CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REPORT
I AM VERY PLEASED TO REPORT THAT 2012 WAS ANOTHER LANDMARK YEAR FOR SM DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
Not only did it deliver strong results but it also maintained its dominant position in the Philippine residential development business after it ranked as the top selling residential condominium developer in Metro Manila with a market share of 23% according to Colliers International Philippines. Our financial performance continued to be robust after we posted consolidated net income growth of 18% to Php4.9 billion. Revenues from real estate sales rose sharply 33% to Php21.6 billion, from Php16.2 billion in the previous year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization amounted to Php5.6 billion. These numbers reaffirm our belief that the Philippines has a huge underserved residential market that aspires for affordable homes, a better lifestyle, and the conveniences of strategically-located residences. Notably, SMDCs asset base expanded 49% to Php80.2 billion. As of December 2012, net debt to equity ratio remained conservative at a ratio of 29% net debt to 71% equity as we again adopted prudence to guard the company against cyclical risks inherent to the real estate business. Beyond prudence, and a good business model, SMDCs projects enjoyed the markets strong support as the number of units sold during the year increased 8% to 12,614 units from 11,726 units in 2011. Pre-sales increased 21% to Php31.7 billion in 2012, from Php26.3 billion in the previous year, which exceeded our targets. The sustained strong interest of numerous home buyers in SMDCs various residential condominium projects was matched by a fresh supply of attractive projects. We are firmly committed to address the needs and aspirations of a market that is likely to grow even further with the improvement in the economy marked by growing OFW remittances and improved consumer and investor confidence. Most of the units sold during the year were from Shell Residences in the Mall of Asia Complex, Green Residences along Taft Avenue, Jazz Residences in Makati, Light Residences along EDSA, Sun Residences in Quezon City, Grass Residences, also in Quezon City, and Wind Residences in Tagaytay City. By the end of the year, SMDC had 15 ongoing residential condominium projects all over Metro Manila, with the exception of Wind Residences in Tagaytay. We also launched in 2012 Grace Residences in Taguig, our newest suburban sanctuary which consists of four towers and is strategically located near three of the countrys lifestyle and business districts. Your company also launched Breeze Residences in Pasay City, which is a 38-storey development that is very near the SM Mall of Asia, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines. We have also expanded Jazz Residences in Makati, Wind Residences, and M Place @ South Triangle in Quezon City. These projects added over 6,878 units to our sales inventory. With these new and expansion projects, SMDC aims to strengthen its position in the premium mid-range market and reaffirm its commitment to provide Filipino home buyers with strategically located, high-quality but affordable homes. For 2013, we plan to launch four new projects and expand three existing developments in Metro Manila. The current economic expansion that can lead to higher savings and disposable incomes and a greater need for a better quality of life should continue to underpin demand for projects in prime locations. Moving forward, we will endeavor to build more homes that will provide comfort and a balanced environment for our communities. As we remain optimistic on our growth prospects for 2013, we thank you our shareholders, investors, contractors, employees and most of all our residents for your support.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
A Note from SM Foundation
SM Foundation remained steadfast in reaching out to more beneficiaries in 2012 through its advocacies in education, health and livelihood. These advocacies continued to show significant progress, backed by the fervent support of SM and its subsidiaries and various donor institutions and individuals.
