Operating expenses, which consist of production cost, general and administrative
expenses, cost of sales and services, and agency commission declined by 2%
to P15,724 million in 2006. Cash operating expenses were flat while non-cash
operating expenses declined by 14% YoY. If we strip-out the non-recurring charges,
total opex went up by 5% to P15,257 million.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for 2006
ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABS-CBN) net income in 2006 more than
doubled to P741 million from P252 million in 2005. Despite an industry wide
slowdown in ad spending particularly in 2H06, airtime revenues grew by 3% to
P10,663 million in 2006. In addition, revenues were boosted by license fees from
the migration of DTH (direct-to-home) subscribers in North America to DIRECTV’s
platform. Expense growth, on the other hand, remained controlled due to more
prudent production cost spending coupled with lower employee cost.
Gross revenues, which consist of gross airtime revenues, sale of services, license
fees, and sale of goods rose by 2% year on year (YoY) to P17,386 million for 2006.

Consolidated gross airtime revenues improved by 3% to P10,663 million. Parent
airtime revenues, which consist of revenues from Channel 2, AM and FM radio, and
the regional network, likewise went up by 3% to P9,602 million.This can be primarily
attributed to higher revenue contribution from non-traditional advertisements
or creative buys such as product intrusions and product placements. Airtime
revenues of other platforms, on the other hand, grew by 9% YoY to P1,060 million
on the back of higher airtime revenues of ABS-CBN Global.

License fees, which represent revenues from the migration of existing US DTH
subscribers to DIRECTV’s platform as well as take up of new subscribers, declined
by 31% to P1,117 million in 2006 from P1,619 million in 2005 as the migration
period for both new and existing US DTH subscribers to DIRECTV’s platform ended
last August.
Sale of services, which refers to revenues derived from cable and satellite
programming services, film production and distribution, interactive media, content
development and programming services, post production, text messaging, etc.,
increased by 20% to P5,077 million in 2006.
Accounting for 74% of total, ABS-CBN Global registered a 20% growth in sale of
services to P3,749 million from P3,131 million in 2005. Although DTH subscription
revenues in North America were reduced by half following the deal with DIRECTV,
these were offset by higher subscription revenues on the back of robust subscriber
take-up.
As of end-December, total subscriber base of ABS-CBN Global grew by 21% YoY,
equivalent to 1.6 million viewers worldwide.

Expenses
Total expenses went down by 4% to P15,976 million in 2006. However, excluding
non-recurring charges of P467 million in 2006 related to DIRECTV marketing
expenses as well as P1,420 million DIRECTV marketing expenses and Special
Separation Program (SSP) expenses booked in 2005, total recurring expenses went
up by 2% to P15,508 million.

Depreciation expense, on the other hand, decreased by 5% to P1,170 million given
controlled capital spending.
Operating Income
With revenues growing faster than operating expenses, operating income improved
by 58% from P1,051 million to P1,661 million as of December. Consequently,
operating margin went up to 10% as against 6% in the same period last year.
Net Income
Consolidated general and administrative expenses (GAEX) dropped by 12% YoY to
P5,135 million from P5,847 million the previous year. Excluding non-cash charges
such as depreciation and amortization, consolidated cash GAEX likewise declined
by 7% to P4,630 million. However, without the non-recurring charges, total
recurring GAEX is up by 5% or in line with inflation rate.

Meanwhile, sale of goods which refers to revenues arising from the sale of
consumer products such as magazines, audio, video products and phonecards,
dropped by 37% to P529 million in 2006.
ABS-CBN Global’s sale of goods, which contributed 46% of total, dropped by 51%
to P244 million after it stopped selling prepaid phonecards in the United States
to concentrate on its core business of content distribution. Sale of goods of other
subsidiaries, on the other hand, declined by 17% due mainly to lower sales of audio
products by Star Records as there were fewer hit music records in 2006.
Depreciation
Amortization
Non-cash expenses
ABS-CBN Films released nine movies in 2006 compared to five movies the prior
year. Out of the nine movies released, ticket sales of four movies namely Don’t
Give up on Us, Close to You, Sukob, and You are the One surpassed the P100 million
blockbuster mark. In particular, the horror movie, Sukob, grossed more than P200
million at the box office, making it the highest grossing local movie in Philippine
history.

Production cost was almost flat YoY at P5,714 million. Excluding non-cash charges
such as depreciation and amortization of program rights, cash production cost
increased slightly to P4,344 million. Talent fees, which account for 42% of total
production cost, declined by 4% to P2,412 million as a result of a more efficient
production planning which led to lesser number of taping days. Other program
expenses, on the other hand, went up by 16% to P1,098 million due to expenses
related to the Pacquiao fights coupled with increased marketing activities in the
provinces to enhance the Company’s leadership nationwide.
Non-cash operating expenses, composed primarily of depreciation and
amortization, went down by 14% to P2,075 million in 2006 from P2,407 million
in the same period last year. Bulk of the decline can be attributed to lower
amortization costs which dropped by 23% to P904 million as the Company already
completed the amortization of deferred subsidies on the decoder boxes of existing
US DTH subscribers in 2005. Amortization of program rights, on the other hand,
increased by 7% to P887 million as the Company accelerated the amortization of
movies based on their commercial viability.

Cost of sales and services went up by 2% to P2,417 million in 2006. This compares
against a 10% growth in combined sale of services and sale of goods hence
reflecting margin improvement of the subsidiaries. ABS-CBN Global, which
accounted for 58% of cost of sales and services, registered a 3% decline in cost
of sales.

