The exception to consolidation requiresinvestment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. Theamendments must be applied retrospectively, subject to certain transition relief. Theseamendments have no impact to the Company since it does not have investment that would qualifyas investment entities.

PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and FinancialLiabilities (Amendments)These amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off’ andthe criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify foroffsetting and are applied retrospectively.

Retrospective application is required for IFRIC 21. Theinterpretation will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements as it has applied therecognition principles under PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,consistent with the requirements of IFRIC 21 in prior years.

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

Amendment to PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement ofAccumulated AmortizationThe amendments clarify that, upon revaluation of an intangible asset, the carrying amount of theasset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the followingways:

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

*SGVFS009402*

b. The accumulated amortization is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

The amendments also clarify that the amount of the adjustment of the accumulated amortizationshould form part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount accounted for in accordancewith the standard. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1,2014.

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) ratherthan the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used invery limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets. The amendments are effective

PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 41, Agriculture - Bearer Plants (Amendments)The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the definitionof bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plantswill no longer be within the scope of PAS 41. Instead, PAS 16 will apply. After initial recognition,bearer plants will be measured under PAS 16 at accumulated cost (before maturity) and usingeither the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). The amendments also require thatproduce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of PAS 41 and is measured at fairvalue less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearer plants, PAS 20, Accounting forGovernment Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, will apply. The amendments areretrospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlyadoption permitted. These amendments will not have an impact to the Company since theCompany is not involved in any agricultural activities.

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. Entities alreadyapplying PFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate financial statements willhave to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of PFRS electing to use theequity method in its separate financial statements, they will be required to apply this method fromthe date of transition to PFRS. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on orafter January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of amendments did not haveany impact on the Company’s financial position and performance since the Company does nothave interest in other entities.

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 Joint VentureThese amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in PFRS 10and those in PAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investorand its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that a full gain or loss is recognizedwhen a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gainor loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even ifthese assets are housed in a subsidiary. These amendments are effective from annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2016. These amendments will not have an impact on theCompany’s financial statements since the Company has no investment in associates or jointventures.

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 business mustapply the relevant PFRS 3 principles for business combinations accounting. The amendments alsoclarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured on the acquisition of anadditional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is retained. In addition, scopeexclusion has been added to PFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when theparties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the sameultimate controlling party.

*SGVFS009402*

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 prospectively effectivefor annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Theseamendments will have no impact to the Company since the Company is not expected to enter intoany joint arrangements.

PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral AccountsPFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject to rate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatory deferralaccount balances upon its first-time adoption of PFRS. Entities that adopt PFRS 14 must presentthe regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement of financial position andpresent movements in these account balances as separate line items in the statement of profit orloss and OCI. The standard requires disclosures on the nature of, and risks associated with, theentity’s rate-regulation and the effects of that rate-regulation on its financial statements. PFRS 14is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The amendment will nothave an impact on the Company’s financial statements since the Company is an existing PFRSpreparer and has no activities subject to rate regulation.


PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations - Changes in Methods ofDisposalThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that changing from a disposal through saleto a disposal through distribution to owners and vice-versa should not be considered to be a newplan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruptionof the application of the requirements in PFRS 5. The amendment will not have an impact on theCompany’s financial statements since the Company does not have non-current assets held for salenor any discontinued operations.

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Servicing ContractsPFRS 7 requires an entity to provide disclosures for any continuing involvement in a transferredasset that is derecognized in its entirety. The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract thatincludes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assessthe nature of the fee and arrangement against the guidance in PFRS 7 in order to assess whetherthe disclosures are required. The amendment is to be applied such that the assessment of whichservicing contracts constitute continuing involvement will need to be done retrospectively. Theamendment will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statement since the Companydoes not offer servicing contracts that involves continuing involvement in a derecognizedfinancial asset.

PFRS 7 - Applicability of the Amendments to PFRS 7 to Condensed Interim Financial StatementsThis amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that the disclosures on offsetting offinancial assets and financial liabilities are not required in the condensed interim financial reportunless they provide a significant update to the information reported in the most recent annualreport.

PAS 19, Employee Benefits - regional market issue regarding discount rateThis amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that market depth of high quality corporatebonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than thecountry where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for high quality corporatebonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used. The amendments will not have animpact on the Company’s financial statements since the Company does not have defined benefitplans.

PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interimfinancial report’The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that the required interim disclosures musteither be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between theinterim financial statements and wherever they are included within the greater interim financialreport (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The amendments will not have animpact on the Company’s financial statements since the Company is not required to prepareinterim financial statements.

Effective in 2018

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, FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measuredat fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) isnot invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model thathas the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual termsgive rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest onthe principal outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through othercomprehensive income (OCI) or profit or loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must bemeasured at fair value through profit or loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in thefair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. Theremainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fairvalue change in respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accountingmismatch in profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements forfinancial liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivativeseparation rules and the criteria for using the FVO.

PFRS 9 (2010 version) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Thismandatory adoption date was moved to January 1, 2018 when the final version of PFRS 9 wasadopted by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC). Such adoption,however, is still for approval by the Board of Accountancy (BOA).

The adoption of PFRS 9 (2010 version) will have an impact on the classification andmeasurement of the Company’s equity and debt securities but will have no impact on theclassification and measurement of its financial liabilities.

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 hedge accountingmodel of PAS 39 with a more principles-based approach. Changes include replacing the rules-

- 9 -

*SGVFS009402*

based hedge effectiveness test with an objectives-based test that focuses on the economicrelationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and the effect of credit risk onthat economic relationship; allowing risk components to be designated as the hedged item, notonly for financial items but also for non-financial items, provided that the risk component isseparately identifiable and reliably measurable; and allowing the time value of an option, theforward element of a forward contract and any foreign currency basis spread to be excluded fromthe designation of a derivative instrument as the hedging instrument and accounted for as costs ofhedging. PFRS 9 also requires more extensive disclosures for hedge accounting.

PFRS 9 (2013 version) has no mandatory effective date. The mandatory effective date of January1, 2018 was eventually set when the final version of PFRS 9 was adopted by the FRSC. Theadoption of the final version of PFRS 9, however, is still for approval by the BOA.

The amendments will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements since theCompany is not involved in any hedging transactions.

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014 or final version)In July 2014, the final version of PFRS 9 was issued. PFRS 9 reflects all phases of the financialinstruments project and replaces PAS 39 and all previous versions of PFRS 9. The standardintroduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedgeaccounting. PFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, withearly application 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.

The adoption of the final version of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification andmeasurement of the Company’s financial assets but will have no impact on the classification andmeasurement of its financial liabilities. In addition, PFRS 9 will also have no impact on theCompany’s financial statements in relation to hedge accounting since the Company is notinvolved in any hedging transactions.

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, exceptwhen such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11,Construction Contracts or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognizedbased on stage of completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the constructionmaterials and where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuousbasis will 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 of thefinal Revenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed.Adoption of the interpretation will not have any impact on the financial statements of theCompany since it is not involved in the construction of real estate.

