2013 Annual Report About The Cover

“One’s conduct should be modelled after a tree, the trunk is rooted while its leaves ourish...” - Chinese proverb

China ’s identity and history are anchored on deeply-rooted and time-honored values, and a heritage of principled banking that nurtured generations of trusted and successful partnerships. These deep roots provide a firm foundation for the Bank’s growth.

Corporate Pro le

China Banking Corporation (China Bank), stock symbol CHIB, was incorporated on July 20, 1920 and commenced business on August 16, 1920 as the rst privately-owned commercial bank in the Philippines, catering initially to the needs of Chinese-Filipino businessmen. It played a key role in post-World War II reconstruction and economic recovery through its support to businesses and entrepreneurs in critical industries. China Bank was listed on the local stock exchange by 1947, and acquired its universal banking license in 1991. The Bank serves the corporate, commercial, middle, and retail markets with a wide range of domestic and international banking services. It is one of the largest universal in the country in terms of assets, capital base, and market value.

PLANTERSBANK: UNITING FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

Our recent acquisition of Planters Development Bank (Plantersbank), the largest privately-owned independent development bank with a 40-year history of serving small-and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs), supports our strong commitment to SME nance. This deal bolsters China Bank’s current strategy in two areas—growing our middle market/SME portfolio and accelerating our network expansion program. With this acquisition, we combine the strong legacy of both institutions to strengthen China Bank’s presence in the SME and middle market, and ensure the continued development of broad-based access to nancial products and solutions for SMEs.

Plantersbank is the fourth largest thrift bank in the Philippines in terms of assets and loans, which stood at P50.2 billion and P34.5 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. Of Plantersbank’s total loan portfolio, over 60% is lent to SME-focused loan categories. It has a network of 78 branches as of end-2013—24 in Metro Manila, 44 in Luzon, and ve each in Visayas and Mindanao—and 64 ATMs nationwide. Its success in SME banking has been recognized through numerous citations and awards, reinforcing its position as the country’s leading bank for SMEs.

With Plantersbank now part of the China Bank Group, China Bank is the fth largest private China Bank’s acquisition of Plantersbank was universal bank in the country with P464 billion in assets as of December 31, 2013.

We are working very hard and very thoroughly for a seamless and successful merger, ensuring that we will be stronger in the SME and middle markets. The Integration Committee is leading the integration and transition activities, enjoining all China Bank, CBS, and Plantersbank personnel to work together in harmony to attain established targets for 2014, and at the same time, ensure that business goes on and our customers are not affected by the transition. The eventual merger will make China Bank a more formidable competitor. We will have a wider, more strategic geographic footprint as CBS will absorb the 78 branches and the two unopened branch licenses of Plantersbank. The combined expertise of the China Bank and Plantersbank team in SME nance will bring about an effective platform for the pro-active and consistent support for entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses with us.

60 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION ON RESULT OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

China Bank recorded a net income of P5.10 billion for 2013, up by 1.95% from the P5.00 billion registered in the same period last year. This income performance translates to an 11.31% return on equity and 1.45% return on assets.

Total operating income consisting of net interest income and fee-based income grew by 8.95% or P1.24 billion to P 15.10 billion. However, total operating expenses (including provision for impairment and credit losses) increased by 10.57% or P890.94 million mainly from the Bank’s on-going business and branch expansion.

Net interest income improved to P9.94 billion, 23.24% higher than 2012 due to higher volume of earning assets that generated more interest income, coupled with a decline in borrowing costs that decreased interest expense. Consequently, net interest margin stood at 2.98% from 2.90% last year.

Total fee-based income decreased by 10.93% to P5.16 billion from P5.79 billion last year mainly from the 34.68% drop in trading gains to P1.90 billion as interest rates volatility diminished opportunities for trading gains. Trust fees were lower at P135.23 million due to lower trust volume from the full phase-out of SDA investments held under Trust arrangements. Gain on sale of investment properties increased by 58.79% to P462.74 million due to higher sales volume of foreclosed properties. The foreign exchange loss of P89.66 million was due to the negative interest differential on forex swaps and forex revaluation losses. Service charges, fees and commissions increased by 10.52% boosted by investment banking fees and commissions. Miscellaneous income, mainly from dividends earned by the Parent bank and higher bancassurance commissions, grew to P1.09 billion. Share of total fee-based income to total revenues was at 26.82%.

Total operating expenses (excluding provision for impairment and credit losses) increased by 8.71% as the Bank continued to expand business operations, open new branches, hire additional manpower and invest in technology. The material components of operating expenses include compensation & fringe bene ts which accounted for 34.94%, occupancy cost at 13.81%, taxes & licenses at 9.30%, and depreciation & amortization at 8.45%. Cost-to-income ratio stood at 59.00%. With the growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio, provision for impairment and credit losses was increased to P414.34 million, improving the loan loss coverage ratio to 146.62% from 134.88% in 2012.

The sustained pro tability contributed to the Bank’s capital strength, enabling the consistent payment of dividends to stockholders. For 2013, China Bank paid cash dividends of P1.20 per share for a total of P1.56 billion, representing a total payout of 31.04% of prior year’s net income. The Bank also declared a 10% stock dividend or P1.30 billion.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of year-end 2013, the Bank’s total assets expanded to P413.70 billion or 27.62% higher than 2012, mainly from growth in loan portfolio and liquid assets supported by strong deposit growth.

Driven by higher demand from all customer segments: consumer, commercial and corporate, loans and receivables-net grew to P220.54 billion or by 16.01%. Customers from real estate, renting & business services comprised 26.46% of the Bank’s gross loan portfolio (inclusive of UDSCL), followed by wholesale & retail trade at 15.13%, manufacturing at 14.37%, and nancial intermediaries at 8.57%. More effective credit risk management led to a 10.0% drop in the Bank’s non-performing loans (NPLs) to P4.52 billion, reducing the NPL ratio to 1.99% and improving the loan loss coverage ratio to 146.62%, one of the best in the industry.

Liquid assets increased by 49.76% to P177.06 billion as higher liquid funds were allocated to deposits with banks and placements with BSP. Total investment securities which consist of Financial Assets at Fair Value through Pro t or Loss, Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets reached P66.92 billion, representing 16.18% of total assets in keeping with the Bank’s strategy of reducing the share of treasury-managed assets to total assets.

On the liabilities side, total deposits increased by 30.26% to P354.27 billion, which can be attributed to the growth across all products: demand deposits by 26.60%, savings deposits by 37.01% and time deposits by 16.88%. The growth in deposits mainly funded the expansion in loan portfolio.

Total capital funds reached P45.40 billion, 6.23% higher than 2012. The Bank’s capital is largely comprised of Tier 1 (core) capital, the increase in which is mainly due to current year pro ts. Net unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale nancial assets declined by P1.44 billion or 105.83% due to the decrease in market value of unsold securities. The Bank’s Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 14.50% and total CAR of 15.39% remained substantially higher than the 10% regulatory minimum requirement.

Annual Report 2013 61 DISCLOSURE ON CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Capital Fundamentals

We believe that China Bank can only achieve sustainable growth by maintaining strong capital fundamentals. Major business initiatives are undertaken with the appropriate capital planning which also takes into consideration constraints and changes in the regulatory environment. This is necessary to ensure that our commercial objectives are equally aligned with our ability to maintain a capital position superior to the industry. The Board and Senior Management recognizes that a balance should be achieved with respect to China Bank’s earnings outlook vis-à-vis capital fundamentals that can take advantage of growth opportunities while increasing the Bank’s ability to absorb shocks.

66 Market Risk-Weighted Assets

The Standardized Approach is used in China Bank’s market risk-weighted assets. The total market risk-weighted asset of the Bank as of December 2013 is PhP3.7 Bn for both parent and consolidated basis. This is composed of Interest Rate exposures amounting to PhP3.0 Bn and Foreign Exposures amounting to PhP0.7Bn.

Total Market Risk-Weighted Assets 3,724.44 6,933.03 2,139.56

Operational, Legal, and Other Risks

For Operational Risk, the exposure of the Bank is profiled using a number of methodologies which also include a scenario analysis exercise as part of the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) to validate if the computed capital requirement using the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) is enough to cover estimated losses arising from very adverse operating conditions and major incidents. For the 2014 ICAAP submission, the Bank allocated the amount of PhP2.04Bn as capital for Operational Risk which is more than adequate to cover the exposure from our scenario analysis exercise. In fact, the BIA provides a capital buffer of as much as PhP 903.54Mn.

Tools such as the Risks and Controls Self-Assessment (RCSA), the analysis of historical Loss Reports and the monitoring of Key Risk Indicators (KRI) further allow Risk Management to identify high risk areas, loss drivers, and trends which can be acted upon by Management to prevent material failures in our processes, people, systems, and resiliency measures against external events. These results are periodically reported to Management and cover all aspects of the business from core operating capabilities of the units, all products and services, outstanding legal cases, and even its sales and marketing practices.

Operational Risk-Weighted Assets

The BIA is used in computing China Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets. On a parent basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets as of December 2013 is PhP19.91 Bn while on a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets is PhP20.40 Bn. On a parent basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets as of December 2012 is PhP20.33Bn while on a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets is PhP20.74Bn. On a parent basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets as of December 2011 is PhP18.71Bn while on a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets is PhP18.99Bn.

Internal measurement of interest rate risk in the banking book

The Bank’s interest rate risk (IRR) originates from holdings of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities. Internally, the Earnings-at-Risk (EaR) method is used to determine the effects of adverse interest rate change on the Bank’s interest earnings. The Bank’s loans is assumed affected by interest rate movements on its repricing date for floating rates and on its maturity date for fixed rates.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Banking Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Group) and the parent company financial statements of China Banking Corporation (the Parent Company), which comprise the consolidated and parent company balance sheets as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated and parent company statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated and the parent company financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group and of the Parent Company as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

Report on the Supplementary Information Required Under Revenue Regulations 15-2010 and 19-2011

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information required under Revenue Regulations 15-2010 and 19-2011 in Notes 37 and 38 to the parent company financial statements, respectively, is presented for purposes of filing with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the management of China Banking Corporation. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SM Investments Corporation, its significant investor, has effective ownership in the Parent Company of 19.54% and 20.63% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Parent Company’s principal place of business is at 8745 Paseo de Roxas corner Villar Streets, Makati City.

Merger of CBSI with Unity Bank The Board of Directors (BOD) of CBSI, in its meeting held last June 6, 2013, approved the proposed merger with Unity Bank. The terms of the Plan of Merger of CBSI with Unity Bank were approved by CBSI’s stockholders in their meeting held on July 18, 2013.

On November 22, 2013, the Monetary Board (MB), in its Resolution No. 1949, approved the Plan of Merger and Articles of Merger of CBSI and Unity Bank subject to certain conditions.

Acquisition of Planters Development Bank On September 18, 2013, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the Parent Company’s acquisition of at least 66.67% of the outstanding subscribed capital stock of Planters Development Bank (PDB). On the same date, the Parent Company, the PDB Shareholders, and PDB entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) wherein the PDB Shareholders agreed to sell their shares in PDB representing at least 66.67% of the total outstanding capital stock of PDB to the Parent Company at an estimated price of P15.54 per share.

On December 4, 2013, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the amendments to the P2.00 Billion Local Currency Money Market Line sub-limit approved for PDB by the BOD on November 6, 2013. The amendments include the increase in the sub- limit of the clean credit line from P1.00 billion to P1.30 billion and the option to convert availments from the clean credit line to equity, if warranted, subject to and at any time following the financial closing of the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to be executed pursuant to the MOA. As of December 31, 2013, outstanding availments of PDB from the clean credit line amounted to P500.0 million which is reported under ‘Due from other banks’. This availment matured on January 3, 2014.