Other expenses declined by 60% to P252 million in 2006 from P623 million in
2005. Net finance costs decreased by 10% to P648 million on the back of lower
outstanding debt as of December. Other income, on the other hand, increased by
56% to P449 million from P287 million due to gate receipts from the PacquiaoLarios boxing bout organized by the Company in July. Meanwhile, equity losses
reached P52 million as against P194 million the prior year, reflecting the continued
improvement in Skycable’s operations.
As a result of the improvement in operating income and lower other expenses, the
Company reported a net income of P742 million in 2006, 187% higher YoY. Net of
minority interest, net income attributable to equity holders reached P741 million
in 2006, up 194% YoY from P252 million in 2005. Similarly, earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) went up by 19% to P4,188 million,
translating to an EBITDA margin of 24%.
Balance Sheet Accounts
Total consolidated assets reached P23,902 million, 4% lower versus end-2005.
Cash and cash equivalents declined by 5% to P1,662 million. Consolidated trade
and other receivables dropped by 6% to P4,382 million with trade receivables
accounting for 81% of total. Trade receivables increased by 3% to P4,010 million,
translating to trade days sales outstanding (DSO) of 84 days or flat versus 2005.
Other current assets increased by 28% to P1,011 million due mainly to production
expenses of yet to be aired episodes of the Company’s programs particularly soap
operas as well as upcoming movies of ABS-CBN Films. Since 2005, the Company
begun the canning or advanced taping of some shows in order to cut location
rentals and maximize efficiencies from production planning.
Total interest-bearing loans and borrowings declined by 27% to P4,574 million
from P6,276 million in end-2005 following the payment of P1,798 million in loans
in 2006. As a result, net debt to equity ratio declined to 0.21x from 0.34x in 2005.
Meanwhile, total capital expenditure including program rights acquisition reached
P891 million in 2006, 25% lower versus last year as the Company controlled capital
spending to prioritize its loans payments during the year.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation and Subsidiaries, which
comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated statements of income,
consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2006, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that
are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in
accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ABS-CBN Broadcasting
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and their financial performance and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial
instruments and available-for-sale investments which are measured at fair value.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Company’s functional and
presentation currency under Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) and all values are rounded to the nearest
thousand except when otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation and all its subsidiaries (the Company) have
been prepared in compliance with PFRS. PFRS include standards named PFRS and Philippine Accounting Standards
(PAS), including Interpretations issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has adopted the following amendments to PFRS and Philippine Interpretation of International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations during the year. The accounting policies adopted are
consistent with those of the previous financial year except the adoption of the amended standards and interpretation
below.
§
§
§
§
Amendment to PAS 19, “Employee Benefits”
Amendment to PAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”
Amendments to PAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”
The principal effects of these changes, if any, are as follows:
§
Amendment to PAS 19, “Employee Benefits”
Amendment for Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures — As of January 1, 2006, the Company
adopted the amendment of PAS 19. As a result, additional disclosures on the financial statements are made to
provide information about trends in the assets and liabilities in the defined benefit plans and the assumptions
underlying the components of the defined benefit cost. The Company chose not to apply the new option offered to
recognize actuarial gains and losses outside of the consolidated statement of income.
The Company’s financial statement has been restated to adjust the employee benefits recognized and adjusted in
2005 in line with the adoption of PAS 19, “Employee Benefits”. A new interpretation has been issued related to the
implementation of the Standard. The Company revisited its computation which resulted to P
= 16 million (net of tax
amounting to P
= 8 million) adjustment to decrease the 2005 beginning retained earnings and increase “General and
administrative expenses” account in 2005 by P
= 57 million, decrease the “Provision for income tax” account by
P
= 20 million and increase the “Trade and other payables” account by P
= 81 million as of December 31, 2005.
§
Amendment to PAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”
Amendment for Net Investment in Foreign Operation — As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the
amendment to PAS 21 which requires that all exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of
the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in a separate component of equity in the
consolidated financial statements regardless of the currency in which the monetary item is denominated. This
change has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
Amendments to PAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
Amendment for Financial Guarantee Contracts (issued August 2005) — This amended the scope of PAS 39 to
require financial guarantee contracts that are not considered as insurance contracts to be recognized initially at fair
value and to be remeasured at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with PAS 37, “Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative
amortization recognized in accordance with PAS 18, “Revenue”. This amendment did not have an effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
Amendment for Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intra-Group Transactions (issued August 2005) — This
amended PAS 39 to permit the foreign currency risk of a highly probable intra-group forecast transaction to qualify as
the hedged item in a cash flow hedge, provided that the transaction is denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of the entity entering into that transaction and that the foreign currency risk will affect the
consolidated statement of income. As the Company currently has no such transactions, the amendment did not have
an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendment for the Fair Value Option (issued June 2005) — This amended PAS 39 to restrict the use of the option to
designate any financial asset or any financial liability to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. This
amendment has no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”
This interpretation provides guidance in determining whether arrangements contain a lease to which lease accounting
must be applied. The adoption of the interpretation has no significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
The following Philippine Interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006 but are not
relevant to the Company:
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 5, “Rights to Interests Arising from Decommissioning Restoration and Environmental
Rehabilitation of Funds”
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 6, “Liabilities Arising from Participating in a Specific Market - Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment”
Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Effective
The Company did not opt for the early adoption of the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations that have been
approved but are not yet effective:
§
PFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures,” and the complementary amendment to PAS 1, “Presentation of
Financial Statements: Capital Disclosures” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007)
PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about the financial instruments. It requires the
disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments,
including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, as well as sensitivity analysis
to market risk. It replaces PAS 30, “Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial
Institutions,” and the disclosure requirements in PAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation.” It is
applicable to all entities that report under PFRS. The Company is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 7 and the
amendment to PAS 1 and expects that the main additional disclosures will be the sensitivity analysis to market risk
and capital disclosures required by PFRS 7 and the amendment to PAS 1. The Company will apply PFRS 7 and
amendment to PAS 1 in 2007.
§
PFRS 8, “Operating Segments” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)
This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. The information reported would be
that which management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments and allocating
resources to those segments. Such information may be different from that reported in the balance sheet and
statement of income and companies will need to provide explanations and reconciliations of the differences.
PFRS 8 will replace PAS 14, “Segment Reporting.” The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard
to its current manner of reporting segment information.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 7, “Applying the Restatement Approach under PAS 29, Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2006)
This interpretation provides guidance on how to apply PAS 29 when an economy first becomes hyperinflationary, in
particular the accounting for deferred income tax. The interpretation will have no impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 8, “Scope of PFRS 2” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after May 1, 2006)
This interpretation requires PFRS 2, “Group and Treasury Share Transactions,” to be applied to any arrangements
where equity instruments are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. The Company
expects that the interpretation will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, “Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives” (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after June 1, 2006)
This interpretation prohibits subsequent reassessment of embedded derivatives unless there is a change in the terms
of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which
case, reassessment is required. An entity determines whether a modification to cash flows is significant by
considering the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the embedded derivatives, the host
contract or both have changed and whether the change is significant relative to previously expected cash flows on the
contract. This interpretation will have no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 10, “Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment” (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after November 1, 2006)
This interpretation prohibits the reversal of impairment loss on goodwill and available-for-sale equity investments
recognized in the interim financial reports even if impairment is no longer present at the annual balance sheet date.
This interpretation will have no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2, “Group and Treasury Share Transactions” (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after March 1, 2007)
This interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity’s equity instruments to
be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the entity chooses or is required to buy those
equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from another party, or (b) the shareholder(s) of the entity provide the equity
instruments needed. It also provides guidance on how subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account
for such schemes when their employees receive rights to the equity instruments of the parent. Currently, the
Company does not have any stock option plan and therefore, does not expect this interpretation to have significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, “Service Concession Arrangements” (effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2008)
This interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from entities providing public services and is not relevant
to the Company’s current operations.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation and its
subsidiaries as at December 31 each year (see Note 14). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for
the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
All intra-company balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-company
transactions that are recognized in assets, are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and
continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Minority Interests
Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by the Company and are presented
separately in the statements of income and within the equity in the consolidated balance sheets separately from parent
shareholders’ equity.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of income with the
exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity.
These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognized in the
statement of income. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also dealt
with in equity. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
The functional currencies of the foreign subsidiaries are as follows:
Subsidiary
ABS-CBN International
ABS-CBN Australia Pty. Ltd. (ABS-CBN Australia)
ABS-CBN Middle East FZ-LLC (ABS-CBN Middle East)
ABS-CBN Europe Ltd. (ABS-CBN Europe)
Functional Currency
United States Dollar
Australian Dollar
Great Britain Pound
As at the reporting date, the balance sheets of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of the
Company (the Philippine Peso) at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and, their statement of income are
translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are
taken directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount
recognized in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Financial Instruments
The Company made use of exemption provided by PFRS 1. As allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the effect of adopting PAS 39 did not result in a restatement of prior period’s consolidated financial statements.
The cumulative effect of adopting this standard was credited to the January 1, 2005 retained earnings.
Adoption of this Standard has increased (decreased) the following accounts at January 1, 2005:
Other noncurrent assets
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings - net of current portion
Derivative assets
CTA
Trade and other receivables
Deferred tax assets
Program rights and other intangibles
Retained earnings

from long-term debt.
b.
The Company recognized the fair value of its derivatives (freestanding and embedded) as of January 1, 2005. The
fair value of freestanding derivatives which qualified for hedge accounting under previous Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles was reported in CTA. Embedded derivatives were bifurcated from program rights and license
agreements.

