in the Complaint.

DD Engagement To prove the allegations in


Agreement support of the prayer for the
payment of damages by
9
Defendants to the Plaintiffs,
which includes attorney’s fees.

The 2008 Financial Statements show that Defendants' gross


mismanagement, excessive compensation, abusive and wasteful use of
corporate funds and assets have already caused GREEN to lose the
amount of P406,852.00 in the year 2008. Defendants misappropriated
and siphoned the funds of the Corporation by disbursing to themselves
at the very least, the amount of P857,000 in the form of Per Diems,
Employees’ Benefits and Directors’ Fees. This amount is on top of the
salaries received by Defendants Ma. Corazon V. Dulay and Roberto G.
Vasquez.

One year after, in 2009, Defendants falsified entries in the Corporation's


financial statements to hide their excessive compensation and abuse of
corporate funds.

They covered up the losses suffered by the Corporation in the year 2008
by making it appear in the 2009 Financial Statements that the
Corporation was operating at a profit. Net loss already declared by the
Defendants in the 2008 Income Statement of P406,852 became income
in the amount of P10,718 in the 2008 Figures of the 2009 Income
Statement, for the same fiscal year 2008.

They stopped holding stockholders' meetings after the 2008


stockholders' meeting. To date, no stockholders' meetings have been
held for the past SEVEN years. They have absolute control over the
funds and assets of the corporation, and do not hesitate to cover up
their abuses by falsifying financial statements. It stands to reason that
Defendants' acts have already caused the corporation to suffer
tremendous losses and will bleed the corporation dry with their abuses
and fraudulent practices if left unhindered.

Through Defendants' unlawful acts, the Corporation has suffered a


massive dissipation, loss and wastage of its assets. If the management of
the affairs, possession and control of the corporation are left in the
hands of Defendants, the remaining assets of the Corporation are in
imminent danger of being further dissipated, wasted or lost.

While the Defendants are able to produce falsified financial statements


that paint a healthy picture of the Corporation's affairs to cover up its
losses, there is imminent danger not only of the paralyzation of the
Corporation’s business operations, but ultimately, of its collapse.

There is therefore an urgent need for the appointment of a receiver or


management committee to protect and preserve the assets of the

10
corporation. The only way to stem the damage inflicted by Defendants
upon the Corporation is to immediately freeze the funds and assets of
the corporation. The only way that Defendants can be made to account
for all their acts of mismanagement and abuses, and for a thorough and
independent audit of the financial situation of the Corporation can be
made is through the appointment of an independent receiver or a
management committee to immediately take over the management of
the Corporation.

With the admission of the foregoing exhibits and the testimonial


evidence for the Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs earnestly entreat the Honorable
Court for the immediate issuance of an order appointing a receiver or
management committee, without prejudice to the presentation of
additional evidence if necessary in the hearing of the main case..

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, Plaintiffs most respectfully


pray of this Honorable Court that the instant application be granted and
for the Honorable Court to issue an order appointing a receiver, and if
necessary, a management committee to immediately take over the
management of the Corporation, as well as the custody and control of all
assets and properties owned or possessed by the Corporation.
Other reliefs just and equitable are likewise prayed for.

Most respectfully submitted.
