In July 2013, STI Holdings acquired additional 328,125 STI ESG shares. As a result, STI Holdings’ ownership interest in STI ESG increased to approximately 99% as of September 30, 2013. c. STI Education Services Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “STI ESG”) The Group has investments in several entities which own and operate STI ESG schools. STI ESG is involved in establishing, maintaining, and operating educational institutions to provide pre-elementary, elementary, secondary, and tertiary as well as post-graduate courses, postsecondary and lower tertiary non-degree programs. STI ESG also develops, adopts and/or acquires, entirely or in part, such curricula or academic services as may be necessary in the pursuance of its main activities, relating but not limited to information technology services, information technology-enabled services, nursing, education, hotel and restaurant management, engineering, business studies and care-giving. Other activities of STI ESG include computer services, such as, but not limited to, programming, systems design and analysis, feasibility studies, installation support, job processing, consultancy, and other related activities. 2. Basis of Preparation and Changes to the Group’s Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of STI Holdings as of and for the year ended March 31, 2013. Changes in Accounting Policies, Disclosures and Presentation The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of STI Holdings for the year ended March 31, 2013, except for the adoption of the new and amended PFRS that became effective beginning on or after April 1, 2013. The adoption of the following amendments and interpretations did not have any significant effect on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group, except for additional disclosures: -3 PFRS 7,Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments) These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or ‘similar agreement’, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting period: a) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities; b) The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; c) The net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; d) The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including: i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above. The amendments are applicable to the Group and based on the evaluation, the amendments have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance but will affect disclosures only. PFRS 10,Consolidated Financial Statements PFRS 10 replaces the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by PFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27. A reassessment of control was performed by the Group on all its subsidiaries and associates in accordance with the provisions of PFRS 10. Following the reassessment and based on the new definition of control under PFRS 10, the Group determined that the adoption of this standard does not change its relationship over its subsidiaries and associates, therefore, has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements PFRS 11 replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC 13, Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. Instead, jointly controlled entities that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. There is no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance since its investments in joint ventures are accounted for under equity method in its consolidated financial statements. -4 PFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities PFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures related to consolidated financial statements that were previously in PAS 27, as well as all the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31 and PAS 28, Investments in Associates. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. The standard is applicable to the Group and based on the Group’s adoption of this standard will affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PFRS 13,Fair Value Measurement PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRSs for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted. This standard should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the annual period in which it is initially applied. Its disclosure requirements need not be applied in comparative information provided for periods before initial application of PFRS 13. The standard is applicable to the Group and based on the Group’s adoption of this standard does not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position and performance. PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income or OCI(Amendments) The amendments to PAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that can be reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) will be presented separately from items that will never be recycled. The amendments are applicable to the Group and based on the evaluation, the amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. The Group opted not to present supporting notes for the opening balance sheet as permitted by the amendment to PAS 1, Presentation of financial statement-clarification of the requirements for comparative information. PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised) Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and rewording. The revised standard also requires new disclosures such as, among others, a sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, information on asset-liability matching strategies, duration of the defined benefit obligation, and disaggregation of plan assets by nature and risk. Once effective, the Group has to apply the amendments retroactively to the earliest period presented. The Group reviewed its existing employee benefits and determined that the amended standard has significant impact on its accounting for retirement benefits. The Group obtained the services of an external actuary to compute the impact to their consolidated financial statements. The effects are detailed as follows: -5- March 31,2013 April 1, 2012 Increase (Decrease) Consolidated Statements of Financial Position Net