Business (1) Business Development HOUSE OF INVESTMENTS, INC. (HI) HI was incorporated in 1959 as an investment bank, the first such bank to be organized in the country. However, since investment banking had yet to be developed, HI decided to create its own investments and then shifted to intra-preneurial activities. Throughout its history, HI has successfully acquired, organized, invested and divested in various corporate institutions and industries while focusing its corporate goal of contributing to the economic development of the country and to provide employment while at the same time fostering a corporate culture of integrity and excellence. At present, HI has sixteen direct subsidiaries and affiliated companies both listed and unlisted with the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE). These companies which continue to be diversified in nature and are organized into four main groups: information technology and education, construction and infrastructure, consumer finance, and car dealership. The merger of the car dealership and five other subsidiaries in 2002 was one of the strategic steps undertaken by the Management to cope up with the economic crisis and business challenges. The merger resulted in HI’s complete turnaround in 2003. Year 2003 Amidst another year of adversity and perplexity marked by the social, political, and economic crises, corporate downturn and challenges, the successive years of losses have been reversed significantly with HI posting a net income of P48.2 million (as restated) for 2003 vis-à-vis the net loss of P67.2 million (as restated) in 2002. The main drivers of the turnaround are improved profitability of most of its investments and the robust growth in the income from its car dealership operations alongside with improved dividend receipts, decline in interest and financing charges and HI’s continuous implementation of cost-effective management. The car dealership operations posted a remarkable growth in 2003 caused by the effect of the excise tax law on the motor vehicle industry. The Honda and Isuzu divisions contributed P108 million and P37 million, respectively, to HI’s bottom line. Together with Honda Cars Kalookan Inc., a 55% subsidiary, the total contribution of the car dealership businesses totaled P163 million. HI’s equity in net earnings (losses) of subsidiaries and associates, however, was reversed from P24.8 million earnings in 2002 to P28.3 million losses in 2003 on account of continued losses from its construction subsidiary EEI Corporation (EEI). EEI’s losses have weighed on HI for the past three years now and have managed to erode the profits earned from the Company’s investments in the areas of IT & Education, Consumer Finance, and other services. Year 2004 HI and its subsidiaries continued to make significant recovery as the construction and infrastructure group showed signs of improved financial performance. The information and technology group contributed significantly with a P396 million in net income in 2004 from P365 million in 2003. In July, the stockholders approved the reduction of the par value of common stock from P2.00 per share to P1.50 per share. The reduction in par value resulted in wiping out HI’s P167 million deficit in its audited retained earnings as of December 31, 2003. HI continued to streamline its investments in order to be more efficient and cost-effective. In October 12, 2004, HI swapped its investment in Pandacan Properties, Inc. in exchange for a 7% interest in Mapua Institute of Technology’s, an iPeople subsidiary, preferred stock. In December, HI reduced its stake holdings with First Malayan Leasing and Finance Corporation (Malayan Leasing) from a 51.71% interest to 45.11%. It sold its 7% share in Malayan Leasing to a RCBC Trust Fund. HI’s market price ended the year at P0.71 versus the 2003 closing price of P0.50. 4 Year 2005 The overall performance for the HI and its subsidiaries declined in 2005 as the Group’s financials adopted the new Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS). The impact of the new PAS resulted in the recognition of HI’s preferred shares as a financial liability and recognized the related dividends as interest expense for the period. Interest expense charged to operations from preferred shares amounted to P104 million. The new accounting standards’ adoption and the decline in the contribution of the information technology and education group resulted in the decline of HI’s net income from P274 million (restated) to P116 million. For the past three years, the Company has continued its positive performance. Its construction and infrastructure group’s performance has also showed signs of improved financial performance. From a net income of P3 million in 2004, the construction and infrastructure group’s net income has risen to P62M in 2005. The information, technology and education group continues to lead all segments in terms of net income although its net income declined from P396 million in 2004 to P273 million in 2005 due to declines in school and related operations. The Honda Cars Group Division with dealerships located in Quezon City, Manila, Fairview, and Marikina ended 2005 with total revenues of P1.7 billion. This amount was 13% lower than 2004 revenue of P2.0 billion. The revenue performance was adversely impacted by a drop in unit sales (from 2,173 down to 1,885). This performance mirrored the total performance of Honda as an institutional brand where total unit sales declined by 7% from 10,550 units in 2004 down to 9,797 in 2005. The major impact was felt by the 17% reduction for the year in CRV sales as competitive brands released new and sporty versions of Asian Utility Vehicles (AUV) and Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV). Despite the upgrading of the Honda City and Jazz models, the manufacturer did not have available new units for sale for the first two months of 2005. Toyota continued to dominate the local car industry. Toyota introduced both the Innova (an AUV) and the Fortuner (an SUV). These product introductions ate into the prospective sales of the Honda CRV. Nonetheless, in the passenger car segment, Honda continued to enjoy a 22% market share. Other areas of the operation showed good results. Parts and service sales grew by 22% because of an active telemarketing program which increased unit intake despite the decline in unit sales. Honda QC carefully held down operating expenses to P208 million and achieved a P14 million decline in 2005. Interest expense hurt the operation as P18 million was spent for 2005. Poor unit sales resulted in continued high inventories thus high carrying costs. As a result, the Honda Cars Group Division’s net income summed to P13 million compared to 2004 net income of P2 million. Honda Cars Group Division looks forward to a better year in 2006. The Division’s aggressive anticipation hinges on the expected launch of the all new Civic, which it believes might result in a 40% growth in unit sales from 2005. Honda Cars Group Division is confident that with the great showing of the new Civic world-wide, its aggressive 2006 operations will have a strong chance for success. The Honda Cars Group Division continued to achieve excellence in the area of parts and services. For the fourth successive year, the YGC Honda Group has been awarded Dealer Parts and Dealer Service for the Year in 2005. The Isuzu Group Division of the HI is composed of the two dealerships located in Paz Guazon St, Paco, Otis, Manila and along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. Isuzu sells commercial vehicles like the Alterra SUV, the popular AUV’s like the Highlander Crosswind, D-Max Pick-ups and the N-Series trucks. 5 For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Isuzu Group Division generated revenues of P1.1 billion, a slight decrease of 2.85% from 2004. Operating expenses were held to P68 million, a 7.23% decrease from last year. Net income increased by 43% to P4.44 million in 2005. Total demand for automobiles increased by 10% in 2005 to 97,063 units. Out of this total, commercial vehicles outsold the passenger car market with 61,432 units versus 35,631 units. Commercial vehicles maintained their market share of 63% in 2005. This was mainly due to the new variants and continued strong sales and demand of AUVs. Isuzu sold a total of 9,644 units for 2005. It ranked fourth over-all with a 10% market share of total sales following industry leader Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Honda. 2006 will be a very challenging and difficult year as the market becomes more competitive with new models and packages. A shift will most like favor the passenger car market as various new models and mix will flood the market. SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDIARIES EEI Corporation (EEI) EEI was established on April 17, 1931 as Engineering Equipment and Supply Company, Inc. EEI was established principally as a trading establishment with exclusive distributorship in the Philippines for manufacturers of industrial equipment, including tools, materials, and machines used by the local gold mining industry. EEI then diversified its operations into steel fabrication, steel production, and installation of airconditioning and refrigeration plants. In the 1970’s, EEI began its operations in the Middle East, which contributed a large part of EEI’s construction revenues. EEI has been awarded with two major certificates for quality conformance by international accreditation bodies. The steel fabrication facility in Batangas, together with corresponding support facilities and resources, were duly accredited in 1996 with systems that conform to ISO 9002 standards. Also in 1996, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) authorized EEI to use the ASME stamp of quality conformance in the fabrication of pressure vessels, pressure piping power boilers, and power boiler assemblies. This made EEI the first Philippine Construction Company to have achieved an ISO 9002 accreditation. In 1998, this accreditation was extended to its entire construction business, including its field prospects and support services. EEI sustained management initiatives through organization rightsizing and re-focusing of its core construction business to provide the foundation for its eventual recovery. First, EEI enhanced its customer focus, emphasizing on the changing and more demanding needs and requirements of the market. Consequently, EEI transformed its value position as a total solutions provider. EEI expanded its customer base to include the institutional market such as universities, hospitals, and local government, which are growing at a faster rate than the national economy. Second, consistent with being customer-driven, EEI is gearing towards service excellence. It reinforced the business processes to always ensure the world-class caliber of operations and systems. A key initiative has been the ISO 9002 certification, which was successfully obtained. EEI is the only construction company to have been awarded this prestigious recognition in design and engineering in the country. Third, EEI adopted the global best practice standards to ensure that it can efficiently compete in the price-sensitive, yet highly competitive market in terms of project capacity, processes, and execution. EEI has faithfully contributed to the economic development of the country through the quality products it has sold and the countless structures and facilities it has built through eight decades. 6 Year 2003 The continued slump in the domestic construction industry severely affected the overall financial performance of EEI in 2003. The construction business further contracted in 2003 by 5.9 percent. The negative performance is largely due to the reduction in public investments in construction. The government significantly reduced its expenditures on capital outlays to contain budget deficit. Investments in private construction on the other hand, managed to grow but it was not enough to compensate the drop in public sector construction. The growth in private construction is due to the strong demand in housing and trade establishments but there were no new capacity expansions of key manufacturing industries, which is a niche market of EEI. Major contracts meanwhile were completed and turned over to the principals during the year. Among the projects that were completed in 2003 include Pacific Mall of Landco, The New Jollibee Commissary, Unilab Warehouse/Distribution Center, and the EDSA Central Crossing Redevelopment project for Greenfield Development Corporation. Despite the very intense competition and unfavorable outlook in the construction industry, EEI managed to obtain the following projects in the domestic market: NAIA 3 Expressway and related road project – Phase I contract package II Skyway interchange ramps 1 and 4 for DPWH; general construction works for the Esperanza Residences projects of Ayala Land, Inc.; construction packages for SMC PET plants in Davao and Pampanga; total work packages for the construction of GA Tower of Globe Asiatique Realty; various construction work packages for Intel Phil.; steel gates for KAMANAVA and Bohol irrigation projects of Kurimoto, Ltd.; civil, equipment installation, electrical, and instrumentation works for Petron Bataan Refinery LVN/GOHT; mechanical and installation works for Purefoods – Hormel, Inc.; piping, mechanical, brick lining works for Rio Tuba nickel plant in Palawan for JGC Philippines, and offsite automation project of Petron Bataan Refinery for UHDE. On September 15, 2003, the SEC approved EEI’s plan of quasi-reorganization eliminating the accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2002 amounting to P145.94 million by applying a portion of EEI’s revaluation increment in land of the same amount. In January 2004, the SEC approved EEI’s plan to undergo quasireorganization to wipe its deficit as of October 31, 2003 amounting to P586.70 million against the remaining revaluation increment of P590.49 million. The quasi-reorganization was approved subject to the following conditions: 1) That the remaining increment of P3.78 million set-up in the books of EEI after the deficit shall have been offset, will not be used to wipe out losses that may be incurred in the future without prior approval of the SEC. 2) That for purposes of dividend declaration, retained earnings of EEI shall be restricted to the extent of the deficit wiped-out by the appraisal surplus. 3) That should EEI’s operation improve as of the end of calendar year 2003, the amount of P586.70 million in whole or in part shall be reverted to revaluation increment. On December 31, 2003, EEI reverted revaluation increment to retained earnings amounting to P3.55 million. Year 2004 The national economy grew moderately in 2004, in spite of monumental challenges in the political, peace and order and international fronts. More significant than the numbers is the underlying mood of determination among businessmen and entrepreneurs that the country will turn around from its woes, notwithstanding security concerns and political uncertainties which have already been discounted in the economic equation. In particular, the construction sector turned in a strong recovery in 2004. It posted a significant growth of 8.9% from the slump of negative 2.6 percent in 2003, sustained by positive performance for all quarters during the year. The turn-around was fueled by gains in public construction in line with the Government’s pump-priming initiative, as it registered 5.2% growth compared to the huge contraction of 15.5% a year ago. Increased government expenditures by the national and local government resulted in the expansion of public sector construction activity, notably in the areas of flood control, ports, road and bridges. However, a significant part of new construction was financed from bilateral agencies, which favor contractors from the donor or creditor countries. 