Business Development 2GO Group, Inc. (the “Registrant”, the “Company”, or “2GO”), formerly ATS Consolidated (ATSC), Inc., was formed and organized in May 26, 1949 under the corporate name William Lines, Inc. Driven by the vision of providing the nation with the best shipping services, on December 21, 1995, William Lines, Inc., Carlos A. Gothong Lines, Inc. and Aboitiz Shipping Corporation consolidated their resources and expertise and marked the birth of William, Gothong & Aboitiz, Inc. (“WG&A”). Thereafter, on February 4, 2004, WG&A changed its corporate name to Aboitiz Transport System (ATSC) Corporation as a result of the buyout that Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV) made of the respective interests of Chiongbian and Gothong in WG&A in 2002. On August 24, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the change of corporate name of Aboitiz Transport System (ATSC) Corporation to ATS Consolidated (ATSC), Inc. On March 9, 2012, the SEC approved a subsequent change of the corporate name of ATS Consolidated (ATSC), Inc. to 2GO Group, Inc. During the past three (3) years, 2GO and its subsidiaries have engaged into mergers and significant purchases of shares of stocks. In August 2009, 2GO Express, Inc. (formerly ATS Express, Inc, formerly Aboitiz One, Inc.) formed a joint venture with Kerry Logistics Network Limited of Hong Kong (KLN) for its international freight forwarding business. In July 2010, the SEC approved the statutory merger of the Registrant with Zoom in Packages, Inc. (ZIP), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Further, in August 2010, the SEC also approved the statutory merger of the Company with another wholly owned subsidiary – Reefer Van Specialists, Inc (RVSI). The mergers are expected to further improve the effectiveness and efficiency of freight services of 2GO as well as reduce costs as people, processes, systems are integrated. On December 01, 2010, the former major stockholders of 2GO, namely AEV and Aboitiz and Company, Inc. (ACO), sold their shareholdings in 2GO to Negros Navigation Co., Inc. (NENACO), which sale was consummated on December 28, 2010. The equity value included all the logistics and shipping businesses of the Company, except its interest in its joint ventures with the Jebsen Group of Norway. AEV’s and ACO’s shareholdings in 2GO represented 77.24% and 15.96%, respectively, of the total outstanding common shares of 2GO. In February 2011, as a result of the mandatory tender offer requirement, NENACO's ownership in 2GO increased by 4.92%. The majority owner of the registrant, NENACO, is one of the oldest domestic shipping companies in the Philippines. It was organized and registered with the SEC on July 26, 1932 for the purpose of transporting passengers and cargoes at various ports of call in the Philippines. Further, its principal office is located at Pier 2, North Harbor, Tondo, Manila. Corporate Structure 4 On various dates in 2011, the SEC approved the application of the Company and its subsidiaries to amend their Articles of Incorporation and By-laws, which include, among others, the change in their corporate names to ATS Consolidated (ATSC), Inc. [formerly Aboitiz Transport System (ATSC) Corporation], ATS Express, Inc. (formerly Aboitiz One, Inc.), and ATS Distribution, Inc. (formerly Aboitiz One Distribution, Inc.). Further, to create a unified identity for the Company and its brand structure, in February and March 2012, the Registrant and its subsidiaries amended its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws to further change its corporate name to 2GO Group, Inc. [formerly ATS Consolidated (ATSC), Inc.], 2GO Express, Inc. (formerly ATS Express, Inc.), and 2GO Logistics, Inc. (formerly ATS Distribution, Inc.). NN-ATS Logistics Management & Holdings Co., Inc. (NALMHCI) was organized and incorporated last November 22, 2011. It is 100%-owned by 2GO. The purpose of NALMHCI is primarily to act as managing agents, local agents or representatives of (i) subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in logistics activities, (ii) corporations, (iii) partnerships, (iv) agencies, (v) associations, (vi) enterprises, (vii) establishments, (viii) institutions, private or governmental, domestic or foreign, except the management of funds, portfolios, or other similar assets of the managed entities; and to undertake, organize, form, promote, develop or establish businesses, and all forms of enterprises, whether here or abroad, as are necessary, suitable, or convenient to be undertaken, organized, formed, promoted, developed or established to carry out, directly or indirectly, the purposes and interests or to enhance the businesses or to render more valuable or profitable any of its rights, properties, interests or enterprises. Further, on March 8, 2012, the SEC approved the registration of Special Container and Value Added Services, Inc., a 100%-owned company by the registrant as well. It has a primary purpose of engaging in domestic and/or international business of transporting any and all kinds of goods and cargoes, by sea, air and land, functioning as non-vessel operating common carrier, engaging in cargo forwarding including acting as cargo consolidator and break-bulk agent, and courier for mails, letters, pouches, other cargoes and personal effects of any and all kinds, types and nature. Brand Structure The Company is engaged in the movement of people operating under brand names ‘SuperFerry’, ‘SuperCat’, and ‘Cebu Ferries’ and in the movement of cargos operating under the brand name ‘2GO’. However, with the change in the Company’s corporate name to “2GO Group, Inc.”, the Company and its subsidiaries started the standardization of its brands on the latter part of 2011 and implemented the following brand structure: 5 The Company adopted the stronger brand “2GO” as its flagship brand for its various businesses. Going forward, the Company will function with three core business units, as follows: 2GO Freight —this unit will continue to handle commercial and personal shipping needs including household goods, auto rolling cargo shipping, containerized shipping, break bulk & LCL consolidation, freight refrigerated vans, and ISO tank shipments. 2GO Travel — integrating the country’s leading passenger ships and fast ferries, Negros Navigation, SuperFerry, SuperCat, and Cebu Ferries, this unit offers the biggest fleet and the widest choice of route linking Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, through land and sea multimodal transport linkages. 2GO Supply Chain —this unit leverages on the Company’s more than 100 years of expertise in Logistics, Distribution, Warehousing, and Inventory Management. All these changes reflect an important redirection for 2GO i.e. towards becoming a world-class transport, logistics, and supply chain company. With the change in company name and brand structure, the Company is also now in the process of changing the names of the vessels with the Maritime Industry and Authority. Vessel Fleet As of December 31, 2011, 2GO and its subsidiaries has a total fleet of 29 operating vessels, of which 19 are company-owned ships. The fleet consists of 8 fast crafts, 12 RoRo/Pax vessels (of which 3 vessels are time chartered from its parent company, NENACO), and 9 freighters (of which 3 are also time chartered from NENACO and 4 from MCCP). The Company’s vessel fleet has a combined Gross Registered Tonnage of approximately 204,140 metric tons, total passenger capacity of approximately 20,360 passengers and aggregate cargo capacity of approximately 6,059 twentyfoot equivalent units (TEUs). Currently, 2GO operates 9 RoRo/Pax vessels calling on Manila as their homeport. These vessels are larger coastwise vessels that sail from Luzon to Visayas and Mindanao. Further, 2GO operates 3 medium-sized vessels, the Cebu Ferries, operating in the Visayas and Mindanao routes and with Cebu as their homeport. The 8 fast craft passenger vessels, on the other hand, are smaller fast crafts that ply on short distances. The Company also operates 5 purely-cargo vessels to fully complement its freight business. Ports of call The Company’s extensive presence throughout the country is carried out through its branch operations and agency networks. These are located primarily in Bacolod, Batangas, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Calapan, Cebu, Coron, Cotabato, Davao, Dipolog, Dumaguete, General Santos, Iligan, Iloilo, Jagna, Manila, Ormoc, Ozamis, Puerto Princesa, Surigao, Tagbilaran, and Zamboanga. Market Share As of December 31, 2011, 2GO continues to dominate the Philippine Sea Travel with 93% market share in the passage service, specifically in ports that they serve. Freight market share is estimated at 33%. Subsidiaries and Affiliate of 2GO In 2011, 2GO has three (3) operating subsidiaries and one (1) affiliate, 2GO Express, Inc., The Supercat Fast Ferry Corp. (SFFC), NALMHCI and MCC Transport Philippines, Inc. (MCCP). On March 2012, the Registrant incorporated a new company named Special Container and Value Added Services, Inc. The new company will take over the reefer van container business of the Company and the isotank business of one of its subsidiaries, 2GO Express, Inc. 6 Product Lines and Markets Briefly, the Company’s product lines and solutions are described as follows: 1. PASSAGE In 2011, 2GO improved its course not only as a low-cost operator with unbundled price structure through its former SuperFerry, Cebu Ferries and SuperCat brands, but also as a leisure travel option as it is now jointly operated with Negros Navigation (the parent company’s passage brand). It is also the year where the integration of all passage brands, namely: Negros Navigation, SuperFerry, CebuFerries and SuperCat, was completed. During the year, all policies, procedures and systems were aligned and streamlined. Routes were rationalized and thus, eliminate duplications among the Company’s vessels. There were also rationalization made on the workforce among the Company, NENACO and its subsidiaries. In December 2011, the Company operated