last year reached php914 million, a 30% improvement from 2009, as volume of sales grew 7.0% translating to revenue of php22.7 billion. For the first three months of
the current year, GSMI's net sales narrowed by -18% to php4.522 billion compared to Q1 2010. Operating income posted an -82% slump to php85 million. It was the
only operating unit of the San Miguel Group that reported disappointing numbers, a portion of which may be attributed to elevated commodities and raw
materials/input costs and a marginal slowdown on consumer spending for liquor and liquor products.

MANILA WATER COMPANY , INC. [pse: MWC]


Disc. No. 2011-3639 2011 Q1 INCOME GROWS 10.7%
Core pre-tax net income increased by 14% year-on-year to php1.2 billion driven by a 5% growth in revenue on stable demand. However, a php122 million decrease
on the fair value of the php4 billion peso bond dragged the bottom-line 3% lower to php816 million. With 64k new household connections, revenue jumped to php2.7
billion, an improvement of 5%. Billed volume was flat at 98.9 million cubic meters. Non-revenue water level narrowed to 11.9%, significantly lower than the 14.2% in
Q1 2010. Sales outside its East Zone concession contributed 3.3% or php81 million to the revenue pie, a one percentage point improvement of its 2010 Q1
contribution. On the balance sheet side, EBITDA margins remained stable at 72%. BUY

FIRST GEN CORPORATION [pse: FGEN]


Disc. No. 2011-3641 NET INCOME LOWER FOR Q1 2011
The suspension of EDC's steam sales to Napocor for the Bacon-Manito and on the ongoing rehabilitation of its steam fields posed the biggest drag on attributable net
income to parent which came in at US$16.1 million, -55% lower year-on-year. Lower contributions of First Gen Hydro Power Corporation, owner of the 132MW
Pantabangan-Masiway Hydroelectric power plants, also weighed heavily on the bottom-line. EDC's contribution amounted to US$9.6 million from the comparative
period's US$21.4 million. FG Hyro's share also narrowed to US$2.9 million from US$17.5 million in Q1 2010. On a consolidated level, net income fell to US%29.1
million compared to US$50 million a year ago. This reflects a reduced net margins of 9.26% from 14.23% last year. Nevertheless, the Company claimed to have
“expected” the “poor” results based on the current improvement undertakings on the Bac-Man plant. The completion of which is expected to boost revenue moving
forward.

Disc. No. 2011-3644 Q1 NET INCOME AT PHP1.45 BILLION
EDC's net income for the first three months of 2011 dropped 61.4% to php1.45 billion mainly attributed to forgone steam sales from the Bac-Man Project it acquired
only last September 2010. Being in a transition phase, the Company had expected the drop. Lower WESM price and output, resulting in lower contributions from FG
Hyro also squeezed the bottom-line. SELL

ATLAS CONSOLIDATED MINING & DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION [pse: AT]