To support its education advocacy, SM Foundation employed a two-pronged approach-- provide college scholarships to give quality education to the financially-challenged youth and donate school buildings to help address the classroom shortage in the country. Through its scholarship program, SM Foundation was able to produce a significant number of exceptional graduates who received Latin honors and academic distinctions. Many of the graduating scholars who took government board exams have also landed on the top ten. In 2012, there were 1,200 SM Foundation college scholars enrolled in various courses. There were 164 college graduates, with 76 of them earning honors. To date, SM Foundation has helped 1,500 students graduate through its scholarship program which paved the way for employment both here and abroad. Adding to this number were 93 technical-vocational scholars that graduated last year. SM Foundation also donated ten new school buildings in 2012 to public schools in Metro Manila (Navotas City), Cavite, Cagayan de Oro, Quezon, and Pampanga. Combined, these school houses provided 26 new classrooms. Some of these school buildings were donated in partnership with SM Development Corporation, SM Prime Holdings, BDO Foundation and Deutsche Bank. To enhance public health among indigent communities, SM Foundation conducted 85 medical missions in 2012 which surpassed its target for the year. These directly served over 89,000 beneficiaries in 2012. Since the projects beginnings in 2001, total medical missions amounted to 739, reaching a total of 600,203 beneficiaries. SM Foundations Virtual Blood Bank project also garnered the Jose Rizal Award, the highest recognition given to an organization by the Philippine Blood Center (PBC) of the Department of Health (DOH). The Virtual Blood Bank is the first of its kind in the country. The blood collected from employees is banked with the PBC and is available for SM employees and their families. Excess supply was donated to victims of the Dengue outbreak in 2011 and 2012. Under its Felicidad T. Sy Wellness Centers program, SM Foundation has likewise refurbished a total of eight rundown public health centers bringing to 77 the total number of centers that were restored since the start of the project. With regard to training on sources of livelihood, SM Foundation, through the Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan program provides farmers with training on effective ways of producing high yielding fruits and vegetables. Through this undertaking, trainings to farmers in 10 provinces were provided, covering 175 barangays and 42 municipalities. SM, in turn, supports the farmers by providing a market for their produce through the groups retail chains. SM Foundation trained a total of 1,245 farmers bringing the total of farmer beneficiaries to 5,421 since the projects inception. Notably, SM Foundation continued to support community development initiatives in SMs flagship eco-tourism development in Nasugbu, Batangas. Initiatives are geared towards skills training, mangrove planting and livestock raising and dispersal. SM Foundation was also quick to respond to calamity victims through Operation Tulong Express. When the Southwest Monsoon disaster struck in August 2012, SM Foundation distributed kalinga packs that benefitted a total of 54,200 families. In cooperation with SM Cares and SM Food Group and the Department of Social Welfare and Development, we also distributed relief goods to 6,600 families in Compostela, New Bataan, Montevista and Moncayo in the province of Compostela Valley in the aftermath of Typhoon Pablo. In addition, the SM Group of Companies donated Php10 million to the Philippine Red Cross for the rebuilding of some of the 40,000 homes that were destroyed during the typhoon, purchase of food and medicines for the victims and for the provision of a livelihood program. These accomplishments were a result of the hard work and dedication of the team behind SM Foundation. Through resolute partnerships with both the private and public sectors, SM Foundation will continue to carry out its advocacies to serve more communities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Stockholders and the Board of Directors SM Development Corporation 15th Floor, Two E-Com Center Harbor Drive, Mall of Asia Complex CBP-1A, Pasay City We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SM Development Corporation and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SM Development Corporation and Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the following amended PAS and PFRS which the Company has adopted during the year: PAS 12, Income Taxes - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (Amendments) PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments)
The adoption of these amended standards did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Company did not early adopt the following new standards, amendments and improvements to PFRS and Philippine Interpretations that have been approved but are not yet effective. The Company does not expect these changes to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements unless otherwise indicated. PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) (Amendments), will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. The amendments to PAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that can be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) will be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendments will be applied retrospectively and will result to the modification of the presentation of items of OCI. PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised), will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and rewording. The revised standard also requires new disclosures such as, among others, a sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, information on assetliability matching strategies, duration of the defined benefit obligation, and disaggregation of plan assets by nature and risk. Once effective, the Company has to apply the amendments retroactively to the earliest period presented. The Company reviewed its existing employee benefits and determined that the amended standard has significant impact on its accounting for retirement benefits. The Company obtained the services of an external actuary to compute the impact of adoption of the standard to its consolidated financial statements.

PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial liabilities (Amendments). The amendments to PAS 32 are to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. These amendments to PAS 32 clarify the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right to offset and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. While the amendment is expected not to have any impact on the net assets of the Company, any changes in offsetting is expected to impact leverage ratios and regulatory capital requirements. PFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments). The amendments to PFRS 7 are to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting period: (a) (b) (c) (d) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities; The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining the net amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet; The net amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet; The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including: i. ii. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral).