On December 18, 2013, the Parent Company and the selling PDB Shareholders executed the SPA for the acquisition of the latter’s 84.77% equity interest in PDB in exchange for cash consideration. The SPA includes closing conditions and activities to be fulfilled by both the Parent Company and the selling PDB Shareholders on or before the Closing Date defined under the SPA. These closing conditions and activities include (a) the execution of the deed of absolute sale of the shares of all the Sale Shares belonging to the PDB Shareholders in favor of the Parent Company; (b) settlement of the Closing Amount for the shares purchased; (c) resignation of the incumbent PDB BOD; (d) the approval of the BSP’s MB of the transfer of the Sale Shares from the PDB Shareholders to the Parent Company; (e) compliance of both Parent Company and PDB Shareholders with the agreed covenants, representations and warranties; and (f) filing and submission of the necessary documentary requirements.

Also on December 18, 2013, the Parent Company obtained the MB’s approval-in-principle of the merger between PDB with either the Parent Company or CBSI within three years from December 13, 2013 (the date of MB approval), the first stage of which is the acquisition by the Parent Company of 84.77% of the outstanding subscribed capital stock of PDB. Such approval-in-principle is subject to submission of the necessary requirements. Further, the MB granted the Parent Company with certain incentives and reliefs as allowed under the Strengthening Program for Rural Bank (SPRB) Plus Framework but subject to compliance with regulatory requirements.

On January 15, 2014, both the Parent Company and majority of the selling PDB Shareholders complied with most of the closing conditions pursuant to the SPA (see Note 35).

The acquisition is considered a strategic move consistent with the Parent Company’s business plan, which calls for the most rapid geographical expansion and a faster expansion of its consumer and middle market/SME portfolio.

78 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets, and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, and all values are rounded to the nearest peso except when otherwise indicated.

The financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. In addition, the Group presents an additional balance sheet at the beginning of the earliest period presented when there is a retrospective application of an accounting policy, a retrospective restatement, or a reclassification of items in financial statements. An additional balance sheet as at January 1, 2012 is presented in these financial statements due to retrospective application of certain accounting policies as discussed in the ‘Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures’ section of this note.

The financial statements of the Parent Company reflect the accounts maintained in the Regular Banking Unit (RBU) and Foreign Currency Deposit Unit (FCDU). The financial statements of these units are combined after eliminating inter-unit accounts.

Statement of Compliance The financial statements of the Group and the Parent Company have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).

Presentation of Financial Statements The Group and the Parent Company present its balance sheets in order of liquidity. An analysis regarding recovery of assets or settlement of liabilities within 12 months after the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months after the reporting date (non- current) is presented in Note 21.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheets only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are not offset in the statement of income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation, and as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the Group and the Parent Company.

Basis of Consolidation and Investments in Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant intra-group balances, transactions and income and expenses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

• power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) • exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and • the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

• the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee • rights arising from other contractual arrangements • the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Annual Report 2013 79 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

• Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary • Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest • Derecognizes the related OCI recorded in equity and recycle the same to profit or loss or surplus • Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received • Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained • Recognizes the remaining difference in profit or loss • Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be recognized if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

Non-Controlling Interest Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company.

Non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. Any losses applicable to the non-controlling interest are allocated against the interests of the non-controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following new, amendments and improvements to PFRS which became effective as of January 1, 2013. Except as otherwise indicated, these changes in the accounting policies did not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group:

New and Amended Standards and Interpretations • PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements • Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011) • PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)

Improvements to PFRSs (2009-2011 cycle) • PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS - Borrowing Costs • PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the requirements for comparative information • PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of servicing equipment • PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Tax effect of distribution to holders of equity instruments • PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - Interim financial reporting and segment information for total assets and liabilities

Standards that have been adopted and are deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the Group are described below:

PFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or ‘similar agreement’, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format, unless another format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting period: a) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities; b) The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining the net amounts presented in the balance sheet; c) The net amounts presented in the balance sheet; d) The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including: i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above.

The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. The additional disclosures required by the amendments are presented in Note 34 to the financial statements.

PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements The Group adopted PFRS 10 in the current year. PFRS 10 replaced the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, that addressed the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also included the issues raised in Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 established a single control model that applied to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by PFRS 10 require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27. Refer to Note 3 for the significant judgment made by management in identifying entities for consolidation. The Parent Company assessed that it remains to control all of its subsidiaries under the control principle of PFRS 10.

80 PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities PFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. The requirements in PFRS 12 are more comprehensive than the previously existing disclosure requirements for subsidiaries (for example, where a subsidiary is controlled with less than a majority of voting rights). None of the majority owned subsidiaries are held by non-controlling interests that are considered material to the Group and which will require additional disclosures by PFRS 12. Refer to Note 10 for the disclosure on the Parent Company’s equity investments.

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRSs for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS. PFRS 13 defines fair value as an exit price. PFRS 13 also requires additional disclosures.

As a result of the guidance in PFRS 13, the Group re-assessed its policies for measuring fair values, in particular, its valuation inputs such as non-performance risk for fair value measurement of liabilities. The Group has assessed that the application of PFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements of the Group. Additional disclosures, where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined. Fair value hierarchy is provided in Note 5.

PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income or OCI (Amendments) The Group applied the amendments to PAS 1 which introduced groupings of items in OCI as follows:

• items that can be reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement). These include ‘Cumulative Translation Adjustment’ or ‘Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Available-for-Sale Financial Assets’; or • items that will never be recycled to profit or loss. These include ‘Remeasurement gain on defined benefit asset or liability’.

The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised) Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and rewording. The revised standard also requires new disclosures such as, among others, a sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, information on asset-liability matching strategies, duration of the defined benefit obligation, and disaggregation of plan assets by nature and risk.

The adoption of the revised standard, which required retrospective application, resulted in the restatement of previously reported retirement plan of the Group. The adjustment amounts were determined by the Group with an assistance of an external actuary. The Group closed to ‘Surplus’ the net effect of all transition adjustments as at January 1, 2011 (the transition date) upon retrospective application of PAS 19 (Revised). The Group will retain the remeasurements recognized in OCI and will not transfer these to other items in equity.

The effects of adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) are detailed below:

Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Parent Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries is the Philippine peso.

Transactions and balances The books of accounts of the RBU are maintained in Philippine peso, the RBU’s functional currency, while those of the FCDU are maintained in United States (US) dollars (USD), the FCDU’s functional currency. For financial reporting purposes, the foreign currency- denominated monetary assets and liabilities in the RBU are translated in Philippine peso based on the Philippine Dealing System (PDS) closing rate prevailing at end of the year, and foreign currency-denominated income and expenses, at the PDS weighted average rate (PDSWAR) for the year. Foreign exchange differences arising from restatements of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are credited to or charged against operations in the period in which the rates change. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the 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.

FCDU As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of the FCDU are translated into the Parent Company’s presentation currency (the Philippine Peso) at the PDS closing rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and its income and expenses are translated at the PDSWAR for the year. Exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to the statement of comprehensive income under ‘Cumulative translation adjustment’.

Fair Value Measurement The Group measures financial instruments such as financial assets at FVPL and AFS investments at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 5.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• in the principal market for the asset or liability, or • in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

82 All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable • Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and other cash items, due from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and other banks, and securities purchased under resale agreements (SPURA) which have original maturities of three months or less from dates of placements and that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

SPURA The Group enters into short-term purchases of securities under resale agreements of identical securities with the BSP. Resale agreements are contracts under which a party purchases securities and resells such securities to the same selling party at a specified future date at a fixed price. The amounts advanced under resale agreements are carried as ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ in the balance sheet. SPURA are carried at cost. Interest earned on resale agreements is reported as ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income.

Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement Date of recognition Purchases or sales of financial assets, except for derivatives, that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the settlement date. Settlement date accounting refers to (a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the Group, and (b) the derecognition of an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the day that such asset is delivered by the Group. Any change in fair value of unrecognized financial asset is recognized in the statement of income for assets classified as financial assets at FVPL, and in equity for assets classified as AFS investments. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis. Deposits, amounts due to banks and customers and loans are recognized when cash is received by the Group or advanced to the borrowers.

Initial recognition of financial instruments All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. Except for financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL, the initial measurement of financial instruments includes transaction costs. The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) financial assets, AFS financial assets, and loans and receivables while financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at FVPL and financial liabilities carried at amortized cost. 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.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and liabilities held for trading purposes, financial assets and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL, and derivative instruments.

Financial instruments held for trading Financial instruments held for trading (HFT) include government debt securities and quoted equity securities purchased and held principally with the intention of selling them in the near term. These securities are carried at fair value; realized and unrealized gains and losses on these instruments are recognized as ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred on financial instruments held for trading is reported under ‘Interest income’ (for financial assets) and ‘Interest expense’ (for financial liabilities).

Financial instruments designated at FVPL Financial assets and financial liabilities are designated as at FVPL by management on initial recognition when any of the following criteria is 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; or • the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or • the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded.

Annual Report 2013 83 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in ‘Interest income’ or ‘Interest expense’, respectively, while dividend income is recorded in ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right to receive payment has been established.

Derivatives recorded at FVPL The Parent Company is a party to derivative instruments, particularly, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps (IRS) and warrants. These contracts are entered into as a service to customers and as a means of reducing and managing the Parent Company’s foreign exchange risk, and interest rate risk as well as for trading purposes, but are not designated as hedges. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value through profit or loss.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the statement of income under ‘ Foreign exchange gain - net’ for forward exchange contracts and ‘Trading and securities gain-net’ for IRS, warrants and embedded credit derivatives.

Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host financial and non-financial contracts are also accounted for at FVPL.

An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met: a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristic of the host contract; b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host contracts when the Group first becomes a party to the contract. Reassessment of embedded derivatives is only done when there are changes in the contract that significantly modifies the contractual cash flows that would otherwise be required.

Held-to-maturity financial assets HTM financial assets are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities for which the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Where the Group would sell other than an insignificant amount of HTM financial assets, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS financial assets.

After initial measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment in value. Amortized 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 (EIR). The amortization is included in ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the HTM financial assets are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income under ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’. The effects of translation of foreign currency-denominated HTM financial assets are recognized in the statement of income.

Loans and receivable This accounting policy relates to the balance sheet captions ‘Due from BSP’, ‘Due from other banks’, ‘SPURA’, ‘Loans and receivables’, and ‘Accrued interest receivable’. It also applies to accounts receivable and other financial instruments shown under ‘Other assets’. These are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than:

• those that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the near term and those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as FVPL; • those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as AFS; and • those for which the Group may not cover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration.

After initial measurement, these are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortization is included under ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized under ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income.

Available-for-sale financial assets AFS financial assets are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as financial assets at FVPL, HTM financial assets, or loans and receivables. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. They include equity investments, money market papers and other debt instruments.

After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of translation of foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in the statement of income. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS financial assets are excluded, net of tax, from reported earnings and are reported as ‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS financial assets’ under OCI.

When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is recognized as ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned on holding AFS debt securities are reported as ‘Interest income’ using the EIR. Dividends earned on holding AFS equity instruments are recognized in the statement of income as ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right to the payment has been established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized as ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income.

84 Other financial liabilities These are issued financial instruments or their components which are not designated as at FVPL and where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset 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 its own equity shares. The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue.

After initial measurement, other financial liabilities not qualified and not designated as at FVPL are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the EIR.

This accounting policy relates to the balance sheet captions ‘Deposit liabilities’, ‘Bills payable’, ‘Manager’s checks’, and financial liabilities presented under ‘Accrued interest and other expenses’ and ‘Other liabilities’.

Reclassification of Financial Assets The Group may reclassify, in certain circumstances, non-derivative financial assets out of the HFT investments category and into the AFS investments, Loans and Receivables or HTM investments categories. The Group may also reclassify, in certain circumstances, financial instruments out of the AFS investment to Loans and Receivables category. Reclassifications are recorded at fair value at the date of reclassification, which becomes the new amortized cost.

The Group may reclassify a non-derivative trading asset out of HFT investments and into the Loans and Receivable category if it meets the definition of loans and receivables, the Group has the intention and ability to hold the financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity and only in rare circumstances. If a financial asset is reclassified, and if the Group subsequently increases its estimates of future cash receipts as a result of increased recoverability of those cash receipts, the effect of that increase is recognized as an adjustment to the EIR from the date of the change in estimate.

