Item 1. Business

A. Description of Business

(1) Business Development

Alaska Milk Corporation (AMC) was incorporated in September 26, 1994, but operations
began as early as 1972, through a company called Holland Milk Products, Inc. (HOMPI).
HOMPI was a partnership between a Dutch dairy company, Holland Canned Milk
International B.V., and General Milling Corporation (GMC), an industrial foods company
with interests in flour, feeds and soy bean milling which was founded by current AMC
Chairman Mr. Wilfred Uytengsu, Sr.

HOMPI initially manufactured liquid canned milk (evaporated and sweetened condensed
milk) and UHT ready-to-drink milk in the 1970s and later expanded to powdered filled
milk in the 1980s under the brand ALASKA. Alaska milk products were distributed
nationwide through a third party distributor, Alaska Trading Co., Inc. (ATCI).

HOMPI’s operations were subsequently merged with GMC and operated as its milk
product division. With the rapid growth of the milk business, the milk division was later
spun off as a separate and independent entity and incorporated as Alaska Milk Corporation
in September 1994. In January 1995, AMC shares were listed in the Philippine Stock
Exchange (PSE). As GMC was primarily focused in industrial foods, GMC eventually
divested its interest in AMC in 1998, with the Uytengsu family, together with strategic
partners retaining majority ownership in AMC.

With the continued growth of the milk business and realizing the importance of distribution
in further expanding markets, AMC absorbed all of the selling and distribution operations
of ATCI. The Company has since reorganized its own selling and distribution network and
it was at this time that AMC was chosen by Nabisco International and Quaker Oats, Inc. to
be its exclusive distributor of Nabisco and Quaker Oats products, respectively, in the
Philippines. However, both exclusive distribution agreements were terminated in 2001
following the worldwide acquisition by Philip Morris and Pepsi Co. of Nabisco
International and Quaker Oats, Inc., respectively. The disengagement, in turn, put greater
focus on the selling and distribution of the core Alaska milk products, which generated
higher margins for the Company.

Today, AMC offers a wide range of milk products beyond the traditional canned
evaporated filled and sweetened condensed filled milk, powdered filled milk and plain and
chocolate-flavored UHT milk in Tetra briks. In 2003, the Company introduced an
evaporated creamer to complete a value line of liquid canned milk, and repackaged the
classic line of evaporated and sweetened condensed filled milk in UHT Tetra briks to offer
greater convenience to consumers. In line with its long-term thrust to expand into other
categories within the dairy industry, the Company launched in 2003 a UHT-processed All-

4
Purpose Cream – Alaska Crema. Primarily a culinary product, Alaska Crema complements
the Company’s line of cooking milk and enhances the taste of a variety of food
preparations. In 2008, Alaska Yoghurt Drink, a dairy beverage drink cultured with yoghurt
starters, was launched, further expanding the Company’s product portfolio in the ready-to-
drink segment.

In line with the Company’s strategy to broaden its revenue based through a portfolio of
leading brands, Alaska Milk Corporation signed in May 2005 an agreement with Kellogg’s
Asia Marketing Inc. to exclusively distribute Kellogg’s line of ready-to-eat cereals in the
Philippines. Also, from 2004 to 2006, Alaska Milk Corporation was the licensee of
Hershey Foods Corporation for the Hershey UHT chocolate milk drink in the Philippines.

The Company has further strengthened its core business by acquiring / licensing the entire
liquid canned milk business of Nestle in 2007. Today, AMC has a dominant position in the
liquid milk category, accounting for about 80% of the market.

(2) Business of Issuer

(a) Description of Registrant

(i) Principal Products, Markets and Revenue Contribution

Alaska has three principal lines of business: liquid canned milk (evaporated and
sweetened condensed milk), powdered filled milk, UHT / Ready-to-Drink
(RTD) milk (fresh, low-fat and chocolate-flavored) and UHT / Ready-to-Use
All-Purpose Cream which are all marketed under the ALASKA brand name. In
April 16, 2007, AMC acquired the Alpine, Liberty and Krem-Top brands,
including all trademark properties, from global food giant Société Des Produits
Nestlé S.A.. Also included in the deal is a long-term licensing agreement for
AMC to manufacture and sell the Carnation and Milkmaid brands for liquid
canned milk products.

Based on independent market research, the domestic milk market was estimated
at P53.5 billion in 2008, broadly dividend into Dietetics (infant formula,
growing-up milk, adult nutrition), Powdered Milk (full cream and filled-milk),
Liquid Milk (evaporated milk / creamers and condensed milk / creamers), UHT
/ Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Milk and Non-Fat / Skim Milk. Among the five (5)
categories enumerated, Alaska Milk Corporation competes in three (3)
categories, namely Powdered Milk, Liquid Milk and RTD Milk. The Dietetics
and Non-Fat Milk Categories are largely dominated by multinational companies
(e.g. Wyeth, Mead-Johnson’s, Nestle, Abbott).

In 2008, retail consumption of liquid canned milk and powdered milk products
registered declines year-on-year as consumers put a tighter rein of spending on
account of rising food and fuel prices amidst an economic slowdown. The
contraction of the Evaporated Milk Market was influenced in part by an
unusually short summer period which affected overall demand for cold

5
 beverages. The Condensed Milk Market, on the other hand, declined at a much
slower rate due to the strong off-take of the economy brands. The Powdered
Milk Market likewise contracted as consumers downsize their consumption to
the smaller and more affordable pack sizes.

The liquid canned milk business accounted for about 60% of the Company’s
total revenues while powdered filled milk accounted for over 30%. The balance
of the revenues was accounted for by UHT products and by Kellogg’s ready-to-
eat cereals.

(ii) Percentage of Revenues and Net Income Contributed by Foreign Sales

All of the Company’s products are distributed and sold within the Philippines.
While there were some export sales made to foreign countries in 2008, these
contributed less than 1% to the Company’s total revenues and net income.

