PART I - BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION


Item 1. Business
(1)

Business Development

History
On 18 January 1956, the Company, then known as Ramie Textiles, Inc. was incorporated to engage in
the business of manufacture and sale of all types of ramie products. On 11 February 1959 the Company
was listed in The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc.
On 10 June 1994, the SEC approved the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company
changing the name from Ramie Textiles Inc. to Gaming Interest and Franchise Technologies, Inc. and
its secondary purpose, and including a provision denying pre-emptive rights to existing stockholders for
any future issue of shares. Upon its conversion to a holding company, the Company sought to identify
investment opportunities which will yield attractive returns.
On 10 April 1995, the Companys name was changed from Gaming Interest and Franchise
Technologies, Inc. to Greater Asia Resources Corporation. Subsequently, the Company acquired two
(2) parcels of land situated in Tagaytay City with an approximate total area of 510,479 square meters
in exchange for 250,000 shares out of its unissued capital stock.
On 11 August 1998, the SEC approved the Amended AOI of the Company changing the name from
Greater Asia Resources Corporation to BW Resource Corporation (BWRC). The primary purpose of
BWRC is to acquire interests in tourism or leisure-related enterprises, projects, or ventures.
On 17 August 1999, the SEC approved an increase in authorized capital stock of the Company from
PhP450,000,000.00 divided into 450,000,000 shares to PhP2,000,000,000.00 divided into
2,000,000,000 shares with a par value of One Peso (1.00) per share. Out of the increase in authorized
capital stock, One Billion Two Hundred Million Pesos (PhP1,200,000,000.00) worth of shares were
issued to Megaworld Corporation (Megaworld) in exchange for a parcel of land with improvements with
a total area of 7,255.30 square meters located at M.H. del Pilar corner Pedro Gil St., Malate Manila and
with a fair market value of One Billion Two Hundred Million Pesos (PhP1,200,000,000.00). With the
entry of Megaworld, the SEC, on October 3, 2000, approved the change in name from BWRC to
Fairmont Holdings, Inc.
On 02 March 2001, Emerging Market Assets Limited, a global investment company based in Hong
Kong, subscribed to 350,000,000 shares of stock of the Company at par value of One Peso (Php1.00)
per share.
On 29 June 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the change of the Companys name
from Fairmont Holdings, Inc. to Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. The change of the Companys name
was ratified by the stockholders on November 11, 2005 and was approved by the SEC, on 10 May
2006. The change in name came hand in hand with a change in the Companys primary purpose or
nature of business, from a holding company to a real estate company authorized to engage in real
estate development, mass community housing, townhouses and rowhouses development, residential
subdivision and other massive horizontal land development. The change in the nature of business of
the Company was prompted by the perception that being a holding company no longer appeared to be
viable, at least in the next few years. On the same date, the Board likewise approved a PhP1 Billion
increase in the Companys authorized capital stock from PhP2,000,000,000 to PhP3,000,000,000 for
the purpose of enabling the Company to finance any acquisitions or projects that it may undertake in
the future in line with its new corporate purpose. Out of the PhP1 Billion increase, PhP250,000,000 has
been actually subscribed while PhP62,500,000 has been actually paid-up in cash by Megaworld
Corporation, an existing stockholder of the Company.

Sometime in July 2002, the Company acquired from an affiliate, Empire East Land Holdings, Inc.
(EELHI), all of the latters shareholdings in Empire East Properties, Inc. (EEPI). As a result,
consolidated financial statements were presented in the third quarter of 2002 and onwards. Prior to
such acquisition, EEPI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of EELHI engaged in the development of
socialized or low-cost housing projects. In March 2004, the Companys percentage of ownership in
EEPI was reduced from 100% to 60% upon the subscription by EELHI to additional shares of stock of
EEPI. On 8 July 2008, EEPI changed its name to Suntrust Properties, Inc. (SPI) and increased its
authorized capital stock, with EELHI subscribing to such increase. As a result, the Companys
ownership interest in SPI decreased from 60% to 20% and the Companys control over SPI ceased
and, as such, SPI was no longer a subsidiary but was considered an associate of the Company. In June
2013, the Company has sold all its remaining shares in SPI.
On 30 August 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the decrease in the number of
members of the Board of Directors from eleven to seven directors and the extension of its corporate
term for another fifty (50) years from 18 January 2006. These changes to the Articles of Incorporation
were ratified by the stockholders of the Company on 11 November 2005 and were approved by the
SEC on 10 May 2006.
In September 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of stock of First Oceanic
Property Management, Inc. (FOPMI). Consequently, FOPMI became the Companys wholly owned
subsidiary and its financial statements were consolidated with the Companys financial statements
starting 2011.
FOPMI was incorporated and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on
January 31, 1990. FOPMI is engaged primarily in the management of real estate properties consisting
of residential and office condominiums and private estates. FOPMIs services are covered by
management contracts covering the different properties it manages and these contracts assure it of
relatively fixed monthly revenues in the form of administrative/management fees. The acquisition of
FOPMI was intended to create a new revenue stream for the Company which would complement its
existing investments in real estate. FOPMI also holds 100% of the outstanding shares of stock of
CityLink Coach Services, Inc. (CityLink), which was incorporated and registered with the Philippine
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2006. CityLink is a domestic company engaged
in overland transport, carriage, moving or haulage of passengers, fares, customers and commuters as
well as freight, cargo, articles, items, parcels, commodities, goods or merchandise by means of
coaches, buses, coasters, jeeps, cars and other similar means of transport.

Business of Issuer

The Company, currently, does not have any business operations and is not offering any product or
service. However, its subsidiary FOPMI is engaged in property management of residential and office
buildings and private estates.
Thus, the Company is not prepared at this time to identify and describe what business it proposes to
do and what products, goods or services will be produced or rendered; its principal products or services
and their markets with the relative contribution to sales or revenues of each product or services or group
of related products or services; percentage of sales or revenue and net income contributed by foreign
sales; distribution methods of products or services; competition; sources and availability of raw
materials and the names of principal suppliers; and the Companys dependency on its customers. Since
the Company has not identified the industry in which it will engage in, it is likewise not in the position to
discuss any government approval required for its principal products or services or the effect of existing
or probable governmental regulations on its business.
FOPMI is engaged in property management and provides vital real estate management services for
several residential and office condominium buildings and private estates in Metro Manila. These include
basic administrative, housekeeping and security services and special services such as facilities and
equipment management, audit and technical support services, finance and account management, and

