These give the Company a proactive stance particularly in terms of adequate preparations in case of changes in the regulatory environment. The Company complies with all regulatory requirements.

(xi)

Government Regulation

To ensure the safety and well-being of its consumers, Splash complies with the regulatory requirements of the Bureau of Foods and Drugs (BFAD). Before a product can be released to the public, Splash products are registered through the submission of documentary and technical requirements to the BFAD. These include the necessary testing methods and results used. The registration process for cosmetic products may be accomplished in a minimum of thirty (30) working days, depending on the findings and the completeness of requirements. As part of regulatory controls for the Cosmetics Industry, the Department of Health (DOH) has further adopted the ASEAN Harmonized Cosmetic Scheme and ASEAN Technical Documents insofar as they are not in conflict with Philippine National Laws. The scheme aims for the mutual recognition of product registration approvals for cosmetics amongst the Member States, hence, allowing the products to be marketed in these territories. To ensure that product integrity and operations quality are achieved, the following licenses and certifications: License to operate permit from the DOH-BFAD for the Company to operate as manufacturer, trader, distributor, exporter and wholesaler of drug and cosmetic products.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certificate of conformance to set standards and best practices (both for facility and processes) recognized globally in the manufacturing and quality control of cosmetic and drug products. The DOH-BFAD conducts periodic audit and inspection. Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) Certificate ensures compliance to local trade regulations for coconut-based products. Halal Certification issued by the Philippine Ulama Congress Organization, Inc. which certifies that the active ingredients and other raw materials used for the Companys products have been clinically tested and found safe and do not contain animal-based ingredients or animal fat.

(xii)

Research and Development

The Company established the Splash Research Institute to continuously develop new products that would satisfy the rapidly growing needs of the personal care market by employing cutting-edge technology. By adopting the open innovation concept, the Company collaborates with its suppliers to come up with new and better product formulations in a cost effective manner. Splash has developed a flexible brand and product creation process that allows Splash to readily respond to changes in consumer preferences. The Company strives to have at least two (2) years worth of new products in the pipeline, at any given time.

The SRIs interdependent departments Product Research and Development,PackagingInnovations,ProductTestingand Documentation, and Skin Research are synergized towards creating innovative products that are relevant to the felt and latent needs of consumers.(xiii) Cost and effect of compliance with the environmental laws

The company has consistently complied with all environmental laws and regulations and provides costs allocation for such compliance.(xiv) Total Number of employees

As of December 31, 2007 registrant had 304 full time employees. Out of the total employees, 254 are at the Plant Site and 50 are at the Corporate Office. The company has no plan of hiring additional staff. The Company is non-unionized.(xv) Major risk/s involved in the business of the Company

Risk of economic slowdown Significant deterioration in the Philippine economy may adversely affect consumer sentiment and lead to a reduction in demand for the Companys products. High inflation rate would result in consumers prioritizing the basic or essential goods. Regulatory risk The products being manufactured, marketed and sold by the Company are subject to standards and regulations set forth by government and regulatory agencies particularly the DOH-BFAD and the DTI which from time-to-time may introduce new rules and regulatory policies or promulgate changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, which might directly affect the operations and profitability of the Company and/or may be costly to comply with. Constant monitoring of the regulatory environment and membership to industry associations and lobby groups mitigate this risk [please see paragraph (x)]. Product liability risk In the course of its operations, the Company might inadvertently manufacture and market defective or substandard products which could bring about harmful effects to its customers such as skin irritation and allergies, among others. To mitigate this risk, the Company through its Splash Research Institute, does exhaustive clinical testings before a product is introduced to the market. It also adheres to strict manufacturing standards to avert the production of defective products [please refer to paragraph (xi)]. Risk of product infringement The Company may experience cases of infringement on its products, inventions, processes and proprietary rights from competitor companies or other groups which may result in reduction in sales and profitability. The Company protects and builds its brands by registering its trademarks with the Bureau of Trademarks of the Philippine Intellectual Property Office. Weakening R&D and marketing capabilities The Companys continuous growth hinges largely on the ability of its R&D to develop new innovative products and the ability of its marketing group to create or enhance brand equity. Companys future growth may be adversely affected by the inability of its R&D to introduce develop new value-adding and innovative products and/or its inability to effectively market products. Over the years, Splash has been investing heavily to upgrade and harness its R&D capabilities through investments in new technology, state-of-the-art equipment and developing a roster of competent and seasoned R&D specialists. The Companys Management Training recruits talented new graduates from the countrys top colleges and universities and mold them into top notch marketing and sales professionals who will someday take the leadership helm of the Company. Rising intensity of competition The personal care business is highly competitive with large multi-national companies aggressively competing for market shares. and The and said

