The discussion further shows comparative pro-forma analysis for the reporting period. Max’s Group, Inc. consolidated revenues increased 159% to P2.40 billion from P926.73 million in the first three months of 2014. Store sales, which comprised bulk of revenues, rose 164% to P2.05 billion in the first quarter of 2014 versus P778.20 million for the same period last year. Commissary sales grew 111% to P255.38 million from P120.93 million year-on-year. Franchise income increased 233% to P91.93 million from P27.59 million in the first quarter of 2014. Topline growth was primarily driven by a larger store count catering to a broader customer base. 17 As of 31 March 2015, the company has a store network of 537 outlets including 30 branches overseas. Local store openings for the first quarter include Max’s Restaurant in SM Angono, Pancake House in Robinson’s Otis and Capitol Commons as well as Krispy Kreme in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. On the international front, the group opened a fourth Max’s Restaurant in the Middle East located in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and eight Pancake House located in IOI Mall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia . Max’s Restaurant likewise opened its 17th store overseas located in Scarborough, Ontario Canada. Other recent openings include Max’s Restaurant in Bonifacio Global City Stopover Pavillion, Jamba Juice in Greenbelt 3 and Krispy Kreme in SM North Edsa. Cost of sales was at P872.79 million in the first three months of 2015, translating to a cost to sales ratio of 38%, as against P340.10 million and a cost to sales ratio of 38% in the first three months of 2014. The improvement is mainly attributed to cost savings derived from supply chain efficiencies and a rationalized operational back-end. Cost of Labor stood at P373.83 million compared to P130.49 million in first quarter 2014. Operating expenses went up 146% to P719.74 million in the first quarter of 2015 against P292.68 million in the same period last year. Sales and marketing expenses reached P37.86 million in the first three months of 2015, up 30% year-on-year. General and administrative expenses amounted to P215.16 million, higher by 109% versus the same period last year. The increase in cost of sales and general expenses was a result of higher number of stores operational for the reporting period as opposed to the previous year. Consolidated EBITDA stood at P339.71 million, up 230% versus P102.98 million in the first quarter of 2014. The company posted a net income of P140.20 million, 372% higher from P29.68 million as of 31 March 2014. For the whole year 2015, MGI plans to open around 80-90 stores mainly from its winning brands, with at least half already being primed in secured locations. The company foresees to accelerate its roll out pace starting next quarter. COMPARATIVE PRO-FORMA ANALYSIS Consolidated revenues increased 6% to P2.40 billion in the first three months of 2015 from P2.27 billion in the same period last year. Store sales, which comprised of bulk of revenues, rose 6% to P2.05 billion from P1.93 billion in the first quarter of 2014. The company opened six new outlets in the first three months of 2015 but deliberately ceased operations of seven underperforming branches in line with the company’s thrust of rationalizing its store network. As a result, commissary sales decreased 6% to P255.38 million from P271.46 million in the first quarter of 2014. On the other hand, franchise income grew 40% to P91.93 million versus P65.54 million year-on-year driven by additional franchised outlets. Cost of Sales slightly improved coming in at P872.79 million, translating to a cost to sales ratio of 37.8%, as opposed to P842.17 million with a cost to sales ratio of 38.2% in the first three months of 2014. The company has adopted category management in the procurement of raw materials to capitalize on negotiated prices with suppliers. Cost of Labor increased 5% to P373.83 million owing to higher manpower expenses. Operating expenses rose 1% to P719.74 million compared to P714.35 million in the first three months of 2014. 18 Notably, the increase in operating expenses is fairly marginal considering a larger scale of operations in the first quarter of 2015. The impact of cost containment efforts being implemented across the business have already been felt as early as the first quarter. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 26% to P37.86 million from P51.45 million year-on-year. The company continues to launch aggressive marketing campaigns utilizing more efficient and effective advertising platforms. General and administrative expenses went up 1% to P215.16 million on lower occupancy costs and reorganized head office activities. Consolidated EBITDA came in at P339.71 million, up 209% from P109.89 million year-on-year. Other income, composed of interest expense and non-operational gains, grew 111% to P14.40 million from a loss of P128.93 million in the first quarter of 2014 due to the retirement of loans related to the acquisition of Pancake House Group. Consequently, the company swung from a loss of P23.80 million in the first three months of 2014 to a net income of P140.20 million for the first quarter of 2015. While the company has started to realize the effect of its revamping program, it still expects to recognize a sizeable portion of cost savings derived from operational efficiencies and synergies for the rest of the year. This initiative also provides flexibility to divert resources to other valueaccretive activities leading to margin improvement.

Store sales, accounted for 86% of total revenues was at P4.19 billion, with a network of 540 branches including 28 overseas as of December 31, 2014. The Company deliberately ceased operations of 33 outlets across different brands in 2014. This initiative saved the Company approximately P31.5 million annually, allowing the Company to divert resources to other growing and value-accretive ventures. Commissary sales, constituted 11% of total revenues stood at P518.0 million in 2014. There are on-going activities to rationalize back-end operations by maximizing productivity of the Company’s existing commissaries. Franchise income (franchise and royal fees) comprised 3% of total revenues came in at P156.4 million in 2014. The Company opened 12 franchised stores and signed four new franchise agreements during the year. These are expected to be part of the Company’s store expansion pipeline in 2015. Winning brands Max’s, Pancake House, Yellow Cab and Krispy Kreme were the largest revenue contributors of the group. Full year Pancake House and Yellow Cab revenues were at P993.5 million and P1.95 billion, respectively. Max’s and Krispy Kreme revenues for the last two months of 2014 were at P802.8 million and P278.6 million, correspondingly. These brands collectively accounted for P4.02 billion or 83% of total revenues for the reported period. 20 The Company continues to refresh its others brands namely Teriyaki Boy, Dencio’s and Sizzlin’ Steak by repositioning and right-sizing stores in prime locations, uplifting food quality, enhancing store appearance and improving service levels. Following its merger with the Pancake House Group, the company underwent a comprehensive revamping program to align its portfolio of brands and consolidate operations. This initiative includes enhancing top brands, reinvigorating, selling, converting or discontinuing underperformers and upgrading service platforms. Consolidated cost of sales was at P3.95 billion in 2014 or 81% of total revenues, primarily driven by price fluctuations in raw materials and packaging components. General and administrative expenses came in at P712.7 million or 15% of total revenues in 2014, mainly attributed to personnel expenses and occupancy costs. Provision for impairment loss was recorded at P150.6 million in 2014, due to the effect of allowances booked for past due accounts and leasehold improvements related to closed stores. This is part of management’s on-going housekeeping initiative to enter 2015 with a stronger balance sheet. Selling and marketing expenses stood at P203.2 million in 2014, mainly steered by intensified advertising and promotional campaigns aimed at strengthening brand equity and broadening market scope. Consolidated EBITDA registered at 5.9% of sales to P286.6 million for the twelve months ended 2014 of Pancake House Group and two months ended 2014 of Max’s Entities. As a result of interest and other costs related to the acquisition and integration, the Company posted a net loss of P66.2 million as of December 31, 2014. Excluding one-time costs, core net income would have been P73.2 million in 2014. As of today, the company is implementing its blueprint for generating synergies within its base of operations across all brands primarily from supply chain, marketing and support services. The company will adopt category management in its procurement of raw materials to capitalize on negotiated prices with suppliers. A shared services model will likewise be rolled out in the first half of 2015 to centralize back-end support for both local and international operations. The company expects to benefit from considerable cost savings as it expects to realize a significant portion of these efficiencies this year, creating more flexibility to reallocate resources and expand margins. Management actions on the integration are on track with the company’s overall development strategy. The company continues to evaluate opportunities for expansion and identify other savings. For this year, the company plans to open 80-90 stores across its brands, with at least more than half already backed by signed agreements and firm locations to date. 21 Comparative Pro-forma and Core Income Statement The following provides a comparative pro-forma and core income statement discussion reflecting combined results of operations for both Max’s Entities and Pancake House Group for full year 2014.