pension liability Deferred tax asset Other comprehensive income (loss) Retained earnings (P =24,381,322) (45,756) 23,923,760 411,806 For the Six Months ended Sept 30, 2012 =14,880,782 P 16,454 (14,716,241) 148,087 For the three months ended June 30, 2012 Increase (Decrease) Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Pension expense Provision for income tax Net income Other comprehensive income (loss) (P =622,103) 62,210 559,893 38,640,001 =(622,103) P 62,210 559,893 38,640,001 PAS 27,Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011) As a consequence of the issuance of the new PFRS 10 and PFRS 12, what remains of PAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in the separate financial statements. The amendment is applicable to the Group and based on the evaluation, the adoption of the amended PAS 27 will not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements of the entities in the Group. PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011) As a consequence of the issuance of the new PFRS 11 and PFRS 12, PAS 28 has been renamed PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The amendment is applicable to the Group and based on the evaluation, the adoption of the amended PAS 28 will not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements of the entities in the Group. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine This interpretation applies to waste removal costs (“stripping costs”) that are incurred in surface mining activity during the production phase of the mine (“production stripping costs”). The interpretation addresses the accounting for the benefit from the stripping activity. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group; thus, does not have any impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. -6- Improvements to PFRSs These sets of improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Group adopted these standards as of April 1, 2013. PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS - Borrowing Costs This improvement clarifies that an entity that stopped applying PFRS in the past and chooses, or is required, to apply PFRS, has the option to re-apply PFRS 1. If PFRS 1 is not re-applied, an entity must retrospectively restate its financial statements as if it had never stopped applying PFRS. The amendment does not apply to the Group as the Group is not a first-time adopter of PFRS. PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the requirements for comparative information This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is the previous period. The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position and performance. PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of servicing equipment This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory. The amendment has no impact on the Group’s financial position and performance. PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Tax effect of distribution to holders of equity instruments This improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with PAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendment has no impact on the Group’s financial position and performance. PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - Interim financial reporting and segment information for total assets and liabilities The amendment aligns the disclosure requirements for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures. The amendment has no impact on the Group’s financial position and performance. New Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards Effective Subsequent to September 30, 2013 The Group will adopt the following revised standards and interpretations and amendments to existing standards enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Group does not expect the adoption of these revised standards, interpretations and amendments to PFRS to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. -7- Effective in 2014 PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments) The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. Effective in 2015 PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement PFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Work on impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting is still ongoing, with a view to replacing PAS 39 in its entirety. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through OCI or profit or loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. Deferred Effectivity Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate This interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The interpretation requires that revenue on construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis will also be accounted for based on stage of completion. The Philippine SEC and the FRSC have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and an evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard against the practices of the -8- Philippine real estate industry is completed. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group, thus, will not have any impact on Group’s financial position or performance. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Combination Involving Entities under Common Control Where there are business combinations in which all the combining entities within the Group are ultimately controlled by the same ultimate parent before and after the business combination and that the control is not transitory (“business combinations under common control”), the Group may account such business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting or pooling of interests method, if the transaction was deemed to have substance from the perspective of the reporting entity. In determining whether the business combination has substance, factors such as the underlying purpose of the business combination and the involvement of parties other than the combining entities such as the non-controlling interest, shall be considered. In cases where the business combination has no substance, the Group shall account for the transaction similar to a pooling of interests. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entities and that of the Group are reflected at their carrying values. The difference in the amount recognized and the fair value of the consideration given, is accounted for as an equity transaction, i.e., as either a contribution or distribution of equity. Further, when a subsidiary is disposed in a common control transaction, the difference in the amount recognized and the fair value consideration received, is also accounted for as an equity transaction. The Group recorded the difference as an excess of consideration over carrying amount of disposed subsidiary and presented as a separate component of equity in the combined balance sheets. Comparatives shall be restated to include balances and transactions as if the entities had been acquired at the beginning of the earliest period presented as if the companies had always been combined. Business Combination and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be re-measured until it is finally settled within equity -9- Basis of Consolidation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of STI Holdings, STI ESG and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013. In assessing control, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. Control is also achieved when the Parent Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Parent Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases. Control over the operations and assets and liabilities of the entity may exist even in cases where the Parent Company owns little or none of the entity’s equity, such as when the substance of the relationship between the Parent Company and that entity indicates that the entity is controlled by the parent company. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of STI College Kalookan, Inc. (STI-Kalookan) and STI College of Novaliches, Inc. (STINovaliches), which are both non-stock corporations but wherein STI ESG has control by virtue of management contracts. Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Parent Company loses control over a subsidiary, it: Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary; Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest; Derecognizes the unrealized other comprehensive income deferred in equity; Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received; Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained; Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and Reclassifies the Parent Company’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate. As at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, subsidiaries of STI Holdings include: STI ESG iAcademy STI College Tuguegarao, Inc. (STI-Tuguegarao) STI-Kalookan(a) STI-Novaliches(a) STI College Batangas, Inc. (STI-Batangas) (b) STI College of Dagupan, Inc. (STI-Dagupan) STI College Taft, Inc.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Transactions and Balances Eliminated on Consolidation. All significant intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Non-Controlling Interests. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in the subsidiaries not held by the Parent Company and are presented in the profit or loss and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separate from equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company. 3. Business Combinations a. Business Combination Involving Entities under Common Control As discussed in Note 1, as a result of the Share Swap, the original shareholders of STI ESG owned approximately 84% of STI Holdings while STI Holdings owned approximately 96% of STI ESG (including its 3% shareholding in STI ESG prior to Share Swap) immediately after the Share Swap. Management of the Group assessed that this transaction is a business combination involving entities under common control since STI Holdings and STI ESG are under common control of a shareholder (the “Controlling Shareholder”). Business combinations involving entities under common control are excluded from the scope of PFRS 3, Business Combinations. Management has elected to adopt the pooling of interests method when preparing the consolidated financial information in accordance with the guidance provided by the Philippine Interpretations Committee on its Q&A No. 2011-02 “PFRS 3.2 - Common Control Business Combinations”. Under the pooling of interests method: The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts; No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities at the date of the combination. The only adjustments would be to harmonize accounting policies between the combining entities; No ‘new’ goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination; Any difference between the consideration transferred and the net assets acquired is reflected within equity under “Other equity reserve”; The income statement in the year of acquisition reflects the results of the combining entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place; and Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined only for the period that the entities were under common control. Common control transactions are viewed from the perspective of the ultimate parent or the Controlling Shareholder. Since STI Holdings and STI ESG were not under common control - 11 - from the start, a predecessor entity should be identified. In this case, despite the legal form of the transaction (i.e. STI Holdings acquires STI ESG common shares through Share Swap) the predecessor entity is STI ESG since it was controlled by the Controlling Shareholder prior to STI Holdings. The Controlling Shareholder only acquired STI Holdings in March 2010. 4. Seasonality of Operations The Group’s business is linked to the academic cycle. The academic cycle which is one academic year starts in the month of June and ends in the month of March. The revenue of the Group which is mainly from tuition and other school fees is recognized as income over the corresponding academic year to which they pertain. Accordingly, revenue is expected to be lower during the first quarter of the fiscal year as compared to the other quarters if the number of enrollees remains constant. This information is provided to allow for a proper appreciation of the results of operations of the Group. 5.

