PART I. BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION<br />

Item 1. Description of Business<br />

1. Business Development<br />

Philippine Savings Bank (<strong>PSBank</strong>) was incorporated on June 30, 1959 primarily to engage in<br />

savings and mortgage banking. In 1983, Metrobank acquired majority share in the Bank, and in<br />

2004 further increased its shareholdings to the present level of 76%.<br />

In 1991, the Bank was authorized to perform trust functions, and in 1995, was granted quasibanking<br />

license. In 1994, <strong>PSBank</strong> became the country’s first publicly listed thrift bank.<br />

It has outpaced its key competitors and is, today, the country’s second largest thrift bank in terms<br />

of assets. It caters mainly to the retail and consumer markets and offers a wide range of products<br />

and services such as deposits, loans, treasury and trust.<br />

The Bank has a 25% interest in Toyota Financial Services Philippines Corp. (TFSPC). It also has<br />

a 40% interest in Sumisho Motor Finance Corporation (SMFC), a partnership with Sumitomo<br />

Corporation. TFSPC and SMFC are not listed in the stock exchange.<br />

Its principal office is located at the <strong>PSBank</strong> Center, 777 Paseo de Roxas corner Sedeño Street,<br />

Salcedo Village, Makati City.<br />

The past 3 years marked very significant growth as the Bank continue to grow its core business<br />

and always on track in hitting its year-end targets. The Bank has sustained its focus on<br />

consumers, which corners approximately 80% of its portfolio by continuing to provide efficient and<br />

creative banking solutions through wider distribution network.<br />

Total Resources Net Income Branch Network<br />

2010 104.149 billion 1.808 billion 180 branches<br />

2009 93.088 billion 1.240 billion 170 branches<br />

2008 74.637 billion 940.<strong>15</strong>2 million 164 branches<br />

In 2010, the Bank showed a stronger balance sheet and double-digit growth across all loan<br />

products. The Bank aggressively expanded its network to 180 branches and 380 ATMs<br />

nationwide and offered the widest nationwide coverage among thrift banks.<br />

In partnership with Mastercard and Bancnet, the Bank launched the <strong>PSBank</strong> Prepaid Mastercard<br />

last October 11, 2010. This is an e-money instrument product that is an ATM card, debit card,<br />

remittance card and internet cash card all put into one. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had<br />

a total of 21,171 active Prepaid Mastercard holders. Clients can reload their prepaid card via<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> branches nationwide using cash or <strong>PSBank</strong> Remote Banking (PRB) with funds from PSB<br />

account. The card can also be loaded via ATM with funds from PSB account or from another<br />

bank. To promote this prepaid card, the Bank distributed campaign materials to its branches and<br />

had a media briefing to inform and encourage clients to avail this new product.<br />

As of year end, <strong>PSBank</strong> Remote Banking enrollees had gone up to over 40,000 from 30,000<br />

enrollees in 2009. As a result, PRB transactions doubled to more than 3.0 million from previous<br />

year’s 1.5 million.<br />

Mortgage Banking launched a number of campaigns to boost loan referrals, among them: “The<br />

Federal Investors’ Night” which took place last October 21, 2010. The event, which was held in<br />

cooperation with Federal Land, was attended by branch personnel and valued clients. This was<br />

aimed to generate better profitability for branches in mortgage lending.


In 2009, the Bank made significant improvements in loan processing that enabled a 100%<br />

delivery on its Thank Goodness its Five Days (TGIF) campaign promise. The TGIF came with<br />

free interest for the first year if the client does not get a credit decision in five days or less. It also<br />

reinforced its <strong>PSBank</strong> Auto Loan through its Isang Tulog Lang campaign which offers flexible<br />

financing terms, one of the lowest rates in the market and a credit decision via SMS in as fast as<br />

24 hours.<br />

Another industry milestone is the <strong>PSBank</strong> Prime Rebate, the only loan rebate program in the<br />

industry. When customers pay in advance or in excess than their monthly due, they earn<br />

rebates which effectively shortens their loan term, gives a discount on their total loan amount, or<br />

even both.<br />

To provide more convenience to its customers and address their fast-paced lifestyle, <strong>PSBank</strong><br />

issued the Instant ATM Card where customers can apply for their new or replacement <strong>PSBank</strong><br />

ATM card on the spot in any of its branches nationwide. Likewise, the <strong>PSBank</strong> Overseas Filipino<br />

(OF) Savings Account, which has no minimum deposit and no maintaining balance, allowed our<br />

modern-day heroes and their beneficiaries to have easier access to their funds. Throughout the<br />

year, the Bank continued its efforts to realign its organizational, operational and business<br />

processes to meet the growing customer demand. The Customer Service Division (CSD) took<br />

major initiatives in 2009 to further strengthen the service culture within the organization and meet<br />

customers’ needs. The Human Resources Group conducted various in-house programs through<br />

seminars, workshops and inter-departmental projects, which also serve as a training ground for<br />

management skills.<br />

In August 2009, the Bank entered into a joint venture agreement with the Sumitomo Corporation<br />

to primarily engage in the financing of motorcycle purchases. In September 2009, the Bangko<br />

Sentral ng Pilipinas approved the joint venture which was named Sumisho Motor Finance<br />

Corporation and was subsequently incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission in<br />

November 2009.<br />

In 2008, the Bank conducted a stock rights offer and generated P2 billion in fresh Tier 1 capital,<br />

resulting to an increase in capital to P8.4 billion in end-February 2008. The Bank continued its<br />

build-up of investments in branches and information technology. <strong>PSBank</strong> opened its second<br />

branch in Bacolod City and relocated nine branches to better reach more customers. Helping<br />

boost our presence in areas with high customer traffic were 23 new offsite ATMs installed in<br />

major malls and commercial areas in Metro Manila. The Bank’s network was comprised of 164<br />

branches and 189 ATMs nationwide. To support the bank’s business units, the Bank took major<br />

initiatives to improve its IT system infrastructure. The acquisition of the IBM Z9 mainframe<br />

boosted our scalability and capability. It also moved to the IP/VPN technology that give the bank<br />

higher bandwidth capability and significantly improved our response time. <strong>PSBank</strong> also set up an<br />

ATM center to better manage all ATM-related operations and institutionalized the Exception<br />

Management System to check and manage risks that may arise from day-to-day operations. The<br />

Bank launched the Monthly Millions Raffle Promo, which produced five millionaires, to boost<br />

deposit levels and create market buzz. The Save it Forward campaign reinforced customer<br />

loyalty, raised deposits and enabled <strong>PSBank</strong> to fulfill its corporate social responsibility by<br />

providing scholarships to nominated scholars from World Vision and Resources for the Blind. The<br />

Bank also launched tactical marketing campaigns for Money Card, re-launched the SME<br />

Business Credit Lines and increased awareness for time deposit products. In 2008, the Bank<br />

revised its Code of Conduct to adjust to new labor laws, BSP guidelines, and incorporate recent<br />

changes in policies and procedures of the Bank. It addressed the changes in disciplinary conduct,<br />

and the role of different units in strengthening the definition and control of business data,<br />

administration and management. It also established a succession planning and staffing program<br />

to ensure normal operations in case of separation, resignation, retirement and transfer of key<br />

management personnel. Although the Bank posted a decline in income for the year ended<br />

December 2008, its core business has significantly improved amidst the present economic<br />

scenario with its continued investments in people, IT capability and strengthening of its risk<br />

management functions.

c) Distribution Methods of Products and Services<br />

The Bank’s operating segments are organized and managed separately according to the<br />

nature of services provided and the different markets served, with each segment representing<br />

a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The<br />

Bank’s reportable segments are as follows:<br />

a. Consumer Banking - principally provides consumer-type loans generated by the Home<br />

Office;<br />

a. Corporate Banking - principally handles loans and other credit facilities for corporate and<br />

institutional customers acquired in the Home Office;<br />

a. Branch Banking - serves as the Bank’s main customer touch point which offers consumer<br />

and corporate banking products; and<br />

a. Treasury - principally handles institutional deposit accounts, providing money market,<br />

trading and treasury services, as well as managing the Bank’s funding operations by use<br />

of government securities and placements and acceptances with other banks.<br />

The Bank has no single customer with revenues from which is 10.00% or more of the Bank’s<br />

total revenue. The Bank presented the disclosure requirements prescribed under PFRS in<br />

e) Competition<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> continues to rank as second in the thrift banking category and is larger in terms of<br />

total resources compared with other commercial banks. Although a thrift bank, <strong>PSBank</strong><br />

competes aggressively with other commercial banks in the field of retail and consumer<br />

banking. Competition has become even more challenging amidst the growing number of<br />

players in the consumer business and the vigorous campaign by competitor banks to acquire<br />

a bigger share of the market. While there are many factors beyond its control, the<br />

efficiencies it set into its operations help the Bank face market challenges. Consistency in<br />

product and service delivery remains to be its guidepost for growth. The Bank is taking full<br />

advantage of selected opportunities in the debt market to grow its corporate lending<br />

business.<br />

In 2010, <strong>PSBank</strong> was recognized for its compliance to Corporate Governance during the<br />

annual dinner of the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD). <strong>PSBank</strong> got a score of 91% in the<br />

ICD scorecard for its corporate governance practices, which landed it in the Silver Category.<br />

The Bank obtained a composite rating of 4 from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in a letter<br />

released last May 2010, based on Report on Examination dated March 2009. The rating<br />

indicates that the BSP found no major supervisory concerns in the Bank and that it is<br />

fundamentally sound with minor weaknesses that can be addressed by Management in the<br />

normal course of business. Last but not least, Philippine Rating Services Corporation<br />

(Philratings) upgraded its rating for <strong>PSBank</strong>’s unsecured subordinated debt or Tier 2 bonds to<br />

PRS Aaa in October 2010 from PRS Aa plus. PRS Aaa is the highest rating that Philratings<br />

can assign and is defined as “high quality with minimal credit risk”. <strong>PSBank</strong> exercised the call<br />

option on the bonds last January <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

f) Customers/Clients<br />

While the Bank’s client base has been traditionally composed of big and small savers,<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> persistently builds its CASA deposits. As of year-end, the Bank services about<br />

292,253 deposit accounts and 378,230 loan accounts. Many customers have remained loyal<br />

depositors and borrowers of the Bank through the years. There is no single customer that<br />

accounts for 20% or more of the Bank’s deposits and loans.<br />

g) Transactions with and/or dependence on related parties<br />

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has loans and other transactions with its<br />

affiliates and with certain directors, officers, stockholders and related interests (DOSRI).<br />

These loans and other transactions are made substantially on the same terms as with other<br />

individuals and businesses of comparable risks. The Bank has complied with the limits<br />

prescribed by regulations.<br />

Other transactions conducted in the normal course of business include deposits with the<br />

parent company, interbank loan transactions and deposit liabilities with related parties.<br />

h) Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Franchises, etc.<br />

The Bank sells its products and services thru the <strong>PSBank</strong> trademarks and/or tradenames.<br />

The Bank’s operations are not dependent on the terms of these agreements.<br />

i) Government approval of principal products or services<br />

Its authority to operate as a thrift bank governs the Bank’s principal products and services.<br />

Existing products and services are within the scope allowed under the Bank’s regulatory<br />

licenses and do not need special government approval.<br />

j) Research and Development Costs<br />

There are no major expenses on research and development activities. Expenses incurred<br />

related to these activities are included into the regular business expense of the Bank.


k) Employees<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> considers its entire workforce as important. Everyone is expected to work together<br />

as a team to achieve the Bank’s goals and objectives.<br />

The following are the existing and projected manpower complement:<br />

As of 12/31/2010 Projected – Dec <strong>2011</strong><br />

Senior Officers 60 65<br />

Junior Officers 841 959<br />

Staff 1,854 2,084<br />

Total 2,755 3,108<br />

Although its rank-and-file employees are unionized, the Bank has been strike-free for its<br />

entire history. The Bank’s Management and the Employees’ Union reached an agreement<br />

and signed the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) on January 20, 2010 covering the<br />

period of January 2010 to December 2012, significant features of which include goodwill and<br />

signing bonuses for the initial year 2010 as the Bank’s gesture of appreciation to the mutually<br />

agreed economic package. The CBA also includes salary increases amounting to P1,400,<br />

P1,300 and P1,200 for 2010, <strong>2011</strong> and 2012, respectively. The Bank recognizes the<br />

importance of its human resources, thus, continuing its officership program for head office<br />

and branch functions to its roster of organizational development activities and improving<br />

employee trainings and development to achieve the Bank’s current thrust on operations<br />

quality and competence, service quality and effective sales.<br />

l) Business Risks<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> is exposed to all business risks that confront all banks in general, such as credit,<br />

market, interest, liquidity, legal, regulatory and operational risk. The Bank’s risk management<br />

structure and process that serve as mechanism to identify, assess and manage these risks<br />

are further discussed in Item 13. Compliance with Leading Practices on Corporate<br />

Governance.<br />

Item 2. Properties<br />

The Bank owns the premises it occupies for the Head Office and 23 of its branches. These<br />

offices and branches are all in good condition and there is no mortgage or lien on any of these<br />

properties owned by the Bank. Schedule of owned branch sites is shown in EXHIBIT 1. The rest<br />

of the Bank’s branch premises are under lease agreements. Terms of leases range from 1 month<br />

to 30 years renewable under certain terms and conditions. Rentals charged against operations<br />

Dividends and Dividend Policy<br />

Dividends to be paid in cash by the Bank are subject to approval by a majority of the Board of<br />

Directors and no further approval from the Bank's shareholders is required. Dividends to be paid<br />

in the form of stock requires both the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors and the<br />

approval of shareholders representing not less than two-thirds of the Bank’s outstanding capital<br />

stock. All dividends to be declared are subject to the approval of the BSP and the SEC. There are<br />

no known restrictions to the Bank’s ability to pay dividends on shares.<br />

Pursuant to existing Philippine SEC rules, cash dividends declared by the Bank must have a<br />

record date not less than 10 or more than 30 days from the date the cash dividends are declared.<br />

With respect to stock dividends, the record date is to be not less than 10 or more than 30 days<br />

from the date of shareholders’ approval, provided however, that the set record date is not to be<br />

less than 10 trading days from receipt by the PSE of the notice of declaration of stock dividend. In<br />

relation to banks, however, the record date can only be fixed after receipt of the BSP's approval<br />

for the dividend declaration. In the event that a stock dividend is declared in connection with an<br />

increase in authorized capital stock, the corresponding record date is to be fixed by the SEC.<br />

Subject as described herein, the Bank has historically paid and intends to continue to pay<br />

(subject as described below) dividends on its Shares. The payment of dividends in the future will<br />

depend on the Bank's earnings, cash flow, financial condition and other factors. Dividends may<br />

be declared only from unrestricted retained earnings and subject to approval from the BSP.<br />

Circumstances which could restrict the payment of cash dividends include, but are not limited to,<br />

when the Bank undertakes major projects and developments requiring substantial cash<br />

expenditures or when it is restricted from paying cash dividends by its loan covenants. The Board<br />

of Directors may, at any time, modify the Bank's dividend payout ratio depending on the results of<br />

operations and future projects and plans of the Bank.