2015 ANNUAL REPORT/SUNTRUST HOME DEVELOPERS, INC.


Page 4 of 24

procurement services. FOPMIs revenue is primarily generated from management fees it charges in
connection with its property management services.
FOPMI is very competitive and is determined to perform as the best by assigning dedicated teams to
manage over property/building. On-site Property Administrator, Property Engineer and Administrative
Assistant/s are assigned to look after each individual property. A pool of experienced professionals
architects, engineers, accountants and other personnel with varying expertise provides back-up
support and services for its individual clients and customer.
CityLink is engaged in overland transport, carriage, moving or haulage of passengers, fares, customers
and commuters as well as freight, cargo, articles, items, parcels, commodities, goods or merchandise
by means of coaches, buses, coasters, jeeps, cars and other similar means of transport.
The Company or FOPMI is not dependent upon a single or a few customers. No single customer
accounts for 20% or more of FOPMIs sales.
In normal course of business, the Company entered into transactions with related parties, consisting
mainly of advances from related parties for working capital purposes and for the settlement of certain
liabilities. For more information, please see Note 17 to the Audited Financial Statements.
The Company does not hold any patent, trademark, copyright, license, franchise, concession or royalty
agreement upon which their operations are dependent.
Government Approval of Principal Products; Effect of Government Regulations on the Business
The following is a brief description of the principal laws and regulations affecting the real estate
business.
Land Title Registration
The Philippines uses the Torrens System of land registration, which provides for a certification of title
to real property which is binding on all persons. An owner of real property may register title under the
Torrens System if, after proper surveying, application, publication, service of notice and hearing, the
Regional Trial Court (RTC) or, in certain cases, the Municipal Trial Court, the Metropolitan Trial Court
or the Municipal Circuit Trial Court (collectively, MTCs) within whose jurisdiction the land is situated
confirms the owners title to the land in a judgment and issues a decree to register the property in the
owners name. Persons opposing the registration of title may appeal against the judgment of the RTC
or MTCs to the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court within 15 days from notice of the RTCs or MTCs
judgment. After the period for appeal has lapsed and within 15 days from entry of judgment, the
appropriate court will order the Administrator of National Land Titles and Deeds Registration
Administration (formerly the Land Registration Authority) to issue the corresponding decree of
registration and Original Certificate of Title (OCT). Notwithstanding the issuance of an OCT, the
decree of registration may still be contested within one year from entry of judgment on the grounds of
actual fraud.
Claims Against Registered Land
Once real property has been registered, it may no longer be acquired by prescription. A Certificate of
Title is conclusive evidence of ownership binding against all persons, including the government. The
title is not subject to collateral attack and it cannot be altered, modified or cancelled, except in a direct
proceeding in accordance with law. If registered land is transferred to another person, the Register of
Deeds may cancel the OCT and issue a Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) in the name of the new
owner, provided that certain required documents are submitted to him and all the necessary taxes are
paid. Subsequent transfers are also registered by the cancellation of the latest TCT and the issuance
of a new TCT in the name of the latest transferee.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT/SUNTRUST HOME DEVELOPERS, INC.


Page 5 of 24

Quieting of Title
Claims which cast doubt over title to real property are relatively common in the Philippines. In particular,
the boundaries to a registered title may be disputed, and where there is outstanding litigation against
an owner of real property it may be possible for the claim to be annotated on the title to the property.
Where a claim against title is unfounded, an action may be brought to remove this claim. Transferees
of real property will usually require that all outstanding claims be removed from property before they will
accept a transfer of title.
Land Title Transfers
An owner of registered land may convey, mortgage, lease, charge or otherwise deal with the same in
accordance with existing Philippine laws and may use such forms of deeds, mortgages, leases or other
voluntary instruments as are sufficient in law. However, a deed, mortgage, lease or other voluntary
instrument (except a will purporting to convey or affect a registered land) will not take effect as a
conveyance or bind the land, but will operate only as contract between the parties and as evidence of
authority to the Register of Deeds to effect registration.
The act of registration is the operative act to convey or affect the land insofar as third persons are
concerned. Accordingly, as between two transactions over the same parcel of land, a transaction that
is registered in good faith prevails over an earlier unregistered right.
A sale of property that has been registered under the Torrens system typically requires the registered
owner of the land to execute a deed of absolute sale in favor of the purchaser. Within ten (10) days
after the close of the month when such deed was executed, a documentary stamp tax shall be paid to
the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), computed at a rate of 1.5% of the purchase price or zonal value
of the land as determined by the BIR, whichever is higher. A final tax of 6% based on the gross selling
price or current fair market value of the property, whichever is higher, is imposed upon capital gains
presumed to have been realized from the sale of such real property and such tax must be paid to the
BIR within thirty (30) days after the execution of the deed of absolute sale.
No voluntary instrument can be registered by the Register of Deeds unless the owners duplicate
certificate is presented with such instrument, except in cases expressly provided for in the Property
Registration Decree upon lawful order of a court. The production of the owners duplicate certificate,
whenever any voluntary instrument is presented for registration, is conclusive authority from the
registered owner to the Register of Deeds to enter a new certificate or to make a memorandum of
registration in accordance with such instrument, and the new certificate or memorandum is binding
upon the registered owner and upon all persons claiming under him, in favor of every purchaser for
value and in good faith.
Nuisance Laws
Under the Philippine nuisance laws, property owners may be liable for acts, omissions or the condition
of property when it endangers the health or safety of others, injures or offends the senses, interferes
with free passage of any public highway, street or body of water, or hinders the use of property. If a
nuisance has been created by a previous landowner, the current landowner will be liable for such
nuisance if such landowner knowingly continues the nuisance.
Taxes
Real property taxes are payable annually on the propertys assessed value. The assessed value of
property and improvements depends on the nature of the property. Land is ordinarily assessed at 20%
to 50% of its fair market value; buildings may be assessed at 0% to 80% of their fair market value; and
machinery may be assessed at 40% to 80% of its fair market value. Currently, real property taxes vary
by location but do not exceed 2% of the assessed value in the province and 3% of the assessed value
in municipalities within Metro Manila and in cities. An additional Special Education Fund Tax of 1% of
the assessed value of the property is also levied annually by provinces and by the cities and
municipalities within Metro Manila.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT/SUNTRUST HOME DEVELOPERS, INC.


Page 6 of 24

Idle lands are taxed at 5% of the assessed value of the property. Idle lands include any land, other than
agricultural land, that is more than 1,000 square meters in area and one-half of which remains unutilized
or unimproved by the owner.
Number of employees
As of 31 December 2015, the Group has a total of five hundred twenty three (523) employees. None of
the Groups employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to collective bargaining
agreements. The Group intends to hire additional employees if the present workforce becomes
inadequate to handle operations but the exact number of additional employees will depend on the needs
of the business.
Below is the breakdown of the Groups employees as of December 31, 2015:

FOPMI maintains a non-contributory post-employment benefit plan that is being administered by a


trustee covering substantially all regular full-time employees. Actuarial valuations are made on a regular
basis to update the retirement benefit costs and the amount of contributions.
Major Business Risks
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to a variety of financial risks in relation to financial
instruments that it holds under its investment portfolio. The Companys risk management is coordinated
with its Board of Directors and focuses on actively securing the Companys short-to-medium term cash
flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. The Company does not actively engage in the
trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The Companys financial
investments are largely in the form of short-term time deposits.
The business operations of the Companys subsidiary, FOPMI, is subject to competition. Some
competitors may have substantially greater financial and other resources than FOPMI which may allow
them to undertake more aggressive marketing and to react more quickly and effectively to changes in
the markets and in consumer preferences. In addition, the entry of new competitors into FOPMIs
business segments may affect FOPMIs revenues and profit margins.
The Company is exposed to risks associated with the Philippines, including the performance of the
Philippine economy.
The Companys intended acquisition and development of real property business is highly dependent on
the state of the Philippine economy and the Philippine property market. Demand for, and prevailing
prices of, developed land and house and lot units are directly related to the economic, political and
security conditions in the Philippines. FOPMI is likewise affected by the Philippine property market as
demand for property management services are dependent on completion of real properties to be
managed and there is a limit on existing and completed properties that can be managed.
Significant competition in their respective industries could adversely affect the Companys and FOPMIs
business.
A number of more established real estate developers are already present in the business and the
Company may not be able to compete with them in seeking properties for acquisition, resources for
development and prospective clients. Competition from other real estate developers may also
adversely affect the Companys ability to sell its projects. FOPMI is likewise subject to competition for
other property management companies as well as companies which offer property management as part
of its portfolio of services.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT/SUNTRUST HOME DEVELOPERS, INC.


