Various diversification/ new product lines introduced by the Company during the last three years
As of December 31, 2022, there is no diversification/new product lines introduced by the Company during
the last three years.
Competition
The Company believes that competition for mall space is primarily based on location, tenant mix and overall
attractiveness of the property. For most of its Mall Properties, major competitors include SM Prime Holdings,
Inc. and Robinsons Land Corporation.
Competition for office space is principally on the basis of location, quality and reliability of the project’s
design and equipment, reputation of the developer, supply of comparable space, changing needs of business
users, and PEZA registration. The Company’s primary competitors are Ayala Land, Inc. and its REIT
Subsidiary, Megaworld Corporation and its REIT Subsidiary, Robinsons Land Corporation and its REIT
Subsidiary, Filinvest Land Inc. and its REIT Subsidiary.
The Company competes on the basis of the strategic locations of its buildings, including their proximity to
the existing communities and accessibility to public transportation. The Company is committed to providing
an elevated customer experience and satisfaction by offering and maintaining mall and office projects of high
quality and reliability, meeting the evolving needs of our customers.
Suppliers
Site development and construction work is contracted out to various qualified and accredited independent
contractors. For larger projects, such as major repair or construction work, contracts are awarded on the basis
of competitive bidding. For operational repairs and maintenance projects, we hire contractors without a
competitive process based on our previous experience with the contractor. In all cases, our accreditation
procedure takes into consideration each contractor’s experience, financial capability, resources and track
record of adhering to quality, cost and time of completion commitments. We maintain relationships with
various accredited independent contractors and deal with each of them on an arm’s length basis. We are not
and do not expect to be dependent upon one or a limited number of suppliers or contractors.
The target customer segment of the commercial leasing business consists of broad C retail consumers. We
believe that our shopping malls address the needs and aspirations of our target customers through our wide
selection of retail outlets, supermarkets and department stores, together with other attractions, such as food
courts, cinemas and other entertainment facilities. We attract local chains and franchises, to satisfy the
preferences of our target customers.
The management team also took a proactive approach towards managing the tenant mix at its existing assets
to ensure optimal alignment with the needs of its target market, including removing and replacing delinquent
tenants with tenants that provide more suitable retail concepts and offerings and reorganizing mall layouts to
address customers’ needs as well as increasing the efficiency of available leasable area.
The remaining house and lot business is not dependent on repeat business from customers. MC has a
marketing agreement with Crown Asia Properties, Inc., a subsidiary of VLL, which has a broad market base
including local and foreign buyers.
8
Transactions with related parties
The Company, in its ordinary course of business, engage in significant commercial transactions with certain
companies controlled by the Villar Family, including the Villar Family Companies and their respective
subsidiaries. We have signed a memorandum of agreement with certain subsidiaries of Vista Land under
which we have been granted a right of first refusal and right of first offer in respect of certain commercial
properties by such VLL subsidiaries.
The Company’s policy with respect to related party transactions is to ensure that these transactions are entered
into on terms that are comparable to those available from unrelated third-parties.
Government approvals
The Company secures various government approvals such as license to sell, building and development
permits, environmental compliance certificate, business permits, etc. as part of the normal course of its
business.
The Company has no principal product that has pending government approval as of December 31, 2022.
By the nature of its business, the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to governmental regulations on its land
development and marketing activities, which includes, among others, zoning and environmental laws,
development permit and license to sell regulations. The Company’s subsidiaries comply with the said
regulations in the regular conduct of its business operations.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company is not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations
that will have an effect on the Company’s business operations.
Prior to any land development activity, the Company secure the requisite environmental permits, including
environmental compliance certificate and drainage permit for the sewage treatment plants, from the
appropriate government agencies.
The Company pay such amount as may be imposed by the appropriate government agencies for the
procurement of all necessary environmental permits prior to commencement of any development project. The
costs are generally minimal and vary from time to time.
Unless pertinent environmental laws are complied with, and requisite permits are secured, the Company
cannot and do not proceed with its projects.
Research and development activities, such as market research, training and contractor’s development
programs, are treated as normal operating expense. For 2022, the amount that the Company spent for research
and development is minimal and does not constitute a significant percentage of the Company’s revenues.
Employees
The executive officers of the Company are seconded from other companies in the Vista Land Group. The
employees of the Property Manager are responsible for supervising, managing, leasing, operating and
maintaining the Properties pursuant to the terms of the Property Management Agreement. The employees of
the Fund Manager are responsible for implementing the Company’s investment strategies and managing its
assets. As such, the Company did not directly hire its own employees. In addition, certain administrative
functions such as IT, legal and accounting support are provided by the Vista Land Group. The Company, the
Property Manager, and the Fund Manager are in compliance with all minimum compensation and benefit
9
standards, as well as applicable labor and employment regulations. There is no existing labor union nor any
collective bargaining agreement.
Each of the businesses of the Company would inevitably involve some risks factors such as:
➢ Competition;
➢ Socio-economic conditions of the country;
➢ Effect of the changes in global economy;