Extensive R&D and large investments in brand building serve as high barriers to entry in the beauty and personal care industry. This has limited the number of major players to a few multinational and local companies. Splashs marketing expertise and its responsive R&D infrastructure would be effective in thwarting the threat intensified competition.

Item 2. Properties The Companys industrial plant area, where substantially all of its operations are conducted, is currently situated at F. Lazaro Street, West Canumay, Valenzuela City with an estimated site area of 29,410 square meters and floor area of 20,910 square meters.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Item 6. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation Results of Operations: Revenues Net sales registered double digit growth of 25% to reach P3,010.8 million at year-end 2007 on the back of the strong performance of the Naturals segment which registered 59% year-on-year growth. Hair Care segment grew by almost 11% while the Skin Care segment was steady at close to 6% growth. Business Segments and Market Performance The Naturals segment benefited from the launch of new products. Of the 14 new products launched in 2007, five (5) are with the Naturals segments. New products contributed 16% to total sales.

The year 2007 saw the diversification of the Companys product portfolio. In 2006, two-thirds (or almost 66%) of total sales were generated by the Skin Care segment. The year 2007 saw significant increases in the contribution of Hair Care and Naturals segments.

Expenses Total cost of goods sold and operating expenses increased by 23.6% from 2,179 million in 2006 to P2,693 million in 2007. However, in terms of cost-to-sales ratio, total costs and expenses in 2007 was 89% of total sales compared with 91% in 2006 and 91.5% in 2005. Cost of goods sold (COGS) increased to 48.9% of sales which is 3.3% higher than the 45.6% COGS-to-Sales ratio in 2006. This is attributable to the higher COGS of new products which, on the average, are 5 percentage points higher than the Companys standard COGS-to-sales ratio of 45% since new products are generally introduced to the market at lower price points. The higher COGS, however, was offset by the relatively lower operating expenses. While in terms of peso value, operating expenses increased by almost 12% in 2007 vis--vis 2006, costto-sales ratio was down to 4.8% with 40.4% in 2007 and 45.2 in 2006.

The main contributors to this relatively lowering of operating expenses were: Advertising and promotions (where marketing and selling expenses were lumped) which accounted for close to 24% of sales, a significant reduction from the 27% cost-to-sales ratio in 2006 and close to 30% in 2005. This does not mean, however, that the Company has become less aggressive in its marketing and selling initiatives. It continues to be so except that it is applying efficient and therefore cost-effective approaches. As can be seen in 2007, advertising and promotions grew by 11.4% while sales grew by 25.5%. Expenses for outside services was reduced by half from P124.6 million in 2006 to P72.1 million in 2007.For the Full Year Ended2007 2006 2005

Net Income As a result of top-line growth and the effective management of costs and expenses, the Companys net income grew 32% to P271.2 million from P205.5 million in 2006. Recurring income (income from operations) grew almost 44% from P219.7 million in 2006 to P317.7 million in 2007. The Companys claim for a P47.5 million tax refund which was granted by the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) on May 6, 2008 resulted in a one-time impact of P46.5 million (amount of tax

Based on the AC Nielsen Retail Audit as of 31 Dec 2007 / 2006

With its double-digit sales and profit growth, the Companys key indicators understandably showed a pattern of growth. Sales of new products more than doubled, a critical indicator of success for the Companys innovation process. The loss of market share points of some brands were immediately addressed with more aggressive marketing and sales initiatives that were projected to produce positive results in the first quarter of 2008. As measures of supply chain efficiency, trade receivable and inventory turnover ratios both registered marked improvements over that of 2006.