7 On the other hand, private construction maintained its growth of 6.8%, practically the same level in 2003, as investments in high-rise residential, commercial and mall property developments and private infrastructure toll way projects continued throughout 2004. Unfortunately, the sector’s growth is not broadbased. Industrial construction continued to be in a slump, highlighted by the dearth in construction projects in new manufacturing, petroleum, power and other industrial plants, as well as capacity upgrading by this broad sector. It is in the industrial sector where EEI’s core construction expertise is most proven and recognized. The domestic construction market remained highly competitive in spite of the over-all industry growth. EEI made headway in 2004 by winning high-rise property projects that partially compensated for the continued weakness in our strong niche markets in the oil and gas, manufacturing, power and industrial sectors. Yet, in spite of the absence of major capital projects, oil and gas companies continued to be our valued customers as they availed of our services in their regular expansion programs and maintenance, including tank fabrication and electro-mechanical works. Projects awarded to EEI during the period in review includes: • Serendra-District 1 (Section A) CPO2 general construction works for Ayala Land, Inc.; • Veridian Tower for Centroville, Inc.; • Fairways Tower CP2 main contract package for Phil Township, Inc.; • various work packages for Intel Philippines under its SPGC (small projects general contractor) program; • structural fabrication and erection works for Petron Bataan Refinery with CTCI; • fabrication and erection of methanol tank for JGC; • fabrication and installation of new cone roof tank for Petron Bataan Refinery; • fabrication of 500 cubic meters water tank for San Miguel Corporation; • liquid facilities expansion for Procter and Gamble Philippines, Inc.; • power system upgrade for Unilab; • on-shore work for 1 x 24.95 TPH boiler installation for Nestle Philippines; • MMICP-DPWH Phase 5 C5 Kalayaan Ave. (R4) interchange project; • electromechanical erection works and river water intake system for the 210 MW Mindanao coal fired power plant with KHI; • fabrication and erection of Casecnan gates for China Geo; • construction of main clubhouse for Ayala Greenfields; • proposed chapel and shrine for Mirant Sual power plant of Mirant (Phils.) Foundation; • fabrication of MMDA Footbridges for IL Alaine Trading and Construction Corp.; • erection of towers at Poro Point for US Embassy; • liquids facilities expansion and JUDO project of PGPI; • covering of basketball court for Philip Morris Philippines Manufacturing, Inc.; • additional works for Purefoods Hormel Meat Plant; and • Cathodic protection upgrade for Malampaya – Foster Wheeler/Shell Philippines. Overseas, EEI continues to be engaged in various construction works in countries in the Middle East and in addition to Africa. • Consolidated contracts and orders valued at P2.62 billion were obtained during the year, compared to P3.96 billion in 2003. Project orders backlog amounted to the equivalent of P3.01 billion as of the end of the year, of which P1.74 billion are building contracts. EEI Construction and Marine, Inc. registered revenues of P100 million in 2004, an improvement from the P90 million in 2003. However, net earnings remained at nearly the same level of P2.25 million. The major projects obtained or completed during the year included the fabrication of 190 units underground tanks and 10 MB VCR tank for Petron; fabrication and erection of vertical cone roof tanks, installation of 8 interconnecting pipelines and pipe bridge and the construction of two service stations for Pilipinas Shell; and fabrication of underground tanks for the new independent oil players. EEI Power Corporation’s (EEI Power) main business is to build, rehabilitate and operate diesel, gas turbine, steam power plant and other power generating plants. It has the capability to operate and maintain private diesel power generating plants with a capacity of up to 100 MW. EEI Power at present maintains and supplies power to Creative Die Cast Philippines through a 1 MW diesel power plant on a build, operate, lease and transfer (BOLT) scheme arrangement. EEI Power has provided quality, reliable and continuous supply of electricity to its client. It has entered into an Operation and Management Agreement with Mariwasa Siam Ceramics Inc for the operation of 10 MW Power Plant and with Tantuco Enterprise Inc for 1.2 MW Power Plant both heavy fuel fired diesel engine. EEI Power also cater for the minor and major overhauling job as it entered into a service contract with San Miguel Yamamura Asia Corp., San Miguel Mandaue and Farola Plant and Samsung Phils (SEMPHIL). EEI Power continues to expand focusing on the target to niche in the market of power generation and operation and management of power plants. EEI Power recorded favorable financial results in 2004 in spite of intense competition. Revenue increased 79% to P47.8 million from the P26.7 million in 2003. Net income of P4.1 million was slightly higher than the P4.0 million last year. The top-line revenue growth resulted from the strategy to expand its operation and management (O & M) service for private corporations. During the year, EEI Power forged an agreement with Tantuco Enterprises, Inc. for a three-year contract for Operation and Management of the latter’s 1200 KW diesel power plant in Lucena City. The project will start commercial operation in March 2005. Its Service and Service Sales Group have obtained a service contract with San Miguel Yamamura Asia Corp., San Miguel Glass Plant in Mandaue and Binondo plant and Samsung Phils. Inc. for the minor and major overhauling of their diesel power plants. The business outlook for EEI Power is positive. EEI Power is working on finalizing an agreement with Creative Diecast Philippines, Corp. for upgrading of its 1MW to 1.8 MW power plant, an Operation and Management contract with Mariwasa Siam Ceramics which will bring additional revenues for 2005. The Service and Service Sales Group is finalizing the service contract with Nestle Phils. Inc. In addition to O & M projects, the company is developing other business models such as Build, Operate, Lease and Transfer (BOLT), Build, Own and Operate (BOO), project management and turnkey construction projects. EEI continues to expand focusing on the target markets of power generation and operation and management of power plants. EEI Realty Corporation was incorporated on May 1995 that allows EEI’s entry into real estate and property development business. The creation of EEI Realty complements the construction business of EEI; ensuring optimum use of the latter’s construction equipment for site development and civil works on EEI Realty’s real estate properties. The real estate market remained sluggish in the first half of the year, particularly during the months prior to the May presidential elections, on account of political anxieties, security concerns and generally weak economy. Competition also intensified, highlighted by the launching of residential and other property projects within Mega Manila, including Laguna and Cavite. EEI Realty recorded gross sales of P36.2 million, 51% down from last year. The market up-tick in the second semester and sales bookings during this period were not sufficient to compensate for the laggard first half. Below-expectation sales resulted in the company’s net loss of P24.1 million in 2004. 9 The Suburbia East project registered healthy sales of P35.4 million, equivalent to 26 house & lot packages and lots sold and additional reservations kicking in during the second semester. Construction of different units in Phase I was in full swing in 2004. Site development works for Suburbia East Phase 2 commenced during the year at 10% completion. Sales reservations registered were a robust 38 units by the end of the year. The sales performance of Grosvenor Place, a low-cost residential joint venture project with Robinsons Homes, Inc, ended in a contrasting note with marginal sales in 2004. By year-end, the pre-termination of the joint venture arrangement was being negotiated to free our remaining 58 hectares in the Tanza, Cavite property for alternative developments. Meanwhile, the Ayala-Greenfield Development Corporation continued the development of the more than 11 hectares of EEI Realty’s land contribution for the joint venture in Ayala-Greenfield Estates in Calamba, Laguna. Equipment Engineers, Inc. engages in trading of industrial equipment and supplies in the Philippines. It provides broad range of industrial plant equipment, replacement parts and supplies. It principally serves the industrial and commercial sectors as distinguished from the consumer sector. It is considered one of the largest domestic trading houses dealing with this type of merchandise. Equipment Engineers acts as distributor of industrial and engineering products for over 50 international manufacturers, mostly on an exclusive basis. It has maintained long-standing relationships with its suppliers, although distribution arrangements are renewed annually. It is not, however, dependent on any particular supplier or product line. EEI’s machinery and systems solutions subsidiary – Equipment Engineers was able to rebound from financial loss in 2003 to post a modest net income of P2.3 million in 2004. The improved performance stemmed from the increase in revenues from P106 million in 2003 to P119 million in 2004 and EEI’s aggressive cost management efforts, highlighted by the significant reduction of fixed expenses by 31%. Consolidated net income after tax (inclusive of EE’s 40% equity share from EEI Power) amounted to P3.9 million. EEI obtained orders for building management, power, instrumentation and security systems for Marina Square Hotel, Globe Telecoms and Innove, Smart Communications, National Power Corporation, JG Summit, J.D. BEC, EEI (parent company) and other companies. Specifically, it secured the contract for the supply 500 kW generating sets for NPC – Small Power Utility Group (SPUG) worth a total of US$ 9.2 million. Gulf Asia International Corporation (GAIC) was incorporated as a manpower services firm in the Philippines for overseas construction jobs. Its clients are mainly overseas companies. EEI employs the services of GAIC at market rates. GAIC has also successfully expanded its operations to become an integrated provider of outsourced services to local companies and manpower maintenance provider through its subsidiaries GAIC Professional Services, Inc. (GAPSI) and GAIC Manpower Services, Inc. (GAMSI), respectively. GAIC recorded another excellent year in 2004. Despite the substantial manpower reduction in the MAN Libya project, consolidated gross revenues continued to grow, rising 25% from P86.5 million in 2003 to P108.1 million during the year. Consolidated net income increased 30% from P8.3 million to P10.8 million. Deployment of additional manpower to traditional clients in the Middle East, Malaysia and Singapore, the acquisition of new contracts in Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Central Africa, and the continued manpower mobilization for EEI’s projects in the Middle East, Equatorial Guinea and Asian countries contributed to the healthy performance. Its domestic manpower services subsidiary GAIC Manpower Services, Inc. (GAMSI) continued to perform creditably. GAMSI improved its net earnings to P4.5 million, accounting for 42% of GAIC earnings and 10 up 32% from last year’s P3.4 million. The growth reflects the acquisition of new outside maintenance contracts during the year. The YGC remains the major customer of GAMSI. Wholly owned GAIC Professional Services, Inc. (GAPSI), which specializes on providing outsourced business process services in finance, accounting, payroll, money sorting, collection and data services, realized a slight decrease in net earnings from P2.2 million in 2003 to P1.9 million in 2004. Year 2005 The country posted GDP growth of below 6% in 2005. Although lower than expectations, the economic growth would have been more robust had it not been dampened by the political disturbances, as well as the escalating oil prices and rising inflation. The over-all positive prospects were reflected in the healthy recovery in housing and property development, stable interest rates, higher corporate profits and the appreciating Philippine peso. Construction mirrored the intensity of the political developments. From 8% growth in the first quarter, the sector decelerated to 4% in the second quarter and slipped to negative territory in the third quarter before turning around to post a 7% jump in the fourth quarter. Decreased public construction affected the sector, particularly in the second and third quarter due to the overhang in the government’s fiscal position. Private sector construction likewise registered a decline but at a lower pace as it took a breather with the completion of major high-rise residential and office buildings and commercial mall property developments. In a positive note, industrial construction has begun to revive, led by construction projects in mining and new capacity upgrading projects in light manufacturing, heavy industry, petroleum and power. EEI plans to sharpen their business focus, even during the extended period of slow economic activity, has steadily but surely enhanced our business systems and processes and created a more effective organization. EEI has maintained its business structure around its core competencies of electro-mechanical, building, steel fabrication and horizontal construction. This focus has resulted in greater mastery of the unique construction and project management methodologies inherent in each sector and a better understanding of these market segments. The streamlining of EEI’s business processes which it had painstakingly undertook during the difficult years has resulted in EEI being enhanced cost-competitive. In whatever economic environment, the EEI that is taking shape will be a viable, strong and competitive business corporation. The biggest hurdle that EEI had to surmount was not just the prolonged construction market downturn – it was the mistaken mindset in the superiority of its ways of doing things during the up-cycle. EEI had to push aside old paradigms and core beliefs, and drove for an EEI that is learning and adapting organization – lean, fast, agile and able to adopt the best practices and technologies within its core construction business. With a more effective organization structure and streamlined systems and processes, coupled by better cost profile, EEI is positioned to take advantage of the momentum established a few years ago and access the opportunities in the market. The road to economic resurgence has been long, but it appears to be gaining ground. In particular, the domestic construction market has started to show greater vibrancy. The property development sector continues to be robust, with several new landmark projects in the Makati, Ortigas and Fort Bonifacio business districts. Housing, including high-rise residential condominiums, has been the recipient of low and stable prevailing interest rates and rising demand. Infrastructure projects have been constrained and delayed by financing issues and right-of-way and other problems. But in the medium term, the mass rail transport systems, airports and seaports, bridges and roadways earmarked for construction and upgrading will have to be put up as the country bids to modernize its infrastructure and boost the economy. 11 Indications of recovery in the manufacturing and industrial sector have become evident, as food and beverage corporations, cement companies and other consumer-dependent industrial firms have begun to put on line capital expansion and upgrading activities. Upgrading projects by the independent power producers and new power generation facilities are also anticipated in the medium-term. EEI’s major role in the power sector projects in the 1990s will give it a sure footing in this sector once new construction begins to take off in the coming years. Political unrest and disturbances have once again taken center stage in early 2006. It is to the credit of the professional leadership of the Armed Forces that it has shunned partisanship and maintained its respect for constitutional and legal processes. The vast majority of the population has remained sober and calm amid the agitation and confusion. In a sense, the nation has grown to expect these disturbances every year. What is noteworthy is the unmistakable shift, the turning point in the attitude and paradigm of the business sector and its sensing of its role in the country. Private business will move ahead and will remain the engine of growth in this country, even with the political distractions. Likewise, the majority of law-abiding, peace-loving and productive members of society have aligned with the business sector in the genuine quest to diligently and quietly work for the progress of the country and the improvement in the welfare of the Filipino. EEI has a stake in building a strong economy. The momentum has shifted, the tables are turning towards recovery and take-off. After many years of re-tooling and re-engineering to be a competitive and efficient industry player, EEI is ready to do its part in the expansion and modernization of Philippine business. iPeople, inc. iPeople, inc.(the Company), formerly known as Petrofields Exploration and Development Co., Inc. (Petrofields), was organized and incorporated on July 27, 1989 by Benguet Corporation to engage in petroleum and mineral exploration, development, and production. Petrofields operated as such until 1997 when the shareholders changed its name and primary purpose to that of a development and investment management company while retaining oil exploration as one of its secondary purposes. Its business interests include education and information technology through Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT), Mapua Information Technology Center (MITc), Mapua Techserve, Inc. (Mapua Techserve), Pan Pacific Computer Center, Incorporated (PPCCI), and People eServe Corporation (People eServe). Established in 1925, MIT is a recognized leader in engineering and architecture education in the Philippines. Beginning in December 1999, under the stewardship of the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC), MIT has seen renewed vigor in its curricular, faculty, facilities and institutional development programs. In June 2000, barely six months after the transfer of ownership, MIT added the BS Computer Science degree to its academic offerings. Within this year, a state-of-the-art electronic network connecting some 1,800 computers was set up – “at internet speed” to use an expression of that time. In 2001 MIT added BS Information Technology and BS Information Management to its roster of program offerings. It started to offer MS Geoinformatics and MS Environmental Engineering. It created two wholly-owned subsidiaries: The Mapua Techserv, which is MIT’s arm for engineering consultancy and testing services and the Mapua Information Technology. Center (MITc), which is the vehicle for the two-year associate degree programs, short courses and various business ventures in Information Technology (IT). 