TRIBUTE Amb. Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr. BCII’s growth from a one-plant company to a holding company with the leadership position in the country’s cement industry, and with significant interests in steel roofing, energy and mining, paper and packaging, property development and, more recently, education. RVR’s influence went beyond the corporations he built. Early in his career, he organized the first Philippine chapter of the Jaycees and later became the first Asian elected as World President of the Junior Chamber International. He also joined a group of pioneering business leaders that established the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). In 1978, RVR stepped into the arena of government service, with his appointment as Philippine Ambassador to Canada, and later went on to serve as Ambassador to Germany, and then Ambassador to Japan, until 1992. In September 2008, the BCII family bade farewell to our founder and Chairman Emeritus, Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr., fondly referred to by most as “RVR”. In 1957, RVR established Phinma and, together with Atty. Ernesto Escaler, spearheaded a group of local entrepreneurs that successfully bid for the Cebu Portland Cement (CEPOC) plant in Bacnotan, La Union. On March 12, 1957, the group established Bacnotan Cement Industries, Inc. (later renamed Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc.) with RVR as its Founding President. Over the company’s fifty two year history, RVR oversaw As a private citizen, he served as an adviser to various charitable organizations, but was perhaps most involved as Vice Chairman of Caritas Manila, where he was active in the Caritas Restorative Justice Ministry through which he personally reached out and assisted prisoners. He believed, as he once said, that “to leave a lasting legacy of your life here on earth, you should espouse causes which are greater than your own.” RVR is missed, but he continues to serve as our inspiration to be true professionals and to be men for others. We at BCII have all pledged to pay tribute to him by continuing his tradition of professionalism and service to others, and to be good stewards of the companies he has built over the years. “To leave a lasting legacy of your life here on earth, you should espouse causes which are greater than your own.” Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Message to our Shareholders As you may recall, after the sale by your Company of its investment in cement companies, we laid out our company’s plans for the future and formulated a new mission statement. This mission is to help build our nation through competitive and wellmanaged business enterprises that enable Filipinos to attain a better quality of life. In particular, we aim to build decent and affordable homes in wholesome communities, offer affordable high quality education, provide reliable and affordable power and offer attractive investment opportunities and sound investment advice to encourage capital formation. In pursuit of our mission of making life better for our fellow Filipinos, this past year has been dedicated to remolding our companies and laying the groundwork for growth in the coming years. A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Education EDUCATION This year, the company took major steps in the education business, with intensive discussions and negotiations that laid the groundwork for two major acquisitions. As a result the Company succeeded in acquiring early in 2009 a 70% stake in University of Pangasinan (Upang) in Dagupan City. Upang is the leading educational institution in Pangasinan, with total enrolled base of 9,300 students, offering courses in nursing, engineering, and accountancy, among others. Soon after its acquisition of Upang, the Company acquired a 70% interest in University of Iloilo (UI). Located in Iloilo City, UI currently serves approximately 7,200 students and offers courses in nursing, criminology, hotel and restaurant management, and accountancy. We believe both UPang and UI are apt additions to the Company’s portfolio of schools. Both schools present attractive growth prospects, both being located in fast-growing areas with a significant student population. These acquisitions bring to four (4) the number of schools owned by Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. (BCII), with a total student base of 27,000. Collectively, these schools now represent BCII’s biggest investment, reflecting our belief in the importance of education in nationbuilding. For our first two schools, Araullo University (AU) and Cagayan de Oro College (COC), our efforts since acquisition have been focused on upgrading academic quality. Toward this end, AU and COC have implemented stricter academic retention policies and course requirements, and have emphasized faculty training and development. The results have been encouraging; in 2008, board passing rates for first-timers in criminology, education, accounting and engineering have improved and exceeded national passing rates. However, for the academic year 2008-2009, AU and COC experienced a 3% decline in the number of enrollees. This decline is reflective of the slowdown in the economy, as both schools cater to tuition-sensitive markets which are highly vulnerable in a downturn. To assist our Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Housing HOUSING students, our schools aim to improve work-study programs and increase scholarships and financial aid. During the year, AU and COC also continued to operate under increased competition from a growing number of state and local government schools. COC, however, experienced a growth in freshman enrollment, indicating potential growth possibilities. For the calendar year 2008, Araullo University and Cagayan de Oro College posted net income of P19.9 million and P11.9 million respectively. Our challenge in this sector is to continue to deliver the best possible education we can provide our students while maintaining affordable tuition fees and providing a decent return to our shareholders. Phinma Property Holdings Corporation (PPHC), BCII’s affiliate in the housing sector, continues to deliver to the public affordable units in mediumrise buildings. PPHC offers good-value housing options in wholesome communities within Metro Manila, with units starting at less than P1 million. Its projects continue to be well-received by the market, and its amenities and design have gained the nod of the public. Last year, PPHC’s Spazio Bernardo was awarded Best Condo Design by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board. The year 2008 was a landmark year for PPHC, as the company achieved revenues of P1.0 billion. This was in large part due to the sale of units in San Benissa Garden Villas in Quezon City and Fountain Breeze in Sucat, Paranaque. The company also unlocked asset values with the sale of its property in Quezon City A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. to the Philippine government for P140 million for an important road extension project that will link Commonwealth Avenue to Quirino Highway. In 2009, PPHC expects to launch the 840-unit Sofia Bellevue and the 870-unit Flora Vista, both in Quezon City. Also in the pipeline are other projects in various parts of Metro Manila. Union Galvasteel Corporation (UGC), BCII’s steel roofing subsidiary, faced unprecedented market conditions in 2008; the spiralling prices for the industry’s material inputs put pressure on domestic prices and adversely affected demand. Towards yearend, the U.S. financial crisis caused the sudden fall in commodity prices. As a result, sales volume of UGC decreased 2% during the year, from 39.0 thousand metric tons in 2007 to 38.2 thousand metric tons in 2008. Nevertheless, UGC capped the year with a net income of over P140 million, up 74% from income of P80.9 million in 2007. This remarkable performance stemmed from forward buying positions for UGC’s material requirements and the successful implementation of price adjustments to ease the impact of sharp increases in production inputs. During the year, UGC’s Polyurethane Line started commercial operations to manufacture insulated panels for cold chain storage facilities in the agro-industrial markets. This line will further enhance the company’s strategy to produce and sell higher-margin products to serve new markets. With many sectors seriously hit by the global economic recession, demand in 2009 is expected to weaken, and depressed prices are likely to squeeze profits. However, UGC is well-positioned to operate during this downturn Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Business Process Outsourcing because of its strong financial position, nationwide distributorship network, its efficient and reliable production facilities and its wider range of high value products. This new investment showcases to the world Filipino talent and creativity. Employing some 800 animators and support staff, Toon City also keeps world-class talent home and brings to the Philippines much-needed jobs from abroad. BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING ENERGY We had also earlier made it our mission to aggressively seek new opportunities in the services sector which are globally competitive and which will provide attractive returns for our shareholders. Toward this end, the company has ventured into business process outsourcing, in particular outsourced animation production services. The Company invested $6.734 million for an 80% interest in One Animate Limited, a company which owns a ninety five (95%) interest in Toon City Animation, Inc. (Toon City). The latter is an awardwinning animation studio providing 2D, Flash and 3D CGI animation services and counts among its clients international names like Walt Disney and Universal Studios. Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corporation (TA Oil) and its subsidiaries, Trans-Asia Power Generation Corporation (TA Power) and CIP II Power Corporation (CIPP), continued to provide affordable and reliable power to their respective markets. During the year, energy generated and sold by TA Power totalled 116 GWh. Of this volume, 61GWh was supplied to its main customer Holcim Philippines, Inc. while 55 GWh was exported to the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM). Electricity sales of CIPP remained at 89.9 GWh. A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Financial Services FINANCIAL SERVICES TA Oil continued its active participation in electricity trading through WESM, buying requirements of its customers, and selling the excess generation of affiliate TA Power. TA Oil and its subsidiaries ended the year with consolidated net income of P88.4 million, or 13% higher than income of P78.2 million the previous year. Trading of electricity, which started last year, contributed to the increase in consolidated revenues from P1.4 billion in 2007 to P1.6 billion in 2008. Late last year, TA Oil took significant strides towards renewable energy development, particularly in wind resource development. Prospects for wind farm projects are currently being pursued in several sites. We are encouraged by the results of a pre-feasibility study which indicates viable wind capacity in Guimaras island, along with 37 other sites being surveyed. The year was particularly tough for AB Capital and Investment Corporation (AB Capital), the Company’s investee in the financial services sector. During the second half of 2008, the global financial crisis took a turn for the worst. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 34% during the year, while the local equity market dropped 48%. For 2008, the company turned in revenues of P176 million and earned income before provision of P65 million; however, as a result of the slump in the financial markets, AB Capital booked a mark-to-market loss of P 132.6 million, and sustained a net loss of P80 million for the year. AB Capital and other financial institutions will continue to face ambiguities in the markets this year and continues to identify short- and long-term measures that will address the difficulties expected to prevail in these trying times. However, AB Capital is supported by a solid balance sheet, with total assets of P1.2 billion and equity at P1.1 billion. PARENT COMPANY Energy The parent company contributed income of P69 million, excluding dividends of P166 million from the above investee companies. The company benefited from the strengthening of the dollar, and booked a foreign exchange gain of P181 million, or P120 million net Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. We look to the immediate future with guarded optimism, knowing that the coming months will be challenging for all of our companies. But, as in the past, we know we can count on the support of our shareholders, our officers and employees, and the guidance of our directors to steer us through the challenges ahead. of losses on non-deliverable forward contracts. However, the company was not spared from the effects of the financial slowdown, and booked a P22 million mark-to- market loss on marketable securities. The Company continues to have a strong balance sheet with current ratio of 3.4: 1 and debt to equity ratio of 0.3: 1. Given the challenges and uncertainties posed by the markets during the year, we are pleased to report that BCII posted a respectable consolidated net income of P317 million, of which P273 million is income attributable to equity holders of the parent. For the past five years, your Company has paid dividends in the form of cash or stock dividends. In 2008, the company distributed a 10% stock dividend equivalent to P234 million. More recently, your Company declared a cash dividend of P0.40 per share or a total of P103 million, which will be paid out on April 24. Company’s existing investments, present bright prospects and will provide a steady stream of earnings for our shareholders in the long-term. As in the past, we know we can count on the support of our shareholders, our officers and employees, and the guidance of our directors to steer us through the challenges ahead. We also remember Amb. Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr. who founded this company more than fifty years ago as his response to the government’s call to transform the then-young country into an industrialized nation. Subsequently, he would set up other companies that would be the forerunners of the country’s biggest industries. These include Fil-Oil Refinery Corporation which ended the multinationals’ dominance in the petroleum industry, and Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corporation, a pioneer in the country’s oil exploration industry. We are inspired by his leadership and his entrepreneurial spirit and resolve to continue his tradition of helping in nation-building. OUTLOOK This year is fraught with uncertainties. We look to the immediate future with guarded optimism, knowing that the coming months will be challenging for all of our companies. Nevertheless, we are enthusiastic about the recent investments in education and business process outsourcing. We feel that these acquisitions, together with the Oscar J. Hilado Chairman of the Board Ramon R. Del Rosario, Jr. President 10 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. 10 Corporate Social Responsibility During the year, Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. (BCII), along with its investee companies, strengthened its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in pursuit of its mission of making life better for fellow Filipinos. Its programs focus on three key areas: education, the environment, and developing the spirit of volunteerism among its employees. EDUCATION BCII demonstrates its continued commitment to education by supporting the PHINMA National Scholarship (PNS) Program of the PHINMA Foundation. PNS currently supports 25 PNS scholars enrolled in engineering and accountancy at the University of the Philippines and in education at Philippine Normal University. The program includes leadership training programs, social activities, on-the-job training, and mentoring opportunities for the students. Together with other PHINMA Group companies, BCII is a major supporter of the One Thousand Teachers Program of Philippine Business for Education (PBEd). Our companies also support WIWAG, a five-day business management training program aimed at enhancing the business and economics education of college students. The program is implemented through the Education for Youth Enterprise Foundation, Inc. (EYE Foundation). Company officers volunteered to serve as trainers, and a total of 94 students attended and finished said the training. BCII’s subsidiary, Union Galvasteel Corporation (UGC) helped in the repair and reconstruction of school facilities of Bagong Silang Elementary School and Sta. Cruz Academy School and conducted tutorial programs for the students of Bagong Silang Elementary School. Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. ENVIRONMENT Environmental concerns were also a key focus area during the year. UGC, together with the Calamba Green Stream Brigade, hosted Sagip Ilog to help save the Baranca de Sipit River in Laguna and held several tree planting activities in areas near its plant in Calamba, Laguna. TA Oil, another BCII affiliate, through its Energy Conservation (EnerCon) program, challenged all companies and employees in the PHINMA Plaza to conserve energy. To date almost all the PHINMA Group Companies at the head office have exceeded the targeted 10% savings in KWHour usage. Phinma Property Holdings Corporation (PPHC), on the other hand, continues to sponsor more than two hectares of forests in the La Mesa Watershed, the last remaining watershed of its size in Metro Manila. INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PPHC also launched the Bagong Buhay program which aims to uplift the life of the Filipino by improving the quality of life in its host communities. Planned programs include adopt-a-park and adopt-a-barangay activities and “build-from-scrap” initiatives, where excess construction materials will be re-used and recycled to build much needed community projects such as chapels, classrooms, and public restrooms. BCII and its employees also participated in the launch of the Phinma HERO (Helpful Employees Responsible for Others) Network. This initiative of the Phinma Group aims to elevate the concept of CSR into Individual Social Responsibility or ISR and encourage volunteerism among our employees. The group recently organized a volunteer’s fair featuring Gawad Kalinga, Center for Restorative Activities Development and Learning Experiences (CRADLE), Philippine National Red Cross and Caritas Manila and thereby provided more opportunities for employees to volunteer. Our employees have responded favorably to this program, and more activities are scheduled this year. 11 12 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc.