The bank declared cash dividends to stockholders on the following dates:<br />

calculated by dividing net income by the year-on-year average of the outstanding shareholders’<br />

equity.<br />

2. Return on Average Assets (ROAA) as of December 31, 2009 improved to 1.48% from last<br />

year’s 1.31%. ROAA is calculated by dividing net income by the year-on-year average of the<br />

outstanding total assets.<br />

3. Net Interest Margin on Average Earning Assets (NIM) increased to 6.43% in 2009 from 5.75%<br />

in 2008. NIM is calculated by dividing the net interest income by the average earning assets.<br />

4. Earnings per Share (EPS) likewise increased to P5.16 for the year 2009 as against the P3.98<br />

posted in the year 2008. EPS is the net profit the Bank has generated per common share. It is<br />

computed by dividing net income by average number of outstanding common shares.<br />

5. Capital to Risk Assets Ratio (CAR) declined to 14.44% in 2009 from 17.42% in 2008. CAR is<br />

the measure of the Bank’s capital strength. It is calculated by dividing the qualified capital by riskweighted<br />

assets as defined by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).


iv. Key Variables and Other Qualitative and Quantitative Factors<br />

a) Liquidity<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> manages its liquidity position to ensure that it has more than adequate funds to meet its<br />

obligations at any given time. The Bank monitors its daily liquidity and reserve position by<br />

determining inflows and outflows, short-term and long-term obligations, holdings and repayments.<br />

Short-term liquidity management identifies obligations and repayments in the next 12-months,<br />

aids in the determination of the securities trading strategy, and influences the Bank’s pricing<br />

mechanism. On the other hand, long-term liquidity management covers maturing obligations and<br />

repayments of loans and investments beyond the next 12-months.<br />

The Bank’s consistent prudent management of its liquidity and sustained deposit growth in 2010<br />

has led to the further improvement of its liquidity profile. Furthermore, the level of liquid assets<br />

remained strong, exhibiting healthy growth in both interbank lendings and securities investments.<br />

With the Bank’s high capitalization, current liquidity position, strong deposit growth trend,<br />

continuing development of retail and corporate accounts, and prudent liquidity management,<br />

<strong>PSBank</strong> does not anticipate encountering any cash flow or liquidity problems in the next 12<br />

months. It remains confident of its ability to meet its obligations and is committed to providing the<br />

necessary funding to support the projected loan growth, investment activities and expenditures<br />

for 2010.<br />

b) Events that will trigger Direct or Contingent Financial Obligation<br />

In the normal course of the Bank's operations, there are various outstanding commitments and<br />

contingent liabilities such as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, which are not<br />

reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank does not anticipate significant<br />

losses as a result of these transactions.<br />

Also, several suit and claims relating to the Bank’s lending operations and labor-related cases<br />

remain unsettled. In the opinion of management, these suits and claims, if decided adversely, will<br />

not involve sums having a material effect on the financial statements.<br />

c) Material Off-Balance Sheet Transactions, Arrangements and Obligations<br />

The following is a summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities at their<br />

equivalent peso contractual amounts:<br />

2010 2009 2008<br />

Trust department accounts 631,063,745 630,040,803 508,442,498<br />

Stand-by credit line 112,514,393 104,023,029 <strong>15</strong>1,342,780<br />

Late deposits/ payments received 58,460,284 88,146,816 22,273,773<br />

Items held for safekeeping 336,370 232,334 208,889<br />

Outward bills for collection – 82,141 88,735<br />

Others 24,994 24,107 75,201<br />

None of these off-balance sheet transactions, arising in the ordinary course, either individually or<br />

in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Bank of its financial<br />

condition.


d) Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures<br />

The Bank completed in 2008 the issuance of common shares through another stock rights<br />

offering and was able to raise P2.0 billion in capital. In general, the Bank used the net proceeds<br />

from the Offer in strengthening its capital adequacy ratio, taking into account the effects of the<br />

Basel II and continuously enhancing its financial flexibility as well as for general corporate<br />

purposes including but not limited to lending, working capital and investment purposes.<br />

The Bank’s Capital Expenditures in 2010 includes projected expenses for IT-related activities on<br />

systems, infrastructure, and licenses; computer and peripherals; upgrade of bank premises<br />

including furniture, fixtures and equipment. For <strong>2011</strong>, the Bank plans to open fifteen (<strong>15</strong>) more<br />

branches and put up 95 additional offsite ATMs.<br />

e) Causes for Any Material Changes from Period to Period of Financial Statements<br />

See previous discussion on Analysis of Statement of Condition and Discussion of Results of<br />

Operations.<br />

f) Known Trends, Events or Uncertainties or Seasonal Aspects<br />

The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial<br />

Reporting Standards (PFRS).<br />

g) Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures<br />

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. The<br />

issuance of and the amendments to the following standards and interpretations which became<br />

effective as of January 1, 2010, did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial<br />

position or performance of the Bank:<br />

• PFRS 2 Amendments - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transaction, effective for<br />

annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010<br />

• PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Revised), effective for annual period beginning on or after<br />

July 1, 2009<br />

• Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements<br />

(Amended), effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009<br />

• PAS 39 Amendment - Eligible Hedged Items, effective for annual periods beginning on or<br />

after July 1, 2009<br />

• Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC)<br />

17, Distributions of Non-Cash Assets to Owners, effective for annual periods beginning on or<br />

after July 1, 2009 with early application permitted<br />

Improvements to PFRSs<br />

Improvements to PFRSs, an omnibus of amendments to standards, deal primarily with a view to<br />

removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for<br />

each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting<br />

policies but did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Bank.<br />

Improvements to PFRSs 2008<br />

The amendment arising from the 2008 Improvements to PFRSs is effective for annual periods<br />

beginning on or after July 1, 2009.<br />

• PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, clarifies that when a<br />

subsidiary is classified as held for sale, all its assets and liabilities are classified as held for<br />

sale, even when the entity remains a non-controlling interest after the sale transaction.


Improvements to PFRSs 2009<br />

The amendments in the 2009 Improvements to PFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning<br />

on or after July 1, 2009, except for the amendments to PFRS 5, PFRS 8, PAS 1, PAS 7, PAS 17,<br />

PAS 36 and PAS 39, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,<br />

2010. The amendment to PAS 18 was effective from issue date of the standard in <strong>April</strong> 2009.<br />

• PFRS 5, clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and disposal<br />

groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in PFRS<br />

5. The disclosure requirements of other PFRSs only apply if specifically required for such<br />

non-current assets or discontinued operations. The amendment has no impact on the<br />

financial position or financial performance of the Bank.<br />

• PFRS 8, Operating Segments, clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be<br />

reported when those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief<br />

operating decision maker. As the Bank’s chief operating decision maker reviews segment<br />

assets and liabilities, the Bank has continued to disclose this information in Note 6.<br />

• PAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, states that only expenditure that results in recognizing an<br />

asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities. This amendment has no<br />

impact on the Bank’s statements of cash flows.<br />

• PAS 36, Impairment of Assets, The amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for<br />

allocating goodwill, acquired in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined<br />

in PFRS 8 before aggregation for reporting purposes. The amendment has no impact on the<br />

Bank as the annual impairment test is performed before aggregation.<br />

Other amendments resulting from the 2009 Improvements to PFRSs to the following standards<br />

did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Bank.<br />

• PFRS 2, Share-based Payment<br />

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements<br />

• PAS 17, Leases<br />

• PAS 38, Intangible Assets<br />

• PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement<br />

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives<br />

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-16, Hedge of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation<br />

Except for the foregoing, there are no known trends, events and uncertainties or seasonal<br />

aspects that may effect liquidity or reverse the generally profitable results of operation of the<br />

Bank.<br />

PART IV. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />

Item 12. Compliance with Leading Practices on Corporate Governance<br />

The Bank’s Corporate Governance evolves around the principles of fairness, accountability and<br />

transparency. Corporate Governance in <strong>PSBank</strong> involves the manner in which the business and<br />

affairs of banks are governed by the board of directors and senior management. The Corporate<br />

Governance tone is being set from the top to:<br />

• Set corporate objectives;<br />

• Operate the bank’s business on a day-to-day basis;<br />

• Meet the obligation of accountability to their shareholders and take into account the interests<br />

of other recognized stakeholders;<br />

• Align corporate activities and behaviors with the expectation that banks will operate in a safe<br />

and sound manner, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and<br />

• Protect the interests of its depositors.<br />

The Bank recognizes that effective corporate governance practices are essential in achieving and<br />

maintaining public trust and confidence in the banking system, which are critical in the banking<br />

sector and economy as a whole. Indeed, in addition to the Bank’s responsibilities to shareholders,<br />

it recognizes its responsibility to its depositors.<br />

Sound corporate governance principles are being observed by the Bank:<br />

1. All the Board members are qualified for their positions, have a clear understanding of their<br />

role in corporate governance and can exercise sound judgment about the affairs of the Bank.<br />

The Bank’s board of directors has undergone the required Corporate Governance Training.<br />

They understand and execute their oversight role, including understanding the Bank’s risk<br />

profile.<br />

The Board approves the overall business strategy of the Bank, including approval of the<br />

overall risk policy and risk management procedures. They avoid conflicts of interest, or the<br />

appearance of conflicts, in their activities with, and commitments to, other business interests.<br />

The Corporate Governance Manual of the Bank was updated and approved by the Board of<br />

Directors last December 14, 2009.<br />

The Board likewise provides oversight of the Senior Management of the Bank by exercising<br />

its duty and authority to question and insist upon straightforward explanations from<br />

Management, and receives on timely basis sufficient information to judge the performance of<br />

Management.<br />

The specialized oversight committees have taken active role in ensuring sound judgment in<br />

the exercise of the affairs of the Bank:<br />

a. Risk Management Committee – provides oversight of Senior Management’s activities in<br />

managing credit, market, liquidity, operational, compliance, reputation and other risks of<br />

the bank. It also develops written plan defining the strategies for managing and<br />

controlling risks, and it communicates the risk management plan to affected parties.<br />

b. Compensation and Remuneration Committee – provides oversight of remuneration of<br />

Senior Management and other key personnel and ensure that compensation is consistent<br />

with the Bank’s culture, objectives, strategy, and control environment, as reflected in the<br />

formulation of compensation policy. It establishes a formal and transparent procedure for<br />

developing a policy on executive remuneration.


c. Nominations Committee – provides assessment of Board effectiveness and directs the<br />

process of renewing and replacing Board members. It reviews and evaluates all persons<br />

nominated to the Board as well as those nominated to other positions requiring<br />

appointment by the Board.<br />

d. Corporate Governance Committee – provides assistance to the Board in fulfilling its<br />

corporate governance responsibilities. It ensures the Board’s effectiveness and due<br />

performance of corporate governance principles and<br />

guidelines.<br />

e. Audit Committee – provides oversight of the Bank’s Financial Reporting and Control and<br />

oversees the work of internal and external audit functions; it monitors and evaluates the<br />

adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system.<br />

2. The principle of self assessment by the Board of Directors is strictly being complied on an<br />

annual basis. The assessment for 2010 performance of the Directors, the Board as a body<br />

and each of the oversight committees were completed last January 19, <strong>2011</strong>. The over-all<br />

results of which were very satisfactory.<br />

3. The Board approves and oversees the Bank’s strategic objectives and corporate values that<br />

are communicated throughout the banking organization. The Board likewise avoids conflict of<br />

interests. The Board reviews and approves all the business plans and budgets, code of<br />

ethics, bank operations, internal controls and product manuals process and the<br />

corresponding updates.<br />

4. The Board sets and enforces clear lines of responsibility and accountability throughout the<br />

organization, consistent with prudent board policy, transparent and at an arm’s length basis.<br />

5. The Board ensures that there is appropriate oversight by Senior Management consistent with<br />

Board policy.<br />

Senior Management consists of a core group of individuals who are responsible for<br />

overseeing the day-to-day management of the Bank. These individuals have the necessary<br />

skills and experience to manage the business under their supervision as well as have<br />

appropriate control over the key individuals in their respective areas.<br />

Senior Officers contribute a major element of a bank’s sound corporate governance by<br />

overseeing line managers in specific business areas and activities consistent with policies<br />

and procedures set by the Bank’s Board. Senior Management under the guidance of the<br />

Board of Directors undertakes an effective system of internal controls and wise decisionmaking.<br />

6. The Board and Senior Management effectively utilize the work conducted by the internal<br />

auditors and external auditors for a stronger internal control functions.<br />

The Board recognizes and acknowledges that independent, competent and qualified auditors,<br />

as well as internal control functions, which include Compliance and Legal, as important<br />

elements of the bank’s operations. In particular, the Board utilizes the work of auditors to<br />

provide an independent check and assurance on the information received from Management<br />

on the operations and performance of the Bank.<br />

The Bank engages external auditors, upon the nomination of the Audit Committee to review<br />

the internal control processes related to disclosure of financial statements.<br />

7. The Bank is governed in a transparent manner.<br />

The bank ensures that appropriate public disclosure is a discipline that is carefully<br />

undertaken being a publicly listed bank. Transparency is a discipline that the Bank practices<br />

thereby sound corporate governance will continue to operate.


8. The Board and Senior Management understand the Bank’s operational structure.<br />

While the Board of Directors is responsible for overall oversight and approval of policies,<br />

Senior Management, on the other hand is responsible for identifying and managing material<br />

risks arising from all of the Bank’s activities. Regularly, Senior Management reports to the<br />

Board covering the operations of the Bank: risk issues, compliance issues and internal audit<br />

findings.<br />

9. The Board and Senior Management have conscientiously adhered to the Bank’s Manual of<br />

Corporate Governance and as such, no deviation is reported for disclosure purposes.<br />

10. Consistent with the effort to pursue continuing education and to keep abreast in Corporate<br />

Governance, last March 24, 2009, the Board together with Senior Executives attended a<br />

round table discussion with regulators aimed to determine the role of corporate governance in<br />

relation to the Bank’s CAMELS rating.<br />

11. All directors have attended and completed a 2-day seminar on Corporate Governance, per<br />

certifications submitted to SEC dated January 24, <strong>2011</strong>.

