Notes to Financial Statements
As at and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In the notes, all amounts are shown in Philippine Peso unless otherwise stated)
Note 1 - General information
QBE Seaboard Insurance Philippines, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Philippines and
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 15, 1999, to carry on the
business of insurance, other than life insurance. The Company received its Certificate of Authority from the
Insurance Commission of the Philippines (Insurance Commission) in the same year. It commenced
operations on January 2, 2000.
As at January 1, 2013, the Company is 58.996% owned by QBE Asia Pacific Holdings Limited (formerly QBE
International Holdings Limited), a holding company incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong and
40.996% owned by Alsons Corporation and Unigrowth Resources Development Corporation, domestic
corporations.
On May 21, 2013, QBE Asia Pacific Holdings Limited purchased the shares owned by Alsons Corporation.
Thus, ownership of QBE Asia Pacific Holdings Limited increased from 58.996% to 83.99%.
On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Seaboard-Eastern Insurance Co., Inc.
(“SEI”), a domestic corporation, where the Company obtained an exclusive right to renew the expiring SEI
insurance policies. As part of the agreement, SEI will cease to renew and underwrite new insurance policies
and will run-off its business. On the same date, the Company issued 116,667 new shares, out of the
Company’s unissued shares, to SEI which provided the latter 24.99% ownership in the Company for a total
consideration of P188.2 million. This transaction resulted into the change in the shareholdings of QBE
International Holdings Limited from 83.99% to 59.50% and Unigrowth Resources Development
Corporation from 15.99% to 15.49%.
On December 23, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from QBE Insurance (Philippines), Inc. to
QBE Seaboard Insurance Philippines, Inc.
The Company is 59.499% owned by QBE Asia Pacific Holdings Limited, 24.999% owned by Seaboard
Eastern Insurance Co., Inc. and 15.498% owned by Unigrowth Resources Development Corporation as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company’s ultimate parent is QBE Insurance Group Ltd., a company incorporated and domiciled in
Australia.
The Company’s registered office, which is also its principal place of business, is located at the
16th Floor, Equitable Bank Tower, 8751 Paseo de Roxas, Makati City.
The financial statements have been approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of
Directors on February 5, 2015. There are no material events that occurred subsequent to February 5, 2015
until February 9, 2015.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to both years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial
Reporting Standards (PFRS). The term PFRS in general includes all applicable PFRS, Philippine
Accounting Standards (PAS), and interpretations of the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC),
Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (IFRIC) which have been approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) and
adopted by the SEC.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the
Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company
The following standards have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2014:

Amendment to PAS 32, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’ on offsetting financial assets and
financial liabilities. This amendment clarifies that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future
event. It must also be legally enforceable for all counterparties in the normal course of business, as well
as in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. The amendment also considers settlement
mechanisms. The amendment did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Amendment to PAS 36, ‘Impairment of assets’, on the recoverable amount disclosures for nonfinancial assets. This amendment removed certain disclosures of the recoverable amount of cash
generating units which had been included in PAS 36 by the issue of PFRS 13. The amendment did not
have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Other standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning on
January 1, 2014 are not considered relevant and significant to the Company.
(2)
(b) New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods
beginning after January 1, 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The
relevant standards applicable to the Company are:

PFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial
assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of PFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the
guidance in PAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. PFRS 9
retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement
categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) and
fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required
to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present
changes in fair value in OCI without recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that
replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in PAS 39. For financial liabilities, there were no
changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in
other comprehensive income for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. PFRS 9 relaxes
the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires
an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to
be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous
documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under PAS 39. The standard is
effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is in the process of assessing PFRS 9’s full impact at reporting date but initial assessment is the
standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

PFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’, deals with revenue recognition and establishes
principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to
direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces PAS 18 ‘Revenue’
and PAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and earlier application is permitted. The Company is in the
process of assessing the full impact of PFRS 15 at reporting date but the initial assessment is the standard
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
There are no other standards, amendments or interpretations that are effective beginning on or after
January 1, 2014 that are expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
2.2
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(3)
2.3 Financial assets
2.3.1 Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: fair value through profit or loss, loans
and receivables, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for
which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at
initial recognition. The Company has no financial assets under fair value through profit or loss category
during and as at reporting periods.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market. The Company’s loans and receivables include cash in banks and short-term
investments included as part of cash and cash equivalents and receivables arising from insurance and
reinsurance contracts and accrued interest and other receivables included as part of loans and receivables
(Notes 6 and 8).
Trade receivables with average credit term of 90 days are measured at the original invoice amount (as the
effect of discounting is immaterial), less any provision for impairment.
Held-to-maturity securities
Held-to-maturity securities are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturities that the Company’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
If the Company were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire
category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. The Company’s financial assets under
held-to-maturity securities are presented as part of Investments in the statement of financial position
(Note 7).
Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale securities are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified
in any of the other categories. The Company’s financial assets under available-for-sale securities category
which mainly include proprietary club shares are presented as part of Investments in the Company’s
statement of financial position (Note 7).
2.3.2 Recognition and measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are recognized in the statement of financial position, when, and only when, the Company
becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument.
Loans and receivables are measured initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less
provision for impairment. Held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are initially recognized at fair
value plus transaction costs. Held-to-maturity financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets classified as available-for-sale are recognized in equity as other
comprehensive income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the statement
of income as part of other income when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established.
(4)
The determination of fair value of quoted investments is based on current bid prices. If the market for a
financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Company establishes fair value by using
valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. These include the use of recent arm’s length
transactions, and reference to other instrument that are substantially the same.
2.3.3 Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a
group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and
impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has
an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing
significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that
they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions
that correlate with defaults.
(a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost
For financial assets carried at amortized cost such as loans and receivables and held to maturity securities, the
Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for receivables that are
individually significant, and collectively for receivables that are not individually significant using the criteria
above. If the Company determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
receivable, whether significant of not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk
characteristics and collectively assesses those for impairment. Receivables that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective
assessment of impairment.
For purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar
credit risk characteristics (i.e., on the basis of the Company’s credit rating process that considers asset type,
industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors).
Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being
indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets
being evaluated.
The amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value
of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the
financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount
of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest
rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined
under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Company may measure impairment on the basis of an
instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
(5)
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of 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
debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in profit or
loss. Reversals of previously recorded impairment provision are based on the result of management’s
update assessment, considering the available facts and changes in circumstances, including but not limited
to results of recent discussions and arrangements entered into with customers as to the recoverability of
receivables at the end of the reporting period. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off are
credited against operating expenses in profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets carried at fair value
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
For debt securities, if any such evidence exists the cumulative loss – measured as difference between the
acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent
period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be
objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the
impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income.
For equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of security below its cost is
considered an indicator that an asset is impaired. Generally, the Company treats ‘significant’ as 20% or
more and ‘prolonged’ as greater than 12 months. If any such evidence exists the cumulative loss – measured
as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that
financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in profit or
loss. Impairment losses recognized on equity instruments are not reversed through the statement of
income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized in other comprehensive income.
2.4 Financial liabilities
2.4.1 Classification
The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: (a) at fair value through profit or
loss (including financial liabilities held for trading and those that are designated at fair value) and (b) at
amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial liabilities were incurred.
Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
This category comprises two sub-categories: financial liabilities classified as held for trading, and financial
liabilities designated by the Company as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
(6)
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing it in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that
are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking.
Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging
instruments. Financial liabilities held for trading also include obligations to deliver financial assets
borrowed by a short seller.
The Company does not have financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as at December 31, 2014
and 2013.
(ii) Other liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and are
measured at amortized cost.
The Company’s due to reinsurers and ceding companies, due to related companies and accounts payable
and accrued expenses (excluding taxes payable and defined benefit plan liability) are classified under this
category.
2.4.2aRecognition and measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially recognized on trade date and measured at fair value plus transaction costs
for all financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss. These financial liabilities are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.5 Derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets are derecognized when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired
or where the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial
liabilities are derecognized when they have been redeemed or otherwise extinguished.
2.6 Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must
not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the
event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
(7)
2.7 Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent costs of repairs and maintenance are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of an asset less its residual
value over its estimated useful life, as follows:
Transportation equipment
Computer equipment
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 years
3 to 5 years
2 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the useful lives of the assets or the lease term, whichever
is shorter.
Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset or the date of the next
major renovation, whichever is sooner.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting
date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s
fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
An item of property and equipment 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 on 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 period the item is derecognized.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with carrying amount and are
included in the statement of income.
2.8 Input value added tax (“VAT”)
Input VAT is carried at face amount or at nominal amount less allowance for impairment loss, if any.
The Company reviews its excess input Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) at each reporting date to assess whether an
allowance for losses should be recognized in profit or loss. The level of this allowance is evaluated by
management on the bases of factors that affect the recoverability of the balance. These factors include, but
are not limited to, age of balances, refundability of the excess input VAT and procedural due process.
Input VAT is derecognized when there is a legally enforceable right to apply the recognized amounts against
the related liability within the period prescribed by the relevant tax laws.
(8)
2.9 Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance
of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
•
•
•
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2); and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs) (Level 3).
The appropriate level is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the
reporting date.
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 arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets
held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter
derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of
observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all
significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the asset or liability is included in
Level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the asset or liability
is included in Level 3.
The Company has no financial instruments that fall under the Level 3 category as at December 31, 2014 and
2013.
The Company’s available-for sale securities fall under Level 2. Specific valuation techniques used to value
financial instruments under level 2 include quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
The fair value of a non-financial asset is measured based on its highest and best use. The asset’s current use
is presumed to be its highest and best use.
(9)
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and applies the
technique consistently. Commonly used valuation techniques are as follows:
• Market approach - A valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by
market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets
and liabilities, such as a business.
• Income approach - Valuation techniques that convert future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and
expenses) to a single current (i.e., discounted) amount. The fair value measurement is determined on the
basis of the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.
• Cost approach - A valuation technique that reflects the amount that would be required currently to
replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost).
The fair value of financial and non-financial liabilities takes into account non-performance risk, which is the
risk that the entity will not fulfill an obligation.
2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets
Other non-financial assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization, such as property and
equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell or value in use. For purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows (cash-generating units). Impairment loss or reversal is recognized in the statement of income.
2.11 Share capital; Share premium; Contributed surplus
Common shares are classified as equity.
Share premium includes consideration received in excess of par value on the issuance of share capital.