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersIFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenuearising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount thatreflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring

*SGVFS009402*

goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach tomeasuring and recognizing revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities andwill supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modifiedretrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 withearly adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans toadopt the new standard on the required effective date once adopted locally.

Use of Estimates, Assumptions and JudgmentsThe preparation of the financial statements necessitates the use of estimates, assumptions andjudgments. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilitiesand contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period as well as affecting the reported incomeand expenses for the year. Although the estimates are based on management’s best knowledgeand judgment of current facts as at the end of the reporting period, the actual outcome may differfrom these estimates, possibly significantly. For further information on critical accountingestimates and judgments, refer to Note 3.

Foreign Currency TranslationTransactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at thedate of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies areretranslated using the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency aretranslated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction and are not subsequentlyrestated. All foreign exchange differences are taken to profit or loss, except where it relates toequity securities where gains or losses are recognized directly in OCI, the gain or loss is thenrecognized net of the exchange component in OCI.

Product ClassificationInsurance contracts are those contracts when the Company (the insurer) has accepted significantinsurance risk from another party (the policyholders) by agreeing to compensate the policyholdersif a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholders. As ageneral guideline, the Company determines whether it has significant insurance risk, by comparingbenefits paid with benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. Insurance contracts can alsotransfer financial risk.

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract forthe remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period,unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Investment contracts can, however, bereclassified as insurance contracts after inception if insurance risk becomes significant.

Insurance contracts are further classified as being either with or without discretionary participationfeature (DPF). DPF is a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits,additional benefits that are (a) likely to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits,(b) whose amount or timing is contractually at the discretion of the issuer, and (c) that arecontractually based on the performance of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type ofcontract, (ii) realized and/or unrealized investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by theissuer, or (iii) the profit or loss of the Company, fund or other entity that issues the contract.

Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer significant financial risk. Financial risk is therisk of a possible future change in one or more of a specified interest rate, security price,commodity price, foreign currency exchange rate, index of price or rates, a credit rating or creditindex or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is notspecific to a party to the contract.

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 placement and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change invalue and are free of any encumbrances.

Insurance ReceivablesInsurance receivables are recognized when due and measured on initial recognition at the fairvalue of the consideration received or receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, insurancereceivables are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. The carryingvalue of insurance receivables is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstancesindicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded inprofit or loss. Insurance receivables are derecognized following the derecognition criteria offinancial assets.

Financial InstrumentsDate of recognition

Financial instruments are recognized in the statement of financial position when the Companybecomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases or sales of financialassets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or conventionin the marketplace are recognized on the trade date.

Initial recognitionFinancial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Except for financial instruments atFVPL, the initial measurement of financial assets includes transaction costs. Financial assets areclassified as in four categories: financial asset at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity(HTM) investments and AFS financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose forwhich the investments were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market.Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, whereallowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have financial liabilities at FVPL.

Day 1 profit or lossWhere the transaction price in a non-active market is different to 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 Company recognizes the differencebetween the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ profit or loss) in profit or loss unless itqualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where use is made of data which isnot observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized inprofit or loss when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. Foreach transaction, the Company determines the appropriate method of recognizing the ‘Day 1’profit or loss amount.

*SGVFS009402*

Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPLThis category consists of financial assets or financial liabilities that are held-for-trading ordesignated by management as at FVPL on initial recognition. The financial assets designated as atFVPL pertains to variable unit-linked investments.

Financial assets or financial liabilities designated by management as at FVPL are designated assuch on initial recognition when any of the following criteria are met:

· The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that wouldotherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on themon a different basis;

· The assets or liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities, or both,which are managed and whose performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordancewith a documented risk management strategy; or

· The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivativedoes not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear that it would not be separated withlittle or no analysis.

The investments in equity, government securities, and other debt securities of the internalinvestment funds set up by the Company underlying the unit-linked insurance contracts aredesignated as financial assets at FVPL in accordance with the funds’ investment strategy.

AFS financial assetsAFS financial assets are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified asfinancial assets at FVPL, HTM investments or loans and receivables. They are purchased andheld indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in marketconditions.

After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Theeffective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of restatement on foreigncurrency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in profit or loss. Interest earned on holdingAFS financial assets is reported as interest income using the effective interest method. Dividendsearned on holding AFS financial assets are recognized in profit or loss under “Investment income”account when the right to receive payment has been established. The unrealized gains and lossesarising from the fair valuation of AFS financial assets are reported as “Revaluation reserve onAFS financial assets” in OCI. The losses arising from impairment of such investments arerecognized as “Provision for impairment losses” under “General and administrative expenses”account in profit or loss. When a security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previouslyrecognized in OCI is reported as “Gain on sale of AFS financial assets” in profit or loss.

When the fair value of AFS financial assets cannot be measured reliably because of lack ofreliable estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value ofunquoted equity instruments, these investments are carried at cost, less any allowance forimpairment loss.

The Company’s AFS financial assets consist of government securities, equity securities, andprivate debt instruments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (see Note 6).

*SGVFS009402*

HTM investmentsHTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable paymentsand fixed maturities for which management has the positive intention and ability to hold tomaturity. These investments are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of theconsideration paid for the acquisition of the investment. All transaction costs directly attributableto the acquisition are also included in the cost of HTM investments. After initial measurement,these financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate,less impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount orpremium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Theamortization is included under “Investment income” in the profit or loss. Gains and losses arerecognized in profit or loss when the HTM investments are derecognized or impaired, as well asthrough the amortization process. The losses arising from impairment of such investments, if any,are recognized in profit or loss as “Provision for impairment losses” under “General andadministrative expenses” in the profit or loss. The effects of restatement of foreign currency-denominated HTM investments are recognized in profit or loss. Where the Company sells otherthan an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted andreclassified as AFS financial assets and will be carried at fair value.

Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments andfixed maturities that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with theintention of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as financial assets held-for-trading, nor designated as AFS or at FVPL.

After initial measurement, the loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized costusing the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost iscalculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are anintegral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included under “Investment income - Interest income” in profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment of such loans andreceivables, if any, are recognized in “Provision for impairment losses” under “General andadministrative expenses” account in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables together with the associated allowance are written-off when there is norealistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if any, has been realized or has beentransferred to the Company. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in theprofit or loss.

This accounting policy relates to the statement of financial position captions: (a) Cash and cashequivalents, (b) Insurance receivables, (c) Loans and receivables, (d) Accrued income and (e)Refundable lease and other deposits included under “Other assets”.

Other financial liabilitiesIssued financial liabilities or their components, which are not designated as financial liabilities atFVPL are classified as other financial liabilities, where the substance of the contractualarrangement results in the Company having an obligation either to deliver cash or anotherfinancial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixedamount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. This includesinvestment contracts which mainly transfer financial risk and has no or insignificant insurancerisk.