additional 3 RoRo/Pax vessels under time charter from NENACO. Thus, towards the end of the year, all passage brands of the Company were fully integrated and now took on a new passage brand, 2GO Travel starting 2012. The new brand aims to provide exciting tour packages and activities as well as more affordable, comfortable, safe and reliable travel experience. To drive passenger volume and sales, the Company offered various signature price promotions such as the “Crazy Tawad Fares”, the “year-round low price regular fare offering” and “Todo Todo Sale Sail”, a special promo with defined selling and sailing dates. Special price promotions are also offered coinciding with festivities in the ports the company serve. The promotions offered were being complemented also through providing customers with the convenience and speed in their dealings with us. Ticketing systems were enhanced to be able to accept credit and ATM (automated teller machine) cards through the Internet as modes of payment. Ticket delivery service, through our in-house call center, was offered as another ticket access option for customers. Ticket delivery is offered in partnership with its subsidiary, 2GO Express. During the last quarter of 2011, more than eighty percent (80%) of ticketing outlets were converted into the web-based ticketing system that allows for ticketless transactions. The said innovation will entail significant savings in terms of printing as well as the administrative costs of these tickets to the outlets. To further encourage customers to buy their tickets early (and on the company’s end, to push early build-up of volumes), larger discounts on their fares are offered to customers who buy their tickets in advance. A ticket to the Visayas region can be bought for as low as P450, while a ticket to Mindanao can be bought for as low as P750. The ticketing system is linked to pricing software or a revenue management system that automatically adjusts prices based on demand. The pricing software is similar to those employed by hotels and airlines. The best practices of 2GO and its parent company, NENACO, on revenue management are being integrated into this pricing software. 2GO Travel sells tickets using four distribution channels: (1) over 1,200 online outlets nationwide composed of company-owned corporate outlets, and third party outlets and network agencies, (2) an in-house call center; (3) through the 2GO Travel website; and (4) on-line third party-operated marketing websites (i.e. ensogo.com) for extremely discounted package fares during the lean season. As of March 1, 2012, 2GO Travel calls on 18 ports, namely: Manila, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Batangas, Caticlan, Dumaguete, Puerto Princessa, General Santos, Iligan, Iloilo, Ormoc, Butuan, Ozamis, Dipolog, Surigao, and Zamboanga. Frequencies vary per destination. Customers have six (6) types of accommodations to choose from, namely: stateroom, cabin, tourist, mega value, super value and airline seat. With the introduction of the new Batangas-Caticlan route, 2GO Travel has set in motion to establish itself as the premiere “Domestic Cruise Line”. The vessels servicing the new route have undergone renovation on their interior designs, modernization of furniture, amenities and suites to entice large segment of the Boracay-bound tourist market. 2GO Travel is also now available as one of the transportation options to foreign travel websites as the company marked the beginning of its partnerships with international travel websites such as myboracayguide.com, myboholguide.com and mycebuguide.com, 2GO Travel has also opened the 2GO TraveLink service for customers who opt to purchase bus or boat transfers with their ferry tickets issued in one e-ticket. This provides a hassle-free, seamless transportation service that the Company is well known. 2GO TravelLink service is preliminarily offered to its Boracay package and will eventually be replicated to the rest of its ports of call. The 2GO TravelLink service also ables 2GO Travel to offer more travel frequencies to its customers – while it only have once a week call on Dumaguete, it can actually serve customers in 7 Dumaguete daily through the 2GO TravelLink service via Bacolod or Cebu wherein 2GO Travel offers five to six times weekly service. 2GO Travel has also numerous hotel partners that customers may avail of a hotel package together with their purchase of transportation tickets. Shuttle services continue to serve selected routes, depending on market demand. 2. FREIGHT With the coming together of 2GO and its parent company’s freight business, now called 2GO Freight, routes served by the Company’s vessels were rationalized. Port links previously served by both 2GO and NENACO on the same departure dates were eliminated. This allowed the Company and NENACO to retire 4 vessels (2 RoRo/Pax and 2 freighters) resulting in substantial savings in fuel and other vessel operating costs. While the number of vessels has been reduced, the scope of ports served has increased. Freight Revenue grew by P352.3 million or 7% year-on-year despite a reduction in the number of trips by 242 trips or a reduction of 13%. This is attributed to a 5% increase in rates and a 1% increase in volume or an increase of 1,503 TEU’s. While revenue was increased, costs were reduced substantially with the integration of container yards in almost all major ports. These include Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Palawan, Cagayan de Oro, Ozamis, Iligan, Zamboanga, Davao, and General Santos. Further, under the 2GO Express unit of the registrant, 2GO introduced new products and services that helped boost revenues in its domestic and international courier, such as the Budget Box and International Budget Box, US Visa delivery, and expanded offerings under its partnership with international logistics provider United Parcel Service (UPS). Third party logistics remained robust with an increase in warehouse capacity to nearly 39,000 pallets. In 2011, the rd warehouse capacity increased by 56,000 pallets with the completion of the 3 warehouse and said warehouse was being sub-leased. 2GO has been bundling more value-added services and offering more flexible solutions for our customers that would further strengthen our position as the country’s only integrated chain solutions provider. Competition 1. PASSAGE The operating environment in 2011 for the Company faced challenges for its passage business due to stiff competition from the airlines. SuperFerry 1 was decommissioned out of operational constraints and St. Joseph the Worker, one of NENACO’s vessels, continued to run as replacement. However, sea transport continues to be one of the primary means of inter-island transport in the Philippines especially for travellers who wish to bring many baggages. 2GO Travel’s ports of call are based in Central Visayas, Western Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and Southern Mindanao. 2GO Travel competes with airlines and other domestic inter-island ferries principally in terms of price. With the recent aggressive entry of another budget airline, AirPhil Express, and the acquisition of more airplanes by Zestair and Cebu Pacific, all budget airlines severely cut prices to regain market share thus, eating more into the shipping market. Cutthroat competition is an effect of ‘fare diving’ to compensate for rising costs especially fuel. There is no limit to competition in terms of pricing which can also be readily copied by any player. In terms of service, the sea players compete by providing reliable service to passengers in the form of safety and on-time departures and arrivals. Customers also look for convenience in ticket purchases, frequency of schedules, improved facilities on-board and entertainment. In 2011, among the principal competitors of 2GO Travel are Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, AirPhil Express, ZestAir and various Bus Lines. Geographic areas of competition include Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Dumaguete, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Dipolog, Ozamis, Cotabato, Davao, General Santos, Surigao, Zamboanga, Butuan, and Panay area (for the Bus Lines). 8 In order to attract passengers to travel by sea, 2GO Travel maintains a suitable gap between the price of 2GO Travel tickets and airline fares. On top of that, customers continue to have the benefit of a larger baggage allowance. While the entire fleet is going through a re-branding, most vessels have already improved its interior decoration and improved on-board amenities and entertainment. With this new marketing strategy, 2GO Travel now sells itself as a domestic cruise that sells a “fun and memorable experience” on-board the ship. As airlines fiercely compete with each other in a constant price-war, 2GO Travel maintains its price by offering leisure travel and entertainment on-board the vessels. 2GO Travel’s new direction of being an affordable domestic cruise has also been featured in travel shows such as the famous “TravelTime” show & magazine by Susan Calo Medina, a famous Filipino travel writer and TV host with viewership that encompasses all market classes and overseas Filipino workers through TFC (The Filipino Channel). Travel magazines have also featured benefits of cruising around the Philippines. The marketing team has been entertaining numerous media requests to feature the new brand. Billboards are also being used to communicate the new brand’s image. In addition, the brand has also been advertising in Cinemas across Metro Manila to try and get more of the leisure travelers to travel by sea. Despite the challenges, 2GO Travel remains undaunted and focused to seek better ways to deliver service consistently and be a sought-after leisure alternative to move around the islands. 2GO Travel is committed to consistently provide a reliable, convenient and affordable sea service with a passion to serve its entire customer. 