<strong>PSBank</strong> Center<br />

Makati City<br />

Report on the Financial Statements<br />

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Philippine Savings Bank, which comprise<br />

the statements of condition as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the statements of income, the<br />

statements of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statements of cash<br />

flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, and a summary of significant<br />

accounting policies and other explanatory information.<br />

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements<br />

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in<br />

accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management<br />

determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material<br />

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.<br />

Auditors’ Responsibility<br />

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We<br />

conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that<br />

we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance<br />

whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.<br />

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in<br />

the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the<br />

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or<br />

error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s<br />

preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are<br />

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness<br />

of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting<br />

policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as<br />

evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.<br />

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for<br />

our audit opinion.<br />

Opinion<br />

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of<br />

Philippine Savings Bank as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and its financial performance and its cash<br />

flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in accordance with Philippine<br />

Financial Reporting Standards.<br />

Report on Bureau of Internal Revenue Requirement<br />

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken<br />

as a whole. The supplementary information on taxes and licenses in Note 34 to the financial statements<br />

is presented for purposes of filing with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and is not a required part of the<br />

basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in<br />

our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in<br />

relation to the basic financial statements taken as whole.<br />

<strong>PHILIPPINE</strong> SAVINGS BANK<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

1. Corporate Information<br />

Philippine Savings Bank (the Bank) was incorporated in the Philippines primarily to engage in<br />

savings and mortgage banking. The Bank’s shares are listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange<br />

(PSE). The Bank offers a wide range of products and services such as deposit products, loans,<br />

treasury and trust functions that serve mainly to the retail and consumer market. On September 6,<br />

1991, the Bank was authorized to perform trust functions.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank had 180 and 170 branches, respectively. The Bank<br />

added 74 Automated Tellering Machines (ATMs) in Metro Manila and in provincial locations in<br />

2010, bringing the total number of ATMs to 380 as of December 31, 2010 from 306 as of<br />

December 31, 2009.<br />

The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Bank was issued by the Securities and Exchange<br />

Commission on June 30, 1959. On March 28, 2006, the board of directors (BOD) of the Bank<br />

approved the amendment of Article Four of its Amended Articles of Incorporation to extend the<br />

corporate term of the Bank, which expired on June 30, 2009, for another 50 years or up to June 30,<br />

2059.<br />

On March 23, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the amendment of the Bank’s Articles of<br />

Incorporation and By-laws for the purpose of reducing the number of directors from eleven (11) to<br />

a maximum of nine (9).<br />

As of December 31, 2010, the Bank is seventy-six percent (76%) owned by Metropolitan Bank &<br />

Trust Company (MBTC), its parent company.<br />

Sedeño Street, Makati City.<br />

2. Accounting Policies<br />

Basis of Preparation<br />

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except<br />

for fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) investments and available-for-sale (AFS) investments<br />

that have been measured at fair value.<br />

The accompanying financial statements of the Bank include the accounts maintained in the<br />

Regular Banking Unit (RBU) and Foreign Currency Deposit Unit (FCDU). The functional<br />

currency of the RBU and the FCDU is Philippine Peso and United States Dollar (USD),<br />

respectively. For financial reporting purposes, FCDU accounts and foreign currency-denominated<br />

accounts in the RBU are translated into their equivalents in Philippine pesos (see accounting<br />

policy on Foreign Currency Translation). The financial statements of these units are combined<br />

after eliminating inter-unit accounts.<br />

Statement of Compliance<br />

The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial<br />

Reporting Standards (PFRS).

Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosure<br />

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. The<br />

issuance of and the amendments to the following standards and interpretations which became<br />

effective as of January 1, 2010, did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial<br />

position or performance of the Bank:<br />

• PFRS 2 Amendments - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transaction, effective for<br />

annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010<br />

• PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Revised), effective for annual period beginning on or after<br />

July 1, 2009<br />

(Amended), effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009<br />

• PAS 39 Amendment - Eligible Hedged Items, effective for annual periods beginning on or<br />

after July 1, 2009<br />

• Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC)<br />

17, Distributions of Non-Cash Assets to Owners, effective for annual periods beginning on or<br />

after July 1, 2009 with early application permitted<br />

Improvements to PFRSs<br />

Improvements to PFRSs, an omnibus of amendments to standards, deal primarily with a view to<br />

removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for<br />

each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting<br />

policies but did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Bank.<br />

Improvements to PFRSs 2008<br />

The amendment arising from the 2008 Improvements to PFRSs is effective for annual periods<br />

beginning on or after July 1, 2009.<br />

• PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, clarifies that when a<br />

subsidiary is classified as held for sale, all its assets and liabilities are classified as held for<br />

sale, even when the entity remains a non-controlling interest after the sale transaction.<br />

Improvements to PFRSs 2009<br />

The amendments in the 2009 Improvements to PFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning<br />

on or after July 1, 2009, except for the amendments to PFRS 5, PFRS 8, PAS 1, PAS 7, PAS 17,<br />

PAS 36 and PAS 39, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010.<br />

The amendment to PAS 18 was effective from issue date of the standard in <strong>April</strong> 2009.<br />

• PFRS 5, clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and disposal<br />

groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in PFRS 5.<br />

The disclosure requirements of other PFRSs only apply if specifically required for such noncurrent<br />

assets or discontinued operations. The amendment has no impact on the financial<br />

position or financial performance of the Bank.<br />

• PFRS 8, Operating Segments, clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be<br />

reported when those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief<br />

operating decision maker. As the Bank’s chief operating decision maker reviews segment<br />

assets and liabilities, the Bank has continued to disclose this information in Note 6.


- 3 -<br />

• PAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, states that only expenditure that results in recognizing an<br />

asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities. This amendment has no impact<br />

on the Bank’s statements of cash flows.<br />

• PAS 36, Impairment of Assets, The amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for<br />

allocating goodwill, acquired in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined in<br />

PFRS 8 before aggregation for reporting purposes. The amendment has no impact on the<br />

Bank as the annual impairment test is performed before aggregation.<br />

Other amendments resulting from the 2009 Improvements to PFRSs to the following standards did<br />

not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Bank.<br />

• PFRS 2, Share-based Payment<br />

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements<br />

• PAS 17, Leases<br />

• PAS 38, Intangible Assets<br />

• PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement<br />

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives<br />

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-16, Hedge of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation<br />

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies<br />

Foreign Currency Translation<br />

The financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, which is the Bank’s functional and<br />

presentation currency.<br />

The books of accounts of the RBU are maintained in Philippine pesos, while those of the FCDU<br />

are maintained in USD.<br />

RBU<br />

As at reporting date, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the RBU are translated in<br />

Philippine pesos based on the Philippine Dealing System (PDS) closing rate prevailing at end of<br />

the year and foreign currency-denominated income and expenses, at the exchange rates as at the<br />

date of the transaction. Foreign exchange differences arising from restatements of foreign<br />

currency-denominated assets and liabilities in the RBU are credited to or charged against profit or<br />

loss in the year in which the rates change. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of<br />

historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the<br />

initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are<br />

translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.<br />

FCDU<br />

As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of the FCDU are translated to the Bank’s<br />

presentation currency (the Philippine Peso) at PDS closing rate prevailing at the statement of<br />

condition date, and its income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates<br />

of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on translation to the presentation currency are<br />

taken to the statement of comprehensive income under ‘Cumulative translation adjustment’. Upon<br />

disposal of the FCDU, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in the statement of<br />

comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of income. The Bank adopted this policy<br />

when the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) issued BSP Circular No. 601 on February 13, 2008.<br />

This Circular included a provision requiring Banks to use the USD as the functional currency of<br />

its FCDU. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank recorded ‘Cumulative translation<br />

adjustment’ under equity amounting to P=57.1 million and P=1<strong>15</strong>.4 million, respectively.


- 4 -<br />

Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement<br />

Date of recognition<br />

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame<br />

established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the settlement date.<br />

Deposits, amounts due to banks and loans are recognized when cash is received by the Bank or<br />

advanced to the borrowers.<br />

Initial recognition of financial instruments<br />

All financial instruments, including trading and investment securities and loans and receivables,<br />

are initially measured at fair value. Except for FVPL investments and liabilities, the initial<br />

measurement of financial instruments includes transaction costs. The Bank classifies its financial<br />

assets in the following categories: FVPL investments, Held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS<br />

investments, and loans and receivables. Financial liabilities are classified into liabilities at FVPL<br />

and other financial liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for<br />

which the investments are acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. Management<br />

determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, where allowed and<br />

appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every statement of condition date. As of<br />

December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank had no liabilities at FVPL.<br />

Determination of fair value<br />

The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the statement of condition date<br />

is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and<br />

asking price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. When current bid<br />

and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction is used since it<br />

provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in<br />

economic circumstances since the time of the transaction.<br />

For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by<br />

using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value<br />

techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, options<br />

pricing models, and other relevant valuation models.<br />

‘Day 1’ difference<br />

Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value from other<br />

observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique<br />

whose variables include only data from observable market, the Bank recognizes the difference<br />

between the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1 difference’) in the statement of income in<br />

‘Trading and securities gains - net’, unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset.<br />

In cases where transaction price used is made of data which is not observable, the difference<br />

between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the statement of income when<br />

the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the<br />

Bank determines the appropriate method of recognizing the ‘Day 1 difference’ amount.<br />

Derivatives<br />

Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date at which the<br />

derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Any gains or<br />

losses arising from changes in fair values of derivatives (except those accounted for as cash flow<br />

hedges) are taken directly to the statement of income and are included in ‘Trading and securities<br />

gain - net’. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when<br />

the fair value is negative. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, derivatives comprise Republic of<br />

the Philippines (ROP) paired warrants acquired to lower the risk weighted assets and improve the<br />

capital adequacy ratio of the Bank.


- 5 -<br />

For purposes of hedge accounting, hedges, if any, are classified primarily as either: a) a hedge of<br />

the fair value of an asset, liability or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or b) a hedge of the<br />

exposure variability in cash flows attributable to an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction<br />

(cash flow hedge). Hedge accounting is applied to derivatives designated as hedging instruments<br />

in a fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedge provided certain criteria are met. In 2010 and<br />

2009, the Bank did not apply hedge accounting treatment for its derivative transactions.<br />

Designated financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL<br />

Designated financial assets or financial liabilities classified in this category are designated by<br />

management on initial recognition when the following criteria are met:<br />

• the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would<br />

otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them<br />

on a different basis; or<br />

• the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both<br />

which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a<br />

documented risk management or investment strategy; or<br />

• the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative<br />

does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it<br />

would not be separately recorded.<br />

Designated financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the statement of<br />

condition at fair value. Changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities designated at FVPL<br />

are recorded in ‘Trading and securities gains - net’. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in<br />

interest income or expense, respectively, while any dividend income is recorded in other operating<br />

income according to the terms of the contract, or when the right of the payment has been<br />

established. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank had no designated financial assets or<br />

financial liabilities at FVPL.<br />

Other financial assets or financial liabilities held-for-trading (HFT)<br />

Other financial assets or financial liabilities HFT (classified as FVPL investments) are recorded in<br />

the statement of condition at fair value. Changes in fair value relating to the HFT positions are<br />

recognized in ‘Trading and securities gains - net’. Interest earned or incurred is recorded as<br />

interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income is recorded in other operating<br />

income when the right to receive payment has been established.<br />

Included in this classification are debt securities which have been acquired principally for the<br />

purpose of selling in the near term.<br />

Embedded derivatives<br />

An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all<br />

of the following conditions are met:<br />

• the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the<br />

economic characteristic of the host contract;<br />

• a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the<br />

definition of a derivative; and<br />

• the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss.


- 6 -<br />

The Bank assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts<br />

when the Bank first becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless<br />

there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that<br />

otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required. The Bank<br />

determines whether a modification to cash flows is significant by considering the extent to which<br />

the expected future cash flows associated with the embedded derivative and the host contract and<br />

whether the change is significant relative to the previously expected cash flow on the contract.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank does not have any embedded derivatives required to<br />

be separated from the host contract.<br />

HTM investments<br />

HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments<br />

and fixed maturities for which the Bank’s management has the positive intention and ability to<br />

hold to maturity. Where the Bank sells other than an insignificant amount of HTM investments,<br />

the entire category would be tainted and reclassified to AFS investments. After initial<br />

measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective<br />

interest rate (EIR) amortization method, less impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by<br />

taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the<br />

EIR. The amortization is included in ‘Interest income on investment securities’ in the statement of<br />

income. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the HTM investments<br />

are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The losses arising<br />

from impairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income under ‘Provision<br />

for credit and impairment losses’.<br />

The effects of restatement on foreign currency denominated HTM investments are recognized in<br />

the statement of income.<br />

Amounts due from BSP and other banks, interbank loans receivable and securities purchased<br />

under resale agreements (SPURA), loans and receivables<br />

These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities<br />

that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate<br />

or short-term resale and are not classified as ‘FVPL investments’, designated as ‘AFS<br />

investments’ or ‘designated financial assets at FVPL’.<br />

After initial measurement, ‘Due from BSP’, ‘Due from other banks’, ‘Interbank loans receivable<br />

and SPURA’ and ‘Loans and receivables’ are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the<br />

EIR amortization method, less allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is calculated by taking<br />

into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of<br />

the EIR. The amortization is included in the ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. The<br />

losses arising from impairment are recognized in ‘Provision for credit and impairment losses’ in<br />

the statement of income.<br />

AFS investments<br />

AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as FVPL<br />

investments, HTM investments or loans and receivables. They are purchased and held<br />

indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market<br />

conditions. They include equity investments, money market papers and other debt instruments.


- 7 -<br />

After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The<br />

effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of restatement on foreign<br />

currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in income. The unrealized gains and losses<br />

arising from the fair valuation of AFS investments are excluded, net of tax, from reported income<br />

and are reported as ‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS investments’ in other comprehensive<br />

income (OCI).<br />

When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is<br />

recognized as ‘Trading and securities gains - net’ in the statement of income. Where the Bank<br />

holds more than one investment in the same security, these are deemed to be disposed on a<br />

weighted average basis. Interest earned on holding AFS debt investments are reported as interest<br />

income using the EIR. Dividends earned on holding AFS equity investments are recognized in the<br />

statement of income as ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right of the payment has been<br />

established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized as ‘Provision<br />

for credit and impairment losses’ in the statement of income.<br />

Other financial liabilities carried at amortized cost<br />

This category represents issued financial instruments or their components, which are not<br />

designated at FVPL and comprises ‘Deposit liabilities’, ‘Subordinated notes and bills payable’,<br />

‘Treasurer’s, cashier’s and manager’s checks’, ‘Accrued interest payable’, ‘Accounts payable’,<br />

‘Bills purchased-contra’, ‘Other credits’, ‘Due to BSP’, ‘Dividends payable’, ‘Due to Treasurer of<br />

the Philippines’ and ‘Deposits for keys-Safety deposit boxes (SDB)’, where the substance of the<br />

contractual arrangement results in the Bank having an obligation either to deliver cash or another<br />

financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed<br />

amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. The<br />

components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are<br />

accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after<br />

deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the<br />

liability component on the date of issue.<br />

After initial measurement, financial liabilities not qualified as and not designated as FVPL, are<br />

subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR amortization method. Amortized cost is<br />

calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an<br />

integral part of the EIR.<br />

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities<br />

Financial asset<br />

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of financial<br />

assets) is derecognized where:<br />

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or<br />

• the Bank retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation<br />

to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement;<br />

or<br />

• the Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has<br />

transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor<br />

retained the risk and rewards of the asset but has transferred control over the asset.


