Due to constant drive toward customer satisfaction and continuous improvement, the
Group is able to maintain its wide base of customers. The Group is not dependent upon a single
or a few customers.
The Group and certain related parties, in the normal course of business, purchase
products and services from one another. Please see Note 29 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements attached hereto as Annex “E”.
All marks used by the Group in its principal products are either registered or pending
registration in the name of the Parent Company or its subsidiaries in the Philippines and in foreign
markets of said products.
Government Approval
The Group has obtained all necessary permits, licenses and government approvals to
manufacture and sell its products.
Government Regulation
As of December 31, 2008, the Group has about 15,344 employees and has 46 existing
collective bargaining agreements ("CBA"). Of the 46 CBAs, 10 will be expiring in 2009.
The list of CBAs entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries with their different
employee unions, is attached hereto as Annex “B”.
The Group does not expect any significant change in its existing workforce level within
the ensuing twelve (12) months.
18
There have been no strikes experienced by the Group in the last three (3) years. While
notices of strike were filed against certain packaging and food subsidiaries of the Parent
Company in 2008, these were subsequently resolved by the parties amicably.
The Company and majority of its subsidiaries have funded, noncontributory retirement
plans covering all of their permanent employees. The retirement plan is described in Note 31 of
the 2008 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company attached hereto as Annex

a) Competitor Risks
New and existing competitors can erode the Group’s competitive advantage through the
introduction of new products, improvement of product quality, increase in production
efficiency, new or updated technologies, costs reductions, and the reconfiguration of the
industry’s value chain. The Group has responded with the corresponding introduction of
new products in practically all businesses, improvement in product propositions and
packaging, and redefinition of the distribution system of its products.
War, terrorism, fire, severe weather conditions, health issues and other similar events
that are completely beyond the control of the Group were mitigated with the re-
channeling of volumes from mostly on-premise outlets to retail stores.
c) Political Risks
d) Regulatory Risks
Changes in regulations and actions by national or local regulators can result in increased
competitive pressures, such as the recent legislation on excise tax increases for alcoholic
beverages.
The way people live, work and behave as consumers can affect the industry’s products
and services. For example, more women in the workplace, concerns about drug use,
increasing crime rate, increased health consciousness, etc. The Group has introduced
products that try to address or are attuned to the evolving lifestyles and needs of its
consumers. San Mig Light was introduced to address increasing health consciousness
and San Miguel Strong Ice Beer for the upwardly mobile market. Initiatives similar to this
have been pushed in the food division for years.
19
f) Sourcing Risks
Alternative sources of raw materials are used in the Group’s operations to avoid and
manage risks on unstable supply and higher costs.
g) Financial Risk
The Group enters into various commodity derivatives to manage its price risks on
strategic commodities. Commodity hedging allows stability in prices, thus offsetting the
risk of volatile market fluctuations. Through hedging, prices of commodities are fixed at
levels acceptable to the Group, thus protecting raw material cost and preserving margins.
Cash flows and financial risks are managed to ensure adequate liquidity of the Group.
Accounts receivables, inventory, loans and payables are monitored to ensure liquidity.
Please refer to Note 36 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
attached hereto as Annex “E” for the discussion of the Group’s Financial Risk
Management Objectives and Policies.

have a material adverse effect on the Group or its results of operations.
There are no matters which were submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders,
through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 2007.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated financial performance,
financial position and cash flows of San Miguel Corporation (the Parent Company) and its
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the three-year period ended December 31,
2008. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached audited
consolidated balance sheets of the Group as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2008. All necessary adjustments to present fairly the Group’s
consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for all the other periods presented, have been made.
I. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for the following:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Parent
Company’s functional currency under Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). All
values are rounded to the nearest million (P000,000), except when otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with PFRS. PFRS
includes statements named PFRS and Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), including
Philippine interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee
(IFRIC), issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC).
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions: This
interpretation addresses how to apply PFRS 2, Share-based Payment to share-based payment
arrangements involving equity instruments of the parent company, where a parent company
grants rights to its equity instruments to the employees of its subsidiary or a subsidiary
grants rights to equity instruments of its parent company to its employees. The adoption of
this interpretation did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Management Discussion and Analysis
Page 2
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, PAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset,
Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction: This interpretation provides
general guidance on how to assess the limit in PAS 19, Employee Benefits, on the
amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how the
pension asset or liability may be affected when there is a statutory or contractual
minimum funding requirement. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations of Agribusiness (a Division of Parent Company) in 2008, 2007 and
2006, San Miguel Foods Australia Holdings Pty. Ltd. (SMFAH) and San Miguel Australia
Holdings Ltd. (SMAH) in 2007 and 2006 and Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI) for
the period ended February 22, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were presented as a separate item
under “Income After Income Tax from Discontinued Operations” in the consolidated statements
of income. Accordingly, the comparable 2007 and 2006 consolidated statements of income were
restated.
Comparisons of key operating results for the last three years are summarized in the following
tables.
The Group’s 2008 consolidated sales revenue amounted to = P 168,041 million, 14% above last
year as most businesses registered double digit revenue growth versus 2007.
Equity in net losses include San Miguel Properties, Inc.’s (SMPI) share in net losses of Bank of
Commerce (BOC) partly offset by the equity in net income of Meralco.
Gain on sale of investments and property, plant and equipment include gain from the initial
public offering of San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) shares, sale of KSA Realty Corporation
(KSA) shares and 35% stake in the domestic and regional packaging businesses and the sale of
Aurora property.
Other charges include mainly from marked-to-market loss on commodity and foreign currency
derivatives, net of foreign exchange gains, which ended at =
P2,262 million.
With this, profit from continuing operations for 2008 amounted to = P14,670 million, significantly
higher than last year. Coupled with the gain from discontinued operations, consolidated net
income amounted to = P19,348 million, significantly higher than last year.
Without the non-recurring gains on sale of investments and properties, 2008 net income would
have been =
P 7,221 million, 4% higher than the comparable net income in 2007.
Consolidated sales revenue grew 10% to = P148,022 million. Operating income was down 10% to
=11,627 million over 2006 due to several factors: a.) having to absorb an 8% increase in excise
P
tax on the liquor business implemented in January, 2007; b.) the cyclical downtrend for glass
bottle requirements; c.) significant increases in raw materials and fuel costs that affected the
food businesses; and d.) increase in ad and promo expenses for new products launched in 2007.
Gain on sale of investments and property, plant and equipment in 2007 pertains mainly to the
sale of Del Monte Pacific Ltd.
With the strengthening of Philippine peso and other Asian currencies versus the United States
dollar (USD), foreign exchange gain in 2007 reached =
P 6,587 million, a significant increase from
= 2,768 million in 2006. Thus, consolidated other income mainly represents foreign exchange
P
gains, partly offset by losses on foreign exchange swaps and impairment losses of the Yuen

=8,630 million,
16% lower than 2006.
CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Beer Domestic
SMB sustained its volume uptrend in 2008 despite market difficulties with the economic
slowdown and rising commodity prices. Total SMB volumes grew by 4% to reach 174.5
million cases that brought in revenues of =
P48,787 million, 11% higher than last year, in spite of
the price increase implemented in April to cover escalating costs. Volume expansion was driven
by intensified and innovative sales and marketing activities which enabled SMB to further
strengthen its market position reaching 96%.
These initiatives included various tactical consumer and trade promotions and efforts to gain
exclusive on-premise selling activities in key large-scale fiestas. Volume-generating and
“occasion creation” programs such as Territoryo San Miguel, Beer Plazas, Beer Drinking
Contests, Payday Special and outlet-based events were also implemented to further spur
consumption.
The brands San Mig Light, Red Horse and Gold Eagle all grew in volume over 2007, even as
San Miguel Pale Pilsen (SMPP) embarked on its biggest Oktoberfest yet in 2008. The annual
beer fest was transformed into the SMB’s grandest and longest-running fiesta with nationwide
events lined up during the Oktoberfest’s three-month launch.
SMB sponsored viewing parties for its top endorser, boxing great Manny Pacquiao, in his well-
publicized matches. Visibility for the brand was also achieved through the sponsorship of
concerts by international acts, namely Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys.
To further strengthen SMB’s brand portfolio and grow the upscale segment market, SMB
launched at the Oktoberfest kick-off party, San Miguel Premium All-Malt Beer and its seasonal
offering, San Miguel Oktoberfest brew.
To chart SMB’s future, it crafted its vision-mission with the tagline “Drink to Life” as it aims to
make every occasion a celebration through SMB’s products and services.

