PART I - BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Business
The Company
D&L Industries, Inc. (the “Company” or “D&L”) was incorporated on July 27, 1971. The Company is a
publicly listed company, which is 69% beneficially owned by the Lao family, the rest by the public.
The Company’s registered office address and principal place of business is 65 Industria St., Bagumbayan,
Quezon City.
The Company is the holding company for a group of companies with interests in the customization,
development, and manufacturing of food ingredients (Oleo-Fats, Incorporated), colorants, additives, and
engineered polymers for plastics (D&L Polymer and Colours, Inc., and First in Colours, Inc.), aerosol
products (Aero-Pack Industries, Inc.), as well as manufacturing of oleochemicals, resins, and powder
coating (Chemrez Technologies, Inc., and Natura Nutricare Corporation). It also renders management and
other services to subsidiaries and affiliate companies. It was officially listed on the Philippine Stock
Exchange (PSE) on December 12, 2012.
On October 7, 2014, the Company, through the conduct of a tender offer, acquired 65% of the
outstanding shares of Chemrez Technologies that it did not own. D&L Industries now owns 99.7% of
Chemrez Technologies.
The following diagram shows the corporate structure of the Company subsequent to the listing and
acquisition of Chemrez Technologies, excluding beneficial ownership of securities held by the Lao
family members. As of December 31, 2016, the Company is 58% owned by Jadel Holdings Co., Inc. (JHI)
and 11% owned by the Lao Family. The remaining 31% of the shares outstanding are publicly held.

Corporation
D&L’s major subsidiaries and their corresponding dates of incorporation with the SEC are as
follows:
The Company today is principally a holding company, which derives the majority of its income from
subsidiaries engaged in four principal business lines, as set out below:
Food ingredients – The Company, operating through its subsidiary OFI, manufactures a line of bulk
and specialty fats and oils, culinary and other specialty food ingredients. The Company contract
manufactures and provides food ingredient products to most of the leading food manufacturers
and quick-service restaurant chains in the Philippines, and also produces food safety solutions
such as cleaning and sanitation agents for various customers;
5
Colorants and plastics additives – The Company, operating through its subsidiaries FIC and DLPC,
manufactures a line of pigment blends, color and additive masterbatches and engineered polymers
for a wide range of applications, introducing a number of products into the Philippine market and
expanding into the export of certain products overseas. The Company’s products add properties
such as precise coloring, reduced friction, increased resistance to degradation, as well as
biodegradability for plastics used in consumer goods, appliances and outdoor furniture;
Aerosols – The Company, operating through its subsidiary Aero-Pack, manufactures three-piece
aerosol cans and components and provides aerosol contract filling and compounding services. The
Company also toll manufactures a range of related products, including insect control, industrial
maintenance chemicals, and home and personal care products, among others.
Oleochemicals, resins and powder coatings – The Company, operating through Chemrez
Technologies, and its subsidiary Chemrez, Inc., manufactures CME, also known as coco-biodiesel,
using the Philippines’ first continuous-process methyl ester plant. The Company also manufactures
other oleochemicals or chemicals derived from vegetable oils, resins such as polystyrene, acrylic
emulsions and polyester, and a line of powder coatings.
Food Ingredients
The Company, through OFI, markets and distributes a line of bulk edible oils and specialty food
ingredients. The Company believes that it is the leading manufacturer of bulk and specialty fats and
oils and other food ingredients in the Philippines. It serves customers across the food and beverage
industry, including manufacturers of instant noodles and snack food, dairy and culinary, food service,
biscuits and confectionery and bakeries, as well as domestic and international quick-service restaurant
chains. The Company also contract manufactures food ingredient products for certain customers. The
Company’s product line has expanded to over 800 varieties of food ingredients, including specialty fats,
dry and liquid mixes, and specialty condiments, driven by its ability to create customized products
according to its customers’ requirements. As a result, the Company derives more than half of its food
ingredients revenue from the manufacture and sale of customized products, which generally provide
higher profit margins than bulk items such as refined vegetable oils.
In addition to food ingredients and oils, the Company provides food safety solutions and services such
as customized cleaning and sanitation systems, designed and manufactured to meet the needs of
customers. All of the Company’s food safety solutions are supported by professional and technical
services.
The Company, through its subsidiaries FIC and DLPC, manufactures custom designed and formulated
pigment blends, color and additive masterbatches and engineered polymers for a wide range of
applications in the plastics industry. FIC focuses on the domestic market, while DLPC focuses primarily
on the export market.
The Company believes it has the longest history in the Philippine plastics color and compound industries,
and its brand has been trusted by customers for over 50 years for their color concentrate requirements
for films, tapes, moldings, wires and cables, high-end fibers and other engineered polymers. The Company
at various times has entered into technical assistance agreements with select international partners to
increase its expertise in terms of research and development. Also, the Company works with customers
to create color products and solutions that best represent the customer’s products in the market, with
6
research showing that a product’s color and appearance are key factors in a consumer’s buying decision
and a critical element in the successful marketing of product. The state-of-the-art technology used by
the Company has given end-user customers a broad range of color choices and forms.
The Company also provides additives for plastics processed by customers that enable reduced
production costs or add desirable features and properties to plastics. Appropriate filler additives can
reduce production costs by substituting polymers with relatively inert and inexpensive materials that
make the end product cheaper by weight. Filler additives may also increase the performance of a
plastic by modifying its properties, as additives contribute a wide range of properties to plastic products.
For example, additives can make plastic products biodegradable and compostable. Additives can also
lower the flammability of plastics used in household items, reduce friction between plastic parts, or
increase a plastic’s resistance to degradation caused by light sources for items such as outdoor furniture.
In addition to providing colorants or additives to customers for their own processing, the Company
also provides custom engineered polymers, or engineered polymers, designed to have the precise color
and properties required by the customer. Custom compounded products are delivered as plastic pellets
to the customer’s production plant for conversion into end-use products.
The Company also offers its customers toll compounding services. Toll compounding services enable
customers to offer specialty compounds branded with their own label. Customers may take advantage
of the Company’s extensive engineering and manufacturing experience to handle production and
logistics, increasing their effective manufacturing capacity without incurring expansion costs.
Chemrez Technologies (and its subsidiary Chemrez, Inc.) manufactures and markets an extensive line
of oleochemicals (such as biodiesel), resins, and powder coatings for both domestic and export
markets. Exports comprised approximately 20%, 22% and 22% and 21% of Chemrez’s revenues in 2016,
2015 and 2014 respectively. Oleochemicals and other specialty chemical products represented 69%
and 31%, respectively, of Chemrez’s consolidated revenues for 2016.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company owned approximately 100% of Chemrez, after a successful
tender offer for the remaining 65% of Chemrez from the public, as well as individual family members
and companies held by the Lao Family. Chemrez Technologies was delisted from the Philippine Stock
Exchange on January 10, 2015
Oleochemicals – CME/biodiesel
Biodiesel accounts for bulk of the oleochemical business of the Company. Its IMS‐certified, pioneering
continuous process methyl ester (CME) facility and coco‐biodiesel products are accredited with the
Department of Energy and registered with the Board of Investments with pioneer status. Chemrez also
serves as a major contributor to the National Biofuels Program under RA 9367, otherwise known as
the Biofuels Act of 2006. The Biofuels Act provides for national mandates for increased use of biofuels
and, in February 2009, the biodiesel mandate was increased from a 1% (B1) to a 2% (B2) blend.
While this required a significant step‐up in production commitment to satisfactorily meet higher local
demand, there are sufficient indigenous sources of coconut oil (CNO) feedstock in the country.
Presently, the local biodiesel industry is composed of 15 DOE-accredited producers including the
Company. The Company believes that its commitment to excellence in quality, delivery, and cost
competitiveness would allow it to be a primary domestic supplier of choice by oil companies and
institutional buyers. The extensive quality management systems of the Company and its investments in
logistics infrastructure and supply chain management were designed to help assure the continuous
7
bulk supply of compliant biodiesel to local oil companies and generate cost efficiencies that are passed
on to its customers.
Other oleochemical products of the Company include glycerin and other methyl ester (CME)
derivatives, which are used mainly as surfactants or foaming agents for soaps and detergents, and
are sold principally in the export markets. Part of the strategy to grow the CME export markets, the
Company continues to develop new applications of CMEs to expand its product and market base. Through
the use of pioneering process technology, products that have high export potential have been recently
developed.
The Company has a solid record of experience and expertise in the manufacture and marketing of
powder coating, resins, and other specialty resin‐based chemicals.
▪ Powder coatings are protective materials applied to metal and other surfaces through an
electrostatic coating process to provide resistance against heat, weather and UV light, and certain
chemicals. It is used in home appliances, metal furniture, fixtures and fittings, mechanical parts, tools
and equipment and also in the construction industry.
▪ Resins are polymerized or chemically modified substances, which are manufactured in a variety
of technical specifications to suit specific industry uses, end-user applications, and customer
requirements. It includes polystyrene resins for the plastics industry, polymer emulsions for the
paint industry, and polyester resins for the construction, shipping, and furniture industries.
The Company has maintained its market leadership in powder coatings and resins through competitive
pricing, consistent quality, and the ability to offer product customization and provide on-site after-sales
technical support to customers. The Company also continues to invest in research and development to
develop new powder coating and resin products with improved and innovative features. It competes
mainly against importers and traders.
The Company attributes its strong market position to several factors. Its operating scale allows it to
manufacture products at highly competitive costs. Beyond price competition, the Company has
established long-standing relationships with its customers. These partnerships allow the Company to
respond quickly to customer requirements and offer newer and better products out of its extensive
efforts and achievements in research and development.
Aerosols
The Company, through Aero-Pack, is the first and only company in the Philippines to design and
develop customized aerosol products focusing on maintenance chemicals and home and personal care
products. Aero-Pack also supplies three-piece aerosol cans and components, which comprise the
majority of aerosol product requirements in the Philippines and globally. Aero-Pack also provides
customized contract filling and formulation services.
The Company offers products with a wide range of applications, including insect control, industrial
maintenance chemicals, home and personal care products. The Company also produces, on a toll
manufacturing basis, non-aerosol products such as insecticides, liquid and gel disinfectants, cleaners,
polishers and liquid soaps.