For a financial asset reclassified out of the AFS investments category, any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognized in OCI is amortized to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest method. Any difference between the new amortized cost and the expected cash flows is also amortized over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest method. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired then the amount recorded in OCI is recycled to the statement of income. Reclassification is at the election of management, and is determined on an instrument by instrument basis. The Group does not reclassify any financial instrument into the FVPL category after initial recognition. An analysis of reclassified financial assets is disclosed in Note 8.

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of financial assets) is derecognized when:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or • the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or • the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income.

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date (‘repos’) are not derecognized from the balance sheet. The corresponding cash received, including accrued interest, is recognized in the balance sheet as a loan to the Group, reflecting the economic substance of such transaction.

Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date (‘reverse repos’) are not recognized in the balance sheet. The corresponding cash paid, including accrued interest, is recognized in the balance sheet as SPURA, and is considered a loan to the counterparty.

Annual Report 2013 85 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The difference between the purchase price and resale price is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method.

Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that 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.

Financial assets carried at amortized cost For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Group 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 there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original EIR.

If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current EIR, 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. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the statement of income. Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original EIR of the asset. The financial assets, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized.

If the Group 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. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment for impairment.

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit risk characteristics as industry, collateral type and past-due status.

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 as 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.

If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, any amounts formerly charged are credited to ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’.

Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

Available-for-sale financial assets For AFS financial assets, the Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, this 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 statement of income - is removed from OCI and recognized in the statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in OCI.

86 In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of ‘Interest income’ in the 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 statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income.

Restructured loans Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due. Management continuously reviews restructured loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan’s original EIR. The difference between the recorded value of the original loan and the present value of the restructured cash flows, discounted at the original EIR, is recognized in ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income.

Investment in Subsidiaries In the separate or parent company financial statements, investment in a subsidiary is carried at cost, less accumulated impairment in value. Dividends earned on this investment is recognized in the Parent Company’s statement of income as declared by the respective BOD of the investee.

Investment in Associates Associates pertain to all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20.00% and 50.00% of the voting rights. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying value of the investments and is not amortized. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

In the separate or parent company financial statements, investments in associates are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment in value. Dividends earned on these investments are recognized in the Parent Company’s statement of income as declared by the respective BOD of the investees.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

Business Combinations and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are charged to profit or loss.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, either in profit or loss or as a charge to OCI. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Annual Report 2013 87 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or group of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated:

• represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and • is not larger than an operating segment identified for segment reporting purposes.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Bank Premises, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value while 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. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment when that cost is incurred and if the recognition criteria are met, but excluding repairs and maintenance costs.

Depreciation and amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life (EUL) of the depreciable assets as follows:

EUL Buildings 50 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of 6 years or the related lease terms The depreciation and amortization method and useful life are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and leasehold improvements.

An item of bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized.

Investment Properties Investment properties include real properties acquired in settlement of loans and receivables which are measured initially at cost including certain transaction costs. Investment properties acquired through a nonmonetary asset exchange is measured initially at fair value unless (a) the exchange lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value.

Expenditures incurred after the investment properties have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to income in the period in which the costs are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the EUL of the building and improvement components of investment properties which ranged from 10 to 20 years from the time of acquisition of the investment properties.

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 gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is recognized as ‘Gain on sale of investment properties’ in the statement of income in the year of derecognition.

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 a view to sale.

Intangible Assets Intangible assets include branch licenses resulting from the Parent Company’s acquisition of CBSI and Unity Bank (see Notes 10 and 13).

88 The branch licenses are initially measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition and are deemed to have an indefinite useful life as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows for the Group.

Such intangible assets are not amortized, instead they are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit (CGU) level. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or group of cash- generating units) to which the intangible asset relates. Recoverable amount is the higher of the cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in earnings when the asset is derecognized.

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that its nonfinancial assets (e.g., investment in associates, investment properties, bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible assets) may be impaired. 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 unit’s) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the CGU to which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset (or CGU) 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 CGU).

An impairment loss is charged to operations in the year in which it arises.

For nonfinancial assets, excluding goodwill and branch licenses, 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, except for goodwill, only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of income. After such a reversal, the depreciation expense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life.

Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:

(a) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement; (b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term; (c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or (d) There is a substantial change to the asset.

Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c), or (d) above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b).

Group as lessee Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as lessor Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of 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.

Non-current Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets held for sale include repossessed vehicles acquired in settlement of loans and receivable. The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell (FVCTS).

Annual Report 2013 89 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

After initial measurement, non-current assets held for sale are tested for impairment quarterly. Any impairment loss shall be recognized for any subsequent write-down of the asset to its FVCTS.

Gain for any subsequent increase in FVCTS of the asset shall be recognized, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized had it not been impaired in prior reporting periods.

Capital Stock Capital stocks are recorded at par. Proceeds in excess of par value are recognized under equity as ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’ in the balance sheets. Incremental costs incurred which is directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax.

Surplus Surplus represents the net accumulated profit of the Parent Company less cumulative dividends declared.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Interest income For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial instruments classified as FVPL and AFS financial assets, interest income is recorded at the EIR, which 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 contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options), includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the EIR, as applicable, but not future credit losses. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original EIR. The change in carrying amount is recorded as ‘Interest income’.

Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original EIR applied to the new carrying amount.

Loan fees and service charges Loan commitment fees are recognized as earned over the terms of the credit lines granted to each borrower. Loan syndication fees are recognized upon completion of all syndication activities and 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 where there is a reasonable degree of certainty as to their collectability.

Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Trading and securities gain This represents results arising from trading activities including all gains and losses from changes in fair value of financial assets held for trading and designated at FVPL. It also includes gains and losses realized from sale of AFS financial assets.

Other income Income from sale of service is recognized upon rendition of the service. Income from sale of properties is recognized upon completion of the earning process and when the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.

Rental income Rental income arising on leased properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms on ongoing leases and is recorded in the statement of income under ‘Miscellaneous income’.

Expense Recognition Expense is recognized when it is probable that a decrease in future economic benefit related to a decrease in an asset or an increase in liability has occurred and the decrease in economic benefits can be measured reliably. Revenues and expenses that relate to the same transaction or other event are recognized simultaneously.

Interest Expense Interest expense for all interest-bearing financial liabilities are recognized in ‘Interest expense’ in the statement of income using the EIR of the financial liabilities to which they relate.

90 Other Expenses Expenses encompass losses as well as those expenses that arise in the ordinary course of business of the Group. Expenses are recognized when incurred.

Retirement Benefits Defined benefit plan The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets and adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liability. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method.

Defined benefit costs comprise the following: (a) service cost; (b) net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and (c) remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset.

Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment or curtailment occurs.

Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying the discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in profit or loss.

Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Parent Company, nor can they be paid directly to the Parent Company. The fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related obligations).

The Parent Company’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is virtually certain. If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized as a liability when they are accrued to the employees. The undiscounted liability for leave expected to be settled after the end of the annual reporting period is recognized for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and 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 statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Income Taxes Current Tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date.

Annual Report 2013 91 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred Tax Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits from the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax credits from MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax, however, is not recognized on temporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income.

Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries and associates.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Current tax and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is also recognized in equity and not in the statement of income.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year after giving retroactive effect to stock splits, stock dividends declared and stock rights exercised during the year, if any.

The Parent Company has no outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

Dividends on Common Shares Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when approved by the respective shareholders of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Dividends declared during the year that are approved after the balance sheet date are dealt with as an event after the balance sheet date.

Segment Reporting The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. Financial information on business segments is presented in Note 30. The Group’s revenue producing assets are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical location). Therefore, geographical segment information is no longer presented.

Fiduciary Activities Assets and income arising from fiduciary activities together with related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the financial statements where the Parent Company acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent.

Events after the Reporting Period Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the balance sheet date (adjusting event) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies

The Group will adopt the Standards and Interpretations enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Group does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations to have significant impact on its financial statements.

Effective 2014 Investment Entities (Amendments to PFRS 10, PFRS 12 and PAS 27) These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. They provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. It is not expected that this amendment would be relevant to the Group since none of the entities in the Group would qualify to be an investment entity under PFRS 10.

92 PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments) The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. The amendments to PAS 32 are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments) These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13 on the disclosures required under PAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 with earlier application permitted, provided PFRS 13 is also applied. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments) These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, Levies IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Group does not expect that IFRIC 21 will have material financial impact in future financial statements.

Effective 2015 onwards PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments) The amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. Contributions that are set out in the formal terms of the plan shall be accounted for as reductions to current service costs if they are linked to service or as part of the remeasurements of the net defined benefit asset or liability if they are not linked to service. Contributions that are discretionary shall be accounted for as reductions of current service cost upon payment of these contributions to the plans. The amendments to PAS 19 are to be applied retrospectively. The Group does not expect that the Amendments to PAS 19 will have material financial impact on the financial statements.

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement PFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Work on impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting is still ongoing, with a view to replacing PAS 39 in its entirety. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through OCI or profit or loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI.

The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

PFRS 9 currently has no mandatory effective date. PFRS 9 may be applied before the completion of the limited amendments to the classification and measurement model and impairment methodology.

An evaluation was conducted to determine the impact of early adoption of PFRS and the accounts affected are ‘Available-for-sale investments’ and ‘Loans and receivables’. As at December 31, 2013, the Group opted not to early adopt PFRS 9.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for Construction of Real Estate This interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The SEC and the Financial Reporting Standards Council have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and an evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. Adoption of the interpretation when it becomes effective will not have any impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Annual Report 2013 93 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to the following standards:

PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Definition of Vesting Condition The amendment revised the definitions of vesting condition and market condition and added the definitions of performance condition and service condition to clarify various issues. This amendment shall be prospectively applied to share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after July 1, 2014. This amendment does not apply to the Group as it has no share-based payments.

PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a Business Combination The amendment clarifies that a contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument should be classified as a financial liability or as equity in accordance with PAS 32.

Contingent consideration that is not classified as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls within the scope of PFRS 9 (or PAS 39, if PFRS 9 is not yet adopted). The amendment shall be prospectively applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2014. The Group shall consider this amendment for future business combinations.

PFRS 8, Operating Segments - Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation of the Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s Assets The amendments require entities to disclose the judgment made by management in aggregating two or more operating segments. This disclosure should include a brief description of the operating segments that have been aggregated in this way and the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the aggregated operating segments share similar economic characteristics. The amendments also clarify that an entity shall provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. These amendments are applied retrospectively. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Short-term Receivables and Payables The amendment clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Depreciation The amendment clarifies that, upon revaluation of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways:

a. The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses. b. The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

The amendment shall apply to all revaluations recognized in annual periods beginning on or after the date of initial application of this amendment and in the immediately preceding annual period. The Group does not expect that the Improvements to PAS 16 will have material financial impact on the financial statements.

PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures - Key Management Personnel The amendments clarify that an entity is a related party of the reporting entity if the said entity, or any member of a group for which it is a part of, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent company of the reporting entity. The amendments also clarify that a reporting entity that obtains management personnel services from another entity (also referred to as management entity) is not required to disclose the compensation paid or payable by the management entity to its employees or directors. The reporting entity is required to disclose the amounts incurred for the key management personnel services provided by a separate management entity. The amendments are applied retrospectively. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Amortization The amendments clarify that, upon revaluation of an intangible asset, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways:

a. The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated amortization at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses. b. The accumulated amortization is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

The amendments also clarify that the amount of the adjustment of the accumulated amortization should form part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount accounted for in accordance with the Standard.

The amendments shall apply to all revaluations recognized in annual periods beginning on or after the date of initial application of this amendment and in the immediately preceding annual period. The amendments have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

94 Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle) The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to the following standards:

PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards - Meaning of ‘Effective PFRSs’ The amendment clarifies that an entity may choose to apply either a current standard or a new standard that is not yet mandatory, but that permits early application, provided either standard is applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the entity’s first PFRS financial statements. This amendment is not applicable to the Group as it is not a first-time adopter of PFRS.

PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Scope Exceptions for Joint Arrangements The amendment clarifies that PFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The amendment is applied prospectively.