Page 7 of 24

The Company may be unable to acquire land for future development.


The Companys future growth and development are dependent, in part, on its ability to acquire or enter
into agreements to develop tracts of land suitable for the Companys planned real estate projects. When
the Company and its competitors attempt to locate sites for development, the Company may experience
difficulty in locating parcels of land of suitable size in locations and at prices acceptable to the Company.
In the event the Company is unable to acquire suitable land at acceptable prices with reasonable
returns, or at all, its growth prospects could be limited and its business and results of operations could
be adversely affected.
To mitigate this risk, the Company intends to invest in strategic land banking, either through joint
development agreements or property purchases.
The Companys reputation will be adversely affected if its projects are not completed on time or if the
projects do not meet its customers requirements.
Any negative effect on the Companys reputation or its brand could also affect the Companys ability to
pre-sell its housing and land development projects. This would impair the Companys ability to reduce
its capital investment requirements. The Company cannot provide any assurance that such events will
not occur in a manner that would adversely affect its results of operations or financial condition.
The Company endeavors to mitigate these risks through carefully planned projects. The Company
likewise keeps itself updated on the latest governmental regulations and ensures that it obtains all
regulatory requirements.
The Companys operations may be affected by its previous losses and current deficit
The Company has suffered losses and is currently at a deficit and this may affect its operations.
However, the acquisition of FOPMI has created a revenue stream for the Company and this gradually
decreases the Companys deficit. The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring
scheduled payments for financial liabilities as well as its cash outflows due in a day-to-day business.
The Company may not always be able to hire independent contractors who meet its requirements.
The Company intends to rely on independent contractors to provide various services, including land
clearing and infrastructure development, various construction projects and building and property fittingout works. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to find or engage an independent
contractor for any particular project or find a contractor that is willing to undertake a particular project
within the Companys budget, which could result in cost increases or project delays. There can be no
assurance that the services rendered by any of its independent contractors will always be satisfactory
or match the Companys requirements for quality. Contractors may also experience financial or other
difficulties, and shortages or increases in the price of construction materials may occur, any of which
could delay the completion or increase the cost of certain housing and land development projects, and
the Company may incur additional costs as a result thereof. Any of these factors could have a material
adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company
intends to mitigate this risk by selecting independent contractors based on the contractors experience,
its financial and construction resources, any previous relationship with Megaworld, its reputation for
quality and its track record.
Environmental laws could adversely affect the Companys business.
Real estate developers are required to follow strictly the guidelines of the DENR. There can be no
assurance that current environmental laws and regulations applicable to the Company will not increase
the costs of operating its facilities above currently projected levels or require future capital expenditures.
The introduction of inconsistent application of, or changes in, laws and regulations applicable to the
Companys business could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results
of operations. The Company has and will always comply with environmental laws.

Item 2. Properties
The Company has six condominium units at Sheraton Marina Square located in Malate, Manila with a
total area of 496.00 square meters. The Company is currently leasing out these units and generating
income from the rental thereof.
FOPMI is a lessee under operating lease covering its office space. The lease has a term of one year
and renewable upon terms and conditions as may be agreed by the parties. The future minimum rentals
payable under this operating lease as of December 31, 2014 amounted to P2.7 million and NIL in 2015.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings


The Company is not a party to, and none of its properties is the subject of, any material pending litigation
or legal proceeding.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


On 27 October 2015, the Minutes of the Annual Stockholders Meeting held last 18 November 2014 and

Dividends
The deficit of the Company and its cash position did not merit any declaration of dividends for the last
two fiscal years.
The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon the Company's earnings, cash flow and
financial condition, among other factors. The Company may declare dividends only out of its
unrestricted retained earnings. These represent the net accumulated earnings of the Company, with its
capital unimpaired, which are not appropriated for any other purpose.

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages.
The policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise
stated.

2.1

Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

(a)

Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards


The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are
adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC), from the
pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB),
and approved by the Philippine Board of Accountancy.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the measurement
bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The
measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.

(b)

Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements


The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine
Accounting Standard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Group
presents consolidated statements of comprehensive income separate from the
consolidated statements of income.
The Group presents a third consolidated statement of financial position as at the
beginning of the preceding period when it applies an accounting policy
retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items
that has a material effect on the information in the consolidated statement of
financial position at the beginning of the preceding period. The related notes to
the third consolidated statement of financial position are not required to be
disclosed.

(c)

Functional and Presentation Currency


These consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, the
functional and presentation currency of the Group, and all values represent
absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated.

-3-

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are


measured using its functional currency, the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Group operates.

2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS


(a)

Effective in 2015 that are Relevant to the Group


The Group adopted for the first time the following amendment and annual
improvements to PFRS, which are mandatorily effective for consolidated financial
statements beginning on or after July 1, 2014, for its annual reporting period
beginning January 1, 2015:
PAS 19 (Amendment)

Annual Improvements

Employee Benefits Defined Benefit


Plans Employee Contributions
Annual Improvements to
PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle) and
PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle)

Discussed below and in the succeeding pages are the relevant information about
these amended standards and interpretations.
(i)

PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits Defined Benefit Plans Employee


Contributions. The amendment clarifies that if the amount of the contributions
to defined benefit plans from employees or third parties is dependent on the
number of years of service, an entity shall attribute the contributions to
periods of service using the same attribution method (i.e., either using the
plans contribution formula or on a straight-line basis) for the gross benefit.
The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Groups
consolidated financial statements since the Groups defined benefit plan does
not require employees or third parties to contribute to the benefit plan.

(ii)

Annual Improvements to PFRS.


Annual improvements to PFRS
(2010-2012 Cycle) and PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle) made minor amendments to
a number of PFRS. Among those improvements, the following amendments
are relevant to the Group but had no material impact on the Groups
consolidated financial statements as these amendments merely clarify the
existing requirements:
Annual Improvements to PFRS (2010-2012 Cycle)

PFRS 3 (Amendment), Business Combinations. This amendment clarifies


that an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the
definition of a financial instrument is classified as a financial liability or
as equity in accordance with PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. It
also clarifies that all non-equity contingent consideration should be
measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes
in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

-4-

PFRS 8 (Amendment), Operating Segments. This amendment requires


disclosure of the judgments made by management in applying the
aggregation criteria to operating segments. This includes a description
of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic
indicators which have been assessed in determining that the aggregated
segments share similar economic characteristics. It further clarifies the
requirement to disclose for the reconciliations of segment assets to the
entitys assets if that amount is regularly provided to the chief operating
decision maker.

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38


(Amendment), Intangible Assets. The amendments clarify that when an
item of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is revalued,
the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with a
revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset.

PAS 24 (Amendment), Related Party Disclosures. The amendment clarifies


that an entity providing key management services to a reporting entity is
deemed to be a related party of the latter. It also clarifies that the
information required to be disclosed in the financial statements are the
amounts incurred by the reporting entity for key management personnel
services that are provided by a separate management entity and not the
amounts of compensation paid or payable by the management entity to its
employees or directors.