12 In 2002, MIT instituted the undergraduate programs in Materials Science and Engineering, Geological Engineering and Geology. It was granted “Fully Deregulated Status” by the CHED. It established a campus in Makati, which has become the home of all of its I.T. academic programs and of the MITc. In this year, too, MIT successfully pioneered the adoption of the quarter system of education. MITc is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIT. Established in 2001, it is committed to the development of intellectual capital through IT education, innovation and collaboration. The synergy of MITc’s Associate Degree (AD) Program , Technology Oriented Program (TOP) and Business Resource Center (BRC) creates an effective environment for the development of highly skilled IT professionals and the creation of cuttingedge IT applications and services. The AD offers 2-year courses for college-level students, as well as professionals desirous of additional credentials, in any of the following IT disciplines: • Information Systems • Management Systems Technology • Internet & Network Technology • Digital Arts and Design Offerings are geared towards developing skills with high industry demand. Students can obtain industry certifications in technologies like Java and Cisco. Students are assigned to reputable companies for their on-the-job training to ensure hands-on application of the curriculum. The TOP caters to professionals, fresh graduates or even students seeking to enhance their IT and business competencies within a short timeframe. As with all MITc offerings, TOP courses are pursued in cooperation with the best offerings in the industry. People eServe is a wholly owned subsidiary of iPeople, Inc., incorporated last July 17, 2001 as an IT company , and was reorganized in July 1, 2002 to venture into specific IT projects, which include providing PC maintenance services, reselling IT equipment and marketing various products and services developed by MIT. In 2004, People eServe focused on expanding its business in IT equipment maintenance and IT equipment reselling. In support of its expansion programs, People eServe filed for the increase of its authorized capital stock from P1.00 million to P5.00 million in 2004. This was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2004. PPCCI was incorporated on May 15, 1970. PPCCI started as the EDP unit of Pan Malayan Management and Investment Corp. It rendered IT services to Great Pacific Life Assurance Corp. (Grepalife), Malayan Insurance, Industrial Finance Corp. and Diner’s Club. In 1970, this EDP unit spun off into an independent company. For the past years, its paramount purpose is to provide IT support to Grepalife and Pacific Plans. Year 2003 MIT instituted the BS Biotechnology program with double-degree and triple-degree options combining Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. It also instituted the MS Computer Science program. The process of ABET Certification of Substantial Equivalency was started with the application of the EE, ECE and CoE programs for Certification. In this year MIT was granted “Fully Autonomous” status by the CHED. Year 2004 MIT set up the San Lorenzo Ruiz School of Health Sciences in its Makati campus for the offering of the B.S. Nursing program. The year saw three new undergraduate degree program offerings: BS Interior Architecture Design, BS Project Construction Management and BS Engineering Management. New graduate programs included MS Engineering Management, MS Materials Science and Engineering, and MS Electronics and Communications Engineering. Joint BS-MS programs which shortened the residency time of students were started: BS Chemical Engineering-MS Environmental Engineering; BS Chemical Engineering and Chemistry-MS Environmental Engineering and BS Chemical Engineering and ChemistryMS Chemistry. 13 On December 14, 2004, the Board of Trustees (BOT) and the Stockholders amended the articles of incorporation to include in MIT’s purposes in relation to the granting and offering of certificates, degrees, diplomas and titles, including honorary ones, conformably with law and pertinent rules and regulations; and the founding and maintaining of experimental stations, laboratories, science centers, research centers, review centers, dormitories and restaurants, student residence halls, faculty housing, mess facilities and such other structures and facilities as maybe necessary to carry out or aid in the accomplishment of the educational vision, mission and objectives. In 2004, the iPeople, inc. acquired 70% ownership of PPCCI through share swap with Grepalife effective January 1, 2004. Upon acquisition, PPCCI’s purpose has been transformed to become the provider of choice for consolidated IT services for the entire YGC as well as create its niche in the domestic market. Year 2005 On February 08, 2005, the BOT and the Stockholders amended the articles of incorporation to change the name of MIT to Malayan Colleges, Inc. (Operating under the name of Mapua Institute of Technology). The amended articles of incorporation was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2005. By July 2006, MIT will begin offering BS Hotel and Restaurant Management. It will also open the doors of the Malayan High School of Science in Pandacan, Manila. By 2007, it hopes to open the Malayan Colleges Laguna. First Malayan Leasing and Financing Corporation (Malayan Leasing) Malayan Leasing (trade name) was incorporated and registered with the SEC on October 21, 1965 primarily to engage in general financing and investment businesses. Malayan Leasing has a Non-Bank Quasi Bank (NBQB) license from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) which enables Malayan Leasing to solicit money market placements as the main source of funds. Malayan Leasing’s Head Office is at 5F Grepalife Building, Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City is 45.11% owned by HI. Year 2003 Malayan Leasing did fairly well in funding the growth of its assets. Diversification of funding sources resulted in 8% savings in interest expense and 29% increase in interest income. Bills payable increased by 13% to P676.4 million with Money Tree placements accounting for 19%, CLF funded – 8%, regular Money Market – 46%, and bank borrowings at 27%. Malayan Leasing successfully complied with BIR’s requirement for the filing and payment of taxes via internet using BIR’s E-filing and Land Bank’s E-payment program. Malayan Leasing, likewise, is compliant with the mandate of the BSP for a business continuity plan to guard against unexpected events. Month-end accruals of branches were automated while Head Office was still on the parallel run stage. The Net Profit/Loss (NPL) ratio in 2003 improved to 11.7% due to aggressive collection and loan workout. It also contributed P8.2 million in revenues from sale of acquired assets and collection of late payment penalties. Malayan Leasing’s branches booked a total of P81.7 million for a 102% improvement compared to the previous year. This production volume resulted in 35% and 385 growth in branch portfolio and assets, respectively. Branches contributed P7.1 million or 28% of net income in 2003. A cash dividend of 10% was paid in 2003 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2002. Year 2004 Net income dropped by 59% from P25.3 million in 2003 to P10.6 million in 2004. Major factors, which contributed to the decrease in net income include: (a) the higher cost of borrowings with the average 91day Treasury Bills rate moving from 6.03% in 2003 to 7.34% in 2004, (b) higher reserve requirements imposed by the BSP from 16% in 2003 to 19% in 2004, and (c) additional P12 million loan loss provisioning to increase reserves to P40 million. NPL ratio of Malayan Leasing stood at 7.4% as of yearend of 2004, an improvement from the 8% ratio in 2003. 14 Operating expenses were at 35% of total revenues in 2004, which compared with the 18% registered in 2003. A staff redundancy program reduced headcount from 37 in 2003 to 29 in 2004. Total assets amounted to P1.02 billion in 2004, down by 2% from P1.04 billion in 2003. The reduction in assets was principally the result of a larger receivable run-off compared to the volume of booked loans and leases. Malayan Leasing ended 2004 with a ROA of 1% and a ROE of 4%. A 10% cash dividend amounting to P21.09 million was paid in 2004 to stockholders of record as of December 2003. Year 2005 Malayan Leasing’s net loss for the year was at P5.99 million from a net income of P10.19 million in 2004. The loss was attributable to lower level of revenue bookings and related receivables, income adjustments due to new accounting standards, lower levels of interest income on deposits, lower extra-ordinary income arising from sale of acquired assets, and high level of non-performing loans. Operating expenses increased are higher by 2.58% from the previous year due to documentary stamps and brokers’ commissions incurred on the sale of an acquired asset. Total assets by the end of 2005 were at P712.22 million. Receivables growth did not reach the expected level due to stiff competition, political uncertainty, and rising cost and lower margins experienced by medium-sized companies. Effective borrowing cost in 2005 was 8.9%. While 91-day treasury bills rate improved, the large withdrawals of YGC placements necessitated drawings from Malayan Leasing’s bank lines. These were easily 3 to 4% higher than money market rates. Honda Cars Kalookan, Inc. (HCKI) HCKI was previously an investment of HCQC but by virtue of the merger of HCQC with HI last December 27, 2002, HCKI became a 55%-owned subsidiary of HI. HCKI was incorporated and registered with the SEC on November 22, 1993 to engage principally in the sale and distribution, service and repair of automobiles, parts, and accessories. HCKI currently holds office at 598 Edsa Balintawak, Caloocan City. Year 2003 Three new models were launched in the last quarter of 2003: the Completely Built Units (CBU) City units from Thailand, the new Accord and the reintroduction of 5-seater Honda CRV 4X4. These car models are part of Honda’s efforts to maintain its market share and improve its position against the leading competitors. On May 13, 2003 and July 22, 2003, HCKI declared P15.0 million cash dividends on each date. Year 2004 The year 2004 was challenging for the auto industry in general and Honda in particular. The entry of European and American car brands broadened consumer choices. In addition, car sticker prices correspondingly adjusted with the revised tax scheme for Asian Utility Vehicles (AUVs), which shifted demand to lower margin sedans. These types of vehicles usually require both fewer accessories and collateral business. The competition also heated up with the introduction of a wide variety of competing models and the repositioning of existing models into another category. Other brands seemed to be priced more attractively than Honda cars. Despite forecast revisions at the start of the second semester of 2004, HCKI missed its targeted sales revenue by 2%. This is due to the weak sales in the last quarter of 2004. Net sales dropped to P1.3B in 2004 from P1.6 billion last year. Vehicle sales in 2004 were at P1.08 billion, down by 21% from 2003 15 while Parts Sales stood at P26.0 million shrinking by 16% against that of last year. Service revenues, however, reached P138.8 million growing by 1% compared to that of the previous year. Total gross profit of P110.9 million for 2004 is indicative of the weak sales for most part of the year was down 8% against the revised 2004 budget and 25% below that of last year. Vehicle sales’ gross profit of P48.7 million was 14% below the revised budget owing to the slow sales in the last quarter, while the gross profit from parts sales was down 3% against budget due to fewer units sold than anticipated. Service revenue gross profits P56.7 million, while still 3% lower than budget contributed in absorbing the overheads. Cost management of overheads yielded 5% savings in total operating expenses compared to budget. The strict adherence to the agreed promo package and a tight watch on freebies helped the HCKI bring down its promotion expenses by 9% against budget. Maximizing the available manpower and going over each expense with the objective of bringing down cost not only enabled the HCKI to maintain last year’s level but even resulted to a 3% savings against budget. Collateral income posted was at P19 million. It surpassed the budget by 15% but was 15% lower than that of last year. Although sales of new policies dropped by 20%, booking of renewal policies grew by 9% as compared to budget, the commission from bank financing referrals exceeded budget by 5%, and the income derived from sales of LTO services, rust proofing services and sales of pre-owned vehicles exceeded budget by almost P2.3 million. HCKI’s net income for the year of P8.3 million missed the revised budget by 10%. Year 2005 2005 was a tough year for the Philippines. The implementation of the Expanded Value Added Tax disrupted the buying patterns of car buyers. The volatility of fuel prices at the pump created by rising oil prices slowed the demand for high-end sedans. The competition introduced a wider variety of models increasing competition across all lines. resulted in unit sales volume slipped by 8% compared to 2004. This Landev Corporation (Landev) Landev was incorporated and registered with the SEC on May 04, 1995 primarily to engage in properties and asset management, project development and consultancy. Landev is 100% owned by HI. Year 2004 Since year 2001, Landev activities consisted of (a) overseeing the over-all operation of RCBC Realty Corporation as owner’s representative and general managers for the RCBC Plaza, (b) consultant of Malayan Insurance Co. involving the take-over of the ASB Malayan Condominium Project in Ortigas, (c) project manager of MIT IT School Fit Out Works located at the old RCBC building in Buendia, and (d) general manager of Grepaland low-cost housing project, Celestine 2 and 3 located in Cabuyao, Laguna. In 2002, Landev acted as property manager for ETY, Y-Tower 1 and 2 buildings effective September 16, 2002 and provided executive project management assistance to Honda and Isuzu divisions of HI covering various rehabilitation works on its buildings. Landev continued to manage the mentioned projects in 2003. In addition, Landev has taken over the full property management of RCBC Plaza and MIT-Intramuros campus. Year 2005 Landev earned its revenues from the following activities: • Real estate Management Services, which includes the disposition of ROPOAS’s and the outright sale or lease of idle assets. • Property and Facilities Management of several office buildings. This activity also includes building lease administration. • Project Management activities on construction and development projects of our customers. Other operating income (such as income from car parks, billboard rentals, and others) contributed the balance of Landev’s revenues. 16 In 2006, Landev will continue to provide the same services to its customers, and seek to expand its customer base to a greater extent outside of the YGC. In addition, the company will open a new security and risk management business. Management expects a healthy increase in revenues for the forthcoming year. HI or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates did not suffer any bankruptcy, receivership or of any similar proceedings. (2) Business of Issuer HI is a management and holding company of the YGC. HI is a respected leader in project development activities and joint ventures with internationally established companies, and controls and manages companies in (1) construction and infrastructure (EEI Corp.), (2) consumer finance (Malayan Leasing), Zamboanga Industrial Finance Corporation, (3) information technology and education (iPeople inc. which owns 100% of Malayan Colleges, Inc., Mapua Information Technology Center, Inc., People eServe, and Pan Pacific Computer Center, Incorporated and (4) other services, e.g. memorial park, strategic sourcing and property management , (Manila Memorial Park Cemetery Inc., HI-Eisai Pharmaceutical, Inc., Landev Corp., La Funeraria Sucat, Inc., among others). The merger with Honda Cars Quezon City, Inc., Isuzu Manila, Inc., and other companies under the umbrella of HI gave rise to the adoption of the Company’s secondary purpose - the car dealership. The merger was approved last December 27, 2002 with Resolution No. 011. The Car dealership division consisting of four (4) franchised dealers for Honda cars and two (2) franchised dealers for Isuzu vehicles competes essentially in Metro Manila for sales and services of the said brands. The primary competitor is the Ayala dealerships for both Honda and Isuzu vehicles. The principal source of supply for sale (vehicles and parts) is the distributor/assembler, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. for the Honda brand and the Isuzu Philippines Corp. for the Isuzu brand. The supply for both brands is governed by existing franchise agreements. The car division is dependent on the franchise agreement. The agreements outline the authority of the Company to sell the branded vehicles and its corresponding genuine parts and accessories as well as to carry the brand trademarks. HI’s car dealerships are required to secure Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) accreditation as a Class “A”, Motor Shop and Service provider and Land and Transportation Office (LTO) accreditation as Dealer of the branded vehicles. HI expects no difficulties or problems in securing the said accreditation. No new products or services are in the planning stage that will require material amount of resources to be spent by HI. HI is not dependent upon any single buyer. The Construction and Infrastructure segment, the Education and Information Technology segment and the Car Divisions, all contribute more than 98% to sales or revenue of HI. There has been no significant amount of money spent on governmental activities in the last three years. HI (excluding subsidiaries) has 591 non-officers and 9 officers or a total manpower of 600 as of December 31, 2005 and is not subjected to any Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA). At the end of 2006, it is anticipated that the total number of employees would still be the same level. EEI – EEI’s primary area of business is to provide large-scale construction services to both the domestic and overseas markets. EEI is listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc (PSE). It was incorporated in 1935. 