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Portfolio Exception The amendment clarifies that the portfolio exception in PFRS 13 can be applied to financial assets, financial liabilities and other contracts. The amendment is applied prospectively. The amendment has no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 40, Investment Property The amendment clarifies the interrelationship between PFRS 3 and PAS 40 when classifying property as investment property or owner-occupied property. The amendment stated that judgment is needed when determining whether the acquisition of investment property is the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets or a business combination within the scope of PFRS 3. This judgment is based on the guidance of PFRS 3. This amendment is applied prospectively. The amendment has no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.

Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgments a. Assessment of control over the entities for consolidation The Group has majority owned subsidiaries discussed in Note 2. Management concluded that the Group controls these wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries through its voting rights and, therefore, consolidates these entities in its consolidated financial statements.

Management also assessed that it has not yet obtained control over PDB as of December 31, 2013 because the substantive closing conditions pursuant to the SPA with the PDB Shareholders have not yet been satisfied as at year-end.

b. Assessment of significant influence over an associate Management concluded that the Parent Company has significant influence over an associate even though it holds less than 20.00% of the voting rights because of the arrangement entered into with the associate’s majority owner that grants the Parent Company with a representation in the associate’s BOD which allows it to participate in the policy-making process of the associate (see Note 10).

c. Functional currency PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, requires management to use its judgment in determining 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 Group considers the following:

• the currency that mainly influences sales prices for financial instruments and services (this will often be the currency in which sales prices for its financial instruments and services are denominated and settled); • the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and • the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.

d. Fair value of financial instruments The Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financial asset is quoted in an active market is the determination of whether quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions conducted on an arm’s length basis.

Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques acceptable to the market as alternative valuation approaches that include the use of mathematical models. The inputs to these models are 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 for longer dated derivatives.

Annual Report 2013 95 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

e. HTM financial assets The classification to HTM financial assets 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 an insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be required to reclassify the entire portfolio as part of AFS financial assets. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value and not at amortized cost.

f. Embedded derivatives The Group assesses the existence of an embedded derivative when it first becomes a party to the contract and performs reassessment if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

An embedded derivative is separated from the host financial or nonfinancial contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met:

• the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristic of the host contract; • a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and • the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at FVPL.

The Group determines whether a modification to cash flows is significant by considering the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the embedded derivative, the host contract or both have changed and whether the change is significant relative to the previously expected cash flows on the contract.

Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts are accounted for as financial assets or liabilities at FVPL. Changes in fair values of embedded derivatives are included in the statement of income. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s investment in preferred shares contains embedded derivatives in the form of an optional redemption feature. The embedded option together with the preferred shares have been designated by management as at FVPL (Note 8).

g. Operating leases The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined based on the evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements (i.e., the lease does not transfer the ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, the lessee has no option to purchase the asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option is exercisable and the lease term is not for the major part of the asset’s economic life), that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out under operating leases.

The Group has also entered into leases on premises it uses for its operations. The Group has determined, based on the evaluation of the lease agreement, that all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties it leases are not transferrable to the Group.

h. Contingencies The Group 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 Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. 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.

Estimates a. Going concern The Group’s management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as going concern. Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

b. Fair value of financial instruments The fair values of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques. Where valuation techniques (e.g., financial models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the area that created them. All financial models are certified before they are used and are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, the financial models use only observable data, however, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial instruments (see Note 5).

96 c. Credit losses on loans and receivables The Group reviews its loans and receivables at each reporting date to assess whether an allowance for credit losses should be recorded in the balance sheet and any changes thereto in the 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. Actual results may also 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 assessment on exposures which, although not specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when originally granted. The resulting collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the internal rating of the loan or investment since it was granted or acquired. These internal ratings take into consideration factors such as any deterioration in country risk, industry, and technological obsolescence, as well as identified structural weaknesses or deterioration in cash flows.

The carrying values of loans and receivables and the related allowance for credit losses of the Group and the Parent Company are disclosed in Notes 9 and 15. d. Impairment of AFS equity investments The Group treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair values below their costs or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgment. The Group treats ‘significant’ generally as 20.00% or more of the original cost of investment, and ‘prolonged’ as greater than 12 months. In addition, the Group evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and future cash flows and discount factors for unquoted equities.

The carrying values of AFS equity investments and the related allowance for impairment of the Group and the Parent Company are disclosed in Notes 8 and 15. e. Impairment of HTM and AFS debt investments The Group determines that AFS debt investments are impaired based on the same criteria as loans and receivables.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, HTM and AFS debt investments were unimpaired. The carrying values of HTM and AFS debt investments are disclosed in Note 8. f. Estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties The Group estimates the useful lives of its bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties. These estimates are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties.

A reduction in the estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease noncurrent assets. The estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties are disclosed in Note 2. g. Impairment on investments in subsidiaries and associates and other nonfinancial assets The Parent Company assesses impairment on its investments in subsidiaries and associate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Among others, the factors that the Parent Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review on its investments in subsidiaries and associate include the following:

• deteriorating or poor financial condition; • recurring net losses; and • significant changes on the technological, market, economic, or legal environment which had an adverse effect on the subsidiary or associate during the period or in the near future, in which the subsidiary operates.

The Group also assesses impairment on its nonfinancial assets (e.g., investment properties and bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment) and considers the following impairment indicators:

• 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.

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Except for investment properties where recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost to sell, the recoverable amount of all other nonfinancial assets is determined based on the asset’s value in use computation which considers the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the asset. The Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the carrying amount of the asset being assessed. The carrying values of the Group’s investments in subsidiaries and associate and other nonfinancial assets are disclosed in Notes 10, 11 and 12, respectively.

Annual Report 2013 97 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

h. Impairment of goodwill and branch licenses The Group conducts an annual review for any impairment in the value of goodwill and branch licenses. Goodwill and branch licenses are written down for impairment where the net present value of the forecasted future cash flows from the business is insufficient to support their carrying value. The Group estimates the discount rate used for the computation of the net present value by reference to industry cost of capital. Future cash flows from the business are estimated based on the theoretical annual income of the CGUs. Average growth rate is derived from the average increase in annual income of the CGUs during the last 5 years. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 12.05% and 11.89% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Key assumptions in value-in-use calculation of CGUs are most sensitive to discount rates and growth rates used to project cash flows.

The carrying values of the Group’s goodwill and branch licenses are disclosed in Notes 10 and 13.

i. Net plan assets and retirement expense The determination of the Group’s net plan assets and annual retirement expense is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include, among others, discount rates, and salary increase.

The assumed discount rates were determined using the market yields on Philippine government bonds with terms consistent with the expected employee benefit payout as of the balance sheets date. Refer to Note 23 for the details on the assumptions used in the calculation.

The present value of the retirement obligation and fair value of plan assets are disclosed in Note 23.

j. Recognition of deferred income taxes Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Management discretion is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based on the forecasted level of future taxable profits and the related future tax planning strategies.

The Group believes it will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize its recorded deferred tax assets. Taxable income is sourced mainly from interest income from lending activities and earnings from service charge, fees, commissions and trust activities.

The recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets are disclosed in Note 26.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Group has assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non- recurring basis after initial recognition. Recurring fair value measurements are those that another PFRS requires or permits to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at the end of each financial reporting period. These include financial assets and liabilities at FVPL and AFS financial assets. Non-recurring fair value measurements are those that another PFRS requires or permits to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in particular circumstances. For example, PFRS 5 requires an entity to measure an asset held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Since the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is only recognized in the balance sheet when it is lower than its carrying amount, that fair value measurement is non-recurring.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, except for the following financial instruments, the carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets and related notes approximate their respective fair values:

Consolidated 2013 2012 (As restated - Note 10) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Financial Assets HTM financial assets: Government bonds P11,800,868,261 P13,777,054,471 P12,372,496,675 P15,063,146,651 Private bonds 349,678,568 403,498,491 320,736,738 392,250,692 Loans and receivables: Corporate and commercial loans 180,258,652,458 181,699,876,526 157,348,768,095 162,082,056,112 Consumer loans 29,139,864,050 31,178,193,986 21,887,420,910 23,325,194,973 Trade-related loans 11,042,645,985 11,447,877,620 10,762,158,498 11,396,294,324 Others 99,740,422 103,584,257 101,958,822 103,218,919 Sales contracts receivable 474,299,468 488,640,974 481,866,255 508,129,730 Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities 354,268,202,680 349,841,938,319 271,977,239,870 265,067,286,621 Bills payable 8,299,194,525 8,086,926,720 3,526,807,973 3,795,770,851

Annual Report 2013 99 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The methods and assumptions used by the Group and Parent Company in estimating the fair values of the financial instruments follow:

Cash and other cash items, due from BSP and other banks, SPURA and accrued interest receivable - The carrying amounts approximate their fair values in view of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.

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 and sales contract receivable (SCR) included in other assets - Fair values of loans and receivables and SCR are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans and receivables.

Accounts receivable, returned checks and other cash items (RCOCI) and other financial assets included in other assets - Quoted market prices are not readily available for these assets. These are reported at cost and are not significant in relation to the Group’s total portfolio of securities.

Derivative instruments (included under FVPL) - Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices provided by independent parties or accepted valuation models (either based on discounted cash flow techniques or option pricing models, as applicable).

Derivative assets and liabilities - Fair values are calculated by reference to the prevailing interest differential and spot exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, taking into account the remaining term to maturity of the derivative assets and liabilities.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives (included under Derivative assets) - Fair values are estimated based on a valuation model from Bloomberg using inputs provided by counterparty banks.

Deposit liabilities (time, demand and savings deposits) - Fair values of time deposits are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings and 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.

Bills payable - Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings and with maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued.

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.

Fair Value Hierarchy The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data or unobservable inputs.

100 As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value hierarchy of the Group’s and Parent Company’s assets and liabilities are presented below:

102 The inputs used in the fair value measurement based on Level 2 are as follows:

Government securities - interpolated rates based on market rates of benchmark securities as of reporting date.

Derivative assets and liabilities - fair values are calculated by reference to the prevailing interest differential and spot exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, taking into account the remaining term to maturity of the derivative assets and liabilities.

Inputs used in estimating fair values of financial instruments carried at cost and categorized under level 3 include risk-free rates and applicable risk premium.

The fair values of the Group’s and Parent Company’s investment properties have been determined by the appraisal method by independent external and in-house appraisers based on highest and best use of property being appraised. Valuations were derived on the basis of recent sales of similar properties in the same areas as the investment properties and taking into account the economic conditions prevailing at the time the valuations were made and comparability of similar properties sold with the property being valued.

The table below summarizes the valuation techniques used and the significant unobservable inputs valuation for each type of investment properties held by the Group and the Parent Company:

Valuation Techniques Significant Unobservable Inputs Land Market Data Approach Price per square meter, size, location, shape, time element and corner influence Land and Building Market Data Approach and Cost Approach Reproduction Cost New

Description of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Group and the Parent Company’s investment properties are as follows:

Valuation Techniques Market Data Approach A process of comparing the subject property being appraised to similar comparable properties recently sold or being offered for sale. It is an estimate of the investment required to duplicate the property in its present condition. It is Cost Approach reached by estimating the value of the building “as if new” and then deducting the depreciated cost. Fundamental to the Cost Approach is the estimate of Reproduction Cost New of the improvements.

Significant Unobservable Inputs Reproduction Cost New The cost to create a virtual replica of the existing structure, employing the same design and similar building materials.

Size Size of lot in terms of area. Evaluate if the lot size of property or comparable conforms to the average cut of the lots in the area and estimate the impact of lot size differences on land value.

Shape Particular form or configuration of the lot. A highly irregular shape limits the usable area whereas an ideal lot configuration maximizes the usable area of the lot which is associated in designing an improvement which conforms with the highest and best use of the property.

Location Location of comparative properties whether on a Main Road, or secondary road. Road width could also be a consideration if data is available. As a rule, properties located along a Main Road are superior to properties located along a secondary road.

Time Element “An adjustment for market conditions is made if general property values have appreciated or depreciated since the transaction dates due to inflation or deflation or a change in investors’ perceptions of the market over time”. In which case, the current data is superior to historic data.

Discount Generally, asking prices in ads posted for sale are negotiable. Discount is the amount the seller or developer is willing to deduct from the posted selling price if the transaction will be in cash or equivalent.