Annual Improvements to PFRS (2011-2013 Cycle)

PFRS 3 (Amendment), Business Combinations. It clarifies that PFRS 3 does


not apply to the accounting for the formation of any joint arrangement
under PFRS 11, Joint Arrangement, in the financial statements of the joint
arrangement itself.

PAS 40 (Amendment), Investment Property. The amendment clarifies the


interrelationship of PFRS 3 and PAS 40 in determining the classification
of property as an investment property or owner-occupied property, and
explicitly requires an entity to use judgment in determining whether the
acquisition of an investment property is an acquisition of an asset or a
group of asset in accordance with PAS 40 or a business combination in
accordance with PFRS 3.

PFRS 13 (Amendment), Fair Value Measurement. The amendment clarifies


that the scope of the exception for measuring the fair value of a group of
financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis (the portfolio
exception) applies to all contracts within the scope of and accounted for
in accordance with PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement, or PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they
meet the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in
PAS 32.

-5-

(b)

Effective Subsequent to 2015 but not Adopted Early


There are new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing
standards effective for annual periods subsequent to 2015 which are issued by the
FRSC. Management will adopt the relevant pronouncements in the succeeding
pages in accordance with their transitional provisions, and, unless otherwise
stated, none of these are expected to have significant impact on the Groups
consolidated financial statements.
(i)

PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure Initiative


(effective from January 1, 2016). The amendment encourages entities to apply
professional judgment in presenting and disclosing information in the
financial statements. Accordingly, it clarifies that materiality applies to the
whole financial statements and an entity shall not reduce the understandability
of the financial statements by obscuring material information with immaterial
information or by aggregating material items that have different natures or
functions. It further clarifies that, in determining the order of presenting the
notes and disclosures, an entity shall consider the understandability and
comparability of the financial statements.

(ii)

PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38


(Amendment), Intangible Assets Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation
and Amortization (effective from January 1, 2016). The amendment in PAS 16
clarifies that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated
by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate for property,
plant and equipment. In addition, amendment to PAS 38 introduces a
rebuttable presumption that an amortization method that is based on the
revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is
not appropriate, which can only be overcome in limited circumstances where
the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, or when it can be
demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of
an intangible asset are highly correlated. The amendment also provides
guidance that the expected future reductions in the selling price of an item
that was produced using the asset could indicate an expectation of
technological or commercial obsolescence of an asset, which may reflect a
reduction of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

(iii) PAS 16 (Amendment), Property, Plant and Equipment and PAS 41 (Amendment)
Agriculture Bearer Plants (effective from January 1, 2016). The amendment
defines a bearer plant as a living plant that is used in the production or supply
of agricultural produce, is expected to bear produce for more than one period
and has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce. On this
basis, bearer plant is now included within the scope of PAS 16 rather than
PAS 41, allowing such assets to be accounted for as property, plant and
equipment and to be measured after initial recognition at cost or revaluation
basis in accordance with PAS 16. The amendment further clarifies that
produce growing on bearer plants remains within the scope of PAS 41.

-6-

(iv) PFRS 10 (Amendments), Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 12, Disclosure of


Interests in Other Entities, and PAS 28 (Amendment), Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures Investment Entities Applying the Consolidation Exception (effective
January 1, 2016). This amendment addresses the concerns that have arisen in
the context of applying the consolidation exception for investment entities. It
clarifies which subsidiaries of an investment entity are consolidated in
accordance with paragraph 32 of PFRS 10 and clarifies whether the
exemption to present consolidated financial statements, set out in paragraph 4
of PFRS 10, is available to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment
entity. This amendment also permits a non-investment entity investor, when
applying the equity method of accounting for an associate or joint venture that
is an investment entity, to retain the fair value measurement applied by that
investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries.
(v)

PFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments (effective from January 1, 2018). This new
standard on financial instruments will eventually replace PAS 39 and PFRS 9
(2009, 2010 and 2013 versions). This standard contains, among others, the
following:
three principal classification categories for financial assets based on the
business model on how an entity is managing its financial instruments;
an expected loss model in determining impairment of all financial assets
that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), which
generally depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition of a financial asset; and,
a new model on hedge accounting that provides significant improvements
principally by aligning hedge accounting more closely with the risk
management activities undertaken by entities when hedging their financial
and non-financial risk exposures.
In accordance with the financial asset classification principle of PFRS 9
(2014), a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost if the
asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial
assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows that represent solely
payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal outstanding.
Moreover, a financial asset is classified and subsequently measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income if it meets the SPPI criterion and
is held in a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting
contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets. All other financial
assets are measured at FVTPL.
In addition, PFRS 9 (2014) allows entities to make an irrevocable election to
present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity instrument that is
not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial
assets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not
they are closely related, and, in most arrangements, does not require
separation from the host contract.

-7-

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements which
include amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with
bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The amendment also requires changes
in the fair value of an entitys own debt instruments caused by changes in its
own credit quality to be recognized in other comprehensive income rather
than in profit or loss.
Management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 (2014) on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group and it will conduct a
comprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to its
mandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.
(vi) PFRS 10 (Amendments), Consolidated Financial Statements, and PAS 28
(Amendment), Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Sale or Contribution of
Assets between an Investor and its Associates or Joint Venture (effective date deferred
indefinitely). The amendment to PFRS 10 requires full recognition in the
investors financial statements of gains or losses arising on the sale or
contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in PFRS 3 between
an investor and its associate or joint venture. Accordingly,
the
partial
recognition of gains or losses (i.e., to the extent of the unrelated investors
interests in an associate or joint venture) only applies to those sale of
contribution of assets that do not constitute a business. Corresponding
amendment has been made to PAS 28 to reflect these changes. In addition,
PAS 28 has been amended to clarify that when determining whether assets
that are sold or contributed constitute a business, an entity shall consider
whether the sale or contribution of those assets is part of multiple
arrangements that should be accounted for as a single transaction. In
December 2015, the IASB deferred the mandatory effective date of these
amendments (i.e., from January 1, 2016) indefinitely.
(vii) Annual Improvements to PFRS (2012-2014 Cycle) (effective from January 1,
2016). Among the improvements, the following amendments are relevant to
the Group but management does not expect these to have material impact on
the Groups financial statements:

PFRS 5 (Amendment), Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued


Operations. The amendment clarifies that when an entity reclassifies an
asset (or disposal group) directly from being held for sale to being held
for distribution (or vice-versa), the accounting guidance in paragraphs
27-29 of PFRS 5 does not apply. It also states that when an entity
determines that the asset (or disposal group) is no longer available for
immediate distribution or that the distribution is no longer highly
probable, it should cease held-for-distribution accounting and apply the
guidance paragraphs 27-29 of PFRS 5.

PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments Disclosures. The amendment


provides additional guidance to help entities identify the circumstances
under which a contract to service financial assets is considered to be a
continuing involvement in those assets for the purposes of applying the
disclosure requirements of PFRS 7. Such circumstances commonly arise
when, for example, the servicing is dependent on the amount or timing of
cash flows collected from the transferred asset or when a fixed fee is not
paid in full due to non-performance of that asset.

-8-

PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits. The amendment clarifies that the


currency and term of the high quality corporate bonds which were used to
determine the discount rate for post-employment benefit obligations shall
be made consistent with the currency and estimated term of the
post-employment benefit obligations.