2. FREIGHT Major competitors of 2GO in the domestic shipping industry specifically in major areas of Visayas and Mindanao regions include Phil Span Asia Container Corporation (formerly Sulpicio Lines), Lorenzo Shipping, National Marine Corporation, Solid Shipping, Oceanic Shipping Lines and CAGLI (Carlos A. Gothong Lines), among others. While the tendency of most competitors has been to offer lower rates, 2GO Freight has been able to maintain the loyalty and patronage of its customers even at higher rates owing to higher service levels experienced by clients. 2GO Freight continues to receive awards from quality conscious clients for higher KPI performance levels. Such high ratings often translate to higher market shares enjoyed by 2GO from the higher paying client base. Safety, Security and Quality Standards 2GO’s fleet, comprising of the SuperFerries, Cebu Ferries and 2GO freighters, was formerly managed by Aboitiz Jebsen Bulk Transport Corporation (ABOJEB), an international ship management company. On October 15, 2011, the Ship Management Division (SMD) of the registrant’s parent company, NENACO, took over the ship, crewing and purchasing management as well as the ship cost accounting and fuel management of the whole 2GO fleet from ABOJEB. NENACO, as a ship management company is certified as compliant with the International Safety Management Code (ISM) administered by the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) and the National Security Programme for Sea Transport and Maritime Infrastructure (NSPSTMI), an International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPS) certification administered by the Office for Transport Security. NENACO maintains the 2GO fleet to international standards of safety, security and seaworthiness. NENACO ensures each ship of 2GO is manned with qualified, certified, medically fit and suitably experienced seafarers and qualified and competent shore-based staff to support the quality, safe, secure and efficient operation of vessels. NENACO ensures that the entire 2GO fleet has to undergo a periodic ISM, NSPSTMI/ISPS external audits conducted by the authorities to ensure continuous improvement of safety, security and quality on board. The ISM and ISPS codes are International Maritime Organization (IMO) initiated mandatory requirement for all companies that operate ships. The ISM’s objectives are to prevent maritime accidents, provide competent crews, emergency preparedness, ensure a planned maintenance system and protection of the environment while the ISPS Code ensures that security threats are recognized and security breaches are prevented. 2GO and NENACO believe that appropriate training for the vessel officers, crew and shore-based personnel is vitally important. VIDEOTEL, the world’s leading producer and provider of high quality marine training programs, has been the partner of NENACO for the past 3 years for implementing structured and tailor-made training programs. 2GO and NENACO added competent shore-based personnel, sent most of the Technical Superintendents to GL (Germanisher Lloyd) Academy to undertake a rigid Superintendents Training Course and reorganized to meet the demands of managing a bigger fleet. 9 Moreover, 2GO and NENACO will start to implement on 2012 the BASSNET Fleet Management System, an integrated software suite-based on modern technology covering all the main areas of maritime operations. Customers The Company has a wide customer base that includes manufacturers of consumer goods and finished products, traders of commercial, industrial and agricultural goods as well as the general public. The Company monitors its top 50 customers. No single customer accounts for 20% or more of the Company’s freight revenue. Purchases of Materials, Parts and Supplies Materials, parts and supplies are obtained mostly from local suppliers at competitive rates. Fuel and lubes, the biggest operating expense of the Company is purchased from a major fuel provider.

Philippine Charter Insurance Corporation Contract for Distribution and Repair and General Services 2GO also contracts with more than 20 major trucking, forwarding and container repair companies in the Philippines, including affiliated companies, to provide door to door, door to pier, pier to door distribution services required by its customers, as well as stevedoring and arrastre services. These contracts are conducted on an arms-length basis. The Company’s passenger ticketing and cargo booking are principally conducted through its network of branches and sales agents, most of which are situated at ports served by the Company. In addition, independent agencies/outlets are also maintained in urbanized areas such as Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro. These Agencies and Outlets are covered by Agency Contracts renewable annually, subject to certain conditions. Contracts with affiliated companies for agency and general services are conducted on an arms-length basis. General service contracts include contracts with engineering, repair and service companies, independent concessionaires, and janitorial service providers. Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions and Royalty Agreement held 2GO’s vessels are duly registered with MARINA and subjected to regular survey and ISM audit to ascertain its adherence to vessel and manning safety standards. The company is the holder of several Certificates of Public Convenience (CPC), Provisional Authority (PA) and Special Permit (SP) issued by MARINA to service domestic ports of call. Related Party Transactions Related party transactions with both customers and suppliers are discussed in the Note 24 to Consolidated Financial Statements. 10 Employees 2GO has a complement of 1,005 employees as of December 31, 2011, of which, 824 are regular, 48 are probationary, and 133 are contractual. The Company is not unionized. It has a Labor Management Council (LMC) that is a member of the Philippine Association of Labor Management Council, wherein the labor and the management work hand in hand to accomplish certain goals using mutually acceptable means. With this council, labor and management representatives discuss and decide on issues of equal concern to both parties. They are social partners sharing a common interest in the success and growth of the enterprise and the economy. LMC aims to promote harmony among all the 2GO employees, the officers, staff and other employees of the Company and to establish an equally beneficial relationship. 2GO’s LMC holds a regular yearly convention to bring all chairmen and representatives to a forum with the principals and officers of the Company. The convention seeks to promulgate resolutions most of which are economic demands from the Labor sector and management; address all other concerns and issues; amend the charter; and to hold elections for the officers of the national LMC. The establishment of the LMC in September 23, 1986 has given rise to more benefits and privileges to the employees. More significantly the merging of three of the most prominent and well respected shipping lines in the country has seen a dramatic improvement in terms of employee benefits and privileges far better than any other company in the industry offers. This includes among others, medical allowances, group hospitalization plan, educational assistance for qualified dependents, mortuary assistance and privilege pass for employees and their immediate family members. Government Regulations The MARINA through Memorandum Circular No. 79 requires all owners/operators of inter-island vessels engaged in Public Transport Service to secure a certificate of accreditation of domestic shipping enterprise / entities from the Authority before they can provide a water transport service. The Circular is intended to foster standards for domestic shipping operations in order to protect public interest and to generate vital information that will enable MARINA to effectively supervise, regulate and rationalize the organizational movement, ownership and operation of all inter-island water transport utilities, and consequently, to prevent the proliferation of incompetent, inefficient, unreliable and fly-by-night operators. Accreditation serves as a prerequisite to the granting of franchises for individual vessel operations. 2GO vessels have been issued Certificates of Public Convenience/Provisional Authorities to operate in specified routes. Research and Development Activities Research and development (R&D) are the company’s activities to discover and create new lines of services and/or make major improvements on the existing ones. During the year, the Company allocated and spent reasonable amount on R&D activities. This is consistent with the Company's strategy to focus its efforts on developing and maintaining its existing value-added businesses where it believes much of its future will lie. Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws With regard to environmental laws, 2GO follows the regulations embodied in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the protocol of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78). The said Convention includes regulations aimed at preventing and minimizing pollution from ships - both accidental pollution and that from routine operations - and currently includes, among others, Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil, Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form, Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships to which the Company observes. During the year, the Company incurred less than a million to comply with these rules and regulations. The existing government regulations are intended to achieve the goal of the government to develop the country’s water transport system. The goal is to provide adequate, safe, efficient, economical and shipping services that are at par with the world’s best that will cater to the transport requirements of a growing national economy and for regional development. 11 Major Risks Involved in the Business of 2GO and its Subsidiaries Major risks involved in the business of 2GO and its subsidiaries are discussed under Part IV-Corporate Governance in pages 39-40.