Corner influence Bounded by two (2) roads.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s activities are principally related to the profitable use of financial instruments. Risks are inherent in these activities but are managed by the Group through a rigorous, comprehensive and continuous process of identification, measurement, monitoring and mitigation of these risks, partly through the effective use of risk and authority limits and thresholds, process controls and monitoring, and independent controls. As reflected in its corporate actions and organizational improvements, the Group has placed due importance on expanding and strengthening its risk management process and considers it as a vital component to the Group’s continuing profitability and financial stability. Central to the Group’s risk management process is its adoption of a risk management program intended to avoid unnecessary risks, manage and mitigate unavoidable risks and maximize returns from taking acceptable risks necessary to sustain its business viability and good financial position in the market.

The key financial risks that the Group faces are: credit risk, market risk (i.e. interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and equity price risk) and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management objective is primarily focused on controlling and mitigating these risks. The Parent Company and its subsidiaries manage their respective financial risks separately. The subsidiaries, particularly CBSI, have their own risk management processes but are structured similar to that of the Parent Company. To a certain extent, the respective risk management programs and objectives are the same across the Group. The gravity of the risks, the magnitude of the financial instruments involved, and regulatory requirements are primary considerations to the scope and extent of the risk management processes put in place for the subsidiaries.

Risk Management Structure The BOD of the Parent Company is ultimately responsible for the oversight of the Parent Company’s risk management process. On the other hand, the risk management processes of the subsidiaries are the separate responsibilities of their respective BODs. The BOD of the Parent Company created a separate board-level independent committee with explicit authority and responsibility for managing and monitoring risks.

The BOD has delegated to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) the implementation of the risk management process which includes, among others, the development of various risk strategies and principles, control guidelines policies and procedures, implementation of risk measurement tools, monitoring of key risk indicators, and the imposition and monitoring of risk limits and thresholds. The RMC is composed of four members of the BOD.

The Risk Management Group (RMG) is the direct support of the RMC in the day-to-day risk management and the implementation of the risk management strategies approved by the RMC. The implementation cuts across all departments of the Parent Company and involves all of the Parent Company’s financial instruments, whether “on-books” or “off-books.” The RMG is likewise responsible for monitoring the implementation of specific risk control procedures and enforcing compliance thereto. The RMG is also directly involved in the day-to-day risk measurement and monitoring to make sure that the Parent Company, in its transactions and dealings, engages only in acceptable and manageable financial risks. The RMG also ensures that risk measurements are accurately and completely captured on a timely basis in the management reporting system of the Parent Company. The RMG regularly reports the results of the risk measurements to the RMC. The RMG is headed by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

Apart from RMG, each business unit has created and put in place various process controls which ensure that all the external and internal transactions and dealings of the unit are in compliance with the unit’s risk management objectives.

The Internal Audit Division also plays a crucial role in risk management primarily because it is independent of the business units and reports exclusively to the Audit Committee which, in turn, is comprised of independent directors. The Internal Audit Division focuses on ensuring that adequate controls are in place and on monitoring compliance to controls. The regular audit covers all processes and controls, including those under the risk management framework handled by the RMG. The audit of these processes and controls is undertaken at least annually. The audit results and exceptions, including recommendations for their resolution or improvement, are discussed initially with the business units concerned before these are presented to the Audit Committee.

Risk Management Reporting The CRO and other members of the RMG report to the RMC and are a resource to the Management Committee (ManCom) on a monthly and a weekly basis, respectively. The CRO reports on key risk indicators and specific risk management issues that would need resolution from top management. This is undertaken after the risk issues and key risk indicators have been discussed with the business units concerned.

The key risk indicators were formulated on the basis of the financial risks faced by the Parent Company. The key risk indicators contain information from all business units that provide measurements on the level of the risks taken by the Parent Company in its products, transactions and financial structure. Among others, the report on key risk indicators includes information on the Parent Company’s aggregate credit exposure, credit metric forecasts, hold limit exceptions, Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis, utilization of market and credit limits, liquidity ratios, overall loan loss provisioning and risk profile changes. Loan loss provisioning and credit limit utilization are, however, discussed in more detail in the Credit Committee. On a monthly basis, detailed reporting of single- name and sectoral concentration is included in the discussion with the RMC. On the other hand, the Chief Internal Auditor reports to the Audit Committee on a monthly basis on the results of branch or business unit audits and for the resolution of pending but important internal audit issues.

The Parent Company has acquired a new risk management system which, for market and liquidity risk, will greatly improve its risk measurement and reporting, particularly those related to treasury products. In 2013, the Parent Company implemented the Asset and Liability Management system for liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

104 Risk Mitigation The Parent Company uses derivatives to manage exposures in its financial instruments resulting from changes in interest rates and foreign currencies exposures. However, the nature and extent of use of these financial instruments to mitigate risks are limited to those allowed by the BSP for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

To further mitigate risks throughout its different business units, the Parent Company created new risk management policies and improved existing policies. These policies further serve as the framework and set of guidelines in the creation or revisions of operating policies and manuals for each business unit. In the process design and implementation, preventive controls are preferred over detection controls. Clear delineation of responsibilities and separation of incompatible duties among officers and staff, as well as, among business units are reiterated in these policies. To the extent possible, reporting and accounting responsibilities are segregated from units directly involved in operations and front line activities (i.e., players must not be scorers). This is to improve the credibility and accuracy of management information. Any inconsistencies in the operating policies and manuals with the risk framework created by the RMG are taken up and resolved in the RMC and ManCom.

Based on the approved Operational Risk Assessment Program, RMG spearheaded the bankwide (all Head Office units and branches) risk identification and self-assessment process. This would enable determination of priority risk areas, assessment of mitigating controls in place, and institutionalization of additional measures to ensure a controlled operating environment. RMG was also mandated to maintain and update the Parent Company’s Centralized Loss Database wherein all reported incidents of losses shall be encoded to enable assessment of weaknesses in the processes and come up with viable improvements to avoid recurrence.

Monitoring and controlling risks are primarily performed based on various limits and thresholds established by the top management covering the Group’s transactions and dealings. These limits and thresholds reflect the Group’s business strategies and market environment, as well as, the levels of risks that the Group is willing to tolerate, with additional emphasis on selected industries. In addition, the Parent Company monitors and measures the overall risk-bearing capacity in relation to the aggregate risk exposure across all risk types and activities.

The Group’s Management identified the need for an asset-liability management (ALM) application to strategically manage risks arising from mismatches between the Parent Company’s assets and liabilities, particularly in the areas of interest rate risk and liquidity risk. An ALM would support high-level decisions with regard to funds pricing and resource allocation.

The ALM system project began in 2011. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) of the Static (phase 1) and Liquidity (phase 2) modules were completed in 2013. After conducting parallel-runs of the manual risk reports and Static ALM reports, the system was implemented in September 2013 for automated generation of Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO) and Earnings-at-Risk (EAR) reports. The automation of liquidity stress reports to maximize the use of the Liquidity module in ALM is targeted for 2014. The Dynamic (phase 3) and Funds Transfer Pricing modules (phase 4) of Treasury and Corporate Planning are handled by the respective groups.

The Group’s Management identified the need to accurately measure market risk exposures of its derivative instruments and standard products with non-normal returns by the implementation of Historical Simulation VaR approach for all trading products. In 2013, pending implementation of the Kondor Global Risk (KGR) Market Risk Module, the Parent Company has begun using Historical Simulation VaR delta approximation approach for its financial derivatives (IRS) and foreign exchange instruments (FX Swaps/ Forwards). Standard financial instruments (Fixed Income Securities) remain under Parametric VaR. Compared to the Parametric VaR approach where portfolio returns are assumed to be normally distributed and changes in returns assumed to be linear in relation to market factors, the Historical Simulation VaR approach uses the actual daily fluctuation of portfolio returns, and thus captures actual distribution of returns. Thus, historical simulation is the preferred methodology for trading derivatives which may not be linear.

The Parent Company is still testing and implementing a new market risk system module to support its trading and derivative activities. The module had been independently validated by a qualified third-party reviewer in 2013.

BSP issued Circular No. 639 dated January 15, 2009 which mandated the use of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) by all universal and commercials banks to determine their minimum required capital relative to their business risk exposures. In this regard, the Board approved the engagement of the services of a consultant to assist in the bank-wide implementation and embedding of the ICAAP, as provided for under Pillar 2 of Basel II and BSP Circular No. 639.

On January 9, 2013, the BOD affirmed that the priority risks set in the 2009 Risk Self-assessment Survey and voting conducted among selected members of the BOD and Senior Management remain the same.

The Parent Company had submitted its ICAAP document, in compliance with BSP requirements on January 30, 2013. The document disclosed that the Parent Company has an appropriate level of internal capital relative to the Group’s risk profile.

For the ICAAP document submitted on January 30, 2014, the Parent Company retained the Pillar 1 Plus approach using the Pillar 1 capital as the baseline. The process of allocating capital for all types of risks above the Pillar 1 capital levels is now primarily based on the results of the Integrated Stress Test (IST). The adoption of the IST allows the Parent Company to quantify its overall vulnerability to market shocks and operational losses in a collective manner driven by events rather than in silo. The capital assessment in the document discloses that the Group and the Parent Company has appropriate and sufficient level of internal capital.

Annual Report 2013 105 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Credit Risk Credit Risk and Concentration of Assets and Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Items Credit risk is the risk of financial loss on account of a counterparty to a financial product failing to honor its obligation. The Group faces potential credit risks every time it extends funds to borrowers, commits funds to counterparties, guarantees the paying performance of its clients, invests funds to issuers (i.e., investment securities issued by either sovereign or corporate entities) or enters into either market-traded or over-the-counter derivatives, through implied or actual contractual agreements (i.e., on or off- balance sheet exposures). The Group manages its credit risk at various levels (i.e., strategic level, portfolio level down to individual credit or transaction).

The Group established risk limits and thresholds for purposes of monitoring and managing credit risk from individual counterparties and/or groups of counterparties, as well as industry divisions. It also conducts periodical assessment of the creditworthiness of its counterparties. In addition, the Group obtains collateral where appropriate, enters into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties, and limits the duration of exposures.

In compliance with BSP requirements, the Group established an internal Credit Risk Rating System (CRRS) for the purpose of measuring credit risk for corporate borrowers in a consistent manner, as accurately as possible, and thereafter uses the risk information for business and financial decision making. The CRRS covers corporate borrowers with total assets, total facilities, or total credit exposures amounting to 15.00 million and above.

Further, the CRRS was designed within the technical requirements defined under BSP Circular No. 439. It has two components, namely: a) Borrower Risk Rating (BRR) which provides an assessment of the creditworthiness of the borrower, without considering the proposed facility and security arrangements, and b) Loan Exposure Rating (LER) which provides an assessment of the proposed facilities as mitigated or enhanced by security arrangements. The CRRS rating scale consists of ten grades, six of which fall under unclassified accounts, with the remaining four falling under classified accounts in accordance with regulatory provisioning guidelines.

In 2011, the Parent Company launched the Borrower Credit Score (BCS), a credit scoring system designed for retail small and medium entities and individual loan accounts. The BCS is currently implemented on a test run basis.

Excessive Risk Concentration Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Parent Company’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location.

In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Parent Company’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines focusing on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.

The distribution of the Group’s and Parent Company’s assets, liabilities, and credit commitment items (see Note 30) by geographic region as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions) follows:

Maximum exposure to credit risk The table below provides the analysis of the maximum exposure to credit risk of the Parent Company’s financial instruments (the maximum exposure to credit risk of subsidiaries were no longer disclosed as they are not material to the Group), excluding those where the carrying values as reflected in the balance sheets and related notes already represent the financial instrument’s maximum exposure to credit risk, before and after taking into account collateral held or other credit enhancements:

Credit risk, in respect of derivative financial products, is limited to those with positive fair values, which are included under Financial Assets at FVPL (see Note 8). As a result, the maximum credit risk, without taking into account the fair value of any collateral and netting agreements, is limited to the amounts on the balance sheet plus commitments to customers such as unused commercial letters of credit, outstanding guarantees and others as disclosed in Note 29 to the financial statements.

