This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale of 229,654,404 new common shares by way of
primary offer (the ―Offer‖), with a par value of ₱1.00 per share (the ―Offer Shares‖), of Century
Pacific Food, Inc., a corporation organized under Philippine law (the ―Company‖, ―CNPF‖, or the
―Issuer‖) to be listed and traded in the Main Board of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (the
―PSE‖). The trading symbol of the Company shall be ―CNPF‖. See ―Plan of Distribution‖.
The Offer Shares shall be offered at a price of ₱13.75 per Offer Share (the ―Offer Price‖). The
determination of the Offer Price is further discussed on page 64 of this Prospectus and was
determined through a book-building process, as well as discussions between the Company and
BDO Capital & Investment Corporation (―BDO Capital‖), BPI Capital Corporation (―BPI
Capital‖), and First Metro Investment Corporation (―First Metro‖), collectively, the ―Joint Issue
Managers, Joint Lead Underwriters, and Joint Bookrunners‖ or simply, the ―Joint Lead
Underwriters‖. A total of 2,229,654,404 Common Shares will be outstanding after the Offer. The
Offer Shares will comprise up to 10.30% of the outstanding Common Shares after the Offer.
Pursuant to its amended articles of incorporation, the Company has an authorized amount of
capital stock of ₱6,000,000,000.00 divided into 6,000,000,000 Common Shares with a par value
of ₱1.00 per share, of which 2,000,000,000 Common Shares are outstanding as of the date of this
Prospectus. The Offer Shares shall be Common Shares of the Company.
The Company will be listed on the Main Board of the PSE. As a newly incorporated company,
CNPF will be relying on the track record of its wholly owned subsidiaries, General Tuna Corp.
(―GTC‖) and Snow Mountain Dairy Corp. (―SMDC‖). In this respect, both GTC and SMDC,
satisfy the requirements of the PSE Revised Listing Rules i.e., that such subsidiary (i) must have a
cumulative consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(―EBITDA‖), excluding non-recurring items, of at least ₱50 million for three full fiscal years
immediately preceding the application for listing, (ii) a minimum EBITDA of ₱10 million for
each of the three fiscal years, and (iii) must further be engaged in materially the same businesses
and must have a proven track record of management throughout the last three years prior to the
filing of the application. With SMDC‘s EBITDA of approximately ₱27 million, ₱39 million and
₱68 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively and GTC‘s EBITDA of approximately ₱269
million, ₱299 million and ₱336 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, CNPF‘s
subsidiaries are in full compliance with the financial requirements. Moreover, GTC and SMDC
have both been in existence and operating since 1997 and 2001, respectively and have had a
proven track record of management since then. The PSE Revised Listing Rules prohibit CNPF
from divesting its shareholdings in GTC and SMDC for a period of three years from the date the
Offer Shares are listed on the PSE; provided that the prohibition shall not apply if the divestment
is approved by a majority of CNPF‘s shareholders.
ii
The total proceeds to be raised by the Company from the sale of the Offer Shares will be
approximately ₱3,157.8 million. The estimated net proceeds to be raised by the Company from
the sale of the Offer Shares (after deducting estimated fees and expenses payable by the Company
of approximately ₱266.5 million) will be approximately ₱2,891.3 million. The Company intends
to use the proceeds it receives from the Offer for payment of financial obligations, capital
expenditures to increase production capacity and cost efficiency, working capital and/or potential
acquisitions. For a more detailed discussion on the proceeds from the Offer and the Company‘s
proposed use of proceeds, please see ―Use of Proceeds‖ beginning on page 55 of this Prospectus.
The Joint Lead Underwriters (as defined below) will receive a transaction fee from the Company
equivalent to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offer Shares. These are inclusive of
the amounts to be paid to other participating underwriters and selling agents and exclusive of the
amounts to be paid to the PSE Trading Participants, where applicable. For a more detailed
discussion on the fees to be received by the Joint Lead Underwriters, please see ―Plan of
Distribution‖ beginning on page 59 of this Prospectus.
Each holder of Common Shares will be entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the
Company‘s Board of Directors (the ―Board‖ or ―Board of Directors‖), provided that any share
dividends declaration requires the approval of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of its total
―outstanding capital stock.‖ The Corporation Code of the Philippines, Batas Pambansa Blg. 68
(the ―Philippine Corporation Code‖), has defined ―outstanding capital stock‖ as the total shares of
stock (―Shares‖) issued to subscribers or stockholders, whether paid in full or not, except for
treasury shares. Dividends may be declared only from the Company‘s unrestricted retained
earnings. The Company has approved a dividend policy of maintaining an annual cash and/or
share dividend pay-out of up to 30% of its net income from the preceding year, subject to the
requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the terms and conditions of its outstanding bonds
and loan facilities, and the absence of circumstances that may restrict the payment of such
dividends, such as where the Company undertakes major projects and developments. The
Company‘s Board may, at any time, modify the Company‘s dividend policy depending upon the
Company‘s capital expenditure plans and/or any terms of financing facilities entered into to fund
its current and future operations and projects. The Company can give no assurance that it will pay
any dividends in the future. See ―Dividends and Dividend Policy‖.
45,930,800 Offer Shares (or 20% of the Offer Shares) are being offered to all of the trading
participants of the PSE (the ―PSE Trading Participants‖) and 22,965,400 Offer Shares (or 10% of
the Offer Shares) are being offered to local small investors (the ―Local Small Investors‖ or
―LSIs‖) in the Philippines. The remaining 160,758,204 Offer Shares (or 70% of the Offer Shares)
are being offered by the Joint Lead Underwriters to the Qualified Institutional Buyers (the
―QIBs‖) and to the general public. Prior to the closing of the Offer, any Offer Shares not taken up
by the PSE Trading Participants and Local Small Investors shall be distributed by the Joint Lead
Underwriters to their clients or to the general public. The Joint Lead Underwriters firmly
underwrite any shares left unsubscribed after the Offer. For a more detailed discussion of the
underwriting commitment of the Joint Lead Underwriters, see ―Plan of Distribution‖ on page 59
of this Prospectus.
All of the Common Shares to be sold pursuant to the Offer have identical rights and privileges.
The Common Shares may be owned by any person or entity regardless of citizenship or
nationality, subject to the nationality limits under Philippine law. The Philippine Constitution and
related statutes set forth restrictions on foreign ownership for companies engaged in certain
activities. The Company currently does not own any land in the Philippines but if the Company
iii
acquires land in the future, its foreign shareholdings may not exceed 40% of its issued and
outstanding voting capital shares. See ―Philippine Foreign Exchange and Foreign Ownership
Controls‖.
Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risks associated
with an investment in the Common Shares. These risks include:
1. Risks relating to the Company’s business
CNPF‘s financial performance may be materially and adversely affected by fluctuations
in prices or disruption in the supply of key raw materials;
CNPF‘s sales growth depends on successful introduction of new products and new
product extensions, which is subject to consumer preference and other market factors at
the time of introduction;
Actual or alleged contamination or deterioration of, or safety concerns about, CNPF‘s
food products or similar products produced by third parties could give rise to product
liability claims and harm CNPF‘s reputation;
Competition in CNPF‘s businesses may adversely affect its financial condition and results
of operations;
CNPF relies on the strength of its brands;
Consolidation of distribution channels in the Philippines may adversely affect CNPF‘s
financial condition and results of operations;
CNPF relies on key suppliers for certain raw materials and the failure by such suppliers to
adhere to and perform contractual obligations may adversely affect CNPF‘s business and
results of operations;
CNPF has a limited history as a separate entity;
CNPF generally does not have long-term contracts with its customers, and it is subject to
uncertainties and variability in demand and product mix;
CNPF is exposed to the credit risks of its customers, and delays or defaults in payment by
its customers could have a material adverse effect on CNPF‘s financial condition, results
of operations and liquidity;
Any infringement or failure to protect CNPF‘s trademarks and proprietary rights could
materially and adversely affects its business;
CNPF‘s strategy of growth, including acquisitions, entering new product categories and
international expansion, may not always be successful or may entail significant costs,
which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations;
CNPF may be subject to labor unrest, slowdowns and increased wage costs;
CNPF is effectively controlled by the Po family and their interests may differ from the
interests of other shareholders;
CNPF‘s international operations may present operating, financial and legal challenges,
particularly in countries where CNPF has little or no experience;
CNPF‘s existing insurance policies and self-insurance measures may not be sufficient to
cover the full extent of any losses;
CNPF‘s businesses and operations are substantially dependent upon key executives; and
Problems may develop among partners of joint ventures operated by CNPF, which may
result in disruptions to these businesses.
iv
2. Risks relating to the Philippines
The substantial majority of CNPF‘s income is derived from sales in the Philippines and,
therefore, a slowdown in economic growth in the Philippines could materially adversely
affect CNPF‘s financial condition and results of operation;
A decline in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies would
increase many of CNPF‘s costs; and
Any political instability or acts of terrorism in the Philippines may adversely affect
CNPF.
3. Risks relating to the Offer and the Offer Shares
The Offer Shares may not be suitable investments for all investors;
There can be no guarantee that the Offer Shares will be listed on the PSE;
There has been no prior market for the Common Shares, so there may be no liquidity in
the market for the Offer Shares and the price of the Offer Shares may fall;
The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile, which could cause the value of
investors‘ investments in the Company to decline;
Future sales of Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of the Common Shares and Shareholders may experience dilution in their
holdings;
Investors may incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of purchasing Offer
Shares; and
The Company may be unable to pay dividends on the Common Shares.

SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and is subject to, the more detailed information
presented in this Prospectus, including the Company’s pro forma consolidated financial statements and
related notes included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Capitalized terms not defined in this summary are
defined in the ―Glossary of Terms,‖ ―Risk Factors,‖ ―Business‖ or elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Overview
CNPF traces its history from the Century Group, a leading branded food company primarily
engaged in the development, processing, marketing and distribution of processed fish and
meat, as well as processed dairy products in the Philippines.
In October 2013, the Century Group began to undertake a general corporate reorganization
transaction. Prior to the corporate restructuring, the company‘s businesses were operated by
different companies:
Seafood
Century Canning Corporation (―CCC‖) incorporated on December 12, 1978 handled the
Group‘s sales and distribution for canned and processed tuna, sardines and bangus. Products
are marketed under 555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna. Columbus Seafood
Corporation (―CSC‖), incorporated on December 20, 1994, operated the manufacturing plant
for the sardines. General Tuna Corporation (―GTC‖), incorporated on March 10, 1997,
operated the tuna processing both for local and export sales.
Meat
The Pacific Meat Company, Inc. (―PMCI‖), incorporated on June 28, 1994, manufactured
canned and frozen processed meat under the brand names Argentina, Swift and 555.
Dairy
Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation (―SMDC‖), incorporated on February 14, 2001, handles
the dairy and sinigang mixes under the brands of Birch Tree, Angel, Home Pride and Kaffe de
Oro.
In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, the business operations of CCC,
CSC and PMCI were folded into CNPF, the listing vehicle. The business operations of CCC
and CSC were folded into CNPF under the canned and processed fish segment. The canned
meat business operations of PMCI were folded into CNPF under the canned meat segment.
SMDC, handling the dairy and mixes segment, and GTC, handling the private label canned,
pouched and frozen tuna products for export, were retained as separate corporate entities as
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF. As a result, the pro forma financial statements of CNPF
are a product of the combination of the businesses of CCC, PMCI, CSC, GTC and SMDC.
With this operating history spanning the last 35 years, CNPF has established a strong brand
and product portfolio through, and supported by, continuous product innovation and
acquisition of brands from third parties. Its brands are well-recognized in the Philippines and
include 555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna, Argentina and Swift for canned
meats and Angel and Birch Tree for canned and powdered milk. CNPF was the largest
producer of canned foods in the Philippines in terms of retail value according to Euromonitor
data for February 2013. The quality of CNPF‘s products has been recognized by numerous
8
consumer and industry association awards. For example, Century Tuna received the Trusted
Brand Award from Reader‘s Digest in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and Argentina Corned Beef
received the same award in 2012 and 2013. As of December 31, 2013, CNPF offered 283
products which can be found in 3,772 modern retail outlets, approximately 225,168 directly
served general trade outlets and 330,749 indirectly served points of sale, totaling over
559,689 points of sale throughout the Philippines.
CNPF operates five production facilities and distributes its products through 14 distribution
centers strategically located across the Philippines. CNPF distributes its products directly to
retailers, as well as through third-party distributors. As at December 31, 2013, CNPF
maintained 200 manufacturer direct-to-retail accounts reaching 3,772 retail outlets in the
Philippines. In addition, as at December 31, 2013, CNPF held distribution agreements with 39
distributors, reaching approximately 225,168 retail outlets ranging from supermarkets to sari-
sari stores. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2013, CNPF exports both private label and
branded products, which are distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and
the Middle East.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, CNPF‘s net revenue was ₱19,023 million. CNPF‘s
net profit after tax for the same period was ₱743.9 million.
Business Segments
CNPF‘s business operations are divided into four main business segments: canned and
processed fish, canned meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export.
The canned and processed fish segment produces a variety of tuna, sardine and other fish and
seafood-based products. CNPF‘s key brands in the canned and processed fish segment include
Century Tuna, 555, Blue Bay and Fresca.
The canned meat segment produces corned beef, meatloaf and a variety of other meat-based
products. Key brands in this segment include Argentina, Wow and Swift.
The dairy and mixes segment primarily comprises canned milk, powdered milk and other
dairy products, as well as coffee mixes and sinigang mix. Key brands include Angel, Birch
Tree, Kaffe de Oro and Home Pride.
CNPF also produces private label canned, pouched and frozen tuna products for export to
major overseas markets including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle
East. In addition, CNPF‘s branded products are also exported to overseas markets and are

Competitive Strengths
The Company believes that the following are its key business strengths:
Established market leadership positions with iconic, well-recognized and trusted brands
The Company is the largest producer of canned foods in the Philippines in terms of retail
value according to Euromonitor data for February 2013. In addition, the Company‘s brands
have established market-leading positions within each of their respective segments. For
example, based on data from AC Nielsen, in 2012, the Company was the market leader in the
Philippines in domestic canned tuna, with a market share of 87% by sales. In addition, based
on AC Nielsen data as of August 2013, the Company was the market leader in corned beef
with a market share of 42.5% by sales and the market leader in meat loaf with a market share
of 25.6% by sales.
Several of the Company‘s brands have a long heritage and are well-recognized and trusted
brands in the Philippines. The Company believes that customers associate its brands with
health and quality. Such brands include Century Tuna which was launched in 1986, Argentina
Corned Beef which was launched in 1995 and Angel which was launched in 2002. The
Company has also grown its brand portfolio through brand acquisitions, including the
acquisition of Blue Bay in 2001, Birch Tree in 2003, Kaffe de Oro and Home Pride in 2008
and Swift in 2012. As a result of the heritage and strength of the Company‘s brands as well as
their high standards of quality, the Company has won a number of industry, consumer and
marketing awards including the Agora Awards‘ Marketing Company of the Year Award for
Century Canning Corporation (2011) and the Trusted Brand Award by Reader‘s Digest for
Century Tuna (2011, 2012 and 2013) and Argentina Corned Beef (2012 and 2013).
The Company continues to enhance brand recognition among consumers by consistently
maintaining high product quality, as well as through active and targeted marketing and
promotional campaigns such as using well-recognized celebrities to endorse its products. The
Company believes that its well-recognized brands have allowed it to develop strong customer
loyalty resulting in repeat purchases that provide it with greater pricing power relative to its
competitors.
Furthermore, the Company believes that the established reputations and market-leading
positions of its brands provide a strong platform to maintain and grow its market shares
through new products, product line extensions and expansion of its distribution networks.
Multi-category, multi-brand product portfolio catering to different customer tastes and
price points
The Company has a diverse product portfolio with multiple product lines across fish, meats
and dairy. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a portfolio comprising 128 SKUs for
12
tuna products, 101 SKUs for canned meat products, 25 SKUs for sardine products and 29
SKUs for dairy and mixes products. The Company produces numerous product variants to
cater to different customer tastes. For example, the Company produces chicken, pork and
tuna-based vienna sausages to capture the full range of consumer preferences for this product.
In addition, the Company packages its products in different sizes to target different customer
price points. This diverse product portfolio allows it to capture a larger share of the
consumers' wallets and provides broader avenues for future growth, both within and across its
key product categories. In addition, this also reduces its dependence on any single product
category or brand, and makes the Company more resilient to changes in the competitive
landscape or price fluctuations in raw material that may impact one product category more
than another.
In addition, leveraging on the Company's strong reputation and recognition for product
quality, the Company has also developed a multi-brand strategy within each product segment
that allows it to broaden its reach to customers more easily than its competitors. Within each
of its product segments, the Company offers a wide portfolio of brands and products to meet a
diverse range of consumer tastes, preferences and price points allowing for a comprehensive
coverage of the Filipino consumer market. For example, in the canned tuna segment, the
Century Tuna brand targets the up-market canned tuna consumer whereas the 555 Tuna brand
is aimed at the budget or cost-conscious canned tuna consumer. This allows the Company to
broaden its customer base and capture the benefits from growth in disposable income from a
larger proportion of the population. In addition, this segmentation allows the Company to
target consumers in different regions with different demographics with the right brand, as
well as react quickly and opportunistically to changes in consumer preferences and to act
defensively against any action by competitors.
The Company‘s diverse product portfolio also provides marketing and product synergies
across segments. For example, product recipes and formulations achieved through internal
research and development are shared across product segments. In addition, international best
practices implemented in the tuna export segment are shared across the Company‘s various
production lines, improving production processes and enhancing product quality.
Strong track record of product innovation and successful introduction of new products
Product innovation and development has been an important element in the Company‘s
business strategy and has been crucial to the Company‘s success. The Company has
demonstrated strong innovative capabilities as shown by its consistent track record of
launching new products to address changing consumer needs and preferences. For example,
the Company differentiates its products from plain canned tuna/meat by developing new
flavors and dishes that are designed and packaged as ready-to-eat meals. In particular, the
Company‘s ready-to-eat dishes use tuna as the main ingredient in traditionally beef, pork and
13
chicken-based dishes such as kaldereta, adobo and afritada to increase consumers‘ acceptance
of the product while providing consumers with a healthier alternative. In the dairy segment,
the Company has successfully introduced two-in-one products such as Angel Kremdensada (a
combination of all-purpose cream and condensed milk) and Angel KremQueso (a combination
of all-purpose cream and cheese) to provide convenient and cost-effective options for
consumers. In addition to innovative products, the Company has noticed a shift in preference
from canned products to flexible packaging or products sealed in pouches. In response, the
Company has started to produce pouched tuna products.
Furthermore, the Company has a strong ability to bring its products to the market using
innovative marketing strategies. The Company‘s marketing campaigns are jointly developed
between its highly experienced in-house marketing team and independent creative agencies.
The Company employs the use of celebrity endorsements in its marketing strategies to link
each product to the intended branding message. Over the years the Company has launched
numerous successful marketing campaigns, including a focused marketing campaign for
Argentina Corned Beef, which became the leading brand in its segment. The Company views
its ability to market its products as a critical success factor and invests heavily in advertising
and endorsements. The Company‘s ability to develop new products and successfully bring
them to the market allows the Company to further segment each product category and tailor it
to consumers‘ tastes and preferences, preventing product commoditization.
Extensive market penetration through multi-channel distribution network
The Company operates and manages one of the most extensive distribution networks across
the Philippines, with its products available in every major city, creating a significant
competitive advantage.
14
The Company has developed strong relationships directly with retailers, including modern
and general trade stores, as well as through third-party distributors. Approximately 58% of the
Company‘s distribution is through modern trade and approximately 42% is through general
trade. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s modern trade coverage holds 200 direct
accounts and 3,772 outlets, comprising national retail chains with outlets across the
Philippines, such as Robinsons Supermarkets, SM Supermarkets, Metro department stores,
Puregold and 7-Eleven, as well as regional retailers. The Company‘s general trade coverage
has grown significantly from approximately 70,000 outlets in 2010 to approximately 225,168
outlets including sari-sari stores, wet markets, wholesalers and regional supermarkets in
2013. The Company operates 14 distribution centers, allowing the Company to respond
quickly to changes in customer demand.
In addition, the Company employs its own sales and distribution force consisting of
approximately 159 personnel, including sales administration and support functions. The
Company believes that employing a majority of its sales force in-house has resulted in a
relatively higher level of motivation and incentivization among its employees that has
contributed to the strong growth in the sales of the Company‘s products. This arrangement
15
also enables the Company to work closely with its customers and develop strong relationships
with them. The Company continually seeks ways to expand the reach of its distribution
network, especially in the Mindanao and Visayas regions. The Company believes that its
multi-channel distribution network and its strong relationships with customers has allowed it
to maximize customer reach and has been one of the key factors to its success in building and
developing its market-leading positions.
CNPF‘s extensive distribution network is supported by its strategically located production
facilities. The Company‘s tuna processing facility, with an installed capacity of 360 MT per
day as of December 31, 2013, is located in General Santos, Mindanao, which is the heart of
the Philippine tuna industry as it is geographically adjacent to two large tuna fishing grounds,
the Western Pacific Ocean and the waters between Southern Philippines and Indonesia. In
addition, one of the Company‘s sardine processing facilities, with an installed capacity of 200
MT per day as of December 31, 2013, is located in Zamboanga, which is the center of the
Philippine sardine industry. The proximity to the source of supply ensures the availability of
fresh fish, a critical element in maintaining a high quality product and lowering the
Company‘s logistics costs. The Company‘s meat processing plant and milk and mixes plant,
located in Laguna and Taguig, respectively, are also strategically located close to major
markets, which reduces the cost of transporting products to customers. The Company‘s meat
processing plant has an installed capacity of 194 MT per day as of December 31, 2013 while
the Company‘s milk and mixes plant has an installed capacity of 11,000 cases per day as of
December 31, 2013.
Highly scalable export business that supplies processed tuna to leading international
companies and distributes branded products to high growth markets
The Company‘s export business, comprising private label processed tuna as well as branded
products, is complementary to its domestic business as it helps increase scale and reduce
costs, increasing the Company‘s competitiveness. An additional benefit of the scalability of
the export business is that it allows the export business to focus on quality and achieve higher
margins.
The Company has developed a reputation in the international food manufacturing community
as a reliable and trusted partner. It has supplied some of the largest food manufacturers
globally, including Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee Foods LLC, Subway, Princes, Rio Mare,
Hagoromo, Hoko and California Garden. The Company is constantly looking to enter into
additional agreements with potential partners. The Company believes that supplying leading
global food manufacturers in some of the most stringently regulated markets in the world
represents an endorsement of the quality of the Company‘s products.
The Company currently supplies to brands and retailers in five continents and covers major
markets including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and the Middle East, broken
down as follows:
2013 2012 2011
% of total exports
North America 7% 12% 38%
Europe 44% 16% 16%
Asia and Australia 49% 67% 40%
Middle East 0% 5% 6%
16
The Company was the leading Philippine exporter of canned tuna and frozen tuna loin
products for the year ended December 31, 2013, with a market share of 34% according to data
from the Philippine Bureau of Customs (the ―BOC‖).
The Company also distributes its branded products internationally, particularly to China and
Vietnam, through its affiliates. Century International (China) Company Limited and Century
Shanghai Trading Company, joint ventures between CCC and Thai Union Manufacturing
Company, Ltd., as well as Century Pacific Vietnam Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
CCC, have headquarters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Vietnam, respectively. These offices
distribute the Company‘s branded products to major cities in the region. The Company‘s
products are carried by retailers such as Carrefour, Walmart, Tesco Hymall, Metro and
Auchan, among others. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s private label and branded
products are distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
CNPF has earned a number of international accreditations for food safety and quality. CNPF
has been accredited by the US FDA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the British Retail
Consortium, the European Union, the Orthodox Union and the Islamic Dawah Council. In
addition, all of CNPF‘s processing facilities apply the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Points (the ―HACCP‖) plan, a management system which addresses food safety through the
analysis and control of biological, chemical and physical hazards from raw material
production, procurement and handling to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the
finished product
Experienced and dedicated management team
The Company is led by an experienced and dedicated management team with a proven track
record of success. Members of the senior management team have an average of over 25 years
of industry experience, including experience working in large, multinational corporations in
the food industry. The management team is well accustomed to the Philippine operating
environment and has effectively managed the Company both in times of strong economic
growth as well as through periods of economic downturn and political instability. The
strength and depth of the experience of the Company‘s management team have been
demonstrated by their successful implementation of a range of efficiency programs and
product innovations, which has resulted in continued profitability and market leadership for
the Company over the years. In addition, management team has a proven track record of
turning previously under-promoted and neglected brands, such as Birch Tree and Blue Bay,
into successful brands by applying the Company‘s strategies, such as proper branding and
extensive national distribution coverage.
The Company believes that members of its management team are highly regarded in the
industry, and they hold a variety of leadership positions in food industry organizations, such
as the Sardine Association of the Philippines, the Philippine Association of Meat Processors
Inc., the Tuna Canners‘ Association of the Philippines. The management team‘s industry
leadership positions also create a valuable local business network for the Company.
Strategies
The Company seeks to strengthen its leading market position in the Philippines and expand its
business operations by implementing the following business strategies:
17
Actively develop and manage product and brand portfolios to target different price
points and respond to emerging market trends
The Company has a history of driving growth through new and innovative products,
capitalizing on emerging market trends and introducing extensions of successful product
lines. The Company will continue growing its existing product categories and deliver
innovative products under trusted brands and the Company is committed to developing and
expanding its product categories to meet evolving consumer tastes and preferences. In
addition, the Company will continue to market different brands to target different consumer
price points. For example, the Company believes that there are growth opportunities in the
canned meat market and plans to target the premium segment through the development of the
Swift brand.
The Company also intends to continuously review its product offerings to rationalize
unprofitable products from its portfolio. To enhance the stability of its revenue stream and
profit margins, the Company plans to increase the percentage of sales of products that have
performed well and which the Company believes will continue to do so. For example, as
Philippine consumers have become more health conscious, the Company‘s marketing strategy
has evolved to highlight the health benefits of Century Tuna and to present the Company‘s
ready-to-eat tuna viands as healthier alternatives to traditional beef, pork and chicken-based
dishes. The Company has also noticed a shift in consumer preference from canned products to
products in sealed pouches or flexible packaging. The Company has pre-empted this shift in
preference and has developed the capability to produce pouched products. The Company
intends to increase its product offerings in pouched or flexible packaging, which the
Company believes will develop new product segments and further penetrate the ready-to-eat
meal segment.
In addition, the Company is ranked second in the Philippine condensed/evaporated milk
market and third in the Philippine all-purpose cream segment, according to AC Nielsen. The
Company sees a strong growth opportunity for the dairy market and has developed various
initiatives to grow its dairy business. For example, the Company has responded to changing
consumer preferences and plans to develop ready-to-drink products. The Company also plans
to continue aggressively promoting the Angel and Birch Tree brands through marketing
campaigns within the next two years. In particular, the Company plans to grow the Angel
brand through improved formulations, smaller packaging sizes for more budget-conscious
consumers and achieving a market leading position in the two-in-one product platform for
canned milk and cream. For the Birch Tree brand, the Company intends to expand into adult
and children‘s milk segments through powdered milk, flavored milk drinks and other product
formats.
Expand distribution network to capitalize on growing retail segments and target
customers in high growth segments
The Company plans to capitalize on rapidly growing retail segments such as 24-hour
convenience trade and modern trade channels, and to expand its distribution network,
targeting to reach 250,000 directly served points of sale in 2014. In particular, the Company
plans to expand its distribution network in the Philippines by increasing the number of retail
outlets that its regional sales force services directly. At the same time, the Company is
working with its distributors to increase its penetration of general trade outlets, particularly in
more remote areas such as Mindanao and the Visayas. In addition, there are regions in the
Philippines such as Central Visayas where the Company is not the market leader due the
incumbency of regional market leaders. However, the Company believes that with sustained
presence through a well-developed distribution network in those regions, the Company will
18
be able to gain market share in those areas. The Company believes that the Philippine market
is still underserved in certain product categories and there are growth opportunities to
improve its distribution network. The Company plans to penetrate these underserved areas by
reaching out to a greater number of smaller informal retailers such as sari-sari stores and wet
markets.
Another area the Company has identified as a growth avenue is the food service segment.
While sales to food service customers, such as, but not limited to, Jollibee, KFC, Starbucks
and 7-Eleven, contributed less than 3% of the Company‘s total revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2013, the Company believes there are significant opportunities to work closely
with customers and expand existing relationships, as well as establish relationships with a
wider range of customers in this segment. The Company understands the needs of its food
service customers and proactively suggests new products or recipes suited for such
customers‘ business. As its food service customers continue to expand their business, the
Company intends to further collaborate with such customers and increase its sales in this
segment.
Enter into new product categories
In addition to growing and developing its existing product and brand portfolio, the Company
plans to enter into new product categories. The Company believes its competitive strengths
and deep understanding of the Philippine market provide significant advantages when
entering into new product categories. In 2014, the Company plans to start marketing and
distributing beverage products, such as coconut water, by leveraging on the Company‘s
extensive distribution network and experienced sales and marketing personnel. The
Company‘s marketing strategy will highlight the health benefits of these beverage products in
line with the Company‘s health and wellness theme and will enable the Company to penetrate
new product categories.
The Company also entered into a distribution agreement with Kapal Api of Indonesia in
November 16, 2012 to distribute Kapal Api‘s coffee products in the Philippines. Kapal Api is
an Indonesian company engaged in, among others, the operation of a coffee plantation, the
production of non-dairy creamer, the production of espresso machines, and the distribution of
coffee and coffee products.
Optimize export business to further penetrate the private label export market and
increase presence of branded products in overseas markets
As the current leading tuna exporter in the Philippines, the Company is well positioned to
increase its market share in the export business. The Company intends to increase the number
of partners for its private label export business in order to gain greater scale and better
capitalize on economies of scale. The Company believes this should further improve profit
margins of its export business.
The Company currently distributes its branded products across North America, Europe, Asia,
Australia, and the Middle East. The Company has noticed increasing brand awareness among
Filipino communities around the world and similar demands from Latino communities. While
overseas Filipino communities were the initial target customer base for its branded exports,
the Company has seen growing demand for its products in mainstream markets as the
Company continues to build the presence of its branded products in overseas markets. The
Company intends to capitalize on this trend and has started to sell its branded products to
Walmart, Albertsons and Kroger in the US, as well as negotiate with other retailers to have its
products sold in Asian food sections of their stores. The Company plans to enter into
19
distribution agreements with several other large retailers in North America likely within the
next 12 months.
Opportunistic acquisition and development of strong regional brands
The Company has a proven track record of turning previously under-promoted and neglected
brands into market leading brands by applying its strategies, such as proper marketing and
extensive national distribution coverage. For example, Birch Tree was a strong brand in the
Philippines in the 1970s but lost significant market share as it did not receive marketing
support for many years prior to the Company‘s acquisition of the brand in 2003. After
acquiring the brand, the Company initially relied on its distribution network to increase the
penetration of Birch Tree products in modern and general trade outlets. The Company then
supported the brand through a strategic marketing campaign. Through the Company‘s efforts,
the Birch Tree brand was able to grow to 22.0% market share in the full cream milk powder
segment as of July 2011, according to AC Nielsen. The Company will continue to seize
acquisition opportunities and acquire brands opportunistically to penetrate new market
segments. Examples include the Century Group‘s recent acquisition of Swift from RFM
Corporation in 2012, which allowed the Century Group to compete in the premium canned
meats segment, and the Century Group‘s acquisition of the Home Pride and Kaffe De Oro
brands in 2008.
Cost improvements through backward integration, streamlined logistics and cost-
engineering
The Company is focused on increasing the efficiency of its existing operations and
implementing targeted cost-saving initiatives in its businesses. In particular, the Company
intends to implement cost improvements through backward integration. The Company
sources the majority of its requirements from third-party suppliers. However, the Company
will be building a second tin can manufacturing facility which, upon completion by the end of
2014, is expected to produce approximately 25% to 30% of the Company‘s tin can
requirements. By producing a significant portion of its tin can requirements internally, the
Company will be able to improve its profit margins by sourcing the tin cans at cost and
reducing logistics costs associated with purchasing from third-party suppliers.
In addition, the Company‘s research and development team is an integral part of the
continued effort to identify cost improvements while maintaining high product quality
standards. For example, the Company‘s research and development team has been able to
increase the use of alternative raw materials, such as soy-based proteins, to lower production
costs for certain products. The Company estimates that research and development costs
accounts for less than 1% of its revenues.
The Company continues to periodically review and streamline its inter-island logistics
network in order to improve operational and cost efficiencies. For example, the Company
20
plans to curtail the operations of or consolidate under-utilized depots and warehouses thereby
reducing costs while maintaining appropriate service coverage. The Company is also able to
leverage on its economies of scale to further rationalize its production and distribution costs.
Realizing savings through cost reduction initiatives will improve the Company‘s profit
margins and enable the Company to continue growing its portfolios of brands and products.

Eligible Investors ............................... The Offer Shares may be purchased by any natural

residing in and organized under the laws of the

capital expenditures to increase production capacity
and cost efficiency, working capital and/or potential
acquisitions. See ―Use of Proceeds‖ for additional
details of how the total net proceeds are expected to
be applied.

Offer Shares, and thereafter, in multiples of 100
Offer Shares. Applications for multiples of any
other number of Shares may be rejected or adjusted
to conform to the required multiple, at the
Company‘s discretion.
Lock-up............................................... The PSE rules require an applicant company to
cause its existing shareholders owning at least 10%
of the outstanding shares of the company not to sell,
assign or in any manner dispose of their shares for a
period of 365 days after the listing of the shares. A
total of 1,999,999,993 Common Shares held by
Century Canning Corporation will be subject to
such 365-day lock-up. See ―Principal
Shareholders‖ and ―Plan of Distribution—Lock-
Up‖.
In addition, if there is any issuance of shares or
securities (i.e., private placements, asset for shares
swap or a similar transaction) or instruments which
lead to issuance of shares or securities (i.e.,
convertible bonds, warrants or a similar instrument)
completed and fully paid for within 180 days prior
to the start of the offer period, and the transaction
price is lower than that of the offer price in the
initial public offering, all shares or securities availed
of shall be subject to a lock-up period of at least 365
days from full payment of the aforesaid shares or
securities. Two Common Shares, one held by
Johnip Cua and one held by Fernan Lukban (both of
whom are Independent Directors of the Company)
23
will be subject to such 365-day lock-up.
To implement this lock-up requirement, the PSE
requires the applicant company to lodge the shares
with the PDTC through a Philippine Central
Depository (―PCD‖) participant for the electronic
lock-up of the shares or to enter into an escrow
agreement with the trust department or custodian
unit of an independent and reputable financial
institution. See ―Principal Shareholders‖ and ―Plan
of Distribution—Lock-Up‖.
Listing and Trading ........................... The Company‘s application for the listing of the
Common Shares was approved by the PSE on
March 26, 2014. All of the Common Shares in issue
or to be issued, including the Offer Shares, are
expected to be listed on the PSE on or about May 6,
2014 under the symbol and company alias ―CNPF‖.
Trading of the Shares that are not subject to lock-up
is expected to commence on the same date. See
―Description of the Shares‖ on page 200 of this
Prospectus.
Dividends ............................................ The Company has approved a dividend policy of
maintaining an annual cash and/or share dividend
pay-out of up to 30% of its net income from the
preceding year, subject to the requirements of
applicable laws and regulations, the terms and
conditions of its outstanding bonds and loan
facilities, and the absence of circumstances that may
restrict the payment of such dividends, such as
where the Company undertakes major projects and
developments. Dividends must be approved by the
Board (and shareholders in case of a share dividend
declaration) and may be declared only from
unrestricted retained earnings of the Company. The
Company‘s Board may, at any time, modify the
Company‘s dividend policy depending upon the
Company‘s capital expenditure plans and/or any
terms of financing facilities entered into to fund its
current and future operations and projects. The
Company can give no assurance that it will pay any
dividends in the future. See ―Dividends and
Dividend Policy‖.
Refunds for the Offer ........................ In the event that the number of Offer Shares to be
received by an applicant, as confirmed by the Joint
Lead Underwriters, is less than the number covered
by its application, or if an application is rejected by
the Company, then the Joint Lead Underwriters
shall refund, without interest, within five banking
days from the end of the offer period, all or a
24
portion of the payment corresponding to the number
of Offer Shares wholly or partially rejected. All
refunds shall be made through the receiving agent
with whom the applicant has filed the application, at
the applicant‘s risk.
Registration and Lodgment of
Shares with PDTC.......................
The Offer Shares are required to be lodged with the
PDTC. The applicant must provide the information
required for the PDTC lodgment of the Offer
Shares. The Offer Shares will be lodged with the
PDTC at least two days prior to the Listing Date.
The applicant may request to receive share
certificates evidencing such applicant‘s investment
in the Offer Shares through his/her broker after the
Listing Date. Any expense to be incurred by such
issuance of certificates shall be borne by the
applicant.
Registration of Foreign Investments The BSP requires that investments in shares of stock
funded by inward remittance of foreign currency be
registered with the BSP if the foreign exchange
needed to service capital repatriation or dividend
remittance will be sourced from the Philippine
banking system. The registration with the BSP of all
foreign investments in the Offer Shares shall be the
responsibility of the foreign investor. See
―Philippine Foreign Exchange and Foreign
Ownership Controls‖.
Restriction on Issuance and
Disposal of Shares .......................
Existing shareholders who own an equivalent of at
least 10% of the Company‘s issued and outstanding
Common Shares after the Offer are required under
the revised listing rules of the PSE applicable to
companies applying for listing on the PSE Main
Board, not to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of
their Common Shares for a minimum of 365 days
after the Listing Date. See ―—Lock-up‖ above,
―Principal Shareholders‖, and ―Plan of
Distribution—Lock-Up‖.
Except for the issuance of Offer Shares pursuant to
the Offer or Common Shares for distribution by way
of stock dividends and certain option grants and
issuances under employee incentive schemes, the
PSE is expected to require the Company, as a
condition to the listing of the Common Shares, not
to issue new shares in capital or grant any rights to
or issue any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for, or otherwise carrying rights to
acquire or subscribe to, any shares in its capital or
enter into any arrangement or agreement whereby
any new shares or any such securities may be issued
25
for a period of 180 days after the Listing Date.