(iii) Distribution Methods

The Company has eleven (11) warehouses 3 coordinated by one main Logistics /
Distribution Center in San Pedro, Laguna. The Company sells its products
primarily to supermarkets, as well as directly to large wholesalers, convenience
stores and regional distributors, which in turn sell the products to other small
retailers and down-line accounts (market stalls and sari-sari stores). The
Company’s products are sold to more than 250,000 outlets in the Philippines
through its direct sales force and regional distributors.

(iv) Status of Publicly-Announced New Products

The Company intends to continuously introduce innovative new products and

line extensions in the dairy segment. In 2008, Alaska Yoghurt Drink, an
alternative ready-to-drink beverage cultured with yoghurt starters, was launched
in the market.

(v) Competition

The Company’s main competitor is Nestle Philippines, Inc. (Nestle). Nestle, a

leading multinational corporation is ranked one of the top corporations in the
Philippines. Nestle is a market leader in a variety of consumer food categories.
It competes in the powdered milk and UHT milk categories. For powdered
milk, Nestle’s primary brands are Nido and Bear Brand while for the UHT
ready-to-drink milk, their brands are Nestle and Chuckie. Nestle remains and
will continue to be a strong competitor in these markets, especially with its
strong brands and global capabilities. San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has re-
introduced in the market the Magnolia ready-to-drink UHT milk line (Magnolia
Fresh Milk, Magnolia Low-Fat Milk and Magnolia Chocolait), capitalizing on
3
Inclusive of liquid milk, powdered milk and UHT products finished goods warehouse in San Pedro, Laguna.

6
 the brand’s heritage in the dairy industry. Snow Mountain Dairy Corp., a local
company, is also an active participant in the domestic milk market with products
marketed under the Angel brand (Evaporated Filled Milk, Evaporada and
Condensada). There are a number of other milk brands available in the market,
mostly imported, which do not constitute a substantial part of the market.

Competition among brands rests first and foremost on product quality, brand
history and recognition as well as the ability to distribute products nationwide.
While price has not been a platform for competition among major brands, the
difficult economic condition has driven consumers to be more price and value
conscious in their purchase of milk products. The new entrants have also been
aggressive in their pricing and promotions.

Alaska has competed effectively in the market despite the presence of

multinational corporations. A nationwide distribution network, supported with
innovative and cost-effective advertising strategies, enable Alaska to compete
effectively against multinational milk manufacturers. Alaska milk products are
generally priced at parity with that of its major competitor. Alaska milk
products are distributed and sold nationwide through wholesalers, distributors,
supermarkets, groceries and convenience / sari-sari stores all over the country.
Alaska holds a formidable position in the liquid canned milk and has steadily
grown its market share in the powdered milk category.

(vi) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

The primary raw material required for the manufacture of the Company’s
products is skimmed milk powder (SMP) in various types, namely: Heat Stable,
Medium Heat and Buttermilk. The bulk of SMP requirements are imported
from Australia and New Zealand. Some SMP are also sourced from the U.S.
and Europe. The Company has developed strong relationships with its supplier.

Tinplates are the next major material. These are sourced primarily from Korea
as well as from China and Japan. Other packaging materials as well as other
ingredients (i.e. sugar, coconut oil, vitamins, etc.) used in the manufacture of
milk are sourced from domestic suppliers.

There are alternative suppliers and supplier countries for both SMP and tinplates
as well as for locally-sourced processing and packaging materials. Thus, AMC
is not dependent upon one or a few suppliers for these essential raw and
packaging materials.

(vii) Dependence on Major Customers

Alaska is not dependent upon a single customer or a few customers that a loss of
anyone of them would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The

7
 Company has no single customer that, based upon existing sales volume, will
account for 20% or more of the Company’s total sales.

(viii) Transactions with and/or Dependence on Related Parties

The Company leases certain parcels of land from the Alaska Milk Corporation
Retirement Plan (AMCRP). Both Messrs. Wilfred Uytengsu, Sr. and Wilfred
Steven Uytengsu, Jr. are Trustees of the AMCRP. The lease rate is based on
market values.

The Company also leases an office / warehouse space in Cebu City from
Wentworth Development Corporation (WDC), a company majority owned by
the Wilfred and Bonnie Uytengsu Foundation, Inc. The rental fee is based on
market rates.

The Company charges GenOSI 4 and WDC for their share in the expenses
incurred by directors and officers common to these companies.

(ix) Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

The Company owns the ALASKA, LIBERTY, ALPINE and KREM-TOP

brands. All trademarks used by the Company in its principal products are either
registered or pending registration in the name of the Company in the
Philippines. To secure these rights, the Company has filed all the necessary
documents/requirements for the regular renewal of these rights with the
respective offices/agencies where these registrations are obtained.

The Company also uses the brand names Carnation and Milkmaid under license
from Société Des Produits Nestlé S.A. (Nestlé) for liquid canned milk products
for sale in the Philippines.

The Company has secured the necessary license to operate as a food distributor
in the Philippines as well as all product registrations relative to the importation
of Kellogg’s line of ready-to-eat cereals.

The Company also owns a number of trademarks registered with the Bureau of
Trademarks of the Intellectual Property Office.

(x) Government Approval of Principal Products

As a manufacturer of consumer food products, the Company’s products are

subject to the approval of the Bureau of Food and Drug Administration

4
GenOSI, Inc. a partnership between the Uytengsu Family and OSI of Chicago, USA, is the exclusive supplier of
processed meats for the McDonald’s chain of restaurants in the Philippines. Mr. Wilfred Steven Uytengsu, Jr. is
the President of GenOSI.

8
 (BFAD). The Company has secured all requisite approvals from the BFAD for
all its products.

(xi) Government Regulation

Various government agencies in the Philippines regulate the different aspects of

the business of domestic milk manufacturers and suppliers. Republic Act (RA)
No. 7394 as enforced by the BFAD is known as the Consumer Act of the
Philippines (Act). This empowered the Department of Health to establish
standards and quality measures for, among others, milk, and adopt measures for
their pure and safe supply.

