(the Company) was acquired from the Elizalde family and was incorporated in the Philippines as Twin Ace Holdings, Inc. (Twin Ace) on May 10, 1988. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tanduay Holdings, Inc. (THI), formerly known as Asian Pacific Equity Corporation (APEC). The Company is primarily engaged in, operates, conducts and maintains the business of manufacturing, compounding, bottling, importing, exporting, buying, selling or otherwise dealing in, at wholesale and retail such goods as rhum, spirit beverages, liquor products; and any and all equipment, materials, supplies used and/or employed in or related to the manufacture of such finished goods. The Company sells its products in the domestic market mainly through major distributors. On July 8, 1999, THI acquired 100% ownership of Twin Ace via share swap with Twin Ace’s existing shareholders, Tangent Holdings Corporation. On July 30, 1999, the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the change in the corporate name of Twin Ace to Tanduay Distillers Inc. (TDI) and its authorized capital increased from P = 2.0 million to P = 2.0 billion at a par value of P = 1.00 per share. TDI produces distilled spirits consisting of rum, wine, gin and brandy. Total sales for 2010 amounted to P = 11.3 billion while reported sales for 2009 were P = 10.0 billion. Five Year Rum brand continued to lead all brands capturing 84% of total sales. On June 30, 2005, TDI acquired controlling interests in Asian Alcohol Corporation (AAC) and Absolut Distillers, Inc. (ADI) formerly known as Absolut Chemicals, Inc. (ACI). AAC and ADI are domestic corporations registered with, the Philippine SEC which are the suppliers of TDI’s alcohol requirements. AAC is primarily involved in the manufacture of refined and/or denatured alcohol and in the production of fodder yeast, and to market, sell, distribute, and generally deal in any or all of such liquids or products. AAC’s principal place of business is in Pulupandan, Negros Occidental. ADI, on the other hand, is primarily engaged in manufacturing, distilling, importing, exporting, buying, selling or otherwise deal in chemicals including alcohol and molasses, at wholesale and retail and any and all equipments, materials, supplies used or employed in or related to the manufacture of such finished products. ADI’s principal place of business is in Lian Batangas. In December 2006, TDI converted certain advances to AAC and ADI amounting to P200 million and P185 million, respectively, into equity in the subsidiaries. This increased TDI’s ownership over AAC and ADI to 93% and 96% respectively. In October 2007, the Philippine SEC approved ADI’s equity restructuring. On the other hand, the increase in authorized capital stock of AAC was approved on January 10, 2008. In March 2008, TDI bought additional shares in AAC amounting to P 150 million, which increased TDI’s ownership from 93% to 95%. For purposes of consolidation as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s ownership over AAC and ADI was 95% and 96% respectively. Description of Subsidiaries/Investments The following companies are majority owned by TDI: • Asian Alcohol Corporation (AAC) – 95% AAC is a distillery located in Negros Occidental with a daily rated capacity of 150,000 liters of fine quality ethyl alcohol. AAC has a distillation process that uses molasses, yeast, water and other ingredients. It has a ten-hectare plant in Negros, which is the center of the country’s sugar industry. Plant facilities include aging facilities and a modern wastewater treatment plant, which converts distillery waste into biogas energy for its power requirements. AAC also has a methane 4 gas capture system that enables it to use the methane generated from distillation as power to fire up its boilers. • Absolut Distillers, Inc. (ADI) – 96% ADI formerly known as Absolut Chemicals, Inc. (ACI) has a daily rated capacity of 75,000 liters of fine ethyl alcohol located in a nine-hectare distilling plant in Lian, Batangas. The plant site also houses a water treatment facility, which converts distillery wastes into environmentfriendly form. ADI also sells all of its output to TDI. ADI is upgrading its distillation plant to enable it increase its production of extra neutral alcohol. ADI, in a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan, installed a high-rate thermophilic anaerobic digester and lagoon system that will capture methane from the distillation process and use it for the plant’s power requirements. This will enable ADI to reduce its power cost by an estimate of 50% of current consumption levels. The project with Mitsubishi is being undertaken under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol – a UN sponsored program that aims to reduce the emissions into the atmosphere of harmful gases like methane which emissions are the primary cause of global warming. Under the Protocol, developed countries are mandated to reduce their carbon emission levels by 2012. As an alternative compliance mechanism, developed countries may invest in CDM projects in developing countries like the Philippines. Mitsubishi provided the funding for the project in exchange for the certified emission reduction (CER) credits to be generated from the project. The CERs are the alternative compliance mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol. The Company, AAC and ADI are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Group”. Products The Group has brands in all major liquor categories – rum, gin, brandy, vodka and whiskey.

Currently, sales of TDI are still predominantly domestic. Export sales comprise approximately 1% of total sales, mostly coming from the Company’s distributor in Hong Kong and Malaysia. Distribution method of the products The Company serves more than 170,000 retail and wholesale sales outlets throughout the Philippines through 4 exclusive distributors for its liquor products and direct sales by the Company’s 6 sales staff to wholesalers and retailers. These 4 distributors have been with the Company since 1988. The Company’s distributors operate 21 sales offices and 52 warehouses located throughout the Philippines. The Company generally contracts with third parties for transportation services, thereby minimizing overhead expenses such as maintenance of vehicles and employment of laborers. In addition, this enables the Company to service a large portion of its market through various distribution channels. Status of any publicly-announced new product or services In 2009, TDI successfully launched Cossack Blue through the “Sarap Straight Up” advertising campaign. The brand’s main feature is its clear, crisp and smooth qualities that mixing would be unnecessary to any drinks. In addition, TDI also launched its newest and premier whiskey brand, Embassy Special Blended Whiskey. It is a smooth mix of imported malt whiskey and the finest selected spirits that have been skillfully and meticulously blended to achieve the character and rich depth of flavor associated with whiskies aged in oak barrels. Last quarter of 2010, two new products were launched, Tanduay Extra Strong Rhum (50%/100 proof) and T5 Light (30%/ 60 proof). With the introduction of these new products, the house of Tanduay has now a complete range of products that cover every facet of the ever-growing alcohol market. Competitive business condition/position in the industry Rum is one of the biggest product categories in the distilled spirits industry, accounting for 28% of industry sales. In this segment, TDI has established itself as the undisputed market leader, capturing over 95% of rum sales and possessing a 30% market share in the local distilled spirits industry. On the global stage, TDI rhum is second to Bacardi of Puerto Rico in sales volume despite catering primarily to the Philippine market. Currently, sales of TDI are still predominantly domestic. Export sales comprise approximately 1% of total sales, mostly coming from the Company’s distributor in Malaysia. TDI’s sales come mostly from the Visayas and Mindanao area where it is the most dominant liquor seller. The Company’s major competitors are Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. (GSMI), maker of gin and brandy products, which dominate the Luzon area capturing an estimated 50% market share in distilled spirits industry and Emperador Distilers, Inc. (EDI) which has an estimated 16% market share. Tanduay’s market strength is its 156 years corporate history which make it a part of the country’s sociocultural heritage and 148 awards in product excellence given by various international award givingbodies like the Monde Selection. TDI’s distillery subsidiary, AAC is one of the top producers of potable ethyl alcohol in the country until its operational shutdown in 2009. ADI on the other hand hold the distinction as the only alcohol producer that started the liquid fertilization program in 1999, a method of wastewater treatment wherein ADI was able to convert the liquid waste into liquid fertilizer, it became a treatment of choice of the National Biofuel Law. ADI is the first company in the Philippines in the private and manufacturing sector to have been registered a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project No.0504 in partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan last October 1, 2006 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and on December 16, 2009. It was chosen and awarded by the DENR as one of only 8 companies with their seal of approval for qualifying under Track 1 Category of the Phil. Environment Partnership Program for its superior environmental laws, rules and regulations. ADI was declared the winner of the "Success Story Award" last April 28-30, 2010 at the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines, Inc. (PCAPI) 30th National Annual Convention held in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Just recently, the Environmental Management Bureau of the DENR disclosed the results of validation with regard to the implementation of the "Revised Industrial Ecowatch System Amending Implementing Guidelines of DAO 51 Series of 1998". Based on their assessment and validation, ADI was given another "Green" (Very Good) rating for the second time in a row (2008 & 2009). Another distinction was given on February 26, 2010 for being the first Philippine Distillery to be awarded the Presidential Certificate of Recognition for exemplary environmental undertakings. 7 Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers Principal raw materials in the rum production process are the following: 1. Alcohol: The most important raw material in rum is the distilled alcohol, which is derived from molasses – the by-product of the sugar milling process. The Company obtains most of its distilled alcohol from its two subsidiaries – AAC and ADI. Alcohol is delivered directly to the plant by tanker. Quality of alcohol is being checked prior to acceptance. Alcohol accounts for 35% of product cost. Specific tax on alcohol is presently at P 14.68 per proof liter and accounts for 20% of the total cost. The tax is generally included as part of the cost charged by the alcohol supplier. With the temporary shutdown (please refer to page 16 / Legal proceedings) of AAC’s operations, TDI increased its importation of alcohol from Pakistan, Thailand & Indonesia. The distillery companies obtain their molasses from sugar mills and traders. Major suppliers are Victorias Milling Co., Binalbagan Sugar Company and Tate & Lyle Corp. 2. Sugar: Victorias Milling Co., Inc. is the primary supplier of its refined sugar requirements. 3. Water: The plants use significant amounts of demineralized water for blending liquor products. The water is supplied by the local utility. Each of the plants has its own water storage and demineralization facilities. 4. Flavoring Agents: Essences and other flavoring agents are used in the production of rum. The major supplier is International Flavors, which supplies 75% of the Company’s requirements. 5. Bottles: The Company’s liquor products are bottled in glass bottles, which are manufactured by its affiliate, Asia Brewery. Glass bottles account for approximately 25% of cost of goods sold for the Company’s products. The cost is managed in part by recycling the bottles. The Company maintains a network of secondhand bottle dealers across the nation who retrieves the bottles from the market and sells them back to the Company. The cost of reprocessing the bottles is 50% lower than the cost of purchasing new bottles. 6. Caps: All products are sealed with tamper-proof resealable aluminum caps, which average 3% of total product cost. Main supplier of caps is Lapu-Lapu Packaging Corporation. The aluminum closure sheets being used by the main supplier in the manufacture of caps is being imported from Italy. 7. Labels: Major suppliers of the labels being used by the Company is Parity Packaging Corporation, which uses imported base coated paper as its main raw material. Label cost accounts for 1% of product cost. There are no long-term purchase commitments as purchases are made through purchase orders on a per need basis from a list of accredited suppliers. Dependence on one or two major customers TDI has a large network of wholesale customers all over the Philippines through its four (4) major distributors. TDI has been dealing with these distributors for over 20 years and there had been no major problems encountered with them. Distributors have a wide network covering around 170,000 wholesale and retail outlets and are not dependent on a few customers only. AAC and ADI sell majority of its alcohol to TDI. AAC sells its entire production output to TDI. Although TDI buys most of its alcohol from AAC and ADI, it has a network of secondary suppliers locally and abroad. 8 Transactions with and/or dependence on related parties Please refer to Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the significant transactions with related parties. Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts All product names, devices and logo being used by the Company are registered with or are covered by pending Application for Registration with the Intellectual Property Office.

