EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Universal Robina Corporation (URC) was founded in 1954 when Mr. John Gokongwei, Jr. established Universal Corn Products, Inc., a cornstarch manufacturing plant in Pasig. The Company is involved in a wide range of foodrelated businesses, including the manufacture and distribution of branded consumer foods, production of hogs and day-old chicks, manufacture of animal and fish feeds, glucose and veterinary compounds, flour milling, and sugar milling and refining. URC operates its food business through operating divisions and wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are organized into three core business segments, namely, branded consumer foods, agro-industrial products and commodity food products. The Company is also engaged in consumer product-related packaging business through its packaging division, which is included in the branded consumer food segment, and through its subsidiary, CFC Clubhouse Property, Inc. The Company sells its branded food products primarily to supermarkets, as well as directly to top wholesalers, large convenience stores, large scale trading companies and regional distributors, which in turn sell its products to other small retailers and down line markets. Moreover, the products are distributed to approximately 120,000 outlets in the Philippines and sold through URC's direct sales force and regional distributors. The attached report analyses the financial condition of the company in the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Due to the product innovation the company was able to sustain its financial growth.

Financial statements should be understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable. Reported assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are directly related to an organization's financial position. Financial statements are intended to be understandable by readers who have "a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting and who are willing to study the information diligently. Financial statements may be used by users for different purposes: Owners and managers require financial statements to make important business decisions that affect its continued operations. Financial analysis is then performed on these statements to provide management with a more detailed understanding of the figures. These statements are also used as part of management's annual report to the stockholders. Employees also need these reports in making collective

bargaining agreements (CBA) with the management, in the case of labor unions or for individuals in discussing their compensation, promotion and rankings.

COMPANY PROFILE:

COMPANY HISTORY:
Universal Robina Corporation (URC) is one of the largest branded food product companies in the Philippines, with the distinction of being called the countrys first Philippine multinational, and has a growing presence in other Asian markets.

Universal Robina Corporation (URC) traced its beginnings all the way back to 1954. John Gokongwei, Jr. was doing very well then as a trader/importer. He had learned the trade when his father died before the war, and had worked hard through the war and postwar years to prosper. However, while he thrived, he took a long hard look at his company, and correctly predicted that trading would remain a low-margin business. On the other hand, a successful manufacturer controlling its own production and distribution would command more profitable margins. Mr. John decided to construct a corn milling plant to produce glucose and cornstarch, Universal Corn Products (UCP), the first building block of the company that would become URC. For a time, business was good. However, Mr. John was still looking ahead, working with an eye towards the future. While the business was doing very well, it
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS ON UNIVERSAL ROBINA CORPORATION : 5

was producing essentially a commodity, which a customer could easily access elsewhere. To stay ahead in the game, Mr. John had to diversify by producing and marketing his own branded consumer foods, similar to the multinational companies in the Philippines like Nestle and Procter & Gamble. In a sense, he wanted to put up the first local MNC, borne out of their best practices. Thus, in 1961, Consolidated Food Corporation was born. Their first home run product was Blend 45, the first locally-manufactured coffee blend, dubbed as the Pinoy coffee. This became the largest-selling coffee brand in the market, even beating market leaders Caf Puro and Nescafe. After coffee came chocolates. Nips, a panned chocolate similar to M&Ms, were a staple of Filipino childhood. In 1963, Robina Farms started operations, beginning with poultry products. This was also the beginning of the vertical integration of the Gokongwei businesses, as the farms would be able to purchase feeds from UCP in the future. Later that decade, Robichem Laboratories would be put up, to cater to the veterinary needs of the farms businesses. Robina Farms expanded as it entered the hogs business in the latter part of the 70s. 1966 saw the establishment of Universal Robina Corporation, which pioneered the savory snacks industry in the Philippines through its Chiz Curls, Chippy, and Potato Chips, under the Jack n Jill brand. Other snack products would follow over the years, as the company successfully introduced market

leaders like Jack 'n Jill Pretzels (pretzels), Piattos (fabricated potato chips), and Maxx (hard candy). The coming decades saw more acquisitions and expansion. In the early 1970s, the Gokongwei family entered the commodities business through the formation of Continental Milling Corporation, for flour milling and production. The late 1980s brought the acquisition of three sugar mills and refineries, under URC Sugar. These two businesses provided stable cash flows, and allowed for further vertical integration in the supply chain, to help URC weather any volatility in the cyclical commodities markets. In line with this strategy, the late 1990s saw the entry of URC into the plastics business, through URC Packaging. As the businesses became more diversified, the companies were slowly integrated in order to streamline operations and minimize costs. In 2005, the present structure of the group was completed. All the different companies are now organized under Universal Robina Corporation, divided into three focused groups: the Branded Consumer Foods Group, composed of BCFG Domestic (including packaging) and URC International, for the production and sale of snacks, beverage, and grocery products,

the Agro-Industrial Group, composed of Universal Corn Products, Robina Farms, and Robichem, for the production and sale of animal feeds, day-old chicks, hogs, and veterinary medicine,

and the Commodity Foods Group, with the Sugar and Flour divisions, for the production of flour and sugar, and for sugar milling and refining services. URC is a core subsidiary of JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (JGSHI) which is one of

the largest business conglomerates listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange. URC owned the Philippine Basketball Association franchise Great Taste Coffee Makers which played from the inaugural 1975 season to 1992 when the company sold the team to Sta. Lucia Realty. The Coffee Makers won 6 PBA championships.

earnings was due to net income during the year, net of dividends declared.

The 72.23% decrease in treasury shares can be attributed to reissuance of Company shares. 97.1% decrease in equity attributable to non-controlling interests was due to acquisition of the remaining 23% minority share in URC International, net of share in the net income of Nissin-URC.