After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized costusing the effective interest rate. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount

- 14 -

*SGVFS009402*

or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Any effectsof restatement of foreign currency-denominated liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

This accounting policy applies primarily to the following: (a) Premium deposit fund, (b) Insurancecontract liabilities, (c) Insurance payables and (d) Trade and other liabilities that meet the abovedefinition (other than liabilities covered by other accounting standards, such as pension liabilityand income tax payable).

Classification of Financial Instruments Between Debt and EquityA financial instrument is classified as debt if it has a contractual obligation to:· deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or· exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are

potentially unfavourable to the Company.

If the Company does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financialasset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability.

Financial instruments are classified as liability or equity in accordance with the substance of thecontractual agreement. Interests, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or acomponent that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holdersof financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any relatedincome tax benefits.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement

of financial position 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.

Impairment of Financial AssetsThe Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assetsis impaired.

A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there isobjective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after theinitial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on theestimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can bereliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group ofdebtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest orprincipal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financialreorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in theestimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate withdefaults.

AFS financial assets carried at fair valueFor AFS financial assets, the Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objectiveevidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

In the case of equity instruments classified as AFS financial assets, objective evidence wouldinclude a ‘significant or prolonged’ decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost.‘Significant’ is to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment and ‘prolonged’ againstthe period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of

- 15 -

*SGVFS009402*

impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and thecurrent fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the profitor loss - is removed from OCI and recognized in the profit or loss. Impairment losses on equityinvestments are not reversed through the profit or loss; increases in their fair value afterimpairment are recognized directly in OCI.

In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS, impairment is assessed based on the samecriteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded forimpairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and thecurrent fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the profitor loss.

Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the assetand is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose ofmeasuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of interest and otherincome. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase canbe objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the profitor loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of reversal recognized in the profitor loss.

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

Loans and receivablesFor loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the Company first assesses whether objectiveevidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, orcollectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Company determinesthat no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset,whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar creditrisk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Assets that are individually assessedfor impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are notincluded in a collective assessment for impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost has beenincurred, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carryingamount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding futureexpected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s originaleffective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring anyimpairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reducedthrough the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss.Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the rate ofinterest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.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 Company.If in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreasesbecause of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognizedimpairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account.

*SGVFS009402*

If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in profit or loss. Any subsequentreversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying valueof the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.

The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s originaleffective interest rate. Time value is generally not considered when the effect of discounting is notmaterial. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment lossis the current effective interest rate, adjusted for the original credit risk premium. The calculationof the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflectsthe cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral,whether or not foreclosure is probable.

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

Derecognition of Financial Assets and LiabilitiesFinancial assetsFinancial assets (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similarfinancial assets) are derecognized when:· the right to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;· the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an

obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’arrangement; or

· the Company has transferred its 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 Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered intoa ‘pass-through’ arrangement and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks andrewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of theCompany’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of aguarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of theasset and the maximum amount of the consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged,cancelled, or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from thesame lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantiallymodified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liabilityand the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts isrecognized in profit or loss.

Fair ValuesFair 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.

- 17 -

*SGVFS009402*

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company.

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.

Financial assetsThe fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the end of the reporting periodis based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (price between the bid and askspread), without any deduction for transaction costs. When current market prices are notavailable, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value aslong as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of thetransaction. For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value isdetermined by using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net presentvalue techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist,option pricing models, and other relevant valuation models.

Non-financial assetsA fair value measurement of a nonfinancial 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.

Fair value hierarchyThe Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value offinancial assets by valuation technique:

Level 1:quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesLevel 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair

value are observable, either directly or indirectlyLevel 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that

are not based on observable market data

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, theCompany determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy byre-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.

At each reporting date, management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilitieswhich are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. Forthis analysis, management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing theinformation in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents with relevantexternal sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets andliabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the levelof the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Policy LoansPolicy loans included under loans and receivables are carried at their unpaid balances plus accruedinterest and are fully secured by the policy values on which the loans are made.

*SGVFS009402*

ReinsuranceThe Company cedes insurance risk in the normal course of business. Reinsurance assetsrepresents balances due from reinsurance company for unpaid losses.Recoverable amounts areestimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision and are in accordance withthe reinsurance contract.

An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indicationof impairment arises during the reporting period. Impairment occurs when objective evidenceexists that the Company may not recover outstanding amounts under the terms of the contract andwhen the impact on the amounts that the Company will receive from the reinsurer can bemeasured reliably. The impairment loss is charged to profit or loss.

Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders.Premiums are presented on gross basis for ceded reinsurance.

Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies, which are included under“Insurance payables” in the statement of financial position. Amounts payable are estimated in amanner consistent with the associated reinsurance contract.

Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognized when the contractual right is extinguished, hasexpired, or when the contract is transferred to another party.

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, andany impairment in value.

The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price, including any directlyattributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, asappropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item willflow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs andmaintenance are charged to profit and loss in the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimateduseful lives of the related assets follow:

YearsEDP equipment 5Office equipment 5Motor vehicles 5

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life of 5 years or the term of thelease, whichever is shorter.

The assets’ residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization method arereviewed periodically to ensure that the period and method of depreciation and amortization areconsistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no further futureeconomic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognitionof the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying valueof the asset) is included in profit or loss in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

- 19 -

*SGVFS009402*

Intangible AssetsIntangible assets, consisting mainly of computer software licenses (not an integral part of itsrelated hardware), are capitalized at cost. These costs are amortized over their useful life of threeto five years. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized asexpense when incurred.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the differencebetween the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized inprofit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Other AssetsCreditable withholding taxes Creditable withholding taxes represent amounts withheld by the Company’s counterparties inrelation to the revenue earned. Subsequently, these amounts are applied against the Company’sincome tax due.

PrepaymentsPrepayments, including prepaid developmental fees, represent expenses not yet incurred butalready paid in cash. Prepayments are initially recorded as assets and measured at the amount ofcash paid. Subsequently, these are charged to profit or loss as these are consumed in operations orexpire with the passage of time depending on the terms of the related agreements, if covered by acontract

Impairment of Nonfinancial AssetsThe Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is thehigher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value inuse. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does notgenerate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset isconsidered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, theestimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate thatreflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, ifavailable. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Thesecalculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly tradedsubsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

An impairment loss is charged to operations in the year in which it arises, unless the asset iscarried at revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is charged to the revaluationincrement of the said asset.

For nonfinancial assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as towhether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer existor may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Apreviously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimatesused to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Ifthat is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. Thatincreased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net ofdepreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in priorperiods. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such reversal, the depreciation and

- 20 -

*SGVFS009402*

amortization expense is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount,less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life.