Contributed surplus represents contributions by shareholders to the Company in compliance with the
requirements of the Insurance Code at the time of formation of the Company.
2.12 Insurance contracts
Recognition and measurement
Short-term insurance contracts
These contracts include casualty, property, marine and motor insurance contracts.
For all these contracts, premiums written for direct and assumed reinsurance business are recognized as
revenue (earned premiums) proportionally over the period of coverage using the 365th method. The portion
of premium received on in-force policies that relates to unexpired risks at reporting date is reported as
reserve for unearned premiums. Premiums are shown before deduction of commission.
(10)
Costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts
such as commissions (net of reinsurance commissions) are deferred and charged to expense in proportion
to premium revenue recognized. Unamortized acquisition costs are shown in statement of financial position
as deferred acquisition costs.
Claims and loss adjustment expenses are charged to income as incurred based on the estimated liability for
compensation owed to contract holders or third parties damaged by the contract holders. They include
direct and indirect claims settlement costs and arise from events that have occurred up to reporting date
even if they have not yet been reported to the Company. The Company does not discount its liabilities for
unpaid claims. Liabilities for unreported and unpaid claims are estimated using the input of assessments for
individual cases reported to the Company and statistical analyses for the claims incurred but not reported
(IBNR), and to estimate the expected ultimate cost of more complex claims that may be affected by external
factors (such as court decisions).
Reinsurance
The Company cedes reinsurance in the normal course of business. Arrangement is made in both ways either
in a facultative or treaty agreement. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers that relate to unpaid losses and
claims and loss adjustment expenses are reported as reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses in the
statement of financial position. Reinsurance payables are reported as due to reinsurers. Reinsurance
commissions are deferred and deducted from the applicable deferred acquisition cost and amortized over
the premium revenue recognition period.
Receivables and payables related to insurance contracts
Receivables and payables are recognized when the right to receive payment is established or when the
obligation becomes due. These include amounts due to and from agents, brokers and insurance contract
holders.
If there is objective evidence that the insurance receivable is impaired, the Company reduces the carrying
amount of the insurance receivable accordingly and recognizes that impairment loss in profit or loss. The
Company gathers the objective evidence that an insurance receivable is impaired using the same process
adopted for loans and receivables. The impairment loss is also calculated under the same method used for
these financial assets. These processes are described in Note 2.3.3.
Salvage and subrogation reimbursements
Some insurance contracts permit the Company to sell (usually damaged) property acquired in settling a
claim (i.e., salvage). The Company may also have the right to pursue third parties for payment of some or all
costs (i.e., subrogation).
Subrogation reimbursements are also considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance
liability for claims and are recognized in other assets when the liability is settled. The allowance is the
assessment of the amount that can be recovered from the action against the liable third party.
Liability adequacy test
The Company carries out liability adequacy testing as required by PFRS 4 to ensure the adequacy of the
insurance contract liabilities.
(11)
The insurance liabilities are valued in a realistic and consistent manner based on historical experience. It is
ultimately the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management to place an
appropriate valuation on the insurer’s liabilities, after considering actuarial and other advice.
Under the terms of a Management Agreement with a related company, the Board of Directors receives
written advice on the valuation of the Company’s insurance liabilities from a suitably qualified and
experienced Actuary (the “Actuary”).
Insurance liabilities include both the Company’s reserve for unearned premiums and reserve for
outstanding losses.
Reserve for outstanding losses relate to all claims incurred at reporting date, whether or not they have been
reported to the Company. The provision for outstanding claims is determined after consultation with the
Actuary. The outstanding claims assessment takes into account the statistical analysis of past claims,
allowance for IBNR, recoveries and future interest and inflation factors.
The value of the insurance liabilities (both for reserve for unearned premiums and reserve for outstanding
losses) reported by the Company will be the aggregate of the liabilities determined for each class of
business.
2.13 Employee benefits
Retirement plan
The Company has a funded, non-contributory defined benefit plan covering all of its employees. A defined
benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on
retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.
The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit retirement plan is
the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of
plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the
projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are
denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity
approximating the terms of the related retirement obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in
such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(12)
Share-based compensation
Equity-settled
The Company has an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan which is granted by the ultimate
parent. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the instruments is
recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by
reference to the fair value of the instruments granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting
conditions. The fair value of each instrument is expensed evenly over the period between grant and vesting
dates. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of instruments that
are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of
options that are expected to become exercisable.
Cash-settled
The Company measures the services acquired and the liability incurred at the fair value of the liability. Until
the liability is settled, the entity shall remeasure the fair value of the liability at each reporting date and at
the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or
whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company
recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment
of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing
termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due
more than 12 months after the reporting date are discounted to present value.
Profit-sharing and bonus plans
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for profit-share incentive scheme based on a formula
that takes into consideration the combined operating ratio which correlates to the profit. The Company
recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a
constructive obligation.
2.14 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from
the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
2.15 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company’s financial
statements in the period in which the dividend declaration is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors
and the Insurance Commission.
(13)
2.16 Foreign currency transactions and translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s financial
statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Philippine Peso using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions or the valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates
of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in statement of income.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated at
exchange rates as at the date of initial recognition. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are
measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
2.17 Interest and other income
Interest income
Interest income, which is presented gross of the tax paid or withheld, is recognized in the statement of
income on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
Other income
Other income is recognized in the statement of income when the Company’s right to receive payment is
established.
2.18 Expenses
General, operating and other expenses are recorded in the period in which they are incurred.
2.19 Income tax
Current income tax
Income tax payable on profits, based on the applicable tax law, is recognized as an expense in the year in
which profits arise.
(14)
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently
enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in
subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary
difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the
temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused
tax losses (net operating loss carryover or NOLCO) and unused tax credits (minimum corporate income tax
or MCIT) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized in full for all taxable
temporary differences.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and
when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the
balances on a net basis.
Deferred income tax expense or credit included in Provision for income tax is recognized for the changes
during the year in the deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
2.20 Related party relationships and transactions
Related party relationship exists when one party has the ability to control, directly, or indirectly, through
one or more intermediaries, the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making
financial and operating decisions. Such relationship also exists between and/or among entities which are
under common control with the reporting enterprise, or between and/or among the reporting enterprise
and its key management personnel, directors, or its shareholders. In considering each possible related party
relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form.
2.21 Subsequent events (or Events after the reporting date)
Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Company’s position at the reporting
date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting
events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements.
Note 3 - Risk and capital management
3.1 Risk management
The Company's core business is the underwriting of risk and it has developed processes and internal
controls to identify and manage risks in all key areas of risk exposure. It has a risk management framework
that is aimed at reducing uncertainty and volatility, which provides a consistent approach to managing risk
across the organization and optimizes risk and more effectively allocates capital and resources by assessing
the balance of risk and reward.
(15)
The Board of Directors annually approves a comprehensive risk management strategy (RMS) and a
reinsurance management strategy (REMS) that deal with all of the significant business risks, risk tolerances
and the selection, approval and monitoring of reinsurance risks.
The broad risk categories incorporated in the risk management framework are insurance risk and financial
risk.
3.1.1
Insurance risk
The risks inherent in any single insurance contract are the possibility of the insured event occurring and the
uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claim. By the very nature of an insurance contract, these risks are
random and unpredictable. In relation to the pricing of individual insurance contracts and the
determination of the level of the outstanding claims provision in relation to a portfolio of insurance
contracts, the principal risk is that the ultimate claims payments will exceed the carrying amount of the
provision established.
Experience shows that the larger the portfolio of similar insurance contracts, the smaller the relative
variability about the expected outcome will be. In addition, a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be
affected across the board by a change in any subset of the portfolio. The Company has developed its
insurance underwriting strategy to diversify the type of insurance risks accepted and within each of these
categories to achieve a sufficiently large population of risks to reduce the variability of the expected
outcome.
The Company uses reinsurance, both facultative and treaty, to manage its insurance risk to acceptable levels
and to protect its capital. Treaty reinsurance is arranged on behalf of the Company by the technical division
of a related company in Australia and includes risk in excess of loss and catastrophe coverage.
The effect of such reinsurance arrangements in 2014 is that the Company should not suffer total net
insurance losses of more than P17.2 million (2013 - P16.8 million) on a per risk basis and P34.5 million
(2013 - P33.7 million) on a catastrophe loss through any one event.
(a) Casualty insurance contracts
(i) Frequency and severity of claims
The frequency and severity of claims can be affected by several factors. Estimated inflation is also a
significant factor due to the long period typically required to settle these cases. The Company manages
these risks through its underwriting strategy, adequate reinsurance arrangements and proactive claims
handling.
The underwriting strategy attempts to ensure that the underwritten risks are well diversified in terms of
type and amount of risk, industry and geography.
Underwriting limits are in place to enforce appropriate risk selection criteria. For example, the
Company has the right not to renew individual policies, it can impose deductibles and it has the right to
reject the payment of a fraudulent claim. Insurance contracts also entitle the Company to pursue third
parties for payment of some or all costs (i.e., subrogation).