As a result, De Los Santos - STI Megaclinic and De Los Santos General Hospital ceased to be associates of the Group effective June 2013. The Group’s effective percentage ownership in De Los Santos General Hospital was diluted to 10% and accordingly, such investment was classified as an AFS financial asset. - 20 - 10.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Short-term Loans, Accounts Payable and Other Current Liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of transactions, the fair values of these instruments, except for noncurrent receivables, approximate the carrying value as of financial reporting date. The carrying value of noncurrent receivable represents its fair value as the receivable earned interest until December 31, 2012. Advances to Associates and Joint Ventures and Deposits. The fair value of these instruments is estimated as the present value of all future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar type of the instruments. AFS Financial Assets. The fair values of publicly-traded instruments are determined by reference to market bid quotes as of financial reporting date. Investments in unquoted equity securities for which no reliable basis for fair value measurement is available are carried at cost, net of impairment. Fair Value Hierarchy The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, there were no other financial assets and liabilities other than AFS financial assets which are measured at fair value determined in reference with quoted prices in active market (Level 1 Hierarchy). For the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. - 29 - 17.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results and financial condition of STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the period ended September 30, 2013. All necessary adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Group as of September 30, 2013, and for all the other periods presented. I. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS a. Three months ended September 30, 2013 vs. three months ended September 30, 2012 For the three months ended September 30, 2013 the Group generated gross revenues of P496.5 million, earned a net income of P269.3 million and total comprehensive loss of P54.6 million. As compared to the same period last year, this represents P74.8 million increase in revenues and P117.4 million increase in net income. Total comprehensive income decreased to a loss of P54.6 million from an income of P151.7 million for the same period last year as a result of a decrease in an associate’s unrealized mark-to-market gain on available for sale (AFS) financial assets. The decrease in the associate’s unrealized mark-to-market gain resulted from: (1) the sale by the associate of some of the AFS financial assets; and (2) a decline in the market value of the remaining AFS financial assets from the previous period. Other comprehensive income pertains substantially to the Group’s share in associates’ unrealized mark-to-market gain or loss on AFS financial assets. 1 b. Six months ended September 30, 2013 vs. six months ended September 30, 2012 For the six months ended September 30, 2013 the Group generated gross revenues of P826.9 million, earned a net income of P454.6 million and total comprehensive loss of P864.3 million. The 11% increase in gross revenues resulted mainly from the increase in the number of students of STI Education Services Group, Inc. (STI ESG) and its subsidiaries from 68,363 last year to 71,195 students this year resulting in increased revenues from tuition and other school fees. STI ESG’s enrolment mix was more favorable in 2013 as compared to 2012, with more students opting for the four-year programs rather than the twoyear programs. Tuition fees were also increased by 5% for old students and 7% for new students. iAcademy, STI ESG’s, subsidiary had a 44% increase in tuition fee income arising primarily from increased number of students and at the same time more students enrolling in programs with higher tuition fees. Cost of educational services decreased by 3% as a result of the decrease in faculty salaries and other direct expenses. The drop in the faculty salary cost resulted from the decrease in the number of faculty members in the programs with declining enrollment, notably the nursing program, in which faculty members generally have high salaries. Cost of student activities and programs also decreased by 24% or P12.0 million this year as compared to the same period last year. Interest expense went down remarkably by 98% or P35.5 million since all previous bank loans were fully paid while new loans were only secured towards the end of the period. The P0.6 million interest expense recorded in 2013 were only for those obligations under finance lease of equipment. Equity in net gains of associates and joint ventures increased by 75% or P122.8 million due to realized gain on sale of bonds and equities held by an associate. II. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Group’s total assets as at September 30, 2013 amounted to P8,227.2 million, 3% lower than the amount as at March 31, 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in the market value of financial assets held by an associate. 2 Cash and cash equivalents declined by P307.4 million or 21% from P1,489.4 million to P1,182.0 million as at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease is due to the continuing disbursements for the construction of schools as part of the Group’s expansion program and the deposit made for the planned acquisition of West Negros University. Property and Equipment increased by 26%mainly due to the near completion of construction of buildings for STI ORCA and the ongoing construction of buildings for STI Cubao and STI Caloocan and the purchase of furniture and equipment for STI ORCA and STI Caloocan. Preparatory work on building construction for STI Calamba has also commenced. This is in line with the planned expansion of the existing facilities of STI owned schools. The Group also completed the acquisition of a real estate property, with buildings, in Batangas City to serve as the new site for its STI College Batangas, a school purchased in September from a franchisee. A deposit of P115.7 million has also been made for the acquisition of West Negros University in the Visayas. Investments in associates and joint ventures decreased by 39% due to the decline in market value of financial assets of an associate. Total liabilities increased by 199% or P731.9 million mainly due to increase in payables related to construction of school facilities amounting to P422.5 million and availment of P280.0 million short term loans. Debt-to-equity ratio stood at 0.15:1.00 as at September 30, 2013, there being only P280.0 million bank loans outstanding. The Group uses internallygenerated funds and the proceeds from the follow-on offering to pay for the acquisition and/or construction of schools. III. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs) The top five key performance indicators of the Group include tests of profitability, liquidity and solvency.