2.3 Basis of Consolidation


The Parent Company obtains and exercises control through voting rights. The Groups
consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Parent Company and its
subsidiaries, after the elimination of material intercompany transactions. All
intercompany assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transaction between entities under the Group, are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Unrealized profits and losses from intercompany transactions that are recognized in
assets are also eliminated in full. Intercompany losses that indicate impairment are
recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period
as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting principles. Adjustments are made
to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Company has
control. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights to, variable
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the
Company obtains control.
The Company reassesess whether or not it controls an entity if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of controls indicated
above. Accordingly, entities are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method is applied to account for acquired subsidiaries. This requires
recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities
incurred and the equity interests issued by the Company, if any. The consideration
transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as
incurred and subsequent change in the fair value of contingent consideration is
recognized directly in profit or loss.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business
combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in
the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share
of the acquirees net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest
in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the
acquiree over the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recognized as goodwill. If the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the
net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is
recognized directly as gain in profit or loss (see Note 2.11).

-9-

2.4 Financial Assets


Financial assets are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
terms of the financial instrument. For purposes of classifying financial assets, an
instrument is considered as an equity instrument if it is non-derivative and meets the
definition of equity for the issuer in accordance with the criteria of PAS 32. All other
non-derivative financial instruments are treated as debt instruments. Financial assets
other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the
following categories: FVTPL, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and
available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different
categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which
the investments were acquired.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All
financial assets that are not classified as FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value plus
any directly attributable transaction costs.
(a)

Classification and Measurement


The Groups financial assets are currently classified as 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 arise when the Group
provides money or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the
receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than
12 months after the end of each reporting period, which are classified as
non-current assets.
The Groups financial assets categorized as loans and receivables are presented as
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables (except Advances to
employees) and Due from Related Parties in the consolidated statement of
financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand,
demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which
are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method, less impairment loss, if any.

(b)

Impairment of Financial Assets


Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company
will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original
terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the
difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred),
discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate or current effective
interest rate determined under the contract if the loan has a variable interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through the use
of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in profit or
loss.

- 10 -

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 (such as an improvement in the debtors credit rating), the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The
amount of the reversal is recognized in the profit or loss.
(c)

Items of Income and Expenses


All income and expenses, including impairment losses, relating to financial assets
that are recognized in profit or loss are presented as part of Finance Income or
Finance Cost in the consolidated statements of income.
Non-compounding interest, dividend income and other cash flows resulting from
holding financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of
how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured.

(d)

Derecognition of Financial Assets


The financial assets (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a part of a
group of financial assets) are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive
cash flows from the financial instruments expire, or when the financial assets and
all substantial risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to another
party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the
Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for
amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to
recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the
proceeds received.

2.5 Other Assets


Other current assets pertain to other resources controlled by the Group as a result of
past events. They are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is
probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the asset has a
cost or value that can be measured reliably.
Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected
to flow to the Group beyond one year after the end of the reporting period are
classified as non-current assets.

2.6 Investment Property


Investment property pertains to condominium units held for rent and for capital
appreciation. Condominium units are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of investment property comprise the acquisition cost or construction cost and
other directly attributable costs for bringing the asset to working condition for its
intended use. Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized while
expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.

- 11 -

Depreciation of condominium units is computed on a straight-line basis over its


estimated useful life of 30 years [see Note 3.2(a)]. An assets carrying amount is written
down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater
than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.16).
Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognized
in profit or loss in the year of retirement disposal.
Investment properties are derecognized upon disposal or when permanently withdrawn
from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal.

2.7 Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization and any impairment in value.
The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of
bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for
additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized while expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
the assets as follows:
Transportation equipment
Office and communication equipment
Furniture and fixtures

5 years
3-5 years
3-5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful life of five years or
the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Fully depreciated and amortized assets are retained in the accounts until they are no
longer in use and no further change for depreciation and amortization is made in
respect of these assets.
An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.16).
The residual values, estimated useful lives and method of depreciation of property and
equipment are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period.
An item of property and equipment, including the related accumulated depreciation and
any impairment losses, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss
arising from the derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in
the year the item is derecognized.

- 12 -

2.8 Intangible Assets


Intangible assets, presented as part of other Other Non-current Assets account in the
consolidated statement of financial position, pertain acquired computer software
applications used in operation and administration which are accounted for under the
cost model. The cost of the asset is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the
fair value of the other considerations given to acquire an asset at the time of its
acquisition. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated
useful life of five years as these intangible assets are considered finite. In addition,
intangible assets are subject to impairment testing as described in Note 2.16.
Amortization commences upon completion of the asset.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to
acquire and install the specific software for its intended use. Costs associated with
maintaining computer software are expensed as incurred.
When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the
difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized
in profit or loss.

2.9 Financial Liabilities


The financial liabilities of the Group include Trade and Other Payables (excluding
customers deposits and tax-related payables) and Due to Related Parties.
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
terms of the instrument. All interest-related charges are recognized as an expense under
the caption Finance Costs in the consolidated statement of income.
Trade and other payables and due to related parties are recognized initially at their fair
value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method
for maturities beyond one year, less settlement payments.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled
within one year or less after the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of
the business, if longer), or the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Otherwise,
these are presented as non-current liabilities.
Financial liabilities are derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial
position only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge,
cancellation or expiration. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial
liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or
loss.

- 13 -

2.10 Offsetting Financial Instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount,
considered as a single financial asset or financial liability, is reported in the consolidated
statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously. The right of set-off must be available at the end
of the reporting period, that is, it is not contingent on future event. It must also be
enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default, and in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy; and must be legally enforceable for both entity and all
counterparties to the financial instruments.

2.11 Business Combinations


Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the
Companys share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of
acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not
reversed.
Negative goodwill, if any, which is the excess of the Companys interest in the net fair
value of acquired identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities over cost, is
charged directly to income.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units or
groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business
combination in which the goodwill arose. The cash-generating units or groups of
cash-generating units are identified according to operating segment.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an interest in a subsidiary include the carrying
amount of goodwill relating to it.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer is required to remeasure
its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and
recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in the profit or loss or other comprehensive
income, as appropriate.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value
at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent
consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with
PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, either in profit or loss or as a
change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as
equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

2.12 Segment Reporting


Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the Groups strategic steering committee; its chief operating
decision-maker. The strategic steering committee is responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments.

- 14 -

In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Groups service
lines as disclosed in Note 4, which represent the main services provided by the Group.
Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines
requires different technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches. All
inter-segment transfers are carried out at arms length prices.
The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting under
PFRS 8 are the same as those used in its consolidated financial statements. In addition,
corporate assets which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any
operating segment are not allocated to a segment.
There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to
determine reported segment profit or loss.

2.13 Provisions and Contingencies


Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of
economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of
the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a
legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present
obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting
period, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be
required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.
When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their
present values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific
to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as
interest expense. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present
obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for
cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the consolidated financial
statements. Similarly, possible inflows of economic benefits to the Group that do not
yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are
not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. On the other hand, any
reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with
respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of
the related provision.

2.14 Revenue and Expense Recognition


Revenue comprises of income from rental and the rendering of services measured by
reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Group for
services rendered excluding value-added tax (VAT).

- 15 -

Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured; it is
probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group; and the costs incurred or to
be incurred can be measured reliably. In addition, the following specific recognition
criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
(a)

Management fees Revenue is recognized when the performance of contractually


agreed tasks have been substantially rendered.

(b)

Rental income Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of


the lease term (see Note 2.15). For tax purposes, rental income is recognized
based on the contractual terms of the lease.