- 8 -<br />

Where the Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a<br />

pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and<br />

rewards of the asset nor transferred control over the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of<br />

the Bank’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a<br />

guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of the<br />

asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Bank could be required to repay.<br />

Financial liability<br />

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or<br />

cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the<br />

same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially<br />

modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability<br />

and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is<br />

recognized in the statement of income.<br />

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements<br />

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date (‘repos’) are not<br />

derecognized from the statement of condition. The corresponding cash received, including<br />

accrued interest, is recognized in the statement of condition as a loan to the Bank, reflecting the<br />

economic substance of such transaction. The Bank had no outstanding repurchase agreements as<br />

of December 31, 2010 and 2009.<br />

Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date (‘reverse<br />

repos’) are not recognized in the statement of condition. The corresponding cash paid, including<br />

accrued interest, is recognized in the statement of condition as SPURA, and is considered a loan to<br />

the counterparty. The difference between the purchase price and resale price is treated as interest<br />

income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the EIR amortization method.<br />

Offsetting Financial Instruments<br />

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of<br />

condition if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized<br />

amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the<br />

liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the<br />

related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of condition.<br />

Impairment of Financial Assets<br />

The Bank assesses at each statement of condition date whether there is objective evidence that a financial<br />

asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be<br />

impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has<br />

occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has<br />

an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be<br />

reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of<br />

borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal<br />

payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where<br />

observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as<br />

changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.


- 9 -<br />

Financial assets carried at amortized cost<br />

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, which includes loans and receivables, due from<br />

banks and HTM investments, the Bank first assesses at each statement of condition date whether<br />

objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually<br />

significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant.<br />

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is<br />

measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the<br />

estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The<br />

present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original EIR.<br />

If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the<br />

current EIR, adjusted for the original credit risk premium. The calculation of the present value of<br />

the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may<br />

result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not<br />

foreclosure is probable.<br />

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount<br />

of loss is charged to the statement of income. Interest income continues to be recognized based on<br />

the original EIR of the asset. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance<br />

accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has<br />

been realized. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases<br />

because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized<br />

impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later<br />

recovered, any amounts formerly charged are credited to ‘Provision for credit and impairment<br />

losses’ in the statement of income.<br />

If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed<br />

financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with<br />

similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Those characteristics<br />

are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of<br />

the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being<br />

evaluated. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss<br />

is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment for impairment.<br />

Assets individually assessed for impairment for which no impairment loss was measured are also<br />

collectively assessed for impairment.<br />

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis<br />

of such credit risk characteristics as industry and age of receivables.<br />

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are<br />

estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar<br />

to those in the group.<br />

Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects<br />

of current conditions that did not affect the period in which the historical loss experience is based<br />

and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently.<br />

Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with changes in<br />

related observable data from period to period (such as changes in unemployment rates, property<br />

prices, commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in<br />

the group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future<br />

cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Bank to reduce any differences between loss estimates<br />

and actual loss experience.


- 10 -<br />

Restructured loans<br />

Where possible, the Bank seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral.<br />

This may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement on new loan conditions.<br />

Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due. Management<br />

continuously reviews restructured loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments<br />

are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subjected to an individual or collective impairment<br />

assessment, calculated using the loan’s original EIR if the original loan has fixed interest rate and<br />

the current repriced rate if the original loan is repriceable. The difference between the recorded<br />

value of the original loan and the present value of the restructured cash flows, discounted at the<br />

applicable interest rate, is recognized in ‘Provision for credit and impairment losses’ in the<br />

statement of income.<br />

AFS investments<br />

For AFS investments, the Bank assesses at each statement of condition date whether there is<br />

objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.<br />

In case of equity investments classified as AFS investments, this would include a significant or<br />

prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of<br />

impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the<br />

current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the<br />

statement of income - is removed from equity and recognized in the statement of income.<br />

Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of income.<br />

Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.<br />

In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS investments, impairment is assessed based on the<br />

same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based on the<br />

reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash<br />

flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of ‘Interest<br />

income’ in the statement of income. If, in subsequent years, the fair value of a debt instrument<br />

increased and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment<br />

loss was recognized in the statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the<br />

statement of income.<br />

Revenue and Expense Recognition<br />

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and<br />

these benefits can be measured reliably. The Bank assesses its revenue arrangements against<br />

specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Bank concluded that<br />

it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangement. The following specific recognition<br />

criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:<br />

Interest income and expense<br />

For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest bearing financial instruments<br />

classified as AFS investments, interest income is recorded at the EIR, which is the rate that exactly<br />

discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial<br />

instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset<br />

or financial liability. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial<br />

instrument (for example, prepayment options), includes any fees or incremental costs that are<br />

directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the EIR, but not future credit<br />

losses.


- 11 -<br />

The carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability is adjusted if the Bank revises its<br />

estimates of payments or receipts. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the<br />

original EIR and the change in carrying amount is recorded as interest income.<br />

Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been reduced<br />

due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original EIR used<br />

to discount future cash flows.<br />

Fee and commission income<br />

Fees earned for the provision of services over a period of time are accrued over that period. These<br />

fees include investment fund fees, custodian fees, fiduciary fees, portfolio fees, credit related fees<br />

and other service and management fees.<br />

Dividends<br />

Dividend income is recognized when the Bank’s right to receive payment is established.<br />

Trading and securities gains - net<br />

Income results from disposal of AFS investments and trading activities including all gains and<br />

losses from changes in fair value for financial assets at FVPL.<br />

Rental income<br />

Rental income arising from leased properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the<br />

lease terms on ongoing leases and is recorded in the statement of income under ‘Other operating<br />

income’.<br />

Income from sale of property and equipment, investment property and chattel mortgage properties<br />

Income from sale of properties is recognized upon completion of the earning process and the<br />

collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured.<br />

Cash and Cash Equivalents<br />

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and other cash items,<br />

amounts due from BSP and other banks, and interbank loans receivable and SPURA that are<br />

convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates<br />

of placements and that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.<br />

Business Combination and Goodwill<br />

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. This involves recognizing<br />

identifiable assets (including previously unrecognized intangible assets) and liabilities (including<br />

contingent liabilities and excluding future restructuring) of the acquired business at fair value.<br />

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is<br />

recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair values of the identifiable net<br />

assets acquired, the discount on acquisition is recognized directly in the statement of income in the<br />

year of acquisition.<br />

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the acquisition cost over the share in the<br />

net fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The Bank’s<br />

goodwill arose from past purchases of branch business/offices from the Parent Company.<br />

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.<br />

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is, from the acquisition date, allocated to<br />

each of the cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the<br />

combination, irrespective of whether the acquired other assets or liabilities are assigned to those<br />

units.


- 12 -<br />

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is<br />

disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying<br />

amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill<br />

disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed<br />

of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.<br />

Investment in an Associate<br />

Associates are entities over which the Bank has significant influence but not control, generally<br />

accompanying a shareholding of between 20.00% and 50.00% of the voting rights. The Bank’s<br />

investment in an associate represents its 25.00% interest in Toyota Financial Services Philippines<br />

Corp. (TFSPC), an entity not listed in the PSE. Investment in an associate is accounted for under<br />

the equity method of accounting.<br />

The reporting period of TFSPC is the fiscal year-ending March 31. However, TFSPC prepares<br />

financial statements for a 12-month period ending December 31 for the use of the Bank in<br />

applying the equity method. The length of the reporting period is the same from period to period.<br />

Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the<br />

Bank.<br />

Investment in a Joint Venture<br />

Investment in a joint venture represents the Bank’s interest in a jointly controlled entity, whereby<br />

the venturers have a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic<br />

activities of Sumisho Motor Finance Corporation (SMFC), an entity not listed in the PSE. The<br />

Bank’s investment in a joint venture represents its 40.00% interest in SMFC. Investment in a joint<br />

venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.<br />

The reporting period of SMFC is the calendar year ending December 31. Where necessary,<br />

adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Bank.<br />

Under the equity method, an investment in an associate and a joint venture is carried in the<br />

statement of condition at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Bank’s share in the net assets of<br />

the associate and a joint venture. Goodwill relating to an associate and a joint venture is included<br />

in the carrying value of the investment and is not amortized. The Bank’s share in an associate’s<br />

and a joint venture’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the statement of income,<br />

and its share of post-acquisition movements in the associate’s and joint venture’s other<br />

comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When the<br />

Bank’s share of losses in an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the<br />

associate or joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, the Bank does not recognize<br />

further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or<br />

joint venture. The Bank’s interest in the associate or joint venture is the carrying amount of the<br />

investment in the associate or joint venture under the equity method together with any long-term<br />

interests that form part of the Bank's net investment in the associate or joint venture. Profits and<br />

losses resulting from transactions between the Bank and an associate or joint venture are<br />

eliminated to the extent of the Bank’s interest in the associate or joint venture.<br />

Property and Equipment<br />

Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value and depreciable properties including building,<br />

furniture, fixtures and equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated<br />

depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The initial cost of property and equipment<br />

consists of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working<br />

condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the assets have been put<br />

into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged against profit or loss in the<br />

year in which the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the<br />

expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained


- 13 -<br />

from the use of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance,<br />

the expenditures are capitalized as additional cost of property and equipment.<br />

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset as follows:<br />

Buildings<br />

Furniture, fixtures and equipment<br />

Leasehold improvements<br />

25-50 years<br />

3-5 years depending on the type of assets<br />

5 years or the term of the related leases,<br />

whichever is shorter<br />

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic<br />

benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the<br />

asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of<br />

the asset) is included in the statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized.<br />

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or<br />

changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such<br />

indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the asset<br />

or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount (see policy on Impairment<br />

of Nonfinancial Assets).<br />

The asset’s residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if<br />

appropriate, at each financial year-end to ensure that these are consistent with the expected pattern<br />

of economic benefits from the items of property and equipment.<br />

Investment Properties<br />

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. An investment<br />

property acquired through an exchange transaction is measured at fair value of the asset acquired<br />

unless the fair value of such an asset cannot be measured in which case the investment property<br />

acquired is measured at the carrying amount of asset given up. Foreclosed properties are<br />

classified under investment properties from foreclosure date. Expenditures incurred after the<br />

investment properties have been put into operations, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are<br />

normally charged to income in the period in which the costs are incurred.<br />

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at cost less accumulated<br />

depreciation and impairment in value except for land which is stated at cost less impairment in<br />

value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the remaining useful lives from the<br />

time of acquisition of the investment properties.<br />

The estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets are as follows:<br />

Building and Condominium Units<br />

10-40 years<br />

Investment properties are derecognized when they have either been disposed of or when the<br />

investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its<br />

disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are<br />

recognized in the statement of income in ‘Gain (loss) on sale of investment properties’ in the year<br />

of retirement or disposal.<br />

Transfers are made to investment properties when, and only when, there is a change in use<br />

evidenced by ending of owner occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party<br />

or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment properties when,<br />

and only when, there is a change in use evidenced by commencement of owner occupation or<br />

commencement of development with a view to sale.


- 14 -<br />

Chattel Mortgage Properties<br />

Chattel mortgage properties comprise of repossessed vehicles. Chattel mortgage properties are<br />

stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated<br />

on a straight-line basis using the remaining useful lives from the time of acquisition of the<br />

vehicles. The useful lives of chattel mortgage properties are estimated to be 5 years.<br />

Intangible Assets<br />

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of<br />

intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.<br />

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated<br />

amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets,<br />

excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the<br />

statement of income in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.<br />

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets<br />

with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment<br />

whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortization<br />

period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at<br />

least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of<br />

consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the<br />

amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates.<br />

The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of<br />

income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.<br />

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually<br />

or at the cash generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortized. The useful life of an<br />

intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life<br />

assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from<br />

indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.<br />

Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference<br />

between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the<br />

statement of income when the asset is derecognized.<br />

License fees<br />

License fees arose from acquisition of branches from a local bank. License fees have indefinite<br />

useful lives and are tested for impairment on an annual basis.<br />

Software costs<br />

Software costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment in value.<br />

Given the history of rapid changes in technology, computer software are susceptible to<br />

technological obsolescence. Therefore, it is likely that their useful life is short. Software costs are<br />

amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years but maybe shorter depending on the period over<br />

which the Bank expects to use the asset.<br />

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets<br />

Property and equipment, investment and chattel mortgage properties<br />

At each statement of condition date, the Bank assesses whether there is any indication that its<br />

nonfinancial assets may be impaired. When an indicator of impairment exists or when an annual<br />

impairment testing for an asset is required, the Bank makes a formal estimate of the recoverable<br />

amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) fair value less<br />

costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not


- <strong>15</strong> -<br />

generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in<br />

which case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the cash generating unit to which it<br />

belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) exceeds its recoverable<br />

amount, the asset (or cash generating unit) is considered impaired and is written down to its<br />

recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to<br />

their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the<br />

time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or cash generating unit).<br />

An impairment loss is charged to operation in the year in which it arises.<br />

An assessment is made at each statement of condition date as to whether there is any indication<br />

that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such<br />

indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is<br />

reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable<br />

amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of<br />

the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the<br />

carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss<br />

been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of<br />

income unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a<br />

revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation expense is adjusted in future years to<br />

allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its<br />

remaining life.<br />

Goodwill<br />

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in<br />

circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.<br />

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating<br />

unit (or group of cash generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable<br />

amount of the cash generating unit (or group of cash generating units) is less than the carrying<br />

amount of the cash generating unit (or group of cash generating units) to which goodwill has been<br />

allocated, an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of income. Impairment<br />

losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount<br />

in future periods. The Bank performs its annual impairment test of goodwill at the statement of<br />

condition date.<br />

Intangible assets<br />

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at the statement of<br />

condition date either individually or at the cash generating unit level, as appropriate.<br />

Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that<br />

the intangible asset may be impaired.<br />

Investment in an associate and a joint venture<br />

After application of the equity method, the Bank determines whether it is necessary to recognize<br />

an impairment loss on the Bank’s investment in an associate and a joint venture. The Bank<br />

determines at each statement of condition date whether there is any objective evidence that the<br />

investment in an associate and a joint venture are impaired. If this is the case, the Bank calculates<br />

the amount of impairment as being the difference between the fair value of the associate and joint<br />

venture and the carrying amount and recognizes the amount in the statement of income.


