It also operates engineering services and the following subsidiaries: DATE OF REGISTRATION % Ownership Description of Business Victorias Foods Corporation February 24, 1993 100% produces and sells canned sardines, hot (VFC) bangus, mackerel, luncheon meat, lechon paksiw, ham, bacon and other meat products Canetown Development February 9, 1979 88% develops and sells real estate properties; Corporation (CDC) develops, operates and sells memorial lots Victorias Quality Packaging July 4, 1990 55% sells special packaging products such as Corporation (VQPC) polyethylene and polyprophelene bags Victorias Golf and Country May 5, 1994 81% operates a golf club Club, Inc. (VGCCI) Victorias Agricultural Land June 30, 1987 100% acquires and owns agricultural lands and Corporation (VALCO) properties BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DURING THE PAST THREE (3) YEARS VMC is serious in its efforts to further improve its efficiency as well as product quality and the same is manifested in its zeal to engage in major expansion programs for the past three (3) years. Its unprecedented expansion programs resulted to high milling efficiency rates for Crop Years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 by milling 2,552,299 MT and 3,115,914 MT, respectively. For Crop Year 2011-2012 VMC was able to mill 3,100,509 tonnes cane, producing 6,400,064 Lkg. raw sugar. For Crop Year 2011-2012, VMC milled 3,100,509 MT, slightly lower by 15,405 tonnes cane from last crop year’s 3,115,914 tonnes cane, lower by 99,491 tonnes cane or three (3%) percent from the projection of 3.2 million tonnes cane. Although this production is lower than the previous crop year, VMC has retained its leadership when it comes to tons cane milled in the province with 25.82% share. CURRENT STATUS OF REHABILITATION PROGRAM In 1997, VMC filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a Petition for the Declaration of Suspension of Payments, and for the Approval of a Rehabilitation Plan. VMC’s total principal obligations and interest at that time stood at P7.9 Billion. Part of the rehabilitation plan was the restructuring of P4.4 Billion of debt over a period of fifteen (15) years beginning on 1 September 2003. Over the years, VMC has continued to pay its creditors in accordance with the scheduled amortization payments of its restructured debts. In fiscal year 2013, VMC paid in full the remaining restructured loans to its secured and unsecured creditors. 4 Another component of the rehabilitation plan was the conversion of P2.4 Billion of debt into convertible notes in accordance with the conversion schedules as provided for in the Debt Restructuring Agreement (DRA). As of FY 2013, VMC has converted a total of P702 Million convertible notes into common shares at the ratio of P1 convertible note to 1 common share. P273 Million worth of debts were converted in 2013, while P429 Million convertible notes were converted in previous years. The conversion of the notes into equity contributed significantly to the reversal of the previous negative Net Worth to a positive equity position. As of August 31, 2013, VMC’s Net Worth stood at P2.6 Billion. The continuous improvement in operations resulting to healthier bottom lines contributed to the significant reduction of the deficit for the past eight years by a total of P3.38 Billion from 2005, to only P421 million in 2013. VMC’s shares of stock (“VMC”) are listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and has resumed being traded in the Exchange on May 21, 2012 following the lifting by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PSE of the temporary suspension of its trading.

The recent crop year had been more productive and efficient in the operations, which are apparent in the increase in sucrose extraction and reduction in bagasse percent pol and moisture. These results were made possible due to improvements made in the operations. Reduction of downtimes due to Adjusted Milling Rate or AMR was noted. Increased imbibition was a result of the improvements in the Boiling House Area. One significant improvement made in the Mills is the upgrading of C- Mill No. 6 by installation of semi-independent hydraulic drives resulting to an outstanding efficiency of C-Mill.