➢ Foreign exchange devaluation;
➢ Changes in the country’s political and economic situation;
➢ Inflation of prices affecting the cost and expenses;
➢ Reforms in the applicable rules and regulations affecting the Philippine Real Estate industry; and
➢ Changes in Philippine and International interest rates, with respect to the Company’s borrowings.
To mitigate the aforementioned risks, the Company shall continue to adopt prudence in financial management
and discipline in the area of operational controls, policies and procedures. With respect to competitive
pressures among the industry players, the Company shall continue to compete through project concept,
quality, affordability, and location of projects.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Revenues increased to ₱2,100 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from nil for the year ended
December 31, 2021. The 100% increase in the account was primarily attributable to the non-operation in 2021
and the transfer of the assets to the Company in March 2022 as well as the following:
• Rental income increased by 100% from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 to ₱1,958 million
for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to the increase in occupancy and
escalation rates. As of December 31, 2022, the occupancy rate is at 97%.
12
• Parking fees increased by 100% to ₱33 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from nil for
the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily driven by the increase in numbers of vehicles parked
in the malls.
• Other operating income increased from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 to ₱109 million
for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 100% increase was due to the increase in administrative
fees and other fees charged to tenants.
Fair value changes in investment properties recorded a loss ₱11,200 million for the year ended December 31,
2022 from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 attributable to the following:
• Decrease in fair value of investment properties increased by 100% to ₱10,658 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022 from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the recognition of
the changes in fair value of the investment properties transferred to the company in 2022. There was
a decline in the FV of properties as a result of the changes in the discount rate and cap rate as interest
rates are on an increasing trend.
• Straight line adjustments increased by 100% to ₱529 million for the year ended December 31, 2022
from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 due rental escalation of lease contracts recognized
on a straight line basis for the year.
• Lease commissions increased by 100% to ₱12 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from
nil for the year ended December 30, 2021 due increase in the lease commission charged for the year.
Cost and expenses increased from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 to ₱477 million for the year
ended December 31, 2022. The 100% increase in the account was primarily attributable to the following:
• Light and power expenses increased by 100% to ₱112 million for the year ended December 31, 2022
from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the increase in activities for the year as foot
traffic increase in the malls of the company.
• Outside services increased by 100% to ₱96 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from nil
for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the additional security and maintenance personnel as
increased activities in the community malls of the company.
• Advertising and promotion increased by 100% to ₱14 million for the year ended December 31, 2022
from nil for the year ended December 30, 2021 due to the increase in advertising and promotion
activities for the year as we are going back to normalcy.
Other Income
Interest income increased from nil for the year ended December 31, 2021 to ₱2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022. The 100% increase resulted from the interest earned from the increase in cash in banks
of the company for the year offset by the bank charges recorded for the year.
Benefit from income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was ₱43 million, an increase of 100% from nil
for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was due primarily to the increase of loss before tax for the year.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, net loss increased by 100% to ₱9,618 million in the year ended December 31,
2022 from nil in the year ended December 31, 2021. If we exclude the fair value adjustment for the period,
13
the company would have recorded a core net income of ₱1,569 million for the year ended December 31,
2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no seasonal aspects that had a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Neither were there any trends, events or
uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or
revenues or income from continuing operations. The Company is not aware of events that will cause a
material change in the relationship between the costs and revenues. Except as discussed in the notes to
financial statements Events after the report date on the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are no significant elements of income or loss that did not arise from the Company’s continuing
operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
As a result of the transfer of assets from Sponsors to the Company through property-for-shares swap, the
Company’s financial condition resulted into recognition and increased of almost all of its assets, liabilities
and equity in the year ended December 31, 2022 from the pro-forma ended December 31, 2021.
Total assets as of December 31, 2022 are ₱27,519 million compared to ₱510 million as of December 31,
2021, or a 5,295% increase. This was due to the following:
• Cash decreased by 83% from ₱510 million as of December 31, 2021 to ₱89 million as of December
31, 2022 due primarily to cash dividends paid for the year.

We have performed the procedures agreed with you and enumerated below with respect to the attached

the application of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of VistaREIT, Inc. (the “Company”)
via secondary offering on June 15, 2022. The procedures were performed solely to enable the Company
to comply with the Philippine Stock Exchange Inc.’s (PSE) requirement to submit an external auditor’s

• On a sample basis, trace additions and disbursements to the supporting documents such as
progress billings, bank statements, invoices and official receipts, and agree the amount to the
accounting records; and
• On a sample basis, inquire into and identify the nature of the additions and disbursements.
Check if the disbursements were classified consistently according to its nature based on the