(ii) Sources of uncertainty in the estimation of future claim payments
Claims on casualty contracts are payable on a claims occurrence and claims made basis. The Company
is liable for all insured events that occurred during the term of the contract, even if the loss is discovered
after the end of the contract term. As a result, liability claims are settled over a long period of time and a
larger element of the claims provision relates to IBNR.
The estimation of IBNR is generally subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than the estimation of the
cost of settling claims already notified to the Company, where information about the claim event is
available. IBNR claims may not be apparent to the insured until many years after the event that gave
rise to the claims has happened. For casualty contracts, the IBNR proportion of the total liability is high
and will typically display greater variations between initial estimates and final outcomes because of the
greater degree of difficulty of estimating these liabilities. The Company has ten years of data to give
greater degree of confidence.
In estimating the liability for the cost of reported claims not yet paid, the Company considers any
information available from loss adjusters and information on the cost of settling claims with similar
characteristics in previous periods. Large claims are assessed on a case-by-case basis or projected
separately in order to allow for the possible distortive effect of their development and incidence on the
rest of the portfolio. The estimation of ultimate liability is completed by the Actuary.
Where possible, the Company adopts multiple techniques to estimate the required level of provisions.
This provides a greater understanding of the trends inherent in the experience being projected. The
projections given by the various methodologies also assist in estimating the range of possible outcomes.
The most appropriate estimation technique is selected taking into account the characteristics of the
business class and the extent of the development of each accident year.
(b) Property insurance contracts
(i) Frequency and severity of claims
For property insurance contracts, climatic changes give rise to more frequent and severe extreme
weather events (for example, river flooding, typhoons, etc.) and their consequences. For certain
contracts, the Company has also limited the number of claims that can be paid in any policy year or
introduced a maximum amount payable for claims in any policy year.
(17)
The Company has the right to reprice the risk on renewal. It also has the ability to impose deductibles
and reject fraudulent claims. These contracts are underwritten by reference to the commercial
replacement value of the properties and contents insured, and claim payment limits are always included
to cap the amount payable on occurrence of the insured event. Cost of rebuilding properties, of
replacement or indemnity for contents and time taken to restart operations for business interruption
are the key factors that influence the level of claims under these policies. The greatest likelihood of
significant losses on these contracts arises from storm or flood damage.
The concentration of insurance risk before and after reinsurance by geographical location in relation to
the direct property insurance premiums is summarized below.