17 The basic strategy of EEI is to pursue leadership through multiple construction technology and undertaking multiple projects across geographic markets. It aims to further expand its international market presence by increasing manpower services where it has successfully established a niche market with its track record. EEI’s objective is to increase the contribution of its overseas projects so that it can diversify its geographic exposures and have steady revenue and profit flows in the future to compensate the slowdown in the domestic market. EEI, to complement this, has programmed and increased its marketing efforts in the Middle East. Overseas projects and dollar-denominated domestic projects provide additional advantages as it has enabled EEI to hedge foreign exchange risks and record currency conversion gains. EEI shall also continue its program of technology acquisition through strategic alliances. Partnerships with local and international players allow EEI to widen the scope of its business and market. In addition to the construction operations carried out by EEI, the activities of its subsidiaries and affiliates augment and support the construction business. EEI’s subsidiaries and affiliates are mainly Filipino companies incorporated in the Philippines. In the domestic construction market, EEI acts as either sole or main contractor or, in the case of large-scale projects in which an overseas company has been retained as the main contractor, as a sub-contractor. Its construction activities include projects for infrastructure, marine facilities, and industrial plants (i.e., cement, oil refinery, power, chemical, food, and other manufacturing plants). Its services cover general contracting and project management, civil and concreting works, structural works, mechanical and equipment installation works, piping works, tank erection, electrical and instrumentation works, insulation and fireproofing works, tank, vessel, and equipment fabrication works, and detailed engineering services. Sub-contractors are employed by EEI to perform minor works, such as painting, roofing, and waterproofing. EEI had to focus on specific market niches that have remained on an expansion mode in the face of the overall economic slowdown. It has managed to obtain new projects in infrastructure and the expansion and rehabilitation projects of water operators in Metro Manila. It has also participated in the construction of electronic plants and property development projects in the domestic scene. Overseas, EEI is primarily a sub-contractor in providing manpower, and is also engaged in project management and supervision, and secondarily, as a supplier of construction equipment and engineering design services. EEI is a pioneer Philippine contractor in the Middle East with an undisputed record of major projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the last 25 years. The projects reflect recognition of EEI’s globally competitive construction expertise by international contractors. While EEI intends to maintain a strong base in the domestic market in the coming years, it also intends to expand its overseas operations, notably in Saudi Arabia and other gulf states. EEI regards the following as its main competitors: DMCI, Makati Development Corporation, F.F. Cruz & Company, Inc., Summa Kumagai, Leighton, and BF Corporation, which are also into building and infrastructure as general contractors, similar to EEI. EEI attributes its position in the domestic market to its established reputation, its broad range of industrial construction capabilities, quality of its construction work, and the technical competence of its work force. In the international construction markets, EEI faces stiff competition from Indian, Pakistani, Bangladesh, Sri Lankan, Egyptian, Thai, and Indonesian construction companies, who also have the advantage of relatively low labor costs for labor-intensive contracts. EEI considers its competitive advantage overseas in its proven track record and in its skilled labor force. EEI’s construction materials, which are principally cement, steel plates, steel bars, and occasionally construction equipment and tools, are sourced locally. Imported materials and equipment include steel, electrical and electronic equipment components, lighting fixtures and construction equipment. EEI is not dependent on any one supplier. 18 EEI’s rank and file employees are affiliated to the EEI Progressive Workers Union (NAFLU). Established in 1979, this labor union is the certified exclusive bargaining agent of the rank and file employees. Another labor union, EEI Staff Supervisory Employee Union (APSO, TUCP), was established to become the bargaining agent of the supervisory employees. EEI’s management has maintained good relations with its employees, and has not experienced any strikes or work stoppages since 1977. iPeople, inc. – iPeople was involved in oil exploration and production business. iPeople generated a substantial portion of its revenues from the West Linapacan oilfield. However, due to the fact that it was not financially viable, the oilfield was shut down. The high risk involved in oil exploration made the Management decide to restructure iPeople. The capital restructuring was successfully carried out in 1999 by transferring all of its oil assets to PetroEnergy in exchange of the latter’s shares of stock. Petrofields, now iPeople, acquired MCI on December 21, 1999. iPeople has drawn a general program, which includes improvement of the academic program, institution of a comprehensive faculty development program, advancement of Information Technology and upgrading of school facilities and construction of new buildings. iPeople venture into the New Economy as a holding company was underscored with the change of the company name from Petrofields Corporation to iPeople. The new name reflects the intent to develop both human resource and technology that provide profitable business opportunities in the Information Age. The first strategic step along this new course was the acquisition of MCI. iPeople has three subsidiaries namely: MCI, People eServe Corporation, and IEWorks, Inc. MCI is in the field of education. People eServe is engaged in personal computer (PC) maintenance services and PC reselling operations. IEWorks is engaged in business software development, internet application development and IT staffing services. IEWorks’ shareholders and its board of directors approved the dissolution of the company by shortening its corporate life effective October 31, 2002. iPeople has no principal product, which contributes 10% or more to sales or revenues other than the educational services of MCI. The revenues of iPeople are predominantly denominated in Philippine Pesos. First Malayan Leasing and Finance Corporation (Malayan Leasing) is a pioneer in the leasing and financing industry in the Philippines. Malayan Leasing was incorporated in October 21, 1965. Malayan Leasing became a subsidiary of the HI in November 1995. Malayan Leasing has a Non Banking Quasi Banking (NBQB) license from the BSP, which enables Malayan Leasing to solicit money market placements as the main source of funds. Honda Cars Kalookan, Inc. (HCKI) is a 55%-owned subsidiary of HI by virtue of the merger last December 27, 2002. HCKI is considered part of HI’s car dealerships together with the two divisions (Honda and Isuzu). The primary competitor is the Ayala dealership. The principal source of supply for sale of vehicles and parts is the distributor/assembler, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. The supply for the Honda brands is governed by an existing franchise agreement. The agreement outlines the authority of HCKI to sell Honda vehicles and its corresponding genuine parts and accessories as well as to carry the Honda trademark. HCKI is required to secure a Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) accreditation as a Class “A” Motor Shop and Service provider and a Land and Transportation Office (LTO) accreditation as a Dealer of the Branded Vehicles. HCKI expects no difficulties or problems in securing the said accreditation. Landev Corporation (Landev) Landev, a wholly owned subsidiary of HI is currently into the following business transactions: 19 • • • Property/Facilities Managers for RCBC Plaza, Mapua Campus (Intramuros and Makati), Grepalife, RCBC Head Office, ETY, Y Tower 1 and 2, JAKA 6780 and JAKA 2 Asset Managers (including Marketing/Leasing) for selected Acquired Assets of RCBC (i.e. Carpark Operations at RAMCAR Property), HI and its Subsidiaries and real estate assets of PMMIC.

Landev is actively involved in Asset Disposition/ Leasing of RCBC Acquired Assets and at the same time as broker for Malayan Plaza. Major risk/s involved in each of the businesses of the company and its major subsidiaries HI’s risk factors emanate from the risk factors of its car dealership operations and its major subsidiaries, enumerated below. 1. Car Dealership (includes HCKI) The uncertainty of the imposition of legal/regulatory/political/taxation laws has proven to be a risk factor for the businesses of HI, most especially on the Car Dealership business for the years 2003 and 2004. Regulatory concerns in the form of the imposition of the excise taxes have weighed heavily on the Car Dealership divisions. Since the vehicles are manufactured abroad, the Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risks. Fluctuations in the foreign exchange affect the selling price of the vehicles, which has a direct impact in HI’s financials. The level of consumer spending has an impact on the demand for motor vehicles. GNP and GDP are the main indicators that denote the level of consumer spending which are generally affected by market risks and political risks. 2. EEI Corporation EEI is exposed to market risks that are directly related to the construction industry, in general. Any change in the market’s perception of the industry and the whole economy affects the operations of EEI with respect to selling price and its costs in doing business. Interest rate risks also have an impact in EEI’s financials with its high debt levels. Foreign exchange risks are factors that affect EEI in its importation of its equipment and in its projects abroad. Credit or counter-party risk is also a factor wherein EEI is exposed to with its dealings with its clients here and abroad. 3. iPeople, inc. Capital availability refers to the insufficient or unavailable capital that the iPeople needs to fuel its growth, execute its strategies, and generate financial returns. As a listed company, iPeople also faces “Shareholder/Owner Risks” or the risk that pertains to the decline in investors’ confidence which impairs the company’s ability to efficiently raise capital. 20 There is the risk with the partners involved with iPeople’s various subsidiaries. Possible risks involve inefficient or ineffective alliances, partnering and other external relationships. Ventures into new curriculums / technologies which can reduce investment returns is also a possibility. These risks could affect iPeople’s ability to compete. 4. First Malayan Leasing and Finance Corp. (Malayan Leasing) One of the inherent risks for Malayan Leasing is interest rate risk due the nature of the business of the company. Malayan Leasing’s operations and financials are sensitive to the fluctuation in the interest rates, which have direct impacts on its costs and revenues. Credit Risk is another risk classification that is part of the business of Malayan Leasing. As a lender, Malayan Leasing exposes itself to the risk that its counter-party may default on its payments. Regulatory concerns also weigh on Malayan Leasing since it is in a highly regulated industry. Any adverse change in the regulations by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) may limit the growth potential of Malayan Leasing. In addition to the risks enumerated above, HI and its subsidiaries are also exposed to political risks in its ventures abroad and simply by being entities doing business in the Philippines due to the nature of the political landscape and history of the country. Management of all the risks is effected by applying set procedures and controls and by continuously monitoring and improving the risk management capabilities in business processes through: (1) risk-based audits; (2) review risk management capabilities; and (3) operating performance standards. Item 2. Properties The office space occupied by HI belongs to an affiliate. As a holding company, HI does not utilize significant amounts of office space. The Car Divisions, on the other hand, significantly use leased facilities and real property to sell and service Honda and Isuzu vehicles.

These consist mainly of mortgages on various MIT, EEI, EEI Realty, EEI Power, FMLFC, and HI assets. For additional details on HI and its subsidiaries’ loans payable and long-term debt and the corresponding encumbrances on their assets, refer to Notes 14 (Loans Payable) and 15 (Long-term Debt) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The principal assets reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are registered mainly under HI’s main subsidiaries: namely, those engaged in construction and infrastructure, consumer finance, information technology and education, and car dealerships. As a holding company, HI’s indirect ownership of said properties covers/applies only to the extent of, and is limited by the amount of holdings it has in these subsidiaries. Item 3. Legal Proceedings In October 2001, Metro Pacific Corporation (MPC) filed a complaint for arbitration against SECC with the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission. After presentation of evidence, both testimonial and documentary, to support each other’s claims and counterclaims, the Arbitral Tribunal rendered a decision in October 2002 awarding MPC liquidated damages against SECC in the amount of P617 million plus minor claims amounting to P15 million for a total award of P632 million. SECC, on the other hand, was awarded unpaid balance amounting to P525 million. On April 26, 2006, MPC and SECC entered into a compromise settlement whereby the parties desired to reach full and complete settlement of claims and counterclaims. EEI has substantial claims against various parties in connection with completed projects. Majority of these claims came from the EEI’s various claims for cost of variation orders, time extension, and loss and expense due to prolongation and disturbance costs. Any recoveries from these claims will be reported as income in the year when the realizability of the claims is determined to be virtually certain. There are pending legal cases against EEI that are being contested by EEI and its legal counsels. Management and its legal counsels believe that the final resolutions of these cases will not have a material effect on the financial position and operating results of EEI. 24 MCI is facing various labor lawsuits and disputes. The lawsuits and disputes include case files by Faculty Association of Mapua Institute of Technology (FAMIT) concerning the alleged violation of Collective Bargaining Agreement provisions on the college faculty ranking system and high school salary rate computation. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these lawsuits and disputes will not materially affect the financial position and results of operations of MCI. There are other suits and claims filed for or against certain subsidiaries. Management believes that these suits and claims will ultimately be settled in the normal course of operations and will not adversely affect the subsidiaries’ financial position and operating results.