I n d ependent Auditors’ Report The Stockholders and the Board of Directors Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

The parent company of BCII is Philippine Investment-Management (PHINMA), Inc. BCII is also controlled by PHINMA under an existing management agreement. PHINMA is incorporated in the Philippines. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the following Philippine Interpretations which became effective on January 1, 2008, and an amendment to an existing standard that became effective on July 1, 2008. Adoption of these changes in PFRS did not have any significant effect to the Company: • Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) 11, “PFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions” • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, “Service Concession Arrangements” • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, “Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 19, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirement and their Interaction” • Amendments to PAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and PFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures Reclassification of Financial Assets” New Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments to Existing Standards Effective Subsequent to December 31, 2008 The Company will adopt the following standards and interpretations enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Company does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations to have significant impact on its financial statements. Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. (OCI). Entities may choose to present all items in one statement, or to present two linked statements, a separate statement of income and a statement of comprehensive income. This amendment also prescribe additional requirements in the presentation of the balance sheet and statement of changes in equity as well as additional disclosures to be included in the financial statements. Effective in 2009 • PFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards - Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate” The amended standard allows an entity, in its separate financial statements, to determine the cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates (in its opening PFRS financial statements) as one of the following amounts: a) cost determined in accordance with PAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” ; b) at the fair value of the investment at the date of transition to PFRS, determined in accordance with PAS 39 or c) previous carrying amount (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles) of the investment at the date of transition to PFRS. • PAS 23, “Borrowing Costs” The revised standard has been revised to require capitalization of borrowing costs when such costs relate to a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. The Company’s current accounting policy requires capitalization of borrowing costs that relates to a qualifying asset in accordance with PAS 23. • PFRS 2, “Share-based Payment - Vesting Condition and Cancellations” • Amendments to PAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements - Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate” The revised standard clarifies the definition of a vesting condition and prescribes the treatment for an award that is effectively cancelled. It defines a vesting condition as a condition that includes an explicit or implicit requirement to provide services. It further requires non-vesting conditions to be treated in a similar fashion to market conditions. Failure to satisfy a non-vesting condition that is within the control of either the entity or the counterparty is accounted for as cancellation. However, failure to satisfy a nonvesting condition that is beyond the control of either party does not give rise to a cancellation. • PFRS 8, “Operating Segments” The Standard will replace PAS 14, “Segment Reporting”, and adopts a full management approach to identifying, measuring and disclosing the results of an entity’s operating segments. The information reported would be that which management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments and allocating resources to those segments. Such information may be different from that reported in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of income and the Company will provide explanations and reconciliations of the differences. This standard is only applicable to an entity that has debt or equity instruments that are traded in a public market or that files (or is in the process of filing) its financial statements with a securities commission or similar party. The Company will assess the impact of this standard to its current manner of reporting segment information. • Amendments to PAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements” This amendment introduces a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expenses recognized in the profit or loss together with ‘other comprehensive income’ This amendment prescribes changes in respect of the holding companies’ separate financial statements including (a) the deletion of ‘cost method’, making the distinction between preand post-acquisition profits no longer required; and (b) in cases of reorganizations where a new parent is inserted above an existing parent of the group (subject to meeting specific requirements), the cost of the subsidiary is the previous carrying amount of its share of equity items in the subsidiary rather than its fair value. All dividends will be recognized in profit or loss. However, the payment of such dividends requires the entity to consider whether there is an indicator of impairment. • Amendment to PAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation and PAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation” This amendment specifies, among others, that puttable financial instruments will be classified as equity if they have all of the following specified features: (a) The instrument entitles the holder to require the entity to repurchase or redeem the instrument (either on an ongoing basis or on liquidation) for a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets; (b) The instrument is in the most subordinate class of instruments, with no priority over other claims to the assets of the entity on liquidation; (c) All instruments in the subordinate class have identical features; (d) The instrument does not include any contractual obligation to pay cash or financial assets other than the holder’s right to a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets; and (e) The total expected cash flows attributable to the instrument over its life are based substantially on the profit or loss, a change in recognized net assets, or a change in the fair value of the recognized and unrecognized net assets of the entity over the life of the instrument. 21 22 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, “Customer Loyalty Programmes” related to future services that arise from plan amendments. Amendments to plans that result in a reduction in benefits related to future services are accounted for as a curtailment. This Interpretation requires customer loyalty award credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted and therefore part of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to the award credits and realized in income over the period that the award credits are redeemed or expire. • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, “Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation” This Interpretation provides guidance on identifying foreign currency risks that qualify for hedge accounting in the hedge of net investment; where within the group the hedging instrument can be held in the hedge of a net investment; and how an entity should determine the amount of foreign currency gains or losses, relating to both the net investment and the hedging instrument, to be recycled on disposal of the net investment. Improvements to PFRSs. In May 2008, the International Accounting Standards Board issued its first omnibus of amendments to certain standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard: • PFRS 5, “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” When a subsidiary is held for sale, all of its assets and liabilities will be classified as held for sale under PFRS 5, even when the entity retains a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary after the sale. • PAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements” Assets and liabilities classified as held for trading are not automatically classified as current in the balance sheet. • PAS 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment” • - The amendment replaces the term ‘net selling price’ with ‘fair value less costs to sell’, to be consistent with PFRS 5, (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations) and PAS 36, (Impairment of Assets). - Items of property, plant and equipment held for rental that are routinely sold in the ordinary course of business after rental, are transferred to inventory when rental ceases and they are held for sale. Proceeds of such sales are subsequently shown as revenue. Cash payments on initial recognition of such items, the cash receipts from rents and subsequent sales are all shown as cash flows from operating activities. PAS 19, “Employee Benefits” - Revises the definition of ‘past service costs’ to include reductions in benefits related to past services (‘negative past service costs’) and to exclude reductions in benefits - Revises the definition of ‘return on plan assets’ to exclude plan administration costs if they have already been included in the actuarial assumptions used to measure the defined benefit obligation. - Revises the definition of ‘short-term’ and ‘other long-term’ employee benefits to focus on the point in time at which the liability is due to be settled. - Deletes the reference to the recognition of contingent liabilities to ensure consistency with PAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. • PAS 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance” Loans granted with no or low interest rates will not be exempt from the requirement to impute interest. The difference between the amount received and the discounted amount is accounted for as a government grant. • PAS 23, “Borrowing Costs” Revises the definition of borrowing costs to consolidate the types of items that are considered components of ‘borrowing costs’, i.e., components of the interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method. • PAS 28, “Investment in Associates” - If an associate is accounted for at fair value in accordance with PAS 39, only the requirement of PAS 28 to disclose the nature and extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the associate to transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash or repayment of loans will apply. - An investment in an associate is a single asset for the purpose of conducting the impairment test. Therefore, any impairment test is not separately allocated to the goodwill included in the investment balance. • PAS 29, “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” Revises the reference to the exception that assets and liabilities should be measured at historical cost, such that it notes property, plant and equipment as being an example, rather than implying that it is a definitive list. • PAS 31, “Interest in Joint Ventures” If a joint venture is accounted for at fair value, in accordance with PAS 39, only the requirements of PAS 31 to disclose the commitments of the venturer and the joint venture, as well as summary financial information about the assets, liabilities, income and expense will apply. Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • PAS 36, “Impairment of Assets” When discounted cash flows are used to estimate ‘fair value less cost to sell’, additional disclosure is required about the discount rate, consistent with disclosures required when the discounted cash flows are used to estimate ‘value in use’. • PAS 38, “Intangible Assets” - - • - Effective in 2010 • Revised PFRS 3, “Business Combinations and PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” Expenditure on advertising and promotional activities is recognized as an expense when the Company either has the right to access the goods or has received the services. Advertising and promotional activities now specifically include mail order catalogues. Deletes references to there being rarely, if ever, persuasive evidence to support an amortization method for finite life intangible assets that results in a lower amount of accumulated amortization than under the straight-line method, thereby effectively allowing the use of the unit of production method. PAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” - Changes in circumstances relating to derivatives specifically derivatives designated or de-designated as hedging instruments after initial recognition - are not reclassifications. - When financial assets are reclassified as a result of an insurance company changing its accounting policy in accordance with paragraph 45 of PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, this is a change in circumstance, not a reclassification. - Removes the reference to a ‘segment’ when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a hedge. - Requires use of the revised effective interest rate (rather than the original effective interest rate) when re-measuring a debt instrument on the cessation of fair value hedge accounting. • PAS 40, “Investment Properties” Revises the scope (and the scope of PAS 16) to include property that is being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property. Where an entity is unable to determine the fair value of an investment property under construction, but expects to be able to determine its fair value on completion, the investment under construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or construction is complete. • PAS 41, “Agriculture” - Removes the reference to the use of a pre-tax discount rate to determine fair value, thereby allowing use of either a pretax or post-tax discount rate depending on the valuation methodology used. Removes the prohibition to take into account cash flows resulting from any additional transformations when estimating fair value. Instead, cash flows that are expected to be generated in the ‘most relevant market’ are taken into account. The revised PFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. The revised PAS 27 requires, among others, that (a) change in ownership interests of a subsidiary (that do not result in loss of control) will be accounted for as an equity transaction and will have no impact on goodwill nor will it give rise to a gain or loss; (b) losses incurred by the subsidiary will be allocated between the controlling and non-controlling interests (previously referred to as ‘minority interests’); even if the losses exceed the non-controlling equity investment in the subsidiary; and (c) on loss of control of a subsidiary, any retained interest will be remeasured to fair value and this will impact the gain or loss recognized on disposal. The changes introduced by the revised PFRS 3 and PAS 27 must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions and transactions with non-controlling interests. • Amendment to PAS 39, “Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items” The amendment addresses only the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The amendment clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. Effective in 2012 • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, “Agreement for Construction of Real Estate” This interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. This interpretation requires that revenue on construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, “Construction Contracts”, or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis, will also be accounted for based on stage of completion. 23 24 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Parent Company and cease to be consolidated from the date control is transferred out of the Parent Company. OAL has been included in the 2008 consolidated financial statements using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the 2008 consolidated statements of income and cash flows include the results of operations and cash flows of OAL from its initial acquisition date (December 24, 2008) to December 31, 2008. The purchase considerations have been allocated to the assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair value at the date of acquisition. Minority interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Parent Company and is presented in the consolidated statement of income and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from equity attributable to equity holders of the parent. Aquisitions of minority interests are accounted for using the parent entity extension method, whereby, the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Business Combination Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This involves recognizing identifiable assets (including previously unrecognized intangible assets) and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and excluding future restructuring) of the acquired business at fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are shortterm, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Short-term Investments Short-term investments represent investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of more than three months to one year. Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of all financial assets and liabilities, except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase the assets. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the balance sheet date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. When current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction. For all other financial instruments not quoted in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which observable market prices exist, and other relevant valuation models. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Company recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (Day 1 Gain or Loss) in the consolidated statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where data which is not observable is used, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Company determines the appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1 Gain or Loss” amount. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interests, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity net, of any related income tax benefits. Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial asset at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, and AFS investments. Financial liabilities are classified into: Financial liabilities at FVPL, and other financial liabilities. The Company determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. • Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at FVPL Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities Designated as at FVPL on Initial Recognition Financial assets or financial liabilities classified in this category included those that are designated by management on initial recognition as at FVPL when any of the following criteria are met: a. The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements b. The assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or • Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within one year from the balance sheet date, and as noncurrent assets if maturity date is more than one year from the balance sheet date. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade and other receivables and installment contract receivables are classified as loans and receivables (see Notes 7 and 9). c. The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded. Financial assets and financial liabilities designated as at FVPL are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value on financial assets and liabilities designated at FVPL are recorded in the consolidated statement of income under investment income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in investment income and interest expense and other financial charges, respectively, while dividend income is recorded according to the terms of the contract, or when the right to receive has been established. The Company has no financial asset or financial liability designated on initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities Held for Trading Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are also included in this category and are classified under financial assets and liabilities at FVPL. These financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value relating to the held-for-trading positions are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as net gain (loss) on investment held for trading under investment income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in investment income and interest expense and other financial charges, respectively, while dividend income is recorded when the right to receive payment has been established. • HTM Investments Quoted nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in consolidated statement of income