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

(xi)

Government Regulation

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

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

By adopting the open innovation concept, the Company collaborates with its suppliers to come up with new and better product formulations in a cost effective manner.

The Company strives to have at least two (2) years worth of new products in the pipeline, at any given time.

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

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

(xv) Major risk/s involved in the business of the Company

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

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

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

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The FRNs bear interest starting August 31, 2007 and such interest is payable on each interest payment date which falls three months after the preceding interest payment date, in the case of the first interest payment date, after August 31, 2007. The rate of interest for such interest period shall be based on the Interest Rate 1 Setting Date by reference to the three- (3) month Philippine Dealing System Treasury Rate 1 at approximately 11:16 A.M., Manila time, on such date, plus an interest spread of 165 basis points (1.65%) per year. All payments by the Company under the Notes Facility, whether of principal, interest, fees, early redemption or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim for indemnifiable taxes, and are free and clear and without any deduction or withholding on account of any indemnifiable taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. The Notes Facility provides, among other terms and conditions, that, for as long as the FRNs remain outstanding, the Company is subject to certain negative covenants requiring prior written approval from

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

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

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Splash Corporation (a subsidiary of Splash Holdings, Inc.), which comprise the balance sheets as at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the statements of income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

-2-

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

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

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

-3-

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

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

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

-4-

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

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

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

-5-

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

-6-

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

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

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

-8-

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

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

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

*SGVMC3080 64*

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

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

Where the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Companys continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income. Offsetting of Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the balance sheet.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Costs incurred in bringing each inventories to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: Finished goods and work in process - Cost is determined based on the moving average method. Cost includes direct materials, labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead costs based on normal operating capacity. - Cost is determined using the moving average method. - Carried at the lower of cost and NRV.

Raw materials

Land for development

NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, except land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. Land is stated at cost less any impairment losses. The initial cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to income in the period the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property, plant and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as additional costs of the property, plant and equipment.

Assets under installation are carried at cost and transferred to the related property, plant and equipment account when the installation and related activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are complete, and the assets are ready for use. Depreciation commences once the property, plant and equipment are available for use and computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Years 10-15 5 5 2-5 2-5

Buildings and improvements Machinery and equipment Transportation equipment Office furniture and fixtures Other equipment

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further depreciation and amortization are credited or charged to current operations.

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 11 -

The assets residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the residual values, periods and method of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment loss are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited to or charged against current operations. Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that the nonfinancial assets, like property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognized in the statement of income.

An assessment is further made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of income.

After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Debt Issuance Cost Transaction costs paid in relation to the issuance of the floating rate promissory notes issued to a syndicate of lenders, shown as a contra-liability account to the floating rate notes payable, are deferred and being amortized over the term of the notes starting August 1, 2007 until August 31, 2012 using the effective interest rate method. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 12 under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense in the statement of income. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Sales are recognized upon delivery of goods to customers. Land for development - revenue on sale of land for development is recognized only to the extent cash is received or when the exchange consideration can be measured reliably. Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest rate method. Retirement Benefits Cost Retirement benefits cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. The projected unit credit method considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each separately to build up the final obligation. Past service costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits are already vested immediately, upon introduction of a new plan or improvement of an existing plan, past service costs are immediately expensed. Actuarial gains and losses both within and outside the 10% corridor are recognized as income or expense immediately. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of pension benefits are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

The amount recognized as accrued retirement liability is the net of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date minus the fair value at the balance sheet date of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. The Company applies the ceiling test in measuring the retirement asset, which is the lower of (a) the excess of the fair value of plan assets over the present value of the defined benefit obligation and (b) the total of any cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Company as a lessor Leases where the Company retains all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same bases as rental income.

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 13 -

Company as lessee Operating lease payments are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease contracts. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred and are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.