On April 7, 2005, the Company applied with the BIR for administrative claim for refund for excess income taxes paid

for the taxable year 2002 amounting to =47,469,548 arising from its retroactive application of the income taxP exemption incentives under RA No. 7459. On May 29, 2007, the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) Second Division decided in favor of the Company and ordered the BIR to refund the said claim. The BIR filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the CTA and on October 30, 2007, the said Motion for Reconsideration filed by the BIR was denied. On December 7, 2007, the BIR filed a Petition for Review with the CTA En Banc and on May 6, 2008, the En Banc unanimously decided in favor of the Company. Management and its Legal Counsel believe that the decision of the CTA and CTA En Banc have persuasive effect and usually serve as a judicial guide. They believe that the fact of the CTA are entitled to the highest respect and the Supreme Court generally respects and refrains from setting aside conclusions reached by the CTA, which by the very nature of its function, is exclusively dedicated to the consideration, resolution of tax problems and has developed an expertise on the subject, unless there is a clear showing of abuse or improvident exercise of authority on its part. Based on the above facts, the Company recognized the receivable from the BIR amounting to =47,469,548 andP recognized Benefit from income tax for the same amount in 2007. (Notes from the Companys 2007 Audited Financial Statements)

Liquidity and Capital Resources The Companys financial position remained strong, backed up by solid operating cash flows and liquidity. Total assets at the end of 2007 amounted P4,497.6 million compared to P2,014.4 million in 2006. This translates into an increase of 123%. Cash and short-term placements amounted to P1,975 million at the end of 2007. This is 1,766% higher than that of the year 2006. Net cash flow from operations reached P103.2 million, a 33.9% decrease from last years P156.2 million mainly due to trade receivable and inventory turnovers. Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to (P127.5) million, a 130% increase from last years (P55.5) million due to investment in machinery and equipment. Net cash flow from financing activities amounted to P1,895.9 million, a 2,402.9% increase from last years (P78.9) were due to mostly from the proceeds from sales of shares of stocks. With total debts of P1,785.8 million at year end 2007, the Companys debt-to-equity ratio was 0.66, a dramatic fall from year-end 2007 of 1.77. This level is well within the 1.5:1 debt-to-equity limit prescribed by the FRN Agreement2.2

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) Facility Agreement (Notes Facility) for the issuance of =1,000,000,000 FRNs to a syndicate of lenders (four local financial institutions) inP order to pay all its outstanding short-term and long-term obligations (see Notes 14 and 15). The FRNs were issued on August 31, 2007 and are payable in five (5) annual installments. As of December 31, 2007, the maturities of the FRNs at nominal values, excluding the unamortized debt issuance costs follow: Due in 22008 22009 22010 22011 22012 Amount =50,000,000P 50,000,000 50,000,000 50,000,000 800,000,000 =1,000,000,000P

The FRNs bear interest starting August 31, 2007 and such interest is payable on each interest payment date which falls three months after the preceding interest payment date, in the case of the first interest payment date, after August 31, 2007. The rate of interest for such interest period shall be based on the Interest Rate 1 Setting Date by reference to the three- (3) month Philippine Dealing System Treasury Rate 1 at approximately 11:16 A.M., Manila time, on such date, plus an interest spread of 165 basis points (1.65%) per year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Stockholders and the Board of Directors Splash Corporation HBC Corporate Centre 548 Mindanao Avenue corner Quirino Highway Quezon City

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Splash Corporation (a subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc.), which comprise the balance sheets as at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the statements of income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the 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 entitys 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 financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

