Metro Manila, with a combined total area of 157.8 hectares, another area of 242.2 hectares contiguous to the Three Islands and, at Central Bay’s option as approved by the PRA, an additional 350 hectares more or less to regularize the configuration of the reclaimed area.

On March 30, 1999, the PRA and Central Bay executed an Amended Joint Venture Agreement (AJVA) to enhance the Philippine Government’s share and benefits from the Project which was approved by the Office of the President of the Philippines on May 28, 1999. On July 9, 2002, the SC (in the case entitled “Francisco Chavez vs. Amari Coastal Bay and Reclamation Corp.”) issued a ruling declaring the AJVA null and void. Accordingly, PRA and Central Bay were permanently enjoined from implementing the AJVA. On July 26, 2002, Central Bay filed a Motion for Reconsideration (MR) of said SC decision. On May 6, 2003, the SC En Banc denied with finality Central Bay’s MR. On May 15, 2003, Central Bay filed a Motion for Leave to Admit Second MR. In an En Banc Resolution of the SC dated July 8, 2003, the SC resolved to admit the Second MR of Central Bay.

*SGVMC410063*

On November 11, 2003, the SC rendered a 7-7 split decision on Central Bay’s Second MR. Because of the new issues raised in the SC’s latest resolution that were never tried or heard in the case, Central Bay was constrained to file on December 5, 2003 a Motion for Re-deliberation of the SC’s latest resolution which motion was denied with finality by the SC. With the nullification of the AJVA, Central Bay has suspended all Project operations. On August 10, 2007, in view of the failure by the PRA to comply with its obligations and representations under the AJVA, Cyber Bay and Central Bay have filed their claims for reimbursement of Project expenses in the amount of P=10.2 billion with the PRA. Cyber Bay and Central Bay provided the PRA with the summary and details of their claims on September 5, 2007. On July 15, 2008, Cyber Bay sent a follow-up letter to the PRA. The PRA, in its letter dated July 18, 2008, informed Cyber Bay that its claim is still being evaluated by the PRA. As at June 30, 2011, the claim is still being evaluated by the PRA. The carrying value of investment in Cyber Bay as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 amounting to P=528.5 million represents the Parent Company’s unpaid subscription in Cyber Bay. The related liability is presented as “Subscriptions Payable” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Investment properties of TPI substantially represent leasehold improvements on the land leased from Philippine National Railways (PNR) which are utilized in TPI’s mall operations and held for rentals. Upon adoption of PAS 40, Investment Property, TPI chose the cost model and continues to carry these investment properties at deemed cost using their revalued amount as allowed under PFRS.

Rental revenue from investment properties amounted to P=505.2 million, P=498.6 million and P=470.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Expenses arising from investment properties amounted to P=444.6 million, P=447.7 million and P=527.3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value of the investment properties, which has been determined based on the latest valuations performed by Cuervo Appraisers, Inc. date July 31, 2009, exceeds its carrying cost. Cuervo Appraisers, Inc. is an industry specialist in valuing these types of investment properties. The aggregate fair value of investment properties amounted to P=2.7 billion. TPI depreciates certain investment properties over the term of the leases or estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. On September 11, 2009, the BOD approved for the renewal of the lease contract (see Note 25) with PNR which is set to expire in 2014. On December 22, 2009, the Group and PNR agreed to renew the lease contract on a PNR land, where the Group’s investment property is located, for another twenty five (25) years beginning September 5, 2014. As a result of the lease renewal, and the review of the amortization period and estimated useful life of the said investment property, management came to a conclusion that there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from the said property of the Group. As a result, in 2010, the Group prospectively revised the remaining amortization period of this property from an average of twenty five (25) years (which is the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life) to thirty five (35) years. These changes have been accounted for as change in accounting estimates. Depreciation on revaluation reserve on investment properties at deemed cost amounted to P=14.4 million, P=14.4 million and P=67.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On August 10, 2009, the Group and APA entered into a compromise agreement for the full settlement of the Group’s loan obligations totaling P=2.2 billion, including the related accrued interests. On March 15, 2010, the Parent Company fully settled the remaining compromise amount of P=49.2 million to APA.

