No. B-104 and B-105 of Tagaytay Prime Residences. Cityland stated in its Answer that no
Deed of Absolute Sale or Contract to Sale was entered into by the parties. There was no
meeting of minds to consummate a contract because there was no consent made by the seller
(Cityland). Unfavorable decision was rendered by the HLURB-Region IV Office, and the
same was appealed to the Board of Commissioners which is now pending.
2. Petition for Cancellation of Adverse Claim Annotated at the Back of TCT No. 076-

This is a petition to cancel an adverse claim annotated on the title covering a lot of Cityland in

Village Homeowners' Assoc. (“TEVHOA” herein) caused the annotation of adverse claim on
the title of a property of Cityland covered by TCT No. 076-2011002118, alleging that certain
lots in their subdivision were excluded from their subdivision without their consent. Cityland
did not receive any notice from the Registry of Deeds as to the annotation of the Adverse
Claim on its title. The Company argued that there is absolutely no basis for such adverse
claim because the necessary permits, including the written consent of the TEVHOA were
procured by Cityland prior to the revision of the subdivision plan. The court ordered the
amendment of the petition to include certain defendants. Trial of the case is on-going.

copy should the person holding the same refuse to surrender the same, and for the Register of
Deeds of Pasig City to issue a new certificate of title in the name of Litonjua and possession of
the subject property.

Cityland as it clearly refers to a dispute with Cityland Wack Wack Royal Mansion Inc., which
has a personality separate and distinct from Cityland. The Arbiter recommended that the
conciliation proceedings be terminated and for Ms. Biscocho to file a formal complaint, but to
date no such complaint has been filed.

CITYLAND, INC.
THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The Philippine economy posted an impressive 6.1% growth rate, ranking the country as the second fastest
growing economy in Asia next to China, which posted a 7.3% growth. The Country’s growth rate showed
remarkable resilience and has rebounded quickly from the challenges brought by natural calamities. The
Country sustained its growth due to strong household consumption, rise in private investments, growth in
public spending and stable inflows from offshore remittances. The improving US and Japan economies and
lower oil prices have provided support for stable inflows.
The property sector on the other hand, is experiencing a period of growth driven by population growth and
the rapid expansion of the business process outsourcing industry. Other positives include, good governance
which improved business sentiments and encouraged local and foreign investors and stable monetary
policies which resulted to low interest and inflation rates. Furthermore, the growing number of tourists and
overseas workers have spurred investments in real estate properties. With the current business environment,
the Company believes that the property market in the Philippines will sustain its current performance.
For this year’s accomplishment, CI has completed the construction of Tagaytay Prime Residences. In
addition, in October 2014, CLDI has launched a new project - North Residences.
Also, to address the increasing demand for business process outsourcing (BPO) offices, CDC leased out a
new BPO hub, Citynet 1.
The Group is pre-selling the following on-going projects:
North Residences
Pines Peak Tower I
Grand Central Residences
The Manila Residences Tower II

Makati Executive Tower IV
Makati Executive Tower III

locations ideal for horizontal and vertical developments.

MAJOR RISKS INVOLVED IN EACH OF THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
The risks to which the Group is exposed include the internal risks such as refinancing risk, credit risk, interest
rate risk, market risk and liquidity risk; business risks and operational risks; and external ones arising from the
political and economic situation, real estate industry outlook, market competition and asset price bubble.
INTERNAL FACTORS
Refinancing The Group is primarily engaged in real estate development. Risk factor includes short-
term borrowings which increases the possibility of refinancing risks. This debt mix in
favor of short-term borrowings is a strategy which the Group adopted to take
advantage of lower cost of money for short-term loans versus long-term loans.
Because the Group has the flexibility to convert its short-term loans to a long-term
position by drawing down its credit lines with several banks or sell its receivables,
refinancing risk is greatly reduced.
The Group manages such refinancing risks by having a current and acid-test ratio of
2.10:1 and 1.15:1 as of December 31, 2014 from 1.91:1 and 1.02:1 as of December
31, 2013, respectively.
Credit Risk This is defined as the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a
financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The financial
instruments which may be the subject of credit risk are the installment contracts
receivables and other financial assets of the Group. The corresponding management
strategies for the aforementioned risks are as follows:
1. The credit risk on the installment contracts receivables may arise from the
buyers who may default on the payment of their amortizations. The Group
manages this risk by dealing only with recognized and credit worthy third
parties. Moreover, it is the Group’s policy to subject customers who buy on
financing to credit verification procedures. Also, receivable balances are
monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad
debts is insignificant.
2. The credit risk on the financial assets of the Group such as cash and cash
equivalents, short-term cash investments, financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss and available for sale investments may arise from default of the
counterparty. The Group manages such risks in accordance to its policy wherein
the Group shall enter into transactions with a diversity of creditworthy parties to
mitigate any significant concentration of credit risks. As such, there are no
significant concentrations of credit risks in the Group.
Interest Rate
Risk
This is the risk arising from uncertain future interest rates.
The Group’s financial instruments are:
a. The Group’s financial assets mainly consist of installment contract receivables,
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest rates on these
assets are fixed at their inception and are therefore not subject to fluctuations in
interest rates.
b. For the financial liabilities, the Group only has short-term commercial papers
(STCP) which bear fixed interest rates. Thus, these are not exposed to
fluctuations in interest rates.
Market Risk This is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Financial instruments which their value
on market factors are subject to market risk.
The available-for-sale investments are exposed to market risk. There is a risk for a
decline in the value due to changes in the market. The exposure, however, is
21
negligible because the amount of the said investment is insignificant as compared to
the financial assets of the Group.
Liquidity Risk
This is the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital from a company’s
inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable
losses. The Group’s treasury has a well-monitored funding and settlement
management plan. The following is the liquidity risk management framework
maintained by the Group:
a. Asset- Liability Management: Funding sources are substantially from short term
borrowings. Funding sources are abundant and provide a competitive cost
advantage. The Group also holds financial assets for which there is a liquid
market and are, therefore, readily saleable to meet liquidity needs.
b. Conservative/ Liability Structure: Funding is widely diversified. There is little
reliance on wholesale funding services or other credit sensitive fund providers.
The Group accesses funding across a diverse range of markets and counter
parties.
c. Excess Liquidity: The Group maintains considerable excess liquidity to meet a
broad range of potential cash outflows from business needs including financial
obligations.
d. Funding Flexibility: The Group has an objective to maintain a balance between
continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of STCPs. As such, the
Group addresses risk on liquidity by maintaining committed borrowing facilities
in the form of bank lines and established record in accessing these markets.
COMPANY’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Land Banking The Group’s land banking consists of lots for future development of its condominium
projects and lot/s intended for lease. Having enough and diversified land banking is
important to support the sustainability of the Group’s business. The Group may be
exposed to risks because of the possible changes in the value of these lots due to
market circumstances which may result in impairment or decline in rental rate levels.
The Group currently has prime lots for future development which are located in the
different areas of Metro Manila. The management also is in continuous study and
research on the possible land acquisition which will depend on the needs of the Group
and negotiations with prospective buyers. For the land value changes and decline, the
Company continues to be cautious in its property buying which includes studies of
appraisal and conditions of the property within the vicinity.
Property
development and
construction
Construction of a condominium project starts from the planning and securing of
permits, to the development or construction of the project and to the delivery or
turnover of the units to the buyers. The construction of a project involves an average
period of time to complete the building, usually from three to four years. During this
period of time, the Group may be exposed to the following risks:
delays or longer than expected time of securing necessary licenses, permits
and approvals from different government agencies or neighborhood;
possible rise in the cost of materials and labor which will impact pricing and
cost;
labor disputes among and with the contractors and sub-contractors; and
delay in the delivery of the project.
These risks are managed by the Group as follows:
well-planned and carefully-phased project development with a reasonable
timetable;
concrete sources of financing of the project;
accreditation and careful selection of general contractors and sub-contractors
to ensure fulfillment and quality of work; and
continuous and meticulous management of the Group’s project development
team to ensure that the project is progressing and being accomplished
according to planned.
22
ECONOMIC FACTORS
Economic The Group’s business consists mainly of providing office and housing units in
the Philippines and the results of the operations will be influenced by the general
conditions of the Philippine economy. Any economic instability or failure to
register improved economic performance in the future may adversely affect the
Group’s operations and eventually its financial performance.
Political The Group’s business like all other businesses may be influenced by the political
situation in the country. Any political instability in the future could have a
material adverse effect in the Group’s business.
Industry The industry is characterized by boom-bust cyclical pattern exhibited in the past
couple of decades where the industry normally goes through years of robust
growth following years of slowdown. The industry is still in the boom stage.
Competition
The demand for housing especially in the medium-cost category has moderately
stepped up. The situation has attracted both old and new players to develop
projects that cater to this rising demand. As a result of the foregoing,
competition in the area of medium-cost development is expected to intensify.
The Group believes that it is in a better position to cope with the competition
because of the affordability of the projects it offers in the market.
Asset Price
Bubble
Asset price bubble in real estate occurs when there is an identified rapid
increases in valuations of real property until they reach unsustainable levels and
then decline. Real estate bubbles had existed in the recent past and is still widely
believed to exist in many countries such in United States which had resulted in
the recent subprime mortgage crisis.
In the Philippines, records of low interest rates have raised concerns over
potential asset bubbles. However, the government, through the Finance
Secretary said that this risk is under control (www.cnbc.com). Increased scrutiny
and monitoring of this risk in the country comes after Hong Kong and Singapore
adopted measures to cool property prices (www.bloomberg.com). This asset
price bubble risk is intensely monitored by the government agencies,
Department of Finance and the Philippine Central Bank which are set to
introduce a residential property-price index. This risk will be continuously
mitigated by the appropriate actions and policies of regulators as well as the
banking sector. Also, since the Philippine economy showed a healthy and
sustainable growth, this reduces the risk of asset price bubble.
“According to BSP Deputy Governor, Diwa C. Guinigundo, property price
increases are also supported by strong economic foundations and favorable
market conditions. Comparatively, the Philippines still has the lowest real estate
rates in all of Asia. The country also has not experienced an artificial and
unsustainable peak of property prices. There is a robust demand in housing,
office space, and even hotels, and this demand, according to Guinigundo, is
supported by the lending sector, such as banks and various government
agencies.”(Source:http://www.lamudi.com.ph/journal/8-reasons-philippines-
avoided-real-estate-bubble/)
The Group’s projects belong to the medium-cost category which cater to the
middle income groups. This minimizes the Group’s exposure to asset price
bubbles risk as compared to the high-end players in the real estate industry.