Insurance Contract LiabilitiesLife insurance contract liabilitiesLife insurance contract liabilities are recognized when the contracts are entered into and thepremiums are recognized. The provision for life insurance contracts is calculated on the basis of aprudent prospective actuarial valuation method where the assumptions used depend on thecircumstances prevailing at the inception of the contract. Assumptions and actuarial valuationmethods are also subject to the provisions of the Insurance Code (the Code) and guidelines set bythe IC. The movement in “Legal policy reserves” at each reporting period is recognized in profitor loss under “Gross change in legal policy reserves”.

Insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed termsThe liability is determined as the expected discounted value of the benefit payments less theexpected discounted value of the theoretical premiums that would be required to meet the benefitsbased on the valuation assumptions used. The liability is based on mortality, morbidity andinvestment income assumptions that are established at the time the contract is issued.

The Company has different assumptions for different products. However, the reserves arecomputed to comply with the statutory requirements, which require annual discount rates to be notmore than 6% and mortality rates based on a standard table of mortality approved by the IC.Reserves are computed per thousand of sum insured and depend on the plan, issue age and policyduration.

Variable unit-linked insurance contractsThe Company issues unit-linked insurance contracts. In addition to providing insurance coverage,a unit-linked contract links payments to units of an internal investment fund set up by theCompany with the consideration received from the policyholders. Premiums received from theissuance of unit-linked insurance contracts are recognized as premiums revenue. As allowed byPFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, the Company chose not to unbundle the investment portion of itsunit-linked products.

The reserve for unit-linked liability is increased by additional deposits and changes in unit pricesand is decreased by policy administration fees, mortality and surrender charges and anywithdrawals. At each reporting date, this reserve is computed on the basis of the number of unitsallocated to the policyholders multiplied by the unit price of the underlying investment funds. Theassets and liabilities underlying the internal investment funds have been consolidated with thegeneral accounts of the Company.

Liability adequacy testLiability adequacy tests are performed annually to ensure the adequacy of the insurance contractliabilities. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows, claimshandling and policy administration expenses are used. Any deficiency is immediately chargedagainst profit or loss initially by establishing a provision for losses arising from the liabilityadequacy tests.

Reserve for Policyholders’ DividendsDPF is a contractual right that gives policyholders the right to receive supplementary discretionaryreturns through participation in the surplus arising from participating business. These returns aresubject to the discretion of the Company and are within the constraints of the terms and conditionsof the contract. The obligations for all supplementary returns are recognized in “Reserve for

- 21 -

*SGVFS009402*

policyholders’ dividends” in the statement of financial position. The movement in the reserve forpolicyholders’ dividends is recognized in profit or loss under benefits and claims incurred oninsurance contracts.

Premium Deposit FundPremium deposit fund represents advance payments from policyholders provided that themaximum amount that may be held at any time in the fund should not exceed the total futurepremiums due under the insurance policy. In the case of a renewable policy, the maximumamount that may be held in the fund should not exceed the total premiums payable until its lastrenewal date. In no case shall a policyholder make any additional deposit to if the existing balancethereof is already equal or greater than the sum of all future premiums payable on his policy.Subject to the provisions of the contract, any excess premium shall be refunded to thepolicyholders only after their policies have been paid-up. These advance payments will becredited to premiums once due.

Retirement CostThe Company has a funded, noncontributory retirement plan, administered by a trustee, coveringits regular employees. Retirement cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit creditmethod. This method reflects service rendered by employees to the date of valuation andincorporates assumptions concerning employees’ projected salaries.

Defined retirement costs comprise of the following:

(a) Service costs(b) Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset(c) Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset

Service costs which include current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service cost is recognizedwhen plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically byindependent qualified actuaries.

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 interest expense or interestincome in profit or loss.

Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets (excluding netinterest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in OCI under “Actuarial gain ondefined benefit plan” in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not recycled to profitor loss in subsequent periods.

EquityCapital stockCapital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. When the shares are issued for aconsideration other than cash, the proceeds are measured by the fair value of the considerationreceived. In case the shares are issued to extinguish or settle the liability of the Company, theshares shall be measured either at the fair value of the shares issued or fair value of the liabilitysettled, whichever is more reliably determinable.

Contributed surplusThis represents the original contribution of the stockholders of the Company, in addition to thepaid-up capital stock, in order to comply with the pre-licensing requirement as provided under theCode.

Contingency surplusThis represents contributions of the stockholders to cover any deficiency in the Margin ofSolvency as required under the Code and can be withdrawn only upon the approval of IC.

Retained earningsRetained earnings represents net accumulated gains and losses of the Company less any dividendsdeclared and paid.

Other comprehensive incomeOther comprehensive income comprises of items of income and expense that are not recognized inprofit or loss for the year in accordance with PFRS. Other comprehensive income of the ParentCompany pertains to remeasurements comprising actuarial gain on defined benefit planassets. Other comprehensive income items that will be reclassified/ recycled to profit or loss inthe subsequent period are presented separately from those items that will not be reclassified/recycled subsequently.

Revenue RecognitionRevenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to theCompany and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteriamust also be met before revenue is recognized:

Premium incomePremiums from life insurance contracts are recognized as revenue when payable by thepolicyholders. For single premium business, revenue is recognized upon the effective date of thepolicy. For regular premium contracts, receivables are recorded at the date when payments aredue.

Investment income· Interest income is recognized in profit or loss as it accrues, taking into account the effective

yield of the asset. Interest income includes the amortization of any discount or premium orother differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest-bearing instrument and itsamount at maturity calculated using the effective interest method.

· Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.· Fair value gain or loss on FVPL financial assets is recognized upon remeasurement.

Other incomeOther income consists of network services and miscellaneous income. It is recognized in profit orloss as it accrues.

Benefits, Claims and Expenses RecognitionBenefits and claimsLife insurance benefits and claims include the cost of all claims arising during the year. Deathclaims and surrenders are recorded on the basis of notifications received. Maturities are recordedwhen due. Ceded reinsurance recoveries are accounted for in the same period as the underlyingclaim.

*SGVFS009402*

Commission expense and other underwriting expensesCommissions are recognized when the insurance contracts are entered and the premiums arerecognized.

General and administrative expensesGeneral and administrative expenses are recognized in profit or lossas incurred.

Insurance taxes and licensesInsurance taxes and licenses are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.Interest expenseInterest expense on accumulated policyholders’ dividends and premium deposit fund is recognizedin profit or loss as it accrues and is calculated using the effective interest method. Accrued interestis credited to the liability account at every policy anniversary date.

Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of

the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement isdependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use theasset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:

a. There is a change in contractual term, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;b. A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or

extension was initially included in the lease term;c. There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset;

ord. There is a 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 above, and at the dateof renewal or extension period for scenario b.

Company as a lessee Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are

classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in profit orloss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Minimum lease payments are recognized on astraight-line basis.

Income TaxIncome tax for the year consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax is determined inaccordance with Philippine tax laws. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to theextent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or OCI. Tax on these items isrecognized in equity or OCI.