Further, there were no dividends declared during the year 2009 as well as the year 2011. Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Fiscal Year 2011 vs. 2010 Consolidated Income Statements Consolidated revenues increased by P1.4 billion compared to the previous year to reach P13.0 billion from P11.6 billion. Both shipping and supply chain revenues went up during the year, contributing 14% and 9% increase in revenues respectively. The increase in revenues can be attributed to a large extent to business rationalization with the integration of its operations with its parent company, NENACO. In terms of revenue mix, the shipping business accounts for 60% while supply chain accounts for 40% of the total revenues. Freight revenue jumped 7% against last year from P5.3 billion to P5.7 billion in 2011 resulting from higher average price. Passage revenue, on the other hand, grew 9% from P2.2 billion in 2010 to P2.4 billion in 2011. The increase in passage revenue is attributed to the combined increase in passenger volume and average price which both increased by 5% during the year. Revenues from supply chain also went up during the year, contributing P411.6 million additional revenues against last year as it continues to grow the trading business due to a rise in the number of principals. 18 Total costs and expenses amounted to P13.3 billion, 9% or P1.1 billion higher than P12.2 billion in 2010. The increase is largely attributable to higher operating expenses, which jumped 15% against last year mainly due to higher fuel expense and outside services. Fuel, oil and lubricants soared 22% or P636.7 million during the year resulting from higher fuel prices. In 2011, the average fuel prices went up by more than 18%, or P4.32 per liter compared to 2010. However, the Company has implemented freight rate increases during the year to lessen the negative impact to its margins. The Company’s vessel fleet comprising of the SuperFerries, Cebu Ferries and 2GO freighters was managed by Aboitiz Jebsen Bulk Transport Corporation (ABOJEB) and the management cost was included in outside services under operating expenses. However, on October 15, 2011, the Ship Management Division (SMD) of the registrant’s parent company, NENACO, took over the ship, crewing and purchasing management as well as the ship cost accounting and fuel management of the whole vessel fleet from ABOJEB. The expanding trading business contributed to higher cost of goods sold which increased 18% or P394.9 million compared to 2010. On the other hand, the Group was able to cut down overhead expenses by a huge 30% or P442.4 million against last year mainly due to lower personnel costs and outside services. During the year, the Group streamlined its manpower and rationalized its costs with the integration of its business operations with NENACO. In 2011, the Company recognized impairment loss on assets held for sale amounting to P223.6 million for 2GO1 and 2GO2 vessels, as a result of the Company’s integration with NENACO and vessels’ route rationalization. Finance costs of P407.5 million were substantially higher versus last year from increased interest bearing loans. 2GO registered P634.3 million net loss attributable to holders of the Parent Company (P625.6 million excluding minority shareholders). Income before income tax is up 47% or P714.0 million against last year. This is the result of the various synergy initiatives undertaken by the Company which are now slowly coming into fruition as demonstrated by the overhead cost reduction of over 30% compared to last year. Earnings per Share Earnings per share is computed by dividing Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent over weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Earnings per share for 2011 stood at (P0.26)/share compared to (P0.33)/share in 2010. 19 In Millions Pesos CONTINUING OPERATIONS REVENUES Freight Passage Sale of goods Service fees Food and beverage Others COSTS AND EXPENSES Operating Terminal Cost of goods s old Overhead OTHER INCOME (CHARGES) Impairment loss on goodwill, property and equipment and assets held for sale Equity in net earnings (los ses) of as sociates Interest and financing charges Others - net INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INTEGRATION COSTS INTEGRATION COSTS INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAX FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PROVISION FOR (BENEFIT FROM) INCOME TAX NET INCOME (LOSS) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS NET INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS NET INCOME (LOSS) Years Ended December 31 2011 2010 2009 Variance '11 vs '10 % % to Revenues 2011 2010 5,678 2,384 3,029 1,251 260 369 12,971 5,326 2,179 2,566 1,064 160 316 11,611 5,256 2,238 1,735 813 469 10,510 352 205 463 188 100 53 1,360 7% 9% 18% 18% 63% 17% 12% 44% 18% 23% 10% 2% 3% 100% 46% 19% 22% 9% 1% 3% 100% 8,192 1,495 2,602 1,034 13,323 7,093 1,474 2,207 1,476 12,250 5,832 1,381 1,461 1,449 10,123 1,099 21 395 (442) 1,073 15% 1% 18% -30% 9% 63% 12% 20% 8% 103% 61% 13% 19% 13% 106% (224) (15) (407) 300 (346) (698) (123) (779) 40 (228) 71 (896) (1,535) - 57 (74) 309 292 679 - -2% 0% -3% 2% -3% -5% -1% -7% 0% -2% 1% -8% -13% 0% (821) (1,535) 679 714 47% -6% -13% (195) (421) 167 226 54% -2% -4% (626) (1,114) 512 488 44% -5% -10% (626) 359 (755) 111 623 0% -5% 3% -7% 555 71% (55) -136% (179) -78% 229 324% 550 61% 837 55% (123) N/A (359) -100% 129 17% Consolidated Balance Sheets Consolidated assets of 2GO stood at P12.1 billion as of December 31, 2011, posting a 4% or P443.3 million reduction from P12.6 billion as of December 31, 2010. The decrease is largely attributable to the reduction in property and equipment, which reduced by 25% from P6.2 billion in 2010 to P4.6 billion as of end of 2011. During the year, the Company sold one (1) RoPax vessel for net cash proceeds of P103.7 million that resulted to a gain from sale amounting to P4.6 million. The Group also disposed certain property and equipment which includes vessel parts, containers, freight equipment, and transportation and handling equipment for net proceeds of P58.2 million, resulting to gain from sales of P6.8 million. Total current assets jumped 22% from P4.8 billion to P5.9 billion as of December 31, 2011. The increase was mainly attributed to the classification of five (5) of the Group’s existing vessels as assets held for sale with total carrying values of P692.6 million, net of impairment losses. The management assessed that these vessels met the criteria as assets held for the following reasons: (1) the related assets are available for immediate sale; (2) preliminary negotiations with willing buyers were executed; and (3) the sale is expected to be completed within 12 months from the end of reporting period. The Group recognized deferred tax assets of P964.1 million as management believes that sufficient taxable profit will be available in the near future against which the NOLCO can be utilized. Total liabilities amounted to P8.8 billion, 2% higher against P8.6 billion as at December 31, 2010. In March 2011, the Company’s P2.0 billion short-term debt was refinanced to long term loan and another P2.0 billion loan was used to refinance the existing long-term debt of the Company as of 31 December 2010. 20 The total long-term debt amounted to P4.0 billion which consist of Series A and Series B Term Loans amounting to P2.0 billion each. The interest on each of the Series A and Series B Term Loans is a combination of fixed and floating rates. Fifty percent (50%) of the principal amount of each of the Series A Term Loan and Series B Term Loan, respectively, have a fixed interest rate, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) have a quarterly floating annual interest rate, provided, such floating interest rate shall have a minimum of 5.0% per annum. The principal of the loans is subject to 16 quarterly amortizations which commenced at the end of the third quarter from the drawdown date until March 2016. Total Stockholders’ Equity decreased by 16% or P649.8 million to P3.3 billion from P3.9 billion as of December 31, 2010 mainly due to the net loss incurred for the year.