(ii) Sources of uncertainty in the estimation of future claim payments
Property claims are analyzed separately for its exposures and risk accumulation. This is estimated
within the definition of the CRESTA zone exposures. The shorter settlement period for these claims
allows the Company to achieve a higher degree of certainty about the estimated cost of claims. The
Actuary provides reasonable estimates of the ultimate cost of claims using the Company’s past
experience and recognized estimation techniques.
(c) Marine insurance contracts
(i) Frequency and severity of claims
Marine insurance contract covers marine cargo, hull, liability and aviation. All marine insurance
policies issued are covered by reinsurance program.
Vessel’s marine liability coverage is referred to as Protection and Indemnity insurance (P&I). The
Company also has freight forwarders liability and marine PI.
Other marine liability insurance contract is ship repairer’s liability where yards are located in the
Philippines only. The type of risks that the Company had written tends to have low attrition losses but
could have high severity.
(18)
(ii) Sources of uncertainty in the estimation of future claim payments
For marine claims, marine adjusters and surveyors make valuations and recommendations for the
estimated loss reserves which include direct expenses to be incurred in settling claims, the expected
subrogation value and other recoveries. The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that it has
appropriate information regarding its claims exposures. The Actuary provides reasonable estimates of
the ultimate cost of claims using the Company’s past experience and recognized estimation techniques.