Current taxCurrent tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amountexpected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws usedto compute this amount are those that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of thereporting date.

- 24 -

*SGVFS009402*

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

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, with certainexceptions. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences,carryforward of unused tax credits from excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) overthe regular corporate income tax and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extentthat it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the deductibletemporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess MCIT andNOLCO can be utilized.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to theperiod when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) thathave been enacted or substantively enacted as of end of the reporting period. Movements in thedeferred tax assets and liabilities arising from changes in the rates are charged or credited to profitor loss for the period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to setoff current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxableentity and the same taxation authority.

Value-added tax (VAT)Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax except:· Where the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from tax

authority, in which case the tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset oras a part of the expense item where it is applicable, and

· Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of tax included.

The net amount of the tax recoverable from or payable to the tax authority is included as part ofother assets or trade and other liabilities in the statement of financial position.

ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, and when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amountof the obligation.

ContingenciesContingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless thepossibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assetsare not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economicbenefits is probable.

Events after the Reporting DatePost year-end events that provide additional information about the Company’s financial position atend of the reporting period (adjusting event) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financialstatements.

3. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Company tomake judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income andexpenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occurwhich will cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of anychange in estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonablydeterminable.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience andother factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances.

JudgmentsIn the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made thefollowing judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significanteffect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements:

Functional currencyThe Company determined its functional currency to be the Philippine Peso. The determination offunctional currency was based on the primary economic environment in which the Companygenerates and expends cash.

Product classificationInsurance contracts are defined as those contracts under which the Company (the insurer) acceptssignificant insurance risk from another party (the policyholders) by agreeing to compensate thepolicyholders if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects thepolicyholder. As a general guideline, the Company defines significant insurance risk, bycomparing benefits paid with benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. Insurancecontracts can also transfer financial risk.

Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer significant financial risk and no significantinsurance risk. Financial risk is the risk of a possible future change in one or more of a specifiedinterest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of price orrates, credit rating or credit index or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variablethat the variable is not specific to a party to the contract.

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract forthe remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period,unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Investment contracts can, however, bereclassified as insurance contracts after inception if the insurance risk becomes significant.Insurance contracts are classified with and without a Discretionary Participation Feature (DPF).DPF is a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefitsthat are:

- 26 -

*SGVFS009402*

· likely to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits;· whose amount or timing is contractually at the discretion of the issuer; and· that are contractually based on the

- performance of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract,- realised and or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by the

issuer or- the profit or loss of the Company, fund or other entity that issues the contract.

For financial options and guarantees which are not closely related to the host insurance contract,bifurcation is required to measure these embedded financial derivatives separately at fair valuethrough profit or loss. Bifurcation is not required if the embedded derivative is itself an insurancecontract or when the host insurance contract itself is measured at FVPL. As such, the Companydoes not separately measure options to surrender insurance contracts for a fixed amount (or anamount based on a fixed amount and an interest rate). Likewise, the embedded derivative in unit-linked insurance contracts linking the payments on the contract to units of an internal investmentfund meets the definition of an insurance contract and is not therefore accounted for separatelyfrom the host insurance contract.

Operating leases - Company as lesseeThe Company has entered into property leases for its operations. The Company has determinedthat the lessor retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties whichare leased out on operating leases.

The future minimum rentals payable under non-cancellable operating leases amounted toP=30,951,025 and P=52,493,011 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Rent expenseamounted to P=24,911,227 and P=29,757,653 in 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 27).

EstimatesLegal policy reserves

Legal policy reserves represent estimates of present value of benefits in excess of present value ofpremium. These estimates are based on interest rates, mortality/morbidity tables, and valuationmethod as contained in the product submissions approved by the IC.

The liability for life insurance contracts are based on assumptions established at the inception ofthe contract. At each reporting date, these estimates are reassessed for adequacy and changes willbe reflected in adjustments to the liability. The main assumptions used relate to mortality,morbidity, investment return, and discount rate.

For life insurance contracts, estimates are made as to the expected number of deaths for each ofthe years in which the Company is exposed to risk. The Company uses the standard mortalitytables as accepted by the IC as the basis of these estimates. The estimated number of deaths,illness or injury determines the value of possible future benefits to be paid out, which will befactored into ensuring sufficient cover by reserves, which in return is monitored against currentand future premiums.

In accordance with the provisions of the Code, the annual interest rate used to discount futureliabilities should not exceed 6% as required by the Code. Likewise, no lapse, surrender andexpense assumptions are factored in the computation of the liability in accordance with the Code.

The carrying value of the legal policy reserves, shown as part of “Insurance contract liabilities”,amounted to P=11,978,233,370 and P=10,545,112,335 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,respectively (see Note 13).

- 27 -

*SGVFS009402*

The reserve for unit-linked liability is increased by additional deposits and changes in unit pricesand is decreased by policy administration fees, mortality and surrender charges and anywithdrawals. At each reporting date, this reserve is computed on the basis of the number of unitsallocated to the policyholders multiplied by the unit price of the underlying investment funds. Theassets and liabilities underlying the internal investment funds have been consolidated with thegeneral accounts of the Company.

Fair values of financial assetsThe Company carries certain financial assets at fair value, which requires extensive use ofaccounting estimates. Fair value determinations for financial assets and liabilities are basedgenerally on listed or quoted market prices. If prices are not readily determinable or if liquidatingthe positions is reasonably expected to affect market prices, fair value is based on either internalvaluation models or management’s estimate of amounts that could be realized under currentmarket conditions, assuming an orderly liquidation over a reasonable period of time. Whilesignificant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objectiveevidence (i.e., foreign exchange rates, interest rates, volatility rates), the amount of changes in fairvalue of these financial assets and liabilities would affect profit and loss and equity.

The carrying value of FVPL financial assets carried at fair value amounted to P=285,967,236 andP=50,487,593 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 6).

The carrying value of AFS financial assets carried at fair value amounted to P=14,106,446,607 andP=12,314,862,172 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 6).

Impairment of financial assetsThe Company treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant orprolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of impairmentexists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgment. TheCompany treats ‘significant’ generally as 20% or more and ‘prolonged’ greater than 12 months.In addition, the Company evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price forquoted equities and the future cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities.

Impairment may be appropriate also when there is evidence of deterioration in the financial healthof the investee, the industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational andfinancing cash flows.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of AFS financial assets amounted toP=14,106,446,607 and P=12,314,862,172, respectively (see Note 6). No provision for impairmentloss was recognized for 2014 and 2013 related to AFS financial assets.

The Company reviews its loans and receivables at each reporting date to assess whether anallowance for impairment should be recognized. In particular, judgment by management isrequired in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining thelevel of allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumptions on several factors andactual results may differ from these estimates, resulting in future changes to the allowance.

The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect thecollectability of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to the age of balances,financial status of counterparties, payment behavior and known market factors. The Companyreviews the age and status of receivables, and identifies accounts that are to be provided withallowance on a regular basis.