when the HTM investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. HTM investments are classified as current if maturity is within 12 months from the balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. The Company did not classify any financial asset under HTM investments. • AFS Investments The Company’s investments in bonds, unit investment trust funds (UITFs), trust accounts, marketable equity securities and managed funds are classified as investments held for trading (see Note 8). Derivatives recorded at FVPL The Company enters into short-term forward currency contracts to hedge its currency exposure. Derivative instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date in which a derivative transaction is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. The Company has opted not to designate its derivative transactions under hedge accounting. Consequently, gains and losses from changes in fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income. The fair values of freestanding forward currency transactions are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The Company’s derivative assets or liabilities are classified as financial assets or liabilities at FVPL (see Note 30). AFS financial assets are those nonderivative financial assets that are designated as AFS or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the consolidated statement of income. AFS financial assets are classified as current if they are expected to be realized within 12 months from the balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. The Company’s investments in quoted and unquoted equity securities and other investments are classified as AFS financial assets (see Note 12). Other Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 25 26 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. The Company’s notes payable, trade and other payables, trust receipts payable, due to related parties and long-term debt are classified as other financial liabilities. Embedded Derivatives An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met: a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract; b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value and are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Gains and losses from changes in fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. For the purpose of specific evaluation of impairment, the Company assesses whether financial assets are impaired through assessment of collectibility of financial assets considering the debtor’s capacity to pay, history of payment, and the availability of other financial support. For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, if necessary, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit risk characteristics such as debtor type, payment history, past-due status and terms. Assets Carried at Cost. If there is objective evidence (such as continuing losses or significant financial difficulties of the investee company) that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. The Company makes a reassessment on whether an embedded derivative is to be separated from the host contract only if there is a change to the contract that significantly modifies the cashflows. The Company has bifurcated embedded foreign currency derivatives (see Note 30). Impairment of Financial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. AFS Investments. For AFS investments, the Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as AFS, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss is measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Increases in the fair value after impairment are recognized directly in equity. In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS, impairment is based on the same criteria as loans and receivables and HTM investments. Future interest income is based on the reduced amount based on the rate of the interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of interest income in the consolidated statement of income. If, in the subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument can be objectively related to an asset occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial Assets. A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where: Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. If there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. Loans and receivables together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if any, has been realized or has been transferred to the Company. If in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or • the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Where the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit or loss. Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet when there is a currently legal right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Land held for sale are valued at the lower of cost, which includes expenditures for development and improvements, or net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories, except spare parts, is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs to complete, sell and distribute. The net realizable value of spare parts is the current replacement cost. Investments in Associates The Company’s investments in its associates are accounted for under the equity method. These are entities in which the Company has significant influence and which are neither subsidiaries nor joint ventures of the Company. The investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share in net assets of the associates, less any impairment in value. The consolidated statement of income reflects the Company’s share in the results of operations of the associates. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates against the related investments. Unrealized losses are eliminated similarly but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred. The Company’s investment in an associate includes goodwill on acquisition, which is recorded in accordance with the accounting policy for goodwill. When the Company’s accumulated share in net losses of an associate equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, including advances for future conversion to equity, the Company discontinues the recognition of its share in additional losses and the investment is reported at nil value. If the associate subsequently reports net income, the Company will resume applying the equity method only after its share in that net income equals the share in net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, except land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss. Land is carried at cost less any impairment loss. The cost of property, plant and equipment, comprises its purchase price, including any applicable import duties and capitalized borrowing costs (for property, plant and equipment other than land) and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged to current operations in the year the costs are incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Inventories Inventories, excluding land held for sale and development costs, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: Finished goods Raw materials, spare parts and others - - determined using the moving average method; cost includes direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead costs based on normal operating capacity but excludes borrowing costs; determined using the moving average method. Plant site improvements Buildings and improvements Port facilities and equipment Machinery and equipment Transportation and other equipment 10–20 years 10–20 years 22.5 years 5–20 years 2–10 years 27 28 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements The useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the periods and depreciation method are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are met. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and carrying amount of the asset) is credited or charged to current operations. Construction in-progress represents plant and properties under construction/development and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, plant and equipment, borrowing costs directly attributable to such asset during the construction period and other direct costs. Construction in-progress is not depreciated until such time when the relevant assets are completed and ready for operational use. Investment Properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including direct transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time the cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of dayto-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 15 and 20 years. Investment property is derecognized when either it has been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the year of retirement or disposal. Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale. Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Where the costs of the business combination and the Company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are determined provisionally, goodwill is initially measured using those provisional values. The Company recognizes any adjustments to these provisional values and to the goodwill initially recognized, as a result of completing the initial accounting within twelve months from the acquisition date. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Company are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated: • represents the lowest level within the Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and • is not larger than a segment based on the Company’s primary or the Company’s any secondary reporting format determined in accordance with PAS 14, “Segment Reporting.” Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Intangible Assets The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as of date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial yearend. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Sale of Goods. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Tuition and School Fees. Income from tuition and school fees is recognized as income when earned based on a time-proportion basis. Tuition and school fees received pertaining to the summer semester and the next school year are recorded as “Unearned revenues” in the consolidated balance sheet. Rental. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Sale of Real Estate. Revenue from the sale of real estate, which includes cost of land and development, is accounted for under the percentage of completion method when the Company has material obligations under the sales contracts to complete the project after the property is sold. Under this method, revenue is recognized as the related obligations are fulfilled, measured on the basis of the ratio of actual cost incurred to date over the estimated total costs of the project as determined by the Company’s contractors and technical people. Any excess of collections over the recognized receivables are included under the “Unearned revenues” account in the current liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheet. If none of the revenue recognition criteria are met, deposit method is applied until all the conditions for recording a sale are met. Pending recognition of sale, cash received from buyers is presented as part of “Other noncurrent liabilities” account in the consolidated balance sheet. Development cost of land sold before the completion of the development is determined based on actual costs and cost to complete. The estimated cost to complete for sold real estate are included under the “Other noncurrent liabilities” account in the consolidated balance sheet. Port and Cargo Handling Services. Revenue from port operations is recognized when services are rendered. Interest. Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the asset. Interest is included as part of “Investment income.” Retirement Costs BCII, Araullo University, COC, BIPC and UGC have distinct funded, noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans covering all permanent employees, each administered by their respective Retirement Committees. Retirement costs are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for each plan at the end of the previous financial reporting year exceed 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plans. The past service cost, if any, is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service cost is recognized immediately. The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized, reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan, net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of those economic benefits. If there is no change or an increase in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Similarly, net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period exceeding any increase in the present value of the economic benefits stated above are recognized immediately if the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If there is no change or a decrease in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies: a. There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement; b. A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term; 29 30 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements c. There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or reversal is recognized in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. d. There is a substantial change to the asset. Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios a, c or d above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario b. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded. Impairment of Non-financial Assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and if the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amounts. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets: Investments in Associates. After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the Company’s net investment in the investee companies. The Company determined at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount of impairment being the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the investee company and recognizes the difference in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment of Goodwill. A test of impairment of goodwill is performed annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. Foreign Currency-denominated Transactions The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated using the closing rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency-denominated transactions are credited or charged to current operations. Income Taxes Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authority. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred Tax. Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: • where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward benefits of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused excess MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized except: • • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statement of income. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority. Earnings Per Common Share (EPS) attributable to the equity holders of the Parent Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (after deducting dividends on preferred shares) attributable to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year after giving retroactive effect to any stock dividend declared during the year. The Company does not have potential common shares nor other instruments that may entitle the holder to common shares. Hence, diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS. Segment Reporting The Company is organized into four major business segments. Such business segments are the bases upon which the Company reports its primary segment information. Financial information on business segments is presented in Note 35 to the consolidated financial statements. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Events After the Balance Sheet Date Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Company’s financial position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when material. 5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates The Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with PFRS require management to make estimate and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The Company believes the following represents a summary of these significant estimates and judgments and related impact and associated risks in its financial statements. Judgments Operating Lease - the Company as Lessor. The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Company has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases. Revenue Recognition. Selecting an appropriate revenue recognition method for a particular sale transaction requires certain judgments based on sufficiency of cumulative payments by the buyer and completion of development. 31 32 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements Estimation Uncertainty Impairment Testing of Goodwill. The Company performs impairment testing of goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Value in use is determined by making an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash generating unit and applies a discount rate in order to calculate the present value of these cash flows. Goodwill acquired through business combination has been allocated to one cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of the goodwill has been determined based on value in use calculation using cash flow projections covering a five year period. The carrying amounts of goodwill as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are P329.6 million and P65.9 million, respectively, included under “Intangibles” account in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 15). The carrying amount of goodwill, included under “Investments in associates” account, is P5.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 (see Note 11). No impairment loss on goodwill was recognized in 2008, 2007 and 2006. Impairment of Investments in Associates. The Company assesses impairment on investments in associates whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units. Estimating the value in use requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cashgenerating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amounts of investments in associates as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are disclosed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. Based on management’s assessment, the Company’s investments in associates are fairly stated, thus no impairment loss needs to be recognized. Impairment of AFS Investments. The Company treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgment. The Company treats “significant” generally as 20% more of the original cost of investment, and “prolonged”, greater than 6 months. In addition, the Company evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities. The carrying values of AFS investments as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are P331.5 million and P313.4 million, respectively. Based on management’s assessment, the Company’s AFS investments are fairly stated, thus, no additional impairment loss needs to be recognized in 2008 and 2007 (see Note 12). Deferred Tax Assets. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. The recognized deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P50.4 million and P73.9 million, respectively (see Note 31). The Company’s deductible temporary differences, unused NOLCO and MCIT for which no deferred tax asset is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P188.3 million and P485.2 million, respectively (see Note 31). Input Value-Added Taxes. The carrying amounts of input taxes were reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient revenue subject to value-added tax (VAT) will be available to allow all or part of the input VAT to be utilized. Allowance for unrecoverable input VAT amounted to P109.2 million and P104.7 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The carrying amount of input VAT classified as current assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P79.0 million and P125.9 million, respectively. The input VAT fully provided with allowance for unrecoverable amount as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P109.2 million and P104.7 million, respectively (see Note 16). Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, Investment Properties and Intangibles. The Company estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, depreciable investment properties and intangibles with finite useful lives based on the period over which the property, plant and equipment, investment properties and intangibles with finite useful lives are expected to be available for use and on the collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets and in the case of intangibles, useful lives are also based on the contracts covering such intangibles. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and investment properties are reviewed periodically and updated if expectations differ materially from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the property, plant and equipment and investment properties. However, it is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors. The amounts and timing of recording of expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P1,297.6 million and P1,294.9 million, respectively (see Note 13). The carrying amounts of depreciable investment properties as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P235.1 million and P250.1 million, respectively (see Note 14). The carrying amounts of intangibles with finite useful lives amounted to P90.5 million and P1.6 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (see Note 15). Impairment of Trade Receivables. The Company maintains allowance for doubtful accounts based on the result of the individual and collective assessments under PAS 39. Under the individual assessment, which considers the significant financial difficulties of the debtor, the Company is required to obtain the present value of estimated cash flows using the receivable’s original effective interest rate. Impairment loss is determined as the difference between the receivables’ carrying balance and the computed present value. The collective assessment would require the Company to group its receivables based on the credit risk characteristics (debtor type, past-due status and terms) of the debtors. Impairment loss is then determined based on historical loss experience of the receivables grouped per credit risk profile. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. The methodology and assumptions used for the individual and collective assessments are based on management’s judgment and estimate. Therefore, the amount and timing of recorded expense for any year would differ depending on the judgments and estimates made for the year. The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables (including the current portion of installment contract receivables) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are disclosed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements. The noncurrent portion of the installment contract receivable amounted to P58.5 million and P84.5 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The allowance for impairment of receivables specifically identified and collectively assessed amounted to P115.5 million and P96.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (see Note 9). Liability for Land Development. Obligations to complete development of real estate are based on actual costs and project estimates of contractors and Company’s technical staff. These costs are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates. Liability to complete project included in liability for land development are presented under “Other noncurrent liabilities” account in the consolidated balance sheets amounted to P2.3 million and P19.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Pension Benefits. The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of pension benefits is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. The assumptions presented in Note 32 include among others, discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets and rates of salary increase. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. The fair values of the identifiable acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition determined provisionally are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Prepayments and other current assets Property and equipment Customer contracts Refundable deposits and other noncurrent assets Accounts payable and accrued expenses Loans payable Deferred tax liability Estimating Net Realizable Value of Inventories. The Company carries inventories at net realizable value when this becomes lower than cost due to damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes. The carrying amounts of inventories as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to P1,042.4 million and P824.4 million, respectively (see Note 10).

The Company shall recognize any adjustments to those provisional values as a result of completing the initial accounting within twelve months from the acquisition date. Management deemed it impracticable to disclose the carrying amounts of each of the acquired assets and liabilities, determined in accordance with PFRS, immediately before the business combination. Goodwill determined provisionally from the acquisition amounted to P263.7 million (see Note 15). Customer contracts pertain to the identifiable intangible asset acquired and are expected to be fully amortized within 12 months from the acquisition date. The cash outflow related to the acquisition is as follows: The Company’s net pension liability under “Pension and other postemployment benefits” account amounted to P0.3 million and P0.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The net pension expense incurred in 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to P12.6 million, P17.7 million and P11.7 million, respectively (see Note 32). 6. Acquisition of Toon City Animation, Inc.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Company’s investments. The Company also has financial assets and liabilities, such as trade and other receivables and trade and other payables that arise directly from operations. The main risks arising from the Company’s treasury transactions are credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk. Careful study, skill, prudence and due diligence are exercised at all times in the handling of the funds of the Company. An Investment Committee reviews and approves policies and directions for investments and risks management. The basic parameters approved by the Investment Committee are: Safety of Principal Tenor Three year maximum for any security, with average duration between one and two years Exposure Limits a. For banks and fund managers: maximum of 20% of total funds of the Company per bank or fund b. For peso investments: minimal corporate exposure except for registered bonds c. For foreign currencies: maximum 50% of total portfolio. Limits on third currencies outside USD are set regularly and reviewed at least once a year by the Investment Committee For investments in equities whether directly managed or managed by professional managers: limits are set as approved by the Investment Committee and based on current market outlook at the time of review d. Compensation of key management personnel of the Company are as follows: Short-term employee benefits Post-employment benefits: Retirement benefits Sick leave and vacation leave Investment Objective Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Due to the Company’s investing and operating activities, the Company is exposed to the potential credit-related losses that may occur as a result of an individual, counterparty or issuer being unable or unwilling to honor its contractual obligations. In managing credit risk on these financial instruments, the Company transacts only with the Company’s duly accredited domestic and foreign banks. Investments per financial institution are subject to a maximum of 20% of the Company’s investible funds. It is the Company’s policy that investments cannot exceed 10% of the trust or mutual fund’s total assets. A comprehensive credit and business review in coordination with dealers or underwriters is performed whenever the Company invests in non-rated securities. Furthermore, the Company monitors the credit quality of corporate and sovereign bonds with reference to credit rating studies and updates from the major rating agencies. The Company’s exposure to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, investments held for trading, AFS investments, trade and other receivables, and derivative instruments arises from default of the counterparty with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Credit Quality of Financial Assets. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and derivative instruments are classified as high grade since these are deposited in/or transacted with reputable banks which have low probability of insolvency. 43 44 A n n u a l R e p ort 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company manages liquidity risks by restricting investments. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring weekly and monthly cash flows as well as updates of annual plans. The maturities of the financial liabilities are determined based on the Company’s projected payments and contractual maturities. The average duration adheres to guidelines provided by the Investment Committee. It is the Company’s policy to restrict investment principally to publicly traded securities with a history of marketability and by dealing with only large reputable domestic and international institutions. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 based on contractual undiscounted payments: 2008 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities at FVPLDerivative liabilities Other Financial Liabilities: Notes payable Trade and other payables Trust receipts payable Due to related parties Long-term debt Within 1 Year 1–2 Years P26,857 P– P– 123,818 354,419 537,252 143 96,322 P1,138,811 – 180 – – 134,110 P134,290 8,007 – – 226,554 P234,561 More than 5 Years Total P– P– P26,857 – 365 – – 58,750 P59,115 P– – – – 52,250 P52,250 P123,818 362,971 537,252 143 567,986 P1,619,027 2–3 Years 3–5 Years (In Thousands) 2007 Within 1 Year Financial Liabilities Other Financial Liabilities: Notes payable Trade and other payables Trust receipts payable Due to related parties Long-term debt P223,533 329,856 195,540 17,469 177,636 P944,034 1–2 Years P– – – – 112,658 P112,658 2–3 Years (In Thousands) P– – – – 105,370 P105,370 3–5 Years P– – – – 149,400 P149,400 More than 5 Years P– – – – 278,037 P278,037 Total P223,533 329,856 195,540 17,469 823,101 P1,589,499 Market Risk Market risks are managed by constant review of global and domestic economic and financial environments as well as regular discussions with banks’ economists/strategy officers to get multiple perspectives on interest rate trends/forecasts. Regular comparison of the portfolio’s marked-to-market values and yields with defined benchmarks are also made. Foreign Currency Risk The Company’s financial assets that are exposed to foreign currency risk are foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, investment in managed funds, investments in UITFs, and investment in bonds. Foreign exchange risks on the USD and other foreign currencies are managed through constant monitoring of the political and economic environment. Returns are also calibrated on a per currency basis to account for the perceived risks with higher returns expected from weaker currencies. The Company also enters into currency forward contracts to manage its currency risk. Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc.