The Act likewise empowered the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to
implement the laws governing milk producers, manufacturers, and suppliers, or
sellers with respect to other sections in the Act dealing with consumer
protection, such as labeling, packaging, deceptive sales acts and practices, sales
promotions, and advertisement.

RA No. 7581, or the Price Act, mandates the Government to impose an

automatic freezing of prices of “basic necessities” (including processed milk) in
areas where an emergency or “state of calamity” is declared. This power is also
exercisable by the President of the Philippines, upon recommendation of the
DTI or the Price Coordinating Council. Under normal circumstances, however,
prices of milk products are generally not subject to government regulation.

The Company complies with the aforesaid laws and has not been cited for any
violation thereof. The Company is unaware of any other existing or probable
government regulation that may materially impact the normal course of
operations of the Company.

(xii) Research and Development

The Company’s Quality Assurance Group and Production personnel

concurrently perform Research & Development (R&D) functions. Expenses for
R&D during the year 2008 are estimated at P5.8 million or approximately
0.06% of total Company revenues. Expenses for R&D in prior fiscal year were
P7.4 million or 0.08% of total Company revenues. Research costs are directly
expensed as incurred. There were no development cost incurred in 2008 and
2007. However, as an accounting policy, development cost is carried forward
when future recoverability can reasonably regarded as assured. Any
expenditure carried forward is amortized in line with the expected future sales
from the related project.

9
(xiii) Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

The Company’s operation is subject to various laws enacted for the protection
of the environment, including the Pollution Control Law (R.A. No. 3931, as
amended by P.D. 984), the Solid Waste Management Act (R.A. No. 9003), the
Clean Air Act (R.A. No. 8749), the Environmental Impact Statement System
(P.D.1586) and the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) Act of 1966
(R.A. No. 4850).

The Company has consistently complied with the provisions of the

aforementioned environmental laws. The milk plant’s waste-water facility
discharge has met government standards as prescribed or required by the
Laguna Lake Development Authority. The Company has also complied with
the Air Emission Standards prescribed by the Department of Natural Resources
and Environment. Clearances and permits issued by the LLDA certifying
compliance with environmental laws require payment of permit fees amounting
to roughly P20,000 per year.

(xiv) Total Number of Employees

Total employee headcount as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Executives - 13
Managers & Supervisors - 206
Rank & File - 508
Consultant - 1

A total of 347 employees are covered by the present Collective Bargaining

Agreement (CBA). The CBA will expire on June 10, 2011.

The Company does not expect any significant change in the number of
employees in the next twelve (12 months).

(xv) Major Risks

The Company’s performance is affected by general economic and political

conditions in the Philippines. Domestic consumption activity is expected to
soften on the back of rising job cuts, lower remittances of overseas workers and
sluggish exports as major global economies enter into a recession. This will
weigh heavily on demand for basic goods and services, milk products included,
as consumers prioritize spending given shrinking disposable incomes.

Alternative sources of raw materials are used in the Company’s products to

manage risks relative to unstable supply conditions and price aberrations. The
Company likewise enters into forward contracts to manage its price risks on
critical raw and packaging materials. Commodity hedging allows predictability

10
 in prices, thus, mitigating the risk of market volatilities. Through hedging,
prices of commodities are fixed at levels acceptable to the Company.

The Company has foreign exchange exposure largely due to the fluctuations in
the value of the Philippine Peso vis-à-vis the US Dollar. Almost all of the
Company’s revenues are denominated in Pesos, while a number of raw and
packaging material costs are denominated in US Dollars. A sharp depreciation
of the Peso will exert pressure on the Company’s operating margins.

Prudent fiscal management is employed to temper exposure to changes in

earnings as a result of fluctuations of currency rates. The Company manages
foreign exchange risk by actively hedging its US Dollar requirements. Cash
flows and financial risks are managed to ensure adequate liquidity to the
Company.

Item 2. Properties

The Company’s production facilities are located in San Pedro, Laguna, 28 kilometers south of
Metro Manila, adjacent to the South Superhighway from Manila to Southern Luzon. The plant
covers an area of approximately 7.5 hectares containing the facilities for producing liquid
canned milk, powdered milk and UHT milk. The San Pedro facility is equipped with its own
water and power supplies. AMC leases the land from the Alaska Milk Corporation Retirement
Plan (AMCRP) where the production facilities are located.

The Company’s main Logistics / Distribution Center is located in San Pedro, Laguna, a 3.9
hectare property that is leased from AMCRP. All other provincial warehouses are likewise
leased. The Company’s total lease payments amount to P3.0 million monthly with varying
renewal terms as shown below:

The Company does not intend to acquire any property to be used in the normal course of
business in the next twelve (12) months. However, there will be additions to machinery and
equipment for the maintenance and upgrade of its production facilities.

None of the Company’s properties are under any lien or mortgage.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is either a defendant or plaintiff in several civil cases primarily involving
collection of receivables and labor cases. Based on the representation of the Company’s
external legal counsel, management is of the opinion that the resolution of such cases will not
have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

limited to the Company’s key officers and employees and the small amount involved does not
require the registration of such. The exemption to register these shares was confirmed in
writing by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its resolution dated June 12, 2002.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

(1) Plan of Operations

The domestic milk market is a mature industry that has recently experienced declining trends
in consumption, notwithstanding a population of 90 million growing at an average rate of 2.0%
annually. The foregoing is largely due to shrinking household incomes largely due to tight
economic conditions. Per capita milk consumption in the Philippines remains among the
lowest compared to neighboring ASEAN countries. In this environment, price competition is
intense with competitors aggressively offering steep discounts in an effort to stimulate
incremental demand.

In response to competitive pressure, Alaska Milk Corporation will put greater emphasis on
product differentiation and improvements in operating efficiencies to increase sales and
margins going forward. In addition, the Company will continue to invest in programs that
encourage consumption, providing affordable nutrition and quality products to a greater
number of people. The Company will likewise continue to focus on growing its core milk
business by expanding to other categories within the domestic milk market, either through new
product developments or through strategic alliances (i.e. licensing agreements, joint ventures,
etc.) or business acquisitions.