Store sales grew 7% to P8.02 billion in 2014 versus P7.25 billion in the previous year despite planned closure of 33 outlets and downtime owing to renovation works carried out to upgrade store facilities. Commissary sales declined 4% to P1.26 billion in 2014 from P1.30 billion in 2013 while franchise income (franchise and royalty fees) contracted 6% to P267.5 million as a result of management’s deliberate move to shut down underperformers, which included some franchised stores. Consolidated cost of sales was at P7.72 billion, equivalent to 80% of total revenues in 2014, down 5% from P7.25 billion and a cost to sales ratio of 80% in 2013, due to the impact of streamlining supply chain activities and optimization of commissary operations.

On a stand-alone basis, Max’s Entities posted a net income of P1.39 billion in 2014 primarily driven by mark-tomarket gains related to the sale of Max’s Group shares.

As a result of undertaking a series of market-moving transactions in 2014, the Company incurred certain costs, which are one-off in nature and are not expected to be part of the ordinary course of business moving forward. A total of P314.7 million were booked as nonrecurring expenses in 2014 bulk of which comprised of interest costs related to the acquisition, provisions for impairment losses on uncollected receivables and leasehold improvements due to closed stores as well as professional fees associated with capital raising.

IV. NATURE AND SCOPE OF BUSINESS The Company In 2014, the Company underwent a change in control and significant expansion of its business and operations. After the completion of a tender offer to acquire the shares of the public shareholders and the disposition by Pancake House Holdings, Inc. and the Aureos Group of their respective interests in the Company on February 24, 2014, the MGOC Shareholders beneficially took control of approximately 89.95% of the Company and subsequently integrated all of their interest in the Max’s Entities into the Company. With the combination of all 14 brands under its portfolio, the Company secured its position as the leader in the casual dining full-service restaurant industry in the Philippines. Since its incorporation in March 2000, the Company’s operating history can be characterized by a successful track record of developing, acquiring, managing and franchising restaurants under numerous well-known brands. The Company’s leading brands, Max’s Restaurant, Pancake House, Yellow Cab and Krispy Kreme remain at the forefront of the business. The Company’s operation of global brands Krispy Kreme and Jamba Juice in the Philippines also allowed these brands to gain a strong foothold in the Philippines and even benchmark themselves internationally in terms of product quality and development. Teriyaki Boy and Dencio’s continue to enjoy a high level awareness and specialty brands Maple, Kabisera ng Dencio’s, Sizzlin’ Steak, Le Coeur De France and Singkit have gained ground over their years of operation and still exhibit a considerable potential for growth. All together, the brands complement one another and command growing loyalty among their respective niches in the casual dining market. 26 The Star Brands Max’s Restaurant Max’s Restaurant is the Company’s flagship brand. The rich heritage and trusted brand of Max’s Restaurant comes from a proven track record in delivering world-class food with the best quality of customer service.

Eight years later, it successful launched its first franchised outlet in Greenhills, San Juan, and thereafter, more Pancake House outlets – both company-owned and franchised – opened in strategic sites.

The company expanded its operations steadily, requiring the setting up of a central commissary to support the logistical and operational needs of the growing number of restaurants. 27 The brand has been consistently equated with “comfort food” through the enduring appeal of its bestsellers, pancakes, waffles, pan chicken, tacos and spaghetti, which are constantly complemented by newer favorites that are aligned with its promise of always “Bringing Home Goodness”. The Company continuously makes the brand relevant by introducing new items in the menu, which adds to the variety that its customers look forward to, and eventually become their new favorites. Based on Company-commissioned research conducted by TNS in 2013 entitled “Understanding the Casual Dining Industry,” Pancake House is considered as “Best in Pancakes.” Commencing in 2014, the Company has initiated programs that will give the brand a new look, update the store design and improve the customer experience.

Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the historical cost basis. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousands except when otherwise indicated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) issued and approved by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) and adopted by the SEC, including SEC pronouncements. PFRS includes PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), and Philippine Interpretation from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). 3. Summary of Changes in Accounting Policies Adoption of New and Amended PFRS The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial years, except for the adoption of the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretation from IFRIC which the Group adopted effective January 1, 2014: Amendments to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Recognition - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ─ The amendments address inconsistencies in current practice when applying the offsetting criteria in PAS 32. The amendments clarify (1) the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’; and (2) that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. -3- Amendments to PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for NonFinancial Assets – These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, on the disclosures required under PAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or (cash generating units (CGU) for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements - Investment Entities ─ These provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. The adoption of the foregoing new and amended PFRS did not have any material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Additional disclosures have been included in the notes to consolidated financial statements, as applicable. New and Amended PFRS Not Yet Adopted Relevant new and amended PFRS which are not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2014 and have not been applied in preparing the financial statements are summarized below. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014: Amendments to PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions ─ The amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. Contributions that are set out in the formal terms of the plan shall be accounted for as reductions to current service costs if they are linked to service or as part of the remeasurements of the net defined benefit asset or liability if they are not linked to service. Contributions that are discretionary shall be accounted for as reductions of current service cost upon payment of these contributions to the plans. Amendments to PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures - Key Management Personnel ─ The amendments clarify that an entity is a related party of the reporting entity if the said entity, or any member of a group for which it is a part of, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent company of the reporting entity. The amendments also clarify that a reporting entity that obtains management personnel services from another entity (also referred to as management entity) is not required to disclose the compensation paid or payable by the management entity to its employees or directors. The reporting entity is required to disclose the amounts incurred for the key management personnel services provided by a separate management entity. Amendments to PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Amortization ─ The amendments clarify that, upon revaluation of an intangible asset, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways: (a) the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated amortization at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses; or (b) the accumulated amortization is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. -4- The amendments also clarify that the amount of the adjustment of the accumulated amortization should form part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount accounted for in accordance with PAS 38. Amendment to PAS 40, Investment Property - Classifying Property as Investment Property or Owner-Occupied Property – The amendment clarifies that determining whether a specific transaction meets the definition of both a business combination and investment property requires the separate application of PAS 40 and PFRS 3, Business Combination. Amendments to PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Contingent Consideration and Scope Exception for Joint Ventures – The amendments require that the contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss, including contingent considerations that are classified as financial instrument. The amendments also clarifies that the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself is excluded in the scope of PFRS 3. Amendments to PFRS 8, Operating Segments - Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation of the Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s Assets – The amendments require entities to disclose the judgment made by management in aggregating two or more operating segments. This disclosure should include a brief description of the operating segments that have been aggregated in this way and the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the aggregated operating segments share similar economic characteristics. The amendments also clarify that an entity shall provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Amendments to PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Short-term Receivables and Payables ─ The amendments clarify that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial. This also clarifies that the scope of the portfolio exception includes all contracts accounted for within the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they meet the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015: PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement ─ This standard is the first phase in replacing PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as defined in PAS 39. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016: PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts ─ This standard specifies the financial reporting requirements for regulatory deferral account balances that arise when an entity provides goods or services to customers at a price or rate that is subject to rate regulation. Under prevailing circumstances, the adoption of the foregoing new and amended PFRS is not expected to have any material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Additional disclosures will be included in the consolidated financial statements, as applicable. -5- 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has: Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. When the Group has less than majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; Rights arising from other contractual arrangement; and The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Parent Company and to the noncontrolling interests, even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance. Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of net results and net assets not held by the Group. These are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, apart from equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company and are separately disclosed in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of original business combination and the noncontrolling interests’ share on changes in equity since the date of the business combination. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Intercompany balances and transactions, including intercompany profits and losses, are eliminated. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary Derecognizes the carrying amount of any noncontrolling interests -6- Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained Recognizes surplus or deficit in profit or loss Reclassifies the parent’s share of component previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Consequently, the Group consolidates its investment in these companies. [c] Not included in the consolidation in 2014. [b] All of the subsidiaries are incorporated and operating in the Philippines, except for PHII, Teriyaki Boy International - Inc., Yellow Cab Food Co. International - Inc. which are incorporated in British Virgin Islands, Pancake House, International Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PHIM), a company incorporated and operating in Malaysia and Alpha Max which is incorporated in Hongkong. Business Combinations and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree pertaining to instruments that represent present ownership interests and entitle the holders to a proportionate share of the net assets in the event of liquidation either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of noncontrolling interest are measured at fair value unless another measurement basis is required by PFRS. Acquisition-related costs incurred are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree, if any. -8- If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain and loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. It is then considered in the determination of goodwill. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in consolidated statement of income or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of PAS 39, it is measured in accordance with appropriate PFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity, is not remeasured until it is finally settled and accounted for within equity. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for noncontrolling interest, and any previous interest held, over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedure used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then gain is recognized in consolidated statement of income. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGU that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within CGU unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained. If necessary information, such as fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, is not available by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are used for a period not exceeding one year from the date of acquisition or the measurement period. During this period, provisional amounts recognized for a business combination may be retrospectively adjusted if relevant information has been obtained or becomes available. Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The Group determines the classification of its financial instruments on initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. -9- Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value of the consideration given (in the case of an asset) or received (in the case of a liability). Except for financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), the initial measurement of all financial instruments includes transaction costs. Financial assets under PAS 39, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement, are categorized as either financial assets at FVPL, loans and receivables, held to maturity (HTM) investments or available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Also under PAS 39, financial liabilities are categorized as FVPL or other financial liabilities. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interests, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax benefits. Financial Assets As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have any financial assets at FVPL, HTM investments and AFS financial assets. The Group’s financial assets are of the nature of loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as financial assets held for trading, designated as AFS financial assets or designated at FVPL. Classified under this category are the Group’s cash, trade and other receivables, due from related parties and noncurrent receivables included under “Other noncurrent assets” which arise primarily from restaurant and commissary sales, franchise fees and royalty fees. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets when these are expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date or within the normal operating cycle, whichever is longer. Loans and receivables are recognized initially at fair value, which normally pertains to the billable amount. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization, if any, is included in “Interest income” account in the consolidated statement of income. The losses arising from impairment of loans and receivables are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The level of allowance for probable losses is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of accounts. Financial Liabilities As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have any financial liabilities at FVPL. The Group’s financial liabilities consist of other financial liabilities. Issued financial liabilities or their components, which are not designated at FVPL are categorized as other financial liabilities, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. The components of issued financial liabilities that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity - 10 - component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue. After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate which is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s trade and other payables, loans payable, long-term debt, mortgage payable and debt component of convertible notes. Other financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities when these are expected to be settled within twelve months from the reporting date or the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months from the reporting date. Fair Value Measurement 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 fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: In the principal market for the asset or liability, or In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest. A fair value measurement of nonfinancial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of not observable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is not observable. - 11 - For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting date. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have financial instruments measured at fair value. “Day 1” Difference Where the transaction price in a nonactive market is different from the fair value of other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a “Day 1” difference) in the consolidated statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other types of assets. In cases where use is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1” difference amount. Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if: 1. there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and 2. there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Impairment of Financial Assets Carried at Amortized Cost The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has or have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. - 12 - For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether an objective evidence of impairment (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognized, are not included in a collective assessment for impairment. The carrying value of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the consolidated statement of income. If in case the receivable has proven to have no realistic prospect of future recovery, any allowance provided for such receivable is written off against the carrying value of the impaired receivable. Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at reversal date. Derecognition of Financial Instruments Financial Asset. A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: 1. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; 2. the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or 3. the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred the control of the asset. Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. - 13 - Financial Liability. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Inventories Inventories consist of food and beverage, store and kitchen supplies and operating equipment for sale. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Cost is determined using the weighted average method. NRV of food and beverage is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. NRV of store and kitchen supplies and operating equipment for sale is the current replacement cost. In determining NRV, the Group considers any adjustment necessary for spoilage, breakage and obsolescence. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets include prepaid expenses, advances to suppliers and creditable withholding taxes. Prepaid Expenses. Prepaid expenses are carried at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected usage, which is equal to or less than twelve months or within the normal operating cycle. Advances to Suppliers. Advances to suppliers represent advance payments on goods or services to be purchased in connection with the Group’s operations. These are charged as an expense in the consolidated statement of income upon actual receipt of goods or services, which is normally within twelve months or within the normal operating cycle. Creditable Withholding Taxes (CWTs). CWTs represent the amount withheld by the Group’s customers in relation to its restaurant and commissary sales. These are recognized upon collection of the related sales and are utilized as tax credits against income tax due as allowed by the Philippine taxation laws and regulations. CWTs are stated at their estimated NRV. Property and Equipment Property and equipment, except for land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any allowance for impairment in value. Land is stated at cost less any impairment loss. The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and nonrefundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the property and equipment to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operations, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged to expense in the period the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of property and equipment. - 14 - Each part of an item of property and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated and amortized separately. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: Category Building Leasehold improvements Store and kitchen equipment Furniture, fixtures and equipment Transportation equipment Number of Years 10-25 5 or term of the lease, whichever is shorter 3-8 3-5 3-5 The estimated useful lives, depreciation and amortization methods are reviewed periodically to ensure that the periods and methods of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, both the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Fully depreciated and amortized assets are retained as property and equipment until these are no longer in use. Construction in-progress, included in property and equipment, is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction and other direct costs. Construction in-progress is not depreciated until such time as the relevant assets are completed and available for use. Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangibles are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding brand development costs, are not capitalized and expenditures is reflected in the consolidated statement of income in the year the expenditure is incurred. Trademarks. Trademarks are measured initially at cost. The cost of trademarks acquired in business combinations is its fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, trademarks are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The Group’s trademarks have a finite useful life of 20 years and are amortized over such period using the straight-line method. The useful life and amortization method for trademarks are reviewed at least at each reporting date. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the trademarks are accounted for by changing the useful life and amortization method, as appropriate, and treated as a change in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on trademarks is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the general and administrative expense category consistent with its function. - 15 - Software License. Software license is measured initially at cost which is the amount of the purchase consideration. Following initial recognition, software license is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The Group’s software license has a term of five years and is amortized over such period using the straight-line method. The useful life and amortization method for software license are reviewed at least at each reporting date. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the software is accounted for by changing the useful life and amortization method, as appropriate, and treated as a change in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on software is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under general and administrative expense category consistent with its function. Brand Development Costs. Brand development costs pertain to capitalized expenditures incurred for the development of methods, materials and course curriculum and programs for use in the operation of the Group. Brand development costs are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, brand development costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized using straightline method and begins when the development is complete and available for use over the period of expected future benefits, which is 20 years. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. The amortization expense on brand development costs is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the general and administrative expense category consistent with its function. Lease Rights. Lease rights are measured initially at cost which is the amount of the purchase consideration. Following initial recognition, lease rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The Group’s lease rights have a term of 5 years and are amortized over such period using the straight-line method. The useful life and amortization method for lease rights are reviewed at least at each reporting date. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the lease rights are accounted for by changing the useful life and amortization method, as appropriate, and treated as a change in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on lease right is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the cost of sales consistent with its function. Investment Properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which these arise. The fair value of an investment property is the price at which the property could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as typical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. The fair value of investment property should reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period. Derecognition of an investment property will be triggered by a change in use or by sale or disposal. Gain or loss arising on disposal is calculated as the difference between any disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the related asset, and is recognized in profit or loss. - 16 - Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is change in use, evidenced by cessation of owner-occupation or commencement of an operating lease to another party. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sell. Other Nonfinancial Assets Security Deposits on Lease Contracts and Utilities and Other Deposits. Security, utilities and other deposits represent payment for security, utilities and other deposits made in relation to the lease agreements entered into by the Group. These are carried at cost and will generally be applied as lease payments toward the end of the lease terms. Input Value-added Tax (VAT). Input VAT represents tax imposed on the Group by its suppliers and contractors for the purchase of goods and services, as required under Philippine taxation laws and regulations. The portion of input VAT that will be used to offset the Group’s current VAT liabilities is presented as current asset in the consolidated statement of financial position. Input VAT classified as noncurrent assets represent the unamortized portion of VAT imposed on the Group for the acquisition of depreciable assets with an estimated useful life of at least one year, which is required to be amortized over the life of the related asset or a maximum period of 60 months, whichever is shorter. Input VAT is stated at estimated NRV. Investment in Joint Ventures The Group has interests on the following jointly controlled entities: • ICF-CCE, Inc., a jointly controlled entity with Far Eastern University (FEU), prior to 2014 • CRP Singapore Holdings Pte. Ltd., a jointly controlled entity with a foreign entity The Group and the other party (the Venturers) have a contractual arrangement that establish joint control over the economic activities of the joint venture. The agreement requires unanimous agreement for financial and operating decisions between the venturers. The Group’s investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method based on the percentage share of capitalization of the Group in accordance with the joint venture agreement. Under the equity method, the investment is initially carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost plus the Group’s share in post-acquisition changes in the net assets of the joint venture, less any impairment in value. The consolidated statement of income includes the Group’s share in the results of operations of the joint ventures. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the joint ventures, the Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Dividends received from the joint venture reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. Any excess of accumulated equity in net losses over the cost of investment is recognized as a liability under “Provision for share in equity in net losses of a joint venture” account in the consolidated statement of financial position. - 17 - The reporting dates of the joint ventures and the Group are identical and the joint ventures’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures against the related investments. Unrealized losses are eliminated similarly but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment in the asset transferred. The Group ceases to use the equity method of accounting on the date from which it no longer has joint control over, or significant influence in, the joint venture or when the interest becomes held for sale. Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Property and Equipment, Intangible Assets, Security Deposits on Lease Contracts, Rental and Other Deposits and Input VAT The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that these nonfinancial assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates these nonfinancial assets’ recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses from continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. An assessment is made for these nonfinancial assets at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of recoverable amount. Any previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU, to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. - 18 - Investments in Joint Venture. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its joint ventures. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the interest in a joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the “Share in equity in net losses of joint ventures” in the consolidated statement of income. Convertible Notes Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise of convertible notes that can be converted to capital stock at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When there are changes in the estimates of future cash flows on the liability component, the carrying amount is adjusted to reflect the revised estimated cash flows. The revised carrying amount is calculated by computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using the original effective interest rate. Such adjustment to the carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition. Upon conversion, capital stock and any additional paid-in capital are recognized while the equity component relating to the converted notes are derecognized. Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital The Parent Company has issued capital stock that is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new capital stock are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Additional paid-in capital represents the excess of the investors’ total contribution over the stated par value of shares. Retained Earnings Retained earnings include accumulated profits attributable to the Parent Company’s stockholders and reduced by dividends. Dividends are recognized as liabilities and deducted from equity when they are declared. Dividends for the year that are approved after the reporting date are dealt with as an event after the reporting date. Retained earnings may also include effect of changes in accounting policy as may be required by the transitional provisions of new and amended standards. Shares Held by Subsidiaries Shares of the Parent Company held by subsidiaries are carried at cost and are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments. When the shares are retired, the capital stock account is reduced by its par value and the excess of cost over par value upon retirement is debited to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the specific or average additional paid-in capital when the shares were issued and to retained earnings for the remaining balance. - 19 - Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized. Restaurant Sales. Revenue is recognized when the related orders are served. Commissary Sales. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of goods. Franchise and Royalty Fees. Revenue is recognized under the accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the franchise agreements. Fees charged for the use of continuing rights granted in accordance with the franchise agreement, or other services provided during the period of the franchise agreement, are recognized as revenue as the services are provided or as the rights are used. Service Income. Service and management fee is recognized when related services are rendered. Delivery Income. Revenue is recognized when the related orders are delivered. Rental Income. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest Income. Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. Other Income. Other income is recognized when earned. Customer Loyalty Programme. The Group maintains a loyalty points program named “Orange Card” which allows the customers to accumulate points when they purchase products in the Group’s chain of restaurants. The points can then be redeemed for any food vouchers or freebies accepted in the Group’s chain of restaurants, subject to a minimum number of points being obtained. The consideration received is allocated between the products sold and points issued, with the consideration allocated to the points being equal to their fair value. The fair value of the points issued is deferred in “Deferred revenue” under “Trade and other payables” account in the consolidated statement of financial position and recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed. Costs and Expenses Recognition Costs and expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants. Costs of Sales. Costs of sales, which mainly pertain to purchases of food and beverages, direct labor and overhead directly attributable in the generation of sales, are generally recognized when incurred. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses are generally recognized when the services are used or the expenses arise. - 20 - Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, which represent advertising and other selling costs, are generally expensed as incurred. Employee Benefits Short-term Benefits. The Group recognizes a liability net of amounts already paid and an expense for services rendered by employees during the accounting period. A liability is also recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Short-term employee benefit liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. Retirement Benefits. The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets, adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Defined benefit costs comprise the following: Service cost Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset. Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on nonroutine settlements are recognized as expense in the consolidated statement of income. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically by independent qualified actuaries. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying the discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in the consolidated statement of income. Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI) in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to the consolidated statement of income in subsequent periods. - 21 - Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related obligations). If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is virtually certain. Operating Leases Group as a Lessee. Operating leases represent those leases under which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Noncancellable operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis. The difference between the straight-line recognition basis and the actual payments made in relation to the operating lease agreements are recognized under “Trade and other payables” (if current) and “Accrued rent payable” (if noncurrent) accounts in the consolidated statement of financial position. Group as a Lessor. Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and amortized over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Operating lease receipts are recognized as an income in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the straight-line recognition basis and the actual payments received in relation to the operating lease agreement is recognized under “Trade and other receivables” (if current) and “Other noncurrent assets” (if noncurrent) accounts in the consolidated statement of financial position. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. - 22 - Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of the entities of the Group is the Philippine peso except for PHII and its subsidiaries and Alpha Max, with functional currency in the United States dollar ($). Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded using the prevailing exchange rate at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the functional currency rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of income. The assets and liabilities of PHII and Alpha Max are translated into Philippine Peso at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and income and expenses are translated to Philippine peso at monthly average exchange rates. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity under the “Accumulated translation adjustment” account. Income Taxes Current Income Tax. Current income tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities. The income tax rate and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred Income Tax. Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: • where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO) to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax credits from excess MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized, except: • where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and - 23 - • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred income tax assets to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Earnings Per Share (EPS) Attributable to the Equity Holders of the Parent Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income for the year attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, with retroactive adjustments for any stock dividends declared and stock split. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s convertible notes are dilutive potential ordinary shares. In computing for the diluted EPS, the convertible note is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net income is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect, if any. Where the EPS effect of potential dilutive ordinary shares would be anti-dilutive, basic and diluted EPS are stated at the same amount. Operating Segments The Group operates using its different trade names on which operating results are regularly monitored by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer of the Group. However, as permitted by PFRS 8, Operating Segments, the Group has aggregated these segments into a single operating segment to which it derives its revenues and incurs expenses as these segments have the same economic characteristics and are similar in the following respects: a. b. c. d. the nature of products and services; the nature of production processes; the type or class of customer for the products and services; and the methods used to distribute their products and services. - 24 - Related Parties Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. An entity is also considered as a related party if the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity. Provisions Provisions, if any, are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Events After the Reporting Date Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the reporting date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements when material. Post year-end events that are non-djusting events are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when material. 