and the section entitled ―Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Offer Shares involves a number of risks. The price of securities can and does
fluctuate, and any individual security is likely to experience upward or downward movements and may
even become valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as
a result of buying and selling securities. Past performance is not indicative of future performance and
results, and there may be a large difference between the buying price and the selling price of the Offer
Shares. Investors should carefully consider all the information contained in this Prospectus, including
the risk factors described below, before deciding to invest in the Offer Shares. The occurrence of any of
the following events, or other events not currently anticipated, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and cause the market price of
the Offer Shares to decline. All or part of an investment in the Offer Shares could be lost.
The means by which the Company intends to address the risk factors discussed herein are principally
presented in this section and under the captions ―Business,‖ ―Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,‖ ―Industry,‖ and ―Board of Directors and Senior
Management—Corporate Governance‖ of this Prospectus. This risk factor discussion does not purport
to disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of investing in the Offer Shares. Investors
should undertake independent research and study the trading of securities before commencing any
trading activity. Investors should seek professional advice regarding any aspect of the securities such
as the nature of risks involved in the trading of securities, and specifically those of high-risk securities.
Investors may request publicly available information on the Common Shares and the Company from
the SEC.
The risk factors discussed in this section are of equal importance and are only separated into
categories for ease of reference.
RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS
CNPF’s financial performance may be materially and adversely affected by fluctuations
in prices or disruption in the supply of key raw materials.
CNPF‘s production operations depend upon adequate supplies of raw materials which are
procured both within and outside of the Philippines. Raw material prices are affected by a
number of factors, including but not limited to changes in the global or regional levels of
supply and demand, weather conditions, customs and import duties and government controls.
In particular, CNPF‘s primary tuna production operations are affected by the availability and
price of tuna, which is a key raw material for its canned and processed fish segment and its
tuna export segment. To ensure the sustainability of the global tuna population, various
government authorities worldwide have implemented a number of regulations, including
restrictions on fishing capacity and prohibiting the use of certain fishing methods during
certain times of the year. Such governmental regulations have impacted the global supply of
tuna, which in turn impacts tuna prices. Tuna prices have increased in recent years from an
average price of US$1,526 per ton in 2011 to US$1,954 per ton in 2012. Similarly, the
Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources imposes a three month ban on sardines
fishing from the beginning of December to the end of February as part of an effort to ensure a
sustainable domestic sardines population and to encourage responsible production of canned
sardines. The sardines fishing ban limits domestic sardines supply during the three-month
period and domestic canned sardines producers resort to alternative sources such as higher
cost imported sardines. The prices of other raw materials used in CNPF‘s principal
businesses, including tin cans, meat and milk powder, have also fluctuated from time to time.
42
Although CNPF actively monitors the availability and prices of raw materials, there can be no
assurance that raw materials will be supplied in adequate quantities or at the required quality
to meet CNPF‘s production requirements, or that these raw materials will not be subject to
significant price fluctuations in the future. CNPF may only have a limited ability to hedge
against commodity prices and any hedging activities may not be as effective as planned.
Moreover, market prices of raw materials could increase significantly and there is no
assurance that such increases can be passed on to the consumers. Any significant shortages or
material increase in the market price of key raw materials could have a material adverse effect
on CNPF‘s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Aside from actively monitoring raw materials availability and prices, it has been CNPF‘s
policy to maintain a network of specialty ingredient suppliers that develop new ingredient
substitutes to mitigate raw materials disruption of supply.
CNPF’s sales growth depends on successful introduction of new products and new
product extensions, which is subject to consumer preference and other market factors at
the time of introduction.
Competitive pressure requires CNPF to regularly introduce new products and product
extensions in order to maintain its market share. CNPF may suffer a decrease in sales if its
product portfolio does not track new dietary trends and other consumer sentiments, or
compete effectively with the pricing and product offerings of its competitors. However,
launching new products and product extensions requires significant capital expenditures to
cover advertising and promotional costs, research and development initiatives, and other
operating costs associated with the production and introduction of such products. CNPF‘s
financial condition and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected if any
product launches are unsuccessful.
The success of new products and product extensions depend on various factors, including the
availability of discretionary income, which may be tied to prices of other consumer goods, as
well as varying consumption preferences in different geographic regions. In addition, the
success of CNPF‘s new products and new product extensions may be affected by competitors‘
activities. The timing of product launches, pricing and advertising efforts of competitors may
also impact CNPF‘s sales of new products. In the past, CNPF has introduced new products
and product extensions which were unsuccessful and there can be no guarantee that CNPF
will be able to introduce new products successfully in the future. If CNPF cannot successfully
introduce new products and new product extensions, its business, financial condition and
results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
CNPF, its independent advisers, and experienced marketers continuously conduct extensive
consumer and product research to increase the likelihood of successful product launches.
Actual or alleged contamination or deterioration of, or safety concerns about, CNPF’s
food products or similar products produced by third parties could give rise to product
liability claims and harm CNPF’s reputation.
CNPF‘s success depends largely upon consumers‘ perception of the quality of its products,
and CNPF‘s business could be adversely affected by the actual or alleged contamination or
deterioration of its products, or of similar products produced by third parties. A risk of
contamination or deterioration of CNPF‘s food products exists at each stage of the production
cycle, including the purchase and delivery of perishable raw materials, the processing and
packaging of food products, the stocking and delivery of the finished products to customers,
and the storage and display of finished products at the points of final sale. In particular, CNPF
43
has little, if any, control over handling procedures once its products have been dispatched for
distribution and is, therefore, particularly vulnerable to problems in this phase. Even an
inadvertent distribution of contaminated products may constitute a violation of law and may
lead to increased risk of exposure to product liability claims, product recalls, increased
scrutiny and penalties, including injunctive relief and plant closures by regulatory authorities,
as well as adverse publicity, which could exacerbate the associated negative consumer
reaction. In addition, reports or allegations of inadequate quality control with respect to
similar food products produced by other manufacturers may negatively affect the sales of
CNPF‘s products.
If CNPF‘s food products are found, or alleged, to have suffered contamination or
deterioration, regardless of whether such products were under its control, such problems
could harm the reputation of CNPF‘s products and/or increase regulatory scrutiny, and could
have a significant impact on the sales of CNPF‘s products. While no material product liability
claim has been filed against CNPF, any such product liability claim, whether or not
successful, could damage the reputation of CNPF and its products, which may have a material
adverse effect on CNPF‘s business, financial condition and results of operations.
CNPF invests in quality control systems, procedures and organization that span the entire
supply chain to ensure product safety. All of CNPF‘s manufacturing facilities comply with
BFAD regulations and a significant majority of CNPF‘s products are manufactured from
factories that are compliant with HACCP regulations. HACCP is an internationally
recognized system of food safety and contamination prevention.
Competition in CNPF’s businesses may adversely affect its financial condition and
results of operations.
CNPF faces competition in all segments of its businesses, both in the Philippine market and in
the international markets in which it operates. The Philippine food industry in general is
highly competitive. Although the degree of competition and principal competitive factors
vary among the different product categories in which CNPF participates, CNPF believes that
key competitive factors include price, product quality, brand awareness and loyalty,
distribution network, foreign competition, proximity of distribution outlets to customers,
product extensions (such as different flavors and packaging) and the introduction of new
products.
In the Philippines, CNPF‘s competitors consist primarily of other large domestic corporations
and, in certain cases, large multinational corporations. Competition in the Philippines is
expected to increase due to the emergence of new domestic food companies and the potential
entry of major foreign food companies. Certain of CNPF‘s international and domestic
competitors may have substantially greater financial resources than CNPF. CNPF‘s tuna
export segment also faces competition overseas from both domestic and international
companies. CNPF may not be able to compete effectively against its competitors, which could
have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Despite being the leading player in their respective product categories, CNPF works toward
continuously improving its products and processes to stay competitive.
CNPF relies on the strength of its brands.
CNPF is dependent on the strength of its brands and the continued success and growth of its
business depend upon CNPF‘s ability to protect and promote its brands through marketing
and promotional efforts. If its marketing or advertising campaigns failed or were deemed to
44
be inappropriate, the goodwill built over the years by its respective brands, as well as its
business reputation, may be negatively affected. If CNPF fails to successfully protect and
promote its brands, the market perception of its products may deteriorate which may have a
material adverse effect on CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.
CNPF has a dedicated team of marketing professionals working closely with highly
competent advertising and research agencies to safeguard and enhance the Company‘s brands.
This team follows established guidelines to ensure consistency and effectiveness of
positioning and message. CNPF has received numerous marketing awards and industry
citations.
Consolidation of distribution channels in the Philippines may adversely affect CNPF’s
financial condition and results of operations.
The Philippine retail market has historically been highly fragmented among numerous small
neighborhood stores, groceries and traditional wet markets. Small neighborhood stores
service limited geographical areas and purchase relatively small quantities of CNPF‘s
products from distributors and larger supermarkets. In recent years, larger supermarket chains
and wholesale retailers have begun to gain significant market share in the Philippines.
In 2012, based on data from AC Nielsen, supermarkets were a significant distribution channel
for CNPF products, accounting for aggregate distribution of approximately 50% of canned
tuna, 32% of canned sardines, 54% of canned corned meat, 58% of canned luncheon meat,
48% of condensed and evaporated milk and 79% of full cream powdered milk sold by CNPF
during the year. See ―Business – Marketing and Distribution‖. There is a risk that CNPF‘s
business may become concentrated in fewer, larger customers, which could increase the
relative bargaining power of these customers. There is no assurance that supermarkets or one
of these larger customers will not exert downward pressure on wholesale prices of CNPF‘s
products, which could have a material adverse effect CNPF‘s business, financial condition
and results of operations.
CNPF fosters collaborative relationships with trade partners. The Company‘s scale, portfolio
of strong brands and years of relationship building allow it to have constructive and fair
agreements with customers on levels of trade investments.
CNPF relies on key suppliers for certain raw materials and the failure by such suppliers
to adhere to and perform contractual obligations may adversely affect CNPF’s business
and results of operations.
CNPF relies on key suppliers for certain raw materials. For example, CNPF purchases a
significant portion of its tin can requirements from third-party suppliers. In particular, for the
period ended December 31, 2013, CNPF sourced approximately 65% of its total tin can
requirements from a single supplier. If one or more of CNPF‘s suppliers fail to provide raw
materials in sufficient quantities or at satisfactory quality levels, CNPF‘s raw material supply
and production process could be negatively impacted. CNPF would be required to meet any
consequent supply shortfall through other suppliers whose prices may be higher than those of
CNPF‘s original suppliers. In addition, there can be no guarantee that CNPF would be able to
obtain the services of alternative suppliers or otherwise meet any consequent supply shortfall
in a timely manner or at all, which could have a material adverse impact on CNPF‘s business,
financial condition and results of operations.
45
CNPF has a policy of maintaining a sufficient inventory of key materials. In addition, the
Company maintains a network of suppliers for most critical materials to allow for sourcing
flexibility.
CNPF has a limited history as a separate entity.
Although CNPF‘s businesses have been established for some time, CNPF was incorporated
only on October 25, 2013. CNPF acquired its subsidiaries and businesses as part of the
corporate restructuring of certain of the Century Group‘s business interests. In this regard,
CNPF faces a number of risks, uncertainties and challenges relating to its ability to integrate
its various operations, develop and successfully execute its overall business strategy, retain
qualified senior management and employees and develop its own administrative and other
supporting infrastructure to replace some of the services which CCC currently provides to
CNPF‘s business segments. Failure to successfully integrate its various business operations or
develop its administrative infrastructure could have a material adverse impact on CNPF‘s
business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the pro forma consolidated financial information of CNPF for the year 2013
included elsewhere in this Prospectus are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or
financial position that would have been achieved had the corporate restructuring been
completed prior to such periods. See ― – Risks relating to presentation of information in this
Prospectus – The pro forma financial information included herein may not be indicative of
actual results‖ for further information.
Although CNPF is a new entity, it has been fully operational as an ongoing business effective
January 1, 2014 as CNPF merely took over existing facilities, employees and operations;
hence, there was no disruption in operations.
CNPF generally does not have long-term contracts with its customers, and it is subject
to uncertainties and variability in demand and product mix.
As is common in the consumer goods business, CNPF does not have long-term contracts with
its customers and, consequently, its revenues are subject to short-term variability resulting
from the seasonality of, and other fluctuations in, demand for its products. CNPF‘s customers
have no obligation to place new orders with it following the expiration of their current
obligations, and may cancel, reduce or delay orders for a variety of reasons. The level and
timing of orders placed by CNPF‘s customers may vary due to a number of factors including:
seasonality and other fluctuations in demand for CNPF‘s products;
the competitiveness of CNPF‘s selling prices in the industry;
customer satisfaction with the level of service CNPF provides; and
customers‘ inventory management.
CNPF has not experienced significant cancellations of, and reductions and delays in, its
customers‘ orders in the past.
CNPF maintains good and mutually beneficial relationships with its customers by providing
reasonable terms of sale and payment and ensuring that customers‘ needs are addressed in a
timely manner.
CNPF is exposed to the credit risks of its customers, and delays or defaults in payment
by its customers could have a material adverse effect on CNPF’s financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity.
46
CNPF is exposed to the credit risk of its customers, and defaults on material payments owed
to CNPF by customers could significantly reduce CNPF‘s operating cash flows and liquidity,
as well as have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
Some of CNPF‘s customers could also experience cash flow difficulties or become subject to
liquidation, which could in turn lead to CNPF being unable to collect payments or
experiencing long delays in collection.
CNPF‘s account receivables are typically non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-day
terms. As at December 31, 2013, over 83% of the account receivables of CNPF were due
within 30 days. There is no assurance that CNPF‘s exposure to the risk of delayed payments
from its customers or defaults in payment by its customers will not increase, or that it will not
experience losses or cash flow constraints as a result, which could have a material adverse
impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Before extending credit, CNPF conducts a systematic credit investigation of its customers.
The Company also has a policy of requiring security or collateral, in the form of bank
guarantees and letters of credit, from certain customers.
Any infringement or failure to protect CNPF’s trademarks and proprietary rights could
materially and adversely affect its business.
CNPF is a licensee of various brand names, related trademarks and other intellectual property
rights to prepare, package, advertise, distribute and sell its products, including Century Tuna,
555 Sardines, Century Quality, Blue Bay Tuna, Fresca, Argentina, 555 Carne Norte, Swift,
Wow, Lucky 7, Shanghai, Angel, Kaffe de Oro, Birch Tree and Home Pride. Maintaining the
licenses for and protection of these brands and intellectual property rights is important to
maintaining CNPF‘s distinctive corporate and market identities. If third parties sell products
that use counterfeit versions of CNPF‘s brands or otherwise look like CNPF brands,
consumers may confuse CNPF products with products that are inferior. This could negatively
impact CNPF‘s brand image and sales. Any failure to protect CNPF‘s proprietary rights may
significantly harm CNPF‘s competitive position, which, in turn, could materially and
adversely affect CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as
well as CNPF‘s reputation.
CNPF‘s licensed brands are registered and kept current in all applicable jurisdictions. While
instances of trademark infringement have been immaterial in the past, the Company will not
hesitate to prosecute any cases of trademark infringement in the future.
CNPF’s strategy of growth, including acquisitions, entering new product categories and
international expansion, may not always be successful or may entail significant costs,
which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
As part of its expansion plans, CNPF intends to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the
Philippines and internationally and may make any such acquisitions in the future if suitable
opportunities arise. This may require significant investments which may not result in
favorable returns. Acquisitions involve risks associated with unforeseen contingent risks or
latent liabilities relating to these businesses that may only become apparent after the
acquisition is finalized, such as difficulties associated with integration and management of
operations and systems, integration and retention of key personnel, co-ordination of sales and
marketing efforts and diversion of management‘s attention from other ongoing business
concerns. CNPF‘s growth will depend on its ability to manage successfully the expansion of
its operations and integrate the operations of acquired businesses. There can be no assurance
47
that any such expansion or acquisition will be a success, or that it would not present any of
the challenges described in ―— CNPF’s international operations may present operating,
financial and legal challenges, particularly in countries where CNPF has little or no
experience‖ below. If CNPF‘s growth strategy, including any third party acquisitions, is
unsuccessful, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and
adversely affected.
Over the past 15 years, CNPF has acquired and successfully integrated brands such as Blue
Bay, Birch Tree, Swift, Home Pride and Kaffe de Oro into its businesses. CNPF‘s acquisition
process involves extensive due diligence, assessment of the Company‘s ability to profitably
operate and generate a return on the price paid, as well as an evaluation of the Company‘s
ability to fund the acquisition.
CNPF also intends to expand production and distribution of its product categories
internationally. CNPF may experience losses in the expansion of its international operations if
it is unable to successfully introduce products which appeal to local customers‘ preferences
and establish relationships with reliable distributors, sales agents and wholesalers. In addition,
CNPF may be subject to higher operating costs and price constraints in overseas markets such
as China and Vietnam where CNPF has affiliate offices, which may have an adverse effect on
its operating income and profitability.
To minimize exposure and capital outlay for international expansion, CNPF initially appoints
distributors in newly entered markets. Where no suitable distributor can be appointed, the
Company may establish a sales office. Production facilities in a new territory will be
established only when a critical mass of business is already reasonably assured.
CNPF may be subject to labor unrest, slowdowns and increased wage costs.
CNPF is subject to a variety of national and local laws and regulations, including those
relating to labor. CNPF has in the past, and may in the future, be required to defend against
labor claims. While CNPF has not experienced significant labor disruptions or disputes in the
past and CNPF generally considers its labor relations to be good, there can be no assurance
that it will not experience future disruptions to its operations due to disputes or other issues
with its employees. In addition, any changes in labor laws and regulations could result in
CNPF having to incur substantial additional costs to comply with increased minimum wage
and other labor laws. Any of these events may materially and adversely affect CNPF‘s
business, financial condition and results of operations.
CNPF manages these risks by adopting policies to ensure a healthy working environment for
its employees that are at minimum in compliance with national and local laws and regulations.
CNPF is effectively controlled by the Po family and their interests may differ from the
interests of other shareholders.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Po family beneficially owns approximately 100% of the
issued share capital of CCC, which beneficially owns approximately 100% of the issued share
capital of CNPF. CCC‘s ownership of the issued share capital of CNPF would decrease to
89.7% upon consummation of the Offer. Members of the Po family also serve as CNPF‘s
directors and executive officers. As a result, the Po family effectively controls CNPF,
including CNPF‘s management, policies and business, through its ability to control actions
that require majority shareholder approval and through its representatives on CNPF‘s Board.
Furthermore, this concentration of voting power may discourage or prevent a change in
48
control or other business combinations, which could deprive investors of an opportunity to
receive a premium for the Common Shares as part of a sale of CNPF.
Members of the Po family, who either individually or collectively have controlled CNPF
since its inception, have private interests in a number of companies either alone or together
with other family members. The respective businesses or activities of these companies and of
companies that are part of the Century Group engage in certain business activities which
compete with those of CNPF. There is nothing to prevent companies that are controlled by the
Po family from engaging in activities that compete directly with CNPF‘s businesses. There
can also be no assurance that the Po family will not take advantage of business opportunities
that may otherwise be attractive to CNPF. The interests of the Po family and CCC, as CNPF‘s
controlling shareholders, may differ significantly from CNPF‘s interests or the interests of
other shareholders, and there can be no assurance that the Po family and CCC will exercise
influence over CNPF in a manner that is in the best interests of CNPF‘s other shareholders.
CNPF has significant commercial transactions with certain companies in the Century Group.
See ―Related Party Transactions‖. CNPF expects that it will continue to enter into
transactions with companies directly or indirectly controlled by or associated with CCC and
the Po family. These transactions may involve potential conflicts of interest which could be
detrimental to CNPF and/or its shareholders. There can be no assurance that CNPF‘s related
party transactions will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition
and results of operations.
CNPF has adopted a Manual of Corporate Governance that to ensure that its business,
including related party transactions, are conducted with transparency and to protect minority
investors.
CNPF’s international sales may present operating, financial and legal challenges,
particularly in countries where CNPF has little or no experience.
CNPF currently sells its products through affiliate offices in China and Vietnam, and it
intends to further expand sales in these regions. These international operations, particularly in
countries where CNPF has little or no experience, may be subject to inherent risks including
uncertain legal environments, different consumer preferences, unexpected or difficult
regulatory, licensing or administration requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers,
difficulties in training and retraining staff and managing foreign operations, potentially
adverse tax consequences and difficulties in transferring earnings to CNPF‘s operations in the
Philippines.
In addition, CNPF‘s international sales of products will be influenced, to a significant degree,
by political, economic and social developments in the countries in which it operates. CNPF is
subject to the risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of
which could adversely affect its business. These risks include but are not limited to:
general economic downturns;
currency exchange rate fluctuations or imposition of foreign exchange
controls;
governmental policies, laws or regulations, including increased protectionism
affecting import and export duties and quotas or customs and tariffs;
uncertainty regarding, or different levels of, protection of CNPF‘s intellectual
property;
49
international incidents, including war or acts of terrorism;
government instability; and
nationalization of assets.
Any adverse economic, political or social developments in the countries in which CNPF sells
its products could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
While the Company has customers across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the
Middle East, the Company‘s largest customers by volume are in developed and stable
economies of these regions.
CNPF’s existing insurance policies and self-insurance measures may not be sufficient to
cover the full extent of any losses.
CNPF may not be fully insured against, and insurance may not be available for, losses caused
by accidents, natural disasters, breakdowns or other events that could affect the facilities and
processes used by its businesses. For example, CNPF does not carry business interruption
insurance and self-insures against this risk. Any losses caused by events against which it is
not fully insured could result in a decline in production, adverse publicity, and significant
expenditure of resources to address such losses, and would have a material and adverse effect
on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any accident at CNPF‘s operations and facilities could result in significant losses. It could
suffer a decline in production, receive adverse publicity and be forced to invest significant
resources in addressing such losses, both in terms of time and money. There is no assurance
that there will not be work-related or other accidents in the future. Furthermore, there is no
assurance that amicable settlements will be secured in the event of accidents or that accidents
will not result in litigation or regulatory action against CNPF. Such events could materially
and adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
CNPF conducts a quarterly review to ensure that all insurable assets of the Company are
adequately covered at the right valuation.
CNPF’s businesses and operations are substantially dependent upon key executives.
CNPF has relied and will continue to rely significantly on the continued individual and
collective contributions of its senior management team. Some members of CNPF‘s
management are leaders or members of certain key industry associations in the Philippines,
and CNPF believes it benefits from those relationships and expertise. If any of CNPF‘s senior
management are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, or if they join a
competitor or form a competing business, CNPF may not be able to replace them easily, and
its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and
adversely affected.
To mitigate the risk of departing key managers, the Company‘s succession planning process
has identified members of management that can temporarily assume additional
responsibilities arising from departing managers until suitable successors can be recruited.
Problems may develop among partners of joint ventures operated by CNPF, which may
result in disruptions to these businesses.
50
The businesses of some of CNPF‘s subsidiaries and associates are conducted through joint
ventures of CCC, such as Century International (China) Company Limited and Century
Shanghai Trading Company, joint ventures between CCC and Thai Union Manufacturing
Company, Ltd.
Cooperation among the joint venture partners on business decisions is crucial to the sound
operation and financial success of these joint venture companies. Although CNPF believes it
good relationships are maintained with joint venture partners and there have been no instance
of major disagreements or defaults by either party on their obligations, there is no assurance
that these relationships will be sustained in the future or that problems will not develop.
CNPF hopes to mitigate this risk by conducting extensive due diligence on all prospective
business partners, fostering collaborative relationships, and ensuring that these business
partners have the same values and objectives as the Company‘s.
RISKS RELATING TO THE PHILIPPINES
The substantial majority of CNPF’s income is derived from sales in the Philippines and,
therefore, a slowdown in economic growth in the Philippines could materially adversely
affect CNPF’s financial condition and results of operation.
In the year ended December 31, 2013, CNPF‘s operations in the Philippines accounted for
69% of its net sales. Historically, results of operations have been influenced, and will
continue to be influenced, to a significant degree by the general state of the Philippine
economy. Much of the demand for CNPF‘s core product categories are directly linked to the
purchasing power of Filipino consumers and demand for these products tends to decline
during economic downturns when consumers‘ disposable incomes decline. As a result,
CNPF‘s income and results of operations depend, to a significant extent, on the performance
of the Philippine economy. In the past, the Philippines has experienced periods of slow or
negative growth, high inflation, significant devaluation of the peso and the imposition of
exchange controls.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, Philippine GDP growth rate accelerated to 7.2%,
compared to growth rate of 6.8% in the year ended December 31, 2012, and GNP growth rate
accelerated to 7.5% in the year ended December 31, 2013, from 6.5% in year ended
December 31, 2012. Any deterioration in the economic conditions in the Philippines may
adversely affect consumer sentiment and lead to a reduction in demand for CNPF‘s products.
There can be no assurance that current or future Governments will adopt economic policies
conducive to sustaining economic growth.
A decline in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies would
increase many of CNPF’s costs.
CNPF has foreign exchange exposure primarily associated with fluctuations in the value of
the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. The substantial majority of
CNPF‘s revenues are denominated in Pesos, while certain of its expenses, particularly its raw
material costs, are denominated in U.S. dollars or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars.
On the other hand,
Any future depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect CNPF‘s
business, financial condition and results of operations.
51
While Peso devaluation has a negative impact on imported materials, it positively impacts the
Company‘s export business and increases the purchasing power of Overseas Filipino Workers
(―OFW‖) families.
Any political instability or acts of terrorism in the Philippines may adversely affect
CNPF.
The Philippines has from time to time experienced political and military instability and acts of
terrorism. In the last few years, there has been political instability in the Philippines, including
impeachment proceedings against two former presidents and the chief justice of the Supreme
Court of the Philippines, public and military protests arising from alleged misconduct by
previous administrations. In addition, there is no guarantee that acts of election-related
violence will not occur in the future and such events could negatively impact the Philippine
economy. The Philippines has also been subject to a number of terrorist attacks since 2000.
The Philippine army has been in conflict with the Abu Sayyaf organization which has been
identified as being responsible for kidnapping and terrorist activities in the Philippines. An
unstable political environment, whether due to the imposition of emergency executive rule,
martial law or widespread popular demonstrations or rioting, could negatively affect the
general economic conditions and operating environment in the Philippines, which could have
a material adverse effect on CNPF‘s business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATING TO THE OFFER AND THE OFFER SHARES
The Offer Shares may not be a suitable investment for all investors.
Each prospective investor in the Offer Shares must determine the suitability of that
investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each prospective investor should:
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the
Company and its businesses, the merits and risks of investing in the Offer Shares and
the information contained in this Prospectus;
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the
context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Offer Shares and the
impact the Offer Shares will have on its overall investment portfolio;
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all the risks of an investment
in the Offer Shares, including where the currency for purchasing and receiving
dividends on the Offer Shares is different from the potential investor‘s currency;
understand and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant financial markets; and
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial advisor) possible
scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment
in the Offer Shares and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
There can be no guarantee that the Offer Shares will be listed on the PSE.
Purchasers of Offer Shares will be required to pay for such Offer Shares on the Offer
Settlement Date, which is expected to be on or about May 6, 2014. Because the Listing Date
is scheduled to occur after both the Offer Settlement Date, there can be no guarantee that
listing will occur on the anticipated Listing Date or at all. Delays in the admission and the
commencement of trading in shares on the PSE have occurred in the past. If the PSE does not
52
admit the Offer Shares onto the PSE, the market for the Offer Shares will be illiquid and
shareholders may not be able to trade the Offer Shares. This may materially and adversely
affect the value of the Offer Shares.
There has been no prior market for the Common Shares, so there may be no liquidity in
the market for the Offer Shares and the price of the Offer Shares may fall.
As there has been no prior trading in the Common Shares, there can be no assurance that an
active market for the Offer Shares will develop following the Offer or, if developed, that such
market will be sustained.
The Offer Price has been determined after taking into consideration a number of factors
including, but not limited to, the Company‘s prospects, the market prices for shares of
companies engaged in related businesses similar to the Company‘s and prevailing market
conditions. The price at which the Common Shares will trade on the PSE at any point in time
after the Offer may vary significantly from the Offer Price.
The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile, which could cause the value of
investors’ investments in the Company to decline.
The market price of securities can and does fluctuate, and it is impossible to predict whether
the price of the Common Shares will rise or fall or even lose all of its value. The market price
of Common Shares could be affected by several factors, including:
general market, political and economic conditions;
changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;
changes in market valuations of listed shares in general and other retail shares in
particular;
the market value of the assets of the Company;
changes to Government policy, legislation or regulations; and
general operational and business risks.
In addition, many of the risks described elsewhere in this Prospectus could materially and
adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.
In part as a result of the global economic downturn, the global equity markets have
experienced price and volume volatility that has affected the share prices of many companies.
Share prices for many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been
unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Fluctuations such as these may
adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.
Future sales of Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the
prevailing market price of the Common Shares and Shareholders may experience
dilution in their holdings.
In order to finance the expansion of the Company‘s business and operations, the Board will
consider the funding options available to them at the time, which may include the sale of
additional Common Shares from the treasury or the issuance of new Common Shares. If
additional funds are raised through the sale or issuance of new equity or equity-linked
securities by the Company other than on a pro rata basis to existing shareholders, the
percentage ownership of the shareholders may be reduced, shareholders may experience
53
subsequent dilution and/or such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior
to those of the Offer Shares. Further, the market price of the Common Shares could decline as
a result of future sales of substantial amounts of Common Shares in the public market or the
issuance of new Common Shares, or the perception that such sales, transfers or issuances may
occur. This could also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of the
Common Shares or the Company‘s ability to raise capital in the future at a time and at a price
it deems appropriate.
Investors may incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of purchasing Offer
Shares.
The issue price of the Common Shares in the Offer may be substantially higher than the net
tangible book value of net assets per share of the Company‘s outstanding Common Shares.
Therefore, purchasers of Offer Shares may experience immediate and substantial dilution and
the Company‘s existing shareholders may experience a material increase in the net tangible
book value of net assets per share of the Common Shares they own. See ―Dilution‖.
The Company may be unable to pay dividends on the Common Shares.
There is no assurance that the Company can or will declare dividends on the Common Shares
in the future. Future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend
upon the Company‘s future results of operations and general financial condition, capital
requirements, its ability to receive dividends and other distributions and payments from its
subsidiaries, foreign exchange rates, legal, regulatory and contractual restrictions, loan
obligations and loan covenants, including loan obligations and loan covenants of its
subsidiaries, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. See ―Dividends and Dividend
Policy‖.
RISKS RELATING TO THE PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION IN THIS
PROSPECTUS
The Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are, by their nature, subject to
significant risks and uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to known
and unknown risks; uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company‘s actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially different from expected future results;
and performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the
Company‘s present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company
will operate in the future. Important factors that could cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include,
among other things, the Company‘s ability to successfully implement its current and future
strategies, the Company‘s ability to anticipate and respond to local and regional trends, and
the Company‘s ability to successfully manage its future business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flow.
The pro forma financial information included herein may not be indicative of actual
results.
The Company has included, examined and reviewed pro forma consolidated financial
information elsewhere in this Prospectus because it believes that such information is
54
important to an investor‘s understanding of the Company‘s expected presentation of its results
of operations after the consolidation of GTC and SMDC and the Company‘s acquisition of
certain assets of CCC, PMCI and CSC. The pro forma consolidated results of operations
included herein are necessarily based on certain assumptions, including those identified in the
notes to the pro forma consolidated financial statements, and such information is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the
acquisition of these assets been completed prior to such periods, nor is it indicative of future
operating results, and should not be relied upon as being so indicative. The Company‘s pro
forma statements should also be read in conjunction with the historical performance of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC, as well as information on the Company‘s track
record of building brands into household names, solid management experience, and dominant
market shares – all of which can be found in other parts of this Prospectus.
Certain information contained herein is derived from unofficial publications.
Certain information in this Prospectus relating to the Philippines and the industries in which
the Company competes, including statistics relating to market size, is derived from various
Government and private publications. This Prospectus also contains industry information
based on publicly available third-party sources. Industry publications generally state that the
information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that the
accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Similarly, industry forecasts
and market research, including those contained or extracted herein, have not been
independently verified by the Company and may not be accurate, complete, up-to-date or
consistent with other information compiled within or outside the Philippines. Prospective
investors are cautioned accordingly.
The section of this Prospectus entitled “Industry” was not independently verified by the
Company or the Joint Lead Underwriters, and the sources therein may not be
completely independent or independent at all.
The section of this Prospectus entitled ―Industry‖ was prepared from available public sources
to provide an overview of the industries in which the Company‘s businesses operate, in
particular the canned and processed fish and meat industries and the dairy industry. The
reports cited in this section were not prepared nor independently verified by the Company or
the Joint Lead Underwriters, or any of their respective affiliates or advisors. The information
contained in this section may not be consistent with other information regarding the
Philippine canned and processed fish and meat industries and the dairy industry. This section
does not present the opinions of the Company, the Joint Lead Underwriters or any of their
respective affiliates. Much of the information set out in this section is based on estimates,
judgments, opinions and beliefs of the named sources therein and should be regarded as
indicative only and treated with the appropriate caution.
55
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offer for the payment of financial
obligations, capital expenditures to increase production capacity and cost efficiency, working
capital and/or potential acquisitions. Further details on the proposed use of proceeds are set
forth below:
Use of Proceeds
Estimated
Amounts Percentage Estimated Timing
(₱ millions)
Payment of Financial Obligations 1,290 44.6% 2nd Quarter 2014
Capital Expenditures to Increase
Production Capacity and Cost Efficiency
729 25.2% 2nd Quarter 2014
Tin Can Manufacturing Factory 457.6
Dairy and Mix Factory 132.0
Plant Improvement and Maintenance 106.5
Upgrade of IT Systems 32.9
Working Capital and/or Potential
Acquisitions
872 30.2% 2014 to 1st Quarter 2015
Estimated Net Proceeds .............................. 2,891.3 100.0%
Working Capital Requirements and/or Potential Acquisitions
The Company expects a need for additional Working Capital as more investments in accounts
receivable – trade and inventory assets are seen necessary as a result of an anticipated
upswing in sales and market share, given the Company‘s intensified marketing and sales
initiatives for its canned tuna, canned sardine, canned meat, and dairy and mixes businesses.
The Company also has a strong track record of expanding product offerings through
successful acquisitions of strong but undervalued local brands. The Company remains open to
similar opportunistic brand acquisitions, including entering into new segments and unlocking
market potentials of regional brands. The Company likewise expects to use a portion of the
net proceeds from the Offer for the potential acquisition of new brands and/or branded food
companies to penetrate new market segments. However, as of date, the Company has neither
definitively identified the targeted brands and/or branded food companies nor negotiated any
terms for acquisition with anybody.
Capital Expenditures
The Company will use a portion the net proceeds to fund capital expenditures that will
improve cost efficiencies and achieve higher profitability in the future. A major project in the
list of capital expenditure projects is the establishment of a tin can factory in General Santos
City that will effectively reduce the tin can costs for the Company‘s domestic canned tuna
production. The tin can factory's building costs ₱98 million, machinery and major equipment
cost ₱303.6 million, and lab and other miscellaneous equipment ₱56 million. The new facility
is planned to have an output capacity of at least two hundred million tin cans a year,
56
supplying between 25% to 30% of the company‘s tin can requirements, and is expected to be
completed and commercially operational by end of 2014.
The funds will also be used to complete the Company‘s new dairy and mixes plant facility
located in Taguig City. The completion of building will cost ₱52 million. Various equipment
such as mixing tanks, homogenizer, quality assurance and laboratory equipment will cost ₱80
million. The completion of this new facility is expected to further increase dairy production
from 5,500 cases per day to 11,000 cases per day.
The third major capital expenditure project would be the enhancement of the Company‘s IT
system. The Company plans to invest in (i) a demand planning software to improve the
Company‘s demand planning and forecasting and supply replenishment capabilities and (ii)
cloud hosting, disaster recovery and application management services to save on hardware
investments and maintenance expenses, ensure business continuity, and enhance IT data
security. These IT projects would enable the Company‘s management to focus on further
growing the business.
The rest of the Company‘s capital expenditures consist of various equipment replacements
and maintenance projects needed by the Company‘s business units to sustain their respective
plant capacities, efficiencies in manufacturing operations, and product quality standards.
Examples of these projects are coal-fired boiler equipment overhaul, steamer equipment
overhaul, fishmeal building and warehouse repair, and fishmeal decanter equipment
replacement, labeling and packaging equipment replacement, and replacement of sludge
pump for waste water treatment, among others.
Payments of Financial Obligations
During 2013, the Company‘s principal sources of liquidity were internally generated cash
from operations and short–term bank loans. Requirements funded by short-term bank loans
were for purchases of raw materials and inventory, working capital requirements, including
account receivables.
The Company intends to use majority of the net proceeds to settle short-term financial
obligations with Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company, Bank of the Philippine Islands, BDO
Unibank, Inc., ANZ Bank, and Security Bank Corporation. These borrowings consist of
various revolving bank promissory notes with maturity dates varying from 60 to 90 days with
interest rate of approximately 2.5% to 3.5% per annum which were incurred primarily to fund
growth in accounts receivable-trade given expanding sales revenues.

None of the proceeds shall be used to reimburse any officer, director, employee or
shareholder for services rendered, assets previously transferred, or money loaned or
advanced.
The proposed use of proceeds described above represents a best estimate of the use of the net
proceeds of the Offer based on the Company‘s current plans and expenditures. The actual
amount and timing of disbursement of the net proceeds from the Offer for the uses stated
above will depend on various factors which include, among others, changing market
conditions or new information regarding the cost or feasibility of the Company‘s expansion
plans. The Company‘s cost estimates may change as it develops its plans, and actual costs
may be different from its budgeted costs, including due to changes in the exchange rate
between the Philippine Peso and the U.S. dollar. To the extent that the net proceeds from the
Offer are not immediately applied to the above purposes, the Company will invest the net
proceeds in interest-bearing short-term demand deposits and/or money market instruments,
and/or repay existing debt. Aside from underwriting and selling fees, the Joint Lead
Underwriters will not receive any of the net proceeds from the Offer.
Based on the Offer Price of ₱13.75 per Offer Share, the total proceeds from the Offer, the
estimated total expenses for the Offer and the estimated net proceeds from the Offer will be:
Estimated
Amounts
(₱ millions)
Total proceeds from the Offer ............................................................................. 3,157.8

Underwriting and selling fees for the Offer Shares (including fees to be paid to the
Joint Lead Underwriters and PSE Trading Participants) ........................................

IPO Tax and Others ................................................................................................ 131.4
Total estimated expenses ...................................................................................... 266.5
Estimated net proceeds from the Offer .............................................................. 2,891.3
In the event of any material deviation or adjustment in the planned use of proceeds, the
Company shall inform its shareholders, the SEC and the PSE in writing at least 30 days
before such deviation or adjustment is implemented. Any material or substantial adjustments
to the use of proceeds, as indicated above, will be approved by the Company‘s Board of
Directors and disclosed to the SEC and the PSE. In addition, the Company shall submit via
the PSE‘s Electronic Disclosure Generation Technology system or PSE EDGE the following
disclosures to ensure transparency in the use of proceeds:
(i) any disbursements made in connection with the planned use of proceeds from the
Offer;
58
(ii) Quarterly Progress Report on the application of the proceeds from the Offer on or
before the first 15 days of the following quarter; the Quarterly Progress Report should
be certified by the Company‘s Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer and external
auditor;
(iii) annual summary of the application of the proceeds on or before January 31 of the
following year; the annual summary report should be certified by the Company‘s
Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer and external auditor;
(iv) approval by the Company‘s Board of Directors of any reallocation on the planned use
of proceeds, or of any change in the work program; the disbursement or
implementation of such reallocation must be disclosed by the Company at least 30
days prior to the actual disbursement or implementation; and
(v) a comprehensive report on the progress of its business plans on or before the first 15
days of the following quarter.
The quarterly and annual reports required in items (ii) and (iii) above must include a detailed
explanation of any material variances between the actual disbursements and the planned use
of proceeds in the work program or the Prospectus, if any. The detailed explanation must also
state that the Company‘s Board of Directors has given its approval as required in item (iv)
above.
The Company shall submit an external auditor‘s certification on the accuracy of the
information reported by the Company to the PSE in the Company‘s quarterly and annual
reports as required in items (ii) and (iii) above.
59
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The 229,654,404 Offer Shares shall be offered by the Company to investors, through the Joint
Lead Underwriters. The 45,930,800 Offer Shares (or 20% of the Offer Shares) are being
offered to all of the PSE Trading Participants and 22,965,400 Offer Shares (or 10% of the
Offer Shares) are being offered to the LSIs in the Philippines. The remaining 160,758,204
Offer Shares (or 70% of the Offer Shares) are being offered by the Joint Lead Underwriters to
the QIBs and to the general public. Prior to the closing of the Offer, any Offer Shares not
taken up by the PSE Trading Participants and LSIs shall be distributed by the Joint Lead
Underwriters to their clients or to the general public. In the event that there are Offer Shares
that remain unsubscribed at the end of the Offer, the Joint Lead Underwriters shall subscribe
to the balance pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement between
the Company and the Joint Lead Underwriters.
Underwriting Commitments
The Offer will be underwritten at the Offer Price and in connection therewith, an
Underwriting Agreement will be entered into on or before the commencement of the Offer,
between the Company and the Joint Lead Underwriters, whereby the Joint Lead Underwriters
agree to underwrite the 229,654,404 Offer Shares to be offered, subject to agreement between
the Joint Lead Underwriters on any clawback, clawforward or other such mechanism, on a
firm commitment basis.
The Joint Lead Underwriters have committed to underwrite the entire Offer. The amount
allocated to each Joint Lead Underwriter is as follows:
Bank Amount
(in ₱ millions )
%
BDO Capital & Investment Corp. 1,052.6 33.33
BPI Capital Corp. 1,052.6 33.33
First Metro Investment Corp. 1,052.6 33.33
Total 3,157.8 100.00
The underwriting fee is based on the final nominal amount of the Offer Shares to be issued.
There is no arrangement for the Joint Lead Underwriters to return to the Company any unsold
Offer Shares. The Underwriting Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances prior
to payment of the net proceeds of the Offer Shares being made to the Company. There is no
arrangement as well giving the Joint Lead Underwriters the right to designate or nominate

62
Lock-up
The PSE rules require an applicant company to cause its existing shareholders owning at least
10% of the outstanding shares of the Company not to sell, assign or in any manner dispose of
their shares for a period of 365 days after the listing of the shares. A total of 1,999,999,993

up.
In addition, if there is any issuance of shares or securities (i.e., private placements, asset for
shares swap or a similar transaction) or instruments which leads to issuance of shares or
securities (i.e., convertible bonds, warrants or a similar instrument) done and fully paid for
within 180 days prior to the start of the offer period, and the transaction price is lower than
that of the offer price in the initial public offering, all shares or securities availed of shall be
subject to a lock-up period of at least 365 days from full payment of the aforesaid shares or
securities. Two Common Shares, one held by Johnip Cua and one held by Fernan Lukban
(both of whom are Independent Directors of the Company) will be subject to such 365-day
lock-up.
To implement this lock-up requirement, the PSE requires the applicant company to lodge the
shares with the PDTC through a PCD participant for the electronic lock-up of the shares or to
enter into an escrow agreement with the trust department or custodian unit of an independent
and reputable financial institution. Under the PSE rules, the lock-up requirement shall be
stated in the articles of incorporation of the Company.

63
DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND POLICY
CNPF
The Company is authorized under Philippine law to declare dividends, subject to certain
requirements. The payment of dividends, either in the form of cash or shares, will depend
upon the Company‘s earnings, cash flow and financial condition, among other factors. The
Company may declare dividends only out of its unrestricted retained earnings. These
represent the net accumulated earnings of the Company with its unimpaired capital, which are
not appropriated for any other purpose. The Company may pay dividends in cash, by the
distribution of property, or by the issue of shares. Dividends paid in cash or property are
subject to the approval by the Board of Directors. Dividends paid in the form of additional
shares are subject to approval by both the Board of Directors and at least two-thirds of the
outstanding share capital of the shareholders at a shareholders‘ meeting called for such
purpose.
The Company has approved a dividend policy of maintaining an annual cash and/or share
dividend pay-out of up to 30% of its net profit from the preceding year, subject to the
requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the terms and conditions of its outstanding
bonds and loan facilities, and the absence of circumstances that may restrict the payment of
such dividends, such as where the Company undertakes major projects and developments.
Dividends must be approved by the Board (and shareholders in case of a share dividend
declaration) and may be declared only from the unrestricted retained earnings of the
Company. The Company‘s Board of Directors may, at any time, modify the Company‘s
dividend policy, depending upon the Company‘s capital expenditure plans and/or any terms
of financing facilities entered into to fund its current and future operations and projects. The
Company can give no assurance that it will pay any dividends in the future.
GTC and SMDC
The Board of Directors and the shareholders of GTC and SMDC approved a dividend policy
of maintaining an annual cash and/or share dividend pay-out of up to 70% of its net profit
from the preceding year, subject to the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the
terms and conditions of its outstanding bonds and loan facilities, and the absence of
circumstances that may restrict the payment of such dividends. Dividends must be approved
by GTC and SMDC‘s respective boards (and shareholders in case of a share dividend
declaration) and shall be declared and paid out only from GTC and SMDC‘s respective
unrestricted retained earnings. The Board of Directors of GTC and SMDC may, at any time,
modify the dividend policy depending on its evaluation of following factors:
The level of GTC and SMDC‘s cash earnings, return on equity and retained earnings
The results of business operations and financial conditions at the end of the year in
respect of which the dividends is to be paid
The expected future financial performance of GTC and SMDC
The projected level of GTC and SMDC‘s capital expenditures and other investment
and development plans
Restrictions of payment of dividends that may be imposed by any of GTC and
SMDC‘s respective financing arrangements and current and prospective debt service
requirements
Such other factors as the Board deems appropriate
64
DETERMINATION OF THE OFFER PRICE
The Offer Price has been set at ₱13.75 per Offer Share. The Offer Price was determined
through a book-building process and discussions between the Company and the Joint Lead
Underwriters. Since the Company and the Common Shares have not been listed on any stock
exchange, there is no market information for the Common Shares and there has been no
market price for the Common Shares derived from day-to-day trading.
The factors considered in determining the Offer Price are, among others, the Company‘s
ability to generate earnings and cash flow, its short and long-term prospects, the level of
demand from institutional investors, overall market conditions at the time of launch and the
market price of listed comparable companies. The Offer Price may not have any correlation to
the actual book value of the Offer Shares.
65
CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS
The following table sets out the Company‘s debt, shareholders‘ equity and capitalization as at
December 31, 2013, and as adjusted to reflect (i) the subscription by CCC to an additional
500,000,000 Common Shares on February 8, 2014 and (ii) the sale of 229,654,404 Offer
Shares at the Offer Price of ₱13.75 per Offer Share. The table should be read in conjunction
with the Company‘s pro forma financial statements and the notes thereto, included in this
Prospectus beginning on page F-1. Other than as described below, there has been no material
change in the Company‘s capitalization since December 31, 2013.