Beer International
The performance of Beer International continues to be encouraging, as the business gains
traction from its efforts to improve its structure and operations.
Volume sales of 48.4 million cases, registered growth of 1% from 2007, the bulk of which can
be attributed to Indonesia’s strong performance and improved sales in Thailand, Hong Kong
and San Miguel Brewing International Ltd’s (SMBIL) export sector.
Sales revenue ended at US$283 million, 24% above 2007. Operating income was at US$1.97
million, a rebound from last year’s loss of US$4.35 million which came from gains from
Indonesia, North China, Thailand, Hong Kong, and SMBIL Exports. The significant turn-
around in SMBIL’s profitability was the result of business restructuring initiatives, outlet-based
promotion programs, sales mix improvements and continuous efficiency enhancements.
In Hong Kong, domestic volumes posted a 5% growth from last year with SMPP reversing
previous year’s declining trend. This was boosted by its integrated marketing activations in
outlets and special events with good output from the retail chains.
South China’s domestic volumes suffered from the economic downturn in Foshan City and the
closure of several key Chinese restaurants and open air outlets due to food safety concerns.
However, exports and tolling volumes had offset much of the shortfall, thus registering a
consolidated volume growth of 4%.
PT Delta Djakarta Tbk (PT-Delta) capped a stellar performance in 2008 registering domestic
volume growth of 18% from 2007 level coming from the positive performance of Anker brand,
San Miguel brand and Carlsberg. Thus, operating income grew 47% versus 2007 driven by
strong volumes, better efficiencies and price increases.
Vietnam volumes remained lower than last year which resulted from competitor buy-outs and
termination of sponsorships.
In Thailand, domestic volumes grew double digit from last year, driven by higher sales of SMPP
and San Mig Light. Tolling and export volumes also grew, contributing significantly to the
marked improvement in over-all profitability of the Thailand operations. San Miguel brands
continued its second year of growth in 2008 which nearly doubled from last year, benefiting
greatly from the increase in number of penetrated outlets ending at 9,386 outlets by year-end.
Export volumes for the year grew 22% against last year driven by SMPP and other San Miguel
brands, particularly Red Horse. Overall, the Middle East and North American markets
contributed the biggest growth over last year.
GSMI’s GSM Blue and Gran Matador delivered substantial volume gains during the year, with
hard liquor domestic volume growing 9% higher than last year. Following efforts to improve
availability and product penetration, volumes of GSM Blue grew significantly from last year.
Gran Matador’s 1-liter format also enjoyed strong volume growth.
Sales revenue grew 18% to = P15,428 million. However, operating income ended at = P431 million,
33% lower than last year on account of the rise in alcohol and packaging costs, higher ad spend
to support the year’s strong volume growth and increased administrative expenses.
.
With fuel prices rising since the start of 2008 until the 3rd quarter, GSMI entered into a hedge
arrangement to protect GSMI from further surges in fuel prices. However, with the downturn of
prices during the 4th quarter, this resulted to a marked-to-market loss on our hedged fuel prices.
All these dampened profitability, resulting in GSMI ending the year with a net loss of = P279
million.
FOOD
Commodity costs were a challenge across the food industry in 2008. Several initiatives were
implemented to help the Food Group improve its efficiencies, lower its production costs and
generate savings so as to remain competitive in view of the difficult market and operating
conditions.
While volumes contracted across most of the business segments, revenues were nevertheless
robust, with poultry, feeds, flour, value-added meats and Vietnam operations posting double
digit growth rates. Food Group revenues reached = P73,880 million, up by 16%, as the businesses
took some pricing measures to cover rising input costs.
Despite the slowdown in consumer spending, the Food Group managed to maintain market
leadership in a majority of its product segments as major innovations were introduced to keep its
offerings relevant and affordable to consumers.
The integration of outbound logistics allowed the business to maximize synergies among its
branded businesses and standardize outbound logistics processes, policies and guidelines,
resulting in annual savings of about P6 million.
To secure higher margins and manage volatilities in the global commodity markets, the Food
Group continued to pursue efforts towards developing more value-added products. To-date, the
contribution has already gone up to almost 50% from total sales, evidenced by new products
launched during the year - Ulam King, Purefoods Tender Juicy Sweet Corn, San Mig Coffee 2-
in-1 coffeemix, and relaunched Magnolia Chicken Stations and Monterey Meatshops, were just
some of the initiatives in 2008 designed to skew the Food Group’s product portfolio toward the
high-margin, more stable value-added segment. These new product lines are currently enjoying a
favorable response from consumers.
Despite these efforts, the Food group’s operating income fell short of last year due to high raw
material costs, soft consumer demand and increased fixed costs spending.
Management Discussion and Analysis

Agro-Industrial Cluster
Integrated Agro-Industrial Zone. Poultry volumes registered positive growth throughout the
year while the feeds and basic meats posted slight decline from last year. Aided by favorable
prices, sales revenue amounted to =
P48,811 million, 15% higher than 2007.
The Magnolia Chicken Stations yielded rewards for the Poultry sector. From 217 outlets in 2007
to 296 in 2008 delivering 28.7% volume growth and generated revenues of =P3.76 million for the
year.
The Feeds Business introduced various sales recovery programs to preserve profitability amid a
weak market that resulted in lower volumes.
With more than 166 Monterey Neighborhood Meatshops and 250 Monterey Supermarket
Meatshops, the business continued to expand distribution and widen product availability, which
helped in driving sales.
Milling. Our milling operations saw a surge in wheat costs coupled with price controls which
held back its performance. However, with price increases and the growing value-added flour
segment allowed the business to post revenue of P
=8,684 million, a 30% growth from last year.
On the other hand, the business’ efforts in moving flour from basic to customized flour and
premixes have started to pay off, protecting margins and locking in key customers.
Two new product categories were introduced: Magnolia Real Good Instant Noodles and E-Aji
Thin and Light snacks. Both have the “no added MSG” component to address the health and
wellness needs of consumers.
Innovation paved the way for the business to sustain its strong performance with new product
introductions like Tender Juicy Sweet Corn Hotdog, new and exciting shapes for Chicken Fun
Nuggets, and Ulam King, a new line of affordable canned viands. The health benefits of Chick N
Tasty Hotdog were also emphasized with its choline (an essential food nutrient) component.
These new products further bolstered the business’ portfolio of high-quality and value-for-
money offerings.
Dairy, Oils & Fats. Magnolia Inc’s. (Magnolia) performance for the year was adversely
affected by the rising costs of raw materials. Volumes fell across all major categories, except for
ice cream. While price increases were implemented across all product lines, sales revenue
slipped 7% below the previous year.
Butter, margarine and cheese continued to dominate the market with their flagship brands –
Magnolia and Star Margarine. Products were also launched which aimed to suit to prevailing
consumer disposal income (e.g., Daily Queso, Dairy Blend and new ice cream flavors).

Food Service.
Great Foods Solutions continued to partner with foodservice giants such as the Jollibee Group,
Lots’A Pizza, 7-Eleven and the Bistro Group, among many others. With sustained innovation,
product customization, co-branding activities with key accounts, complemented by the
aggressive technical, culinary and food safety training of all GFS front liners, the business
gained significant improvement in its performance.
Emerging Businesses.
The Super Coffeemix business has sustained its revenue growth. Wider distribution, supported
by sampling campaigns, new billboards and ad campaigns strengthened San Mig Coffee’s hold
of the market. The introduction of San Mig Coffee 2-in-1 Coffeemix also complemented the
range of San Mig Coffee offerings.
The Food Shops’ Snack Bar stations continue to draw customers. Fourteen Food Shops
nationwide are currently in operation to continue providing additional distribution channels to
the wide spectrum of San Miguel products.
Regional Operations
San Miguel Pure Foods Vietnam continued to be a bright spot in the Food Group operations with
revenue and operating income growing 23% and 42% respectively.
Nine more Monterey Meatshop outlets were opened in 2008, with sales volume rising
phenomenally every month. Today, there are 14 Monterey meatshops in Vietnam that are
performing well.
On the other hand, San Miguel Pure Foods Indonesia’s net loss narrowed down during the year,
a big improvement from last year. Revenue grew by 9% as PT San Miguel Pure Foods Indonesia
(SMPFI) focused on internal improvements, market innovation and expanded reach.
SMPFI continues to be the leading producer and marketer of halal processed meat products for
retail and institutional customers and now ranks second in the processed meats industry with
four core brands: Vida, Farmhouse, PF Choice and Gusto.
PACKAGING
The Packaging Group posted a solid recovery this year with sales revenue growing 6% to
= 19,852 million, the result of robust demand from the glass and plastic businesses.
P
Improvements in the group’s cost structure and a renewed focus on developing overseas markets
have also helped.
The Packaging Group has entered into long-term contracts with major external customers such
as Del Monte, Coca-Cola Bottlers Phils., Unilab, Kraft and Fonterra and retained other larger
customers among them, Nestle and Pepsi.
New products were launched to further diversify markets. The Plastics business began
commercial production of margarine tubs and its proprietary chicken flooring. It also
established its plastic pallet leasing operations in Mindanao. The PET business developed tennis
ball canisters using pre-forms with recycled PET content.
Management Discussion and Analysis
Page 9
The Packaging Group continued its aggressive expansion into export markets outside Asia,
developing more customers and products for Australia, South Africa and the Middle East. Its
glass packaging subsidiary in China further deepened its penetration of the U.S. market with
new customers and distributors.
The Packaging Group was likewise confronted with higher costs for oil and key raw materials.
Packaging Group responded to this with pervasive cost and working capital reduction as well as
value-enhancing programs across the organization. Thus, operating income of =
P 1,315 million is
significantly higher than the previous year.
PROPERTY
SMPI’s performance ended 2008 with a 212% growth in net income attributable to equity
holders of SMPI from P = 380 million to =
P 1,186 million. The sharp increase was due to the
disposal of real property and divestment of shares of stock.
SMPI’s turnaround was also helped by the new initiatives in the areas of project development
and operations, sales and marketing and project finance. Among these initiatives: the launching
of Bel Aldea and Maravilla projects and expanded channels of distribution. SMPI signed a
joint venture agreement with the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) to develop a
high-end service apartment in Makati City.
Its associate, BOC is supporting SMPI’s operations by way of providing ready and easy access
to mortgage financing. This one-stop-shop concept has since launched the 100%-Guaranteed
Loanable Bank Financing Facility for potential buyers of SMPI projects.
While domestic demand remains strong, SMPI plans to tap the international market, targeting
overseas foreign workers in Asia and the Middle East.
SMPI will also expand its competencies in the area of property management, with the recent
transfer in management of SMC Tagaytay Training Center.
BEVERAGE
Beer Domestic
Since March 2007, SMB chalked up consecutive months of sustained volume and revenue
growth. Volume grew by almost 8% while revenue and operating income posted a parallel
growth of 9% at = P 44,139 million and =
P 12,273 million, respectively. Volume expansion was
driven by SMB’s intensified marketing and sales programs which were helped along by a more
robust Philippine economy and greater consumer confidence.
SMB undertook various brand activation and marketing initiatives such as the Jet Li campaign
and the highly popular Manny Pacquiao-Erik Morales TVCs. SMB also sponsored the 2007
World Pool Championships, and co-sponsored concerts by internationally renowned music acts.
The National Beer Drinking Contest likewise strengthened SMPP’s equity among local drinkers.
The 632-BEER delivery project was also introduced in selected upscale areas to address
consumer preference for convenience.
Management Discussion and Analysis
Page 10
On top of the other sales, marketing and cost-management initiatives, outlet-based programs
aimed at increasing consumer off take, brand-building and penetration will be sustained to
further expand coverage, volumes and maintain strong profitability.
Beer International
Beer International operations continued to post improved profitability with revenue of $229
million, higher by 5% versus 2006 despite lower volumes in several key markets.
Operating loss of US$4 million ended significantly lower than 2006 as almost all operating units
registered growth improvements – a result of sustained programs in improving sales, operational
efficiencies and continued vigilance in costs.
The rationalization of the Group’s operations in Hong Kong and the former Guangzhou brewery
will significantly streamline costs and improve the long-term overall profitability of the
business. The decision to restructure operations came as a result of relatively higher production
and operating costs in these locations as compared to SMBHK’s other South China brewery, San
Miguel Guangdong Brewery (SMGB).
Hong Kong saw further recovery in the economy and implemented a reduction of excise duty tax
from 40% to 20% in 2007. SMBHK’s domestic volume grew 2% over 2006 and gained
significant growth rate in the high-priced brands as the consumer preferences have slightly
shifted out of economy brands.
In South China, profit significantly improved resulting from the shift to higher growth markets
and categories.
SMGB continued to register strong growth in 2007 led by domestic sales and tolled volumes,
mainly on the strength of Dragon brand. The continued airing of the “Refreshing to Fly” TVC
and presence of effective brand signage in outlets in Shunde and nearby countries have further
improved the brand equity of Dragon and reinforced its market leadership. The steady volume
growth significantly contributed to the improvement of its operating income over 2006.
SMGB completed Phase 1 of its expansion program in 2006 and has moved to the next stage to
support the growing requirements of SMBHK, GSMB, domestic and toll-packed volumes.
Guangzhou San Miguel Brewery (GSMB) achieved profitability gains following the
restructuring and streamlining of operations in South China. This was further boosted by the
modest growth of San Miguel brands driven by San Mig Light’s strong performance through
continuous effort to reinforce the brand value.
In North China, overall volumes grew for the 6th consecutive year bannered by Blue Star
brands. Volumes increased 7% year-on-year despite flat beer-industry growth and intensified
competition in the Hebei province.
Volumes in Indonesia declined slightly resulting from confluence of different factors – a price
adjustment in late 2006, an increase in the excise tax and an ongoing inventory and receivable
management program.
Management Discussion and Analysis
Page 11
In Vietnam, volume expansion was accelerated in 2007 propelled by continued growth of W1N
Bia and tolled volumes for Hue Brewery. Total volumes improved by 21% in 2007 which
resulted to further reduction of operating loss.
In Thailand, volumes more than tripled, buoyed by exports and higher sales of San Mig Light.
Expanded coverage and outlet-based initiatives for the brand, particularly in selected areas in
Greater Bangkok and Central Thailand, pushed volumes higher.
Export volumes grew 8% due to higher Red Horse sales to the Middle East and bigger shipments
of other San Miguel brands to Malaysia, South Korea, United Arab Emirates and Taiwan.
Volume growth was likewise propelled by expansion to new markets and development of new
products for selected areas.
Despite a slowdown in brandy’s sales, the strong performance of GSM Blue, which almost
doubled from 2006, and the resurgence of Ginebra San Miguel Bilog offset the decline in Gran
Matador volumes.
Sustained efforts at reinforcing core brand equity proved effective as sales of flagship gin
products responded positively, even without a commensurate price increase. These included the
sponsorship of high-profile sporting events.
Lower operating costs were achieved through a bottle retrieval system that brought down costs
for packaging materials. The use of imported alcohol and favorable molasses prices also helped
keep costs in check.
These initiatives in all paved the way for a steadily improving operating performance. Although
operating income of = P643 million fell short of 2006 levels, performance during the second half
has showed significant improvements.
Effective working capital and inventory management system allowed GSMI to further
strengthen its balance sheet and reduce dependence on debt – cutting down on interest and other
expenses and boosting profitability in the process.
Overseas, the joint venture with the Thai Life Group completed construction of its production
facilities in November 2007 and is primed for commercial run. This is expected to raise GSMI’s
profile as a regional total liquor company.
FOOD
The food business under San Miguel Pure Foods further reinforced its operational platform –
both in terms of its value-added business proposition and pursuit of an integrated, efficient and
more profitable organization.
Food Group’s revenue grew 11% to = P 63,526 million on account of higher volumes and
favorable selling prices pushing operating income 11% higher year-on-year brought in by
increased turnover from the businesses and effective cost reduction programs.
Management Discussion and Analysis
Page 12
The drive towards improving efficiencies and lowering costs through raw material substitution
has gathered pace. Over 25,000 hectares of cassava were planted which significantly reduced
input costs.
A total of 146 new products across all businesses expanded the line up of high value, great
tasting and superior quality food products. In addition, the increase in retail channels, reaching
nearly 900 from over 700 in 2006, provided adequate exposure and shelf-space to ensure
availability of the Food Group’s portfolio among a wider consumer base.
Agro-Industrial Cluster
Integrated Agro-Industrial Zone. The agro-industrial business cluster did better than 2006
despite weaker basic meats volumes. New higher-value added and better margin variants were
introduced to preserve profitability despite the dip in volumes.
Revenue of =P42,313 million rose 13%, largely on improved selling prices and higher volumes
from poultry and feeds, ushering in an operating income of =
P1,491 million.
Milling. Revenue of = P6,699 million from the milling business sustained an impressive 12%
growth with income from operation amounting to = P558 million as volumes from new products,
four variants of E-Aji Potato Chips launched in October 2007, combined with favorable selling
prices for bagged and bulk flour offset rising raw material and freight costs.
Exports of customized flour to Thailand as well as shipments of Pancake Mix to the Middle East
and Vietnam and E-Aji Dip Snacks to several markets around the world also added incremental
sales.
Dairy, Oils & Fats. For the dairy, oils & fats segment, Magnolia. registered volume growth
across all categories with revenue registering at =
P5,177 million, up by 8%. However, operating
income of = P63 million fell below 2006 as increasing cost of major imported raw materials and
unfavorable mix of low margin products persisted.
Food Service. Great Food Solutions, the food service unit, added to its roster of institutional
clients through sustained product innovation. Revenue of =
P5,512 million was up by 16% and
operating income ending at =