The Group manages the above risks by conducting assessments of the economic and political
situations of the country as well as new developments in the industry. The procedures involve the
gathering of information of economic indicators and political events as well as being aware of the
new developments in the industry through media, business conferences, economic briefings and
other sources.
With this information, the Group is able to assess and manage the risks mentioned above.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Financial Condition (2014 vs. 2013)
Total assets of the Group as of December 31, 2014 amounted to P=12.52B, higher than the previous year’s
level of P=12.43B. Increase in assets can be attributed to higher installment contracts receivable, real estate
properties for future development and investment properties. Cash were re-invested in shorter period
placements and were partially channeled to fund real estate projects. Funds were substantially used to
finance the condominium projects that are still under construction, namely, The Manila Residences Tower
II, Grand Central Residences, Pines Peak Tower I and North Residences. The Group also partially settled its
outstanding notes payable, income tax payable and other liabilities, thereby reducing its total liabilities by
11.61%. The healthy cash position cash allowed the purchase of two prime lots, and the launching of a new
condominium project by the subsidiary, CLDI.
Equity stood at P=8.68B as of December 31, 2014 from last year’s P=8.09B due to comprehensive income of
P=790.49M net of cash dividends declared amounting to P=205.71M.
As a result of the foregoing the liquidity position recovered with current ratio and acid ratio recorded at
2.10:1 and 1.15:1 in 2014 as compared to 1.91:1 and 1.02:1 in 2013. The decrease in total liabilities
however strengthened the company’s solvency position with debt-equity ratio improving from 0.56:1 to
0.48:1.
Financial Condition (2013 vs. 2012)
Total assets of the Group as of December 31, 2013 amounted to P=12.43B from P=12.16B, as of the previous
year. The Group’s resources were substantially utilized for condominium development which led to the
progressive increase in construction accomplishment of all the on-going projects and the early completion
of Makati Executive Tower IV, a project of the subsidiary, CDC. It can be noted that all projects of the
subsidiary, CLDI were all completed and almost fully sold, which led to the decrease in its real estate
properties for sale. However, CLDI’s inventory will eventually increase upon the launching of a new
project next year.
On the liabilities side, the healthy cash position allowed the Group to partially settle its notes payable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses and payable to stockholders. In addition, CLDI managed its
development costs prudently which resulted to the reversal of excess estimated development cost reducing
the “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account. As a result of the foregoing, total liabilities
decreased by 8.61%. Excess funds were shifted from cash and cash equivalents account to short term cash
investments to increase interest income earnings.
Equity stood at P=8.091B as of December 31, 2013 as compared to P=7.41B due to net income of P=869.31M
less cash dividends of P=193.42M.
The Group’s acid-test ratio and current ratio were registered at 1.02:1 and 1.91:1 at the end of the year, as
compared with 2012 at 1.02:1 and1.78:1, respectively. Asset to equity ratio and asset to liability ratio were
computed at 2.47:1 and 2.86:1, as compared with the previous year of 2.66:1 and 2.56:1, respectively.
Financial Condition (2012 vs. 2011)
The Group’s balance sheet remained solid with total assets of P=12.16B in 2012 as compared to the previous
level of P=11.83B. The increase can be attributed to the increase in cash and cash equivalents and real estate
properties for sale and held for future development. Sales of real estate properties, collection of receivables,
issuance of promissory notes and the shift to shorter period placements of cash investments increased cash
24
and cash equivalents account by 46.28%. The healthy cash position enabled the subsidiary company, CDC
to reach a 98.36% completion rate of Makati Executive Tower IV and to launch a new project in 2012.
On the other hand, the subsidiary company, City and Land Developer’s, Inc. has completed Manila
Residences Bocobo and has purchased of a lot, increasing real estate properties for future development by
9.71%. Real estate properties for sale increased due to the high completion rate of all on-going projects. On
the liabilities side, total liabilities decreased by 3.21%, due to payment of accounts payable and accrued
expenses, payables to stockholders and decrease in deferred tax liabilities.
As a result of the foregoing, the group’s liquidity position remained stable with acid-test and current ratio of
1.02:1 and 1.78:1 for 2012, as compared with 2011 of 0.88:1 and 1.59:1, respectively. Asset to liability ratio
and asset to equity ratio were at 2.66:1 and 2.56:1, from previous year of 2.74:1 and 2.41:1, respectively.
Equity stood at P=7.41B, higher by 6.96% as compared with 2011 of P=6.93B.
The increase was due to net income of P=674.38M less cash dividends of P=212.99M.
Results of Operation (2014 vs. 2013)
Revenue from sales of real estate properties increased by 16.09% from P=2.03B in 2013 to P=2.35B in 2014.
Revenue growth was driven by sales and higher completion rate of the condominium projects. The parent
company’s projects, Tagaytay Prime Residences and The Manila Residences Tower II were in full blast
construction. This resulted to the completion of Tagaytay Prime Residences in June 2014, while The
Manila Residences II reached a high completion rate of 86.47%. These two projects made a substantial
revenue contribution accounting for 20.17% and 26.00%, respectively.
On the side of the subsidiary company, CDC, construction activities of Grand Central Residences and Pines
Peak Tower 1, were in full blast, leading to the 83.74% and 66.18% completion rates, respectively. Sales
contribution of Grand Central reached 19.69% and is expected to increase as it nears its completion date on
June 2015. While, Pines Peak Tower I and the completed condominiums, Makati Executive Tower III and
IV were continuously sold and provided stable cash flows, and accounted for 6.25%, 1.19% and 6.08% , of
total revenues on sale of real estate properties, respectively.
In addition, another subsidiary, CLDI sold a prime lot and the remaining units of the two completed
condominium projects, Grand Emerald Tower and Manila Residences Bocobo. With the launching of the
new condominium project, North Residences, sales are expected to increase next year.
Other sources of revenues are financial and rent income. Financial income which is primarily composed of
interest income from real estate properties accounted for 13.69% of total revenues. Decrease in this account
was due to lower level of receivables and lower interest rates. As for leasing operations, it is worthy to note
that the operations of the newly completed building Citynet 1 started in February 2014 which resulted to the
increase in rental income by 143.54%.
On the cost side, cost of real estate sales increased due to the sale of a prime lot, while operating expenses
decreased due to lower personnel expenses and professional fees. Lower interest rates and partial
settlement of notes and contracts payable eased interest payments resulting to the reduction of financial
expenses by 52.09%.
As a result of the foregoing, financial performance for the year resulted to a net income of P=790.57M from
the previous year’s P= 869.31M. This translated to an earnings per share and return on equity of
P=9.12 and 10.48% in 2014 as compared with P=9.34 and 11.64% in 2013.
Results of Operation (2013 vs. 2012)
Revenue from sales reached P=2.027B, higher over last year’s figure of P=1.905B. Although sales of the
subsidiary, CLDI decreased due to low inventory, sales and the high accomplishment rates of the parent
company and another subsidiary, CDC pushed total revenue on sales to increase. Cityland, Incorporated’s
on-going projects, Tagaytay Prime Residences and The Manila Residences II were in full blast construction
which resulted to a completion rate of 91.57% and 68.49% from 64.95% and 28.16%, respectively. On the
other hand, CDC’s Makati Executive Tower IV and Grand Central Residences were also in full blast
construction which led to their 100.00% and 60.11% completion from the previous years’ 98.36% and
29.25%, respectively. Pines Peak Tower I, the newest project of CDC, contributed modestly to total sales
as it reached a 24.88% completion in 2013. Meantime, the remaining units of the other completed projects
of the group like Grand Emerald Tower, Manila Residences Bocobo, Makati Executive Tower III,
25
Mandaluyong Executive Mansion III, The Manila Residences and Brentwood Mansion were continuously
sold and generated stable cash flows.
Other sources of revenues are financial income and rent income. Financial income is primarily composed
of interest income from sale of real estate properties accounting for 18.16% of total revenues. With respect
to lease operations, rent income for the year increased due to increase in units available for lease. Income
from lease operations is expected to increase next year due to the launching of CDC’s new BPO hub
(business process outsourcing office) in the fourth quarter of the year. Increase in other revenue was due to
the adjustment of excess estimated development cost over actual cost of a completed project of CLDI.
On the cost side, the Company was successful in managing costs resulting to decrease in cost estimate of a
project resulting to the decrease in cost of sales. On the other hand, higher sales increased operating
expenses and provision for income tax as this move in tandem with sales. In addition, accrual adjustments
were made to professional fees and personnel expenses. On the other hand, financial expenses dropped to
P=38.27M from P=82.89M, due to partial settlement of notes and contracts payable and due to lower interest
rates.
Altogether, net income after tax stood at P=869.31M as compared to the previous year of P=672.75M and
translated to earnings per share and return on equity of P=9.34 and 11.64% as compared with last years’
P=6.35 and 8.71%.
Results of Operation (2012 vs. 2011)
The Company posted a consolidated net income of P=672.75M from the previous year’s P=729.39M. Total
revenues reached P=2.580B from P=2.715B. The decrease can be attributed to lower inventory level of the
subsidiary, CLDI, since the two projects, Grand Emerald Tower and Manila Residences Bocobo were sold
at 86.50% and 72.52% at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, sales of the remaining inventory resulted
to a sell out rate of Grand Emerald Tower and Manila Residences Bocobo at 95.22% and 90.85%,
respectively.
On the other hand, the parent company’s sales increased by 16.48%, due to increase in sales and percentage
of completion of its projects. The parent company’s completed project, The Manila Residences I
contributed 5.16% to annual sales and reach a 96.67% sell-out rate. While the other two projects which are
in full blast construction, The Manila Residences II and Tagaytay Prime Residences contributed a
significant 7.23% and 7.89%, to annual sales and reached a 28.16% and 64.95% rate of completion,
respectively.
Meantime, the completed projects of another subsidiary, CDC, Makati Executive Tower III and
Mandaluyong Executive Mansion III reached a sell out rate of 91.47% and 92.45%, respectively. Moreover,
its project Makati Executive Tower IV which was completed in 2013, was sold at 47.37%. Grand Central
Residences and Pines Peak Tower I are the two projects of CDC which are still at the initial stages of
construction.
On the cost side, lower revenues decreased cost of real estate sales. Operating expenses likewise decrease
due to lower donations and contributions, professional fees, taxes and licenses and insurance expenses.
Interest expense remained manageable at P=82.89M as compared to the previous year of P=105.46M.
Altogether, net income after tax stood at P=672.75M as compared to the previous year of P=729.39M and
translated to earnings per share and return on equity of P=6.35 and 8.71% as compared with last years’ P=8.48
and 9.86%.