The Company does not foresee the need to raise additional funds externally to meet its working
capital requirements and planned capital expenditure for 2009. Likewise, the Company does
not expect any significant change in the number of employees in the next twelve (12) months.

(2) Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Changes in Financial

Conditions and Result of Operations

2008 vs. 2007

Results of Operations

Following a mild recovery in 2007, domestic consumption of milk products took a downturn in
2008 as consumers put a tighter rein on spending amidst an impending economic slowdown.
Based on independent research, retail consumption across all milk categories registered high
single-digit rate contractions year-on-year, reflective of a general slowdown in demand for
basic goods and services triggered by inflationary concerns. Competition in the milk industry
intensified as key players renewed their efforts to gain market share in a mature and sluggish
industry amidst an influx of cheaper imported milk products and. The year 2008 likewise saw
extraordinary cost inflation in agricultural commodities and rising costs of operations, paring
corporate earnings of those in the food and beverage sector.

14
Despite a challenging business environment brought about by uncertainties in both global and
domestic economies, total revenues for 2008 grew by 10% to P9.968 billion from P9.082
billion the previous year. This robust performance was achieved on the back of strong sales
volume growth across the Company’s core milk products even while the market contracted.

Combined sales volume of the Company’s portfolio of liquid canned milk products posted a
modest growth rate primarily realized from a full, 12-month selling period for the acquired and
licensed liquid canned milk brands compared to 8½ months selling period in 2007. Marketing
investments and promotional efforts in selected key areas were carried out to drive
consumption. Localized and tailor-fit communication campaigns were likewise developed to
help reinforce the regional heritage of the Carnation, Milkmaid, Alpine and Liberty brands.

Similarly, sales volume of the Alaska brand was up year-on-year buoyed by the strong off-take
of the economy line - Alaska Evaporada and Alaska Condensada. Continuous brand-building
initiatives, especially during high-demand seasons, stimulated consumption notwithstanding
the proliferation of lower-priced brands in the market. New advertising materials and
increased visibility in retail outlets reinforced top-of-mind awareness for the Alaska brand,
especially in the low-price market sector.

In the face of growing competition in the mass market, a permanent price roll-back for the
Company’s line of Condensada brands was implemented in the last quarter of the year. This
strategic pricing decision underpins the Company’s direction towards providing the middle and
low-income earners with affordable nutrition. Shelf-off take of the entire Condensada brands
improved, reflecting consumers’ receptiveness to the price move.

The powdered milk business sustained its strong performance in 2008 with sales volume
posting double-digit growth year-on-year, outperforming the market’s contraction. Shelf off-
take of Alaska Powdered Filled Milk remains brisk owing to the improvements in product
availability. Various sales and distribution drives, supplemented by a new advertising
campaign, boosted consumption as well as market share expansion. To address the growing
needs of consumers on affordability, new packaging formats were made available in the
market.

We continue to see the powdered milk segment as one of the strong growth drivers to our
business. This is anchored on the country’s demographic profile, with 37% of the population
falling below the age of fourteen – our target market. In addition, consumption trends indicate
a strong preference for the more affordable powdered filled milk product, which underscores
our positioning in the category.

The Company’s portfolio of UHT products likewise performed strongly in 2008 alongside with
the improvements in retail space and merchandising efforts. Selective advertising support and
volume-generating activities translated in market share gains for the Alaska brand across the
different UHT segments despite heightened media spending by our competitors in support of
their own brands.

15
Combined sales volume of the Company’s ready-to-drink UHT flavored milk line posted
substantial growth this year following the re-launch of Alaska Choco. Alongside with the
improvement in taste, the product also features a new and more exciting packaging design.
Consumer off-take of Alaska Yamoo! was likewise brisk, with sales volume up year-on-year.

Similarly, the Company’s plain / white UHT milk achieved double-digit growth in sales
volume. Alaska Fresh and Alaska Slim continued to reap expanded consumer acceptance,
aided by selected promotional activities. Sales volume likewise grew on the back of the
brand’s pricing advantage.

In line with our continuing effort to expand the Company’s portfolio of products in other
segments within the dairy market, Alaska Yoghurt Drink was launched in April 2008. Alaska
Yoghurt Drink is an alternative ready-to-drink beverage, cultured with yoghurt starters and is
initially available in strawberry and blueberry flavors.

Alaska Crema All-Purpose Cream entered the year at a slow start as consumer demand for the
product declined following the selling price increases in 2007. With all indications and factors
ushering a continued slowdown in the brand’s off-take, a temporary price roll-back was
implemented for Alaska Crema beginning May 2008. Capitalizing on seasonal opportunities,
promotional efforts for the brand were likewise executed in the fourth quarter of the year to
spur consumption and renew consumer awareness for the brand. As a result, sales volume of
Alaska Crema surged, mitigating the volume decline early in the year.

Sales volume of our trading business, Kellogg’s, was soft in 2008, reflective of the general
downtrend in off-take of branded premium-priced packaged food items in favor of the more
affordable mass brands. Notwithstanding the trade-down in the market, additional variants of
ready-to-eat cereals and related products are set for launch in 2009. In addition, greater focus
in managing key accounts and sustained promotional efforts will be implemented to expand
Kellogg’s presence in the up-scale market.

Our business continues to be adversely affected by persistent cost pressures in most of our
production inputs. Costs for food ingredients dramatically increased in 2008 as declining
supplies pushed up the value of agricultural commodities to historically high levels. Costs of
packaging materials also increased at an accelerated pace alongside fuel and energy costs. We
also have to contend with a higher foreign exchange environment as the Philippine Peso
weakened against the US Dollar brought about by the collapse of the global financial markets.

