I. BUSINESS
(A)
Description of Business
(1)
Business Development
Philtrust Bank, also known as Philippine Trust Company, was established on
October 21, 1916 and will celebrate its 99th anniversary this year. It is the second
oldest private commercial bank in the country. On June 5, 2007, the Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas granted Philtrust Bank authority to operate as a universal bank.
Throughout its 99 years in banking, Philtrust Bank has acquired a reputation
for conservatism and reliability and has enjoyed the trust and confidence of the
business community and the general public. With this policy as its guiding principle
throughout its banking history, the Bank has grown steadily since its establishment.
Philtrust Bank has been consistently rated as one of the most outstanding
banks in the country for its liquid position. It has not borrowed nor availed of any
rediscounting facility from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas or other banks, instead it
has been a consistent lender to these institutions.
The principal office is located at Philtrust Bank Building, 1000 United Nations
Avenue corner San Marcelino Street, Manila. Aside from the Head Office, the Bank
has a network of fifty-eight (58) branches including the Santiago City Branch located
at Philtrust Building, Maharlika Highway corner Abueg Street, Santiago City, Isabela,
which opened on June 6, 2014, and Marikina City Branch located at Philtrust
Building, Sumulong Highway corner P. Burgos Street, Marikina City, which opened
on March 20, 2015.
The Bank looks forward to buying or leasing suitable locations in Metro
Manila and in other key cities and provinces to augment its 58 branches, 39 of which
are located in Metro Manila while 19 are in the provinces, and to optimize its market
presence and service availability felt in major financial, commercial and population
centers in the country. Greater emphasis is being given to regional operations and
financing of priority industries supportive of national economic growth.
The Bank does not anticipate any material reclassification, merger,
consolidation or purchase/sale of a significant amount of its assets outside the course
of its business.
Having officially listed on February 17, 1988, Philtrust Bank is one of the first
few banks that traded their shares in the then Manila Stock Exchange and Makati
Stock Exchange, presently known as the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE). Its
25th anniversary as a listed company was recognized in a fitting ceremony held at the
PSE trading floor on February 26, 2013 attended by its Chairman and President Dr.
Jaime C. Laya, Vice Chairmen Justice Josue N. Bellosillo and Basilio C. Yap,
Director Dr. Johnny C. Yap and Director/Corporate Secretary Martin B. Isidro, and
PSE Officers.

Business of Issuer
The Bank offers domestic, international and trust services. Domestic services
include checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposits, money market
placements, business loans, transfer of funds and collections, remittances, securities
investments and safety deposit boxes. International transactions involve commercial
letters of credit, collections and remittances, foreign exchange, traveler’s checks and
FCDU transactions. Trust operations include trust placement, investment
management, estate administration/trustee of bond issues, savings and pension plan
administration, insurance trust, and acting as escrow agent and stock registrar and
transfer agent.
On June 5, 2007, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas granted the Bank authority
to operate as a universal bank. The Securities and Exchange Commission approved
the registration of the Bank’s Amended Articles of Incorporation, with powers among
others, to engage in the business of expanded commercial banking as a universal
bank, to carry on the business of a trust company, exercise the powers of investment
houses as provided in pertinent laws and the power and authority to invest in the
equity of allied and non-allied corporations, businesses or undertakings, and to
perform such other acts and functions as may be permitted by law.
On October 14, 2014 and November 19, 2014, the BSP and SEC, respectively,
approved the extension of the Bank’s corporate life for another fifty (50) years from
and after October 21, 2016, thereby amending Article FOURTH of the Bank’s
Articles of Incorporation.
The establishment of Muralla Grande, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Bank was approved by the Board of Directors on October 21, 2014. The
registration of its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws was approved by SEC on
November 28, 2014.
The percentage of sales and net income of the Bank contributed by foreign
sales are as follows:

1.28%
The above-mentioned exchange profits/loss, net income and percentages
represent the consolidated sales of US Dollars, a significant percentage of which were
made to the Asian and European markets in that order.
In order to achieve better market access, the Bank has put up forty (40) on-site
Automated Teller Machines (ATM) distributed at its Head Office and branches and
eighteen (18) off-site ATMs as of December 31, 2014. The full computerization of all
branches will soon be in place.
4
These significant steps were taken by the Bank to serve the needs of its broadbased clientele.
The Bank’s principal competitors are the other universal and commercial
banks particularly those located within its vicinity.
The Bank's guiding principle which through the years has enabled the Bank to
effectively compete in the industry is principally anchored on conservatism,
efficiency and personalized service to its clients thereby gaining their trust,
confidence and continued patronage. It has proven to be an effective means of
generating more business and of making the Bank a worthy participant in the financial
community.
The Bank's operations have never been dependent on transactions with related
parties, or upon a single customer/client or a few customers/clients. No single
customer/client or group of clients accounts for twenty percent (20%) or more of the
Bank’s business operations.
Other than the licenses issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Bank's operations do not depend
on any other patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, franchises, concessions or
royalties.
The Bank is not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations
which will have a material effect on its business.
For the last three (3) fiscal years, the Bank has adequately invested on research
and development activities. The Directors and Key Officers have actively participated
in relevant seminars, trainings and conventions.
There was no matter submitted to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014.
By year-end, manpower complement reached 745 consisting of 396 officers
and 349 rank-and-file employees. The Bank continues to pursue manpower
recruitment to effectively bring itself closer to clients by rendering efficient and
prompt services. Within the ensuing twelve (12) months, based on the number of new
branches that would be opened in 2015 and the previous years’ experience, the Bank
anticipates manpower to increase by at least 50 personnel for a projected total of 795,
consisting of 406 officers and 389 rank and file employees.
A collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was executed between the
Management and the Union on October 22, 2014 covering a five-year period from
January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019.
5
The Bank maintains a plan for the retirement, death, disability and separation
of all its regular employees. The plan is being funded by the contributions of the
employees and the Bank.
The Bank gives a percentual bonus or profit sharing equivalent to ten percent
(10%) of the total yearly net profits of the Corporation before payment of income tax
which is distributed as follows: 4% to employees; 4% to officers and 2% to directors
as an incentive to them to help promote the business of the corporation. This is
provided for in the By-Laws.
Outstanding Warrants or Options
The Bank has no information on any outstanding warrant or option held by its
directors or officers.
Major Risks
As a conservatively managed institution, Bank Management believes that no
potential risk could affect the Bank’s liquidity or profitability. In particular, the loan
portfolio is sound and adequately secured. Available cash and assets are more than
sufficient to meet client requirements and other possible needs.
Risks from market, liquidity and credit considerations are constantly
monitored by management and the Board of Directors. These are kept to a minimum
with the establishment of prudent approval limits and careful day-to-day management
to ensure compliance with established controls and procedures and that target
performance levels are achieved and even exceeded.
Approved policy and procedure are constantly reviewed and strengthened,
involving legal, compliance, operations, operations/transactions processing, cash
accountability or management, accounting and financial, settlement, systems and
technology matters, with the aim of reducing to a minimum quantifiable and nonquantifiable risks.
Bank experience and the best practices of other institutions are routinely
evaluated as basis for improving the Bank’s risk management practices, including risk
objectives, policies, controls and reports, and detailed procedures.

The Bank had not undertaken any transaction during the last two (2) years
involving directly the material interest of any director, executive officer or
stockholder owning ten percent (10%) or more of total issued and outstanding shares,
and members of their immediate family. The Bank, however, in the ordinary course

making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if
they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
As indicated in the Notes to Financial Statements, the Bank’s transactions

investment in shares of stock, savings and current deposits, advertising services and
advances to a subsidiary.
These transactions were made in the ordinary course of business and on
substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other parties. These transactions also did not involve more than the
normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable condition. They were duly
approved by the Board of Directors and where applicable, reported to the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas.

PHILTRUST BANK (PHILIPPINE TRUST COMPANY) AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Reporting Entity
Philtrust Bank (Philippine Trust Company) (the “Parent Bank”) is one of the oldest private
commercial banks in the Philippines. Founded on October 21, 1916, the Bank’s history
parallels the growth of the Philippine banking system.
The Parent Bank was conferred full universal bank status on June 5, 2007. Its principal
activities are commercial and investment banking. It offers domestic, international and trust
services. Its domestic services are: savings, checking and time deposits, money market
placements, business loans, remittances, fund transfer, safety deposit services and securities

machines (ATMs): 40 on-site distributed at its head office and branches and 17 off-site as at
December 31, 2014.
The Parent Bank also provides investments management, estate administration, escrow

services.
On November 27, 2014, the Parent Bank established Muralla Grande, Inc. (MGI), as a whollyowned subsidiary. MGI is primarily engaged in the real estate acquisitions and development.
As at December 31, 2014, the MGI has not yet started its commercial operations.
The financial position and results of operations of the Parent Bank and its subsidiary
(collectively referred to as the “Group”) are consolidated in these financial statements.
The Parent Bank’s principal office is located at 1000 United Nation Avenue corner San
Marcelino St., Manila. It has 745 employees as at December 31, 2014 (2013 - 718 employees)
The subsidiary referred to in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and its
registered business activities and other information are discussed in Note 3.
These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the
Board of Directors (BOD) on March 24, 2015.
2. Basis of Preparation
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS), which includes all applicable PFRS,
Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), and interpretations issued by the Philippine
Interpretations Committee (PIC), Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), and International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council (FRSC) and adopted by the SEC.
These consolidated financial statements are the Group’s first consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale (AFS) investments.
Functional and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the
functional and presentation currency of the Group. All values are rounded off to the nearest
thousands, except as otherwise indicated.
Presentation of Financial Statements
The Group presents its consolidated statements of financial position broadly in order of
liquidity.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any
future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical
judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements are in Note 4.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Adoption of New and Revised Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations
The Financial Reporting Standards Council approved the adoption of new and revised
standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations issued by the PIC and IFRIC as part of
PFRS.
Amendments to Standards and New Interpretation adopted in 2014.
The following amendments to standards have been adopted by the Group effective
January 1, 2014 and may have a material impact on the Group:

PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation - Asset and Liability Offsetting.
These amendments are to the application guidance in PAS 32, Financial Instruments:
Presentation, and clarify some of the requirements of offsetting financial assets and financial
liabilities on the statements of financial position.

