(In the Notes, all amounts in Philippine Peso unless stated otherwise)
Note 1 - Business information
1.1 General information
Philippine Business for the Environment, Inc. (the “Organization”) is a non-stock, non-profit
organization organized in the Philippines and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on January 15, 1992, primarily to promote ecologically sustainable industrial and agricultural
development, with the initiative of business and the active participation of communities, government
and
non-governmental organizations (NGO) through clean production that provides for human needs and
development without degrading the ecology. The operations of the Organization are financed by
contributions or donations of members as well as by incidental income derived from the pursuit of its
activities such as seminars, workshops, and subscriptions to the Business and Environment magazine.
The Organization, pursuant to Section 30 of the Tax Reform Act of 1997, is exempt from income tax on
the financial support it receives. The registration, however, does not apply to income derived from the
use of the Organization's properties, real or personal, or from any of its activities conducted for profit
regardless of the disposition made of such income.
On May 30, 2006, the Organization, having been duly accredited by the Philippine Council for NGO
Certification (PCNC), was registered with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as a donee institution
in accordance with the provisions of Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 13-98 dated January 1, 1999.
Under its registration, the donation received by the Organization shall entitle the donor to full or
limited deduction pursuant to Sec. 34H-1 or 2 and exemption from donor's tax pursuant to Sec. 101A3 of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) of 1997. The Certificate of Registration No. 0572006 shall be valid for 3 years from date of issuance on May 30, 2006 unless sooner revoked by the
BIR for violation of any provisions of RR No. 13-98 or upon withdrawal of the Certificate of
Accreditation by PCNC. The Organization acquired its re-accreditation with PCNC on April 12, 2010.
The Organization’s registered office address, which is also its principal place of office, is located at the
Ground Floor, Lower Level, Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) Building, San Miguel
Avenue, Pasig City.

1.2
Approval of financial statements
These financial statements have been approved and authorized for issuance by Edgar O. Chua,
Chairman, on behalf of the Board of Trustees on August 1, 2012.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
These financial statements of the Organization have been prepared in accordance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities (PFRS for SMEs) issued by the
Financial Reporting Standards Council.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1
Basis of preparation
For Philippine financial reporting purposes, PFRS for SMEs shall cover corporations that:
(a) Have total assets of between P3 million and P350 million or total liabilities between P3 million and
P250 million based on the entity’s audited financial statements in prior year;
(b) Are not required to file financial statements under Part II of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC)
Rule 68 (unlisted and non-public entities);
(c) Are not in the process of filing financial statements for the purpose of issuing any class of
instruments in a public market; and
(d) Are not holders of secondary licenses issued by regulatory agencies such as banks, investment
houses, finance companies, securities broker/dealers, mutual funds and pre-need companies.
The Organization continues to qualify as an SME based on its total assets as at December 31, 2011 and
2010.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the PFRS for SMEs requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of
applying the group’s accounting policies. There are no areas involving a higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements.
2
2.2 Fund accounting
The financial transactions of the Organization are recorded and reported in accordance with the
principles of fund accounting to ensure the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use
of its available resources. Fund accounting classifies the Organization’s resources into fund groups
based on their nature and purpose.
The assets, liabilities and fund balances of the Organization are reported in two self-balancing fund
groups as follows:
General fund
General fund pertains to funds available for use in general operations and current activities of the
Organization consisting of membership fees, donations and contributions by members and business
enterprises in the Philippines.
Special fund
Special fund pertains to funds which is restricted for purposes specified by donors and grantors.
Unused fund of completed projects are returned to the donor or transferred to the general fund in the
absence of donor-imposed restriction.
2.3
Financial instruments
Classification
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Organization classifies its financial instruments
into basic financial instruments and complex financial instruments.
The Organization does not have complex financial instruments during and at the end of each
reporting period.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are included in current assets and current liabilities, except
for maturities longer than twelve (12) months after the reporting period, which are then classified as
non-current assets or non-current liabilities, respectively.
The Organization’s basic financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, certain other
receivables, other non-current assets and certain accrued expenses and other payables.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Deposits held at call
with banks and short-term highly liquid investments earn interest at the prevailing bank deposit
rates.
Other receivables consist mainly of receivables from membership fees. Advances to employees subject to
liquidation are considered non-financial assets.
3
Other non-current assets consist mainly of refundable deposits to guarantee the faithful compliance of
the lessee of all the terms and conditions of the contract. Refundable deposits are non-interest bearing
and are assumed to approximate its fair value as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Certain accrued expenses and other payables consisting of utilities and other general and administrative
expenses are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from suppliers. Withholding taxes payable included in accrued expenses and other payables are
considered non-financial liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized only when the Organization becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at the transaction price and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or the Company
has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is settled, discharged, cancelled or has
expired.
Impairment of financial assets
The Organization assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence of
impairment of any financial assets measured at amortized cost. Objective evidence that a financial
asset or group of financial assets is impaired includes observable data that come to the attention of
the holder of the asset about the following loss events:
-
Significant financial difficulty of a debtor;
It becomes probable that a debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; and
Observable data indicating that there has been a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash
flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, even though the
decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group, such as adverse
national or local economic conditions or adverse changes in industry condition.
If there is objective evidence of impairment, the Organization shall recognize an impairment loss in
the statement of total comprehensive income immediately. The amount of impairment loss is
measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
4
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an
improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the Organization shall reverse the previously recognized
impairment loss either directly in the statement of total comprehensive income or by adjusting the
allowance account. When a financial asset remains uncollectible after the Organization has exerted all
legal remedies, it is written-off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written-off are recognized in the statement of total comprehensive income within other
income.
2.4 Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recognized in the statement of financial position if it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Organization and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably.
Property and equipment are measured initially at cost. Cost includes the purchase price and other
expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary
for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Following the initial
recognition, property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment loss.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are
incurred.
Depreciation on assets is computed using the straight-line method to allocate their costs less their
residual values over the following estimated useful lives determined based on collective assessment of
practices for similar businesses and historical experience in the use of such assets:
Office equipment
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
5 years
The asset’s residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted
prospectively if appropriate, if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting
period.
The Organization’s property and equipment are assessed at the end of each reporting period to
determine whether there are any indications that the assets are impaired. Where there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to
which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the
amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows. Property and equipment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment
at the end of each reporting period.
5
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal at which time the cost and the related accumulated
depreciation are removed in the statement of financial position. Any gains and losses on disposals are
determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in
the statement of total comprehensive income within other income or expense.
2.5 Support and expenses
2.5.1
Support
Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in the ordinary
course of the Organization’s activities. Revenue is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits
will flow to the Organization, these benefits can be measured reliably and specific criteria have been met
for each of the activities as described below.
(a)
Support derived primarily from donations, grants, contributions, sponsorships and seminar
fees are recognized when received.
(b)
Interest income on bank deposits and short-term placements, which is presented net of final
taxes paid or withheld, is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest
method.
2.5.2
Expenses
Expenses are recognized when incurred and presented in the statement of total comprehensive income
according to their nature.
2.6 Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, compensated absences and other non-monetary benefits are recognized in the period
the related services are rendered by the employees of the Organization. Short-term employee benefit
obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis.
2.7
Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received
from the lessor) are charged to the statement of total comprehensive income on a straight-line basis
over the period of the lease.
6
2.8
Foreign currency transactions and translations
2.8.1
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Branch are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). These
financial statements are presented in US dollar, which is the Branch’s functional and presentation
currency.
2.8.2
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Philippine Peso using the exchange rates prevailing
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
foreign currency transactions and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of total
comprehensive income.