In addition, 18 San Miguel Food Shops already in operation continue to provide additional

generating revenue and income of US$38 million and US$1 million, respectively, significantly
higher than 2006. The acquisition of Le Gourmet and the opening of six Monterey Meat Shops
in the country provided a vehicle for branded meat products and distribution system.

revenue of US$15 million, up by 14% but ended with an operating loss of US$1 million as
prevailing market conditions favored the cheaper and unbranded products available in the
market.
PACKAGING
Packaging Group’s performance continued to lag as internal demand remained weak, with below
break-even levels resulting in a corresponding drop in revenue by 3% at
= 18,777 million. While improvements were noted in the glass, plastics and metal segments,
P
these still fell short to boost the weak performance from other segments with operating income
significantly lower than 2006.

foreign revenues to augment domestic sales. The rehabilitation and upgrades in some of its key
facilities have improved efficiencies – making it more equipped to meet the growing and
diversifying demand for more sophisticated packaging solutions both here and abroad.

annum; Series B Bonds with an aggregate principal amount of P22,400 having a term of
5 years and 1 day beginning on Issue Date and ending on April 4, 2014, with a fixed
interest rate of 8.875% per annum; and Series C Bonds with an aggregate principal
amount of P2,810 million having a term of 10 years beginning on Issue Date and ending
on April 3, 2019, with a fixed interest rate of 10.50% per annum. Proceeds from the
issuance of the bonds will be used to finance SMB’s acquisition of the interests of the
Parent Company in IBI and BPI. The offer period for the Bonds is from March 18 to
March 27, 2009, and issue date is on April 3, 2009.
On February 20, 2009, the Parent Company signed a share purchase agreement for the
acquisition by Kirin Holdings Company, Limited (“Kirin”), of a 43.249% stake in SMB.
Under the terms of the agreement, purchase price of the shares amounts to P8.841 per
share, implying a total acquisition price at P58,924 million. Further to the agreement,
the Parent Company, Kirin and SMB will undertake to negotiate exclusively for SMB’s
potential purchase of shares in SMC’s overseas beer business. The exclusivity period is
for six months following SMC’s offer to sell the shares in its overseas beer business.
On February 17, 2009, the Parent Company issued floating rate notes amounting to
P1,000 million. The net proceeds of the term loan facility will be used by the Parent
Company for general financing and corporate requirements.
b. Contingencies
The Group is a party to certain lawsuits or claims (mostly labor related cases) filed by
third parties which are either pending decision by the courts or are subject to settlement
agreements. The outcome of these lawsuits or claims cannot be presently determined.
In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the eventual liability from these
lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
Management Discussion and Analysis
Page 27
On April 12, 2004 and May 26, 2004, the Parent Company was assessed by the BIR for
deficiency excise tax on one of its beer products. The Parent Company contested the
assessments before the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) under CTA case numbers 7052 and
7053. In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the Parent Company has
strong legal grounds to contest the assessments.
In relation to the aforesaid contested assessments, the Parent Company, on January 31,
2006, filed with the CTA, under CTA case number 7405, a claim for refund of taxes
paid in excess of what it believes to be the excise tax rate applicable to it. An
independent Certified Public Accountant commissioned by the CTA to conduct an
examination, verification and audit to validate the documents supporting the claim for
refund has submitted a report stating, among other things, that the claim is properly
supported by the relevant documents.
On November 27, 2007, the Parent Company filed with the CTA, under CTA case
number 7708, a second claim for refund, also in relation to the contested assessments, as
it was obliged to continue paying excise taxes in excess of what it believes to be the
applicable excise tax rate. An independent Certified Public Accountant was likewise
commissioned by the CTA in this case for the purpose of conducting an examination,
verification and audit of the documents supporting the aforesaid claim. In a report
recently submitted to the CTA, the independent CTA stated that the second claim is
properly supported by the relevant documents.
On January 11, 2008, the BIR addressed a letter to the Parent Company, appealing to the
Parent Company to settle its alleged tax liabilities subject of CTA case numbers 7052
and 7053 “in order to obviate the necessity of issuing a Warrant of Distraint and
Garnishment and/or Levy”. The Parent Company’s external counsel responded to the
aforesaid letter and met with appropriate officials of the BIR and explained to the latter
the unfairness of the issuance of a Warrant of Distraint and Garnishment and/or Levy
against the Parent Company, especially in view of the Parent Company’s pending claims
for refund. As of March 26, 2009, the BIR has taken no further action on the matter.
On December 24, 2008, the Parent Company entered into an option agreement with SEA
BV pursuant to which SEA BV granted to the Parent Company an option to acquire and
purchase up to 100% of its interests in SEA BV’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SEA
Refinery Corporation (SRC), consisting of 40,000,000 shares of stock with a par value
of P1 per share (Option Shares). SRC owns 50.1% stake in Philippine oil refinery,
Petron Corporation. The option may be exercised by the Parent Company within a
period of two (2) years from December 24, 2008. The exercise price for the Option
Shares will be the sum of (a) the paid-up capital of SEA BV in SRC amounting to P40
and (b) the value of the shares acquired by SRC in Petron Corporation plus the
assumption of, if any, liability or obligation and expenses incurred by SRC for the
acquisition of the said shares. The Parent Company and SEA BV have agreed that the
Parent Company shall have representation in the board and management of Petron
Corporation.