- 16 -<br />

Leases<br />

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of<br />

the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on<br />

the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A<br />

reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:<br />

(a) there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;<br />

(b) a renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or<br />

extension was initially included in the lease term;<br />

(c) there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset;<br />

or<br />

(d) there is a substantial change to the asset.<br />

Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the<br />

change in circumstances gives rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c) or (d) above, and at<br />

the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b).<br />

Bank as a lessee<br />

Finance leases, which transfer to the Bank substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to<br />

ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the<br />

leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments<br />

are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a<br />

constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are reflected in<br />

the statement of income under ‘Interest expense’.<br />

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset<br />

and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Bank will obtain ownership by the<br />

end of the lease term.<br />

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership of the assets are<br />

classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the<br />

statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.<br />

Bank as a lessor<br />

Leases where the Bank does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the<br />

asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating<br />

lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on<br />

the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period in which<br />

they are earned.<br />

Retirement Cost<br />

The Bank has a funded, noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, administered by trustees,<br />

covering their permanent employees.<br />

The retirement cost of the Bank is determined using the projected unit credit method. Under this<br />

method, the current service cost is the present value of retirement benefits payable in the future<br />

with respect to services rendered in the current period.<br />

The liability recognized in the statement of condition in respect of defined benefit pension plan is<br />

the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of condition date less the fair<br />

value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past<br />

service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary<br />

using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is<br />

determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rate on government


- 17 -<br />

bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liability.<br />

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial<br />

assumptions are credited to or charged against income when the net cumulative unrecognized<br />

actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous period exceeded 10% of the higher of the<br />

defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These excess gains or<br />

losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees<br />

participating in the plan.<br />

Past-service costs, if any, are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension<br />

plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the<br />

vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the<br />

vesting period.<br />

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation<br />

less past service costs not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the<br />

obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past<br />

service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the<br />

form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.<br />

Provisions<br />

Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a<br />

result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits<br />

will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the<br />

obligation. Where the Bank expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,<br />

under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the<br />

reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the<br />

statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is<br />

material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate<br />

that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the<br />

risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the<br />

passage of time is recognized as ‘Interest expense’.<br />

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets<br />

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the<br />

possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets<br />

are not recognized but are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic<br />

benefits is probable.<br />

Debt Issue Costs<br />

Issuance, underwriting and other related expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt<br />

instruments are deferred and amortized over the terms of the instruments using the EIR method.<br />

Unamortized debt issuance costs are netted against the carrying amount of the debt instrument in<br />

the statement of condition.<br />

Income Taxes<br />

Income tax on profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is<br />

determined in accordance with Philippine tax law. Income tax is recognized in the statement of<br />

income, except to the extent that it relates to other comprehensive income items recognized<br />

directly in the statement of comprehensive income.<br />

Current income tax<br />

Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using the tax<br />

rates enacted at the statement of condition date, together with adjustments to tax payable in respect<br />

to prior years.


- 18 -<br />

Deferred income tax<br />

Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at<br />

the statement of condition date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying<br />

amounts for financial reporting purposes.<br />

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, including asset<br />

revaluation. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and<br />

carryforward of unused tax losses and tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax<br />

(MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax (RCIT), to the extent that it is probable that taxable<br />

profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of<br />

unused tax losses and MCIT can be utilized.<br />

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of condition date and<br />

reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to<br />

allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are<br />

reassessed at each statement of condition date and are recognized to the extent that it has become<br />

probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.<br />

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set<br />

off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes related to the same taxable<br />

entity and the same taxation authority.<br />

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the period<br />

when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been<br />

enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of condition date.<br />

Current tax and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in OCI is also recognized in<br />

equity and not in the statement of income.<br />

Earnings Per Share<br />

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted<br />

average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year, after giving retroactive<br />

effect to stock dividends declared, stock rights exercised and stock splits, if any, declared during<br />

the year. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no potential common shares with<br />

dilutive effect on the basic EPS of the Bank.<br />

Dividends on Common Shares<br />

Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when<br />

approved by the BOD of the Bank and the BSP. Dividends for the year that are approved after the<br />

statement of condition date are dealt with as an event after the statement of condition date.<br />

Subsequent Events<br />

Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Bank’s position at the statement<br />

of condition date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements.<br />

Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial<br />

statements when material.


- 19 -<br />

Segment Reporting<br />

The Bank’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of<br />

the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that<br />

offers different products and serves different markets. Financial information on business<br />

segments is presented in Note 6. The Bank’s assets generating revenues are all located in the<br />

Philippines (i.e., one geographical location). Therefore, geographical segment information is no<br />

longer presented.<br />

Fiduciary Activities<br />

Assets and income arising from fiduciary activities together with related undertakings to return<br />

such assets to customers are excluded from the financial statements where the Bank acts in a<br />

fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent.<br />

Standards Issued but not yet Effective<br />

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Bank’s financial statements<br />

are listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Bank reasonably<br />

expects to be applicable at a future date. The Bank intends to adopt those standards when they<br />

become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Bank does not expect the adoption of these<br />

amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretation to have significant impact on its financial statement.<br />

PAS 12, Income Taxes (Amendment) - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets<br />

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The<br />

amendment provides a practical solution to the problem of assessing whether recovery of an asset<br />

will be through use or sale. It introduces a presumption that recovery of the carrying amount of an<br />

asset will, normally, be through sale.<br />

PAS 24 (Amended), Related Party Disclosures<br />

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, <strong>2011</strong>. It<br />

clarified the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to<br />

eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of<br />

disclosure requirements for government-related entities. Early adoption is permitted for either the<br />

partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire standard.<br />

PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendment) - Classification of Rights Issues<br />

The amendment to PAS 32 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010<br />

and amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain<br />

options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro rata to all of<br />

the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity instruments, or to<br />

acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency.<br />

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments) - Disclosures-Transfers of Financial<br />

Assets<br />

The amendments of PFRS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

The amendments will allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of<br />

transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitizations), including understanding the<br />

possible effects of any risks that may remain with the entity that transferred the assets. The<br />

amendments also require additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer<br />

transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.


- 20 -<br />

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement<br />

PFRS 9, as issued in 2010, reflects the first phase of the work on the replacement of PAS 39 and<br />

applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in<br />

PAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In<br />

subsequent phases, hedge accounting and derecognition will be addressed. The completion of this<br />

project is expected in early <strong>2011</strong>. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on<br />

the classification and measurement of the Bank’s financial assets. The Bank will quantify the<br />

effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture of<br />

impact of adoption on the financial position or performance of the Bank.<br />

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-14 (Amendment) - Prepayments of a Minimum Funding<br />

Requirement<br />

The amendment to Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-14 is effective for annual periods beginning on<br />

or after January 1, <strong>2011</strong>, with retrospective application. The amendment provides guidance on<br />

assessing the recoverable amount of a net pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat<br />

the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset.<br />

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-<strong>15</strong>, Agreement for Construction of Real Estate<br />

This Interpretation, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012, covers<br />

accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real<br />

estate directly or through subcontractors. The Interpretation requires that revenue on construction<br />

of real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as<br />

construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves<br />

rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts<br />

involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks and reward of<br />

ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis will also be accounted for based on<br />

stage of completion.<br />

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments<br />

This Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010. The<br />

interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability<br />

qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In<br />

case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the fair value of the<br />

liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.<br />

Improvements to PFRSs 2010<br />

Improvements to IFRSs are an omnibus of amendments to PFRSs. The amendments have not been<br />

adopted as they become effective for annual periods on or after either July 1, 2010 or January 1,<br />

<strong>2011</strong>. The Bank, however, expects no impact from the adoption of the following amendments on<br />

its financial position or performance:<br />

• PFRS 3, Business Combinations<br />

• PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures<br />

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements<br />

• PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements<br />

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-13, Customer Loyalty Programmes


- 21 -<br />

3. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates<br />

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Bank to make<br />

judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and<br />

expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur<br />

which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The<br />

effects of any change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they<br />

become reasonably determinable.<br />

Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and<br />

other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the<br />

circumstances.<br />

Judgments<br />

(a) Operating leases<br />

Bank as lessor<br />

The Bank has entered into on its properties. The Bank has determined based on an evaluation<br />

of the terms and conditions of the arrangements (i.e., the lease does not transfer ownership of<br />

the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, the lessee has no option to purchase the<br />

asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the<br />

option is exercisable and the lease term is not for the major part of the asset’s economic life),<br />

that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are<br />

leased out on operating leases.<br />

Bank as lessee<br />

The Bank has entered into leases on premises it uses for its operations. The Bank has<br />

determined, based on the evaluation of the terms and condition of the lease agreement, that all<br />

significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties it leases on operating lease are not<br />

transferable to the Bank.<br />

(b) Fair value of financial instruments<br />

Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the statement of<br />

condition cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of<br />

valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models. The input to these models<br />

is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of<br />

judgment is required in establishing fair values. These estimates may include consideration of<br />

liquidity, volatility and correlation.<br />

(c) HTM investments<br />

The classification to HTM investment requires significant judgment. In making this<br />

judgment, the Bank evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If<br />

the Bank fails to keep these investments to maturity other than in certain specific<br />

circumstances - for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be<br />

required to reclassify the entire portfolio to AFS investments. The investments would<br />

therefore be measured at fair value and not at amortized cost.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair market value of HTM investments amounted to<br />

P=10.4 billion and P=5.1 billion, respectively (see Note 4). The carrying value of HTM<br />

investments amounted to P=9.2 billion and P=4.8 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009,<br />

respectively (see Note 8).


- 22 -<br />

(d) Financial assets not quoted in an active market<br />

The Bank classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the asset is quoted<br />

or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financial asset is quoted in<br />

an active market is the determination on whether quoted prices are readily and regularly<br />

available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market<br />

transactions on an arm’s length basis.<br />

(e) Functional currency<br />

PAS 21 requires management to use its judgment to determine the entity’s functional currency<br />

such that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions,<br />

events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, the Bank<br />

considers the following:<br />

a) the currency that mainly influences sales prices for financial instruments and services (this<br />

will often be the currency in which sales prices for its financial instruments and services<br />

are denominated and settled);<br />

b) the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and<br />

c) the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.<br />

Estimates<br />

(a) Credit losses on loans and receivables<br />

The Bank reviews its loans and receivables at each statement of condition date to assess<br />

whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the statement of income. In particular, the<br />

management estimates the amount and timing of future cash flows based on a number of<br />

factors and calculates the impairment loss. Actual results may differ, at which event, the Bank<br />

adjusts the impairment loss and ensures that allowance for it remains adequate.<br />

In addition to specific allowance against individually significant loans and receivables, the<br />

Bank also makes a collective impairment allowance against exposures which, although not<br />

specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than<br />

when originally granted. This collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the<br />

internal rating of the loan or investment since it was granted or acquired. This collective<br />

allowance is based on changes in factors that are indicative of incurred losses, such as<br />

deterioration in payment status and underlying property prices, among others.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for credit losses on loans and receivables<br />

amounted to P=4.5 billion and P=3.9 billion, respectively (see Note <strong>15</strong>). Loans and receivables<br />

are carried at P=53.2 billion and P=47.3 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively<br />

(see Note 9).<br />

(b) Valuation of unquoted AFS equity investments<br />

The Group’s investments in equity securities that do not have quoted market price in an active<br />

market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, carrying amounts of unquoted equity securities amounted<br />

to P=1.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (see Note 8).<br />

(c) Impairment of quoted AFS equity investments<br />

The Bank treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or<br />

prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of<br />

impairment exists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires<br />

judgment. The Bank treats ‘significant’ generally as 20% or more of the original cost of the<br />

investment, and ‘prolonged’, greater than 6 months. In addition, the Bank evaluates other<br />

factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities.


- 23 -<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for impairment losses on quoted AFS<br />

equity investments amounted to P=2.2 million. Quoted AFS equity investments are carried at<br />

P=3.0 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (see Note 8).<br />

(d) Impairment of nonfinancial assets<br />

Property and equipment, chattel mortgage properties, and intangible assets<br />

The Bank assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances<br />

indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the<br />

Bank considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:<br />

• significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating<br />

results;<br />

• significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall<br />

business; and<br />

• significant negative industry or economic trends.<br />

The Bank recognizes an impairment loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds<br />

its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is computed using the fair value less costs to<br />

sell for property and equipment, investment properties and chattel mortgage properties.<br />

Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cashgenerating<br />

unit to which the asset belongs. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no<br />

main events and circumstances that led to the recognition of impairment losses for<br />

individually significant investment properties.<br />

As of December 31, 2010, the carrying values of property and equipment, investment<br />

properties, intangible assets and chattel mortgage properties amounted to P=2.1 billion,<br />

P=2.8 billion, P=187.1 million and P=233.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the<br />

carrying values of property and equipment, investment properties, intangible assets and chattel<br />

mortgage properties amounted to P=2.0 billion, P=2.6 billion, P=143.9 million and P=180.4 million,<br />

respectively (see Notes 11, 12, 13 and 14).<br />

Investments in an associate and a joint venture<br />

The Bank assesses impairment on its investments in an associate and a joint venture whenever<br />

events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be<br />

recoverable. Among others, the factors that the Bank considers important which could trigger<br />

an impairment review on its investments in an associate and a joint venture include the<br />

following:<br />

• Deteriorating or poor financial condition;<br />

• Recurring net losses; and<br />

• Significant changes (i.e. technological, market, economic, or legal environment in which<br />

the subsidiary or associate operates) with an adverse effect on the subsidiary or associate<br />

have taken place during the period, or will take place in the near future.<br />

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its<br />

recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined based on the asset’s value in use.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying values of the Bank’s investments in an<br />

associate and a joint venture amounted to P=829.9 billion and P=788.3 million, respectively<br />

(see Note 10).<br />

Goodwill<br />

The Bank’s management conducts an annual review for any impairment in value of the<br />

goodwill. Goodwill is written down for impairment where the net present value of the<br />

forecasted future cash flows from the business is insufficient to support its carrying value.