PAS 36 (Amendment), Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for
Non-financial Assets. This amendment removed certain disclosures of the recoverable
amount of cash-generating units (CGUs) which had been included in PAS 36 by the issue of
PFRS 13.
-2-

PFRS 10, 12, and PAS 27 (Amendment), Consolidation for Investment Entities. These
amendments mean that many funds and similar entities will be exempt from consolidating
most of their subsidiaries. Instead, they will measure them at fair value through profit or
loss. The amendments give an exception to entities that meet an ‘investment entity’
definition and which display particular characteristics. Changes have also been made in
PFRS 12 to introduce disclosures that an investment entity needs to make.
The Group also adopted all other issued and effective new and revised standards, amendments
to standards, and interpretations issued by the PIC and IFRIC beginning January 1, 2014,
which have no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
New Standards and Amendments to Standards Not Yet Adopted
The following are the new and revised standards, and amendments to standards which are
issued but not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2014 and have not been applied
in preparing the consolidated financial statements:
Effective July 1, 2014:

2012 Annual improvements. These annual improvements amend standards from the
2010- 2012 reporting cycle. It includes changes to:

-
PFRS 3, ‘Business Combinations’ and clarifies that an obligation to pay contingent
consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as a
financial liability or equity, on the basis of the definitions of PAS 32, ‘Financial
Instruments: Presentation’. It also clarifies that all non-equity contingent consideration is
measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in value recognized in profit
or loss.
-
PFRS 8, ‘Operating Segment’ which is amended to require disclosure of the judgments
made by management in aggregating operating segments. It is also amended to require a
reconciliation of segment assets to the entity’s assets when segment assets are reported.
-
PFRS 13, ‘Fair Value’ which amended the basis of conclusions to clarify that it did not
intend to remove the ability to measure short term receivables and payables at invoice
amounts where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
PAS 16,’Property, Plant and Equipment’ and PAS 38,’Intangible Assets’ are amended to
clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated
where an entity uses the revaluation model.
-
PAS 24,’Related Party Disclosures’ is amended to include, as a related party, an entity
that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent
of the reporting entity (the ‘management entity’). Disclosure of the amounts charged to
the reporting entity is required.
-
PFRS 3’ Business Combinations’ is amended to clarify that PFRS 3 does not apply to the
accounting for the formation of any joint venture under PFRS 11.
-
PFRS 13,’Fair Value Measurement’ is amended to clarify that the portfolio exception in
PFRS 13 applies to all contracts (including non-financial contracts) within the scope of
PAS 39 or PFRS 9.
-3-
-

PAS 40, ‘Investment Property’ is amended to clarify that PAS 40 and PFRS 3 are not
mutually exclusive. PAS 40 assists users to distinguish between investment property and
owner-occupied property. Preparers also need to consider the guidance in PFRS 3 to
determine whether the acquisition of an investment property is a business combination.
PAS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’ (Amendment). The amendment applies to contributions from
employees or third parties to defined benefit plans and clarifies the treatment of such
contributions. The amendment distinguishes between contributions that are linked to service
only in the period in which they arise and those linked to service in more than one period.
The objective of the amendment is to simplify the accounting for contributions that are
independent of the number of years of employee service, for example employee contributions
that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary. Entities with plans that require
contributions that vary with service will be required to recognize the benefit of those
contributions over employee’s working lives.
Effective January 1, 2016:

PAS 16, ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and PAS 38, ‘Intangible assets’ issued in
May 2014. This amendment clarifies that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the
depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that
includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the
economic benefits embodied in the asset.

PAS 27, ‘Separate Financial Statements’, the amendment allow entities to use the equity
method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their
separate financial statements.

PFRS 10, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and PAS 28, ‘Investments in Associates’, the
amendment address an inconsistency between PFRS 10 and PAS 28 in the sale or
contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. A full gain or loss
is recognised when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognized
when a transaction involve assets that do not constitute a business, even if those assets are in
a subsidiary.
Effective July 1, 2016:

-
PFRS 7,’Financial instruments: Disclosures’ - There are two amendments: (1) Servicing
contracts – If an entity transfers a financial asset to a third party under condition which
allow the transferor to derecognize the asset, PFRS 7 requires disclosure of all types of
continuing involvement that the entity might still have in the transferred assets. The
standard provides guidance about what is meant by continuing involvement. The
amendment is prospective with an option to apply retrospectively. There is a
consequential amendment to PFRS 1 to give the same relief to first time adopters. (2)
Interim financial statements – the amendment clarifies that the additional disclosure
required by the amendments to PFRS 7, ‘Disclosure – Offsetting financial assets and
financial liabilities’ is not specifically required for all interim periods unless required by
PAS 34. This amendment is retrospective.
-
PAS 19,’Emplyee benefits’ - The amendment clarifies that, when determining the discount
rate for post-employment benefit obligations, it is the currency that the liabilities are
denominated in that is important, not the country where they arise. The assessment of
whether there is a deep market in high-quality corporate bonds is based on corporate
-4-
bonds in that currency, not corporate bonds in a particular country. Similarly, where
there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds in that currency, government
bonds in the relevant currency should be used. The amendment is retrospective but
limited to the beginning of the earliest period presented.

PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued in May 2014 and effective for
annual periods beginning January 1, 2017. This is the converged standard on revenue
recognition. It replaces PAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, PAS 18,’Revenue’ and related
interpretations. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or
service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain
the benefits from the good or service. The core principle of PFRS 15 is that an entity
recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that
core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
PFRS 15 also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirement that will result in an entity
providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s
contracts with customers.