66
DILUTION
The Company will offer 229,654,404 Offer Shares to the public at the Offer Price, which will
be substantially higher than the adjusted book value per share of the outstanding Common
Shares, which will result in an immediate material dilution of the new investors‘ equity
interest in the Company. The net book value attributable to the Company‘s Common Shares,
based on the Company‘s pro forma financial statements as of December 31, 2013 was
₱2,838.7 million. After giving effect to the issuance of 500,000,000 new common shares to
CCC as disclosed in Note 31, starting on page 39 of the pro forma consolidated financial
statements, the pro forma net book value pre-Offer will be ₱3,338.7 million,1 while the net
book value per Common Share will be ₱1.67. The net book value attributable to the
Company‘s Common Shares represents the amount of the Company‘s total equity attributable
to equity holders of the Company. The Company‘s net book value per Common Share is
computed by dividing the pro forma net book value attributable to the Company‘s Common
Shares by the 2,000,000,000 pre-Offer issued and outstanding shares.2
Dilution in pro forma book value per share to investors of the Offer Shares represents the
difference between the Offer Price and the pro forma book value per share immediately
following the completion of the Offer.
After taking into account the issuance of 500,000,000 new common shares and the sale of
229,654,404 Offer Shares at the Offer Price of ₱13.75 per Offer Share and after deduction of
the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of the Offer
payable by the Company, the Company‘s pro forma book value after the Offer would
approximate ₱6,229.9 million, or ₱2.79 per Common Share. This represents an immediate
increase in net book value of ₱1.12 per Common Share to existing shareholders, and an
immediate dilution of ₱10.96 per Common Share to investors of the Offer Shares at the Offer
Price of ₱13.75.
The following table illustrates dilution on a per share basis based on an Offer of 229,654,404
Offer Shares at an Offer Price of ₱13.75 per Offer Share:
Offer Price per Offer Share

Dilution to investors of the Offer Shares ₱10.96
The following table sets forth the shareholdings and percentage of Common Shares
outstanding of existing and new shareholders of the Company immediately after completion
of an Offer of 229,654,404 Offer Shares:

Notes:
(1) The pro forma net book value is derived from the sum of the net book value of the
Company as of December 31, 2013 and the effect of the issuance of 500,000,000 new
common shares to CCC at a par value of ₱1.00 per share.
(2) Total number of issued and outstanding common shares used to compute per share
values (pre-Offer) is 2,000,000,000, at a par value of ₱1.00 per share, composed of
1,500,000,000 issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2013 and the
issuance of 500,000,000 new common shares to CCC as disclosed in Note 31,
starting on page 40 of the pro forma consolidated financial statements.
(3) Pro forma net book value per share takes into account the number of issued and
outstanding shares pre-Offer on account of the issuance of 500,000,000 new common
shares to CCC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF CNPF
The following discussion of CNPF’s recent financial results should be read in conjunction with
CNPF’s pro forma consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Prospectus
and the section entitled ―Selected Pro Forma Financial Information‖. The Company’s pro forma
consolidated financial statements are in part supported by the historical performance of its wholly
owned subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC, as presented in their 2011-2013 audited combined financial
statements. The Company believes that the presentation of the 2013 pro forma consolidated financial
statements, taken together with the rest of this Prospectus, would provide prospective investors with
sufficient insight into the growth potential of the Company.
CNPF’s pro forma consolidated financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013
was derived from the historical audited separate financial statements of the Company, GTC, SMDC,
CCC, PMCI and CSC, adjusted to give pro forma effect to (i) the consolidation of GTC and SMDC into
the Company and (ii) the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of CCC, PMCI and CSC, as if such
acquisitions occurred prior to January 1, 2013. The pro forma consolidated financial information was
prepared in accordance with the Company’s assumptions which are described in the pro forma
consolidated financial statements and reviewed by Navarro Amper & Co. in accordance with PSA.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects the current views of CNPF with
respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such as those set forth in
the section entitled ―Risk Factors‖ and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The pro forma financial statements included in this Prospectus and on which the discussions in this
section are based should not be considered indicative of actual results. See ―Risk Factors – Risks
relating to the presentation of information in this Prospectus – The pro forma financial information
included herein may not be indicative of actual results‖.
OVERVIEW
CNPF traces its history from the Century Group, a leading branded food company primarily
engaged in the development, processing, marketing and distribution of processed fish and
meat, as well as processed dairy products in the Philippines.
In October 2013, the Century Group began to undertake a general corporate reorganization
transaction. Prior to the corporate restructuring, the company‘s businesses were operated by
different companies:
Seafood
Century Canning Corporation (―CCC‖), incorporated on December 12, 1978, handled the
Group‘s sales and distribution for canned and processed tuna, sardines and bangus. Products
are marketed under 555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna. Columbus Seafood
Corporation (―CSC‖), incorporated on December 20, 1994, operated the manufacturing plant
for the sardines. General Tuna Corporation (―GTC‖), incorporated on March 10, 1997,
operated the tuna processing both for local and export sales.
84
Meat
The Pacific Meat Company, Inc. (―PMCI‖), incorporated on June 28, 1994, manufactured
canned and processed meat under the brand names Argentina, Swift and 555.
Dairy
Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation (―SMDC‖) incorporated on February 14, 2001, handles
the dairy and sinigang mixes under the brands of Birch Tree, Angel, Home Pride and Kaffe de
Oro.
In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, the business operations of CCC,
CSC and PMCI were folded into CNPF, the listing vehicle. The business operations of CCC
and CSC were folded into CNPF under the canned and processed fish segment. The canned
meat business operations of PMCI were folded into CNPF under the canned meat segment.
SMDC, handling the dairy and mixes segment, and GTC, handling the private label canned,
pouched and frozen tuna products for export, were retained as separate corporate entities as
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF. As a result, the pro forma financial statements of CNPF
are a product of the combination of the businesses of CCC, PMCI, CSC, GTC and SMDC.
With this operating history spanning the last 35 years, CNPF has established a strong brand
and product portfolio through, and supported by, continuous product innovation and
acquisition of brands from third parties. Its brands are well-recognized in the Philippines and
include 555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna, Argentina and Swift for canned
meats and Angel and Birch Tree for canned and powdered milk. CNPF was the largest
producer of canned foods in the Philippines in terms of retail value according to Euromonitor
data for February 2013.The quality of CNPF‘s products has been recognized by numerous
consumer and industry association awards. For example, Century Tuna received the Trusted
Brand Award from Reader‘s Digest in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and Argentina Corned Beef
received the same award in 2012 and 2013.
As of December 31, 2013, CNPF offered 283 products which can be found in 3,772 modern
retail outlets, approximately 225,168 directly served general trade outlets and 330,749
indirectly served points of sale, totalling over 559,689 points of sale throughout the
Philippines. CNPF operates five production facilities and distributes its products through 14
distribution centers strategically located across the Philippines. CNPF distributes its products
directly to retailers, as well as through third-party distributors. As at December 31, 2013,
CNPF maintained 200 manufacturer direct-to-retail accounts reaching 3,772 retail outlets in
the Philippines. In addition, as at December 31, 2013, CNPF held distribution agreements
with 39 distributors, reaching approximately 225,168 retail outlets ranging from supermarkets
to sari-sari stores. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2013, CNPF exports both private label
and branded products, which are distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia,
and the Middle East.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, CNPF‘s net revenue was ₱19,023 million. CNPF‘s
net profit for the same periods was ₱743.9 million.
Business Segments
CNPF‘s business operations are divided into four main business segments: canned and
processed fish, canned meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export.
85
The canned and processed fish segment produces a variety of tuna, sardine and other fish and
seafood-based products. CNPF‘s key brands in the canned and processed fish segment include
Century Tuna, 555, Blue Bay and Fresca.
The canned meat segment produces corned beef, meatloaf and a variety of other meat-based
products. Key brands in this segment include Argentina, Wow and Swift.
The dairy and mixes segment primarily comprises canned milk, powdered milk and other
dairy products, as well as coffee mixes and sinigang mix. Key brands include Angel, Birch
Tree, Kaffe de Oro and Home Pride.
CNPF also produces private label canned, pouched and frozen tuna products for export to
major overseas markets including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle
East. In addition, CNPF‘s branded products are also exported to overseas markets and are
across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the contribution of each business segment to CNPF‘s
total revenue and net income is as follows:

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CNPF’s results of operations are affected by a variety of factors. Set out below is a discussion
of the most significant factors that have affected CNPF’s results in the past and which CNPF
expects to affect its financial results in the future. Factors other than those set out below
could also have a significant impact on CNPF’s results of operations and financial condition
in the future. See ―Risk Factors‖.
Raw Materials Costs and Product Prices
CNPF depends on raw materials, including certain critical raw materials such as tuna, meat,
tin cans and powdered milk, most of which are procured from third parties from both within
and outside the Philippines. These materials are subject to price volatility caused by a number
of factors, including changes in global supply and demand, foreign exchange rate fluctuations,
weather conditions and government regulations and controls. In addition, CNPF‘s ability to
obtain raw materials is affected by a number of factors beyond its control, including natural
disasters, governmental laws and policies, and interruptions in production by suppliers.
Changes in the prices of raw materials will necessarily affect CNPF‘s cost of sales and may
affect the pricing of CNPF‘s products. Changes in prices may also affect consumer demand,
as CNPF‘s consumers are generally price sensitive. While CNPF believes it has been able to
successfully pass on price increases historically to its customers, there is no assurance that
any future increases in cost of sales can be fully passed on to consumers. As a result, any
material increase in the market price of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on
CNPF‘s operating margins, which may affect its financial position and operating
performance.
Economic, Social and Political Conditions in the Philippines
While CNPF has operations outside the Philippines, all of CNPF‘s assets as of December 31,
2013 were located in the Philippines, and approximately 69% of its revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2013, were derived from its operations in the Philippines. As a result,
CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are substantially
influenced by economic and political conditions in the Philippines. Although the Philippine
economy has experienced stable growth in recent years, the Philippine economy has in the
past experienced periods of slow or negative growth, high inflation, significant devaluation of
the Peso, and has been significantly affected by economic volatilities in the Asia-Pacific
region. Also, in the past, there have been periods of political instability in the Philippines,
including impeachment proceedings against two former presidents and the chief justice of the
Supreme Court of the Philippines, and public and military protests arising from alleged
misconduct by previous administrations. Sales of most of CNPF‘s products are directly
related to the strength of the Philippine economy (including overall growth levels and interest
rates) and tend to decline during economic downturns. Any deterioration in the Philippine
economy, including a significant deterioration in the value of the Peso, may adversely affect
consumer sentiment and lead to a reduction in demand for CNPF‘s products.
Competition
CNPF faces competition in the Philippines as well as in the other countries in which it
distributes its products. It competes with a number of multi-national, national, regional and
local competitors. Although certain of CNPF‘s products have significant market shares in the
88
Philippines and in many cases are market leaders in their respective product categories, CNPF
expects to face increasing competition as it continues to grow its business. Competitive
factors generally affecting CNPF‘s businesses include price, product quality, brand awareness
and customer loyalty, distribution coverage, customer service and the ability to effectively
respond to shifting consumer tastes and preferences. For a more detailed discussion on
competition, please see ―Business‖ beginning on page 129 of this Prospectus, and ―Industry‖
beginning on page 160 of this Prospectus
Seasonality
CNPF‘s sales are affected by seasonality in customer purchase patterns. In the Philippines,
most food products, including those produced by CNPF, experience increased sales during the
Christmas season. As a result, seasonality could affect CNPF‘s financial condition and results
of operations from one quarter to another, particularly in relation to the fourth quarter of each
year.
Introduction of New Products and Marketing Initiatives
CNPF believes that many consumer food products are impulse and discretionary purchases,
which are particularly sensitive to competitive pressures. A key element in maintaining its
market share in the highly competitive Philippine food market has been for CNPF to
continuously introduce new products and product extensions.
In addition to introducing new products, CNPF has undertaken marketing initiatives using
organized advertising campaigns to differentiate its products and further expand market share.
CNPF devotes significant expenditures to support advertising and branding, including funding
for advertising campaigns, such as television commercials and radio and print advertisements.
CNPF‘s advertising and promotion costs accounted for a significant proportion of total
revenue, comprising 3% for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The development and introduction of new products and the use of marketing initiatives can
substantially increase CNPF‘s operating costs. Although CNPF believes that these higher
costs are justified by increased sales from new and existing products, there is typically a delay
between the incurrence of these costs and any such sales. Furthermore, CNPF cannot be
assured of when, if ever, these expenditures will result in increased revenues.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those that are both (i) relevant to the presentation of CNPF’s
financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require management’s most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions
affecting the possible future resolution of the uncertainties increase, those judgments become
even more subjective and complex.
For information on CNPF‘s significant accounting policies and significant accounting
judgments and estimates, see Note 6, starting on Page 9 of the audited financial statements of
CNPF as parent included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF KEY LINE ITEMS
Sale of Goods
CNPF, GTC and SMDC derive their net sales from sale of goods to their customers less value
added tax (―VAT‖) and sales returns and allowances. GTC customers consist of importer-
brand owners, food producers and retailers, traders and agents in the international tuna
market. CNPF and SMDC customers include largely customer accounts serving the modern
trade, general trade and food service channels of the domestic market. In addition, CNPF and
SMDC have customers that serve the export market.
Cost of goods sold
CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods available
for sale (i.e. inventory at the beginning of the year plus additional stocks from production and
purchases during the year) less inventory at the end of the year. The cost elements comprising
cost of goods sold include raw materials and packaging materials cost plus conversion costs.
Conversion costs consist of direct labor cost, utilities expense, and manufacturing overhead
expense.
Operating Expenses (Income)
CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating expenses comprise primarily of salaries and wages
and other staff costs, advertising and promotions cost, freight and distribution expenses, other
selling and market expenses, depreciation, repairs and maintenance expenses, and other
administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and other financing charges,
investment income, foreign exchange gain (loss), inventory loss, and other miscellaneous
income and expenses.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recorded at fair value plus transaction less provisions for impairment
loss, and are primarily from sales with an average credit term of 30 to 45 days. Impairment
loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect
from specific customers certain amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the
receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined based on evaluation of
available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of the Company‘s
relationship with the customers, the customers‘ current credit status based on known market
forces, average age of the accounts, collection experience and historical loss perspective.
Inventories
Inventories comprise primarily of raw materials, work-in-process goods and finished goods.
These are booked at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in process include the cost of raw
90
materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating
capacity. Raw material costs include all costs attributable to acquisition such as the purchase
price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable from taxing
authorities.
Inventories are derecognized when sold or otherwise disposed of.
Trade Payable
Trade payables comprise of obligations to suppliers incurred in the ordinary course of
business. These are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost
during the period when the goods or services are received or rendered.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company‘s principal liquidity requirements are for purchases of raw materials and
inventory, working capital requirements, and capital expenditures for plant maintenance and
production efficiency.
The Company‘s principal sources of liquidity are from internally generated cash from
operations and short-term bank loans. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company
had, on a pro forma consolidated basis, total current assets of ₱7,026 million, of which cash
and cash equivalents accounted for 11% or ₱804 million. This was against the Company‘s
total current liabilities of ₱5,305 million, 48% of which (or ₱2,535 million) were non-interest
bearing trade payables.
The Company expects a growth in its working capital due to increased sales and market share
expansion. Moving forward, the Company expects to fund these requirements from its
operating cash flows, borrowings and proceeds of the Offer. The Company intends to use a
portion of the proceeds from the Offer to partially pay off short-term debt financing
arrangements and to support working capital requirements. See ―Use of Proceeds‖ beginning
on page 55 of this Prospectus.
The Company may also, from time to time, seek other sources of funding, which may include
debt or equity financing, depending on its financing needs and market conditions. In the
course of conducting its business, the Company has, and will continue, to incur short-term 60-
90 days revolving credit lines from several banking institutions at an average interest rate of
2.5% to 3.5% per annum. CNPF expects that its principal uses of cash for fiscal year 2014
will be for payment of financial obligations, capital expenditures to increase production
capacity and cost efficiency, working capital and/or potential acquisitions.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
CNPF is exposed to various types of market risks in the ordinary course of business,
including foreign exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Commodity Price Risk
CNPF‘s commodity price risk exposure primarily results from the use of commodities as raw
materials in its production processes. In particular, the supply and prices of fish are subject to
seasonality and there is limited fish-catching activity from November to March of the
following year. To reduce its exposure to increased fish prices during this time, CNPF
typically builds up sufficient inventories of finished products by October of each year to
minimize the need to purchase fish at increased prices. CNPF currently does not have a
commodity price hedging policy.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
CNPF‘s foreign exchange rate risk arises primarily from the fluctuations in exchange rate that
arise between the Philippine Peso and the U.S. dollar. The substantial majority of CNPF‘s
revenues are denominated in Pesos, while certain of its expenses, particularly its raw material
costs, are denominated in U.S. dollars or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars. In
addition, CNPF is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its export of private label tuna
and its branded products. To hedge its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, CNPF enters
into a forward contract for each export order to secure the expected profit at time of delivery.
See ―Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s Business – CNPF is exposed to foreign
exchange risk‖, ―Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Philippines – Volatility in the value of
the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies could adversely affect CNPF’s
business‖ and ―Exchange Rates‖.
Credit Risk
CNPF‘s exposure to credit risk relates primarily to its trade and other receivables. Generally,
CNPF‘s maximum credit exposure in the event of customers‘ and counterparties‘ failure to
perform their obligations is the total carrying amount of the financial asset as shown on the
statement of financial position. To minimize its credit risk, CNPF evaluates customer credit,
receivables and payment habits for all major customers on a quarterly basis.
Liquidity Risk
CNPF is exposed to the possibility that adverse changes in the business environment or its
operations could result in substantially higher working capital requirements and consequently,
a difficulty in financing additional working capital. CNPF manages its liquidity risk by
monitoring its cash position and maintaining credit lines from financial institutions that
exceed projected financing requirements for working capital.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMBINED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION FOR GTC AND SMDC
The following discussion of the combined GTC and SMDC’s recent financial results should be read in
conjunction with the auditors’ reports, the selected combined financial information for GTC and
SMDC, and the corresponding notes thereto, contained in this Prospectus and the section entitled
―Selected Combined Financial Information for GTC and SMDC‖.
The combined financial information of GTC and SMDC as of and for the years ended December 31,
2011, 2012 and 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements of GTC and SMDC prepared
in accordance with PFRS and audited by Punongbayan & Araullo.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects the current views of GTC and SMDC
with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such as those set forth in
the section entitled ―Risk Factors‖ and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
OVERVIEW
GTC and SMDC are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF. GTC is engaged in the
manufacture and export of private label canned, pouched and frozen tuna products for exports
to markets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. SMDC is in the dairy and mixes
business, and produces and markets liquid milk products, powdered milk products, coffee mix
and sinigang mix largely for the domestic market.
GTC was incorporated in 1997, and currently operates a 360-metric ton capacity state-of-the-
art tuna processing facility in General Santos City. GTC is the Philippines‘ largest exporter of
processed tuna products with 34% share of total Philippines tuna exports, based on the
Philippine Bureau of Customs data for full year 2013. With operational strategy targeted
toward product competitiveness and international standards and building strong customer
relationships, GTC has increasingly grown its exports for products like canned tuna, pouched
tuna and vacuum-packed frozen loin products. These tuna products, which are made from
choice premium quality skipjack and yellow fin fish materials, are offered by GTC in various
retail and institutional pack styles with the tuna material processed into flakes, chunks or solid
form using either oil or brine as packing medium. GTC has supply arrangements with leading
global manufacturers including Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee Foods LLC, Subway, Princes,
Hagoromo, Hoko, California Garden and Rio Mare. GTC‘s tuna processing facility conforms
to global standards for food production through its accreditations with the International Food
Standard, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, British Retail Consortium, European Union
and Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
SMDC has been in the dairy business since 2001, and through the years, has continually
expanded its product portfolio using the Angel and Birch Tree brands in product segments
such as evaporated milk, condensed milk, full cream milk powder and all-purpose cream. In
2008, SMDC diversified into the coffee mix line through the Kaffe de Oro brand and sinigang
flavoring mixes line through the Home Pride brand. Sustained brand equity, product
innovation, value for money pricing, marketing niching strategy, and distribution investments
have made the SMDC brands own the third largest milk market share in the domestic market
amidst the traditional approach of its competitors. SMDC operates a newly-built canned milk
and cream processing plant with an installed capacity of 11,000 cases per day in Taguig,
Metro Manila.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GTC’s and SMDC’s combined results of operations are affected by a variety of factors. Set
out below is a discussion of the most significant factors that have affected GTC’s and
SMDC’s combined results in the past and which GTC and SMDC expect to affect its
combined financial results in the future. Factors other than those set out below could also
have a significant impact on GTC and SMDC’s combined results of operations and financial
condition in the future. See ―Risk Factors‖.
Raw Materials Costs and Product Prices
GTC uses skipjack and yellow fin tuna as main raw materials for production. These fish
materials, which are procured from both local and foreign fish catcher suppliers operating in
the Western Pacific Ocean, are processed into finished products using customized packing
medium ingredient materials such as soya oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, brine and sauces.
Packaging materials include tin cans, pouches, frozen loin PE nylon shrinkable vacuum bags,
and cartons.
SMDC‘s principal production materials are instant full cream milk powder, skimmed milk
powder, buttermilk powder, non-dairy creamer, vegetable oil, sugar and tin cans. Milk
101
materials are sourced mostly through direct importation from Europe, the United States,
Australia and New Zealand.
As experienced by GTC and SMDC, these materials are subject to price volatility caused by a
number of factors, including changes in global supply and demand, foreign exchange rate
fluctuations, weather conditions and government regulations and controls. In addition, GTC‘s
and SMDC‘s ability to obtain raw materials is affected by a number of factors beyond their
control, including natural disasters, governmental laws and policies, and interruptions in
production by suppliers.
Changes in the prices of raw materials have necessarily affected GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of
sales and management‘s decision in the pricing of GTC and SMDC products. Changes in
prices have also affected consumer demand, as both GTC and SMDC consumers and
customers are generally price sensitive. For the last three years, 2011 to 2013, GTC and
SMDC have been able to successfully pass on some or all cost increases to their customers
via selling price increases, particularly in product segments where GTC and SMDC have
relatively strong market positions. However, GTC and SMDC believe there is no assurance
that any future increases in cost of sales can always be fully passed on to consumers. As a
result, any material increase in the market price of raw materials could have a material
adverse effect on GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating margins and sales volumes, which may
affect overall financial position and operating performance.
Competition
GTC faces competition from tuna exporters not only from the Philippines but also from other
tuna exporting countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Ecuador, Spain and Seychelles. Given
the commodity-like nature of tuna products, selling prices and raw material tuna fish cost
generally move in similar patterns. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, tuna fish prices have continually
risen due to declining catches, and, as a result, canned tuna prices have moved on an upward
trend as well, adversely causing a slowdown in consumer demand in major tuna importing
countries. In an increasingly competitive tuna export market, an important element in
maintaining export market share for GTC has been GTC‘s ability to sustain its strong image
of reliability and consistency in supplying to its customers premium quality tuna products at
competitive prices and building a long lasting customer relationship.
SMDC competes with a number of multi-national, national, regional and local competitors in
the Philippine market. In terms of market share, SMDC is in a market challenger position
against two large multinational dairy companies. The competitive factors generally affecting
SMDC‘s business include price, product quality and innovation, brand awareness and
customer loyalty, distribution coverage and customer service. A major factor to sustain
business growth for SMDC in 2011, 2012 and 2013 was SMDC‘s ability to spot and tap
market opportunities amidst changing consumer tastes and preferences. Through a marketing
niching strategy, SMDC has continued the market development of its Kremdensada product,
which is a first-in-the-market 2-in-1 cream product launched in 2010. The 2-in-1 cream
product is a product that combines the goodness of all-purpose cream and condensed milk in
one can and offers its consumers savings in cost, high quality taste and convenience in
preparation.
Seasonality
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s sales are affected by seasonality in customer purchase patterns. In the
Philippines, most food products, including those produced by SMDC, experience increased
sales during the Christmas season and summer months as consumers use the milk products for
creaming beverages, desserts, cooking and baking applications. In European export tuna
102
markets, the highest consumption period is the summer months while in North America, tuna
sales are year-round. As a result, seasonality could affect GTC and SMDC‘s net sales and
operating results and cause them to continue to vary from quarter to quarter during the
operating year.
Introduction of New Products and Marketing Initiatives
GTC and SMDC believe that many consumer food products are impulse and discretionary
purchases, and therefore particularly sensitive to competitive pressures. A key element in
maintaining their market share in the highly competitive markets in which they operate has
been for GTC and SMDC to continuously introduce new products and product extensions.
In years 2011 to 2103, the rising cost of tuna fish material caused canned tuna prices to rise in
a similar pattern, affecting export market demand and creating greater competitive pressures
among tuna exporters. In response to changing market conditions, GTC shifted a portion of its
manufacturing capability into frozen loin production to enter the tuna loin market where there
was growing demand for frozen tuna loins among tuna canneries operating in high-labor cost
countries.
SMDC introduced new products like the KremQueso 370 ml product in 2012, Angel All
Purpose Creamer 370 ml, and Angel Evaporated Liquid Creamer 145 ml in 2013 as part of
its continuing strategy to satisfy consumer needs and preferences, increase product
differentiation, and maximize market shares and plant capacity utilization.
The development and introduction of new products and the use of marketing initiatives can
substantially increase not just the revenue but also operating costs. SMDC believes that these
higher costs are justified by increased sales from new and existing products, although there is
typically a delay between the incurrence of these costs and any such sales; and that it cannot
be assured of when, if ever, these expenditures will result in increased revenues.
Economic, Social and Political Conditions in the Philippines
GTC‘s and SMDC‗s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are
substantially influenced by economic and political conditions in the Philippines. Sales of most
of GTC and SMDC products are directly related to the strength of the Philippine economy
(including overall growth levels, foreign exchange rates, fuel oil prices, and interest rates) and
tend to decline during economic downturns. Any deterioration in the Philippine economy,
including a significant appreciation in the value of the Peso relative to the U.S. dollar
overseas Filipino worker remittances, may adversely affect consumer sentiment and lead to a
reduction in demand for SMDC products. A significant devaluation or appreciation of the
Peso similarly affects the export demand for GTC products.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those that are both (i) relevant to the presentation of GTC
and SMDC’s combined financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of
variables and assumptions affecting the possible future resolution of the uncertainties
increase, those judgments become even more subjective and complex.
103
For information on GTC and SMDC‘s significant accounting policies and significant
accounting judgments and estimates, see Notes 4 & 5 of the combined audited financial
statements of GTC and SMDC included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
DESCRIPTION OF KEY LINE ITEMS
Sale of Goods
Each of GTC and SMDC derives its net sales from sale of goods to its customers less VAT
and sales returns and allowances. GTC customers consist of importer-brand owners, food
producers and retailers, traders and agents. SMDC customers include modern trade accounts
such as supermarkets, groceries, and convenience stores; general trade accounts such as
company distributors and large wholesalers distributing to sari-sari store and wet market
stores; food service accounts such as hotels, restaurants, caterers, bakeshops, and food
commissaries; and export accounts such as direct importers and exporter-distributors, and
exporter consolidators.
Cost of goods sold
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods available for sale
(i.e. inventory at the beginning of the year plus additional stocks from production and
purchases during the year) less inventory at the end of the year. The cost elements comprising
cost of goods sold include raw materials and packaging materials cost plus conversion costs
consisting of direct labor cost, utilities expense, and manufacturing overhead expense.
Operating Expenses (Income)
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating expenses comprise primarily of salaries and wages and other
staff costs, advertising and promotions cost, freight and other selling expenses, depreciation,
repairs and maintenance expenses, foreign currency losses related to conversion of
transactional to functional currency, and other administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and other financing charges,
investment income, foreign exchange gain (loss), and other miscellaneous income and
expenses.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year ended December 31, 2013 compared to year ended December 31, 2012
Sale of Goods
GTC and SMDC registered a combined net sale of goods of ₱7,419 million for the year ended
December 31, 2013, an increase of 34% from the ₱5,524 million recorded for the year ended
December 31, 2012. The principal reasons for this increase were as follows:
104
GTC’s Tuna Export
Net sales in tuna export business were ₱5,863 million in fiscal year 2013, representing a 54%
increase from the ₱3,804 million recorded in fiscal year 2012. This increase in net sales
primarily reflected the effect of higher volumes and higher selling prices in fiscal year 2013,
arising from strong export shipments for tuna products to Europe and parts of Asia. The Peso
depreciation against the U.S. dollar likewise boosted export competitiveness and Peso selling
prices during the year.
SMDC’s Dairy and Mixes
Net sales in the dairy and mixes business were ₱1.5 million in fiscal year 2013, which
represented a 9.5% decrease from the ₱1,720 million net sales recorded in fiscal year 2012.
This decrease is due to lower sales volume. Fiscal year 2012 had higher than average sales
performance due to export orders from Thailand, whose market supply for evaporated milk
products was operationally disrupted by the flood calamity that hit Bangkok, Thailand. In
2013, this export sales opportunity ended as the Thai milk market supply returned to normal
conditions. Another key factor slowing down sales in 2013 was the short term transitional
effect of changes made in CNPF‘s sales distributor program. CNPF‘s distributor program
called for a correction of the distributors‘ excessive trade inventory levels via improvements
in warehouse stock management, and required the distributors to re-channel freed up working
capital resources for use instead in expanding and deepening distribution activities.
Cost of goods sold
GTC and SMDC‘s combined cost of goods sold increased by 39% to ₱6,845 million for the
year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱4,932 million for the year ended December 31, 2012,
primarily due to higher volume and higher costs of raw materials used.
GTC’s Tuna Export
The cost of goods sold for the tuna export business amounted to ₱5,561.1 million for fiscal
year 2013, which represented a 60% increase from cost of goods sold of ₱3,512 million for
fiscal year 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold principally reflected the higher share of
fish cost to total production cost from 63% in 2012 to 76% in 2013. Share of total materials
cost to total product cost was 84% in 2013 versus 77% in 2012.
SMDC’s Dairy and Mixes
The cost of goods sold for the dairy and mixes business amounted to ₱1,222 million for the
year ended December 31, 2013, which represented a 14% decrease from cost of goods sold of
₱1,420 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold
primarily reflected the impact of lower purchase prices for key raw materials namely – milk
powder, ingredients and packaging materials. Reduction in variable overhead cost cushioned
cost inflation of raw materials. Share of total materials cost to total product cost was 91.8% in
2013 versus 91.2% in 2012.
Gross profit
As a result of the foregoing, the combined GTC and SMDC gross profit decreased by 3% to
₱574 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱592 million for the year ended
December 31, 2012. Of this gross profit for fiscal year 2013, GTC contributed ₱301.6 million
105
while SMDC contributed ₱325.5 million versus ₱291 million and ₱301 million, respectively,
in fiscal year 2012.
Operating expenses (income)
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined operating expenses decreased by 1% to ₱424 million for the
year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱429 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The principal reasons for the decrease are as follows:
GTC’s Tuna Export
GTC‘s operating expenses decreased by 5% to ₱148 million for the year ended December 31,
2013 from ₱155 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 largely due to effects of
higher sales volume on freight expenses and selling expenses, which was offset by higher
administrative expenses specifically foreign currency losses in translating transactional to
functional currency, and higher taxes and licenses arising largely from the sale of land
property to Century Canning Corporation.
SMDC’s Dairy and Mixes
SMDC‘s operating expenses increased by 0.4% to ₱275 million for the year ended December
31, 2013 from ₱274 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The subtle increase was
primarily due to lower advertising and promotion expense and lower forwarding and
warehousing expense which were partially offset by increase in trade marketing expenses and
increase in taxes and licenses and management fees relating to the share issuances to Century
Canning Corporation.
Other Income (Expense)
GTC and SMDC had a combined net other income of ₱73 million in 2013 in its Other Income
(Expense) account. This includes ₱51 million interest cost, ₱21 million other revenues from
the rental of GTC‘s plant facility to Century Canning Corporation, ₱91 million foreign
currency gains and ₱9 million of miscellaneous income offset by bank charges and loss on
sale of assets. In 2012, the combined Other Income and expense registered a net other
expense of ₱7 million. This includes ₱55 million interest cost, other revenues also from plant
rental amounting ₱21 million, other revenues from charging of share in storage rental of ₱25
million, ₱0.4 million foreign currency transactional gain and a net other miscellaneous
expense of ₱2 million.
Tax Expense
The combined income tax expense for GTC and SMDC decreased by 2% to ₱43.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2013, from ₱44.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2012, as a result of higher reported operating income from both business segments. GTC‘s
provision for income tax expense for 2013 given an operating income of ₱118 million was
₱28 million, which was lower than 2012‘s income tax expense of ₱37 million. The lower
income tax expense in 2013 was due to the higher share of frozen loin products to GTC‘s total
income which was covered by the income tax holiday incentives granted by the Board of
Investments for frozen loin exports sales. SMDC‘s provision for income tax in 2013 was ₱15
million, higher than 2012 income tax expense of ₱7 million, due to higher reported operating
income.
106
Net Profit
As a result of the foregoing, SMDC‘s and GTC‘s combined net profit after tax increased by
61% to ₱179 million the year ended December 31, 2013 from ₱111 million for the year ended
December 31, 2012. Of this 2013 combined net income after tax, GTC contributed ₱138
million while SMDC shared ₱42 million. This compared with 2012 net income after of ₱92
million for GTC and ₱19 million for SMDC.
Year ended December 31, 2012 compared to year ended December 31, 2011
Sale of Goods
GTC and SMDC registered a combined net sale of goods of ₱5,524 million for fiscal year
2012, an increase of ₱774 million, or 16%, from the ₱4,750 million net sales recorded in
fiscal year 2011. Of this increase in net sales, GTC accounted for ₱333 million while SMDC
accounted for ₱441 million. The principal reasons for this increase in net sales for GTC and
SMDC were as follows:
GTC’s Tuna Export
Net sales in tuna export business were ₱3,804 million in fiscal year 2012, representing an
increase of 10% from the ₱3,471 million recorded in fiscal year 2011. This increase in net
sales reflected the higher sales volumes and higher selling prices of tuna products exported.
Fiscal year 2012 marked GTC‘s move to shift portions of its production capacities toward the
higher value, higher margin products. A further boost to GTC‘s 2012 net sales was fishmeal
product, which increased its net sales to ₱254 million from ₱121 million in 2011 largely due
to improved fishmeal production output.
SMDC’s Dairy and Mixes
Net sales in dairy and mixes business were ₱1,720 million in fiscal year 2012, an increase of
₱441 million, or 34%, over fiscal year 2011. Two contributing factors to sales growth in 2012
over 2011 were the (1) increased domestic sales of SMDC‘s newly-launched 2-in-1 creamer
products and evaporated liquid creamer products and (2) export of evaporated milk products
to the Thai market which experienced supply disruptions for the product due to the huge flood
calamity that hit the city of Bangkok.
Cost of goods sold
The combined cost of goods sold for GTC and SMDC totaled ₱4,932 million in fiscal year
2012, or an increase of ₱612 million, or 14%, over the ₱4,320 million recorded in 2011. The
principal reasons for this increase were as follows:
GTC’s Tuna Export
GTC‘s cost of goods sold totaled ₱3,512 million in fiscal year 2012, representing a 9%
increase from the ₱3,232 million recorded in fiscal year 2011. Higher sales volume and high
unit production cost per case were key factors to the increase in cost of goods sold. High fish
cost, ingredients materials cost and direct labor cost associated with frozen tuna loin
production were key factors to higher unit cost of sales in 2012.
107
SMDC’s Dairy and Mixes
SMDC‘s cost of goods sold amounted ₱1,420 million in fiscal year 2012, or 30%, increase
from the ₱1,088 million recorded in fiscal year 2011. This increase reflected the cost of sales
effect of higher sales volume as well as the lower product cost in 2012 attributable to lower
purchase prices for milk powder materials.
Gross profit
As a result of the foregoing, the combined gross profit for GTC and SMDC was ₱592 million
for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of ₱162 million, or 38%, from ₱430
million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Of this gross profit for fiscal year 2012, GTC
contributed ₱291 million while SMDC contributed ₱301 million.
Operating expenses
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined operating expenses increased by ₱143 million, or 50%, to
₱429 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from the ₱286 million recorded for the
year ended December 31, 2011. Of this increase, GTC accounted for ₱49 million while
SMDC contributed ₱94 million. The principal reasons for these increases in operating
expenses of GTC and SMDC are as follows:
GTC‘s operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 totaled ₱155 million, a 46% increase from the
₱106 million recorded for fiscal year 2011. The increase in GTC‘s operating expenses is
attributed to a ₱10 million decrease in selling expenses which was fully offset by the foreign
currency loss (from transactional to functional) of ₱42 million
SMDC‘s operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 totaled ₱274 million, a ₱94 million, or 52%,
increase from the ₱180 million recorded for fiscal year 2011. The increase in SMDC‘s
operating expenses is largely due to a ₱46 million increase in spending on advertising and
promotions and trade marketing activities in order to boost sales revenues and consumer
brand awareness. Contributing as well to higher operating expenses is an increase of ₱34
million on freight and delivery expenses as a result of servicing higher volume of customer
orders. Fixed administrative expenses in 2012 increased by ₱2 million as compared to 2011.
Other Expense (Income)
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined net other expense was ₱7 million in 2012 consisting of ₱34
million interest cost, ₱4 million of bank charges, ₱15 million of foreign currency loss, and
₱46 million other revenues from the rental of a portion of GTC‘s plant facility to Century
Canning Corporation. In 2011, GTC and SMDC had a combined net other expense of ₱42
million, the composition of which was ₱26 million interest cost, ₱37 million foreign currency
loss, ₱7 million bank charges, ₱2 million other financing charges, ₱18 million of rental
revenues and ₱ 12 million of miscellaneous income.
Tax Expense
Income tax in 2012 was ₱44 million, an increase of ₱9 million from ₱35 million in 2011. Of
total income tax expense in 2012, GTC accounted for ₱37 million or an increase of ₱5 million
from ₱32 million in 2011. SDMC on the other hand accounted for ₱7 million of total income
tax expense in 2012, or ₱3 million higher than 2011.
108
Net Profit
As a result of the factors discussed above, the combined net profit after tax for GTC and
SMDC was ₱111 million in 2012, which was ₱45 million higher than 2011. Of this combined
net profit after tax in 2012, GTC contributed ₱92 million, or an increase of ₱34 million from
2011, while SMDC shared ₱19 million, or an increase of ₱11 million from 2011.
109
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s principal
sources of liquidity were internally generated funds from operations and bank loans which
were sufficient to meet requirements for working capital and additions to property, plant and
equipment. As at December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, GTC and SMDC reported combined
cash and cash equivalents of ₱115.9 million, ₱127.7 million and ₱413.7 million, respectively.
Collectively, GTC and SMDC expect that their principal uses of cash for fiscal year 2014 will
be ₱1,671.0 million for payment of short term loans, ₱176.0 million for capital expenditures,
and ₱423.8 million to improve working capital position. Their source of cash will primarily
be operating cash flows and proceeds of the Offer. GTC and SMDC may also from time to
time seek other sources of funding, which may include debt or equity financing, depending on
their financing needs and market conditions.
The following table sets forth selected information from the combined financial information
for GTC and SMDC, particularly, the statements of cash flows for the periods indicated:

GTC accounted the majority of the aforementioned capital expenditures. During the fiscal
years 2011, 2012 and 2013, where its capital expenditures totaled ₱109.6 million, ₱76.6
million, and ₱121.1 million, respectively, GTC upgraded its manufacturing plant in General
Santos City, investing in frozen loin production equipment, steam boiler machinery, and
labelling-casing equipment, to expand and diversify output capacity to meet growing demand
volumes. GTC also invested in a tin can manufacturing plant, also in General Santos City, to
vertically integrate its production requirements for 307 tin cans and lower its tin can cost.
SMDC‘s capital expenditure in 2013 amounted to ₱151.8 million, mainly for its relocation
and expansion of its milk and mixes plant facility in Taguig City, Metro Manila.
GTC and SMDC have historically sourced funding for capital expenditures through internally
generated cash from operations.
GTC and SMDC have budgeted ₱43.3 million and ₱132.7 million, respectively, or a
combined total of ₱176.0 million, for capital expenditures for 2014. The planned capital
expenditures for 2014 are essentially a part of the continuing strategic programs to optimize
cost and capacities. GTC and SMDC expect to fund their budgeted capital expenditures
principally through a portion of the proceeds of the Offer.
The figures in GTC‘s and SMDC‘s capital expenditure plans are based on management‘s
estimates and have not been appraised by an independent organization. In addition, GTC and
SMDC‘s capital expenditure plans are subject to a number of variables depending on the
overall macro-economic and business conditions, identification of potential new projects and
acquisitions, and management‘s view of GTC and SMDC‘s liquidity, financial condition and
results of operations. There can be no assurance that GTC and SMDC will execute their
capital expenditures program as planned.

Prospectus.
Debt Obligations and Facilities
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s combined short-term debt and no long-term debt as of December 31,
2013 was ₱2,214.6 million. The short-term debt was comprised of revolving 90-day
promissory notes with various commercial banks, namely – Bank of Philippine Islands,
Banco de Oro, ANZ Bank, Security Bank & Trust Company, and Metropolitan Bank & Trust
Company. On the other hand, the long-term debt was the remaining portion of a five-year
long term loan facility with the Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. that fully matures on February

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
GTC and SMDC are exposed to certain types of market risks in the ordinary course of
business, including commodity price risk, foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit
risk and liquidity risk.
Commodity Price Risk
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s commodity price risk exposure primarily results from the use of
commodities such as fish and milk as raw materials in their production processes. In
particular, the supply and prices of fish and milk are subject to seasonality changes due to
weather and climate changes, global supply and demand, fishing and environmental
regulatory controls. To reduce commodity price risk, GTC and SMDC typically build up
sufficient inventories of finished products and raw materials to minimize the pressure to
purchase the raw material at increased prices or to avoid market supply disruptions.
Whenever management deems justifiable, GTC and SMDC enter into short term forward
supply arrangements with suppliers to lock in purchase price and supply.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s foreign exchange rate risk arises primarily from the fluctuations in
exchange rate that arise between the Peso and the U.S. dollar. A substantial majority of
GTC‘s revenues are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars given the export nature of GTC‘s
business. SMDC on the other hand focuses mainly on the domestic market and, as such,
SMDC revenues are mainly Peso denominated. Certain expenses of GTC and SMDC are
denominated in U.S. dollars, or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars. GTC and SMDC
maintain and prepare their accounting records and financial statements in Pesos, although for
statutory reporting purposes, GTC‘s financial statements are converted to U.S. dollars. To
mitigate the impact of foreign exchange risk, GTC tries to match its U.S. dollar revenue
inflows with its U.S. dollar expense outflows when possible and appropriate. GTC enters into
a forward contract for each export order to secure the expected profit at time of delivery.
SMDC on the other hand enters into forward contracts for its forward importation purchases
114
when management deems appropriate. See ―Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s
Business – CNPF is exposed to foreign exchange risk‖, ―Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the
Philippines – Volatility in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies
could adversely affect CNPF’s business‖ and ―Exchange Rates‖.
Credit Risk
GTC‘s and SMDC‘s exposure to credit risk primarily relates to their trade and other
receivables. Generally, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s maximum credit exposure in the event of
customers‘ and counterparties‘ failure to perform their obligations is the total carrying amount
of the financial asset as shown on the statement of financial position. To minimize their credit
risk, credit exposures to customers are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Customer receivables
and payment habits for all customers are monitored and evaluated to ensure customer
creditworthiness is maintained at all times and the credit limits set is appropriate to the
expected business volumes to be generated. To the huge distributor-customers, bank
guarantees are required for the credit amounts to be extended.
Liquidity Risk
GTC and SMDC are exposed to the possibility that adverse changes in the business
environment or their operations could result in substantially higher working capital
requirements and consequently, a difficulty in financing additional working capital. GTC and
SMDC manage their liquidity risk by monitoring and forecasting their cash position and
maintaining credit lines from financial institutions that exceed projected financing
requirements for working capital.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION OF CNPF
The following discussion of CNPF’s recent consolidated financial results should be read in
conjunction with the auditors’ reports, selected consolidated financial information of CNPF,
and the corresponding notes thereto, contained in this Prospectus and the section entitled
―Selected Consolidated Financial Information of CNPF‖.
The selected parent financial information of the Company as of and for the period from
October 25 to December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements of the
Company prepared in accordance with PFRS and audited by Navarro Amper & Co.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects the current views of CNPF
with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such
as those set forth in the section entitled ―Risk Factors‖ and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
OVERVIEW
CNPF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation. It was incorporated on
October 25, 2013 and organized to own and operate the canned and processed fish, canned
meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export businesses of the Century Group.
On October 31, 2013, CNPF acquired from CCC all rights, title and interest of CCC in GTC
and SMDC. At the same time, CNPF likewise purchased the property, plant and equipment
assets of the canned tuna business of CCC, canned sardines business of CSC, and canned
meat business of PMCI with the purpose of eventually assuming the said business operations
of CCC, CSC and PMCI. On January 1, 2014, CNPF acquired the inventories of CCC and
CSC and canned meat business of PMCI, absorbed the organizational workforce and business
operating systems of CCC, CSC and PMCI, and hereon assumed the operations of the
businesses.
CNPF traces its historical track record of business performance from the Century Group. It
looks back to 1978 when Ricardo S. Po established CCC to venture into the canned tuna
export business, and in the subsequent years, continued to expand and diversify into other
businesses. CCC then entered the canned sardine business in 1983, the domestic canned tuna
business in 1987, the canned meat business under PMCI in 1994, and the dairy and mixes
business under SMDC in 2001. Amidst these growth initiatives, CCC saw the benefits of
strategic business unit focus. Hence, CCC spun off its canned sardine business into a separate
business entity, CSC, in 1994 and similarly, its canned tuna export business into GTC in
1997.
CNPF prides itself with these businesses whose performances are highlighted by strong multi-
brand and multi-product portfolio, dominant market shares and loyal consumer following,
strong trade distribution infrastructure, and stably growing and profitable operations.
For the period ended October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013, as CNPF transitioned with its
general corporate re-structuring transaction, CNPF‘s revenue and net income performance,
representing the consolidated results of operations for its subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC,
including CNPF operations as stand-alone parent company, is as follows:

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CNPF’s consolidated results of operations are affected by a variety of factors. Set out below
is a discussion of the most significant factors that have affected CNPF’s consolidated results
in the past and which CNPF expects to affect its consolidated financial results in the future.
Factors other than those set out below could also have a significant impact on CNPF’s
consolidated results of operations and financial condition in the future. See ―Risk Factors‖.
Raw Materials Costs and Product Prices
CNPF relies on supply of critical raw materials such as tuna, milk, and tin cans, most of
which are procured from third parties from both within and outside the Philippines. As
experienced, these materials are subject to price volatility caused by a number of factors,
including changes in global supply and demand, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, weather
conditions and government regulations and controls. In addition, CNPF‘s ability to obtain raw
materials is affected by a number of factors beyond its control, including natural disasters,
governmental laws and policies, and interruptions in production by suppliers.
Changes in the prices of raw materials will necessarily affect CNPF‘s cost of sales and may
affect the pricing of CNPF‘s products. Changes in prices may also affect consumer demand,
as CNPF‘s consumers are generally price sensitive. While CNPF believes it has been able to
successfully pass on price increases historically to its customers, there is no assurance that
any future increases in cost of sales can be fully passed on to consumers. As a result, any
material increase in the market price of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on
CNPF‘s operating margins, which may affect its financial position and operating
performance.
Economic, Social and Political Conditions in the Philippines
While CNPF has operations outside the Philippines with 79% of its revenues derived from
exports operations for the two month period ending December 31, 2013, all of CNPF‘s assets
are located in the Philippines. As a result, CNPF‘s business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects are substantially influenced by Philippine macro-economic and
political conditions. Although the Philippine economy has experienced stable growth in
recent years, the Philippine economy has in the past experienced periods of slow or negative
growth, high inflation, significant devaluation of the Peso, and has been significantly affected
by economic volatilities in the Asia-Pacific region. Sales of most of CNPF‘s products are
directly related to the strength of the Philippine economy (including overall growth levels,
120
foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates) and tend to decline or rise during
economic downturns. For example, any significant deterioration in the value of the Peso may
benefit export sales for CNPF‘s tuna products as Peso deterioration effectively lowers
CNPF‘s export prices in comparison to competitors from other countries. On the other hand,
however, the Peso deterioration may adversely affect the dairy and mixes business as the cost
of its products‘ imported milk raw material increases with the deterioration of the Peso value
and creates undue pressure on selling prices and margins.
Competition
CNPF faces competition in the Philippines as well as in the other countries in which it
distributes its products. It competes with a number of multi-national, national, regional and
local competitors. Although certain of CNPF‘s products have significant market shares in the
Philippines and in many cases are market leaders in their respective product categories, CNPF
expects to face increasing competition as it continues to grow its business. Competitive
factors generally affecting CNPF‘s businesses include price, product quality, brand awareness
and customer loyalty, distribution coverage, customer service and the ability to effectively
respond to shifting consumer tastes and preferences. For a more detailed discussion on
competition, please see ―Business‖ beginning on page 129 of this Prospectus, and ―Industry‖
beginning on page 160 of this Prospectus.
Seasonality
CNPF‘s sales are affected by seasonality in customer purchase patterns. In the Philippines,
most food products, including those produced by CNPF, experience increased sales during the
Christmas season. As a result, seasonality could affect CNPF‘s financial condition and results
of operations from one quarter to another, particularly in relation to the fourth quarter of each
year.
Introduction of New Products and Marketing Initiatives
CNPF believes that many consumer food products are impulse and discretionary purchases,
which are particularly sensitive to competitive pressures. A key element in maintaining its
market share in the highly competitive Philippine food market has been for CNPF to
continuously introduce new products and product extensions.
In addition to introducing new products, CNPF has undertaken marketing initiatives using
organized advertising campaigns to differentiate its products and further expand market share.
CNPF devotes significant expenditures to support advertising and branding, including funding
for advertising campaigns, such as television commercials and radio and print advertisements.
CNPF‘s subsidiary, SMDC, spent 6% of its total revenue for advertising and promotion costs
for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The development and introduction of new products and the use of marketing initiatives can
substantially increase CNPF‘s operating costs. Although CNPF believes that these higher
costs are justified by increased sales from new and existing products, there is typically a delay
between the incurrence of these costs and any such sales. Furthermore, CNPF cannot be
assured of when, if ever, these expenditures will result in increased revenues.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those that are both (i) relevant to the presentation of CNPF’s
financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require management’s most difficult,
121
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions
affecting the possible future resolution of the uncertainties increase, those judgments become
even more subjective and complex.
For information on CNPF‘s significant accounting policies and significant accounting
judgments and estimates, see Note 6 starting on Page 21 of the consolidated audited financial
statements of included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
DESCRIPTION OF KEY LINE ITEMS
Sale of Goods
CNPF‘s subsidiary, SMDC, derives its sales from the sale of dairy and mixes products to
domestic customers while GTC derives its sales from exports of canned tuna, pouch tuna and
some frozen loins products to international markets. Such sales of SMDC and GTC are net of
value added tax (―VAT‖) and sales returns and allowances.
Cost of goods sold
CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods available
for sale (i.e. inventory at the beginning of the year plus additional stocks from production and
purchases during the year) less inventory at the end of the year. The cost elements comprising
cost of goods sold include raw materials and packaging materials cost plus conversion costs.
Conversion costs consist of direct labour cost, utilities expense, and manufacturing overhead
expense.
Operating Expenses
CNPF‘s, GTC‘s and SMDC‘s operating expenses comprise primarily of salaries and wages
and other staff costs, advertising and promotions cost, freight and distribution expenses, other
selling and market expenses, depreciation, repairs and maintenance expenses, and other
administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) would comprise rental income, interest income, foreign currency
gains (loss), inventory loss, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. Specifically on
rental income, CNPF derived rental revenues from the lease back of property, plant and
equipment to where CNPF acquired the said assets from, that is, its parent CCC and fellow
subsidiaries PMCI and CSC. This lease back arrangement is specifically only for the duration
of the corporate re-structuring period, October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Other income
and expenses are income and expenses generated outside the normal course of business.
Finance Costs
CNPF‘s finance costs consist of interest expense, bank charges and other financing related
charges.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.
122
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recorded at fair value plus transaction less provisions for impairment
loss, and are primarily from sales with an average credit term of 30 to 45 days. Impairment
loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect
from specific customers certain amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the
receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined based on evaluation of
available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of the Company‘s
relationship with the customers, the customers‘ current credit status based on known market
forces, average age of the accounts, collection experience and historical loss perspective.
Inventories
Inventories comprise primarily of raw materials, work-in-process goods and finished goods.
These are booked at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in process include the cost of raw
materials, direct labour and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal
operating capacity. Raw material costs include all costs attributable to acquisition such as the
purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable from
taxing authorities. Inventories are derecognized when sold or otherwise disposed of.
Trade Payable
Trade payables comprise of obligations to suppliers incurred in the ordinary course of
business. These are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost
during the period when the goods or services are received or rendered.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the period October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013, CNPF‘s principal sources of liquidity
were largely cash generated from financing activities and partly cash flow from operating
activities. The table below sets forth the cash movement for period:
For the Period
October 25, 2013 to December 31,
2013 (in ₱ million)
Cash from (used in) operating activities 16.2
Cash from (used in) investing activities -265.7
Cash used for acquisition of subsidiaries -735.1
Cash from (used in) financing activities 1,422.5
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash 437.9
125
equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent beginning of year 0.0
Cash and cash equivalent end of year 437.9
Cash from financing activities largely came from the issuance of share capital amounting
₱1,500 million. Cash was used primarily to acquire the shares of stocks of GTC and SMDC
from CCC valued at ₱1,194.6 million and to purchase as well the property, plant and
equipment assets of the canned tuna business of CCC, canned sardine business of CSC and
canned meat business of PMCI worth ₱230.1 million for the purpose of assuming the
operations of the said businesses in January 1, 2014.
Other sources of cash during the period were ₱22.7 million of operating cash flow (i.e. net
loss plus effect of accrual accounting) and ₱17.7 million of cash freed up from the reduction
in net working capital. Cash freed up from decreases in inventory, trade receivables, other
current assets and non-current assets totaled ₱798.8 million but this was partially offset by a
₱781.1 million decrease in trade payables, related party payables and foreign exchange
effects. Other operating uses of cash were contributions to retirement fund and income tax
paid totalling ₱24.3 million.
Investing activities included largely the use of cash of ₱344.9 million for acquisition of
property, plant and equipment, partially offset by ₱79.7 million of proceeds from the sale of
land by GTC to CCC.
With the foregoing cash movement, CNPF‘s consolidated cash position at the end of
December 31, 2013 stood at ₱437.9 million.
Capital Expenditures
The capital expenditures of CNPF for the period October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2013
totaled ₱344.9 million. Set forth below is the breakdown of capital expenditures for CNPF:

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The following table sets forth CNPF‘s consolidated contractual obligations and commitments
as of December 31, 2013:
The aforementioned contractual obligations and commitments will all mature in 2014.
The interest-bearing loans and borrowings, totaling ₱2,214.6 million, consist mostly 60 to 90
days term revolving promissory notes and unsecured borrowings obtained from local banks
with annual interest rates averaging 2.5% to 3.5%. Included in this loan balance is a ₱15.0
million remaining portion of a five year term loan under GTC which will mature on February
27, 2014. The breakdown of the loan by business segment is GTC at ₱1,999.6 million and
SMDC at ₱215.0 million.
Trade and other non-trade payables are generally on a 30 to 90 days term and bear no interest
charges. Due to related parties payables are basically inter-company advances and
transactions considered part of the normal course of business and settled within the year.
CNPF, GTC and SMDC have a combined total available credit lines of least ₱6,000 million.
These credit lines can be drawn for working capital and capital expenditure needs.
Subsequent events after December 31, 2013 included the acquisition by CNPF of the
inventories of the canned tuna operations of CCC, canned meat business of PMCI and canned
sardine business of CSC on January 1, 2014. Further on February 6, 2014, CNPF received
additional subscription from CCC for 500,000,000 shares at ₱1 per share or ₱500 million.
Said subscription was paid on the same date and the shares were issued on February 8, 2014.
CNPF believes that its existing cash and credit lines, together with cash generated from
operations and the proceeds of the Offer, will be sufficient to finance its working capital and
capital expenditure needs for 2014.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
CNPF is exposed to various types of market risks in the ordinary course of business,
including foreign exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Commodity Price Risk
CNPF‘s commodity price risk exposure primarily results from the use of commodities as raw
materials in its production processes. In particular, the supply and prices of fish are subject to
seasonality and there is limited fish-catching activity from November to March of the
following year. To reduce its exposure to increased fish prices during this time, CNPF
typically builds up sufficient inventories of finished products by October of each year to
minimize the need to purchase fish at increased prices. CNPF currently does not have a
commodity price hedging policy.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
CNPF‘s foreign exchange rate risk arises primarily from the fluctuations in exchange rate that
arise between the Philippine Peso and the U.S. dollar. The substantial majority of CNPF‘s
revenues are denominated in Pesos, while certain of its expenses, particularly its raw material
costs, are denominated in U.S. dollars or based on prices determined in U.S. dollars. In
addition, CNPF is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its export of private label tuna
and its branded products. To hedge its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, CNPF enters
into a forward contract for each export order to secure the expected profit at time of delivery.
See ―Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s Business – CNPF is exposed to foreign
exchange risk‖, ―Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Philippines – Volatility in the value of
the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies could adversely affect CNPF’s
business‖ and ―Exchange Rates‖.
128
Credit Risk
CNPF‘s exposure to credit risk relates primarily to its trade and other receivables. Generally,
CNPF‘s maximum credit exposure in the event of customers‘ and counterparties‘ failure to
perform their obligations is the total carrying amount of the financial asset as shown on the
statement of financial position. To minimize its credit risk, CNPF ensure it transacts only with
creditworthy customers. CNPF continuously monitors and evaluates customer credit,
receivables and payment habits for all major customers to mitigate credit risk.
Liquidity Risk
CNPF is exposed to the possibility that adverse changes in the business environment or its
operations could result in substantially higher working capital requirements and consequently,
a difficulty in financing additional working capital. CNPF manages its liquidity risk by
monitoring its cash position and maintaining credit lines from financial institutions that
exceed projected financing requirements for working capital.
129
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
CNPF traces its history to the Century Group, a leading branded food company primarily

Business Segments
CNPF‘s business operations are divided into four main business segments: canned and
processed fish, canned meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export.

CNPF also produces private label canned, pouched and frozen tuna products for export to
major overseas markets including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle
East. In addition, CNPF‘s branded products are also exported to overseas markets and are
distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. For the years
ended December 31, 2013, the contribution of each business segment to CNPF‘s total revenue

flavour mixes and 3-in-1 coffee products. Gross profit for the segment amounted to ₱333.9
million for an equivalent gross profit rate of 21%. Net income totalled ₱41.8 million, or a 3%
return on sales ratio.
HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
CNPF was incorporated on October 25, 2013 to own and operate the canned and processed
fish, canned meat, dairy and mixes and tuna export businesses of the Century Group. The
history of these businesses and CNPF‘s recent corporate restructuring is described below.
Corporate History
Richard S. Po, the founder of the Century Group, started a canned tuna export business
through the establishment of CCC in 1978. By 1983, CCC had become the leading canned
132
tuna exporter in the Philippines. That same year, the Century Group entered the canned
sardine business with the launch of 555 Sardines. In 1986, the Century Group launched
Century Tuna, developing the canned tuna market in the Philippines. The Century Group then
entered the canned meat industry with the launch of Argentina Corned Beef in 1995 and
Argentina Beef Loaf in 1996. The Century Group continued to expand its product offerings
with the acquisition of Blue Bay in 2001. The Century Group entered the milk business with
the launch of Angel in 2002 and the acquisition of Birch Tree in 2003. The Century Group has
continued to diversify its product and brand portfolio, with the acquisition of the Home Pride
and Kaffe de Oro brands in 2008, launch of Angel coffee creamer in 2009, launch of Angel
Kremdensada and Wow in 2010 and the acquisition of the Swift brand and related assets in
2012.
Corporate Restructuring
CNPF traces its history from the Century Group, a leading branded food company primarily
engaged in the development, processing, marketing and distribution of processed fish and
meat, as well as processed dairy products in the Philippines.
In October 2013, the Century Group began to undertake a general corporate reorganization
transaction. Prior to the corporate restructuring, the company‘s businesses were operated by
different companies:
Seafood
Century Canning Corporation (―CCC‖) incorporated on December 12, 1978 handled the
Group‘s sales and distribution for canned and processed tuna, sardines and bangus. Products
are marketed under 555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna. Columbus Seafood
Corporation (―CSC‖), incorporated on December 20, 1994, operated the manufacturing plant
for the sardines. General Tuna Corporation (―GTC‖), incorporated on March 10, 1997,
operated the tuna processing both for local and export sales.
Meat
The Pacific Meat Company, Inc. (―PMCI‖), incorporated on June 28, 1994, manufactured
canned and frozen processed meat under the brand names Argentina, Swift and 555.
Dairy
Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation (―SMDC‖), incorporated on February 14, 2001, handles
the dairy and sinigang mixes under the brands of Birch Tree, Angel, Home Pride and Kaffe de
Oro.
In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, the business operations of CCC,
CSC and PMCI were folded into CNPF, the listing vehicle. The business operations of CCC
and CSC were folded into CNPF under the canned and processed fish segment. The canned
meat business operations of PMCI were folded into CNPF under the canned meat segment.
SMDC, handling the dairy and mixes segment, and GTC, handling the private label canned,
pouched and frozen tuna products for export, were retained as separate corporate entities as
wholly-owned subsidiaries of CNPF. As a result, the pro forma financial statements of CNPF
are a product of the combination of the businesses of CCC, PMCI, CSC, GTC and SMDC.
On October 31, 2013, CNPF acquired all of the outstanding shares of GTC and SMDC, as
well as certain fixed assets of CCC, PMCI and CSC. All applicable taxes relating to the
133
transfer of assets and shares of GTC and SMDC have been paid and the Company is currently
awaiting BIR issuance of the Certificate Authorizing Registration for the purchase of the
shares. A number of additional transactions are being undertaken as part of the restructuring
plan, including the following:
CNPF entered into separate agreements with each of CCC, PMCI and CSC to effect
the transfer of employees associated with the business segments being restructured.
Pursuant to such agreements, CNPF assumed the obligations of CCC, PMCI and CSC
with respect to retirement and other benefits which have accrued to the employees
based on their seniority or years of service. The employees were transferred to CNPF
with effect from January 1, 2014.
CNPF entered into an inventory purchase agreement pursuant to which CNPF
acquired the inventories of CCC, PMCI and CSC as at December 31, 2013.
Certain permits and licenses, which have been granted by the Philippine FDA
(formerly the Bureau of Food and Drug) to CCC, PMCI and CSC and which are
relevant to the business segments being restructured, are being transferred or assigned
to CNPF in accordance with Philippine FDA regulations.
Certain material contracts, including contracts for the supply of raw materials, are
being assigned or novated by CCC, PMCI or CSC, as applicable, to CNPF. For
suppliers who do not have formal supply contracts with CCC, PMCI or CSC, a notice
was sent informing all such suppliers that with effect from January 1, 2014, CNPF
will take over the operation of the various business segments being restructured.
CNPF entered into licensing agreements with certain companies owned and
controlled by the Po family for the use of certain trademarks and brand names which
are currently licensed to CCC, PMCI and CSC. See ―Intellectual Property‖ below for
further details.
As of the date of this Prospectus, apart from securing issuance of some of the above permits
and licenses, all material transactions relative to the corporate reorganizing have been
completed.
As a result of the foregoing corporate restructuring, CNPF now has two subsidiaries; namely,
SMDC and GTC. SMDC was incorporated on February 14, 2001 to engage in the business of
manufacture, sale and distribution of all kinds of milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetable
juices and other milk or dairy preparations, among others. On the other hand, GTC was
incorporated on March 10, 1997 to engage in the business of trading, manufacturing,
preserving, processing, canning, packing, importing and exporting all kinds of food and food
products, including fish, seafood, and other marine products. SMDC and GTC are each
currently capitalized at ₱500,000,000.
As a newly incorporated company, CNPF will also be relying on the track record of its wholly
owned subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC. In this respect, both GTC and SMDC, satisfy the
requirements of the PSE Revised Listing Rules i.e., that such subsidiary (i) must have a
cumulative consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(EBITDA), excluding non-recurring items, of at least ₱50 million for three full fiscal years
immediately preceding the application for listing, (ii) a minimum EBITDA of ₱10 million for
each of the three fiscal years, and (iii) must further be engaged in materially the same
businesses and must have a proven track record of management throughout the last three
years prior to the filing of the application. With SMDC‘s EBITDA of approximately ₱26
134
million, ₱38 million and ₱38 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively and GTC‘s
EBITDA of approximately ₱268 million, ₱299 million and ₱355 million for 2011, 2012 and
2013, respectively, CNPF‘s subsidiaries are in full compliance with the financial
requirements. Moreover, GTC and SMDC have been in existence since 1997 and 2001
respectively and have had a proven track record of management since then. The PSE Revised
Listing Rules prohibit CNPF from divesting its shareholdings in GTC and SMDC for a period
of three years from the date the Offer Shares are listed on the PSE; provided that the
prohibition shall not apply if the divestment is approved by a majority of CNPF‘s
shareholders.
The corporate reorganization has brought about operational and administrative efficiencies,
such as reduction in administrative overhead and headcount reduction.
CNPF and its subsidiaries, GTC and SMDC, have not been subject to: (i) any bankruptcy,
receivership or similar proceedings or (ii) ay material reclassification, merger, consolidation
or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets.
The following chart provides an overview of the relevant business segments of the Century
Group prior to the completion of corporate restructuring:

The chart below provides an overview of CNPF‘s corporate structure including its major
operating subsidiaries as at December 31, 2013, after the corporate restructuring:
COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
CNPF believes its principal competitive strengths comprise the following:
Established market leadership positions with iconic, well-recognized and trusted brands
The Company is the largest producer of canned foods in the Philippines in terms of retail
value according to Euromonitor data for February 2013. In addition, the Company‘s brands
have established market-leading positions within each of their respective segments. For
example, based on data from AC Nielsen, in 2012, the Company was the market leader in the
Philippines in domestic canned tuna, with a market share of 87% by sales. In addition, based
on AC Nielsen data as of August 2013, the Company was the market leader in corned beef
with a market share of 42.5% by sales and the market leader in meat loaf with a market share
of 25.6% by sales.
Several of the Company‘s brands have a long heritage and are well-recognized and trusted
brands in the Philippines. The Company believes that customers associate its brands with
health and quality. Such brands include Century Tuna which was launched in 1986, Argentina
Corned Beef which was launched in 1995 and Angel which was launched in 2002. The
Company has also grown its brand portfolio through brand acquisitions, including the
acquisition of Blue Bay in 2001, Birch Tree in 2003, Kaffe de Oro and Home Pride in 2008
and Swift in 2012. As a result of the heritage and strength of the Company‘s brands as well as
their high standards of quality, the Company has won a number of industry, consumer and
marketing awards including the Agora Awards‘ Marketing Company of the Year Award for
136
Century Canning Corporation (2011) and the Trusted Brand Award by Reader‘s Digest for
Century Tuna (2011, 2012 and 2013) and Argentina Corned Beef (2012 and 2013).
The Company continues to enhance brand recognition among consumers by consistently
maintaining high product quality, as well as through active and targeted marketing and
promotional campaigns such as using well-recognized celebrities to endorse its products. The
Company believes that its well-recognized brands have allowed it to develop strong customer
loyalty resulting in repeat purchases that provide it with greater pricing power relative to its
competitors.
Furthermore, the Company believes that the established reputations and market-leading
positions of its brands provide a strong platform to maintain and grow its market shares
through new products, product line extensions and expansion of its distribution networks.
Multi-category, multi-brand product portfolio catering to different customer tastes and
price points
The Company has a diverse product portfolio with multiple product lines across fish, meats
and dairy. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a portfolio comprising 128 SKUs for
tuna products, 101 SKUs for canned meat products, 25 SKUs for sardine products and 29
SKUs for dairy and mixes products. The Company produces numerous product variants to
cater to different customer tastes. For example, the Company produces chicken, pork and
tuna-based vienna sausages to capture the full range of consumer preferences for this product.
In addition, the Company packages its products in different sizes to target different customer
price points. This diverse product portfolio allows it to capture a larger share of the
consumers' wallets and provides broader avenues for future growth, both within and across its
key product categories. In addition, this also reduces its dependence on any single product
category or brand, and makes the Company more resilient to changes in the competitive
landscape or price fluctuations in raw material that may impact one product category more
than another.
In addition, leveraging on the Company's strong reputation and recognition for product
quality, the Company has also developed a multi-brand strategy within each product segment
that allows it to broaden its reach to customers more easily than its competitors. Within each
of its product segments, the Company offers a wide portfolio of brands and products to meet a
diverse range of consumer tastes, preferences and price points allowing for a comprehensive
coverage of the Filipino consumer market. For example, in the canned tuna segment, the
Century Tuna brand targets the up-market canned tuna consumer whereas the 555 Tuna brand
is aimed at the budget or cost-conscious canned tuna consumer. This allows the Company to
broaden its customer base and capture the benefits from growth in disposable income from a
larger proportion of the population. In addition, this segmentation allows the Company to
target consumers in different regions with different demographics with the right brand, as
well as react quickly and opportunistically to changes in consumer preferences and to act
defensively against any action by competitors.
The Company‘s diverse product portfolio also provides marketing and product synergies
across segments. For example, product recipes and formulations achieved through internal
research and development are shared across product segments. In addition, international best
practices implemented in the tuna export segment are shared across the Company‘s various
production lines, improving production processes and enhancing product quality.
137
Strong track record of product innovation and successful introduction of new products
Product innovation and development has been an important element in the Company‘s
business strategy and has been crucial to the Company‘s success. The Company has
demonstrated strong innovative capabilities as shown by its consistent track record of
launching new products to address changing consumer needs and preferences. For example,
the Company differentiates its products from plain canned tuna/meat by developing new
flavors and dishes that are designed and packaged as ready-to-eat meals. In particular, the
Company‘s ready-to-eat dishes use tuna as the main ingredient in traditionally beef, pork and
chicken-based dishes such as kaldereta, adobo and afritada to increase consumers‘ acceptance
of the product while providing consumers with a healthier alternative. In the dairy segment,
the Company has successfully introduced two-in-one products such as Angel Kremdensada (a
combination of all-purpose cream and condensed milk) and Angel KremQueso (a combination
of all-purpose cream and cheese) to provide convenient and cost-effective options for
consumers. In addition to innovative products, the Company has noticed a shift in preference
from canned products to flexible packaging or products sealed in pouches. In response, the
Company has started to produce pouched tuna products.
Furthermore, the Company has a strong ability to bring its products to market using
innovative marketing strategies. The Company‘s marketing campaigns are jointly developed
between its highly experienced in-house marketing team and independent creative agencies.
The Company employs the use of celebrity endorsements in its marketing strategies to link
each product to the intended branding message. Over the years the Company has launched
numerous successful marketing campaigns, including a focused marketing campaign for
Argentina Corned Beef, which became the leading brand in its segment. The Company views
its ability to market its products as a critical success factor and invests heavily in advertising
and endorsements. The Company‘s ability to develop new products and successfully bring
them to market allows the Company to further segment each product category and tailor it to
consumers‘ tastes and preferences, preventing product commoditization.
Extensive market penetration through multi-channel distribution network
The Company operates and manages one of the most extensive distribution networks across
the Philippines, with its products available in every major city, creating a significant
competitive advantage. The Company has developed strong relationships directly with
retailers, including modern and general trade stores, as well as through third-party
distributors. Approximately 58% of the Company‘s distribution is through modern trade and
approximately 42% is through general trade. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s
modern trade coverage holds 200 direct accounts and 3,772 outlets, comprising national retail
chains with outlets across the Philippines, such as Robinsons Supermarkets, SM
Supermarkets, Metro department stores, Puregold and 7-Eleven, as well as regional retailers.
The Company‘s general trade coverage has grown significantly from approximately 70,000
outlets in 2010 to approximately 225,168 outlets including sari-sari stores, wet markets,
wholesalers and regional supermarkets in 2013. The Company operates 14 distribution
centers, allowing the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer demand.
In addition, the Company employs its own sales and distribution force consisting of
approximately 159 personnel, including sales administration and support functions, starting
from January 1, 2014 upon completion of the corporate restructuring. The Company believes
that employing a majority of its sales force in-house has resulted in a relatively higher level of
motivation and incentivization among its employees that has contributed to the strong growth
in the sales of the Company‘s products. This arrangement also enables the Company to work
closely with its customers and develop strong relationships with them. The Company
138
continually seeks ways to expand the reach of its distribution network, especially in the
Mindanao and Visayas regions. The Company believes that its multi-channel distribution
network and its strong relationships with customers has allowed it to maximize customer
reach and has been one of the key factors to its success in building and developing its market-
leading positions.
CNPF‘s extensive distribution network is supported by its strategically located production
facilities. The Company‘s tuna processing facility is located in General Santos, Mindanao,
which is the heart of the Philippine tuna industry as it is geographically adjacent to two large
tuna fishing grounds, the Western Pacific Ocean and the waters between Southern Philippines
and Indonesia. In addition, one of the Company‘s sardine processing facilities, with an
installed capacity of 200 MT per day as of December 31, 2013, is located in Zamboanga,
which is the center of the Philippine sardine industry. The proximity to the source of supply
ensures the availability of fresh fish, a critical element in maintaining a high quality product
and lowering the Company‘s logistics costs. The Company‘s meat processing plant and milk
and mixes plant, located in Laguna and Taguig, respectively, are also strategically located
close to major markets, which reduces the cost of transporting products to customers.
Highly scalable export business that supplies processed tuna to leading international
companies and distributes branded products to high growth markets
The Company‘s export business, comprising private label processed tuna as well as branded
products, is complementary to its domestic business as it helps increase scale and reduce
costs, increasing the Company‘s competitiveness. An additional benefit of the scalability of
the export business is that it allows the export business to focus on quality and achieve higher
margins.
The Company has developed a reputation in the international food manufacturing community
as a reliable and trusted partner. It has supplied some of the largest food manufacturers
globally, including Chicken of the Sea, Bumblebee Foods LLC, Subway, Princes, Rio Mare,
Hagoromo, Hoko and California Garden. The Company is constantly looking to enter into
additional agreements with potential partners. The Company believes that supplying leading
global food manufacturers in some of the most stringently regulated markets in the world
represents an endorsement of the quality of the Company‘s products.
The Company‘s export business operates an efficient and competitive business model with
growing revenue and profitability due to penetration of new markets and signing of new co-
partners. The Company currently supplies to brands and retailers in five continents and covers
major markets including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and the Middle East,
broken down as follows:
2013 2012 2011
% of total exports
North America 7% 12% 38%
Europe 44% 16% 16%
Asia and Australia 49% 67% 40%
Middle East 0% 5% 6%
139
The Company was the leading Philippine exporter of canned tuna and frozen tuna loin
products for the year ended December 31, 2013, with a market share of 34% according to data
from the Philippine Bureau of Customs.
The Company also distributes its branded products internationally, particularly to China and
Vietnam, through its affiliates. Century International (China) Company Limited and Century
Shanghai Trading Company, joint ventures between the Company and Thai Union
Manufacturing Company, Ltd., as well as Century Pacific Vietnam Company, a wholly
owned subsidiary of CCC, have headquarters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Vietnam,
respectively. These offices distribute the Company‘s branded products to major cities in the
region. The Company‘s products are carried by retailers such as Carrefour, Walmart, Tesco
Hymall, Metro and Auchan, among others. As of December 31, 2013, the Company‘s private
label and branded products are distributed across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and
the Middle East.
Experienced and dedicated management team
The Company is led by an experienced and dedicated management team with a proven track
record of success. Members of the senior management team have an average of over 25 years
of industry experience, including experience working in large, multinational corporations in
the food industry. The management team is well accustomed to the Philippine operating
environment and has effectively managed the Company both in times of strong economic
growth as well as through periods of economic downturn and political instability. The
strength and depth of the experience of the Company‘s management team have been
demonstrated by their successful implementation of a range of efficiency programs and
product innovations, which has resulted in continued profitability and market leadership for
the Company over the years. In addition, management team has a proven track record of
turning previously under-promoted and neglected brands, such as Birch Tree and Blue Bay,
into successful brands by applying the Company‘s strategies, such as proper branding and
national distribution coverage.
The Company believes that the members of its management team are highly regarded in the
industry, and they hold a variety of leadership positions in food industry organizations, such
as the Sardine Association of the Philippines, the Philippine Association of Meat Processors
Inc., the Tuna Canners‘ Association of the Philippines. The management team‘s industry
leadership positions also create a valuable local business network for the Company.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
The Company seeks to strengthen its leading market position in the Philippines and expand its
business operations by implementing the following business strategies:
Actively develop and manage product and brand portfolios to target different price
points and respond to emerging market trends
The Company has a history of driving growth through new and innovative products,
capitalizing on emerging market trends and introducing extensions of successful product
lines. The Company will continue growing its existing product categories and deliver
innovative products under trusted brands and the Company is committed to developing and
expanding its product categories to meet evolving consumer tastes and preferences. In
addition, the Company will continue to market different brands to target different consumer
price points. For example, the Company believes that there are growth opportunities in the
140
canned meat market and plans to target the premium segment through the development of the
Swift brand.
The Company also intends to continuously review its product offerings to rationalize
unprofitable products from its portfolio. To enhance the stability of its revenue stream and
profit margins, the Company plans to increase the percentage of sales of products that have
performed well and which the Company believes will continue to do so. For example, as
Philippine consumers have become more health conscious, the Company‘s marketing strategy
has evolved to highlight the health benefits of Century Tuna and to present the Company‘s
ready-to-eat tuna viands as healthier alternatives to traditional beef, pork and chicken-based
dishes. The Company has also noticed a shift in consumer preference from canned products to
products in sealed pouches or flexible packaging. The Company has pre-empted this shift in
preference and has developed the capability to produce pouched products. The Company
intends to increase its product offerings in pouched or flexible packaging, which the
Company believes will develop new product segments and further penetrate the ready-to-eat
meal segment.
In addition, the Company is ranked second in the Philippine condensed/evaporated milk
market and third in the Philippine all-purpose cream segment, according to AC Nielsen. The
Company views the dairy market as a strong growth opportunity and has developed various
initiatives to grow its dairy business. For example, the Company has responded to changing
consumer preferences and plans to develop ready-to-drink products. The Company also plans
to continue aggressively promoting the Angel and Birch Tree brands through marketing
campaigns within the next two years. In particular, the Company plans to grow the Angel
brand through improved formulations, smaller packaging sizes for more budget-conscious
consumers and achieving a market leading position in the two-in-one product platform for
canned milk and cream. For the Birch Tree brand, the Company intends to expand into adult
and children‘s milk segments through powdered milk, flavored milk drinks and other product
formats.
Expand distribution network to capitalize on growing retail segments and target
customers in high growth segments
The Company plans to capitalize on rapidly growing retail segments such as 24-hour
convenience trade and modern trade channels, and to expand its distribution network,
targeting to reach 250,000 directly served points of sale in 2014. In particular, the Company
plans to expand its distribution network in the Philippines by increasing the number of retail
outlets that its regional sales force services directly. At the same time, the Company is
working with its distributors to increase its penetration of general trade outlets, particularly in
more remote areas such as Mindanao and the Visayas. In addition, there are regions in the
Philippines such as Central Visayas where the Company is not the market leader due the
incumbency of regional market leaders. However, the Company believes that with sustained
presence through a well-developed distribution network in those regions, the Company will
be able to gain market share in those areas. The Company believes that the Philippine market
is still underserved in certain product categories and there are growth opportunities to
improve its distribution network. The Company plans to penetrate these underserved areas by
reaching out to a greater number of smaller informal retailers such as sari-sari stores and wet
markets.
Another area the Company has identified as a growth avenue is the food service segment.
While sales to food service customers, such as, but not limited to, Jollibee, KFC, Starbucks
and 7-Eleven, contributed less than 3% of the Company‘s total revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2013, the Company believes there are significant opportunities to work closely
141
with customers and expand existing relationships, as well as establish relationships with a
wider range of customers in this segment. The Company understands the needs of its food
service customers and proactively suggests new products or recipes suited for such
customers‘ business. As its food service customers continue to expand their business, the
Company intends to further collaborate with such customers and increase its sales in this
segment.
Enter into new product categories
In addition to growing and developing its existing product and brand portfolio, the Company
plans to enter into new product categories. The Company believes its competitive strengths
and deep understanding of the Philippine market provide significant advantages when
entering into new product categories. In 2014, the Company plans to start marketing and
distributing beverage products, such as coconut water, by leveraging on the Company‘s
extensive distribution network and experienced sales and marketing personnel. The
Company‘s marketing strategy will highlight the health benefits of these beverage products in
line with the Company‘s health and wellness theme, thus enabling the Company to penetrate
new product categories.
The Company also entered into a distribution agreement with Kapal Api of Indonesia on
November 16, 2012 to distribute Kapal Api‘s coffee products in the Philippines. Kapal Api is
an Indonesian company engaged in, among others, the operation of a coffee plantation, the
production of non-dairy creamer, the production of espresso machines, and the distribution of
coffee and coffee products.
Optimize export business to further penetrate the private label export market and
increase presence of branded products in overseas markets
As the current leading tuna exporter in the Philippines, the Company is well positioned to
increase its market share in the export business. The Company intends to increase the number
of partners for its private label export business in order to gain greater scale and better
capitalize on economies of scale. The Company believes this should further improve profit
margins of its export business.
The Company currently distributes its branded products across North America, Europe, Asia,
Australia, and the Middle East. The Company has noticed increasing brand awareness among
Filipino communities around the world and similar demands from Latino communities. While
overseas Filipino communities were the initial target customer base for its branded exports,
the Company has seen growing demand for its products in mainstream markets as the
Company continues to build the presence of its branded products in overseas markets. The
Company intends to capitalize on this trend and has started to sell its branded products to
Walmart, Albertsons and Kroger in the US, as well as negotiate with other retailers to have its
products sold in Asian food sections of their stores. The Company plans to enter into
distribution agreements with several other large retailers in North America in the near future
and likely within the next 12 months.
Opportunistic acquisition and development of strong regional brands
The Company has a proven track record of turning previously under-promoted and neglected
brands into market leading brands by applying its strategies, such as proper marketing and
extensive national distribution coverage. For example, Birch Tree was a strong brand in the
Philippines in the 1970s but lost significant market share as it did not receive marketing
support for many years prior to the Company‘s acquisition of the brand in 2003. After
142
acquiring the brand, the Company initially relied on its distribution network to increase the
penetration of Birch Tree products in modern and general trade outlets. The Company then
supported the brand through a strategic marketing campaign. Through the Company‘s efforts,
the Birch Tree brand was able to grow to 22.0% market share in the full cream milk powder
segment as of July 2011, according to AC Nielsen. The Company will continue to seize
acquisition opportunities and acquire brands opportunistically to penetrate new market
segments. Examples include the Century Group‘s recent acquisition of Swift from RFM
Corporation in 2012 which allowed the Century Group to compete in the premium canned
meats segment, and the Century Group‘s acquisition of the Home Pride and Kaffe De Oro
brands in 2008.
Cost improvements through backward integration, streamline logistics and cost-
engineering
The Company is focused on increasing the efficiency of its existing operations and
implementing targeted cost-saving initiatives in its businesses. In particular, the Company
intends to implement cost improvements through backward integration. The Company
sources the majority of its requirements from third-party suppliers. However, the Company
will be building a second tin can manufacturing facility which, upon completion by the end of
2014, is expected to produce approximately 25% to 30% of the Company‘s tin can
requirements. By producing a significant portion of its tin cans requirements internally, the
Company will be able to improve its profit margins by sourcing tin cans at cost and reducing
logistics costs associated with purchasing from third-party suppliers.
In addition, the Company‘s research and development team is an integral part of the
continued effort to identify cost improvements while maintaining high product quality
standards. For example, the Company‘s research and development team has been able to
increase the use of alternative raw materials, such as soy-based proteins, to lower production
costs for certain products. The Company estimates that research and development costs
accounts for less than 1% of its revenues.
The Company is also able to leverage its economies of scale to further rationalize its
production and distribution costs. Realizing savings through cost reduction initiatives will
improve the Company‘s profit margins and enable the Company to continue growing its
portfolios of brands and products.
PRODUCTS
CNPF produces and distributes a wide range of food products including canned and processed
fish, canned meat and dairy and mixes for the domestic market, as well as processed tuna for
the export market. CNPF‘s brand portfolio includes some of the most well-known brands in
the Philippines, such as Argentina for corned beef, Century Tuna for canned tuna, 555 for
canned sardines and Birch Tree and Angel for milk and dairy products.
Canned and Processed Fish
Prior to the corporate restructuring, the company‘s businesses were operated by different
companies. CCC, incorporated on December 12, 1978, handled the Group‘s sales and
distribution for canned and processed tuna, sardines and bangus. Products are marketed under
555 for sardines, Century Tuna and 555 for tuna. Columbus Seafood Corporation (―CSC‖),
incorporated on December 20, 1994 operated the manufacturing plant for the sardines.
143
In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, CNPF was incorporated and the
business operations of CCC and CSC were folded into CNPF under the canned and processed
fish segment.
Brands and Products
The 555 brand for canned sardines was introduced in the Philippines in 1983. Since then,
CNPF‘s canned and processed fish product offerings have expanded to include canned tuna,
canned sardines, canned mackerel, frozen milkfish, gourmet milkfish, pouched tuna, corned
tuna and other packaged fish and seafood products. The table below sets forth information

15.3% in canned sardines, and was the largest producer of canned fish products in the
Philippines in terms of retail value. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the canned and
processed fish segment was the largest contributor to CNPF‘s revenue, with segment revenue
of ₱7,014 million, representing 37% of total combined revenue of the company.
144
CNPF‘s canned and processed fish products are distributed in the Philippines to both retail
and food service outlets. Sales of CNPF‘s canned and processed fish products to retail outlets
accounted for approximately 96% of total segment sales for the year ended December 31,
2013, while sales to food service outlets accounted for approximately 4% of total segment
sales for the same period.
Tuna products are CNPF‘s most significant products, accounting for 59% of total revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2013. CNPF‘s tuna products are primarily sold under the
Century Tuna, 555 Tuna, Fresca and Blue Bay brands. The Century Tuna brand was the
leading canned tuna brand in terms of both retail value and sales volume in the Philippines in
2012 according to AC Nielsen. The 555 Tuna brand targets budget conscious consumers
looking for affordable and high quality canned and processed fish products. Blue Bay is
positioned as a regional brand and its products primarily comprise traditional canned tuna.
Fresca is a regional value brand which offers a mix of traditional canned tuna and ready-to-
eat tuna viands, as well as pouched tuna products. In addition to traditional canned tuna and
tuna viands, CNPF also offers processed tuna products such as corned tuna, tuna loaf, tuna
sausage and tuna mayo spread.
CNPF also offers packaged seafood based on farmed and cultured species under the Century
Quality brand. Products include canned bangus (milkfish), fried sardines, canned salmon, and
bangus tocino. For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenues of the Company‘s canned
and processed fish products were ₱7,014 million.
CNPF‘s top brands in the canned and processed fish segment are Century Tuna and 555,
which collectively accounted for 84% of CNPF‘s total canned and processed fish revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2013.
Production and Raw Materials
Raw materials used in the canned and processed fish segment include tuna, sardines, tin cans,
soya oil and vegetables. CNPF primarily sources such raw materials from third-party
suppliers. In particular, CNPF sources tuna and sardines from major domestic and
international fishing operators with whom CNPF has had a long history of cooperation.
Tin cans are used across all of CNPF‘s business segments. For the year ended December 31,
2013, usage of packaging materials, of which tin cans constitute the majority, accounted for
13% of CNPF‘s total production cost. While the majority of CNPF‘s tin can requirement is
purchased from third-party suppliers, CNPF currently owns and operates one tin can
manufacturing facility with installed capacity of 4.5 million cans per month as of December
31, 2013. Through this facility, CNPF is able to produce approximately 5% of its total tin can
requirements. The Company plans on constructing an additional tin can manufacturing
facility, which will be located directly adjacent to the current facility. The new facility is
expected to have an installed capacity of 700 cans per minute. Upon completion of the second
tin can manufacturing facility by the end of 2014, CNPF expects to provide approximately
25% to 30% of its tin can requirements through its own facilities.
As of the date of this Prospectus, CNPF owns one tuna processing plant in General Santos
City, one sardine processing plant with an installed capacity of 200 MT per day as of
December 31, 2013 in Zamboanga City and a second sardine processing plant with an
installed capacity of 45 MT per day as of December 31, 2013 in Cavite province. The table
below sets out key operating information for CNPF‘s fish processing facilities as of the date
of this Prospectus.
145
Facility Type Location Size
Tuna Processing Plant General Santos City 52,626 sq. m.
Sardine Processing Plant Zamboanga City 38,000 sq. m.
Sardine Processing Plant Cavite 2,500 sq. m.
The facilities operate six days per week, with two 12-hour shifts (inclusive of a one-hour
break per shift) per day.
The typical process for producing CNPF‘s tuna products begins with the loading and
receiving of tuna, which is then sorted, weighed and washed. The tuna is then steamed and
cooled before being further cleaned and de-boned. Once this steaming and cleaning process is
completed, the tuna is packaged into cans or pouches before being steamed a second time.
Then the product is cooled, labeled, packaged and prepared for shipment. The production
process for CNPF‘s sardine products is similar, except that the products are only steamed
once after they have already been packaged into cans. The production workflows for tuna and
sardines, respectively, are illustrated below.
Tuna Process Workflow
146
Sardines Process Workflow
CNPF‘s tuna and sardine processing plants follow strict quality control standards. The quality
control system incorporates the HACCP plan, which is a regulatory requirement for all food
manufacturing businesses. CNPF also implements additional quality control programs
including GMP, SSOP, and pest control management. Quality standards and parameters are
established for each step of the production process to ensure the safety and quality of the
products. In addition, all finished products pass through an x-ray, which is able to detect any
foreign contaminants.
CNPF engages third-party contractors for certain aspects of its production processes. In the
canned and processed fish segment, CNPF typically outsources the production of new
products, particularly when CNPF believes there is a market opportunity for the new product
but the expected initial demand and production volume is relatively low. CNPF moves the
production of new products in-house once production volume reaches a certain scale.
Competition
Based on data from Euromonitor and certain internal assumptions and calculations, CNPF
believes that it is the largest producer of canned and processed fish products in the
Philippines, with an estimated market share of approximately 54% as at end 2012. According
to data from AC Nielsen, in 2012, CNPF had approximately 87% market share in canned tuna
and approximately 15.3% market share in canned sardines in the Philippines in terms of retail
value.
In the canned and processed fish segment, CNPF competes on quality, customer service,
distribution network and price. CNPF is the leading company in the canned tuna segment. In
the canned sardines segment, CNPF competes with major domestic canned and processed fish
producers such as Liberty Gold, Maunlad Canning Corporation, Universal Canning,
Incorporated and Mega Fishing Corporation, as well as numerous regional and local canned
foods processors. To maintain its leading market position, CNPF intends to, among other
measures, continue emphasizing the healthy image associated with Century Tuna while
introducing different product sizes targeted towards more budget-conscious consumers.

Canned Meat
Prior to the corporate restructuring, PMCI, which was incorporated on June 28, 1994,
manufactured canned and frozen processed meat under the brand names Argentina, Swift and
555.
In order to streamline and rationalize the Group‘s operations, CNPF was incorporated and the
canned meat business operations of PMCI were folded into CNPF under the canned meat
segment.

across various income levels, it offers affordable and high quality canned meat products under
its Lucky 7 brand to budget conscious consumers. In addition, CNPF offers its Chinese
luncheon meat products under the Shanghai label. In 2008, CNPF launched the Wow brand,
which is the newest brand in the canned meat segment, primarily offers ready-to-eat viands in
a variety of flavors. In 2012, the Company acquired the Swift brand and selected assets from
RFM Corporation.