Changes in Accounting PoliciesThe accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except forthe following new and amended PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), and amendmentto existing Philippine Interpretation based on International Financial Reporting InterpretationCommittee (IFRIC) interpretations effective as of January 1, 2014:
· Investment Entities (Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 12,Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, and PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements)These amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities thatmeet the definition of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation
- 2 -
*SGVFS008696*
requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. Theamendments must be applied retrospectively, subject to certain transition relief. Theseamendments are not relevant to the Group.
· PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and FinancialLiabilities (Amendments)The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to offset”and the criterion for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify foroffsetting and are applied retrospectively. The amendments have no significant impact on theGroup’s financial position or performance.
· PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets(Amendments)These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13 on the disclosuresrequired under PAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverableamounts for the assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) for which impairment loss has beenrecognized or reversed during the period. The application of these amendments has nomaterial impact on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
· PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement-Novation of Derivatives andContinuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments)These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of aderivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The Group has noderivatives during the current and in prior periods; thus, these amendments have no impact onthe consolidated financial statements.
· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, Levies (IFRIC 21)IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggerspayment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered uponreaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should beanticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. Retrospective application isrequired for IFRIC 21. This interpretation has no impact on the Group as it has applied therecognition principles under PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and ContingentAssets, consistent with the requirements of IFRIC 21 in prior years.
· Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle)In the 2010-2012 annual improvements cycle, seven amendments to six standards were issued,which included an amendment to PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The amendment toPFRS 13 is effective immediately and it clarifies that short-term receivables and payables withno stated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting isimmaterial. This amendment has no significant impact on the Group.
· Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle)In the 2011-2013 annual improvements cycle, four amendments to four standards were issued,which included an amendment to PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine FinancialReporting Standards–First-time Adoption of PFRS. The amendment to PFRS 1 is effectiveimmediately. It clarifies that an entity may choose to apply either a current standard or a newstandard that is not yet mandatory, but permits early application, provided either standard isapplied consistently throughout the periods presented in the entity’s first PFRS financialstatements. This amendment has no impact on the Group as it is not a first-time PFRSadopter.

Basis of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements consist of the financial statements of the Parent Companyand its subsidiaries as of December 31 of each year. The financial statements of the subsidiariesare prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company using consistent accountingpolicies.
These subsidiaries, all incorporated and domiciled in the Philippines, and the percentage ofownership of the Parent Company in 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
Percentageof Ownership
Nature ofActivity
Direct:CAI 100.00 AdvertisingCLHI 100.00 HoldingCDC 50.42 Real estate
Indirect through CDC (including direct ownership ofthe Parent Company in CLDI of 29.54% andCPI of 9.18%):CLDI 54.61 Real EstateCPI 54.97 Pre-need pension
plans
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Parent Company. Control is achieved when theParent Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with theinvestee 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 therelevant activities of the investee)
· Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investeeThe ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
When the Parent Company 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 aninvestee, including:
· The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee· Rights arising from other contractual arrangements· The Parent Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The Parent Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstancesindicate 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 andceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses ofa subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financialstatements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control thesubsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to theequity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results inthe non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to
- 4 -
*SGVFS008696*
the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’saccounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flowsrelating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as anequity transaction. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in thesubsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests is adjustedand the fair value of the consideration paid or received shall be recognized directly in equity andattributed to the owners of the parent.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill,if any), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gainor loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
Non-controlling InterestsNon-controlling interests represent the interests in the subsidiaries not held by the ParentCompany, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of income, consolidatedstatement of comprehensive income and within the equity section of the consolidated balancesheets, separate from the Parent Company’s equity.
Current versus Noncurrent ClassificationThe Group presents assets and liabilities in balance sheet based on current/noncurrentclassification. An asset as current when it is:
· Expected to be realized or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle· Held primarily for the purpose of trading· Expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period, or· Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least 12 months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as noncurrent.
A liability is current when:· It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle· It is held primarily for the purpose of trading· It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, or· There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting period.
The Group classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquidinvestments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of threemonths or less from dates of acquisition, and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
- 5 -
*SGVFS008696*
Short-term Cash InvestmentsShort-term cash investments are investments with maturities of more than three months but notexceeding one year from dates of acquisition.
Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesDate of recognitionThe Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheetwhen it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. In the case of a regularway purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is doneusing settlement date accounting.
Initial recognition of financial instrumentsFinancial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, which is the fair value of theconsideration given (in case of an asset) or received (in case of a liability). The initialmeasurement of financial instruments, except for those designated at fair value through profit orloss, includes directly attributable transaction costs.
Classification of financial instrumentsSubsequent to initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial instruments in the followingcategories: financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans andreceivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets and other financialliabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments are acquired andwhether they are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification at initialrecognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this classification at each end ofreporting period.
a. Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
A financial asset or financial liability is classified in this category if acquired principally forthe purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term or upon initial recognition it isdesignated by the management as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets or financial liabilities classified in this category are designated as at fair valuethrough profit or loss by management on initial recognition when the following criteria aremet:
· The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that wouldotherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses onthem on a different basis; or
· The assets or liabilities are part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities, orboth financial assets and financial liabilities, which are managed and their performance isevaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management orinvestment strategy; or
· The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embeddedderivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or noanalysis, that it would not be separately recorded.
- 6 -
*SGVFS008696*
Financial assets or financial liabilities classified under this category are carried at fair value inthe consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such assets and liabilities arerecognized in the consolidated statement of income.
The Group designated its investments in trust funds as financial assets at fair value throughprofit or loss. The Group’s investments in trust funds directly relate to the Pre-need Reservesaccounts.
b. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable paymentsthat are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods orservices directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. Loans and receivablesare carried at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization is determinedusing the effective interest rate method.
The Group’s loans and receivables consist of cash in banks, cash equivalents, short-term cashinvestments, installment contracts receivable and other receivables.
c. Held-to-maturity Investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments and fixed maturities wherein the Group has the positive intention and ability to holdto maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost in the consolidatedbalance sheet. Amortization is determined using the effective interest rate method.
The Group has no held-to-maturity investments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
d. Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in thiscategory or not classified in any of the other categories. Available-for-sale financial assets arecarried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such assetsare accounted in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in equity.
The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets consist of investments in quoted equitysecurities that are traded in liquid markets, held for the purpose of investing in liquid fundsand not generally intended to be retained on a long-term basis.
e. Other Financial Liabilities
Other financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group owes money,goods or services directly to a creditor with no intention of trading the payables. Otherfinancial liabilities are carried at cost or amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet.Amortization is determined using the effective interest rate method.
The Group’s other financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses andnotes and contracts payable.
Cash dividend distributions to stockholders are recognized as financial liabilities when thedividends are approved by the BOD.