Combined with higher sales volume, cost of sales for the year grew by 18% to P7.904 billion
from P6.695 billion in 2007. Despite margin pressures attendant to the cost increases
mentioned, the Company did not implement a price hike during the year to stave off further
declines in consumer demand for milk products. As a result, gross profit for 2008 fell to
P2.064 billion from P2.387 billion while gross profit margin for the year dropped to 20.7%
from 26.3%.

Operating expenses for the year rose 11% to P1.600 billion from P1.437 billion on the back of
heightened spending on advertising and other consumer marketing programs to help generate

16
consumer awareness and purchase for our products. Also contributing to the increase in
operating expenses is the higher distribution-related charges associated with higher sales
volume as well as higher cost of fuel. Altogether, operating income for 2008 narrowed to
P464 million from P950 million a year ago. Operating margin was at 4.7% compared to 10.5%
the previous year.
During the year, net interest expense of P55 million was incurred compared to a net interest
income of P21 million in 2007 as the Company drew from its credit line from various banks to
fund capital expenditures, cash dividends and acquisition of treasury shares.

Including gains from foreign exchange transactions, other income and income tax, net income
for the year stood at P291 million or 2.9% of net sales, lower than the reported net income of
P667 million in 2007 or 7.3% of net sales. Consequently, earnings per share dropped to P0.32
per share from P0.70 per share in 2007.

Financial Condition

Notwithstanding a temporary drop in profitability levels, the Company’s financial position

remains strong with a current ratio of 1.10:1 and debt-to-equity ratio of 0.80:1 as of end
December 2008.

Total assets as of December 31, 2008 stood at P6.31 billion, P819 million lower compared to
P7.13 billion in 2007 primarily due to lower total inventory, as the cost of primary raw and
packaging materials declined towards the fourth quarter of the year from their peak levels a
year ago.

Cash and cash equivalents ended the year higher at P174 million from P136 million in 2007 as
the Company continues to generate strong cash flows from its operations. However, part of the
cash inflows was used to pay short-term bank loans and interest and to fund capital
expenditures, cash dividends and acquisition of treasury shares.

Total liabilities went down to P2.81 billion from P3.39 billion as the Company partially paid
down a significant portion of its short-term bank loans during the year. From P800 million in
2007, total bank loans went down to P175 million as of end December 2008.

Net income for the year of P291 million, less the cash dividend declared in 2008 amounting to
P278 million, increased the retained earnings account by P13 million. Combined with the
acquisition of treasury shares totaling P256 million, total stockholders’ equity stood at P3.50
billion from P3.73 billion in 2007.

The Company does not anticipate any cash flow or liquidity problems.

Commitment for Capital Expenditure

Alaska Milk Corporation spent P240 million for project and capital expenditure in 2008
primarily for acquisition of new manufacturing equipment and construction of the Company’s
logistics / distribution center.

17
For 2009, AMC has planned capital expenditure of about P200 million, largely for
maintenance and upgrade of existing manufacturing facilities. The Company regularly reviews
the timing and allocated amounts for these planned projects and adjusts the appropriations
accordingly to reflect changes in plans. These projects will be funded through internally
generated funds.

2007 vs. 2006

Results of Operations

Although performance varied from segment to segment, domestic consumption of milk

products recovered in 2007 attendant to an improving economy. Both the Evaporated and
Condensed Milk Categories registered low-single digit contractions compared to the market’s
double-digit declines a year ago. The Powdered Milk Category, on the other hand, staged a
mild recovery during the year, underpinned by the growth of the Filled Milk segment.

Through aggressive sales and marketing programs aimed at driving milk consumption, Alaska
Milk Corporation capped the year with unparalleled revenues of P9.08 billion, up 53% from
P5.92 billion in 2006. The robust revenue growth stemmed from higher sales volumes realized
across the Company’s core product lines combined with favorable selling prices.

21
Sales volume of the Company’s liquid canned milk business surged year-on-year driven by the
robust off-take of the Alaska brands as well as the additional sales volume generated from the
acquired and licensed Nestle liquid canned milk brands.

Extensive sales and distribution drives for the Alaska line of liquid canned milk coupled with
innovative marketing efforts bolstered consumption especially during the seasonally strong
second quarter (summer months) and fourth quarter (Christmas Holiday) of the year. To
address the various needs of a highly segmented market, specific campaigns were mounted as
competition from lower-priced brands continued to challenge Alaska’s market leadership.
Combined with closer management of trade outlets, Alaska Evaporada and Alaska Condensada
kept a firm hold of the economy market, with improved presence in Mindanao.

Sales volume of the Company’s traditional liquid milk products, Alaska Evaporated Filled
Milk and Alaska Sweetened Condensed Filled Milk, likewise registered growth rates on the
back of aggressive marketing and sales activities. Concentrated area marketing efforts in key
cities of the country were implemented to reinforce the brand’s taste and heritage, especially
among mothers and housewives.

The acquisition of the Alpine and Liberty brands and licensing of the Carnation and Milkmaid
brands have widened Alaska Milk Corporation’s portfolio and revenue base. These brands
bring with it a loyal customer following both in retail and food service accounts. In 2007,
these brands contributed nearly P2 billion in additional revenues to the Company.

Improvements in product availability and brand-building efforts resulted in volume growth and
market share gains for the powdered milk business. Trade inventory levels significantly
improved going into the second semester with the completion and commissioning of the
Company’s new Instant Filled Milk Powder Processing Plant, which enabled us to meet
increased demand. The re-launch of Alaska Powdered Filled Milk in July renewed consumer
interest for the product. This was supported by a new communication campaign that
capitalizes on the brand’s nutritional value and equity on sport. Sales and marketing efforts in
modern trade channels likewise bolstered trade movement and consumption activity for the
brand.

Our portfolio of UHT products also performed considerably well in 2007 as sales volumes
posted strong double-digit growth rates year-on-year, notwithstanding minimal and selective
advertising support.

The Company’s line of ready-to-drink UHT flavored milk, Alaska Choco and Alaska Yamoo!,
continued to enjoy strong patronage among the young market. In order to sustain brand
awareness, sampling programs in selected supermarkets and primary schools in key areas of
GMA, Cebu and Davao were carried out during the year.