50% of total segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Production and Raw Materials
Raw materials used in the canned meat segment include beef, pork, chicken, protein and
spices. CNPF primarily sources such raw materials from a network of domestic and
international suppliers.
CNPF leases and operates one meat processing plant located in Laguna. The facility has an
area of 14,500 sq. m. and an installed capacity of 194 MT per day as of December 31, 2013.
The production process of CNPF‘s corned beef and meat loaf products typically starts with
frozen meat being cut, weighed and cured. For the corned beef products, the meat is parboiled
before being hashed and mixed with other ingredients. Meat loaf products are directly
chopped with curing salts and other ingredients without being parboiled. Then, the meat
mixtures are canned and heated to commercial sterility before being cooled and packed. The
finished products typically have an incubation period of 14 days. Then, the products are
labeled, packed and sealed before being shipped or warehoused for distribution. The
production workflow for corned beef and meat loaf, respectively, are illustrated below.

materials, followed by the combination of milk powders, stabilizers and other dry ingredients
in a mixing tank. The mixture is then pasteurized, homogenized and cooled before being
standardized with water and buffering salt. Once this process is completed, the milk products
are filled into cans and re-heated to commercial sterility. The cans are finally labeled and
packaged. Typically, packaged products have an incubation period of 14 days before being

Tree brands through sustained investment in advertising and promotion and distribution. In
addition, CNPF plans to grow the Angel brand through improved formulations, smaller
packaging sizes for more budget-conscious consumers and achieving a market leading
position in the two-in-one product platform for canned milk and cream. Furthermore, CNPF
plans to grow the Birch Tree brand by expanding into the adult and children‘s milk segments
through powdered milk, flavored milk drinks and other product formats.
Tuna Export
Brands and Products
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, GTC, CNPF manufactures private label canned,
pouched and frozen tuna products for export to markets in North America, Europe, Africa and
Asia. Canned tuna is the primary export product, accounting for approximately 75% of
153
CNPF‘s total tuna exports as at December 31, 2013. Major customers for CNPF‘s private
label tuna exports include Chicken of the Sea, Bumble Bee Foods, LLC and Subway in North
America, Princes, Rio Mare and Carrefour in Europe, and Hagoromo, Hoko and California
Garden in Japan and the Middle East.
Exported tuna products are produced in General Santos City in the same fully accredited
processing facilities that produce CNPF‘s tuna products for the Philippine market. For the
year ended December 31, 2013, the tuna export segment generated segment revenue of
₱5,862.7 million, or 31% of total CNPF combined revenue.
Competition
In CNPF‘s tuna export business, CNPF competes primarily on product quality. CNPF has
established long-term relationships with customers in this segment, in some cases spanning
decades, and believes that the goodwill and loyalty of its customers enhances its competitive
position in the tuna export market. According to data from the Philippine Bureau of Customs
(―BOC‖), as at December 31, 2013, CNPF held a 34% market share of the Philippine tuna
export business, making it the market leader. CNPF‘s biggest canned and processed fish
export competitor is PhilBest Canning Corporation, which held a 30% market share as at
December 31, 2013, according to the BOC. The remaining market shares are divided among
Alliance Select Foods International Inc., Ocean Canning Corporation, Seatrade Canning
Corporation and Celebes Canning Corporation, each of which held 10% or less of the market
share during the same period. CNPF also faces increasing competition from foreign tuna
processors such as Thai Union Group.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
Marketing
CNPF advertises through various media outlets in the Philippines, including television, radio,
newspaper, magazines and billboards to promote brand awareness for its various product
lines. CNPF‘s brand portfolio includes some of the most recognized brands in the Philippine
food industry, including Century, Argentina, 555, Angel and Birch Tree. Employing celebrity
spokespersons, CNPF‘s advertising team has delivered a series of intuitive and appealing ad-
campaigns to enhance brand recognition. CNPF supplements these initiatives with
promotional activities such as product bundling and sampling, and through its presence in
social media networks.
In addition, CNPF makes certain that its brands and products are under a general ‗health &
wellness‘ theme in order to fully promote its products‘ benefits and attract health conscious
consumers. For example, CNPF builds brand awareness through sponsorships and events such
as the Century Tuna Superbods competition, highlighting the health and wellness benefits of
their tuna products.
CNPF has tailored marketing plans for each one of its product lines across all of its product
categories. Based on micro-level and macro-level research of consumer habits and purchasing
trends conducted in-house and by third-party research agencies, CNPF identifies the target
consumer segment for each product and develops a marketing campaign to best reach the
target consumer. For example, in the all-purpose cream category, Angel Kremdensada is
marketed on a platform of value for money, convenience and taste, and the marketing
message positions the brand as a trusted product which offers taste, savings and convenience
for inexperienced cooks. Angel All-Purpose Creamer, on the other hand, is marketed on a
platform of superior taste and the marketing message positions the brand as a trusted product
154
which delivers superior taste and texture for experienced cooks at an affordable price.
Customized marketing strategies for each product enable CNPF to optimize brand positioning
and effectively convey its marketing messages to consumers.
CNPF has established dedicated business unit marketing teams across its various product
segments. CNPF also engages third-party advertising agencies for some of its marketing
campaigns.
Distribution
Domestic Distribution
Modern trade channels such as supermarkets and grocery stores account for more than 50% of
total sales for nearly all of CNPF‘s domestic product categories. CNPF‘s products are also
sold through general trade channels, including wet markets and sari-sari stores. CNPF
generally distributes its products directly to modern retail outlets and relies on third-party
distributors to distribute its products to wet markets and sari-sari stores. CNPF works closely
with its third-party distributors to increase penetration of general trade outlets, including
ensuring that distributors have access to the full range of CNPF products and are able to offer
the optimal product mix to general trade retailers. As the majority of domestic retail sales and
food services sales are made directly by the manufacturer, CNPF is able to reduce its
distribution costs and establish long-term relationships directly with retail customers. In
addition, CNPF is able to limit exposure to common risks associated with third-party
distributors by not being overly reliant on third-party distributors for its sales.
As at December 31, 2013, CNPF maintained 200 manufacturer direct-to-retail accounts
reaching 3,772 retail outlets ranging from hypermarkets to convenience stores. In addition, as
at December 31, 2013, CNPF held distribution agreements with 39 distributors reaching
approximately 225,168 retail outlets ranging from supermarkets to sari-sari stores. With
respect to its food services sales, CNPF served approximately 1,000 food outlets, maintained
100 manufacturer direct-to-customer accounts and 950 distributor-to-customer agreements as
at December 31, 2013.
As at December 31, 2013, CNPF leased 14 distribution depots and warehouses strategically
located throughout the Philippines. The map below shows the location of CNPF‘s distribution
depots and warehouses.
155
From these distribution depots and warehouses, CNPF‘s products are delivered to its
customers by third-party trucking companies. Under the contracts between CNPF and third-
party trucking companies, the risk of loss is typically borne by the trucking company once the
products leave CNPF‘s loading docks. In addition, the trucking companies are typically
required to arrange appropriate insurance for goods during transit and/or provide a bond as
guarantee for any damage or loss arising from the contractor‘s performance of its obligations.
International Distribution
While distribution is primarily through third-party distributors, the Company also distributes
its branded products, particularly to high growth markets such as China and Vietnam, through
its affiliates.
Century International (China) Company Limited and Century (Shanghai) Trading Company,
joint ventures between CCC and Thai Union Manufacturing Company, Ltd., as well as
Century Pacific Vietnam Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of CCC, have headquarters in
Beijing, Shanghai, and Vietnam respectively. These offices distribute the Company‘s branded
products to major cities in the region. The Company‘s products are carried by retailers such
as Carrefour, Walmart, Tesco Hymall, Metro and Auchan, among others. As of December 31,
2013, the Company‘s private label and branded products are distributed across the United
States, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

accounts. CNPF also provides customized products to various national and local chain
accounts in the food service segment.
QUALITY CONTROL, HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
CNPF is subject to a number of laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment and human health and safety, including those governing food safety, air
emissions, water and wastewater discharges, and odor emissions and the management and
disposal of hazardous materials.
CNPF applies its quality standards uniformly across all of its production facilities and quality
assurance personnel conduct periodic operational audits. CNPF seeks to reduce the risk of
contamination of its products through strict sanitation procedures and constant monitoring and
response. CNPF conducts quality analysis and quality control on each batch of products.
CNPF also conducts can-cutting, or opening of cans at random for product quality control, on
a monthly basis.
CNPF has earned a number of international accreditations for food safety and quality. CNPF
has been accredited by the US FDA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the British Retail
Consortium, the European Union, the Orthodox Union and the Islamic Dawah Council. In
addition, all of CNPF‘s processing facilities apply the HACCP plan, a management system
which addresses food safety through the analysis and control of biological, chemical and
physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling to manufacturing,
distribution and consumption of the finished product. CNPF‘s HACCP accreditation is
renewed on an annual basis and CNPF is subject to periodic safety audits. Furthermore,
CNPF‘s tuna processing facility has been certified by International Featured Standard (Food),
a globally recognized standard for auditing retailer and wholesaler branded food product
suppliers.
As at December 31, 2013, CNPF is in material compliance with applicable health, safety and
environmental laws. Expenses incurred by the Company for purposes of complying with
environmental laws consist primarily of investments in waste treatment and payments for
government regulatory fees that are standard in the industry. See ―Regulatory‖ for a more
detailed discussion of applicable health, safety and environmental laws.
Sustainability Efforts and Marine Wildlife Protection
CNPF is committed to the improved conservation and management of all tuna species. CNPF
sources tuna only from companies or fishing vessels that conform to the regulations
implemented by their respective regional fisheries management organizations. CNPF‘s tuna
suppliers have adopted bycatch (i.e. fish or other animals unintentionally caught in a fishery
while intending to catch other fish) avoidance and mitigation measures that conform to
international best practices. CNPF also supports and invests in tuna fishery improvement and
conservation initiatives to sustain livelihoods while minimizing environmental impact.
In addition, CNPF has implemented a documentation system which enables CNPF to trace the
fishing vessels, the fishing grounds and fishing gear associated with its fish supplies. This
system ensures that CNPF does not purchase tuna caught by vessels known or listed for
illegal, unregulated or unreported practices endangering marine mammals such as dolphins. In
addition, CNPF has been accredited as ―Dolphin Safe‖ by the Earth Island Institute, an

OVERVIEW OF THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY
The Philippine economy experienced steady growth with real GDP expanding at a compound
annual growth rate (―CAGR‖) of 4.8% from 2008 to 2012. According to the Economist
Intelligence Unit (―EIU‖), real GDP is expected to grow from U.S.$145.2 billion to
U.S.$195.6 billion from 2012 to 2017, representing a CAGR of 6.1%, supported by factors
such as increasing job creation and employment, increasing overseas remittances and an
expansion of exports. In May 2013, Standard & Poor‘s upgraded the credit rating of the
Philippines from ―BB+‖ to ―BBB-―, citing the country‘s strengthening external profile, the
moderating inflation, and the government‘s declining reliance on foreign currency debt,
indicating an overall rise in confidence in the Philippine economy. In October 2013, Moody‘s
Investors Service (―Moody‘s‖) also upgraded the rating of the Philippines from ―Ba1‖ to
―Baa3‖ and assigned a positive outlook to the rating. According to Moody‘s, the factors that
prompted the upgrade were the sustainability of the country‘s robust economic performance,
ongoing fiscal and debt consolidation, stability of the Philippines‘ funding conditions,
political stability and improved governance.

Key drivers of the Philippine domestic consumption have been rising personal disposal
income, a burgeoning middle-income class and a young demographic composition.
Rising personal disposable income and burgeoning middle-income class in the
Philippines
One of the key drivers for strong domestic consumption growth has been the rapid growth of
personal disposable income and the continually expanding middle-income class, defined as
households with annual disposable income of between US5,000 and US$50,000. According
to EIU, per capita personal disposable income in the Philippines grew at a CAGR of 4.8%
between 2008 and 2012 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.4% between 2012 and
2017. As a direct result of rising disposable income, the percentage of middle-income
households increased from 45% in 2008 to 53% in 2012 and is expected to increase to 64%
by 2017. The growth in personal disposable income and emergence of a burgeoning middle-
income class is expected to provide a strong foundation for the future consumption growth in
the Philippines.

Domestic canned tuna
The Philippines ranks 5th in tuna catch and 3
rd in canned tuna production worldwide.
According to AC Nielsen, the Philippine domestic canned tuna market is segmented into three
basic products:
Traditional: Basic Tuna flakes in either oil or water. Century Tuna leads this sub-segment.

Adobo, etc. 555 Tuna is the leading brand in Viands.

products. San Marino is the leader in corned tuna.

gaining importance due to its health benefits. Viands contributed 57% to the domestic canned
tuna category, traditional tuna contributed 26% and corned tuna had a contribution of 16% in

neighborhood sari-sari stores. The Zamboanga Peninsula is considered as the country‘s
sardine capital. The harvesting and processing of this fish has contributed substantially to the

Canned/preserved meat and meat products
The Philippine canned/preserved meat and meat products segment has experienced strong
growth in recent years and is expected to continue to do so going forward. The sales size of
canned/preserved meat and meat products is smaller than that of canned/preserved
fish/seafood although growth rates are expected to be slightly higher, in part due to faster
development of new products. According to Euromonitor, canned/preserved meat/meat

Key trends
Economy brands gaining momentum
Economy brands, which are priced lower than the major competitors, are gaining importance
in the Philippines as value for money is an important consideration when purchasing
products. Further, canned/processed food‘s affordability and ease of storage allow it to be
distributed effortlessly in sari-sari stores. This makes it a popular choice for lower- and
middle-income households.
Innovative products
Manufacturers have started to introduce more innovative products, in order to appeal to a
wider base of middle- and high-income consumers. Evolving from simple canned sardines,
tuna and corned beef, they have widened their lines through the addition of variants such as
corned tuna, tuna paella, mackerel steaks and milkfish. These new products are instrumental
in generating demand from middle- and high-income consumers, who are searching for new
products to try. The wide variety of products available in the local market encourages more
frequent consumption. More innovative variants also appeal to younger and more adventurous
consumers, who demand on-the-go meals.
Domestic vs. imported brands
Domestic manufacturers dominate canned/preserved food due to their long-standing presence
in the market and understanding of the tastes and preferences of local consumers. In 2011,
local companies held more than 70% of the retail value sales of canned/preserved food. On
the other hand, imported brands like Spam and Campbell‘s are also popular, though they cater
to a smaller consumer base, consisting of people who are willing to pay a higher price for
perceived higher-quality products.
Marketing and promotional strategies
Manufacturers are adopting aggressive marketing and promotional strategies to generate more
demand. Generally, Filipinos are willing to try brands which are endorsed by high-profile
celebrities. Thus manufacturers continue to invest in and benefit from celebrity endorsements.
Advertisements via the printed media, radio and television remain important in the promotion
of canned/preserved food. Blog sites and social media are quickly becoming a key to
advertise products and influence consumers. As such, bloggers are usually invited to product
launches. With an increasing level of internet penetration in the Philippines, consumers are
increasingly looking to bloggers for reviews and recommendations.
170
Brand differentiation
Brand differentiation has been a key strategy in the local competitive landscape, creating
different brand images to suit the profile of the target audience. For instance, CNPF‘s Century
Tuna is intended to appeal to people who are conscious about their physical appearance, while
555 is promoted as an ―affordable dish‖. Differentiation through advertising campaigns
allowed companies to set themselves apart and, at the same time, prevent product
commoditization.
Packaging
Packaging is also very important in the Philippine canned/preserved food industry, as it often
dictates the pricing scheme used by manufacturers. Small packaging, such as 100g packages,
has gained wider importance as consumers have shown a preference for affordable brands.
Other important packaging developments are the use of pouches instead of metal food cans
and easy-open cans for convenience.
TUNA EXPORTS
According to Euromonitor, the global fish/seafood export market has continued to grow
overtime. Health and wellness is the primary driver of seafood consumption as seafood is a
healthier alternative to meat.
The following chart shows the CAGR in expenditure of fish and seafood from 2008 to 2012.
Source: Euromonitor
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, moderate demand, low supplies and
rising prices have been the features of the global tuna market in 2013. Tuna prices have
increased further for delivery to Asian canners, indicating lower supplies than current
demand. Following this trend, canned tuna prices are also increasing. With the high skipjack
prices, many tuna packers have started adjusting their selling prices or reducing the product
content to absorb increasing production costs.
The canned tuna consumption has been declining in the United States over the years, which is
apparent in the declining imports, which dropped by 14.3% in volume in 2012. The import
value (U.S.$761.3 million), however, went up by 5.8% as a result of increasing tuna prices
worldwide.
171
Rising canned tuna prices have prompted EU importers to look for cheaper alternatives,
including products from African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries that have 0% import duty.
Thus, in 2012, canned tuna supplies from Côte d‘Ivoire and Papua New Guinea to the EU
increased by 31% and 38.5% respectively, which somewhat offset lower imports from
Thailand (-44.3%) and the Philippines (-7.8%). The overall imports of canned/preserved tuna
into the EU in 2012 were only down by 3.5% in quantity, but the value went up by more than
14.4% over that of 2011, amounting to 447,579 tons valued at U.S.$2.5 billion.
In early 2003, the EU agreed to increase the annual import quota for pre-cooked tuna loins to
22,000 tons from 15,000 tons at zero duty for three years. European canners, mainly in Spain,
quickly took almost all the allotted duty-free quota within the first quarter of the year, mainly
from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Philippine tuna export industry
According to the BOC, the total market size of the Philippine tuna export producers market
had reached U.S.$330 million in December 2013. Out of this, EU is the biggest importer of
Philippine tuna.

REGULATORY
HEALTH AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
The Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act
The Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (R.A. No. 3720), as amended by E.O. 175 and the Food
and Drug Administration Act of 2009 (R.A. No. 9711), seeks to ensure that safe and quality
food is available in the Philippines, and regulates the production, sale, and trade of food to
protect the health of the citizens. The Food and Drug Administration (―Philippine FDA‖) is
the governmental agency tasked to implement the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.
Under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, the following acts, among others, are prohibited:
the manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offering for sale, distribution,
transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertising, or sponsorship of any ―health
product‖ that is adulterated, unregistered or misbranded. (―Health product‖ means
food, drugs, cosmetics, devices, biologicals, vaccines, in-vitro diagnostic reagents,
and household/urban hazardous substances. On the other hand, ―Food‖ means any
processed substance which is intended for human consumption and includes drink for
man, beverages, chewing gum and any substances which have been used as an
ingredient in the manufacture, preparation or treatment of food.);
the adulteration or misbranding of any health product;
the refusal to permit entry to or inspection of premises or vehicles or to allow samples
to be collected for the purposes authorized under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act;
the alteration, mutilation, destruction, obliteration, or removal of the whole or any
part of the labeling of, or the doing of any other act with respect to health products if
such act is done while the article is held for sale (whether or not the first sale) and
results in the article being adulterated or misbranded;
the manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offering for sale, distribution,
transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertisement, or sponsorship of any health
product which, although requiring registration, is not registered with the Philippine
FDA;
the manufacture, importation, exportation, transfer or distribution of any food,
cosmetic or household/urban hazardous substance by any natural or juridical person
without the license to operate from the Philippine FDA; and
the sale, offering for sale, importation, exportation, distribution, or transfer of any
health product beyond its expiration or expiry date, if applicable.
Any person who commits any of the prohibited acts stated above shall, upon conviction,
suffer the penalty of imprisonment ranging from one (1) year but not more than ten (10) years
or a fine of not less than ₱50,000.00 but not more than ₱500,000.00, or both, at the discretion
of the court. If the offender is a manufacturer, importer or distributor of any health product,
the penalty of at least five (5) years imprisonment but not more than ten (10) years and a fine
of at least ₱500,000.00 but not more than ₱5,000,000.00 shall be imposed. Further, an
additional fine of 1% of the economic value/cost of the violative product or violation, or
₱1,000.00, whichever is higher, shall be imposed for each day of continuing violation.
Furthermore, health products found in violation of the provisions of the Food, Drug and
Cosmetics Act and other relevant laws, rules and regulations may be seized and held in
custody pending proceedings, without a hearing or court order, when the director general of
the Philippine FDA has reasonable cause to believe from facts found by him or an authorized
177
officer or employee of the Philippine FDA that such health products may cause injury or
prejudice to the consuming public.
Designated officers or employees of the Department of Health (―DOH‖), for purposes of
enforcing of the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, are authorized to enter, at reasonable hours,
any factory, warehouse, or establishment in which food, drugs, devices, or cosmetics are
manufactured, processed, packed, or held for introduction into domestic commerce and to
inspect, in a reasonable manner, such factory, warehouse, establishment, or vehicle and all
pertinent equipment, finished or unfinished materials, containers, and labeling therein.
When there is a finding of prohibited actions and determination of the persons liable thereto,
after notice and hearing, the director-general may impose one or more of the following
administrative penalties: (1) the cancellation of any authorization which may have been
granted by the Philippine FDA, or suspension of the validity thereof which shall not exceed 1
year, (2) a fine of not less than ₱50,000.00 but not more than ₱500,000.00, and (c) the
destruction and/or appropriate disposition of the subject health product and/or closure of the
establishment for any violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act,
as amended by E.O. 175 and the Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009.
The Consumer Act
The Consumer Act (R.A. No. 7394) establishes quality and safety standards with respect to
the composition, contents, packaging, and advertisement of food products. It is directed to
achieve the following objectives: (1) to protect consumers against hazards to health and
safety, (2) to protect consumers against deceptive, unfair, and unconscionable sales acts and
practices, (3) to provide consumers information and education to facilitate sound choice and
the proper exercise of rights, (4) to provide consumers with adequate rights and means of
redress, and (5) to involve consumer representatives in the formulation of social and
economic policies.
The Consumer Act, in furtherance of its objectives, regulates the use of weights and
measures, advertisements and sales promotions, labeling and packaging, credit transactions,
and product and service warranties of food products. It prohibits, among other acts, the
adulteration and misbranding of food products and the manufacture, importation, exportation,
sale, offering for sale, distribution, and transfer of food products that are adulterated or
misbranded or do not conform to applicable consumer product quality or safety standards. A
food is deemed adulterated if, among others, it contains any poisonous or deleterious
substance, it is prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions, it contains substances
to increase its bulk or weight, reduce its quality or strength, or make it appear better or of
greater value than it is, or its damage or inferiority is concealed in any manner.
The Consumer Act imposes a penalty of imprisonment of not less than one year but not more
than five years, or a fine of not less than ₱5,000.00 but not more than ₱10,000.00, or both, at
the discretion of the court. The chairman of the board of directors, president, general
manager, partners, and persons directly responsible for the offense, if committed by a
juridical person, shall be penalized.
The implementing agencies tasked to enforce the Consumer Act are the DOH, the Department
of Agriculture (―DA‖), and the Department of Trade and Industry (―DTI‖).
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Consumer Act.
178
The Food Safety Act
The Food Safety Act of 2013 (R.A. No. 10611) seeks to strengthen the food safety regulatory
system in the Philippines by principally delineating the mandates and responsibilities of the
concerned government agencies. The National Dairy Authority, National Meat Inspection
Service (―NMIS‖), and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources under the DA are the
government agencies responsible for the development and enforcement of food safety
standards and regulations in the primary production and post-harvest stages for milk, meats,
and fish, respectively, while the Philippine FDA under the DOH is responsible for the safety
of processed and pre-packaged foods. The Food Safety Act created the Food Safety
Regulation Coordinating Board to monitor and coordinate the performance and
implementation of the mandates of the government agencies under the law.
Under the Food Safety Act, food business operators or those who undertake to carry out any
of the stages of the food supply chain are held principally responsible in ensuring that their
products satisfy the requirements of the law and that control systems are in place to prevent,
eliminate, or reduce risks to consumers.
For the enforcement of the Food Safety Act, the food safety regulatory agencies are
authorized to perform regular inspection of food business operators taking into consideration
the (1) compliance with mandatory safety standards, (2) implementation of the HACCP or the
science-based system that identifies, evaluates, and controls hazards for food safety at critical
points, (3) good manufacturing practices, and (4) other requirements of regulations.
The Food Safety Act prohibits, among others, the following acts:
refusal of access to pertinent records or entry of inspection officers of the food safety
regulatory agencies;
production, handling or manufacturing for sale, offering for sale, distribution in
commerce, or importation of any food or food product, which is declared as banned
or is not in conformity with applicable quality or safety standard;
Adulteration, misbranding, mislabeling, false advertisement of any food product
which misleads the consumers and carry out any other acts contrary to good
manufacturing practices;
Operation of a food business without the appropriate authorization
For the first conviction of any of the prohibited acts under the Food Safety Act, a fine of not
less than ₱50,000.00 but not more than ₱100,000.00 and suspension of appropriate
authorization for one month shall be imposed. For the second conviction, a fine of not less
than ₱100,000.00 but not more than ₱200,000.00 and suspension for three months shall be
imposed. For the third conviction, a fine of not less than ₱200,000.00 but not more than
₱300,000.00 and suspension for six months shall be imposed. The penalties shall be also be
imposed when the violation results in the physical injuries or death of a person.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Food Safety Act.
The Philippine Fisheries Code
The Philippine Fisheries Code (R.A. No. 8550) declares food security as the overriding
consideration in the utilization, management, development, conservation, and protection of
fishery resources in order to provide the food needs of the population. It regulates the conduct
of fishery activities for the conservation, protection, and sustained management of the
179
country‘s fishery and aquatic resources, poverty alleviation and the provision of
supplementary livelihood among municipal fisherfolk, improvement of productivity of
aquaculture, optimal utilization of off-shore and deep-sea resources, and upgrading of post-
harvest technology.
Under the Fisheries Code, all post-harvest facilities such as fish processing plants, ice plants
and cold storages, fish ports/landings and other fishery business establishments must register
with and be licensed by the LGUs which shall prescribe minimum standards for such
facilities.
The Fisheries Code regulates the exportation of fishery products whenever such exportation
affects domestic food security and production. The exportation of live fish shall be prohibited
except those which are hatched or propagated in accredited hatcheries and ponds. Fishery
products may be imported only upon certification by the DA that the importation is necessary
and all the requirements of the Fisheries Code and existing rules and regulations have been
complied with. Importation for canning or processing purposes may be allowed without the
certification, provided, a permit is secured from the DA. No person shall import and/or export
fishery products of whatever size, stage or form for any purpose without securing a permit
from the DA.
Any importation or exportation of fish or fisheries species in violation of the Fisheries Code
shall be punished by eight years of imprisonment, a fine of ₱80,000.00 and destruction of live
fishery species or forfeiture of non-lived fishery species. Any violator shall be banned from
being members or stockholders of companies engaged in fisheries.
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (―BFAR‖) under the DA sets policies and
formulates standards for the effective, efficient, and economical operation of the fishing
industry and exercises overall supervision over functions and activities of all offices and
instrumentalities and other offices related to fisheries. The BFAR is responsible for the
establishment and implementation of an inspection system for the import and export of fish
and fishery or aquatic products and fish processing establishments in order to ensure product
quality and safety.
The Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils (―FARMCs‖) formed in the
national and local levels by fisherfolk organizations, cooperatives, and non-government
organizations in localities assist in the preparation of fishery development plans and
enforcement of fishery laws, rules, and regulations.
For the purposes of enforcement of the Philippine Fisheries Code, the law enforcement
officers of the DENR, the Philippine Navy, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine National
Police (―PNP‖), PNP-Maritime Command, law enforcement officers of the local government
units, and other government enforcement agencies, are authorized to enforce the Code and
other fishery laws, rules and regulations
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Philippine Fisheries Code.
The Meat Inspection Code
The Meat Inspection Code (R.A. No. 9296), as amended, applies to all meat establishments
where food animals are slaughtered, prepared, processed, handled, packed or stored or sold. It
establishes safety and quality standards for meats derived from domestic animals slaughtered
for human consumption, including pork, beef, and chicken meat products. The NMIS, a
specialized regulatory service attached to the DA, serves as the national controlling authority
tasked with implementing policies, programs, guidelines, and rules and regulations pertaining
180
to meat inspection and meat hygiene to ensure meat safety and quality from farm to table. On
the other hand, the local government units, in accordance with existing laws, policies, rules
and regulations, and quality and safety standards of the DA, have the authority to regulate the
construction, management, and operation of slaughterhouses, meat inspection, and meat
transport within their respective jurisdictions, and to collect fees and charges in connection
therewith.
The Meat Inspection Code requires the inspection of food animals and the carcasses and parts
thereof that are capable of use as human food. Only meat or meat products that have passed
inspection and have been marked may be sold, offered for sale, or transported. The Meat
Inspection Code also provides for the inspection of slaughterhouses, poultry dressing plants,
and meat shops to ensure compliance with existing laws, policies, and safety standards.
All meat establishments are required to adopt good manufacturing practices and sanitation
standard operating procedures programs for the production, storage, and distribution of meat
products and to comply with all pollution control and environmental laws and regulations
relating to the disposal of carcasses and parts thereof.
Any meat or meat products which is placed or packed in any can, pot, tin, canvas, other
receptacle or covering must be properly labeled, under the supervision of an inspector. The
label shall state that the contents thereof have been "Inspected and Passed". No examination
and inspection of sealed meat and meat products shall be deemed to be complete until such
products have been sealed or enclosed. No meat and meat products shall be sold or offered for
sale by any person, firm or corporation, under any name or other marking or labeling which is
false or misleading, or in any container of a misleading form or size. Established trade names
and other marking and labeling and containers which are not false or misleading and
approved by the secretary of the DA are permitted.
Under the Meat and Inspection Code, the following acts, among others, are prohibited:
slaughter any food animal or prepare meat or meat product in any meat establishment
except in compliance with the requirements of the Meat and Inspection Code;
slaughter or handle in connection with slaughter, any food animal in a manner not
considered humane;
sell, transport, offer or receive for sale or transportation in commerce carcasses or
parts thereof, meat or meat product required to be inspected, unless they have been so
inspected and passed;
do any act while they are being transported in commerce or held for sale, which is
intended to cause or has the effect of causing such articles to be adulterated or
misbranded.
Any person, who commits any of the prohibited acts or violates any of the Meat Inspection
Code, shall be punished by imprisonment of not less than six (6) years and one (1) day but not
more than twelve (12) years or a fine of not less than ₱100,000.00 but not more than
₱1,000,000.00 or both such fine and imprisonment. The offender is obliged to pay to the
concerned consumer whatever damage may have been suffered by the latter as a consequence
of the unlawful act. In addition, the NMIS and the LGUs imposes administrative fines and
penalties.
Further, a cease and desist order may be issued by the secretary of the DA to any person, firm,
or corporation engaged, in the business of slaughtering food animals, or preparing, freezing,
packaging, storing, or labeling any carcasses or parts or products of carcasses for use as
human food, found to be in violation of any of the provisions of the Meat and Inspection
181
Code, should the continued operation of the said entity, pose risks to public health and
endanger the animal population.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Meat Inspection Code.
The Price Act
The Price Act (R.A. No. 7581) provides for price controls for basic necessities and prime
commodities in certain situations. Basic necessities include rice, corn, bread, fish, dried and
canned fish and other marine products, fresh vegetables, pork, beef, poultry, milk, coffee,
cooking oil, salt, laundry soap, and detergents while prime commodities include flour, dried,
processed and canned pork, beef and poultry meat, other dairy products, toilet soap, paper,
school supplies, electrical supplies, and batteries, among others. Under the Price Act, the
prices of basic commodities are automatically frozen in areas declared as disaster areas, under
emergency or martial law or in a state or rebellion or war. Unless lifted by the President of the
Philippines, prices shall remain the same for a maximum of 60 days. The President of the
Philippines may likewise impose a price ceiling on basic necessities and prime commodities
in cases of calamities, emergencies, price manipulation, or when the prevailing prices have
risen to unreasonable levels.
The Price Act considers it unlawful for any person habitually engaged in the production,
manufacture, importation, storage, transport, distribution, sale, or other methods of
disposition of goods to engage in price manipulation of any basic necessity or prime
commodity through cartels, hoarding, or profiteering.
The DA, DENR, DOH, and the DTI are the implementing agencies responsible for the
enforcement of the provisions of the Price Act. The implementing government agencies of the
Price Act are granted the authority thereunder to issue suggested retail prices, whenever
necessary, for certain basic necessities and/or prime commodities for the information and
guidance of concerned trade, industry, and consumer sectors.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Price Act.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System
The Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System was established by virtue of
Presidential Decree 1586. Development projects that are classified by law as environmentally
critical or projects within statutorily defined environmentally critical areas are required to
obtain an Environmental Compliance Certificate (―ECC‖) prior to project construction and
operation. Through its regional offices or through the Environmental Management Bureau
(―EMB‖), the DENR determines whether a project is environmentally critical or located in an
environmentally critical area. As a prerequisite for the issuance of an ECC, an
environmentally critical project is required to submit an Environmental Impact Statement
(―EIS‖) to the EMB while a project in an environmentally critical area is generally required to
submit an Initial Environmental Examination (―IEE‖) to the proper DENR regional office,
without prejudice to the power of the DENR to require a more detailed EIS.
The EIS refers to both the document and the environmental impact assessment of a project,
including a discussion of direct and indirect consequences to human welfare and ecology as
well as environmental integrity. The IEE refers to the document and the study describing the
environmental impact, including mitigation and enhancement measures, for projects in
environmentally critical areas.
182
While the terms and conditions of an EIS or an IEE may vary from project to project, at a
minimum, they contain all relevant information regarding the environmental effects of a
project. The entire process of organization, administration and assessment of the effects of
any project on the quality of the physical, biological and socio-economic environment as well
as the design of appropriate preventive, mitigating and enhancement measures is known as
the EIS system. The EIS system successfully culminates in the issuance of an ECC. The ECC
is a government certification that (1) the proposed project or undertaking will not cause a
significant negative environmental impact, (2) the proponent has complied with all the
requirements of the EIS system, and (3) the proponent is committed to implement its
approved environmental management plan in the EIS or, if an IEE was required, that it will
comply with the mitigation measures suggested therein. The ECC contains specific measures
and conditions that the project proponent must undertake before and during the operation of a
project, and in some cases, during the abandonment phase of the project to mitigate identified
environmental impact.
Project proponents that prepare an EIS are required to establish an Environmental Guarantee
Fund (―EGF‖) when the ECC is issued to projects determined by the DENR to pose
significant public risks to life, health, property and the environment. The EGF is intended to
answer for damages caused by such projects as well as any rehabilitation and restoration
measures. Project proponents that prepare an EIS are mandated to include a commitment to
establish an Environmental Monitoring Fund (―EMF‖) when an ECC is eventually issued.
The EMF shall be used to support activities of a multi-partite monitoring team that will be
organized to monitor compliance with the ECC and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
The Company incurs expenses for the purposes of complying with environmental laws that
consist primarily of payments for government regulatory fees.
In certain instances, the EMB may determine and issue a certification that a certain project is
not covered by the EIS System and an ECC is not required. Consequently, a Certificate of
Non-Coverage (―CNC‖) may be issued in lieu of an ECC.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Philippine Environmental
Impact Statement System.
Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act
The Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act (R.A. No. 6969) mandates
control and management of import, manufacture, process, distribution, use, transport,
treatment and disposal of toxic substances and hazardous and nuclear wastes. It seeks to
protect public health and the environment from unreasonable risks posed by these substances.
Hazardous Waste Generators, i.e. persons (natural or juridical) who generate or produce
hazardous wastes, through any commercial, industrial or trade activities, are required to
register with the EMB Regional Office having jurisdiction over the location of the waste
generator. A DENR I.D. Number shall be issued upon registration.
This is a one-time permit unless there is a change in the hazardous wastes produced.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Toxic Substances, Hazardous
and Nuclear Wastes Control Act.
Clean Air Act
183
The Clean Air Act of 1999 focuses primarily on pollution prevention and provides for a
comprehensive management program for air pollution.
Consistent with the policies of the Clean Air Act, all stationary sources of air pollution that
have the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more of any regulated air pollutant, or when
required under the ECC, must secure an Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate from
the EMB prior to commencement of construction or operation.
The Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate is a one-time permit while the permit to
operate must be renewed yearly.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Clean Air Act.
LABOR LEGISLATION
The Labor Code
The Philippine Labor Code and other statutory enactments provide the minimum benefits that
employers must grant to their employees, which include certain social security benefits, such
as benefits mandated by the Social Security Act of 1997 (R.A. No. 8282), the National Health
Insurance Act of 1995 (R.A. No. 7875), as amended, and the Home Development Fund Law
of 2009 (R.A. No. 9679).
Under the Social Security Act of 1997, social security coverage is compulsory for all
employees under 60 years of age. An employer is obligated to deduct and withhold from each
employee's monthly salary, wage, compensation or earnings, the employee's contribution; and
the employer, for its part, makes a counterpart contribution for the employee, and remits both
amounts to the Social Security System (―SSS‖). This enables the employees to claim their
pension, death benefits, permanent disability benefits, funeral benefits, sickness benefits and
maternity-leave benefits. The Social Security Act of 1997 imposes penal sanctions if an
employer fails to remit the contributions to the SSS. For corporate employers, the penalty is
imposed on its president and members of the board of directors.
The National Health Insurance Act created the National Health Insurance Program (―NHIP‖)
to provide health insurance coverage and ensure affordable and accessible health care services
to all Filipino citizens. Under the law, all members of the SSS are automatically members of
the NHIP. The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (―PhilHealth‖) administers the NHIP,
and an employer is required to deduct and withhold the contributions from the employee‘s
salary, wage or earnings, make a counterpart contribution for the employee, and remit both
amounts to PhilHealth. The NHIP will then subsidize personal health services required by the
employee subject to certain terms and conditions under the law. The National Health
Insurance Act likewise imposes penal sanctions if an employer does not remit the
contributions to PhilHealth. For corporate employers, the penalty is imposed on its president
and members of the board of directors.
The Home Development Fund Law (R.A. No. 9679) or the Pag-IBIG Fund Law, created the
Home Development Mutual Fund (―HDMF‖), a national savings program as well as a fund to
provide for affordable shelter financing to Filipino workers. Coverage under the HDMF is
compulsory for all SSS members and their employers. Under the law, an employer must
deduct and withhold 2% of the employee's monthly compensation, up to a maximum of
₱5,000.00, and likewise make a counterpart contribution of 2% of the employee's monthly
compensation, and remit the contributions to the HDMF. The Pag-IBIG Fund Law also
imposes penal sanctions if the employer does not remit the contributions to the HDMF.
184
The Philippine Labor Code provides that, in the absence of a retirement plan provided by
their employers, private-sector employees who have reached 60 years of age or more, but not
beyond 65 years of age, the compulsory retirement age for private-sector employees without a
retirement plan, and who have rendered at least five years of service in an establishment, may
retire and receive a minimum retirement pay equivalent to one-half month's salary for every
year of service, with a fraction of at least six months being considered as one whole year. For
the purpose of computing the retirement pay, "one-half month's salary" shall include all of the
following: fifteen days salary based on the latest salary rate; in addition, one-twelfth of the
thirteenth month pay and the cash equivalent of five days of service incentive leave pay.
Other benefits may be included in the computation of the retirement pay upon agreement of
the employer and the employee or if provided in a collective bargaining agreement.
The Company has no pending material case in relation to the Labor Code.
185