The Company tested its trade and other receivable for impairment on January 1, 2005 resulting to additional
impairment losses.
d.
The Company discounted its long-term noninterest-bearing payables to comply with PAS 39’s requirement to record
all financial instruments at fair value upon initial recognition. Subsequently, these were carried at amortized costs.
The policies on financial instruments effective January 1, 2005 follow:
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Date of Recognition. Purchases or sale of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established
by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the settlement date. Derivatives are recognized on
trade date basis (i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset).
Initial Recognition of Financial Instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.
Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of all financial assets and liabilities, except for financial
instruments which are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual
arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial
liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are
charged directly to equity net of any related income tax benefits. Financial instruments are offset when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset and intention to settle either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Financial assets are further classified into the following categories: (a) financial asset at fair value through profit or loss;
(b) loans and receivables; (c) held-to-maturity investments; and (d) available-for-sale financial assets. Financial liabilities,
on the other hand, are classified into: (a) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; and (b) other liabilities at
amortized cost. The Company determines the classification at initial recognition and where allowed and appropriate, reevaluates this designation at every reporting date.
a.
Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets and liabilities held
for trading purposes, financial assets and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value
through profit or loss, and derivative instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling
and repurchasing in the near term. Included in this classification are debt and equity securities which have been
acquired principally for trading purposes.
Financial assets and financial liabilities may be designated at initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss if
the following criteria are met:
§
the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from
measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis;
§
the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and
their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or
investment strategy; or
§
the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly
modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded.
The Company’s derivative instruments (including embedded derivatives) that are not accounted for as accounting
hedges are classified under this category.
b.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale, are not classified as
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, designated as available-for-sale financial assets or held-to-maturity
investments.
After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is
included in the interest income in the consolidated statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are
recognized in provision for doubtful accounts in the consolidated statement of income.
This category includes the Company’s trade, intercompany and other receivables.
c.
Held-to-Maturity Investments
Quoted nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as heldto-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be
held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Other long-term investments that are intended to
be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortized cost. This cost is computed as the
amount initially recognized minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective
interest method of any difference between the initially recognized amount and the maturity amount. This calculation
includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortized cost,
gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the investments are derecognized or
impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
The Company has no held-to-maturity investments as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
d.
Available-for-Sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale
or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. They are purchased and held indefinitely and may be
sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. The effective yield component
of debt securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, as well as the impact of restatement on foreign
currency-denominated debt securities classified as available-for-sale, is reported in the consolidated statement of
income. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of available-for-sale financial assets are
excluded, net of applicable tax, from the consolidated statement of income and are reported as cumulative translation
adjustments in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated statement of changes in
equity.
The Company’s available-for-sale financial assets include investments in ordinary common shares and debt
instruments.
Other Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost
This classification includes loans and borrowings which are initially recognized at fair value of the consideration received
less directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.
Gains or losses are recognized in income or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization
process.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps to hedge its
risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially
recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair
value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken
directly to the consolidated statement of income.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:
§
fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability;
§
cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognized asset or liability or a forecast transaction; or
§
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
A hedge of the foreign currency risk of a firm commitment is accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which
the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the
hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of
the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to
changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be
highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to
determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were
designated.
Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
Fair Value Hedges. Fair value hedges are hedges of the Company’s exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized
asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or firm
commitment, that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect profit or loss. For fair value hedges, the carrying
amount of the hedged item is adjusted for gains and losses attributable to the risk being hedged, the derivative is
remeasured at fair value and gains and losses from both are taken to the consolidated statement of income.
The Company has no derivatives that are designated or accounted for fair value hedges as of December 31, 2006 and
2005.
Cash Flow Hedges. Cash flow hedges are hedges of the exposures to variability in cash flows that are attributable to a
particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect the
consolidated statement of income. Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument that qualifies as a highly effective
cash flow hedge are recognized directly in equity, while any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in the
consolidated statement of income.
Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction affects
profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale or
purchase occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are
transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognized in equity are transferred to the
consolidated statement of income. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without
replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognized in equity remain in
equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amount is taken to the
In October 2005, the Company designated its outstanding interest rates and cross currency swaps as cash flow hedges.
Hedges of a Net Investment. Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that
is accounted for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in a way similar to cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on
the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized directly in equity while any gains or
losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. On disposal of the
foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recognized directly in equity is transferred to the
The Company has no hedges of a net investment in 2006 and 2005.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at
amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the 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 (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial
recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account.
The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are
individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is
determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant
or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial
assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an
impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any
subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, to the extent that the
carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.
Assets Carried at Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not
carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must
be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as
the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the
current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
Available-for-Sale Financial Assets.
If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference
between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortization) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss
previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income, is transferred from equity to the consolidated statement of
income. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognized in the consolidated
statement of income. Reversals of impairment losses, if any, on debt instruments are reversed through the consolidated
statement of income, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after
the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial Assets. A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is derecognized where:
§
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
§
the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full
without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or
§
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Where the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the
extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee
over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of
consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Financial Liability. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Determination of Fair Value. The fair value of financial instruments traded in organized financial markets is determined by
reference to quoted market bid prices that are active at the close of business at the balance sheet date. When current bid
and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction is used since it provides evidence of current
fair value as long as there has not been significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction.
For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques.
Such techniques include using reference to similar instruments for which observable prices exist, discounted cash flows
analyses, and other relevant valuation models.
Financial Instruments (Prior to 2005)
The Company enters into long-term foreign currency swap agreements to manage its foreign currency exposures relating
to certain long-term foreign currency-denominated loans. Translation gains or losses on foreign currency swaps entered
into as hedges are computed by multiplying the swap notional amounts by the difference between the spot exchange rate
prevailing on balance sheet date and the spot exchange rate on the contract inception date (or the last reporting date).
The resulting translation gains or losses are offset against the translation losses or gains on the underlying foreign
currency-denominated liabilities.
The Company also enters into interest rates swaps to manage its interest rate exposures on underlying floating-rate
loans. Swap costs accruing on foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps that are currently due to or from the swap
counterparties are charged to current operations. Mark-to-market values of the foreign currency swaps are not included in
the determination of net income but are disclosed in the relevant note to these consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an
insignificant risk of change in value.
Inventories
Inventories included under “Other current assets - net” account in the consolidated balance sheet are valued at the lower
of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average method. Net realizable value of inventories
that are for sale is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of marketing and distribution. Net
realizable value of inventories not held for sale is the current replacement cost. Unrealizable inventories are written off.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, except land, are carried at cost (including capitalized interest), excluding the costs of day-to-day
servicing, less accumulated depreciation and amortization and accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the
cost of replacing part of such property and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met. Land is
stated at cost less any impairment in value. Depreciation is computed on a straight line method over the property and
equipment’s useful lives.
The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of income in the year
the asset is derecognized.
The property and equipment’s residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at
each financial year-end.
Construction in progress represents equipment under installation and building under construction and is stated at cost
which includes cost of construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time that
the relevant assets are completed and put into operational use.
The net present value of legal obligations associated with the retirement of an item of property and equipment that
resulted from the acquisition, construction or development and the normal operations of property and equipment is
recognized in the period in which it is incurred and a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in
a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible
assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful
economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at
each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and
treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized
in the consolidated statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating
unit level. Such intangibles are not amortized. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed
annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life
assessment from finite to indefinite is made on a prospective basis.
A summary of the policies applied to the Company’s acquired intangible assets is as follows:

Investment in an Associate
The Company’s investment in an associate is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. An associate is an
entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.
Sky Vision Corporation (Sky Vision) was considered as an associate although the Company’s equity interest is only
10.2% (see Note 8), as the Company exercise significant influence over Sky Vision with the combination of the
Company’s interest with that of Lopez (the ultimate parent company) and Benpres Holdings Corporation (a co-subsidiary)
(collectively, the Lopez Group). The combined Lopez Group interest represents controlling interest in Sky Vision and
results in Sky Vision being consolidated in Lopez, the ultimate parent. In addition, the Company has a significant longterm receivable from Sky Vision which is convertible into Sky Vision shares upon determination of the conversion price.
Upon conversion, the Company will gain control over Sky Vision (see Note 8).
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheets at cost plus post-acquisition
changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the
carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. After application of the equity method, the Company determines
whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the Company’s net investment in the
associate. The consolidated statement of income reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where
there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of any
changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The reporting dates of
the associate and the Company are identical and the associates’ accounting policies conform to those used by the
Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business
combination over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.
Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed
for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be
impaired.
Tax Credits
Tax credits from government airtime sales availed under Presidential Decree No. 1362 are recognized in the books upon
actual airing of government commercials and advertisements. This is included under “Other noncurrent assets - net”
account in the consolidated balance sheet.
Deferred Charges
Gain or loss on sale of decoders which has no stand alone value without the subscription revenues are aggregated and
recognized ratably over the longer of subscription contract term or the estimated customer service life. These are
presented as part of “Other noncurrent assets - net” account in the consolidated balance sheets. As explained in Note 24,
the Parent Company and ABS-CBN International entered into an agreement with DirecTV, Inc. (DirecTV) whereby directto-home (DTH) subscribers of ABS-CBN International are expected to migrate to DirecTV in 2006. ABS-CBN
International will continue to service its subscribers until February 28, 2006. Accordingly, the deferred charges related to
the DTH subscribers of ABS-CBN International are written off as of December 31, 2005, since management is of the
opinion that the corresponding future benefits from these assets, if any, are not material.
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the
asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash- generating unit’s fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of
an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment
losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of
the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the
asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal
is recognized in the consolidated statement of income unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the
reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to
allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the
Company and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.
Airtime revenue is recognized as income on the dates the advertisements are aired. The fair values of barter transactions
are included in airtime revenue and the related accounts. These transactions represent advertising time exchanged for
program materials, merchandise or service.
Sale of services include:
a.
Subscription fees which are recognized as follows:
DTH Subscribers and Cable Operators. Subscription fees are recognized under the accrual basis in accordance with
the terms of the agreements.
Share in Direct TV, Inc. (DirecTV) Subscription Revenue.
Subscription revenue from subscribers of DirecTV who
subscribe to the The Filipino Channel is recognized in accordance with the Deal Memorandum, as discussed in
Note 24.
Subscription revenue from ABS-CBN Now. Subscription revenue from online streaming services of Filipino-oriented
content and programming are received in advance (included under “Trade and other payables” account) and are
deferred and recognized as revenue over the period during which the service is performed.
b.
Telecommunications revenue which is recognized when earned. These are stated net of the share of the other
telecommunications carriers, if any, under existing correspondence and interconnection agreements. Interconnection
fees and charges are based on agreed rates with the other telecommunications carriers.
Income from prepaid phone cards are realized based on actual usage hours or expiration of the unused value of the
card, whichever comes earlier. Income from prepaid card sales for which the related services have not been
rendered as of balance sheet date, is presented as “Other current liabilities” under “Trade and other payables”
account in the consolidated balance sheets.
c.
Channel lease revenue which is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
d.
Income from film exhibition which is recognized, net of theater shares, on the dates the films are shown.
e.
Income from TV rights and cable rights are recognized on the dates the films are permitted to be publicly shown as
stipulated in the agreement.
License fees earned from DirecTV is recognized upon migration of the DTH subscribers of ABS-CBN International to
DirecTV. The additional license fees for each migrated subscriber that will remain for 14 consecutive months from the
date of activation, will be recognized on the 14th month (see Note 24).
Sale of goods is recognized when delivery has taken place and transfer of risks and rewards has been completed. These
are stated net of sales discounts, returns and allowances.
Income related to the sale and installation of decoders of ABS-CBN Australia (included under “Sale of goods” account in
the consolidated statement of income) which has no stand alone value without the subscription revenues are aggregated
and recognized ratably over the longer of subscription contract term or the estimated customer service life.
Short-messaging-system/text-based revenues, sale of news materials and Company-produced programs included under
“Sale of services” account in the consolidated statement of income are recognized upon delivery.
Rental income is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis that reflects the effective yield on the asset.
Dividends are recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.
Leases
The determination whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or the
arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the
following applies:
a.
there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the agreement;
b.
a renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension was initially included
in the lease term;
c.
there is a change in the determination of whether the fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or
d.
there is a substantial change to the asset.
Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in
circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios a, c or d and the date of renewal or extension period for
scenario b.
For arrangements entered prior to January 1, 2005, the date of inception is deemed to be January 1, 2005 in accordance
with the transitional requirements of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4.
Company as Lessee. Finance leases, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if
lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance
charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Finance charges are charged directly against the consolidated statement of income.
Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if
there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Operating lease
payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Company as Lessor. Leases where the Company retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset
are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying
amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is
used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the
activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred and ceases when
the assets are ready for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount,
an impairment loss is recorded. Borrowing costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the
borrowing of funds.
Pension Costs
The Company has a funded defined benefit pension plans except for ABS-CBN International which has a defined
contribution pension plan. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for
each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when
the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for each individual plan at the end of the previous reporting
year exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These
gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the
plans.
The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits
become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a pension
plan, past service cost is recognized immediately.
The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and actuarial gains and
losses not recognized, reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the
obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate
or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any
economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
Income Taxes
Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred Tax. Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at
the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, including asset revaluations. Deferred
income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax credits
from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits
and unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income tax, however, is not recognized when it arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
domestic subsidiaries and associates. With respect to investments in other subsidiaries and associates, deferred income
tax liabilities are recognized except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to
be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are measured at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the
asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
EPS
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net income attributed to equity holders of the Parent Company for the
period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. The Company has no dilutive potential common shares outstanding that would require disclosure of diluted
earnings per share in the consolidated statement of income.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Subsequent Events
Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Company’s financial position at the balance sheet date
(adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting
events are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when material.
3.
MANAGEMENT’S USE OF JUDGMENT AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared under PFRS require management to make judgments and
estimates that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Future events may
occur which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any
change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as they become reasonably
determinable.
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.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from
those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial
statements.
Leases. The evaluation whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on its substance. An arrangement is, or contains a
lease when the fulfillment of the arrangement depends on a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys the right to
use the asset.
The Company has entered into operating lease arrangements as a lessor and as a lessee. The Company, as a lessee, has
determined that the lessor retains substantial risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are on operating lease
agreements. As a lessor, the Company retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets.
The Company has also entered into finance lease agreements covering certain property and equipment. The Company has
determined that it bears substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of said properties which are on finance
lease agreements.
The carrying amount of property and equipment under finance lease amounted to P
=175 million and P
=177 million as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 9).
Determination of Functional Currency. Below are the functional currencies of the foreign subsidiaries based on the economic
substance of the underlying circumstance relevant to the Company:
Subsidiary
ABS-CBN Australia
ABS-CBN Middle East
ABS-CBN Europe
Functional Currency
Australian Dollar
Great Britain Pound
The functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. It
is the currency that mainly influences the revenue from and cost of rendering services.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. PFRS requires that certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments)
be carried at fair value, which requires the use of accounting estimates and judgment. While significant components of fair
value measurement are determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e. foreign exchange rates, interest rates, volatility
rates), the timing and amount of changes in fair value would differ using a different valuation methodology. Any change in the
fair values of financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) directly affect the consolidated statement of
income and equity.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are set out in Note 26.
Financial Assets not Quoted in an Active Market. The Company classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether
the asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financial asset is quoted in an active
market is the determination on whether quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and whether those prices represent
actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
Estimates
The key assumptions concerning future and other key sources of estimation at the balance sheet date, that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level considered adequate
to provide for potentially uncollectible receivables. The level of allowance is evaluated by management based on experience
and other factors that may affect the recoverability of these assets. If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss on
trade and other receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the 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
shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The allowance is established by charges to income in
the form of provision for doubtful accounts. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would therefore differ
based on the judgments or estimates made. An increase in provision for doubtful accounts would increase the Company’s
recorded expenses and decrease current assets.
Provision for doubtful accounts amounted to P
= 94 million in 2006, P
= 160 million in 2005 and P
= 164 million in 2004
(see Note 20). Trade and other receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to P
= 4,383 million and
P
= 4,652 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 6). Allowance for doubtful accounts as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
= 551 million and P
= 599 million, respectively (see Note 6).
Net Realizable Value of Inventories.
Inventories are carried at net realizable value whenever net realizable value of
inventories becomes lower than cost due to damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or
other causes. The allowance account is reviewed on a regular basis to reflect the accurate valuation in the financial
records. Inventory items identified to be obsolete and unusable are written off and charged as expense in the period such
losses are identified.
Inventories at net realizable value, amounted to P
= 207 million and P
= 139 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively (see Note 7).
Estimated Useful Lives. The useful life of each of the Company’s property and equipment and intangible assets with definite life
is estimated based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use. Estimation for property and
equipment is based on a collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar
assets while for intangible assets with definite life, estimated life is based on the life of agreement covering such intangibles.
The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed periodically and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due
to physical wear and tear or other limits on the use of the asset. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could
be materially affected by changes in the amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factors
mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful life of any property and equipment or intangible assets would increase
the recorded expenses and decrease noncurrent assets.
The carrying values of property and equipment and intangible assets with definite life are as follows (see Notes 9 and 10):
Property and equipment - net
Program rights
Production and distribution business - Middle East
Movie in-process
Story, music and publication rights
Video rights and record master