London, England for the use of the Barcelona and London Gin brands. The Group has existing labor supply contracts with seven (7) manpower agencies and one (1) labor cooperative covering its four plants. Need for any government approval of principal products The approval of the Bureau of Food & Drugs and Bureau of Internal Revenue is required before manufacturing a new product. In addition, all new products must be registered with the BIR prior to production. Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business Increase in value-added and excise taxes will affect manufacturing costs, which may require an increase in selling prices. Higher selling prices can lower volume of sales. The foreign alcohol market, coupled with new technologies on alcohol production and lower tariffs, can make the price of imported alcohol cheaper than those produced locally. With comprehensive review of the Clean Water Act Law through its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), the government had recognized and exempted distilleries with liquid fertilization program from the mandatory discharge fees. 9 Research and development activities Amount 2008 2009 2010 % to Revenues 10,882,822 8,710,676 9,757,240 .12 .09 .08 Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws The Group has wastewater treatment facilities in all its plants. In order to maintain said facilities, additional costs for labor, chemicals, and power supply are being charged to overhead expenses. The plants also have a permit to operate from the DENR. On October 26, 2010, the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) issued an Ex-Parte cease and Desist Order against Cabuyao Plant. This is in relation to the fire that hit TDI’s Cabuyao plant and it was alleged that the fish kill incident in the area was due to the alcohol spill brought about by the fire. TDI submitted short and long-term pollution measures for pollution management and a memorandum of agreement on Adopt-A-River project between LLDA and TDI was signed on November 26, 2010. After LLDA reinspected the TDI Cabuyao Plant on December 1, 2010, LLDA declared that the plant is now safe for operation. Temporary Lifting Order was issued by the LLDA on December 2, 2010. Last November 27, 2007, TDI, ADI and Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. signed a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project Agreement. Under this agreement, Mitsubishi Corp. will bankroll the construction of a “high-rate” thermophilic anaerobic digestor and covered lagoon to capture methane gas from the wastewater generated at ADI’s plant in Lian, Batangas. The project was being undertaken under the Kyoto-Protocol – A United Nations –sponsored program that aims to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. ADI has been given various awards from different award giving bodies for its exemplary contribution in environmental undertakings. Human Resources and Labor Matters Total number of employees and number of full time employees as of December 31, 2010: Administrative Regular monthly Regular daily Contractual Total TDI 218 207 974 1,399 AAC 4 8 7 19 ADI 36 27 63 TOTAL 4 262 241 974 1,481 TDI Except for the Cagayan De Oro Plant, all daily employees of the TDI Plants have separately formed a labor union. The Regular Daily Employees of TDI-Quiapo plant (154 employees) is under a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which expired on March 04, 2011 and is currently under negotiation. There were no strikes or labor disputes in the past three (3) CBA’s. Daily employees of Cabuyao (48 employees) are covered by a CBA, which took effect in August 2008 for a period of three years. The CBA for the daily employees union at the Negros Plant is currently in the negotiation phase. AAC 10 The CBA of AAC for its regular monthly and daily employees expired on December 20, 2005. A new CBA, which is good for five years, was signed on May 3, 2006. There has been no strike since AAC was incorporated in 1973. AAC had a retrenchment program in September and October 2009 as a result of the temporary shut down of its operation. In June 2009, Asian Alcohol stopped its operations in view of the disruption of the water supply system when the water pipe line to the plant was damaged allegedly during a road improvement project of the municipality. Earlier, local residents barricaded the Plant in protest over the pollution allegedly being caused by AACs operations. The barricades were subsequently lifted when AAC was able to obtain a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) from the local court. However, AAC could not resume operations as the local government has not yet issued a permit to repair the damaged water facilities. As a consequence, AAC embarked on a retrenchment program in 2009 and 2010 to minimize losses. As of December 31, 2010, 47 employees were separated. ADI The CBA of ADI for its regular daily employees was renewed last May 2010 and will expire on April 30, 2015. The last strike took place on June 4, 1998. TDI and ADI expect to maintain its average number of employees in the next twelve months while AAC expects to hire new employees when it resumes normal operations. There are no supplemental benefits or incentive arrangements that the Group has or will have with its employees. Major risk/s and Procedures Being Taken to Address The Risks Market / Competitor Risk The Company’s principal customers for its products are individuals in the lower income brackets comprising over 80% of the Philippine population and account for 66% of domestic liquor consumptions. The preferences of these consumers change for various reasons driven largely by demographics, social trends in leisure activities and health effects. Entrants of new competitive and substitute products to address these customers’ preferences may adversely affect the business prospects of the Company if it does not adapt or respond to these changes. In addition, the market of the Company is highly sensitive to price changes given the low purchasing power and disposable income of their customers. Any adverse change in the economic environment of the Philippines may affect the purchasing power of the consumers and adversely affect the Company’s financial position and performance. The Company responds to customer preferences by continuing to monitor market trends and consumer needs to identify potential opportunities. Its existing product portfolio covers all major liquor category and price range enabling it to respond quickly to any change in consumer preference. Development of new products and brands is continuously being undertaken to address the current and emerging requirements of the customers. Raw Material Supply Risk The major raw material of the Company is molasses which comprises 18% of its cost of goods sold. A shortage in the local supply of molasses and the volatility in its price may adversely affect the operations and financial performance of the Company. The Company addresses this risk by regularly monitoring its molasses and alcohol requirements. At the start of each annual sugar milling season, the Company normally negotiates with major sugar millers for the purchase in advance of the mill’s molasses output at agreed upon prices and terms. It 11 also imports raw materials in the event that the local supply is not sufficient or the prices are not favorable. Furthermore, Parent company, Tanduay Holdings, Inc. (THI) owns a 10% stake in Victorias Milling Company, Inc. (VMC), the largest sugar producer in the Philippines and currently the Company’s major supplier of molasses. Together with PNB, the Lucio Tan Group of Companies (LTGC) owns 25% of VMC. In addition, the acquisition of AAC and ADI was designed to control alcohol cost and minimize the chances of shortage in supply. Adequate storage facilities have been constructed to enable the Group to buy and stock molasses at a time when sugar centrals are at their production peaks. To address any disruption in supply from AAC and ADI, the Group maintains a network of local and foreign alcohol suppliers. Credit Risk The Group relies on four (4) exclusive distributors for the sales of its liquor products. Any disruption or deterioration in the credit worthiness of these distributors may adversely affect their ability to satisfy their obligations to the Group. The operations and financial condition of distributors are monitored daily and directly supervised by the Group’s sales and marketing group. Credit dealings with these distributors for the past twenty years have been generally satisfactory and the Group does not expect any deterioration in credit worthiness. The four distributors also a have a wide range of retail outlets and there are no significant concentration of risk with any counterparty. Trademark Infringement Risk The Company’s image and sales may be affected by counterfeit products with inferior quality. Its new product development efforts may also be hampered by the unavailability of certain desired brand names. The Company safeguards its brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property rights by registering them with the Intellectual Property Office in the Philippines and in all countries where it sells or plans to sell its products. Brand names for future development are also being registered in advance of use to ensure that these are available once the Company decides to use them. Except for its sister company, the Company also does not license any third party to use its brand names and trademarks. The risk of counterfeiting is constantly being monitored and legal action is undertaken against any violators. The use of tamper proof caps is also seen as a major deterrent to counterfeiting. Regulatory Risk The Company is subject to extensive regulatory requirements regarding production, distribution, marketing, advertising and labeling both in the Philippines and in the countries where it distributes its products. Specifically in the Philippines, these include the Bureau of Food and Drugs, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Bureau of Internal Revenue and Intellectual Property Office. Decisions and changes in the legal and regulatory environment in the domestic market and in the countries in which it operates or seeks to operate could limit its business activities or increase its operating costs. The government may impose regulations such as increases in sales or specific taxes which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial performance. To address regulatory risks like the imposition of higher excise taxes, the Company would employ an increase in its selling prices and make efforts to reduce costs. Other regulatory risks are managed through close monitoring and coordination with the regulatory agencies on the application and renewal of permits. The Company closely liaises with appropriate regulatory agencies to anticipate any potential problems and directional shifts in policy. The Company is a member of the Distilled Spirits Association of the Philippines which acts as the medium for the presentation of the industry position in case of major changes in regulations. 12 It is the policy of the Company to comply with existing environmental laws and regulations. A major portion of its investment in physical facilities was allocated to environmental protection systems which have been favorably cited as compliant by the environmental regulators. Item 2.

Legal Proceedings • TDI In the ordinary course of business, TDI is contingently liable for lawsuits and claims, which are either pending with the courts or are being contested, the outcomes of which are not presently determinable. In the opinion of the Group’s management and legal counsel, the eventual liability under these lawsuits and claims, if any, would not have a material or adverse effect on the Group’s financial position and results of operations. To date, the pending legal proceedings to which TDI is a party thereto is the P = 100 million civil infringement suit filed against TDI last August 2003 by Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. (GSMI) for the launching of Ginebra Kapitan, a gin product which allegedly has a “confusing similarity” with GSMI’s principal gin product. On September 23, 2003, the Mandaluyong Regional Trial Court (RTC) issued a TRO preventing TDI from manufacturing, selling and advertising Ginebra Kapitan. On November 11, 2003, the Court of Appeals issued a 60-day TRO versus the Mandaluyong RTC, effectively allowing TDI to resume making and selling Ginebra Kapitan. The Court of Appeals however subsequently affirmed the Mandaluyong RTC TRO on January 9, 2004. On January 28, 2004, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration with the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals denied the TDI motion for reconsideration on July 2, 2004. On Dec. 28, 2004, TDI then filed a petition for review on certiorari before the Supreme Court. On Aug. 17, 2009, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Court of Appeals and nullified the writ of preliminary injunction issued by the Mandaluyong RTC. GSMI filed a motion for reconsideration but the Supreme Court denied the GSMIs motion with finality on Nov. 25, 2009. While the injunction on the use by TDI of the brand name Ginebra Kapitan has been lifted, the trial of the infringement suit is still ongoing. 14 On August 9, 2006, GSMI also filed an opposition to TDIs application for registration of the brand name Ginebra Kapitan with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). The Bureau of Legal Affairs of the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) ruled on April 23, 2008 that the word “GINEBRA” is a generic term that is not capable of exclusive appropriation. The decision paves the way for the registration with the IPO of our brand name “GINEBRA KAPITAN”. On May 29, 2008, TDI’s legal counsel filed a manifestation case for the consideration of the IPO ruling in the pending cases regarding the GINEBRA brand name at the Mandaluyong RTC. On March 4, 2009, the IPO denied GSM’s motion for reconsideration but the latter filed its appeal memorandum on April 7, 2009. TDI on the other hand filed its comment on said appeal last May 18, 2009. TDI received a copy of the Supreme Court’s Resolution dated November 25, 2009 on January 5, 2010 denying San Miguel’s motion for reconsideration with finality meaning they cannot file another motion for reconsideration. The Supreme Court ruled that there was no basis for the issuance of the injunction restraining Tanduay from using GINEBRA KAPITAN as a trademark for its gin product. As of December 31, 2010, the trial of the main case in the Regional Trial Court of Mandaluyong is still ongoing. • AAC 1. On July 22, 2008, the DENR issued a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) against AAC upon the recommendation of the Pollution Adjudication Board (PAB) for failure to meet the effluent standards. AAC filed a Motion for a Temporary Lifting Order (TLO) on August 4, 2008 in which AAC committed to implement immediate and long term remedial measures until August 2011. On August 8, 2008, the PAB issued a TLO to AAC for purposes of allowing AAC to operate and implement the committed remedial measures. The said TLO was subsequently extended for successive 3-month periods based on the favourable results of PABs inspection and samplings of the wastewater discharged (effluents) by the AAC plant. In May 2009, the residents of Pulupandan complained to the local government on the alleged pollution being caused by AACs operation on the marine and aerial environment. The roads to the Plant were barricaded and some portions of the road were dug up to prevent access to the Plant. AAC was able to obtain a court TRO to lift said barricades. On June 1, 2009, the water pipeline to the AAC Plant was damaged allegedly during a road improvement project. This forced AAC to temporary stop its operations as water is a necessary element in its operations. The local government openly supported the protests of the residents and on September 8, 2009, the town’s Environment Officer recommended to the town mayor the permanent closure of AAC. In the meantime and while the protests were ongoing, the existing TLO of AAC expired on June 16, 2009. AAC filed for a renewal of the TLO and this time AAC requested for a one-year validity of the TLO. The Regional Office of the PAB favourably endorsed said application to the PAB Head Office. The PAB Head Office issued a TLO in favour of AAC initially for a period of two months to enable it to repair its damaged water pipeline in order that AAC can resume operations and that the PAB can perform inspections and samplings of it effluent as a basis for acting upon AACs motion for a one-year TLO. 2. On August 25, 2010, AAC received a Notice of Assessment from the Provincial Assessor of Negros Occidental representing deficiency realty taxes for the period 1997 to 2009 totaling P 264 million. On September 24, 2010, AAC formally protested the assessment and asked for the cancellation of the assessment on the following grounds: 1. The period to assess real property taxes for the years 1997 to 2004 has already prescribed; 15 2. The assessments covering 2005 to 2009 are void and of no legal effect because it covers properties beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the province of Negros Occidental; 3. The value of AAC’s properties indicated in the audited financial statements, which was made the basis in determining the assessed value included properties of AAC located in Manila and Cebu; 4. The notice of assessment covered anti-pollution machinery and equipment or the biogas plant which are exempt by law from taxation; 5. The notice did not follow the legal mandate in determining assessed values. As of the date of the report, the AAC protest is still being pending with the Local Board of Assessment. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) ITEM 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation I. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparisons of key operating results for the last two years are summarized in the following tables. 2010 (In millions) Net Sales Cost of sales Operating expenses Other charges-net Income before income tax Net income 2009 = 11,497 P 8,871 1,155 669 802 634 = 10,202 P 8,342 748 364 748 543 2010 vs 2009 TDI posted a consolidated net income of P634 million for the period ended December 31, 2010, higher by 17% from the 2009 net income of P543 million. Despite the very challenging year, the Company still managed to improve its performance by increasing its net sales by 13%. This can be attributed to the increase in sales volume by 7.5% and the increase in selling prices in February and October 2010 by an average of 5%. Cost of goods sold increased by 6% as alcohol cost increased by 9% 17 and the cost of brand new bottles by 13%. Gross profit rate increased from 18% to 23% or an improvement of 5%. Operating expenses is higher by 54% which can be attributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses by 110% due to higher management fees and increased depreciation expenses of AAC due to change in estimated useful life of its PPE. Selling expenses grew by 14% due to the aggressive tri-media advertising campaign of new products and the promotional tours for Tanduay Five Years brand highlighted by a nationwide concert by 5 popular bands also known as “ Tanduay’s First Five”. Other income (charges) account increased by 84%. Although interest expense for the year decreased due to the refinancing of bank debts through the issuance of the P5 billion fixed-rate retail bonds with lower interest rate, this was offset by the increase in prepayment penalty as a result of the pretermination of TDI’s syndicated loan and lower interest income by 37%. Provision for the fire loss of P228 million arising from Cabuyao plant fire in October 2010 also increased other charges by 398%. 2009 vs 2008 Amidst the global economic crisis and natural calamities which resulted in the decline of the country’s domestic agricultural sector by 2.8% in 2009, Tanduay still managed to post a consolidated net sales of P 10.2 billion for the period ended December 31, 2009, which is higher by 13% from the previous period’s of P 9.0 billion. As sales volume grew by only 3%, compared to the 14% growth last year, the increase in sales can be primarily attributable to the increase in selling prices by an average of 10% in 2009. Cost of goods sold increased at a slower rate of 10% thus enabling gross profit rate to improve from 16% to 18%. The increase in cost is primarily due to the 8% increase in excise tax, higher cost of alcohol, packaging materials and manufacturing overhead. Consolidated net income amounted to P543 million, an increase of 193% from last years’ figure of P186 million. Apart from the increase in operating income by 41%, this was also on account of the P115 million gain on changes in fair values of investment properties recognized as part of other income. Interest expense increased by 7% due to the short-term loans availed during the period. An impairment loss on property, plant and equipment amounting to P50.6 million was also recorded as a result of the temporary shutdown of AAC’s operations. There was also a drop in foreign exchange gain by 101% as the exchange rates did not significantly fluctuate in the current period compared to the previous year. Interest income decreased by 74% since the 2008 figures included interest income from advances to THI. Total operating expenses increased by 11% on account of higher selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, which both increased by 11%. The increase in selling expenses was due to higher advertising and promotion expenses as a result of Tanduay’s ongoing activities in celebration of its 155 year-anniversary in 2009. One of the highlights of the celebration was the launching of the biggest nationwide concert last March 2009, which ran until December 2009 and participated in by the country’s top 5 most popular bands. This marketing effort was geared towards attracting the young drinkers. TDI also launched a new product called “Cossack Blue” in August 2009. The effect of the other comprehensive income particularly revaluation increment of property, plant and equipment and the changes in fair value of AFS financial assets coupled by the increase in consolidated net income led to the increase in total comprehensive income by 710% from P 79 million in 2008 to P643 million in 2009. 2008 vs 2007 TDI’s consolidated net sales for 2008 amounted to P 9.0 billion or an increase of 18% from P 7.6 billion in 2007. Despite the global financial turmoil in the second half of the year, TDI still managed to 18 post growth in sales volume by 14% as a result of the favorable economic performance in the Southern Philippines. The impressive growth can also be attributed to the all year round advertising and promotional campaigns, which pushed brand awareness and patronage to TDI’s liquor products. On the other hand, the opening of TDI’s new production facility in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental also contributed to the sales growth. This made Tanduay products more accessible and readily available in the Mindanao region. The Cagayan de Oro plant has served 50% of the region’s requirement for 2008. Cost of goods sold increased by 25% and gross profit rate dropped by 5% from 21% in 2007 to 16% in 2008. This is on account of the higher cost of imported alcohol, packaging materials like brand new bottles, and manufacturing overhead as a result of higher fuel operating costs and the depreciation of the plant facilities in Cagayan de Oro. Total operating expenses decreased by 10% on account of lower selling expenses, which decreased by 14%. TDI spent more in its various promotional and advertising activities in 2007, which positively resulted in the growth of liquor sales in 2008 despite the lower advertising expenses. TDI also focused in the implementation and enhancement of its various Quality Improvement Programs so as to respond to the preferences of customers and enabling it to maintain market leadership. Other charges-net of other income, resulted in an increase of 13%. This is due to the decrease in interest income by 58% as a result of lower money market placements as compared to the previous year. Foreign exchange transactions resulted in a gain of P 56 million which is a reversal of the previous years’ loss of the same figure as the peso to dollar exchange rate appreciated in value from P 41.28 as of December 31, 2007 to P 47.52 as of December 31, 2008. TDI’s interest expense increased by 12% as a result of the additional P 500 million short term loans availed in October and December 2008. The impairment loss of AFS financial assets and property, plant and equipment was due to the decline in value of TDI’s investment in debt securities and the impairment loss as a result of the revaluation of AAC’s land, land improvements, building and building improvements and machinery and equipment. Consolidated net income decreased by 40% from 308 million in 2007 to P 186 million in 2008 II. FINANCIAL CONDITION 2010 Tanduay’s consolidated assets as of December 31, 2010 amounted to P12.2 billion, higher by 11% from P11 billion in 2009. Current ratio increased to 4.8 as compared to 3.8 in December 2009. The improvement in current ratio can be attributed to the increase in cash by 67%, receivables by 10%, inventories by 28% and prepayments and other current assets by 6%. Increase in cash and receivables are mainly due to the increase in sales while the increase in inventories is due to the increase in production volume and increase in alcohol purchases due to favorable prices from external suppliers. The increase in prepayments and other current assets by 6% is primarily due to higher input vat from TDI and ADI’s construction in progress. Property plant and equipment decreased by 13% which can be attributed to accelerated depreciation expenses on AAC’s assets as a result of the shutdown. Investment properties increased by 12% as a result of higher fair value of land and condominium units owned by the group. Total liabilities increased by 10%. This is on account of higher trade purchases which increased by 36% due to increase in production volume and the issuance of a P5 billion retail bonds in February 2010 to mature in 2015 at 8.055% interest p.a. proceeds of which were used in paying the P4.2 billion syndicated loan of TDI. Short term bank loans were also paid during the year. The decrease in net retirement benefits liabilities by 20% was due to payment of retirement liabilities by AAC and TDI . Issued Capital stock increased by 60% as a result of the stock dividends declared by the board of directors on February 23, 2010 and approved by the stockholders on May 5, 2010. This is equivalent to 60% of the Company’s authorized capital stock. 19 2009 TDI’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2009 amounted to P 11 billion. Current ratio increased to 3.8 in December 2009 from 2.8 in December 2008. The increase in current ratio is on account of the decrease in current liabilities by 27% due to the payment of short-term bank loans, which decreased by 43% and the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities by 22% due to payment of various accounts. Income tax payable on the other hand increased by 2091% in relation to TDI’s accrual of tax liability for the taxable year 2009. There was also a slight decrease in total current assets by 2% which is on account of lower inventories by 16% as a result of higher material consumption. Cash and cash equivalents increased by 8% due to the improvement in TDI’s collections during the period. Receivables also increased by 34% on account of higher sales which increased by13%. Available-for-sale investments decreased by 82% due to TDI’s disposal of its US dollardenominated government and corporate bonds in May and November 2009. Property, plant and equipment at appraised values-net decreased by 5% due to the depreciation of the plant facilities in Cagayan De Oro while the property, plant and equipment-cost increased by 13%. This can be attributed to the various construction projects of TDI, AAC and ADI in line with their expansion projects. ADI’s on-going construction and installation of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project is in partnership with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation. This also increased the deposit for future certified emission reduction by 76% due to the advances made by Mitsubishi Corporation in accordance with their agreement. Investment properties increased by 216% on account of the increase in appraisal value of the Group’s land and condominium units. Other noncurrent assets decreased by 42% on account of AAC’s non-performing loans which were reclassified to other receivables. A portion of these non-performing loans were contributed to AAC’s retirement fund. Significant changes in the equity account were the net changes in fair values of available-for-sale investments that improved by 110%, which is due to disposal of AFS with negative change in fair values. The increase in retained earnings by 19% was due to the income reported during the period. 2008 Tanduay’s consolidated total assets amounted to P11.1 billion as of December 31, 2008, an increase of 9% from the previous years’ P10.2 billion. Current ratio dropped to 2.8 in 2008 as compared to 5.4 in 2007. Items affecting the current ratio were the decrease in cash and cash equivalents by 33%, prepayments and other current assets by 17% and increase in inventories by 26%. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to payments made to various suppliers on account of bigger production to meet higher demands and interest expense on TDI’s syndicated loan. The decrease in prepayments and other current assets was due to the reclassification to property plant and equipment and inventories the marginal deposits on the importation of machinery and equipment used in the Cagayan de Oro plant and raw materials particularly alcohol, spare parts and other inventory items such as base coated paper, aluminum closure sheets and aluminum caps. This was one of the reasons why inventories increased by 26% apart from higher demand. Available-for-sale investments decreased by 51% on account of the decline in value of its AFS debt securities as of December 31, 2008. Property, plant and equipment increased by 11%. This can be attributed to AAC’s and ADI’s expansion and modernization program. ADI has started the construction and installation of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project in partnership with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation. The project aims to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as a way to help lessen the ill-effects of global warming. 20 Investment properties decreased by 22% on account of AAC’s disposal of a parcel of land and it’s building for P14 million. Consolidated total liabilities amounted to P6.8 billion in 2008 or an increase of 20% from the previous years’ P5.7 billion. This was due to the increase in accounts payable by 55% caused by purchases of alcohol and other raw materials to sustain bigger production. Another factor was the increase in short-term bank loans as the Company and AAC availed of short-term loans amounting to P500 million and P200 million, respectively, for additional working capital and expansion programs during the last quarter of 2008. Income tax payable decreased by 98% since most of the income taxes was paid during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the year. The deposits for future Certified Emission Reduction, which amounted to P40 million as of December 31, 2008, was the result of the advances made by Mitsubishi Corporation with regard to the CDM Project of ADI. The significant changes in the equity portion of TDI are the effects of the decline in value of TDI’s AFS debt securities, which led to the decrease in the net changes in fair values of available-for-sale investments by 397%. The revaluation increment in property, plant and equipment resulted in a decrease of 5% since there were fully depreciated appraised properties in 2002 that were realized in 2008. III. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The Company uses the following major performance measures. The analyses are based on comparisons and measurements on financial data of the current period against the same period of the previous year. The discussion on the computed key performance indicators can be found in the “Results of Operations” in the MD & A above. 1.) Gross Profit Ratio Gross profit ratio in 2010 was 23% versus 18% in 2009. 2.) Return on Equity Consolidated net income for 2010 amounted to P = 634 million, higher by 17% from last year’s = 543 million. Ratio of net income to equity is 11.9% in 2010 and 11.6% in 2009. P 3.) Current Ratio Current ratio for 2010 is 4.8:1 while last year was 3.8:1. 4.) Debt-to-equity ratio Debt-to-equity ratio for 2010 is 1.28:1 and for 2009 is 1.33:1. 5.) Earnings per share Earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the company is P0.658 for 2010 and P0.562 for 2009. The manner by which the Company calculates the above indicators is as follows: Gross profit rate – Gross profit/Net sales Return on Equity – Net income / Stockholders equity Current ratio – Current assets/Current liabilities Debt-to equity ratio – Total liabilities/Total equity Earnings per share – Net income attributable to holders of Company/Common shares outstanding 21 IV. OTHER MATTERS (i.) On February 12, 2010, TDI issued P = 5 billion fixed rate bonds due in 2015 with a fixed interest rate of 8.055% per annum.