shares, provided that the change is approved by a majority of the board of directors of such
corporation and shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding
capital shares of the corporation voting at a shareholders‘ meeting duly called for the purpose.
201
A corporation is empowered to acquire its own shares for a legitimate corporate purpose,
provided that the corporation has unrestricted retained earnings or surplus profits sufficient to
pay for the shares to be acquired. Examples of instances in which the corporation is
empowered to purchase its own shares are: when the elimination of fractional shares arising
out of share dividends is necessary or desirable, the purchase of shares of dissenting
shareholders exercising their appraisal right (as discussed below) and the collection or
compromise of an indebtedness arising out of an unpaid subscription. When a corporation
repurchases its own shares, the shares become treasury shares, which may be resold at a price
fixed by the board of directors of such corporation.
Voting Rights
Under the Company‘s amended articles of incorporation, the owners or holders of Common
Shares have full voting rights. However, the Philippine Corporation Code provides that voting
rights cannot be exercised with respect to shares declared by the board of directors as
delinquent, treasury shares, or if the shareholder has elected to exercise his right of appraisal
as discussed below.
Pre-Emptive Rights
The Philippine Corporation Code confers pre-emptive rights on the existing shareholders of a
Philippine corporation which entitle such shareholders to subscribe to all issues or other
dispositions of shares of any class by the corporation in proportion to their respective
shareholdings, regardless of whether the shares proposed to be issued or otherwise disposed
of are identical to the shares held. A Philippine corporation may, however, provide for the
denial of these pre-emptive rights in its articles of incorporation. Likewise, shareholders who
are entitled to such pre-emptive rights may waive the same through a written instrument to
that effect.
The amended articles of incorporation of the Company deny the pre-emptive rights of its
shareholders to subscribe to any or all dispositions of any class of shares.
Derivative Rights
Philippine law recognizes the right of a shareholder to institute proceedings on behalf of the
corporation in a derivative action in circumstances where the corporation itself is unable or
unwilling to institute the necessary proceedings to redress wrongs committed against the
corporation or to vindicate corporate rights as, for example, where the directors of the
corporation themselves are the malefactors.
Appraisal Rights
The Philippine Corporation Code grants a shareholder a right of appraisal and demand
payment of the fair value of his shares in certain circumstances where he has dissented and
voted against a proposed corporate action, including:
an amendment of the articles of incorporation which has the effect of adversely
affecting the rights attached to his shares or of authorizing preferences in any respect
superior to those of outstanding shares of any class;
the extension of the term of corporate existence;
202
the sale, lease, exchange, transfer, mortgage, pledge or other disposal of all or
substantially all the assets of the corporation;
a merger or consolidation; and
investment by the corporation of funds in any other corporation or business or for any
purpose other than the primary purpose for which it was organized.
In any of these circumstances, the dissenting shareholder may require the corporation to
purchase its shares at a fair value, which, in default of agreement, is determined by three
disinterested persons, one of whom shall be named by the shareholder, one by the
corporation, and the third by the two thus chosen. Regional Trial Courts will, in the event of a
dispute, determine any question about whether a dissenting shareholder is entitled to this right
of appraisal. From the time the shareholder makes a demand for payment until the corporation
purchases such shares, all rights accruing on the shares, including voting and dividend rights,
shall be suspended, except the right of the shareholder to receive the fair value of such shares.
No payment shall be made to any dissenting shareholder unless the corporation has
unrestricted retained earnings sufficient to support the purchase of the shares of the dissenting
shareholders.
Board of Directors
Unless otherwise provided by law or in the articles of incorporation, the corporate powers of
the Company are exercised, its business is conducted, and its property is controlled by the
Board. Pursuant to its articles of incorporation, as amended, the Company shall have seven
Directors, two of whom are independent Directors within the meaning set forth in Section 38
of the SRC. The Board shall be elected during each regular meeting of shareholders, at which
shareholders representing at least a majority of the issued and outstanding capital shares of
the Company are present, either in person or by proxy.
Directors may only act collectively; individual directors have no power as such. Four
directors, which is a majority of the Directors, constitute a quorum for the transaction of
corporate business. In general, every decision of a majority of the quorum duly assembled as
a Board is valid as a corporate act.
Any vacancy created by the death, resignation or removal of a director prior to expiration of
such director‘s term shall be filled by a vote of at least a majority of the remaining members
of the Board, if still constituting a quorum, Otherwise, the vacancy must be filled by the
shareholders at a meeting duly called for the purpose. Any director elected in this manner by
the Board shall serve only for the unexpired term of the director whom such director replaces
and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
Shareholders’ Meetings
Annual or Regular Shareholders’ Meetings
The Philippine Corporation Code requires all Philippine corporations to hold an annual
meeting of shareholders for corporate purposes including the election of directors. The by-
laws of the Company provide for annual meetings every June 30 of each year to be held at the
principal office of the Company and at such hour as specified in the notice.
203
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
Special meetings of shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may at any time be called by
either the President or a majority of the Board of Directors, whenever he or they shall deem it
necessary.
Notice of Shareholders’ Meeting
Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written
notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and time of the meeting,
and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The Company by-laws provide
that notices of the time and place of the annual and special meetings of the shareholders shall
be given either by mailing the same enclosed in a postage-prepaid envelope, addressed to
each shareholder of record at the address left by such shareholder with the Secretary of the
Corporation, or at his last known post-office address, or by delivering the same to him in
person, at least one week before the date set for such meeting. Notice to any special meeting
must state, among others, the matters to be taken up in the said meeting, and no other business
shall be transacted at such meeting except by consent of all the shareholders present, entitled
to vote. No notice of meeting need be published in any newspaper, except when necessary to
comply with the special requirements of the Philippine Corporation Code. Shareholders
entitled to vote may, by written consent, waive notice of the time, place and purpose of any
meeting of shareholders and any action taken at such meeting pursuant to such waiver shall be
valid and binding. When the meeting of the shareholders is adjourned to another time or
place, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be provided so long as the time and place to
which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. At the reconvened meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been
transacted on the original date of the meeting.
Quorum
Unless otherwise provided by an existing shareholders‘ agreement or by law, in all regular or
special meeting of shareholders, a majority of the outstanding capital shares must be present
or represented in order to constitute a quorum, except in those cases where the Philippine
Corporation Code provides a greater percentage vis-à-vis the total outstanding capital shares.
If no quorum is constituted, the meeting shall be adjourned until the requisite amount of
shares shall be presented.
Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or, in his
absence, by absence chairman to be chosen by the Board of Directors. The Corporate
Secretary, or, in his absence, any person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall act
as secretary of such meeting.
Voting
At all meetings of shareholders, a holder of Common Shares may vote in person or by proxy,
for each share held by such shareholder. Each Common Share is equal in all respects to every
other Common Share. All the Common Shares have full voting and dividend rights.
Fixing Record Dates
Under existing SEC rules, cash dividends declared by corporations whose shares are listed on
the PSE shall have a record date which shall not be less than 10 or more than 30 days from
the date of declaration. With respect to share dividends, the record date shall not be less than
204
10 or more than 30 days from the date of shareholder approval; provided, however, that the
record date set shall not be less than 10 trading days from receipt by the PSE of the notice of
declaration of share dividends. In the event that share dividends are declared in connection
with an increase in the authorized capital shares, the corresponding record date shall be fixed
by the SEC.
Matters Pertaining to Proxies
Shareholders may vote at all meetings the number of shares registered in their respective
names, either in person or by proxy duly given in writing and duly presented to the Corporate
Secretary at least 10 days before the meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the proxy, it shall
be valid only for the meeting at which it has been presented to the Corporate Secretary.
Proxies should comply with the relevant provisions of the Philippine Corporation Code, the
SRC, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the SRC (as amended), and regulations
issued by the SEC.
Dividends
The Common Shares have full dividend rights. Dividends on the Company‘s Common
Shares, if any, are paid in accordance with Philippine law. Dividends are payable to all
shareholders on the basis of outstanding Common Shares held by them, each Common Share
being entitled to the same unit of dividend as any other Common Share. Dividends are
payable to shareholders whose names are recorded in the stock and transfer book as of the
record date fixed by the Company‘s Board of Directors. The PSE has an established
mechanism for distribution of dividends to beneficial owners of Common Shares which are
traded through the PSE which are lodged with the PCD Nominee as required for scripless
trading.
Under Philippine law, a corporation can only declare dividends to the extent that it has
unrestricted retained earnings that represent the undistributed earnings of the corporation
which have not been allocated for any managerial, contractual or legal purposes and which
are free for distribution to the shareholders as dividends. A corporation may pay dividends in
cash, by the distribution of property or by the issuance of shares. Dividends may be declared
by the board of directors except for share dividends which may only be declared and paid
with the approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the issued and
outstanding capital shares of the corporation voting at a shareholders‘ meeting duly called for
the purpose.
The Philippine Corporation Code generally requires a Philippine corporation with retained
earnings in excess of 100% of its paid-in capital to declare and distribute as dividends the
amount of such surplus. However, a Philippine corporation may retain all or any portion of
such surplus in the following cases: (1) when justified by definite expansion plans approved
by the board of directors of the corporation; (2) when the required consent of any financing
institution or creditor to such distribution has not been secured; (3) when retention is
necessary under special circumstances, such as when there is a need for special reserves for
probable contingencies; or (4) when the non-distribution of dividends is consistent with the
policy or requirement of a Government office. Philippine corporations whose securities are
listed on any shares exchange are required to maintain and distribute an equitable balance of
cash and share dividends, consistent with the needs of shareholders and the demands for
growth or expansion of the business.
205
The Company has approved a dividend policy of maintaining an annual cash and/or share
dividend pay-out of up to 30% of its net profit from the preceding year, subject to the
requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the terms and conditions of its outstanding
bonds and loan facilities, and the absence of circumstances that may restrict the payment of
such dividends, such as where the Company undertakes major projects and developments.
Dividends must be approved by the Board and may be declared only from the unrestricted
retained earnings of the Company. The Company‘s Board of Directors may, at any time,
modify the Company‘s dividend policy, depending upon the Company‘s capital expenditure
plans and/or any terms of financing facilities entered into to fund its current and future
operations and projects. The Company can give no assurance that it will pay any dividends in
the future.
Preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series as the Board of
Directors, through a resolution, may determine, and authority has been expressly granted to
the Board of Directors to establish and designate each particular series of preferred shares, to
fix the number of shares to be included in each of such series, and to determine the dividend
rate, price, amount of participation, and other terms and conditions of each such shares, which
resolution(s) shall thereupon be deemed a part of these articles of incorporation.
Transfer of Shares and Share Register
All transfers of shares on the PSE shall be effected by means of a book-entry system. Under
the book-entry system of trading and settlement, a registered shareholder shall transfer legal
title over the shares to a nominee, but retains beneficial ownership over the shares. The
transfer of legal title is done by surrendering the stock certificate representing the shares to
participants of the PDTC System (i.e., brokers and custodian banks) that, in turn, lodge the
same with the PCD Nominee Corporation, a corporation wholly-owned by the PDTC (the
―PCD Nominee‖). A shareholder may request upliftment of the shares from the PDTC, in
which case a stock certificate will be issued to the shareholder and the shares registered in the
shareholder‘s name in the books of the Company. See ―The Philippine Stock Market‖.
Philippine law does not require transfers of the Common Shares to be effected on the PSE,
but any off-exchange transfers will subject the transferor to a capital gains tax that may be
significantly greater than the share transfer tax applicable to transfers effected on the PSE.
See ―Philippine Taxation‖. All transfers of shares on the PSE must be effected through a
licensed stockbroker in the Philippines.
There is no provision in the Company‘s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended,
which may delay, deter, or prevent a change in control in the Company.
Issues of Shares
Subject to otherwise applicable limitations, the Company may issue additional Common
Shares to any person for consideration deemed fair by the Board, provided that such
consideration shall not be less than the par value of the issued Common Shares. No share
certificates shall be issued to a subscriber until the full amount of the subscription together
with interest and expenses (in case of delinquent Common Shares) has been paid and proof of
payment of the applicable taxes shall have been submitted to the Company‘s Corporate
Secretary. Under the PSE Rules, only fully-paid shares may be listed on the PSE.
206
Recent sales of unregistered or exempt securities (including recent issuance of securities
constituting an exempt transaction)
On February 8, 2014, Century Canning Corporation subscribed for an additional 500,000,000
Common Shares at the aggregate subscription price of ₱500,000,000.00, thereby increasing
its shareholdings in the Company from 1,499,999,993 Common Shares to 1,999,999,993
Common Shares. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or
indirectly in connection with such subscription. Other than as described herein, there have
been no sales of unregistered or exempt securities, or any issuances of securities constituting
an exempt transaction.
The sale of capital stock of a corporation to its own stockholders exclusively, where no
commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly in connection with
the sale of such capital stock is a transaction exempt from registration under Section 10.1(e)
of the SRC, and no notice or confirmation of exemption is required to be filed for such
transaction.
Share Certificates
Certificates representing the Common Shares will be issued in such denominations as
shareholders may request, except that certificates will not be issued for fractional shares.
Shareholders wishing to split their certificates may do so upon application to the Company‘s
share transfer agent, BDO Unibank, Inc. – Trust Banking Group, which will maintain the
share register. Common Shares may also be lodged and maintained under the book-entry
system of the PDTC. See ―The Philippine Stock Market‖.
Fundamental Matters
The Philippine Corporation Code provides that certain significant acts may only be
implemented with shareholders‘ approval. The following require the approval of shareholders
representing at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding capital shares (including non-
voting preferred shares) of the corporation in a meeting duly called for the purpose:
amendment of the articles of incorporation;
removal of directors;
sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge or other disposition of all or a substantial part
of the assets of the corporation;
investment of corporate funds in any other corporation or business or for any purpose
other than the primary purpose for which the corporation was organized;
declaration or issuance of share dividends;
delegation to the board of directors of the power to amend or repeal by-laws or adopt
new by-laws;
merger or consolidation;
dissolution;
an increase or decrease in capital shares;
ratification of a contract of a directors or officer with the corporation;
extension or shortening of the corporate term;
creation or increase of bonded indebtedness; and
207
management contracts with related parties;
The approval of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding capital shares of a
Philippine corporation, including the non-voting preferred shares, is required for the adoption
or amendment of the by-laws of such corporation.
Accounting and Auditing Requirements
Philippine stock corporations are required to file copies of their annual financial statements
with the SEC. In addition, public corporations are required to file quarterly financial
statements (for the first three quarters) with the SEC. Those corporations whose shares are
listed on the PSE are additionally required to file said quarterly and annual financial
statements with the PSE. Shareholders are entitled to request copies of the most recent
financial statements of the corporation which include a statement of financial position as of
the end of the most recent tax year and a profit and loss statement for that year. Shareholders
are also entitled to inspect and examine the books and records that the corporation is required
by law to maintain.
The Board is required to present to shareholders at every annual meeting a financial report of
the operations of the Company for the preceding year. This report is required to include
audited financial statements.
208
THE PHILIPPINE STOCK MARKET
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available
documents which have not been prepared or independently verified by the Company, the Joint
Lead Underwriters or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or advisors in connection
with the offer and sale of the Offer Shares.
Brief History
The Philippines initially had two stock exchanges, the Manila Stock Exchange, which was
organized in 1927, and the Makati Stock Exchange, which began operations in 1963. Each
exchange was self-regulating, governed by its respective Board of Governors elected annually
by its members.
Several steps initiated by the Philippine government have resulted in the unification of the
two bourses into the PSE. The PSE was incorporated in 1992 by officers of both the Makati
and the Manila Stock Exchanges. In March 1994, the licenses of the two exchanges were
revoked. While the PSE maintains two trading floors, one in Makati City and the other in
Pasig City, these floors are linked by an automated trading system, which integrates all bid
and ask quotations from the bourses.
In June 1998, the SEC granted the Self-Regulatory Organization status to the PSE, allowing it
to impose rules as well as implement penalties on erring trading participants and listed
companies. On August 8, 2001, the PSE completed its demutualization, converting from a
non-stock member-governed institution into a stock corporation in compliance with the
requirements of the SRC. The PSE had an authorized capital stock of 97.8 million shares, of
which 61,258,733 shares were subscribed and fully paid-up as of June 30, 2013. Each of the
184 member-brokers was granted 50,000 common shares of the new PSE at a par value of
₱1.00 per share. In addition, a trading right evidenced by a ―Trading Participant Certificate‖
was immediately conferred on each member broker allowing the use of the PSE‘s trading
facilities. As a result of the demutualization, the composition of the PSE Board of Governors
was changed, requiring the inclusion of seven brokers and eight non-brokers, one of whom is
the President.
On December 15, 2003, the PSE listed its shares by way of introduction at its own bourse as
part of a series of reforms aimed at strengthening the securities industry.
Classified into financial, industrial, holding firms, property, services, and mining and oil
sectors, companies are listed either on the PSE‘s Main Board or the Small, Medium and
Emerging Board. Previously, the PSE allowed listing on the First Board, Second Board or the
Small, Medium and Enterprises Board. As a result of the issuance by the PSE of
Memorandum No. CN-No. 2013-0023 dated June 6, 2013, revisions to the PSE Listing Rules
were made. Among such changes are the removal of the Second Board listing and the
requirement that lock-up rules be embodied in the articles of the incorporation of the issuer.
Each index represents the numerical average of the prices of component shares. The PSE has
an index, referred to as the PHISIX, which as at the date thereof reflects the price movements
of selected shares listed on the PSE, based on traded prices of shares from the various sectors.
The PSE shifted from full market capitalization to free float market capitalization effective
April 3, 2006, simultaneous with the migration to the free float index and the renaming of the
PHISIX to PSEi. The PSEi is composed of shares of 30 selected companies listed on the PSE.
209
With the increasing calls for good corporate governance, the PSE has adopted an online daily
disclosure system to improve the transparency of listed companies and to protect the investing
public.

Trading
The PSE is a double auction market. Buyers and sellers are each represented by stockbrokers.
To trade, bid or ask prices are posted on the PSE‘s electronic trading system. A buy (or sell)
order that matches the lowest asked (or highest bid) price is automatically executed. Buy and
sell orders received by one broker at the same price are crossed at the PSE at the indicated
price. Payment of purchases of listed securities must be made by the buyer on or before the
third trading day (the settlement date) after the trade.
Beginning January 2, 2012, trading on the PSE starts at 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., when there
will be a one and a half hour lunch break. In the afternoon, trading resumes at 1:30 p.m. and
ends at 3:30 p.m., with a 10-minute extension during which transactions may be conducted,
provided that they are executed at the last traded price and are only for the purpose of
210
completing unfinished orders. Trading days are Monday to Friday, except legal holidays and
days when the BSP clearing house is closed.
Minimum trading lots range from 5 to 1,000,000 shares depending on the price range and
nature of the security traded. Odd-sized lots are traded by brokers on a board specifically
designed for odd-lot trading.
To maintain stability in the stock market, daily price swings are monitored and regulated.
Under current PSE regulations, when the price of a listed security moves up by 50% or down
by 50% in one day (based on the previous closing price or last posted bid price, whichever is
higher), the price of that security is automatically frozen by the PSE, unless there is an
official statement from the company or a government agency justifying such price fluctuation,
in which case the affected security can still be traded but only at the frozen price. If the issuer
fails to submit such explanation, a trading halt is imposed by the PSE on the listed security
the following day. Resumption of trading shall be allowed only when the disclosure of the
company is disseminated, subject again to the trading ban.
Non-Resident Transactions
When the purchase/sale of Philippine shares involves a non-resident, whether the transaction
is effected in the domestic or foreign market, it will be the responsibility of the securities
dealer/broker to register the transaction with the BSP. The local securities dealer/broker shall
file with the BSP, within three business days from the transaction date, an application in the
prescribed registration form. After compliance with other required undertakings, the BSP
shall issue a Certificate of Registration. Inward foreign investments in PSE-listed securities
are registered with the investor‘s designated custodian bank on behalf of the BSP. Under BSP
rules, all registered foreign investments in securities including profits and dividends, net of
taxes and charges, may be repatriated.
Settlement
The Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines (―SCCP‖) is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the PSE, and was organized primarily as a clearance and settlement agency for
SCCP-eligible trades executed through the facilities of the PSE. SCCP received its permanent
license to operate on January 17, 2002. It is responsible for:
synchronizing the settlement of funds and the transfer of securities through Delivery
versus Payment clearing and settlement of transactions of Clearing Members, who
are also Trading Participants of the PSE;
guaranteeing the settlement of trades in the event of a Trading Participant‘s default
through the implementation of its Fails Management System and administration of
the Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund; and
performance of Risk Management and Monitoring to ensure final and irrevocable
settlement.
SCCP settles PSE trades on a three-day rolling settlement environment, which means that
settlement of trades takes place three trading days after transaction date (―T+3‖). The
deadline for settlement of trades is 12:00 n.n. of T+3. Securities sold should be in scripless
form and lodged under the book-entry system of the PDTC. Each PSE Broker maintains a
Cash Settlement Account with one of the five existing Settlement Banks of SCCP, which are
BDO Unibank, Inc., Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, Metropolitan Bank and Trust
211
Company, Deutsche Bank and Unionbank of the Philippines. Payment for securities bought
should be in good, cleared funds and should be final and irrevocable. Settlement is presently
on a broker level.
SCCP implemented its Central Clearing and Central Settlement system on May 29, 2006.
CCCS employs multilateral netting, whereby the system automatically offsets ―buy‖ and
―sell‖ transactions on a per issue and a per flag basis to arrive at a net receipt or a net delivery
security position for each Clearing Member. All cash debits and credits are also netted into a
single net cash position for each Clearing Member. Novation of the original PSE trade
contracts occurs, and SCCP stands between the original trading parties and becomes the
Central Counterparty to each PSE-eligible trade cleared through it.
Scripless Trading
In 1995, the PDTC (formerly the Philippine Central Depository, Inc.), was organized to
establish a central depository in the Philippines and introduce scripless or book-entry trading
in the Philippines. On December 16, 1996, the PDTC was granted a provisional license by the
SEC to act as a central securities depository.
All listed securities at the PSE have been converted into book-entry settlement in the PDTC.
The depository service of the PDTC provides the infrastructure for lodgment (deposit) and
upliftment (withdrawal) of securities, pledge of securities, securities lending and borrowing
and corporate actions including shareholders‘ meetings, dividend declarations and rights
offerings. The PDTC also provides depository and settlement services for non-PSE trades of
listed equity securities. For transactions on the PSE, the security element of the trade will be
settled through the book-entry system, while the cash element will be settled through the
current settlement banks, BDO Unibank, Inc., Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation,
Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, Deutsche Bank and Unionbank of the Philippines.
In order to benefit from the book-entry system, securities must be immobilized into the PDTC
system through a process called lodgment. Lodgment is the process by which shareholders
transfer legal title (but not beneficial title) over their shares in favor of the PCD Nominee
Corporation (―PCD Nominee‖), a corporation wholly-owned by the PDTC, whose sole
purpose is to act as nominee and legal title holder of all shares lodged in the PDTC.
―Immobilization‖ is the process by which the warrant or share certificates of lodging holders
are cancelled by the transfer agent and the corresponding transfer of beneficial ownership of
the immobilized shares in the account of the PCD Nominee through the PDTC participant
will be recorded in the issuing corporation‘s registry. This trust arrangement between the
participants and PDTC through the PCD Nominee is established by and explained in the
PDTC Rules and Operating Procedures approved by the SEC. No consideration is paid for the
transfer of legal title to the PCD Nominee. Once lodged, transfers of beneficial title of the
securities are accomplished via book-entry settlement.
Under the current PDTC system, only participants (e.g. brokers and custodians) will be
recognized by the PDTC as the beneficial owners of the lodged equity securities. Thus, each
beneficial owner of shares, through his participant, will be the beneficial owner to the extent
of the number of shares held by such participant in the records of the PCD Nominee. All
lodgments, trades and uplifts on these shares will have to be coursed through a participant.
Ownership and transfers of beneficial interests in the shares will be reflected, with respect to
the participant‘s aggregate holdings, in the PDTC system, and with respect to each beneficial
owner‘s holdings, in the records of the participants. Beneficial owners are thus advised that in
order to exercise their rights as beneficial owners of the lodged shares, they must rely on their
participant-brokers and/or participant-custodians.
212
Any beneficial owner of shares who wishes to trade his interests in the shares must course the
trade through a participant. The participant can execute PSE trades and non-PSE trades of
lodged equity securities through the PDTC system. All matched transactions in the PSE
trading system will be fed through the SCCP, and into the PDTC system. Once it is
determined on the settlement date (T+3) that there are adequate securities in the securities
settlement account of the participant-seller and adequate cleared funds in the settlement bank
account of the participant-buyer, the PSE trades are automatically settled in the SCCP Central
Clearing and Central Settlement system, in accordance with the SCCP and PDTC Rules and
Operating Procedures. Once settled, the beneficial ownership of the securities is transferred
from the participant-seller to the participant-buyer without the physical transfer of stock
certificates covering the traded securities.
The difference between the depository and the registry would be on the recording of
ownership of the shares in the issuing corporations‘ books. In the depository set-up, shares
are simply immobilized, wherein customers‘ certificates are cancelled and a confirmation
advice is issued in the name of PCD Nominee to confirm new balances of the shares lodged
with the PDTC. Transfers among/between broker and/or custodian accounts, as the case may
be, will only be made within the book-entry system of the PDTC. However, as far as the
issuing corporation is concerned, the underlying certificates are in the PCD Nominee‘s name.
In the registry set-up, settlement and recording of ownership of traded securities will already
be directly made in the corresponding issuing company‘s transfer agents‘ books or system.
Likewise, recording will already be at the beneficiary level (whether it be a client or a
registered custodian holding securities for its clients), thereby removing from the broker its
current ―de facto‖ custodianship role.
Amended Rule on Lodgment of Securities
On June 24, 2009, the PSE apprised all listed companies and market participants through
Memorandum No. 2009-0320 that commencing on July 1, 2009, as a condition for the listing
and trading of the securities of an applicant company, the applicant company shall
electronically lodge its registered securities with the PDTC or any other entity duly
authorized by the SEC, without any jumbo or mother certificate in compliance with the
requirements of Section 43 of the SRC. In compliance with the foregoing requirement, actual
listing and trading of securities on the scheduled listing date shall take effect only after
submission by the applicant company of the documentary requirements stated in the amended
rule on Lodgment of Securities of the PSE.
Pursuant to the said amendment, the PDTC issued an implementing procedure in support
thereof to wit:
For a new company to be listed at the PSE as of July 1, 2009, the usual procedure
will be observed but the transfer agent of the company shall no longer issue a
certificate to PCD Nominee but shall issue a Registry Confirmation Advice, which
shall be the basis for the PDTC to credit the holdings of the depository participants on
the listing date.
On the other hand, for an existing listed company, the PDTC shall wait for the advice
of the transfer agent that it is ready to accept surrender of PCD Nominee jumbo
certificates and upon such advice the PDTC shall surrender all PCD Nominee jumbo
certificates to the transfer agent for cancellation. The transfer agent shall issue a
Registry Confirmation Advice to PDTC evidencing the total number of shares
registered in the name of PCD Nominee in the listed company‘s registry as of
confirmation date.
213
Issuance of Stock Certificates for Certificated Shares
On or after the listing of the shares on the PSE, any beneficial owner of the shares may apply
with PDTC through his broker or custodian-participant for a withdrawal from the book-entry
system and return to the conventional paper-based settlement. If a shareholder wishes to
withdraw his shareholdings from the PDTC system, the PDTC has a procedure of upliftment
under which PCD Nominee will transfer back to the shareholder the legal title to the shares
lodged. The uplifting shareholder shall follow the Rules and Operating Procedures of the
PDTC for the uplifting of the shares lodged under the name of the PCD Nominee. The
transfer agent shall prepare and send a Registry Confirmation Advice to the PDTC covering
the new number of shares lodged under PCD Nominee. The expenses for upliftment are on
the account of the uplifting shareholder.
Upon the issuance of stock certificates for the shares in the name of the person applying for
upliftment, such shares shall be deemed to be withdrawn from the PDTC book-entry
settlement system, and trading on such shares will follow the normal process for settlement of
certificated securities. The expenses for upliftment of the shares into certificated securities
will be charged to the person applying for upliftment. Pending completion of the upliftment
process, the beneficial interest in the shares covered by the application for upliftment is
frozen and no trading and book-entry settlement will be permitted until the relevant stock
certificates in the name of the person applying for upliftment shall have been issued by the
relevant company‘s transfer agent.
214
PHILIPPINE TAXATION
The following is a discussion of the material Philippine tax consequences of the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of the Common Shares. This general description does not purport
to be a comprehensive description of the Philippine tax aspects of the Common Shares and no
information is provided regarding the tax aspects of acquiring, owning, holding or disposing
of the Common Shares under applicable tax laws of other applicable jurisdictions and the
specific Philippine tax consequence in light of particular situations of acquiring, owning,
holding and disposing of the Common Shares in such other jurisdictions. This discussion is
based upon laws, regulations, rulings, and income tax conventions (treaties) in effect at the
date of this Prospectus. The tax treatment applicable to a holder of the Common Shares may
vary depending upon such holder‘s particular situation, and certain holders may be subject to
special rules not discussed below. This summary does not purport to address all tax aspects
that may be important to a holder of the Common Shares. Prospective investors of the
Common Shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax
consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Common Shares, including the
applicability and effect of any local or foreign tax laws.
As used in this section, the term ―resident alien‖ refers to an individual whose residence is
within the Philippines and who is not a citizen of the Philippines; a ―non-resident alien‖ is an
individual whose residence is not within the Philippines and who is not a citizen of the
Philippines. A non-resident alien who is actually within the Philippines for an aggregate
period of more than 180 days during any calendar year is considered a ―non-resident alien
doing business in the Philippines.‖ A non-resident alien who is actually within the Philippines
for an aggregate period of 180 days or less during any calendar year is considered a ―non-
resident alien not doing business in the Philippines.‖ A ―resident foreign corporation‖ is a
non-Philippine corporation engaged in trade or business within the Philippines; and a ―non-
resident foreign corporation‖ is a non-Philippine corporation not engaged in trade or business
within the Philippines. The term ―dividends‖ under this section refers to cash or property
dividends. ―Tax Code‖ means the Philippine National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as
amended.
Taxes on Dividends on the Shares
Individual Philippine citizens and resident aliens are subject to a final tax on dividends
derived from the Common Shares at the rate of 10%, which tax shall be withheld by the
Company.
Non-resident alien individuals engaged in trade or business in the Philippines are subject to a
final withholding tax on dividends derived from the Common Shares at the rate of 20% on the
gross amount thereof, subject to applicable preferential tax rates under tax treaties in force
between the Philippines and the country of domicile or residence of such non-resident alien
individual. A non-resident alien individual not engaged in trade or business in the Philippines
is subject to a final withholding tax on dividends derived from the Common Shares at the rate
of 25% of the gross amount, subject to applicable preferential tax rates under tax treaties in
force between the Philippines and the country of domicile or residence of such non-resident
alien individual.
The term ―non-resident holder‖ means a holder of the Common Shares:
who is an individual who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the Philippines or an
entity which is a foreign corporation not engaged in trade or business in the
Philippines; and
215
should a tax treaty be applicable, whose ownership of the Common Shares is not
effectively connected with a fixed base or a permanent establishment in the
Philippines.
Dividends derived by domestic corporations (i.e. corporations created or organized in the
Philippines or under its laws) and resident foreign corporations from the Common Shares
shall not be subject to tax.
Dividends received from a domestic corporation by a non-resident foreign corporation are
generally subject to final withholding tax at the rate of 30%, subject to applicable preferential
tax rates under tax treaties in force between the Philippines and the country of domicile of
such non-resident foreign corporation. The 30% rate for dividends paid to non-resident
foreign corporations with countries of domicile having no tax treaty with the Philippines may
be reduced to a special 15% rate if:
the country in which the non-resident foreign corporation is domiciled imposes no
taxes on foreign sourced dividends; or
the country in which the non-resident foreign corporation is domiciled allows a credit
against the tax due from the non-resident foreign corporation for taxes deemed to
have been paid in the Philippines equivalent to 15%.
The BIR has prescribed, through an administrative issuance, procedures for the availment of
tax treaty relief. The application for tax treaty relief has to be filed with the BIR by the non-
resident holder of the Common Shares (or its duly authorized representative) prior to the first
taxable event, or prior to the first and only time the income tax payor is required to withhold
the tax thereon or should have withheld taxes thereon had the transaction been subject to tax.
The requirements for a tax treaty relief application in respect of dividends are set out in the
applicable tax treaty and BIR Form No. 0901-D. These include proof of tax residence in the
country that is a party to the tax treaty. Proof of residence consists of a consularized
certification from the tax authority of the country of residence of the non-resident holder of
Common Shares which states that the non-resident holder is a tax resident of such country
under the applicable tax treaty. If the non-resident holder of Common Shares is a juridical
entity, authenticated certified true copies of its articles of incorporation or association issued
by the proper government authority should also be submitted to the BIR in addition to the
certification of its residence from the tax authority of its country of residence.
If tax at the regular rate is withheld by the Company instead of the reduced rates applicable
under a treaty, the non-resident holder of the Common Shares may file a claim for refund
from the BIR. However, because the refund process in the Philippines requires the filing of an
administrative claim and the submission of supporting information, and may also involve the
filing of a judicial appeal, it may be impractical to pursue obtaining such a refund. Moreover,
in view of the requirement of the BIR that an application for tax treaty relief be filed prior to
the first taxable event as previously stated, the non-resident holder of Common Shares may
not be able to successfully pursue a claim for refund if such an application is not filed before
such deadline.
Stock dividends distributed pro rata to any holder of shares are not subject to Philippine
income tax. However, the sale, exchange or disposition of shares received as share dividends
by the holder is subject to either capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax (if the sale is
made outside the facilities of the PSE) or stock transaction tax (if the sale is made through the
facilities of the PSE).
216

of the company paying the dividends.
(3) 10% if the recipient company (excluding a partnership) owns directly at least 25% of the capital of the
company paying the dividends.
(4) 10% if the recipient company holds directly at least 10% of either the voting shares of the company
paying the dividends or of the total shares issued by that company during the period of six months
immediately preceding the date of payment of the dividends.
(5) 15% if during the part of the paying company’s taxable year which precedes the date of payment of

voting shares of the paying company were owned by the recipient company.
(6) 15% if the recipient company is a company which controls directly or indirectly at least 10% of the
voting power of the company paying the dividends.
(7) 20% if during the part of the paying corporation’s taxable year which precedes the date of payment of
dividends and during the whole of its prior taxable year, at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the
voting shares of the paying corporation were owned by the recipient corporation. Notwithstanding the
rates provided under the Republic of the Philippines-United States Treaty, residents of the United States
may avail of the 15% withholding tax rate under the tax-sparing clause of the Tax Code provided certain
conditions are met.
(8 Capital gains are taxable only in the country where the seller is a resident, provided the shares are not
those of a corporation, the assets of which consist principally of real property situated in the
Philippines, in which case the sale is subject to Philippine taxes.
(9) Under the tax treaty between the Philippines and Germany, capital gains from the alienation of shares of
a Philippine corporation may be taxed in the Philippines irrespective of the nature of the assets of the
Philippine corporation. Tax rates are 5% on the net capital gains realized during the taxable year not in
excess of ₱ 100,000 and 10% on the net capital gains realized during the taxable year in excess of ₱
100,000.
(10) Under the tax treaty between the Philippines and the United Kingdom, capital gains on the sale of the
shares of Philippine corporations are subject to tax only in the country where the seller is a resident,
irrespective of the nature of the assets of the Philippine corporation.
217
In order for an exemption under a tax treaty to be recognized, an application for tax treaty
relief on capital gains tax on the sale of shares must be filed by the income recipient before
the deadline for the filing of the documentary stamp tax return, which is the fifth day from the
end of the month when the document transferring ownership was executed.
The requirements for a tax treaty relief application in respect of capital gains tax on the sale of
shares are set out in the applicable tax treaty and BIR Form No. 0901-C. These include proof
of residence in the country that is a party to the tax treaty. Proof of residence consists of a
consularized certification from the tax authority of the country of residence of the seller of
shares which provides that the seller is a resident of such country under the applicable tax
treaty. If the seller is a juridical entity, authenticated certified true copies of its articles of
incorporation or association issued by the proper government authority should also be
submitted to the BIR in addition to the certification of its residence from the tax authority of
its country of residence.
Sale, Exchange or Disposition of Shares through an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)
The sale, barter, exchange or other disposition through an IPO of shares in closely held
corporations is subject to an IPO Tax at the rates below based on the gross selling price or
gross value in money of the shares sold, bartered, exchanged or otherwise disposed in
accordance with the proportion of shares sold, bartered, exchanged or otherwise disposed to
the total outstanding shares after the listing in the local stock exchange:
Up to 25% ................................................................................................................... 4%
Over 25% but not over 33 1⁄3% ................................................................................. 2%
Over 33 1⁄3% .............................................................................................................. 1%
A ―closely held corporation‖ means any corporation at least 50% in value of outstanding
capital shares or at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares
entitled to vote is owned directly or indirectly by or for not more than 20 individuals.
The IPO Tax for the Offer shall be paid by the Company.
Sale, Exchange or Disposition of Shares after the IPO
Capital gains tax, if sale was made outside the PSE
Net capital gains realized by a resident or non-resident other than a dealer in securities during
each taxable year from the sale, exchange or disposition of shares outside the facilities of the
PSE, unless an applicable treaty exempts such gains from tax or provides for preferential
rates, are subject to tax as follows: 5.0% on gains not exceeding ₱100,000 and 10.0% on
gains over ₱100,000. An application for tax treaty relief must be filed (and approved) by the
Philippine tax authorities to obtain an exemption under a tax treaty. Such application must be
filed before the deadline for the filing of the documentary stamp tax return. Otherwise, the tax
treaty exemption cannot be availed of. The transfer of shares shall not be recorded in the
books of the Company unless the BIR certifies that the capital gains and documentary stamp
taxes relating to the sale or transfer have been paid or, where applicable, tax treaty relief has
been confirmed by the International Tax Affairs Division of the BIR in respect of the capital
gains tax or other conditions have been met.
218
Taxes on transfer of shares listed and traded at the PSE
A sale or other disposition of shares through the facilities of the PSE by a resident or a non-
resident holder, other than a dealer in securities, is subject to a stock transaction tax at the rate
of 0.5% of the gross selling price or gross value in money of the shares sold or otherwise
disposed, unless an applicable treaty exempts such sale from said tax. This tax is required to
be collected by and paid to the Government by the selling stockbroker on behalf of his client.
The stock transaction tax is classified as a percentage tax in lieu of a capital gains tax. Under
certain tax treaties, the exemptions from capital gains tax discussed herein may not be
applicable to stock transaction tax.
In addition, VAT of 12.0% is imposed on the commission earned by the PSE-registered
broker, and is generally passed on to the client.
The PSE issued Memorandum CN-No. 2012-0046 dated August 22, 2012, which provides
that immediately after December 31, 2012, the SEC shall impose a trading suspension for a
period of not more than six months, on shares of a listed company that has not complied with
the Rule on Minimum Public Ownership (―MPO‖) which requires listed companies to
maintain a minimum percentage of listed securities held by the public at 10% of the listed
companies‘ issued and outstanding shares at all times. Consequently, the sale of such listed
company‘s shares during the trading suspension may be effected only outside the trading
system of the PSE and shall be subject to capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax.
Furthermore, if the fair market value of the shares of stock sold is greater than the
consideration or the selling price, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares
exceeds the selling price shall be deemed a gift that is subject to donor‘s tax under Section
100 of the Tax Code.
On November 7, 2012, the BIR issued Revenue Regulations No. 16-2012 which provides that
the sale, barter, transfer, and/or assignment of shares of listed companies that fail to meet the
MPO requirement after December 31, 2012 will be subject to capital gains tax and
documentary stamp tax. It also requires publicly listed companies to submit public ownership
reports to the BIR within 15 days after the end of each quarter.
Prospective purchasers of the Offer Shares should obtain their own tax advice in respect of
their investment in relation to these developments.
Documentary Stamp Taxes on Shares
The original issue of shares is subject to documentary stamp tax of ₱1.00 on each ₱200 par
value, or fraction thereof, of the shares issued. On the other hand, the transfer of shares is
subject to a documentary stamp tax at a rate of ₱0.75 on each ₱200, or fractional part thereof,
of the par value of the Common Shares. The documentary stamp tax is imposed on the person
making, signing, issuing, accepting or transferring the document and is thus payable either by
the vendor or the purchaser of the Common Shares.
However, the sale, barter or exchange of Common Shares should they be listed and traded
through the PSE are exempt from documentary stamp tax. In addition, the borrowing and
lending of securities executed under the securities borrowing and lending program of a
registered exchange, or in accordance with regulations prescribed by the appropriate
regulatory authority, are likewise exempt from documentary stamp tax. However, the
securities borrowing and lending agreement should be duly covered by a master securities
borrowing and lending agreement acceptable to the appropriate regulatory authority, and
should be duly registered and approved by the BIR.
219
Estate and Gift Taxes
The transfer of the Common Shares upon the death of a registered holder to his heirs by way
of succession, whether such an individual was a citizen of the Philippines or an alien,
regardless of residence, will be subject to Philippine estate tax at progressive rates ranging
from 5% to 20% if the net estate is over ₱200,000.
Individual registered holders, whether or not citizens or residents of the Philippines, who
transfer shares by way of gift or donation, will be liable for Philippine donor‘s tax on such
transfers at progressive rates ranging from 2% to 15% if the total net gifts made during the
calendar year exceed ₱100,000. The rate of tax with respect to net gifts made to a stranger
(one who is not a brother, sister, spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant or relative by
consanguinity within the fourth degree of relationship) is a flat rate of 30%. Corporate
registered holders are also liable for Philippine donor‘s tax on such transfers, but the rate of
tax with respect to net gifts made by corporate registered holders is always at a flat rate of
30%.
Estate and gift taxes will not be collected in respect of intangible personal property, such as
shares, (1) if the deceased at the time of death, or the donor at the time of donation, was a
citizen and resident of a foreign country which at the time of his death or donation did not
impose a transfer tax of any character in respect of intangible personal property of citizens of
the Philippines not residing in that foreign country, or (2) if the laws of the foreign country of
which the deceased or the donor was a citizen and resident at the time of his death or donation
allow a similar exemption from transfer or death taxes of every character or description in
respect of intangible personal property owned by citizens of the Philippines not residing in
that foreign country.
Corporate Income Tax
In general, a tax of 30% is imposed upon the taxable net income of a domestic corporation
from all sources (within and outside the Philippines) pursuant to the Tax Code.
220
PHILIPPINE FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND
FOREIGN OWNERSHIP CONTROLS
Under current BSP regulations, an investment in listed securities (such as the Common
Shares) must be registered with the BSP if the foreign exchange needed to service the
repatriation of capital and the remittance of dividends, profits and earnings derived from such
shares is to be sourced from the Philippine banking system. If the foreign exchange required
to service capital repatriation or dividend remittance is sourced outside the Philippine banking
system, registration is not required. Current BSP Circular No. 471 (Series of 2005), as
amended, however, subjects foreign exchange dealers and money changers to R.A. No. 9160
(the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended) and requires these nonbank sources of
foreign exchange to require foreign exchange buyers to submit supporting documents in
connection with their application to purchase foreign exchange for purposes of capital
repatriation and remittance of dividends.
The application for registration may be done directly with the BSP or through a custodian
bank duly designated by the foreign investor. A custodian bank may be an authorized agent
bank1 or an offshore banking unit registered with the BSP to act as such and appointed by the
investor to register the investment, hold shares for the investor, and represent the investor in
all necessary actions in connection with his investments in the Philippines. Applications for
registration must be accompanied by: (i) purchase invoice, subscription agreement and proof
of listing on the PSE (either or both); (ii) credit advice or bank certificate showing the amount
of foreign currency inwardly remitted and converted into Pesos through an authorized agent
bank; and (iii) transfer instructions from the stockbroker or dealer, as the case may be.
Upon registration of the investment, proceeds of divestments, or dividends of registered
investments are repatriable or remittable immediately and in full through the Philippine
banking system, net of applicable tax, without need of BSP approval. Capital repatriation of
investments in listed securities is permitted upon presentation of the BSP registration
document and the broker‘s sales invoice, at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of
purchase of the foreign exchange from the banking system. Remittance of dividends is
permitted upon presentation of: (1) the BSP registration document; (2) the cash dividends
notice from the PSE and the Philippine Central Depository printout of cash dividend payment
or computation of interest earned; (3) copy of secretary‘s sworn statement on the board
resolution covering the dividend declaration and (4) detailed computation of the amount
applied for in the format prescribed by the BSP. Pending reinvestment or repatriation,
divestment proceeds, as well as dividends of registered investments, may be lodged
temporarily in interest-bearing deposit accounts with any authorized agent bank. Interest
earned thereon, net of taxes, may also be remitted in full. Remittance of divestment proceeds
or dividends of registered investments may be reinvested in the Philippines. The re-
investments shall be registered with the BSP or the investor‘s custodian bank if the foreign
exchange needed to service the repatriation of capital and the remittance of dividends, profits
and earnings derived from such re-investments is to be sourced from the Philippine banking
system.
The foregoing is subject to the power of the BSP, through the Monetary Board, with the
approval of the President of the Philippines, to suspend temporarily or restrict the availability
of foreign exchange, require licensing of foreign exchange transactions or require delivery of
1 The term ―authorized agent bank‖ refers to all categories of banks, except offshore banking units, duly
licensed by the BSP.
221
foreign exchange to the BSP or its designee during an exchange crisis, when an exchange
crisis is imminent, or in times of national emergency.
The registration with the BSP of all foreign investments in any Common Shares received in
exchange for Offer Shares shall be the responsibility of the foreign investor.
Foreign Ownership Controls
The Company does not currently own real estate. However, if the Company acquires real
estate in the future, it would be subject to nationality restrictions found under the Philippine
Constitution and other laws limiting land ownership to Philippine Nationals. The term
―Philippine National‖ as defined under the R.A. No. 7042, as amended, shall mean a citizen
of the Philippines, a domestic partnership or association wholly-owned by citizens of the
Philippines or a corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines of which at least
60.0% of the capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote is owned and held by citizens of
the Philippines, or a corporation organized abroad and registered to do business in the
Philippines under the Philippine Corporation Code of which 60.0% of the capital stock
outstanding and entitled to vote is wholly-owned by Filipinos or a trustee of funds for pension
or other employee retirement or separation benefits, where the trustee is a Philippine National
and at least 60.0% of the fund will accrue to the benefit of Philippine Nationals.
As of the date of this Prospectus, approximately 100% of the total outstanding capital stock of
the Company is held by Philippine Nationals.
222

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements (a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) from the pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies in the succeeding pages.
(b) Presentation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company presents all items of income and expense in a single statement of comprehensive income. The Company presents a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period when it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period. The related notes to the third statement of financial position are not required to be disclosed. The Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits, resulted in retrospective restatements on certain accounts in the comparative financial statements for December 31, 2012 and in the corresponding figures as at January 1, 2012 [see Note 2.2(a)(ii)]. Accordingly, the Company presents a third statement of financial position as of January 1, 2012 without the related notes, except for the disclosures required under PAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in United States (U.S.) dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated. Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using its functional currency. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS
(a) Effective in 2013 that are Relevant to the Company
In 2013, the Company adopted for the first time the following new PFRS, revisions, amendments and annual improvements thereto that are relevant to the Company and effective for financial statements for the annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 or January 1, 2013: PAS 1 (Amendment) : Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income PAS 19 (Revised) : Employee Benefits PFRS 7 (Amendment) : Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities PFRS 13 : Fair Value Measurement Annual Inprovements : Annual Improvements to PFRS (2009 – 2011 Cycle) Discussed below are the relevant information about these new, revised and amended standards. (i) PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation - Presentation of Items of Other
Comprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendment requires an entity to group items presented in other comprehensive income into those that, in accordance with other PFRS: (a) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss, and, (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Management determined that the amendment did not significantly affect the financial statements as its comprehensive income is only comprised of actuarial gains and losses on retirement benefit obligation which are not reclassified to profit or loss.
(ii) PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). The
revision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughout the standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows: • eliminates the corridor approach under the existing guidance of PAS 19
and requires an entity to recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising in the reporting period;
• streamlines the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilities
resulting in the disaggregation of changes into three main components of service costs, net interest on net defined benefit obligation or asset, and remeasurement; and,
• enhances disclosure requirements, including information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities, through participation in those plans are exposed to.
F-231
- 4 -
The Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) resulted in the retrospective adjustment of the post-employment benefit obligation to record the previously unrecognized net actuarial losses with the corresponding recognition of reserve in equity for such net actuarial losses including those previously recognized in profit or loss and accumulated in Retained Earnings. The restatement of certain line items in the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and the corresponding figures as at January 1, 2012 as a result of the above adjustments are summarized below.
As Previously Prior Period Notes Reported Adjustment As Restated
December 31, 2012
Changes in assets: Post-employment benefit asset 15.2 $ 15,652 ($ 5,218 ) $ 10,434 Deferred tax assets - net 16 141,504 1,565 143,069 Net Effect on Assets ($ 3,653 ) Changes in equity: Revaluation reserves $ 35,773 ($ 17,160 ) $ 18,613 Retained earnings 6,238,817 13,507 6,252,324 Net Effect on Equity ($ 3,653 )
January 1, 2012
Changes in assets: Post-employment benefit asset $ 17,692 ($ 15,028 ) $ 2,664 Deferred tax assets - net 71,896 4,508 76,404 Net Effect on Assets ($ 10,520 ) Changes in equity: Revaluation reserves $ 35,773 ($ 22,241 ) $ 13,532 Retained earnings 4,059,761 ( 11,721 ) 4,071,482 Net Effect on Equity ($ 10,520 )
The adoption of PAS19 (Revised) did not have material impact on the Company’s statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012.
F-232
- 5 -
(iii) PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendment requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and net amounts of recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment also requires disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, even if they are not set-off in the statement of financial position, including those which do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 and amounts related to a financial collateral. These disclosures allow financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with recognized financial assets and financial liabilities on the entity’s statement of financial position. The adoption of this amendment did not result in any significant changes in the Company’s disclosures on its financial statements as it has no master netting arrangements; however, potential offsetting arrangements are disclosed in Note 21.3. Other than the additional disclosures presented in Note 21.3, the application of this new standard had no significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
(iv) PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This new standard clarifies the definition of fair value and provides guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The requirements under this standard do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied to both financial instrument items and non-financial items for which other PFRS require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements, except in certain circumstances. The amendment applies prospectively from annual period beginning January 1, 2013, hence, disclosure requirements need not be presented in the comparative information in the first year of application. Nevertheless, other than the additional disclosure presented in Note 21, the application of this new standards had no significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements.
F-233
- 6 -
(v) 2009 - 2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvement to PFRS (2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS. Among those improvements, the following are relevant to the Company: (a) PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the
Requirements for Comparative Information. The amendment clarifies that a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third statement of financial position) is required when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in the third statement of financial position. The amendment specifies that other than disclosure of certain specified information in accordance with PAS 8 related notes to the third statement of financial position are not required to be presented. Consequent to the Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) in the current year which resulted in retrospective restatement of the prior years’ financial statements, the Company has presented a third statement of financial position as at January 1, 2012 without the related notes, except for the disclosure requirements of PAS 8.
(b) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of Servicing Equipment. The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistency in the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resulted in classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used for more than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory. This amendment had no impact on the Company’s financial statements since it has been recognizing those servicing equipment in accordance with the recognition criteria under PAS 16.
(c) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments – Presentation – Tax Effect of Distributions to Holders of Equity Instruments. The amendment clarifies that the consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized in profit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction is recognized in equity. This amendment had no effect on the Company’s financial statements as it has been recognizing the effect of distributions to holders of equity instruments and transaction costs of an equity transaction in accordance with PAS 12.
F-234
- 7 -
(b) Effective in 2013 that are not Relevant to the Company
The following amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 but are not relevant to the Company’s financial statements: PPRS 1 (Amendment) : First-time Adoption of PFRS – Government Loans
PFRS 10 : Consolidated Financial Statements

(c) Effective Subsequent to 2013 but not Adopted Early
There are new PFRS, amendments, annual improvements and interpretations to existing standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2013. Management has initially determined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply in accordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial statements: (i) PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - Employee
Contributions (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies that if the amount of the contributions from employees or third parties is dependent on the number of years of service, an entity shall attribute the contributions to periods of service using the same attribution method (i.e., either using the plan’s contribution formula or on a straight-line basis) for the gross benefit. Management has initially determined that this amendment will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements since there are no plans of future contribution from third parties.