*SGVFS008696*
Offsetting of financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in theconsolidated balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset therecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset andsettle the liability simultaneously.
Fair Value MeasurementDetermination of fair valueFair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair valuemeasurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer theliability 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 participantswould use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in theireconomic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's abilityto generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it toanother 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 whichsufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observableinputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financialstatements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on thelowest 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, theGroup 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 valuemeasurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
“Day 1” DifferenceWhere the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value from otherobservable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation techniquewhose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the differencebetween the transaction price and fair value (a “Day 1” difference) in the consolidated statementof income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where inputs are
- 8 -
*SGVFS008696*
made of data which are not observable, the difference between the transaction price and modelvalue is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs becomeobservable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determinesthe appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1” difference.
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesFinancial assetsA financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similarfinancial 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 right to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) hastransferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred norretained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of theasset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from a financial asset and hasneither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferredcontrol of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement inthe asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred financialasset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximumamount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Financial liabilitiesA 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 substantiallydifferent terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange ormodification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a newliability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidatedstatement of income.
Impairment of Financial AssetsThe Group assesses at each reporting period whether a financial asset or a group of financial assetsis impaired.
Financial assets carried at amortized costThe Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually forfinancial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financialassets that are not individually significant. Objective evidence includes observable data thatcomes to the attention of the Group about loss events such as, but not limited to significantfinancial difficulty of the counterparty, a breach of contract, such as default or delinquency ininterest or principal payments, probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or otherfinancial reorganization. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for anindividually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in the groupof financial assets with similar credit risk and characteristics and that group of financial assets iscollectively assessed for impairment. Financial assets that are individually assessed for
- 9 -
*SGVFS008696*
impairment and for which an impairment loss is recognized are not included in a collectiveassessment of impairment.
The impairment assessment is performed at each end of reporting period. For the purpose ofcollective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit riskcharacteristics such as customer type, payment history, past-due status and term.
If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried atamortized cost has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between theasset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding futurecredit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effectiveinterest rates (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amountof the asset shall be reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account. Theamount of loss, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can berelated objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previouslyrecognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of thereversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Interest income continues to beaccrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset.Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect offuture recovery and all collateral, if any, has been realized or has been transferred to the Group. Ifin a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases becauseof an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairmentloss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance for impairment losses account. If a futurewrite off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the consolidated statement of incomeunder “Other income” account. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized inthe consolidated statement of income to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does notexceed its amortized cost at reversal date.
Assets carried at costIf there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss of an unquoted equity instrument that isnot carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or a derivative assetthat is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has beenincurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount andthe present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return fora similar financial asset.
Available-for-sale financial assetsIn the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, impairment isassessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interestincome is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest usedto discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual isrecorded as part of “Financial income” in the consolidated statement of income. If, in subsequentyear, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to anevent occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income,the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of income.
In case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, this would include asignificant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there isevidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisitioncost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
- 10 -
*SGVFS008696*
recognized in the consolidated statement of income - is removed from equity and recognized in theconsolidated statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized in theconsolidated statement of comprehensive income and directly in the consolidated statement ofchanges in equity.
Real Estate Properties for Sale and Real Estate Properties Held for Future DevelopmentProperty acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business and held forfuture development, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation, is classified as realestate properties for sale and real estate properties held for future development and are measuredat the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).
Cost includes:· Land cost· Amounts paid to contractors for construction· Borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees,
property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs.
NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based on market pricesat the reporting date, less estimated costs to complete and the estimated costs necessary to makethe sale. The Group recognizes the effect of revisions in the total project cost estimates in the yearin which these changes become known.
Upon commencement of development, the real estate properties held for future development istransferred to real estate properties for sale.
Repossessed real estate properties for sale arising from sale cancelations and forfeitures aremeasured at fair value less estimated costs to make the sale. Any resulting gain or loss is creditedor charged to “Other income” or “Other expenses”, respectively, in the consolidated statement ofincome.
Investments in Trust FundsThe trust fund assets and liabilities are recognized in accordance with the provisions of theapplicable PAS and PFRS and their interpretations.
Investments in trust funds are restricted to cover the Group’s pre-need reserves. These areclassified as current assets to the extent of the currently maturing pre-need reserves. Theremaining portion is classified as noncurrent assets in the balance sheet.
Investment PropertiesInvestment properties which represent real estate properties for lease are measured initially at cost,including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of existinginvestment properties at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met, andexcludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of the property. The carrying values of revaluedproperties transferred to real estate properties for lease on January 1, 2004 were considered as theassets’ deemed cost as of said date.
Subsequent to initial measurement, investment properties, except land, are carried at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value. Land is carried at costless any impairment in value. Buildings for lease are depreciated over their useful life of 25 yearswhile machinery and equipment are depreciated over their useful life of 5 to 15 years using thestraight line method.
- 11 -
*SGVFS008696*
Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when theproperty is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from itsdisposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of investment properties arerecognized in the consolidated statement of income in the year of retirement or disposal.
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 orcommencement of development with a view to sale.
Transfers between investment properties, owner-occupied property and inventories do not changethe carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property formeasurement or disclosure purposes.
Construction in progress is stated at cost. This includes costs of construction and other direct costsrelated to the investment property being constructed. Construction in progress is not depreciateduntil such time when the relevant assets are complete and ready for use. When such constructionis completed and assets are ready for use, the cost of the said assets are transferred to specificclassification under “Investment property” account.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment, except for office premises, are stated at cost less accumulateddepreciation and any impairment in value. Office premises are stated at appraised values (asset’sdeemed cost) as determined by independent firms of appraisers at the date of transition to PFRS,less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Subsequent additions to officepremises are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
The initial cost of property and equipment consists of the purchase price and any directlyattributable cost of bringing the assets to their working condition and location for their intendeduse. Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operations, such asrepairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to the consolidated statement of income inthe period in which the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated thatthe expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to beobtained from the use of an item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessedstandard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of property andequipment.
Depreciation of an item of property and equipment begins when the asset becomes available foruse, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in themanner intended by management. Depreciation ceases at the earlier of the date that the item isclassified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) inaccordance with PFRS 5, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, and thedate the asset is derecognized.
- 12 -
*SGVFS008696*
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of theproperties as follows:
YearsOffice premises 25Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5-15Transportation and other equipment 5
The assets’ useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that these areconsistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.
When property and equipment are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciationand any impairment in value are removed from the accounts, and any gains or losses from theirdisposal is included in the consolidated statement of income.
Impairment of Nonfinancial AssetsThe carrying values of real estate properties held for future development, investment propertiesand property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes incircumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If any such indicationexists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are eitherwritten down to their recoverable amount or provided with valuation allowance. An asset’srecoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costsof disposal and its value-in-use. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in the consolidatedstatement of income.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present valueusing a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of moneyand the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent markettransactions are taken into account.
The Group assesses at each reporting period whether there is an indication that previouslyrecognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. The Group considersexternal and internal sources of information in its assessment of the reversal of previouslyrecognized impairment losses. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if therehas been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the lastimpairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increasedto its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that wouldhave been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset inprior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. After such areversal, the depreciation is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carryingamount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Value-added Tax (VAT)Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognized net of the amount of VAT, except wherethe VAT incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxationauthority, in which case the VAT is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or aspart of the expense item as applicable.
The net amount of VAT recoverable from or payable to, the taxation authority is included as partof “Other current assets” or “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” respectively, in theconsolidated balance sheet.

Pre-Need ReservesCPI’s pension plans are calculated on the basis of the methodology and assumptions set out in Pre-need Rule 31, as Amended, as follows:
· the amount of provision is the present value of the funding expected to be required to settle theobligation with due consideration of the different probabilities as follows:
On Currently-Being-Paid Plans
i. Provision for termination values applying the inactivity and surrender rate experience ofCPI.
ii. For the portion of currently-being-paid plans that will reach full payment, applying thefull payment experience of CPI, the liability is equivalent to the present value of futurematurity benefits reduced by the present value of future trust fund contributions requiredper Product Model discounted at the approved hurdle rate per Product Model of theGroup.
On Lapsed Plans within the Allowable Reinstatement Period
i. Provision for termination values applying the reinstatement experience of CPI. The trendof surrender rate experience is disclosed in the note to consolidated financial statements(see Note 3).
On Fully Paid Plans
i. For those due for payment within the next five years, the reserve is the present value offuture maturity benefits discounted at the attainable rate, as determined and certified bythe CPI’s trustee using industry best practices and principles which shall be indicated insuch certification;
ii. For those not yet due for payment within the next five years, the reserves is the presentvalue of future maturity benefits discounted at the approved hurdle rate per Product Modelof CPI.
· The rates of surrender, cancellation, reinstatement, utilization, and inflation considered theactual experience of CPI in the last three years.
· The computation of the foregoing assumptions has been validated by the internal qualifiedactuary of CPI.
· Based on the Group’s experience, the probability of pre-termination on surrender of fully paidplans is below 5% and therefore considered insignificant. As such, no pre-termination ratewas considered in determining the PNR of fully paid plans. The derecognition of liabilityshall be recorded at pre-termination date.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the principal assumptions used in determining the pre-needreserves was based on the Insurance Commission (IC) Circular Letter No. 23-2012 datedNovember 28, 2012 (see Note 4). The transitory discount interest rate that shall be used in thevaluation of pre-need reserves shall not exceed the lower of the attainable rates as certified by theTrustee of 4.84% and the IC rate of 8% for 2014 and lower of the attainable rates as certified bythe Trustee of 5.81% and the IC rate of 8% for 2013.
- 14 -
*SGVFS008696*
Other reservesThe Group sets-up other provisions in accordance with PAS 37 to cover obligations such asinsurance premium reserve, pension bonus and trust fund deficiency.
Capital StockCapital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued and outstanding. When the ParentCompany issues more than one class of stock, a separate account is maintained for each class ofstock and the number of shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly attributable to theissuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax.
When the shares are sold at premium, the difference between the proceeds and the par value iscredited to the “Additional paid-in capital” account. When shares are issued for a considerationother than cash, the proceeds are measured by the fair value of the consideration received. In casethe shares are issued to extinguish or settle the liability of the Company, the shares shall bemeasured either at the fair value of the shares issued or fair value of the liability settled, whicheveris more reliably determinable.
Retained EarningsRetained earnings represent the cumulative balance of net income or loss, dividend distributions,effects of the changes in accounting policy and other capital adjustments.
Unappropriated retained earnings represent that portion of retained earnings which is free and canbe declared as dividends to stockholders. Appropriated retained earnings represent that portion ofretained earnings which has been restricted and therefore is not available for any dividenddeclaration.
The retained earnings include deemed cost adjustments on real estate properties for sale,investment properties and property and equipment that arose when the Group transitioned to PFRSin 2005. The deemed cost adjustment will be realized through depreciation in profit or loss fordepreciable assets (property and equipment and investment properties) and through sale forinventories (classified under real estate properties for sale) and land (classified under investmentproperty). The deferred income tax liability on deemed cost adjustments on investment properties,property and equipment and inventories sold under Income Tax Holiday (ITH) projects istransferred to retained earnings upon realization while the deferred income tax liability on deemedcost adjustments on inventories sold under regular tax regime is transferred to consolidatedstatement of income upon sale.
Treasury StockTreasury stock is the Group’s own equity instruments that has been issued and then reacquired butnot yet cancelled. Treasury stock are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain orloss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income on the purchase, sale, issue orcancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amountand the consideration, if reissued, is recognized as additional paid-in capital.
Dividend DistributionsCash dividends on common shares are deducted from retained earnings upon declaration by theBOD.
Stock dividends on common shares are measured based on the total par value of declared stockdividend. Stock dividends are deducted from retained earnings when the BOD’s declaration isratified by the stockholders of the Group. Unissued stock dividend are recorded as stockdividends distributable and credited to capital stock upon issuance.