Management and administration
D&L maintains significant operational control of OFI, FIC (including DLPC), Chemrez, and Aero-Pack, as
well as of several affiliate companies that provide goods and services complimentary to those provided
by the Company, including FIC Marketing Co. Inc., FIC Tankers, Inc., Consumer Care Products Inc. and
LBL Prime Properties, Inc., among others, through a contractual “shared services” model. In particular,
D&L Industries provides the following services to its subsidiaries and affiliate companies:
Administrative Support - including finance, treasury, accounting, internal audit, human resources,
information technology and legal services;
Logistics Support - which includes warehousing, distribution and delivery, transportation fleet
management, tank farm management, port clearing and procurement; and
Technical Services - which includes research and development, quality control and assurance and use
of trademarks. The technical services for all business operations are concentrated in D&L’s research
and development department, which the Company believes has been a critical driver for the success
of each of its business lines.
D&L maintains its own analytical laboratory that provides technical services and is located in its
headquarters in Quezon City, Metro Manila. While D&L continues to provide management services
for this facility, specific research, development and application activities are conducted, and expenses are
incurred, by OFI, FIC (including DLPC), Chemrez Technologies, and Aero-Pack independently. D&L’s and
its subsidiaries’ research laboratories employ highly qualified chemical engineers, chemists, consultants,
technicians and support staff who service the customers of the Company in the following industries:
plastics and rubber, aerosol, paint and ink, soap and detergent, paper, adhesive, textile, cosmetics and
food and beverage.
General Operations
▪ Additional discussion on other business risks are also provided in Note 23 of the 2016
Consolidated Audited Financial Statement of the Company attached herein.
▪ The Company, in the ordinary course of business, transacts with related parties. These transactions
include the purchase/sale of goods and services. Details of the Related Party Transaction are
discussed under Notes 1 (General Information) and 18 (Related Party Transaction) of the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
▪ As of December 31, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries have a total of 673 employees. The
workforce is complemented by 1,152 people from different service providers. None of the employees
have collective bargaining agreements with the Company. Also, the Company does not expect any
significant change in its existing workforce level in 2017.

Management of Key Risks related to the Company
As of end 2016, 82% of the Company’s consolidated revenues are domestic. With a substantial portion
of its business conducted and all of its assets located in the Philippines, the Company is exposed to risks
associated with the Philippines, including political instability, exchange rate fluctuations, and occurrence
of natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes.
The Company has contingency plans in place in cases of incidents – natural and man-made. These
include centralized fire protection and disaster prevention systems. The Company also self-insures by
maintaining a relatively high level of asset liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents and
receivables, to protect its businesses against other potential risks. As of end-2016, cash and cash
equivalents were 14% of the Company’s total assets.
The Company derives 61% of its consolidated revenues from high margin specialties. These are
innovation-driven products, mostly tailor-made to the customer’s needs. The higher the level of
customization involved, the higher the profitability. Failure to anticipate and meet the requirements
of our customers, as well as keep pace with evolving technological innovations in its markets might
adversely impact business activities and profitability.
To make sure that the Company can respond effectively and efficiently to market needs, about 14%
of its workforce is in the technical department. These employees pursue various research and
development activities, including product development and application, as well as quality assurance.
As a manufacturing company, 85% of total costs and expenses are raw materials, primarily palm oil,
coconut oil, and other types of vegetable oils, as well as monomers, polymers, and other chemicals.
Prices of these raw materials tend to be volatile and the Company’s ability to pass on significant changes
in the cost of raw materials to customers is largely dependent upon contractual relationships and
market condition.
The Company does not fix the selling price for most of its contracts with customers. Prices for the
contracts are re-set every month on average, enabling the Company to pass on relevant price changes
in raw material costs.
The Company’s largest customers account for a sizeable portion of the business. The top three largest
customers, mostly food ingredients customers, accounted for 26% of consolidated revenues in 2016.
These customers are large multinational and local corporations. Significant changes in any of these
customers’ purchases might have material impact on the Company’s businesses and profitability.
10
The products sold to these customers are mostly customized for which the Company is almost the
sole supplier, in turn generating a stable base of sales volume for the Company. Nonetheless, cognizant
of the risk of customer concentration, the Company continues to work closely with customers in order
to get good demand visibility. Part of managing risks associated with customer concentration is
assessing such risks against operational and strategic factors including economies of scale and
knowledge accumulation.
Item 2. Properties
Real Properties
The Company does not own any land and operates an asset-light business model. It leases real property,
barges, and storage tanks used in its businesses from related parties LBL Prime Properties, Inc, FIC
Tankers, Inc., and FIC Marketing, as well as from other third party lessors. The Company’s lease
agreements are typically for a period of one to five years and are renewable unless terminated by
either party. Rentals are generally subject to an escalation of five percent annually starting on the
second year of the lease term. None of the Company’s properties used in its operations are subject to
any material liens, encumbrances or restrictions of use.
To support the Company’s centralized distribution and motor pool functions, the Company owns 53
delivery trucks, with a total capacity of 1,394 MT. The Company also operates 6 cargo barges owned
by affiliates with an aggregate capacity of approximately 10,400 MT.
The Company’s production and warehouse/storage facilities are ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001
(environmental), OHSAS 18001 (safety) and CIP/39051/07/03/519 (Stage 2 certification) certified
and committed to excellence in quality, delivery, and cost competitiveness to its customers.
In August 2009, the Company’s laboratory facility was awarded a Certificate of Accreditation as an
ISO 17025 Chemical Testing Lab by the Department of Trade and Industry’s Philippine Accreditation
Office, attesting to its high-quality facilities and employees. The Company has continuously upgraded
this and its other application laboratories to allow it to continuously seek and implement innovations
across the Company’s entire product design and development cycle.
Intellectual Properties
The Company believes that all proprietary product names, devices and logos used by the Company
and its subsidiaries are registered with or are covered by a pending Application for Registration with
the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, and have been filed or are owned by the Company.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company and its affiliates had over 271 registered trademarks covering
a wider range of products such as resins, colorants, foam concentrates, fats and oils, powder coating
and biofuel compounds, among others.
As of date of this report, the Company is not a party to any litigation or arbitration proceedings of
material importance, which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or
on the results of its operations. No litigation or claim of material importance is known to be pending
or threatened against the Company or any of its properties.

I. Results of Operations
Reported net income available to common shareholders increased by 15% to P2.6 billion in 2016 from
P2.3 billion in 2015, or earnings per share of P0.37 versus 2015’s P0.32.
Consolidated revenues of P22.2 billion in 2016 were 14% higher than P19.6 billion in 2015. The growth
in consolidated revenues was mainly driven by the broad-based increase in sales volume and higher
prices of raw materials.
Gross profit for the year increased by 12% to P4 billion from P3.6 billion in 2015, driven by higher
revenues and improved product mix. Gross profit margin was maintained at over 18% while net profit
margin was steady at 12%.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by 16% to P564 million from P486 million in 2015 as delivery
charges and employee costs increased by 18% and 13%, respectively.
13
Administrative expenses declined by 4% to Php268 million coming off from a high base in 2015 due to
the one-time tax and filing costs for the increase in the Company’s authorized capital.
Other income (net), which include foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income, dividend income,
rental income, and other miscellaneous income, declined by 27% to P85 million. The Company booked
a higher foreign exchange gain in 2016 at P69 million versus just 11 million in 2015. This partially offset
the absence of P83 million in one-off gains from the land and building in 2015.
Finance costs was lower by 42% at P91 million as the Company booked forex gains from borrowing
amounting to P22 million this year compared to a P53 million loss last year.
Income tax expense grew 13% to P581 million from P513 million in 2015 which was just in-line with
the overall revenue and profit growth.
The Food Ingredients group posted a 13% increase in net income to P937 million in 2016 from P826
million in 2015. This was largely driven by a 13% increase in volume backed by strong domestic
business and as agreements with foreign principals such as Ventura and Bunge start to bear fruits.
Segment gross profit margin compressed by 1.2 ppts to 14% due to higher commodity prices and the
30-45-day lag in price adjustment. However, margins should recover in the succeeding quarters
following the price adjustments.
In line with the expected recovery this year, Specialty Plastics group posted a net income growth of 20%
to Php629 million. This was largely attributable to the 8% increase in volume coupled with a 4.4 ppts
improvement in overall gross profit margin. Specialty plastics benefited from the continued growth in
disposable income, as per capita consumption continues to increase. Moreover, wire harness-related
exports posted strong results as port congestion-affected businesses started to recover.
Oleochemicals group net income increased by 5% to Php858 million in 2015. This was fueled by a 1%
increase in sales volume and a +0.7 ppt improvement in overall gross profit margin. Ongoing efforts to
strengthen commercial and operational execution improved the performance of
the Other Specialty Chemicals segment, which saw a 2% volume growth in 2016 after several years of
volume decline. Revenue mix within the group is also becoming more favorable, as it shifts
towards higher margin specialty chemicals that cater to faster growing and less volatile end markets.
The Aero-Pack group posted the highest net income growth for the period, at 44%. This was led by the
24% growth in volume and 4.4 pts improvement in gross profit margin. Within the group, Personal Care
is the fastest growing segment, posting a 32% increase in revenues and 42% increase in volume. The
Company expects the segment’s strong growth momentum to continue as aerosol penetration in the
Philippines remains low. Moreover, the segment should benefit from the increasing consumer demand
across all categories, due to rising levels of disposable income in the country.
shares
The Company’s current ratio remained healthy in 2016. It stood at 2.68x, marginally lower than 2.94x
in 2015 as higher commodity prices resulted in an increase in accounts payable and other short-term
debt.
Cash level at the end of 2016 stood at P2.8 billion which was lower by P346 million year-on-year mainly
attributable to the increase in working capital requirement due to higher commodity prices.
Cash conversion cycle was kept at 121 days with Accounts Receivable days, Inventory days, and
Accounts Payable days maintained at 61, 82, and 22, respectively.
Prepayments and other current assets increased by 22% to Php2.1 billion in 2016 from Php1.7 billion
mainly due to higher input VAT which went up by 38%.
The Company remained lightly geared in 2016 with net debt to equity ratio manageable at 0.15x.
Interest cover stood at 29x. Total borrowings as of end-2016 amounted to P4.9 billion, with only P1
billion in long-term debt.
Retained earnings increased by 55% in 2016 to P3.3 billion mainly as a result of higher net income for
the year. Total dividends paid amounted to Php1.4 billion which translated to a 63% payout ratio based
on previous year’s net income.
Total equity increased by 10% to P14 billion on the back of higher retained earnings.
The Company remained operating cash flow and free cash flow positive in 2016 despite the volatility in
foreign exchange and commodity prices.
- Net cash generated from operating activities stood at P0.9 billion, a significant drop from P3.8
billion generated in 2015. This was mainly accounted for by the increase in working capital
requirement amounting to Php2.4 billion given higher commodity prices.
- Net cash used in investing activities amounted to P0.4 billion which was mainly spent on
acquisition of property and equipment. This was a reversal from the P28 million cash generated
from investing activities in 2015 when the Company realized a one-time gain from the sale of land
owned by subsidiary Chemrez.