Our UHT white milk line, Alaska Fresh and Alaska Slim, also achieved double-digit growth
rate in sales volume as a result of the brand’s greater presence in modern trade outlets. Pricing
also gave Alaska a strong competitive advantage.

22
Alaska Crema All-Purpose Cream continued to perform strongly in the market as consumer
off-take remained brisk. Vibrant pack changes and demand-creation activities helped push
volumes higher and brought about market share gains.

Our distribution tie-up for the Kellogg’s line of ready-to-eat cereals in the Philippines brought
in good results during the year. Sales volume of Kellogg’s for the year grew nearly 10%
versus year-ago levels, outperforming the category’s low single-digit growth rate. Market
share likewise improved on the back of increased distribution levels and marketing synergies.

The year 2007 saw inflationary pressures arising from cost increases for many of the
Company’s major ingredients and packaging materials. Global prices of skimmed milk
powder (SMP), a major component, steadily rose to an all-time high of US$5,000 per metric
ton brought about by strong demand amid weak dairy production output. Upward pressure on
SMP prices was evident as early as January 2007 and as such, we actively pursued hedging
positions for our SMP requirements through forward-buying arrangements.

To partly ease the effect of the sharp increases in the cost of production inputs, selling price
adjustments were taken in 2007. While this helped alleviate margin pressures, it was certainly
not enough to cover the full extent of the cost increases.

The combination of higher sales volume and higher SMP prices pushed cost of sales 53%
higher to P6.69 billion from P4.38 billion in 2006. This pushed up gross profit for the year by
55% to P2.39 billion from P1.54 billion the previous year. Operating expenses rose 40% to
P1.44 billion from P1.03 billion on the back of higher advertising, selling and distribution costs
as well as heightened trade support and marketing efforts in support of volume growth.
Altogether, these put operating income for the year at P950 million, 85% higher than last
year’s operating income of P514 million. Operating margin likewise inched up to 10.5% from
8.7% in 2006.

Including net interest income and gains from foreign exchange transactions, net income for the
year grew by 66% to P667 million or 7.3% of net sales from P402 million or 6.8% of net sales
in 2006. This year’s net income is equivalent to an earnings per share (EPS) of P0.69, P0.27
per share higher than 2006’s EPS of P0.42. Return on equity was 17.9% compared to 12.1% in
2006.

Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets as of December 2007 amounted to P7.13 billion, P2.0 billion
higher than 2006. This was primarily due to the acquisition of Nestle’s liquid canned milk
business as well as an increase in working capital requirements.

Accounts receivable increased by P256 million to P821 million resulting from higher sales.
Inventories of P2.68 billion were higher by P1.75 billion compared to 2006 mainly due to the
additional finished goods, raw and packaging materials relative to the business acquisition as
well as higher C&F cost of skimmed milk powder.

23
Total liabilities amounted to P3.39 billion largely due to availments of short-term loans for the
Company’s working capital requirements, increase in payables attendant to the growth in sales
volume and higher cost of imported raw materials.

Stockholders’ equity, on the other hand, amounted to P3.73 billion from P3.34 billion in 2006.
The increase of P394 million is a result of 2007’s net income of P667 million, net of cash
dividends declared amounting to P285 million.

The Company’s current ratio was 1.10:1.00 as of December 31, 2007 compared to 2.10:100 in
December 2006, while debt-to-equity ratio was 0.91:1.00 in 2007 compared to the previous
year’s 0.54:1.00.

Increase in cost of sales attendant to the increase in sales volume as well as higher cost of
production inputs.

24
Operating Expense – 40% increase from P1.03 billion to P1.44 billion
Increase due primarily to higher advertising, trade support and consumer promotions in support
of volume growth as well as higher sales-volume related delivery expenses. In addition, higher
personnel cost and depreciation charges pushed operating expenses higher year-on-year.

Interest Income –72% decrease from P96.30 million to P26.59 million

Decrease in interest income is due to the decline in the Company’s average cash balance as a
result of the acquisition of Nestle’s liquid canned milk business and higher working capital
requirements. Latter is due to the upsurge in the cost of raw and packaging materials and
higher sales volume. Plant expansion investments contributed to the drop in average cash
balance.

Interest Expense on Short-Term Loans – increase of P5.60 million

Interest from peso-denominated short-term loans availed in 2007 for working capital
requirements as a result of the drop in the Company’s cash balance.

Foreign Exchange Gain - 136% increase from a loss of P46.60 million to a gain of P16.62
million
Increase due to the restatement of the Company’s US Dollar-denominated liabilities which was
favorably affected by the appreciation of the Philippine Peso vis-à-vis the US Dollar.

Rental Income – 5% increase from P2.44 million to P2.55 million

Increase in rental income earned from a leased condominium property.

Gain on Disposal of Equipment – 78% increase from P0.86 million to P1.54 million

Other Income (Expense) – 77% decrease from – P0.80 million to P0.18 million
Decrease due to lower dividend income received in 2007 versus 2006.

Provision for Income Tax – 96% increase from P165.66 million to P324.68 million
Increase due to higher taxable income.

Balance Sheet Items (End-2007 vs. End-2006)

Cash and Cash Equivalents – 61% decrease from P352.23 million to P136.34 million
Decrease due to higher working capital requirement on account of the substantial increase in
the cost of primary raw and packaging materials as well as the acquisition of Nestle’s liquid
canned milk business.

25
Short-term Investments – decrease of P1.838 billion
Decrease due to the acquisition of Nestle’s liquid canned milk business as well as higher
working capital requirement.

Trade and Other Receivables – 45% increase from P565.30 million to P821.45 million
Increase mainly due to the higher trade receivables on account of higher sales.

Inventories – 188% increase from P928.51 million to P2.677 billion

Increase due to the additional finished goods, raw and packaging material required relative to
the acquisition of Nestle’s liquid canned milk business as well as higher C&F cost of skimmed
milk powder.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets – 33% increase from P70.01 million to P93.41
million
Increase due to the advance payments made for import-related expenses as well as higher input
taxes.