SPLASH CORPORATION(A Subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Corporate Information General Splash Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 30, 1991 primarily to develop, manufacture, bottle, pack, and market cosmetics and other beauty products, and pharmaceutical products in the Philippines and abroad. Before the Company listed its shares of stock with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on November 15, 2007, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc. (SHI). Its registered office address is HBC Corporate Centre, 548 Mindanao Avenue corner Quirino Highway, Quezon City. On November 15, 2007, the Companys shares of stock were listed and traded in the PSE. After the IPO wherein the Company offered 30% of outstanding shares (both primary and secondary) to the public, the Company is now 70%-owned by SHI, who exercises control over the Company (see Note 17). The accompanying financial statements were authorized for issuance by the BOD on May 9, 2008. On September 6, 2007, the SEC approved the petition filed by the Company and Splash Nutraceutical Corporation (SNC) on August 21, 2007 to set aside the Articles and Plan of Merger and the Amended Articles and Plan of Merger dated April 24, 2007 and August 3, 2007, respectively, which were previously approved by the SEC. Accordingly, the merger was not effected in the financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies Basis of Financial Statement Preparation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets which have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Companys functional currency. Statement of Compliance The Companys financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). Changes in Accounting Policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous years, except for the following new PFRS, amendments to existing Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) and Philippine Interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations which the Company has adopted during the year: Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Capital Disclosures. This amendment requires the Company to make new disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the Companys objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. These new disclosures are shown in Note 27.

*SGVMC3080 64*

-2-

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial statements. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, as well as sensitivity analysis of market risk. It replaces disclosure requirements of PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and PAS 30, Disclosure in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions. It is applicable to all entities that report under PFRS.

The Company adopted the amendment to the transitional provisions of PFRS 7, as approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council of the Philippines, which gives transitory relief with respect to the presentation of comparative information for the new risk disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments. Accordingly, the Company did not present comparative information for the disclosures required by paragraphs 31-42 of PFRS 7, unless the disclosure was previously required either under PAS 32 or PAS 30. Adoption of PFRS 7 resulted in additional disclosures. These disclosures include presenting the different classes of loans and receivables and rollforward of allowance for doubtful accounts (see Note 5), aging of financial assets and credit quality of past due but not impaired financial assets and sensitivity analysis as to changes in interest and foreign exchange rates (see Note 27).

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 7, Applying the Restatement Approach under PAS 29, Financial Reporting for Hyperinflationary Economies (effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2006). This Interpretation provides guidance on how to apply the requirements of PAS 29 in a reporting period in which an entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency, when the economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior period, and the entity therefore restates its financial statements in accordance with PAS 29. This Interpretation has no impact on the Companys financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 8, Scope of PFRS 2. This Interpretation requires PFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangements where equity instruments are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. The Interpretation has no impact on the Company because currently, the Company does not have share-based options. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives.This Interpretation establishes that the date to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date an entity becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows. Adoption of this Interpretation did not have any significant impact on the financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. This Interpretation addresses whether the frequency of reporting should affect the amount of any impairment charge recognized in an annual reporting period relating to goodwill, and available-for-sale equity investments. Adoption of this Interpretation did not have any impact on the financial statements.

*SGVMC3080 64*

-3-

Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Company opted not to early adopt the following new and amended accounting standards and Philippine Interpretations that have been approved but not yet effective as of December 31, 2007: PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or January 1, 2009). This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. PFRS 8 will replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting. The information reported would be that which management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments and allocating resources to those segments. Such information may be different from those reported in the balance sheet and statement of income and companies may need to provide explanations and reconciliations for the differences. The Company will assess the impact of this standard on its current manner of reporting segment information.

PAS 23 (R), Borrowing Costs (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009). The standard has been revised to require capitalization of borrowing costs when such costs relate to a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. The Company expects that this revised standard will have no impact on the Companys financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2, Group and Treasury Share Transactions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007). This Interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entitys equity instrument to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from another party, or (b) the shareholders of the entity provide the equity instrument needed. It also provides guidance on how subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account for such schemes when their employees receive rights to the equity instruments of the parent. The Company currently does not have any stock option plan and therefore, does not expect this Interpretation to have an impact on its financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008). This Interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from public-to-private service concession arrangements if control of the assets remain in the public hands but the private sector operator is responsible for construction activities as well as for operating and maintaining the public sector infrastructure. This Interpretation is not relevant to the Company.

