Independent Auditor’s Report on the Financial Statements

We rendered a qualified opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the financial statements
for the year ended taking exceptions to the effects of the following:

1.   At least 186 completed infrastructure projects, comprising 33 projects under the Trust
     Fund (₱207,195,565.98) and 153 under the General Fund (₱42,292,425.04), were not
     properly reclassified from Construction in Progress (CIP) to the appropriate Property,
     Plant, and Equipment (PPE) accounts upon completion, resulting in significant
     overstatements in CIP balances and understatements in PPE and depreciation expense
     accounts in the financial statements.

2.   Entries for the Special Education Tax (SET) totaling ₱9,589,520.80 were recorded in the
     General Fund’s books instead of the Special Education Fund’s books, thus affecting the
     fair presentation of the SET Receivable and Deferred SET Income accounts in the
     financial statements at year-end.

                                                                                              ii