(d) Motor insurance contracts
(i) Frequency and severity of claims
Motor insurance contracts are underwritten by placing underwriting limits to enforce appropriate risk
selection criteria. For example, the Company has the right not to renew individual policies, it can
impose deductibles and it has the right to reject the payment of a fraudulent claim. Insurance contracts
also entitle the Company to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs
(i.e., subrogation). All motor insurance policies issued are covered by reinsurance program.
The Company started to offer motor insurance in 2013.
(ii) Sources of uncertainty in the estimation of future claim payments
Claims on motor insurance contracts are payable on a claims occurrence and claims made basis. The
Company is liable for all insured events that occurred during the term of the contract.
The Company makes valuations and recommendations for the estimated loss reserves which include
direct expenses to be incurred in settling claims, the expected subrogation value and other recoveries.
The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that it has appropriate information regarding its
claims exposures. The Actuary provides reasonable estimates of the ultimate cost of claims using the
Company’s past experience and recognized estimation techniques.

3.1.2 Financial risk
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: fair value interest rate risk, credit risk,
liquidity risk and currency risk.
The Company is exposed to financial risk through its financial assets, financial liabilities, reinsurance assets
and insurance assets and liabilities. In particular, the key financial risk is that the proceeds from its
financial assets are not sufficient to fund the obligations arising from its insurance contracts.
Interest rate risk
Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the
changes in interest rate. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s investments in government securities which are held to maturity bear fixed interest rates and
are carried at amortized cost. As such, the Company is not exposed to significant fair value interest risk and
cash flow interest rate risks.
Short-term insurance liabilities are not directly sensitive to changes in market interest rates as they are
undiscounted and contractually non-interest bearing.
Credit risk
The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises mainly from potential default of counterparties and borrowers.
Key areas where the Company is exposed to credit risk pertain to the amounts due from the following:




reinsurers in respect of claims recoveries,
insurance contract holders,
insurance intermediaries, and
investments and cash in banks
The Company structures the levels of credit risk it accepts by placing limits on its exposure to a single
counterparty, or groups of counterparty, and to geographical segments. Such risks are subject to an annual or
more frequent review.
(20)
Reinsurance is used to manage insurance risk. This does not, however, discharge the Company’s liability as
primary insurer. If a reinsurer fails to pay a claim for any reason, the Company remains liable for the payment
to the policyholder. The creditworthiness of reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their
financial strength prior to finalization of any contract.
The QBE Group Security Committee (GSC), which directs the QBE Insurance Group’s reinsurance placement
policy that is communicated to all global operations, assesses the creditworthiness of all reinsurers and
intermediaries by reviewing credit grades provided by rating agencies and other publicly available financial
information. GSC also receives details of recent payment history and the status of any ongoing negotiations
between Group companies and these third parties. This information is used by GSC to update the reinsurance
purchasing strategy and this is communicated to the Company on a quarterly basis.
Individual operating units maintain records of the payment history for significant contract holders with whom
they conduct regular business. The exposure to individual counterparties is also managed by other
mechanisms, such as the right of offset where counterparties are both debtors and creditors of the Company.
Internal audit makes regular reviews to assess the degree of compliance with the Group procedures on credit.
Exposures to individual policyholders and groups of policyholders are collected within the ongoing monitoring
of the controls associated with regulatory solvency. Where there exists significant exposure to individual
policyholders, or homogenous groups of policyholders, a financial analysis is carried out by the Company.
The financial analysis of reinsurers that is conducted at Group level produces an assessment categorized by
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) rating (or equivalent when not available from S&P) as follows:

There was no collateral held on the above loans and receivables.
Liquidity risk
The Company is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources mainly from claims arising from shortterm insurance contracts. Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations when due
at a reasonable cost. Management sets limits on the minimum proportion of maturing funds available to meet
such calls and on the minimum level of borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover maturities, claims
and surrenders at unexpected levels of demand.
Net insurance claim liabilities as detailed in Note 9 are expected to be settled mainly within two years. Due to
reinsurers, ceding companies and related parties are settled within the premium warranty period as stipulated
in the insurance contract which normally covers one year. Accrued expenses have a contractual maturity date
within 12 months. The amounts disclosed in Notes 13 and 22 are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Currency risk
The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk arises primarily from its US dollar (US$) denominated cash
and cash equivalents, receivables, liabilities and other accounts. The Company minimizes its exposure to any
significant foreign exchange rate risk by generally investing in assets denominated in the same currency as
insurance and reinsurance liabilities.