Property, Plant & Equipment – 17% increase from P1.03 billion to P1.21 billion
Increase due to the acquisition of machineries / equipment and construction in-progress costs
incurred relative to the expansion of the Company’s manufacturing facilities.

Investment Properties – 6% decrease from P41.42 million to P39.08 million

Decrease primarily due to the recognition of depreciation expense for 2007.

Deferred Tax Assets – 14% increase from P190.12 million to P216.85 million
Increase due to the higher accrued expenses for outside services and other sales-related
expenses incurred for which the related withholding taxes have not yet been remitted by the
Company to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Other Non-Current Assets – 12% increase from P59.78 million to P67.15 million
Increase due to the higher input VAT related to Company’s purchase of capital equipment
which will be utilized as a reduction of output VAT over a period of 60 months.

Bank Loans – increase of P800.0 million

Increase due to the availment of short-term peso-denominated loans for the Company’s

(3) Trends or Events that will Impact on Net Sales or Income from Operations

The Company’s performance is affected by general economic and political conditions in the
Philippines. Domestic consumption activity is expected to soften on the back of rising job
cuts, lower remittances of overseas workers and sluggish exports as major global economies
enter into a recession. This will weigh heavily on demand for basic goods and services, milk
products included, as consumers prioritize spending given shrinking disposable incomes.

Over the years, competition in the dairy industry has intensified. Free trade has likewise
facilitated the entry of imported cheap products into the Philippines. Some of our competitors
have financial and marketing resources that can challenge our market position. Milk also
competes with other beverages and nutritional products for consumer sales.

Skim milk powder is the most significant raw material that we use in all of our products and
has a significant impact on the Company’s profitability levels. International price movements
of skim milk powder are based on supply and demand. Following the sharp climb in prices in
late 2007 and early 2008, world prices of skim milk powder started to trail lower amidst falling

27
global demand and a slowdown of world economies. Quotes are currently under US$2,000 per
metric ton. The announcements of the European Union Commission to reinstate subsidy for
dairy farmers to offset the steep drop in milk prices over the past seven months is expected to
put some pressure on skim milk powder prices in the near term. The United States has also
provided similar assistance to its own ailing dairy industry. Demand remains weak with most
buyers keeping short on their purchases. Supply remains adequate, with stockpiles in major
exporting countries building up due to uncommitted volumes.

The stability of the Philippine Peso vis-à-vis the US Dollar will likewise have an impact on the
Company’s level of profitability. Rising risk aversion of investors in emerging markets,
brought about by the collapse of financial markets, has caused the Peso to weaken against the
US Dollar. In view of the continued volatility in the financial markets, the Company actively
hedges part of its US Dollar requirements.

Item 7. Financial Statements

The Company’s Audited Financial Statements and Schedules for 2008 are filed as part of this
SEC Form 17-A.

Item 8. Information on Independent Public Accountant and Other Related Matters

(1) Independent Public Accountant

The Company’s independent public accountant is the accounting firm of SyCip Gorres Velayo
& Co. (SGV). The Company’s Audit Committee recommends for approval of the Board the
appointment of the external auditor for the ensuing year. The stockholders then approve and
ratify the appointment of the external auditor at the annual stockholders’ meeting to be held on
May 12, 2009. SGV has not expressed any intention to resign as the Company’s principal
auditor nor has it indicated any hesitance to accept re-election after the completion of their last
audit.

Pursuant to the General Requirements of SRC Rule 68.1 (Qualifications and Reports of
Independent Auditors), the Company has engaged SGV & Co. as external auditor of the
Company, and Ms. Melinda G. Manto has been the Partner In-charge starting 2007, replacing
Mr. Joel M. Sebastian who was SGV & Co.’s Partner In-charge for audit years 2002 to 2006.

Steven Uytengsu, Jr. and Jose R. Facundo) last November 7, 2008 and November 9, 2007,
respectively.

(3) Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial

Disclosure

Adoption of New and Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent
with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the following Philippine
Interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
starting January 1, 2008.

ƒ Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions,
requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity’s equity
instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the
entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from
another party, or (b) the shareholders of the entity provide the equity instruments needed.

ƒ Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements covers contractual

arrangements arising from entities providing public-to-private service concession
arrangements if control of the assets remains in public hands but the private sector operator
is responsible for construction activities, as well as for operating and maintaining the public
sector infrastructure. As the Company has no public-to-private concession arrangements,
the interpretation has no impact on its financial position or performance.

ƒ Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, PAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset,
Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction, provides guidance on how to assess
the limit on the amount of surplus in a defined benefit scheme that can be recognized as an
asset under PAS 19, Employee Benefits.

The adoption of the above interpretations did not have any impact on the financial position or
performance of the Company.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company did not early adopt the following standards, Philippine Interpretations and
amendments that have been approved but are not yet effective:

ƒ Revised PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, becomes effective for financial years beginning on
or after January 1, 2009. It restricts the definition of a vesting condition to condition that
includes and explicit or implicit requirement to provide services. Any other conditions are
non-vesting conditions, which have to be taken into account to determine the fair value of
the equity instruments granted. In case the award does not vest as a result of a failure to
meet a non-vesting condition that is within the control of either the entity or the

29
 counterparty, it must be accounted for as a cancellation. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of the interpretation on the financial statements.

ƒ Revised PFRS 3, Business Combination, and Revised PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements, become effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1,
2009. Revised PFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business
combinations occurring after this date that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized,
the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results.
Revised PAS 27 requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary be
accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such transaction will no longer give rise
to goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the amended standard
changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of
a subsidiary. The changes introduced by the revised PFRS 3 must be applied prospectively
and will affect future acquisition and transactions with minority interests while the revised
PAS 27 must be applied retrospectively subject to certain exceptions. The Company
assessed that the adoption of the revised standards will have no impact on the financial
statements.