- 28 -

*SGVFS009402*

In addition to specific allowance against individually significant loans and receivables, theCompany also makes a collective impairment allowance against exposures which, although notspecifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than whenoriginally granted. This collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the internal rating ofthe loan or investment since it was granted or acquired. These internal ratings take intoconsideration factors such as any deterioration in country risk, industry, and technologicalobsolescence, as well as identified structural weaknesses or deterioration in cash flows.The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Company madedifferent judgments or utilized different estimates. An increase in allowance for impairment losseswould increase recorded expenses and decrease net income.

Provision for impairment losses amounted to P=14,373,023 and P=11,120,545 in 2014 and 2013,respectively (see Note 21).

Insurance receivables amounted to P=316,065,315 and P=307,253,435 as of December 31, 2014 and2013, respectively. There was an additional provision for impairment losses in insurancereceivables in 2014 amounting to P=8,345,800 (see Note 5).

Loans and receivables, net of allowance for impairment losses, amounted to P=284,322,128 andP=423,484,749 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Allowance for impairment losseson loans and receivables amounted to P=157,377,456 and P=144,365,392 as of December 31, 2014and 2013, respectively. There was no write-off of impairment losses and receivables in 2014.Additional provision for impairment in loans and receivable recognized in 2014 amounted toP=13,012,064 (see Note 6).

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assetsThe Company reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property and equipment andintangible assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. Itis possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in theseestimates. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangibleassets would increase recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease the relatedasset accounts.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying value of property and equipment amounted toP=82,221,641 and P=54,773,318, respectively (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2014 and 2013,the carrying value of intangible assets amounted to P=49,360,654 and P=25,371,459, respectively(see Note 11).

Impairment of nonfinancial assetsThe Company assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that theCompany considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

· significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operatingresults;

· significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overallbusiness; and

· significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds itsrecoverable amount. Recoverable amount is estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible,for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying value of property and equipment amounted toP=82,221,641 and P=54,773,318, respectively (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2014 and 2013,the carrying value of intangible assets amounted to P=49,360,654 and P=25,371,459, respectively(see Note 11). There was no provision for impairment losses in property and equipment andintangible assets recognized in 2014 and 2013.

Retirement benefitsThe cost of defined benefit pension plans and the present value of the pension obligation aredetermined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions. These include the determination of the discount rates, future salary increases,mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, theunderlying assumptions and its long-term nature, defined benefit obligations are highly sensitiveto changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The netpension asset as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to P=41,094,317 and P=34,536,401,respectively (see Note 23).

In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates ofgovernment bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, withextrapolated maturities corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific country and ismodified accordingly with estimates of mortality improvements. Future salary increases andpension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the specific country.

Further details about the assumptions used are provided in Note 23.

Recognition of deferred income tax assetsDeferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extentthat it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which these can be utilized.Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred income taxassets that can be recognized. These assets are periodically reviewed for realization. Periodicreviews cover the nature and amount of deferred income and expense items, expected timing whenassets will be used or liabilities will be required to be reported, reliability of historical profitabilityof businesses expected to provide future earnings and tax planning strategies which can be utilizedto increase the likelihood that tax assets will be realized. Please see Note 24 for the relatedbalances.

ContingenciesThe Company is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probablecosts for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with the legal counselsand based upon an analysis of potential results. The Company currently does not believe theseproceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. It ispossible, however, that the results of operations could be affected by changes in these estimates.

Key assumptionsMaterial judgment is required in determining the liabilities and in the choice of assumptionsrelating to insurance contracts. Assumptions in use are based on past experience, current internaldata and conditions and external market indices and benchmarks, which reflect current observablemarket prices and other published information. For policy reserves, such assumptions aredetermined as appropriate at inception of the contract and no credit is taken for possible beneficialeffects of voluntary withdrawals. Assumptions are further evaluated on a continuous basis inorder to ensure adequacy of valuations. Assumptions are subject to the provisions of the Code andguidelines set by the IC.

For insurance contracts, the Company determines the assumptions in relation to future deaths,illness or injury and investment returns at inception of the contract. Subsequently, new estimatesare developed at each reporting date and statutory liabilities are tested to determine whether suchliabilities are adequate in light of the latest estimates. The initial assumptions are not altered if theliabilities are considered adequate. Since assumptions and valuation methods used in estimatingpolicy reserves is locked unless a change in valuation method is approved by the IC, the effect ofchanges in the variables on insurance liabilities and related assets is not symmetrical.

Improvements in estimates have no impact on the value of the liabilities, while significant enoughdeteriorations in estimates may have an impact if the liabilities proved to be inadequate based onthe liability adequacy test.

Liability adequacy testTo test the adequacy of the statutory reserve liability, the present value of the future benefits andexpenses in excess of the present value of future gross premiums based on realistic assumptions isderived and compared to the statutory reserve liability. The key assumptions to which theestimation and adequacy testing of liabilities are particularly sensitive are as follows:

· Mortality and morbidity ratesAssumptions are based on standard industry and morbidity tables, according to the type ofcontract written and adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect the Company’s own experiences. The2001 CSO Table was chosen as an appropriate base table of recognized standard mortality. Afactor of 50% was used to reflect the Company’s historical experience. For life insurancepolicies, increased mortality and morbidity rates would lead to a larger number of claims andclaims occurring sooner than anticipated, increasing the expenditure and reducing profits forthe shareholders.

· Discount ratesThe discount rate affects the calculated present value of the cash flows. The estimate is basedon current market returns as well as expectations about future economic and financialdevelopments. A decrease in the discount rate will increase the present value of the cashflows. The discount rate used in the LAT is 4.5% for Peso and 4.0% for Dollar.

SensitivitiesThe analysis below is performed for reasonably possible movements in key assumptions with allother assumptions held constant. The correlation of assumptions will have a significant effect indetermining the ultimate claims liabilities, but to demonstrate the impact due to changes inassumptions, assumption changes had to be done on an individual basis.

23. Employee Benefits

The Company has a defined benefit plan, covering substantially all of its employees which requirecontributions to be made to an administered fund. The plan is administered by a local bank astrustee, Banco de Oro - Trust and Investment Group, an affiliate of BDO, a stockholder of GPHCI.

The Company’s annual contribution to the plan consists principally of payments which covers thecurrent service cost for the year and the required funding relative to the guaranteed minimumbenefits as applicable. The funds are administered by the Trustee under the supervision of theBoard of Trustees (BOT) of the plan which delegates the implementation of the investment policy

*SGVFS009402*

to the Trustee. These funds are subject to the investment objectives and guidelines established bythe Trustee and rules and regulations issued by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas covering assets undertrust and fiduciary agreements. The Trustee is responsible for the investment strategy of the plan.

The latest actuarial valuation date of the Company’s retirement plan is December 31, 2014.

Republic Act 7641, The New Retirement Law, requires a provision for retirement pay to qualifiedprivate sector employees in the absence of any retirement plan in the entity. The law does notrequire minimum funding of the plan.