(ii) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment provides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right of set-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; in the event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principle behind net settlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement system that would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
(iii) PAS 36 (Amendment), Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies that the requirements for the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is limited only to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is based on fair value less cost of disposal. It also introduces an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount based on fair value less cost of disposal is determined using a present value technique. Management will reflect in its subsequent years’ financial statements the changes arising from this relief on disclosure requirements.
(iv) PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (effective January 1, 2014). The amendment provides some relief from the requirements on hedge accounting by allowing entities to continue the use of hedge accounting when a derivative is novated to a clearing counterparty resulting in termination or expiration of the original hedging instrument as a consequence of laws and regulations, or the introduction thereof. As the Company neither enters into transactions involving derivative instruments nor it applies hedge accounting, the amendment will not have any impact on the financial statements.
(v) PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective from January 1, 2015). This is the first part of a new standard on financial instruments that will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, in its entirety. The first phase of the standard was issued on November 2009 and October 2010 and contains new requirements and guidance for the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: amortized cost or fair value. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost. All other debt instruments and equity instruments are measured at fair value. In addition, PFRS 9 allows entities to make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income. The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial assets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not they are closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation from the host contract.
F-236
- 9 -
For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements which include amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to the liability’s credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. In November 2013, the IASB has published amendments to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 that contain new chapter and model on hedge accounting that provides significant improvements principally by aligning hedge accounting more closely with the risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging their financial and non-financial risk exposures. The amendment also now requires changes in the fair value of an entity’s own debt instruments caused by changes in its own credit quality to be recognized in other comprehensive income rather in profit or loss. It also includes the removal of the January 1, 2015 mandatory effective date of IFRS 9. To date, the remaining chapter of IFRS 9 and PFRS 9 dealing with impairment methodology is still being completed. Further, the IASB is currently discussing some limited modifications to address certain application issues regarding classification of financial assets and to provide other considerations in determining business model. The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until its effective date. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 on the financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct a comprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to its mandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.
(vi) Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle) and PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which are effective for annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Among those improvements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company but management does not expect a material impact on the Company’s financial statements: Annual Improvements to PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle)
(a) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification of
Servicing Equipment. The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistency in the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resulted in classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used for more than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory. This amendment had no impact on the Company’s financial statements since it has been recognizing those servicing equipment in accordance with the recognition criteria under PAS 16.
F-237
- 10 -
(b) PAS 24 (Amendment), Related Party Disclosures. The amendment clarifies the entity providing key management services to a reporting entity is deemed to be a related party of the latter. It also requires and clarifies that the amounts incurred by the reporting entity for key management personnel services that are provided by a separate management entity should be disclosed in the financial statements, and not the amounts of compensation paid or payable by the key management entity to its employees or directors.
(c) PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement. The amendment, through
a revision only in the basis of conclusion of PFRS 13, clarifies that issuing PFRS 13 and amending certain provisions of PFRS 9 and PAS 39 related to discounting of financial instruments, did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate on an undiscounted basis, when the effect of not discounting is immaterial.
Annual Improvements to PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle)
PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement. The amendment clarifies that the scope of the exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis (the portfolio exception) applies to all contracts within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with PAS 39 or PFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in PAS 32.
2.3 Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial assets are generally categorized as loans and receivables and are presented as Cash and Cash Equivalents and Trade and Other Receivables in the statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.
F-238
- 11 -
Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses, if any. Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined 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 asset’s original effective interest rate or current effective interest rate determined under the contract if the loan has a variable interest rate. All income and expenses, excluding impairment losses and foreign currency exchange losses or gains and other gains or losses that relate to operating activities, relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented as part of Finance Costs or Finance Income in the statement of comprehensive income.
Non-compounding interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured. The financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial instruments expire and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to another party. 2.4 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributable to acquisition, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost. 2.5 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, except land which is stated at fair value, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any impairment in value. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Following initial recognition of at cost, land is carried at revalued amounts which are the fair values at the date of the revaluation, as determined by independent appraisers, less and any accumulated impairment losses. Revalued amounts are fair market values determined based on appraisals by external professional valuer once every two years or more frequently if market factors indicate a material change in fair value.
F-239
- 12 -
Any revaluation surplus is recognized in other comprehensive income and credited to the Revaluation Reserves account in the statement of changes in equity. Any revaluation deficit directly offsetting a previous surplus in the same asset is charged to other comprehensive income to the extent of any revaluation surplus in equity relating to this asset and the remaining deficit, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Upon disposal of land, amounts included in Revaluation Reserves relating to them are transferred to Retained Earnings. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings 15 years Machinery and equipment 10 years Land improvements 10 years Transportation and delivery equipment 5 years Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. No further charge for depreciation is made in respect of those accounts. Construction-in-progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing cost (see Note 2.15) and other direct costs. The account is not depreciated until such time that the assets are completed and available for use. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.13). The residual values and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An item of property, plant and equipment, including the related accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the year the item is derecognized. 2.6 Prepayments and Other Assets Prepayments and other current assets pertain to other resources controlled by the Company as a result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer, are classified as non-current assets.

2.7 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities, which include interest-bearing loans, trade and other payables (except tax related payables), due to related parties and dividends payable, are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. All interest-related charges incurred on financial liability that relate to financing activities and are not capitalized are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the caption Finance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
Interest-bearing loans are raised for support of short-term or long-term funding of operations. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that these are not settled in the period in which they arise. Trade and other payables, due to related parties and dividends payable are recognized initially at their fair values and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using effective interest method for maturities beyond one year, less settlement payments. Dividends payable to shareholders are recognized as financial liabilities upon declaration by the Company. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled within one year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities. Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss.
2.8 Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 2.9 Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.
F-241
- 14 -
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly, possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized in the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision. 2.10 Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue comprises revenue from the sale of goods measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods supplied, excluding value-added tax (VAT) and trade discounts. Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: (a) Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods have passed to the buyer. This is generally when the customer has taken undisputed delivery of goods.
(b) Interest income – Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset.
Costs and expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income upon receipt of goods and/or utilization of service or at the date they are incurred. Finance costs are reported on an accrual basis, except capitalized borrowing costs which are included as part of the cost of the related qualifying assets (see Notes 2.5 and 2.15).
F-242

2.11 Leases The Company accounts for its leases as follows: (a) Company as Lessee
Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are recognized as expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.
(b) Company as Lessor
Leases which do not transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
2.12 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that arise from financing activities are presented as part of Finance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
2.13 Impairment of Non-financial Assets The Company’s property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amounts which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. In determining value-in-use, management estimates the expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines the suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
F-243

2.14 Employee Benefits The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through a defined benefit plan, as well as a defined contribution plan. (a) Defined Benefits Plan
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s post-employment defined benefit pension plan covers all regular full-time employees. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using a discount rate derived from the interest rates of a zero coupon government bonds as published by Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation, that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related post-employment liability. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the return on plan assets (excluding amount included in net interest) are reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest is reported as part of Finance Costs or Finance Income account in the statement of profit or loss. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment.
(b) Defined Contribution Plan A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into an independent entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions after payment of the fixed contribution. The contributions recognized in respect of defined contribution plans are expensed as they fall due. Liabilities and assets may be recognized if underpayment or prepayment has occurred and are included in current liabilities or current assets as they are normally of a short-term nature.
F-244
- 17 -
(c) Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of when it can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefits and when it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of PAS 37, Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting period are discounted to their present value.
(d) Compensated Absences Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days (including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. They are included in the Trade and Other Payables account at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.
2.15 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as part of cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
2.16 Income Taxes Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any. Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss.
F-245
- 18 -
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rates have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted, that is, when the investment property is depreciable and is held within the business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent a reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjusted over time as more information becomes available. Deferred tax assets liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same entity and the same taxation authority.

2.17 Related Party Relationships and Transactions Related party transactions are transfers of resources, services or obligations between the Company and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the Company; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company and close members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) the Company’s retirement plan. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.
2.18 Equity Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Additional paid-in capital includes any premium received on the issuance of capital stock. Any transaction costs associated with the issuance of shares are deducted from additional paid-in capital, net of any related income tax benefits. Revaluation reserves comprise gains and losses due to the revaluation of land and remeasurements of post-employment defined benefit obligation or asset, specifically actuarial gains and losses. Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reported in the profit or loss section of the statements of comprehensive income, reduced by the amount of dividends declared. 2.19 Events after the End of the Reporting Period
Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’s financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates 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. Actual results may ultimately vary from these estimates. 3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements: (a) Distinction between Operating and Finance Leases
The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Critical judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to make the right judgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of asset and liabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to be operating leases.
(b) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies
Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and contingencies. Policies on recognition and disclosure of provision and contingencies are discussed in Note 2.9 and relevant disclosures in contingencies are presented in Note 20.
3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources 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: (a) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
Adequate amount of allowance for impairment is provided for specific and group of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluates these accounts based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the length of the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’ current credit status based on third party credit reports and known market forces, the average age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience. Based on the analysis done by management, certain receivables were identified to be impaired. The carrying value of trade and other receivables and analysis of allowance for impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.
F-248
- 21 -
(b) Determining Net Realizable Value of Inventories
In determining the net realizable value of inventories, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the dates the estimates are made. The future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as presented in Note 7 is affected by price changes in different market segments. These are considered key sources of estimation, especially that such inventories are substantially perishable in nature and highly affective by temperature and other environmental conditions, uncertainty and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s inventories within the next financial year.
(c) Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, except land, based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9. Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2013, there is no change in estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during the year. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above.
(d) Determining the Fair Value of Land
The Company’s land is carried at revalued amount at the end of the reporting period. In determining the fair value of the land, the Company engages the services of professional and independent appraisers. The fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as at the valuation date. Such amount is influenced by different factors including the location and specific characteristics of the property (e.g., size, features, and capacity), quantity of comparable properties available in the market, and economic condition and behaviour of the buying parties. A significant change in these elements may affect prices and the value of the asset. The amounts of revaluation and fair value gain recognized on land are disclosed in Note 9.
(e) Determining Recoverable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets
The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of the reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. The carrying value of deferred tax assets as at December 31, 2013 and 2012 which the management assessed to be probable of being fully utilized within the next two to three years is disclosed in Note 16.

(f) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company’s policy on estimating the impairment of non-financial assets is discussed in detail in Note 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. No impairment loss was recognized on the Company’s non-financial assets in 2013 and 2012.
(g) Valuation of Post-employment Benefits
The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment defined benefit are dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates and salary increase rates. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. The amount of retirement benefit obligation (asset) and expense and an analysis of the movements in the estimated present value of post-employment benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets are presented in Note 15.2.
4. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Company is exposed to certain financial risks which result from both its operating and investing activities. The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its parent company, in close cooperation with the BOD, and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short-to-medium term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below.
4.1 Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk and interest risk which result from both its operating and investing activities. (a) Foreign Currency Risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in U.S. Dollars, its functional currency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the interest-bearing loans from local banks, trade and other payables and due to related parties which are primarily denominated in Philippine peso. The Company also holds Philippine peso-denominated cash.
F-250
- 23 -
To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-U.S. dollar cash flows are regularly monitored. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities (in Philippine pesos), translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rate are as follows:
2013 2012 Short-term exposure: Financial assets $ 22,143,055 $ 2,095,713 Financial liabilities ( 53,444,704) ( 48,472,975 ) ( 31,301,649) ( 46,377,262 )
Long-term exposure – Financial liabilities - ( 364,148 ) Total exposure ( $ 31,301,649 ) ( $ 46,741,410 )
The sensitivity of the net results in regards to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the U.S. dollar – Philippine peso exchange rate assumes a +/-23.7% and +/-15.9% change of the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso exchange rate in 2013 and 2012, respectively. These percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates, using standard deviation, in the previous 12 months, estimated at 99% level of confidence. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Company’s foreign currency financial instruments held at the end of each reporting period, with effect estimated from the beginning of the year. If the Philippine peso had strengthened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have the following impact:
2013 2012 Profit before tax $ 22,255,472 $ 22,295,653 Equity 15,578,830 15,606,957
If the Philippine peso had weakened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have a reverse impact by the same amounts as above.
The exchange rates used to translate Philippine peso-denominated financial assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was P44.41:$1 and P41.19:$1, respectively. The Company actively monitors the volatility of the foreign currency exchange rates to manage its foreign currency exposure.
Exposures to foreign currency exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Company’s currency risk.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
The Company has limited exposure to changes in market interest rates through its interest-bearing loans and cash and cash equivalents, which are mostly short-term and are subject to variable interest rates. These financial instruments have historically shown small or measured changes in interest rates. All other financial assets and liabilities have fixed rates.

4.2 Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a counter party may fail to discharge an obligation to a Company. The Company is exposed to this risk with respect to certain financial instruments arising from selling goods to customers, including related parties, and placing deposits and short term placements with banks. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, if any identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at a reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. In addition, for a significant proportion of sales, advance payments are received to mitigate credit risk. Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the face of the statements of financial position (or in the detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below. Notes 2013 2012
Cash and cash equivalents 5 $ 8,205,166 $ 2,201,727 Trade and other Receivables - net 6 20,158,886 4,619,685 $ 28,364,052 $ 6,821,412 The Company’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each reporting period are of good credit quality. a. Cash and Cash Equivalents As part of Company policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions. Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of P500,000 ( approximately $11,259) per depositor per banking institution, as provided for under Republic Act No. 9576, Charter of PDIC, are still subject to credit risk.
b. Trade and Other Receivables In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is exposed to significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty. As of December 31, 2013, 25% of its trade receivable is from a single counterparty. To mitigate the risk, the Company has policies in place to ensure that goods are sold to customers with an appropriate credit history. Based on historical information about customer default rates, management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. There was no significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty as of December 31, 2012.

Financial assets that are past due but not impaired are as follows: 2013 2012 Less than one year $ 2,485,213 $ 1,566,491 More than one year - 259
$ 2,485,213 $ 1,566,750
4.3 Liquidity Risk
The ability of the Company to finance its operations and to meet obligations as these become due is extremely crucial to its viability as a business entity. The Company adopts a prudent liquidity risk management where it maintains sufficient cash to meet trade and other short-term payables as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in a day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a six-month and one-year period are identified monthly. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets. As at December 31, 2013, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities which are presented below.
Within 6 to 12 6 Months Months Interest-bearing loans $ 45,155,961 $ - Trade and other payables 8,199,726 - Due to related parties 5,238,586 - $ 58,594,273 $ -
This compares to the maturity of the Company’s financial liabilities as at December 31, 2012 as follows:
Within 6 to 12 6 Months Months
Interest-bearing loans $ 33,577,830 $ 370,986 Trade and other payables 10,868,961 - Due to related parties 4,085,368 - $ 48,532,159 $ 370,986
The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash flows, which may differ from the carrying values of the liabilities at the end of each of the reporting periods.

Cash in banks generally earn interest at rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term placements are made for varying periods between 30 to 90 days and earn effective interest ranging from 1.63% to 2.25% for both periods.
6. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
This account (see also Note 4.2) is composed of the following: Note 2013 2012
Trade receivables $ 15,367,209 $ 4,737,828 Deposits on purchase 1,421,700 - Others 17.2 4,813,866 26,140 21,602,775 4,763,968 Allowance for impairment ( 22,189) ( 144,283 )
$ 21,580,586 $ 4,619,685
Trade receivables are usually due within 30 to 45 days and do not bear any interest. All trade and other receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. Deposit on purchase pertains to the Company’s advance payment to suppliers. All of the Company’s trade and other receivables have been reviewed for indicators of impairment. Certain receivables were identified to be impaired, hence, adequate amounts of allowance for impairment have been recognized. The Company recognized impairment losses of $22,189 in 2013 and $75,500 in 2012 and presented them as part of Impairment loss on trade and other receivables under Administrative Expenses in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 13).

Construction-in-progress pertains to the accumulated costs incurred on the ongoing construction of a new building and installation of machinery and equipment as part of the Company’s expansion program (see Note 20.3). In 2013 and 2012, portion of construction-in-progress amounting to $638,886 and $392,963, respectively, were completed and transferred by the Company to their proper account classification. The Company did not capitalize any borrowing cost related to their general borrowings in 2013 and 2012, since management determined that the effect is not material to the financial statements. On October 15, 2013, the Company’s land with a carrying value of $1,862,839 as at the date of sale was sold to CCC at its original cost of $1,827,066. Consequently, loss on disposal of land of $35,773 is recognized and shown as part of Loss on disposal of property and equipment under Other Expenses in the 2013 statement of comprehensive income (see Note 13). The corresponding revaluation reserve of $35,773, carried in equity is transferred directly to the Retained Earnings. The amount of depreciation (see Note 13) is allocated as follows: 2013 2012
Cost of goods sold $ 2,695,638 $ 2,550,836 Administrative expenses 141,876 178,423 $ 2,837,514 $ 2,729,259
Fully depreciated assets with total original cost of $4,635,448 and $3,887,265 as at December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, are still being used in operations. Certain machinery with net book value of $37,148 was no longer in use; hence, derecognized as at December 31, 2013.

11. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS
The short-term and long-term interest-bearing loans, which are collateralized by a continuing joint suretyship of certain stockholders and a corporate guarantee of CCC (see Note 20), are broken down as follows:
2013 2012 in PHP in USD in PHP in USD Short-term P1,984,600,000 $ 44,684,109 P 1,320,700,000 $ 32,062,051 Long-term 15,000,000 337,731 75,000,000 1,820,742 P1,999,600,000 $ 45,021,840 P 1,395,700,000 $ 33,882,793
These loans were originally availed in Philippine peso and are presented in the statements of financial positions as follows: 2013 2012
Current $ 45,021,840 $ 33,518,645 Non-current - 364,148 $ 45,021,840 $ 33,882,793
Short-term loans consist of several borrowings from local banks which mature within 14 to 30 days and bear annual interest rates ranging from 2.50% to 2.65% in 2013 and 2.25% to 4.75% in 2012. Only the Company’s long-term loan is subject to a condition that requires the Company to meet certain financial ratios such as debt-to-equity ratio (not to exceed 2.5:1) and current ratio (of at least 1.0:1). In the event of default or non-compliance with any of the provisions of the loan agreement, the bank-creditor may (by written notice) either declare the loan terminated or declare the entire unpaid principal amount and interest of the loan due and demandable. The loan covenant has been consistently complied with by the Company but not as of December 31, 2013 (see Note 22). However, on February 27, 2014, complying with the long-term loan’s prescribed bank-scheduled-amortization, the Company has fully paid the remaining principal amount, denominated in Philippine peso, and included in current liabilities as at December 31, 2013 amounting to P15,000,000 (or approximately $337,731) without additional burden of penalties that the local bank could have imposed had the loan covenant conditions were applied. As such, the Company had foregone obtaining a bank loan waiver effective December 31, 2013. The Company’s management assessed that obtaining such waiver is academic, in the absence of a written notice issued by the bank, as full payment and non-imposition of any bank penalties has cured any breach of the loan covenant. Interest expense charged to operations amounted to $1,069,892 in 2013 and $816,041 in 2012 and presented as part of Finance Costs in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 14). The unpaid balance of interest amounting to $64,678 and $52,116 as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is presented as part of Accrued Expenses under the Trade and Other Payables account in the statements of financial position (see Note 12).

Accrued expenses include the current portion of the Company’s obligations to its employees and service providers that are expected to be settled within 12 months from the end of the reporting period. These liabilities arise mainly from the accrual of various expenses such as rent, freight, interest on loans and payroll at the end of the period.
Others payable also include liabilities to various agencies and regulatory bodies. 13. COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES BY NATURE

15.2 Post-employment Defined Benefit Plan
(a) Characteristics of the Defined Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a partially funded, tax-qualified, non-contributory post-employment benefit plan that is being administered by a trustee bank covering all regular full-time employees. The normal retirement age is 60 with a minimum of 5 years of credited service. The plan also provides for an early retirement at age 50 with a minimum of 10 years of credited service and late retirement after age 60, both subject to the approval of the Company’s BOD. Normal retirement benefit is an amount equivalent to 100% of the final monthly covered compensation (average monthly basic salary during the last 12 months of credited service) for every year of credited service.
(b) Explanation of Amounts Presented in the Financial Statements
Actuarial valuations are made annually to update the retirement benefit costs and the amount of contributions. All amounts presented below are based on the actuarial valuation report obtained from an independent actuary in 2013 including the comparative year which has been restated in line with the adoption of PAS 19 (Revised), see Note 2.2(a)(ii).
The amounts of post-employment defined benefit obligation recognized in the statements of financial position are determined as follows:
2013 2012 Present value of the obligation $ 415,197 $ 396,926 Fair value of plan assets ( 401,718 ) ( 408,017 ) Under (over) funded 13,479 ( 11,091 ) Effect of asset ceiling - 657 $ 13,479 ( $ 10,434 )

The components of amounts recognized in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income in respect of the defined benefit post-employment plan are as follows:
2013 2012
Reported in profit or loss:
Current service costs $ 42,726 $ 40,176 Net interest income ( 654 ) ( 1,477 ) $ 42,072 $ 38,699
Reported in other comprehensive income:
Actuarial gains (losses) arising from changes in: Financial assumptions $ 31,307 $ - Experience adjustments ( 30,796) - Return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest expense) ( 11,445) 7,430 Actuarial gain (loss) on change on the effect of the asset ceiling test 683 ( 171 ) Tax income (expense) 3,075 ( 2,178 ) ($ 7,176) $ 5,081
Current service cost is allocated and presented in the statements of profit or loss under the following accounts:
Note 2013 2012
Cost of goods sold 13 $ 35,024 $ 34,150
Administrative expenses 7,384 6,026 $ 42,726 $ 40,176
The net interest income is included in the caption Finance Income (see Note 14.2) and the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is included under item that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. In determining the amounts of the defined benefit post-employment obligation, the following significant actuarial assumptions were used:
2013 2012 Discount rates 4.37% 6.29% Expected rate of salary increases 3.00% 4.00%
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are based on published statistics and mortality tables. The average remaining working lives of an individual retiring at the age of 65 is 22 for both males and females.
F-263
- 36 -
These assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of an independent actuary. Discount factors are determined close to the end of each reporting period by reference to the interest rates of a zero coupon government bonds with terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the post-employment obligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarial benchmarks and management’s historical experience.
(c) Risks Associated with the Retirement Plan
The plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
(i) Investment and Interest Risks The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, a decrease in the interest rate of a reference government bonds will increase the plan obligation. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s investments in debt securities and if the return on plan asset falls below this rate, it will create a deficit in the plan. Currently, the plan is composed of investment in cash and cash equivalents, corporate and government debt securities. (ii) Longevity and Salary Risks The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of the plan participants both during and after their employment, and to their future salaries. Consequently, increases in the life expectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an increase in the plan obligation.
(d) Other Information
The information on the sensitivity analysis for certain significant actuarial assumptions, the Company’s asset-liability matching strategy, and the timing and uncertainty of future cash flows related to the retirement plan are described below. (i) Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is shown below.
Impact on Defined Benefit Obligation Change in Increase in Decrease in Assumption Assumption Assumption Discount rate +/-1% ( $ 29,020 ) $ 32,051 Salary increase rate +/-1% 28,153 ( 26,163 )
F-264
- 37 -
The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation recognized in the statements of financial position. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous years.
(ii) Asset-liability Matching Strategies
The Company has no specific matching strategy between the plan assets and the plan liabilities. However, concentration on government and corporate debt instruments, are evident to align securing the principal value of plan assets from volatility or high risk in loss of value.
(iii) Funding Arrangements and Expected Contributions The plan is currently underfunded by $13,479 based on the latest actuarial valuation but the Company does not expect any contribution to the retirement benefit plan in 2014. While there are no minimum funding requirement in the country, the size of the underfunding may pose a cash flow risk in about 6 years’ time when a significant number of employees is expected to retire. The maturity profile of undiscounted expected benefit payments from the plan follows:
Between 1 to 5 years $ 7,530 Between 6 to 10 years 111,318 $ 118,848
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 9.5 years.

21. CATEGORIES, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
21.1 Carrying Amounts and Fair Values by Category
The carrying amounts and fair values of the categories of assets and liabilities presented in the statements of financial position are shown below.

See Notes 2.3 and 2.7 for a description of the accounting policies for each category of financial instrument. A description of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies for financial instruments is provided in Note 4. Management considered the carrying amounts of these financial instruments to approximate their fair values as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
21.2 Fair Value Hierarchy In accordance with PFRS 13, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis and those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed in accordance with other relevant PFRS, are categorized into three levels based on the significance of inputs used to measure the fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date; b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and,
c) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.
F-271
- 44 -
For purposes of determining the market value at Level 1, a market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The Company has no financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value or that are not carried at fair value but are required to be disclosed as at December 31, 2013 and 2012. For financial asset and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost management considers that their carrying amounts approximate their fair values (see Note 21.1).
21.3 Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The Company has no financial assets and financial liabilities which are presented as net as at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Currently, certain financial assets and financial liabilities are settled on a gross basis, except for certain transactions where the customer also supplies certain raw materials to the Company and wherein such amounts can be settled on a net basis upon the approval of both parties. As such, the Company’s related outstanding receivables amounting to $5.1 million can be offset by the amount of related outstanding liabilities of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2013. There was no similar transaction source of potential offsetting in 2012.
22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES The Company’s capital management objectives are:
• To ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;
• To meet maturing obligation to creditors; and,
• To provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as presented on the face of the statements of financial position. The Company is required to meet a certain level of debt-to-equity ratio. With the declaration of cash dividend as of September 30, 2013 (see Note 19) the Company’s equity account as at December 31, 2013 significantly declined. As a result, the Company breached the level set forth in the long-term loan agreement. However, the subsequent full settlement of the loan balance as of February 27, 2014 cured bank imposed penalties, if any (see Note 11). Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as follows:
2013 2012 Total liabilities $ 58,503,306 $ 49,186,500 Total equity 16,744,884 20,901,045 Debt-to-equity ratio 3.49 : 1 2.35 : 1
The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e., equity and financial liabilities. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

GENERAL TUNA CORPORATION (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 (Amounts in United States Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION General Tuna Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 10, 1997. It is presently engaged in manufacturing and exporting private label canned, pouched and frozen tuna products. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation (CCC or the parent company), a company incorporated and domiciled in the Philippines. CCC is presently engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of canned tuna products for the Philippine market. The registered office, which is also the principal place of business, of CCC and the Company is located at 32 Arturo Drive, Bagumbayan, Taguig, Metro Manila and the Company’s processing plant is located at Brgy. Tambler, General Santos City. The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 (including the comparatives for the year ended December 31, 2011) were authorized for issue by the Company’s Vice President for Finance on April 12, 2013.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
(a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) from the pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies in the succeeding pages.
F-292

DRAFT (For Discussion Purpose Only)
(b) Presentation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company presents all items of income and expense in a single statement of comprehensive income. Two comparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position when the Company applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or reclassifies items in the financial statements. In 2012, the Company restated its 2011 financial statements to reclassify the amount of cold storage rentals, which was inadvertently included as part of the Company’s inventoriable costs in 2011, should be expensed outright as the said expense is not directly related to the cost of its inventories.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in United States (U.S.) Dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated. Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using its functional currency. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS
(a) Effective in 2012 that are Relevant to the Company
In 2012, the Company adopted the following amendments to PFRS that are relevant to the Company and effective for financial statements for the annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011 or January 1, 2012: PFRS 7 (Amendment) : Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets PAS 12 (Amendment) : Income Taxes – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets Discussed below are the relevant information about these amended standards.
(i) PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial
Assets. The amendment requires additional disclosures that will allow users of financial statements to understand the relationship between transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety and the associated liabilities; and, to evaluate the nature of, and risk associated with any continuing involvement of the reporting entity in financial assets that are derecognized in their entirety. The Company did not transfer any financial asset involving this type of arrangement; hence, the amendment did not result in any significant change in the Company’s disclosures in its financial statements.

DRAFT (For Discussion Purpose Only)
(ii) PAS 12 (Amendment), Income Taxes – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that the measurement of a deferred tax liability or asset that arises from investment property measured at fair value under PAS 40, Investment Property, should reflect the tax consequence of recovering the carrying amount of the asset entirely through sale. The presumption is rebutted for depreciable investment property (e.g., building) that is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the asset over time, rather than through sale. Moreover, Standing Interpretation Committee 21, Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets, is accordingly withdrawn and is incorporated under PAS 12 requiring that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, should always be measured on a sale basis of the asset. The amendment has no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company has no investment property while the Company’s land classified as property, plant and equipment which is measured at fair value is taxable with the same rate regardless of whether these assets will be sold or used in operation.
(b) Effective in 2012 that is not Relevant to the Company
Of the amendments to PFRS that are effective in 2012 only PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS, is not relevant to the Company.
(c) Early Adoption of Philippine Accounting Standard 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements In the preparation of the 2012 financial statements, the Company adopted early the amendment made to PAS 1, issued by the IASB and adopted by the FRSC as part of the Annual Improvements to PFRS 2009-2011 Cycle, which will be effective for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The amendment clarifies that when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in its financial statements that has a material effect on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e., opening statement of financial position), it shall present a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of that preceding period. Other than disclosures of certain specified information as described below, related notes to the opening statement of financial position are not required to be presented.

DRAFT (For Discussion Purpose Only)
(d) Effective Subsequent to 2012 but not Adopted Early
There are new PFRS, amendments, annual improvements and interpretations to existing standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2012. Management has initially determined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply in accordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial statements:
(i) PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items of Other
Comprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendment requires an entity to group items presented in other comprehensive income into those that, in accordance with other PFRSs: (a) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The Company’s management does not expect this amendment to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company does not have any transaction recognized in other comprehensive income.
(ii) PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). The revision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughout the standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows: • eliminates the corridor approach under the existing guidance of PAS 19
and requires an entity to recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising in the reporting period;
• streamlines the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilities
resulting in the disaggregation of changes into three main components of service costs, net interest on net defined benefit obligation or asset, and remeasurement; and,
• enhances disclosure requirements, including information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans.
Currently, the Company is using the corridor approach and its unrecognized actuarial loss as at December 31, 2012 amounts to $4,450 which will be retrospectively recognized as loss in other comprehensive income in 2013 (see Note 15.2).
(iii) PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendment requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and net amounts of recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment also requires disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, even if they are not set-off in the statement of financial position, including those which do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 and amounts related to a financial collateral. These disclosures will allow financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with recognized financial assets and financial liabilities on the entity’s financial position. The Company has initially assessed that the adoption of the amendment will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

(iv) PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This standard aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across PFRS. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards. Management is in the process of reviewing its valuation methodologies for conformity with the new requirements and has yet to assess the impact of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements.
(v) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment provides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right of set-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; in the event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principle behind net settlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement system that would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
(vi) PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective from January 1, 2015). This is the first part of a new standard on financial instruments that will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, in its entirety. This chapter covers the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and it deals with two measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments will be measured at fair value while debt instruments will be measured at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows which represent payment of principal and interest.
The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial assets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not they are closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation from the host contract.
For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements which include amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. To date, other chapters of PFRS 9 dealing with impairment methodology and hedge accounting are still being completed. Further, in November 2011, the IASB tentatively decided to consider making limited modifications to International Financial Reporting Standard 9’s financial asset classification model to address certain application issues.

The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until its effective date. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 on the financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct a comprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to its mandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.
(vii) 2009-2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Among those improvements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company but management does not expect a material impact on the Company’s financial statements:
(a) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification of
Servicing Equipment. The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistency in the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resulted in classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used for more than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory.
(b) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments – Presentation – Tax Effect of Distributions to Holders of Equity Instruments. The amendment clarifies that the consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized in profit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction is recognized in equity.
2.3 Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.

DRAFT (For Discussion Purpose Only)
Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method for maturities extending beyond one year, less any impairment losses. Any change in their value is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows. The Company’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented as Cash and Cash Equivalents and Trade and Other Receivables (except Deposit on purchases) in the statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
All income and expenses, excluding impairment losses and foreign currency exchange losses related to trade and other receivables, relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented as part of Finance Costs or Finance Income in the statement of comprehensive income.
Non-compounding interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured. Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial instruments expire and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. 2.4 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributable to acquisition, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost. 2.5 Property, Plant and Equipment Property and equipment, except land which is stated at fair value, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any impairment in value. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings 15 years Machinery and equipment 10 years Land improvements 10 years Transportation and delivery equipment 5 years Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. No further charge for depreciation is made in respect of those accounts. Construction-in-progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing cost and other direct costs (see Note 2.15). The account is not depreciated until such time that the assets are completed and available for use. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.13). The residual values and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An item of property, plant and equipment, including the related accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the year the item is derecognized. 2.6 Other Assets Other assets pertain to other resources controlled by the Company as a result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), are classified as non-current assets. 2.7 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities, which include interest-bearing loans, trade and other payables [except output value-added tax (VAT) and other taxes payable], advances from a stockholder and dividend payable are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. These are recognized initially at their fair values and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method for maturities beyond one year, less settlement payments. All interest-related charges incurred on financial liability are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the caption Finance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
F-299

Interest-bearing loans are raised for support of short-term or long-term funding of operations. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that these are not settled in the period in which they arise. Dividend payable to shareholders are recognized as financial liabilities when the dividends are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD). Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration.
2.8 Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 2.9 Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly, possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized in the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision.

2.10 Revenue and Expense Recognition
Revenue comprises revenue from the sale of goods measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods supplied, excluding VAT and trade discounts. Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: (a) Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods have passed to the buyer. This is generally when the buyer has taken undisputed delivery of goods.
(b) Interest Income – Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset.
Costs and expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income upon receipt of goods and/or utilization of service or at the date they are incurred. Finance costs are reported on an accrual basis, except capitalized borrowing costs which are included as part of the cost of the related qualifying assets (see Note 2.15). 2.11 Leases (a) Company as Lessee
Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are recognized as expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.
(b) Company as Lessor
Leases which do not transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
2.12 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.

DRAFT (For Discussion Purpose Only)
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are presented in the statement of comprehensive income as part of Finance Costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
2.13 Impairment of Non-financial Assets The Company’s property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell and value in use, based on an internal discounted cash flows evaluation. Impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to the recoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss.
2.14 Employee Benefits
(a) Defined Benefits Plan Post-employment benefits are provided to employees through a defined benefit plan. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s post-employment defined benefit pension plan covers all regular full-time employees. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The DBO is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using a discount rate derived from the interest rates of a zero coupon government bonds as published by Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation, that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related post-employment liability.

Actuarial gains and losses are not recognized as an income or expense unless the total unrecognized gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the obligation and related plan assets. The amount exceeding this 10% corridor is charged or credited to profit or loss over the employees’ expected average remaining working lives. Actuarial gains and losses within the 10% corridor are disclosed separately. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
(b) Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.
The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: (a) terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or (b) providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(c) Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days (including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. They are included in the Trade and Other Payables account at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement. 2.15 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as part of cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete.
2.16 Income Taxes Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any. Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rates have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same entity and the same taxation authority.
The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent a reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjusted over time as more information becomes available.
2.17 Related Party Relationships and Transactions Related party transactions are transfers of resources, services or obligations between the Company and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the Company; (b) associates; and, (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company and close members of the family of any such individual. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.

2.18 Equity Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Additional paid-in capital includes any premium received on the issuance of capital stock. Any transaction costs associated with the issuance of shares are deducted from additional paid-in capital, net of any related income tax benefits. Revaluation reserves comprise gains and losses due to the revaluation of land. Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reported in the profit or loss section of the statements of comprehensive income. 2.19 Events After the End of the Reporting Period
Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’s financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates 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. Actual results may ultimately vary from these estimates. 3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements: (a) Distinction between Operating and Finance Leases
The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Critical judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to make the right judgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of asset and liabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to be operating leases.
(b) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and contingencies. Policies on recognition and disclosure of provision and contingencies are discussed in Note 2.9 and relevant disclosures of contingencies are presented in Notes 20.

(c) Costing of Inventories
In determining cost, management uses judgment in properly allocating the labor and overhead between the cost of inventories on hand (finished goods and work-in-process) and cost of goods sold. The Company currently allocates production overhead on the basis of units produced. However, the amount of costs charged to finished goods and work-in-process inventories would differ if the Company utilized a different allocation base. Changes in allocated cost would affect the carrying cost of inventories and could potentially affect the valuation based on lower of cost and net realizable value.
3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The following are the key 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: (a) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
Adequate amount of allowance for impairment is provided for specific and group of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluates these accounts based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the length of the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’ current credit status based on third party credit reports and known market forces, the average age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience. Based on the analysis done by management, certain receivables were identified to be impaired. The carrying value of trade and other receivables and analysis of allowance for impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.
(b) Determining Net Realizable Value of Inventories
In determining the net realizable value of inventories, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the dates the estimates are made. The future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as presented in Note 7 is affected by price changes in different market segments. These are considered key sources of estimation, especially that such inventories are substantially perishable in nature and highly affective by temperature and other environmental conditions, uncertainty and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s inventories within the next financial year.
(c) Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, except land, based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets.
F-306
- 16 -
DRAFT (For Discussion Purpose Only)
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9. Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2012, there is no change in estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during the year. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above.
(d) Determining the Fair Value of Land
The Company’s land is carried at revalued amount at the end of the reporting period. In determining the fair value of the land, the Company engages the services of professional and independent appraisers. The fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as at the valuation date. Such amount is influenced by different factors including the location and specific characteristics of the property (e.g., size, features, and capacity), quantity of comparable properties available in the market, and economic condition and behaviour of the buying parties. A significant change in these elements may affect prices and the value of the asset. The amounts of revaluation and fair value gain recognized on land are disclosed in Note 9.
(e) Determining Recoverable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets
The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of the reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. The carrying value of deferred tax assets as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 which the management assessed to be probable of being utilized within the next two to three years is disclosed in Note 16.
(f) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company’s policy on estimating the impairment of non-financial assets is discussed in detail in Note 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. No impairment loss was recognized on the Company’s non-financial assets in 2012 and 2011.
(g) Valuation of Post-employment Benefits The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment defined
benefit is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates, expected return on plan assets and salary increase rate. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods.
The amount of retirement benefit obligation (asset) and expense and an analysis of the
movements in the estimated present value of retirement benefit obligation (asset) are presented in Note 15.2.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Company is exposed to certain financial risks which result from both its operating and investing activities. The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its parent company, in close cooperation with the BOD, and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short-to-medium term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below.
4.1 Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk and interest risk which result from both its operating and investing activities. (a) Foreign Currency Risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in U.S. Dollars, its functional currency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the interest-bearing loans from local banks, trade and other payables and due to a related party which are primarily denominated in Philippine peso. The Company also holds Philippine peso-denominated cash.
To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-U.S. dollar cash flows are regularly monitored.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities (in Philippine pesos), translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rate are as follows:
2012 2011 Short-term exposure: Financial assets $ 2,095,713 $ 2,722,256 Financial liabilities ( 48,472,975 ) ( 45,270,647 ) ( 46,377,262 ) ( 42,548,391 )
Long-term exposure –
Financial liabilities ( 364,148 ) ( 1,707,339 ) Net exposure ( $ 46,741,410 ) ( $ 44,255,730 )
The sensitivity of the net results in regards to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the U.S. dollar – Philippine peso exchange rate assumes a +/-15.90% and +/-16.23% change of the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso exchange rate in 2012 and 2011, respectively. These percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates, using standard deviation, in the previous 12 months, estimated at 99% level of confidence. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Company’s foreign currency financial instruments held at the end of each reporting period, with effect estimated from the beginning of the year.

If the Philippine peso had strengthened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have the following impact:

If the Philippine peso had weakened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have a reverse impact by the same amounts as above.
The exchange rates used to translate Philippine peso – denominated financial assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was P41.19:$1 and P43.93:$1, respectively. The Company actively monitors the volatility of the foreign currency exchange rates to manage its foreign currency exposure.
Exposures to foreign currency exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Company’s currency risk.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
The Company has limited exposure to changes in market interest rates through its interest-bearing loans and cash and cash equivalents, which are subject to variable interest rates. These financial instruments have historically shown small or measured changes in interest rates. All other financial assets and liabilities have fixed rates.
4.2 Credit Risk Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the face of the statements of financial position (or in the detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below.
Notes 2012 2011
Cash and cash equivalents 5 $ 2,201,717 $ 2,058,243 Trade and other receivables 6 4,619,685 5,446,965 $ 6,823,233 $ 7,507,092 As part of Company policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions. Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of (P500,000) per depositor per banking institution, as provided for under Republic Act No. 9576, Charter of PDIC, are still subject to credit risk. Trade and other receivables, as presented above, exclude deposit on purchases of $501,407 as of December 31, 2011. There was no outstanding balance of deposit on purchases as of December 31, 2012.