(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Tanduay Holdings, Inc.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Corporate Information and Authorization for Issue of the Financial Statements Corporate Information Tanduay Distillers, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 10, 1988. The Company’s immediate parent company, Tanduay Holdings, Inc. (THI), and its ultimate parent company, Tangent Holdings Corporation (THC), were incorporated in the Philippines. The Company is primarily engaged in, operates, conducts, and maintains the business of manufacturing, compounding, bottling, importing, exporting, buying, selling or otherwise dealing in, at wholesale and retail, such finished goods as rhum, spirit beverages, liquor products, and any and all equipment, materials, supplies used and/or employed in or related to the manufacture of such finished goods. The Company sells its products in the domestic market mainly through major distributors. The Company’s registered business address is 348 J. Nepomuceno Street, San Miguel District, Manila. Authorization for Issue of the Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (BOD) on February 22, 2011. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for AFS financial assets, investment properties, land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso (Peso), which is the Company’s functional currency, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest Peso, except when otherwise indicated. Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). The term PFRS, in general, includes all applicable PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) and Interpretations issued by former Standing Interpretations Committee, the Philippine Interpretations Committee and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which have been approved by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council and adopted by the Philippine SEC. Changes in Accounting Policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations based on IFRIC interpretations which were adopted as of January 1, 2010. • Amendment to PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions, clarifies the scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions. The adoption of this amendment does not have any impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group. • Revised PFRS 3, Business Combinations, and Amendment to PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, introduces significant changes in the accounting for business combinations occurring after becoming effective. Changes affect the valuation of non-controlling interest, the accounting for transaction costs, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of contingent consideration and business combinations achieved in stages. These changes will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the periods that an acquisition occurs and for future reported results. Amendment to PAS 27 requires that a change in the ownership interests of a subsidiary without loss of control is accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners. Therefore, such transactions will no longer give rise to goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the amended standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes by revised PFRS 3 and amended PAS 27 will affect future acquisitions or loss of control of subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests. Revised PFRS 3 will be applied prospectively while amended PAS 27 will be applied retrospectively with a few exceptions. The adoption of this amendment does not have any impact on the Group since there was no business combination in 2010. • Amendment to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items, clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. This also covers the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The amendment has no impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group since it has not entered into any such hedges. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners, provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. The interpretation has no effect on either the financial position or financial performance of the Group. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers, provides guidance on how to account for items of property, plant and equipment received from customers or cash that is received and used to acquire or construct assets that are used to connect the customer to a network or to provide ongoing access to a supply of goods or services or both. The Group expects that this interpretation will not have any impact on its financial statements. Improvements to PFRS The Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC), approved in its meeting in May 2009 the adoption of Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), in April 2009. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard which are all effective beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of the following improvements did not have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements, unless otherwise indicated. • PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, clarifies that the contribution of a business on formation of a joint venture and combinations under common control are not within the scope of PFRS 2 even though they are out of scope of revised PFRS 3. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. - 49 - • PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, clarifies that when a subsidiary is classified as held for sale, all its assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale, even when the entity remains a non-controlling interest after the sale transaction. PFRS 5 also clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of noncurrent assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in PFRS 5. The disclosure requirements of other PFRS only apply if specifically required for such noncurrent assets or discontinued operations. • PFRS 8, Operating Segments, clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be reported when those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). As the Company’s CODM does review segment assets and liabilities, the Company has continued to disclose these information in Note 5. • PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarifies that the terms of a liability that could result, at anytime, in its settlement by the issuance of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty do not affect its classification. • PAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, explicitly states that only expenditure that results in a recognized asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities. • PAS 17, Leases, removes the specific guidance on classifying land as a lease. Prior to the amendment, leases of land were classified as operating leases. The amendment now requires that leases of land are classified as either “finance” or “operating” in accordance with the general principles of PAS 17. The amendments will be applied retrospectively. • PAS 36, Impairment of Assets, clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined in PFRS 8 before aggregation for reporting purposes. • PAS 38, Intangible Assets, clarifies that if an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is identifiable only with another intangible asset, the acquirer may recognize the group of intangible assets as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives. It also clarifies that the valuation techniques presented for determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are not traded in active markets are only examples and are not restrictive on the methods that can be used. • PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, clarifies the following: (a) that a prepayment option is considered closely related to the host contract when the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the lender up to the approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host contract; (b) that the scope exemption for contracts between an acquirer and a vendor in a business combination to buy or sell an acquiree at a future date applies only to binding forward contracts, and not derivative contracts where further actions by either party are still to be taken and (c) that gains or losses on cash flow hedges of a forecast transaction that subsequently results in the recognition of a financial instrument or on cash flow hedges of recognized financial instruments should be reclassified in the period that the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives, clarifies that it does not apply to possible reassessment at the date of acquisition, to embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in a business combination between entities or businesses under common control or the formation of joint venture. - 50 - • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation, states that, in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, qualifying hedging instruments may be held by any entity or entities within the group, including the foreign operation itself, as long as the designation, documentation and effectiveness requirements of PAS 39 that relate to a net investment hedge are satisfied. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation Basis of consolidation starting January 1, 2010 The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and the following subsidiaries, which were all incorporated in the Philippines and are registered with the Philippine SEC as of December 31 of each year. The Company’s ownership over the foregoing subsidiaries and their respective nature of business are as follows: Subsidiary Percentage of Ownership 2009 2008 2010 Nature of Business Absolut Distillers, Inc. (ADI)* 95 95 95 Producer of potable ethyl alcohol Asian Alcohol Corporation (AAC) 96 96 96 Producer of potable ethyl alcohol and aged alcohol * Formerly Absolut Chemicals, Incorporated The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Company using uniform accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. However, intra-group losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the assets transferred. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities, or generally have an interest of more than one-half of the voting rights of the entities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group or the Company directly or through the holding companies. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interest represents equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent. Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and the net assets not held by the Group. Transactions with non-controlling interest are accounted for using the entity concept method, whereby the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognized as an equity transaction. Non-controlling interest shares in losses even if the losses exceed the non-controlling equity interest in the subsidiary. - 51 - If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, carrying amount of any non-controlling interest, cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity, recognizes fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained, recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss and reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate. Basis of consolidation prior to January 1, 2010 The above-mentioned requirements were applied on a prospective basis. The difference, however, is carried forward in certain instances from the previous basis of consolidation. Losses incurred by the Group were attributed to the non-controlling interest until the balance was reduced to nil. Any further excess losses were attributed to the parent company, unless the non-controlling interest had a binding obligation to cover these. Losses prior to January 1, 2010 were not reallocated between non-controlling interests and the equity holders of the parent company. Business Combination and Goodwill Business combinations starting January 1, 2010 Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. As of the acquisition date, the acquirer shall recognize, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. 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 has the option to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. When a business is acquired, the financial assets and financial liabilities assumed are assessed 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 acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value as 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 charge to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the fair values of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. - 52 - Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained. A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated shall be tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the unit, including the goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the unit. If the recoverable amount of the unit exceeds the carrying amount of the unit, the unit and the goodwill allocated to that unit shall be regarded as not impaired. If the carrying amount of the unit exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, the Group shall recognize the impairment loss. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods. The Group performs its impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis every December 31 or earlier whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Business combinations prior to January 1, 2010 Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. This involves recognizing identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business initially at fair value. If the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the acquirer shall (a) reassess the identification and measurement of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities and the measurement of the cost of the combination; and (b) recognize immediately in profit or loss any excess remaining after that reassessment. When a business combination involves more than one exchange transaction, each exchange transaction shall be treated separately using the cost of the transaction and fair value information at the date of each exchange transaction to determine the amount of any goodwill associated with that transaction. This results in a step-by-step comparison of the cost of the individual investments with the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at each exchange transaction. The fair values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities may be different at the date of each exchange transaction. Any adjustments to those fair values relating to previously held interests of the Group is a revaluation to be accounted for as such and presented separately as part of equity. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share in the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is recognized separately as a noncurrent asset. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates and is tested annually for impairment as part of the overall balance. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as that of the Company using uniform accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. However, intra-group losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of the assets transferred. Cash Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. - 53 - Financial Instruments Date of recognition The Group recognizes financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognized on the settlement date. Initial recognition and classification of financial instruments Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, which is the fair value of the consideration given (in case of an asset) or received (in case of a liability). The initial measurement of financial instruments, except for those financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), includes transaction costs. On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments and AFS financial assets. The Group also classifies its financial liabilities into FVPL and other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments are acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at the end of each reporting period. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax benefits. The Group has no financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL and HTM investments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Determination of fair value The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the end of reporting period. For investments and all other financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using generally acceptable valuation techniques. Such techniques include using arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which are substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation models. Day 1 difference Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value based on other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 difference) in the consolidated statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where use is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the Day 1 difference amount. - 54 - Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. These financial assets are included in current assets if maturity is within 12 months from the end of reporting period. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, included under loans and receivables are the Group’s cash, trade receivables, due from related parties, advances to suppliers and other receivables (see Note 25). AFS financial assets AFS financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this category or are not classified in any of the three other categories. The Group designates financial instruments as AFS if they are purchased and held indefinitely and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses being recognized in other comprehensive income as “Changes in fair value of AFS financial assets”, net of deferred income tax effect. When fair value cannot be reliably measured, AFS financial assets are measured at cost less any impairment in value. When the investment is disposed of or determined to be impaired, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Interest earned on the investments is reported as interest income using the effective interest method. Dividends earned on investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as “Dividend income” when the right of payment has been established. These financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless the intention is to dispose of such assets within 12 months from the end of reporting period. The Group’s AFS financial assets include equity securities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (see Note 25). Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, included in other financial liabilities are the Group’s trade accounts payable, payables to related parties, non-trade accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, bank loans and bonds payable (see Note 25). Offsetting of Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. - 55 - Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: • • • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability was discharged, cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the contracted parties or a group of contracted parties is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return of a similar financial asset. - 56 - Loans and receivables The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in the group of financial assets with similar credit risk and characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as a difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, and the increase or decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance for impairment losses account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Other income” account. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at reversal date. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if any, has been realized or has been transferred to the Group. AFS financial assets For AFS financial assets, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in fair value of the investments below its cost. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgment. The Group treats “significant” generally as 20% or more and “prolonged” as greater than 12 months for quoted equity securities. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income. In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of - 57 - “Interest income” in the consolidated statement of income. If, in subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: Finished goods and work in process - direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs; determined using the moving average method Raw materials and supplies - purchase cost using the moving average method NRV of finished goods is the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of marketing and distribution. For raw materials, NRV is current replacement cost. In case of supplies, NRV is the estimated realizable value of the supplies when disposed of at their condition at the end of reporting period. Prepayments Prepayments are expenses paid in advance and recorded as asset before they are utilized. This account comprises prepaid importation charges and excise tax, prepaid rentals and insurance premiums and other prepaid items, and creditable withholding tax. Prepaid rentals and insurance premiums and other prepaid items are apportioned over the period covered by the payment and charged to the appropriate accounts in the consolidated statement of income when incurred. Prepaid importation charges are applied to respective asset accounts, i.e., inventories and equipment, as part of their direct cost once importation is complete. Prepaid excise taxes are applied to inventory as part of its cost once related raw material item is consumed in the production. Creditable withholding tax is deducted from income tax payable on the same year the revenue was recognized. Prepayments that are expected to be realized for no more than 12 months after the reporting period are classified as current asset, otherwise, these are classified as other noncurrent asset. Investment in Shares of Stock The Company’s investment in the shares of stock of Domecq Asia Brands, Inc. (DABI), a joint venture with Allied Domecq Philippines, Inc. (ADPI) where it holds a 50% interest, is accounted at cost less any accumulated impairment in value. The Group determines at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in shares of stock is impaired. If this is the case, the amount of impairment is calculated as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investment in shares of stock, and its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, other than land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value. - 58 - The initial cost of property, plant and equipment consists of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use and any estimated cost of dismantling and removing the property, plant and equipment item and restoring the site on which it is located to the extent that the Group had recognized the obligation of that cost. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in consolidated statement of income as incurred. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction of a qualifying asset is likewise included in the initial cost of property, plant and equipment. Land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment are stated at revalued amounts based on a valuation performed by independent appraisers. Revaluation is made every three to five years such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of reporting period. For subsequent revaluations, the accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals the revalued amount. Any resulting increase in the asset’s carrying amount as a result of the revaluation is credited directly to “Revaluation increment on property, plant and equipment”, net of deferred income tax effect. Any resulting decrease is directly charged against any related revaluation increment to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount of the revaluation increment in respect of the same asset. Construction in progress are properties in the course of construction for production or administrative purposes, which are carried at cost less any recognized impairment loss. This includes cost of construction and equipment, and other direct costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are completed and put into operational use. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Land improvements Buildings and building improvements Machinery and equipment Furniture, fixtures and office equipment Transportation equipment Warehouse, laboratory and other equipment Number of Years 5 to 15 10 to 30 5 to 20 5 to 20 5 4 to 10 Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases or the useful life of 10 years, whichever is shorter. The estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the periods and method of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. - 59 - Depreciation or amortization of an item of property, plant and equipment begins when it becomes available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation or amortization ceases at the earlier of the date that the item is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with PFRS 5 and the date the item is derecognized. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the asset is available for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Borrowing costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds, as well as exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to finance these projects, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Investment Properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the end of reporting period. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the year in which they arise. Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the year of retirement or disposal. Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use. Impairment of Noncurrent Non-financial Assets The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is indication that property, plant and equipment and other noncurrent assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for such items is required, the Group makes an estimate of their recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, and is determined for an individual item, unless such item does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets or CGUs. When the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, such item is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows to be generated by such items are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money - 60 - and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at least on at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated and a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimate in the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If so, the carrying amount of the item is increased to its new recoverable amount which cannot exceed the impairment loss recognized in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income unless the asset or CGU is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount less any residual value on a systematic basis over its remaining estimated useful life. Revenue Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods, shown as “Net sales”, is recognized when goods are delivered to and accepted by the customers. Net sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, returns and value-added tax (VAT). Interest income Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. Costs and Expenses Cost and expenses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably. Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold is recognized as expense when the related goods are sold. Selling and general and administrative expenses Selling expenses are costs incurred to sell or distribute merchandise, it includes advertising and promotions and freight and handling, among others. General and administrative expenses constitute costs of administering the business. The selling and general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred. Retirement Benefits Cost Retirement benefits cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for the Group’s retirement plan at the end of the previous - 61 - reporting year exceed 10% of the higher of the defined benefits obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period that the benefits become vested. If the benefits are vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, the retirement plan, past service cost is recognized immediately. The defined benefit liability is either the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefits obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized, reduced by past service cost not yet recognized, and the fair value of plan assets from which the obligations are to be settled, or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plan. If the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan, net actuarial losses of the current period and the past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of these economic benefits. If there is no change or there is an increase in the present value of economic benefits, the entire net actuarial losses of the current period and the past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of these economic benefits. Similarly, net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period exceeding any increase in the asset is measured with the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost at the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If there is no change or there is a decrease in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of retirement benefits are recognized in consolidated statement of income when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on a curtailment or settlement consists of the resulting change in the present value of the defined benefits obligation and any related actuarial gains and losses, and past service cost that had not been previously recognized. Operating Leases Operating leases represent those leases under which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Lease receipts (payments) under operating lease agreements are recognized as income (expense) on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Foreign Currency-denominated Transactions and Translations Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded using the applicable exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated using the applicable rate of exchange at the end of reporting period. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. - 62 - Taxes Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period. Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is recognized on all temporary differences at the end of reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax (RCIT) and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess of MCIT over RCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax, however, is not recognized when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures. With respect to investments in other subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax liabilities are recognized except when the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax assets to be recovered. It is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which a deductible temporary difference can be utilized when there are sufficient taxable temporary difference relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity which are expected to reverse in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference. In such circumstances, the deferred income tax asset is recognized in the period in which the deductible temporary difference arises. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the current income tax assets against the current income tax liabilities and deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. - 63 - VAT Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognized net of the amount of VAT, except where the VAT incurred on the purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the VAT is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of “Prepayments and other current assets” or “Output VAT and other taxes payable”, included under “Accounts payable and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet. Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. When the Group expects a provision or loss to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain and its amount is estimable. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income, net of any reimbursement. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements. If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Deposits for Future Certified Emission Reduction (CER) Deposits for future CER is recognized as a liability at fair value upon receipt and is derecognized upon generation and transfer of the CER to a third party. CER means a unit of greenhouse gas reductions that has been generated and certified under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol (see Note 30). Capital Stock Capital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. When the Company issues more than one class of stock, a separate account is maintained for each class of stock and the number of shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax. When any member of the Group purchases the Company’s capital stock (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, and the related tax effects is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. - 64 - Additional Paid-in Capital Additional paid in capital represents the portion of the paid in capital in excess over the par or stated value. Retained Earnings Retained earnings represent the cumulative balance of net income or loss, dividend distributions, prior period adjustments, effects of the changes in accounting policy and other capital adjustments. Earnings per Share (EPS) Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, excluding capital stock purchased by the Company and treated as treasury shares after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends declared and stock rights exercised during the year, if any. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company (after deducting interest on convertible preferred shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The Group does not have diluted potential common shares as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Dividend Distribution Cash dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when approved by the respective BOD of the Company. Stock dividends are treated as transfers from retained earnings to capital stock. Dividends for the year that are approved after the end of reporting period are dealt with as a non-adjusting event after the end of reporting period. Related Party Relationships and Transactions Related party relationship exists when the party has the ability to control, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Such relationships also exist between and/or among entities which are under common control with the reporting entity and its key management personnel, directors or stockholders. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationships, and not merely to the legal form. Events after the End of Reporting Period Events after the end of reporting period that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the end of reporting period (adjusting event) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events after the end of reporting period that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the consolidated financial statements. Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Group will adopt the following new PFRS and Philippine interpretations and amendments to existing standards that will be effective subsequent to December 31, 2010. Except as otherwise indicated, the Group does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine interpretations to have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Effective in 2011 • Amended PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures, clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its - 65 - application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government related entities. Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire standard. • Amendment to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues, amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s nonderivative equity instruments, and to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. • Amendment to Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement, provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments, clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Improvements to PFRS The FRSC approved in its meeting in July 2010 the adoption of Improvements to IFRS issued by the IASB in May 2010. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard which are all effective beginning January 1, 2011. • PFRS 3, Business Combinations, is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010. Amendments to this standard pertain to (a) transition requirements for contingent consideration from a business combination that occurred before the effective date of revised PFRS and is applied retrospectively, (b) measurement of non-controlling interest, which is applied prospectively from the date the entity applies Revised PFRS 3, and (c) un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards, which is applied prospectively. • PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, emphasizes the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments. The amendment is applied retrospectively. • PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The amendment is applied retrospectively. • PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, clarifies that the consequential amendments from PAS 27 made to PAS 21, The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, PAS 28, Investments in Associates, and PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 or earlier when PAS 27 is applied earlier. The amendment is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 and is applied retrospectively. - 66 - • PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in PAS 34 and add disclosure requirements around (a) the circumstances likely to affect fair values of financial instruments and their classification, (b) transfers of financial instruments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy, (c) changes in classification of financial assets, and (d) changes in contingent liabilities and assets. The amendment is applied retrospectively. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken into account. The amendment is applied retrospectively. Effective in 2012 • Amendments to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosure - Transfers of Financial Assets, will allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of transfer transactions of financial assets (e.g., securitizations), including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may remain with the entity that transferred the assets. The amendments also require additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of reporting period. • Amendment to PAS 12, Income Taxes - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets, provides a practical solution to the problem of assessing whether recovery of an asset will be through use or sale. It introduces a presumption that recovery of the carrying amount of an asset will normally be through sale. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for Construction of Real Estate, covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. This 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. Effective in 2013 • PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, as issued in 2010, reflects the first phase of the work on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in PAS 39. In subsequent phases, hedge accounting and derecognition will be addressed. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture. The Group continues to assess the impact of the above new and amended accounting standards and interpretations effective subsequent to 2010 on the Group’s consolidated financial statements prior to and in the period of initial application. Additional disclosures required by these standards and interpretations will be included in the consolidated financial statements when these standards and interpretations are adopted. - 67 - 3. Management’s Use of Significant Judgments, Accounting Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to exercise judgments, make accounting estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the assumptions used in arriving at the accounting estimates to change. The effects of any change in accounting estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as they become reasonably determinable. Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effects on amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements: Classification of financial instruments The Group exercises judgment in classifying financial instruments in accordance with PAS 39. The Group classifies a financial instrument, or its components, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather than its legal form, governs its classification in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets. Classifications of financial instruments are further discussed in Note 25. Determination of type of lease - operating lease The Group has various lease agreements in respect of certain properties. The Group evaluates whether significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased properties are transferred (finance lease) or retained by the lessor (operating lease) based on PAS 17, which requires the Group to make judgments and estimates of transfer of risk and rewards of ownership of the leased properties. The leases are, therefore, accounted for as operating leases (see Note 27). Total lease expense arising from operating leases amounted to P =58.0 million, P =41.5 million and P41.4 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see Note 20). = Estimates and Assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainties at the end of reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: Measurement of NRV of inventories The Group’s estimates of the NRV of inventories are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made, of the amount that the inventories are expected to be realized. These estimates consider the fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events occurring after the end of the period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the period. A new assessment is made of NRV in each subsequent period. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is a clear evidence of an increase in NRV because of change in economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed so that the new carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised NRV. - 68 - The Group’s inventories as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounting to P =4,060.9 million and P3,181.5 million, respectively, are carried at cost, except for some materials and supplies which = are carried at NRV amounting to P =211.2 million and P =317.0 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Provision for inventory obsolescence amounted to P =3.2 million, P =0.4 million and P =1.1 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see Note 8). Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses on a regular basis if there is objective evidence of impairment of loans and receivables. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The determination of impairment requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows based on certain assumptions as well as to use judgment in selecting an appropriate rate in discounting. The Group uses specific impairment on its loans and receivables. The Group did not assess its loans and receivables for collective impairment due to the few counterparties which can be specifically identified. The amount of loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income with a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of the loans and receivables through an allowance account. Total carrying value of loans and receivables amounted to P =2,693.5 million and P =2,187.1 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In 2009, accounts amounting to P =7.0 million specifically identified as doubtful of collection were provided with an impairment allowance (see Notes 7 and 25). Impairment of AFS financial assets The computation for the impairment of AFS financial assets requires an estimation of the present value of the expected future cash flows and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. An impairment issue arises when there is an objective evidence of impairment, which involves significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates the financial health of the issuer, among others. In the case of AFS equity instruments, the Group expands its analysis to consider changes in the issuer’s industry and sector performance, legal and regulatory framework, changes in technology, and other factors that affect the recoverability of the Group’s investments. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate carrying value of the Group’s AFS financial assets amounted to P =27.0 million and P =21.0 million, respectively. Impairment loss of =60.0 million has been recognized in the 2008 consolidated statement of income (see Notes 10 P and 25). Impairment of noncurrent non-financial assets The Group assesses, at the end of each reporting period, whether there are indications of impairment on its property, plant and equipment and other noncurrent assets. If such indication exists, impairment testing is performed except for goodwill which is tested on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the CGUs to which the assets belong. Estimating value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In 2009, management assessed that there is an impairment indicator on the property, plant and equipment of AAC due to the shutdown of AAC’s plant in Pulupandan, Negros Occidental. Thus, management performed an impairment test and recognized impairment loss on property, plant and equipment amounting to P =50.6 million in the 2009 consolidated statement of income. In 2010, AAC’s plant has not yet resumed operations indicating that there is still an indicator of impairment. Thus, management performed an impairment test. Based on this test, using the value in use of AAC, no further impairment loss needs to be recognized in 2010. - 69 - The aggregate carrying values of property, plant and equipment and other noncurrent assets, after recognition of impairment, amounted to P =4,617.0 million and P =4,819.1 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively (see Notes 11 and 13). Impairment of goodwill The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired on an annual basis every December 31, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating value in use requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying amount of goodwill, for which no impairment was recognized, amounted to P =144.7 million (see Note 4). Valuation of property, plant and equipment under revaluation basis The Group’s land and land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment are carried at revalued amounts, which approximate their fair values at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The valuations of property, plant and equipment are performed by independent appraisers. Revaluations are made every three to five years to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from those which would be determined using fair values at the end of reporting period. In 2010 and 2009, the Group’s property, plant and equipment was appraised by an independent appraiser which resulted to revaluation increment amounting to P =5.6 million and P =12.0 million, respectively, presented as “Revaluation increment on property, plant and equipment”, net of deferred income tax effect in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Property, plant and equipment at appraised values amounted to P =3,699.3 million and P =3,806.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively (see Note 11). Valuation of investment properties The Group’s investment properties are carried at fair value, with changes in fair values recorded in the consolidated statement of income in the year in which the fair value changes arise. The Group opted to rely on independent appraisers in determining the fair values of investment properties, and such fair values were determined based on recent prices of similar properties, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of those transactions. The amounts and timing of recorded changes in fair value for any period would differ if we made different judgments and estimates or utilized a different basis for determining fair value. Annual appraisal of investment properties is performed every December 31. Total carrying value of investment properties as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to P188.9 million and P = =168.1 million, respectively (see Note 12). Estimation of useful lives of property, plant and equipment The Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical and commercial obsolescence and other limits on the use of the assets. - 70 - In 2010, AAC reassessed and changed the estimated useful lives of buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment which resulted to additional depreciation expense amounting to P =100.4 million (see Notes 5 and 20). The total carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to P =4,575.4 million and P =4,783.9 million, respectively (see Note 11). The estimated useful lives of the Group’s property, plant and equipment are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Recognition of deferred income tax assets The Group reviews the carrying amounts at end of each reporting period and adjusts the balance of deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. The Group’s assessment on the recognition of deferred income tax assets on deductible temporary differences is based on the level and timing of forecasted taxable income of the subsequent reporting periods. This forecast is based on the Group’s past results and future expectations on revenues and expenses as well as future tax planning strategies. However, there is no assurance that the Group will generate sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of our deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets amounted to =197.1 million and P P =58.0 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On the other hand, deferred income tax assets on deductible temporary differences, MCIT and NOLCO amounting to P =30.3 million and P =91.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were not recognized based on the assessment that future taxable profits will not be available to allow the deferred income tax assets to be utilized (see Note 22). Estimation of retirement benefits cost and liability The Group’s retirement benefits cost and liability are actuarially computed. This entails using certain assumptions with respect to future annual increase in salary, expected annual rate of return on plan assets and discount rate per annum. Net retirement plan assets of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to =21.8 million and P P =35.7 million, respectively. On the other hand, net retirement benefits liabilities of the subsidiaries amounted to P =27.6 million and P =34.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Retirement benefits costs in 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to P =18.7 million, =31.1 million and P P =8.0 million, respectively (see Note 19). Provisions and contingencies The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with the legal counsel handling the defense in these matters and is based upon our analysis of potential results. The Group currently does not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. It is possible, however, that future financial performance could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings and assessments. No provisions have been recorded as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (see Note 29). - 71 - 4. Goodwill and Transactions with Non-controlling Interests Goodwill As at December 31, 2010, the Group performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill related to ADI, a CGU and also a reportable operating segment. The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. The key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount of ADI based on value in use calculations are as follows: Projected cash flows Cash flow projections were based from financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the increase in demand for products based on the Company’s projected sales volume increase, selling price increase and cost and expenses increase as detailed below: • Sales volume (in number of liters). Management based the sales volume on the sales forecast of the Company. The increase in sales volume is based on the assumption that the Company will source 30% of its alcohol requirements from ADI. • Selling price, exclusive of tax. Management expects a 5% annual increase in selling price or an average of P =3.0 per liter, based on history of selling price increases. In February 2010, ADI increased its selling price by P =10.0 per liter. • Manufacturing expenses, including fuel and other expenses. Management expects a 40% decrease in fuel per year, as a result of the savings on fuel cost from operation of the CDM project in 2009 (see Note 30). • Operating expenses. Management expects a 3% annual increase in operating expenses. Budgeted capital expenditure The cash flow forecast for capital expenditure are based on past experience and includes the ongoing capital expenditure required to repair and improve distilling columns, to improve quality and production efficiency and to meet the volume requirements of the Company. Capital expenditure expected to be spent amounted to P =380.0 million over the five-year period starting 2011. Management also expects to spend P =10.0 million annually for repairs and maintenance requirements. 5% long-term growth rate For businesses where five years of management plan data is used for the Group’s value in use calculations, a long-term growth rate into perpetuity has been determined based on the projected industry growth for 2011. 16.14% pretax risk adjusted discount rate The discount rate applied to the cash flows of ADI’s operations is based on the risk-free rate for five-year bonds issued by the government in the respective market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect both the increased risk of investing in equities and the systematic risk of the specific Group operating company. In making this adjustment, inputs required are the equity market risk premium (that is the required increased return over and above a risk-free rate by an investor who is investing in the market as a whole) and the risk adjustment, beta, applied to reflect the risk of the specific Group operating company relative to the market as a whole. (Forward) - 72 - In determining the risk-adjusted discount rate, management has applied an adjustment for the systematic risk to ADI’s operations determined using an average of the betas of comparable listed distillery companies across Asia. Management has used market risk premium that takes into consideration studies by independent economists. Management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of ADI to exceed its recoverable amount, which is based on value in use. Transactions with Non-controlling Interests In December 2006, the Company converted certain advances to AAC and ADI, amounting to =200.0 million and P P =185.0 million, respectively, to additional investments in the shares of stock of the subsidiaries. Accordingly, AAC and ADI reclassified the advances from the Company for the same amounts to deposits for stock subscription. In 2007, AAC and ADI have undertaken equity restructuring. Deposits for stock subscription aggregating to P =385.0 million were converted to capital stock of AAC and ADI, thereby, resulting in increase in ownership by the Company over AAC and ADI. The following details the changes in the percentages of ownership in these subsidiaries: AAC ADI Before equity restructuring 90% 90% After equity restructuring 93% 96% On October 26, 2007 and January 10, 2008, the SEC approved the equity restructuring and increase in authorized capital stock of ADI and AAC, respectively. On April 24, 2008, ADI’s BOD approved a resolution authorizing the conversion to equity of the existing advances of the Company amounting to P =100.0 million. The conversion was credited to additional paid-in capital, and therefore, did not increase the Company’s ownership interest. On March 17, 2008, the Company purchased additional shares of stock of AAC amounting to P150.0 million which increased the Company’s ownership interest from 93% to 95%. = As a result of these transactions with non-controlling interests, equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company increased by P =52.2 million which is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in equity as “Effect of transactions with non-controlling interests.” 5. Operating Segments Information Operating segments are components of the Group; (a) that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group); (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. The Group’s CODM is THI’s BOD. - 73 - For purposes of management reporting, the Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately on a per company basis, with each company representing a strategic business segment. The businesses were acquired as individual units, and their respective management teams at the time of the acquisition were retained. The Company’s identified operating segments, which are consistent with the segments reported to the CODM, are as follows: a. The Company, which produces distilled spirits with rhum being its main product and has four liquor bottling plants located in Quiapo, Manila; Cabuyao, Laguna; Murcia, Negros Occidental; and El Salvador, Misamis Oriental; b. ADI, which produces fine quality ethyl alcohol from its distillery in Lian, Batangas; and, c. AAC, which produces fine quality ethyl alcohol and aged alcohol from its distillery in Pulupandan, Negros Occidental. THI’s BOD regularly reviews the operating results of the business units to make decisions on resource allocation and assess performance. Segment revenue and segment expenses are measured in accordance with PFRS. The presentation and classification of segment revenues and segment expenses are consistent with the consolidated statement of income. Financing costs (including interest expense) and income taxes are managed on a per company basis and are not allocated to operating segments. Further, the measurement of the segments assets are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting and financial reporting policies, except for ADI’s property, plant and equipment and investment properties which are measured at cost. Land and land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment of the Company and AAC are stated at fair value based on a valuation performed by independent appraisers, while that of ADI is stated using the cost basis in their separate financial statements. ADI’s land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment is adjusted at the consolidated level to reflect their revalued amounts. The Company’s and AAC’s investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the end of reporting period, while ADI’s investment property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value in its separate financial statements. ADI’s investment property is adjusted at the consolidated level to reflect their fair values. The Group has only one geographical segment as all of its assets are located in the Philippines. The Group operates and derives principally all of its revenue from domestic operations. Thus, geographical business information is not required. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable those economic benefits will flow to the Group and that the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales taxes or duties. Substantially, all of the segment revenue of AAC and ADI are derived from the Company, while an average of 97%, from 2008 to 2010, of the Company’s segment revenue is derived from four major distributors. Sales from each four major distributors averaged 47%, 44%, 7% and 2%, respectively, of the total sales of the Company. Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Segment revenue includes transfers between operating segments. Such transfers are eliminated in the consolidation. - 74 - Segment expenses are those directly attributable to the segment and the relevant portion of an expense that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to the segment, including expenses such as cost of goods sold, selling and general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses that arise at the entity level and relate to the entity as a whole are not included.