5. Significant Judgments, Accounting Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements require management to exercise judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The judgments and estimates used in the consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. - 25 - Judgments In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Determining Functional Currency. The functional currency of the companies in the Group has been determined to be the Philippine Peso except for certain subsidiaries and joint venture whose functional currency are the US Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar. The Philippine Peso is the currency that mainly influences the sale of goods and services and the costs of sales. Determining Fair Values of Financial Instruments. Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models. The Group uses judgments to select from variety of valuation models and make assumptions regarding considerations of liquidity and model inputs such as correlation and volatility for longer dated financial instruments. The input to these models is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair value. Establishing Control Over Investment in Subsidiaries. The Group determined that it has control over its subsidiaries (see Note 4) by considering, among others, its power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. The following were also considered: The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee Rights arising from other contractual agreements The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights Acquisition Accounting. The Group accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recognized at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The application of the acquisition method requires certain estimates and assumptions especially concerning the determination of the fair values of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment as well as liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. Moreover, the useful lives of the acquired intangible assets and property and equipment have to be determined. Accordingly, for significant acquisitions, the Group obtains assistance from valuation specialists. The valuations are based on information available at the acquisition date. Operating Lease Commitments - The Group as Lessee. The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its restaurant premises and administrative office location. The Group has determined that all the significant risks and benefits of ownership of these properties remain with the lessors. Accordingly, these leases are accounted for as operating leases (see Note 28). Operating Lease Commitments - The Group as a Lessor. The Group has entered into commercial property sublease agreements. The Group has determined that all the significant risks and benefits of ownership of the properties remain with the Group. Accordingly, the lease is accounted for as an operating lease (see Note 28). - 26 - Operating Segments. Although each trade name represents a separate operating segment, management has concluded that there is basis for aggregation into a single operating segment as allowed under PFRS 8 due to their similar characteristics. This is evidenced by a consistent range of gross margin across all brand outlets as well as uniformity in sales increase and trending for all outlets, regardless of the brand name. Moreover, all trade names have the following business characteristics: (a) Similar nature of products/services offered and methods to distribute products and provide services, that is, food service through casual dining experience; (b) Similar nature of production processes through establishment of central commissary for the Group that caters all brands for all store outlets; (c) Similar class of target customers which are middle-class consumers; and (d) Primary place of operations is in the Philippines. Estimates and Assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the financial reporting date, 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. Estimating Impairment of Receivables. Management reviews the age and status of these receivables and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowances on a continuous basis. The Group maintains allowances for impairment losses at a level considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible receivables. Allowance for impairment losses amounted to P =180.7 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =22.1 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 8). Management believes that the allowance is sufficient to cover receivable balances which are specifically identified to be doubtful of collection. The aggregate carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and noncurrent receivables (included under “Other noncurrent assets” account), net of allowance for impairment losses, amounted to P =677.6 million and P =0.2 million as at December 31, 2014, respectively (P =441.8 million and P =4.9 million as at December 31, 2013, respectively) (see Notes 8 and 13). Estimation of Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence. The Group estimates the allowance for inventory losses related to store and kitchen supplies and operating equipment for sale whenever the utility of these inventories becomes lower than cost due to damage, physical deterioration or obsolescence. Due to the nature of the food and beverage inventories, the Group conducts monthly inventory count and any resulting difference from quantities that are currently recognized is charged to expense or related provision, as applicable. Inventories at cost amounted to P =364.3 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =96.9 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 9). - 27 - Estimating Impairment of Non-financial assets. The Group also assesses impairment on these assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The factors that the Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: • Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; • Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and • Significant negative industry or economic trends. In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make judgments and estimates that can materially affect the consolidated financial statements. There were no impairment indicators noted on these assets as at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The aggregate net book values of these assets amounted to P =3,340.1 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =742.9 million December 31, 2013) (see Notes 10, 11, 12, 13 and 28). Estimating Impairment of Goodwill. The Group tests annually whether any impairment in goodwill is to be recognized, in accordance with the related accounting policy in Note 4. The recoverable amounts of CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculations which require the use of estimates. Based on the impairment testing conducted, the recoverable amounts of the CGUs as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 calculated based on value in use are greater than the corresponding carrying values (including goodwill) of the CGUs as at the same dates. The carrying amount of goodwill amounted to P =3,803.4 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =889.5 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 12). - 28 - Estimating the Useful Lives of Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets. The Group reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets based on expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider expected future technological developments and market behavior. The estimated useful lives are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of these assets. In addition, estimation of the useful lives is based on collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. The net book values of property and equipment amounted to P =1,712.2 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =470.4 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 11). The net book values of intangible assets amounted to P =4,125.6 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =1,208.0 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 12). Estimating Debt Component of Convertible Notes. The determination of the debt component of the convertible notes is based on the discounted amount of future cash flows of the interest payments since the notes are mandatorily convertible into a fixed number of common shares after the lapse of the term. Interest payments represent the higher of consolidated net income or the dividends that the noteholders would have been entitled to as discussed in Note 18. Effectively, the dividends on common shares would serve as the minimum interest on the note. However, it is difficult to estimate these future dividends since there are no committed dividends on the Parent Company’s common shares and a pattern or trend could not also be determined based on prior years’ dividend payments. Consequently, the liability component was calculated based on the consolidated forecasted net income. The liability component is adjusted at each reporting date when there are significant changes in the consolidated forecasted net income using the original effective interest rate at the date of inception of the convertible notes. Such adjustment is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest and current portion of debt component of convertible notes, presented as part of “Trade and other payables” account, amounted to nil as at December 31, 2014 (P =11.9 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 14). Estimating Retirement Benefit Costs. The determination of the Group’s obligation and pension cost is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by the actuaries in calculating such amounts, which are described in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements. Retirement benefit costs amounted to P =21.3 million in 2014 (P =22.3 million in 2013 and =18.7 million in 2012). Retirement plan asset amounted to P P =462.2 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =5.1 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 24). Accrued retirement liability amounted to P =101.9 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =63.0 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 24). - 29 - Estimating Realizability of Deferred Income Tax Assets. The Group reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at each reporting date and reduces the amounts to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized in the future. The amount of deferred income tax assets that are recognized is based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies to which the deferred income tax assets can be utilized. The Group has temporary differences, excess MCIT and unused NOLCO totaling to P =72.5 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =90.5 million as at December 31, 2013), for which no deferred income tax assets were recognized. The carrying values of deferred income tax assets amounted to =182.0 million as at December 31, 2014 (P P =113.8 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 26). Estimating Contingencies. The estimate of probable costs for the resolution of possible claims has been developed in consultation with the internal and external counsel handling the Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon analysis of potential results. No provision for probable losses arising from legal contingencies was recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 (see Note 32). 6. Business Combination As discussed in Note 1, on November 7, 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the outstanding and issued capital stock of the 20 Max’s Entities. The following is a summary of provisional fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at acquisition date: Fair Value Recognized on Acquisition Assets: Current assets Property and equipment Investment properties Other noncurrent assets Liabilities: Trade and other current payables Borrowings Other noncurrent liabilities Total identifiable net assets acquired at fair value Fair value of share consideration in exchange of the shares of stock of the 20 Max’s Entities Goodwill arising from acquisition =P1,253,575 1,162,616 439,243 4,479,827 7,335,261 738,289 5,359,092 265,264 6,362,645 972,616 3,975,336 =3,002,720 P - 30 - Goodwill recognized is a result of the expected synergies from combined operations of the acquirees and the acquirer, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and other factors. The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis. The Parent Company is still in the process of completing its accounting of the transaction and reasonable changes are expected as additional information becomes available. This will be finalized in 2015 as allowed by PFRS.