A cash dividend amounting to P94.64 million was declared on December 7, 2005 payable to preferred shareholders of record as of December 22, 2005. The dividend covered the period October 2004 to December 2005.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines (Philippines GAAP) as set forth in the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) under the historical cost basis, except for land, which is carried at revalued amounts and available for sale securities that have been measured at fair value. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Pesos. Consolidated Revenues (P’000) Amounts of revenue, profitability, and identifiable assets attributable to operations for 2005, 2004, and 2003 follow: Amount in 000’s 2005 Revenues Net Income1 Total Assets Stockholders’ Equity P10,089,156 116,575 11,419,823 2,868,027 2004 (restated) P9,402,375 274,316 11,267,644 3,816,694 2003 P10,778,058 48,262 10,860,127 2,130,769 Top Five Key Performance Indicators Management uses the following indicators to evaluate the performance of HI: 1. Equity in Net Earnings of Investees – represents HI’s share in the undistributed earnings or losses of its investees for each reporting period after the acquisition of said investments, net of amortization of goodwill. Equity in net earnings (losses) of investees indicates the profitability of the investments and the investees’ contribution to HI’s net income. Computation: Investees Net Income (Loss) x Investor’s Percentage Ownership less Goodwill Amortization 2. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) – is calculated as net income before minority interest, net interest expense, income tax expense, amortization and depreciation. It is a tool to determine the ability of HI to generate cash from operations to cover financial charges and income taxes. It is also a measure to evaluate HI’s ability to service its debts. 3. Current Ratio – is a measurement of liquidity, calculated by dividing total current assets by the total current liabilities. It is an indicator of HI’s short-term debt paying ability. The higher the ratio, the more liquid HI is. 4. Debt-to-Equity Ratio – gives an indication of how leveraged HI is. It compares assets provided by creditors to assets provided by shareholders. It is determined by dividing total debt by stockholders’ equity 1 Attributable to equity holders of the parent 28 5. Return on Assets – measures the income earned by shareholders’ investment in the business by dividing net income by the equity.

Financial Overview 2005 vs. 2004 Results of Operations Performance for 2005 declined from the previous year as new accounting standards were adopted. The adoption resulted in significant adjustments such asset recoverability, reclassification of preferred dividends to interest charges, and employee benefits recognition. The information and technology group continued to contribute significantly with a P273 million in net income in 2005. Net income of the information and technology group, however, declined by about P123 from 2004. The construction and infrastructure group ended the year with a P62 million net income from a P3 million net income in 2004. The Company’s preferred shares reclassified as a financial liability resulted in the increasing the Group’s liability by about P803 million. At the same time, one third of the preferred shares were due to be redeemed by the end of 2005. About 382 million preferred shares were eventually redeemed by the shareholders after due notice. HI’s market price ended the year at P0.92 versus the 2004 closing price of P0.71. EEI The generally buoyant construction market, marked by the recovery in the real estate and high-rise property sector, led to positive operating results for the Company in 2005. The Company obtained contracts and orders worth P3.43 billion in 2005, up from P3.08 billion in 2004. EEI continued to capitalize on the high-rise property market with the acquisition of the high-end luxury St. Francis high-rise condominium project and another construction package of Ayala Land’s Serendra development in Fort Bonifacio. The Company also acquired various industrial projects from INCO, PNOC, Hazama, Intel Phils., SMC Magnolia, San Miguel Yamamura, Sankyu-Pilkao and Unilab among others. Major contracts completed and turned over to the project owners during the year included the One-Legaspi Tower, the Globe Asiatique GA Tower, the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas building project and the Malayan Science High School building. The Company is currently engaged in vertical construction activities in The Residences at Greenbelt and Fairways Tower at Fort Bonifacio. Consolidated revenues jumped 42% from P2.93 billion in 2004 to P4.17 billion during the year. Project orders backlog totaled P3.01 billion as of December 31, 2005, by coincidence the same amount last year. The Company gained strides from its cost-management program. Fixed expenses were significantly reduced from P372.10 million in 2004 to P300.20 million in 2005. The drive to improve construction and project management processes likewise yielded dividends with the realization of savings from project expenses, thus increasing project gross margin by 3 to 5%, particularly in industrial, electro-mechanical and shop fabrication projects. The Company should have booked bigger positive earnings but the income was pulled down by the implementation of new Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 32 and 39 for the year in review. 29 Non-recurring gains of P 39 million were likewise booked in 2005 on the sale of 100% of our equity in C & E Corporation, an affiliate where the Company had a minority stake. The Company has aggressively positioned itself in various construction projects. Among the projects identified where the company will participate in 2006 project biddings are expansion plants of food and beverage manufacturers, notably Nestle Philippines, San Miguel Purefoods and Ginebra San Miguel, and industrial projects of JG Summit, Petron, LaFarge, JGC, PASAR, PNOC and KEPCO/Salcon Power. The company will also participate in the major high-rise and commercial property development projects in the pipeline, particularly Greenfield Development IT Center, the GA Tower 2, Philtown’s Metropolitan Tower and Serendra Phase 2 Project. MALAYAN LEASING In 2005, Malayan Leasing registered net losses of P5.99 million, down from a net income of P 10.19 million in 2004. The factors that contributed to the negative bottom line included: • • • • A drop in level of receivables from P 631.92 million in 2004 to P 486.73 million. A deterioration in non-performing loan ratio from 7.4% in 2004 to 28.4%. Higher operating expenses from litigation and documentary stamps. Loan loss provisioning of P 24 million to increase reserves to P 60 million. Total assets dropped by 25% from P952.03 million in 2004 to P712.22 million in 2005. The drop was attributable to: • • A higher loan run-off rate vs. new loan bookings. A decline in acquired assets from P146 million in 2004 to P80 million in 2005. Stockholders equity increased from P262.77 million in 2004 to P282.81 million in 2005 as a result of payment of some subscription receivable. iPEOPLE Total cash dividends of P482.20 million was paid for the year 2005 that caused the decrease in retained earnings from P1.00 billion in 2004 to P0.60 billion in 2005. Correspondingly, decreased total assets by from P3.28 billion as of December 31, 2004 compared to P2.90 billion of December 31, 2005. Total revenues amounted to P1.45 million and P1.35 billion for 2004 and 2005, respectively. The 6.70% change in 2004 as compared to 2005 was contributed mainly by the decrease in revenues of school related operations. HONDA CARS KALOOKAN, INC. (HCKI) Total net sales of P1.1 billion did not match 2004’s net sales of P1.3 billion. Parts sales totaled P25 million and fell short from 2004 parts sales by 4%. However, service revenue summed to P141 million and grew 2% compared to the previous year. Consequently, gross profit added to P105 million, 5% below 2004. Honda Cars Kalookan adopted strict cost control measures. Total operating expenses shrank by 2% from last year, despite an inflation rate averaging well over 6%. Net income came in at P9.5 million. LANDEV CORPORATION In 2005, Landev generated total revenues of P34.1 million, a 5% increase over previous year revenue of P32.7 million. 30 Net income dropped to P2.8 million from P4.6 million. Cause for Material Changes from Period to Period of the Income Statement Total revenues increased to P10.09 billion in 2005 from P9.40 billion in 2004. The 7.34% increase was due to a 13% increase in the Group’s net sales of goods and services or about P946 million The construction and infrastructure group’s revenues rose from about P2.9 billion in 2004 to about P4.4 billion in 2005. This is on account of increased contracts and production orders during the year. Correspondingly, related cost of sales and services increased by almost 13%. Interest and finance charges rose due to the adoption of new accounting standards which required the Company’s preferred dividends to be treated as interest charges. Other charges rose by 33% or P139 million due to the reclassification. Cause for Material Changes from Period to Period of the Balance Sheet Current Assets Temporary Cash Investments increased by 29.40 % from P15.40 million in 2004 to P19.93 million in 2005 due to the available funds for placements exceeding three months. Current portion of loans receivable declined by P77 million or 17% from the previous period as total loans receivables from Malayan Leasing declined. Malayan Leasing had initiated a reduction of long outstanding receivables by undergoing restructuring, sale, and discounting its loans receivables. Accounts Receivables are higher at P1.80 billion as compared to the previous year’s P1.40 billion. The increase of 28% was due to EEI’s higher level of receivables. EEI has experienced increased production and contracts in 2005 than the previous year. Contract Jobs in Progress increased to P957.05 million from last year’s P727.88 million mainly due to a higher volume of contracts. Available-for-sale securities-current portion amounting to P58.48 million was reclassified from the Investment in Shares of Stock-Others account in 2004 due to the adoption of new accounting standards on financial instruments. Due from Related Parties decreased to P116.65 million in 2005 from P132.20 million in 2004 due to intercompany payments to pay off working capital and share in general and administrative costs. Land classified as held for sale amounting to P355 million was the result of EEI reclassifying their Manggahan and Lemery properties to current assets. EEI intends to dispose these parcels of land by 2006. Noncurrent Assets Investment in associates amounting to P669 million in 2005 and in 2004 P642 million. The increase between the intervening period was due to the share in the equity in net earnings of associates under the equity method, net of disposals and dividends received. Available-for-sale securities amounting to P452 million is a portion of the reclassification from Investments in shares of stock – others in 2004 and Available-for-sale securities – current portion in 2005. Property, plant, and equipment decreased to P3.60 billion from P4.03 billion or a decline of 11% was mainly due to the reclassification to land classified as held for sale amounting to P355 million. Loans receivable – net of current portion decreased to P136 million in 2005 from P174 million in 2004 or a decline of 22%. This is related to the decrease in the Current portion of loans receivable account in the current assets section. 31 Deferred income taxes increased from P114 million to P131 million due to the additional deferred tax assets covering additional allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence and other expenses and provisions. Goodwill decreased by 7.71% or P42.62 million due to additional provisions for impairment. Other assets decreased to P190.56 million in 2005 from P340.45 million in 2004, or a 44.03% decrease. This is mainly due to the decrease of Malayan Leasing’s assets held for sale from P133.35 million in 2004 to P77.41 million in 2005. Liabilities Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses registered an 11.47% increase or P284.01 million in 2005 compared to 2004 level primarily due EEI’s increase in trade payables. Also included in this increase is the declaration of dividends for preferred shares amounting to P94.64 million by HI’s Board of Directors. The dividends covered the fourth quarter of 2004 and first to fourth quarters of 2005. Accrued interest increased by P97.60 million from the previous year. Current Portion of Long-Term Debt increased by P155.11 million or 46.31% from P334.91 million in 2004 to P490.02 million in 2005. Long-Term Debt decreased from P1.16 billion in 2004 to P875.16 million in 2005 or a decrease of 24.60%. On the aggregate, total long-term debt decreased by 8.72% or by P130.42 million. The aggregate decrease was mainly due to loans becoming due during the year. Customers’ deposits increased by 61.50% or P150.15 million from P244.14 million in 2004 to P394.29 million in 2005 mainly due to EEI’s increasing number of production orders. Convertible cumulative preferred shares amounting to P299.32 million in the current liabilities section and P576.45 million in the non-current liabilities section pertain to the financial liability component of HI’s preferred shares as required by PAS 39. The reclassification resulted in the decrease of the Company’s capital stock by 44.57% from P1.80 billion in 2004 to P998.39 million in 2005. Due to Related Parties increased by 21.87% or P5.00 million from P22.86 million in 2004 to P27.86 million in 2005 mainly due to accruals and bookings of inter-company liabilities. Income Taxes Payable amounted to P10.08 million in 2005 lower by P10.18 million during the previous year due to a lower taxable base for 2005. Deferred income tax liabilities decreased by 18.40% or P15.63 million from P84.98 million in 2004 compared to P69.35 million in 2005. The decrease is due to the decline in EEI’s deferred tax liabilities covering its revaluation increment in land from P67.71 million in 2004 to P59.45 million in 2005. Stockholders’ Equity Cumulative Translation Adjustment decreased by 30.28% or P9.06 million from P29.91 million in 2004 to P20.86 million in 2005. This pertains to the share of the HI in the cumulative translation adjustment in EEI. Reserve for fluctuation in value of investments in noncurrent marketable equity securities was reclassified to net accumulated unrealized loss in available-for-sale securities in compliance with PAS 32 and PAS 39. The decrease from P108.81 million to P98.26 million was due to better market conditions prevailing at balance sheet date. 32 Financial Condition The consolidated balance sheets continues to improve from previous years as total assets increased to P11.42 billion compared to the previous year of P11.27 billion. Current assets stood at P5.73 billion with about P814.37 million in cash and other liquid investments. • Due to HI’s sound financial condition, there are no foreseeable trends or events which could have material impact on its short-term or long-term liquidity. • Funding will be sourced from internally generated funds and borrowings. • There are no material commitments in capital expenditures other than those performed in the ordinary of trade or business. • There are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact of the net sales, revenues or income from continuing operations. • There are no significant elements of income arising from continuing operations. • There is no material change from period to period in one or more line items of the financial statements. • There are no seasonal aspects that have a material effect on the financial condition or results of HI’s operations.