Collateral and other credit enhancements The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines are implemented with regard to the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation parameters.

The main types of collateral obtained are as follows: • For securities lending and reverse repurchase transactions - cash or securities • For consumer lending - real estate and chattel over vehicle • For corporate lending and commercial lending- real estate, chattel over properties, assignment of deposits, shares of stocks, bonds, and guarantees

Management requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement and takes into consideration the market value of collateral during its review of the adequacy of allowance for credit losses.

It is the Group’s policy to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly fashion. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. In most cases, the Parent Company does not occupy repossessed properties for business use.

Collaterals foreclosed in 2013 and 2012 and are still held by the Group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to P362.38 million and P119.14 million, respectively. These collaterals comprised of real estate properties and stock securities.

Annual Report 2013 107 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Credit quality per class of financial assets The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Group using an internal credit rating system for the purpose of measuring credit risk in a consistent manner as accurately as possible. The model on risk ratings is assessed and updated regularly because the Group uses this information as a tool for business and financial decision making.

It is the Parent Company’s policy to maintain accurate and consistent risk ratings across the credit portfolio. This facilitates focused management of the applicable risks and the comparison of credit exposures across all lines of business, geographic regions and products. The rating system is supported by a variety of financial analytics, combined with processed market information to provide the main inputs for the measurement of counterparty risk. All internal risk ratings are tailored to the various categories and are derived in accordance with the Parent Company’s rating policy. The attributable risk ratings are assessed and monitored regularly. The standard credit rating equivalent grades are relevant only for certain exposures in each risk rating class.

The following table shows the description of the internal CRRS grade:

CRRS Grade Description 1 Excellent 2 Strong 3 Good 4 Satisfactory 5 Acceptable 6 Watchlist 7 Especially Mentioned 8 Substandard 9 Doubtful 10 Loss

The credit grades are defined as follows:

Excellent - This category applies to a borrower with a very low probability of going into default in the coming year. The borrower has a high degree of stability, substance, and diversity. It has access to raise substantial amounts of funds through the public markets at any time. The borrower has a very strong debt service capacity and a conservative use of balance sheet leverage. The track record in profit terms is very good. The borrower is of highest quality under virtually all economic conditions.

Strong - This category applies to a borrower with a low probability of going into default in the coming year. The borrower normally has a comfortable degree of stability, substance, and diversity. Under normal market conditions, the borrower in this category has good access to public markets to raise funds. The borrower has a strong market and financial position with a history of successful performance. The overall debt service capacity as measured by cash flow to total debt service is deemed very strong; the critical balance sheet ratios (vis-à-vis industry) are conservative.

Good - This category covers the smaller corporations with limited access to public capital markets or access to alternative financial markets. This access is however limited to favorable economic and/or market conditions. Typical for this type of borrower is the combination of comfortable asset protection and acceptable balance sheet structure (vis-à-vis industry). The debt service capacity, as measured based on cash flows, is strong.

Satisfactory - This category represents the borrower where clear risk elements exist and the probability of default is somewhat greater. This probability is reflected in volatility of earnings and overall performance. The borrower in this category normally has limited access to public financial markets. The borrower should be able to withstand normal business cycles, but any prolonged unfavorable economic period would create deterioration beyond acceptable levels. Typical for this kind of borrower is the combination of reasonably sound asset and cash flow protection. The debt service capacity as measured by cash flow is deemed adequate. The borrower has reported profits for the past fiscal year and is expected to report a profit in the current year.

Acceptable - The risk elements for the Parent Company are sufficiently pronounced, although the borrower should still be able to withstand normal business cycles. Any prolonged unfavorable economic and/or market period would create an immediate deterioration beyond acceptable levels.

Watchlist - This category represents the borrower for which unfavorable industry or company-specific risk factors represent a concern. Operating performance and financial strength may be marginal and it is uncertain whether the borrower can attract alternative sources of financing. The borrower will find it very hard to cope with any significant economic downturn and a default in such a case is more than a possibility. It includes the borrower where the credit exposure is not a risk of loss at the moment, but the performance of the borrower has weakened, and unless present trends are reversed, could lead to losses.

108 Especially Mentioned - This category applies to the borrower that is characterized by a reasonable probability of default, manifested by some or all the following: (a) evidence of weakness in the borrower’s financial condition or creditworthiness; (b) unacceptable risk is generated by potential or emerging weaknesses as far as asset protection and/or cash flow is concerned; (c) the borrower has reached a point where there is a real risk that the borrower’s ability to pay the interest and repay the principal timely could be jeopardized; (d) the borrower is expected to have financial difficulties and exposure may be at risk. Closer account management attention is warranted.

Concerted efforts should be made to improve lender’s position (e.g., demanding additional collateral or reduction of account exposure). These potential weaknesses, if left uncorrected or unmitigated, would affect the repayment of the loan and, thus, increase credit risk to the Parent Company.

Substandard - This category represents the borrower where one or more of the following factors apply: (a) the collection of principal or interest becomes questionable regardless of scheduled payment date, by reason of adverse developments on account of a financial, managerial, economic, or political nature, or by important weaknesses in cover; (b) the probability of default is assessed at up to 50.00%. Substandard loans are loans or portions thereof which appear to involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the Parent Company because of unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics. There exists in such loans the possibility of future loss to the Parent Company unless given closer supervision.

Doubtful - This category includes the borrower with “non-performing loan” status or with any portion of interest and/or principal payment is in arrears for more than ninety (90) days. The borrower is unable or unwilling to service debt over an extended period of time and near future prospects of orderly debt service is doubtful. Doubtful loans are loans or portions thereof which have the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “Substandard”, with the added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and in which substantial loss is probable.

Loss - This category represents the borrower whose prospect for re-establishment of creditworthiness and debt service is remote. It also applies where the Parent Company will take or has taken title to the assets of the borrower and is preparing a foreclosure and/or liquidation of the borrower’s business. These loans or portions thereof which are considered uncollectible or worthless and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value.

Depository accounts with the BSP and counterparty banks, Trading and Investment Securities For these financial assets, outstanding exposure is rated primarily based on external risk rating (i.e. Standard and Poor’s (S&P)), otherwise, rating is based on risk grades by a local rating agency or included under “Unrated”, when the counterparty has no available risk grade.

The external risk rating of the Group’s depository accounts with the BSP and counterparty banks, trading and investment securities, is grouped as follows:

Credit Quality Rating External Credit Risk Rating Credit Rating Agency High grade AAA, AA+, AA, AA- S&P Aaa, Aa1, Aa2, Aa3 Moody’s AAA, AA+, AA, AA- Fitch

Standard grade A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBB- S&P A1, A2, A3, Baa1, Baa2, Baa3 Moody’s A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBB- Fitch

Substandard grade BB+, BB, BB-, B/B+, CCC, R, SD & D S&P Ba1, Ba2, Ba3, B1, B2, R, SD & D Moody’s BB+, BB, BB-, B/B+, CCC, R, SD & D Fitch Following is the credit rating scale applicable for foreign banks, and government securities (aligned with S&P ratings):

AAA - An obligor has extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments.

AA - An obligor has very strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. It differs from the highest-rated obligors at a minimal degree.

A - An obligor has strong capacity to meet its financial commitments but is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligors in higher-rated categories.

BBB and below:

BBB - An obligor has adequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments.

BB - An obligor is less vulnerable in the near term than other lower-rated obligors. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

B - An obligor is more vulnerable than the obligors rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments.

CCC - An obligor is currently vulnerable and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments.

110 CC - An obligor is currently vulnerable. The rating is used when a default has not yet occurred, but expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

R - An obligor is under regulatory supervision owing to its financial condition. During the pendency of the regulatory supervision, the regulators may have the power to favor one class of obligations over others or pay some obligations and not others.

SD and D - An obligor is in default on one or more of its financial obligations including rated and unrated financial obligations but excluding hybrid instruments classified as regulatory capital or in non-payment according to terms.

PRSAa - The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

PRSA - With favorable investment attributes and are considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Although obligations rated ‘PRSA’ are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in economic conditions, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

PRSBaa - An obligation rated ‘PRS Baa’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions and changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. PRSBaa-rated issues may possess certain speculative characteristics.

PRSBa - An obligation rated ‘PRSBa’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties relating to business, financial or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

PRSB - An obligation rated ‘PRSB’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘PRSBa’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The issue is characterized by high credit risk.

PRSCaa - An obligation rated ‘PRSCaa’ is presently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The issue is considered to be of poor standing and is subject to very high credit risk.

PRSCa - An obligation rated “PRSCa” is presently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. Likely already in or very near default with some prospect for partial recovery of principal or interest.

PRSC - An obligation is already in default with very little prospect for any recovery of principal or interest.

Impairment assessment The main considerations for the loan impairment assessment include whether any payment of principal or interest is overdue by more than 90 days, or there are known difficulties in the cash flows of counterparties, credit rating downgrades, or infringement of the original terms of the contract. The Group addresses impairment assessment in two areas: individually assessed allowances and collectively assessed allowances.

Individually assessed allowances The Group determines the allowances appropriate for each individually significant loan or advance on an individual basis. Items considered when determining allowance amounts include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected receipts and the expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, the availability of other financial support and the realizable value of collateral, and the timing of the expected cash flows. The impairment losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more careful attention.

Collectively assessed allowances Allowances are assessed collectively for losses on loans and advances that are not individually significant (including residential mortgages and unsecured consumer lending) and for individually significant loans and advances where there is no objective evidence of individual impairment yet. Allowances are evaluated on each reporting date with each portfolio receiving a separate review.

The collective assessment takes account of impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio even though there is no objective evidence of the impairment yet per an individual assessment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following information: historical losses on the portfolio, current economic conditions, the approximate delay between the time a loss is likely to have been incurred and the time it will be identified as requiring an individually assessed impairment allowance, and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired.

Management is responsible for deciding the length of this period which can extend for as long as one year. The impairment allowance is then reviewed by credit management to ensure alignment with the Group’s overall policy.

Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may result from changes in the value of a financial product. The Parent Company’s market risk originates from its holdings of domestic and foreign-denominated debt securities, foreign exchange instruments, equities, foreign exchange derivatives and interest rate derivatives.

The RMG of the Parent Company is responsible for assisting the RMC with its responsibility for identifying, measuring, managing and controlling market risk. Market risk management measures the Parent Company market risk exposures through the use of VaR. VaR is a statistical measure that estimates the maximum potential loss from a portfolio over a holding period, within a given confidence level.

VaR assumptions The Parent Company calculates the Bankwide VaR in certain trading activities. The Parent Company uses the Parametric Variance- Covariance and Duration-Based approach to VaR for domestic- and foreign- denominated debt securities and Delta Approximation Historical Simulation approach to VaR for foreign exchange instruments, equities, foreign exchange derivatives and interest rate derivatives, using a 99.00% confidence level and a 1-day holding period.

The use of a 99.00% confidence level means that, within a one day horizon, losses exceeding the VaR figure should occur, on average, not more than once every hundred days. The validity of the VaR model is verified through back testing, which examines how frequently actual and hypothetical daily losses exceeds daily VaR. The Parent Company measures and monitors the VaR and profit and loss on a daily basis.

114 Since VaR is an integral part of the Parent Company’s market risk management, VaR limits have been established for all trading positions and exposures are reviewed daily against the limits by management. Further, stress testing is performed in monitoring extreme events.

Limitations of the VaR Methodology The VaR models are designed to measure market risk in a normal market environment using equally weighted historical data. The use of VaR has limitations because it is based on historical correlations and volatilities in market prices and assumes that future price movements will follow the same distribution. Due to the fact that VaR relies heavily on historical data to provide information and may not clearly predict the future changes and modifications of the risk factors, the probability of large market moves may be underestimated if changes in risk factors fail to align with the assumptions. VaR may also be under- or over-estimated due to the assumptions placed on risk factors and the relationship between such factors for specific instruments. Even though positions may change throughout the day, the VaR only represents the risk of the portfolios at the close of each business day, and it does not account for any losses that may occur beyond the 99% confidence level.