- 24 -<br />

The Bank used its weighted average cost of capital in discounting the expected cash flows<br />

from specific cash generating units.<br />

Future cash flows from the business are estimated based on the theoretical annual income of<br />

the cash generating units. Average growth rate was derived from the average increase in<br />

annual income during the last 5 years.<br />

The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit has been determined based on a value-inuse<br />

calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior<br />

management covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow<br />

projections is 12.00%.<br />

Key assumptions in value-in-use calculation of cash generating units are most sensitive to the<br />

following assumptions: a.) interest margin; b.) discount rates; and c.) projected growth rates<br />

used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank’s goodwill amounted to P=53.6 million<br />

(see Note 13).<br />

(e) Fair value of investment properties<br />

The fair values of the Bank’s investment properties have been derived on the basis of recent<br />

sales of similar properties in the same areas as the investment properties and taking into<br />

account the economic conditions prevailing at the time the valuations were made.<br />

(f) Present value of retirement obligation<br />

The cost of defined benefit pension plan and other post employment benefits is determined<br />

using actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about<br />

discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, future salary increases, mortality rates<br />

and future pension increases. Due to the long term nature of this plan, such estimates are<br />

subject to significant uncertainty.<br />

The expected rate of return on plan assets of 8.44% and 6.00% as of January 1, 2010 and<br />

2009, respectively, was based on market prices prevailing on the date of valuation, applicable<br />

to the period over which the obligation is to be settled. The assumed discount rates were<br />

determined using the market yields on Philippine government bonds with terms consistent<br />

with the expected employee benefit payout as of statement of condition dates. Refer to Note<br />

24 for the details of assumptions used in the actuarial valuation.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the present value of the retirement obligation of the Bank<br />

amounted to P=647.0 million and P=512.3 million, respectively (see Note 24).<br />

(g) Recognition of deferred income taxes<br />

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that<br />

taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant<br />

management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be<br />

recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with<br />

future tax planning strategies.<br />

Estimates of future taxable income indicate that temporary differences will be realized in the<br />

future. As discussed in Note 27, net recognized deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010<br />

and 2009 amounted to P=705.4 million and P=1.3 billion, respectively.


- 25 -<br />

(h) Contingent liabilities<br />

The Bank is a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Management<br />

believes that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from these cases will not have a material<br />

effect on the Bank’s financial statements (see Note 31).<br />

(f) Estimated useful lives of property and equipment, investment properties and software cost<br />

The Bank estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment, investment properties and<br />

software cost. This estimate is reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation<br />

and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items<br />

of property and equipment and investment properties.<br />

As of December 31, 2010, carrying value of depreciable property and equipment and<br />

investment properties amounted to P=1.9 billion and P=1.2 billion, respectively. As of<br />

December 31, 2009, carrying value of depreciable property and equipment and investment<br />

properties amounted to P=1.8 billion and P=1.1 billion, respectively (see Note 11 and 12). As of<br />

December 31, 2010 and 2009, carrying value of software costs amounted to P=163.0 million<br />

and P=120.8 million, respectively (see Note 13).<br />

4. Fair Value Measurement<br />

The following describes the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair values of<br />

financial instruments:<br />

Cash and other cash items, due from BSP, due from other banks, interbank loans receivable and<br />

SPURA, accounts receivable, accrued interest receivables, bills purchased, returned checks and<br />

other cash items (RCOCI), shortages, and petty cash fund - Carrying amounts approximate fair<br />

values due to the relatively short-term maturities of these assets.<br />

Debt investments - Fair values are generally based on quoted market prices. If the market prices<br />

are not readily available, fair values are estimated using either values obtained from independent<br />

parties offering pricing services or adjusted quoted market prices of comparable investments or<br />

using the discounted cash flow methodology using rates currently available for debt on similar<br />

terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.<br />

Quoted AFS equity investments - Fair values are based on quoted prices published in markets.<br />

Unquoted AFS equity investments - Fair values could not be reliably determined due to the<br />

unpredictable nature of future cash flows and the lack of suitable methods of arriving at a reliable<br />

fair value. Hence, these investments are carried at cost less allowance for impairment losses.<br />

Currently, there is no available market to sell these unquoted AFS equity investments. The Bank<br />

will hold unto the investment until management decides to sell them when there will be offers to<br />

buy out such investments on the appearance of an available market where the investments can be<br />

sold.<br />

Receivable from customers and other receivables except accounts receivable, Accrued interest<br />

receivable, Bills purchased and Security deposits - Fair values of loans are estimated using the<br />

discounted cash flow methodology, using the Bank’s current incremental lending rates for similar<br />

types of loans.<br />

Subordinated notes and Time deposit - Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow<br />

methodology using the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings with<br />

maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued.


- 26 -<br />

Demand deposits, savings deposits, treasurer’s, cashier’s and manager’s checks, accrued interest<br />

payable, accounts payable, bills purchased-contra, other credits, dividends payable, due to<br />

Treasurer of the Philippines, due to BSP, and deposits for keys-SDB - Carrying amounts<br />

approximate fair values due to either the demand nature or the relatively short-term maturities of<br />

these liabilities.<br />

Set out below is a comparison by class of carrying amounts and fair values of financial<br />

instruments that are carried in the financial statements (in thousands):<br />

The following table shows financial instruments recognized at fair value (in thousands); analyzed<br />

among those whose fair value is based on:<br />

• Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; when fair<br />

values of listed equity and debt securities, as well as publicly traded derivatives at the<br />

reporting date are based on quoted market prices or binding dealer price quotations, without<br />

any deduction for transaction costs, the instruments are included within Level 1 of the<br />

hierarchy.<br />

• Level 2 - those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are<br />

observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from<br />

prices); for all other financial instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques.<br />

Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments<br />

for which market observable prices exist and other revaluation models; and<br />

• Level 3 - those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market<br />

data (unobservable inputs); instruments included in Level 3 are those for which there are<br />

currently no active market.

5. Financial Risk Management Policies and Objectives<br />

The Bank has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:<br />

• Credit risk<br />

• Market risk<br />

• Liquidity risk<br />

Organization risk management structure continues to be a top-down organization, with the BOD at<br />

the helm of all major initiatives.<br />

Discussed below are the relevant sections on roles and responsibilities from the Risk Management<br />

Committee (RMC) Charter:<br />

BOD<br />

The corporate powers of the Bank are vested in and are exercised by the BOD, who conducts its<br />

business and controls its property. The BOD approves broad risk management strategies and<br />

policies and ensures that risk management initiatives and activities are consistent with the Bank’s<br />

overall objectives. The BOD appoints the members of the RMC.<br />

RMC<br />

The RMC is composed of at least three BOD members who possess a range of expertise and<br />

adequate knowledge of the Bank’s risk exposures to be able to develop appropriate strategies for<br />

preventing losses and minimizing the impact of losses when they occur.<br />

The BOD may also appoint non-Directors to the RMC as part of the Metrobank Group risk<br />

oversight measures. However, only Bank Directors shall be considered as voting members of the<br />

RMC. Non-voting members are appointed in an advisory capacity.<br />

The RMC oversees the system of limits to discretionary authority that the BOD delegates to the<br />

management and ensures that the system remains effective, the limits are observed, and that<br />

immediate corrective actions are taken whenever limits are breached.


- 29 -<br />

The RMC meets on a monthly basis and is supported by the Risk Management Office (RMO). In<br />

the absence of the RMC Chairman, a non-executive Director shall preside. RMC resolutions,<br />

which require the concurrence of the majority of its voting members, are presented to the BOD for<br />

confirmation.<br />

RMO<br />

The RMO, headed by the Chief Risk Officer, is a function that is independent from the Bank’s<br />

business line functions and reports directly to the BOD, through the RMC. The RMO assists the<br />

RMC in carrying out its responsibilities by:<br />

• analyzing, communicating, implementing, and maintaining the Risk Management Policies<br />

approved by the RMC and the BOD;<br />

• spearheading the regular review of the Bank’s Risk Management Policy Manual and making<br />

or elevating recommendations that enhance the risk management process to the RMC and the<br />

BOD, for their approval;<br />

• ensuring that the risks arising from the Bank’s activities are identified, measured, analyzed,<br />

reported to and understood by Risk Takers, Management, and the Board. The RMO analyzes<br />

limit exceptions and recommends enhancements to the limits structure.<br />

The RMO does not assume risk-taking accountability nor does it have approving authority. The<br />

RMO’s role is to act as liaison and to provide support to the Board, RMC, the President, the<br />

Administrative Risk Management Committees (ARMC) and other Management Committees, Risk<br />

Takers and other Support and Control Functions on risk-related matters.<br />

President<br />

The President is the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and has the primary responsibility of<br />

carrying out the policies and objectives of the BOD. The President exercises the authorities<br />

delegated to him by the BOD and may recommend such policies and objectives he deems<br />

necessary for the continuing progress of the Bank.<br />

ARMC<br />

The ARMC is the management-level counterpart of the BOD-level RMC, and provides the latter<br />

with the necessary support of Senior Management on risk-related matters.<br />

As defined in the Risk Management Policy Manual, Senior Management is actively involved in<br />

planning, approving, reviewing and assessing all risks through various committees. The ARMC,<br />

in particular, provides a means of facilitating overall risk management.<br />

It is composed of Senior Officers with overall responsibility for the lending business, Branch<br />

Banking, Internal Audit, Compliance, Finance, Operations, Credit Administration, Treasury and<br />

Risk Management.<br />

An Executive Vice President serves as Chair and the President serves as Adviser to the ARMC.<br />

The ARMC oversees operational, credit, market and liquidity risk management, and recommends<br />

to the RMC and the BOD enhancements to the risk management policies and strategies of the<br />

Bank, including limits on decision-making, positions, transactions and exceptions.<br />

The ARMC exercises the authorities delegated to it by the RMC and the BOD, and the ARMC’s<br />

corporate acts are subject to the review and confirmation by the RMC and the BOD.


- 30 -<br />

Risk management<br />

The risk management framework aims to maintain a balance between the nature of the Bank’s<br />

businesses and the risk appetite of the BOD. Accordingly, policies and procedures are reviewed<br />

regularly and revised as the organization grows and as financial markets evolve. New policies or<br />

proposed changes in current policies are presented to the RMC and the BOD for approval.<br />

a. Credit risk and concentration of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet items<br />

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not settle its obligations in accordance with the<br />

agreed terms.<br />

The Bank’s lending business follows credit policy guidelines set by the BOD, RMC and<br />

RMO. These policies serve as minimum standards for extending credit. The people engaged<br />

in the credit process are required to understand and adhere to these policies.<br />

Product manuals are in place for all loans and deposit products that actually or potentially<br />

expose the Bank to all types of risks that may result in financial or reputational losses. They<br />

define the product and the risks associated with the product plus the corresponding riskmitigating<br />

controls. They embody the business plans and define the business parameters<br />

within which the product or activity is to be performed.<br />

The system of checks around extension of credit includes approval by at least two credit<br />

officers through CreCom, Executive Committee (ExCom) or BOD. The ARMC and RMC<br />

review the business strategies and ensure that revenue-generating activities are consistent with<br />

the risk tolerance and standard of the Bank. Regular audit and quality assurance checks are<br />

conducted across all functional units. The BOD - through the ExCom, CreCom, ARMC and<br />

RMC - ensure that sound credit policies and practices are followed through all the business<br />

segments.<br />

Credit Approval<br />

Credit approval is the documented acceptance of credit risk in the credit proposal or<br />

application.<br />

The Bank’s credit decision-making for consumer loans utilizes the recommendation of the<br />

credit scoring and is performed at the CreCom level appropriate to the size and risk of each<br />

transaction in conformity with corporate policies and procedures in regulating credit risk<br />

activities. The Bank’s ExCom may approve deviations or exceptions, while the BOD<br />

approves material exceptions such as large exposures, loans to directors, officers, stockholders<br />

and other related interests (DOSRI), and loan restructuring.<br />

Credit delegation limits are identified, tracked and reviewed at least annually by the Bank’s<br />

Senior Credit Officer together with the Credit Risk Manager.


- 31 -<br />

Borrower Eligibility<br />

The Bank’s credit processing commences when a customer expresses his intention to borrow<br />

through a credit application. The Bank gathers data on the customer; ensure they are accurate,<br />

up-to-date and adequate to meet the minimum regulatory requirements and to render credit<br />

decision. These data are used for the intended purpose only and are managed in adherence to<br />

the customer information secrecy law.<br />

The customer’s credit worthiness, repayment ability and cash flow are established before<br />

credit is extended. The Bank independently verifies critical data from the customer, ensuring<br />

compliance with Know Your Customer requirements under the Anti-Money Laundering Act<br />

of 2000. The Bank requires that customer income be derived from legitimate sources and<br />

supported with government-accepted statements of income, assets and liabilities.<br />

The Bank makes certain that a customer is capable of entering into a credit contract by<br />

accepting guarantors or sureties provided they are a relative or a financial partner who have<br />

passed its credit acceptance criteria.<br />

Loan Structure<br />

The Bank structures loans for its customers based on the customer’s capability to pay, the<br />

purpose of loan, and for collateralized loan, the collateral’s economic life and liquidation<br />

value over time.<br />

The Bank establishes debt burden guidelines and minimum income requirement to assess the<br />

customer’s capacity to pay.<br />

The Bank utilizes credit bureau data, both external and internal, to obtain information on<br />

customer’s current commitments and credit history. These are sourced from the databases of<br />

the Banker’s Association of the Philippines and the Credit Management Association of the<br />

Philippines.<br />

The Bank takes into account environmental and social issues when reviewing credit proposals<br />

of small business and commercial mortgage customers. The Bank ensures that all qualified<br />

securities pass through the BOD for approval. Assignments of securities are confirmed and<br />

insurance are properly secured.<br />

The Bank uses credit scoring models and decision systems for consumer loans as approved by<br />

the BOD.<br />

Initial loan limits are recommended by the CreCom and ExCom and approved by the BOD.<br />

The Bank ensures that secured loans are within ceilings set by local regulators. Succeeding<br />

loan availments are based on account performance and customer’s credit worthiness.<br />

The CreCom and ExCom recommend to the BOD any credit exceptions that merit approval<br />

provided they are supported by strong business rationale. The Bank relays credit approval at<br />

once thru Short Messaging Service but loan proceeds are paid out after documentations are<br />

completed.