Additional disclosures required by the new accounting standards were included in the prior year’s financial statements, where applicable. 2004 vs. 2003 Results of Operations HI continued to improve in its performance in 2004. From a net income of P48.26 million (as restated) in 2003, net income jumped to P255.6 million by the end of 2004. The auto industry in general was greatly affected by the entry of European and American car brands. The diverse consumer choices broadened product availability. In addition, car sticker prices correspondingly adjusted with the revised tax scheme for Asian Utility Vehicles (AUVs), which shifted demand to lower margin sedans. The revenue contributions of the car divisions declined to P3.2 billion in 2004 from P4.7 billion in 2003. While gross margins for the car divisions remained steady, their operating expenses decreased by only about P1.6 million. This resulted in a 95% drop of division income from P134.7 million in 2003 to only P6.4 million in 2004. Education and Information Technology made the most significant contributions with a P396.3 million in net income 33 The Construction and Infrastructure Group improved their 2004 performance from a loss of P505.0 million in 2003. It showed a P2.9 million net income. EEI EEI managed to post operating gains in spite of flat topline performance in view of the skewed recovery in the construction market. Overall growth has not been favorable to EEI, which is positioned in the industrial, power, oil and gas sectors. In 2004, EEI posted consolidated revenues of P2.93 billion, practically the same as the P2.74 billion recorded last year. Gross profit, however, improved dramatically from P17.47 million in 2003 to P410.2 million on the back of cost management and recovery efforts. Administrative and overhead expenses in 2004 is P363.84 million from P367.28 million in 2003 despite of the sustained rise in fuel and a new round of wage increase during the year. EEI recorded equity in earnings from affiliates, which the overseas joint venture company contributed and other associate corporations, amounting to P245.7 million compared to the P37.6 million equity net losses in 2003. Thus, from the consolidated net loss before taxes of P505.08 million (as restated) in 2003, EEI ended 2004 with a positive consolidated net income of P2.9 million. Per share data shows an improvement to P0.0031 earnings per share in 2004 from a P0.5413 loss per share in 2003 MALAYAN LEASING Malayan Leasing’s net income dropped to P10.4 million in 2004 from a high of P25.3 million in 2003. The higher cost of borrowings, higher reserve requirements imposed by the BSP, and additional loan loss provisioning to increase reserves contributed to the decrease in net income. Operating expenses were at 35% of total revenues in 2004 compared with the 18% registered in 2003. Malayan Leasing ended 2004 with a ROA of 1% and a ROE of 4%. iPEOPLE iPeople’s consolidated assets increased to P3.27 billion as of December 31, 2004, compared to P2.96 billion as of December 31, 2003. The movement came from the acquisition of two companies, Pan Pacific Computer Center, Inc. with net assets of P3.01 million and Pandacan Properties, Inc. by MIT, a 93% subsidiary, which resulted in the increase in land by P72.48 million. Furthermore, iPeoples’s policy to record the land at revalued amount as an alternative recording allowed by the International Accounting Standard 16 (IAS 16) reflected a revaluation increment of P15.06 million for the year. iPeople provided an allowance for investment losses, which reduced its Investments account from P7.03 million in 2003 to P4.86 million in 2004. iPeople reduced its outstanding loans. Current Loans Payable decreased from P447.27 million in 2003 to P296.6 million while the Long Term Debts, net of current portion decreased from P799.22 million in 2003 to P778.59 million in 2004. iPeople’s retained earnings increased to P1.02 billion as of December 31, 2004 from P0.79 billion on December 31, 2003. The increase was due to the net income of P396.32 million in 2004, net of dividends declared and paid amounting to P172.41 million, and adjustments on the effects of change in accounting for income tax (SFAS 12/ IAS 12) on previous years amounting to P10.78 million. Total revenues amounted to P1.36 billion, P1.32 billion, and P1.26 billion in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The change in 2004 as compared to 2003 was contributed by the newly acquired company , the PPCCI. 34 Cost and Expenses amounted to P0.85 billion, P0.84 billion, and P0.91 billion for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The implementation of cost reduction method of MIT executed in year 2003 is conscientiously practiced. Thus, the increased from P37.14 million in 2003 to P40.35 million in 2004 on cost of sales and increase in depreciation of P100.50 million in 2003 and P111.46 million in 2004 was conveyed by the acquisition of the above mentioned newly acquired company. Other Income (Charges) (net) amounting to (P57.66 million), (P68.67 million), and (P110.84 million) in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, consists mainly of interest expense amounting to P138.15 million, P135.47 million and P176.10 million, respectively, reduced by interest income of P77.55 million, P40.47 million and P31.26 million, respectively. The increase in the interest was due to the proper monitoring and utilization of excess cash and cash equivalents. However, interest expense in 2002 showed a significantly higher amount as compared to 2003 and 2004 because of higher interest rate in 2002 and payment of principal loan in the succeeding years. iPeople’s results of operations showed an income before income tax and minority interest of P454 million, P410.31 million, and P235.00 million in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Because of the increase in its income before income tax, the Company’s provision for income tax also increased to P49.53 million, P45.36 million, and P29.45 million in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Consequently, iPeople’s net income amounted to P205.55 million in 2002, P364.95 million in 2003, and P396.32 million net of minority interest of P8.16 million in 2004. HONDA CARS KALOOKAN, INC. (HCKI) Despite forecast revisions at the start of the second semester of 2004, HCKI missed its targeted sales revenue by 2%. This is due to the weak sales in the last quarter of 2004. Net sales dropped to P1.23 billion in 2004 from P1.6 billion last year. Vehicle sales in 2004 were at P1.09 billion, down by 21% from 2003 while Parts Sales stood at P26.0 million shrinking by 16% against that of last year. Service revenues, however, reached P138.8 million growing by 1% compared to that of the previous year. Total gross profit of P110.9 million for 2004, indicative of the weak sales for most part of the year, was down 8% against the revised 2004 budget and 25% below that of last year. Vehicle sales’ gross profit of P48.7 million was 14% below the revised budget owing to the slow sales in the last quarter, while the gross profit from parts sales was down 3% against budget due to fewer units sold than anticipated. Service revenue gross profits of P56.7 million, while still 3% lower than budget contributed in absorbing the overheads. Cost management of overheads yielded 5% savings in total operating expenses compared to budget. The strict adherence to the agreed promo package and a tight watch on freebies helped the HCKI bring down its promotion expenses by 9% against budget. Maximizing the available manpower and going over each expense with the objective of bringing down cost not only enabled the HCKI to maintain last year’s level but even resulted to a 3% savings against budget. Collateral income posted was at P19 million. It surpassed the budget by 15% but was 15% lower than that of last year. Although sales of new policies dropped by 20%, booking of renewal policies grew by 9% as compared to budget, the commission from bank financing referrals exceeded budget by 5%, and the income derived from sales of LTO services, rust proofing services and sales of pre-owned vehicles exceeded budget by almost P2.3 million. HCKI’s net income for the year of P8.3 million missed the revised budget by 10%. LANDEV CORPORATION Landev posted P25.84 million in total revenues for the year 2004. This is a 37% increase over previous year’s total revenues of P16.29 million. Property and Project Management fees accounted for 69% of Landev’s total revenues, while other operating income contributed 30% and the remaining 1% came from interest income. 35 Cause for Material Changes from Period to Period of the Income Statement Revenues decreased to P9.23 billion in 2004 from P10.78 billion in 2003. The 14.41% decrease was due to the decline in the volume sales of the car dealerships. Stiffer competition, introduction of newer car models, and the entry of more car brands contributed significantly to the decline. Correspondingly, related cost of sales and services declined. The continuous cost management of the HI and its subsidiaries saw a decline in its operating expenses. Cause for Material Changes from Period to Period of the Balance Sheet Current Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents amount to P838.93 million, 41% higher than the previous year’s P596.91 million on account of dividend declarations by investments and affiliates and well as receivable collections. Temporary Cash Investments decreased by 27.19 % from P21.16 million in 2003 to P15.41 million in 2004 due to the lower interest rates for placements exceeding three months. Accounts Receivables are lower at P1.40 billion as compared to the previous year’s P1.71 billion. The decrease of 18% was due to effective collection process as well as the decline in the car dealerships’ revenues. Contract Jobs in Progress increased to P727.88 million from last year’s P301.47 million mainly due to a higher volume of contracts. Receivables from Related Parties decreased to P190.14 million in 2004 from P229.05 million in 2003 due to intercompany payments to pay off working capital and share in general and administrative costs. Land held for sale increase from P492.53 million to P548.64 million is due to the increase in the saleable portion of the development projects undertaken by EEI Realty, on its own or with Greenfield and Robinson’s Homes Incorporated. Noncurrent Assets Investments and advances account increased by 28.93% or from P1.21 billion to P0.94 billion was due to the share in the equity in net earnings of associates under the equity method. Land Held for Development decreased by 49.80% or P72.74 million mainly due to reclassification from noncurrent assets to current assets. Loans Receivables, net of current portion, decreased by 30.26% from P249.81 million in 2003 to P174.21 million in 2004 due to reclassification of receivables becoming due within the year and additional allowance for probable losses. Liabilities Loans Payable decreased by P317.04 million or 9.72% from P3.26 billion in 2003 to P2.95 billion in 2004. The decrease was mainly due to loan amortization payments. Long-term Debt decreased by 14.77% or P265.28 million from P1.80 billion in 2002 to P1.53 billion in 2004 mainly due to direct payments. Current Portion Non-current Portion Total 2004 P370.20 million 1,160.70 P1,530.90 million 2003 P305.78 million 1,490.40 P1,796.18 million 36 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses registered a 16.09% increase or P259.19 million in 2004 compared to 2003 level primarily due EEI’s P300 million increase in trade payables. Income Taxes Payable amounted to P31.62 million in 2004 lower by P11.36 million during the previous years as there was an increase in taxes withheld at source coupled with lower taxable income from the business segments at the 32% corporate tax regime. Due to Related Parties decreased by 21.84% or P6.39 million from P29.25 million in 2003 to P22.86 million in 2004 mainly due to payments of inter-company liabilities. Unearned Tuition Fees increase 485.63% or P104.87 million from P21.59 million in 2003 compared to P126.47 million in 2004. The increase is due to a timing difference of enrollment for the 3rd quarter of school semester 2004-2005, which falls on the last week of December 2004 instead of the regular period of 1st week of January. Deferred tax liabilities increased to P84.98 million from P59.16 million mainly due to the additional revaluation increment in land owned by a subsidiary. Stockholders’ Equity Capital Stock decreased by 14.32% or P301.02 million due to the reduction in the par value of the Company’s common stock in order to wipe out the audited deficit as of December 31, 2003 of P167.23 million. The said reduction resulted in the increase in the Additional Paid-in Capital account. An additional increase of P2.98 million to in Paid-in Capital was also due to the effect of the unrealized gain on the sale of HI’s Malayan Leasing’s interest to an affiliate. Reserve for fluctuation in value of investments decreased by 11.13% or P13.63 million due to appreciation of market values of HI’s marketable equity securities. Cumulative Translation Adjustment increased by 148% or P17.9 million from P12.05 million in 2003 to P29.9 million in 2004. This pertains to the share of the HI in the revaluation increment in property and cumulative translation adjustment in EEI. The Deficit of P167.23 million in 2003 was wiped out and a retained earnings of P261.59 million as of December 31, 2004 was due to the approved reduction of HI’s common stock, the effectivity of new accounting policies, declaration of dividends to preferred shares amounting to P17.98 million, and the audited net income of P274.32 million. Material Off-Balance Sheet Transactions, Arrangements, Obligations, and Other Relationships No material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons were created as of December 31, 2005.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Corporate Information House of Investments, Inc. (the Company or Parent Company) is a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. The Company is an investment and management company. Its primary business is to purchase, hold and sell equity or debt securities issued by individuals, associations, public or private corporations for the purpose of deriving income through dividends or disposals of such investments. One of the Company’s secondary purposes is car dealership. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are described in Note 27. The Company’s subsidiaries and associates are mainly Filipino companies incorporated in the Philippines, except for EEI BVI, which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, Clear Jewel Investments, Ltd., which was incorporated in Equatorial New Guinea, and Al Rushaid Construction Corporation, which was incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Group is a member of the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC). The registered office address of the Company is 3rd Floor, Grepalife Building, 219 Sen. Gil J. Puyat Avenue, Makati City. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (BOD) on March 30, 2006. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Financial Statements Preparation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines (Philippine GAAP) as set forth in Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). These are the Group’s first annual consolidated financial statements prepared in compliance with PFRS. Prior to adoption of PFRS, the Group prepared its consolidated financial statements until December 31, 2004 in compliance with previous GAAP. The Group applied PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS, in preparing its consolidated financial statements with January 1, 2004 as the date of transition. The Group’s PFRS adoption date is January 1, 2005. The Group applied the accounting policies set forth below to all the years presented, except those relating to financial instruments. An explanation of how the transition to PFRS has affected the reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group is provided below. The Group’s financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis, except for land, which is carried at revalued amounts and available for sale securities that have been measured at fair value. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso. *SGVMC107821* -2- Explanation of Transition to PFRS As stated in the preceding paragraphs, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the Group’s first annual consolidated financial statements prepared in compliance with PFRS. The transition to PFRS resulted in certain changes to the Group’s previous accounting policies. The comparative figures for 2004 were restated to reflect the changes in accounting policies discussed below resulting from transition to PFRS, except those relating to financial instruments. The Group has made use of the optional exemption available under PFRS 1, and as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines (SEC), to apply Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, to financial instruments outstanding as of January 1, 2005. The adjustments required for differences between the previous GAAP and PAS 32 and 39 are determined and recognized directly against deficit as of January 1, 2005. New Accounting Standards · PFRS 3, Business Combination, resulted in the cessation of the amortization of goodwill and requires an annual test for goodwill impairment. Any resulting negative goodwill after performing a reassessment is credited to income. Moreover, pooling of interests in accounting for business combination is no longer permitted. The adoption of this accounting standard resulted in the reversal of the amortization of goodwill and recognition of provision for impairment losses on goodwill in 2004 which, correspondingly, increased goodwill and retained earnings by P =10.8 million as of December 31, 2004 and net income by P =10.8 million in 2004. · PFRS 5, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, specifies the accounting for assets held for sale and the presentation and disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. Under this standard, qualifying noncurrent assets or disposal groups held for sale shall be carried at fair value less cost to sell if this amount is lower than its carrying amount. The entity shall not depreciate (or amortize) noncurrent assets (or disposal groups) while classified as held for sale. Any gain or loss on the remeasurement of a noncurrent asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale shall be included in the consolidated statement of income. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of land in 2005 (previously classified as property, plant and equipment) amounting to P =355.2 million to land classified as held for sale. The land is carried at revalued amount which is lower than the fair value less cost to sell. · PAS 19, Employee Benefits, prescribes the accounting and disclosures by employers for employee benefits (including short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, other long-term employee benefits and termination benefits). For post-employment benefits classified as defined benefit plans, the standard requires: (a) the use of the projected unit credit method to measure an entity’s obligations and costs; (b) an entity to determine the present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of any plan assets with sufficient regularity; and (c) the recognition of a specific portion of net cumulative actuarial gains and losses when the net cumulative amount exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation or 10% of the fair value of the plan assets, but also permits the immediate recognition of these actuarial gains and losses. *SGVMC107821* -3- The adoption of this accounting standard resulted in: · An increase in net income by P =7.9 million in 2004; · A decrease in retained earnings by P =37.2 million and P =45.2 million as of December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004, respectively; · An increase in accrued retirement liability by P =91.4 million and P =106.2 million as of December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004, respectively; · An increase in retirement assets by P =15.2 million and P =12.0 million as of December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004, respectively; and · A decrease in minority interest by P =39.0 million and P =49.0 million as of December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004, respectively; · PAS 32 covers the disclosure and presentation of all financial instruments. This standard requires more comprehensive disclosures about the Group’s financial instruments, whether recognized or unrecognized in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with this standard, new disclosures were included in the consolidated financial statements, where applicable. This standard also requires financial instruments to be classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with their substance and not their legal form. · PAS 39 establishes the accounting and reporting standards for recognizing and measuring the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities. PAS 39 also covers the accounting for derivative instruments. The standard has expanded the definition of a derivative instrument to include derivatives (derivative-like provisions) embedded in non-derivative contracts. Under PAS 39, in determining whether a financial asset is impaired, reference is made to quoted market rates; in the absence of such quoted market rates, the discounted cash flow method is to be used. The adoption of PAS 32 and PAS 39 resulted in: a) The reclassification of the debt component of the preferred shares to financial liability. As discussed in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company issued preferred shares that are redeemable and convertible to common shares of the Company at the option of the preferred shareholders. Under PAS 32, the redeemable convertible preferred shares qualify as a financial liability and should be accounted for as part of the Company’s liabilities at amortized cost. The Company computed the fair value of the liability component using the prevailing market rate for an equivalent non-redeemable bond at the time of the issuance of the redeemable preferred shares. The resulting amount represents the component of the preferred shares that exhibits characteristics of a financial liability and should be carried as part of the liabilities at amortized cost until redemption (or conversion since the preferred shares were also issued with a conversion option). Accordingly, the Company reclassified the financial liability component of these preferred shares amounting to about P =802.6 million as of January 1, 2005 from stockholders’ equity to liabilities. The remaining amount in the preferred shares under its stockholders’ equity amounting to =95.3 million represents the equity component of the preferred shares. This includes the P embedded conversion option. *SGVMC107821* -4- As of January 1, 2005, the Company’s accumulated dividends declared on the financial liability component of the preferred shares amounted to P =18.0 million; while the accretion of the unamortized discount as well as the cumulative dividends accruing on the preferred stock from the time of issuance up to January 1, 2005 amounted to P =196.6 million. The difference representing the unrecorded accumulated interest expense on the financial liability component of the preferred shares amounting to about P =178.6 million as of January 1, 2005 was charged to the beginning balance of its retained earnings as of that date. Likewise, the accretion as well as the cumulative dividends accruing on these preferred shares amounting to P =104 million in 2005 was recognized as part of interest expense for the year. b) Remeasurement of long-term receivables at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. c) Reclassification of the other investments in shares of stock to available-for-sale securities and the valuation reserve to net accumulated unrealized loss in available-for-sale securities in the stockholders’ equity account. · PAS 40, Investment Property, prescribes the accounting treatment for investment property and related disclosure requirements. This standard permits the entity to choose either the fair value model or cost model in accounting for investment property. Fair value model requires an investment property to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized directly in the consolidated statements of income. Cost model requires that an investment property should be measured at depreciated cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The Group adopted the cost model in accounting for its investment property. The effect of adopting this standard resulted in the reclassification, with no change in carrying amount, of land classified under property, plant and equipment and real and other properties owned or acquired carried at cost amounting to P =100.2 million and P =156.1 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, into investment property.