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at a reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. In addition, for a significant proportion of sales, advance payments are received to mitigate credit risk.
The Company’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each reporting period are off good credit quality.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Financial assets that are past due but not impaired are as follows: 2012 2011 Less than one year $ 144,024 $ 51,756 More than one year 259 16,065
$ 144,283 $ 67,821
The fair value of these short-term financial assets is not individually determined as the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. 4.3 Liquidity Risk
The ability of the Company to finance its operations and to meet obligations as these become due is extremely crucial to its viability as a business entity. The Company adopts a prudent liquidity risk management where it maintains sufficient cash to meet trade and other short-term payables as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in a day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a six-month and one-year period are identified monthly. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets. As at December 31, 2012, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities which are presented below. Current Non-current

Trade receivables are usually due within 30 to 45 days and do not bear any interest. All trade and other receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. However, the Company does not identify specific concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade and other receivables as the amounts recognized resemble a large number of receivables from various customers and counterparties.
Deposit on purchases pertains to advances made to suppliers for goods ordered. This is applied against billings from the suppliers upon the completion of such order; accordingly, not considered as financed assets (see also Note 4.2). All of the Company’s trade and other receivables have been reviewed for indicators of impairment. Certain receivables were identified to be impaired, hence, adequate amounts of allowance for impairment have been recognized. The Company recognized impairment losses on certain trade receivables amounting $75,500 in 2012 and $68,783 in 2011 and presented them as part of Impairment Loss on Trade and Other Receivables under Administrative Expense in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 13).

19.3 Prior Period Adjustments In 2012, the Company’s management determined that the amount of cold storage rentals, which was inadvertently included as part of the Company’s inventoriable costs in 2011, should be expensed outright as the said expense is not directly related to the cost of its inventories. Accordingly, the balance of Retained Earnings as at January 1, 2012 has been restated from the amount previously reported to recognize the effects such change.
The restatement resulted in a decrease in the amount of the previously reported Retained Earnings by $857,231 as of January 1, 2012 and decrease in previously reported net profit by the same amount in 2011.

SNOW MOUNTAIN DAIRY CORPORATION (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Century Pacific Food, Inc.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2013 and 2012
(Amounts in Philippine Pesos) 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 14, 2001. It started commercial operations in November 2002. The Company is engaged in producing, canning, freezing, preserving, refining, packing, buying and selling at wholesale and retail, food products including all kinds of milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetable juices and other milk or dairy preparations and by-products. The Company is a subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation (CCC) until October 31, 2013 when CCC transferred for a consideration its 100% ownership interest in the Company to Century Pacific Food, Inc. (CPFI or the new parent company) as part of the corporate reorganization undertaken by the Century Pacific Group (the Group) within which CCC is the parent company (see also Note 17.1). CPFI is a newly incorporated subsidiary of CCC, which is now the Company’s ultimate parent company. CCC is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of canned tuna products for the Philippine market. CPFI will soon operate as a food manufacturing company. On January 7, 2014, the Board of Directors resolved to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation due to the change in the address of its registered office, which is also its principal place of business, from No.48 Amang Rodriguez Avenue, Ignacio Complex, Manggahan, Pasig City to 32 Arturo Drive, Bagumbayan, Taguig, Metro Manila as part of the Company’s expansion activities (see Note 9). The amendment was accordingly approved by the SEC on February 26, 2014. The ultimate parent and parent company’s registered office, which is also their principal place of business, is located at Suite 505 Centerpoint Building, Julia Vargas St., Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 (including the comparatives financial statements for December 31, 2012 and the corresponding figures as of January 1, 2012) were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 7, 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
(a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS)
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with PFRS. PFRS are adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council from the pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.
(b) Presentation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company presents all items of income and expenses and other comprehensive income in a single statement of comprehensive income. The Company presents a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period when it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period. The related notes to the third statement of financial position are not required to be disclosed. The Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits, resulted in material retrospective restatements on certain accounts in the comparative financial statements for December 31, 2012 and in the corresponding figures as of January 1, 2012 [see Note 2(a)(ii)]. Accordingly, the Company presents a third statement of financial position as at January 1, 2012 without the related notes, except for the disclosures required under PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated. Items included in the financial statements are measured using its functional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS
(a) Effective in 2013 that is Relevant to the Company
In 2013, the Company adopted for the first time the following new, amendments, revision and improvements to PFRS that are relevant to the Company and effective for financial statements for the annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 or January 1, 2013:
PAS 1 (Amendment) : Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income PAS 19 (Revised) : Employee Benefits PFRS 7 (Amendment) : Financial Instrument: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities PFRS 13 : Fair Value Measurement Annual Improvements : Annual Improvements to PFRS (2009 – 2011 Cycle) Discussed below are the relevant information about these new, amended and revised standards and the corresponding impact in the Company’s financial statements.
(i) PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items of
Other Comprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendment requires an entity to group items presented in other comprehensive income into those that, in accordance with other PFRS: (a) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss, and, (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The amendment has been applied retrospectively, hence, the presentation of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Management determined that the amendment did not significantly affect the financial statements as its other comprehensive income is only comprised of actuarial gains and losses on post-employment defined benefit obligation, an item which is not reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.
(ii) PAS 19 (Revised 2011), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). The revision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughout the standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows:
• eliminates the corridor approach and requires the recognition of remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses) arising in the reporting period in other comprehensive income;
• changes the measurement and presentation of certain components of the defined benefit cost. The net amount in profit or loss is affected by the removal of the expected return on plan assets and interest cost components and their replacement by a net interest expense or income based on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and,
• enhances disclosure requirements, including information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans.

The Company has applied PAS 19 (Revised) retrospectively in accordance with its transitional provision. Consequently, it restated the previous years presented. An analysis of the effect of the adjustments on the specific assets, liabilities, and equity components affected is presented below.

F-344
- 5 -
(iii) PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendment requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and net amounts of recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment also requires disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, even if they are not set-off in the statement of financial position, including those which do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 and amounts related to a financial collateral. These disclosures will allow financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with recognized financial assets and financial liabilities on the entity’s financial position. This amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company has no and does not expect to have offsetting arrangements (see Note 20).
(iv) PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This new standard clarifies the definition of fair value and provides guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The requirements under the this standard do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied to both financial instrument items and non-financial items for which other PFRS require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements, except in certain circumstances. The amendment applies prospectively from annual periods beginning January 1, 2013; hence, disclosure requirements need not be resented in the comparative information in the first year of application. Other than the additional disclosures presented in Note 21, the application of this new standard had no significant impact in the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
(v) 2009-2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Among those improvements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company:
(a) PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements – Clarification of the Requirements for Comparative Information. The amendment clarifies that a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third statement of financial position) is required when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in the third statement of financial position. The amendment specifies that other than disclosure of certain specified information in accordance with PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, related notes to the third statement of financial position are not required to be presented. Consequent to the Company’s adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) in the current year, which resulted in retrospective restatement of the prior years’ financial statements, the Company has presented a third statement of financial position as at January 1, 2012 without the related notes, except for the disclosure requirements of PAS 8, as allowed under this amendment to PAS 1.
F-345
- 6 -
(b) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification of Servicing Equipment. The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistency in the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resulted in classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used for more than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory. This amendment has no significant effect on the financial statements since the Company has already been applying the classification requirements of this amendment for the abovementioned spare parts and equipment in accordance with the recognition criteria under PAS 16.
(c) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments : Presentation – Tax Effect of Distributions to Holders of Equity Instruments. The amendment clarifies that the consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized in profit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction is recognized in equity. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company’s accounting policy on tax effect of transactions involving equity instruments is in accordance with the amendment.
(b) Effective in 2013 that are not Relevant to the Company
The following new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing standards are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on after January 1, 2013 but are not relevant to the Company’s financial statements:
PAS 27 (Amendment) : Separate Financial Statements PAS 28 (Amendment) : Investment in Associate and Joint Venture PFRS 1 (Amendment) : First-time Adoption of PFRS – Government Loans PFRS 10 : Consolidated Financial Statements PFRS 11 : Joint Arrangements PFRS 12 : Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities PFRS 10, 11 and PFRS 12 (Amendment) : Amendments to PFRS 10, 11 and 12 – Transition Guidance to PFRS 10, 11 and 12 Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 20 : Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle PFRS 1 (Amendment) : First-time Adoption of PFRS – Repeated Application of PFRS 1 and Borrowing Cost PAS 34 (Amendment) : Interim Financial Reporting – Interim Financial Reporting and Segment Information for Total Assets and Liabilities
(c) Effective Subsequent to 2013 but not Adopted Early There are new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2013. Management has initially determined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply in accordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial statements:
(i) PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – Employee
Contributions (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies that if the amount of the contributions from employees or third parties is dependent on the number of years of service, an entity shall attribute the contributions to periods of service using the same attribution method (i.e., either using the plan’s contribution formula or on a straight-line basis) for the gross benefit. Management has initially determined that this amendment will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment provides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right of set-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; in the event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principle behind net settlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement system that would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
(iii) PAS 36 (Amendment), Impairment of Assets – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment clarifies that the requirements for the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is limited only to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is based on fair value less cost of disposal. It also introduces an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount based on fair value less cost of disposal is determined using a present value technique. Management will reflect in its subsequent year’s financial statements the changes arising from this relief on disclosure requirements.
F-347
- 8 -
(iv) PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (effective January 1, 2014). The amendment provides some relief from the requirements on hedge accounting by allowing entities to continue the use of hedge accounting when a derivative is novated to a clearing counterparty resulting in termination or expiration of the original hedging instrument as a consequence of laws and regulations, or the introduction thereof. As the Company neither enters into transactions involving derivative instruments nor it applies hedge accounting, the amendment will not have any impact on the financial statements.
(v) PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. This is the first part
of a new standard on financial instruments that will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, in its entirety. The first phase of the standard was issued on November 2009 and October 2010 and contains new requirements and guidance for the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: amortized cost or fair value. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost. All other debt instruments and equity instruments are measured at fair value. In addition, PFRS 9 allows entities to make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial assets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not they are closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation from the host contract. For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements which include amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to the liability’s credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.
In November 2013, the IASB has published amendments to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 that contain new chapter and model on hedge accounting that provides significant improvements principally by aligning hedge accounting more closely with the risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging their financial and non-financial risk exposures. The amendment also now requires changes in the fair value of an entity’s own debt instruments caused by changes in its own credit quality to be recognized in other comprehensive income rather in profit or loss. It also includes the removal of the January 1, 2015 mandatory effective date of IFRS 9.
F-348
- 9 -
To date, the remaining chapter of IFRS 9 and PFRS 9 dealing with impairment methodology is still being completed. Further, the IASB is currently discussing some limited modifications to address certain application issues regarding classification of financial assets and to provide other considerations in determining business model. The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until its effective date. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 on the financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct a comprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to its mandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.
(vi) Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle) and PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Among those improvements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company but management does not expect a material impact on the Company’s financial statements: Annual Improvements to PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle) (a) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment and PAS 38 (Amendment), Intangible Assets. The amendments clarify that when an item of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets is revalued, the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with a revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset.
(b) PAS 24 (Amendment), Related Party Disclosures. The amendment clarifies
that entity providing key management services to a reporting entity is deemed to be a related party of the latter. It also requires and clarifies that the amounts incurred by the reporting entity for key management personnel services that are provided by a separate management entity should be disclosed in the financial statements, and not the amounts of compensation paid or payable by the key management entity to its employees or directors.
(c) PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement. The amendment, through a revision only in the basis of conclusion of PFRS 13, clarifies that issuing PFRS 13 and amending certain provisions of PFRS 9 and PAS 39 related to discounting of financial instruments, did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate on an undiscounted basis, when the effect of not discounting is immaterial.
Annual Improvement to PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle) PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement. The amendment clarifies that the scope of the exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis (the portfolio exception) applies to all contracts within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, PAS 39 or PFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in PAS 32.

2.3 Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and related transaction costs that are recognized in profit or loss. The financial assets category that is relevant to the Company is loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment loss, if any. Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred), discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate or current effective interest rate determined under the contract if the loan has a variable interest rate. The Company’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented as Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables (except deposit on purchases) and as part of Other Non-current Assets, with respect to security deposits included therein, in the statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. All income and expenses, excluding those that relate to operating activities, relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Non-compounding interest, and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured. Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to another party.
F-350

2.4 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributable to acquisitions, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost.
2.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Plant, machinery and equipment 2 to 10 yearsLaboratory tools and equipment 1 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the useful lives of the assets of 1 to 10 years, whichever is shorter. Construction-in-progress represents properties undergoing construction. It is stated at cost which includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing costs (see Note 2.15) and other direct costs. This account is not depreciated until such time that the assets are completed and available for use. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. No further charge for depreciation is made in respect of those accounts. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.13). The residual values and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An item of property, plant and equipment, including related accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment losses, if any, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognized.
F-351
- 12 -
2.6 Prepayments and Other Assets Prepayment and other assets pertain to the other resources controlled by the Company as a result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), are classified as non-current assets. 2.7 Trademarks The cost of trademarks is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other considerations given up to acquire the trademark. The Company’s trademark is not amortized but tested for impairment annually [see Notes 2.13 and 3.1(a)].
2.8 Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Company include trade and other payables (except tax-related liabilities) and due to related parties which are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. All interest-related charges incurred on a financial liability that relates to financing activities are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the caption Finance Costs (Income) – net in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using effective interest method for maturities of more than one year, less settlement payments. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled within one year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities. Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss. 2.9 Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
F-352
- 13 -
2.10 Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. The provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly, possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized in the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision. 2.11 Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue comprises of revenue from the sale of goods measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods sold excluding value-added tax (VAT) and any trade discounts. Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. In addition, the following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: (a) Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods have passed to the buyer, i.e. generally when the customer has acknowledged delivery of goods.
(b) Interest income – Recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset.
Costs and expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon receipt of goods, utilization of services or at the date they are incurred. All finance costs are reported in profit or loss on an accrual basis, except capitalized borrowing costs which are included as part of the cost of the related qualifying asset (see Note 2.15).
F-353
- 14 -
2.12 Leases – Company as Lessee Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred. The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 2.13 Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company’s trademarks, having an indefinite useful life, are tested for impairment annually. Property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating unit). As a result, assets are tested for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, based on an internal evaluation of discounted cash flow. Impairment loss is charged pro-rata to other assets in the cash-generating unit.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
2.14 Employee Benefits
(a) Defined Benefit Plan
The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through a defined benefit plan.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s defined benefit post-employment plan covers all regular full-time employees. The pension plan is tax-qualified, non-contributory and administered by a trustee.
F-354
- 15 -
The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The DBO is calculated every other year by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using a discount rate derived from the interest rate of a zero coupon government bonds as published by Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms of maturity approximating to the terms of the related post-employment liability. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the return on plan assets (excluding amount included in net interest) are reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest is reported as part of Finance Costs (Income) – net account in the statement of profit or loss. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period of any plan amendment.
(b) Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of when it can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefits and when it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of PAS 37, Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting period are discounted to their present value.
(c) Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days (including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. They are included in the Trade and Other Payables account in the statement of financial position at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.
2.15 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete.
F-355
- 16 -
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
2.16 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in Philippine pesos. Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.
Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of profit or loss from operations.
2.17 Income Taxes Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.
Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated using the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the period. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss. Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rates have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
F-356
- 17 -
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes related to the same entity and the same taxation authority. The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent a reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjusted over time as more information becomes available.
2.18 Related Party Relationships and Transactions
Related party transactions are transfer of resources, services or obligations between the Company and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the Company; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company and close members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) the Company’s retirement plan. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.
2.19 Equity
Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Deposits for future stock subscriptions represent deposits from the parent company as payment for future subscriptions. Other reserve represents actuarial gains and losses arising from the remeasurements of the Company’s net post-employment defined benefit obligation (asset) [see Note 2(a)(ii)]. Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reported in the profit or loss section of the statement of comprehensive income reduced by the amounts of dividend declared.
2.20 Events After the End of the Reporting Period Any post-period-end event that provides additional information about the Company’s financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the financial statements. Post-period-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates 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. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.
3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
(a) Determining the Useful Lives of Trademark
Under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, the legal life of trademark is 10 years and may be perpetually renewed thereafter for another 10 years. However, considering that the management does not expect any circumstances or events which will cause it to decide not to renew its trademarks every 10 years, management has taken the position that the useful lives of its trademarks are indefinite; hence the related costs are not amortized but subjected to annual impairment testing (see Notes 2.7 and 2.13). Changes in assumption and circumstances in the future will substantially affect the financial statements of the Company, particularly the carrying value of such asset.
No impairment loss on trademark was recognized in both periods based on management evaluation. The carrying value of the Company’s trademark as at December 31, 2013 and 2012 is presented in Note 10.
(b) Distinction between Operating and Finance Leases
The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to make the right judgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of assets and liabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to be operating leases.
(c) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies
Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and contingencies. Accounting policies on recognition of provisions and contingencies are discussed in Notes 2.10 and disclosure on relevant provision and contingencies are presented in Note 19.
F-358
- 19 -
3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The following are the key 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 period:
(a) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
Adequate amount of allowance is made for specific and groups of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluates these accounts based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the length of the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’ current credit status based on known market forces, average age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience.
Based on the analysis done by management, certain receivables were identified to be impaired and have been provided with adequate allowance for impairment. The carrying value of trade and other receivables and the analysis of allowance for impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.
(b) Determining Net Realizable Value of Inventories
In determining the net selling prices of inventories, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the times the estimates are made. It also takes into consideration the obsolescence of the inventory in determining net realizable value. The future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as disclosed in Note 7 is affected by price changes in different market segments. These aspects are considered key sources of estimation uncertainty and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s inventories within the next financial period. Impairment loss on inventory amounting to P4.5 million relating to expired inventories that were written down to net realizable value is recognized in 2013 (see Note 7). No similar writedown on inventories was made in 2012.
(c) Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9. Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, there is no change in estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during those periods. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above.
F-359
- 20 -
(d) Determining Realizable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Management assessed that the deferred tax assets recognized as of December 31, 2013 will be fully utilized in the coming years. The details of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 are disclosed in Note 16.
(e) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Except for trademarks with indefinite useful lives which are reviewed for impairment annually or regularly, PFRS requires that an impairment review be performed when certain impairment indicators are present. The Company’s policy on estimating the impairment of non-financial assets is discussed in detail in Note 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. No impairment loss on non-financial assets was recognized in 2013 and 2012.
(f) Valuation of Post-employment Defined Benefit
The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment defined benefit are dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates and salary increase rates. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. The amount of post-employment benefit obligation (asset), related expense and an analysis of the movements in the estimated present value of post-employment benefit obligation and fair value of plan asset are presented in Note 15.2.
4. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Company is exposed to certain financial risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 20. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its Board of Directors (BOD), and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets.
F-360
- 21 -
The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below. 4.1 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments arising from selling goods to customers, including related parties, providing security deposits to lessors, and placing deposits with banks. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the statements of financial position (or in detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below.
Notes 2013 2012
Cash and cash equivalents 5 42,985,172 P 36,424,315 P
Trade and
other receivables – net 6 258,579,504 246,999,008
Security deposits 10 1,780,295 1,780,295
303,344,971 P 285,203,618 P
None of the Company’s financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit enhancements, except for cash and cash equivalents as described below. (a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Included in the cash and cash equivalents are cash in banks and short-term placements. As part of Company policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions. Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of P500,000 per depositor per banking institution, as provided for under Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9576, Charter of PDIC, are still subject to credit risk. (b) Trade and Other Receivables In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates, management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.
F-361
- 22 -
Some of the financial assets, which are all trade receivables, are past due but unimpaired as at the end of the reporting periods. Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired are as follows:
2013 2012
Not more than three months 78,650,977 P 48,647,741 P
More than three months but not morethan six months 6,546,544 24,223,084
85,197,521 P 72,870,825 P
The fair value of these short-term financial assets is not individually determined as the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. 4.2 Liquidity Risk The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 6-month and one-year period are identified monthly. The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets. As at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities within six months or less.
4.3 Foreign Currency Risk Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Philippine pesos, its functional
currency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s overseas purchases, which are denominated in United States (U.S.) dollars. The Company also holds U.S. dollar-denominated cash in banks.
To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-Philippine peso cash flows are monitored and settled within a short period, in the case of liabilities. Accordingly, the Company does not have significant exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.

5. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The breakdown of this account are as follows:
2013 2012
Cash in banks 42,985,172 P 35,381,811 P
Cash on hand 6,171,646 508,800 Short-term placements - 1,042,504
49,156,818 P 36,933,115 P
Cash in banks generally earn interest at rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term placements are made for varying periods between 30 to 90 days and earn effective interest ranging from 1.63% to 2.25% for both periods. Interest income earned amounting to P91,267 in 2013 and P165,794 in 2012 is presented as part of Finance Costs (Income) – net in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 14).

The cost of inventories charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are analysed in Note 13.
In 2013, the Company’s management determined that certain raw materials and finished goods may no longer be used in production nor the carrying amounts can be recovered through sale. Accordingly, the Company recognized impairment loss on inventory amounting to P4.5 million which is presented as Loss on inventory obsolescence under Administrative Expenses in the 2013 statement of comprehensive income [see Notes 3.2(b) and 13]. There was no loss on inventory obsolescence recognized in 2012.
The Company has a warehouse located in Tacloban City, Leyte. In November 2013, the warehouse facility was destroyed by a typhoon that resulted in estimated inventory losses of P2.8 million, which is equivalent to the claims filed with the insurance company. The said claim is still outstanding as at December 31, 2013 and is presented as part of Others under the Trade and Other Receivables in the 2013 statement of financial position (see Note 6). There was no similar transaction in 2012.

Construction-in-progress pertains to the accumulated costs incurred on the ongoing construction, which started in 2013, of the Company’s new production plant and administration building as part of the Company’s expansion activities (see Notes 1 and 19.2). As at December 31, 2013, the construction is not yet complete. The cost of fully depreciated property, plant and equipment as at December 31, 2013 and 2012 which are still being used in operations amounts to P82,828,129 and P46,505,687, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any borrowing cost related to their general borrowings in 2013, since management determined that the effect is not material to the financial statements.

In July 2008, the Company purchased from General Milling Corporation (GMC) certain trademarks owned and registered with the Intellectual Property Office under the name of GMC. As discussed in Note 3.1(a), the Company’s trademarks are subject to annual impairment testing. No impairment losses were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as the recoverable amounts of the trademarks were determined to be higher than their carrying values. Security deposits pertain to deposits required under the terms of the lease agreements of the Company with certain lessors. The carrying amount of these deposits is a reasonable approximation of its fair value based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Accrued expenses include obligations relating to trucking and shipment fee, consultancy and management fee and salaries and employee benefits. Other payables consist of various payables to government agencies which includes taxes and employer’s shares in certain mandatory employee benefits. Due to the short duration of trade and other payables, management considers the carrying amounts to be a reasonable approximation of fair values.
12. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS On October 30, 2013, the Company obtained two unsecured interest-bearing loans from a local bank for its working capital and capital expenditure requirements (see Note 19.2) totalling to P540.0 million. These loans both bear fixed interest rate of 2.5% per annum and are to be repaid on November 30, 2013. In November and December 2013, the Company repaid a portion of these loans amounting to P325.0 million. The outstanding balance of these unsecured interest-bearing loans as at December 31, 2013 is presented as Interest-Bearing Loans in the 2013 statement of financial position. Interest expense arising from these loans which amounted to P1.6 million is presented as part of Finance costs under Finance Costs (Income) – Net in the 2013 statement of comprehensive income (see Note 14). There is no outstanding interest payable as of December 31, 2013.

(a) Characteristics of the Defined Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a fully funded, tax-qualified, non-contributory post-employment benefit plan that is being administered by a trustee bank covering all regular full-time employees. The normal retirement age is 60 with a minimum of 5 years of credited service. The plan also provides for an early retirement at age 50 with a minimum of 10 years of credited service and late retirement after age 65, both subject to the approval of the Company’s BOD. Normal retirement benefit is an amount equivalent to 100% of the final monthly covered compensation (average monthly basic salary during the last 12 months of credited service) for every year of credited service.

Net interest expense is included in Finance Costs (Income) – net account in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 14). The amount recognized in other comprehensive income was classified as item that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. In determining the amounts of the post-employment benefit obligation, the following significant actuarial assumptions were used:
2013 2012
Discount rates 4.63% 5.62%Expected rate of salary increases 3.00% 2.00%
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are based on published statistics and mortality tables. The average remaining working lives of an individual retiring at the age of 60 is 22 for males and 30 for females. These assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of an independent actuary. Discount factors are determined close to the end of each reporting period by reference to the interest rates of a zero coupon bond government bonds with terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the retirement obligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarial benchmarks and management’s historical experience.
(c) Risks Associated with the Retirement Plan
The plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
(i) Investment and Interest Risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, a decrease in the interest rate of a reference government bond will increase the plan obligation. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s investments in debt securities and if the return on plan asset falls below this rate, it will create a deficit in the plan. Currently, the plan has significant investment in debt instruments.
F-374
- 35 -
(ii) Longevity and Salary Risks The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of the plan participants both during and after their employment and to their future salaries. Consequently, increases in the life expectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an increase in the plan obligation.
(d) Other Information
The information on the sensitivity analysis for certain significant actuarial assumptions, the Company’s asset-liability matching strategy, and the timing and uncertainty of future cash flows related to the retirement plan are described as follows:
(i) Sensitivity Analysis
The following table summarizes the effects of changes in the significant actuarial assumptions used in the determination of the defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2013:
Change in Increase in Decrease inassumption assumption assumption
Salary increase rate +9.3% to - 8.5% 238,550 P 217,830 )( P
Discount rate +10.3% to - 9.1% 234,207 )( 263,271
Impact on post-employment define benefit obligation
The sensitivity analysis in the foregoing table is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the previous page sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the statements of financial position. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous years. (ii) Asset-liability Matching Strategies
To efficiently manage the retirement plan, the Company ensures that the investment positions are managed in accordance with its asset-liability matching strategy to achieve that long-term investments are in line with the obligations under the retirement scheme. This strategy aims to match the plan assets to the retirement obligations by investing in long-term fixed interest securities (i.e., government or corporate bonds) with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due and in the appropriate currency. The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the retirement benefit obligations.
F-375
- 36 -
In view of this, investments are made in reasonably diversified portfolio congruent to the level of credit risks identified on such investments, such that the failure of any single investment will be minimized and would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets. A large portion of the plan assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consists of debt securities, although the Company also invests in cash and cash equivalents and other forms of investments. The Company believes that the debt securities which mainly represent government bond investments offer the best returns over the long term with an acceptable level of risk. There has been no change in the Company’s strategies to manage its risks from previous periods.
(iii) Funding Arrangements and Expected Contributions The plan is currently overfunded by P0.6 million based on the latest actuarial valuation. While there are no minimum funding requirement in the country, expected retirement of significant number of employees may pose a cash flow risk in about 12 years’ time. The maturity profile of undiscounted expected benefits payments from the plan is between 6 to 10 years amounting to P1.1 million. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 12 years.

17.2 Deposits for Future Stock Subscriptions
On October 18, 2012, the Company filed an application with the SEC for its proposed increase in authorized capital stock from P50.0 million divided into 5,000,000 to P500.0 million divided into 50,000,000 shares with the same par value per share of P10. This was previously approved by the Company’s BOD on December 6, 2011. In compliance with the SEC’s rules relating to the foregoing, the Company applied a portion of the parent company’s advances to the Company amounting to P45,500,000 (see Note 18.2) and the parent company’s previously recognized Deposits for Future Stock Subscriptions amounting to P150,383,200 as subscription payments. As at December 31, 2012, approval of the application is still pending with the SEC. Accordingly, the subscription payments were presented as Deposits for Future Stock Subscriptions in the 2012 statement of financial position. Subsequently, on April 15, 2013, the SEC approved the Company’s proposed increase in authorized capital stock. Accordingly, on the same date, the Company issued 19,588,320 shares to CCC by applying its deposits on future stock subscription of P195,883,200 on the subscription price which equals the par value of the shares; hence, no additional paid-in-capital arose from this equity transaction. 17.3 Dividends Declaration The BOD approved the declaration of cash dividend amounting to P64.0 million on September 30, 2013 payable to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2013. The cash dividend was fully settled in October 2013. There was no dividend declaration in 2012.

21. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE 21.1 Fair Value Hierarchy In accordance with PFRS 13, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis and those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed in accordance with other relevant PFRS, are categorized into three levels based on the significance of inputs used to measure the fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date; b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and, c) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement. For purposes of determining the market value at Level 1, a market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The Company has no financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value or that are not carried at fair value but are required to be disclosed as at December 31, 2013 and 2012. For financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost management consider that their carrying amounts approximate their fair value (see Note 20).
22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s capital management objectives are:
• To ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; and,
• To provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as presented in the statements of financial position. Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as follows:
2013 2012
Total liabilities 382,700,569 P 613,684,651 P
Total equity 507,020,643 264,805,255
Debt-to-equity ratio 0.75 : 1 2.32 : 1
F-384
- 45 -
The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e., equity and liabilities. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

SNOW MOUNTAIN DAIRY CORPORATION (A Subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 (Amounts in Philippine Pesos)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
1.1 Incorporation and Operations Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 14, 2001. It started commercial operations in November 2002. The Company is engaged in producing, canning, freezing, preserving, refining, packing, buying and selling at wholesale and retail, food products including all kinds of milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetable juices and other milk or dairy preparations and by-products. In December 2011, the Company became a subsidiary of Century Canning Corporation (CCC or the parent company), a company incorporated and domiciled in the Philippines. CCC is presently engaged in manufacturing and distribution of canned tuna products for the Philippine market. The registered office of the Company, which is also its principal place of business, is located at No. 48 Amang Rodriguez Avenue, Ignacio Complex, Manggahan, Pasig City. CCC’s registered office, which is also its principal place of business, is located at 32 Arturo Drive, Bagumbayan, Taguig, Metro Manila.
1.2 Approval of Financial Statements
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 (including the comparatives for the year ended December 31, 2011) were authorized for issue by the Company’s Vice President for Finance on April 12, 2013.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
(a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council from the pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
F-403
- 2 -
The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expenses. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.
(b) Presentation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company presents all items of income and expenses in a single statement of comprehensive income. Two comparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position when the Company applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or reclassifies items in the financial statements.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated. Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using its functional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS (a) Effective in 2012 that is Relevant to the Company
In 2012, the Company adopted PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets, effective for financial statements for the annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The amendment requires additional disclosures that will allow users of financial statements to understand the relationship between transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety and the associated liabilities; and, to evaluate the nature of, and risk associated with any continuing involvement of the reporting entity in financial assets that are derecognized in their entirety. The Company did not transfer any financial asset involving this type of arrangement; hence, the amendment did not result in any significant change in the Company’s disclosures in its financial statements.
(b) Effective in 2012 that are not Relevant to the Company
The following amendments and improvement to PFRS are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011 or January 1, 2012 but are not relevant to the Company’s financial statements: PFRS 1 (Amendment) : First time adoption of PFRS – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Date for First-time Adopters PAS 12 (Amendment) : Income Taxes – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
F-404
- 3 -
(c) Effective Subsequent to 2012 but not Adopted Early There are new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2012. Management has initially determined the following pronouncements, which the Company will apply in accordance with their transitional provisions, to be relevant to its financial statements:
(i) PAS 1 (Amendment), Financial Statements Presentation – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (effective from July 1, 2012). The amendment requires an entity to group items presented in other comprehensive income into those that, in accordance with other PFRSs: (a) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The Company’s management expects that this will not change the current presentation of items in other comprehensive income.
(ii) PAS 19 (Revised), Employee Benefits (effective from January 1, 2013). The revision made a number of changes as part of the improvements throughout the standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans as follows:
• eliminates the corridor approach under the existing guidance of PAS 19 and requires an entity to recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising in the reporting period;
• streamlines the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilities resulting in the disaggregation of changes into three main components of service costs, net interest on net defined benefit obligation or asset, and remeasurement; and,
• enhances disclosure requirements, including information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans.
Currently, the Company is using the corridor approach and its unrecognized actuarial loss as at December 31, 2012 which amounts to P1.1 million (see Note 14.2) which will be retrospectively recognized as loss in other comprehensive income in 2013.
(iii) PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2013). The amendment requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to gross and net amounts of recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment also requires disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, even if they are not set-off in the statement of financial position, including those which do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria under PAS 32 and amounts related to a financial collateral. These disclosures will allow financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with recognized financial assets and financial liabilities on the entity’s financial position. The Company has initially assessed that the adoption of the amendment will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
F-405
- 4 -
(iv) PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (effective from January 1, 2013). This standard aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across PFRS. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards. Management is in the process of reviewing its valuation methodologies for conformity with the new requirements and has yet to assess the impact of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements.
(v) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective from January 1, 2014). The amendment provides guidance to address inconsistencies in applying the criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It clarifies that a right of set-off is required to be legally enforceable, in the normal course of business; in the event of default; and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties. The amendment also clarifies the principle behind net settlement and provided characteristics of a gross settlement system that would satisfy the criterion for net settlement. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
(vi) PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (effective from
January 1, 2015). This is the first part of a new standard on financial instruments that will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, in its entirety. This chapter covers the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and it deals with two measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments will be measured at fair value while debt instruments will be measured at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows which represent payment of principal and interest. The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial assets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not they are closely related, and, in most arrangement, does not require separation from the host contract. For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements which include amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in case where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. To date, other chapters of PFRS 9 dealing with impairment methodology and hedge accounting are still being completed. Further, in November 2011, the IASB tentatively decided to consider making limited modifications to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9’s financial asset classification model to address certain application issues.
F-406
- 5 -
The Company does not expect to implement and adopt PFRS 9 until its effective date. In addition, management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 on the financial statements of the Company and it plans to conduct a comprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to its mandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.
(vii) 2009-2011 Annual Improvements to PFRS. Annual improvements to PFRS (2009-2011 Cycle) made minor amendments to a number of PFRS, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Among those improvements, the following amendments are relevant to the Company but management does not expect a material impact on the Company’s financial statements:
(a) PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements – Clarification of the Requirements for Comparative Information. The amendment clarifies the requirements for presenting comparative information for the following:
• Requirements for opening statement of financial position
If an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a material effect on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period (i.e., opening statement of financial position), it shall present such third statement of financial position. Other than disclosure of certain specified information in accordance with PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, related notes to the opening statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period are not required to be presented.
• Requirements for additional comparative information beyond minimum requirements If an entity presented comparative information in the financial statements beyond the minimum comparative information requirements, the additional financial statements information should be presented in accordance with PFRS including disclosure of comparative information in the related notes for that additional information. Presenting additional comparative information voluntarily would not trigger a requirement to provide a complete set of financial statements.
(b) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification of Servicing Equipment. The amendment addresses a perceived inconsistency in the classification requirements for servicing equipment which resulted in classifying servicing equipment as part of inventory when it is used for more than one period. It clarifies that items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment shall be recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, otherwise, these are classified as inventory.
F-407
- 6 -
(c) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments : Presentation – Tax Effect of Distributions to Holders of Equity Instruments. The amendment clarifies that the consequences of income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with PAS 12. Accordingly, income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognized in profit or loss while income tax related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction is recognized in equity.
2.3 Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instrument. Financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and related transaction costs that are recognized in profit or loss. The financial assets currently category relevant to the Company is loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method for maturities extending beyond one year, less impairment losses. Any change in their value is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows. The Company’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented as Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables (except deposit on purchases) and Other Non-current Assets, with respect to security deposits included therein, in the statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. All income and expenses, except impairment loss on trade and other receivables which is considered administrative expense, relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented as part of Finance Costs (Income) in the statement of comprehensive income.
F-408
- 7 -
Non-compounding interest, and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured.
Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. 2.4 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials, direct labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating capacity. The cost of raw materials include all costs directly attributable to acquisitions, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes that are not subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value of raw materials is the current replacement cost.
2.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment loss. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows and any impairment loss:
Plant, machinery and equipment 2 to 10 years Laboratory tools and equipment 1 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or useful lives of the assets of 1 to 10 years, whichever is shorter. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. No further charge for depreciation is made in respect of those accounts. Construction-in-progress represents properties undergoing construction. It is stated at cost which includes cost of construction, applicable borrowing cost (see Note 2.15) and other direct costs. This account is not depreciated until such time that the assets are completed and available for use. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.13). The residual values and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
F-409
- 8 -
An item of property, plant and equipment, including related accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment losses, if any, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year the item is derecognized. 2.6 Prepayments and Other Assets Prepayment and other assets pertain to the other resources controlled by the Company as a result of past events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), are classified as non-current assets.
2.7 Trademarks The cost of trademarks is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other considerations given up to acquire the trademark. The Company’s trademark is not amortized but tested for impairment annually [see Notes 2.13 and 3.1(a)]. 2.8 Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Company include trade and other payables (excepts tax-related liabilities) and due to related parties which are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. These are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using effective interest method for maturities of more than one year less settlement payments. All interest-related charges are recognized as an expense in profit or loss under the caption Finance Costs (Income) in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled within one year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of liability for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period. Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities. Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. 2.9 Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
F-410
- 9 -
2.10 Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. The provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly, possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized in the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision. 2.11 Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue comprise of revenue from the sale of goods are measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Company for goods sold excluding vlue-added tax (VAT).
Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. In addition, the following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
(a) Sale of goods – Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods have passed to the buyer, i.e. generally when the customer has acknowledged delivery of goods.
(b) Interest income – Recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset.
Costs and expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon receipt of goods and/or utilization of services or at the date they are incurred. All finance costs are reported in profit or loss on an accrual basis.
F-411
- 10 -
2.12 Leases – Company as Lessee Leases, which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred. The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 2.13 Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company’s trademarks, having an indefinite useful life, are tested for impairment annually. Property, plant and equipment and other nonfinancial are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating unit). As a result, assets are tested for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, based on an internal evaluation of discounted cash flow. Impairment loss is charged pro-rata to other assets in the cash-generating unit.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to the recoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss.
2.14 Employee Benefits
The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through a defined benefit plan. (a) Post-employment Benefits
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s post-employment defined benefit pension plan covers all regular full-time employees. The pension plan is tax-qualified, noncontributory and administered by a trustee bank.
F-412
- 11 -
The assets recognized in the statement of financial position for post-employment defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The DBO is calculated regularly by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related post-employment liability.
Actuarial gains and losses are not recognized as an income or expense unless the total unrecognized gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the obligation and related plan assets. The amount exceeding this 10% corridor is charged or credited to profit or loss over the employees’ expected average remaining working lives. Actuarial gains and losses within the 10% corridor are disclosed separately. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the post-employment plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
(b) Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: (a) terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or (b) providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(c) Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days (including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. They are included in the Trade and Other Payables account in the statement of financial position at the undiscounted amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.
2.15 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e., an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete.
F-413
- 12 -
2.16 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation The accounting records of the Company are maintained in Philippine pesos. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of profit or loss from operations.
2.17 Income Taxes Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.
Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated using the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss. Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled provided such tax rates have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in profit or loss. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The Company establishes liabilities for probable and estimable assessments by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) resulting from any known tax exposures. Estimates represent a reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjusted over time as more information becomes available.

2.18 Related Party Relationships and Transactions
Related party transactions are transfer of resources, services or obligations between the Company and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the Company; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company and close members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) the Company’s retirement plan. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.
2.19 Equity
Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Deposits for future stock subscriptions represent deposits from the parent company as payment for future subscriptions. Retained earnings represent all current and prior period results of operations as reported in the profit or loss section of the statements of comprehensive income.
2.20 Events After the End of the Reporting Period
Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’s financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates 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. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.
F-415
- 14 -
3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
(a) Determining the Useful Lives of Trademark
Under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, the legal life of trademark is 10 years and may be renewed every other 10 years. However, considering that the management does not expect any circumstances or events which will cause it to decide not to renew its trademarks every 10 years, management has taken the position that the useful lives of its trademarks is indefinite; hence its costs is not amortized but subjected to annual impairment testing (see Note 2.7 and 2.13). Changes in assumption and circumstances in the future will substantially affect the financial statements of the Company, particularly the carrying value of assets. No impairment loss on trademark was recognized in both years based on management evaluation.
(b) Distinction between Operating and Finance Leases
The Company has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. Judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. Failure to make the right judgment will result in either overstatement or understatement of assets and liabilities. Based on management’s judgment such leases were determined to be operating leases.
(c) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies
Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and contingencies. Accounting policies on provisions and contingencies are discussed in Notes 2.10 and relevant disclosures are presented in Note 18.
3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The following are the key 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:
(a) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
Adequate amount of allowance is made for specific and groups of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The Company evaluates these accounts based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the length of the Company’s relationship with the customers, the customers’ current credit status based on known market forces, average age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience. The carrying value of trade and other receivables and the analysis of allowance for impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.
F-416
- 15 -
(b) Determining Net Realizable Value of Inventories
In determining the net selling prices of inventories, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the times the estimates are made. It also takes into consideration the obsolescence of the inventory in determining net realizable value. The future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as disclosed in Note 7 is affected by price changes in different market segments. These aspects are considered key sources of estimation uncertainty and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s inventories within the next financial year. No impairment loss on inventory was recognized in both years based on management’s assessment..
(c) Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, except land, based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are analyzed in Note 9. Based on management’s assessment as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 there is no change in estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment during those years. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above.
(d) Determining Recoverable Value of Deferred Tax Assets The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. The Company did not recognize any deferred tax assets as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 as the management believes that it cannot realize the tax benefits from its deductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future. The details of deferred tax assets that were not recognized by the Company are disclosed in Note 15.
(e) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Except for trademarks with indefinite useful lives which are reviewed for impairment annually or regularly, PFRS requires that an impairment review be performed when certain impairment indicators are present. The Company’s policy on estimating the impairment of non-financial assets is discussed in detail in Note 2.13. Though management believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. No impairment loss on non-financial assets was recognized both in 2012 and 2011.
F-417
- 16 -
(f) Valuation of Post-employment Defined Benefit
The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment defined benefit are dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 14.2 and include, among others, discount rates, expected return on plan assets, salary increase rate and employee turnover. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. The amount of retirement benefit asset and expense and an analysis of the movements in the estimated present value of retirement benefit asset are presented in Note 14.2.
4. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Company is exposed to certain financial risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 19. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its Board of Directors, and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below. 4.1 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by granting loans and receivables to customers and placing deposits. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. In addition, for a significant portion of sales, advance payments are received to mitigate credit risk. Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the statements of financial position (or in detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below.
Notes 2012 2011
Cash and cash equivalents 5 P 36,933,115 P 25,373,381 Trade and other receivables – net 6 254,367,946 211,381,610 Security deposits 10 1,780,295 1,780,295
P 293,081,356 P 238,535,286
F-418
- 17 -
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Included in the cash and cash equivalents are cash in banks and short-term placements. As part of Company policy, bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions. Cash in banks which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) up to a maximum coverage of P500,000 per depositor per banking institution, as provided for under Republic Act (RA) No. 9576, Charter of PDIC, are still subject to credit risk. (b) Trade and Other Receivables In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. Some of the unimpaired trade receivables are past due as at the end of the reporting period. Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired are as follows:
2012 2011
Not more than three months P 48,647,741 P 33,623,543 More than three months but not more
than six months 24,223,084 6,990,171 P 72,870,825 P 40,613,714
4.2 Liquidity Risk The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 6-month and one-year period are identified monthly. The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets. In 2012 and 2011, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities within six months.

Cash in banks generally earn interest at rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term placements are made for varying periods of between 30 to 90 days and earn effective interest ranging from 1.63% to 2.25% for both years. There was no short-term placement as at December 31, 2011. Interest income earned amounting to P165,794 and P139,218 in 2012 and 2011, respectively and presented as part of Finance Costs - net in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 13).

Trade receivables are usually due within 30 to 90 days and do not bear any interest. The Company’s trade and other receivables, which are subject to credit risk exposure (see Note 4.1), have been reviewed for indicators of impairment. Certain trade receivables were identified to be impaired; hence, adequate amount of allowance for impairment has been recorded.
A reconciliation of the allowance for impairment at the beginning and end of 2012 and 2011 is shown below.

In July 2008, the Company purchased from General Milling Corporation (GMC) certain trademarks owned and registered with the Intellectual Property Office under the name of GMC. As discussed in Note 3.1(a), the Company’s trademarks are subject to annual impairment testing. No impairment losses were recognized in 2012 and 2011 as the recoverable amounts of the trademarks were determined to be higher than their carrying values. Security deposits pertain to deposits required under the terms of the lease agreements of the Company with certain lessors (see Note 18.1). The carrying amount of these deposits is a reasonable approximation of its fair value based on management assessment as at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