(e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above. PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. PFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Work on impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting is still ongoing, with a view to replacing PAS 39 in its entirety. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through OCI or profit or loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the liabilitys credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The Company has made an evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard. The Company decided not to early adopt PFRS 9 for its 2012 reporting ahead of its effectivity date on January 1, 2015 and therefore the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 do not reflect the impact of the said standard. Based on this evaluation, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities, both carried at amortized cost, and investments held for trading and available for sale investments, both carried at fair value, will not be significantly affected. Upon adoption, these financial instruments shall continue to be carried at amortized cost and fair value, thus, has no impact to the Companys financial position and performance. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Companys financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. The Company shall conduct another impact assessment early in 2013 using the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Given the amendments on PFRS 9, the Company at present, does not plan to early adopt in its 2013 financial reporting. It plans to reassess its current position once the phases of PFRS 9 on impairment and hedge accounting become effective. The Companys decision whether to early adopt PFRS 9 for its 2013 financial reporting will be disclosed in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2013. Should the Company decide to early adopt the said standard for its 2013 financial reporting, its interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ending March 31, 2013 will reflect application of the requirement under the said standard and will contain the qualitative and quantitative discussions of the results of the Companys impact evaluation. PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements, will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. PFRS 10 replaces the portion of PAS 27 that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in Philippine Interpretation Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) - 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by PFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27. As a consequence, what remains of PAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in the separate financial statements. PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. PFRS 11 replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and Philippine Interpretation SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. The new standard focuses on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. It removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. As a consequence, PAS 28 was amended and renamed as PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, to describe the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. PFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures related to consolidated financial statements that were previously in PAS 27, as well as all the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31 and PAS 28, Investments in Associates. These disclosures relate to an entitys interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRS for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted. This standard should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the annual period in which it is initially applied. Its disclosure requirements need not be applied in comparative information provided for periods before initial application of PFRS 13. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The interpretation requires that revenue on construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis will also be accounted for based on stage of completion. The SEC and the Financial Reporting Standards Council have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and an evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. The adoption of this interpretation will result to a change in the revenue and cost recognition from percentage of completion method to completed contract method. The Company has made an assessment and is continuously monitoring the impact of this new interpretation to its consolidated financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine, will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. This interpretation applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred in surface mining activity, during the production phase of the mine (production stripping cost). If the benefit from the stripping activity will be realized in the current period, an entity is required to account for the stripping activity costs as part of the cost of inventory. When the benefit is the improved access to ore, the entity should recognize these costs as a non-current asset, only if certain criteria are met (stripping activity asset). The stripping activity asset is accounted for as an addition to, or as an enhancement of, an existing asset. After initial recognition, the stripping activity asset is carried at its cost or revalued amount less depreciation or amortization and less impairment losses, in the same way as the existing asset of which it is a part.
Annual Improvements to PFRS These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and are applied retrospectively. Earlier application of these improvements is permitted. The improvements listed below are not expected to have significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements: PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the requirements for comparative information, clarifies the requirements for comparative information that are disclosed voluntarily and those that are mandatory due to retrospective application of an accounting policy, or retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in the financial statements. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the minimum required comparative period. The additional comparative period does not need to contain a complete set of financial statements. On the other hand, supporting notes for the third balance sheet (mandatory when there is a retrospective application of an accounting policy, or retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in the financial statements) are not required. PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of servicing equipment, clarifies that spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment should be recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment and should be recognized as inventory if otherwise. PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Tax effect of distributions to holders of equity instruments, that income taxes relating to distributions to equity holders and to transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for in accordance with PAS 12. PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - Interim financial reporting and segment information for total assets and liabilities, clarifies that the total assets and liabilities for a particular reportable segment need to be disclosed only when the amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change from the amount disclosed in the entitys previous annual financial statements for that reportable segment. PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS - Borrowing Costs, clarifies that, upon adoption of PFRS, an entity that capitalized borrowing costs in accordance with its previous generally accepted accounting principles, may carry forward, without any adjustment, the amount previously capitalized in its opening statement of financial position at the date of transition. Subsequent to the adoption of PFRS, borrowing costs are recognized in accordance with PAS 23, Borrowing Costs.

Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates of acquisitions and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Financial Assets Date of Recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. In the case of a regular way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done using settlement date accounting. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place. Initial Recognition and Measurement. Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS investments as appropriate. The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, and where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this classification at every balance sheet date. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. The Companys financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, receivables and advances, investments held for trading, AFS investments and cash in escrow under Deposits and Other Assets account. The Company has no HTM investments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Subsequent Measurement. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: Financial Assets at FVPL. Financial assets at FVPL include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at FVPL. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified under financial asset at FVPL unless these are designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. Financial assets at FVPL are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Mark-to-market gains on investments held for trading account in the consolidated statement of income. Interest earned is recorded as interest income while dividend income is recorded as income when the right to receive payments has been established. This category includes investments held for trading (see Note 8).