Impairment of Available-for-sale Equity Investments. The Company treats available-for-sale equity investments as impaired
when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where there are objective evidence of
impairment exists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgment. The Company treats ‘significant’
generally as 20% or more of the original cost of investment, and ‘prolonged’ as greater than 6 months. In addition, the
Company evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future cash flows and
discount factors for unquoted equities.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, available-for-sale investments are carried at P
=68 million and P
=47 million, respectively
(see Note 11).
Asset Retirement Obligation.
Determining asset retirement obligation requires estimation of the costs of dismantling
installations and restoring leased properties to their original condition. While it is believed that the assumptions used in the
estimation of such costs are reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the recorded expense
or obligation in future periods.
Asset retirement obligation amounted to P
=17 million and P
=2 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax assets to be utilized. However, there is no assurance that sufficient taxable profit will be generated to allow all or part of the
deferred tax assets to be utilized.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
= 193 million and P
= 124 million,
respectively. Net recognized deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
= 302 million and
P
Present Value of Pension Obligation. The cost of defined benefit obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. The
actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assts, future salary
increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are
subject to uncertainty.
The expected rate of return on plan assets was based on average historical premium on plan assets. The assumed
discount rates were determined using the market yields on Philippine bonds with terms consistent with the expected
employee benefit payout as of statements of income dates (see Note 23).
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the present value of the pension obligation of the Company amounted to
P
= 845 million and P
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, unrecognized net actuarial gain (loss) amounted to (P
= 390 million) and P
= 34 million,
respectively (see Note 23).
Impairment of Non-financial Assets.
The Company assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the group considers
important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
§
§
§
significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and
significant negative industry or economic trends.
The Company recognizes an impairment loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds it recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is computed using the value in use approach. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets
or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Noncurrent assets that are subjected to impairment testing when impairment indicators are present and annually for those
intangibles with indefinite useful lives are as follows:
Program rights
Cable channels - CPI
Production and distribution business - Middle East
Long-term receivables from a related party
Property and equipment - net
Tax credits
No impairment loss for noncurrent assets was recognized in 2006 and 2005.

Impairment of Goodwill. The Parent Company’s management conducts an annual review for any impairment in value of the
goodwill. The impairment on the goodwill is determined by comparing: (a) the carrying value of goodwill; and (b) the present
value of the annual projected cash flows for five years and the present value of the terminal value computed under the
discounted cash flow method. Refer to Note 12 for the key assumptions used in the impairment test of goodwill.
The carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
=23 million included in “Other noncurrent
assets - net” account under “Deferred charges and others” in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 11).
No impairment loss was recognized in 2006 and 2005.
Contingencies. The Company is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The Company’s estimate of the probable
costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling defense in these
matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Company currently does not believe these proceedings will
have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. It is possible, however, that
future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of strategies
relating to these proceedings (see Note 29).

SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information is prepared on the following bases:
Business Segments
For management purposes, the Company is organized into three business activities - broadcasting, cable and satellite,
and other businesses. This segmentation is the basis upon which the Company reports its primary segment information.
The broadcasting segment is principally the television and radio broadcasting activities which generates revenue from
sale of national and regional advertising time. Cable and satellite business primarily develops and produces programs for
cable television, including delivery of television programming outside the Philippines through its DTH satellite service,
cable television channels and blocked time on television stations. Other businesses include movie production, consumer
products and services.
Geographical Segments
Although the Company is organized into three business activities, they operate in three major geographical areas. In the
Philippines, its home country, the Company is involved in broadcasting, cable operations and other businesses. In the
United States and other locations (which includes Middle East, Europe and Australia), the Company operates its cable
and satellite operations to bring television programming outside the Philippines.
Inter-segment Transactions
Segment revenue, segment expenses and segment results include transfers among business segments and among
geographical segments. Such transfers are accounted for at competitive market prices charged to unaffiliated customers
for similar services. Those transfers are eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segment Data

LONG-TERM RECEIVABLE FROM A RELATED PARTY
On June 30, 2004, Sky Vision and Central CATV, Inc. (“Central” or “Issuer”) issued a convertible note (note) to the Parent
Company amounting to US$30 million equivalent to P
= 1,579 million and P
= 1,576 million as of December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively. The Parent Company’s long-term receivable from Sky Vision, includes accrued interest receivable of
P
= 459 million and P
= 344 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The note is subject to interest of 13%
compounded annually and matured on June 30, 2006. The principal and accrued interest as of maturity date shall be
mandatorily converted, based on the prevailing U.S. Dollar to Philippine Peso exchange rate on Maturity Date, at a
conversion price equivalent to a twenty percent (20%) discount of: (a) the market value of the Shares, in the event of a
public offering of the Issuer before Maturity Date; (b) the valuation of the Shares by an independent third party appraiser
that is a recognized banking firm, securities underwriter or one of the big three international accounting firms or their
Philippine affiliate jointly appointed by the Lopez and Benpres Holdings Corporation (Benpres Group) and Philippine Long
Distance Telephone Company and Mediaquest Holdings, Inc. (PLDT Group) pursuant to the Master Consolidation
Agreement (MCA) (see Note 11) dated July 18, 2001 as amended or supplemented.
As of December 31, 2006, the conversion price has not been determined. Based on the provisions of the convertible
note, its conversion cannot be completed without the determination of the conversion price, which in turn depends on the
valuation of Sky Vision or Central, by an independent third party. Consequently, ABS-CBN cannot convert the notes
without such valuation. The conversion date was effectively extended since the conversion price was not fixed on
June 30, 2006. The conversion date will effectively be the date when the conversion price will be set. ABS-CBN will gain
control of Sky Vision upon their conversion of the convertible note. Consequently, the voting rights on the underlying
shares are retained by the original shareholders and ABS-CBN has no right to exercise such voting rights.
The convertible note does not specifically state that interest shall accrue after June 30, 2006 in the event that the
convertible note is not converted for any reason. Thus, no interest was charged after June 30, 2006.
Prior to the issuance of the convertible note, Sky Vision, Central and The Philippine Home Cable Holdings, Inc. (Home)
had trade and advances payable to its shareholders in the Benpres Group and the PLDT Group, respectively. Upon
receipt of the proceeds of the note, Sky Vision, Central and Home prioritized the servicing of its outstanding payables to
third-party suppliers and creditors, as well as new payables due to CPI. As a result, these companies did not service
payables to its existing shareholders outstanding as of June 30, 2004. Included in the amounts left unpaid were CPI's
receivable from Central of around P
= 437 million. Subject to approval of its creditors, the Parent Company intends to
include CPI's receivable in the above equity conversion in Sky Vision under the same terms of the note.
On January 11, 2007, the Parent Company signed a commitment letter with ABN Amro Bank N.V., BPI Capital
Corporation and ING Bank N.V. (together, the Mandated Lead Arrangers) to arrange and underwrite on a firm
commitment basis the refinancing/restructuring of the existing long-term loan. Consequently, the execution copies of the
agreement amending the Senior Credit Agreement (SCA) facility was signed on March 27, 2007. It provides a carve out
allowing P
= 437 million in receivables of CPI from Central to be converted into equity. This shall effectively supersede the
consent requirement under the old facility.
As of December 31, 2006, equity in net losses amounting to P
= 52 million has been credited against the “Long-term
receivable from a related party” account in the consolidated balance sheet.