25. Capital Management and Management of Insurance and Financial Risks

Governance FrameworkThe Company has established a risk management function with clear terms of reference and withthe responsibility for developing policies on market, credit, liquidity, insurance and operationalrisk. It also supports the effective implementation of policies at the overall company andindividual business unit levels.

The policies define the Company’s identification of risk and its interpretation, limit structure toensure the appropriate quality and diversification of assets, alignment of underwriting andreinsurance strategies to the corporate goals and specific reporting requirements.

Regulatory FrameworkRegulators are interested in protecting the rights of the policyholders and maintain close vigil toensure that the Company is satisfactorily managing affairs for their benefit. At the same time, theregulators are also interested in ensuring that the Company maintains appropriate solvencyposition to meet liabilities arising from claims and that the risk levels are at acceptable levels.

The operations of the Company are subject to the regulatory requirements of the IC. Suchregulations not only prescribe approval and monitoring of activities but also impose certainrestrictive provisions (e.g., margin of solvency (MOS) to minimize the risk of default andinsolvency on the part of the insurance companies to meet the unforeseen liabilities as these arise,fixed capitalization requirements and Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements).

Capital Management FrameworkThe Company maintains a certain level of capital to ensure sufficient solvency margins and toadequately protect the policyholders.

- 53 -

*SGVFS009402*

To ensure compliance with these externally imposed capital requirements, it is the Company’spolicy to assess its position, at least on a quarterly basis, against set minimum capitalrequirements. The Company elevates any requirement for additional capital infusion to GPHCI toaddress any foreseen capital deficiency.

There were no changes made to its capital management objectives, policies and processes from theprevious year.

Fixed capitalization requirementsOn January 13, 2015, the IC issued Circular Letter No. 2015-02-A clarifying the minimumcapitalization and networth requirements of new and existing insurance companies in thePhilippines. All domestic life and non-life insurance companies duly licensed by the InsuranceCommission must have a networth of at least P=250.0 million by December 31, 2013. Theminimum networth of the said companies shall remain unimpaired at all times and shall increaseto the amounts as follows:

Minimum Networth Compliance DateP=550,000,000 December 31 ,2016

900,000,000 December 31, 20191,300,000,000 December 31, 2022

The Company has complied with the minimum statutory net worth requirements as at the end ofeach reporting period.

RBC requirementsIn 2006, the IC issued Memorandum Circular (IMC) No. 6-2006 adopting a risk-based capitalframework to establish the required amounts of capital to be maintained by the life insurancecompanies in relation to their investment and insurance risks. The investments and insurance risksof the company are classified under four major categories as asset default risk, insurance pricingrisk, interest rate risk and general business risk.

The RBC ratio shall be calculated as net worth divided by the RBC requirement. Net worth shallinclude the company’s paid-up capital, capital in excess of par value, contributed and contingencysurplus and unassigned surplus. Revaluation and fluctuation reserve accounts shall form part ofnet worth only to the extent authorized by the IC.

Every life insurance company is annually required to maintain a minimum RBC ratio of 100% andnot fail the trend test. The trend test has failed, in the event that:

a. The RBC ratio is less than 125% but is not below 100%b. The RBC ratio has decreased over the past yearc. The difference between RBC ratio and the decrease in the RBC ratio over the past year is less

than 100%

Failure to meet the RBC ratio shall subject the insurance company to the corresponding regulatoryintervention which has been defined at various levels.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s statutory net worth amounted toP=2,729,373,923 and P=1,405,038,995, respectively. The RBC requirements as computed based onthe formula set by IC amounted to P=1,721,797,474 and P=1,741,932,765 as of December 31, 2014and 2013, respectively. The RBC ratio based on the net worth and RBC requirement resulted to159% and

- 54 -

*SGVFS009402*

81% in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The final amounts of the RBC ratio can only be determinedafter the accounts of the Company have been examined by the IC.

Insurance RiskThe risk under an insurance contract is the risk that an insured event will occur, including theuncertainty of the amount and timing of any resulting claim. The principal risk the Companyfaces under such contracts is that the actual claims and benefit payments exceed the carryingamounts of insurance liabilities. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims,whether actual benefits paid are greater than originally estimated, and subsequent development oflong-term claims.

Terms and conditionsThe Company principally writes life insurance where the life of the policyholder is insured againstdeath or permanent disability, usually for a predetermined amount. Life insurance contractsoffered by the Company mainly include whole life, term insurance, and endowments. Whole lifeand term insurance are conventional products where lump sum benefits are payable on death,provided death occurs within the terms of the policy. Endowment products are products wherelump sum benefits are payable after a fixed period or on death before the period is completed.

Underwriting riskUnderwriting risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from actual policy experience adverselydeviating from assumptions made in the product pricing. Underwriting risks are brought about bya combination of the following:

· Mortality risk - risk of loss arising from the policyholder’s death experience being higher thanexpected.

· Morbidity risk - risk of loss arising from the policyholder’s health experience being higherthan expected.

· Expense risk - risk of loss arising from expense experience being higher than expected.· Policyholder decision risk - risk of loss arising due to policyholder experiences (lapses and

surrenders) being different than expected.

Underwriting guidelines and limits for insurance and reinsurance contracts are regularly monitoredfor compliance and updated to reflect current requirements. To further control the underwritingrisks, the Company’s Actuarial Department regularly assesses the adequacy of the insurancepremiums and technical provisions. The risks of defaults by reinsurers are mitigated as most ofthe risks are ceded with related parties. Further, the Company only deals with accreditedreinsurers. Additionally, provisions for known and unknown liabilities arising from theCompany’s commitments are calculated using prudent actuarial methods.

The main underwriting strategies of the Company to control risk are the use of reinsurance, whichis discussed below, and the controlled granting of non-medical authority (NMA) to the sales force.The NMA is being given only to members of the sales force who either qualify by virtue of fieldexperience or by passing a certain underwriting and training program. Actual experience is closelymonitored and corrective actions are executed whenever necessary.

The reinsurance programs being utilized by the Company as a method of managing insurance riskare the surplus reinsurance and quota share reinsurance for Generali Employee Benefit (GEB)group accounts. A brief summary of these reinsurance treaties is presented below:

· Surplus treaty - This covers all life business assurances for both non-GEB Group andIndividual, with a retention limit of P=2,000,000 for standard basic life and P=1,000,000 for

- 55 -

*SGVFS009402*

riders or supplementary covers. This protects the Company from large adverse fluctuations inclaim experience, thus minimizing short run insolvency and instability in Company’searnings.

· GEB reinsurance agreement (quota share) - This covers group life business under the GEBpool and captive clients. The Company’s retention on GEB clients is only 5% of the totalcoverage (basic cover and supplemental coverage). The other 95% is ceded to AssicurazioniGenerali S.p.A. (90%) and National Reinsurance Corporation of the Philippines (5%).Approximately 50% of the Company’s total Group business is under this arrangement.