Philippine Interpretation, IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008). This Interpretation addresses accounting by the entity that grants award credits to its customers. This Interpretation applies to customer loyalty award credits that: (a) an entity grants to its customers as part of sales transaction, i.e. a sale of goods, rendering of services or use by a customer of entity assets; and (b) subject to meeting any further qualifying conditions, the customers can redeem in the future for free or discounted goods or services. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Interpretation when it becomes effective in July 2008.

*SGVMC3080 64*

-4-

Philippine Interpretation, IFRIC 14, PAS 19, Limit of Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirement and their Interaction (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008). This Interpretation provides guidance on how to assess the limit on the amount of surplus in a defined benefit plan that can be recognized as an asset under PAS 19, Employee Benefits. The Company will assess the impact of this Interpretation on its current manner of accounting for its pension assets. PAS 1, Revised Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2009). The standard separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statements of changes in equity will include only details of transactions with owners, with all non-owner changes in equity presented as a single line. In addition, the standard introduces the statement of comprehensive income, which presents all items of income and expense recognized in profit or loss, together with all other items of recognized income and expense, either in one single statement, or in two liked statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the revised standard on its financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates of acquisition and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Date of recognition The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. In the case of a regular way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done using settlement date accounting. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

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

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax benefits.

*SGVMC3080 64*

-5-

The Company has no financial instruments classified as HTM investments. Determination of fair value The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organized financial market is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business at the balance sheet date. When the current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction. For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation methodologies. Valuation methodologies include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instrument for which market observable prices exist and other relevant valuation models. Day 1 profit Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Company recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 profit) in the statement of income, unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where use of data is made which are not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Company determines the appropriate method of recognizing the Day 1 profit amount.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and liabilities held for trading purposes, derivative financial instruments or those financial assets and liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivative instruments, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments or a financial guarantee contract. Financial assets and financial liabilities may be designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if any of the following criteria are met: the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on a different basis; or the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded.

*SGVMC3080 64*

-6-

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are accounted for in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded as interest income or expense, respectively. The Companys embedded derivative is included under this category. Embedded Derivative An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met: a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract; b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at FVPL. The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host contracts when the Company first becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required. The Company determines whether a modification to cash flows is significant by considering the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the embedded derivative, the host contract or both have changed and whether the change is significant relative to the previously expected cash flows on the contract. The Company has identified certain contracts with embedded third-currency derivatives (see Note 27). Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition measurement, such assets are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets (see Notes 5 and 8). The Companys cash and cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivable and advances to a stockholder are classified under this category. AFS investments AFS investments are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as designated as at FVPL, loans and receivables or HTM investments. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions.

*SGVMC3080 64*

After initial recognition, the Company measures its AFS investments at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a separate component of equity under Unrealized Valuation Gain (Loss) on Available-for-Sale Investments until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the statement of income. These financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless there is intention to dispose such assets within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

When the fair value of AFS investments cannot be measured reliably because of lack of reliable estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value of unquoted equity instruments, these investments are carried at cost, less any allowance for impairment losses. When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is recognized in the statement of income. Where the Company holds more than one investment in the same security, these are deemed to be disposed of on a first-in-first-out basis. Interest earned on the AFS investment is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned are recognized on the statement of income when the right to receive payment is established. The losses arising from impairment investments are recognized in the statement of income.

The Companys AFS investments consist of investments in quoted and unquoted equity shares and are classified under noncurrent assets (see Note 10). Other financial liabilities This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for trading or designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arising from operations (e.g. accounts payable and accrued liabilities) and loans and borrowings. All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less debt issue costs associated with the borrowings. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any debt issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. The Companys other financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses, floating-rate notes payable and bank loans. Impairment of Financial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event or events has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Assets carried at amortized cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the statement of income. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss will be reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. With respect to receivables, the Company performs a regular review of the age and status of these accounts, designed to identify accounts with objective evidence of impairment and provide the appropriate allowance for impairment losses. AFS investments carried at fair value If an AFS investment carried at fair value is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the statement of income, is transferred from equity to the statement of income. In the case of equity investment classified as AFS investments, objective evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Reversals of impairment losses in respect of equity instruments classified as AFS are not recognized in the statement of income.

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

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

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where: a. the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; b. the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed a obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; or c. the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset and either has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

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