The cable channels, namely, Lifestyle Channel, Cinema One and Myx Channel, were acquired by CPI from Sky Vision in
2001. Based on the Company’s analysis of all the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which
this business is expected to generate net cash inflows for the Company and therefore, assessed to have an indefinite life.
As at December 31, 2006 and 2005, cable channels were tested for impairment (see Note 12).
Production and distribution business for the Middle East operations represents payments arising from the sponsorship
agreement between Arab Digital Distribution (ADD) and ABS-CBN Middle East. This agreement grants the Company the
right to operate in the Middle East with ADD as sponsor for a period of 25 years.

On July 18, 2001, the Parent Company, along with the Benpres Group signed an MCA whereby they agreed with the
PLDT Group to consolidate their respective ownership or otherwise their rights and interests in Sky Vision and Unilink
Communications Corporation (Unilink) under a holding company to be established for that purpose. Beyond Cable
Holdings, Inc. (Beyond) was incorporated on December 7, 2001 as the holding company. Sky Vision owns Central and
Pilipino Cable Corporation (PCC), which in turn operate cable television systems in Metro Manila and key provincial areas
under the tradenames “Sky Cable” and “Sun Cable”. Unilink owns Home, which operates cable television systems in
Metro Manila and key provincial areas under the tradename “Home Cable”.
Pursuant to the MCA, the Benpres Group and the PLDT Groups shall, respectively, own 66.5% and 33.5% of Beyond
upon the transfer of their respective ownership and rights and interests in Sky Vision and Unilink into Beyond. Although
the original MCA envisioned the transfer to be completed within six months from signing date, or by January 18, 2002, the
Benpres Group and PLDT Group agreed on January 16, 2002, to extend this closing date.
In view of the above, in a separate Memorandum of Agreement (Agreement) executed on April 8, 2004, the major
stockholders of Home and Sky Vision have agreed to consolidate the ownership of their respective shares in Home and
Sky Vision and to combine the operations, assets and liabilities of Home and the Central. To effect the consolidation,
Home transferred its assets and liabilities to Central in exchange for a 33% ownership. The issuance of shares was
approved by the SEC on August 30, 2004.
It is a plan to transfer Sky Vision’s Minority Shareholders (Sky Vision Minority) to Central to put into effect in Central what
was originally intended for Beyond. With this transfer and as stipulated in the MCA, the Sky Vision Minority shall hold
17.3% of Central while Sky Vision will hold 55% and Home holding the balance of 27.7%. Barring any unforeseen
impediments, it is expected that the transfer of the Sky Vision Minority to Central will be completed in 2007.
In relation to the consolidation discussed above, a competitor broadcasting company filed a case before National
Telecommunications Commission (NTC) asking for NTC to declare as null and void the consolidation of the cable
operating companies. On November 16, 2004, the NTC denied the motion for cease and desist order filed by the
competitor broadcasting company. On November 30, 2004, the competitor broadcasting company filed a motion for
reconsideration which is still pending with the NTC. It is the opinion of Sky Vision’s legal counsels that the case filed by
the competitor broadcasting company is without legal basis.
In November 2005, Sky Vision met with its creditors to request for an extension of the grace period on its long-term debt
for another five (5) years, with principal amortization to start in 2011. The creditors have already formed a steering
committee to address the request of Sky Vision.
In September 2006, Central paid a token payment amounting to P
= 5 million, upon which the principal payments due in
September 2006, December 2006 and March 2007 were deferred to be paid on June 2007. A second token payment
amounting to P
= 5 million should be paid upon finalization of the debt restructuring. As of March 28, 2007, negotiations are
still ongoing.
12. IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND CABLE CHANNELS
Cable channels of CPI amounted to P
= 460 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 (see Note 10).
Goodwill in investment in a subsidiary included under “Other noncurrent assets - net” account in the consolidated balance
sheets totaled P
= 23 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
For the impairment test of goodwill and cable channels, the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying
amount of the cash-generating unit was compared. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is its value-inuse. Value-in-use was determined using cash flow projections which were based on financial budgets approved by the
subsidiaries’ senior management covering a five-year period. The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 is 15.22% and 21.1%, respectively, while cash flows beyond the 5-year period are
extrapolated using a 0% perpetual growth rate in 2006 (5% in 2005) that is based on projected long-term inflation rate and
long-term real growth.
Key Assumptions
Following are the key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections to undertake impairment
testing of goodwill and cable channels:
Gross Revenues. On the average, gross revenues of the subsidiaries over the next five years were projected to grow in
line with the economy or with nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This assumes that the market share of the
subsidiaries in their respective industries will be flat on the assumption that the industries also grow at par with the
economy. Historically, advertising spending growth had a direct correlation with economic growth.
Operating Expenses.
Cash expenses of the subsidiaries particularly employee costs and general and administrative
expenses were projected to rise at an inflationary pace. On the other hand, production costs or cost of sales were
forecasted to increase in line with revenue growth.
Gross Margins. Increased efficiencies over the next five years are expected to result to some improvements in gross
margins.
Discount Rate. The discount rate or Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) was based on the cost of equity of the
Parent Company plus 2% for small size premium. The cost of equity was obtained from external data provider.

Bank Loans
This represents peso-denominated loans obtained from local banks which bear average annual interest rates of 10.28% in
2006 and 11.17% in 2005.
Term Loan under the SCA
On June 18, 2004, the Parent Company entered into a SCA with several foreign and local banks (Original Lenders) for a
US$120 million dual currency syndicated term loan facility for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness incurred
for the construction of the Eugenio Lopez, Jr. Communications Center, additional investment in the cable TV business and
funding capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The SCA is classified in three (3) groups namely: Tranche
A, a floating rate facility (3.5% + LIBOR) amounting to US$62 million; Tranche B, a floating rate facility (3.5% + MART1 Tbill) amounting to P
= 2,688 million; and, Tranche C, a fixed rate facility (3.5% + FXTN) amounting to P
= 560 million. Both
Tranche A and Tranche B have a term of five years with 17 quarterly unequal payments and Tranche C has a term of four
years with four annual unequal installments. These have all been availed of in March 2005. The Parent Company’s
obligation under the SCA is secured and covered by a Mortgage Trust Indenture (MTI) which consists of substantially all
of the Parent Company’s real property and moveable assets used in connection with its business and insurance proceeds
related thereto. Further, the Parent Company’s obligation under the SCA is jointly and severally guaranteed by its
principal subsidiaries.
The SCA contains provision regarding the maintenance of certain financial ratios and limiting, among others, the
incurrence of additional debt, the payment of dividends, making investments, the issuing or selling the Parent Company’s
capital stock or some of its subsidiaries, the selling or exchange of assets, creation of liens and effecting mergers. As of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Parent Company is in compliance with the provisions of the SCA.
As indicated in the SCA, all existing loans of the Parent Company outside the SCA were settled via proceeds of the term
loan facility.