Dividends for the year that are declared after the end of the reporting period but before theapproval for issuance of consolidated financial statements are dealt with as an event after thereporting period.
Revenue and Costs RecognitionRevenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theGroup and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair valueof the consideration received or receivable excluding VAT. The Group assesses its revenuearrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. TheGroup has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. Thefollowing specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sales of real estate propertiesIn accordance with Philippine Interpretations Committee, Q&A 2006-01, the percentage-of-completion (POC) method is used to recognize income from sales of condominium units andresidential houses where the Group has material obligations under the sales contract to completethe project after the property is sold, the equitable interest has been transferred to the buyer,construction is beyond preliminary stage (i.e., engineering, design work, construction contractsexecution, site clearance and preparation, excavation and the building foundation are finished),and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. Under this method, revenue onsale is recognized as the related obligations are fulfilled, measured principally on the basis of theestimated completion of a physical proportion of the contract work.
Revenue from sale of completed residential lots and housing units, where a sufficient downpayment has been received, the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, the refundperiod has expired, the receivables are not subordinated and the seller is not obliged to completeimprovements, is accounted for under the full accrual method.
If the criteria of full accrual and POC method are not satisfied and when the license to sell andcertificate of registration for a project are not yet issued by the Housing and Land Use RegulatoryBoard (HLURB), any cash received by the Group is recognized as deposits and included under“Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheet until all the conditionsfor recognizing the sale are met.
Costs of real estate salesCost of real estate sales is recognized consistent with the revenue recognition method applied.Cost of subdivision land and condominium units sold before the completion of the development isdetermined on the basis of the acquisition cost of the land plus estimated costs to complete thedevelopment of the property. The estimated expenditures for the development of sold real estateproperty, as determined by independent project engineers, are charged to “Cost of real estatesales” in the consolidated statement of income with a corresponding credit to accrued developmentcosts account presented under “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidatedbalance sheet.
The cost of inventory recognized in profit or loss on disposal (cost of real estate sales) isdetermined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property, allocated to saleable areabased on relative size and takes into account the POC used for revenue recognition purposes.
Any changes in estimated development costs used in the determination of the amount of revenueand expenses are recognized in consolidated statement of income in the period in which thechange is made and in subsequent periods.

*SGVFS008696*
Sale of undeveloped landRevenue from sale of undeveloped land is recognized using the full accrual method. Under the fullaccrual method, revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership on theundeveloped land have passed to the buyer and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Sales of pre-need plansPremiums from sale of pre-need plans, included under “Other income” account in the consolidatedstatement of income are recognized as earned when collected.
Cost of sales of pre-need plansCost of contracts issued included under “Operating expenses” account in the consolidatedstatement of income, pertains to (a) the increase in pre-need reserves as at the current year ascompared to the provision for the same period of the previous year. If there is a decrease in thepre-need reserves as a result of new information or new developments, the amount shall bededucted from the cost of contracts issued of the current period. In case of material prior perioderrors, the requirements of PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates andErrors, shall be complied with by the pre-need company; (b) amount of trust funds contributedduring the year; and (c) documentary stamp taxes and SEC registration fees.
Interest incomeInterest income from cash in banks, cash equivalents, short-term cash investments and installmentcontracts receivables is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield oninterest.
Dividend incomeDividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.
Trust Fund IncomeTrust fund income mainly pertains to rental income on investment properties under the trust fundaccount, as well as, trading gains and losses from buying and selling and changes in fair value offinancial assets and financial liabilities categorized upon initial recognition as at fair value throughprofit or loss investments under the trust fund account.
Unrealized re-measurement gain on investment propertiesThis pertains to changes in fair value of investment properties under the trust fund account.
Operating leases – Group as a lessorOperating leases represent those leases under which substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Rent income from operating leases isrecognized as income when earned on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement.Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to thecarrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the term on the same basis as rentalincome. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance ofthe arrangement at inception date whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on theuse of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessmentis 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;
- 17 -
*SGVFS008696*
(b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal orextension was initially included in the lease term;
(c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specifiedasset; or
(d) There is substantial change to the asset.
Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when thechange in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c), or (d) and at the dateof renewal or extension period for scenario (b).
Operating expensesOperating expenses constitute costs of administering the business. These costs are expensed asincurred.
Financial expensesFinancial expenses consist of interest incurred on notes and contracts payable. Interest attributableto a qualifying asset is capitalized as part of the cost of the asset while others are expensed asincurred.
Interest costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, development andconstruction of real estate projects as part of the cost of such projects. Capitalization of interestcost (1) commences when the activities to prepare the assets for their intended use are in progressand expenditures and interest costs are being incurred, (2) is suspended during extended periods inwhich active development is interrupted, and (3) ceases when substantially all the activitiesnecessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are complete. If the carrying amount of theasset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.
Other income and other expensesOther income and other expenses pertain to the gain or loss, respectively, arising from forfeiture orcancellation of prior years’ real estate sales.
Retirement Benefits CostsThe net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefitobligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets (if any),adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceilingis the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan orreductions in future contributions to the plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using theprojected unit credit method.
Defined benefit costs comprise the following:· Service cost· Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset· Re-measurements 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 recognizedwhen plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically byindependent qualified actuary.
- 18 -
*SGVFS008696*
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the netdefined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined byapplying the discount rate based on government 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 inconsolidated statement of income.
Re-measurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change inthe effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognizedimmediately in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income in the period in which theyarise. Re-measurements are not reclassified to consolidated statement of income in subsequentperiods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurancepolicies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly tothe Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market priceis available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flowsusing a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity orexpected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until thesettlement of the related obligations). If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset islimited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan orreductions in future contributions to the plan.
The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a definedbenefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only whenreimbursement is virtually certain.
Employee leave entitlementEmployee entitlements to annual leave are recognized as a liability when they are accrued to theemployees. The undiscounted liability for leave expected to be settled after the end of the reportingperiod is recognized for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.Accumulating leave credits which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months fromthe reporting date are classified as noncurrent liabilities at its discounted amount.
Provisions and ContingenciesProvisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. When 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 whenthe reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in theconsolidated statement of income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting theeffective future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessmentof the time value of money and where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Wherediscounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as aninterest expense.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They aredisclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
- 19 -
*SGVFS008696*
remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosedwhen an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Income TaxesCurrent income taxCurrent income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at theamount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and the taxlaws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end ofreporting period.
Current income tax for current and prior periods shall, to the extent unpaid, be recognized as aliability under “Income tax payable” account in the consolidated balance sheet. If the amountalready paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those periods, theexcess shall be recognized as an asset under “Other current assets” account in the consolidatedbalance sheet.
Deferred income taxDeferred income tax is recognized on all temporary differences at the end of reporting periodbetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reportingpurposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, includingassets revaluations. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporarydifferences to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax assetsand deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized when it arises from the initial recognition ofan asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of thetransaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not provided on nontaxable temporary differences associatedwith investments in subsidiaries and affiliates.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each end of reporting period andreduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will beavailable to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferredincome tax assets are reassessed at each end of reporting period and are recognized to the extentthat it has become probable that sufficient future taxable profits will allow the deferred income taxasset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that areexpected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on taxrates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity andthose directly in comprehensive income such as re-measurement of defined benefit plan arerecognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and not in the consolidatedstatement of income.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceableright exists to offset current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxesrelate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

*SGVFS008696*
Other Comprehensive IncomeOther comprehensive income comprises items of income and expense that are not recognized inthe consolidated statement of income in accordance with PFRS. Other comprehensive income ofthe Group includes gains and losses on fair value changes of available-for-sale financial assets,re-measurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change inthe effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability).
Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the year attributable to equityholders of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued andoutstanding after considering the retroactive effect, if any, of stock dividends declared during theyear.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable toequity holders of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of ordinary sharesoutstanding during the year, excluding treasury shares and adjusted for the effects of all dilutivepotential common shares, if any. In determining both the basic and diluted earnings per share, theeffect of stock dividends, if any, is accounted for retrospectively.
Segment ReportingThe Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the natureof the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unitthat offers different products and serves different markets. Financial information on businesssegments is presented in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s asset-producing revenues are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical location). Therefore,geographical segment information is no longer presented.
Events After the Reporting PeriodPost year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the end ofreporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Postyear-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the consolidatedfinancial statements when material.
Future Changes in Accounting PoliciesThe Group will adopt the standards and interpretations enumerated below when these becomeeffective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Group does not expect the adoption of these changesin PFRS to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. The relevantdisclosures will be included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when thesebecome effective.
Standards Issued but not yet Effective
· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement (2010 version)PFRS 9 (2010 version) reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to theclassification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets tobe measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair valueoption (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within abusiness model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flowsand its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of