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments issued in November 2009 and effective for periods beginning
January 1, 2018. The complete version of PFRS 9 replaces most of the guidance in PAS 39.
PFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary
measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through OCI and
fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business
model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in
equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the
irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI. There is now a
new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used
in PAS 39.
For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for
the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities
designated at fair value, through profit or loss.
PFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge
effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and
hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management
actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation is still
required but is different to that currently prepared under PAS 39.
The Group is yet to assess the full impact of PFRS 9 and intends to adopt the new standard
upon completion of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) project. Likewise, the
Group will consider the impact of the remaining phases of the PFRS 9 when issued.
-5-
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented
in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
Items in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Parent
Bank’s functional and presentation currency.
In the Parent Bank’s separate financial statements, the books of accounts of the RBU are
maintained in Philippine peso, while those of the FCDU are maintained in USD. For financial
reporting purposes, the monetary assets and liabilities of the FCDU and the foreign currencydenominated monetary assets and liabilities in the RBU are translated in Philippine peso based
on the Philippine Dealing System (PDS) closing rate prevailing at the consolidated statements of
financial position date. Foreign currency denominated income and expenses are translated at
the prevailing exchange rate at the date of transaction. Foreign exchange differences arising
from revaluation and translation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities of the
RBU are credited or charged against operation in the period in which the rates change.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the
exchange rates as the dates of initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in
a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was
determined.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the
Parent Bank and the entity controlled by the Parent Bank (its subsidiary) up to December 31 of
each year. Control is achieved where the Parent Bank has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when control is transferred to the Parent Bank and
cease to be consolidated from the date when control is transferred out of the Parent Bank.
The interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority’s proportion of the fair values of
the assets and liabilities recognized. Subsequently, any losses applicable to the minority interest
in excess of the minority interest are allocated against the interests of the Parent Bank.
The results of operations of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in
the consolidated statements of income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the
effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using
uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
Inter-company balances and transactions, including inter-company profits and unrealized
profits and losses, are eliminated. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by the
Parent Bank. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on
consolidation.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. The Parent Bank controls an entity
when the Parent Bank is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
-6-
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent
Bank. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
On acquisition, the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured
at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair
values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Any deficiency of the
cost of acquisition below the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired i.e. discount on
acquisition is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition. The interest of minority
shareholders is stated at the minority’s proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities
recognized. Subsequently, any losses applicable to the minority interest in excess of the
minority interest are allocated against the interests of the Parent Bank.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Details of the Parent Bank’s subsidiary as at December 31, 2014 are as follows:
Name of Company
Principal Activities
Real estate acquisitions and
development
Muralla Grande, Inc.
Disposal of subsidiary
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its
fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in
profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for purposes of subsequently
accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition,
any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are
accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may
mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
profit or loss.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins on hand, amounts due from Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and other banks and securities held under agreements to sell that are
convertible to known amounts of cash, with original maturities of three months or less from
dates of placements and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and are
used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments.
Financial Instruments
Date of recognition
Financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Regular way
purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame
established by the regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the
settlement date, the date that an asset is delivered to or by the Group.
Classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Except for financial instruments at
FVPL, the initial measurement of financial assets and liabilities includes transaction cost.
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value
through profit and loss (FVPL), held to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS investments, and loans
and receivables. The Group classifies its financial liabilities as at fair value through profit and
loss and other financial liabilities.
-7-
The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and
whether they are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its
investments at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such
designation at every reporting date.
a) Financial assets or financial liabilities designated at FVPL
The Bank has designated financial assets and liabilities at FVPL when 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 the Bank’s 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.
Financial assets and liabilities designated at FVPL are recorded in the consolidated statement
of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value on financial assets and liabilities
designated at FVPL are recorded in ‘Trading gains (losses) – net’ in the consolidated statements
of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in interest income or expense, while
dividend income is recorded in other operating income according to the terms of the contract,
or when the right of the payment has been established.
b) HTM investments
HTM investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturities for which management has the positive intention and ability to hold to
maturity. Where the Group sells other than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the
entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS investments.
After initial measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method, less of impairment in value. Amortized cost is the
amount at which the financial asset was recognized at initial recognition less any principal
repayments, plus accrued interest, less any impairment losses. Accrued interest includes
amortization of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any premium/discount to
maturity amount using the effective interest method. The amortization is included in the
investment income in the consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest, including both
accrued coupon and amortized discount/premium, are presented under “Accrued interest
receivables” in the consolidated statements of financial position. Gains and losses are
amortized in income when the HTM investments are derecognized and impaired, as well as
through the amortization process. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
c) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed
maturities that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention
of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as financial assets held for trading,
designated as AFS or FVPL. This financial asset category relates to the consolidated statement
of financial position caption: (a) cash and other cash items (b) due from BSP, (c) due from other
banks, and (d) loans and receivable.
-8-
After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Amortization cost
is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are
an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in the interest
income in the consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest, including both accrued
coupon and amortized discount/premium, are presented under “Accrued interest receivables”
in the consolidated statements of financial position. The losses arising from impairment of such
loans and receivables are recognized in ‘Provision for credit losses’ in the consolidated
statements of income.
d) AFS investments
AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as
designated as financial assets at FVPL, HTM investment or loans and receivables. They are
purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirement or
changes in market conditions. These include government securities, equity investments and
other debt instruments.
After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value.
The effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of restatement on
foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in profit or loss. Interest earned
on holding AFS investments are reported as interest income using the effective interest rate.
Accrued interests are presented under “Accrued interest receivables” in the consolidated
statements of financial position. Dividends earned on holding AFS investments are recognized
in the consolidated statement of income as ‘Dividend income’ when the right of the payment
has been established. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS
investments are reported as ‘Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments’ in
the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position. The losses arising from
impairment of such investments are recognized as ‘Provision on impairment losses’ in the
consolidated statement of income. When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or
loss previously recognized in equity is recognized as ‘Net realized gain on sale of AFS
investments’ in the consolidated statement of income.
When the fair value of AFS investments cannot be measured reliably because of lack of
reliable estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value
of unquoted equity instruments, these investments are carried at cost.
e) Classification of financial instruments between debt and equity
A financial instrument is classified as debt, otherwise as equity, if it has a contractual
obligation to:
•
Deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or
•
Exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that
are potentially unfavorable to the Bank.
If the Group does not have any unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another
financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a
financial liability.
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.
-9-
Other financial liabilities
Issued financial instruments or their components, which are not designated as financial
liabilities at FVPL are classified as other financial liabilities, where the substance of the
contractual arrangement results in the Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or
another financial assets to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of
a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. This
includes investment contracts which mainly transfer financial risk and has no or insignificant
insurance risk.
After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortization cost is calculated by taking into
account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate. Any effects of restatement of foreign currency-denominated liabilities are
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s accounts payable and accrued
expenses that meet the above definition (other than liabilities covered by other accounting
standards, such as pension liabilities and income tax payable).
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Group recognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
asset expired, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial
asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or
retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset and liability.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when the contractual obligations are discharged
or cancelled or have expired.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet,
but retained either all risks or rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. If all or
substantially all risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred assets are not derecognized
from the consolidated statements of financial position. Transfers of assets with retention of all
or substantially all risks and rewards include, for example, securities lending and repurchase
transactions.
The Group also derecognizes certain assets when it charges off balances pertaining to the
assets deemed to be uncollectible.
Impairment of Financial Assets and Liabilities
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if,
and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that
has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’ and that loss
event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the
group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include
indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial
difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they
will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate
that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears
or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
- 10 -
a) Loans and receivables
For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the Bank first assesses whether objective
evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant,
or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Bank determines
that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset,
whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit
risk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Assets that are individually
assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, continues to be, recognized are
not included in a collective assessment for impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss
is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an
allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the consolidated statement of income.
Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original effective interest rate of the
asset. Loans, together with the associated allowance account, are written off when there is no
realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized. If, in a subsequent
period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of 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.
The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s
original effective interest rate. Time value is generally not considered when the effect of
discounting is not material. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring
any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate, adjusted for the original credit risk
premium. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a
collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs
for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable. For the purpose
of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are group on the basis of such credit
risk characteristics as type of borrower, collateral type, past-due status and term.
Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment
are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics
similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current
observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on
which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the
historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect,
and are directionally consistent with changes in related observable data from period to period
(such changes in unemployment rates, property prices, commodity prices, payment status, or
other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in the group and their magnitude).
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly
by the Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
b) AFS investments carried at fair value
In case of equity investments classified as AFS investments, impairment indicators would
include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost.
Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference
between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that
financial asset previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income – is removed
from the equity and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses
on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of income.
Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in equity.
- 11 -
In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS investments, impairment is assessed based on
the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Interest continues to be accrued
at the original effective interest rate on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is
recorded as part of ‘Investment income’ in the consolidated statement of income. If in
subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increased and the increase can be
objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the
consolidated statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated
statement of income.
c) AFS investment 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 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 asset.
d) HTM investments
For HTM investments, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss 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 expected credit losses that have not yet been
incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account
and the amount of loss is charged to the consolidated statement of income. Interest income
continues to be recognized based on the original EIR of the asset. If subsequently, the amount
of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment
was recognized, any amount formerly charged are credited to the ‘Provision for impairment
and credit losses’ in the consolidated statement of income and the allowance account,
reduced. The HTM investments, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written
off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the
consolidated statements of financial position if, and only if, the Group has a legal right to set
off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously. This is generally the case with master netting agreements;
thus, the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated statement of
financial position.
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by PFRS.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements
Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements (‘repos’) are reclassified in the consolidated
financial statements as pledged assets when the transferee has the right by contract or custom
to sell or repledge the collateral; the counterparty liability is included in deposits from banks
or deposits from customers, as appropriate. The difference between sale and repurchase price
is treated as interest and accrued over the life of the agreements using the effective interest
method.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell (‘reverse repos’) are recorded as loans and
receivables to other banks or to customers and included in the consolidated statement of
financial position under “Interbank loans receivable and securities purchased under
agreements to resell”. Securities lent to counterparties are also retained in the consolidated
financial statements.
- 12 -
Bank’s Premises, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value and depreciable properties including
buildings, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment, are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization, and any impairment in value. Historical cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items which comprises
its purchase price, import duties and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to its
working condition and location for its intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognized as separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
item will flow to the Group and the asset can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation for buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment is calculated using the
straight-line to allocate cost or residual values over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Number of years
Building and improvements
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Transportation equipment
25
5
5
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term (normally ranging
from 5 to 10 years) and the useful lives of the related improvements (ranges from 5 to 10 years).
Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining life of the related assets.
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each
reporting date. Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever assets or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An asset in carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets’
carrying amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset fair value less cost to sell.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no
further charge for depreciation is made in respect of those assets.
An item of Group’s premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment is derecognized upon disposal
or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated
statement of income, in the year the item is derecognized.
Investment Properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. An investment
property acquired through an exchange transaction is measured at fair value of the asset
acquired unless the fair value of such an asset cannot be measured in which the case the
investment property acquired is measured at carrying amount of the asset given up. Foreclosed
properties are recorded as “Investment properties” upon: (a) entry of judgment in case of
judicial foreclosure; (b) execution of Sheriff’s Certificate of Sale in case of extra-judicial
foreclosure; or (c) notarization of the “Deed of Dacion” in case dation in payment (dacion en
pago). Subsequent to initial recognition, depreciable investment properties are carried at cost
less accumulated depreciation, and any impairment in value. Land is carried at cost less
impairment losses, if any.
- 13 -
Expenditures incurred after the investment properties have been put into operations, such as
repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which the
costs are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the remaining useful lives from the time
of acquisition of the investment properties but not to exceed 10 years for both buildings and
condominium units.
Transfers are made to investment properties when, and only when, there is a change in use
evidenced by ending of owner occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another
party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment properties
when, and only when, there is a change in use evidenced by commencement of owner
occupation or commencement of development with view to sale.
Investment properties are derecognized when they have either been disposed of or when the
investment properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected
from their disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of investment properties
are recognized in the statement of income under ‘Gain on sale of assets’ in the year of
retirement or disposal. Gains and losses on retirement or disposal are determined by comparing
proceeds with carrying amount.
Foreclosed Properties
Foreclosed properties of land or building are classified under investment properties from
foreclosure date, accounted for using cost model under PAS 40.
Assets foreclosed which are available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to
terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and which sale is
highly probable, are recognized as non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and are
accounted for at the lower of cost and fair value less cost to sell similar to the principles of
PFRS 5. The cost of assets foreclosed includes the carrying amount of the related loan less
allowance for impairment at the time of foreclosure. Impairment loss is recognized for any
subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less cost to sell.
Other foreclosed non-financial assets which are not land or building, or to be used by the
Group for its operations are classified as Group-occupied property and is accounted for using
the cost model under PAS 16. Financial assets held as collaterals are classified as
available-for-sale under PAS 39 when foreclosed.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of
intangible assets acquired is their 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 assets may be impaired.
The amortization period and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life
are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the
expected pattern on 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 life
is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
- 14 -
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment
annually or more frequently, either individually or at the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) level.
The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life
continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from definite to fine is made on a
prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset, upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, are
measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Intangible assets include capitalized software. Capitalized software acquired separately is
measured at cost at initial recognition. Following initial recognition, capitalized software is
carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
The capitalized software is amortized over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment on
Group’s premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment, investment properties, intangible asset and
investment in a subsidiary. When an indicator of impairment exists or when an annual
impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or cash-generating units) fair value less
costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does
not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of
assets, in which case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the cash-generating unit to
which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) exceeds its
recoverable mount, the asset (or cash-generating unit) 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 (or cash-generating
unit). In determining fair value lest cost to sell, recent market transactions are taken into
account, if available. If no such transaction can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is
used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for
publicly traded entities or other available fair value indicators.
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 and
amortization, 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 revaluation increase.
After such reversal, the depreciation and amortization expense 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.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
- 15 -
The fair value of a non-financial asset is measured based on its highest and best use. The
asset’s current use is presumed to be its highest and best use.
The fair value of financial and non-financial liabilities takes into account non-performance
risk, which is the risk that the entity will not fulfill an obligation.
The Bank classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the
following levels:
•
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
This level includes listed equity securities and debt instruments on exchanges
(for example, Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc., Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp.,
etc.).
•
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from
prices). This level includes the majority of the over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative
contracts. The primary source of input parameters like LIBOR yield curve or counterparty
credit risk is Bloomberg. ; and
•
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(that is, unobservable inputs).
The appropriate level is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement.
a) Financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market
prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and
regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or
regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by
the Bank is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example,
over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation
techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little
as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an
instrument are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more of the
significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in
Level 3.
For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by
using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques included net present value
techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, options
pricing models, and other relevant valuation models.
b) Non-financial assets or liabilities
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and applies the
technique consistently. Commonly used valuation techniques are as follows:
•
Market approach - A valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a
group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.
- 16 -
•
Income approach - Valuation techniques that convert future amounts (e.g., cash flows or
income and expenses) to a single current (i.e., discounted) amount. The fair value
measurement is determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market
expectations about those future amounts.
•
Cost approach - A valuation technique that reflects the amount that would be required
currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current
replacement cost).
Income and Expense Recognition
Income is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group, the income can be reliably measured and when specific criteria have been met for each
of the Bank’s activities, as described below. Expense is recognized when a decrease in future
economic benefit related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen to the
Group that can be measured reliably.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before income is recognized:
Interest Income and Interest Expense
Interest income and interest expense are recognized in the consolidated statement of income for
all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial instruments
classified as AFS investments as they accrue, using the effective interest rate (EIR).
EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net
carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation takes into account
all the contractual terms of the financial instruments including any fees or incremental costs that
are directly attributable to the instrument and are integral part of the effective interest rate, but
not future credit losses. The EIR is established on the initial recognition of the financial asset and
liability and is not revised subsequently. The carrying amount of the financial asset or liability is
adjusted if the Group revises its estimates of payments or receipts. The change in carrying
amount is recognized in profit or loss as interest income or expense.
Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been
reduced due to impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original
EIR used to discount future cash flows.
Loan Fees, Service Charges and Penalties
Loan commitment fees are recognized as earned over the terms of the credit lines granted to
borrowers. Loan syndication fees are recognized upon completion of all syndication activities
where the Group does not have further obligations to perform under the syndication agreement.
Service charges and penalties are recognized only upon collection or accrued when there is a
reasonable degree of certainty as to its collectibility. When a loan commitment is not expected
to result in the draw-down of a loan, loan commitment fees are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the commitment period.
Rental Income
Rental income arising on leased properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms of ongoing leases and is recorded in the consolidated statement of income under
‘Other Operating Income’.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the Bank’s right to receive payment is established.
- 17 -
Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses) - net
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the settlement of such transactions or from the
translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Other Income
Income from assets sold or exchanged is recognized when the title to the assets is transferred to
the buyer or when the collectibilty of the entire sales price is reasonably assured. Income from
sale of services is recognized upon rendition of the service. Other operating income is
recognized when earned and upon disposal of the investments.
Expenses
Expenses are recognized on the consolidated statement of income:



on the basis of direct association between the costs incurred and the earning of specific
items of income;
on the basis of systematic and rational allocation procedures when economic benefits are
expected to arise over several accounting periods and the association can be broadly or
indirectly determined; or
immediately when expenditures produces no future economic benefits or when, and to the
extent that, future economic benefits do not qualify or cease to qualify, for recognition in
the consolidated statement of financial position as an asset.
Expenses in the consolidated statement of income are presented using the nature of expense
method. General and administrative expenses are cost attributable to administrative activities of
the Bank.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance
of the arrangement at inception date, and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of
the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement
conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one
of the following applies:




there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the
arrangement;
a renewal option is exercised or an extension is granted, unless that term of the renewal or
extension was initially included in the lease term;
there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified
asset; or
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 any of the scenarios above, and at
the date of renewal or extension period for the second scenario.
Bank as a lessee
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the
consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Bank as a lessor
The Bank is also a party of operating leases as a lessor. Lease payments received are recognized
as income in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of
- 18 -
the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income.
Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
Retirement Cost
Short term benefits
Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are
expensed as the related service is provided.
A provision is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus,
short-term compensated absences or profit-sharing plans if the Bank has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee
and the obligation can be measured reliably.
Post employment benefits
The Parent Bank operates a funded, contributory, and defined contribution (DC) plan covering
its regular employees wherein the Parent Bank pays a fixed contribution into a separate entity
known as the trustee; which administers, manages and invests the funds. The Bank, however, is
covered under Republic Act (RA) No. 7641, The Philippine Retirement Law, which provides for
its qualified employees a defined benefit (DB) minimum guarantee. The DB minimum
guarantee is equivalent to a certain percentage of the monthly salary payable to an employee at
normal retirement age with the required credited years of service based on the provisions of RA
7641.
Accordingly, the Parent Bank accounts for its retirement obligation under the higher of the DB
obligation relating to the minimum guarantee and the obligation arising from the DC plan. For
the DB minimum guarantee plan, the liability is determined based on the present value of the
excess of the projected DB obligation over the projected DC obligation at the end of the
reporting period. The DB obligation is calculated annually by a qualified independent actuary
using the projected unit credit method. The Parent Bank determines the net interest expense
(income) on the net DB liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to
measure the DB obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net DB liability
(asset), taking into account any changes in the net DB liability (asset) during the period as a
result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to
the DB plan are recognized in profit or loss.
The DC liability, on the other hand, is measured at the fair value of the DC assets upon which
the DC benefits depend, with an adjustment for any margin on asset returns where this is
reflected in the DC benefits.
Remeasurements of the net DB liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return
on unallocated plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in
benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately
in profit or loss. The Parent Bank recognizes gains or losses on the settlement of a DB plan
when the settlement occurs.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Bank is demonstrably committed,
without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate employment
before the normal retirement date. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are
recognized if the Parent Bank has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is
- 19 -
probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be measured
reliably.
Provisions and Contingencies
Provision
Provisions are recognized when the Group 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. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for
example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but
only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the consolidated statement of income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the
time value of money 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 a borrowing cost.
Contingencies
A contingent asset is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed
when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. 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.
Income Taxes
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
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 taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in
which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where
appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on all temporary differences at the statement
of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences with certain
exceptions. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences,
carry forward of unused tax credits from the excess of the minimum corporate income tax
(MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax and unused net operating loss carryover
(NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused MCIT and unused NOLCO can
be utilized. Deferred 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 or loss.
- 20 -
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting 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.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (tax base) and regulations
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets
and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable
entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net
basis.
Borrowings and Borrowing Costs
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings
are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the
borrowings using the effective interest method.
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of
time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such
time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their
expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are
incurred.
Equity
Share capital is measured at par value for all shares issued.
Surplus free includes all current and prior period results as disclosed in profit or loss and which
are available for dividend declaration and not restricted for use by the Bank.
Reserves pertain to a portion of the Parent Company’s income from trust operations set-up on a
yearly basis in compliance with BSP regulations. Reserves also consist of reserve for
contingencies and self-insurance.
Net unrealized fair value gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities pertain to cumulative
mark-to-market valuation of AFS investments.
Dividends on Common Shares
Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when
approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Bank and to BSP. Dividends for the year that
are approved after the consolidated statement of financial position date are dealt with as an
event after the statement of financial position date.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly to control
the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and
operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common
control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate
- 21 -
entities. Transactions between related parties are based on terms similar to those offered to nonrelated parties.
Earnings per Share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares, if any.
Events after the Reporting Period
The Group identifies events after the end of the reporting period as those events, both
favorable and unfavorable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date
when the financial statements are authorized for issue. The financial statements of the Bank
are adjusted to reflect those events that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end
of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the end of the reporting period are
disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when material.
Fiduciary Activities
Assets and income arising from fiduciary activities together with related undertakings to return
such assets to customers are excluded from the consolidated financial statements where the
Parent Bank acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent.
4. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, Management is required to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on the historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Critical Accounting Estimates
a) Impairment of Loans and Receivables
The Group reviews its loans and receivables at each reporting date to assess whether an
additional provision for credit losses should be recorded in the consolidated statement of
income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and
timing of future cash flows when determining the level of allowance required. Such estimates
are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in
future changes to the allowance.
In addition to specific allowance against individually significant loans and receivables, the
Group also makes a collective impairment allowance against exposures which, although not
specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when
originally granted. This collective allowance takes into consideration on any deterioration in the
loan or investment rating since it was granted or acquired. This collective allowance is based
on changes in factors that are indicative of incurred losses, such as deterioration in payment
status and underlying property prices, among others.
To the extent that the net present value of estimated cash flows of individually impaired
accounts and the estimated impairment for collectively assessed accounts differs by +/- 5%,
impairment provision for the year ended December 31, 2014 would be an estimated
P5.39 million (2013 – P3.39 million) higher or lower.
- 22 -
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, loans and receivables of the Group are carried at P36.4
billion and P41.7 billion, respectively (see Note 8).
b) Impairment of bank’s premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and investment properties
The Group 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 Group considers that it is impracticable to disclose with sufficient reliability the possible
effects of sensitivities surrounding the fair value of its long-term non-financial assets.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying value of bank’s premises, furniture, fixtures
and equipment amounted to P2.6 billion and P2.5 billion, respectively, while the carrying
values of the Bank’s investment properties amounted to P2.8 billion (see Notes 12 and 13).
c) Retirement benefits under R.A. 7641
The present value of the excess of the projected DB minimum guarantee over the projected DC
obligation at the end of the reporting period depends on a number of factors that are
determined on an actuarial basis. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for
pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying
amount of retirement obligations.
The Parent Bank determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the
interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash
outflows expected to be required to settle the retirement obligations. In determining the
appropriate discount rate, the Parent Bank considers the interest rates of government securities
that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to
maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement obligation.
Other key assumptions for retirement obligations are based in part on current market
conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 21.
Judgments
a) Contingencies
The Parent Bank is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable
costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel
handling the Parent Bank’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential
results. Management does not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect
on its financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be
materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to
these proceedings.
b) Functional Currency
PAS 21 requires management to use its judgment to determine the entity’s functional currency
such that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events
and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, the Parent Bank
considers the following:

the currency that mainly influences sales prices for financial instruments and services;
- 23 -