To manage its exposures to foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks relating to the facility drawdowns, the
Parent Company entered into interest rate and cross currency swap contracts with counterparty banks (see Notes 25 and
26).
On January 11, 2007, the Parent Company signed a commitment letter with the Mandated Lead Arrangers to arrange and
underwrite on a firm commitment basis the refinancing/restructuring of the existing long-term loan. Consequently, the
execution copies of the agreement amending the SCA facility was signed on March 27, 2007. The major amendments to
the existing agreement that were agreed upon with the Mandated Lead Arrangers are as follows:
a.
There will be an additional amount that will be available for drawdown amounting to US$4,784 million. Once effected,
total outstanding loan will be around P
= 4,440 million, P
= 270 million more than the P
= 4,170 million that is currently
outstanding;
b.
The Tranche B and C will have bullet repayment schemes maturing in March 2012 while maintaining the original
structure of the Tranche A facility with a final due date of until June 2009. Interest payments will continue to be paid
on a quarterly basis;
c.
The applicable margins added to the benchmark interest rates will be reduced from 3.50% to an average of about
2.20%;
d.
Except for the Quezon City Broadcast Complex and certain broadcast machinery and equipment contained therein,
all other assets will be removed from the MTI and will no longer form part of the security package;
e.
Certain mandatory prepayment provisions will be removed;
f.
The Parent Company financial ratio requirement will be removed, while maintaining a financial ratio requirement on a
consolidated basis but at more relaxed thresholds;
g.
The Company will be allowed to make interest bearing advances and guarantees to Sky Vision of up to P
= 400 million;
h.
The Company will be allowed to convert into equity outstanding advances amounting to US$30 million including
interest and P
= 437 million, respectively made to Sky Vision by the Parent Company and CPI.

Industry rules allow ABS-CBN to sell up to 18 minutes of commercial spots per hour of television programming. These
spots are sold mainly through advertising agencies which act as the buying agents of advertisers, and to a lesser extent,
directly to advertisers. Substantially, all gross airtime revenue, including airtime sold directly to advertisers, is subject to a
standard 15% agency commission.
Incentives include early payment and early placement discount as well as commissions paid to the Company’s account
executives and cable operators.
The Company has co-produced shows which are programs produced by ABS-CBN together with independent producers.
Under this arrangement, ABS-CBN provides the technical facilities and airtime, and handles the marketing of the shows.
The co-producer shoulders all other costs of production. The revenue earned on these shows is shared between
ABS-CBN and the co-producer.

The Company’s pension plan is composed of funded (Parent Company) and unfunded (Subsidiaries), noncontributory and
actuarially computed pension plan except for ABS-CBN International (unfunded and contributory) covering substantially all
of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation during the last year of employment.
In 2005, the Company implemented an Early Retirement Program. The employees availed this program from July to
December 2005. Total retrenchment cost amounted to P
= 576 million, net of recognized curtailment gain of P

24. COMMITMENTS
Deal Memorandum with DirecTV
On June 1, 2005, the Parent Company and ABS-CBN International entered in to a 25-year Deal Memorandum
(Memorandum) with DirecTV in which the Parent Company granted DirecTV the exclusive right via satellite, internet
protocol technology and satellite master antenna television system or similar system, to display, exhibit, perform and
distribute certain programs of the Parent Company that are listed in the Memorandum. ABS-CBN International may
engage in any marketing plan mutually agreed by both parties and DirecTV may engage in ABS-CBN International. All
costs under any mutually agreed marketing plans shall be shared equally between DirecTV and ABS-CBN International.
As provided in the Memorandum, all rights, title and interest in and to the content, discrete programs or channels not
granted to DirecTV are expressly reserved by the Parent Company. All programming decisions with respect to the
programs shall be in the Parent Company’s commercially reasonable discretion, including the substitution or withdrawal of
any scheduled programs, provided that the Parent Company agrees that the programs will consist substantially the same
content and genre provided for in the Memorandum.
The Memorandum also provides for the following license fees to be paid by DirecTV to the Parent Company:
a.
A license fee for each existing DTH subscriber of ABS-CBN International or new subscribers who becomes an
activated subscriber during the migration period (from June 2005 to February 2006); and
b.
An additional license fee for each activated subscriber who becomes an activated subscriber during the migration
period that remains a subscriber for 14 consecutive months.
The Memorandum also provides that subscription revenues, computed as the current and stand alone retail price per
month for a subscription to the TFC channel multiplied by the average number of subscribers, shall be divided equally
between DirecTV and ABS-CBN International.
Starting July 2005, existing DTH subscribers of ABS-CBN International have been migrating to DirecTV. License fee
earned from DirecTV amounted to P
= 1,117 million in 2006 and P
= 1,619 million in 2005. ABS-CBN International’s share in
the subscription revenues earned from subscribers that have migrated to DirecTV amounted to P
= 616 million in 2006 and
P
= 93 million in 2005.
On January 17, 2006, the Parent Company and DirecTV agreed to amend the Memorandum entered in June 1, 2005 that
includes among others the extension of the migration period from February 2006 to August 2006.

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise bank loans, finance leases and cash and
short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise funds for the Company’s operations. The
Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise
directly from its operations.
The Company also enters into derivative transactions, including principally interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.
The purpose is to manage the interest rate and currency risks arising from the Company’s operations and its sources of
finance.
It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Company’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall
be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign
currency risk and credit risk. The BOD reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are
summarized below. The Parent Company’s accounting policies in relation to derivatives are set out in Note 2.
Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term
debt obligations with a floating interest rate.
To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, the Company enters into interest rate swaps, in which the Company
agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by
reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated to hedge underlying debt
obligations. After taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 52% in 2006 and 45% in 2005 of the
Company’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest.
Interest Rate Risk
The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the Company’s consolidated financial instruments that are
exposed to interest rate risk:

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year. Interest on
financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until the maturity of the instrument. The other financial instruments of
the Company that are not included in the above tables are noninterest-bearing and are therefore not subject to interest
rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s primary exposure to the risk in changes in foreign currency relates to the Company’s long-term debt
obligation. Approximately 50% of these obligations are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of
the operating unit.
The Company enters into cross currency swaps, to manage this risk and eliminate the variability of cash flows due to
changes in the fair value of the foreign-currency-denominated debt maturing more than 1 year.
Other than the debt obligations, the Company has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises when the
transaction is denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit or the counterparty.
Credit Risk
The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. Customers who wish to trade on credit terms are
subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the
result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash
equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and certain derivative instruments, the Company’s exposure to credit risk
arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
Since the Company trades only with recognized third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.
The Company does not have significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity Risk
The Company seeks to manage its liquid funds through cash planning on a weekly basis. The Company uses historical
figures and forecasts from its collection and disbursements. As part of its liquidity risk management, the Company
regularly evaluates its projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets
for opportunities to pursue fund raising activities. Also, the Company only places funds in the money market which
exceeded the Company’s requirements. Placements are strictly made based on cash planning assumptions and covers
only a short period of time.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for
which it is practicable to estimate such value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables and Trade and Other Payables. Due to the short-term nature of
transactions, the fair values of these instruments approximate the carrying amount as of balance sheet date.
Available-for-sale Investments. The fair values of publicly-traded instruments were determined by reference to market bid
quotes as of balance sheet date. Investments in unquoted equity securities for which no reliable basis for fair value
measurement is available are carried at cost net of impairment.
Long-term Receivable from a Related Party. This is, in substance, equity instruments and, as such, are carried at cost.
Obligations for Program Rights. Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the
applicable risk-free rates for similar types of loans adjusted for credit risk.
Interest-bearing Loans and Borrowings. Fair value was computed based on the following:
Term loan
Other variable rate loans
Fair Value Assumptions
Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using
the applicable risk-free rates for similar types of loans adjusted for credit risk.
The interest rates used to discount the future cash flows have ranged from 4.3%
to 5.4% for those that are dollar-denominated and from 4.4% to 12.5% for those
that are peso-denominated.
The face value approximates fair value because of recent and frequent repricing
(i.e., 3 months) based on market conditions.
Principal-only Swaps and Interest Rate Swaps. The fair values were computed as the present value of estimated future
cash flows.
Bifurcated Foreign Currency Forwards.
The fair values of embedded foreign currency forwards were calculated by
reference to forward exchange market rate at balance sheet date.
Derivative Instruments
Cross Currency Swaps. In 2004, the Parent Company entered into long-term cross currency swaps that hedge 100% of
the Tranche A Principal against foreign exchange risk. The long-term principal-only currency swaps have an aggregate
notional amount of US$42 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and a weighted average swap rate of P
= 56.01 to
US$1. Under these agreements, the Parent Company effectively swaps the principal amount of certain US dollardenominated loans under the SCA into Philippine peso-denominated loans with payments up to June 2009.
The Company is also obligated to pay swap costs based on a fixed rate of 8.0% on a notional amount of P
= 353 million,
5.125% on a notional amount of P
= 55 million, 3-month PHIREF minus 2.9% on a notional amount of P
= 2 billion and 3-month
PHIREF minus 3.1% on a notional amount of P
= 264 million.
Currently, the aggregate notional amount is 13% more than the underlying debt instrument. This is a result of a portion of
the cross currency swap not being unwound when the company prepaid a portion of the loan in 2006. The excess is
currently marked to market and directly reported to the profit and loss.
The execution copies of the agreement amending the SCA facility, will allow the reinstatement of the amount prepaid in
2006. While this will cure the current over-hedge position of the underlying instrument, the mark to market gain or loss
that may be derived will continue to be immediately reported to the profit and loss until it matures in June 2009.
Interest Rate Swaps. To manage the interest rate exposure from the floating rate loans, the Company also entered into
USD interest rate swaps and PHP interest rate swaps which effectively swap certain floating rate loans into fixed-rate
loans. These USD interest rate swaps and PHP interest rate swaps have an aggregate outstanding notional amount of
US$32 million and P
= 394 million as of December 31, 2005, respectively, with payments up to September 2006 and March
2008.
As of December 31, 2006, the USD interest rate swaps have an aggregate outstanding notional amount of
US$19.4 million, while the PHP interest rate swaps have matured in September 2006.
The terms of the USD and PHP interest rate swap agreements are as follows:

Hedge Accounting Implications of Swaps. The Parent Company’s principal-only currency swaps and USD interest rate
swap are designated as cash flow hedges on October 1, 2005, to manage the Parent Company’s exposure to variability in
cash flows attributable to foreign exchange and interest rate risks of the underlying debt obligations. Since the critical
terms of the swaps and the outstanding debt obligations coincide, the hedges are expected to exactly offset changes in
expected cash flows due to fluctuations in foreign exchange and the prime rate over the term of the debt obligations.
From October 1, 2005 up to December 31, 2005, the effective net mark-to-market losses that have been deferred in
equity for these cash flow hedges amounted to P
= 53 million (P
= 34 million, net of tax). Prior to designation as cash flow
hedges, the principal-only currency swaps accounted for mark-to-market losses in the consolidated statement of income
of about P
= 32 million (net of P
= 316 million gain on the swap differentials), while the USD interest rate swap accounted for
mark-to-market gains in the consolidated statement of income of P
= 48 million.
The effective net mark-to-market losses that have been deferred in equity for these cash flow hedges amounted to
P
= 249 million (P
= 163 million, net of tax) in 2006.
As part of the transition adjustments as of January 1, 2005, the Company initially recognized an aggregate amount of
P
= 117 million (P
= 76 million net of tax), representing the fair value for the principal-only currency swaps (net of the impact of
the foreign exchange restatement) and the USD and PHP interest rate swaps. This amount is initially recorded as a credit
adjustment in CTA (‘initial CTA’) and will be amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the
underlying related loans. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the amortization of the initial CTA amounted
to P
= 31 million and P
= 32 million, respectively and is recorded as a reduction in interest expense (see Note 21).
In 2006, the Company made a reassessment of its outstanding cross currency swap and interest rate swap. The
valuation of each swap transaction was remeasured to confirm with the values derived by each of the counterparties to
the hedges. This recalibration resulted in the increase of the derivative liability and decrease of the derivative asset by
P
= 105 million and P
= 26 million, respectively in 2006. The aggregate total of P
= 132 million was then recorded in equity and
will be transferred to the consolidated statement of income when the hedge transaction affects profit or loss.
Embedded Derivatives. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has outstanding embedded foreign currency
derivatives which were bifurcated from various non-financial contracts. The impact of these embedded derivatives is not
significant.
As discussed in Note 8, the Parent Company has a receivables from Sky Vision that is convertible into the latter’s
common share, which are not quoted in an active market. The conversion option embedded in the receivable is not
separately accounted for as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss. The entire receivable from Sky Vision is
reported at cost subject to impairment.

27. EPS COMPUTATIONS
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate EPS:
(a) Net income attributable to equity holders of parent
(b) Weighted average shares outstanding
At beginning of year

29. OTHER MATTERS
a.
In 1972, the Parent Company discontinued its operations when the government took possession of its property and
equipment. In the succeeding years, the property and equipment were used without compensation to the Parent
Company by Radio Philippines Network, Inc. (RPN) from 1972 to 1979, and Maharlika Broadcasting System (MBS)
from 1980 to 1986. A substantial portion of these property and equipment was also used from 1986 to 1992 without
compensation to the Parent Company by People’s Television 4, another government entity. In 1986, the Parent
Company resumed commercial operations and was granted temporary permits by the government to operate several
television and radio stations.
The Parent Company, together with Chronicle Broadcasting System, filed a civil case on January 14, 1988 against
Ferdinand E. Marcos and his family, RPN, MBS, et. al, before the Sandiganbayan to press collection of the unpaid
rentals for the use of its facilities from September 1972 to February 1986 totaling P
= 305,400 plus legal interest
compounded quarterly and exemplary damages of P
= 100,000.
The BOD resolved on June 27, 1991 to declare as scrip dividends, in favor of all stockholders of record as of that
date, whatever amount that may be recovered from the foregoing pending claims and the rentals subsequently
settled in 1995. The scrip dividends were declared on March 29, 2000. In 2003, additional scrip dividends of
P
= 13,290 were recognized for the said stockholders.
On April 28, 1995, the Parent Company and the government entered into a compromise settlement of rental claims
from 1986 to 1992. The compromise agreement includes payment to the Parent Company of P
= 29,914 (net of the
government’s counterclaim against the Parent Company of P
= 67,586) by way of tax credits or other forms of noncash
settlement as full and final settlement of the rentals from 1986 to 1992. The TCCs were issued in 1998.
b.
The Company has contingent liabilities with respect to claims and lawsuits filed by third parties. The events that
transpired last February 4, 2006, which resulted in the death of 71 people and injury to about 200 others led the
Company to shoulder the burial expenses of the dead and medical expenses of the injured, which did not result in
any direct or contingent financial obligation that is material to the Company. The Company has settled all of the
funeral and medical expenses of the victims of the tragedy. Given the income flows and net asset base of the
Company, said expenses do not constitute a material financial obligation of the Company, as the Company remains
in sound financial position to meet its obligations.
As of March 28, 2007, the claims in connection with the events of February 4, 2006 are still pending and remain
contingent liabilities. While the funeral and medical expenses have all been shouldered by the Company, there still
exist claims for compensation for the deaths and injuries upon evaluation of these claims, the amount of which have
not been declared and cannot be determined with certainty at this time. Management is nevertheless of the opinion
that should there be any adverse judgment based on these claims, this will not materially affect the Company’s
financial position and results of operations.
c.
Accrued pension obligation in the 2005 consolidated financial statements was reclassified from “Trade and other
payables” account to noncurrent liabilities to conform to the 2006 presentation.