On July 24, 2007, the shareholders authorized the Parent Company to invest corporate

other utilities, mining and infrastructure. Together with the core business of food,
beverage and packaging - which will form the bulk of the portfolio - these new
businesses aim to provide better aggregate growth margins and a stronger growth
platform moving forward.
g. Restructuring Plan
At the annual stockholders' meeting held on July 24, 2008, the stockholders authorized
(i) the Parent Company to pursue and implement a corporate restructuring plan which
may require, among others, the divestment of the Parent Company's interest in its major
subsidiaries, such as beer, food and packaging subsidiaries, with the Parent Company
retaining controlling interests/ownership of at least 51% in each of these major
subsidiaries, and (ii) the Board of Directors to approve the implementing transactions of
such corporate restructuring plan after evaluation and study by Management, subject to
applicable laws.
h. The foreign exchange rates used in translating the US dollar accounts of foreign
subsidiaries and associates to Philippine peso were closing rates of =
P47.52 in 2008 and

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the
power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so
as to obtain benefit from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that
are presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements
of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date
when the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such
control ceases.
-3-
The consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting period as the
Parent Company, using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events
in similar circumstances. Intergroup balances and transactions, including intergroup
unrealized profits and losses, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial
statements.
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by
the Group and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity
attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company.
Non-controlling interests represent the interest not held by the Group in GSMI, SMPFC,
Mincorr, SMRPC, SMYAC, SYFMC, SMPI, PBC, SMCSLC, AIBC, PT-Delta, SMHT,
SMBHK, SMBB, SMBV, SMPFI, PTSMPFI, PTSMSPIL, SMYPTPCL, SMPF,
FSMPC, ZSMYGC and SMYHG in 2008 and 2007 and also SMB, SMYPIL and
SMYPC in 2008.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Group to all
periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, PAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset,
Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction: This interpretation provides
general guidance on how to assess the limit in PAS 19, Employee Benefits, on the
amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how the
pension asset or liability may be affected when there is a statutory or contractual
minimum funding requirement. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
-4-
Amendments to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures: This standard permits an entity to
reclassify non-derivative financial assets, other than those designated at fair value
through profit or loss upon initial recognition, out of the trading category in certain
circumstances. The amendments also permit an entity to transfer from the available-
for-sale category to the loans and receivables category a financial asset that otherwise
would have met the definition of loans and receivables, if the entity has the intention
and ability to hold that financial asset for the foreseeable future. The adoption of
these amendments did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
New and Revised Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations Not Yet
Adopted
The following are the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations which
are not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2008, and have not been applied in
preparing these consolidated financial statements:
-5-
Revised PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, becomes effective for
financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The standard has been revised
to introduce the term total comprehensive income, which represents changes in
equity during a period other than those changes resulting from transactions with
owners in their capacity as owners. Total comprehensive income may be presented in
either a single statement of comprehensive income (effectively combining both the
income statement and all non-owner changes in equity in a single statement), or in an
income statement and a separate statement of comprehensive income. The Group is
currently assessing the impact of the revised standard on the consolidated financial
statements when it adopts the standard on January 1, 2009.
Revised PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, becomes effective for financial years beginning
on or after January 1, 2009. The standard removes the option to expense borrowing
costs and requires an entity to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that
asset. The Group will assess the impact of this revised standard on the consolidated
financial statements when it adopts the standard on January 1, 2009.
-6-
Improvements to PFRS 2008 discusses 35 amendments and is divided into two parts:
a) Part I includes 24 amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation,
recognition or measurement purposes ; and b) Part II includes 11 terminology or
editorial amendments that the International Accounting Standards Board expects to
have either no or only minimal effects on accounting. These improvements are
generally effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The
effect of the improvements in 2009 is not expected to have any material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
Revised PFRS 3, Business Combinations, incorporates the following changes that are
likely to be relevant to the Group’s operations:
o Transaction costs, other than share and debt issue costs, will be expensed as
incurred.
o Any pre-existing interest in the acquiree will be measured at fair value with
the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
Revised PFRS 3, which becomes mandatory for the 2010 consolidated financial
statements, will be applied prospectively and therefore will have no impact on prior
periods in the 2010 consolidated financial statements.
-7-
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners,
becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009. This
interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for non-reciprocal distributions of
non-cash assets to owners acting in their capacity as owners. It also applies to
distributions in which the owners may elect to receive either the non-cash asset or a
cash alternative. The liability for the dividend payable is measured at the fair value of
the assets to be distributed. The Group will assess the impact of this interpretation on
the consolidated financial statements when it adopts the standard in
July 1, 2009.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate,
becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. This
interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by
entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through
subcontractors. It provides guidance on the recognition of revenue among real estate
developers for sales of units, such as apartments or houses, ‘off plan’, i.e., before
construction is complete. It also provides guidance on how to determine whether an
agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of PAS 11,
Construction Contracts, or PAS 18, Revenue, and the timing of revenue recognition.
The Group will assess the impact of this interpretation upon adoption.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities in
the following categories: held-to-maturity (HTM) financial assets, available-for-sale
(AFS) investments, FVPL financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification
depends on the purpose for which the investments are acquired and whether they are
quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its financial
assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such
designation at every reporting date.
-8-
Determination of Fair Value. The fair value for financial instruments traded in active
markets at the balance sheet date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price
quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any
deduction for transaction costs. When current bid and asking prices are not available, the
price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as
there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the
transaction.
For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is
determined by using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net
present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable
prices exist, options pricing models and other relevant valuation models.
Day 1 Profit. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair
value of the other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based
on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the
Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1
Profit) in the consolidated statements of income unless it qualifies for recognition as
some other type of asset. In cases where use is made of data which are not observable,
the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the
consolidated statements of income when the inputs become observable or when the
instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate
method of recognizing the ‘day 1’ profit amount.
Financial Assets
Financial Assets at FVPL. Financial assets at FVPL include financial assets held for
trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at FVPL.
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 assets are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both
which are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in
accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or
Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective
hedging instruments.
The Group accounts for its derivative transactions (including embedded derivatives)
under this category with fair value changes being reported directly to profit or loss,
except when the derivative is treated as an effective accounting hedge, in which the fair
value change is deferred in equity under “Cumulative translation adjustments” account.
-9-
The Group’s derivative assets are classified under this category (Note 37).
The carrying values of financial assets under this category amounted to P191 and P926 as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 37).
Loans and Receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not
entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not designated
as AFS or financial asset at FVPL. Loans and receivables are carried at cost or amortized
cost, less impairment in value. Amortization is determined using the effective interest
method.
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and noncurrent
receivables and deposits are included in this category (Notes 7, 8 and 15).
The carrying values of financial assets under this category amounted to P175,192 and
P162,597 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 37).
HTM Investments. HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities for which the Group’s management
has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Where the Group sells other
than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted
and classified as AFS investments. After initial measurement, these investments are
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment in value.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees that are integral part of the effective interest rate.
Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the HTM
investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
AFS Investments. AFS investments are non-derivative financial assets that are designated
in this category or are not classified in any of the other categories. Subsequent to initial
recognition, AFS investments are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets.
Changes in the fair value of such assets are reported in the equity section of the
consolidated balance sheets until the investment is derecognized or the investment is
determined to be impaired. On derecognition or impairment, the cumulative gain or loss
previously reported in equity is transferred to the consolidated statements of income.
Interest earned on holding AFS investments are recognized in the consolidated
statements of income using effective interest rate.
The Group’s investments in equity securities included under “Investments and advances”
account are classified under this category (Note 10).
The carrying values of financial assets under this category amounted to P590 and P551 as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 37).
Financial Liabilities
Financial Liabilities at FVPL. Financial liabilities are classified in this category if these
result from trading activities or derivative transactions that are not accounted for as
accounting hedges, or when the Group elects to designate a financial liability under this
category.
- 10 -
Included in this category are the Group’s derivative financial instruments with negative
fair values (Notes 17 and 37).
The carrying values of financial liabilities under this category amounted to P2,353 and
P897 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Notes 17 and 37).
Other Financial Liabilities. This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held
for trading or not designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These
include liabilities arising from operations or borrowings.
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at
amortized cost, taking into account the impact of applying the effective interest method
of amortization (or accretion) for any related premium, discount and any directly
attributable transaction costs.
Included in this category are the Group’s drafts and loans payable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, long-term debt and other noncurrent liabilities (Notes 16, 17, 19
and 37).
The carrying values of financial liabilities under this category amounted to P144,953 and
P119,935 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 37).
Freestanding Derivatives
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either: a) fair value hedges
when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability
or an unrecognized firm commitment (except for foreign currency risk); b) cash flow
hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a
particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast
transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment; or
c) hedges of a net investment in foreign operations.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents
the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation
includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the
nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s
effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash
flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an on-going
basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial
reporting periods for which they were designated.
Fair Value Hedge. Derivatives classified as fair value hedges are carried at fair value
with corresponding change in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of
income. The carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability is also adjusted for changes
in fair value attributable to the hedged item and the gain or loss associated with that
remeasurement is also recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
- 11 -
When the hedge ceases to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued and the
adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged financial instrument is amortized
immediately.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Group has no outstanding derivatives accounted
for as fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedge. Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument that qualifies as a
highly effective cash flow hedge are included in the consolidated statements of changes
in equity under “Cumulative translation adjustments” account. The ineffective portion is
immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
If the hedged cash flow results in the recognition of an asset or a liability, all gains and
losses previously recognized directly in equity are transferred from equity and included
in the initial measurement of the cost or carrying value of the asset or liability.
Otherwise, for all other cash flow hedges, gains and losses initially recognized in equity
are transferred from equity to net income in the same period or periods during which the
hedged forecasted transaction or recognized asset or liability affect the consolidated
statements of income.
As of December 31, 2008, the Group has outstanding commodity options accounted for
as cash flow hedge.
Net Investment Hedge. As of December 31, 2008, the Group has no hedge of a net
investment in a foreign operation.
For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from
changes in fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss during the year
incurred.
Embedded Derivatives
The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host
contracts when the Group becomes a party to the contract.
An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a
derivative if all of the following conditions are met: a) the economic characteristics and
risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics
and risks of the host contract; b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the
embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and c) the hybrid or
combined instrument is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Reassessment
only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the
cash flows that would otherwise be required.
- 12 -
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 when:
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed
an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a
“pass-through” arrangement; or
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either
(a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When 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, the
asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset.
Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the
liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized the consolidated statements of income.
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 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) discounted at the financial
asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial
recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through
use of an allowance account. The amount of loss shall be recognized in the consolidated
statements of income.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for
financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for
financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective
evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether
significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit
risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for
impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an
impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective
assessment of impairment.
- 13 -
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.
AFS Financial Assets. If an AFS financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the
difference between the cost (net of any principal payment and amortization) and its
current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized
in the consolidated statements of income, is transferred from equity to the consolidated
statements of income. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as AFS are not
recognized in profit. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed
through profit or loss, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated
statements of income.
satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or
another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares.
If the Group does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another
financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a
financial liability.
Inventories
Finished goods, goods in process and materials and supplies are valued at the lower of
cost and net realizable value.
- 14 -
Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and conditions are
accounted for as follows:
Finished goods and goods in - cost includes direct materials and labor
process and a proportion of manufacturing
overhead costs based on normal
operating capacity but excluding
borrowing costs; costs are determined
using the moving-average method;
Materials and supplies - at cost using the moving-average
method.
Net realizable value of finished goods and goods in process is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Net realizable value of materials and supplies is the current replacement cost.
Containers (i.e., returnable bottles and shells) are stated at deposit values less any
impairment in value. The excess of the acquisition cost of the containers over their
deposit value is presented under deferred containers included under “Other noncurrent
assets” account in the consolidated balance sheets and is amortized over the estimated
useful lives of two to ten years. Amortization of deferred containers is included under
“Selling and administrative expenses” account in the consolidated statements of income.
Growing livestock are carried at accumulated cost while breeding livestock are carried at
accumulated cost net of amortization. The costs and expenses incurred up to the start of
the productive stage are accumulated and amortized over the estimated productive lives
of the breeding stocks. The Group uses this method of valuation since fair value cannot
be measured reliably. The Group’s biological assets have no active market and no active
market for similar assets is available in the Philippine industry. Further, the existing
sector benchmarks are determined to be irrelevant and the estimates (i.e., revenues due to
highly volatile prices, input costs, efficiency values, production) necessary to compute
for the present value of expected net cash flows comprise a wide range of data which will
not result to a reliable basis for determining the fair value.
The carrying values of the biological assets are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The Group’s agricultural produce which consists of grown broilers, marketable hogs and
cattle harvested from the Group’s biological assets are measured at its fair value less
estimated point-of-sale costs at the point of harvest. The fair value of grown broilers is
based on the quoted prices for harvested mature grown broilers in the market at the time
of harvest. For marketable hogs and cattle, the fair value is based on the quoted prices in
the market at any given time.
The Group in general, does not carry any inventory of agricultural produce for poultry at
any given time as these are either sold as live broilers or transferred to the different
poultry processing plants and immediately transferred into processed or dressed chicken.
- 15 -
Amortization is computed using straight-line method over the following estimated
productive lives of breeding stocks:
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the consolidated
balance sheets at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share in net assets of
the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the
investment and is not amortized. After application of the equity method, the Group
determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with
respect to the Group’s net investment in the associate. The consolidated statements of
income reflect the share in the results of operations of the associate. Where there has
been a change which was recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group
recognizes its share in any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the
consolidated statements of changes in equity. Profits and losses resulting from
transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the
interest in the associate.
An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date
when it becomes an associate. Upon acquisition of the investment, any difference
between the cost of the investment and the investor’s share in the net fair value of the
associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is accounted for in
accordance with PFRS 3, Business Combinations. Consequently:
b. any excess of the Group’s share in the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded
from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the
determination of the Group’s share in the associate’s profit or loss in the period in
which the investment is acquired.
The Group discontinues applying the equity method when its investment in an associate
is reduced to zero. Additional losses are provided only to the extent that the Group has
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate to satisfy obligations of
the associate that the Group has guaranteed or otherwise committed. If the associate
subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes applying the equity method only after its
share of the profits equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period the
equity method was suspended.
- 16 -
The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting period as
the Parent Company. The accounting policies of the associates conform to those used by
the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
The joint venture is proportionately consolidated until the date when the Group ceases to
have joint control over the joint venture.
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises of its construction cost or
purchase price, including import duties, taxes and any directly attributable costs in
bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Cost also
includes any related asset retirement obligation and interest incurred during the
construction period on funds borrowed to finance the construction of the projects.
Expenditures incurred after the asset has been put into operation, such as repairs,
maintenance and overhaul costs, are normally recognized as expense in the period the
costs are incurred. Major repairs are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow
to the Group and the cost of the items can be measured reliably.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Number of Years
Land improvements 5 - 50
Buildings and improvements 5 - 50
Machinery and equipment 3 - 40
Transportation equipment 5-7
Tools and small equipment 2-5
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures 2-6
Molds 2-5
Leasehold improvements 5 - 50
or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
- 17 -
The remaining useful lives, residual values and depreciation and amortization method are
reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, periodically to ensure that such periods and
method of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of
economic benefits from the items of property, plant and equipment.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no
further depreciation and amortization is credited or charged to current operations.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized when either it has been
disposed of or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gains or losses arising on the
retirement and disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) are
included in the consolidated statements of income in the period of retirement or disposal.
Investment Properties
Investment properties consist of properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital
appreciation. Investment properties, except for land, are measured initially at cost
including transaction costs less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any
accumulated impairment in value. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing
part of an existing investment property at the time the cost is incurred, if the recognition
criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.
Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Number of Years
Land improvements 5 - 50
Buildings and improvements 5 - 50
Machinery and equipment 3 - 40
Tools and small equipment 2-5
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation and amortization of the
assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year-end.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use,
evidenced by ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to
another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from
investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by
commencement of the owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view
to sale.
- 18 -
For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories, the
cost of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying value at the date of change in
use. If the property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an
investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy
stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
cost of acquisition is the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange of assets
given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the acquirer, in
exchange for control over the net assets of the acquired company, plus any directly
attributable costs. The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that satisfy
certain recognition criteria have to be measured initially at their fair values at acquisition
date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests.
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 acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.
Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment in value.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently, if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is,
from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or
groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned
to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so
allocated:
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored
for internal management purposes; and
is not larger than a segment based on either the Group’s primary or the Group’s
secondary reporting format determined in accordance with PAS 14, Segment
Reporting.
When the Group acquires a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host
contract by the acquiree are not reassessed on acquisition unless the business
combination results in a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the
cash flows that would otherwise be required under the contract.
- 19 -
Negative goodwill which is not in excess of the fair values of acquired identifiable
nonmonetary assets of subsidiaries and associates is charged directly to income.
Transfers of assets between commonly controlled entities are accounted for under
historical cost accounting.
When a business combination involves more than one exchange transaction (occurs in
stages), each exchange transaction is treated separately by the Group, using the cost of
the transaction and fair value information at the date of each exchange transaction, to
determine the amount of goodwill associated with that transaction. Any adjustment to
fair values relating to the previously held interest is a revaluation and is accounted for as
such.
When subsidiaries are sold, the difference between the selling price and the net assets
plus goodwill is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost
of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of
acquisition. Subsequently, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated
amortization and provision for impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible
assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is
charged against profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives
of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be
impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset
with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date. Changes in the
expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as
appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense
on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statements of
income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives of other intangible assets with finite lives:
Number of Years
Computer software 2-8
Franchise 13 - 20
Leasehold rights 20 or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
Land use rights 25 - 50 or term of the
lease, whichever is shorter
The Group assessed the useful life of the trademarks and brand names to be indefinite
because based on an analysis of all the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to
the period over which the asset is expected to generate cash inflows for the Group.