In practice, the actual trading results will differ from the VaR calculation and, in particular, the calculation does not provide a meaningful indication of profits and losses in stressed market conditions. To determine the reliability of the VaR models, actual outcomes are monitored regularly to test the validity of the assumptions and the parameters used in the VaR calculation. Market risk positions are also subject to regular stress tests to ensure that the Group would withstand an extreme market event.

A summary of the VaR position of the trading portfolio of the Parent Company is as follows:

Interest Rate Risk The Group’s interest rate risk originates from its holdings of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities. The Parent Company follows prudent policies in managing its exposures to interest rate fluctuations, and constantly monitors its assets and liabilities.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 72.82% and 77.12% of the Group’s total loan portfolio, respectively, comprised of floating rate loans which are repriced periodically by reference to the transfer pool rate which reflects the Group’s internal cost of funds. In keeping with banking industry practice, the Group aims to achieve stability and lengthen the term structure of its deposit base, while providing adequate liquidity to cover transactional banking requirements of customers.

Interest is paid on demand accounts, which constituted 22.26% and 22.77% of total deposits of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest is paid on savings accounts and time deposits accounts, which constitute 58.11% and 57.15%, respectively, of total deposits of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2013, and 19.63% and 20.08%, respectively, as of December 31, 2012.

Savings account interest rates are set by reference to prevailing market rates, while interest rates on time deposits and special savings accounts are usually priced by reference to prevailing rates of short-term government bonds and other money market instruments, or, in the case of foreign currency deposits, inter-bank deposit rates and other benchmark deposit rates in international money markets with similar maturities.

The Group is likewise exposed to fair value interest rate risk due to its holdings of fixed rate government bonds as part of its AFS and FVPL portfolios. Market values of these investments are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.

The asset-liability gap analysis method is used by the Group to measure the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations. This analysis measures the Group’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates. The repricing gap is calculated by first distributing the assets and liabilities contained in the Group’s balance sheet into tenor buckets according to the time remaining to the next repricing date (or the time remaining to maturity if there is no repricing), and then obtaining the difference between the total of the repricing (interest rate sensitive) assets and the total of repricing (interest rate sensitive) liabilities.

116 A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.

Accordingly, during a period of rising interest rates, a bank with a positive gap would be in a position to invest in higher yielding assets earlier than it would need to refinance its interest rate sensitive liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, a bank with a positive gap would tend to see its interest rate sensitive assets repricing earlier than its interest rate sensitive liabilities, restraining the growth of its net income or resulting in a decline in net interest income.

The following table sets forth the repricing gap position of the Group and Parent Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

Foreign exchange liabilities generally consist of foreign currency-denominated deposits in the Group’s FCDU account made in the Philippines or generated from remittances to the Philippines by persons overseas who retain for their own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, foreign currency deposit accounts with the Group.

Foreign currency liabilities are generally used to fund the Group’s foreign exchange assets which generally consist of foreign currency- denominated loans and investments in the FCDU. Banks are required by the BSP to match the foreign currency-denominated assets with liabilities held in the FCDU that are denominated in the same foreign currency. In addition, the BSP requires a 30% liquidity reserve on all foreign currency-denominated liabilities held in the FCDU.

The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within existing regulations, and within acceptable risk limits. The Group believes in ensuring its foreign currency is at all times within limits prescribed for financial institutions who are engaged in the same types of businesses in which the Group and its subsidiaries are engaged.

The table below summarizes the Group’s and Parent Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Equity Price Risk Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities change as a result of movements in both the level of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The non-trading equity price risk exposure arises from the Group’s investment portfolio.

The effect on the Group and Parent Company’s equity as a result of a change in the fair value of equity instruments held as available- for-sale due to a reasonably possible change in equity indices, with all other variables held constant, is as follows (in millions):

Consolidated Change in Effect on equity index Equity 2013 +10% P11.1 -10% (6.9) 2012 +10% 9.0 -10% (9.0) Parent Company Change in Effect on equity index Equity 2013 +10% P11.1 -10% (6.9) 2012 +10% 9.0 -10% (9.0) Liquidity Risk and Funding Management Liquidity risk is generally defined as the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from the Parent Company’s inability to meet its obligations when they become due without incurring unacceptable losses or costs.

The Parent Company’s liquidity management involves maintaining funding capacity to accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in the Parent Company’s business operations or unanticipated events created by customer behavior or capital market conditions. The Parent Company 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, the securing of money market lines, and the maintenance of repurchase facilities to address any unexpected liquidity situations.

Liquidity risk is monitored and controlled primarily by a gap analysis of maturities of relevant assets and liabilities reflected in the maximum cumulative outflow (MCO) report, as well as, an analysis of available liquid assets. Furthermore, internal liquidity ratios and monitoring of large funds providers have been set to determine sufficiency of liquid assets over deposit liabilities.

The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the issuer, at a price equivalent to the issue price of 75.00 per share plus cumulative and unpaid dividend, starting on the third anniversary from the listing date (September 28, 2012) or any dividend payment date thereafter.

The preferred shares also contain dividend rate step-up which is the higher of the dividend rate of 7.50% or the 10-year PDST-F plus 300 bps. The dividend rate step-up will apply if the issuer does not redeem the preferred shares on the fifth year of issuance.

The preferred shares have an embedded derivative in the form of an optional redemption feature, which is deemed not clearly and closely related to its equity host. In this regard, PAS 39 provides that if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, an entity may designate the entire hybrid contract at FVPL unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract, or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar hybrid instrument is first considered that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited. On this basis, management has determined that the preferred shares shall be designated as at FVPL.

Annual Report 2013 123 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, HFT securities include fair value loss of P39.92 million and of P56.91 million, respectively. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on HFT and financial assets designated at FVPL are included under ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ (see Note 20).

Credit-linked notes (CLN) As approved by the BOD on August 6, 2008, the Parent Company invested US$100,000,000, in five separate CLNs of US$20,000,000 each. The CLNs are linked to the performance of a specific Republic of the Philippines (ROP) bond, the underlying bond collateral, and London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). In the event of a credit event or a default event on the specific ROP bond or the bond collateral, the investment will unwind and the Parent Company will receive the deliverable obligation as defined under the contract. If no credit event or default event occurs, the Parent Company will receive the maturity value of the CLNs, which is the face amount. The CLNs bear floating interest based on 6-month USD LIBOR plus an agreed spread, payable semi-annually, and with tenor of five years. All CLNs matured in 2013.

The embedded credit derivatives on the above CLNs have been bifurcated (see Note 24) and the host contracts were classified under AFS financial assets.

Unquoted equity securities This account comprises of shares of stocks of private corporations that are carried at cost since fair value cannot be reliably estimated due to lack of reliable estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value. There is currently no market for these investments and the Group intends to hold them for the long term.

Net unrealized gains (losses) AFS financial assets include fair value loss of P79.26 million and P73.86 million for the Group and Parent Company, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, and fair value gains of P1.36 billion and P1.34 billion for the Group and Parent Company, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The fair value gains or losses are recognized under OCI. The deferred tax liabilities recognized on net unrealized gains amounted to P1.17 million and P1.84 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for both the Group and Parent Company. Impairment loss on AFS financial assets which was charged to operations amounted to 5.13 million in 2012. No impairment loss was recognized in 2013 and 2011.

124 As of October 2, 2008, the total carrying value of AFS financial assets reclassified to HTM financial assets amounted to P9.04 billion, with unrealized losses of P47.44 million deferred under ‘Net unrealized gains (losses) on AFS financial assets’ under OCI.

Effective interest rates on the reclassified securities range from 5.51% to 8.99%. The Parent Company expects to recover 100.00% of the principal and interest due on the reclassified investments totaling P3.72 billion and P3.69 billion, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No impairment loss was recognized on these securities in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Part of the identifiable assets the Parent Company recognized from the acquisition are the 24 branch licenses on restricted areas which the BSP provided as incentive under the SPRB Plus. The branch licenses are granted under the SPRB Plus to make up for the expected shortfall in the net assets of acquiree banks.

The net assets recognized in the 2012 financial statements were based on a provisional assessment of their fair value while post due diligence of the assets and liabilities of Unity Bank, including appraisal of all of its real properties by an external appraiser, is completed by the Parent Company.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, fair values of investment properties amounted to P6.56 billion and P7.16 billion, respectively, for the Group and P6.18 billion and P6.38 billion, respectively, for the Parent Company.

13. GOODWILL AND BRANCH LICENSES

Branch licenses and goodwill in the Parent Company’s balance sheet amounting to P455.00 million and P222.84 million, respectively, arose from the Parent Company’s acquisition of CBSI in 2007.

On June 21, 2007, the Parent Company and the majority shareholders of CBSI entered into a MOA whereby the former agreed to buy and the latter agreed to sell 87.52% of their equity interest in CBSI for P1.65 billion.

On September 3, 2007, the Parent Company’s officers were appointed as members of CBSI’s BOD. As of this date, the Parent Company effectively obtained control of CBSI. Subsequent thereto, a tender offer was made to all remaining shareholders of CBSI at the price of 214.65 per share. A total of 4.30% of CBSI’s common shares were subsequently acquired through a tender offer, which expired on January 15, 2008.

The acquisition resulted in recognition of goodwill determined as follows:

Total cost of acquisition: Cost to acquire 87.52% P1,650,283,292 Cost to acquire 4.30% 84,689,943 1,734,973,235 Less: Fair value of net assets acquired 1,512,132,034 Goodwill P222,841,201

The Parent Company attributed the goodwill to factors such as increase in geographical presence and customer base due to the branches acquired. On November 21, 2007, the BOD approved the transfer of certain assets and liabilities (including certain branches) of CBSI to the Parent Company. As the economic value of goodwill arising from the CBSI acquisition can be attributed to the branches transferred, such goodwill was transferred to the books of the Parent Company.

The branch licenses pertaining to the branches transferred were also transferred to the Parent Company. The transfers resulted in a reduction of the investment account of the Parent Company by P0.66 billion as of December 31, 2007.

Since goodwill is attributed to the branches transferred, the Parent Company’s Branch Banking Group (BBG) has been identified as the CGU for impairment testing of the goodwill. The BBG has also been identified as the CGU for impairment testing of the branch licenses.

The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period, which do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset base of the CGU being tested. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 12.05% in 2013 and 11.89% in 2012 and cash flows beyond the five year-period are extrapolated using a steady growth rate of 1.00% and 3.00% in 2013 and 2012, respectively, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industry.

Annual Report 2013 133 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The calculation of the value-in-use of the CGU is most sensitive to the following assumptions:

• Interest margin • Discount rates • Market share during the budget period • Steady growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period • Local inflation rates

With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the CGU, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the goodwill and branch licenses to materially exceed its recoverable amount as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

On October 17, 2011, the Parent Company together with seven other banks filed a joint petition against the BIR’s decision to impose 20% FWT on PEACe bonds. The high court issued a temporary restraining order in favor of these banks on the same day and ordered these banks to place in escrow an amount equivalent to the disputed withholding tax until final decision is rendered. However, the government withheld the 20% FWT from the proceeds of the PEACe bonds and held it in an escrow account with the Land Bank of the Philippines.

As discussed in more detail in Note 2, the Parent Company considers several factors in determining whether a financial asset is impaired, including the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original contractual effective rate. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Parent Company, in consultation with its legal counsel has determined that the said accounts receivable is collectible.

Accounts receivable also includes noninterest bearing advances to officers and employees, with terms ranging from 1 to 30 days and receivables of the Parent Company from ATM transactions of clients of other banks through any of the Parent Company’s ATM terminals.

Miscellaneous Assets Miscellaneous assets - others consist mainly of documentary stamps, unissued stationary and supplies, inter-office float items, security deposits and deposits for various services.

In the consolidated financial statements, miscellaneous assets - others include non-current assets held for sale which comprised of foreclosed vehicles amounting to P4.28 million and P9.40 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for which management assessed that sale of such asset to be highly probable.