ANNUAL REPORT 2012

Loans and Receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not designated as AFS investments or financial assets at FVPL. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method (EIR), less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization as well as the losses arising from impairment is included in the Interest income account in the consolidated statement of income. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within 12 months from the balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. This category includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables and advances and cash in escrow under Deposits and Other Assets account (see Notes 6, 7 and 14). AFS Investments. AFS investments are nonderivative financial assets that are designated in this category or are not classified in any of the other categories. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions and business strategy. Subsequent to initial recognition, AFS investments are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such assets are reported as unrealized mark-tomarket gain or loss on AFS investments recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or the investment is determined to be impaired. On derecognition or impairment, the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is transferred to the consolidated statement of income. When the fair value of the AFS investments cannot be measured reliably because of lack of reliable estimation of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value of computed equity instruments, these investments are carried at cost less allowance for impairment losses. Assets under this category are classified as current assets if management intends to sell these financial assets within 12 months from balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. This category includes investments in listed and unlisted equity securities (see Note 9). Day 1 Difference. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value based on other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Company recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 difference) in the consolidated statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where unobservable data is used, the difference between the transaction price and model value is recognized in the consolidated statement of income only when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Company determines the appropriate method of recognizing the Day 1 difference amount. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each balance sheet date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs at the close of business on the balance sheet date. When current bid prices and asking prices are not available, the prices of the most recent transaction provide evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction. For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arms length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models. An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details as to how they are measured are provided in Note 25. Embedded Derivatives An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a nonderivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative. An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as derivative if all the following conditions are met: (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristic of the host contract; (b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of the derivative; and (c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not measured at FVPL. The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts when the Company first becomes party to the contract. Re-assessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required. Derecognition of Financial Assets A financial asset (or, when applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Companys continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. Impairment of Financial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are no longer included in a collective assessment of impairment. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. Loans, together with the associated allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if any, has been realized or has been transferred to the Company. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Forfeired deposits and other income - net account. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Provision for (reversal of) impairment losses account, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Assets Carried at Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. AFS Investments. In the case of equity instruments classified as AFS investments, evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in fair value of investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income - is removed from the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Financial Liabilities Initial Recognition and Measurement. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at FVPL or other liabilities at amortized costs, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition, and where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this classification at every balance sheet date. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of other liabilities at amortized costs, plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Company has no financial liabilities classified as financial liabilities at FVPL and derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. Other Financial Liabilities. This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for trading or not designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arising from operations and borrowings. Other financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortized cost, taking into account the impact of applying the EIR method of amortization (or accretion) for any related premium, discount and any directly attributable transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. This category includes loans payable, accounts payable and other liabilities and dividends payable (see Notes 15 and 16). Derecognition. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Classification of Financial Instruments Between Liability and Equity A financial instrument is classified as liability if it provides for a contractual obligation to: deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Company; or satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares.
If the Company does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability. The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue. Offsetting of Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheet. Advances to contractors Advances to contractors, which are included as part of Receivables and Advances account, are carried at cost. These represent advance payments to contractors for the construction and development of the projects. Advances to contractors are recouped upon every progress billing payment depending on the percentage of accomplishment. Condominium Units for Sale and Land and Development Condominium units for sale and land and development are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs of completion and the estimated cost to make the sale. Land and development includes properties held for future development and properties being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation. Cost incurred for the development and improvement of the properties includes the following: Land cost; Amounts paid to contractors for construction and development; and Borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees, property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs.