FY2015 versus FY2014
I. Results of Operations
The difference in the business and financial conditions of the Company in 2015 was the result of the full
consolidation of Chemrez Technologies, Inc. beginning October 2014. This followed the Company’s
acquisition of the 65% of Chemrez’s outstanding shares. Prior to the transaction, Chemrez was only
34%-owned and was thus considered an associate.
Reported net income available to common shareholders decreased by 16% to P2.3 billion in 2015 from
P2.7 billion in 2014, or earnings per share of P0.32 versus 2014’s P0.38. The decline stemmed from the
one-time re-measurement gain in 2014 on previously held interest in Chemrez.
Consolidated revenues of P19.6 billion in 2015 were 21% higher than P16.1 billion in 2014 due to full
consolidation of Chemrez in 2015.
Gross profit for the year increased by 40% to P3.6 billion from P2.6 billion in 2014, driven by higher
revenues and improved product mix.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by 13% to P486 million from P430 million as delivery charges
and employee costs increased by 12% and 22%, respectively.
Administrative expenses were higher by 77% to P280 million from P158 million in 2014. This was
mostly from the one-time tax and filing costs incurred in 2015 amounting to P46 million for the increase
in the Company’s authorized capital stock.
Other income (net), which included foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income, dividend
income, rental income, and other miscellaneous income, grew 231% to P117 million. This was mostly
from the one-off gain on sale of Chemrez property in 2015 amounting to P83 million. The Company also
booked a foreign exchange gain of P11 million in 2015 versus a P4 million foreign exchange loss in 2014.
Finance costs were higher by 248% to P158 million from P45 million due to the P53 million in
unrealized foreign exchange loss booked in 2015 compared to P96 thousand in 2014.
Income tax expense grew 36% to P513 million from P377 million in 2014 due to higher taxable income
following the full consolidation of Chemrez in 2015.
For food ingredients, healthy margin expansion in both specialties and commodities drove record-high
gross profit margin. This offset the 10% decline in revenues to P10.2 billion as commodity prices
continued to weaken in 2015. Specialties outgrowing commodities in volume drove mix improvement
and resulted in the 19% increase in net income to P826 million.
Specialty plastics continued to face port congestion-related supply chain constraints in the first half of
2015. Difficulties in raw material importations and exports resulted in volume losses in our wire
harness business. Revenues and net income were down overall by 7% to P2.6 billion and by 4% to P526
million respectively. The rate of decrease in volume and net income however, has decelerated,
indicating a gradual rebound as the situation at the port improved.
Strong volume for oleochemicals was sustained in 2015 driven by increased demand for biodiesel, as
well as new export markets for the oleochemical specialties. This offset the underperformance of other
specialty chemicals. Overall revenues were 2% higher at P6.4 billion. Margin expansion across the board
led to a 30% increase in recurring net income to P768 million.
16
Chemrez became fully consolidated starting October 2014 after it became a 99.7%-‐owned subsidiary.
Despite lower margin for aerosols after some non-recurring sales in 2014, as well as logistical issues in
the fourth quarter of 2015, net income was up 5% year on year at P100 million. Sales were boosted by
15% to P514 million, with volume remaining flat.

shares
The Company has continued to pay down its borrowings with its higher cash levels, resulting in a
current ratio of 2.94x in 2015 versus 1.55x in 2014.
The Company continues to improve collection efficiency, with average receivable days at 61 days in
2015 compared to 63 days in 2014.
Decreased working capital requirements from the lower commodity prices, as well as monetization of
a tax credit from the biodiesel business benefited the Company cash level, which increased by P1.3
billion to P3.1 billion.
Owing to lower commodity prices, trade and other receivables fell by 17% from P3.9 billion in 2014 to
P3.3 billion in 2015. Likewise, inventories decreased by 5% from P3.8 billion in 2014 to P3.6 billion.
Prepayments and other current assets increased by 7% in 2015 to P1.7 billion from P1.6 billion in 2014,
mainly due to higher levels of prepaid and creditable withholding taxes related to the biodiesel business.
The Company’s debt to equity ratio improved to 33% from 55% in 2014, after the Company paid down
some of the debt that financed the acquisition of Chemrez. Borrowings decreased by P1.7 billion, or
31%, to P4.2 billion. The Company currently has P1.0 billion in long-term debt, with the remainder being
short-term.
17
Retained earnings in 2015 amounted to P2.1 billion, decreasing by 46% from P4.0 billion in 2014 as the
Company declared dividends in stock and cash amounting to P3.6 billion and P536 million,
respectively, in 2015. Based on the 2014 recurring net income of P2.0 billion, total cash dividend payout
ratio was 26%.
Total equity increased by 16% in 2015, or from P11.0 billion to P12.8 billion, after a 100% stock
dividend was declared. The stock dividends were issued out of the P14.0 billion increase in the
Company’s authorized capital stock.
During the year, the Company generated significantly higher cash level as working capital requirements
decreased, with a portion of the cash going to debt and dividend payments.
- Net Cash generated from operating activities in 2015 was P3.8 billion compared to P60 million in
2014 as lower commodity prices decreased working capital requirements. Further, tax credits
amounting to P749 million were monetized during the year.
- Net Cash provided by investing activities in 2015 amounted to P28 million. This compares to the
P4.8 billion used in 2014, most of which was for the acquisition of Chemrez.
- Net cash used in financing activities was lower at P2.5 billion compared to P3.1 billion that was
provided by in 2014, following higher debt and interest payments.
I. Results of Operations
The difference in the business and financial conditions of the Company in 2014 was the result of the
partial consolidation of Chemrez Technologies, Inc. beginning October 2014. This followed the
completion of the acquisition of the 65% of its outstanding shares through a public tender offer. Prior
to October 2014, Chemrez was considered an associate.
Reported net income available to common shareholders increased by 94% to P2.7 billion in 2014 from
P1.4 billion in 2013, or earnings per share of P0.38 versus 2013’s P0.20. In 2014, the Company booked
P960 million gain on re-measurement of previously held equity interest in Chemrez.
Consolidated revenues of P16.1 billion in 2014 were 50% higher than P10.8 billion in 2013, driven by
strong volume growth in food ingredients, as well as partial consolidation of Chemrez Technologies.
Gross profit for the year increased by 29% to P2.6 billion from P2.0 billion, driven by higher sales.
Equity share from net income of associate, Chemrez Technologies, Inc., increased by 39% to P147
million in 2014 from P105 million in 2013 due to higher revenues and improved margins. Prior to
October 2014, D&L owned 34% of Chemrez Technologies.
Selling and marketing expenses grew 39% to P430 million from P310 million. This was driven by the
43% increase in delivery charges on higher sales volume.
Administrative expenses increased 40% to P141 million in 2014 from P101 million the prior year. This
was driven by the 56% increase in taxes and licenses costs.
Other income (net), which included foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income, dividend
income, rental income, and other miscellaneous income, declined 32% to P35 million. Lower interest
income earned during the period mostly accounted for the decrease.
18
Finance costs were lower by 42% to P45 million from P78 million due to P96 thousand in unrealized
foreign exchange loss booked in 2014 versus P34 million in unrealized foreign exchange loss booked in
2013.
Income tax expense grew 40% to P377 million from P270 million, reflecting the higher taxable income
during the period.
Good volume growth across all categories, coupled by relatively higher commodity prices year-on-year,
drove a 45% increase in revenues of food ingredients business to P11.3 billion in 2014. Though
commodities outpaced growth in specialties, and compressed overall margins, net income was
higher by 22% to P695 million during the year.
Group sales of the plastics business were higher by 13% at P2.8 billion in 2014 on the back of double--
digit increase in volume. Challenges posed by the port congestion affected margins, particularly in the
latter part of 2014. Overall, the plastics group net income was 2% higher at P549 million.
Volume growth of aerosols was positive during the year. Margins likewise were better on improvements
in personal care and maintenance chemicals and other segments. As a result, aerosols grew revenues
by 3% to P446 million. Net income increased 8% in 2014 to P95 million.
Equity share from net income of associate, Chemrez Technologies, Inc., increased by 39% to P147
million in 2014 as its net income increased 92% year-on-year to P591 million. Sales of P6.3 billion were
45% higher year-on-year, largely driven by higher sales volume and improving margins in the
oleochemicals segment.

IV. Financial Condition
Lower cash level and higher borrowings, following the acquisition of Chemrez Technologies, resulted in
current ratio of 1.55x in 2014 versus 3.20x in 2013.
A portion of the Chemrez acquisition was funded by cash and resulted in a P1.6 billion decrease in the
Company’s cash level from P3.4 billion in 2013 to P1.8 billion in 2014.
Trade and other receivables increased by 100% from P2 billion in 2013 to P3.9 billion in 2014 as sales
across segments increased.
Inventories increased by 77% from P2.1 billion in 2013 to P3.8 billion in 2014 primarily due to higher
levels of raw materials and finished goods.
Prepayments and other current assets increased by 267% from P432 million to P1.6 billion in 2014.
These are mostly in form of creditable withholding taxes and input value added tax (VAT). The increase
was largely a result of the partial consolidation of Chemrez in 2014.
Debt (borrowings) to equity ratio of 55% was up from 19% in 2013 as the Company took on debt to
finance the acquisition of Chemrez. Borrowings increased by P4.4 billion to P6.0 billion at end 2014. All
of the Company’s borrowings are short-‐term.
Retained earnings increased by 92% to P4.1 billion due to P2.7 billion net income earned in 2014.
The Company paid P714 million in cash dividends during the year. This was equivalent to P0.20
dividend per share, composed of P0.10 in regular dividend and P0.10 in special dividend. Based on
2013 recurring net income of P1.4 billion, total payout ratio was 51%.
Total equity increased by 24% to P11.0 billion from P8.9 billion, reflecting higher net income earned
during the year partially offset by dividends paid.
During the year, the Company’s cash generally went to the payment for the acquisition of Chemrez, as
well as working capital requirements.
- Net Cash generated from operating activities in 2014 was P60 million on higher working capital
requirements. This compares to P264 million generated in 2013.
- Net cash used in investing activities in 2014 mounted to P4.8 billion, mostly to fund the acquisition
of Chemrez Technologies.
- Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to P3.1 billion, with P7.5 billion proceeds from
borrowings offset by payments of borrowings and dividends totaling P4.4 billion.
For 2017, resilient Philippine economy and robust consumer spending should continue to support
growth across all the Company’s business segment. The Company will continue to focus on margin
expansion and volume growth going forward in order to sustain profitability and earnings growth.
Moreover, the Company will continue to invest in research and innovation initiatives that will further
strengthen its reputation as a market leader in customized specialty products.
High margin specialties are expected to comprise a bigger portion of overall sales, allowing the Company
to lessen its revenue dependence on volatile commodity prices. Moreover, exports should continue to
grow as partnership with foreign principals such as Ventura and Bunge start to bear fruit.

misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made
subjective judgements; for. example, in respect of significant accounting estimates tf,at involved making
assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we als6
addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters,
consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a riik of miterial misstatement
due to fraud.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of tht Group, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