The Company closely monitors and manages its debt-to-equity ratio, which it defines as total current and noncurrent liabilities divided by total equity. The Company considers its equity as the total of capital stock, additional paid-in-capital, share in equity component of convertible notes, unrealized gain on change in fair value of an AFS investment, share in unrealized gain on change in fair value of AFS investments of associates, retained earnings, and minority interest. To ensure that there are sufficient funds to settle its liabilities, the Company’s policy is to keep debt-to-equity ratio below 1:1.

N o t e s to Consol idated Financial Statements The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivable, Short-term Investments, Notes Payable, Trade and Other Payables, Trust Receipts Payable and Due to Related Parties. The carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the relatively short-term maturities of the financial instruments. Installment Contract Receivable. The fair value of this financial asset is based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows using the effective market rate. Discount rates used range from 4% to 8% in December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Investments Held for Trading and AFS Investments. Quoted market prices have been used to determine the fair value of financial assets at FVPL and listed AFS investments. Unquoted AFS investments are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss since the fair value is not readily determinable. The Company does not intend to dispose the unquoted AFS in the near future. Long-term Debt. The fair values are based on the expected cash flows on the instruments, discounted using the prevailing interest rate as at December 31, 2008 and 2007 for a comparable instrument in the market or discounted using MART 1 plus 4% interest as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 of 10.73% and 6.62%, respectively. Derivative Instruments Freestanding Derivatives. The fair value of freestanding currency forward transactions is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profile. The Company has outstanding currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of US$29.6 million as of December 31, 2008 and US$19.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The Company is on a “Sell-USD” position. The weighted average contracted forward rate is P46.75 to US$1.00 and P46.91 to US$1.00 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The net fair values of these outstanding currency forward contracts amounted to P26.9 million loss and P57.0 million gain as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The net movements in fair value changes of these derivative assets (liabilities) are as follows: Balance at beginning of year Net change in fair value during the year Fair value of settled contracts Balance at end of year 2007 2008 (In Thousands) P40,326 P56,964 270,936 (63,047) (254,298) (20,774) P56,964 (P26,857) Embedded Derivatives. Embedded foreign currency derivatives were bifurcated from certain of the Company’s purchase contracts, which are denominated in a currency that is neither the functional currency of a party to the contract nor the routine currency for the transaction. The Company has outstanding embedded forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of US$5.6 million and a weighted average contracted forward rate of P42.97 as of December 31, 2007. The net movements in fair value changes of these embedded derivatives are as follows: Balance at beginning of year Net changes in fair value during the year Fair value of settled contracts Balance at end of year 2008 2007 (In Thousands) P9,762 P2,480 (37,267) 31,895 27,505 (24,613) P– P9,762 The net changes in fair values of derivatives and embedded derivatives in 2008 and 2007 are presented as “Net gains (losses) on derivatives” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. 31.Income Tax The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Deferred tax assets: NOLCO Allowance for doubtful accounts Revalued net assets of a subsidiary Unrealized foreign exchange losses Accrued retirement expense Impairment loss Deferred: Interest income on refunds from Meralco Cost of sale Excess of straight-line recognition of management fee over contract payment terms Advances from students Unearned tuition fee MCIT Deferred tax liabilities: Revalued net assets Unrealized foreign exchange gains Revaluation increment Expansion of school facilities Pension asset Excess of straight-line lease over lease contract terms Unamortized debt issuance cost Unamortized capitalized borrowing cost Unrealized gain on change in fair value Derivative assets Deferred sale on real estate 2007 2008 (In Thousands) P35,515 6,662 4,903 1,984 753 314 P5,256 7,047 5,185 44,575 722 314 131 – 178 6,058 56 92 43 12 – 50,373 – 3,286 1,184 73,897 (52,660) (33,992) (27,594) (12,435) (6,628) (28,054) (6,500) (27,593) (12,445) (5,978) (2,428) (937) (840) (512) – – (138,026) (P87,653) (3,137) (529) (961) (18,157) (23,354) (13,170) (139,878) (P65,981) Annual Report 2008 | Bacnotan Consolidated Industries, Inc. 51 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: 2008 P13,960 (101,613) (P87,653) Deferred tax assets - net Deferred tax liabilities - net 2007 P– (65,981) (P65,981) Applicable statutory tax rate Income tax effects of: Interest income subjected to lower final tax rate Dividend income Nondeductible interest expense Change in unrecognized deferred tax assets and others Effective tax rates The Company’s deductible temporary differences, unused NOLCO and MCIT for which no deferred tax asset is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, are as follows: NOLCO Allowance for: Doubtful accounts Write-down of inventories to net realizable value Unrealized loss on change in fair value of investments held for trading Unrealized loss on derivatives Accrual for retirement benefits Unamortized past service cost MCIT Unrealized foreign exchange losses Accrued personnel cost 2007 2008 (In Thousands) P217,538 P43,101 32,409 30,909 849 849 29,961 26,857 19,888 15,293 12,860 5,259 1,790 P188,267 – – 24,584 16,487 11,582 183,278 – P485,227 Some of the Company’s deferred tax assets were not recognized since management believes that it is not probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to allow said deferred tax assets to be utilized.