3.1.4 Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:



to comply with the minimum capitalization requirement, Margin of Solvency (MOS) and Risk-Based
Capital (RBC) Model set by the Insurance Commission;
to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide
security for its policyholders, returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.
The Company’s capital is equal to equity as shown in the statement of financial position.
The Company maintains a certain level of capital to ensure solvency margins in excess of regulatory
requirements are maintained which, in turn, protect its policyholders.
Externally Imposed Capital Requirements
To ensure compliance with these externally imposed capital requirements, it is the Company’s policy to assess
its position, at least on a quarterly basis, against set minimum capital requirements. The Company elevates
any requirement for additional capital infusion to its shareholders to address any foreseen capital deficiency.
President Benigno S. Aquino III has signed Republic Act No. 10607, the Amended Insurance Code (the Code),
into law effective September 20, 2013. Among the more significant provisions of the Code, domestic insurance
companies are required to maintain a minimum statutory net worth of P250 million by
June 30, 2013; P550 million by December 31, 2016; P900 million by December 31, 2019; and, P1.3 billion by
December 31, 2022.
The Company is compliant with the minimum statutory net worth as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Margin of Solvency Requirements
The Code grants the Insurance Commissioner the power to prescribe solvency requirements based on
internationally accepted solvency frameworks. Since the Insurance Commissioner has not prescribed new
solvency requirements, the margin of solvency requirements of the previous insurance code was followed. The
previous Code states that a non-life insurance company doing business in the Philippines shall maintain at all
times MOS equal to P500,000 or 10% of the total amount of its net premiums written during the preceding
year, whichever is higher. The MOS shall be the excess of the value of its admitted assets (as defined under the
Insurance Code), exclusive of its security deposits over the amount of its liabilities, reserve for unearned
premiums and reinsurance reserves in the Philippines. Reserve for unearned premiums determined in
accordance with the same Code for purposes of MOS (24th method) in 2014 amounts to P341,560,663
(2013 - P248,602,383).
The MOS level is monitored by the Company’s management, employing the procedures based on the
guidelines developed by the Insurance Commission.
(27)
In the accompanying financial statements, the PFRS net reserve for unexpired premiums as at
December 31 follows:
Reserve for unearned premiums

The estimated amounts of non-admitted assets as at December 31 as defined in the Insurance Code consist of
the following:
Loans and receivables
Property and equipment, net
Deferred income tax assets, net
Other assets

The 2014 and 2013 Annual Statements of the Company have not yet been approved by the Insurance
Commission. The final amount of the 2014 and 2013 MOS can be determined only after the accounts of the
Company have been examined by the Insurance Commission specifically as to admitted and non-admitted
assets as defined in the Insurance Code.
Risk-Based Capital Framework
The Insurance Commission is expected to issue a revised RBC framework following international standards in
accordance with the amended Insurance Code. While the revised RBC framework is still under study and
evaluation by the Insurance Commission (IC), the Company calculated its RBC ratio following IC
Memorandum Circular No. 7-2006.
Insurance Commission Memorandum Circular No. 7-2006 provides for the risk-based capital framework for
the insurance industry to establish the required amounts of capital to be maintained by the companies in
relation to their investment and insurance risks. Every insurance company is required annually to maintain a
minimum RBC ratio of 100% and not fail the trend test. Failure to meet the minimum RBC ratio shall subject
the insurance company to the corresponding regulatory intervention which has been defined at various levels.
The RBC ratio shall be calculated as Net worth divided by the RBC requirement. Net worth shall include the
Company’s paid-up capital, contributed and contingency surplus and unassigned surplus. Revaluation and
fluctuation reserve accounts shall form part of Net worth only to the extent authorized by the Insurance
Commission.
(28)
The following table shows how the RBC ratio was determined by the Company:
Net worth