Net cash from operating activities was down 175% or P1.1 billion from P619.3 million the previous year as the Group updated payment of its trade and other payables, including income taxes and creditable withholding taxes, totaling P795.3 million. Net cash generated from investing activities amounted to P224.6 million which were largely due to the sale of property and equipment and investments in a subsidiary, partially offset by the capital expenditures of P398.0 spent in 2011 for vessels’ capitalized drydocking and major repairs. During the year, the Company sold one (1) RoPax vessel for net cash proceeds of P103.7 million. The Group also disposed certain property and equipment which includes vessel parts, containers, freight equipment, and transportation and handling equipment for net proceeds of P58.2 million. Also, in 2011, the Company collected the proceeds from the sale of its investments from the Jebsen Group of Companies amounting to P399.9 million. During the year, the Company was able to refinance both its short-term and long-term loans with Banco de Oro Unibank, Inc. (BDO) by availing P4.0 billion term loans. Proceeds from the loans were mainly used to: refinance the P2 billion (in-default) corporate loan pay due portion of loans payable worth P1.7 billion 23 pay interest for the year of P363.3 million pay dividend amounting to P366.0 million settle debt transaction costs and finance lease obligations of P48.9 million and P100.6 million, respectively. Fiscal Year 2010 versus 2009 Consolidated Income Statements 2GO, for the most part of 2010, operated on limited capacity as most of its fleet was on scheduled drydocking and maintenance. Consolidated revenues increased by P1.1 billion compared to the previous year to reach P11.6 billion. Revenue from supply chain solutions, specifically trading, contributed to higher revenues overall. Local freight business also registered an increase of 1%, contributing a total of P5.3 billion revenue in 2010. The market was being served by chartering freighter vessels in the absence of its own vessels that were on drydock and maintenance. Freight utilization reached 94% on SuperFerry vessels. 2GO has fully integrated its total supply chain solutions business, the objective of which is to provide a more seamless solution to clients. Both Zoom in Packages (ZIP) and Reefer Van Specialists (RVSI) have been merged with ATS. ZIP’s business focus is on full container load (FCL) and loose container load (LCL) cargo while RVSI focuses on the cold chain business, which involves the transport of frozen and perishable goods. Merging these companies is seen to result in cost efficiencies and better synergies and ultimately serving customers better. Passenger business, inclusive of auxiliary revenues, reduced by P58.7 million or 3% to register at P2.18 billion revenues from P2.24 billion in 2009. It was able to however, maximize its limited operating capacity by achieving load factor of 79%. Total costs and expenses reached P12.2 billion, 21% higher than 2009. This is largely brought about by higher fuel expense as a result of rising average fuel prices. Given the uncertain fuel price behavior, 2GO continues to undertake various initiatives to mitigate its negative impact including the use of less expensive type of fuel. Terminal expenses increased due higher outside services costs. The expanding trading business also contributed to higher cost of sales. 2GO registered a P808.7 million Net Loss Attributable to Holders of the Parent Company. 2GO booked a one-time Impairment loss on ships in operation of P778.8 million during the year. Finance costs of P228.8 million were substantially higher versus last year from increased interest bearing loans. 2GO borrowed funds to finance the purchase of three roll-on roll-off passenger vessels and two fast crafts. 2GO also benefited from deferred income tax of P472.7 million. In December 2010, 2GO principal shareholders, Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV) and Aboitiz and Company (ACO), sold their combined shareholdings of 93.2% in 2GO to Negros Navigation (NENACO) for a price of P1.8813 per share or a total of P4.3 billion. The sale, however, excluded the Aboitiz Jebsen group of companies, which includes international freight chartering, ship management and manpower businesses. The Company sold its 62.5% equity stake in each of Aboitiz Jebsen Bulk Transport Corporation, Aboitiz Jebsen Manpower Solutions, Inc. and Jebsen Maritime Inc. to AEV for a total price of P 355.9 million. It also sold its 50% equity stake in Jebsen Management (BVI) Limited to AEV for P 44.0 million. Buyers AEV and ACO paid the full price last January 2011. 2GO recognized a net gain of P213 million from this sale. During the period, 2GO recorded P305.4 million in net income from discontinued operations generated from the Aboitiz Jebsen group. Earnings per Share Earnings per share is computed by dividing Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent over weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Earnings per share for 2010 stood at (P0.33)/share. This is lower versus 2009 because of the net loss generated for the year. Consolidated Balance Sheets and Cash Flow Statements The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 were restated to reflect the balance sheets of its business alliances. 24 As of December 31, 2010, consolidated assets of 2GO amounted to P12.6 billion, posting an 18% increase from December 31, 2009 of P10.6 billion. Property and equipment registered a 29% increase from P4.8 billion to P6.2 billion from the acquisition of three ropax vessels and higher vessel refurbishments & improvements. Assets of the company were being re-fleeted and modernized to increase operating efficiencies. Higher deferred income taxes from P255.5 million to P719.0 million also contributed to the increase in overall assets or 181% and higher other noncurrent assets from P262.9 million to P386.1 million or 47%. Total current assets are about the same in 2010, reducing marginally byP44.0 million or less than 1%. The decrease was mainly attributed to lower cash and cash equivalents from P1.1 billion to P804.7 million. The P291.0 million decrease was offset by higher freight receivables and non-trade receivables relating to the sale of the Aboitiz Jebsen group of companies. Receivables from service fees and insurance and other claims however reflected a decrease as of the period. Total liabilities amounted to P8.6 billion, a 58% increase from 2009. Total interest bearing loans stood at P4.0 billion. This is inclusive of the P2.0 billion five-year corporate fixed rate note facility issued last May to finance vessel acquisitions and maintenance. Trade and other payables also registered higher than last year bought about by higher accrued expenses and dividends payable. 2GO declared special cash dividends equivalent to P0.15 per share to all stockholders on record as of December 15, 2010. The special cash dividend represents the sales proceeds of the Aboitiz Jebsen companies, net of taxes and other related costs. The dividend payment was made on January 12, 2011. Stockholders’ Equity decreased by 23% to P3.9 billion from P5.2 billion as of December 31, 2009 mainly due to lower retained earnings brought about by the net loss for the period. Cash Flow Statements Total additions to property and equipment reached P3.7 billion mainly because of vessel acquisitions and drydocking of five (5) vessels to ensure their future reliability. These expenditures were financed by long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period stood at P804.7 million. Fiscal Year 2009 versus 2008 Consolidated Income Statements 2GO ended the year 2009 with net income attributable to equity holders of parent of P546.1 million, a 559% improvement over just P82.8 million in 2008. Consolidated revenues increased by P237.2 million, largely from the sale of goods and service fees. In September 2009, 2GO lost a ship and the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) thereafter temporarily suspended the remainder of its fleet. This greatly affected freight and passenger business. All vessels ultimately passed the MARINA’s audit and inspection and were cleared for sailing shortly after the suspension. All 2GO vessels, their cargo and passengers are fully insured to the extent mandated by law. Devastating typhoons, affecting overall operations although 2GO responded with speed and resources, also plagued the last quarter of 2009. Local freight business contributed P5.3 billion in revenues for the year 2009, a 3% or P148.3 million decreased from the same period in 2008. Passenger business, inclusive of auxiliary revenues, reduced by P342.8 million or 13% to register at P2.2 billion revenues from P2.6 billion in 2008. On the other hand, 2GO’s overall value added business, inclusive of supply chain, jumped P709.3 million to reach P2.5 billion in 2009. 2GO continues to build on this business with bright industry prospects. Fuel costs and charter hire costs dropped in 2009 leading to a P353 million decline in operating expenses and 48% improvement in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to register at P1.4 billion in 2009. Earnings per Share Earnings per Share is computed by dividing Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent Company over weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Earnings per share for 2009 stood at P0.22/share. This is higher versus 2008 because of higher net income. 25 Consolidated Balance Sheets and Cash Flow Statements On April 30, 2009, the principal stockholders of 2GO namely, AEV and ACO, received a firm and final advice from KGLI-NM, that the proposed acquisition of 2GO shares will not come to fruition based on the terms agreed upon in the Memorandum of Agreement signed on September 23, 2008. 