On August 29, 2014, the Parent Company’s BOD resolved to acquire all the outstanding shares of CTI
not currently owned by the Parent Company for P6.00 per share through a public tender offer for a
total acquisition cost of P5,078.5 million. On October 7, 2014 (the acquisition date), a total of
846,408,196 shares have been tendered, representing approximately 65% of the issued and
outstanding shares of CTI. As a result, CTI became a 100% owned by the Parent Company effective
October 7, 2014.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the above acquisition (common control
business combination) whereby the cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the
consideration given.
(4)
The following commercial substance of transaction supporting the rationale behind the use of purchase
method was accordingly considered by management:
(i) the main objective of the transaction is to fully consolidate the Group’s operations, through
acquisition of further interest in CTI;
(ii) a re-assessment of net assets of CTI was accordingly carried out by management;
(iii) the acquisition brought the entities together in a reporting structure that did not exist before, such
that CTI transitioned from associate to a subsidiary and from equity method of accounting to full
consolidation, at the Parent Company level;
(iv) significant change in ownership of the Parent Company from non-controlling to controlling interest
in CTI;
(v) the involvement of parties holding non-controlling interests, including public interest, from which
additional shares were acquired by the Parent Company; and
(vi) as a result of the acquisition and full consolidation, the Parent Company (as the acquiring entity) is
expected to benefit with respect to improvement in its consolidated financial performance, results
of operations and cash flows from the full consolidation of CTI.
The details of the fair value of net assets acquired at acquisition date are as follows:
Non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment 1,028.4
Input VAT 745.2
Other non-current assets 30.8
Total non-current assets 1,804.4
Total assets 5,833.6
Current liabilities
Trade and other payables 871.1
Income tax payable 28.7
Borrowings 506.8
Total liabilities 1,406.6
Net assets 4,427.0
The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired were determined on the basis of income approach,
except for property, plant and equipment, retirement benefits and deferred income tax. The fair value
of property, plant and equipment was determined based on appraisal reports by external professional
valuers. Retirement benefits and deferred income taxes were measured in accordance with PAS 19,
Retirement Benefits, and PAS 12, Income Taxes, respectively, in accordance with the provisions of
PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Exceptions to Recognition or Measurement Principles. Management
believes that the above valuation techniques are considered appropriate given the circumstances and
the nature and components of the assets and liabilities acquired.
(5)
The gross contractual amount of trade and other receivables is equivalent to its fair value at acquisition
date. There are no contingent liabilities assumed at acquisition date.
The consideration given with respect to the acquisition is based on the fair market value of CTI’s shares
on the date of acquisition totaling P5,078.5 million less acquisition-related costs amounting to P6.5
million which was charged to profit or loss in 2014. Goodwill amounting to P3,367.9 million was
recognized from this acquisition.
Also, a gain was recognized in the remeasurement of previously held equity interest to fair value
specific to this transaction amounting to P960.5 million in the Group’s consolidated statement of total
comprehensive income in 2014. The summary of this determination is presented below:
There are no other expenses paid, contingent consideration arrangement and indemnification assets in
relation to the business combination.
Cash paid for the acquisition of a subsidiary of P5,072 million is presented net of cash from acquired
subsidiary of P514.7 million for a net cash paid of P4,557.3 million in the consolidated statement of cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The consolidated statement of total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2014
include the results of operation of CTI and its subsidiary, CHI, for the period from October 7, 2014 to
December 31, 2014.

Had it been that the business combination occurred at January 1, 2014, the aggregate revenue and
profit or loss of the combined entities for year ended December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Gross profit 2,309 973 (34) 3,248
The Group has adopted the acquisition (purchase) method of accounting for common control business
combinations. In applying this method, the Group evaluates whether the business combination has
commercial substance following the Philippine Interpretations Committee Question and Answer (PIC
Q&A) 2011-02.
In making that judgment, the Group considers the purpose of the transaction, involvement of outside
parties in the transaction, whether or not the transaction is conducted at fair value, the existing
activities of the entities involved in the transactions, whether or not the transaction is bringing
entities together into a reporting entity that did not exist before, whether a new company is
established, the extent to which an acquiring entity’s future cash flows are expected to change as a
result of the business combination, among other factors.
Based on management’s judgment and assessment, the acquisition of CTI in 2014 was determined to
have commercial substance under PIC Q&A 2011-02 (Note 1.2.1).
1.2.3 Critical accounting estimate and judgment: impairment tests for goodwill; key assumptions
used for value-in-use calculations
The Group reviews goodwill annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Goodwill is monitored by management at
the level of oleochemicals, resin and powder coatings segment (lowest level of cash generating unit or
CGU) following the business acquisition of CTI as discussed in Note 1.2.
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, the recoverable amount of oleochemicals, resin and powder
coatings CGU (the “CGU”) was determined based on value-in-use (VIU) calculation (using Level 3
inputs) and require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on
financial budgets approved by the Board of Directors covering a five-year period.
(7)
The cash flow forecast reflect management’s expectation of revenue growth, operating costs and
margins based on past experience and outlook, consistent with internal measurements and monitoring.
Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated terminal growth rate. The
growth rate is consistent with forecasts included in industry reports specific in which the CGU operates.
A weighted average of cost of capital (WACC) is used in discounting the free cash flows; this reflects the
expectation of return on the capital market.
The following are the key assumptions used as at December 31, 2016 and 2015:
Based on the above assessment, goodwill is not impaired as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 as the
recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the CGU included in the financial statements.
As at December 31, 2016, if the above key assumptions increased/decreased by 1%, the recoverable
amount of the CGU will decrease/increase by P662 million/P1,752 million which will not result in an
impairment charge to goodwill.
The Group’s goodwill impairment review includes an impact assessment of changes in key assumptions
used for VIU calculations. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed, the BOD concluded that no
reasonable change in the base case assumptions would cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed
its recoverable amount.
The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed according to the nature of the products
marketed. Each segment, representing a strategic business unit, offers different products and services
to different markets.
The Group has organized its reporting structure based on the grouping of similar products and services
resulting in the following business segments:
The Group, operating through its subsidiary OFI, manufactures a line of industrial fats and oils, food
ingredients, specialty fats and oils and culinary and other specialty food ingredients. The Group
supplies food ingredients to most of the leading food manufacturers and quick-service restaurant
chains in the Philippines, and also produces food safety solutions such as cleaning and sanitation
agents for various customers.
(8)
(ii) Colorants and plastic additives
The Group, operating through its subsidiaries FIC and the latter’s subsidiary, DLPCI, manufactures a
line of pigment blends, color and additive master batches and engineered polymers for a wide range of
applications, introducing a number of products into the Philippine market and expanding into the
export of certain products overseas. The Group's products add properties such as precise coloring,
reduced friction or increased resistance to degradation for plastics used in consumer goods, appliances
and outdoor furniture.
The Group, operating through its subsidiary CTI and the latter’s subsidiaries, CHI, and NNC ,
manufactures Coconut Methyl Ester ("CME", also known as coco-biodiesel), other oleochemicals or
chemicals derived from vegetable oils, resins such as polystyrene, acrylic emulsions and polyester; and
a line of powder coatings.
(iv) Aerosols
The Group, operating through its subsidiary API, manufactures aerosol cans and components, and
provides contract aerosol filling and compounding services. The Group also toll manufactures a range
of products, including insect control, industrial maintenance chemicals, and home and personal care
products, among others.
The Parent Company maintains significant operational control of its subsidiaries that provide goods
and services complementary to those provided by the Group, through a contractual "shared services"
model (Note 18).

Cash in banks earn interest at the bank deposit rates of 0.13% to 1.40% per annum for the years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015. Short-term investments are time deposits and other cash placements
with original maturities of less than three months, which earn interest at the rates of 1.00% to 2.50%
per annum for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Group earned interest income from
the above cash and cash equivalents amounting to P5,313,789 during the year (2015 - P3,719,965; 2014
- P16,430,130) (Note 17).
Movements in the allowance for impairment of receivables for the years ended December 31 are as
follows:
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Group has directly written off uncollectible other
receivables amounting to P1,434,877 (2015 - P369,073; 2014 - P120,181) charged as part of general and
administrative expenses (Note 16).
(12)
4.1 Critical accounting estimate and judgment: allowance for impairment of receivables
Allowance for impairment of receivables is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for
potentially uncollectible receivables. The level of provision is based on past collection experience and
other factors that may affect collectibility. An evaluation of the receivables, designed to identify
potential charges to the provision, is performed on a continuous basis throughout the year.
Management evaluates specific accounts of customers who are unable to meet their financial
obligations. In these cases, management uses judgment based on the best available facts and
circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of relationship with the customers and the
customers’ payment history. The amount and timing of recorded provision for impairment for any
period would therefore differ based on the judgments made.
In relation to receivables which are past due but not impaired as at December 31, 2016 and 2015,
particularly those over 90 days which account for 6.5% of receivables (2015 - 6.6%), no provision for
impairment has been determined by management to be necessary considering customer relationship
and historical collection experience.
Management believes, based on its assessment and judgment, that the allowance for impairment of
receivables as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is adequate.

P18,157,128,927 (2015 - P15,954,106,563; 2014 - P13,467,601,774) (Note 14).
Movements in the allowance for inventory losses for the years ended December 31 are as follows:
(13)
5.1 Critical accounting estimate and judgment: allowance for inventory losses
Allowance for inventory losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential loss
on inventory items. The level of provision is based on past experience and other factors affecting the
recoverability and obsolescence of inventory items. An evaluation of inventories, designed to identify
potential charges to the provision, is performed on a continuous basis throughout the period.
Management uses judgment based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not
limited to evaluation of individual inventory items’ future recoverability and utilization. The amount
and timing of recorded provision for inventory obsolescence for any period would therefore differ based
on the judgments made. A change in provision for inventory obsolescence would impact the Group’s
recorded expenses and carrying value of inventories.
The carrying values of the inventories at the end of the reporting period and the amount and timing of
recorded provision for inventory obsolescence for any period could be materially affected by actual
experience and changes in such judgments such as effect of technological obsolescence, competition in
the market and changes in prices of raw and packaging materials, including any associated labor costs.
Thus, it is reasonably possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcome within the next
financial year arising from changes in judgments may have a significant impact on the carrying
amounts of and provisions for inventories.
As at December 31, 2016, the Group reported an allowance for inventory loses amounting to
P19,600,367 (2015 - P15,634,503).
Management believes, based on its assessment and judgment, that the allowance for inventory losses as
at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is adequate.

Deferred input VAT pertains to input VAT on services which is claimable upon payment of related
liabilities. As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, there are no disallowed tax credit certificate application.
As at December 31, 2016, non-current input VAT presented under other non-current assets amounted
to P76,193,806 (2015 - nil).
CWT pertain to taxes withheld from income payments made to the Group and are creditable against
future income tax payable.
Deposits to suppliers
Deposits to suppliers pertain to advance payments for inventory purchases for raw materials in transit
as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Prepaid taxes
On January 29, 2013, BIR approved the monetization of tax credits of the Group amounting to
P745,254,926. The amount was collected in full in December 2015.
Prepaid taxes as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 mainly pertain to actual tax credit certificates issued
by the BIR in favor of the Group relating to filed application claims to convert excess input VAT into tax
credit certificates.
6.1 Critical accounting judgment: Allowance for unrecoverable claim for input VAT
Allowance for unrecoverable claim for input VAT is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for potentially unrecoverable tax claims from excess input VAT. The level of provision is based
on factors affecting the recoverability of the tax credit claims applied and filed with the Bureau of
Internal Revenue (BIR). An evaluation of the input VAT claims, designed to identify potential charges
to the provision, is performed on a continuous basis throughout the period. Management uses
judgment based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to the
evaluation of the individual tax credit claim’s recoverability considering the requirements of tax
regulations and future utilization in determining provision for unrecoverable input VAT. A change in
the provision would impact the Group’s recorded carrying value of claim for input VAT and provision
for impairment.
Based on management’s assessment and judgment, no allowance for unrecoverable input VAT is
necessary to be recognized as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 as there are no indications of impairment
or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of its input VAT may not be fully
recoverable.
The Group recognizes CWT to the extent that it is probable that future tax liabilities will be available
against which tax credits can be utilized. Determining the realizability of CWT requires the assessment
of the availability of taxable profit expected to be generated from the operations which effectively drives
the tax liabilities against which such creditable taxes can be applied.
(15)
Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of CWT. CWT arise mainly from the
Parent Company’s management and support services to its affiliates. Management believes that the
Group would be able to obtain sufficient taxable income and future tax liabilities against which the
CWT can be fully applied.
Based on management’s assessment and judgment, no allowance for unrecoverable CWT has been
recognized as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 as there are no indications of impairment or changes in
circumstances indicating that the CWT may not be fully recoverable.
As at December 31, 2016, fair value adjustment on AFS financial assets is presented net of deferred
income tax of P501,802 (2015 - P638,756; 2014 - P2,077,758) in the consolidated statements of total
comprehensive income and changes in equity.
The Group follows the guidance in PAS 39 to determine when an available-for-sale financial asset is
impaired. To determine if an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the Group evaluates if there
is a significant (20% or more) or prolonged decline (more than 12 months) to which the fair value of the
asset is less than its cost, and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee
(including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and
financing cash flows). The Group determines whether the decline in fair value are significant or
prolonged before making an assessment as to whether a provision for impairment is needed to be
recognised.
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, based on management’s assessment and judgment, there are no
indications of impairment or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of its
available-for-sale financial assets may not be recoverable.
The movements in investment in associate for the years ended December 31 are as follows:
Until October 6, 2014, CTI was an associate of the Parent Company. On October 7, 2014, the Parent
Company completed the acquisition of 65% of CTI’s outstanding shares through a public tender offer
which resulted in CTI becoming a subsidiary of the Parent Company (Note 1.2.1).