(c)

Service income Revenue is recognized when the services related to technical


projects, telephone services and transport of passengers have been substantially
rendered.

(d)

Interest Income Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account
the effective yield on the asset.

Costs and expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization of goods or services
or at the date they are incurred. Finance costs are reported in profit or loss on accrual
basis.

2.15 Leases
The Group accounts for its leases as follows:
(a)

Group as Lessee
Leases which do not transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits
of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease
payments (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are recognized as
expense in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Associated costs, such as repairs and maintenance and insurance, are
expensed as incurred.

(b)

Group as Lessor
Leases which do not transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from
operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.

The Group determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the
substance of the arrangement. It makes 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.

- 16 -

2.16 Impairment of Non-financial Assets


The Groups property and equipment, investment property, intangible assets (presented
under Other Non-current Assets account) and other non-financial assets are subject to
impairment testing. All other individual assets are tested for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.
For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, assets are
tested for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.
Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets or cash-generating
units carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amounts which is the higher of its fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use. In determining value in use, management
estimates the expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines
the suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The
data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Groups latest
approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of asset enhancements.
Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect
managements assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific
risk factors.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously
recognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the assets or cash
generating units recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

2.17 Employee Benefits


The Groups post-employment benefits to employees through a defined benefit plan
and defined contribution plans, and other employee benefits are recognized as follows:
(a)

Post-employment Defined Benefit Plan


A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of
post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually
dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The
legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment benefit plan
remains with the Group. The Groups post-employment defined benefit plan
covers all regular full-time employees.
The liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position for
defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO)
at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The DBO is
calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit
method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting the
estimated future cash outflows using a discount rate derived from the interest
rates of a zero coupon government bonds as published by the Philippine Dealing
& Exchange Corporation, that are denominated in the currency in which the
benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms
of the related post-employment liability.

- 17 -

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience


adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the return on plan assets
(excluding amount included in net interest) are reflected immediately in the
consolidated statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in
other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Net interest is
calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period, taking
account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the
period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest is reported
as part of Finance Costs or Finance Income account in the consolidated statement
of income.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period of a
plan amendment and curtailment.
(b)

Post-employment Defined Contribution Plans


A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which the Group
pays fixed contributions into an independent entity (such as Social Security
System). The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further
contributions after payment of the fixed contribution. The contributions
recognized in respect of defined contribution plans are expensed as they fall due.
Liabilities and assets may be recognized if underpayment or prepayment has
occurred and are included in current liabilities or current assets as they are
normally of a short-term nature.

(c)

Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days
(including holiday entitlement) remaining at the end of the reporting period. They
are included in Trade and Other Payables account in the consolidated statement
of financial position at the undiscounted amount that the Group expects to pay as
a result of the unused entitlement.

2.18 Income Taxes


Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current
tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.
Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal
authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or
unpaid at the end of reporting period. They are calculated using the tax rates and tax
laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for
the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component
of tax expense in profit or loss.

- 18 -

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method on temporary differences at the
end of each reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with
certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed
at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to
be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply
in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, provided such tax rates
have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that
would flow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting
period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax
expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally
enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the
deferred taxes relate to the same entity and the same taxation authority.

2.19 Related Party Relationship and Transactions


Related party transactions are transfers of resources, services or obligations between the
Group and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged.
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party
or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating
decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control
with the Group; (b) associates; and, (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an
interest in the voting power of the Group that gives them significant influence over the
Group and close members of the family of any such individual.
In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the
substance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.

2.20 Equity
Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

- 19 -

Subscription receivable represents the unpaid portion of the subscribed capital stock
due from stockholders.
Revaluation reserves comprise accumulated actuarial gains and losses arising from
remeasurement of post-employment defined benefit plan, net of tax.
Deficit includes all current and prior period results of operations as disclosed in the
consolidated statement of income.

2.21 Earnings Per Share


Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net profit by the weighted
average number of common shares subscribed and issued during the year adjusted
retroactively for any stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split declared in the
current year, if any.
Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding to assume conversion of dilutive potential shares. Currently, the Group
does not have dilutive potential shares outstanding; thus, dilutive EPS is the same to the
basic EPS.

2.22 Events After the End of the Reporting Period


Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Groups
consolidated financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is
reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not
adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the consolidated financial
statements.
3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES


The preparation of the Groups consolidated financial statements in accordance with
PFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Judgments and
estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.

3.1

Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies

In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies, management has made the
following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
(a)

Distinction Between Investment Properties and Owner-managed Properties


The Group determines whether a property qualifies as investment property. In
making its judgment, the entity considers whether the property generates cash
flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. Owner-managed
properties generate cash flows that are attributable not only to property but also
to other assets used in the production or supply process.

- 20 -

(b)

Distinction Between Operating and Finance Leases


The Group has entered into various lease agreements either as a lessor or as
lessee. Critical judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease
agreement as either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or
retention of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered
by the agreements. Failure to make the right judgment will result in either
overstatement or understatement of assets and liabilities.
Management has determined that the Groups current lease agreements are
operating leases.

(c)

Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies


Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and
contingencies. Policies on recognition of provisions and contingencies are
discussed in Note 2.13 and disclosures on relevant provisions and contingencies
are presented in Note 17.

3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty


The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next reporting period:
(a)

Estimating Useful Lives of Condominium Units (presented as Investment Property), Property


and Equipment and Computer Software
The Group estimates the useful lives of condominium units, property and
equipment and computer software based on the period over which the assets are
expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of these assets are
reviewed periodically and are 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 assets.
The carrying amounts of computer software (under other non-current asset),
property and equipment and investment property are analyzed in Notes 7, 8 and
9, respectively. Based on managements assessment as at December 31, 2015 and
2014, there are no changes in the estimated useful lives of those assets during
those years. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates
brought about by changes in factors mentioned above.

(b)

Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables


Adequate allowance is provided for specific and groups of accounts, where an
objective evidence of impairment exists. The Group evaluates these accounts
based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the
length of the Groups relationship with the customers, customers credit status,
average age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience. The
methodology and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows are reviewed
regularly by the Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates and
actual loss experience.

- 21 The carrying value of trade and other receivables and the analysis of allowance for
impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 6.

(c)

Determining Realizable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets


The Group reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period and
reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax
assets to be utilized. Based on managements assessment, the Group has assessed
that the deferred tax assets recognized as at December 31, 2015 and 2014 will be
fully utilized in the coming years. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets as of
those dates is disclosed in Note 13.

(d)

Impairment of Non-financial Assets


In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each
asset or a cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an
interest rate to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Estimation
uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the
determination of a suitable discount rate (see Note 2.16). Though management
believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the
consolidated financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant
changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable
values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations.
No impairment losses were recognized on the Groups non-financial assets in
2015, 2014 and 2013.

(e)

Fair Value Measurement of Investment Property


The Groups condominium units, classified as Investment Property, are carried at
cost at the end of the reporting period. The fair value disclosed in Note 9 is
determined by the Group using the discounted cash flows valuation technique
since the information on current or recent prices of investment property is not
available. The Group uses assumptions that are mainly based on market
conditions existing at each reporting period, such as: the receipt of contractual
rentals; expected future market rentals; void periods; maintenance requirements;
and appropriate discount rates. These valuations are regularly compared to actual
market yield data and actual transactions by the Group and those reported by the
market. The expected future market rentals are determined on the basis of
current market rentals for similar properties in the same location and condition.