the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and
the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.
c) Operating Leases
The Group has entered into various lease agreements either as a lessor or as a lessee.
Critical judgment was exercised by the management to distinguish each lease agreement as
either an operating lease of finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant
risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. All of the Group’s
lease agreements were determined as operating lease (see Note 22).
d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the consolidated
statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined
using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models. The input
to these models is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible,
a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include
considerations of liquidity and model inputs such as correlation and volatility.
The Group considers that it is impracticable to disclose with sufficient reliability the possible
effects of sensitivities surrounding the fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in
active markets. The fair values of the Group’s financial instruments are presented in Note 5 to
the consolidated financial statements.
e) Impairment of AFS investments
The Group treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of
impairment exists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgment.
The Group treats ‘significant’ generally as 20% or more of the original cost of investment, and
‘prolonged’, greater than 12 months. In addition, the Group evaluates other factors, including
normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future cash flows and the discounted
factors for unquoted equities.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying value of the Group’s AFS investments
amounted P43.5 billion and P38.5 billion, respectively (see Note 10). The Group assessed that
no allowance for impairment losses on AFS investments is necessary as at December 31, 2014
and 2013.
f)
Classification of HTM investments
The classification to HTM investment requires significant judgment. In making this judgment,
the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group
fails to keep these investments to maturity other than in certain specific circumstances – for
example, selling a significant amount close to maturity – it will be required to reclassify the
entire portfolio as AFS investments. The investment would therefore be measured at fair value
and not amortized cost.
g) Distinction between investment properties and owner-occupied properties
The Group determines whether a property qualifies as investment property. In making its
judgment, the Group considers whether the property generates cash flows largely independent
of the other assets held by an entity. Owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that are
attributable not only to property but also to the other assets used in the production or supply
process.
Some properties consist of a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and
another portion that is held for use in the production of services or for administrative purposes.
If these portions cannot be sold separately, the property is accounted for as investment property
- 24 -
only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production of services or for administrative
purposes. Judgment is applied in determining whether ancillary services are so significant that a
property does not qualify as investment property. The Group considers each property separately
in making judgment.
The Group classifies all properties which have a portion that is earning rentals and another
portion which are used in production of services or used in administrative purposes as owneroccupied properties based on the criterion above. In this case, such properties were included
in the account ‘Bank’s premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment’.
h) Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets
The Group reviews its deferred tax assets at each financial position date and reduces the
carrying amount to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Any deferred tax asset will
be re-measured if it might result in derecognition when the expected tax law to be enacted has
a possible risk on the realization. Management believes that sufficient taxable profit will be
generated to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s recognized deferred tax assets amounted to
P949.5 million and P770.4 million, respectively (see Note 26).
5. Financial Risk Management
Risk Management Framework
The Board of Directors (BOD) of the Group is responsible for establishing and maintaining a
sound risk management system. It is the primary responsibility of the BOD to establish the risk
culture and the risk management organization and incorporate the risk process as an essential
part of the corporate strategic planning.
The Group classifies the major risks that the Group manages between quantifiable risks such as
credit, liquidity and markets risks, and non-quantifiable risks such as operations risk among
others.
Through the direction of the BOD, the following comprise the risk management structure of the
Group:
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee plays the crucial role of analyzing, evaluating, and approving product
attributes such as: market, liquidity and credit risk; operations risk; control and compliance;
audit, legal and regulatory; and system and technology issues for new activities/products.
Risk Management Committee (RMC)
The RMC is responsible for the creation and oversight of the Group’s corporate risk policy.
It is tasked to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set and recommend to the
BOD the system of risk limits and controls, and to ensure that each business unit continuously
monitors the adequacy and soundness of policies, assumptions and practices.
Asset and Liability Committee (ALC)
The ALC ensures that at all times the Group maintains adequate liquidity, sufficient capital and
appropriate funding to meet all business requirements and complies with all regulatory
requirements.
- 25 -
Credit Committee (CreCom)
The CreCom is primarily responsible for credit risk management of the Group. It establishes the
standards for credit analysis, define credit risk measurements, establish internal risk ratings and
review the credit risk infrastructure’s ability to support the Group’s risk policies.
Risk Management Group (RMG)
The RMG is an in independent business function to identify, analyze, and measure risks from
the Group’s trading, position-taking, lending, borrowing, and other transactional activities.
Audit Committee (AC)
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Group’s risk
management policies and procedures, and for reviewing the adequacy of the risk managements
system in placed in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group’s Audit Committee is
assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc
reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the
Audit Committee.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to pay
obligations on time or in full as expected or previously contracted, subjecting the Group to a
financial loss. The goal of the Group’s credit risk management is to maximize the risk-adjusted
rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within the approved parameters.
The Group’s credit risk covers mostly loan portfolio analysis, where the Group employs risk
management techniques to quantify and qualify cyclical versus specific risks for a given
portfolio under potentially adverse economic conditions. Diversification against loan
concentration, such as lending in a single geographic area or business sector, enables the
Group to manage risks associated with its largest exposures in the market.
Credit Risk Management
Measurement of Credit Risk
In measuring credit risk at a counterparty level, the Group mainly relies on its sound lending
philosophy and considers three components: (i) the probability of default by the client or
counterparty on its contractual obligations; (ii) current exposures to the counterparty and its
likely future development; and (iii) the likely recovery ratio on the defaulted obligations. The
Group uses two statistical-based credit risk methodology in measuring credit risk namely:
default-probability models, which predict future losses and thus anticipate provisioning and
capital needs, and risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) techniques, which incorporate credit
risk into the initial loan pricing and eventually evaluate the true economic capital needs of the
Group.
(a) Loans and receivables
The clients of the Group are segmented and internally rated into the following standards BSP
classifications:
•
Unclassified – these are loans that do not have any greater-than normal risk and do not
possess the characteristics of loans classified below. The counterparty has the ability to
satisfy the obligation in full and therefore minimal loss, if any, is anticipated.
•
Loans especially mentioned – these are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve
management’s close attention. These potential weaknesses, if left uncorrected, may affect
the repayment of the loan and thus increase the credit risk of the Group.
- 26 -
•
Substandard - these are loans which appear to involve a substantial degree of risk to the
Group because of unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics. Further, these loans
with well-defined weaknesses which may include adverse trends or development of a
financial, managerial, economic or potential nature, or a significant deterioration in
collateral.
•
Doubtful – these are loans which have the weaknesses similar to those of the Sub-standard
classification with added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make
collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and substantial loss is probable.
•
Loss – these are loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their
continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some
recovery or salvage value.
(b) Debt securities and other bills
For debt securities and other bills, external rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s and
Moody’s ratings or their equivalents are used by the Group for managing credit exposures.
Likewise, investments in these securities and bills are reviewed through its regular meetings
with top management as a way to gain credit quality mix and maintain a readily available
source to meet funding requirements.
Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies
The Group, through a Credit Manual, established policies for sound credit granting process.
Sufficient client information, to enable a comprehensive assessment of the true risk profile of
the borrower or counterparty, are gathered and at a minimum certain factors are considered in
documentation and credit approvals.
Overall credit limits at individual borrower’s or counterparty’s level and groups of connected
counterparties that aggregate in a comparable and informative manner are established by the
Group as one of the core risk control. Subsequent credit administration and monitoring is also
maintained through a well-structured internal risk rating system, which allows a more accurate
determination of the overall characteristics of the credit portfolio, concentration of risk, problem
credits and adequacy of loan loss reserves.
The Group employs some of these specific control and mitigation measures as outlined below.
(a) Collateral
One of the most traditional and common practice in mitigating credit risk is requiring security
for loans and receivables. The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific
classes of collateral for credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and
receivables are:
•
•
Mortgage over real estate properties and chattels; and
Hold-out on financial instruments such as debt securities deposits, and equities
In order to preserve the collateral cover for loans and receivables, management monitors the
market value of real property collateral on an annual basis and as needed for marketable
securities. Key management considers the existing market value of collateral during the review
of the credit facilities and adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Upon careful evaluation,
the Group may seeks additional collateral from the counterparty for the relevant individual
loans and receivables, in order to minimize credit loss or impairment.

(a) Credit-related commitments
The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as
required. Standby letters of credit carry the same risk as loans. Documentary and commercial
letters of credit – which are written undertaking by the Group on behalf of a customer
authorizing a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific
terms and conditions – are collateralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they
relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.
The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term
commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.
Impairment and Provisioning Policies
The Group’s credit-quality mapping on loans and receivables is based on the standard BSP
classifications. Impairment provisions, however, are recognized for financial reporting purposes
only for losses that have been incurred at the reporting date based on objective evidence of
impairment.
Loans with renegotiated terms
Loans with renegotiated terms are loans that have been restructured due to deterioration in the
borrower’s financial position. In respect of some of these loans, the Group has made
concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Once the loan is restructured it remains in
this category independent of satisfactory performance after restructuring.
Write-off policy
The Group writes off a loan or an investment debt security balance, and any related allowances
for impairment losses, when Group’s Credit Department determines that the loan or security is
uncollectible. This determination is made after considering information such as the occurrence
of significant changes in the borrower’s/issuer’s financial position such that the borrower/issuer
can no longer pay the obligation, or that proceeds from collateral will not be sufficient to pay
back the entire exposure. For smaller balance standardized loans, write-off decisions generally
are based on a product-specific past due status. All write-offs are approved by the BOD.

Foreclosed Collaterals
Repossessed properties are sold as soon as practicable and are classified initially under
‘Investment Properties’ in the consolidated statements of financial position until further assessed
and measured. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the related foreclosed collaterals have an
aggregate carrying amount of P2.7 billion and P2.8 billion, respectively. Foreclosed collaterals
include real estate (land, building and improvements), auto or chattel, bonds and stocks.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is generally defined as the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital
arising from the Group’s inability to meet its obligations in all currencies when they become
due without incurring unacceptable losses or costs. The Group’s liquidity management is
characterized by the following elements: a) good management information system, b) effective
analysis of funding requirements under alternative scenarios, c) diversification of funding
sources, and d) contingency planning.
Liquidity Risk Management
The Group’s liquidity management involves maintaining funding capacity to accommodate
fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in the Group’s business operations or
unanticipated events created by customer behavior or capital market conditions. The Group
seeks to ensure liquidity through a combination of active management of liabilities, a liquid
asset portfolio composed substantially of deposits in primary and secondary reserves, and the
securing of money market lines and the maintenance of repurchase facilities to address any
unexpected liquidity situations.
- 33 -
The Group’s net funding requirements are determined by analyzing its future cash flows based
on assumptions of the future behavior of assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items, and then
calculating the cumulative net excess on shortfall over the time frame for the liquidity
assessment. Such analysis of net funding requirements involves construction of a Maturity
Ladder and calculation of cumulative net excess or deficit. Furthermore, an internal liquidity
ratio has been set to determine sufficiency of liquid assets over deposit liabilities. Scenario stress
tests are conducted periodically wherein liquidity managers analyze the behavior of cash flows
under different conditions, i.e. from “normal” conditions to “extreme” situations. Finally, the
BOD sets the Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO) Limit in order to control liquidity gap for
each currency.

Market Risk
Market risk the risk of loss, immediate or overtime due to adverse fluctuations in the price or
market value of instruments, products, and transactions in the Group’s overall portfolio. The
value of these financial instruments may change as a result of changes in interest rate, foreign
exchange rate, and other market changes. The Group’s market risk originates from its inventory
of foreign exchange and debt securities. The objective of market risk management is to manage
and control the market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the
return on investments.
The Group manages market risk inherent in the Group’s portfolio using three measures namely:
a) sensitivity analysis of the position or portfolio to market factors, b) factor volatility norm for
estimating the expected movement in the market risk factor, and c) value-at-risk (VaR), which is
a tool for measuring the potential loss from an unlikely adverse event in a normal market
environment.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk involves the movements of rates across yield curves of one or more
instruments. The principal risk to which financial instruments are exposed is the risk of loss from
fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of financial instrument because of a change in
market interest rates. The Group manages its resources and liabilities so as to ensure that
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates are kept within acceptable limits. Interest rate risk is
managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and by having pre-approved limits
for interest rate repricing. Group’s management monitors compliance with these limits.
The details of the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk at the reporting date are shown below in
reference to their contractual repricing or maturity dates (amounts in millions):

Foreign currency liabilities generally consist of foreign currency deposits in the Group's FCDU,
which are generated from remittances to the Philippines by Filipino expatriates and overseas
Filipino workers who retain for their own benefit or for the benefit of a third party.
Foreign currency deposits are generally used to fund the Group's foreign currency denominated
loans and FCDU investment portfolio. Banks are required by the BSP to match foreign currency
assets with the foreign currency liabilities held through FCDUs. In addition, the BSP requires a
30% liquidity reserve on all foreign currency liabilities held through FCDUs.
Group policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within acceptable limits and within
existing regulatory guidelines. The Group believes that its profile of foreign currency exposure
on its assets and liabilities is within conservative limits for a financial institution engaged in the
type of business in which the Group is engaged.

Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes
associated with the Group’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from
external factors other than credit, market, and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and
regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behavior. Operational
risks arise from Group operations.
The Group’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial
losses and damage to the Group’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control
procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.
The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address
operational risk is assigned to senior management. This responsibility is supported by the
development of overall standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent
authorization of transactions;
Requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions;
Compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements;
Documentation of controls and procedures;
Requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy
of controls and procedures to address the risks identified;
Requirements for the reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action;
Development of contingency plans;
Training and professional development;
Ethical and business standards; and
Risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective.

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 other cash items, due from BSP and other banks - The carrying amounts approximate
their fair values in view of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.
- 40 -
Debt securities - Fair values are generally based on quoted market prices. If the market prices
are not readily available, fair values are estimated using either values obtained from
independent parties offering pricing services or adjusted quoted market prices of comparable
investments or using the discounted cash flow methodology.
Equity securities - For publicly traded equity securities, fair values are based on quoted prices
published in the Philippine equity markets. For unquoted equity securities for which no reliable
basis for fair value measurement is available, these are carried at cost net of impairment, if any.
Loans and receivables, net - Fair values of loans and receivables are estimated using the
discounted cash flow methodology, using the Group’s current incremental lending rates for
similar types of loans and receivables.
Deposit liabilities (time, demand and savings deposits) - Fair values of time deposits are
estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, using the Group’s current incremental
borrowing rates for similar borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the
liability being valued. For demand and savings deposits, carrying amounts approximate fair
values considering that these are currently due and demandable.
Manager’s checks and accrued interest and other expenses - Carrying amounts approximate fair
values due to the short-term nature of the accounts.
Other liabilities - Quoted market prices are not readily available for these liabilities. These are
reported at cost and are not significant in relation to the Group’s total portfolio.

6. Capital Risk Management
The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to ensure that it complies with
externally imposed capital requirements and that it maintains strong credit ratings and healthy
capital ratios in order to support its business and to maximize shareholders’ value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in
economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust
the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders or issue capital securities. No changes were made in the
objectives, policies and processes as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Regulatory Qualifying Capital
The Parent Bank manages its capital following the framework of Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision Accord II (Basel II) and its implementation in the Philippines by the BSP. The BSP
through its Circular 538 requires each bank and its financial affiliated subsidiaries to keep its
Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) - the ratio of qualified capital to risk-weighted exposures - to be
no less than 10%. In quantifying its CAR, the Parent Bank currently uses the Standardized
Approach (for credit risk and market risk) and the Basic Indicator Approach (for operational
risk). Capital adequacy reports are filed with the BSP every quarter.
Under existing BSP regulations, the determination of the Parent Bank’s compliance with
regulatory requirements and ratios is based on the amount of the Bank’s unimpaired capital
(regulatory capital) as reported to the BSP.
In addition, qualifying capital and risk-weighted assets are computed based on BSP
regulations. The risk-based capital ratio of a bank, expressed as a percentage of qualifying
capital to risk-weighted assets, should not be less than 10% for head office and branches.
Risk-weighted assets consist of total assets less cash on hand, due from BSP, loans covered by
hold-out on or assignment of deposits, loans or acceptances under letters of credit to the extent
covered by margin deposits and other non-risk items determined by the Monetary Board of the
BSP.
On August 4, 2006, the BSP, under BSP Circular No. 538, issued the prescribed guidelines
implementing the revised risk-based capital adequacy framework for the Philippine banking
system to conform to the capital adequacy framework of Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision Accord II (Basel II). The BSP through its Circular 538 requires each bank and its
financial affiliated subsidiaries to keep its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) - the ratio of qualified
capital to risk-weighted exposures - to be no less than 10%. The qualifying capital of the
Parent Bank consists of core tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital comprises paid-up
capital stock, surplus including net income for the year, and surplus reserves, less deductions
such as deferred income tax, unsecured credit accommodations to DOSRI, and unrealized fair
value losses on available-for-sale investments. Tier 2 capital includes net unrealized fair value
gains on available-for-sale investments, unsecured subordinated debt, and general loan loss
provisions for BSP reporting purposes.
The Basel II framework following BSP Circular 538 took into effect on July 1, 2007 and was
relevant until 2013. As at December 31, 2013, the Bank’s CAR under BSP Circular No. 538 is
38.33%.
Effective January 1, 2014, the BSP, through its Circular 781, requires each bank and its
financial affiliated subsidiaries to adopt new capital requirements in accordance with the
provisions of Basel III. The new guidelines are meant to strengthen the composition of the
Bank's capital by increasing the level of core capital and regulatory capital. The Circular sets
out minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio and Tier 1 Capital ratios of 6.0% and 7.5%,
- 42 -
respectively. A capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, comprised of CET1 capital, was likewise
imposed. The minimum required capital adequacy ratio remains at 10% which includes the
capital conservation buffer. In addition, existing capital requirements as at December 31, 2010
which do not meet the eligibility criteria for capital instruments under the revised capital
framework shall no longer be recognized as capital upon the effectivity of Basel III.
The CAR of the Parent Bank under the Basel III and Basel II framework for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are shown in the table below.

The Parent Bank has fully complied with the CAR requirement of the BSP for each of the
period presented.
In October 9, 2014, BSP’s Monetary Board approved the new minimum capitalization for
banks through Circular 854, amending Subsection X111.1 of the Manual of Regulation for
Banks (MORB). The Parent Bank, as a universal bank with 58 branches to date, including
Head Office, is required to maintain a minimum capital of P15 billion. As at December 31,
2014, the Parent Bank will comply with the required capitalization and will submit to the
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) its capital build up program within the required period.
As part of the reforms of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) to expand capital market and
improve transparency among listed firms, PSE requires listed entities to maintain a minimum of
ten percent (10%) of their issued and outstanding shares, exclusive of any treasury shares, held
by the public. The Parent Bank fully complied with this requirement.

Past due loans amounted to P1.15 billion (3.04% of total loan portfolio) and P1.15 billion
(2.68% of total loan portfolio) as at December 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.
BSP Circular 351 issued on September 19, 2002, authorizes banks that have no unbooked
useful valuation reserves and capital adjustments required by the said regulatory body, to
exclude from non-performing classification, loans classified as loss in the latest examination of
the BSP which are fully covered by allowance for probable losses, provided that, interest on
said loans shall not be accrued.
Non-performing accounts (over 30 days past due), net of accounts in the “loss” category and
covered with 100% reserves (excluded under BSP Circular 351), are as follows:

Non-performing loans (NPLs) represented approximately 2.95% and 2.68% of the loan
receivable portfolio as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Under banking regulations, NPLs shall, as a general rule, refer to loan accounts whose principal
and/or interest is unpaid for thirty (30) days or more after due date or after they have become
past due in accordance with existing rules and regulations. This shall apply to loans payable in
lump sum and loans payable in quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments, in which case,
the total outstanding balance thereof shall be considered non-performing.
In the case of receivables that are payable in monthly installments, the total outstanding
balance thereof shall be considered non-performing when three (3) or more installments are in
arrears. In the case of receivables that are payable in daily, weekly, or semi-monthly
installments, the total outstanding balance thereof shall be considered non-performing at the

Carrying Value:
The Group’s investment properties consist entirely of real estate properties acquired in
settlement of loans and receivables. The difference between the fair value of the investment
property upon foreclosure and the carrying value of the loan is recognized under ‘Gain on asset
foreclosure and dacion transactions’ in the consolidated statement of income.
The aggregate fair value of the investment properties amounted to P4.4 billion and P3.4 billion
in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fair value has been determined based on valuations made by
independent and/or in-house appraisers. Valuations were derived on the basis of recent sales of
similar properties in the same area as the investment properties and taking into account the
economic conditions prevailing at the time the valuations were made.
Direct operating expenses from investment properties of the Group not generating rent income
amounted to P48.39 million and P69.12 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Retirement benefits
The Parent Bank has a funded, defined contribution (DC) plan for qualifying employees. Under
the plan, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits in relation to the proportion of the
fair value of the total contributions on their attainment of the retirement age. The assets of the
fund are being administered by trustees and are held separately from those of the Bank.
Under the R.A. 7641 – “The Retirement Pay Law”, the Parent Bank also provides for its
qualified employees a defined benefit (DB) minimum guarantee, which is equivalent to a
certain percentage of the monthly salary payable to an employee at normal retirement age
with the required credited years of service.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the present value of the DB minimum guarantee under
the Retirement Pay Law amounted to P8.2 million and P8.1 million, respectively. The Parent
Bank has no unallocated DC plan assets as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Parent Bank is exposed to the risk of changes in government securities yields, wherein a
decrease in government securities yields will increase the projected DB minimum guarantee,
although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of any unallocated plan assets’
securities holdings.