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

Income Tax Current Income Tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred Income Tax Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and unused tax losses or net operating loss carry over (NOLCO) to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of income. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 14 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Earnings Per Share (EPS) Basic EPS is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding, after giving retroactive adjustments for any stock split and stock dividends or reverse stock splits during the year. The Company does not have dilutive potential common shares. Segment Reporting The Companys major operating business units are the basis upon which the Company reports its primary segment information. The Companys business segments consist of: (1) naturals, (2) skin care and (3) hair care. The Company does not have yet intersegment revenues and expenses. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. These are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Events After the Balance Sheet Date Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Companys position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to financial statements when material.

3. Managements Significant Accounting Judgments and Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of any change in estimates will be reflected in the financial statements when they become reasonably determinable. Judgments In the process of applying the Companys accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements as follows: Determination of the Companys functional currency Based on the economic substance of the underlying circumstances relevant to the Company, the functional currency of the Company has been determined to be the Philippine peso. It is the currency that mainly influences the selling price of goods and cost of producing and selling the goods.

*SGVMC3080 64*

Assessment whether the lease agreement is a finance or operating lease The management assesses at the inception of the lease whether the arrangement is a finance or operating lease based on who bears substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item. The Company has entered into a property lease where it has determined that the risks and rewards related to the property are retained with the lessor. As such, the agreement is accounted for as an operating lease. Impairment of AFS investments The Company treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. The Company treats significant generally as 20% or more of the original cost of investment, and prolonged, greater than 6 months. In addition, the Company evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying value of the Companys AFS investments amounted to P219.77 million and P13.40 million, respectively (see== Note 10).

Estimation Uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: Estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts Provisions are made for accounts specifically identified to be doubtful of collection. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the length of the Companys relationship with its debtors, the debtors payment behavior and known market factors. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Company made different judgments or utilized different methodologies. An increase in allowance for doubtful accounts would increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease current assets. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to P29.09 million and P11.60 million as of December 31, 2007== and 2006, respectively. The amount of receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to P1,024.45 million and P543.92 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,== respectively (see Note 5).

Estimation of allowance for inventory obsolescence and market decline The Company, in determining the NRV of inventories, considers any adjustments necessary for obsolescence which is generally provided 100% allowance on nonmoving items or expired or near expiring (inventories which will expire within six months) inventories. The Company adjusts the cost of the inventory to its recoverable value at a level considered adequate to reflect market decline in the value of the recorded inventories.

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 16 -

The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments were made or different estimates were utilized. An increase in allowance for inventory obsolescence and market decline would increase recorded operating expenses and decrease current assets. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, allowance for inventory obsolescence amounted to =P36.00 million and P35.00 million, respectively (see Note 6).= Estimation of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment The useful life and residual value of each of the item of property, plant and equipment are estimated based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use. Such estimation is based on a collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed periodically and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the asset. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease the noncurrent assets.

There is no change in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment amounted to =P294.57 million and P572.29 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively (see= Note 9). Asset Impairment The Company assesses impairment of assets (property, plant and equipment) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that would trigger an impairment review include the following: Significant underperformance relative to the future sales performance and projected operating results. Significant negative industry or market trends. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets net selling price and value-in-use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arms length transaction while value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets if it is not possible, for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. For impairment loss on a specific asset, the recoverable amount represents the net selling price.

Based on the evaluation made by management, as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no indication of impairment was noted.

*SGVMC3080 64*

Recognition of deferred income tax assets The Company reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income taxes at each balance sheet date and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. However, there is no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of its recognized deferred income tax assets to be utilized. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized deferred income tax assets amounting to P37.05 million and P38.22 million, respectively (see Note 22).== Retirement benefits cost and obligation The present value of the pension obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost for pensions include the discount rate, mortality rate and compensation increase. The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the discount rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates on government bonds that are denominated in Philippine peso, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. The details of retirement benefits cost are disclosed in Note 20. Retirement benefits liability recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to =P37.93 million and P47.00 million, respectively. Retirement benefits cost amounted to= =P16.80 million, P34.84 million and P8.93 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see== Note 20).

Provisions and contingencies The estimate of probable costs of resolution of possible claims has been developed in consultation with external counsels handling the Companys defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Company is a party to certain lawsuits or claims arising from the ordinary course of business. However, the Companys management and legal counsel believe that the eventual liabilities under these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. Accordingly, no provision for probable losses has been recognized in the Companys financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 (see Notes 22 and 28).

Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using internal valuation techniques using generally accepted market valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimates are used in establishing fair values. The carrying values and fair values of financial instruments, as well as the methods on how the fair values were derived are discussed in Note 26.

c. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on various dates from February 2, 2004 to December 27, 2007 granted the Company income tax exemption under Republic Act (RA) No. 7459, otherwise known as the Inventors and Inventions Incentives Act of the Philippines, for the following patented designs or products: Utility Model No./ Patent Registration No. UM -8471 2 -1997 -15095 2 -1999 -00320 2 -2001 -000110 2 -2001 -000291 Date of First Sale 2001 1997 1999 2006 2006 2005

The income tax exemption is granted to promote, encourage, develop and accelerate commercialization of technologies developed by local researchers or adopted locally from foreign sources including invention. Any income derived from these technologies shall be exempted from income taxes during the first ten (10) years from the date of the first sale on a commercial scale. Gross profit and net operating income covered by the income tax exemption amounted to: 2007 - P421.0 million and P191.6 million; 2006 - P489.1 million and=== =P124.0 million; and 2005 - P489.2 million and P189.1 million.== d. On April 7, 2005, the Company applied with the BIR for administrative claim for refund for excess income taxes paid for the taxable year 2002 amounting to P 47,469,548 arising from its= retroactive application of the income tax exemption incentives under RA No. 7459. On May 29, 2007, the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) Second Division decided in favor of the Company and ordered the BIR to refund the said claim. The BIR filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the CTA and on October 30, 2007, the said Motion for Reconsideration filed by the BIR was denied. On December 7, 2007, the BIR filed a Petition for Review with the CTA En Banc and on May 6, 2008, the En Banc unanimously decided in favor of the Company.

Management and its legal counsel believe that the decision of the CTA and CTA En Banc have persuasive effect and usually serve as a judicial guide. They believe that the fact of the CTA are entitled to the highest respect and the Supreme Court generally respects and refrains from setting aside conclusions reached by the CTA, which by the very nature of its function, is exclusively dedicated to the consideration, resolution of tax problems and has developed an expertise on the subject, unless there is a clear showing of abuse or improvident exercise of authority on its part. Based on the above facts, the Company recognized the receivable from the BIR amounting to =P47,469,548 and recognized Recovery of prior income taxes paid for the same amount in 2007. e. On May 24, 2005, the new Expanded Value-Added Tax (E-VAT) law was signed as RA No. 9337 or the E-VAT Act of 2005. The E-VAT law took effect on November 1, 2005 following the approval on October 19, 2005 of Revenue Regulations (RR) 16-2005 which provides for the implementation of the rules and regulations of the new E-VAT law. Among the relevant provisions of the new E-VAT law are: i. Change in corporate income tax rate from 32% to 35% for the next three years effective on November 1, 2005, and 30% starting on January 1, 2009 and thereafter; ii. A 70% cap on the input VAT that can be claimed against output VAT;

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 36 -

iii. Increase in the VAT rate imposed on goods and services from 10% to 12% effective January 1, 2006 provided that the VAT collection as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the previous year exceeds 2.8% or the Philippine national government deficit as a percentage of GDP of the previous year exceeds 1.5%; and iv. The amount of interest paid or incurred within a taxable year on indebtedness in connection with the taxpayers profession, trade or business shall be allowed as a deduction from gross income, provided that, the taxpayers otherwise allowable deduction for interest expense shall be reduced by 42% of the interest income subject to final tax, provided that, effective January 1, 2009, the rate shall be 33%.

On January 31, 2006, the President, upon recommendation of the Secretary of Finance, approved the 2% increase in VAT rate effective on February 1, 2006. On November 21, 2006, the President signed into law RA No. 9361 which amends Section 110 (B) of the Tax Code. This law, which became effective on December 13, 2006, provides that if the input tax, inclusive of the input tax carried over from the previous quarter exceeds the output tax, the excess input tax shall be carried over to the succeeding quarter or quarters. The Department of Finance, through the BIR, issued RR No. 2-2007 to implement the provisions of the said law. Based on the regulation, the amendment shall apply to the quarterly VAT returns to be filed after the effectivity of RA No. 9361 except VAT returns covering taxable quarters ending earlier than December 2006.

27. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The main purpose of the Companys financial instruments is to fund its operations and capital expenditures. It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Companys policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Companys financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The BOD reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows from a financial instrument (cash interest rate risk) or its fair value (fair value interest rate risk) will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companys floating rate notes payable is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk (see Note 13). The repricing of the floating rate notes payable are done on intervals of three (3) months. The Company regularly monitors interest rate movements and, on the basis of current and projected economic and monetary data, decides on the best alternative to take. The Company has a one time option under its Notes Facility to convert the interest rate from floating to fixed rate. The Company monitors the interest rate volatility to determine whether the option to change the interest rate to fixed rate has to be exercised, to protect it from spiraling interest costs should interest rates go up. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of income before income tax as of December 31, 2007 to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant. Effect on income before income tax Increase (decrease) (P1.00 million)= 1.00 million

2007

Increase/decrease in market basis points +10bps -10bps

There is no other impact on the Companys equity other than those already affecting profit on loss. Foreign currency risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from its exposure to the US dollar rate fluctuation on its trade receivables on export sales and cash and cash equivalents denominated in US dollars.

*SGVMC3080 64*

- 42 It is not considered practical or cost effective at present to use financial instruments or derivatives to the Companys exposure to exchange rate fluctuation. Instead, foreign exchange rates are reviewed and monitored periodically by the Companys BOD. The Company maintains U.S. dollar accounts to manage its foreign currency denominated transactions. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2007 of the Companys foreign currencydenominated financial assets and liabilities are as follows: In U.S. dollar Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Receivables - net Financial liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $1,144,169 1,613,105 2,757,274 (122,952) $2,634,322 In Php =P47,231,296 66,588,974 113,820,270 (5,075,458) =P108,744,812

Appreciation (depreciation) of Php rate against U.S. dollar +6.73% -6.73%

2007

Effect on profit before tax (P7.32 million)= 7.32 million

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

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheets.

High Grade receivables pertain to those receivables from clients or customers that consistently pay their accounts on or before the due date. Standard grade receivables includes receivables that are collected on their due dates even without an effort from the Company to follow them up while receivables which are collected on their due dates provided that the Company made a persistent effort to collect them are included under Sub-standard Grade receivables. Past due receivables and advances include those that are past due but are still collectible. An analysis of past due receivables, by age, is provided on the next table. The majority of these past due receivables are not considered to be impaired.

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

Capital Management The primary objective of the Companys capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business, continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure that would reduce the cost of capital. The Company regularly monitors its use of capital using leverage ratios, such as debt-to-equity ratio, and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and its own financial position. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The following table summarizes the total capital considered by the Company as of December 31: 2006 2007 =P P985,416,803= 107,312,250 746,160,357 1,676,712,406 257,378,165 363,124,515 284,637,501 367,173,612 P3,692,927,067==P1,094,988,542

Floating rate notes payable Capital stock Additional paid-in capital Retained earnings Long-term debt

As described in Note 13-Floating Rate Notes, the Company is subject to certain negative covenants that could affect the Companys capital structure. These include provisions such as contracting additional loans; declaration or payment of dividends in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Companys previous years net income; purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value its capital stock; maintaining a current ratio of at least 2.0 and debt-to-equity ratio of not more than 1.5 until final payment. The Companys debt-to-equity ratio as of December 31, 2007 is 0.66.

28. Contingencies The Company is a party to some cases and assessments which are pending in courts or are under protest. Management and the Companys legal counsels strongly believe that the liabilities, if any that may result from the final outcome of these cases and assessments will not materially affect the Companys financial position and results of operations.

29. Notes to Statements of Cash Flows In September 2007, the Company received shares of stock amounting to P200.00 million= from SHI as payment of its advances from the Company (see Note 10).