Advances for Project Development Advances for project development represent advances made for the purchase of land and is stated initially at cost. Cost also includes interest on borrowed funds incurred for the advances. Advances for project development are subsequently measured at cost, net of any impairment. Property Acquisitions and Business Combinations When property is acquired, through corporate acquisitions or otherwise, management considers the substance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity in determining whether the acquisition represents an acquisition of a business. When such an acquisition is not judged to be an acquisition of a business, it is not treated as a business combination. Rather, the cost to acquire the corporate entity is allocated between the identifiable assets and liabilities of the entity based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date. Accordingly, no goodwill or additional deferred tax arises. Otherwise, the acquisition is accounted for as a business combination. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in the operating expenses. When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the Companys previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Company will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in profit or loss or as change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be measured until it is finally settled within equity. Investment Property Investment property, which consists of commercial spaces in certain condominium projects, is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The residual values, useful life and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year-end. Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from inventory and owner occupied property to investment property, the cost of property for subsequent accounting is the carrying value of the investment property at the date of change in use. If owner occupied property becomes an investment property, the Company accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and equipment up to the date of change in use. Investment property is derecognized when either it has been disposed of or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period of derecognition. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and impairment in value, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such property and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met. The initial cost of property and equipment consists of its purchase price, including import duties, taxes and any directly attributable costs necessary in bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Cost also includes any related asset retirement obligation and interest incurred during the construction period on funds borrowed to finance the construction of the projects. When each major repair is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of property and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Expenditures incurred after the item has been put into operation, such as repairs, maintenance and overhaul costs, are normally recognized as expense in the period such costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have improved the condition of the asset beyond the originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as additional cost of property and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Building and improvements Machinery and office equipment Data processing equipment Office furniture and fixtures Leasehold improvements Transportation and other equipment 10 years 10 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years
The assets residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the property and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further depreciation and amortization are credited or charged to current operations. An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized. Deposits Deposits represent advances made for acquisitions of property for future development and of shares of stocks. The Company determines whether the acquisitions represents an acquisition of a business or a purchase of an asset at the time the transfer of ownership is made. This account also includes deposits made for rent and utilities which are expected to be applied at the end of the term. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses, included under Deposits and Other Assets account, are carried at cost less amortized portion. These include prepayments for taxes and licenses, rent, advertising and promotions and insurance. Investment in Associate The Companys investment in an associate, included under Deposit and Other Assets account, is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Under the equity method, investment in an associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Companys share in the net asset of the associate. The consolidated statement of income reflects the share in the result of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share in any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement comprehensive income. Profit and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the Companys net investment in the associate. An investment in associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date when it becomes an associate. On acquisition of the investment, any difference between the cost of the investment and the investors share in the net fair value of the associates identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is accounted for as follow: a. b. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment. However, amortization of that goodwill is not permitted and is therefore not included in the determination of the Companys share in the associates profits or losses. Any excess of the Companys share in the net fair value of the associates identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Companys share in the associates profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
The Company discontinues the use of equity method from the date when it ceases to have significant influence over an associate and accounts for the investment in accordance with PAS39 from that date, provided the associate does not become a subsidiary or a joint venture as defined in PAS 31. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any remaining investment at its fair value. Any difference in the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in consolidated statement of income. When the Companys interest in an investment in associate is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided only to the extent that the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate to satisfy obligations of the investee that the Company has guaranteed or otherwise committed. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the Company resumes recognizing its share of the profits if it equals the share of net losses not recognized.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company. The accounting policies of the associate conform to those used by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Interests in Joint Venture The Company has interests in jointly controlled operations (see Note 11). The Company recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the assets that it controls, the liabilities and expenses that it incurs, and its share in the income that it earns from the sale of real estate by the joint venture. Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. After such a reversal, the depreciation and amortization is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Customers Deposits Customers deposits mainly represent reservation fees and advance payments. These deposits will be recognized as revenue in the consolidated statement of income as the related obligations to the real estate buyers are fulfilled. Equity Capital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are deducted from proceeds, net of tax. Proceeds and/or fair value of considerations received in excess of par value, if any, are recognized as additional paid-in capital. Revenue and Cost Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue and cost are recognized: Real Estate Sales. The Company assesses whether it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company when the contract price is collectible. Collectability of the contract price is demonstrated by the buyers commitment to pay, which is supported by the buyers initial and continuous investments that motivates the buyer to honor its obligation. Collectability is also assessed by considering factors such as collections and credit standing of the buyer. Revenue from sales of completed real estate projects is accounted for using the full accrual method. In accordance with Philippine Interpretations Committee Q&A No. 2006-01, the percentage-of-completion method is used to recognize income from sales of projects where the Company has material obligations under the sales contract to complete the project after the property is sold, the equitable interest has been transferred to the buyer, construction is beyond preliminary stage (i.e., engineering, design work, construction contracts execution, site clearance and preparation, excavation and the building foundation are finished), and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. Under this method, revenue is recognized as the related obligations are fulfilled, measured principally on the basis of the estimated completion of a physical proportion of the contract work. Any excess of collections over the recognized receivables are included in the Customers deposits account in the consolidated balance sheet. If any of the criteria under the full accrual or percentage-of-completion method is not met, the deposit method is applied until all the conditions for recording a sale are met. Pending recognition of sale, cash received from buyers are presented under the Customers deposits account in the consolidated balance sheet. Cost of real estate sales is recognized consistent with the revenue recognition method applied. Cost of condominium units sold before the completion of the development is determined on the basis of the acquisition cost of the land plus its full development costs, which include estimated costs for future development works. The cost of inventory recognized in the consolidated statement of income upon sale is determined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property, allocated to saleable area based on relative size and takes into account the percentage of completion used for revenue recognition purposes. Expected losses on contracts are recognized immediately when it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue. Changes in the estimated cost to complete the condominium project which affects cost of real estate sold and gross profit are recognized in the year in which changes are determined. For income tax purposes, full recognition is applied when more than 25% of the selling price has been collected in the year of sale. Otherwise, the installment method is applied. Gain on Sale of Investments. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the securities to and confirmation of the sale by the broker. Interest. Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset. Dividends. Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders right to receive the payment is established. Management Fee. Revenue is recognized when services have been rendered. Other Income: Rent. Rent income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease agreements. Forfeited Deposits. Deposits for reservation fee and installment payments made by the buyers on their purchase of condominium units are generally nonrefundable. When the contracts to sell or reservation agreement between the buyer and the Company are terminated, the reservation fee and installment payments received, to the extent of Republic Act 6552, Realty Installment Buyer Protection Act, is recognized as income.
Operating and Other Expenses Operating and other expenses are recognized as incurred. Pension Expense The Company is a participant to the SM Corporate and Management Companies Multi-Group Pension Plan. The Plan is a funded, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan administered by a Board of Trustees covering all of its regular full-time employees. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. This method reflects service rendered by employees to the date of valuation and incorporates assumptions concerning employees projected salaries. Pension expense includes current service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of unrecognized past service costs, recognition of actuarial gains (losses) and effect of any curtailments or settlements. Past service cost is amortized over a period until the benefits become vested. The portion of the actuarial gains and losses is recognized when it exceeds the corridor (10% of the greater of the present value of obligation or market related value of the plan assets) at the previous balance sheet date, divided by the expected average remaining working lives of active plan members. The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at balance sheet date and any actuarial gains and losses not recognized, reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value at balance sheet date of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits availed in the form of refund from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012
39
If the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan, net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of those economic benefits. If there is no change or an increase in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Similarly, net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period exceeding any increase in the present value of the economic benefits stated above are recognized immediately if the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If there is no change or a decrease in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Operating Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Company as Lessor. Leases where the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same bases as rent income which is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Company as Lessee. Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term or based on the terms of the lease, as applicable. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Borrowing costs are capitalized when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Company. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest, debt issue cost and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Debt issue costs are deferred and amortized using the EIR method over the term of the loans. For borrowing associated with a specific asset, the actual rate on that borrowing is used. Otherwise, a weighted average cost of borrowings is used. Taxes Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred Tax. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss; and in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interest in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax (RCIT) and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward benefits of excess MCIT over RCIT and NOLCO can be utilized except: where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable profit or loss; and in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interest in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the consolidated statement of income is recognized outside the consolidated statement of income. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority. Value-added Tax (VAT). Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognized net of the amount of VAT, except: where the VAT incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the tax authority, in which case the VAT is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of VAT included.