(f)

Valuation of Post-employment Defined Benefit Obligation


The determination of the Groups obligation and cost of post-employment
defined benefit is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by
actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others,
discount rates and salary increase rate. A significant change in any of these
actuarial assumptions may generally affect the recognized expense, other
comprehensive income or loss and the carrying amount of the post-employment
benefit obligation in the next reporting period.

- 22 -

The amounts of retirement benefit obligation and expense analysis of the


movements in the estimated present value of post-employment benefit obligation
are presented in Note 12.2.
(g)

Business Combination
On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business and the
consideration paid for them are included in the consolidated financial statements
at their fair values. In measuring fair value, management uses estimates of future
cash flows and discount rates. Any subsequent change in these estimates would
affect the amount of goodwill, if any, if the change qualifies as a measurement
period adjustment. Any other change would be recognized in profit or loss in the
subsequent period.

4.

SEGMENT REPORTING

4.1

Business Segments

The Groups operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to
the services provided, with each segment represent unit that offers different services
and serves different markets. For management purposes, the Group is organized into
two major business segments, namely property management and rental and other
activities. These are also the basis of the Group in reporting to its strategic steering
committee for its strategic decision-making activities.
(a)

Property Management is the operation, control of (usually on behalf of an


owner), and oversight of commercial, industrial or residential real estate as used in
its most broad terms. Management indicates a need to be cared for, monitored
and accountability given for its usable life and condition.

(b)

Rental and Others consists of rental from leasing activity of Parent Company
and transportation services of Citylink.

4.2 Segment Assets and Liabilities


Segment assets include all operating assets used by a segment and consist principally of
operating cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net of allowances and due from related
parties. Segment liabilities include all operating liabilities and consist principally of trade
and other payables, due to related parties and retirement benefit obligation.

Trade receivables are usually due within 30 to 60 days and do not bear any interest. All
trade receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. However, the Group does not
identify specific concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade and other receivables,
as the amounts recognized resemble a large number of receivables from various
customers.
Advances to employees pertain to unliquidated advances to employees for
business-related expenditures subject to liquidation.
Car and housing loans receivables pertain to interest-bearing loans granted to
employees which have interest rates ranging from 6% to 10% per annum and are
payable through salary deduction for a period of 10 years from the date the loan was
extended. Related interest income from such transactions is shown as part of Finance
Income in the consolidated statements of income.

- 25 -

All of the Groups trade and other receivables have been reviewed for indicators of
impairment. Certain receivables were found to be impaired; hence, adequate amounts
of allowance for impairment have been recognized. In 2015, the Group has written off
certain receivables with carrying amount of P35.5 million as management deemed that
they are no longer collectible. Of the receivables written off in 2015, P13.6 million has
previously been provided with allowance. In 2014, additional impairment loss of
P7.0 million was recognized. The recognized impairment loss in both years is presented
as part of Finance Costs in the consolidated statements of income.

12.2 Post-employment Benefit Obligation


The Parent Company has not yet established a formal post-employment benefit plan
and does not accrue post-employment benefits for its two employees due to
insignificance of the amount. However, the Parent Companys subsidiary, FOPMI,
maintains an unfunded non-contributory post-employment benefit plan covering all its
regular full-time employees.

Explanation of Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements


Actuarial valuations are made annually to update the retirement benefit costs and
the amount of contributions. All amounts presented below are based on the
actuarial valuation report obtained from an independent actuary in 2015 and 2014.
The movements in present value of the retirement benefit obligation recognized

The interest costs is included in Finance Costs under Cost and Expenses section in the
consolidated statements of income.
Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income were included within items that
will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.
In determining the amounts of the defined benefit post-employment obligation, the
following significant actuarial assumptions were used:

Discount rates
Expected rate of salary increases

2015

2014

5.40%
10.00%

4.69%
10.00%

Assumptions regarding future mortality are based on published statistics and mortality
tables. The average expected remaining working life of employees retiring at 60 is
22 years for both male and female. These assumptions were developed by management
with the assistance of an independent actuary. Discount factors are determined close to
the end of each reporting period by reference to the interest rates of a zero coupon
government bonds with terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the
post-employment obligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarial
benchmarks and managements historical experience.

- 31 -

(b)

Risks Associated with the Retirement Plan


The plan exposes the Group to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, longevity
risk and salary risk.
(i)

Interest Rate Risks

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount
rate determined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, a
decrease in the interest rate of a reference government bonds will increase the
plan obligation.
(ii) Longevity and Salary Risks
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to
the best estimate of the mortality of the plan participants both during and after
their employment, and to their future salaries. Consequently, increases in the life
expectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an increase in the plan
obligation.
(c)

Other Information
The information on the sensitivity analysis for certain significant actuarial
assumptions are described below and in the succeeding page.
(i)

Sensitivity Analysis

The following table summarizes the effects of changes in the significant actuarial
assumptions used in the determination of the defined benefit obligation:

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding


all other assumptions constant. This analysis may not be representative of the
actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in
assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions
may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the
present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the
projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same
as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation recognized in the
consolidated statements of financial position.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis
did not change compared to the previous years.

- 32 -

(ii) Funding Arrangements and Expected Contributions


The Group has no formal retirement benefit plan as of December 31, 2015;
hence, it does not expect to make any contributions in 2016.
The maturity profile of undiscounted expected benefit payments for the next
10 years as of December 31 are as follows:

More than one year to five years


More than five years to ten years

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the
reporting period is 20 years.

The Group is subject to MCIT which is computed at 2% of gross income, as defined


under the tax regulations or RCIT, whichever is higher. The Parent Company reported
MCIT in 2014 and 2013 while no MCIT or RCIT was reported in 2015 as the Parent
Company is in a gross loss position. Citylink reported MCIT in 2015 and 2014, since
they are in a taxable loss position in those years, while it reported RCIT in 2013.
FOPMI, on the other hand, did not report any MCIT in 2015, 2014 and 2013 as the
RCIT is higher than MCIT in such years.

income amounted to P7.9 million, P3.2 million and P1.3 million, respectively
(see Note 11).

17.2 Operating Lease Commitment Group as a Lessor


The Group is a lessor under several operating leases covering its condominium units.
The lease agreements have terms ranging from one month to one year and renewable
upon the terms and conditions as may be agreed by the parties. The future minimum
rentals receivable within one year under these operating leases as of December 31, 2015
and 2014 amounted to P1.1 million and P0.4 million, respectively. Total rental income

Also, the Group is a lessor under various service transport lease agreements covering its
transportation equipment. The lease agreements are short-term in nature but can be
renewed upon mutual agreements by the parties and; accordingly, no future minimum
rental receivables are disclosed. Total rental from these lease agreements amounted to
P8.3 million, P7.4 million and P8.1 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is

17.3 Others
The Group has other commitments and contingencies that may arise in the normal
course of the Groups operations which have not been reflected in the consolidated
financial statements. Management is of the opinion that losses, if any, from these other
commitments will not have material effects on the Groups consolidated financial
statements.
18.

RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES


The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks in relation to financial instruments.
The Groups risk management is coordinated with the BOD and focuses on actively
securing the Groups short- to medium-term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to
financial markets.

- 39 -

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative
purposes nor does it write options. The relevant financial risks to which the Group is
exposed to are described below and in the succeeding pages.