Note 9 - Property, plant and equipment, net
(17)
Construction in progress represents building, leasehold improvements, various plant developments
and machinery and equipment that will be used in operations and are expected to be fully completed
within twelve months from reporting date.
In December 2015, the Group sold its land including the building and all improvements with a net
carrying value of P241,829,148 to Indo Resources, Inc., a related party under common control, for a
total consideration of P325,000,000.
Depreciation and amortization are charged for the years ended December 31 as follows:
9.1 Critical accounting estimate: Useful life of property, plant and equipment
The useful life of each of the Group’s property, plant and equipment is estimated based on the period
over which these assets are expected to be available for use. Such estimation is based on a collective
assessment of internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful life
of each asset is reviewed periodically and 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
asset. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in
the amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factors mentioned
above. A change in the estimated useful life of any property, plant and equipment would impact the
recorded depreciation expense and carrying value of property, plant and equipment.
The Group’s property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. The carrying value is reviewed and
assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. Changes in those judgments could have a significant effect on the
carrying value of property, plant and equipment and the amount and timing of recorded impairment
provision for any period.
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, management believes, based on its assessment and judgment, that
there are no indications of impairment or changes in circumstances that the carrying value of its
property, plant and equipment may not be recoverable.
(18)
Note 10 - Trade payables and other liabilities
Due to regulatory agencies substantially consist of percentage tax payable, expanded withholding tax
payable and withholding tax payable on compensation as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

(33)
The defined benefit plan typically exposes the participating entities to a number of risks such as
investment risk and interest rate risk.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future
cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which
the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related
retirement liability. A decrease in government bond yields will increase the defined benefit obligation
although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plan's fixed income holdings.
The participating entities believe that due to the long-term nature of the retirement liability, the mix of
debt and equity securities holdings of the plan is an appropriate element of the long-term strategy to
manage the plan efficiently. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single
investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets. The largest proportion of
assets is invested in equities, although there are also investments in mutual fund, unit investment trust
funds and treasury bonds and notes. The management believes that equities offer the best returns over
the long term with an acceptable level of risk.
As at December 31, 2016, listed stocks include shares of stocks of the Parent Company amounting to
P245,235,033 representing 0.18% interest in the Parent Company (2015 - P82,350,000; 0.09%
interest). The voting rights over these shares are exercised by the trustee bank. The Group Retirement
Plan recognized net gains on these investments in listed stocks of the Parent Company for the year
ended December 31, 2016 amounted to P81,645,344 (2015 - P34,620,125).
The allocated share of the Group in the Retirement Plan as at December 31 is as follows:

As at December 31, 2016, the average life expectancy in years of experience of a pensioner retiring at
age 60 is 18 years for both male and female (2015 - 18 years).
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on advice from published statistics
and experience.
(34)
As part of its funding policy, the Group follows the recommended contribution to the plan as
determined by an independent actuary. The recommended contribution to the plan consists of the
annual amortization of the excess fund plus the current service cost for the year. The expected
contribution to retirement fund by December 31, 2017 is P17,764,298 (2016 - P15,613,234).
The present value of the retirement benefit obligation depends on a number of factors that are
determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining
the net cost (income) for retirement benefit include the discount rate and future salary increases. Any
changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of retirement benefit obligation.
The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This 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 retirement benefit obligation. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the
Group considers the interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which
the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related
retirement benefit obligation and related retirement benefit expense.
Other key assumptions for retirement benefit obligation are based in part on current market
conditions.
The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation as at December 31 to changes in the significant
weighted principal assumptions follows:
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant
actuarial assumptions, the same method has been applied as when calculating the retirement benefit
obligation recognized within the consolidated statement of financial position.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the previous period.

There are no other related party transactions with the retirement fund except for the contributions to,
benefits paid and investment in shares in the Parent Company by the retirement fund.

The Group recognizes deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
income will be available against which temporary differences can be utilized. Determining the
realizability of deferred income tax assets requires the assessment on the availability of taxable profit
expected to be generated from the operations against which the deferred income tax assets can be
applied.
(36)
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, based on management’s assessment and judgment, deferred income
tax assets are fully recoverable.
In compliance with local tax law, the entities shall pay the greater of minimum corporate income tax
(MCIT), which is 2% of gross income as defined under the law, and the normal income tax. Any excess
of MCIT over the normal income tax shall be carried forward for the next three (3) consecutive taxable
years immediately following the year such MCIT was paid.
The Tax Reform Act of 1997 (the Act) introduced NOLCO as a deduction from taxable income for the
three consecutive years immediately following the year such loss was incurred. As at December 31,
2016, NNC recognized NOLCO with details as follow:
Realization of the future tax benefit related to these DIT asset is dependent on NNC’s ability to generate
future taxable income during the periods the temporary differences reverse, and before NOLCO benefit
prescribes.
On October 26, 2007, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) approved DLPCI’s application for
registration to manufacture specialty polymer and colours compound. Under this registration, such
activity is entitled to a four-year income tax holiday (ITH) from the start of commercial operations in
April 2008. On March 16, 2009, PEZA approved DLPCI's request for the adjustment of the start date of
commercial operations to March 1, 2009. As a result, the ITH was extended until February 28, 2013. On
September 18, 2012, PEZA approved the extension of DLPCI’s ITH to February 28, 2014 on the basis of
its Net Foreign Exchange Earnings. On May 16, 2013, PEZA approved DLPCI’s request for the grant of
pioneer status. As a result, DLPCI was entitled to a six-year ITH until February 28, 2016. Beginning
March 1, 2016, the gross income from the foregoing registered activity of DLPCI is subject to 5% tax rate.
On November 16, 2014, PEZA approved DLPCI’s application for registration to manufacture new
generation, eco-friendly specialty polymer and colour compounds. Under this registration, such activity
is entitled to a four-year ITH from the start of commercial operations in November 2014.
On March 4, 2011, CTI’s registration with the BOI as “new export producer of oleochemical specialties
and derivatives” was approved. As a result, the Company’s sales generated from oleochemical segment
are entitled to ITH for a period of four (4) years. Upon expiration of its ITH in March 2015, CTI pays
10% income tax on income generated from its biodiesel operations. Subsequently, through a legal
service letter from Board of Investment dated October 15, 2014, CTI amended its BOI status from non-
pioneer to pioneer effectively extending its ITH period from 4 to 6 years until March 2017.

Optional Standard Deduction
On December 20, 2008, Revenue Regulations No. 16-2009 on the Optional Standard Deduction (OSD)
was published. The regulation prescribed the rules for the OSD application by corporations in the
computation of their final taxable income. For corporations, OSD shall be 40% based on gross income;
“cost of sales” and “cost of services” will be allowed to be deducted from gross sales.
Following are the election of the Group on OSD or itemized deduction for each of the three years in the
period ending December 31, 2016:
A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the statutory income tax rate to the income tax expense as
reflected in the consolidated statement of total comprehensive income for the years ended December 31 is as

itemized deductions.
Significant judgment is required in determining the income tax expense. There are many transactions
and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain in the ordinary course of
business. The Group recognizes liabilities based on careful evaluation of whether additional taxes will
be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recorded, such differences will impact the Group’s current and deferred income tax provisions in the
period in which such determination is made.
For each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, based on management’s assessment
and judgment, provision for income tax is considered adequate and reasonable.
The Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities as at December 31 consist of:

Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates, assumptions and judgments concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates,
assumptions and judgments that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(40)
Note 23 - Financial risk and capital management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and these activities involve the analysis,
evaluation and management of some degree of risk or combination of risks. The Group’s overall risk
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets, aims to achieve an
appropriate balance between risk and return and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the
Group’s financial performance.
The most important types of risk the Group manages are: credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk.
Market risk includes foreign currency exchange, price and interest risks.
Receivables are presented gross of allowance for impairment as at December 31, 2016 amounting to
P11,901,872 (2015 - P18,079,858) and excludes advances to suppliers amounting to P600,765,893
(2015 - P307,818,075).
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, refundable deposits amounting to P24,020,118 (2015 -
P14,878,560) is presented as part of other non-current assets in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
The other components of other current and non-current assets are considered non-financial assets
which include deposits to suppliers, input VAT, creditable withholding taxes and prepayments.
The carrying amounts of loans and receivables, except refundable deposits, are assumed to be the same
as their fair values (Level 1) due to their short-term nature and the impact of discounting is not
considered significant. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at quoted prices (Level 1).
(41)
23.2.2 Financial liabilities
Details of the Group’s financial liabilities, categorized as other financial liabilities at amortized cost at
December 31 are as follows:
Trade payables and other liabilities exclude amounts due to regulatory agencies and advances from
customers as at December 31, 2016 amounting to P43,951,810 and P5,482,266 (2015 - P43,894,860
and P3,974,030), respectively (Note 10).
The carrying amounts of other financial liabilities at amortized cost are assumed to be the same as their
fair values (Level 1) due to their short-term nature and the impact of discounting is not considered
significant. Long-term borrowings approximate its fair value (Level 1) as the borrowing is interest-
bearing and measured at amortized cost.
The financial assets and liabilities subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements and
similar agreements pertains only to amounts due from / to related parties (Note 18).
Credit risk arises from cash deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure on
receivable from customers, related parties and other counterparties.
The Group’s financial assets that are subject to credit risks are shown below:
Cash presented above excludes cash on hand as at December 31, 2016 amounting to P2,703,948 which
is not subject to significant credit risk (2015 - P7,943,614) (Note 3).
(42)
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is equal to the carrying value of financial
assets summarized above.
None of the financial assets that are fully performing has been renegotiated in 2016 and 2015.
The Group does not hold any collateral as security to the above financial assets.
Credit risk exposure arising from cash in banks and short-term investments arises from default of the
counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the fair value of financial assets. The Group has
policies that limit the amount of credit exposure with financial institutions.
To minimize credit risk exposure, the Group deposits its cash and short-term investments in banks
with good credit ratings as at December as follows:
2016 2015
Universal banks 2,627,849,323 2,932,412,930
Commercial banks 149,422,884 179,998,225
Thrift banks 57,454 5,742,021
2,777,329,661 3,118,153,176
Receivables
Trade receivables
The Group has prudent credit policies to ensure that sale of its products are made to customers with
good credit history. The senior management team, product group heads and the respective sales teams
perform monthly reviews of outstanding receivables as part of the regular performance assessment
process. All receivables from key customers are monitored for collectibility and actual settlement
performance, and action plans are required for any material overdue amounts from all categories of
customers.
From time to time management undertakes an evaluation of certain customer accounts for potential
provisioning and/or write-off.
Trade receivables from its major customers (existing customers with some defaults in the past but all
defaults were fully recovered) at December 31, 2016 amounted to P1,547,933,312 (2015 -
P1,093,120,002) comprising 55% (2015 - 68%) of neither past due nor impaired category. The
remaining balance comes from a broad base of customers in all of the markets where the Group’s
business is engaged, where certain defaults were experienced in the past but significant balances have
been fully recovered. Management is not expecting significant credit risks on its major customers as
well as from its remaining customers as at reporting date.
(43)
Advances to officers and employees
This account pertains to mostly to loans and cash advances to officers and employees for expenses used in
various official business activities. To address credit risk, these advances are subject to liquidation and/or
collectible through salary deduction. Advances to officers and employees are considered to be fully
recoverable.
Other receivables
Other receivables comprise mainly of receivables from third parties which are considered collectible on
demand. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by transacting only with counterparties that have
appropriate and acceptable credit history. Other receivables are considered to be fully recoverable.
Due from related parties, arising mainly from transaction on sale of goods and services, are given the
right of offset against the outstanding balance of due to related parties as at a particular date.
Receivables from related parties under the neither past due nor impaired category have minimal
history of default or write off and considered fully performing. The Group is not expecting significant
exposure on these balances considering these are transacted with related parties.
Refundable deposits
This account pertains to security deposits on properties leased by the Group. Security deposits are
generally refundable at the end of the lease term. Management is not expecting significant credit risk
on these deposits.
Past due but not impaired trade receivables are related to a number of independent customers with
whom there is no recent history of default. As at December 31, 2016, past due but not impaired trade
receivables amounting to P1,075,655,526 (2015 - P1,364,808,381) are fully recoverable and no
allowance for impairment is required on these outstanding balances.
Overdue and impaired trade receivable relate to transactions arising from sale of goods to customers.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment based on the loss component that relates to
significant exposure.
Impaired trade receivables as at December 31, 2016 amounting to P11,901,782 (2015 - P18,079,858)
substantially relate to receivables from customers that are in difficult economic situations. Overdue and
impaired accounts as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are fully provided with allowance for impairment
(Note 4).
The Group does not hold any collateral as security to the above financial assets.
(44)
23.4 Market risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and assets and liabilities are
denominated in a currency that is not the Parent Company’s functional currency.
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Group’s financial assets and liabilities denominated in US
Dollar, Euro and Singaporean Dollar as presented in Note 21.
The Group manages its foreign currency exchange risk through minimizing foreign currency
denominated transactions. Also, the Group maintains sufficient cash in foreign currency to cover its
maturing obligations.
A reasonable possible change in foreign currency exchange rate, significantly arising from US Dollar
denominated assets (liabilities), as at December 31 would lead to the following pre-tax profit and equity
movements:
2016 2015
Net foreign currency denominated monetary assets (liabilities) 865,000,518 (245,381,429)
Reasonable possible changes in exchange rates +/-1.25% +/-1.25%
Effect on consolidated pre-tax profit for the year and equity +/- 10,812,506 -/+ (3,067,268)
The reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rate used in the sensitivity analysis is the rate of
change in various foreign currencies using the Peso equivalent at reporting date and thirty (30) days
from reporting date, by which management is expected to receive or settle the Group’s most significant
financial assets or liabilities, respectively.
The Group is exposed to price risk in relation to its available-for-sale financial assets. Components of
equity would increase or decrease as a result of gains or losses on these financial assets classified as
available-for-sale. Management monitors such financial assets based on the current market price of the
shares. Available-for-sale financial assets are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell
decisions are approved by the ManCom, thereby reducing the Group’s exposure to equity price risk at
an acceptably low level.
As at December 31, 2016, the impact of 1.00% increase/decrease (2015 - 0.80%) in the bid share price
of listed equity securities, with all other variables held constant, would have been an increase/decrease
of P1,121,308 in the Group’s consolidated pre-tax comprehensive income and equity for the year
(2015 - P856,902). The rates used in the above sensitivity analysis takes into account the historical
performance of the equity securities in the past 12 months.
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial assets and liabilities will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the
value of a financial assets and liabilities will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
(45)
Cash flow interest rate risks
The Group’s exposure to cash flow interest rate risk pertains to short-term borrowings where the
related interests are repriced at periodic intervals based on the prevailing mark-to-market prices, in
accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Group’s practice is to manage its interest cost by
reference to current market rates in borrowings.
At December 31, 2016, if interest rates increased/decreased by 0.51% (2015 - 0.51%; 2014 - 0.48%)
from the last repricing date, with all other variables held constant, profit for the year and equity would
have been P29,842,431 lower/higher (2015 - P6,510,106; 2014 - P1,645,362) lower/higher, respectively,
mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense, based on variable rates.
The reasonable possible change in interest rate used in the sensitivity analysis is the rate of change
between the nominal interest rate at the end of the reporting period and the use of hypothetical interest
rate (gross of applicable final tax rate), which is normally equal to the discount rate set by reference to
yields on government bonds, determined at the next repricing date or the date by which management is
expected to settle the Group’s variable interest-bearing borrowings.
The Group’s fixed rate borrowings are measured at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to
cash flow interest rate risk as defined in PFRS 7, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash
flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Changes in the market interest rates of the Group’s financial liabilities with fixed interest rates only
affect income if these are measured at their fair value. As such, the Group’s financial liabilities with
fixed interest rates that are carried at amortized cost are not subject to fair value interest rate risk as
defined in PFRS 7.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the
dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility by keeping credit
lines available.
On a regular basis, management monitors forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of
expected cash flows. The Group places cash in excess of immediate requirements in banks.
(46)
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities
based on contractual undiscounted payments:
At December 31, 2016, borrowings include undiscounted cash flows on interest payable of P149,745,967
(2015 - P189,495,551) until its maturity.
The Parent Company, together with its related parties entered into surety agreements with local banks
and a corporate guarantee with a foreign bank. The surety agreements and corporate guarantee are
considered off-balance sheet items payable in less than 3 months (Note 18).
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances equal their
carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The Group believes that cash generated from its operating activities and current assets are sufficient to
meet maturing obligations required to operate the business. The Group would also be able to meet
unexpected cash outflows by accessing additional funding sources from local banks and related parties.
The Group expects to settle the above financial obligations in accordance with their maturity date.
The Group’s objective when managing capital is to generate the maximum possible returns for its
shareholders while taking on a manageable degree of risk ensuring that the Group will continue to
operate as a going concern into the foreseeable future.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group reviews its capital structure from time to
time to assess the proper financing mix necessary to grow and sustain its operations. As a matter of
policy, capital expenditures have been financed from internally-generated cash flow while working
capital requirements will be augmented by short-term bank borrowings from time to time.
Earnings in excess of dividend distribution to shareholders have been continuously redeployed and
reinvested in the growth of the Group’s business. Each instance of expansion of manufacturing capacity
and entry into new products and markets undergo a thorough evaluation process to ensure that such
investments and marketing programs are in consonance with the Group’s core competencies and would
be enhancing, rather than diminishing, shareholder value in the long run.
(47)
As part of the reforms of the PSE to expand capital market and improve transparency among listed
firms, PSE has required a minimum percentage of ten percent (10%) of the listed companies’ issued
and outstanding shares, exclusive of any treasury shares, to be held by the public. The Parent Company
is compliant with respect to this requirement.
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, total capital is equal to total equity (less reserves) as shown in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
2016 2015
Total equity 13,967,256,818 12,750,148,159
Reserves (204,430,479) (185,446,863)
13,762,826,339 12,564,701,296
There are no changes to the Group’s capital management policies as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless
otherwise stated.
These consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). The term PFRS in general includes all applicable
PFRS, PAS and interpretations of the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC), Standing
Interpretations Committee (SIC) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
(IFRIC) which have been approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) and adopted
by the SEC.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as
modified by revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and retirement benefit plan where plan
assets are measured at fair value.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires the use of
certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process
of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements are disclosed in Note 22.
(48)
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
The following relevant and applicable standards have been adopted by the Group effective January 1,
2016:
Other amendments to PFRS adopted by the Group did not have any impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
24.1.2 New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective and not yet adopted by the
Group
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual
periods after January 1, 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The
relevant and applicable standards affecting the consolidated financial statements of the Group, are set
out below:
PFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective January 1, 2018). PFRS 9 deals with the classification,
measurement and impairment of financial instruments, as well as hedge accounting.
PFRS 9 replaces the multiple classification and measurement models for financial assets in PAS 39
‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ with a single model that has three
classification categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI),
and fair value through profit or loss. Classification under PFRS 9 is driven by the entity’s business
model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual characteristics of the financial
assets represent solely payments of principal and interest. Investments in equity instruments are
required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception
to present changes in fair value in OCI. The classification and measurement of financial liabilities
under PFRS 9 remains the same as in PAS 39 except where an entity has chosen to measure a
financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. For such liabilities, changes in fair value
related to changes in own credit risk are presented separately in OCI.
The impairment rules of PFRS 9 introduce an expected credit losses model that replaces the
incurred loss impairment model used in PAS 39. Such new impairment model will generally result
in earlier recognition of losses compared to PAS 39.
The hedging rules of PFRS 9 better align hedge accounting with an entity's risk management
strategies. Also, some of the prohibitions and rules in PAS 39 are removed or changed, making
hedge accounting easier or less costly to achieve for many hedges.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and earlier
application is permitted.
(49)
The Group’s initial assessment of the potential impact of PFRS 9 is that it is not significant
considering that its financial assets and liabilities are substantially measured at amortized cost. The
Group will update its assessment upon adoption of this new standard.
PFRS 15, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ (effective January 1, 2018). This standard
replaces PAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and PAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The new
standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service
transfers to a customer - so that the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and
rewards.
The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach,
entities will recognize transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial
application, i.e. without restating the comparative period. Entities will only need to apply the new
rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and earlier
application is permitted.
The Group is assessing the impact of PFRS 15. Based on its initial assessment, management does
not expect a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption
of this standard in light that its revenue recognition policy is considered straight forward and
already complies with this new standard.
PFRS 16, ‘Leases’ (effective January 1, 2018). This standard replaces PAS 17 ‘Leases’. PFRS 16 now
requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use
asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. For lessors, the accounting stays almost the same. However,
as the guidance on the definition of a lease (as well as the guidance on the combination and
separation of contracts) has been updated, lessors will also be affected by the new standard.
Under PFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use
of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
PFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier
application is permitted, but only in conjunction with PFRS 15, ‘Revenue from Contracts with
Customers’. In order to facilitate transition, entities can choose a ‘simplified approach’ that
includes certain reliefs related to the measurement of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability,
rather than full retrospective application; furthermore, the ‘simplified approach’ does not require a
restatement of comparatives. In addition, as a practical expedient entities are not required to
reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application (that is, such
contracts are “grandfathered”).
At this stage, it is likely that the Group will record a ‘right-of-use asset’ upon adoption of this
standard. Management is in the process of calculating the potential impact and will review
appropriate discount rate in preparation for the adoption of this standard.
There are no other applicable and relevant standards, amendments and interpretations, which are
issued and effective January 1, 2017 and onwards that have or are expected to have a significant impact
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements during and at the end of reporting period.