- 32 -<br />

Credit Management<br />

The Bank maintains credit records and documents on all borrowings and capture transaction<br />

details in its loan systems. The credit risk policies and system infrastructure ensure that loans<br />

are monitored and managed at all times.<br />

The Bank’s Management Information System provides statistics that its business units need to<br />

identify opportunities for improving rewards without necessarily sacrificing risk. Statistical<br />

data on product, productivity, portfolio, profitability, performance and projection are made<br />

available regularly.<br />

The Bank conducts regular loan review through the RMC, with the support of the RMO. The<br />

Bank examines its exposures, credit risk ratios, provisions and customer segments. The<br />

Bank’s unique customer identification and unique group identification methodology enables it<br />

to aggregate credit exposures by customer or group of borrowers. Aggregate exposures of at<br />

least P=0.1 billion are put on a special monitoring.<br />

The RMC assesses the adequacy of provisions for credit losses regularly. The Bank’s<br />

automated loan grading system enables the Bank to set up provision per account. The Bank<br />

also performs impairment analyses on loans and receivables, whether on individual or<br />

collective basis, in accordance with PFRS.<br />

In 2010, the Bank carried out stress testing analyses using BOD-approved statistical models<br />

relating the default trends to changes in macroeconomic indicators. Separately, it continued to<br />

enhance its credit rating systems. The new Auto Loan and Mortgage Loan credit scoring<br />

models promise portfolio growth, with improvement in credit performance as a result of better<br />

targeting. The new Small Medium Enterprise Loan credit scoring model was run parallel with<br />

the qualitative evaluation method.<br />

Maximum Exposure to Credit Risk Without Taking Account of Any Collateral and Other<br />

Credit Enhancements<br />

The table below shows the Bank’s gross maximum credit exposure, net of allowance for credit<br />

and impairment losses, to on-and-off-financial condition credit risk exposures without<br />

Credit Quality<br />

Description of the loan grades for loans, receivables and stand-by credit lines:<br />

Internal Credit Rating System<br />

In 2010, credit quality monitoring changed to use the 10-point Internal Credit Rating System<br />

(ICRS) which maps each risk rating to the loan grading system of BSP for credit exposures.<br />

This enabled the Bank to reclassify accounts that were earlier classified as High Standard, to<br />

Standard, in view of default incidence in the past. The ICRS performance is assessed and<br />

updated regularly. Validation of the risk rating vis-à-vis actual credit losses is performed by<br />

the Credit Risk Management Unit.<br />

Neither Past Due nor Individually Impaired<br />

The Bank classifies those accounts under current status having the following loan grades:<br />

High grade (ICRS 1 - 4)<br />

Accounts belonging to this category have been rated as good by the Bank’s internal scoring<br />

system based on its defined factors. Using statistical means, the Bank has established the<br />

borrowers’ ability to meet their obligations in full and no loss is anticipated. The credit<br />

scoring system considers the combination of application data, internal and external data.<br />

Standard grade (ICRS 5 - 7)<br />

Accounts that display potential weaknesses, by the occurrence of limited or random<br />

delinquency, which when left uncorrected, may affect the repayment of the loan and increase<br />

credit risk to the Bank.<br />

Substandard grade (ICRS 8 - 10)<br />

These accounts involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the Bank because of<br />

unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics. These accounts show possibility of future<br />

loss to the Bank due to their weaknesses that may include impaired collateral or minimum<br />

repayment of loan.<br />

Unrated grade<br />

Other credit assets which cannot be classified as High, Standard or Sub-standard are tagged as<br />

Unrated.<br />

Past Due but not Individually Impaired<br />

These are accounts which are classified as delinquent but the Bank assesses that there is no<br />

objective evidence that these accounts are impaired as of statement of condition date.<br />

Individually Impaired<br />

Accounts which show evidence of impairment as of statement of condition date.

External Ratings<br />

In ensuring quality investment portfolio, the Bank uses the credit risk rating based on the<br />

rating of Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s rating) as follows:<br />

Credit Quality<br />

External Rating<br />

High grade Aaa Aa1 Aa2 Aa3 A1 A2 A3 Baa1 Baa2 Baa3<br />

Standard grade Ba1 Ba2 Ba3 B1 B2 B3<br />

Substandard grade Caa1 Caa2 Caa3 Ca C


- 37 -<br />

High grade - represents those investments which fall under any of the following grade:<br />

Aaa - fixed income obligations are judged to be of the highest quality, with the smallest<br />

degree of risk.<br />

Aa1, Aa2, Aa3 - fixed income are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low<br />

credit risk, but their susceptibility to long-term risks appears somewhat greater.<br />

A1, A2, A3 - fixed income obligations are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to<br />

low credit risk, but have elements present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment over the<br />

long term.<br />

Baa1, Baa2, Baa3 - fixed income obligations are subject to moderate credit risk. They are<br />

considered medium grade and as such protective elements may be lacking or may be<br />

characteristically unreliable.<br />

Standard grade - represents those investments which fall under any of the following grade:<br />

Ba1, Ba2, Ba3 – obligations are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to<br />

substantial credit risk.<br />

B1, B2, B3 – obligations are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.<br />

Substandard grade - represents those investments which fall under any of the following grade:<br />

Caa1, Caa2, Caa3 - are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.<br />

Ca - are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of<br />

recovery of principal and interest.<br />

C - are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for<br />

recovery of principal or interest.<br />

Impairment Assessment<br />

Impairment losses are recognized based on the results of specific (individual) and collective<br />

assessment of credit exposures. Impairment has taken place when there is a presence of<br />

known difficulties in the payments of obligation by counterparties, a significant credit rating<br />

downgrade takes place, infringement of the original terms of the contract has happened or<br />

when there is inability to pay principal or interest overdue beyond a threshold (e.g. 90 days).<br />

These and other factors, either singly or in tandem with other factors, constitute observable<br />

events or data that meet the definition of objective evidence of impairment.<br />

Individually assessed allowances<br />

The Bank determines the allowances appropriate for each significant loan or advance on an<br />

individual basis. Items considered when determining amounts of allowances include an<br />

account’s age, payment and collection history, timing of expected cash flows and realizable<br />

value of collateral.<br />

The Bank sets criteria for specific loan impairment testing and uses the discounted cash flow<br />

to compute for impairment loss. Accounts subjected to specific impairment and are found to<br />

be impaired shall be excluded from the collective impairment computation.<br />

Collectively assessed allowances<br />

Allowances are assessed collectively for losses on commercial loans and advances that are not<br />

significant or are found to be not individually impaired. Impairment losses are estimated by<br />

taking into consideration the historical losses on the portfolio and the expected receipts and<br />

recoveries once impaired. The Bank is responsible for deciding the length of historical loss<br />

period which can extend for as long as five years. The impairment allowance is then reviewed<br />

by the Bank to ensure alignment with the Bank’s overall policy.<br />

The Bank uses the Net Flow Rate method to determine the credit loss rate of a particular<br />

delinquency age bucket based on historical data of flow-through and flow-back of loans across<br />

specific delinquency age buckets. The method applies to consumer loans, as well as, salary<br />

and home equity loans granted to employees of the Bank. For commercial loans, the Bank<br />

uses Historical Loss Rate method in determining the credit loss rate based on the actual<br />

historical loss experienced by the Bank on each specific industry type.

Of the total aggregate amount of gross past due but not individually impaired loans and<br />

that the Bank held as at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was P=9.6 billion and P=9.4 billion,<br />

respectively.<br />

Collateral and Other Credit Enhancements<br />

The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the<br />

counterparty. Guidelines are implemented regarding acceptability of types of collateral and<br />

valuation parameters.<br />

The main types of collaterals obtained are as follow:<br />

- For SPURA; investment securities<br />

- For commercial lending; mortgages over real estate properties, deposit accounts and<br />

securities<br />

- For consumer lending; mortgages over real estate and chattel


- 40 -<br />

Management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in<br />

accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of collateral<br />

obtained during its review of the adequacy of the allowance for credit and impairment losses.<br />

It is the Bank’s policy to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly fashion and proceeds<br />

are used to repay or reduce the outstanding claim. In general, the Bank does not occupy<br />

repossessed properties for business use.<br />

The Bank holds collateral against loans and receivables in the form of real estate and chattel<br />

mortgages, guarantees, and other registered securities over assets. Estimates of fair value are<br />

based on the value of collateral assessed at the time of borrowing and generally are not<br />

updated except when a loan is assessed to be impaired. Generally, collateral is not held over<br />

loans and advances to banks except for SPURA. The Bank is not allowed to sell or pledge<br />

collateral held under SPURA. Collateral usually is not held against investment securities, and<br />

no such collateral was held as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The following table shows the<br />

b. Market risk<br />

Market risk management covers the areas of trading and interest rate risks. The Bank utilizes<br />

various measurement and monitoring tools to ensure that risk-taking activities are managed<br />

within instituted market risk parameters. The Bank revalues its trading portfolios on a daily<br />

basis and checks the revenue or loss generated by each portfolio in relation to their level of<br />

market risk.<br />

The Bank’s risk policies and implementing guidelines are regularly reviewed by ALCO,<br />

ARMC, RMC and BOD to ensure that these are up-to-date and in line with changes in the<br />

economy, environment and regulations. The RMC and the BOD set the comprehensive<br />

market risk limit structure and define the parameters of market activities that the Bank can<br />

engage in.<br />

Market risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from changes in the value of traded<br />

portfolios of financial instruments (trading market risk) and from movements in interest rates<br />

(interest rate risk). The Bank’s market risk originates primarily from holding peso and dollardenominated<br />

debt securities. The Bank utilizes Value-at-Risk (VaR) to measure and manage<br />

market risk exposure. VaR estimates the potential decline in the value of a portfolio, under<br />

normal market conditions, for a given confidence level over a specified holding period.<br />

Trading activities<br />

The Bank’s trading portfolios are currently composed of peso and dollar-denominated<br />

sovereign debt securities that are marked-to-market daily. The Bank also uses VaR to measure<br />

the extent of market risk exposure arising from these portfolios.<br />

VaR is a statistical measure that calculates the maximum potential loss from a portfolio over a<br />

holding period, within a given confidence level. The Bank’s current VaR model uses<br />

historical simulation for Peso and USD HFT and AFS portfolios of Reuters KVaR with<br />

confidence level at 99% and a 1 day holding period. It utilizes a 260 days rolling data most<br />

recently observed daily percentage changes in price for each asset class in its portfolio. In<br />

2009, the Bank’s VaR model used Bloomberg’s parametric model for Peso and USD HFT and<br />

AFS portfolios with confidence level at 99% and a 1 day holding period.<br />

VaR reports are prepared on a daily basis to the President, Treasury and RMO. The Bank’s<br />

BOD and management are advised whenever potential losses exceed prudent levels. VaR<br />

reports are reported to the RMC and BOD on a monthly basis.<br />

When there is a breach in VaR limits, Treasury is expected to close or reduce their position<br />

and bring it down within the limit unless approval from the President is obtained to retain the<br />

same. All breaches are reported to the President for regularization. In addition to the<br />

regularization and approval of the President, breaches in VaR limits and special approvals are<br />

likewise reported to the RMC and BOD for their information and confirmation.


- 42 -<br />

Back testing is employed to verify the effectiveness of the VaR model. The bank performs<br />

back-testing to validate the VaR model and stress testing to determine the impact of extreme<br />

market movements on the portfolios. Results of backtesting are reported to the RMC and<br />

BOD on a monthly basis. Stress testing is also conducted, based on historical maximum<br />

percentage daily movement and on an ad-hoc rate shock to estimate potential losses in a crisis<br />

situation.<br />

The Bank has established position, VaR, stop loss, loss trigger, and modified duration limits<br />

for its trading portfolios. Daily profit or loss of the trading portfolios is closely monitored<br />

against loss triggers and stop-loss.<br />

Responsibility for managing the Bank’s trading market risk remains with the RMC. With the<br />

support of RMO and the ARMC, the RMC recommends to the BOD changes in market risk<br />

limits, approving authorities and other activities that need special consideration.<br />

Discussed below are the limitations and assumptions applied by the Bank on its VaR<br />

methodology:<br />

a. VaR is a statistical estimate and thus, does not give the precise amount of loss;<br />

b. VaR is not designed to give the probability of bank failure, but only attempts to quantify<br />

losses that may arise from a bank’s exposure to market risk;<br />

c. Historical simulation does not involve any distributional assumptions, scenarios that are<br />

used in computing VaR are limited to those that occurred in the historical sample; and<br />

d. VaR systems are backward-looking. It attempts to forecast likely future losses using past<br />

data. As such, this assumes that past relationships will continue to hold in the future.<br />

Major shifts therefore (i.e. an unexpected collapse of the market) are not captured and may<br />

inflict losses much bigger than anything the VaR model may have calculated.<br />

Interest Rate Risk<br />

The Bank follows a prudent policy on managing its assets and liabilities to ensure that<br />

exposure to fluctuations in interest rates are kept within acceptable limits.<br />

One method by which the Bank measures the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities to interest<br />

rate fluctuations is by way of “gap” analysis. This analysis provides the Bank with a static<br />

view of the maturity and repricing characteristics of the positions of its statement of condition.<br />

An interest rate gap report is prepared by classifying all assets and liabilities into various time<br />

period categories according to contracted maturities or anticipated repricing dates, whichever<br />

is earlier. The difference in the amount of assets and liabilities maturing or being repriced in<br />

any time period category would then give the Bank an indication of the extent to which it is<br />

exposed to the risk of potential changes in net interest income.


- 43 -<br />

The interest rate sensitivity gap report measures interest rate risk by identifying gaps between<br />

the repricing dates of assets and liabilities. The Bank’s sensitivity gap model calculates the<br />

effect of possible rate movements on its interest rate profile.<br />

The Bank uses sensitivity gap model to estimate Earnings-at-Risk (EaR) should interest rates<br />

move against its interest rate profile. The Bank’s EaR limits are based on a percentage of the<br />

Bank’s projected earnings for the year. The Bank also performs stress-testing analysis to<br />

measure the impact of extreme interest rate movements.<br />

The ALCO is responsible for managing the Bank’s structural interest rate exposure. The<br />

ALCO’s goal is to achieve a desired overall interest rate profile while remaining flexible to<br />

interest rate movements and changes in economic conditions. The RMO, ARMC and RMC<br />

review and oversee the Bank’s interest rate risks.<br />

The tables below demonstrate the sensitivity of net interest income and equity to reasonably<br />

possible changes in interest rates. Net interest income sensitivity was calculated by assuming<br />

interest rate shifts upon repricing of floating-rate financial instruments. Equity sensitivity was<br />

computed by calculating mark-to-market changes of AFS debt instruments, assuming a<br />

parallel shift in the yield curve.<br />

Foreign Currency Risk<br />

Foreign currency risk is the risk of an investment's value changing due to an adverse<br />

movement in currency exchange rates. It arises due to a mismatch in the Bank's foreign<br />

currency assets and liabilities.


- 44 -<br />

The Bank’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within the approved<br />

position and loss limit and within existing regulatory guidelines. To compute for VaR, the<br />

Bank uses Bloomberg’s historical simulation model for USD/PHP FX position, with<br />

confidence level at 99% and a 1 day holding period. The Bank’s VaR for its foreign exchange<br />

position for trading and non-trading activities are as follow (in thousands):<br />

c. Liquidity Risk<br />

The Bank’s policy on liquidity management emphasizes on three elements of liquidity,<br />

namely, cashflow management, ability to borrow in the interbank market, and maintenance of<br />

a stock of high quality liquid assets. These three approaches complement one another with<br />

greater weight being given to a particular approach, depending upon the circumstances. The<br />

Bank’s objective in liquidity management is to ensure that the Bank has sufficient liquidity to<br />

meet obligations under normal and adverse circumstances and is able to take advantage of<br />

lending and investment opportunities as they arise.