18.1 Interest Rate Risk


As at December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest
rates through its cash and cash equivalents which are subject to variable interest rates
(see Note 5).
The following describes the sensitivity of the profit before tax in 2015 and 2014 to a
reasonably possible change in interest rates of +/- 0.29% and +/- 0.46%, respectively,
with effect from the beginning of the year. This percentage has been determined based
on the average market volatility in interest rate in the previous 12 months, estimated at
95% level of confidence.
The sensitivity analysis is based on the Groups financial instruments held at
December 31, 2015 and 2014 with effect estimated from the beginning of the year. All
other variables held constant, if interest rate increased by 0.29% and 0.46% in 2015 and
2014, the profit before tax in 2015 and 2014 would have increased by P0.9 million and
P1.1 million, respectively. Conversely, if the interest rate decreased by same percentage,
profit before tax in 2015 and 2014 would have been lowered by the same amount.

18.2 Credit Risk


Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to discharge an obligation to the
Group. The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of
the financial assets as shown on the consolidated statements of financial position or in
the detailed analysis provided in the notes to consolidated financial statements. As of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group has the following financial assets:

None of the Groups financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit
enhancements except for cash and cash equivalents as described below.
(a)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the
counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Cash
in bank, which are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
a maximum coverage of P500,000 per depositor per banking unit as provided for
under Republic Act 9302, Charter of Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation, are still
subject to credit risk.

- 40 -

(b)

Trade and Other Receivables


In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to any
significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of
counterparties having similar characteristics. Based on historical default rates, the
balance of receivables, which are not impaired relates to reputable companies that
have a good track record with the Group.
Some of the unimpaired trade receivables are past due as at the end of the
reporting period. No other financial assets are past due at the end of the
reporting period. Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired as of
December 31, 2015 and 2014 are shown below.

Due from Related Parties


In respect of due from related parties, the Group is not exposed to any significant
credit risk exposure because management considers the credit quality of
receivables from related parties to be good.

18.3 Liquidity Risk


The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing
payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in a day-to-day
business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and
week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term
liquidity needs for a six months and one year period are identified monthly.
The Group maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods.
Excess cash are invested in time deposits. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is
additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
As at December 31, 2015, the Groups consolidated financial liabilities have contractual
maturities which are presented below.

19.2 Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


The Group does not have relevant offsetting arrangements, except as disclosed in
Notes 14.2 and 14.3. Currently, all other financial assets and financial liabilities are
settled on a gross basis; however, each party to the financial instrument (particularly
related parties) will have the option to settle all such amounts on a net basis in the event
of default of the other party through approval by both parties BOD and shareholders.
As such, the Groups outstanding receivables from and payables to the same related
parties can be potentially offset to the extent of their corresponding outstanding
balances.
20.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURES

20.1 Fair Value Hierarchy


In accordance with PFRS 13, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and
non-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring
basis and those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value is
disclosed in accordance with other relevant PFRS, are categorized into three levels
based on the significance of inputs used to measure the fair value. The fair value
hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that an entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from
prices); and,

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).

The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the
lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.
For purposes of determining the market value at Level 1, a market is regarded as active
if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker,
industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual
and regularly occurring market transactions on an arms length basis.

20.2 Financial Instruments Measured at Amortized Cost for which Fair Value is
Disclosed
The Groups financial assets which are not measured at fair value in the consolidated
statements of financial position but for which fair value is disclosed include
cash and cash equivalents, which are categorized as Level 1, and trade and other
receivables and due from related parties, which are categorized as Level 3. Financial
liabilities which are not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed
pertain to trade and other payables and due to related parties which are categorized
under Level 3.

- 43 -

For financial assets with fair values included in Level 1, management considers that the
carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to
their short-term duration.
The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in Level 3, which
are not traded in an active market, are determined based on the expected cash flows of
the underlying net asset or liability based on the instrument where the significant inputs
required to determine the fair value of such instruments are not based on observable
market data.

20.3 Fair Value Measurement for Investment Property


Investment property comprising condominium units has fair value amounted to
P29.2 million and P32.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The
fair value of investment property is determined by calculating the present value of the
cash inflows anticipated until the end of the life of the investment property using a
discount rate of 10% both in 2015 and 2014.
21.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES


The Groups capital management objectives are to:

Ensure the Groups ability to continue as a going concern; and,

Provide an adequate return to shareholders in the future.

The Group also monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as
presented on the consolidated statements of financial position. It sets the amount of
capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e., equity and financial liabilities.
The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of
changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

company belongs to? Please explain.

the qualifications and none of the disqualifications provided by law.

was held on 27 October 2015.

State, if any, questions and answers during the Annual/Special Stockholders Meeting.
Below is a summary of the questions asked and answers given during the open forum.
Alfred Reiterrer: Good morning Mr. Chairman, may I have the floor? My name is Alfred Reiterrer, I am
the Treasurer of the Greenbelt Chancellor Condominium Association. We are one of the properties
which are managed by FOPM and we have some complaints. We became shareholder of Suntrust to
raise our complaints because in previous meetings it was never heard. Im speaking these two halves
because I am also representing Foreign Investors Advisory Group in Hongkong which invest money in
the stock market. As a shareholder we believe a company should grow revenue but the company should
also provide the best job quality to satisfied customers. Mr. Pineda knows me, we had meeting already.
FOPM cost damages of approximately Three Million Pesos to our Association which we have claimed
and until now we did not receive any answer to our complaints and I want to bring it to the attention
of the Board that we would appreciate if the problems could be solved because we believe good business
is only if the client and the company is happy. If the client is not happy it will not be good long term
business. So I would really hope that we can address these concerns in the next few months before the
end of the year so that we do not have to claim any more money from FOPM and the problems are
settled.
Mr. Masi : Thank you very much. I believe the intention of your question is to help us manage the
business better, so we appreciate it. Perhaps Mr. Pineda who handles FOPM could give some light into
your question.
Mr. Pineda: Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Good morning Mr. Reiterrer. The case you are saying,
we are trying to address your problem and so many meetings occurred and now that you brought it
with us, to the Board, maybe we can push First Oceanic to concentrate on the problem about
Chancellors issue. Thank you very much.
Mr. Masi: Thank you very much. I guess there are no other questions so.
Steven Solliven: Mr. Chairman my name is Steven Solliven. First of all I would like to congratulate the
company for having a good working capital ratio to 2:1 but I would like to know since we are also a
condominium unit lessee, I would like to know the occupancy rate. Thank you.
Mr. Masi: Would you be willing to answer it Mr. Pineda?
Mr. Pineda: We dont have the actual occupancy report as of this moment, however, in general, the
average occupancy of all Megaworld properties, Suntrust (Properties) and Empire East is not less than
85%, average. So if you will ask what particular property are you asking, we will answer it once we have
the data and just give us your cellphone or contact information.
Steven Solliven: I am not asking for a particular property.
Mr. Pineda: Okay Sir. It is relatively high. The investment you invested in has a good occupancy
percentage. The individual occupancy per property can be asked to our building administrator.
Mr. Masi: Okay. Anyway, just to clarify a bit also, First Oceanic actually is engaged in property
management not so much as lessor. We are giving the service for a fee, so we are not actually the lessor
37

SUN-SEC FORM-ACGR 2015

of these properties. That is why categorically, we cannot answer your question now about the
percentage of the occupancy.