Meanwhile equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company increased at a faster rate at 101%due to the additional shares issued arising from the follow-on offering and the new shares issued resulting from the share-for-share swap between the shareholders of STI ESG and STI Holdings. Increase in gross profit margin resulted mainly from the increase in the number of students of STI ESG and its subsidiaries from 68,363 last year to 71,195 students this year resulting to increased revenues from tuition and other school fees. Direct costs were also reduced. Manner of Calculation KPI As of September 30, 2013 As of March 31, 2013 Discussion Current ratio Current assets divided by Current liabilities 1.65:1.00 5.46:1.00 The substantial decrease in current ratio on September 30, 2013 is due to the payments made for acquisition of property and equipment in accordance with the expansion plan. Quick ratio Current assets less inventories and prepayments divided by Current liabilities 1.48:1.00 5.24:1.00 0.15:1.00 0.05:1.00 Decrease in cash of P307.4 million due to the acquisition of property and equipment related to expansion plans. The company remained debt free for most of the six-month period. Income is recognized during the six-month period thus the favorable debt to equity ratio. Debt to Total liabilities divided equity ratio by Total equity IV. MATERIAL CHANGES IN BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS Decrease in Cash and cash equivalents by P307.4 million or 21% was due to the deposit made relative to the planned acquisition of a university in the Visayas and acquisition of properties intended for STI Batangas and STI Las Piñas and the purchase of STI Batangas College. In addition, there are continuing disbursements for the purchase of furniture and equipment for STI ORCA along with the completion of the building thereat. Further, there is ongoing construction in sites intended for STI Caloocan and STI Cubao. Current receivables increased by P144.0 million or 57% primarily due to the increase in the number of students from 68,363 last year to 71,195 this school year. The receivables from students doubled from P159.1 million as of March 31, 2013 to P307.4 million as of September 30, 2013. This follows the schools’ academic cycle. The academic cycle, which is one academic 5 year, starts in the month of June and ends in March of the succeeding calendar year. Inventories increased by 22% mainly due to the increased inventory of uniforms and school supplies in preparation for the second semester. Prepayments increased by 268% or P100.5 million due to substantial increases in VAT input taxes and creditable withholding taxes arising from the swap of the Group’s land in Makati City in exchange for units in the condominium building being constructed in the same property. Property and equipment rose by 26% or P681.5 million due to the purchase of furniture and equipment for STI ORCA, completion of the construction of STI ORCA, construction costs for STI Cubao and STI Caloocan, and improvement of various facilities in other owned schools. The Group also purchased a piece of property with buildings, in Batangas City for P122.1 million envisioned to be the new site of its newly acquired STI College Batangas. Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures decreased by 39% mainly due to the decline in the market value of investments in bonds and equities held by an associate. Available-for-sale financial assets increased by P28.6 million due to reclassification of investments in De Los Santos-STI Megaclinic, Inc. (Megaclinic) and De Los Santos General Hospital, Inc. (the Hospital) from Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures account as a result of the Investment Agreement entered into with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) which was implemented in June 2013. The infusion of equity in the Hospital by MPIC resulted to a dilution of the ownership of the Group to 10%, thus the reclassification. The Investment Agreement also states that shareholdings of De Los Santos–STI College (DLS-STI College) in Megaclinic would be swapped with shares in the Hospital. Noncurrent assets increased by P157.9 million or 25% due to the deposit made relative to the planned acquisition of West Negros University and the purchase of computer licenses for STI ESG. Short-term loans of P280.0 million were availed to finance short-term working capital requirements. Accounts payable and other current liabilities increased by P425.4 million or 133% due to the increase in unearned revenues relative to collected tuition and other school fees which will be recognized as income up to the end of the semester. The increase was also caused by unpaid bills for 6 construction of school buildings and P149.4 million of cash dividends which are still payable as of September 30, 2013. Current