The cost of this investment amounted to P =11.5 million. d. In 2008, the Group had investments in debt securities which consist of United States dollar (US$)-denominated government bonds that are carried at fair value (after recognizing in the consolidated statement of income the effective interest amortization and foreign exchange restatement) with net cumulative loss amounting to P =87.9 million as of December 31, 2008 recognized as a separate component of equity. The fair values of these securities are based on their quoted prices that are readily and regularly available from the investment trustee. Those prices are indicative of actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. e. In 2008, management assessed that there was impairment in the value of the Group’s investment in debt securities (Ecuador bonds), and accordingly transferred the cumulative decline in value recorded in other comprehensive income amounting to P =60.0 million to the 2008 consolidated statement of income. On May 29, 2009, the Group’s investment in Ecuador bonds was sold for a price equivalent to =33.1 million (US$0.7 million), inclusive of the interest receivable amounting to P P =6.7 million (US$0.1 million). Total gain recognized amounted to P =2.9 million, which also represent the changes in fair value up to the date of sale that was transferred from other comprehensive income to the consolidated statement of income. On November 11, 2009, the Group’s remaining investment in debt securities (Venezuela bonds) were sold for a price equivalent to their face amount of P =149.5 million (US$3.2 million). Total consideration received amounted to P =154.8 million (US$3.3 million) - 79 - which includes interest receivable equivalent to P =3.4 million (US$0.1 million). Total loss recognized from the sale amounted to P =7.1 million, which also represent the changes in fair value up to the date of sale that was transferred from other comprehensive income to the consolidated statement of income. Interest earned from these investments amounted to P =8.7 million and P =22.1 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The total cost of these investments in debt securities amounted to P =286.0 million.

Interest expense from short-term borrowings of AAC, incurred specifically to finance the construction of a qualifying asset, was capitalized to property, plant and equipment amounting to P =15.0 million in 2009 (see Note 15). The capitalization rate used was 7.46%. b. ADI completed the construction of the wastewater treatment digester and methane gas collector under the CDM Project in August 2009 (see Note 30). c. AAC started expanding its facilities by acquiring parcels of land and started construction of its facilities in 2008. In 2009, plant expansion continued in order to produce extra neutral potable alcohol. However, in June 2009, the Group recognized impairment loss of = P50.6 million as a result of the shutdown of AAC’s operation (see Note 29). In 2010, management performed impairment testing on AAC’s property, plant and equipment due to the continued shutdown of its plant and determined that no further impairment loss was necessary. The recoverable amount of AAC as an operating segment has been determined based on a value in use calculation. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial forecast approved by management covering a five-year period, and a pre-tax discount rate of 15.09% and 17.69% in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash flows forecasts are extrapolated after the five-year period at a steady growth rate of 5.0% and 4.5% in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. d. In 2010 and 2009, AAC revalued its land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements and machinery and equipment based on a valuation made by independent appraisers. The revaluation resulted in revaluation increment of = P5.6 million and =12.0 million, net of deferred income tax liability of = P P2.4 million and P =5.1 million, respectively. The fair value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was determined based on market values as of that date, which were arrived at using the Market Data Approach for land using the gathered available market evidences and Depreciated Replacement Cost for buildings, land improvements and machinery and equipment which have no available market evidences. e. If land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and machinery and equipment were carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, the amounts would be as follows: December 31, 2010: Cost Accumulated Depreciation and Impairment Net Book Value Land P =247,149,987 – P =247,149,987 Land Improvements, Buildings and Building Improvements P =1,350,138,154 (720,597,490) P =629,540,664 82 Machinery and Equipment P =3,530,707,438 Total P =5,127,995,579 (1,992,643,418) P =1,538,064,020 (2,713,240,908) P =2,414,754,671 December 31, 2009: Cost Accumulated Depreciation and Impairment Net Book Value f.

The condominium units are being leased out to third parties. Rent income derived from the rental of condominium units amounted to = P3.2 million, = P3.9 million and =4.3 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Expenses paid for the land and condominium P units that are being leased out amounted to = P21,741 in 2010, 2009 and 2008. In 2008, AAC sold a parcel of land and the building therein for = P14.0 million resulting to a loss on sale amounting to P =0.8 million. Fair values as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were determined by an independent firm of appraisers based on market values, which were arrived at using the Market Data Approach. 13. Other Noncurrent Assets 2010 P =23,667,124 17,849,759 P =41,516,883 Investment in shares of stock of DABI Others 2009 = P23,667,124 11,541,127 = P35,208,251 a. On February 26, 2003, the BOD of DABI approved a resolution to cease DABI’s business operations effective March 1, 2003. Consequently, DABI’s Guerrero brand was transferred to the Company while Don Pedro brand was transferred to ADPI. The Company now has full ownership and control over the marketing, sales, and distribution of the Guerrero brand. 83 Pursuant to the Termination of Joint Venture Agreement signed by the Company and ADPI on September 15, 2003, the parties terminated the Joint Venture Agreement effective March 1, 2003. DABI shall be dissolved and liquidated, and the parties agree to take all corporate actions necessary to dissolve DABI, wind up its affairs and distribute its assets in an orderly fashion. The parties have yet to decide on the date of liquidation. The liability to DABI amounting to P =20.0 million is only with recourse to the Company’s investment in the shares of DABI (see Note 18). Investment in shares of stock of DABI is net of impairment losses amounting to P =1.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. b. AAC’s nonperforming loans, which were previously assigned by Allied Bank Corporation (ABC) as settlement of AAC’s investment, amounting to = P20.2 million, represent impaired receivables with parcels of land held as collaterals. The parcels of land were subject to court case in previous years. On January 19, 2009, a judgment was entered in light of the agreement between the parties to the case ordering the third party to pay just compensation of P =1,500 per square meters (sqm) for parcels of land with total land lot area of 17,454.25 sqm. A receivable from the third party amounting to = P26.2 million resulting from the judgment is included as nontrade receivables which is presented under “Other receivables” as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (see Note 7).

It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The Group does not actively enter into hedging transactions. Risk Management Strategies The Group’s financial risk management strategies are handled on a group-wide basis, side by side with those of the other related companies within the Group. The Group’s management and the BODs of the various companies comprising the Group review and approve policies for managing these risks. Management closely monitors the funds and financial transactions of the Group. Funds are normally deposited with local banks belonging to the LTGC, and financial transactions are normally dealt with companies belonging to the LTGC. Financial Risk Management Policy The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, credit and concentration risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. These policies are summarized as follows: Foreign currency risk The Group’s foreign currency risk relates to its US$-denominated cash in banks. Management closely monitors the fluctuations in exchange rates so as to anticipate the impact of foreign currency risks associated with the financial instruments. The Group currently does not enter into derivative transactions to hedge its currency exposure. The Group’s significant US$-denominated financial assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 pertain to cash in banks which amounted to $175,748 and $121,095, respectively. The Group recognized foreign exchange loss of = P0.3 million and = P0.6 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively and foreign exchange gain of = P55.9 million in 2008 arising from the translation and settlement of these US$-denominated financial assets. The exchange rates of the Peso to US$ as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 used in translating US$-denominated financial assets are =43.84, P P =46.20 and P =47.52, respectively. Shown below is the impact on the Group’s income before income tax of reasonably possible changes in exchange rate of the US$ against the Peso. December 31, 2009 Change in Foreign Effect on Income Exchange Rate Before Income Tax +2.00% Increase by = P111,892 -2.00% Decrease by = P111,892 December 31, 2010 Change in Foreign Effect on Income Exchange Rate Before Income Tax +5.00% Increase by P =385,240 -5.00% Decrease by P =385,240 There is no other impact on the Group’s equity other than those already affecting the profit or loss. 98 The reasonable movement in exchange rates for 2010 was determined using a one-year historical data. Credit and concentration risk The Group’s credit risk encompasses issuer risk on receivables, equity securities and on cash in banks. The Group manages its credit risk by transacting with counterparties of good financial condition and selecting investment grade securities. The Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Group limits bulk of its alcoholic beverage sales to four trusted parties with sales to them comprising about 97% of total alcoholic beverage sales each year. Management closely monitors the fund and financial condition of the Group. Funds are normally deposited with affiliated banks, and financial transactions are normally dealt with related parties. These strategies, to an extent, mitigate the Group’s counterparty risk. The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to credit risk for the components of the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31.

The Group did not regard any financial asset as “high grade” in view of the erratic cash flows or uncertainty associated with the financial instruments. “Past due but not impaired” are items with history of frequent default, nevertheless, the amount due are still collectible. Lastly, “Impaired financial assets” are those that are long-outstanding and has been provided with allowance for doubtful accounts. The following tables show the credit quality of financial assets and an aging analysis of past due but not impaired accounts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009: December 31, 2010: Neither past due nor impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade Loans and receivables: Cash in banks Trade receivables Due from related parties Advances to suppliers Other receivables P = 825,047,366 708,752,544 13,000,911 18,056,715 419,869 1,565,277,405 P =– – – 1,258,865 177,910 1,436,775 31 to 60 days Past due but not impaired 61 to 91 to 90 days 120 days P =– P =– 389,036,814 246,786,595 11,478,877 9,209,840 517,681 1,129,056 113,757 1,468,247 401,147,129 258,593,738 (Forward) 99 Impaired Financial Assets Total P =– P =– P =– 29,829,166 182,051,350 5,097,677 10,317,569 158,861,493 – 6,134,029 15,592,448 25,691,505 777,774 63,480,196 5,513,839 47,058,538 419,985,487 36,303,021 P =825,047,366 1,561,554,146 202,868,690 68,380,299 71,951,592 2,729,802,093 Over 120 Days Neither past due nor impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade AFS financial assets: Quoted equity shares Unquoted equity shares P = 26,500,000 460,269 26,960,269 P = 1,592,237,674 31 to 60 days Past due but not impaired 61 to 91 to 90 days 120 days Over 120 Days Impaired Financial Assets Total P =– P =– P =– P =– P =– P =– P =26,500,000 – – – – – – 460,269 – – – – – – 26,960,269 P = 1,436,775 P =401,147,129 P =258,593,738 P =47,058,538 P =419,985,487 P =36,303,021 P =2,756,762,362 December 31, 2009: Neither past due nor impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade Loans and receivables: Cash in banks Trade receivables Due from related parties Advances to suppliers Other receivables AFS financial assets: Quoted equity shares Unquoted equity shares =492,692,149 P 1,015,765,996 12,062,971 8,087,697 29,665,195 1,558,274,008 20,500,000 460,269 20,960,269 =1,579,234,277 P 31 to 60 days =– P – 273,033,921 – 13,286,879 – 10,385,614 32,843 5,414,879 32,843 302,121,293 Past due but not impaired 91 to 61 to 90 days 120 days =– P 35,154,775 10,247,610 609,195 1,155,473 47,167,053 – – – – – – – – – =32,843 P P =302,121,293 P =47,167,053 Impaired Financial Assets Total =– P =– P =– P 2,051,718 84,640,964 5,097,677 5,001,037 134,585,140 – 120,173 16,652,491 25,691,505 7,488,828 29,002,257 5,513,839 14,661,756 264,880,852 36,303,021 =492,692,149 P 1,415,745,051 175,183,637 61,546,675 78,273,314 2,223,440,826 Over 120 Days – – – 20,500,000 – – – 460,269 – – – 20,960,269 =14,661,756 P P =264,880,852 P =36,303,021 P =2,244,401,095 Impairment assessment The main consideration for impairment assessment includes whether there are known difficulties in the cash flow of the counterparties. The Group assesses impairment in two ways: individually and collectively. First, the Group determines allowance for each significant receivable on an individual basis. Among the items that the Group considers in assessing impairment is the inability to collect from the counterparty based on the contractual terms of the receivables. Receivables included in the specific assessment are the accounts that have been endorsed to the legal department, non-moving accounts receivable and other accounts of defaulted counterparties. For collective assessment, allowances are assessed for receivables that are not individually significant and for individually significant receivables where there is not yet objective evidence of individual impairment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the age of the receivables, past collection experience and other factors that may affect their collectability. The Group recognized impairment loss on its financial assets amounting to = P7.0 million for receivables in 2009 and P =60.0 million for AFS financial assets in 2008. No impairment loss was recognized in 2010. Liquidity risk The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and sourcing flexibility through the use of available financial instruments. The Group manages its liquidity profile to meet its working and capital expenditure requirements and service debt obligations. As part of the liquidity risk management program, the Group regularly evaluates and considers the maturity of both its financial investments and financial assets (e.g., trade receivables, other financial assets) and resorts to short-term borrowings whenever its available cash or matured placements is not enough to meet its daily working capital requirements. To ensure availability of short-term borrowings, the Group maintains credit lines with banks on a continuing basis. 