Value in use was derived using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a zero percent growth rate. Discount rate applied to the cash flow projections in determining recoverable amount is 10% and 12% in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The calculations of value in use of goodwill are most sensitive to the following assumptions: a. Discount rates - Discount rates were derived from the Group’s weighted average cost of capital and reflect management’s estimate of risks within the CGUs. This is the benchmark used by the management to assess operating performance and to evaluate future investment proposals. In determining appropriate discount rates, regard has been given to various market information, including, but not limited to, ten-year government bond yield, bank lending rates and market risk premium and country risk premium. b. Growth rate estimates - The long-term rate used to extrapolate the budget for the investee companies excludes expansions and possible acquisitions in the future. Management also recognizes the possibility of new entrants, which may have significant impact on existing growth rate assumptions. Management however, believes that new entrants will not have a significant adverse impact on the forecast included in the budget. - 38 - The rollforward of trademark, brand developments costs and lease rights are as follows: Cost Balances at beginning of year Effect of: Business combination Disposal of investment in subsidiaries Additions Disposal Balances at end of year Accumulated Amortization Balances at beginning of year Effect of: Business combination Disposal of investment in subsidiaries Amortization Disposal Balances at end of year Net Book Value 2014 Brand Development Costs Lease Rights Franchise Fees Total P =7,128 P =– P =589,738 3,701 – 26,846 64,328 – 7,500 (692) 59,696 – 2,875 (3,114) 9,435 – 2,242 – 9,370 (5,973) – – 20,873 (5,973) 12,617 (3,806) 656,904 258,109 8,094 1,186 3,884 – 271,273 322 16,661 1,480 – 8,885 27,348 – 28,443 – 286,874 P =270,656 – 8,041 (515) 32,281 P =27,415 (1,186) 1,151 – 2,631 P =6,804 – 1,037 – 9,922 P =10,951 (1,186) 39,786 (2,569) 334,652 P =322,252 Trademarks Software P =556,503 P =20,134 P =5,973 1,027 32,754 – – – 557,530 – 1,114 (2,054) 2,944 P =6,426 2013 Cost Balances at beginning of year Additions Balances at end of year Accumulated Amortization Balances at beginning of year Amortization Translation adjustment Balances at end of year Net Book Value Trademarks Software Brand Development Costs =556,503 P – 556,503 =12,794 P 7,340 20,134 =5,973 P – 5,973 =7,128 P – 7,128 =582,398 P 7,340 589,738 233,034 28,286 (3,211) 258,109 =298,394 P 1,835 6,259 – 8,094 =12,040 P 887 299 – 1186 =4,787 P 2,458 1,426 – 3,884 =3,244 P 238,214 36,270 (3,211) 271,273 =318,465 P Lease Rights Total 13.

Significant Contracts and Agreements Franchise Agreements The Group has granted its franchisees the right to adopt and use the restaurant system of several brands in restaurant operations for a period and under the terms and conditions specified in the franchise agreements. The agreements provide for an initial franchise fee payable upon execution of the agreement and monthly royalty fees. The following table presents the royalty fee rates and the aggregate amounts of royalty fees recognized in each brand: Pancake House Max’s Dencio’s Teriyaki Boy Yellow Cab Royalty Fee Rates* 9% 5% 8%-9% 10% 3%-6% *as a percentage of Net Sales of franchised store outlets 2014 P =75.8 million 28.5 million 22.8 million 14.3 million 15.0 million 2013 =86.3 million P – 21.4 million 17.8 million 19.4 million 2012 =69.6 million P – 22.9 million 25.4 million 14.1 million - 55 - Operating Lease Agreements Group as Lessee. The Group leases its restaurant and commissary premises and offices it occupies with various lessors for periods ranging from 1 to 15 years, renewable upon mutual agreement between the Group and its lessors. The lease agreements provide for a fixed rental and/or a monthly rental based on a certain percentage of actual sales or minimum monthly gross sales. Security deposits on lease contracts amounted to P =320.6 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =139.9 million as at December 31, 2013), which is equivalent to one to three months rental. Rental expense charged to costs of sales and general and administrative expenses amounted to =211.7 million in 2014 (P P =204.6 million and P =417.1 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively) (see Notes 20 and 21). Accrued rent payable amounted to P =37.3 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =31.6 million as at December 31, 2013), which represents the straight-line adjustment on rent.