Regulatory Reporting
In the ordinary course of business, the Parent Bank has loans and other transactions with its
directors, officers, stockholders and related interests (DOSRI). Under the Parent Bank’s policy,
these loans and other transactions are made substantially on the same terms as with other
individuals and businesses of comparable risks. The amount of individual loans to DOSRI, of
which 70% must be secured, should not exceed the amount of their respective deposits and
book value of their respective investments in the Parent Bank. In the aggregate, loans to
DOSRI generally should not exceed the Parent Bank’s total capital funds or 15.00% of the
Parent Bank’s total loan portfolio, whichever is lower. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the
Parent Bank has complied with all these regulatory requirements.
- 58 -
BSP Circular No. 423 dated March 15, 2004 amended the definition of DOSRI accounts.
In January 31, 2007, BSP Circular No. 560 was issued providing the rules and regulations that
govern loans, other credit accommodations and guarantees granted to subsidiaries and
affiliates of banks and quasi-banks. Under the said circular, the total outstanding exposures of
the bank shall not exceed 10.00% of the bank’s net worth, the unsecured portion of which
shall not exceed 5.00% of such net worth. Further, the total outstanding exposures to
subsidiaries and affiliates shall not exceed 20.00% of the net worth of the lending bank.
BSP Circular No. 560 is effective February 15, 2007.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were loans to Bank Directors, Officers, Stockholders
and Related Interests (DOSRI) amounting to P985 million and nil, respectively.
26. Income Taxes
Income taxes include corporate income tax and FCDU final taxes, as discussed below, and final
tax paid at the rate of 20.00% on gross interest income from government securities and other
deposit substitutes. These income taxes, as well as the deferred tax benefits and provisions, are
presented as ‘Income tax expense’ in the consolidated statement of income.
Effective in May 2004, RA No. 9294 restored the tax exemption of FCDUs and offshore banking
units (OBUs). Under such law, the income derived by the FCDU from foreign currency
transactions with nonresidents, OBUs, local commercial banks including branches of foreign
banks is tax-exempt while interest income on foreign currency loans from residents other than
OBUs or other depository banks under the expanded system is subject to 10.00% gross income
tax.
FCDU offshore income is tax-exempt while interest income on deposit placements with other
FCDU and offshore banking units (OBUs) is taxed at 7.50%. All other income of the FCDU is
subject to the 30.00% corporate tax.

ANNEX C1
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for Calendar Year 2012
Financial Condition
The healthy growth and satisfactory results of operations for the year 2012
once more reaffirmed wisdom of strictly adhering to sound and conservative banking
policies. Our resources, deposits and capital funds rose to a level that reflect the
steady firming up of its new role as a meaningful participant in the banking sector of
our country. Total resources at year end of 2012 reached a new record high of
P111.188 Billion compared to P105.400 Billion, an increase of P5.788 Billion over
the previous year. Cash and Other Cash Items declined by 25.12% as funds were
shifted to higher yielding securities. Due from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas decreased
by 20.15% as the funds were invested in Reverse Repurchase Agreements with the
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Due from Other Banks decreased by 16.61% due to
lower working balances maintained with correspondent banks. Available for Sale
Securities increased by 20.78% as the Bank rationalized its holdings of investments
securities. Our Bank continued the expansion of its loans as Loans and Receivables
increased by 18.94% or by P5.603 Billion compared from last year’s level of P29.575
Billion. Movements on Other Asset accounts for less than 10% increase/decrease can
be accounted for by transactions in the ordinary course of business.
Deposit Liabilities stood at P88.816 Billion compared to P87.595 from last
year’s end level. The 13.07% decrease in Manager’s Checks represents lower volume
of outstanding checks issued. Accrued taxes and other expenses decreased by 14.71%
due to payments of fringe benefits and large volume of withholding taxes. Deferred
credits and other liabilities increased by 105.86% due to higher level of trade
transactions for the year. Deferred tax liabilities posted an increase of 336.93% due to
increase of net unrealized gain for the year.
Capital Funds reached the P20 Billion mark, now at P20.797 Billion, a P3.744
Billion increase compared from last year’s level of P17.053 Billion. This is the
impact of the P1.712 Billion earnings for the year and the P2.032 Billion increase in
net unrealized gains. The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) for the period is 22.08%
which is Basel 2 compliant and is well above the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)
maximum requirement of 10%.
The Bank has outstanding commitments, contingent liabilities and bank
guarantees that arise from the normal course of operations. The Bank does not
anticipate any losses that will materially affect its financial positions and results of
operations. Changes in nature and amounts in the financial statements were due more
to market related factors inherent in nature of the issuer’s business operations and
were not considered unusual.
Results of Operations
The Bank’s gross earnings amounted to P6.590 Billion compared to P7.076
Billion from previous year. Declining interest rates resulted in the decrease in interest
on loans and advances by 2.34%. Interest on deposits with the banks decreased by
35.96% due to result of decreasing interest rates by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
on SDA’s and due to non-interest bearing reserve deposits. The Bank continued to
adapt an aggressive stance in the market through sale of bonds and other securities.
Hence, gains from Available for Sale Securities increased by 15.77% while Held to
Maturity Securities decreased by 15.32% due to small amount of maturing securities
compared from last year’s level. Income from foreign exchange profit decreased by
28.75% due to lower exchange rate at year end. Other operating income increased by
16.15% due to higher profits on Sale or Redemption of Investments.
Depreciation/Amortization decreased by 25.33% due to some disposal of
transportation equipment. Taxes and licenses decreased by 14.66% because of lower
gross receipts tax compared from last year’s level. The provision for income tax
expense decreased by 22.34% due to lower income which was subjected to final tax
withheld at source. Net income closed at P1.712 Billion.
With solid performance and sustained growth over the past 96 years, the Bank
looks forward with keen anticipation to the incoming years. It will avail of
opportunities and meet it challenges with the same dedication and conservative
policies that have characterized its corporate life. The Bank will continue to focus on
its core business and to deepen its banking relationship with more prospective client’s
ad to offer more excellent customer service. We will further strengthen the corporate
governance and risk’s management structure.
We are confident that we can successfully meet the challenges of the times, as
we have proven in the past, and make the Bank an even stronger financial institution.
We will continue investing in technology and thereby fully support electronic
commerce in the coming years.

Part II - Other Information
Our financial report for the year 2012 was prepared in compliance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles as set forth in Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
(PFRS). The term PFRS in general includes all applicable PFRS, PAS and SIC/IFRIC
interpretations which have been approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council
(FRSC) and adopted by the SEC pronouncements. The same accounting policies and
methods of computation were consistently followed in our financial statements as
compared with the annual audited financial statements. There were no cash dividends
paid during the year of 2012. There were no material contingencies or any other unusual
events or transactions affecting our financial condition since December 31, 2011. There
are no known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have
had a material conflict on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no
material commitment for capital expenditures. There are no known trends, events or
uncertainties that have had a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net revenues
from continuing operations. Our Bank does not have any subsidiary. We don’t
anticipate any events that may cause any default or acceleration of an obligation. There
are no material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations, including
contingent obligations with unconsolidated entities.
PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. The standard
became effective for annual period or after January 1, 2013 but change the mandatory
effective date to January 1, 2015. The Bank opted not to implement early adoption of
PFRS 9 on its financial reporting. An evaluation was conducted early this year using the
outstanding balances of financial statements as of December 31, 2011. We believe that
there is no material impact in the financial statements for the adoption of PFRS 9.
For the year 2012, the Bank had no transactions that would require the following
information or disclosures:
.
a. Explanatory comments about the seasonality or cyclicality of interim
operations;
b. The nature and amount of items affecting assets, liabilities, equity, net income
or cash flows that are unusual because of their nature, size or incidents;
c. The nature and amount of changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior
interim periods of the current financial year or changes in estimates of
amounts reported in prior financial years, if those changes have a material
effect in the current interim period;
d. Issuances, repurchases and repayments of debt and equity securities;

ANNEX C2
Financial Condition
The year 2013 proved to be another fruitful year for our Bank as Total
Resources reached a new record high of P120.954 Billion compared to P112.097
Billion in 2012. Growth in resources came primarily from deposit liabilities which
rose by 12.98% or by P11.528 Billion. Deposit growth came mainly from relatively
stable and low cost savings deposits and demand deposits. Due from Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas, representing 21.84% of Total Resources, went up by 18.33% or P4.092
Billion, arising from more effective management of reserve deposits and from higher
fixed term deposits or Special Deposits Accounts (SDA). The P342.250 Million
decrease in Due from Other Banks reflects lower operating balances maintained from
both local and foreign correspondent banks. Due to some maturing loans at year end,
loans and receivables from customers decreased by P5.265 Billion or by 19.57%
compared from last year’s level. Loans Arising from Repurchase Agreements
increased by P12.650 Billion as funds were invested with the Bangko Sentral ng
Pilipinas. Available for Sale Securities and Held to Maturity Securities decreased by
P402 Million and P689 Million respectively due to decrease in market value and the
effect of mark to market valuation at year end. Cash and other cash items decreased
by P185 Million as funds were invested at Special Deposit Account with the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas. Deferred tax assets decreased by 15.28% due to unrecognized
deferred tax assets for 2014 net operating loss carry over. Movements in other asset
accounts can be accounted for by transactions in the ordinary course of business.
Deposit liabilities of P100.344 Billion increased by 12.98% compared to last
year’s level of P88.816 Billion. It continued to be the Bank’s main source of funding.
Deferred credits and other liabilities decreased by 39.76% due to lower level of trade
transactions. All payables were paid within stated terms.
Capital Funds reached the P20 Billion mark now at P20.104 Billion. Other
Comprehensive Income, Net Unrealized Gains/(Losses) decreased by P3.906 Billion
or 62.97% due largely on account of mark to market valuation of investments. The
Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) for the period is 34.81%, which is well above the BSP
minimum requirements of 10%, is indicative of the sufficiency of the Bank’s capital
to support the current level of its risk assets.
guaranties that arise from the normal course of operations. The Bank does not
anticipate any losses that will materially affect its financial positions and results of
operations.
The Bank generated a P1.357 Billion net income for the year 2013. Gross
earnings amounted to P6.388 Billion compared to P6.590 Billion of last year’s level.
Declining interest rate on loans resulted in the decrease on interest on loans and
advances by 18.11%. Income from foreign exchange profits increased by P105
Million due to higher exchange rate compared from last year’s level. Service charges
and fees increased by 54.46% due to higher volume of transactions. Other operating
income increased by P93 Million due to higher profit on Sale or Redemption of
Investments.
Interest expense decreased by 3.88% due to lower average interest rates
compared form last year’s level. Occupancy and Equipment related expenses
increased by 16.06% due to advance payments of annual rentals of leased properties.
The provision for tax expense rose from P177 Million to P441 Million, a 149.15%
increase, as large portion of income earned were subjected to 20% final tax withheld
at source.
looks forward with keen anticipation and more productivity for the incoming years.