100 The Group relies on budgeting and forecasting techniques to monitor cash flow concerns. The Group also keeps its liquidity risk minimum by prepaying, to the extent possible, interest-bearing debt using operating cash flows. In 2010 and 2009, the Group prepaid syndicated loan amounting to P =4,165.0 million and short-term debt amounting to = P500.0 million (see Note 15), respectively. The following tables show the maturity profile of the Group’s other financial liabilities (undiscounted amounts of principal and related interest) as well as financial assets used for liquidity management: December 31, 2010: Cash Receivables Accounts payable: Trade Related parties Non-trade Accrued and other liabilities Bonds payable Less than 1 to less than 2 to less than 3 to less than one year 2 years 3 years 4 years P = 826,234,366 P =– P =– P =– – – 1,868,451,706 – P =2,694,686,072 P =– P =– P =– P = 706,953,735 459,013,863 133,992,161 P =– – – P =– – – P =– – – 4 to less than 5 years Total P =– P =826,234,366 – 1,868,451,706 P =– P =2,694,686,072 P =– – – P =706,953,735 459,013,863 133,992,161 99,194,149 – – 99,194,149 – – 402,750,000 402,750,000 402,750,000 402,750,000 5,048,106,250 6,659,106,250 P =1,801,903,908 P =402,750,000 P =402,750,000 P =402,750,000 P =5,048,106,250 P =8,058,260,158 December 31, 2009: Cash Receivables Accounts payable: Trade Related parties Non-trade Accrued and other liabilities Bank loans Less than one year =493,919,149 P 1,694,445,656 =2,188,364,805 P 1 to less than 2 to less 3 to less than 4 2 years than 3 years years =– P =– P =– P – – – =– P =– P =– P =455,749,406 P 244,710,045 164,938,521 =– P – – 176,161,152 1,123,272,305 =2,164,831,429 P – 4,562,304,645 =4,562,304,645 P 4 to less than 5 Total years =– P P =493,919,149 – 1,694,445,656 =– = P P2,188,364,805 =– P – – =– P – – =– P – – – =– P – – =– P – 176,161,152 – 5,685,576,950 =– = P P6,727,136,074 =455,749,406 P 244,710,045 164,938,521 Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates would unfavorably affect future cash flows from financial instruments. As of December 31, 2010, the Group is not exposed to the risk in changes in market interest rates since bonds payable is issued at fixed rate. As of December 31, 2009, the Group’s exposure pertains only to short-term bank loans. Fixed rate financial instruments are subject to fair value interest rate risk while floating rate financial instruments are subject to cash flow interest rate risk. Repricing of floating rate financial instruments is mostly at interval of three months or six months. A sensitivity analysis to a reasonable possible change in the market interest rates would show the potential increase or decrease on profit or loss. If the market interest rate for the period had been 0.10% higher or lower, income before income tax would increase or decrease by P =0.4 million in 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Group is not exposed to interest rate risk since the bonds payable are issued at fixed rate (see Note 16). There is no other impact on the Group’s equity other than those affecting profit or loss. 101 The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility as in prior years. Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value The fair value information as of December 31, 2010 of AFS financial assets are analyzed by source of inputs on fair valuation as follows • • • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); Those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and, Those inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair values pertains to quoted equity securities amounting to = P26.5 million and = P20.5 million, respectively, which has been determined by reference to the price of the most recent transaction at the close of the end of reporting period (Level 1). There were no financial instruments carried at fair values measured under Level 2 and Level 3. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. Categories of Financial Instruments: The following is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of the Group’s financial instruments that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31: 2009 2010 Carrying Values Financial Assets Loans and receivables: Cash Trade receivables Due from related parties Advances to suppliers Other receivables AFS financial assets: Quoted equity securities Unquoted equity securities Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities: Accounts payable: Trade Related parties Non-trade Accrued and other liabilities Bonds payable Bank loans P =826,234,366 1,556,456,469 202,868,690 42,688,794 66,437,753 2,694,686,072 Fair Values Carrying Values Fair Values P =826,234,366 1,556,456,469 202,868,690 42,688,794 66,437,753 2,694,686,072 =493,919,149 P 1,410,647,374 175,183,637 35,855,170 72,759,475 2,188,364,805 =493,919,149 P 1,410,647,374 175,183,637 35,855,170 72,759,475 2,188,364,805 26,500,000 26,500,000 460,269 460,269 26,960,269 26,960,269 P =2,721,646,341 P =2,721,646,341 20,500,000 20,500,000 460,269 460,269 20,960,269 20,960,269 =2,209,325,074 P P =2,209,325,074 P =706,953,735 P =706,953,735 459,013,863 459,013,863 133,992,161 133,992,161 99,194,149 99,194,149 4,943,080,295 5,611,080,010 – – P =6,342,234,203 P =7,010,233,918 =455,749,406 P =455,749,406 P 244,710,045 244,710,045 164,938,521 164,938,521 176,161,152 176,161,152 – – 4,570,000,000 5,685,576,950 =5,611,559,124 = P P6,727,136,074 102 The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: Cash, receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate fair values due to their short-term maturities. AFS financial assets. Fair value of investment in club securities is based on the quoted market prices of the investment. Investments in unquoted equity securities are carried at cost as there is no available basis of reasonable fair values due suspended trading of the said securities. Management has no intention to dispose the unquoted equity securities. Bank loans and bonds payable. The fair values of banks loans are based on the expected cash flows on the instruments, discounted using the prevailing interest rate of 7% at December 31, 2009 for comparable instruments in the market. These rates were obtained from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, representing bank average lending rates in 2009. The fair value of bonds payable is determined by reference to latest transaction price at the end of reporting period. 26. Capital Management The main trust of the Group’s capital management policy is to ensure that the Group complies with externally imposed capital requirements, maintains a good credit standing and a sound capital ratioto be able to support its business and maximize the value of its shareholders equity. The Group is required to maintain a maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 1.75:1 by its bank creditors in 2009 and bondholders in 2010. The Group’s dividend declaration is dependent on the availability of earnings and operating requirements. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustment to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes in 2010 and 2009. The Group met its objectives, policies or processes in 2010 and 2009. The Group considers its total equity reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as its capital. The Group monitors its use of capital and the Group’s capital adequacy by using leverage ratios, specifically, debt ratio (total debt/total equity and total debt) and debt-to-equity ratio (total debt/total equity). Included as debt are the Group’s total liabilities. Equity pertains to total equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheets. The table below shows the leverage ratios of the Group as of December 31: Total liabilities Total equity Total liabilities and equity Debt ratio Debt-to-equity ratio 2010 P =6,861,257,158 5,348,450,086 P =12,209,707,244 0.56:1 1.28:1 103 2009 = P6,247,475,988 4,703,645,053 = P10,951,121,041 0.57:1 1.33:1 27. Lease Commitment The Company has an operating lease contract, covering one of its warehouses for 15 years up to February 28, 2014, renewable at the option of the lessor. Monthly rental amounted to P =829,555. Future minimum rentals payable under the lease contract as of December 31 are as follows: 2010 P =9,954,660 29,863,980 P =39,818,640 Within one year After one year but not more than five years 2009 = P9,954,660 39,818,640 = P49,773,300 Rent expense recognized for the lease of the warehouse amounted to = P10.0 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 28. Notes to Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Non-cash Investing Activities The payables related to construction in progress of ADI and the Company amounting to =34.0 million and P P =12.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were paid in 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, unpaid additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to =25.8 million which is included as part of “Accounts payable and other liabilities.” P Packaging materials amounting to = P331.0 million were reclassified to the property, plant and equipment as part of “Warehouse and other equipment” in the 2008 consolidated balance sheet. Non-cash Financing Activity In 2008, dividends declared by the Company due to THI amounting to = P300.0 million were applied against the advances to and interest receivable from THI amounting to = P261.0 million and =39.0 million, respectively. P 29. Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Group is contingently liable for lawsuits and claims which are either under pending decisions by the courts or are still being contested, the outcomes of which are not presently determinable. a. On August 25, 2010, AAC received a Notice of Assessment from the Provincial Assessor of Negros Occidental representing deficiency realty taxes for the period 1997 to 2009 totaling =263.7 million. On September 24, 2010, AAC formally protested the assessment and asked P for the cancellation of the assessment on the following grounds: (i) The period to assess real property taxes for the years 1997 to 2004 has already prescribed. (ii) The assessment covering 2005 to 2009 are void and of no legal effect because it covers properties beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the province of Negros Occidental. 104 (iii) The value of AAC’s properties indicated in the audited financial statements, which was made the basis in determining the assessed value, included properties of AAC located in Manila and Cebu. (iv) The notice of assessment covered anti-pollution machinery and equipment or the biogas plant which are exempt by law from taxation. (v) The notice did not follow the legal mandate in determining assessed values. As of February 22, 2011, the AAC protest is still pending with the Local Board of Assessment. b. On May 29, 2008, the Company’s legal counsel filed a manifestation case with the respective courts for the consideration of the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) ruling in the pending cases regarding the GINEBRA brand name. Ginebra San Miguel (GSM), Inc. filed a =100.0 million trademark infringement case and unfair competition versus the Company in the P Court of Appeals. The Company then petitioned in the Supreme Court for review on certiorari to question the Court of Appeals ruling in favor of GSM and granting the latter’s petition for a temporary restraining order on the Company’s use of the brand name GINEBRA. On March 4, 2009, the IPO denied GSM’s motion for reconsideration but the latter filed its appeal memorandum on April 7, 2009. The Company, on the other hand, filed its comment on said appeal last May 18, 2009. On January 5, 2010, the Company received a copy of the Supreme Court’s Resolution dated November 25, 2009 denying GSM’s motion for reconsideration with finality, meaning, they cannot file another motion for reconsideration. The Supreme Court ruled that there was no basis for the issuance of the injunction restraining the Company from using GINEBRA KAPITAN as a trademark for its gin product. As of February 22, 2011, the Company is waiting for the decision of the aforementioned courts. c. On July 22, 2008, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) issued a Cease and Desist Order against AAC upon the recommendation of the Pollution Adjudication Board (PAB) for failure to meet the effluent standards. AAC filed a Motion for a Temporary Lifting Order (TLO) on August 4, 2008 in which AAC committed to implement immediate and long term remedial measures until August 2011. On August 8, 2008, the PAB issued a TLO to AAC for purposes of allowing AAC to operate and implement the committed remedial measures. The said TLO was subsequently extended for successive three-month period based on the favorable results of PAB’s inspection and samplings of the wastewater discharged (effluents) by the AAC plant. In May 2009, the residents of Pulupandan complained to the local government on the alleged pollution being caused by AAC’s operation on the marine and aerial environment. The roads to the plant were barricaded and some portions of the road were dug up to prevent access to the plant. AAC was able to obtain a court TRO to lift said barricades. 105 On June 1, 2009, the water pipeline to the AAC plant was damaged allegedly during a road improvement project. This forced AAC to temporary stop its operations as water is a necessary element in its operations. The local government openly supported the protests of the residents and on September 8, 2009, the town’s Environment Officer recommended to the town mayor the permanent closure of AAC. In the meantime and while the protests were ongoing, the existing TLO of AAC expired on June 16, 2009. AAC filed for a renewal of the TLO and this time, AAC requested for a one-year validity of the TLO. The Regional Office of the PAB favorably endorsed said application to the PAB Head Office. The PAB Head Office issued a TLO in favor of AAC initially for a period of two months to enable it to repair its damaged water pipeline in order that AAC can resume operations and that the PAB can perform inspections and samplings of its effluent as a basis for acting upon AAC’s motion for a one-year TLO. AAC has advised the local government of Pulupandan on the PAB resolution and has requested for a permit to repair the damaged water pipeline.