Rent receivable arising from straight-line adjustment amounted to P =1.1 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =1.1 million as at December 31, 2013). 29. Financial Instruments Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Group’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade and other receivables, noncurrent receivables (included under “Other noncurrent assets”), trade and other payables, loans payable, mortgage payable, debt component of convertible notes and long-term debt. The BOD is mainly responsible for the overall risk management approach and for the approval of risk strategies and principles of the Group. It also has the overall responsibility for the development of risk strategies, principles, frameworks, policies and limits. It establishes a forum for discussion of the Group’s approach to risk issues in order to make relevant decisions. - 56 - The main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The BOD reviews and approves the policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below. Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s objectives to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking adverse effect to the Group’s credit standing. The Group seeks to manage its liquid funds through cash planning on a weekly basis. The Group uses historical figures and experiences and forecasts from its collections and disbursements. As part of its liquidity risk management, the Group regularly evaluates its projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund raising activities. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans, loans from related parties, convertible notes and other long-term debts. The Group considers its available funds and its liquidity in managing its long-term financial requirements. It matches its projected cash flows to the projected amortization of convertible notes. For its short-term funding, the Group’s policy is to ensure that there are sufficient operating inflows to match repayments of loans payable. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the financial assets held by the Group for liquidity purposes consist of cash and trade and other receivables. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Since the Group trades only on a cash or credit card basis and with recognized third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Group’s exposure to credit risk on trade and other receivables arise from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these receivables. Credit risk from cash is mitigated by transacting only with reputable banks duly approved by management. The tables below summarize the aging analysis of the Group’s financial assets: 2014 Cash with banks Trade and other receivables: Trade Nontrade Royalties Officers and employees Credit card receivable Receivable from sale of asset group Receivable from franchisees Other receivables Receivable from disposal of interest Noncurrent receivables Total P =848,497 Neither Past Due nor Impaired P =848,497 Over 90 days P =– Impaired Financial Assets P =– 30 days P =– 372,991 209,854 33,619 45,167 11,885 152,186 85,624 16,313 29,792 11,885 30,484 17,151 3,714 932 – 8,156 4,589 3,869 1,589 – 9,358 5,265 3,177 4,234 – 46,599 52,102 6,359 7,688 – 126,208 45,123 187 932 – 52,922 73,946 57,919 – 35,882 25,280 – 8,170 4,078 – 8,511 3,752 – 6,988 5,570 52,922 13,987 11,353 – 408 7,886 143,571 163 P =1,850,534 – 163 P =1,205,623 – – P =64,529 – – P =30,466 – – P =34,592 143,571 – P =334,581 – – P =180,744 Total =341,682 P Neither Past Due nor Impaired =341,682 P Over 90 days =– P Impaired Financial Assets =– P 30 days =– P 52,922 167,128 45,371 25,344 15,605 6,776 150,851 4,927 =810,606 P – 68,191 – 12,298 10,293 6,776 65,841 4,927 =510,008 P – 27,318 – 2,800 322 – 10,621 – =41,061 P 52,922 54,774 45,371 4,794 2,656 – 29,569 – =190,086 P – 1,149 – 140 321 – 20,538 – =22,148 P Past due but not Impaired 30-60 days 60-90 days P =– P =– 2013 Cash with banks Trade and other receivables: Receivable from sale of asset group Trade receivable Due from ICF-CCE, Inc.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within acceptable limits and within existing regulatory guidelines. The Group believes that its profile of foreign currency exposure on its assets and liabilities is within conservative limits based on the type of business and industry in which the Group is engaged. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 pertains to the financial position and performance of PHII and PHIM which were presented in $ and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), respectively. The Group’s $-denominated and MYR-denominated financial assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are considered immaterial in relation to the consolidated financial statements. Thus, management believes that the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is insignificant. Interest Rate Risk. The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its loans payable, long-term debt and mortgage payable. To manage this risk, the Group determine the mix of its debt portfolio as a function of the level of current interest rates, the required tenor of the loan and the general use of the proceeds of its fund raising activities. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s income before tax: December 31, 2014 December 31, 2013 Increase (decrease) in basis points +50 -50 Effect on income before tax 16,901 (16,901) 50 -50 5,491 (5,491) - 59 - Fair Value Information and Categories of Financial Instruments The carrying values and fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 approximate their fair values. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value: Cash in Bank and Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables, Trade and Other Payables, Loans Payable and Mortgage Payable. The carrying amounts of cash in bank and equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, loans payable and mortgage payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. Noncurrent Receivables. The fair value of noncurrent receivables was based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable risk-free rates for similar types of accounts adjusted for credit risk. Debt Component of Convertible Notes. The fair value of the debt component of convertible notes was based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates ranging from 10.52% in 2014 and 6.15% in 2013. Long-term Debt. The fair value of the long-term debt was based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rate of 3.78% and 4.74% in 2014 and 2013, respectively. 30. Capital Management The Group considers the equity attributable to the Parent Company presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as its capital. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to stockholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes in 2014 and 2013. The Group monitors capital using the debt-to-equity ratio, which is total liabilities (excluding equity in net loss over cost of investment in joint venture) divided by the total equity. The Group’s policy is to maintain debt-to-equity ratio at a level not greater than 2:1. The Group determines total debt as the sum of its liabilities. - 60 - Debt-to-equity ratios of the Group are as follows: Total liabilities Divide by total equity Debt-to-equity ratio 2014 P =5,868,323 4,032,871 1.46 2013 =P1,944,495 1,025,429 1.90 31. Operating Segment Information For management purposes, the Group is organized into operating segments based on trade names. However, due to the similarity in the economic characteristics, such segments have been aggregated into a single operating segment for external reporting purposes (see Note 7). Restaurant sales, commissary sales and franchise and royalty fees reflected in the consolidated statement of income are mainly from external customers and franchisees within the Philippines, which is the Group’s domicile and primary place of operations. Additionally, the Group’s noncurrent assets are also primarily acquired, located and used within the Philippines. Restaurant sales are attributable to revenues from the general public, which are generated through the Group’s store outlets. Commissary sales and franchise and royalty fees are derived from various franchisees of the Group’s trade names. Consequently, the Group has no concentrations of revenues from a single customer or franchisee for the in 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Group’s international operations of the Pancake House brand (through PHII) are considered to be immaterial in relation to the consolidated financial statements. Total assets and revenues are 6.65% and 1.14% in 2014 and 4.12% and 0.02% in 2013, respectively, of the consolidated assets and revenues of the Group. - 61 - 32. Other Matters a. Contingencies The Parent Company and PHVI were named defendants in a civil case filed in October 2002 by Kenmor for the collection of a sum of money and damages. On September 20, 2013, the Parent Company, PHVI and Kenmor Corporation have agreed to amicably settle the case. On the same date, the Parent Company paid the agreed amount to Kenmor Corporation to settle all of its claims. b. Acquisition on Global Max Services Pte. Ltd (Global Max) and eMax’s, LLC, Colorado Ltd (eMax) On January 22, 2015, the BOD approved the Parent Company’s acquisition of eMax. eMax is a duly registered entity in Colorado, USA, primarily engaged in the granting of franchises for the development and operation of restaurants under the Max’s brand name within the North American territory. eMax holds the franchise and intellectual property rights for Max’s restaurants for North America. Such an acquisition will allow all shareholders of MGI to benefit from the expected growth of the Max’s restaurant business in North America. Moreover, on January 22, 2015, the BOD approved the Parent Company’s acquisition of Global Max. Global Max is a duly registered entity in Singapore engaged in the business of management consultancy services. This transaction will allow the Parent Company to consolidate support services for both local and international operations translating to cost efficiencies and operational synergies. 26th Floor Citibank Tower 8741 Paseo de Roxas Makati City 1226 Philippines www.reyestacandong.com Phone: +632 982 9100 Fax : +632 982 9111 BOA/PRC Accreditation No. 4782 November 12, 2012, valid until December 31, 2015 SEC Accreditation No. 0207-FR-1 (Group A) September 6, 2013, valid until September 5, 2016 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ON SCHEDULE OF RETAINED EARNINGS AVAILABLE FOR DIVIDEND DECLARATION The Stockholders and the Board of Directors Max’s Group, Inc.