2GO and NENACO however, agreed to continue to explore service and process improvements for better margins and cost benefits to both companies. As of December 31, 2009, consolidated assets of 2GO amounted to P10.6 billion, posting a 13% increase from December 31, 2008 of P9.4 billion. Total current assets reflected a 15% increase from P4.2 billion to P4.8 billion as of December 31, 2009. The increase was mainly attributed to higher Non-trade receivables by P266.6 million directly related to the SuperFerry 9 incident and higher Inventories such as materials, parts and supplies by P164.8 million. 2GO’s net Property and Equipment increased by P580.3 million. Assets of the company were being re-fleeted and modernized to increase operating efficiencies. Slowly, 2GO is increasing its capacities after it sold vessels in the past to capitalize on high market rates. In 2009, internally generated funds were used to purchase two freighters, two fast crafts, and one roro-passenger vessel at very competitive rates. In addition to asset purchases, funds were also use for the regular maintenance of its assets, including drydocking and vessel improvements. Total liabilities amounted to P5.5 billion, a 13% increase from 2008. Total interest bearing debt was up by P100.1 million from P1.3 billion in 2008. 2GO continued to be committed in gearing towards a more solid financial position and delivering positive cash flows. Trade and other payables showed a P177.5 million or 5% addition from 2008 mainly from the increase in trade payables. Stockholders’ Equity likewise increased by 12% to P5.2 billion from P4.6 billion as of December 31, 2008 due to higher net income of December 31, 2009. Cash generated from operations amounted to P1.1 billion. Total capital expenditures for the period stood at P1.9 billion. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year was at P1.1 billion. Material Changes (+/-5% or more) in the Financial Statements Income Statements 2% higher total revenues due to: 20% increase in service fees from higher warehousing revenue 49% increase in sale of goods due to full year operation of Scanasia Overseas, Inc., (Scanasia) a supply chain company acquired by 2GO Express, Inc. in June 2008 2% lower costs and expenses as a result of: 6% lower operating expense primarily due to 34% lower fuel price, 19% lower food and subsistence, 41% lower sales concessions and 32 percent lower commissions 27% lower terminal costs due to lower transshipment fees. Balance Sheets 13% higher total assets due to: 18% higher net receivable primarily due to increase in non-trade receivables. 52% increase of inventories because of higher merchandise inventory and higher materials, parts and supplies of spare parts 11% higher prepaid expenses 328% higher investment in associates from MCCP’s improved results of operations and additional investment with Kerry-ATS Logistics Inc. (KALI), the joint venture with Kerry Logistics Network of Hong Kong or KLN 14% higher property and equipment from additional vessels purchased. 68% higher loans payable from additional bank borrowings 12% higher stockholders’ equity from higher retained earnings 26 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) The following KPIs are used to evaluate the financial performance of 2GO and its subsidiaries: a.

Total fuel/lubes expense is a major component of 2GO’s total costs and expenses. 2GO is constantly looking for ways to reduce fuel consumption to lessen the impact of the increasing fuel prices on the bottom line. ii. Except as disclosed in the management discussion and analysis and notes to the financial statements, there are no other known events that will trigger direct or contingent financial obligation that is material to 2GO, including any default or acceleration of an obligation. There are also no other known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on revenues or income from operations. iii. All significant elements of income or loss from continuing operations are already discussed in the management discussion and notes to financial statements. Likewise any significant elements of income or loss that did not arise from 2GO’s continuing operations are disclosed either in the management discussion or notes to financial statements. iv. There is no material off-balance sheet transaction, arrangement, obligation, and other relationships of 2GO with unconsolidated entities or other persons created during the reporting period. v. Seasonal aspects of the business are considered in 2GO’s financial forecast. vi. 2GO does not expect any liquidity or cash problem within the next twelve months. Capital expenditures are funded through cash generated from operations and additional borrowings. Outlook With a stronger handle on costs and expenses today, the next focus is on top line revenues. We aim to continue providing value added services at the lowest cost. Super Ferry vessels, with lower cost per slot can command higher service margins from its frequency, speed, reliability and overall better service. The realization of the synergies pursued with aggressiveness throughout 2011, is expected to be the fulcrum with which improvements in top line revenues would provide healthier gross margins and bottom line figures in 2012. The consolidated entity has sets its sights on aggressive targets and a strong passion for the Supply Chain business. Sales and business development teams are now in the final stages of securing new account principals which can bring about unprecedented growth to the Company on the Logistics business. This is completely in line with the vision of the senior leadership to transform 2GO, together with its parent company, NENACO, from a mere shipping company to a total logistic solutions package to a wider clientele base, thus creating greater value to shareholders.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions In the ordinary course of business, the Registrant has transactions with fellow subsidiaries, associates, and other related companies consisting of ship management services, charter hire, management services, courier services, purchases of steward supplies, availment of stevedoring, arrastre, trucking, rental and repair services. The Registrant needs these services to complement its services to the freight and passage customers. The identification of the related parties transacting business with the Registrant and how the transaction prices were determined by the parties are discussed in the Note 24 of the consolidated financial statements. The Registrant will continue to engage the services of these related parties as long as it is economically beneficial to both parties. The Corporation has no transaction during the last two years or proposed transaction to which it was or is to be a party in which any of its directors, officers, or nominees for election as directors or any member of the immediate family of any of the said persons had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest. Moreover, 2GO and its subsidiaries do not have existing or proposed transactions with parties that are considered outside of the definition of "related parties" but have the influence of negotiating the terms of material transactions that may not be available to other, more clearly independent parties on an arm's length basis. PART IV – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ITEM 13. Corporate Governance There have been studies relating managerial behaviour and organizational performance to good corporate governance. While academic research and institutional studies have very limited explanatory power to draw substantive conclusions about the impact of corporate governance on corporate performance, there are plenty of hard evidence to show that investors pay more for well-governed companies. There is also widespread recognition on the importance of transparency and accountability both in government and in the business community. As businesses continue to open up to the global market and liberalization happens, the decision-making process becomes more diffused. This brings up the level of accountability of corporate leaders to all their stakeholders, including employees, customers and in particular, their shareholders. In 2GO, no less than its Board of Directors, at the top of the Company’s corporate governance structure, who takes the lead. It is the Board who is tasked to strike a balance between conformance and performance; long-term strategy and day-to-day operations; form and substance. The Board is the key to the success of any corporate governance directive. BOARD STRUCTURE Compliance to the principles of good governance starts at the top. The director’s position is one built on trust and integrity. The Board has the fiduciary responsibility to ensure the company’s prosperity by collectively directing the company’s affairs, while meeting the appropriate interests of all its stakeholders. 36 The 2GO Board is a team of nine (9) highly respectable individuals—seven (7) non-executive directors which includes the Chairman and only two (2) executive directors. Of the nine (9), there are three (3) independent directors, including the Chairman, who are experts in their respective fields. Chairman : Members : Francis C. Chua, Independent Director Sulficio O. Tagud, Jr. Jeremias E. Cruzabra Nelson T. Yap Raul Ch. Rabe, Independent Director Monico V. Jacob, Independent Director Mark E. Williams Geoffrey M. Seeto Patrick Ip Splitting up the role of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) was brought into focus when shortcomings in corporate governance were observed in companies where the two roles are combined. Thus, to foster an appropriate balance of power, increased transparency, accountability and control over company operations, the elected Chairman of the Board, a non-executive director, is separate and distinct from the appointed CEO of 2GO. BOARD MEETINGS In the January 16, 2012 report to the SEC, the 2GO Corporate Secretary’s Certification on Directors’ Attendance in Board Meetings summarized the attendance record of the members of the Board of Directors of the corporation for the period January 1, 2011 to December 29, 2011.