24.2 Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: (a) loans and receivables, (b) at fair
value through profit or loss, (c) held-to-maturity and (d) available-for-sale. The classification depends
on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification
of its financial assets at initial recognition.
The Group did not hold financial assets under categories (b) and (c) above during and at the end of
each reporting period.
The Group’s financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments and are not quoted in an active market. They are included in
current assets, except for maturities greater than twelve months after the reporting date, which are
classified as non-current assets.
The Group’s loans and receivables consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from
related parties, loans receivable and refundable deposits presented under other non-current assets in
the consolidated statement of financial position.
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that is either designated in this category or not
classified in any of the other categories. It is included in non-current assets unless management intends
to dispose of the investment within twelve months from the reporting date.
The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets consist of investment in equity securities of listed
entities in the Philippines including investment in golf club shares for use by the Group’s
officers (Note 7).
The Group recognizes a financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position when the
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Loans and receivables are initially recognized at invoice amount which approximates fair value plus
transaction costs. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, less allowance for impairment.
(51)
Available for sale financial assets
Regular purchases of available for sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus
transaction cost, at the trade date. These financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value, except
where fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case such is measured at cost. Unrealized gains
and losses arising from changes in the fair value of assets classified as available-for-sale financial assets
are recognized in other comprehensive income. For available-for-sale financial assets carried at cost, if
a reliable measure of fair value becomes available, it is measured at fair value and the difference
between its carrying amount and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. Dividends on
available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive such
dividends is established.
24.2.3 Derecognition
Loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets are derecognized when the rights to
receive cash flows have expired or the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the financial assets.
24.2.4 Impairment
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets
is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a
result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and
that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or
group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss
include:
Significant financial difficulty of the customer or other third party considered as obligor;
A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
It becomes probable that the customer or other third party considered as obligor will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows
from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the
decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including
adverse changes in the payment status of customers or other third parties considered as obligors in
the portfolio and national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in
the portfolio.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for receivables
that are individually significant, and collectively for receivables that are not individually significant. If
the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
receivable, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses those for impairment. Receivables 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.
(52)
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred)
discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is
reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the provision for impairment of receivables in
profit or loss within selling and marketing expenses.
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 (such as an improvement in the
debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized within
profit or loss.
Reversals of previously recorded impairment provision are based on the result of management’s update
assessment, considering the available facts and changes in circumstances, including but not limited to
results of recent discussions and arrangements entered into with customers as to the recoverability of
receivables at the end of the reporting period. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off
are credited within profit or loss.
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other
comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss
that has been recognized in other comprehensive income (within fair value adjustment on available-
for-sale financial assets, net of tax) is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment even though the financial asset has not been derecognized, measured as the
difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that
financial asset previously recognized in other comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognized in
profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is not reversed.
The Group classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: (a) financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss (including financial liabilities held for trading and those that are designated
at fair value) and (b) other liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for
which the financial liabilities were incurred. Management determines the classification of its financial
liabilities at initial recognition.
The Group did not hold financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss during and at the end of
each reporting period.
Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category
and are measured at amortized cost. They are included in current liabilities, except for maturities more
than twelve months after reporting date which are classified as non-current liabilities.
(53)
The Group’s on-balance sheet financial liabilities at amortized cost consist mainly of trade payables and
other liabilities (excluding payables to government agencies for value-added tax, withholding and other
taxes), due to related parties and borrowings.
The Group’s off-balance sheet items include surety and corporate guarantee agreement (Note 18).
The Group recognizes a financial liability in the consolidated statement of financial position when the
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group’s financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially measured at invoice amount, which
approximates fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, these are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method. Interest expense on financial liabilities is recognized within finance
cost, at gross amount, in profit or loss.
24.3.3 Derecognition
Financial liabilities are derecognized when extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in a
contract is discharged or cancelled or when the obligation expires.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Group classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following
levels:
• quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
• inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2); and
• inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs) (Level 3).
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the
reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from
an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices
represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted
market price used for financial instruments that are traded in active market is the current bid price.
These instruments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-
counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize
the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific
estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is
included in Level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is
included in Level 3.
(54)
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
• Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
• The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash
flows based on observable yield curves.
• The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates
at the reporting date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
• Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the
remaining financial instruments.
The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets with quoted market price are valued using Level 1 of the
fair value hierarchy and those with unquoted market price are carried at cost.
The carrying value of the Group’s other financial assets and liabilities disclosed in Notes 23.2.1 and
23.2.2 approximate their fair value at reporting date considering that these financial assets and
liabilities generally have short term maturities and the impact of discounting is not significant.
For non-financial assets, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances
and applies the technique consistently. The fair value of a non-financial asset is measured based on its
highest and best use. The asset’s current use is presumed to be its highest and best use.
The fair value of financial and non-financial liabilities takes into account non-performance risk, which
is the risk that the Group will not fulfill an obligation.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of
financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is
an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The
legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the
normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the
counterparty.
24.6 Consolidation
24.6.1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group
controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are
deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies
are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated.
Accounting policies and reporting period of its subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by
and the reporting period of the Parent Company.
(55)
24.6.2 Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally
accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. The Group’s investment in
associate is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. Under the
equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or
decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss, and other comprehensive income or
loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group identifies and monitors goodwill (if any)
upon acquisition and initial recognition of an investment in associate.
The Group’s share of its associate’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and
its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other
comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying
amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its
interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize
further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of
the associate.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its
associate are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of
unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Dilution gains and losses arising in investment in associates are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the
investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of
impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value
and recognizes the amount adjacent to ‘share in profit (loss) of associate’ in profit or loss.
The accounting policies of the associate are consistent with the policies adopted by the Parent
Company.
The Group applies the purchase or acquisition method to account for business combinations. The
consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred,
the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the
Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date.
(56)
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date
through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of total comprehensive income.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the
acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to
be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to
other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified at equity is not re-measured,
and its subsequent settlement is not accounted for within equity.
24.6.4 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred (including
the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any
previous equity interest in the acquire) over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net
assets acquired. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary
acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each
of the cash-generating units (CGUs), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest
level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill
is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill
is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs
of disposal. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as
equity transactions that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. For purchases
from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share
acquired in the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on
disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with
parties external to the Group. Disposals of non-controlling interests result in gains or losses for the
Group that are recorded in other income in the consolidated statement of total comprehensive income.
Purchases from non-controlling interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any
consideration paid and the relevant share acquired in the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.
(57)
24.6.7 Disposal of subsidiaries and associates
Subsidiary
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the subsidiary is re-measured to its fair
value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount generally recognized in profit
or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for purposes of subsequently accounting for the
retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that subsidiary are accounted for as if the
Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the Group surrenders control to a related party within the group it ultimately belongs, the difference
between the consideration received and the fair value of the subsidiary at divestment date, is
recognized as other charges to equity.
Associate
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a
proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. Investment in associates are derecognized when the
Group ceases to have control or shareholding over the associate or when the risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred or extinguished.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash deposits held at call with banks and other
short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of acquisition.
These are measured in the statement of financial position at face or nominal amount. Cash in bank
earns interest at the prevailing bank deposit rate.
24.8 Receivables
Trade receivables arising from regular sales with an average credit term of 30 days are recorded at
invoice amount, which approximates fair value, less any allowance for impairment.
Other receivables are recognized initially at invoice amount, which approximates fair value, and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method, less any allowance for
impairment.
An individual and collective provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is
objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original
terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter
bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered as
indicators that the receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective
interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and
the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(58)
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for receivables
that are individually significant, and collectively for receivables that are not individually significant. If
the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
receivable, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Receivables 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.
When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against an allowance account for receivables, if any.
Receivables and its related allowance for impairment are written off when the Group has determined
that the receivable is uncollectible as they have already exerted all collection efforts, including filing a
legal case. Bad debts written off are specifically identified by the Group’s marketing department after
exhausting all collection efforts (i.e. sending demand letters and legal notice of default to customers),
and is approved by the respective product manager and subsequently by the BOD. Write offs represent
the release of previously recorded provision from the allowance account and credited to the related
receivable account following the Group’s assessment that the related receivable will no longer be
collected after all collection efforts have been exhausted.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off are credited against the provision account in
profit or loss. Reversals of previously recorded impairment provision are credited against provision
account in profit or loss based on the result of management’s update assessments, considering available
facts and changes in circumstances, including but not limited to results of recent discussions and
arrangements entered into with customers as to the recoverability of receivable at reporting date.
Receivables are derecognized when actually collected, written off, the rights to receive cash flows have
expired or the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership to the receivables.
24.9 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). The cost of finished goods
inventories is determined on the basis of standard cost which is adjusted at periodic intervals and
which approximate actual manufacturing cost determined using the weighted average method. For
food ingredients, colorants and plastic additives, and aerosol segments, the cost of raw materials is
determined using specific identification. For oleochemicals, resins and powder coatings segment, the
cost of raw materials is determined using the weighted average method. Inventories in transit are
valued at invoice cost including related importation costs. The cost of inventories excludes borrowing
costs. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less cost to complete and to
sell.
Allowance for inventory losses and obsolescence is provided, when necessary, based on management’s
review of inventory turnover and projected future production demands, and is recognized in profit or
loss. Provision for inventory losses is established for slow moving, and defective inventories based on
physical inspection and management evaluation. Inventories and its related allowance account are
written off when the Group has determined that the related inventory is already obsolete and damaged.
Write offs represent the release of previously recorded provision from the allowance account and
credited to the related inventory account following the disposal of the inventories. Destruction of the
obsolete and damaged inventories is made in the presence of regulatory agencies.
(59)
Reversals of previously recorded impairment provisions are credited against provision within cost of
sales account in profit or loss based on the result of management’s update assessment, considering
available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to net realizable value at the time of
disposal.
24.10 Claim for input value added tax (VAT), prepayments and other current assets