and noncurrent portion of obligations under finance lease decreased by 20% and 13%, respectively, mainly due to payment of monthly amortizations. These obligations pertain mostly to company vehicles and computer equipment purchased under finance lease arrangements. Income tax payable increased to P31.1 million from P5.0 million last March 31 reflecting the substantial increase in taxable income as tuition fees collected in advance are taxable in full upon receipt. Pension liabilities increased by 15%, as a result of the adoption of the accounting standard, Revised PAS 19, Employee Benefits, that removed the corridor mechanism and amended the concept of expected returns on plan assets, net of benefits actually paid. The Group recognized the impact retroactively based on actuarial valuation. Unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets, including the Group’s share in its associates’ unrealized mark-tomarket gains or losses on their available-for-sale financial assets decreased by net amount of P1,297.0 million. This represents a decline in the gains earlier reported as of March 31, 2013 by an associate as a result of: (1) the realization of gains on some of the AFS assets; and (2) decrease in market values of bonds and equities held by an associate as of September 30, 2013. Retained earnings increased due to the net income earned during the period. V. MATERIAL CHANGES IN INCOME STATEMENT ACCOUNTS The increase in the total revenues of P84.8 million or 11% from last year is due to the increase in the number of students of STI ESG and its subsidiaries from 68,363 to 71,195 students and the favorable enrollment mix resulting in higher revenues from tuition and other school fees. Tuition and other school fees increased by P102.8 million to P677.2 million from last year’s P574.4 million, reflective of the increase in number of students. In addition, STI ESG’s enrollment mix was more favorable in 2013 than in 2012, as enrollment leaned more towards STI Network’s fouryear programs than the two-year programs. Ratio in 2013 was 75% fouryear programs and 25% two-year programs, as compared to 70% and 30%, respectively, in 2012.

In addition, iAcademy, STI ESG’s subsidiary had a 25% increase in number of students and more enrollees in programs with higher tuition fees. Revenues from educational services also increased by P7.6 million or 10% to P87.5 million this year. Other income went down by P22.8 million or 61% due to various one-time adjustments recognized last year arising from the merger of schools with the parent company. Sale of educational materials and supplies decreased by 8%. The sale of uniforms was put on hold at the beginning of the first semester due to a planned change in design. Cost of educational services slightly decreased by 3% from P221.7 million last year to P215.3 million for the same period this year as a result of the decrease in the faculty salaries and other direct expenses. The drop in the faculty salaries resulted from the decrease in the number of faculty members in the programs with declining enrollment, notably the nursing program, in which faculty members generally have high salaries. Cost of student activities and programs also decreased by 24% or P12.0 million this year as compared to the same period last year. Cost of educational materials and supplies sold went down by 17% from P34.1 million to P28.4 million due to the change in product mix of items sold. General and administrative expenses increased by P21.5 million or 6% from P338.8 million last year to P360.3 million this year, mainly due to increases in salaries and wages of P4.0 million as vacant plantilla positions were filled up. Depreciation costs also increased due to the recognition of depreciation of the new buildings in STI Fairview, STI Novaliches and STI ORCA. Costs of utilities and outside services likewise increased substantially as STI Fairview and STI ORCA became fully operational. Professional fees increased by P7.4 million substantially resulting from the costs of legal and financial due diligence work on the planned acquisition of West Negros University in the Visayas. The increases in costs were partially offset by the minimal provision for doubtful accounts and impairment losses this year as compared to last year.

The 8 interest expense of P0.6 million pertains to obligations under finance lease covering various computer and transportation equipment.

Interest income went down by P8.5 million due mainly to discontinued imposition of interest on the loans to Philippine Women’s University (PWU) and Unlad Resources Development Corporation (UNLAD). Loss on deemed sale amounting to P36.3 million represents the amount deemed lost due to the dilution of the Group’s ownership in the Hospital from 33% to 10%.

Provision for income tax increased by P12.3 million as a result of the increase in taxable income.