BOARD COMMITTEES The Board has three (3) committees—the Compensation, Remuneration and Nomination Committee, the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Risk Management Committee. The Board and its committees oversee and advise management in developing the company’s financial and business goals, oversee its public disclosures and the processes behind them, and evaluate management's performance in pursuing and achieving those goals. 37 COMPENSATION, REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE The Compensation, Remuneration and Nomination Committee is mainly responsible for Establishing the criteria for the selection of directors and senior management and recommend Board nominees and committee membership. Establishing the overall compensation philosophy of the company including directors and employee compensation, benefits and incentive plans. This committee is likewise is responsible in reviewing the management development and succession policies. In 2011, the committee membership was as follows: Chairman Members : Mr. Sulficio O. Tagud, Jr. : Mr. Mark E. Williams Mr. Geoffrey M. Seeto Mr. Geoffrey M. Seeto was appointed by the Board as a member of the Committee in October 2011, replacing Ms. Michelle Lu upon her resignation. AUDIT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE The Board Audit and Corporate Governance Committee has oversight function over the audit activities performed by the company’s internal auditors and the nominated external auditor for the year. The committee oversees internal and disclosure controls and procedures. The committee also takes the lead in promulgating and overseeing the principles of corporate governance by reviewing committee charters, directors’ independence as well as code of ethics for executives, employees and directors. Composition The Board Audit and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of four (4) board members, one (1) of which is an independent director and one (1) ex-officio member. Chairman Members : Mr. Francis C. Chua, Independent Director : Mr. Patrick Ip Mr. Mark E. Williams Mr. Geoffrey M. Seeto Mr. Evan C. Mcbride, Ex-Officio member Mr. Patrick Ip was appointed by the Board as a member of the Committee in October 2011, replacing Ms. Michelle Lu upon her resignation. Mr. Evan C. Mcbride, on the other hand, is a Director of NENACO. Committee Meetings The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee met three (3) times in 2011. All three meetings were duly attended by the committee members. In its meetings, the committee tables for discussion the audit master plan for the year; the highlights of internal audit results and the corresponding action plans; the performance of the internal audit team; the selection and approval of the external auditor for the year and their audit timetable; and the presentation and endorsement for Board approval of the prior year’s audited financial statements. In the presentation of the audit master plan for the year, the committee reviews and assesses the robustness of the audit risk assessment methodology used by internal audit as this becomes the basis in allocating its limited manpower resources to auditable units that are rated to be comparatively riskier than others. A detailed Audit Committee Report for 2011 is presented in a subsequent section. 38 RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE The ultimate accountability over risk oversight and risk management in the organization rests with the Board. However, the Risk Management Committee, as a Board subcommittee, is responsible in leading the organization’s strategic direction in the management of material business risks such that leaders are able to make informed decisions. The committee also provides oversight for the establishment, implementation, and effectiveness review and assessment of the company’s risk management framework. The 2GO Risk Management Committee in 2011 was composed of the following: Chairman Members : Amb. Raul Ch. Rabe : Mr. Mark E. Williams Mr. Geoffrey M. Seeto Mr. Evan C. Mcbride, Ex-Officio Member Mr. Patrick Ip Mr. Patrick Ip was appointed by the Board as a member of the Committee in October 2011, replacing Ms. Michelle Lu upon her resignation. Mr. Enrique M. Aboitiz, Jr. was also appointed by the Board as a member of the Risk Management Committee from March until his resignation on June 15, 2011. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POLICY Meritocracy based. This is the corporate compensation philosophy for executive remuneration in 2GO. Commensurate compensation is given based on the annual performance evaluation of its executives. Any change in compensation is subject to full discussion and concurrence by the Board upon the review and recommendation of its Board Compensation, Remuneration and Nomination Committee. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT The table of the monthly fixed allowance and per diem per meeting attendance of the 2GO Board of Directors in 2011 is shown below. Compensation Monthly Fixed Allowance Board Meeting Per Diem Committee Meeting Per Diem Director P80,000 P30,000 P30,000 Chairman of the Board P120,000 P45,000 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY In the pursuit of the mission to become more responsible corporate citizens, efforts of 2GO on corporate social responsibility programs for 2011 were geared towards three (3) main areas: education, social advocacy and environmental protection and rehabilitation. CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT The 2GO Code of Business Conduct serves to guide employees actions aligned with the company’s corporate values. The Code consists of policies relating to ethical and legal standards of behaviour that 2GO expects of its employees. Its applicability extends to all the business units in the organization. The Code explicitly states the corresponding disciplinary actions that include suspension and termination for violations committed against company policies and the Code. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SCORECARD While companies are not expressly mandated to comply with recommended best practices on corporate governance, the “comply-or-explain” approach employed by the SEC and PSE through its Corporate Governance scorecard and disclosures definitely exerted pressure for companies to comply. For the past 4 years, 2GO has participated in the assessment of corporate governance standards and practices of publicly listed companies. This is an annual appraisal conducted by the Institute of Corporate Directors in partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 39 2GO corporate governance scorecard has improved from its 70% rating in 2007 to 90.3% in 2009 or from a second quartile ranking up to the Silver Category. The company is waiting for its 2010 scorecard. The improvement is a testimony of the company’s unwavering pursuit of systemic corporate governance reforms within the organization. OUTLOOK For any company, more so for publicly listed companies such as 2GO, the practice of good corporate governance is believed to bring about added shareholder value. Thus, there is a willingness to pay a premium for well-governed companies. Under the new management, there is assurance to uphold the same level of commitment to the standards and principles of good corporate governance. The direction is to lead the business to a healthy and robust future as businesses become more complex and as markets become more open and global. FURTHER INFORMATION The following are available on www.atsc.com.ph/IR/governance ATS Corporate Governance ATS Articles of Incorporation ATS Code of Business Conduct ATS By-Laws ATS Anti-Money Laundering Statement of Policies & Procedures INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY GOVERNANCE The year 2011 can be summarized as a transition year for the entire organization. With Information Technology (IT) already playing an important and strategic role in both NENACO and 2GO, the integration of the different IT applications, infrastructure and IT organization was seen as a critical success factor of the Merger and Acquisition (M&A). The Information Technology agenda was then tackled at the highest level of management. Since both NENACO and 2GO had their own passage and freight systems, a formal selection process consisting of rd internal evaluation as well as a 3 party (i.e., SGV & Co.) assessment were conducted to identify the best system to be adopted by the integrated company. The Freight division easily selected the eFOS freight system from 2GO. However, the Passage division had to spend more time evaluating the merits of the passage systems from both companies. Eventually, the Nexus passage system from 2GO was selected. Part of the agreement, however, were the enhancements on both eFOS and Nexus system to accommodate key functionalities from the NENACO systems that were deemed to be better or more appropriate for the integrated Freight and Passage processes. By December 2011, the Freight and Passage divisions were already using one freight and passage systems respectively. The Supply Chain systems, Quikair for the Express business and SAP for the Distribution, were retained, as they did not have a competing system from NENACO. An integrated Financials and HR system using the Oracle EBS R12 system was being developed and is scheduled to Go Live by July 2012. The NENACO and IT teams also underwent its own integration program. NENACO team members where relocated to the 2GO IT area and an integrated IT organizational structure was implemented to provide more focus on Applications Development as well as End-User Support – the two areas where we needed to provide the most, due to the ongoing business units’ integration programs. A job/task analysis project was also initiated to further review the current IT structure and complement. The increase in attrition affecting mostly the rank & file IT employees were countered by retention initiatives as well as an increased effort to hire replacements. On the IT infrastructure side, maintenance activities were continually being done to cover the extensive data centre and network infrastructure. With the integration of systems, some of the NENACO infrastructure have already been made redundant and are being slowly decommissioned to reduce the IT operations cost. 40 rd With IT outsourcing as a major direction for cost reduction objectives, the email service was outsourced to a 3 Party email provider by the end of December 2011. Future areas for outsourcing