Part II - Other Information
Our financial report for the year 2013 was prepared in compliance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles as set forth in Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
(PFRS). The term PFRS in general includes all applicable PFRS, PAS and SIC/IFRIC
interpretations which have been approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council
(FRSC) and adopted by the SEC pronouncements. The same accounting policies and
methods of computation were consistently followed in our financial statements as
compared with the annual audited financial statements. There were no cash dividends
paid during the year of 2013. There were no material contingencies or any other unusual
events or transactions affecting our financial condition since December 31, 2012. There
are no known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have
had a material conflict on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no
material commitment for capital expenditures. There are no known trends, events or
uncertainties that have had a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net revenues
from continuing operations. Our Bank does not have any subsidiary. We don’t
anticipate any events that may cause any default or acceleration of an obligation. There
are no material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations, including
contingent obligations with unconsolidated entities.
PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. The standard
became effective for annual period or after January 1, 2013 but change the mandatory
effective date to January 1, 2015. The Bank opted not to implement early adoption of
PFRS 9 on its financial reporting. An evaluation was conducted early this year using the
outstanding balances of financial statements as of December 31, 2012. We believe that
there is no material impact in the financial statements for the adoption of PFRS 9.
For the year 2013, the Bank had no transactions that would require the following
information or disclosures:
.
a. Explanatory comments about the seasonality or cyclicality of interim
operations;
b. The nature and amount of items affecting assets, liabilities, equity, net income
or cash flows that are unusual because of their nature, size or incidents;
c. The nature and amount of changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior
interim periods of the current financial year or changes in estimates of
amounts reported in prior financial years, if those changes have a material
effect in the current interim period;
d. Issuances, repurchases and repayments of debt and equity securities;
e. Segment revenue and segment result for business segments or geographical
segments, whichever is the issuer’s primary basis of segment reporting;
f. Material events subsequent to the end of the interim period that have not been
reflected in the financial statements for the interim period.
g. The effect of changes in the composition of the issuer during the interim
period, including business combinations, acquisition or disposal of
subsidiaries and long term investments, restructurings, and discontinuing
operations;
h. Existence of material contingencies and any other events or transactions that
are material to an understanding of the current interim period.
i. Any significant elements of income or loss that did not arise from the issuer’s
continuing operations.
j. Any seasonal aspects that had a material effect on the financial condition or
results of operations.
ANNEX C3
Financial Condition
The Bank closed the year 2014 with Total Resources reaching a new record
high of P126.287 Billion, an increase of P5.334 Billion or 4.41% over the previous
year. Due from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) which rose by 20.78% from
P26.418 Billion to P31.907 Billion. The increase was attributable to higher placement
of Special Deposit Accounts (SDA) to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Due from Other
Banks increased by 113.36% from P916.0 Million to P1.955 Billion, mainly triggered
by higher volume of inward remittances from both local and foreign correspondent
banks. Available for sale securities increased by 12.84% or by P4.946 Billion as the
Bank rationalized its holdings of investment securities. Loans and Receivables
decreased by 12.69% or by P5.293 Billion, this was mainly due to decreased in
Reverse Agreement with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Cash and Cash Items
declined by 1.90% as funds were shifted to higher yielding securities. Held to
Maturity Securities fell down by 16.59% or by P1.024 Billion as the Bank sold down
maturing securities for profit taking. Other resources increased by 52.77% as
movements in these asset accounts can be accounted for by transactions in the
ordinary course of business.
Deposit Liabilities of P102.708 Billion increased by 2.36% compared to last
year’s level of P100.344 Billion. Deposit growth came mainly from Current and
Time Deposits with a 13.58% and 5.82% increase respectively. The 13.36%
decreased in Treasurer’s, Cashier’s, and Manager’s Checks outstanding represents
lower volume of outstanding checks issued. Accrued Taxes and Other Expenses
decreased by 24.42% due to payment of fringe benefits such as annual leaves and
bonus incentives. Deferred credits and other liabilities posted less than 10% year to
date change but their total variance did not have any material impact on Total
Resources. All payables were paid within the stated terms.
Capital Funds reached the P23 Billion mark, now at P23.151 Billion,
reflecting a 15.16% or P3.047 Billion increase. This is the impact of the P1.006
Billion in earnings for the year and the increase in Net Unrealized Gains of P2.041
Billion. The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as of the year end is 37%, which is well
above the BSP minimum requirement of 10%, is also indicative of the sufficiency of
Bank’s Capital to support the current level of its risk assets.
guarantees that arise from the normal course of operations. The Bank does not
anticipate any losses that will materially affect its financial position and results of
operations. Changes in nature and amounts in the financial statements were due more
to market related factors inherent in nature of the issuers’ business operations and
were not considered unusual.
Total Gross Earnings amounted to P5.557 Billion compared to P6.388 Billion
of the previous year. Total interest income increased by P525.395 Million from
previous year’s level of P2.082 Billion to P2.607 Billion. Interest income on
Available for Sale Securities increased by 5.34%, this was almost offset by the
decrease in Held to Maturity by 15.40%, due to Market volatility. Income from
foreign exchange profits decreased by P92.755 Million because of fluctuation of
exchange rate compared from last year’s level. Other operating income decreased by
67.82% because of lower transactions volume for the year.
Interest expense decreased by 15.89% due to lower interest compared from
last year’s level. Disposal of some transportation and other equipments resulted to
lower depreciation expense. Compensation and fringe benefits decreased by 1.26%.
Occupancy and equipment related expenses increased due to construction and
renovations of Branch sites. Taxes and licenses increased by 14.05% due to higher
GRT remittances and other related BIR payments. Other operating expenses
increased by 14.88% brought about by higher insurance and security services. The
provision for tax expense decreased by P143.111 Million compared from last year’s
level due to lower income which subjected to 20% final tax. Net income for the period
closed at P1.006 Billion.
looks forward with keen anticipation to the incoming years of the 21st century. It will
avail of opportunities and meet it challenges with the same dedication and
conservative policies that have characterized its corporate life. The Bank will
continue to focus on its core business and to deepen its banking relationship with
more prospective client’s ad to offer more excellent customer service. We will further
strengthen the corporate governance and risk’s management structure.

we have proven in the past, and make the Bank an even stronger financial institution.
We will continue investing in technology and thereby fully support electronic
commerce in the coming years.

(b) Provide a brief summary of the corporate governance policy that the board of
directors has adopted. Please emphasize the policy/ies relative to the treatment of
all shareholders, respect for the rights of minority shareholders and of other
stakeholders, disclosure duties, and board responsibilities.
The Board of Directors is primarily responsible for the
governance of the corporation. Corollary to setting the policies for the
accomplishment of the corporate objectives, it shall provide an
independent check on Management.
It is the Board’s responsibility to foster the long-term success of
the corporation, and to sustain its competitiveness and profitability in a
manner consistent with its corporate objectives and the best interest of
the stockholders, employees, depositors and other stakeholders.
The Board should formulate the corporate vision, mission,
strategic objectives, policies and procedures that shall guide its
activities, including the means to effectively monitor Management’s
performance.
The Board of Directors and Management are committed to the
principles and best practices contained in its Manual on Corporate
Governance that guides it in attaining the corporate goals.
The Board respects the right of the stockholders to vote in all
matters that require their consent, pre-emptive right to all stock issuance
of the corporation/right to inspect corporate book and records, right to
information, right to dividends and appraisal right.
The Board has adopted the principle of “One share, one vote”
policy to ensure that all stockholders are treated equally. However in the
election of Directors every stockholder is entitled to cumulate his shares
in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation Code. Cumulative
voting enables minority stockholders to elect a representative in the
Board.
By having three (3) Independent Directors, the Board has
established an effective voting mechanism that protects the minority
stockholders against actions of the controlling stockholders.
Timely notices of the annual and special stockholders meetings
are sent to all stockholders within the required period and full
disclosures are made to the regulatory agencies and stock exchange so
that the general public and stakeholders are duly informed.

F. RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
1) Disclose the following:
(a) Overall risk management philosophy of the company;
In general, the bank will inculcate a risk/return consciousness
throughout the organization in order to preserve capital and ensure
adequate return on capital for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Particularly, the risk objectives will be to 1) identify, measure and
control risks inherent in the bank’s activities or embedded in its
portfolio, 2) define and disseminate the risk philosophy and policies,
3) assist risk-taking business and operating units in understanding
and measuring risk/return profiles, 4) develop risk and control
infrastructure, and 5) institutionalize the risk process.
(b) A statement that the directors have reviewed the effectiveness of the risk
management system and commenting on the adequacy thereof;
A risk assessment of the Bank’s risk profile in its balance
sheet and operations is done every quarter, the latest of which was
for the period December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.
(c) Period covered by the review;
The latest risk report was for the period December 31, 2012
to March 31, 2013. The risk assessment report is done every calendar
quarter.
(d) How often the risk management system is reviewed and the directors’ criteria for
assessing its effectiveness;
The risk management system is reviewed by the Board on an
annual basis and the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of bank’s
risk process are, 1) quality of management oversight, 2) adequacy of
risk processes, policies and procedures, 3) the appropriateness of
measurement system, risk limits, monitoring and information
system, and 4) the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of internal
controls, audit, and compliance program.
38
(e) Where no review was conducted during the year, an explanation why not.
Not applicable.
2) Risk Policy
(a) Company
Give a general description of the company’s risk management policy, setting out
and assessing the risk/s covered by the system (ranked according to priority),
along with the objective behind the policy for each kind of risk:
Risk Exposure
Credit
Market
Liquidity
Operations
(Compliance,
Systems, Personnel, Processes,
Reputational)
Risk Management Policy
Objective
The risk process is applied in
conjunction with and actually
reemphasizes the principles
and policies enshrined in the
Bank’s Credit Policy Manual
All risk taking activities are
subject to limits, which are
sponsored by the business unit
head, recommended by the
Risk Management Committee
and approved by Board of
Directors. In general, market
risks are bounded by a measure
of value-at-risk or earnings-atrisk. Strategic limits are set for
all risking taking activities for
which sub-limits are derived
i.e. factor sensitivity limits and
nominal
position
limits.
Further stress testing of
position is also done.
Liquidity management is a
fundamental precondition to
achieving all other banking
activities strategically mapped
by the Risk Management
Committee
through
the
Asset/Liability Committee, and
actively managed by the
Treasury and overseen by the
Risk Control and Compliance
(Audit) through a system of
limits and reports.
Operations risk as a qualitative
risk is controlled through
policies and procedures. The
Bank implements standards, a
comprehensive and effective
internal control, audit and
compliance program that must
be adhered to by management
and staff in its activities.
Through the application of the
Risk Process, the bank will
mitigate the risk inherent in
lending brought by adverse
selection and moral hazard.
Through the application of the
risk
process
specifically
prudent risk limits the bank
will monitor and control
exposure to volatility in
interest and foreign exchange
rates and the interaction of
these factors resulting to asset
price fluctuations.
Our management has achieved
a
stable
core
deposit.
Speculative
and
volatile
deposit is not significant in the
bank books.
The organization is set in such
a
way
that
effective
segregation of duties, internal
controls and accountabilities
are achieved.