*SGVFS008696*
principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments aresubsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets aremeasured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (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 tochanges in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value ispresented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of theliability’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 havebeen carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and thecriteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect onthe classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have noimpact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.
PFRS 9 (2010 version) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.This mandatory adoption date was moved to January 1, 2018 when the final version ofPFRS 9 was adopted by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC). Suchadoption, however, is still for approval by the Board of Accountancy (BOA).
· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real EstateThis interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities thatundertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The interpretationrequires that revenue on construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion,except when such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage ofcompletion. Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials andwhere the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basiswill also be accounted for based on stage of completion. The SEC and the FRSC havedeferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by theInternational Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and an evaluation of the requirements ofthe final Revenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry iscompleted.
Effective in 2015
· PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments)The amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefitplans. Contributions that are set out in the formal terms of the plan shall be accounted for asreductions to current service costs if they are linked to service or as part of theremeasurements 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 costupon payment of these contributions to the plans. The amendments to PAS 19 are to beretrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. It is notexpected that this amendment would be relevant to the Group since it does not have definedbenefit plan with contributions from employees or third parties.
· Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle)The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) are effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2015 and are not expected to have material impact on theGroup. They include:

o PFRS 2, Share-based Payment – Definition of Vesting ConditionThis improvement is applied prospectively and clarifies various issues relating to thedefinitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting conditions, including:
· A performance condition must contain a service condition;· A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service;· A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to
those of another entity in the same group;· A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition; and· If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the
vesting period, the service condition is not satisfied.
o PFRS 3, Business Combinations – Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a BusinessCombinationThe amendment is applied prospectively for business combinations for which theacquisition date is on or after July 1, 2014. It clarifies that a contingent consideration thatis not classified as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or losswhether or not it falls within the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognitionand Measurement (or PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, if early adopted). The Group shallconsider this amendment for future business combinations.
o PFRS 8, Operating Segments – Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation ofthe Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s AssetsThe amendments are applied retrospectively and clarify that:
· An entity must disclose the judgments made by management in applying theaggregation criteria in the standard, including a brief description of operatingsegments that have been aggregated and the economic characteristics (e.g., sales andgross margins) used to assess whether the segments are “similar.”
· The reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed ifthe reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to therequired disclosure for segment liabilities.
o PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38, Intangible Assets – RevaluationMethod – Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Depreciation and AmortizationThe amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that theasset may be revalued by reference to the observable data on either the gross or the netcarrying amount. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is thedifference between the gross and carrying amounts of the asset.
o PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures – Key Management PersonnelThe amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity, which isan entity that provides key management personnel services, is a related party subject to therelated party disclosures.

· Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle)The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle) are effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2015 and are not expected to have a material impact on theGroup. They include:
o PFRS 3, Business Combinations – Scope Exceptions for Joint ArrangementsThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies the following regarding the scopeexceptions within PFRS 3:
· Joint arrangements, not just joint ventures, are outside the scope of PFRS 3;· This scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the
joint arrangement itself.
o PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement – Portfolio ExceptionThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that the portfolio exception in PFRS13 can be applied not only to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to othercontracts within the scope of PAS 39.
o PAS 40, Investment PropertyThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that PFRS 3, and not the descriptionof ancillary services in PAS 40, is used to determine if the transaction is the purchase ofan asset or business combination. The description of ancillary services in PAS 40 onlydifferentiates between investment property and owner-occupied property.
Effective in 2016
· PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38, Intangible Assets – Clarification ofAcceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (Amendments)The amendments clarify the principle in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern ofeconomic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part)rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, arevenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and mayonly be used in very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets. The amendments areeffective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlyadoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Groupgiven that the Group has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its noncurrent assets.
· PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 41, Agriculture – Bearer Plants(Amendments)The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet thedefinition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition ofbearer plants will no longer be within the scope of PAS 41. Instead, PAS 16 will apply. Afterinitial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under PAS 16 at accumulated cost (beforematurity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). Theamendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope ofPAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearerplants, PAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance,will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods beginning on orafter January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected tohave any impact to the Group as it does not have any bearer plants.

· PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements(Amendments)The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments insubsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates in their separate financial statements. Entitiesalready applying PFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate financialstatements will have to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of PFRSelecting to use the equity method in its separate financial statements, they will be required toapply this method from the date of transition to PFRS. The amendments are effective forannual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Theseamendments will not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
· PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 28, Investments in Associates and JointVentures – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or JointVentureThese amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements inPFRS 10 and those in PAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets betweenan investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that a full gain or loss isrecognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary ornot). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do notconstitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. These amendments areeffective from annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. These amendments willnot have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
· PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations(Amendments)The amendments to PFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of aninterest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a businessmust apply the relevant PFRS 3 principles for business combinations accounting. Theamendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasuredon the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control isretained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to PFRS 11 to specify that theamendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity,are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party.
The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and theacquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectivelyeffective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoptionpermitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Group.
· PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral AccountsPFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject torate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatorydeferral account balances upon its first-time adoption of PFRS. Entities that adopt PFRS 14must present the regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement offinancial position and present movements in these account balances as separate line items inthe statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The standard requiresdisclosures on the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s rate-regulation and theeffects of that rate-regulation on its financial statements. PFRS 14 is effective for annualperiods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Since the Group is an existing PFRS preparer,this standard would not apply.

· Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2012-2014 cycle)The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2012-2014 cycle) are effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2016 and are not expected to have a material impact on theGroup. They include:
o PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations – Changes inMethods of DisposalThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that changing from a disposalthrough sale to a disposal through distribution to owners and vice-versa should not beconsidered to be a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan.There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the requirements in PFRS 5. Theamendment also clarifies that changing the disposal method does not change the date ofclassification.
o PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Servicing ContractsPFRS 7 requires an entity to provide disclosures for any continuing involvement in atransferred asset that is derecognized in its entirety. The amendment clarifies that aservicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financialasset. An entity must assess the nature of the fee and arrangement against the guidance inPFRS 7 in order to assess whether the disclosures are required. The amendment is to beapplied such that the assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuinginvolvement will need to be done retrospectively. However, comparative disclosures arenot required to be provided for any period beginning before the annual period in which theentity first applies the amendments.
o PFRS 7, Applicability of the Amendments to PFRS 7 to Condensed Interim FinancialStatementsThis amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that the disclosures on offsettingof financial assets and financial liabilities are not required in the condensed interimfinancial report unless they provide a significant update to the information reported in themost recent annual report.
o PAS 19, Employee Benefits – regional market issue regarding discount rateThis amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that market depth of high qualitycorporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated,rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market forhigh quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used.
o PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting – disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interimfinancial report’The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that the required interimdisclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included withinthe greater interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report).

· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments – Hedge Accounting and amendments to PFRS 9, PFRS 7 andPAS 39 (2013 version)PFRS 9 (2013 version) already includes the third phase of the project to replace PAS 39 whichpertains to hedge accounting. This version of PFRS 9 replaces the rules-based hedgeaccounting model of PAS 39 with a more principles-based approach. Changes include
- 26 -
*SGVFS008696*
replacing the rules-based hedge effectiveness test with an objectives-based test that focuses onthe economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and the effectof credit risk on that economic relationship; allowing risk components to be designated as thehedged item, not only for financial items but also for non-financial items, provided that therisk component is separately identifiable and reliably measurable; and allowing the time valueof an option, the forward element of a forward contract and any foreign currency basis spreadto be excluded from the designation of a derivative instrument as the hedging instrument andaccounted for as costs of hedging. PFRS 9 also requires more extensive disclosures for hedgeaccounting.
PFRS 9 (2013 version) has no mandatory effective date. The mandatory effective date ofJanuary 1, 2018 was eventually set when the final version of PFRS 9 was adopted by theFRSC. The adoption of the final version of PFRS 9, however, is still for approval by the BOA.
Management is still assessing the impact of the adoption of PFRS 9 in the consolidatedfinancial statements.
· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014 or final version)In July 2014, the final version of PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was issued. PFRS 9 reflectsall phases of the financial instruments project and replaces PAS 39, Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement, and all previous versions of PFRS 9. The standard introducesnew requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting.PFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlyapplication permitted. Retrospective application is required, but comparative information isnot compulsory. Early application of previous versions of PFRS 9 is permitted if the date ofinitial application is before February 1, 2015.
Management is still assessing the impact of the adoption of PFRS 9 in the consolidatedfinancial statements.
Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the FRSC
· IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with CustomersIFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply torevenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at anamount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange fortransferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a morestructured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue. The new revenue standard isapplicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements underIFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Grouop is currentlyassessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effectivedate once adopted locally.
3. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments,estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financialstatements and accompanying notes.
- 27 -
*SGVFS008696*
In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustmentsnecessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. Actual results could differ fromsuch estimates.
JudgmentsIn the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the followingjudgments, apart from those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on theamounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Determination of the Parent Company’s functional currencyThe Group, based on the relevant economic substance of the underlying circumstances, hasdetermined its functional currency to be Peso. It is the currency that influences the Group’s sale ofreal estate properties and the cost of selling the same.
Revenue recognitionSelecting the appropriate revenue recognition method for particular real estate transaction requirescertain judgments based on the following, among others:
· Collectability of sales priceCollectability of the sales price is demonstrated by the buyer’s commitment to pay, which inturn, is supported by substantial initial and continuing investments that gives the buyer a stakein the property sufficient that risk of loss through default motivates the buyer to honor hisobligation. Collectability is also assessed by considering factors such as the credit standing ofthe buyer, age, and location of the property.
For sale of real estate properties, in determining whether the sales prices are collectible, theGroup considers that initial and continuing investments by the buyer of about 10% woulddemonstrate the buyer’s commitment to pay.
· Stage of completion of the projectThe Group commences the recognition of revenue from sale of uncompleted projects wherethe POC method is used when the POC, as determined by independent project engineers,ranges from 5% to 10%. It is the period when the Group considers that the construction isbeyond preliminary stage (i.e., engineering, design work, construction contracts execution, siteclearance and preparation, excavation and the building foundation are finished).
Classification of financial instrumentsThe Group classifies a financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition as afinancial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of thecontractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability or an equityinstrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather than its legal form, governs itsclassification in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet (see Note 26).
The Group determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate,and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.
Operating lease commitments – Group as lessorThe Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. TheGroup has determined that it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of theproperties as the Group considered, among others, the length of the lease term as compared withthe estimated life of the assets.
- 28 -
*SGVFS008696*
A number of the Group’s operating lease contracts are accounted for as noncancellable operatingleases and the rest are cancellable. In determining whether a lease contract is cancellable or not,the Group considers among others, the significance of the penalty, including the economicconsequence to the lessee.
Distinction between investment properties and owner-occupied propertiesThe Group determines whether a property qualifies as investment property. In making itsjudgment, the Group considers whether the property generates cash flows largely independent ofthe other assets held by an entity. Owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that areattributable not only to property but also to the other assets used for administrative purposes.
Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation andanother portion that is held for use for administrative purposes. If these portions cannot be soldseparately at the reporting date, the property is accounted for as investment property only if aninsignificant portion is held for use for administrative purposes. Judgment is applied indetermining whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify asinvestment property. The Group considers each property separately in making its judgment.
Investment properties amounted to P=2,940.48 million as of December 31, 2014and P=2,688.71 million as of December 31, 2013 (see Note 10). Property and equipmentamounted to P=18.34 million as of December 31, 2014 and P=26.67 million as ofDecember 31, 2013 (see Note 11).
Distinction between real estate properties for sale and investment propertiesThe Group determines whether a property is classified as for sale, for lease and for capitalappreciation.
Real estate properties which the Group develops and intends to sell before or on completion ofconstruction are classified as real estate properties for sale. Real estate properties for saleamounted to P=2,875.01 million and P=3,121.46 million as of December 31, 2014and 2013, respectively (see Note 8). Real estate properties which are not occupied substantially foruse by, or in the operations of the Group, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but areheld primarily to earn rental income and capital appreciation are classified as investmentproperties. Investment properties amounted to P=2,940.48 million and P=2,688.71 million as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 10).
Distinction between real estate properties for sale and held for future developmentThe Group determines whether a property will be classified as real estate properties for sale orheld for future development. In making this judgment, the Group considers whether the propertywill be sold in the normal operating cycle (real estate properties for sale) or whether it will beretained as part of the Group’s strategic landbanking activities for development or sale in themedium or long-term (real estate properties held for future development). Real estate propertiesfor sale amounted to P=2,875.01 million and P=3,121.46 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,respectively (see Note 8). Real estate properties held for future development amountedto P=1,385.75 million and P=1,250.01 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively(see Note 9).