Trademarks and brand names with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment
annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangibles are not
amortized. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed
annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If
not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on a
prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from disposition of an intangible asset are measured as the
difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are
recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the asset is derecognized.
An assessment is made at each reporting 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 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 and amortization, had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss.
After such a reversal, the depreciation and amortization charge is adjusted in future
periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a
systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized only when the Group has (a) a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of past event; (b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not) 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. If the
effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting
the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of
the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized
as interest expense. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the
reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the receipt of the
reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
- 21 -
Treasury Shares
Own equity instruments which are reacquired are carried at cost and are deducted from
equity. No gain or loss is recognized on profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or
cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. When the shares are retired, the
capital stock account is reduced by its par value and the excess of cost over par value
upon retirement is debited to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the specific or
average additional paid-in capital when the shares were issued and to retained earnings
for the remaining balance.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will
flow to the Group and the amount of the revenue can be reliably measured. The
following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sales. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods have passed to the buyer and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably,
which is normally upon delivery.
Agricultural Produce. Revenue for agricultural produce is measured at fair value less
cost to sell at point of harvest. Fair value is based on the most relevant market price at
point of harvest.
Interest. Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues, taking into account the effective
yield on the asset.
Dividend. Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right as a shareholder to receive the
payment is established.
Gain or Loss on Sale of Investments in Shares of Stock. Gain or loss is recognized if the
Group disposes of its investment in a subsidiary or associate. Gain or loss is computed as
the difference between the proceeds of the disposed investments and its carrying amount,
including the carrying amount of goodwill, if any.
Rent. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or based on the
terms of the lease, as applicable.
Share-based Transactions
The cost of Long-term Incentive Plan for Stock Options (LTIP) is measured by reference
to the option fair value at the date when the options are granted. The fair value is
determined using Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In valuing LTIP transactions, any
performance conditions are not taken into account, other than conditions linked to the
price of the shares of the Parent Company. The cost of Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP) is measured by reference to the market price at the time of the grant less
subscription price.
- 22 -
instruments that will ultimately vest. Where the terms of a share-based award are
modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified.
In addition, an expense is recognized for any modification, which increases the total fair
value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee
as measured at the date of modification.
However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a
replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated
as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous
paragraph.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the
substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement
conveys a right to use the asset.
Group as Lessee. 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 reflected in the consolidated
statements of income.
Leased assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. However, if there
is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease
term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and
the lease term.
Leases which do not transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are
recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line
basis over the lease term. Associated costs such as maintenance and insurance are
expensed as incurred.
Group as Lessor. Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and
benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Lease income from
operating leases is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying
amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental
income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are
earned.
- 23 -
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if
they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction 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 substantially ready for their intended use. If the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is
recognized.
The carrying value of development cost is reviewed for impairment annually when the
related asset is not yet in use. Otherwise, this is reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Retirement Costs
The Parent Company and majority of its subsidiaries have separate funded,
noncontributory retirement plans, administered by the respective trustees, covering their
respective permanent employees. Retirement costs are actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method. This method reflects services rendered by employees up to
the date of valuation and incorporates assumptions concerning employees’ projected
salaries. Retirement cost includes current service cost, interest cost, expected return on
plan assets, amortization of unrecognized past service costs, recognition of actuarial
gains and losses, and effect of any curtailments or settlements. Past service cost is
recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the
benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the
introduction of, or changes to the plan, past service cost is recognized immediately as an
expense. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net
cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting
year exceed the greater of 10% of present value of the defined benefit obligation or the
fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the
expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan.
The transitional liability as of January 1, 2005, the date of adoption of PAS 19, Employee
Benefits, is recognized as an expense over five years from date of adoption.
The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit
obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized, reduced by past service cost not
yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be
settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the resulting asset is measured at the lower
of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and
past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of
refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
If the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses
and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form
of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan, net actuarial
losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized
immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of those
economic benefits. If there is no change or an increase in the present value of the
economic benefits, the entire net actuarial losses of the current period and past service
- 24 -
cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Similarly, net actuarial gains of
the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period exceeding
any increase in the present value of the economic benefits stated above are recognized
immediately if the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net
actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits
available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to
the plan. If there is no change or a decrease in the present value of the economic
benefits, the entire net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past
service cost of the current period are recognized immediately.
The functional currency of the Group’s foreign operations is United States (US) dollar.
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into
the presentation currency of the Parent Company at the rate of exchange ruling at the
balance sheet date and their income and expense accounts are translated at the quarterly
weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation differences are
included in the consolidated statements of changes in equity under “Cumulative
translation adjustments” account. On disposal of a foreign entity, the accumulated
exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as a
component of the gain or loss on disposal.
Taxes
Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted at balance sheet date.
Deferred Tax. Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method
on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:
where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- 25 -
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward
benefits of unused tax credits - Minimum Corporate Income Tax (MCIT) and unused tax
losses - Net Operating Loss Carry Over (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and
the carryforward benefits of MCIT and NOLCO can be utilized, except:
where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
The carrying amount of deferred 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 tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized
deferred 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 allow the deferred tax
asset to be recovered.
Deferred 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 balance sheet date.
Income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in 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 the deferred taxes
relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Value Added Tax (VAT). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the
amount of VAT, except:
where the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the tax is recognized as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of tax included.
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included
as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated balance sheets.
- 26 -
Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value and fair
value less costs to sell.
Discontinued Operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a
separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed
of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation
meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When an operation is classified as a
discontinued operation, the comparative consolidated statements of income are
re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative
period and show the results of discontinued operation separate from the results of
continuing operation.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to
control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making
financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are
subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be
individuals or corporate entities. Transactions between related parties are on an arm’s
length basis in a manner similar to transactions with non-related parties.
Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner, adjusted for the effects of the shares
issuable to employees and executives under the Parent Company’s ESPP and LTIP,
respectively, which are assumed to be exercised at the date of grant.
Where the effect of the assumed conversion of shares issuable to employees and
executives under the Parent Company’s stock purchase and option plans would be
anti-dilutive, diluted EPS is not presented.
Business Segments
The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the
nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic
business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. Financial
information on business and geographical segments is presented in Note 5 to the
consolidated financial statements.
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. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial
statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Subsequent Events
Post-year end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at
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
to the consolidated financial statements when material.

4. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the
following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Operating Leases. The Group has entered into various lease agreements as a lessee. The
Group has determined that the lessor retains all significant risks and rewards of
ownership of these properties which are leased out under operating lease arrangements.
Rent expense charged to operations amounted to P1,796, P1,450 and P1,622 in 2008,
2007 and 2006, respectively (Notes 22 and 23).
Contingencies. The Group currently has various tax assessments, legal and
administrative claims. The Group’s estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of
these assessments and claims have been developed in consultation with in-house as well
as outside legal counsel handling the prosecution and defense of these matters and is
based on an analysis of potential results. The Group currently does not believe that these
tax assessments, legal and administrative claims will have a material adverse effect on its
financial position and results of operations. It is possible, however, that future financial
performance and results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the
estimates or in the effectiveness of strategies relating to these proceedings. No accruals
were made in relation to these proceedings (Note 39).
Estimates
The key estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements are
based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date
of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Allowance for Impairment Losses on Trade and Other Receivables. Provisions are made
for specific and groups of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The
Group evaluates these accounts 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 customers and counterparties, the customers’ current credit status
based on third party credit reports and known market forces, average age of accounts,
collection experience, and historical loss experience. The amount and timing of recorded
expenses for any period would differ if the Group made different judgments or utilized
different methodologies. An increase in allowance for impairment losses would increase
the recorded selling and administrative expenses and decrease current assets.
The allowance for impairment losses amounted to P2,884 and P2,541 as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. The carrying values of trade and other receivables
amounted to P50,814 and P61,879 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively
(Note 8).
- 28 -
Allowance for Inventory Losses. The Group provides allowance for inventory losses
whenever net realizable value becomes lower than cost due to damage, physical
deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes.
Estimates of net realizable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the
time the estimates are made of the amount the inventories are expected to be realized.
These estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to
events occurring after balance sheet date to the extent that such events confirm conditions
existing at balance sheet date. The allowance account is reviewed periodically to reflect
the accurate valuation in the financial records.
The allowance for inventory losses amounted to P901 and P926 as of December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively. The carrying values of inventories amounted to P27,710 and
P23,852 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 9).
Estimated Useful Lives of Investment Properties, Containers and Property, Plant and
Equipment. The Group estimates the useful lives of investment properties, containers
and property, plant and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected
to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of investment properties, containers
and property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if
expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or
commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets.
Estimated Useful Lives of Intangible Assets with Finite Lives. The useful lives of
intangible assets are assessed at the individual asset level as having either a finite or
indefinite life. Intangible assets are regarded to have an indefinite useful life when, based
on analysis of all of the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over
which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the Group.
Intangible assets with finite useful life amounted to P1,561 and P1,240 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 14).
- 29 -
Impairment of Goodwill and Trademarks and Brand Names with Indefinite Lives. The
Group determines whether goodwill and trademarks and brand names are impaired at
least annually. This requires the estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating
units to which the goodwill is allocated and the value in use of the trademarks and brand
names. Estimating value in use requires management to make an estimate of the
expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and from the trademarks and
brand names and to choose a suitable discount rate to calculate the present value of those
cash flows.
The carrying values of goodwill as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P5,201
and P5,348, respectively (Note 14).
The carrying values of trademarks and brand names amounted to P2,251 and P1,962 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 14).
The total carrying values of goodwill and trademarks and brand names with indefinite
useful lives arising from business combinations as of December 31, 2008 and 2007
amounted to P7,452 and P7,310, respectively (Note 14).
Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets. The Group reviews its deferred tax assets at each
balance sheet date and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax asset to be utilized. The Group’s assessment on the recognition of deferred tax assets
on deductible temporary difference and carryforward benefits of MCIT and NOLCO is
based on the projected taxable income in the following periods.
Deferred tax assets amounted to P7,638 and P4,973 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively (Note 20).
- 30 -
Present Value of Defined Benefit Obligation. The present value of the pension
obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis
using a number of assumptions. These assumptions are described in Note 31 to the
consolidated financial statements and include discount rate, expected return on plan
assets and salary increase rate. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are
accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the
recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods.
The assumption of the expected return on plan assets is determined on a uniform basis,
taking into consideration the long-term historical returns, asset allocation and future
estimates of long-term investment returns.
The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. It is the
interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash
outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the
appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates on government bonds
that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid. The terms to
maturity of these bonds should approximate the terms of the related pension liability.
Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market
conditions.
While it is believed that the Group’s assumptions are reasonable and appropriate,
significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may
materially affect the Group’s pension and other pension obligations.
The Group has a net cumulative unrecognized actuarial loss amounting to P268 and P184
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (Note 31).
Fair Value of Agricultural Produce. The Group determines the fair value of its
agricultural produce based on most recent market transaction price provided that there
has been no significant change in economic circumstances between the date of
transactions and balance sheet date. Point-of-sale cost is estimated based on most recent
transaction and is deducted from the fair value in order to measure the fair value of
agricultural produce at point of harvest.
Unrealized gain (loss) on fair value adjustments included in the cost of inventories as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to (P2) and P52, respectively (Note 9).
Financial Assets and Liabilities. The Group carries certain financial assets and liabilities
at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments.
Significant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable
objective evidence (i.e., foreign exchange rates, interest rates, volatility rates). The
amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Group utilized different valuation
methodologies and assumptions. Any change in the fair value of these financial assets
and liabilities would affect profit and loss and equity.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities are discussed in Note 37.

5. Segment Information
Business Segments
The business segment is determined as the primary segment reporting format as the
Group’s risks and rates of return are affected predominantly by differences in the
products and services produced. The operating businesses are organized and managed
separately according to the nature of the products produced and services provided, with
each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and
serves different markets.
The Group is organized into three major business segments – beverage, food and
packaging.
The beverage segment produces and markets alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.
The food segment includes, among others, the breeding, hatching, processing and
marketing of chicken; production and marketing of feeds and flour, dairy products, snack
foods, coffee, oil and fresh, ready-to-cook and processed meats.
The packaging segment is involved in the production and marketing of the following
packaging products, among others, glass containers, glass molds, polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) bottles and preforms, PET recycling, plastic closures, corrugated
cartons, woven polypropylene/kraft sacks and paperboard, pallets, flexible packaging,
plastic crates, plastic floorings, plastic films, plastic trays, plastic pails and tubs, crate and
plastic pallet leasing, metal closures and two-piece aluminum cans, woven products,
industrial laminates and radiant barriers. It is also involved in PET bottle filling graphics
design, packaging research and testing, packaging development and consultation,
contract packaging and trading.
Geographical Segments
The Group’s major businesses primarily operate in the following geographical areas –
Philippines, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand.
Inter-segment Transactions
Segment revenues, expenses and performance include sales and purchases between
business segments and between geographical segments. Transfer prices between
business segments are set on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions
with third parties. Such transfers are eliminated in consolidation.

c. BOC
In October 2007, SMPI and SMCRP entered into a subscription agreement pursuant
to which SMPI and SMCRP agreed to subscribe, subject to certain terms and
conditions, to 10,000,000 unissued and unsubscribed common shares of BOC with an
aggregate par value of P1,000 (P100 per share) for P2,000 (P200 per share),
equivalent to 34% of the total outstanding capital stock of BOC, with SMPI and
SMCRP holding 30% and 4% equity ownership interest, respectively. In 2007,
SMPI paid P500 to BOC, this was presented as part of noncurrent receivables and
- 48 -
deposits under “Other noncurrent assets” account as of December 31, 2007
(Note 15).
In April 2008, SMPI and SMCRP paid the balance of its payable to BOC for its
subscirption amounting to P1,500, of which P1,249 and P251 were paid by SMPI and
SMCRP, respectively.
In May 2008, SMPI and SMCRP entered into a subscription agreement with BOC for
a total of 10,000,000 additional shares in BOC, wherein SMPI subscribed to an
additional 3,001,779 shares, from the increase in the authorized capital stock of BOC
with an aggregate par value of P300 (P100 per share) for P600 (P200 per share) to
maintain its 30% stake in BOC, while SMCRP will increase its holdings in BOC to
21%. As of December 31, 2008, SMPI has made an advance payment of P150 which
is presented as part of noncurrent receivables and deposits under “Other noncurrent
assets” account (Note 15).
In computing for the equity in net losses and comprehensive losses of BOC, SMPI
made adjustments in the 2008 audited financial statements of BOC to conform with
the Group’s accounting policies in accordance with PFRS. Certain accounting
policies applied by BOC in its financial statements are not in accordance with PFRS,
hence the auditors’ report on these financial statements were modified. The
adjustments made by the SMPI relates to (a) inadequate reserves on non-performing
assets, investment properties and financial assets; (b) deferral of losses on sale of
non-performing loans; and (c) misstatement in the values of structured financial
instruments and certain investments properties. Management made an evaluation on
the recoverability of the carrying value of investment in BOC as of December 31,
2008, using discounted cash flow method. Management believes that its acquisition
of the significant equity interest in BOC provided the latter with fresh capital and
better opportunities, such as additional business that the Group may bring in to BOC,
to improve its operations (i.e. liquidity and profitability). The additional subscription
of SMPI and SMCRP will further improve its capital base and liquidity. On the basis
of these premises, management determined that the carrying amount of the
investment is lower than its recoverable amount and that no impairment loss on the
investment is required to be recognized for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In April 2007, the Parent Company, through San Miguel Foods Asia Limited
(SMFAL), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Well Grounded Limited

on April 25, 2007 as partial payment for the transaction. The balance of US$20 shall
be subject to interest of 7.2% per annum. The principal amount and all interest
accrued shall be due and payable on April 24, 2009. The unpaid balance is presented
as part of noncurrent receivables and deposits under “Other noncurrent assets”
account (Note 15). The gain recognized from the said transaction amounted to
US$46 (P2,149).