The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included as part of Deposits and Other Assets or Accounts payable and other liabilities accounts, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. Provisions Provisions, if any, are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Earnings Per Share (EPS) EPS are computed based on the weighted average number of issued and outstanding shares of stock during the year, retroactively adjusted for stock dividends declared in the current year, if any. Diluted EPS is calculated in the same manner, adjusted for the dilutive effect of any potential common shares. As the Company has no dilutive potential common shares outstanding, basic and diluted EPS are the same. Business Segments For management purposes, the Company is organized into two operating businesses, namely, real estate development and investments in various securities. These divisions are the basis upon which the Company reports its segment information presented in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The Companys consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Future events may occur which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any change in judgments, estimates and assumptions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as they become reasonably determinable. Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments In the process of applying the Companys accounting policies, management has made certain judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition Selecting an appropriate revenue recognition method for a particular real estate sale transaction requires certain judgments based on the buyers commitment on the sale which may be ascertained through the significance of the buyers initial investment and completion of development. The buyers commitment is evaluated based on collections, credit standing and location of the property. Completion of development is determined based on engineers judgments and estimates on the physical portion of contract work done and the completion of development beyond the preliminary stage. Property Acquisition and Business Combination The Company acquires subsidiaries which own real estate. At the time of acquisition, the Company considers whether the acquisition represents an acquisition of a business or a group of assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination if it acquires an integrated set of business processes in addition to the real estate property. The consideration is made to the extent that the significant business processes are acquired and the additional services to be provided by the subsidiary. When the acquisition of subsidiary does not constitute a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition, no goodwill or deferred tax is recognized. Classification of Property The Company determines whether a property is classified as investment property or land and development as follows: Investment property comprises building spaces and improvements which are not occupied for use by, or in the operations of, the Company, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but are held primarily to earn rental income and capital appreciation. Inventory comprises property that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business in which the Company develops and intends to sell on or before completion of construction. Distinction between Land and Development, Investment Properties and Property and Equipment The Company determines whether a property qualifies as land and development. In making this judgment, the Company considers whether the property will be sold in the ordinary course of business or is part of the Companys strategic landbanking activities which will be developed for sale as condominium residential projects. For investment properties, the Company considers whether the property generates cash flows largely independent of the other assets and is held primarily to earn rentals or capital appreciation. Property and Equipment is held for use in the supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. The Company considers each property separately in making its judgment. Operating Leases - Company as Lessor The Company has entered into commercial property lease on its investment property. The Company determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the investment property, thus the lease is accounted for as an operating lease. Operating Leases - Company as Lessee The Company has entered into commercial property leases related to its office spaces. The Company has determined that the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties were not transferred to the Company. Accordingly, these are accounted for as operating leases. Contingencies The Company is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The outcome of these legal proceeding are not presently determinable. In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the eventual liability under these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a material or adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
Estimates and Assumptions The key estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Revenue and Cost Recognition The Companys revenue recognition policies require management to make use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of revenues and costs. The Companys revenue from real estate and construction contracts recognized based on the percentage of completion are measured principally on the basis of the estimated completion of a physical proportion of the contract work. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists for receivables that are individually significant, and collectively for receivables that are not individually significant. For the individually significant accounts, impairment is assessed by specific evaluation of information available for certain customers that are unable to meet their financial obligations. In these cases, management uses judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of relationship with the customer and the customers current credit status, to record specific allowance for customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable amount to expected collection. The specific allowance is re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information received affects the amounts estimated. For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit risk characteristics as industry, past-due status and term. Allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potentially uncollectible receivables.
ANNUAL REPORT 2012
41
Receivables and advances amounted to P26,539.2 million and P16,193.1 million as of December31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Provision for doubtful accounts amounted to P107.2 million and P80.6 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was no provision for doubtful accounts in 2010 (see Note 7). Net Realizable Value of Condominium Units for Sale and Land and Development The Company writes down the carrying value of condominium units held for sale and land and development cost when the net realizable value becomes lower than the carrying value due to changes in market prices or other causes. The net realizable value of properties under construction is assessed with reference to market price at the balance sheet date for similar completed property, less estimated cost to complete the construction and estimated cost to sell. The carrying value is reviewed regularly for any decline in value. The carrying values of condominium units for sale and land and development amounted to P1,857.0 million and P29,106.8 million, respectively, as of December31, 2012, and P572.0 million and P19,801.4 million, respectively, as of December31, 2011 (see Note 10). Impairment of AFS Investments In making a judgment on whether an investment is impaired, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost; and the financial health of and near-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flows. The Company treats AFS investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its costs or where there are objective evidence that impairment exists. The determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. The Company treats significant generally as 20% or more of the original cost of investment, and prolonged as period longer than 12 months. The Company evaluates other factors including normal volatility in share prices for quoted securities and the future cash flows and discounted factors for unquoted securities. If assumptions are made regarding the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the Company would suffer an additional loss representing the write down of cost to its fair value. The carrying amount of AFS investments amounted to P4,974.3 million and P4,727.