*SGVFS008696*
EstimatesThe key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at theend of reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Revenue and cost recognitionThe Group’s revenue recognition and cost policies require management to make use of estimatesand assumptions that may affect the reported amount of revenue and cost. The Group’s revenuefrom real estate properties based on the POC is measured principally on the basis of the estimatedcompletion of a physical proportion of the contract work.
Estimation of POC of projectsThe Group’s revenue recognition policies require management to make use of estimates andassumptions that may affect the reported amounts of revenue and cost. The Group estimates thepercentage of completion of ongoing projects for purposes of accounting for the estimated costs ofdevelopment as well as revenue to be recognized. Actual costs of development could differ fromthese estimates. Such estimates will be adjusted accordingly when the effects become reasonablydeterminable.
The POC is based on the technical evaluation of the independent project engineers as well asmanagement’s monitoring of the costs, progress and improvements of the projects. Gross profit onsales of real estate properties amounted to P=994.21 million, P=988.77 million and P=758.29 millionin 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, the Group reversed the excess estimateddevelopment cost over actual costs of completed projects amounting to P=119.74 million whichwas recognized under “Other income” in the 2013 consolidated statement of income(see Note 22).
Determination of fair value of financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities, on initial recognition, are accounted for at fair value. Thefair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, on initial recognition, are normally thetransaction prices. In the case of those financial assets and financial liabilities that have no activemarkets, fair values are determined using an appropriate valuation technique. The fair values offinancial instruments are disclosed in Note 26.
Estimation of allowance for impairment of receivablesThe level of this allowance is evaluated by management based on past collection history and otherfactors which include, but are not limited to the length of the Group’s relationship with thecustomer, the customer’s payment behavior and known market factors that affect the collectabilityof the accounts. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, installment contracts receivable and otherreceivables aggregated to P=2,269.82 million and P=2,148.52 million, respectively. There was noimpairment of receivables in 2014, 2013 and 2012 (see Notes 6 and 7).
Impairment of available-for-sale financial assetsAn impairment issue arises when there is an objective evidence of impairment, which involvessignificant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates the financial health of theissuer, among others. The Group treats available-for-sale equity financial assets as impaired whenthere has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where otherobjective evidence of impairment exists. The Group treats ‘significant’ generally as 20% or moreof cost and ‘prolonged’ as greater than 12 months for quoted equity securities. In addition, theGroup evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and thefuture cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities.
- 30 -
*SGVFS008696*
Available-for-sale financial assets amounted to P=2.52 million and P=2.21 million as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 12).
Determination of net realizable value of real estate properties for sale and held for futuredevelopmentThe Group’s estimates of net realizable value of inventories are based on the most reliableevidence available at the time the estimates are made, or the amount that the inventories areexpected to be realized. These estimates consider the fluctuations of price or cost directly relatingto events occurring after the end of the reporting period to the extent that such events confirmconditions existing at the end of the period. A new assessment is made of net realizable value ineach subsequent period. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be writtendown below cost no longer exist or when there is a clear evidence of an increase in net realizablevalue because of changes in economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed sothat the new carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value. TheGroup’s real estate properties for sale and held for future development as of December 31, 2014and 2013 amounted to P=4,260.76 million and P=4,371.48 million, respectively (see Notes 8 and 9).
Estimation of useful lives of investment properties and property and equipmentThe Group estimates the useful lives of investment properties and property and equipment basedon the internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. Estimated lives ofinvestment properties and property and equipment are reviewed periodically and updated ifexpectations differ from previous estimates due to wear and tear, technical and commercialobsolescence and other limits on the use of the assets. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, netbook value of depreciable investment properties amounted to P=370.33 million andP=10.04 million, respectively (see Note 10). On the other hand, the carrying value of property andequipment amounted to P=18.34 million and P=26.67 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,respectively (see Note 11).
Determination of the fair value of investment propertiesThe Company discloses the fair values of its investment properties in accordance with PAS 40,Investment Properties, the Company engaged independent valuation specialist to assess fair valueas of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s investment properties consist of land andbuilding pertaining to commercial properties. These are valued by reference to sales of similar orsubstitute properties and other related market data had the investment properties been transacted inthe market. The significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value are the salesprice per square meter of similar or substitute property, location, size, shape of lot and the highestand best use. Another method used in determining the fair value of land properties is based on themarket data approach. The value of land is based on sales and listings of comparable propertyregistered within the vicinity. This requires adjustments of comparable property by reducingreasonable comparative sales and listings to a common denominator by adjusting the differencebetween the subject property and those actual sales and listings regarded as comparables. Thecomparison is premised on the factors of location; size and shape of the lot; time element andothers.