RBC Ratio
2014
612,886,046
349,892,402
175%
2013
561,370,156
440,537,999
127%
As at December 31, 2013, the Company’s RBC ratio was 127%, affected by the Cebu-Bohol earthquake and
Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) claims in fourth quarter. Given the significant claims recoverable from
reinsurers arising from these catastrophe events, the Company’s captive insurer has agreed to advance
reinsurance recoverable payment for the Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) claims. As at March 31, 2014, the
Company's RBC ratio improved to 147% partly due to a P223.7 million (USD 5 million) advance collection
from its outstanding reinsurance recoverable account.
Based on the IC Circular 7-2006, the Company maintained the minimum RBC ratio of 100% and the
Company was solvent at all times during the year. From August 2013, the Company has adopted the
valuation basis pursuant to Section 219 of the new Insurance Code for solvency reporting.
Note 4 - Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates
will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and assumptions used in preparing the
financial statements 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.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
4.1 Critical accounting estimate
The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts (Note 9)
The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is the Company’s
most critical accounting estimate. There are several sources of uncertainty that are inherent in the method of
estimation of the liability that the Company will ultimately pay for such claims. The Actuary provides
reasonable estimates of the ultimate cost of claims using the Company’s past experience and recognized
estimation techniques. The Company considers that it is impracticable to disclose with sufficient reliability the
possible effects of sensitivities surrounding these actuarial assumptions. The carrying values of liability arising
from claims made under insurance contracts (reserve for unearned premiums and outstanding losses) as at
December 31, 2014 amount to P1.30 billion (2013 - P1.65 billion).
(29)
4.2 Critical accounting judgment
Classification of held-to-maturity securities (Note 7)
The Company follows the guidance of PAS 39 in classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant
judgment. In making this judgment, the Company evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments
to maturity. If the Company fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific
circumstances - for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be required to reclassify
the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value, not amortized
cost. If the entire class of held-to-maturity securities is tainted, the fair value in 2014 would increase by
P4.0 million (2013 - P1.0 million) with a corresponding entry in the fair value reserve in equity.
Impairment of loans and receivables (Note 8)
The provision for impairment of receivables is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of
payments from its debtors. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of the debtors to pay the
amounts owed to the Company and the outcome of any disputes. Any change in the Company’s assessment of
the collectibility of receivables could significantly impact the calculation of such provision and results of its
financial performance. Total receivables subjected to this assessment are shown in Note 8. The Company’s
impaired accounts, which are fully provided by allowance for impairment losses, as at December 31, 2014
amount to P3.3 million (2013 - P0.82 million). Management believes that the remaining loans and receivables
as at December 31, 2014 are fully recoverable.
Recognition of deferred income tax assets (Note 10)
Management reviews at each reporting date the carrying amounts of its deferred income tax assets. The
carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reduced to the extent that the related tax assets cannot be utilized
due to insufficient taxable profit against which the deferred income tax assets will be applied. Management
believes that sufficient taxable profit will be generated to allow all of the deferred income tax assets to be
utilized.

Note 15 - Retirement benefit obligation
The Company has a funded, non-contributory defined benefit plan covering all of its regular employees.
Under the plan, qualified officers and employees are entitled to retirement benefits when they reach the
normal retirement age of 60 years or early retirement age of 55 years and have completed at least 5 years of
continuous service. Normal and early retirement benefits consist of a lump sum benefit equivalent to one
month’s final pay for every year of service. The plan also provides late retirement, death, disability and
voluntary separation benefits. The plan is administered by a local bank as trustee.
The amounts recognized in the accounts in relation to retirement benefits, as a result of the Company’s
adoption of PAS 19R, the revised standard on employee benefits, as at and for the years ended December 31
are as follows:

Discount rate
The discount rate was determined in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Council
[FRSC] approved Q&A 2008-01(Revised) document, which mandates that discount rates reflect
(a) benefit cash flows and (b) use of zero coupon rates, even though theoretically derived.
The procedure of bootstrapping was applied to the PDST-R2 benchmark government bonds as of
December 31, 2014 and 2013 to arrive at the theoretical zero coupon yield curve. These derived rates were
then used to compute the present value of the expected future benefit cash flows across valuation years.
Finally, the single-weighted discount rate was calculated as the uniform discount rate that produced the
same present value.
Future salary increases
This is the expected long-term average rate of salary increase taking into account inflation, seniority,
promotion and other market factors. Salary increases comprise of the general inflationary increases plus a
further increase for individual productivity, merit and promotion. The future salary increase rates are set by
reference over the period over which benefits are expected to be paid.
Demographic assumptions
Assumptions regarding mortality experience are set based on published statistics and experience in the
Philippines.
An analysis of the sensitivity of the defined benefit plan liability to changes in the weighted principal
assumptions is shown below:

Decrease in

4,317,342
(2,712,367)
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may
be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial
assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the
projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the
retirement liability recognized within the statement of financial position.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
significantly compared to the previous period.

The plan is being administered by a trustee-bank which is authorized to invest the fund as it deems proper.
The Company’s transactions with the retirement fund for the years are limited to contributions. The fair
value of the plan assets approximates their carrying value as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which
are detailed below:

Changes in bond yields - A decrease in government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although
this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans’ bond holdings.

Life expectancy - The majority of the plans’ obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the
member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the plans’ liabilities.
The retirement plan has no specific matching strategy between the plan assets and the plan liabilities.

Key management personnel’s compensation and short-term benefits amount to P12.1 million
(2013 - P14.2 million).
Eligible employees of the Company are able to participate in a reward scheme provided by the QBE Group.
Since 2006, that scheme has provided eligible employees with the cash value of the volume weighted
average market price of QBE shares traded in the Australian Stock Exchange at the time of offer of the
reward, with the provision that it will be paid to eligible employees after three years from the date of offer,
provided that they remain employees of the Company. The liability is restated at the volume weighted
average market price of QBE shares as at year-end. In 2014, the cash value is recognized as an expense at
the time of offer and included in the accrued employee benefits and training costs of P187,017
(2013 - P181,547) in respect of the scheme.
The Company has 67 employees as at December 31, 2014 (2013 - 47 employees).
