Financial Statement<br />

During the relocation and construction of the Nasulo Power Plant, the Company incurred general<br />

borrowings used to fund the project. In 2014, the borrowing costs capitalized in connection with<br />

the project amounted to ₱14.4 million with capitalization rate of 6.3% per annum.<br />

The Company performed testing run from April 2014 to July 20, 2014. The total revenue<br />

generated from testing amounted to ₱343.5 million. Out of this amount, ₱99.8 million was offset<br />

against the costs of testing whether the assets are functioning properly.<br />

On July 21, 2014, the Parent Company declared that the Nasulo Power Plant, after achieving a<br />

capacity of 49.4 MW, was already complete and in the condition necessary for it to operate as<br />

intended by management. Consequently, the total cost of the newly constructed assets was<br />

reclassified from “Construction in progress” to “Power Plants” category. Upon completion of the<br />

Nasulo Power Plant, the adjacent Nasuji Power Plant with capacity of 20 MW has been placed on<br />

preservation mode.<br />

In light of the completion of the Nasulo Power Plant, the Parent Company has determined that the<br />

impairment loss previously recognized on assets transferred to and installed in Nasulo (from<br />

NNGP) must be reversed as the service potential of those assets has now been established.<br />

Accordingly, reversal of impairment loss amounting to ₱2,051.9 million was recognized in 2014<br />

representing the net book value of assets installed in Nasulo Power Plant had there been no<br />

impairment loss previously recognized on these assets. The corresponding deferred tax asset<br />

amounting to ₱205.2 million has likewise been reversed. No similar reversal was recognized in<br />

<strong>2016</strong> and 2015.<br />

From originally being part of the NNGP CGU, the related assets have now become part of the<br />

CGU consisting of Nasulo/Nasuji steam field and power plants. The recoverable amount of such<br />

CGU as of July 31, 2014, the effective date of the reversal, determined by the Parent Company is<br />

estimated to be at ₱15,673.6 million, representing the value in use computed using 8.7% pre-tax<br />

discount rate. The amount of reversal of impairment was presented under NIGBU operating<br />

segment since the CGU is located in Negros Island (see Note 5).<br />

Completion of the Rehabilitation of Bac-Man Geothermal Power Plants (BMGPP)<br />

On May 5, 2010, BGI acquired the BMGPP in an auction conducted by PSALM where BGI<br />

submitted the highest offer price of US$28.3 million.<br />

Located in Bacon, Sorsogon City and Manito, Albay in the Bicol region, the BMGPP package<br />

consists of two steam field complexes. The Bac-Man I power plant has two 55-MW generating<br />

units (Unit 1 and Unit 2), while Bac-Man II power plant has one 20-MW generating units (Unit 3).<br />

<strong>EDC</strong> supplies the steam that fuels these power plants.<br />

Units 1, 2 and 3 became available for use on January 28, 2014, June 3, 2014 and October 1, 2013,<br />

respectively. Total borrowing costs capitalized to the project amounted to ₱9.5 million in 2014<br />

from general borrowings using a capitalization rate of 6.5% per annum. The total cost reclassified<br />

from construction in progress to power plant account amounted to ₱1,574.4 million,<br />

₱2,178.7 million and ₱551.3 million for Units 1, 2 and 3, respectively.<br />

In October 2014, the turbine retrofitting for Bac-Man Unit 2 was completed, increasing its<br />

capacity to 60 MW. Similarly, on February 20, 2015, the Company completed the installation of<br />

the brand new Toshiba steam turbine rotor unit and diaphragms for its Unit 1, increasing its<br />

capacity to 60 MW.<br />