Required disclosures were included in the consolidated financial statements where appropriate. *SGVMC107821* -6- There were no options granted after November 7, 2002. Likewise, there were no options that had not vested as of January 1, 2004. Correspondingly, as allowed by PFRS 2, Share-Based Payments, the Group did not apply PFRS 2 as options were granted before these dates. The Group did not early adopt the revised disclosure requirements of the following standards and amendments that have been approved but are not yet effective: · PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, will be included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements when it adopts the standard in 2007. · PFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Disclosures will be included in the Group’s financial statements when it adopts the standard in 2006. · Amendments to PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures, will be included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements when the amendments are adopted in 2006.

ZIFC and FMLFC were consolidated since the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies through representation by the majority members of the Board of Directors. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. *SGVMC107821* -8- Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the cost of investment is increased or decreased by the equity in the associates’ net earnings or losses since the dates of acquisitions and reduced by dividends received. Unrealized intercompany profits are eliminated up to the extent of the proportionate share thereof. Investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method are as follows: Associates and Joint Ventures EEI-E.E. Black, Ltd., A Joint Venture ECW Joint Venture Inc. Hi-Eisai Pharmaceutical, Inc.1 Al Rushaid Construction Corporation (ARCC) SAEI-EEI Construction Corporation (SECC) La Funeraria Paz Sucat, Inc. (LFPSI) T’boli Agro-Industrial Development, Inc.

Likewise the Company sold its 0.1% shares in Hi-Eisai to Eisai Co., Ltd. Correspondingly, in 2004, investment in Hi-Eisai was accounted for under equity method. 2 The Company has more than 20% effective interest in SWCC since LLDC (in which the Company has 25% interest) has more than 50% interest in SWCC. 3 In 2005, EEI sold its interest in C & E Corporation. *SGVMC107821* -9- Financial Instruments Accounting Policies Effective January 1, 2005 Investments and Other Financial Assets Financial assets within the scope of PAS 39 are classified as either (a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, (b) loans and receivables, (c) held-to-maturity investments, and (d) available-for-sale securities, as appropriate. When these are recognized initially, financial assets are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, reevaluates this designation at each financial year-end. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Financial assets held for trading are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The Group has no financial assets at FVPL as of December 31, 2005. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The Group’s loans and receivables principally include trade receivables, contracts receivables, retention receivables, and advances to suppliers and contractor. Held-to-Maturity (HTM) Investments These represent quoted non-derivative financial resources with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities for which the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. The Group has no HTM investments as of December 31, 2005. Available-for-sale (AFS) securities Available-for-sale securities are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three other categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the stockholders’ equity is included in the consolidated statements of income. If the fair market value of the unquoted equity instruments under AFS cannot be reliably measured, the financial asset is carried at cost less allowance for impairment loss, if any. AFS securities which are expected to be sold within twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified under current assets. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. AFS includes securities previously classified as other investments in shares of stock. *SGVMC107821* - 10 - Due to Preferred Stockholders This represents the debt component of the redeemable convertible preferred stock of the Company. As discussed in Note 28, the preferred shares can be redeemed at the option of the holder. Under PAS 32, this financial instrument qualifies as a financial liability. Due to preferred stockholders is carried at amortized cost and classified as part of the Group’s liabilities. Accordingly, the cumulative dividends on the preferred stock dividends are treated as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The computed discount at the time of issuance is amortized and recognized as interest expense over the term of the preferred stock based on the effective interest rate method. Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where a) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; b) 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 a third party under a pass-through arrangement; or c) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (i) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the 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 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 is discharged or cancelled or expires. 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 amount is recognized in income. Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and the liability simultaneously. Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. *SGVMC107821* - 11 - Assets carried at amortized cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the 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 (that is, the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the consolidated statements of income. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. 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 cannot be reliably measured, 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 for a similar financial asset. Available-For-Sale Securities (AFS) If an available-for-sale securities is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortization) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in income, is transferred from the stockholders’ equity to the consolidated statements of income. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale securities are not recognized in income. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through income, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in consolidated statements of income. Accounting Policies Prior to January 1, 2005 Marketable securities Investments in marketable securities classified as current are stated at the lower of the aggregate cost or market value, determined at balance sheet dates. The amount by which aggregate cost exceeds market value is accounted for as a valuation allowance. Changes in the valuation allowance are included in income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of current marketable securities are also included in income. Investments in marketable securities classified as noncurrent are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. The excess of cost over market value of noncurrent marketable securities is charged to “Reserve for fluctuation in value of investment in noncurrent marketable equity securities” account shown under the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. *SGVMC107821* - 12 - Receivables from Customers and Allowance for Probable Losses Receivables from customers are stated at the outstanding principal balance reduced by allowance for probable losses. Allowance for probable losses is established for estimated losses on receivables from clients and foreclosed collaterals. Allowance for probable losses is established on estimated losses based on periodic examination and evaluation by management of existing risks and affecting the assets and collections and loss experience of the Group. Bad debts are written off when identified. Other investments Other investments in shares of stock are carried at cost less allowance for permanent decline in value of investments. Preferred shares Preferred shares are stated at par value and presented under the capital stock account in the consolidated balance sheet. Long-term Receivables Long-term receivables are stated at face value, less any allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV). Cost of inventories is generally determined primarily using the moving-average method, except for certain parts and supplies, which are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method and for automotive units which is accounted for using the specific identification method. NRV is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion of inventories and the estimated costs necessary to sell. Land Classified as Held for Sale Land classified as held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less cost to sell. Other Assets Classified as Held for Sale Other assets held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less cost to sell. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment loss, if any, except for land which is carried at revalued amount. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following average estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements Power plant Machinery, tools and construction equipment Transportation and service equipment Furniture, fixtures and office equipment Library books 10 - 20 years 15 years 5 - 10 years 4 - 5 years 2 - 10 years 5 years *SGVMC107821* - 13 - Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed over the estimated useful life of the improvement or term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period and method of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment. Minor repairs and maintenance costs are charged to consolidated statements of income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of the cost, appraisal increase and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, plant 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. Investment properties Investment properties are measured 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. Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the year of retirement or disposal. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An assets’ recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable *SGVMC107821* - 14 - amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in income. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the development of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded. Borrowing costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Revenue and Cost Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Construction contracts Revenues from construction contracts are recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are generally measured on the basis of estimated completion of the physical proportion of the contract work. Revenues from labor supply contracts with project management and supervision are recognized on the basis of man-hours spent. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor costs and indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately when it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenues. The amount of such loss is determined irrespective of: (a) whether or not work has commenced on the contract, (b) the stage of completion of contract work; or (c) the amount of profits expected to arise on other contracts. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from penalty provisions and final contract settlements, which may result in revisions to estimated costs and gross margins, are recognized in the year in which the changes are determined. The contract jobs in progress account represents contract costs and estimated gross margin on uncompleted contracts for billing. Contract retentions are included in the contracts receivable account, which is shown as part of the receivables account in the consolidated balance sheets. Merchandise sales Revenue from merchandise sales is normally recognized when the buyer accepts delivery and when installation and inspection are complete. However, revenue is recognized immediately upon the buyer’s acceptance of delivery when the installation process is simple in nature. Service and commission income Service and commission income are recognized as the related services are rendered. *SGVMC107821* - 15 - Real estate sales Sales of developed lots and residential units, where there are material obligations under the sales contracts to provide improvements after the property is sold, are accounted for under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, the gain on sale is recognized as the related obligations are fulfilled. Cost of developed lots and residential units sold before the completion of the development is determined on the basis of the actual development costs incurred plus estimated development costs to complete the project. Income on sale of raw parcels of land with no future obligation to develop the property is based on the difference between the selling price and actual cost of the property. Interest income Interest income is recognized as revenue as interest accrues. Revenues from school operations are recognized over the corresponding school term. Unearned revenues are shown as unearned tuition fees in the consolidated balance sheets. Rent income is accounted on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Management, service and consultancy fees are recognized as services are rendered. Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the consolidated financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency closing rate at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. *SGVMC107821* - 16 - The functional currency of EEI-BVI and Clear Jewel, foreign subsidiaries, is the United States Dollar. As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (the Philippine Peso) at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and the consolidated statements of income are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of stockholders’ equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in stockholders’ equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Retirement Cost The Group’s retirement expense is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the current service cost is the present value of retirement benefits payable in the future with respect to services rendered in the current period. The accrued retirement liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet is the present value of benefits payable in the future with respect to services rendered to date and unrecognized actuarial gains and losses reduced by the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligation are to be settled directly. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses of the plan at the end of the previous reporting year exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These actuarial gains and losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Income Tax Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, including asset revaluations. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused MCIT and NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures. With respect to investments in foreign subsidiaries, associates and interest in joints ventures, deferred tax liabilities are recognized except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. *SGVMC107821* - 17 - The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be used. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax relating to items directly recorded in the stockholders’ equity is recognized in the stockholders’ equity and not in the consolidated statements of income. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes relate to the same entity and the same taxation authority. Leases Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company is computed based on weighted average number of issued and outstanding common shares after giving retroactive effect for any stock dividends. There are no dilutive potential common shares that would require disclosure of diluted earnings per share in the consolidated financial statements. Provisions Provisions are recognized when (a) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingencies 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. A contingent asset is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. *SGVMC107821* - 18 - Stock Option Plan No benefit expense are recognized relative to stock options granted. When options are exercised, these are treated as capital stock issuances. The stock option plan is exempt from PFRS 2. Subsequent Events Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s situation at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material. 3. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with PFRS requires the Group to make estimates and 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 can cause the assumptions used in arriving at those estimates to change. The effects of any changes in estimates will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements as they become reasonably determinable. 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. PAS 1, which was adopted by the Group effective January 1, 2005, requires disclosures about key sources of estimation and judgments management has made in the process of applying accounting policies. The following presents a summary of these significant accounting judgments and estimates: Estimating allowance for doubtful accounts The Group maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the length of the Group’s relationship with the customer, the customer’s payment behavior and known market factors. The Group reviews the age and status of receivables, and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowances on a continuous basis. The amount of timing and recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Group made different judgments or utilized different estimates. An increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts would increase recorded operating expenses and decrease current assets. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to P =263.4 million and P =273.4 million in 2004 and 2005, respectively (Note 6). *SGVMC107821* - 19 - Estimating useful lives of property and equipment The Group estimated the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The Group reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the factors that include asset utilization, internal technical evaluation, technological changes, environmental and anticipated use of the assets tempered by related industry benchmark information. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease noncurrent assets. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the net book value of the depreciable property, plant and equipment amounted to P =1.1 billion and P =1.2 billion, respectively (see Note 10). Asset impairment The Group assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: · Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; · Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and · Significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the consolidated financial statements. Retirement benefits The determination of the obligation and cost of retirement benefits is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates, expected returns on plan assets and salary increase rates. In accordance with PAS 19, actual results that differ from the Group’s assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. While the Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions may materially affect the pension and other retirement obligations. Unrecognized actuarial losses amounted to P =39.3 million and P =5.1 million as of December 31 2005 and 2004, respectively (Note 23). *SGVMC107821* - 20 - Deferred income tax assets The Group reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income taxes at each balance sheet date and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. However, there is no absolute assurance that each legal entity in the Group will generate sufficient taxable profit to allow all or part of its deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets recognized amounted to P =131.0 million and P =114.3 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively (Note 24). Contingencies The Group is currently involved in various proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 26). 4.

