The trade and other payables located in the financial
position presented by Universal Robina has an increase in the amount of 64,494,473. It is due because the trade and other payables from 2020 is 15,226,257,283 and in 2021 it became 15,290,751,756. The amount presented in its financial position, through its trade and other payables specifically, is located and disclosed in the notes 35, related party transactions. The possible increase in the trade and other payables is due because of either purchase of inventories, which includes raw materials, indirect materials, supplies, which are used for manufacturing and other operations, on account, incurred expenses which was not paid by the company aside from those identified in the accrued expenses, etc. The increase in trade and other payables is not dramatic. Maybe the reason why the increase in not huge is because of there are some certain trade and other payables which was paid during the current year (2021) which was recorded in the prior year (2020) and doing the math, if the current year’s purchase of inventories, which are used for manufacturing and other operations, on account, incurred expenses which was not paid by the company aside from those identified in the accrued expenses, etc. are larger than the amount of trade and other payables paid during the current year, the increase will result into smaller amount than expected. Long-term liabilities The long-term liabilities presented in the Universal Robina’s statement of financial position has a decrease in the amount of 20,881,952,585. It is due because the amount of long- term liabilities during 2020 was 24,742,938,443 and it falls to 3,860,985,858 during 2021. Analyzing the amount presented, the possible reasons of the decrease in the long-term liabilities are the following: the long-term liabilities during 2020 was then decreased to 0 on 2021. This just mean that the long-term liabilities of 2020 were paid during 2021. Next is that, there is also a decrease in deferred tax liabilities which contributes another decrease, in effect, in the total amount of long-term liabilities presented on 2021. Furthermore, there is a huge decrease in the lease liability which also contributes a lot in making the current year’s long-term liabilities to decrease. Lastly, there is also a decrease in the amount of the other noncurrent liabilities presented in Universal Robina’s financial position. Because of the aforementioned factors, the total amount of the long-term liabilities which was currently presented was smaller than the previous amount reflected in the prior financial position of the company. The decrease in other noncurrent liabilities is presented in the notes 21. There, it reflects that there is a great decrease in the net pension liability from 1 billion to almost 400 million. Not limited to that, the miscellaneous was also totally removed in 2021. The decrease in the deferred tax liabilities on the other hand is presented in the notes 32. Long-term debts are presented in notes 20, 22, and 23. Finally, lease liability was presented and extensively disclosed in the notes 37. Share Capital Shareholders’ equity of the financial position represents the residual interest of the owners in the net assets of a corporation measured by the excess of assets over liabilities. The shareholders’ equity was composed of share capital, retained earnings, treasury share, revaluation surplus and other comprehensive income located at the shareholders’ equity section. Under the report of Universal Robina, there is no such movement on its share capital. Under the notes 22, during the years 2020 and 2021, the authorized shares are still the same as 2,998,000,000. There is no such difference between the two years. The par value per share also does not move from 1 peso during 2020 to still 1 peso during 2021. There is no such issuance of new shares to outside parties who are prospect investors, existing investors and other shareholders of the corporation. Thus, this scenario results into no movement in the amount of paid-in capital which was 2,230, 160,190 from 2020 until 2021. Paid-in capital represents the amount of shares issued only considering the par value per share. There is also no movement in the additional paid-in capital in the amount of 21,191,974,542 from 2020 until 2021. Additional paid-in capital includes the consideration received for issuing share other than its par value. Since there is no issuance, there is no such movement on these two components of share capital. These facts are supported under notes 22.