Subsequently, the Group and APA have jointly moved for the dismissal of all pending cases between the Group and APA which the SC issued a Resolution granting the parties’ Joint Motion to Dismiss and declaring the case closed and terminated. Entry of judgment was made on October 1, 2010. With the settlement of the loans, the Group has no longer outstanding obligations to third party financial institutions as at June 30, 2010. As mentioned in Note 7, an agreement was executed among the City, LCI and OPDI for the assignment of the City’s real property tax receivable from LCI. OPDI delivered certain real estate properties to the City. The real property tax assessment amounted to P=75.0 million while the recorded obligation amounted to P=113.9 million, resulting to a gain of P=38.9 million in the 2010 consolidated statement of income.

18. Related Party Transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control, directly or indirectly, the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk in the Group. Credit quality of neither past due nor impaired financial asset The credit quality of financial assets is being managed by the Group by grouping its financial assets into two: (a) High grade financial assets are those that are current and collectible; (b) Standard grade financial assets need to be consistently followed up but are still collectible. The tables below show the credit quality by class of financial assets based on the Group’s credit rating system:

Foreign Currency Risk The Group’s foreign currency risk results primarily from movements of the Philippine Peso against the US Dollar. The Group’s foreign currency risk arises primarily from its trade payables. The Group monitors and assesses cash flows from anticipated transactions and financing agreements denominated in US Dollar. The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk as at June 30, 2011 and 2010. Included in the table are the Group’s assets and liabilities at carrying amounts:

The following table presents the impact on the Group’s income before income tax due to changes in the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities, brought about by a reasonably possible change in the US$/P= exchange rate (holding all other variables constant) as at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Change in Effect on currency Income rate before tax (In Thousands) 2011 +5.00% (P=2,692) -5.00% 2,692 2010 +5.00% (2,580) -5.00% 2,580

There is no other impact on the Group’s equity other than those already affecting the consolidated statement of income. Equity Price Risk Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities decrease as the result of change in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stock. The equity price risk exposure arises from the Group’s investment in stocks. Equity investment of the Group is categorized as AFS investments. The Group measures the sensitivity to its equity securities by using Philippine Stock Exchange index fluctuations and its effect to respective share prices. The basic sensitivity analysis assumes that the stock’s standard deviation on its historical yield for the past one year provides the basis for reasonably possible change in prices of the stock investment. In establishing the relative range of stock investment yields based on historical standard deviation for one year. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to reasonable possible change in equity prices, with all other variables held constant:

Change in Equity Effect on price index Equity (In Thousands) 2011 Upper Limit +15.38% P=26,868 Lower Limit -15.38% (26,868) 2010 Upper Limit +18.42% 80,245 Lower Limit -18.42% (80,245)

The impact on the Group’s equity already excludes the impact on transactions affecting the consolidated statement of income.

Interest Rate Risk The Group’s exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rate relates to quoted debt instruments. The Group regularly monitors the market interest rate movements and manages its interest rate risks by using a mix of fixed and variable rates.

The sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the interest rate (in basis points), with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s equity as at June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Change in interest rates

(in basis points) Sensitivity

to equity 2011 +141 P=1,841 -141 (1,841) 2010 +145 P=1,701 -145 (1,701)

The impact on the Group’s equity is caused by the changes in the market value of quoted debt due to interest rate movements. The impact of the movement of interest rate on the Group’s floating rate debt is not significant. Capital Management The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and pay the Group’s currently maturing obligations. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes as at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

As at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Group considers the following accounts as capital:

2011 2010 Capital stock P=2,066,352 P=2,066,352 Additional paid-in capital 829,904 829,904 P=2,896,256 P=2,896,256

28. Financial Instruments

Fair Values of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to the short-term maturity of this financial instrument.

*SGVMC410063*

Receivables and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses The carrying amounts receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. AFS Investments AFS equity investments that are listed are based on their bid prices as at June 30, 2011 and 2010. AFS debt investments that are quoted are based on market prices. Unquoted AFS debt investments are based on market prices for similar investments. Nonlisted AFS equity investments are based on cost less impairment, if any, since its fair value cannot be determined reliably. HTM Investments HTM investments are based on quoted price.

Fair Value Hierarchy The following table shows the financial instruments recognized at fair value, analyzed between those whose fair value is based on:

• Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets of liabilities (Level 1);

• Those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and

• Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