Total P5,201 P2,251 P5,348 P1,962
The recoverable amount of goodwill has been determined based on a valuation using
cash flow projections covering a five year period based on long range plans approved by
management. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using a constant
growth rate determined per individual cash-generating unit. This growth rate is
consistent with the long-term average growth rate for the industry. The discount rate
applied to after tax cash flow projections ranged from 6% to 14% in December 31, 2008
and 2007. The discount rates also impute the risk of the cash-generating units compared
to the respective risk of the overall market and equity risk premium.
Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on
which the recoverable amount is based would not cause its carrying amount to exceed its
recoverable amount.
The calculations of value in use are most sensitive to the following assumptions:
Gross Margins. Gross margins are based on average values achieved in period
immediately before the budget period. These are increased over the budget period for
anticipated efficiency improvements. Values assigned to key assumptions reflect past
experience, except for efficiency improvement.
Discount Rates. The Group uses the weighted average cost of capital as the discount
rates, which reflect management’s estimate of the risk specific to each unit. This is the
benchmark used by management to assess operating performance and to evaluate future
investments proposals.
Raw Material Price Inflation. Forecast consumer price are obtained from indices during
the budget period from which raw materials are purchased. Value assigned to key
assumption is consistent with external sources of information.
On December 31, 2008, an impairment loss on the goodwill of SDI amounting to P322
was recognized and is included in “Other income (charges)” account (Note 28). No
impairment loss on goodwill was recognized in 2007.

c. Treasury shares, totaling 65,475,371 Class “A” and “B” common shares, are stated at

Out of the total treasury shares, 25,450,000 common shares (15,274,484 Class “A”
common shares and 10,175,516 Class “B” common shares), with an acquisition cost
of P481, [net of the cost of the 1,000,000 shares paid to Presidential Commission on
Good Government (PCGG) as arbitral fee pursuant to the Compromise Agreement,
as herein defined] were reverted to treasury in 1991 upon implementation of the
Compromise Agreement and Amicable Settlement (Compromise Agreement)
executed by the Parent Company with the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB)
and the Coconut Industry Investment Fund (CIIF) Holding Companies in connection
with the purchase of the Parent Company shares under an agreement executed on
March 26, 1986.
Certain parties have opposed the Compromise Agreement. The right of such parties
to oppose, as well as the propriety of their opposition, has been the subject matters of
cases pending before the Sandiganbayan and the Supreme Court.
On October 10, 2000, the Parent Company filed a motion for reconsideration with the
Supreme Court to be allowed to comply with the delivery and payment of the
dividends on the treasury shares only in the event that another party, other than the
Parent Company, is declared owner of the said shares in the case for forfeiture (Civil
Case) filed by the Philippine government (Government).
On April 17, 2001, the Supreme Court denied the motion for reconsideration.
On September 19, 2003, the PCGG wrote the Parent Company to deliver to the
PCGG the stock certificates and cash and stock dividends under the Sandiganbayan
resolution upheld by the Supreme Court. The Parent Company referred the matter to
its external financial advisor and external legal counsel for due diligence and advice.
The external financial advisor presented to the BOD on December 4, 2003 the
financial impact of compliance with the resolution considering “with and without due
compensation” scenarios, and applying different rates of return to the original
amount paid by the Parent Company. The financial advisor stated that if the Parent
Company is not compensated for the conversion of the treasury shares, there will be:
(a) a negative one-off EPS impact in 2003 of approximately 17.5%; (b) net debt
- 64 -
increase of approximately P2,100; and (c) a negative EPS impact of 6.9% in 2004.
The external legal counsel at the same meeting advised the BOD that, among others,
the facts reviewed showed that (a) the compromised shares had not been validly
sequestered, (b) no timely direct action was filed to nullify the transaction, (c) no
rescission can be effected without a return of consideration, (d) more importantly,
requiring the Parent Company to deliver what it acquired from the sellers without a
substantive ground to justify it, and a direct action in which the Parent Company is
accorded full opportunity to defend its rights, would appear contrary to its basic
property and due process rights. The external legal counsel concluded that the Parent
Company has “legal and equitable grounds to challenge the enforcement” of the
Sandiganbayan resolution.
On January 29, 2004, the external legal counsel made the additional recommendation
that the Parent Company should file a Complaint-in-Intervention in the Civil Case
(now particularly identified as SB Case No. 033-F), the forfeiture case brought by
the Government involving the so-called CIIF block of the Parent Company shares of
stock of which the treasury shares are a portion. The Complaint-in-Intervention
would pray that any judgment in the Civil Case forfeiting the CIIF block of the
Parent Company shares of stock should exclude the treasury shares.
At its January 29, 2004 meeting, the BOD of the Parent Company unanimously
decided to (a) deny the PCGG demand of September 19, 2003, and (b) authorize the
filing of the Complaint-in-Intervention. Accordingly, the external legal counsel
informed the PCGG of the decision of the Parent Company and the
Complaint-in-Intervention was filed in the Civil Case.
The external legal counsel advised that because the Sandiganbayan had disallowed
the Parent Company’s intervention, the Sandiganbayan’s disposition of the so-called
CIIF block of SMC shares in favor of the Government cannot bind the Parent
Company, and that the Parent Company remains entitled to seek the nullity of that
disposition should it be claimed to include the treasury shares.
The external legal counsel also advised that the Government has, in its own court
submissions, (i) recognized the Parent Company’s right to the treasury shares on the
basis that the Compromise Agreement is valid and binding on the parties thereto; and
(ii) taken the position that SMC and UCPB had already implemented the
Compromise Agreement voluntarily, and that the PCGG had conformed to the
Agreement and its implementation. The Executive Committee of the Parent
Company approved the recommendation of external legal counsel on January 18,
2008 which was ratified by the BOD on March 6, 2008.
In the meantime, the Parent Company has available cash and shares of stock for the
dividends payable on the treasury shares.
d. The Group’s unappropriated retained earnings include its accumulated equity in net
earnings of subsidiaries and associates amounting to P57,482, P44,199 and P40,299

a. On December 31, 2008, the Group reviewed the recoverable amount of its investment
in shares of stock of SDI. It was determined that the carrying amount of the
investment is higher than its value in use and an impairment loss of P322 was
recognized. The discount rate applied to after tax cash flow projections of SDI was
12%. The impairment loss was allocated fully to goodwill (Note 14).
b. On September 30, 2007, the Yuen Long plant of SMBHK has temporarily ceased
operations. SMBHK reviewed the recoverable amount of the fixed assets of its plant

(Note 11). Value in use was calculated using the discounted value of the projected
future cash flows to be generated over the remaining useful life of the plant. A pre-tax
discount rate of 9.91% was applied to the projected future cash flows of the plant.
c. In 2007, SMPSI ceased operating two of its plants and one of its furnace. The

undertaken at each financial year by examining the financial position of the related party
and the market in which the related party operates.