140 The SEC approved the increase in the capital stock of the Parent Company. The summarized information on the Company’s registration of securities under the Securities Regulation Code follows:

Date of SEC Approval Authorized Shares April 12, 1991 10,000,000 October 7, 1993 15,000,000 August 30, 1994 20,000,000 July 26, 1995 25,000,000 September 12, 1997 50,000,000 September 5, 2005 100,000,000 September 14, 2007 160,000,000 September 5, 2008 200,000,000 As reported by the Parent Company’s transfer agent, Stock Transfer Service, Inc., the total number of stockholders is 1,998 and 2,002 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On April 4, 2012 and May 3, 2012, the BOD and the stockholders owning or representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding capital stock, respectively, approved the amendment of Article Sixth (a) of the Parent Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a ten-for-one stock split of the Parent Company’s common shares which resulted in an increase in the number of authorized shares from P0.20 million to P2.00 billion shares and a reduction in par value of the shares from P100.00 to P10.00 per share, without affecting the authorized capital stock of the Parent Company of 20.00 billion. The SEC approved the amendment of Articles of Incorporation on August 24, 2012.

Dividends On May 2, 2013, the BOD approved the declaration of 10.00% stock and P12 per share cash dividends to stockholders of record as of July 19, 2013. The BSP and SEC approved the dividend declaration on June 21, 2013.

On May 3, 2012, the BOD approved the declaration of 10.00% stock and P12 per share cash dividends to stockholders of record as of July 18, 2012. The BSP and SEC approved the dividend declaration on May 30, 2012.

On May 4, 2011, the BOD approved the declaration of 10.00% stock and P12 per share cash dividends to stockholders of record as of July 1, 2011. The BSP and SEC approved the dividend declaration on June 10, 2011.

The computation of surplus available for dividend declaration in accordance with SEC Memorandum Circular No. 11 issued in December 2008 differs to a certain extent from the computation following BSP guidelines.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, surplus includes the amount of P1.28 billion, net of deferred tax liability of P547.40 million, representing transfer of revaluation increment on land which was carried at deemed cost when the Group transitioned to PFRS in 2005 (Note 11). This amount will be available to be declared as dividends upon sale of the underlying land.

In the consolidated financial statements, a portion of the Group’s surplus corresponding to the net earnings of the subsidiaries amounting to P211.67 million and P170.99 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is not available for dividend declaration. The accumulated equity in net earnings becomes available for dividends upon declaration and receipt of cash dividends from the investees.

Reserves In compliance with BSP regulations, 10.00% of the Parent Company’s profit from trust business is appropriated to surplus reserve. This annual appropriation is required until the surplus reserves for trust business equals 20.00% of the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock.

Capital 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 of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Regulatory Qualifying Capital Under existing BSP regulations, the determination of the Parent Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements and ratios is based on the amount of the Parent Company’s unimpaired capital (regulatory capital) as reported to the BSP. This is determined on the basis of regulatory accounting policies which differ from PFRS in some respects.

In addition, the risk-based capital ratio of a bank, expressed as a percentage of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets, should not be less than 10.00% for both solo basis (head office and branches) and consolidated basis (Parent Company and subsidiaries engaged in financial allied undertakings but excluding insurance companies). Qualifying capital and risk-weighted assets are computed based on BSP regulations. 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.

Annual Report 2013 141 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Basel II capital adequacy framework. The new BSP guidelines took effect on July 1, 2007. Thereafter, banks were required to compute their CAR using these guidelines. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group’s CAR under BSP Circular No. 538 is 15.39% and 16.00%, respectively.

The CAR of the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 as reported to the BSP are shown in the table below.

The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 (supplementary) capital, which includes general loan loss provision, and net unrealized gains on AFS equity securities.

Standardized credit risk weights were used in the credit assessment of asset exposures. Third party credit assessments were based on ratings by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, while PhilRatings were used on peso-denominated exposures to Sovereigns, MDBs, Banks, LGUs, Government Corporations, Corporates.

The Group and its individually regulated operations have complied with all externally imposed capital requirements throughout the period.

The issuance of BSP Circular No. 639 covering the ICAAP in 2009 supplements the BSP’s risk-based capital adequacy framework under Circular No. 538. In compliance with this new circular, the Parent Company has adopted and developed its ICAAP framework to ensure that appropriate level and quality of capital are maintained by the Group. Under this framework, the assessment of risks extends beyond the Pillar 1 set of credit, market and operational risks and onto other risks deemed material by the Parent Company. The level and structure of capital are assessed and determined in light of the Parent Company’s business environment, plans, performance, risks and budget; as well as regulatory edicts. BSP requires submission of an ICAAP document every January 31. The Group has complied with this requirement.

On January 15, 2013, the BSP issued Circular No. 781, Basel III Implementing Guidelines on Minimum Capital Requirements, which provides the implementing guidelines on the revised risk-based capital adequacy framework particularly on the minimum capital and disclosure requirements for universal banks and commercial banks, as well as their subsidiary banks and quasi-banks, in accordance with the Basel III standards. The circular took effect on January 1, 2014.

The Circular sets out a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 6.0% and Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.5%. It also introduces a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% comprised of CET1 capital. The BSP’s existing requirement for Total CAR remains unchanged at 10% and this ratio shall be maintained at all times.

Further, existing capital instruments as of 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. Capital instruments issued under BSP Circular Nos. 709 and 716 (the circulars amending the definition of qualifying capital particularly on Hybrid

142 Tier 1 and Lower Tier 2 capitals), starting January 1, 2011 and before the effectivity of BSP Circular No. 781, shall be recognized as qualifying capital until December 31, 2015. In addition to changes in minimum capital requirements, this Circular also requires various regulatory adjustments in the calculation of qualifying capital.

The Group has taken into consideration the impact of the foregoing requirements to ensure that the appropriate level and quality of capital are maintained on an ongoing basis.

23. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Group has separate funded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all its officers and regular employees. Under these retirement plans, all covered officers and employees are entitled to cash benefits after satisfying certain age and service requirements. The latest actuarial valuation studies of the retirement plans were made as of December 31, 2013.

The Group’s annual contribution to the retirement plan consists of a payment covering the current service cost, unfunded actuarial accrued liability and interest on such unfunded actuarial liability.

The amounts of net defined benefit asset (liability) in the balance sheets follow:

25. LEASE CONTRACTS

The lease contracts are for periods ranging from one to 25 years from the dates of contracts and are renewable under certain terms and conditions. Various lease contracts include escalation clauses, most of which bear an annual rent increase of 5.00% to 10.00%.

Annual rentals on these lease contracts included in ‘Occupancy cost’ in the statements of income in 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to P296.00 million, P212.69 million and P215.63 million, respectively, for the Group, and P229.00 million, P181.00 million and P195.57 million, respectively, for the Parent Company.

26. INCOME AND OTHER 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 ‘Provision for income tax’ in the statements of income.

Republic Act (RA) No. 9337, An Act Amending National Internal Revenue Code, provides that RCIT rate shall be 30.00% while interest expense allowed as a deductible expense is reduced to 33.00% of interest income subject to final tax.

An MCIT of 2.00% on modified gross income is computed and compared with the RCIT. Any excess MCIT over RCIT is deferred and can be used as a tax credit against future income tax liability for the next three years. In addition, the NOLCO is allowed as a deduction from taxable income in the next three years from the year of inception.

Effective in May 2004, RA No. 9294 restored the tax exemption of FCDUs and 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.

Interest income on deposit placements with other FCDU and offshore banking units (OBUs) is taxed at 7.50%, while all other income of the FCDU is subject to the 30.00% corporate tax.

On March 15, 2011, the BIR issued Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 4-2011 which prescribes the attribution and allocation of expenses between FCDUs/EFCDUs or OBU and RBU and within RBU. Pursuant to the regulations, the Parent Company made an allocation of its expenses in calculating income taxes due for RBU and FCDU.

Current tax regulations also provide for the ceiling on the amount of entertainment, amusement and recreation (EAR) expense that can be claimed as a deduction against taxable income. Under the regulations, EAR expense allowed as a deductible expense is limited to the actual EAR paid or incurred but not to exceed 1.00% of the Parent Company’s net revenue.

146 The provision for income tax consists of:

30. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group’s operating businesses are recognized and managed separately according to the nature of services provided and the markets served, with each segment representing a strategic business unit. The Group’s business segments are as follows:

a. Consumer Banking Group - principally handles housing and auto loans for individual and corporate customers; b. Institutional Banking Group (formerly Account Management Group) - principally administers all the lending, trade finance and corollary banking products and services offered to corporate and institutional customers;

152 c. Branch Banking Group - principally handles retail and commercial loans, individual and corporate deposits, overdrafts and funds transfer facilities, trade facilities and all other services for retail customers; d. Treasury Group - principally provides money market, trading and treasury services, as well as the management of the Group’s funding operations by the use of government securities, placements and acceptances with other banks; and e. Others - principally handles other services including but not limited to asset management, insurance brokerage, remittances, operations and financial control, and other support services.

The Group reports its primary segment information to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) on the basis of the above- mentioned segments. The CODM of the Group is the Chief Operating Officer.

Segment assets are those operating assets that are employed by a segment in its operating activities that are either directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.

Segment liabilities are those operating liabilities that result from the operating activities of a segment and that either are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.

Interest income is reported net as management primarily relies on the net interest income as performance measure, not the gross income and expense.

The segment results include internal transfer pricing adjustments across business units as deemed appropriate by management. Transactions between segments are conducted at estimated market rates on an arm’s length basis. Interest is charged/credited to the business units based on a pool rate which approximates the marginal cost of funds.

Other operating income mainly consists of trading and securities gain (loss) - net, service charges, fees and commissions, trust fee income and foreign exchange gain - net. Other operating expense mainly consists of compensation and fringe benefits, provision for impairment and credit losses, taxes and licenses, occupancy, depreciation and amortization, stationery, supplies and postage and insurance. Other operating income and expense are allocated between segments based on equitable sharing arrangements.

The Group has no significant customers which contributes 10% or more of the consolidated revenues.

The Group’s asset producing revenues are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical location); therefore, geographical segment information is no longer presented.

35. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Acquisition of PDB On January 15, 2014, the Parent Company obtained control of PDB upon its acquisition of majority of PDB’s outstanding subscribed capital stock in exchange for a cash consideration amounting to P1.13 billion (net of a 10.00% amount held under escrow to cover indemnifications to the Parent Company). The acquisition is pursuant to the SPA signed on December 18, 2013 by the Parent Company and the selling PDB stockholders representing 84.77% interest in PDB.

Also on January 15, 2014, the following significant closing conditions of the SPA were carried out: a) Execution of the deeds of absolute sale of shares in favor of the Parent Company, evidencing the sale, assignment, transfer, and conveyance by majority of the selling PDB shareholders of the relevant sale shares; b) Resignation of each of the original members of the BOD of PDB; c) Election/re-election of the new members of the BOD of PDB, majority of which are members of the BOD of the Group.

On January 17, 2014, the Parent Company remitted cash amounting to P1.30 billion to PDB which will be converted to PDB common shares as an additional capital infusion.

As of the date of the authorization for issue of the financial statements, the MB of the BSP has yet to formally approve the transfer of the Sale Shares from the PDB Shareholders to the Parent Company. Also, the initial accounting for the business combination with PDB is incomplete and the P1.30 billion capital infusion has not been converted to PDB common shares. As of March 5, 2014, PDB has no outstanding availments from the clean credit facility granted by the Parent Company.

Merger of CBSI and Unity Bank On January 20, 2014, CBSI obtained SEC’s approval of its merger with Unity Bank. The merger was effected via a share-for-share exchange, with CBSI as the surviving entity.

Other Matters On March 5, 2014, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the capital infusion to its subsidiary, CBSI, of up to P800.0 million in tranches as may be considered necessary to support CBSI’s planned business growth and expansion and to enable CBSI to meet the minimum capital requirement under Basel III. In the said meeting, the BOD authorized the Parent Company to conduct a Rights Issue, by way of offering common shares to certain eligible shareholders, subject to approval of the regulatory agencies.

The Parent Company expects to raise proceeds of up to P8.0 billion for the Rights Issue. The additional capital will enable the Parent Company to pursue growth strategies while ensuring that its capital adequacy levels remain above the new Basel III requirements, particularly in light of the recent acquisition of PDB.