ƒ PFRS 8, Operating Segments, becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after
January 1, 2009, and will replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting. It adopts a management
approach to reporting segment information. The information reported would be that which
management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments and
allocating resources to those segments. Such information may be different from that
reported in the balance sheets and statements of income and companies will need to
provide explanations and reconciliations of the differences. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of this standard on the financial statements.

ƒ Revised PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, becomes effective for financial years
beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The standard separates owner and non-owner
changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity will include only details of
transactions with owners, with all non-owner changes in equity presented as a single line.
In addition, the standard introduces the statement of comprehensive income, which presents
all items of income and expense recognized in profit or loss, together with all other items of
recognized income and expense, either in one single statement, or in two linked statements.
The revision also includes changes in titles of some of the financial statements to reflect
their function more clearly, although not mandatory for use in the financial statements.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the revised standard on the financial
statements.

ƒ Revised PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, becomes effective for financial years beginning on or
after January 1, 2009. The standard requires capitalization of borrowing costs when such
costs relate to a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of the revised standard on the financial statements.
ƒ PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and PAS 1, Presentation of Financial
Statements – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation

30
 (Amendments), become effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2009.
The amendment to PAS 32 requires certain puttable financial instruments and obligations
arising on liquidation to be classified as equity if certain criteria are met. The amendment
to PAS 1 requires disclosure of certain information relating to puttable instruments
classified as equity. The Company does not expect that these amendments will have an
impact on its financial statements.

ƒ PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Eligible Hedged Items
(Amendment), becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009.
The amendment addresses the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the
designation of inflation as hedged risk or portion in particular situations. It clarifies that an
entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability
of a financial instrument as a hedged item. The Company does not expect that this
amendment will have an impact on its financial statements.

ƒ Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, became effective for
financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2008. It requires customer loyalty award
credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transactions in which they
are granted and therefore part of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to
the award credits and deferred over the period that the award credits are fulfilled. As the
Company has no customer loyalty schemes, the interpretation has no impact on its financial
position or performance.

ƒ IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation, becomes effective for
financial years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The interpretation is to be applied
prospectively. It provides guidance on the accounting for a hedge of a net investment and
in identifying foreign currency risks that qualify for hedge accounting in the hedge of a net
investment, where within the group, the hedging instruments can be held in the hedge of a
net investment and how an entity should determine the amount of foreign currency gain or
loss, relating to both the net investment and the hedging instrument, to be recycled on
disposal of the net investment. The Company assessed the adoption of the interpretation
will have no impact on the financial statements.

The Company did not early adopt the following amendments to standards that will become
effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2009:

ƒ Amendment to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, removes the reference to total

interest income as a component of finance costs.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, provides that assets and

liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with PAS 39, Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement, are not automatically classified as current in the balance
sheet.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors,

clarifies that only implementation guidance that is an integral part of a PFRS is mandatory
when selecting accounting policies.

31
ƒ Amendment to PAS 10, Events after the Reporting Period, clarifies that dividends declared
after the end of the reporting period are not obligations.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, requires items of property, plant
and equipment held for rental that are routinely sold in the ordinary course of business after
rental are transferred to inventory when rental ceases and they are held for sale. It also
replaces the term “net selling price” with “fair value less cost to sell”.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 18, Revenue, replaces the term “direct costs” with “transaction costs”
as defined in PAS 39.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 19, Employee Benefits, revises the definition of past service costs,
return on plan assets, and short-term and other long-term employee benefits. The standard
has been revised such that amendments to plans that result in reduction in benefits related
to future services are accounted for as curtailment. It deletes the reference to the
recognition of contingent liabilities to ensure consistency with PAS 37, Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, revises the definition of borrowing costs to
consolidate the two types of items that are considered components of borrowing costs into
one – the interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method calculated in
accordance with PAS 39.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 28, Investment in Associates, establishes that if an associate is

accounted for at fair value in accordance with PAS 39, only the requirement of PAS 28 to
disclose the nature and extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the associate to
transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash or repayment of loans applies.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 31, Interest in Joint Ventures, provides that if a joint venture is
accounted for at fair value in accordance with PAS 39, only the requirement of PAS 31 to
disclose the commitments of the venturer and the joint venture as well as summary
financial information about the assets, liabilities, income and expense applies.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, requires disclosure of earnings per
share in interim financial reports if an entity is within the scope of PAS 33, Earnings per
Share.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 36, Impairment of Assets, requires the disclosure of estimates used to
determine recoverable amount. It requires that when discounted cash flows are used to
estimate fair value less costs to sell, the same disclosure is required as when discounted
cash flows are used to estimate value in use.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 38, Intangible Assets, requires that for expenditure on advertising and
promotional activities, expense is recognized when the entity either has the right to access
the goods or has received the services. In addition, the standard deletes references to there
being rarely, if ever, persuasive evidence to support an amortization method for finite life
intangible assets that results in a lower amount of accumulated amortization than under the
straight-line method, thereby effectively allowing the use of the unit of production method.

32
ƒ Amendment to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, clarifies
that changes in circumstances relating to derivatives are not reclassifications and therefore
may either be removed from, or included in, the fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
classification after initial recognition. The standard also removes the reference to PAS 39
to a segment when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a hedge. In addition, it
requires the use of the revised effective interest rate when measuring a debt instrument on
the cessation of fair value hedge accounting.

ƒ Amendment to PAS 40, Investment Property, revises the scope such that property under
construction or development for future use as an investment property is classified as
investment property. If fair value cannot be reliably determined, the investment under
construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or
construction is complete. Also, the standard revises the conditions for a voluntary change
in accounting policy to be consistent with PAS 8 and clarifies that the carrying amount of
the investment property held under lease is the valuation obtained, increased by any
recognized liability.

The Company expects that these changes will have no material impact on the financial
statements.

The Company has engaged the services of SGV & Co. during the two most recent fiscal years.
There were no disagreements with the Company’s principal accountants as to any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure.