*SGVFS008696*
Impairment of investment properties and property and equipmentThe Group determines whether its investment properties and property and equipment are impairedwhen impairment indicators exist such as significant underperformance relative to expectedhistorical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economictrends. When an impairment indicator is noted, the Group makes an estimation of the value-in-useof the cash-generating units to which the assets belong. Estimating the value-in-use requires theGroup to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit andalso to choose an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cashflows. Net book value of investment properties as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted toP=2,940.48 million and P=2,688.71 million, respectively (see Note 10). On the other hand, the netbook value of property and equipment amounted to P=18.34 million and P=26.67 million as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 11).
Estimation of retirement benefits costThe cost of the defined benefit plan and the present value of the defined benefit obligation aredetermined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include thedetermination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pensionincreases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions arereviewed at each reporting date.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the PDEX PDST-R2 rates atvarious tenors, rates for intermediate durations were interpolated and the rates were then weightedby the expected benefits payments at those durations to arrive at the single weighted averagediscount rate.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality table in the Philippines. Future salaryincreases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about assumptions used aregiven in Note 23.
Net retirement benefits costs amounted to P=2.53 million, P=2.43 million and P=7.50 million in 2014,2013 and 2012, respectively. Retirement plan assets amounted to P=11.98 million andP=9.97 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 23).
Estimation of pre-need and other reservesPre-need reserve is set-up for all pre-need benefits guaranteed and payable by CPI as defined inthe pre-need plan contracts. The determination of pre-need reserves is based on the actuarialformula, methods and assumptions allowed by applicable SEC and IC circulars.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the principal assumptions used in determining the pre-needreserves were based on the IC Circular Letter No. 23-2012 dated November 28, 2012. Thetransitory discount interest rate used in the valuation of pre-need reserves should not exceed thelower of the attainable rates as certified by the Trustee of 4.84% and the IC rate of 8% in 2014 andlower of the attainable rates as certified by the Trustee of 5.81% and the IC rate of 8% in 2013.
- 32 -
*SGVFS008696*
The following are the assumptions used in the computation of pre-need reserves:
December 31, 2014:
a. Currently-Being-Paid Pension Plans - Actively Paying Plans
· Plans issued prior to 2006 and after - 4.84% discount rate (ROI rate) and nosurrender/lapse rates were used.
b. Currently-Being-Paid Pension Plans - Lapsed Plans
· Plans issued prior to 2006 and after - reserves equal the termination values (as originallycomputed) at the date of lapse and no reinstatement rate was assumed.
c. Fully paid plans - Availing and Not Yet Availing
· Plans with maturity dates in years 2012 and after - 4.84% discount rate (ROI rate) and nosurrender rates were assumed for fully paid plans.
December 31, 2013:
a. Currently-Being-Paid Pension Plans - Actively Paying Plans· Plans issued prior to 2006 and after - 5.81% discount rate (ROI rate) and no
surrender/lapse rates were used.
b. Currently-Being-Paid Pension Plans - Lapsed Plans
· Plans issued prior to 2006 and after - reserves equal the termination values (as originallycomputed) at the date of lapse and no reinstatement rate was assumed.
c. Fully paid plans - Availing and Not Yet Availing
· Plans with maturity dates in years 2012 and after - 5.81% discount rate (ROI rate) and nosurrender rates were assumed for fully paid plans.
December 31, 2012:
a. Currently-Being-Paid Pension Plans - Actively Paying Plans
· Plans issued prior to 2006 and after - 8% discount rate (IC rate) and no surrender/lapserates were used.
b. Currently-Being-Paid Pension Plans - Lapsed Plans
· Plans issued prior to 2006 and after - reserves equal the termination values (as originallycomputed) at the date of lapse and no reinstatement rate was assumed.
c. Fully paid plans - Availing and Not Yet Availing
- 33 -
*SGVFS008696*
· Plans with maturity dates in years 2012 and after - 8% discount rate (IC rate) and nosurrender rates were assumed for fully paid plans.
Management believes that the amount of pre-need reserves and other reserves recorded in thebooks closely reflect potential plan claims as of end of reporting period. As of December 31, 2014and 2013, pre-need reserve and other reserves amounted to P=55.01 million and P=52.63 million,respectively (see Note 5).
Recognition of deferred income tax assetsThe Group reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at the end of each reportingperiod and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable thatsufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of deferred income tax assetsto be utilized.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, deferred income tax assets amountedto P=13.56 million and P=19.74 million, respectively (see Note 24).
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Cash Investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of:
2014 2013Cash on hand and in banks P=33,991,698 P=20,543,381Cash equivalents 1,334,688,564 814,771,697
P=1,368,680,262 P=835,315,078
Cash in banks earn interest at the respective bank deposit rates. Cash equivalents are made forvarying periods of up to three months depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Groupand earn interest at the respective short-term investment rates.
Short-term cash investments amounting to P=1,461.21 million and P=2,265.61 million as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are placements in banks with maturities of more thanthree months to one year from dates of acquisition and earn interest at the prevailing market rates.
Interest income earned from cash in banks, cash equivalents and short-term cash investmentsamounted to P=46.53 million, P=87.71 million and P=128.65 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012,respectively (Note 20).
5. Investments in Trust Funds and Pre-need and Other Reserves
Investments in trust funds Pursuant to the provisions of the SEC Memorandum Circular No. 6, Guidelines on the
Management of the Trust Fund of Pre-Need Corporation (SEC Circular No. 4), the SEC requires,among others, that companies engaged in the sale of pre-need plans and similar contracts toplanholders set up a trust fund to guarantee the delivery of property or performance of service inthe future. Withdrawals from these trust funds are limited to, among others, payments of pensionplan benefits, bank charges and investment expenses in the operation of the trust funds,

*SGVFS008696*
termination value payable to plan holders, contributions to the trust funds of cancelled plans andfinal taxes on investment income of the trust funds.
In accordance with the SEC requirements, CPI has funds deposited with two local trusteebanks with net assets aggregating to P=38.11 million and P=36.51 million as of December 31, 2014and 2013, respectively, which are recorded under “Investments in trust funds” account in theconsolidated balance sheets.
The details of investments in trust funds as of December 31 are as follows:

P=1,686,723 P=2,061,040
Total contributions to the trust funds amounted to P=2.40 million and P=1.22 million in 2014 and2013, respectively.
Pre-need and other reservesDetails of pre-need and other reserves are as follows:
2014 2013Transitory pre-need reserves P=33,939,082 P=34,096,538Reserve for trust fund deficiency 19,756,197 17,083,018Pension bonus reserve 1,034,940 1,138,132Insurance premium reserve (Note 8) 275,360 307,713

P=1,686,723 2,061,040
In the opinion of management and the independent actuary, the CPI’s net contractual liabilitiesamounting to P=53.70 million and P=51.18 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is basedon the actuarial reports, closely reflect actual potential plan claims as of those dates.
In accordance with IC Circular Letter No. 23-2012 issued on November 28, 2012, the Groupcomputed for the transitory pre-need reserves which amounted to P=33.94 million andP=34.10 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If the resulting pre-need reserveis greater than the actual trust fund balance at the end of the year, the transitory pre-need reservesshall be computed in accordance with the schedule provided in the IC Circular Letter.
Although not required, in 2014 and 2013, the BOD has deemed it prudent and opted to set-up thedifference in net contractual liabilities and transitory pre-need reserve amounting P=19.76 million
- 35 -
*SGVFS008696*
and P=17.08 million under “Other reserves” account as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,respectively, which is to be funded for the next seven years.
The trust fund deficiency amounting to P=2.82 million and P=2.14 million in 2014 and 2013,respectively, should be placed in the trust fund within 60 days from April 30 following thevaluation date. The trust fund deficiency for the year represents the difference of pre-need reserveand trust fund investment, net of investment in trust funds allocated to pension bonus andunrealized gains.

26. Financial Instruments
Financial Risk Management Objectives and PoliciesThe Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, short-term cashinvestments and notes and contracts payable. The main purpose of these financial instruments isto finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s other financial instruments consist of financialassets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets, which are held forinvesting purposes. The Group has various other financial instruments such as installmentcontracts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes andcontracts payable, which arise directly from its operations.
It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Group’s policy that no trading infinancial instruments shall be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk,credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity risk. The BOD reviews and approves policies formanaging these risks and they are summarized as follows:
Market riskCash flow interest rate riskCash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financialinstrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to therisk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s short-term notes payable,all with repriced interest rates.
The Group’s policy in addressing volatility in interest rates includes maximizing the use ofoperating cash flows to be able to fulfill principal and interest obligations even in periods of risinginterest rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s income before income tax to areasonably possible change in interest rates based on forecasted and average movements ofinterest rates (with all other variables held constant):

Effect on Incomebefore Income Tax
December 31, 2014 -/+ 22 bps P=55,565,910December 31, 2013 -/+ 24 bps 68,839,273
There is no impact on the Group’s equity other than those already affecting income before incometax.
- 57 -
*SGVFS008696*
Equity price riskEquity price risk is the risk that the fair values of investments in equity securities will decrease asa result of changes in the market value of individual shares of stock. The Group is exposed toequity price risk because of investments held by the Group classified as available-for-salefinancial assets included under “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. The Groupemploys the service of a third-party stockbroker to manage its investments in shares of stock.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity analysis of the Group’s equity to a reasonablypossible change in equity price based on forecasted and average movements of the equity prices(with all other variables held constant):
Change in equity price Effect on equity2014 P=+/-0.05 P=126,0292013 +/-0.05 109,111
Credit riskThe Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. Credit risk arises when theGroup will incur a loss because its customers, clients or counterparties failed to discharge theirobligations. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms aresubject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on anon-going basis with the objective that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. TheGroup’s policy is to enter into transactions with a diversity of creditworthy parties to mitigate anysignificant concentration of credit risk. There are no significant concentrations of credit riskwithin the Group.
The tables below show the Group’s exposure to credit risk for the components of the consolidatedbalance sheets. The exposure as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is shown at gross, before takingthe effect of mitigation through the use of collateral agreements and credit enhancements, and atnet, after taking the effect of mitigation through the use of collateral agreements and creditenhancements.

The main considerations for impairment assessment include whether any payments are overdue orif there are any known difficulties in the cash flows of the counterparties. The Group assessesimpairment into two areas: individually assessed allowances and collectively assessed allowances.
The Group determines allowance for each significant receivable on an individual basis. Amongthe factors that the Group considers in assessing impairment is the inability to collect from thecounterparty based on the contractual terms of the receivables. The Group also considers the fair
- 60 -
*SGVFS008696*
value of the real estate collateralized in computing the impairment of the receivables. Receivablesincluded in the specific assessment are those receivables under the installment contracts receivableaccounts.
For collective assessment, allowances are assessed for receivables that are not individuallysignificant and for individually significant receivables where there is no objective evidence ofindividual impairment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the age ofthe receivables, past collection experience and other factors that may affect collectability.
No impairment has been recognized because the Group holds the title to the real estate propertieswith outstanding installment contracts receivable balance, and the Group can repossess such realestate properties upon default of the customer in paying the outstanding balance.
Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group would not be able to settle or meet itsobligations on time or at a reasonable price.
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibilitythrough the use of STCPs (see Note 14).

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term cash investments, installment contracts receivable, otherreceivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and contracts payableDue to the short-term nature of the transactions, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents,short-term cash investments, other receivables and accounts payable and accrued expensesapproximate their carrying amounts. The fair value of installment contracts receivableapproximate its carrying amount as it carries interest rates that approximate the interest rate forcomparable instruments in the market.
Financial assets at FVPL and available-for-sale financial assetsFinancial assets at FVPL and available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value based onquoted market prices.
Repossessed real estate properties for saleThe fair value of repossessed real estate properties for sale is based on the Group’s current sellingprice per area/slot of the property.
Investment propertiesThe fair value of investment properties is determined using sales comparison and market dataapproach. Sales comparison approach considers the sales of similar or substitute properties andother related market data had the investment properties been transacted in the market. Whilemarket data approach considers the sales and listings and other market data of comparableproperties registered within the vicinity of the property being valued. The significant unobservableinputs used in determining the fair value are the sales price per square meter of similar orsubstitute property, location, size, shape of lot and the highest and best use. The fair value of theinvestment properties as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 approximates and represents the highestand best use of the said properties.
