COMPANY PROFILE

Alaska Milk products were first manufactured in the Philippines in 1972 through Holland Milk Products, Inc. (HOMPI), a partnership between AMC's former parent company, General Milling Corporation (GMC), an industrial foods company with interests in flour, feed and soy bean milling, and a Dutch dairy company, Holland Canned Milk International B.V. HOMPI initially manufactured liquid canned filled milk products, (evaporated and sweetened condensed milk) and eventually expanded to manufacture powdered filled milk and UHT milk products division up until AMC's spin-off and incorporation as a separate and independent corporate entity in 1994. It was also a time when the company embarked on a major expansion program which prompted the company to tap the capital markets through an initial public offering (IPO) to raise funds for the capacity expansion of its powdered milk facilities. Alaska Milk shares were listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange in 1995. Post-IPO, GMC held 66% of AMC while 34% was left in free float to the public. In mid-1997, however, GMC transfered its 66% ownership in AMC to individual shareholders of GMC through a property dividend, thus fully divesting its interest in AMC and enabling management to consolidate and focus its efforts in pursuing AMC's interests in the consumer foods industry. Currently, management and strategic partner Campina Melkunie hold 56% while 44% is in public free float.

For over thirty years, AMC has emerged as one of only two major players in the Philippine milk industry, consistently maintaining brand leadership in the liquid canned milk category and holding a strong and growing position in powdered milk. It has also expanded into higher value-added milk products, particularly in UHT/Ready-to-Drink milk category. Apart from growing its core businesses, AMC endeavors to diversity and explore opportunities in related consumer products with global food companies that will complement AMC's existing revenue base.

Mr. Wilfred Uytengsu, Sr. is the Chairman of AMC and Mr. Wilfred Steven Uytengsu, Jr. is the President and Chief Executive Officer.

Milestones

In 1972, Alaska began caring for the Filipino family by providing quality milk products for good nutrition and health. Since then, it has shown its caring in other ways: through programs that promote sports development, campaigns that foster good values among children and product innovations aimed at enhancing the Filipino's health and welfare. It is this commitment to the Filipino that has made Alaska a leading brand. In 1996, the mission of caring for the Filipino and bringing nutrition to each home grows stronger than ever, as Alaska looks forward to the next 25 years.

Alaska believes that sports play an important role in instilling the value of discipline, hard work, team work and determination among the youth. These fundamental values develop character and are necessary attributes for success as much as good health and proper nutrition. Alaska's Sports Development Program, through the ALASKA POWER CAMP, is a vehicle to get the youth to develop their skills in volleyball, football and karting.

Aside from the Power Camp, the Alaska Football Cup is held every November at the Ayala Alabang Country Club fields. It consistently gathers over 200 teams and 3,000 boys and girls, ages 7-17 years old, from different parts of the country. These young football enthusiasts come together to compete in various age divisions, even traveling from far distances to compete. To date, it is the biggest amateur football tournament in the country.

4. Is Alaska Milk Corporation involved in any CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities?
The company partnered with Gawad Kalinga and the Municipality of San Pedro, Laguna in order to construct 100 homes in the six-hectare relocation site in Bayan-bayanan, Barangay San Vicente. The village will be the new home for some of the municipality's squatters. The company chose San Pedro, Laguna because it has been the home of AMC's manufacturing plant since 1972 and is Alaska's turn to give to the residents who welcomed them into their municipality.

To promote good nutrition for kids, Alaska Milk Corporation has formed ties with Children's Hour as well. Company employees and even Alaska Aces players and coaching staff are invited to donate a percentage of their salaries to the fund.