- 45 -<br />

The main tool that the Bank uses for monitoring its liquidity is the Maximum Cumulative<br />

Outflow (MCO) reports, which is also called liquidity gap or maturity matching gap reports.<br />

The MCO is a useful tool in measuring and analyzing the Bank’s cash flow projections and<br />

monitoring liquidity risks. The liquidity gap report shows the projected cash flows of assets<br />

and liabilities representing estimated funding sources and requirements under normal<br />

conditions, which also forms the basis for the Bank’s Contingency Funding Plan (CFP). The<br />

CFP projects the Bank’s funding position during both temporary and long-term liquidity<br />

changes to help evaluate the Bank’s funding needs and strategies under changing market<br />

conditions.<br />

The Bank discourages dependence on large funds providers (LFPs) by capping the<br />

concentration of LFPs as a percentage of total deposits. This ensures that the Bank will not be<br />

vulnerable to a substantial drop in deposit level as a result of an outflow due to large<br />

depositors.<br />

Financial assets<br />

Analysis of equity and debt securities at FVPL and AFS investments into maturity groupings<br />

is based on the expected date on which these assets will be realized. For other assets, the<br />

analysis into maturity grouping is based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting<br />

period to the contractual maturity date or if earlier the expected date the assets will be<br />

realized.<br />

Financial liabilities<br />

The maturity grouping is based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting period<br />

to the contractual maturity date and does not consider the behavioral pattern of the creditors.<br />

When counterparty has a choice of when the amount is paid, the liability is allocated to the<br />

earliest period in which the Bank can be required to pay.<br />

6. Segment Information<br />

The Bank’s operating segments are organized and managed separately according to the nature of<br />

services provided and the different markets served, with each segment representing a strategic<br />

business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The Bank’s reportable<br />

segments are as follows:<br />

a. Consumer Banking - principally provides consumer-type loans generated by the Home Office;<br />

b. Corporate Banking - principally handles loans and other credit facilities for corporate and<br />

institutional customers acquired in the Home Office;<br />

c. Branch Banking - serves as the Bank’s main customer touch point which offers consumer and<br />

corporate banking products; and<br />

d. Treasury - principally handles institutional deposit accounts, providing money market, trading<br />

and treasury services, as well as managing the Bank’s funding operations by use of<br />

government securities and placements and acceptances with other banks.<br />

These segments are the bases on which the Bank reports its primary segment information. The<br />

Bank evaluates performance on the basis of information about the components of the Bank that<br />

Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) uses to make decisions about operating matters. There<br />

are no other operating segments than those identified by the Bank as reportable segments. There<br />

were no inter-segment revenues and expenses included in the financial information. The Bank has<br />

no single customer with revenues from which is 10.00% or more of the Bank’s total revenue.


- 48 -<br />

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary<br />

of significant accounting policies. Primary segment information (by business segment) for the<br />

Generally, NPLs refer to loans and receivables whose principal and/or interest is unpaid for<br />

thirty (30) days or more after due date or after they have become past due in accordance with<br />

existing BSP rules and regulations. This shall apply to loans payable in lump sum and loans<br />

payable in quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments, in which case, the total outstanding<br />

balance thereof shall be considered nonperforming.<br />

In the case of loans and receivables that are payable in monthly installments, the total<br />

outstanding balance thereof shall be considered nonperforming when three (3) or more<br />

installments are in arrears.<br />

In the case of loans and receivables that are payable in daily, weekly, or semi-monthly<br />

installments, the total outstanding balance thereof shall be considered nonperforming at the<br />

same time that they become past due in accordance with existing BSP regulations, i.e., the<br />

entire outstanding balance of the receivable shall be considered as past due when the total<br />

amount of arrearages reaches ten percent (10%) of the total receivable balance.


- 55 -<br />

Loans and receivables are classified as nonperforming in accordance with BSP regulations, or<br />

when, in the opinion of management, collection of interest or principal is doubtful.<br />

Receivables are not reclassified as performing until interest and principal payments are<br />

brought current or the loans are restructured in accordance with existing BSP regulations, and<br />

future payments appear assured.<br />

Restructured loans and receivables which do not meet the requirements to be treated as<br />

performing receivables shall also be considered as NPLs.<br />

Current banking regulations allow banks with no unbooked valuation reserves and capital<br />

adjustments to exclude from nonperforming classification loans classified as Loss in the latest<br />

examination of the BSP which are fully covered by allowance for credit and impairment<br />

losses, provided that interest on said receivables shall not be accrued.<br />

Capital Management<br />

The primary objectives of the Bank’s capital management are to ensure that the Bank<br />

complies with externally imposed capital requirements, as mandated by the BSP, and that<br />

the Bank maintains healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize<br />

returns for its shareholders. The Bank considers its paid in capital and surplus as its<br />

capital.<br />

The Bank manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in<br />

economic conditions and the risk characteristic of its activities. In order to maintain or<br />

adjust the capital structure, the Bank may adjust the amount of dividend payment to<br />

shareholders or issue capital securities. The major activities in this area include the<br />

following:<br />

• On March 2, 2005, the Bank’s BOD approved an amendment to the Bank’s Dividend<br />

Policy which provides for an annual regular cash dividend of 6.00% of the par value<br />

of the total capital stock payable quarterly at the rate of 1.50% or P=0.<strong>15</strong> per share<br />

payable not later than March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each<br />

year.<br />

• The Bank has issued additional common shares for its qualified stockholders in 2008<br />

and 2006 through stock rights offerings that raised P=2.0 billion and P=750.0 million in<br />

capital, respectively.

Regulatory Capital<br />

Under Section 9 of the Thrift Banks Act, the combined capital accounts of each bank<br />

should not be less than an amount equal to 10.00% of its risk assets. Risk assets consist<br />

of total assets after exclusion of cash on hand, due from BSP, loans covered by hold out<br />

or assignment of deposits, loans or acceptances under letters of credit to the extent<br />

covered by margin deposits and other non-risk items as determined by the Monetary<br />

Board.<br />

On June 2, 2006, the Monetary Board of the BSP approved major revisions to the riskbased<br />

capital adequacy framework which took effect on July 1, 2007, to align the existing<br />

Basel I-compliant framework with the new Basel II standards. As approved, the BSP<br />

decided to maintain the present minimum overall capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of banks<br />

and quasi-banks at 10.00%. However, consistent with Basel II recommendations, it<br />

approved major methodological revisions to the calculation of minimum capital that<br />

universal banks, commercial banks and their subsidiary banks and quasi-banks should<br />

hold against actual credit risk exposures.<br />

The guidelines for allocating minimum capital to cover market risk was also amended to<br />

some extent, primarily to align specific market risk charges on trading book assets with<br />

the revised credit risk exposure guidelines. A completely new feature is the introduction<br />

of bank capital charge for operational risk. The required disclosures to the public of bank<br />

capital structure and risk exposures are also enhanced to promote greater market<br />

discipline in line with the so-called Pillar 3 of the Basel II recommendations.<br />

The determination of the Bank’s compliance with regulatory requirements and ratios is<br />

based on the amount of the Bank’s “unimpaired capital” (regulatory net worth) as<br />

reported to the BSP, which is determined on the basis of regulatory accounting practices<br />

which differ from PFRS in some respects.<br />

The Bank complied with all externally imposed capital requirement throughout the<br />

period.<br />

The table below shows the Bank’s CAR as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 as reported to<br />

the BSP (in millions).<br />

2010 2009<br />

Tier 1 capital P=9,960 P=9,433<br />

Tier 2 capital 2,506 2,397<br />

Gross qualifying capital 12,466 11,830<br />

Less required deductions 1,844 2,489<br />

Total qualifying capital P=10,622 P=9,341<br />

Risk weighted assets P=69,091 P=64,693<br />

Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio 12.35% 11.34%<br />

Capital adequacy ratio <strong>15</strong>.37% 14.44%<br />

Regulatory capital consists of Tier 1 capital, which comprises capital stock, surplus,<br />

surplus reserves, cumulative translation adjustment and net unrealized losses on AFS<br />

investments. Certain adjustments are made to PFRS-based results and reserves, as<br />

prescribed by the BSP. The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 capital, which<br />

is comprised of the Bank’s subordinated notes. Certain items are deducted from the<br />

regulatory Gross Qualifying Capital, such as but not limited to equity investments in<br />

financial allied undertakings, but excluding insurance companies (for solo basis);<br />

investments in debt capital instruments of unconsolidated subsidiary banks (for solo<br />

basis); equity investments in subsidiary insurance companies and subsidiary non-financial<br />

allied undertakings; and reciprocal investments in equity of other banks/enterprises.


- 69 -<br />

Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning defined risk weights to amounts of onstatement<br />

of condition exposures and to the credit equivalent amounts of off-statement of<br />

condition exposures. Certain items are deducted from risk-weighted assets, such as the<br />

excess of general loan loss provision over the amount permitted to be included in Tier 2<br />

capital.<br />

The issuance of BSP Circular No. 639 covering the Internal Capital Adequacy<br />

Assessment Process (ICAAP) in 2009 supplements the BSP’s risk-based capital adequacy<br />

framework under Circular No. 538. In compliance with this new circular, the Metrobank<br />

Group has adopted and developed its ICAAP framework to ensure that appropriate level<br />

and quality of capital are maintained by the Group. Under this framework, the assessment<br />

of risks extends beyond the Pillar 1 set of credit, market and operational risks and onto<br />

other risks deemed material by the Group. The level and structure of capital are assessed<br />

and determined in light of the Group’s business environment, plans, performance, risks<br />

and budget; as well as regulatory edicts. The Bank follows the Group’s ICAAP<br />

framework and submits the result of its assessment to the Parent Company. The BSP<br />

requires submission of an ICAAP document on a group-wide basis every January 31. The<br />

Group through the Parent Company has complied with the submission deadline of the<br />

first final ICAAP document.<br />

The Bank expects to contribute P=<strong>15</strong>5.5 million to its noncontributory defined benefit plan<br />

in <strong>2011</strong>. The major categories of plan assets as a percentage of the fair value of total plan<br />

assets are as follow:<br />

2010 2009<br />

Equity instruments 90.4% 95.77%<br />

Other assets 9.6% 4.23%<br />

Other assets include investment in savings and time deposits, and accrued interest<br />

receivable.<br />

The following table shows the aggregate fair value of equity instruments included in the<br />

plan assets:<br />

The principal actuarial assumptions used in determining retirement liability as of January<br />

1, 2010 and 2009 are shown below:<br />

2010 2009<br />

Average remaining working life 21 21<br />

Discount rate 10.56% 34.00%<br />

Expected rate of return on assets 8.44% 6.00%<br />

Future salary increases 8.00% 10.00%


- 72 -<br />

The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on market prices<br />

prevailing on the date of the valuation, applicable to the period over which the obligation<br />

is to be settled.<br />

As of December 31, 2010, the discount rate used in determining retirement obligation is<br />

11.16%. There has been a widening spread between the rates of return on risk-free fixed<br />

income securities and the rates of return on high quality fixed-income securities that<br />

reflect credit or risk premiums in 2008. This increased spread has resulted in higher<br />

yields-to-maturity and, accordingly, higher discount rates.<br />

25. Leases<br />

The Bank leases the premises occupied by its branches for periods ranging from 1 to 20<br />

years renewable under certain terms and conditions. Various lease contracts include<br />

escalation clauses, most of which bear an annual rent increase of 10.00%. Rentals<br />

charged against profit or loss<br />

under these lease contracts amounting to P=293.2 million in 2010, P=261.8 million in 2009<br />

and<br />

P=209.5 million in 2008 are shown under ‘Occupancy and equipment-related costs’ in the<br />

amounting to P=9.25 million and P=6.72 million, respectively, for the successful completion<br />

of the collective bargaining agreement, while there is no payment made to union members<br />

in 2008.<br />

27. Income and Other Taxes<br />

Under Philippine tax laws, the Bank is subject to percentage and other taxes (presented as<br />

‘Taxes and licenses’ in the statement of income) as well as income taxes. Percentage and<br />

other taxes paid consist principally of gross receipts tax (GRT) and documentary stamps<br />

taxes (DST).<br />

Income taxes include corporate income tax, discussed below, and final taxes paid at the<br />

rate of 20.00%, which is a final withholding tax on gross interest income from<br />

government securities, and other deposit substitutes.<br />

Current tax regulations provide that the RCIT rate shall be 35.00% until December 31,<br />

2008. Starting January 1, 2009, the RCIT rate shall be 30.00%. The interest allowed as a<br />

deductible expense is reduced by 42.00% of interest income subjected to final tax under<br />

the 35.00% corporate tax regime and 33.00% under the 30.00% corporate tax regime.


- 74 -<br />

RA No. 9504, An Act Amending National Internal Revenue Code, provides that starting<br />

July 1, 2008, the optional standards deduction (OSD) equivalent to 40.00% of gross<br />

income may be claimed as an alternative deduction in computing for the RCIT. The Bank<br />

elected to claim itemized expense deductions instead of the OSD in computing for the<br />

RCIT in 2010 and 2009.<br />

Current tax regulations also provide for the ceiling on the amount of EAR expense that<br />

can be claimed as a deduction against taxable income. Under the regulations, EAR<br />

expense allowed as a deductible expense for a service company is limited to the actual<br />

EAR paid or incurred but not to exceed 1.00% of net revenue. The regulations also<br />

provide for MCIT of 2.00% on modified gross income and allow a NOLCO. The MCIT<br />

and NOLCO may be applied against the Bank’s income tax liability and taxable income,<br />

respectively, over a three-year period from the year of inception.<br />

FCDU offshore income (income from non-residents) is tax-exempt while gross onshore<br />

income (income from residents) is subject to 10.00% income tax. In addition, interest<br />

income on deposit placements with other FCDUs and offshore banking units (OBUs) is<br />

taxed at 7.50%.<br />

Under current tax regulation, the income derived by the FCDU from foreign currency<br />

transactions with non-residents, OBUs, local commercial banks, including branches of<br />

foreign banks, is tax-exempt while interest income on foreign currency loans from<br />

residents other than OBUs or other depository banks under the expanded system is subject<br />

to 10.00% income tax.<br />

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has loans and other transactions with its<br />

affiliates, and with certain DOSRI. Under the Bank's policy, these loans and other<br />

transactions are made substantially on the same terms as with other individuals and<br />

businesses of comparable risks. The General Banking Law limits the amount of direct<br />

credit accommodations to DOSRI, 70.00% of which must be secured and should not<br />

exceed the total of their respective deposits and book value of their respective investments<br />

in the Bank. In the aggregate, loans to DOSRI generally should not exceed the lower of<br />

the Bank's total equity or <strong>15</strong>.00% of the Bank's total loan portfolio.<br />