The amount is payable in 24 monthly installments, inclusive of principal and interest at 12% per annum. Time loan principals are collectible in full at maturity date while interests are due monthly or at maturity. The term of the loan ranges from one to twelve months. Lease contracts receivable pertain to the cost of the leased equipment, net of its estimated residual value of P =50.9 million and P =70.2 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Upon delivery of the leased equipment, the lessee is required to make a deposit which serves as guaranty for the performance of the obligations under the lease contract. The deposit is refundable to the lessee upon the expiration of the lease provided the lessee returns the unit leased. Deposits on lease contracts as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 amount to P =51.0 million and P =71.2 million, respectively. These deposits, net of residual value of leased equipment are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities. The term of the lease ranges from 24 to 60 months. Loans, whose principal terms and conditions have been modified in accordance with a restructuring agreement setting forth a new plan of payment or a schedule of payment on a periodic basis, are reclassified as restructured loans. *SGVMC107821* - 22 - In 2004, FMLFC foreclosed and attached real estate asset (included under other noncurrent assets as assets held for sale) to cover restructured loans with a total of P =37.3 million.

Sale of nine parcels of land with a total area of 133,550 square meters by EEI Realty to Greenfield. Payment terms include the turnover of certain developed lots from the nine parcels of land. In 2003, eleven developed lots valued at P =48.2 million were transferred to EEI Realty as part of this arrangement. ii. Contribution of parcels of land with a total area of 111,906 square meters by EEI Realty, as its participating interest, in a joint venture project with Greenfield. Under the terms of the agreement, EEI Realty’s net landowner’s interest shall be in the form of developed lots for the residential component and golf club shares for the golf course component, and shall be allocated at 30% for EEI Realty and 70% for Greenfield. b. On April 24, 1998, EEI Realty entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with RHI to contribute certain parcels of land to the JV for development by RHI into a residential subdivision. Under the JV agreement, the share of EEI Realty and RHI on the saleable lots shall be 40% and 60%, respectively. EEI Realty granted RHI the exclusive right to construct housing units on EEI Realty’s share of the saleable lots from the JV project and construction of the housing units shall be solely for RHI’s account. EEI Realty also granted RHI the exclusive marketing rights over its share of the saleable lots from the JV project. EEI Realty shall reimburse RHI for marketing and administration expense of 10% of the lot selling price deductible from EEI Realty’s share on every lot sold. *SGVMC107821* - 25 - In consideration of EEI Realty’s entering into the JV Agreement, RHI granted EEI Realty =50.0 million as non-interest bearing cash advance. The cash advance shall be liquidated P using the proceeds from sale of the lots allocated to EEI Realty. In 2000, the JV started selling developed lots, the proceeds of which were deducted from the cash advance. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the outstanding balance of the cash advance, which is shown as part of Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, amounted to P =38.9 million. On July 11, 2005, EEI Realty and RHI mutually agreed to reduce the JV area from 72.79 hectares to 12.89 hectares. The share of EEI Realty and RHI on the saleable lots shall be 25% and 75%, respectively, starting May 1, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the JV area is still being managed by RHI, while the remaining area has been turned over to EEI Realty. c. EEI Realty has an ongoing project in Suburbia East, Marikina. The master plan for the 98,009 square meters property project was completed and the development permit application for the subdivision plan was approved on September 14, 2000 by the city government of Marikina. On May 2, 2002 the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board issued a Certificate of Registration and License to Sell to EEI Realty for the sale of saleable lots/units with lots in Suburbia East Phase I. Phase I development work has been completed. 8.

Commitments and Contingencies Significant commitments of the Company and its subsidiaries include the following: A. Surety Arrangement and Guarantees a. EEI is a corporate guarantor of credit facilities in favor of AlBank AlSaudi AlFransi for the account of its associate, ARCC, for its Saudi Arabia construction projects up to the extent of EEI’s ownership in ARCC. On February 18, 2004, EEI executed a Deed of Guaranty and Indemnity to AlBank AlSaudi AlFransi for the credit facilities granted to ARCC amounting to SR59.2 million. This guarantee superseded the Deed of Guaranty and Indemnity dated November 7, 2002. On February 5, 2005 EEI executed a Deed of Guaranty and Indemnity to AlBank AlSaudi AlFransi for the credit facilities granted to ARCC amounting to SR27.9 million. This guarantee superseded the Deed of Guaranty and Indemnity dated February 18, 2004. b. EEI is contingently liable for guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business, including performance, surety and warranty bonds for various construction projects amounting to P =1.3 billion as of December 31, 2005. B. Sale and Construction of Power Stations EEI Power sells its one-megawatt bunker C fuel power station for a period of 15 years until 2009, renewable every five years thereafter. The buyer, at its option, may also buy the power station commencing at the end of the fifth year at a price to be agreed upon by both parties. *SGVMC107821* - 39 - C. Standby Letters of Credit EEI has outstanding irrevocable domestic standby letters of credit amounting to P =49.0 million in 2005 and P =87.0 million in 2004 from local banks which are used for bidding and as guarantee for the downpayments received from its ongoing construction projects. D. Contingencies a. In October 2001, Metro Pacific Corporation (MPC) filed a complaint for arbitration against SECC with the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission. After presentation of evidence, both testimonial and documentary, to support each other’s claims and counterclaims, the Arbitral Tribunal rendered a decision in October 2002 awarding MPC liquidated damages against SECC in the amount of P =617.0 million plus minor claims amounting to P =15.0 million for a total award of P =632.0 million. SECC, on the other hand, was awarded unpaid balance amounting to P =525.0 million. On April 26, 2005, MPC and SECC entered in to a compromise settlement whereby the parties desired to reach full and complete settlement of claims and counterclaims. b. EEI has substantial claims against various parties in connection with completed projects. Majority of these claims came from EEI’s various claims for cost of variation orders, time extension, and loss and expense due to prolongation and disturbance costs. Any recoveries from these claims will be reported as income in the year when the realizability of the claims is determined to be virtually certain. c. There are pending legal cases against EEI that are being contested by EEI and its legal counsels. Management and its legal counsels believe that the final resolutions of these cases will not have a material effect on the financial position and operating results of EEI. d. MCI is facing various labor lawsuits and disputes. These matters include a case filed by the Faculty Association of Mapua Institute of Technology concerning the alleged violation of Collective Bargaining Agreement provisions on the college faculty ranking system and high school salary rate computation. As allowed under Philippine GAAP, certain information are not presented as they may impact the outcome of the case. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these lawsuits and disputes will not materially affect the financial position and results of operations of MCI. e. There are other lawsuits and claims filed for or against certain subsidiaries. Management believes that these lawsuits and claims will ultimately be settled in the normal course of operations and will not adversely affect the Group’s financial position and operating results. *SGVMC107821* - 40 - 27.

Preferred shareholders shall have voting rights and shall have preference as to assets upon dissolution of the Company over common shareholders. In light of the foregoing, the redeemable convertible preferred shares qualify as a financial liability as defined under PAS 32. At the option of the holders, the Group is contractually obligated to deliver cash in exchange for the instrument within a period of five years from the date of issuance. Accordingly, the preferred shares are treated as a financial liability and measured at amortized cost. As of January 1, 2005, as allowed under PAS 32, the Group reclassified preferred stock amounting to about P =803 million representing the debt component of the preferred shares classified as due to preferred stockholders. *SGVMC107821* - 43 - The remaining amount in the preferred shares under its stockholders’ equity amounting to P95.3 million represents the equity component of the preferred shares. This includes the embedded conversion option. As of March 30, 2006, the Company redeemed a total of 382,139,874 preferred shares at P =0.40 per share. 29. Lease Agreements The Group leases parcels of land where their respective sales office, administrative and warehouse buildings were constructed and are currently located.

Financial Instruments Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents, available-forsale securities, bank loans and long-term debt. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finances for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. *SGVMC107821* - 45 - The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, and foreign currency risk. The BOD reviews and agrees on the policies for managing these risks, summarized as follows: Liquidity Risk Short-term funding is obtained to finance cash requirements for operations. Credit lines are obtained from BOD-designated banks at amounts based on financial forecasts approved by BOD. Foreign Currency Risk Currency risk is the potential decline in the value of the financial instruments due to exchange rate fluctuations. Exposure to currency risk arises mainly when receivables and payables are denominated in a currency other than the Group’s functional currency or will be denominated in such a currency in the planned course of business. Foreign currency risk is monitored and analyzed systematically and is managed centrally by the central finance department. The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within existing regulations, and within acceptable risk limits. The Group believes in ensuring that its foreign currency is at all times within limits prescribed for companies which are engaged in the same types of businesses. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities relate to long-term debt due to Credit Lyonnais amounting to Euro 795,061 and Euro 1,409,557 which is equivalent to P =50.0 million and P =108.0 million, respectively. Interest Rate Risk The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s short-term and long-term obligations. The following table sets out the carrying amount (in thousands), by maturity, of the Group’s financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk: TOTAL Below 1 Year 1-2 Years 2-3 Years 3-4 Years 4-5 Years Over 5 Years In Php Liabilities: Loans payable Interest rate P2,924,683,749 = 11% to 14.25% =– P – =– P – =– P – =– P – =– P – =2,924,683,749 P – Long-term debt Interest rate 490,024,520 7% - 15% 875,158,737 7% - 15% – – – – 1,365,183,257 299,322,746 91-day T-bill rate plus 2% 576,451,865 91-day T-bill rate plus 2% – – – – 875,774,611 – =3,714,031,015 P = P1,451,610,602 =– P =– P =– P =– P =5,165,641,617 P Convertible cumulative preferred shares Interest rate Total *SGVMC107821* - 46 - In order to effectively manage its interest rate risk and its financing costs, the Group closely monitors the movements of interest rates, as well as, economic factors affecting the trends of these movements. In certain cases, depending on its assessment of future movements of interest rates, the Group would pre-terminate its debt and obtain a new loan facility which provides for either floating or fixed interest rates. This is intended to minimize its financing costs. Credit risk The Group’s exposure to credit risk on its receivables relates primarily to the inability of the debtors to pay and fully settle the unpaid balance of receivables owed to the Group.