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2010, the Company recognized impairment loss on certain AFS investments amounting to P32.6 million (see Note 9). There were no provisions for impairment loss in 2012 and 2011. Estimated Useful Lives of Investment Property and Property and Equipment The useful life of each of the Companys investment property and property and equipment is estimated based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use. Such estimation is based on a collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed periodically and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the asset. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful life of any investment property and property and equipment would increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease the investment property and property and equipment. There were no changes in the estimated useful lives of the Companys investment property and property and equipment in 2012 and 2011. Impairment of Investment Property and Property and Equipment The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that the investment property and property and equipment may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The carrying amount of investment property amounted to P734.7 million and P707.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 12). The carrying amount of property and equipment amounted to P458.0 million and P244.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 13). There were no provisions for impairment loss in 2012, 2011 and 2010. Assumptions on Pension Expense The present value of the pension liability depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost for pension includes discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and salary projection rate. The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates on government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. The assumption on the expected rate of return on plan assets is determined on a uniform basis, taking into consideration the future estimates of long-term investment returns. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions. While it is believed that the Companys assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may materially affect the Companys pension asset. The assumptions used are disclosed in Note 20. Pension asset amounted to P16.3 million and P10.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Unrecognized net actuarial loss amounted to P15.7 million and P15.9 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 20). Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets The Companys assessment on the recognition of deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences is based on the projected taxable income in the following periods. Based on the projection, not all temporary differences will be realized, therefore, only a portion of deferred tax assets was recognized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets amounted to P279.5 million and P126.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No deferred tax assets were recognized on temporary differences amounting to P10.3 million and P9.3 million as of December31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 21). Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgment. The significant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e., foreign exchange rates, interest rates, volatility rates). However, the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company utilized different valuation methodologies and assumptions. Any change in the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would affect profit and loss and other comprehensive income.
Where the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, these are determined using internal valuation techniques using generally accepted market valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimates are used in establishing fair values. The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial assets and liabilities are discussed in Note 25.

24. FinancialRiskManagementObjectivesandPolicies The Companys principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrow, investments held for trading, AFS investments and bank loans. The primary purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Companys operations. The Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Companys financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. The Company has no exposure to interest rate risk on its loans payable as all have fixed interest rates. Also, the Companys exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. The BOD and management review and approve the policies for managing each of these risks as summarized below. Credit Risk It is the Companys policy that customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis such that the Companys exposure to bad debts is not significant. Given the Companys diverse customer base, there are no large concentrations of credit risk. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no significant credit risk concentrations. With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, investments held for trading and AFS investments, the Companys exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Since the Company trades only with recognized third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the analysis of receivables, excluding advances to contractors, that were past due but not impaired are as follows:

Credit Quality of Financial Assets The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Company using high grade and standard grade as internal credit ratings. High Grade. This pertains to counterparty who is not expected by the Company to default in settling its obligations, thus, credit risk exposure is minimal. This normally includes large prime financial institutions, companies, government agencies and individual buyers. Credit quality was determined based on the credit standing of the counterparty.

Equity Price Risk The Companys exposure to equity price risk pertains to its investments in quoted equity shares which are either classified as investments held for trading or AFS investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Equity price risk arises from the changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks traded in the stock exchange. As a policy, management monitors the equity securities in its investment portfolio based on market expectations. Material equity investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by management. The effect on income before tax and equity (as a result of change in fair value of investments held for trading and AFS investments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011) due to a possible change in equity indices, with all other variables held constant is as follows: 2012 Change in Equity Price Investments held for trading AFS investments 2011 Change in Equity Price Investments held for trading AFS investments +9% -9% +9% -9% +7% -7% +7% -7% Effect on Income Before Income Tax P22.8 (22.8) Effect on Income Before Income Tax P20.0 (20.0) Effect on Equity After Income Tax P 300.9 (300.9) Effect on Equity After Income Tax P 415.9 (415.9)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables and Advances - Current Portion, Cash in Escrow, Short-term Loans Payable, Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities and Dividends Payable The carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of the transactions. Receivables and Advances - Noncurrent Portion The fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of instruments. The discount rates used ranged from 5.0% and 5.5% to 8.0% as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Investments Held for Trading and AFS Investments The fair values of quoted equity securities were determined by reference to published two-way quotes of brokers as of balance sheet date. Unlisted common shares of stock are unquoted and there are no other reliable sources of their fair market values and are, therefore, stated at cost. Fixed Rate Loans and Payable Arising from Acquisition of Land The estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of the future cash flows using the discount rate ranging from 1.5% to 5.0% in 2012 and 2.7% to 5.0% in 2011. Fair Value Hierarchy The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or directly Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data The following table shows the Companys financial assets carried at fair value as of December 31 based on Level 1: 2012 P579,476,898 4,908,679,905 P5,488,156,803 2011 P384,002,340 4,661,488,961 P5,045,491,301