Claims for input VAT and prepaid taxes is stated at face value less allowance for impairment, if any.
They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than twelve months after the
reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets.
The Group, on a continuing basis, makes a review of the status of the claim which is designed to
identify those that may require provision for impairment. Provision for unrecoverable input VAT and
prepaid taxes, if any, is maintained by the Group at a level considered adequate to provide for potential
uncollectible portion of the claim.
A provision for unrecoverable input VAT and prepaid taxes is established when there is objective
evidence that the Group will not be able to recover the claim. The carrying amount of the asset is
reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or
loss.
Provision for unrecoverable tax credit claim from excess input VAT is recognized at each reporting
period in consideration of management's assessment that it has complied with the prescribed
regulatory requirements such that the tax credit claim from excess input VAT is filed within the two (2)
year prescription period, appropriate supporting documents are available to support the tax credit
claim from excess input VAT and likelihood of potential disallowed amounts based on discussions with
and correspondences received from local tax authorities. Write-off is recognized upon receipt of a
formal notice of disallowance from local tax authorities
Prepayments in the form of unused tax credits are derecognized when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset the recognized amounts against income tax due and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Claims for input VAT and prepaid taxes is derecognized when actually collected or disallowed by tax
authority.
Prepayments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position in the event that
payment has been made in advance of obtaining right of access to goods or receipt of services and
measured at nominal amounts. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than
twelve months after the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets. These are
derecognized in the consolidated statement of financial position upon delivery of goods or when
services have been rendered, through amortization over a certain period of time, and use or
consumption.
(60)
Other current assets consist substantially of input value-added tax and creditable withholding taxes
which are recognized as assets in the period such input value-added tax and income tax payments
become available as tax credits to the Group and carried over to the extent that it is probable that the
benefit will flow to the Group.
Prepayments and other non-financial assets are included in current assets, except when the related
goods or services are expected to be received or rendered more than twelve months after the reporting
period in which case, are classified as non-current assets.
These are derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or
realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Property, plant and equipment is initially measured and recognized at acquisition cost which comprises
its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition and
location for its intended use.
After initial measurement, property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation, amortization and impairment, if any.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Construction in progress, which represents properties under construction, is stated at cost and
depreciated only when the relevant assets are completed and put into operational use. Upon
completion, these properties are reclassified to their relevant property, plant and equipment account.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life of the improvements which is
shorter than the lease term, considering the renewal option.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is computed on the straight-line method to
allocate the cost of each asset, less its residual value, over its estimated useful life (in years),
determined based on the Group’s historical information and experience on the use of such assets, as
follows:
Building 40
Tools, machinery and equipment 5 to 20
Transportation and delivery equipment 5 to 10
Office furniture and fixtures 5
Leasehold improvements 5
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting
date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
(61)
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal at which time the cost and their accumulated depreciation
are removed from the disposal accounts.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of
the assets and are credited to profit or loss.
Non-financial assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as land, are not subject to amortization and
are tested annually for impairment. Other non-financial assets, mainly property, plant and equipment,
and goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows (cash-generating units or CGUs). Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in profit or loss.
When impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit
is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but the increased carrying amount
should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. Reversals of an impairment loss are credited against the
provision account in profit or loss.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognized in profit
or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns
with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishing
provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts to be paid to tax authorities.
Deferred income tax (DIT) is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However,
DIT is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other
than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable
profit or loss. DIT is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related DIT asset is realized or the
DIT liability is settled.
DIT assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits
from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and unused tax losses (net operating loss
carryover or NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilized.
DIT liabilities are recognized in full for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the
deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
(62)
DIT assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the DIT assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an
intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
The Group re-assesses at each reporting date the need to recognize a previously unrecognized DIT
asset, if any.
DIT assets and liabilities are derecognized when the related temporary difference are realized or
settled.
Trade payables and other liabilities are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of business with suppliers.
Trade payables and other liabilities are recognized in the period in which the related money, goods or
services are received or when a legally enforceable claim against the Group is established or when the
corresponding assets or expenses are recognized. These are classified as current liabilities if payment is
due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are
presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables and other liabilities are recognized initially at invoice amount, which approximates fair
value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method.
These are derecognized when extinguished or when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or has
expired.
24.15.1 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs)
and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset, if any, are capitalized during the
period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.
Other borrowing costs are recognized and charged to profit or loss in the year in which these are
incurred.
(63)
24.16 Provisions
Provision are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized
even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of
obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the
obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as
interest expense.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed and derecognized in the consolidated
statement of financial position.
24.17 Equity
Ordinary shares are stated at par value and are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Share premium
Any amount received by the Group in excess of par value of its shares is credited to share premium
which forms part of the non-distributable reserve of the Group and can be used only for purposes
specified under corporate legislation.
Share issuance costs incurred for the listing and offering process of the Group are recognized as
deduction to share premium in accordance with PIC - Question and Answer (PIC - Q&A) 2011-04.
Retained earnings pertain to the unrestricted portion of the accumulated profit from operations of the
Group which are available for dividend declaration.
(64)
24.18 Dividend distribution
Recording of stock dividend depends on whether the stock dividend declared is a small stock dividend
or a large stock dividend. Stock dividend declared is considered to be small when the shares to be
issued are less than 20-25% of the total outstanding shares before the stock dividend, otherwise the
stock dividend will be considered large. The amount to be released from retained earnings when a small
stock dividend is declared will be equivalent to the fair market value of the shares at the date of
declaration. Any excess of the fair market value of the shares against its par value will be recorded as
share premium. On the other hand, the amount to be released in retained earnings when a large stock
dividend is declared will be equivalent to the par value of the shares being issued.
24.19.1 Basic
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Parent
Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares
purchased by the Parent Company held as treasury shares.
24.19.2 Diluted
The diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares
outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any.
The Group has no potentially dilutive ordinary shares. Therefore, the amount reported for basic and
diluted earnings per share is the same.
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and
services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.
The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable
that future economic benefits will flow into the Group, collectibility of the related receivable is
reasonably assured, and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described
below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measured until all contingencies relating
to the sale have been resolved.
Sale of goods are recognized in profit or loss when the Group has delivered the products to the
customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the acceptance of the products.
Delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risk of
obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the
products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has
objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
(65)
Sale of goods is shown net of returns, and/or discounts in the consolidated statement of total
comprehensive income.
Management service fees from technical, logistics, administrative and executive management service
agreements are recognized in profit or loss when the service has been completed and rendered in
accordance with the provision of relevant agreements.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest income from cash in banks and short-term investments, which is presented net of final taxes
paid or withheld, is recognized in profit or loss on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest
method.
Income from rental, lighterage and thruput is recognized in profit or loss when services have been
rendered and accepted by the customer in accordance with the relevant agreements.
All other income items are recognized in profit or loss when earned.
Costs and expenses, classified by function, are recorded in profit or loss when incurred.
The Group has a defined benefit retirement plan in accordance with the local conditions and practices
in the Philippines. The plan is generally funded through payments to trustee-administered funds as
determined by periodic actuarial calculations. Defined benefit plans define an amount of pension
benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as
age, years of service and compensation.
The liability (or asset) recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation less fair value of the plan assets at the reporting date. In cases
when the amount determined results in an asset, the Group measures the resulting asset at the lower of
such amount determined and the present value of any economic benefits available to the Group in the
form of refunds or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The defined benefit obligation is
calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value
of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using
interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be
paid, and that have terms to maturity which approximate the terms of the related retirement benefit
obligation.
(66)
When the Group has a surplus in a defined benefit plan, the Group measures the net defined benefit
asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan, and the asset ceiling determined using the
same discount rate in determining the present value of defined benefit obligations. The amount of the
asset recognized should not exceed the aggregate of the present values of any refunds expected from the
plan; and any expected reduction in future contributions arising from the surplus.
Plan assets are those that are: (a) held by an entity (a fund) that is legally separate from the Group, (b)
available to be used only to pay or fund employee benefits; and (c) not available to the Group’s
creditors, and cannot be returned to the Group unless: (i) the remaining assets of the fund are sufficient
to meet all the related employee benefit obligations of the plan or the Group; or (ii) the assets are
returned to the Group to reimburse for employee benefits advanced by the Group. Plan assets exclude
investments in group shares that are not transferrable.
Remeasurement gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are charged or credited to equity (within reserve for remeasurement on retirement
benefit) in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit
obligation and the fair value of plan assets.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal
retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these
benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the
Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the Group recognizes costs for a
restructuring that is within the scope of PAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In
the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured
based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than twelve
months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as
the related service is provided.
24.24 Leases
When the Group enters into an arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of related
transactions, that does not take the legal form of a lease but conveys a right to use an asset or is
dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets, the Group assesses whether the arrangement is, or
contains, a lease. The Group does not have such arrangements during and at the end of each reporting
period.
(67)
24.24.1 The Group is the lessee
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor
are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss
over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Leases where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value
of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Group has no lease
that qualifies as finance lease during and at the end of each reporting period.
When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the consolidated
statement of financial position based on the nature of the asset. Lease income is recognized in profit or
loss over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognized
as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is
recognized as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognized over the term of the lease using the
net investment method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return. The Group has no lease that
qualifies as finance lease during and at the end of each reporting period.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is represented by the members of the Management
Committee (ManCom), in making collective operating decisions with regards to the business segments.
The ManCom, which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments, is identified as the one that makes strategic decisions for the Group.
Reportable segments are presented by aggregating operating segments based on similar products and
services.
The accounting policies used to recognize and measure the segment’s assets, liabilities and profit or
loss is consistent with that of the consolidated financial statements.
Related party relationship exists when one party has the ability to control, directly or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, the other party or exercises significant influence over the other party in
making financial and operating decisions. Such relationship also exists between and/or among entities
which are under common control with the reporting enterprise, or between and/or among entities and
its key management personnel, directors, or its shareholders. In considering each possible related party
relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form.
(68)
24.27 Foreign currency transactions and translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s subsidiaries are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group’s subsidiaries operate (the
“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso (Peso),
which is the Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Philippine Peso using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transaction or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-
end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized
in profit or loss.
For income tax purposes, foreign exchange gains or losses are treated as taxable income or deductible
expense in the period such are realized/sustained.
24.28 Reclassifications
Certain cost and expense items have been reclassified in order to align the prior year’s disclosures with
the current year disclosure and to better present the financial performance of the Group. For the years
ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the following items were reclassified:
direct costs which were recorded within cost of services have been reclassified to ‘Other direct costs’
within cost of sales; and
‘Provision for impairment of receivables’ and ‘Loss on direct write-off of receivables’ which were
recorded within sales and marketing expenses were reclassified to general and administrative
expenses.
These reclassifications did not affect previously reported profit for the year and cash flow statements,
nor did it affect previously reported statement of financial position.
Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s financial position at
reporting 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.

management positions. Performance review is conducted quarterly and evaluated annually to assess the

fulfill the duties and responsibilities required by the position projected for him by his immediate supervisor.

SRC. In addition, the Company disqualifies, subject to certain exception, as independent director any person who
becomes an officer, employee or consultant of the Company and any person whose beneficial equity ownership in the
Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates exceeds two percent (2%) of its subscribed capital stock.
Does the company have a term limit of five consecutive years for independent directors? If after two years, the

All D&L employees must comply with the Code of Business Principles (COBP) and associated standards of conduct

members of their staff receive guidance, training and communication on ethical behavior and legal compliance
relevant to their duties to the Company.
The Company expects employees to bring to their attention, or to that of senior management, any breach or