Investment RiskThe investment risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from cash flows from invested assets,primarily long-term fixed rate investments, being less than the cash flows required to meet theobligations of the expected policy and contract liabilities and the necessary return on investments.Additionally, there exists a future investment risk associated with certain policies currently inforce which will have premium receipts in the future. That is, the investment of those futurepremium receipts may be at a yield below that required to meet future policy liabilities.

To maintain an adequate yield to match the interest necessary to support future policy liabilities,management focus is required to reinvest the proceeds of the maturing securities and to invest thefuture premium receipts while continuing to maintain satisfactory investment quality.

The Company’s strategy is to invest primarily in high quality securities while maintainingdiversification to avoid significant exposure to issuer, industry and or country concentrations.Another strategy is to produce cash flows required to meet maturing insurance liabilities. TheCompany invests in equities for various reasons, including diversifying its overall exposure tointerest rate risk. AFS financial assets are subject to changes in fair value. Generally, insuranceregulations restrict the type of assets in which an insurance company may invest.

The Company uses asset-liability matching as a management tool to determine the composition ofthe invested assets and appropriate investment and marketing strategies. As part of thesestrategies, the Company may determine that it is economically advantageous to be temporarily inan unmatched position due to anticipated interest rate or other economic changes.The risk assessment policy on investment risk is managed by BDO, a related party

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsDue to the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, insurance receivables, loans andreceivables, accrued income, refundable lease and other deposits, premium deposit fund,policyholders’ dividends, insurance payables and trade and other liabilities, their carrying valuesreasonably approximate fair values as of the reporting date.

- 56 -

*SGVFS009402*

The fair value of AFS financial assets that are actively traded in organized financial markets isdetermined by reference to quoted market prices, at the close of business on the end of thereporting period. When the fair value of AFS financial assets cannot be measured reliably becauseof lack of reliable estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fairvalue of unquoted equity instruments, these investments are carried at cost.

Due to the long-term nature of the HTM investments, its carrying value differs from its fair value.The fair value of HTM investments is based on the quoted market prices at the end of the reportingdate. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value and carrying value of HTM investmentsfollows:

Financial RiskThe Company is exposed to financial risk through its financial assets, financial liabilities,insurance assets and insurance liabilities. In particular, the key financial risk is that the proceedsfrom its financial assets are not sufficient to fund the obligations arising from its insurancecontracts. The most important components of this financial risk are credit risk, liquidity risk andmarket risk. These risks arise from open positions in interest rate, currency and equity products,all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements.

Credit riskCredit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligationand cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The following policies and procedures are inplace to mitigate the Company’s exposure to credit risk:

· Net exposure limits are set for each counterparty or group of counterparties and industrysegment (i.e. limits are set for investments and cash deposits, foreign exchange tradeexposures and minimum credit ratings for investments that may be held).

· Guidelines are provided to determine when to obtain collateral and guarantees.

· The maximum amounts and limits that may be advanced to corporate counterparties byreference to their long term credit ratings are also set.

The Company also enters into reinsurance agreements. Although the Company has reinsurancearrangements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its policyholders and thus a creditexposure exists with respect to reinsurance ceded, to the extent that any reinsurer may be unable tomeet its obligations assumed under such reinsurance agreements. The Company selects onlydomestic and foreign companies with strong financial standing and excellent track records whichare allowed to participate in the Company’s reinsurance programs.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying values of the Company’s financial instrumentsrepresent maximum exposure as of reporting date other than the Policy loans of the Companywhich is covered by the cash surrender value of the policyholders’ policy.

The table below shows the credit risk exposure of the Company by classifying assets according toCompany’s credit ratings of the counterparties.

Cash and cash equivalents are substantially deposited to a related party commercial bank in goodfinancial standing and covered by the standard deposit insurance. As part of Company policy,bank deposits are only maintained with reputable financial institutions.

FVPL financial assets and AFS securities consist mostly of government bonds while others areprivate local corporations issued debt and equity securities. Loans and receivables are composedsignificantly of loan to policyholders which are 100% secured by earned cash values, net ofoutstanding premiums and due from cedants.

The Company structures the levels of credit risk it accepts by placing limits on its exposure to asingle counterparty or Company of counterparty, and to geographical and line of risk segments.The policy of the Company is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

The Company conducts a periodic review of allowance for impairment losses based on thecorresponding age of past due accounts, payment behavior, credit capacity and length ofrelationship with the counterparty.

The Company did not have any significant concentration of credit risk with a single counterpartyor group of counterparties, geographical and industry segments as of December 31, 2014 and2013.

Liquidity riskLiquidity or funding risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meetcommitments associated with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from either the

*SGVFS009402*

inability to sell financial assets quickly at their fair values; or the counterparty failing onrepayment of a contractual obligation; or the insurance liabilities falling due for payment earlierthan expected; or the inability to generate cash inflows as anticipated.

The Company manages liquidity through an assessment of the minimum amount of funds neededto meet operating and investment requirements; forecasting cash flows on both a short andlong-term basis; setting up of normal and contingency funding plans; specifying the sources offunding; maintaining counterparty exposures within approved limits; and periodic reporting andreview of the credit facilities made available to the Company.

It is unusual for a company primarily transacting insurance business to predict the requirements offunding with absolute certainty as theory of probability is applied on insurance contracts toascertain the likely provision and the time period when such liabilities will require settlement.The projected timing and amounts need to meet insurance liabilities are thus based onmanagement’s best estimate based on statistical techniques and past experience.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the financial assets and liabilities, andinsurance accounts of the Company based on the undiscounted contractual obligations, except forthe legal policy reserves of the life insurance contracts which shows the maturity analysis based onthe estimated timing of the net cash outflows using the recognized insurance liability accounts.

Market riskMarket risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk consists of three types of risks: foreignexchange rate (currency risk), market interest rate (fair value interest rate risk) and market price(equity price risk).

The following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to marketrisk:

· Set out the assessment and determination of what constitutes market risk for the Company.Compliance with the policy is monitored and exposures and breaches are reported to the riskcommittee. The policy is reviewed regularly for pertinence and for changes in the riskenvironment.

· Establish asset allocation and portfolio limit structure to ensure that assets back specificpolicyholders’ liabilities and are held to deliver income and gains for policyholders in linewith expectations of the policyholders.

· Stipulate diversification benchmarks by type of instrument, as the Company is exposed toguaranteed bonuses, cash and annuity options when interest rates fall.

Currency riskThe Company’s principal transactions are carried out in Philippine Peso and its foreign exchangerisk arises primarily with respect to the US Dollar (US$) where some of its products aredenominated. The Company’s financial assets are primarily denominated in the same currenciesas its insurance contracts, which mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, the main foreignexchange risk arises from recognized assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other thanthose in which the insurance contracts are expected to be settled.

The following tables show the details of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetaryassets and liabilities and their Philippine Peso equivalents.