include Backup and Recovery services, Collaboration and Workflow. With the IT applications and infrastructure seen to continue evolving in the 2012-2013 time frame, both the IT Strategy Committee and the Information Security Committee will be reconvened to serve as the venue for discussion and agreement of the future IT directions, initiatives and investments. ENTERPRISE WIDE RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (ERM) In 2011, initiatives were focused on the integration of NENACO and 2GO. Policies and procedures were integrated in order to support the merging of processes of two separate companies. Risk Management team focused on integrating the insurance requirements for both NENACO and 2GO. Insurance policies were reviewed and correspondingly, adopt an insurance program that best fit the requirements of NENACO and 2GO under a cost-effective package. The management of both NENACO and 2GO considers Risk Management as an integral part of business operations, maintaining its direction that ERM is a shared responsibility, company-wide, and ensure that risk exposures are identified and proactively manage in order to create value-adding service to the organization and consistently achieve stakeholder’s expectation. Risk Management team has developed a road map for re-launching of ERM program to the newly-integrated NENACO and 2GO. The road map will run its full course within 2012 with the following phases: I. Policy Creation a. Revisit current ERM philosophy and framework b. Validating if philosophy and frame will still be applicable c. Establishing Risk Management Council who will drive ERM initiatives II. Concept Loading a. Re-launching ERM philosophy and framework to all business units b. Cascading ERM concepts to all team members III. Planning and Management a. Creating Risk Register on a per business unit level b. Validating if current identified risk and its treatment are still applicable c. Identifying, assessing and treating new risks inherent to integration of NENACO and 2GO IV. Establish Business Continuity Management a. Assessing the need for Business Continuity Program b. Establishing business continuity plan for the top identified risk exposure V. Validation and Review a. Validating if risk treatment are being implemented b. Reviewing if the risk treatment strategies are effective and efficient c. Assessing the maturity of Risk Awareness within the group The end goal is that by the end of 2012, ERM philosophy and framework is already re-established within the 2GO Group, Inc. and its allied companies. Concurrently, Risk Management team will embark on re-assessing the Strategic Risks which were previously identified. There is a need to validate if risk exposures are still applicable after the change in management and integration of NENACO and 2GO. The following has to be validated: 1. What are the new Strategic Risks that the company considers? a. Are previously identified strategic risks still applicable? b. Are there new Strategic Risks identified based on the current company strategies and objectives? c. What strategic risks need to be address immediately? 41 2. What are the new Strategic Risks that the company considers? a. Are the identified risk treatment implemented? If not, how we effectively address the risks? b. What are the current controls in order to minimize the impact of the identified risks? Within the first half of 2012, it is expected the new top risks are already identified and the risk owner will treat their risks and corresponding programs and projects will be instituted as risk response to effectively manage its risk exposures. We saw in previous years the importance of implementing Risk Management framework as a tool in handling difficult times. Hence, re-establishing ERM to the newly-integrated NENACO and 2GO will be of utmost value-adding initiative for the whole organization. Focus and attention on raising risk awareness and re-embedding risk management culture within the policies and processes throughout the organization will provide more confidence in achieving corporate goals, thereby delighting those we serve and delivering our vision as face the future of NENACO and 2GO. AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Board Audit Committee (AudCom) is an independent operating body directly reporting to the Board of Directors. It assists the Board in the carrying out its functions by providing an oversight role in ensuring the integrity of the company’s financial reports, its compliance with regulatory requirements, and the performance of the company’s internal audit function. The AudCom maintains an effective working relationship with the Board by providing them information necessary in making good governance and audit-related decisions. Membership The Board Audit Committee is composed of four (4) Directors and one (1) Ex-Officio member: Francis C. Chua, Chairman, Independent Director Michelle Lu, Director * Mark Williams, Director Geoffrey Seeto, Director Evan McBride, Ex-Officio * resigned effective October 13, 2011, replaced by Patrick Ip Meetings The Board AudCom held three (3) meetings in 2011. All meetings were attended by the AudCom members. Committee Member Feb 25 Apr 28 July 20 Francis Chua Mark Williams Geoffrey Seeto Evan McBride Michelle Lu (attendance via phone patch) In the February 25 meeting, the AudCom reviewed, discussed and endorsed for Board approval 2010 Audited Financial Statements of 2GO presented by SGV & Co., the Company’s external auditing firm. The general assessment of the company’s internal control system and the internal audit plans and programs for 2011 were likewise presented to during this meeting. In the subsequent meetings, internal audit reports were presented and discussed extensively. For 2011, discussion highlights were focused in the areas of vessel and passenger safety and security, physical and environmental data security and access as well as process controls in its supply chain and freight businesses. The selection and approval of the external auditor for the year 2011—SGV & Co. -- was agreed upon and endorsed to the Board during the AudCom’s midyear meeting in July. 42 System of Internal Controls The framework of control, risk management and governance processes are existing within the 2GO group of companies. The integration and streamlining efforts of management as a result of the buyout caused some of these processes to be combined and/or reduced to provide the basic elements of control and good governance needed to sustain operations. There is continuous effort to further enhance and align processes to meet organizational goals. The culture of accountability is apparent with the general adherence of employees to management policies and directives in order to achieve company objectives. The internal control system is effectively designed to safeguard assets; to secure the relevance, reliability and integrity of information and as far as possible the completeness and accuracy of records; and to ensure compliance with statutory requirements. For 2011, most business units posted increases in their audit ratings compared to the previous year. The less-thansatisfactory results of the supply chain operations and systems audits caused management to focus its efforts in improving this segment of the business. Various measures are being undertaken by management including organization restructuring across all business units to allow streamlining of functions for the effective execution of responsibilities. Continuous enhancement of performance metrics and speedy resolution of audit issues raised are likewise given focus to assure company objectives are met. Moving forward, 2GO management is responsible in maintaining the internal control system and ensuring that resources are properly applied in the manner and to the activities intended. The AudCom is pleased to note that the business units have been proactive in addressing recommendations with regards to the enhancement of the internal control environment. Internal Audit In accordance with established Standards and Code of Ethics of the profession, the Internal Audit Department (IAD) continually strives to improve the proficiency, effectiveness and quality of the internal audit activities. The IAD reports to the Board AudCom the highlights on the validation of the operational effectiveness of key activities and controls. The assessment focused on policies and procedures relating to processes in finance, operations, and IT systems. The accomplishments realized by IAD in 2011 were not without difficulties. There were a number of constraints and limiting factors such as unfilled manpower plantilla in Audit and changes in the organizational processes that warranted a shift in the audit focus and strategies more relevant to the situation. Despite above operational challenges and with limited resources at hand, IAD continued to deliver its value-adding services to help improve operations; to serve the shareholders and management of 2GO; to partner with the business units in enhancing current performance and future competitiveness; to supply a source of future management talent; and to be an active participant in the improvement of 2GO. Risk Management Risk management is fast becoming an ingrained concept and way-of-life in the organization. However, the establishment of a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan remains a major area that needs top management support and directive to see it to completion. Corporate Governance Good corporate governance is practiced not because it is required by law but because it promotes 2GO core values of transparency, openness, and accountability. For 2GO, corporate governance and a value-oriented management are pillars of business resilience. 43 External Audit SGV & Co. was appointed external auditor of 2GO for 2011. In compliance with corporate governance policy, SGV & Co. reported during the November 2010 meeting, that it will be replacing its Lead Financial Audit Partner, Ladislao Z. Avila in 2011 as it is his fifth year as SGV partner assigned to 2GO. Josephine H. Estomo is serving her first year term as the signing partner designated by SGV & Co. SGV & Co audit work focused mainly on audits of internal controls and how these safeguard the financial reporting including the financial statements of the Company. 2011 Financial Results During the period covered by this report, the new Board AudCom concurred with the opinions expressed by SGV & Co., on the overall presentation of the financial statements of the Company.