35. Share-Based Transactions
ESPP
Under the ESPP, 80,396,659 shares (inclusive of stock dividends declared) of the Parent
Company’s unissued shares have been reserved for the employees of the Group until
2009 (as amended and approved by the SEC in 2001 and 2003, respectively).
A participating employee may acquire at least 100 shares of stock through payroll
deductions.
On December 5, 2002, the Parent Company’s BOD approved amendments to the ESPP.
Under the amended ESPP, all permanent Philippine-based employees of the Group, who
have been employed for a continuous period of one year prior to the subscription period,
will be allowed to subscribe at 15% discount to the market price equal to the weighted
average of the daily closing prices for three months prior to the offer period. The
amendments to the ESPP are prospective in application. Existing subscriptions shall not
be entitled to the rights granted under the amendments. The amendments of the ESPP
were approved by the SEC on February 20, 2003.
The ESPP requires the subscribed shares and stock dividends accruing thereto to be
pledged to the Parent Company until the subscription is fully paid. The right to subscribe
under the ESPP cannot be assigned or transferred. A participant may sell his shares after
the second year from the exercise date. The current portion of subscriptions receivable as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P269 and P150, respectively, presented as
part of others under “Trade and other receivables” account (Note 8). The noncurrent
portion of P259 and P483 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is reported as
part of noncurrent receivables and deposits under “Other noncurrent assets” account
(Note 15).
The number of subscribed shares under the ESPP as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are
as follows:
2008 2007
Class “A”
Paid subscribed shares 26,787,935 25,304,857
Unpaid subscriptions 6,365,600 8,173,728
Class “B”
Paid subscribed shares 9,070,020 8,129,160
Unpaid subscriptions 7,053,700 8,044,410
Total shares subscribed 49,277,255 49,652,155
- 77 -
The table below shows the number and weighted average exercise prices of grants:
The average market price of the shares granted was P42.36, P70.40 and P65.30 per share
in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for Class “A” common shares and P41.53 P74.14
and P76.84 per share in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for Class “B” common
shares.
The average remaining contractual life of the ESPP was 0.60, 1.06 and 1.28 years as of
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for Class “A” common shares and
0.46, 1.06 and 0.82 years as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for
Class “B” common shares.
LTIP
The Parent Company also maintains LTIP for executives of the Group. The options are
exercisable at the fair market value of the Parent Company shares as of date of grant,
with adjustments depending on the average stock prices of the prior three months.
A total of 54,244,905 shares, inclusive of stock dividends declared, are reserved for the
LTIP over its 10-year life. The LTIP is administered by the Executive Compensation
Committee of the Parent Company’s BOD.
On March 1, 2007, the Parent Company approved the grant of stock options to 822
executives consisting of 18,312,782 shares based on the closing price of the Parent
Company’s share, computed in accordance with the provisions of LTIP. Also on June 26,
2008, the Parent Company approved the grant of stock options to 742 executives
consisting of 7,456,452 shares.
Options to purchase 12,450,337 shares and 6,649,520 shares in 2008 and 2007,
respectively were outstanding at the end of each year. Options which were exercised and
cancelled totaled about 1,757,429 shares and 2,477,505 shares in 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The stock options granted under the LTIP cannot be assigned or transferred by a
participant and are subject to a vesting schedule. After one complete year from the date
of the grant, 33% of the stock option becomes vested. Another 33% is vested on the
second year and the remaining option lot is fully vested on the third year.
Vested stock options may be exercised at any time, up to a maximum of eight years from
the date of grant. All unexercised stock options after this period are considered forfeited.
- 78 -
A summary of the status of the outstanding share stock options and the related weighted
average exercise price under the LTIP is shown below:
The shares covered by the LTIP are offered for subscription to the participants for
three years from approval of the LTIP by the SEC.
The fair value of equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the date of grant
using Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions
upon which the options were granted.
The inputs to the model used to measure the fair value of the shares granted in 2008 and
2007 are as follows:
The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2008 and 2007 was P12.31 and
P18.91, respectively for Class “A” common shares and P10.60 and P19.37, respectively,
for Class “B” common shares.
The range of exercise prices for options outstanding was P54.50 to P57.50 and P54.50 to
P65 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for Class “A” common shares and
P62.50 to P89.50, as of December 31, 2007, respectively for Class “B” common shares.
The average remaining contractual life of the LTIP was 1.43, 1.99 and 1.30 years as of
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for Class “A” common shares and
1.30, 1.99 and 1.41 years as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for
Class “B” common shares.
- 79 -
Share-based payment charged to operations, included under “Administrative expenses”
account, amounted to P253, P258 and P188 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Group also enters into derivative transactions such as commodity and currency
options, forwards and swaps. The Group uses derivatives to manage its exposures to
foreign currency, interest and commodity price risks arising from the Group’s operations
and financing activities.
The main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk
and market risk - interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. The
BOD has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s
risk management framework. The Group’s risk management policies are established to
identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and
controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and
systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s
activities.
The Group’s accounting policies in relation to derivatives are set out in Note 3.
The Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate
debts.
In managing interest rate, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations
on the Group’s earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in interest
rates would have an impact on consolidated earnings.
The sensitivity to reasonably possible 1% increase in the interest rates, with all other
variables held constant, would have decreased the Group’s profit before tax (through the
impact on floating rate borrowings) by P474 and P539 as of December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. A 1% decrease in the interest rate would have had the equal but
opposite effect. There is no impact on the Group’s equity.

Foreign Currency Risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk results from its business transactions and
financing arrangements denominated in foreign currency. The Group uses a combination
of natural hedges and derivative hedges to manage its foreign currency exposure. It uses
currency derivatives to reduce earnings volatility related to foreign exchange movements.
Short-term currency forward contracts (deliverable and non-deliverable) are entered into
to manage foreign currency risks arising from importations, revenue and expense
transactions, and other foreign currency-denominated obligations. Currency swaps are
entered into to manage foreign currency risks relating to long-term foreign
currency-denominated debts.

Commodity Swaps, Futures and Options. Commodity swaps, futures and options are
used to manage the Group’s exposures to volatility in prices of certain commodities such
as fuel oil, aluminum, soybean meal, wheat, kraft paper and freight.
Commodity Forwards. The Group enters into forward purchases of various commodities.
The prices of the commodity forwards are fixed either through direct agreement with
suppliers or by reference to a relevant commodity price index.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may encounter difficulties in
raising funds to meet commitments from financial instruments or that a market for
derivatives may not exist in some circumstances.
The Group’s objectives to manage its liquidity profile are: a) to ensure that adequate
funding is available at all times; b) to meet commitments as they arise without incurring
unnecessary costs; c) to be able to access funding when needed at the least possible cost;
and d) to maintain an adequate time spread of refinancing maturities.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based

Credit Risk
Credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the application of
credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. It is the Group’s policy to enter into
transactions with a diversity of creditworthy parties to mitigate any significant
concentration of credit risk. The Group ensures that sales of products are made to
customers with appropriate credit history and has internal mechanism to monitor the
granting of credit and management of credit exposures. The Group has made provisions,
where necessary, for potential losses on credits extended. Where appropriate, the Group
obtains collateral or arranges master netting agreements.
- 84 -
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which
comprise of cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, the Group’s
exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty with a maximum exposure
equal to the carrying amount of these instruments, net of the value of collaterals, if any.
Financial information on the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, without considering the effects of collaterals and other risk
mitigation techniques is presented below.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
The Group is subject to risks affecting the food industry, generally, including risks posed
by food spoilage and contamination. Specifically, the fresh meat industry is regulated by
environmental, health and food safety organizations and regulatory sanctions. The Group
has put into place systems to monitor food safety risks throughout all stages of
manufacturing and processing to mitigate these risks. Furthermore, representatives from
the government regulatory agencies are present at all times during the processing of
dressed chicken in all dressing plants and issue certificates accordingly. The authorities,
however, may impose additional regulatory requirements that may require significant
capital investment at short notice.
The Group is subject to risks relating to its ability to maintain animal health status
considering that it has no control over neighboring livestock farms. Livestock health
problems could adversely impact production and consumer confidence. However, the
Group monitors the health of its livestock on a daily basis and proper procedures are put
in place.
The livestock industry is exposed to risk associated with the supply and price of raw
materials, mainly grain prices. Grain prices fluctuate depending on the harvest results.
The shortage in the supply of grain will result in adverse fluctuation in the price of grain
and will ultimately increase the Group’s production cost. If necessary, the Group enters
into forward contracts to secure the supply of raw materials at reasonable price.
Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a
strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and
maximize shareholder value.
- 85 -
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments, in the light of changes in
economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust
the dividend payment to shareholders, pay-off existing debts, return capital to
shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group defines capital as paid-in capital stock, additional paid-in capital and retained
earnings, both appropriated and unappropriated. Other components of equity such as
treasury stock and cumulative translation adjustments are excluded from capital for
purposes of capital management.
The BOD has overall responsibility for monitoring capital in proportion to risk. Profiles
for capital ratios are set in the light of changes in the Group’s external environment and
the risks underlying the Group’s business, operation and industry.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of debt-to-equity ratio, which is calculated as
total debt divided by total equity. Total debt is defined as total current liabilities and total
noncurrent liabilities, while equity is total equity as shown in the consolidated balance
sheet.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

37. Financial Assets and Liabilities
The table below presents a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values
of the Group’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

Other noncurrent liabilities 25,691 25,691 454 454
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class
of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables and Noncurrent Receivables
and Deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and receivables
approximates fair value primarily due to the relatively short-term maturity of these
financial instruments. In the case of long-term receivables, the fair value is based on the
present value of expected future cash flows using the applicable discount rates.
Derivatives. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are calculated by reference to
current forward exchange rates. In the case of freestanding currency and commodity
derivatives, the fair values are determined based on prices obtained from the market and
counterparties. Fair values are also based on standard valuation models.
- 87 -
Drafts and Loans Payable and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. The carrying
amount of drafts and loans payable and accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial
instruments.
Long-term Debt. The fair value of interest-bearing fixed-rate loans is based on the
discounted value of expected future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar
types of loans as of balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, discount
rates used are from 5.7% to 6.9% and 4.8% to 6.6%, respectively. The carrying values of
floating rate loans with quarterly repricing approximate fair value.
The Group enters into various commodity derivative contracts to manage its exposure on
commodity price risk. The portfolio is a mixture of instruments including forwards,
swaps and options covering the Group’s requirements on fuel oil, aluminum, soybean
meal and wheat.
Currency Options
As of December 31, 2006, the Group has outstanding interest rate collars to manage its
interest rate exposure on its foreign currency-denominated obligations. These collars
have an aggregate notional amount of US$691 and a net positive fair value of A$1.7.
These options were part of discontinued operations disposed as of December 31, 2007.
Currency Forwards
The Group enters into forward buy US$ and Danish Krone (DKK) contracts with
aggregate notional amounts of US$54.5 and DKK28.0, respectively, to hedge existing
and anticipated foreign currency-denominated purchases. The Group also enters into
forward sell US$ and New Zealand Dollar (NZ$) contracts with an aggregate notional
amounts of US$1.2 and NZ$2.3, respectively, to hedge existing and anticipated foreign
currency-denominated sales. These forward contracts matured in various dates in 2007.
As of December 31, 2006, the net negative fair value of these freestanding currency
forwards amounted to A$19. These were part of discontinued operations disposed as of
December 31, 2007.
- 88 -
Commodity Options
As of December 31, 2008, the Group has outstanding bought and sold options covering

a. Contingencies
The Group is a party to certain lawsuits or claims (mostly labor related cases) filed
by third parties which are either pending decision by the courts or are subject to
settlement agreements. The outcome of these lawsuits or claims cannot be presently
determined. In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the eventual
liability from these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
On April 12, 2004 and May 26, 2004, the Parent Company was assessed by the BIR
for deficiency excise tax on one of its beer products. The Parent Company contested
the assessments before the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) under CTA case numbers
7052 and 7053. In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the Parent
Company has strong legal grounds to contest the assessments.
On November 27, 2007, the Parent Company filed with the CTA, under CTA case
number 7708, a second claim for refund, also in relation to the contested
assessments, as it was obliged to continue paying excise taxes in excess of what it
believes to be the applicable excise tax rate. An independent CPA was likewise
commissioned by the CTA in this case for the purpose of conducting an examination,
verification and audit of the documents supporting the aforesaid claim. In a report
recently submitted to the CTA, the independent CPA stated that the second claim is
properly supported by the relevant documents.
On January 11, 2008, the BIR addressed a letter to the Parent Company, appealing to
the Parent Company to settle its alleged tax liabilities subject of CTA case numbers
7052 and 7053 “in order to obviate the necessity of issuing a Warrant of Distraint and
Garnishment and/or Levy”. The Parent Company’s external legal counsel responded
to the aforesaid letter and met with appropriate officials of the BIR and explained to
the latter the unfairness of the issuance of a Warrant of Distraint and Garnishment
and/or Levy against the Parent Company, especially in view of the Parent Company’s
pending claims for refund. As of March 26, 2009, the BIR has taken no further action
on the matter.

interest in its major subsidiaries, such as beer, food and packaging subsidiaries, with
